Last christmas...

I was blog hopping around before I plan to start on my stupidy report.

I envy envy envy one blogger so much.

The thing that he/she had isn't anything much, but I bet its everything in the world that he/she needed.

I once thought it was something I had, but no.

I had it, but it never let me to happen.

Small wishes that I made that really matters wasn't granted, Big wishes that I don't need is always granted. Why?

They say how you spend your new year, is how you will be spending it for the rest of the coming year.

This year, is undoubtedly the worst year I ever had.

It didn't turn out like how I spent my new year.

Dear Santa...All I wish for is for a better year for me ahead. Give me something to look foward to. Someone to look foward to.

I guess I should face reality, Santa doesn't exists. They only appear in mall to give prezzies to lil' kids.

Time to write up report...

Oh, for people who are worried about my studies...

You know who you are. These are my results I've been getting lately.

I'm quite happy with it, except for the first test.

Fourier Series(Maths) - 53%
Laplace Transform(Maths) - 70%
Linear Algebra(Maths) - Haven't got offical results yet. Hoping It'll be about 87%. Good feeling that it will. :)
Fatique Analysis(Design Theory & Calculation) - 80%

Hopefully I will get a Second Upper Class Degree. But, First Class would be better.

One thought...Many Songs...

3.00pm - End my Lab

3.30pm - Put on my iPod and walk to friend's house.

3.32pm - My mind became so aware of the music. It hit me.

These three songs kept playing randomly on my iPod.
It just hits me.
Its like jackpot.
Everything on my mind.

I'll let you into bits on my mind.


Song No.1 - Running Up That Hill (by Placebo covering Kate Bush)

You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder.
there's a thunder in our hearts, baby.

so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, be running up that hill.
You and me, be running up that hill.
You and me, won't be unhappy.


Song No.2 - If You Leave (by Nada Surf)

If you leave, don't leave now.
Please don't take my heart away.
Promise me just one more night.
Then we'll go our separate ways.
We've always had time on our sides.
Now it's fading fast.
Every second every moment.
We've gotta make it last.

I touch you once I touch you twice.
I won't let go at any price.
I need you now like I needed you then.
You always said we'd still be friends, someday.

If you leave I won't cry.
I won't waste a single day.
But if you leave don't look back.
I'll be running the other way.
Seven years went under the bridge.
Like time was standing still.
Heaven knows what happens now.
You've got to you gotta say you will.

If you leave.
If you leave.
Don't look back.
Don't look back.


Song No.3 - The World At Large (by Modest Mouse)

Ice-age heat wave, can't complain.
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plan.
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand.
I move on to another day, to a whole new town with a whole new way.
Went to the porch to have a thought.
Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop.
You don't know where and you don't know when.
But you still got your words and you got your friends.
Walk along to another day.
Work a little harder, work another way.

Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan.
We'll float on maybe would you understand?
Gonna float on maybe would you understand?
Well I'll float on maybe would you understand?

The days get shorter and the nights get cold.
I like the autumn but this place is getting old.
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast.
It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most.
The day's get longer and the nights smell green.
I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave.

I like songs about drifters - books about the same.
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
Walked on off to another spot.
I still haven't got anywhere that I want.
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?

The moths beat themselves to death against the lights.
Adding their breeze to the summer nights.
Outside, water like air was great.
I didn't know what I had that day.
Walk a little farther to another plan.
You said that you did, but you didn't understand.

I know that starting over is not what life's all about.
But my thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
My thoughts were so loud.



5.35pm - Got home from Selly Oak.

5.34pm - Turn on my lappy and randomly play my tunes.

5.37pm - It hit me again.



Song No.4 - Float On (by Goldspot covering Modest Mouse)

I backed my car into a cop car the other day
And he drove off sometimes life's ok
I ran my mouth off a bit too much oh what did i say
You just laughed it off it was all ok

Yeah we'll all float on ok
Yeah we'll all float on ok
Yeah we'll all float on ok
Alright already we'll all float ok

A fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam
It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand
Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans

Yeah we'll all float on ok
Yeah we'll all float on ok
Yeah we'll all float on ok
Alright already we'll all float ok

We both got fired on the exactly the same day
Well we'll float on good news is on the way
Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans

Yeah we'll all float on ok
Yeah we'll all float on ok
Yeah we'll all float on ok
Now don't worry we'll all float on


There...tiny bit on my mind that matters lots. Don't bother bout the hidden emo-ness in this post. Just think about the great songs I mentioned. At least I know some people I know would appreciatte both. Till sleep do us part again...

Chocolllllaaaaatttteeeee......

This few days have been real fucking hectic days for me. This is how I make a full use of my day.
On a weekdays...I will usually work my ass off. Ermm...Maybe with a little short trip to the city to get some groceries. Why do it on a weekdays? Cuz...weekends is just a pain in the ass to go shop for anything at all. I mean like seriously! The train services is not as frequent as it on weekdays. Its even worse on a Sunday! They will close a few station for upgrading purpose. Luckily my hall is fairly accessible by bus services.

On the weekends, I will usually spend my time hanging about. Walk around. Its a really nice day to just get out and get yourself pampered.

Oh, I did mentioned about me having a fucking hectic day right? You know why? I have only one weeks left for my semester. YES! I AM FINISHING MY FIRST SEMESTER OF YEAR 2! I just got here like two months ago? And I'm ending my first semester soon already. Anyways, everyone knows how a semester usually ends with? Exams, coursework, projects, and presentations. Well, I have lots to do with my project. I stayed in the University from day till night at 11pm. And I swear its fucking creepy to stay in the Uni till that late ALONE!

Why I stayed in the library till so late? Oh well, my projects due date is not far away. There's two project I'm working on now. One is due on the 15th December, another is on the 12th December. But I'm trying to get everything done by today (Friday the 8th) if possible. Well I mean I WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE!!! YEAH BABAY!!! And...Most of it were done!

The two projects that I'm currently doing actually involves designing and drawings. The first part is of course, Design. Then Draw. The drawing part is giving me headache. Because I have to draw up some fucking complicated stuff using some software I haven't used before. Luckily, I took AutoCAD lessons when I was 16. That really helps a lot, all I need is just get my self familiar with the interface of the software. But drawing it, its another headache.

What my project is about? I have two right? One is my Automotive module, and another is for my Computer Geometric Aided Modelling module. Ahahaha....You guys must be thinking what the fuck am I talking about now. Well, the first one is about cars. So, my project is to design a fucking CAR. Yes, a whole fucking car. We must consider the safety thingy, the calculation, the chassis of the car. And the best fucking thing that makes it even harder, is that there are only two of this type of car built in the world. Well, one was built by Ferrari, another is a prototype by Peugeot. And they expect us to design this car with no fucking resources?! Well, that's how hard my drawing is gonna be. I'm in charge of designing the wheels, disc brakes, suspension systems, and the axle of the car.

The another project is much easier, but the hard part is the software. Because the software I'm using is different than what I'm using for the car design. This is a much more complicated software. But what I need to do is to design a Shaver. Yes, you do need Mechanical Engineers in designing the shavers as well. See how flexible a mechanical engineer can be? But well, a master of everything is master of nothing.

ArrgghhH!!! STOP BLABBING BOUT WORKS!!!! Oh, last saturday...to take my mind off things. I decided to go for a walk and just shoot some pictures of the surroundings. So I walk along the canal from the university all the way to the city. It was about a fair 3.5km of walk involved there. It was fun really, really relaxing. There were loads of couples walking by the canal. Well, old and happy couples. I have some pict of it as well! Here...


Quack quack!!! The first sound I heard as I descend down the stairs to the canal. Cute right the duck?! Chee Liang...You wanna "sexxor" the duck? :D


A road sign. Or I should say, a canal sign. What's it for? Like duh! Showing you which side is to where la! My destination... Gas Street Basin, which is like 5km away!


This...my friends...is why its so lovely to walk along the canal. Or maybe its just because I love to be somewhere near water source, like a lake, beach, river, or a canal like this. AND NOT *LONGKANG(the drain)!

After the walk, couple of guys called me to just hang out for the day and have lunch. So I went for lunch in Chinese's Quarters. Met a few friends. And...the guys was fucking hilarious. They were talking about chocolate fondue they had the night before (which I missed because I was too freaking tired). Then this guy explain about how chocolates can turn girls on.

Joker: Eh...you know right, chocolate has special effects on girls wan you know.

Audience: What do you mean?

Joker: You know, there's this chemical in the chocolate. They trigger the senses of the girl.

Audience: Trigger senses? So what? She'll get high?

Joker: You know when they're high on the chocs, you just give them a nudge and just say "Eh...take of la...". She'll striaght say "Okay la!"

Audience: AKAKAKAKAKAKA!!!!

Joker: But but but!!! Must use good chocolate you know. There's this one chocolate brand called Godiva(if i didn't get it wrong) from Selfridges. This chocolate is damn good. It contains 70% cocoa in it. So the effect more "kau".

Audience: Woah! Expensive la the chocolates from Selfridges! Cannot use other chocolates meh?!

Joker: You can la, but you know. The quality of the chocolates determine the quality of you know la...

Audience: WTF??!! AHAHAHHAHA!!!!


I was like WTF man?! This guy is crazy hilarious. After lunch, we were walking aimlessly. But it seems like most of us are heading towards Selfridges. AHAHAHHA!!! I was like are these guy gonna believe what he said?! And so, we walked to the chocolate section. OMG. OMG. OMG. The chocolate selection there is freakingly huge. I am so tempted. I took a small lil' box of chocolate wine truffles up. The box is prolly the size of a compact digital camera. It was beautifully packed. I wanted to try it so badly, it looks so darn delicious. I scanned around for the price.

Oh...Just now the Student Guild were having some events called the Mega Mix. Student Guild? Its like erm...all the societies and thing. You know how every Condominiums has it own clubhouse right? This is like the university version of the clubhouse, for the students. So yea, this events is run by a lot of societies in the university. There are hundreds of society in the university. So the events starts from Friday 7th December 6pm until Saturday 8th December 6pm.

My society, the PhotoSoc were having some photo exhibition of the member's works. I put up a photo of mine in the exhibition. There were some other activities going on tht night as well. There is Fashion Show, Jazz & Blues, Rock Bands, & Footballers getting waxed.

I was pulled in by a friend organising a charity event. She told me the footballers are getting waxed for charity. Thought I'd have a look. OMG...I can feel the pain...


There...the Defender getting waxed in the armpit. OMG...UURRGHHHH!!! Pain weh...


THe Defender again...getting waxed in the leg. OMG.......I can feel how he feels. Bonnie(the girl in the pic) you are so evil. HOW CAN YOU WAXED HIM?!

Oh...the worst one is. One of the footballers said tht he'll wax his crotch. YES. HIS FUCKING PUBIC HAIR. OMG!!!!!!!!! THT IS DAMN FUCKING PAIN! Btw...the pict is not taken because I do not want to look like a fucking gay pervert. You can actually see his balls. Its fucking gross...


Entry wristband to the event! I feel like I'm in a theme park instead of going into a university. (BUGS = Birmingham University Guild of Students)

This is all I guess for today...I'm getting headaches already. Haven't had a good nights sleep yet...

Till sleep do us part...
