LARRY - today was a pretty amusing day! went to school late, and had a small lunch with my classmates, and we proceeded to do our OPC and FPD assignments. apparently we got sidetracked like every other time, but nonetheless still able to get a few things done. all of us we going to help teng teng and huiling with their WSS Assignment presentation, but they did rather good. i was pretty impressed by the simplicity of their slides, and their concise presentation, not to forget the on site drawing of the layout of the warehouse they proposed. i couldn't have done better.

FPD was actually free time to us, since the lecturer was pretty slack about his teaching, as long as you did his stuff. actually all of us we 4 lab tutorials behind schedule, but he didn't quite mind, except to remind us every tuesday. lingli came in late today, and bought us the makan we wanted from macdonald's. i ate my apple pie all over my laptop, and i think i haven't rid of every flake out of my keyboard yet.

presentation time for the two, and yea, it was good. furthermore they were able to fend off every vocal ballistic missile, set for the trajectory of the girls. sweet shit man. i shall continue in the morning; i'm really worn out at the moment.


Well im still feeling tired today, but i shall continue with yesterday's post, as well as today's. After the presentation, some of us headed up to the MDE office, either to have the gamesday debrief or to gather to do assignments. We sat around till 6 plus, and had dinner. Later, we split to go NP strings or to go to study.

Study time was really good, having completed 90% of my OPC assignment. This is one assignment that i had to do on my own; junwei left NP, but he isn't much help so i'm not complaining. As usual, i puty slides all red, black and white.

So that's it for yesterday, apart from the late jog i had that made me really tired. At least it was a pretty good one. (=


today i had a really good time at french. lucky for me, teng teng and the rest told me not to, and it turned out cool. besides, it would seem that i can read the words, more or less. we learnt how to say colors in french, as well as clothes and euro. french class passed rather quickly, possibly because it was fun, and that we wasted mroe than half an hour doing the dating violence survey.

after class, met huiping and we both went home. slept for a good forty five minutes, had dinner, and set to improve my OPC slides for the next day's presentation. by about nine o'clock i was done, and i pushed my weakly-feeling body to do. turned out very productive, and i felt even better for the next one hour, but the next morning, heavy arms. ugh. i'm going to rest on the weekend.

in between sets, my classmates and i were deciding on our schedule for the next day, as well as frisbee. lingli wanted to go quite badly, so i shall bring my shoebag the next day. hopefully the guys can finish their OPC presentation slides, so that we can go to queensway to do a little shopping. i was hoping to get shorts and maybe tights. i want some shirts too!

LARRY - today was a pretty nice day and everthing, and we went to town in the evening. jiaming gave all 6 of us a sweet ride throughout, and it was pretty fun! his driving was actually great, but we could sense he was a little jittery on the road. having a total of seven of us in the car wasn't exactly of definition of cozy. at one point of time lingli took the boot, and it was fun! it was pretty amusing too, to see her in there.

so we went to orchard central, takashimaya, wisma, peninsula and plaza singapura respectively. it was great, maybe because i got to sample many headphones. utlimately our goal today was to see what headphones lingli would like, a bag jiaming wanted, and i myself wanted to see what they offered at the nikeid studio, as well as the prices of recabling and an entry level portable amplifier. jiaming and i got want we wanted, but lingli was still lost for headphones.she liked the skullcandies, but she really preferred the one she saw in some other girl's head, but it would seem the brand of that particular one was hard to find. i myself was amazed by what the cheap skullcandies can offer. at only about 75 dollars, it was somewhat almost there with my burnt in FC700. the new sennheiznier line of headphones really did hit the spot on the price performance ratio. the bose model fared well too, but in all, i still like my over sized grados.

in between all the squeezing and travelling on the road, we had the famous rochor soy bean milk, and it was really great! we drank and ate till we were quite full. i'm glad we haven't eaten dinner yet. i haven't been to town in a while, and i was quite amazed what was going on there. the cathay, orchard central and the ion were beautiful buildings. oh yea and the mention of the cathay reminds me of stephanny, we saw her working at billy bombers, with the cute looking waiter and waitress attire. we said hello to her from the other side of the glass panels, and set off.

it was rather fun, but we ended up reaching home quite late. i myself touched down at eleven- twenty, and i wonder what time did the others reach home. i was pretty shagged, so i took to the bed after a quick bathe.

LARRY - well today its the first day i skipped class of this term. Knowing that i couldn't sleep last night, i wont be going to school early. I woke up at nine, and ate breakfast and lazed around. I nearly slept and. Got out of the house at 9.45. Walked to my bus stop, and look who was there! Its was the git who bullied me in my younger days. Lucky there was paul to intervene. Thanks man. 

I dont usually see him around the estate, but he lives within the estate, and his block is next to mine. I'm not complaining, but whenever i do, i feel the surge of adrenaline coursing through my veins. I was so raised that i am ready to give it back to him. I saw him with a shoe bag, meaning he actually goes to gym now! 

skinny piece of shit, i wont let you outdo me. I am going to be tougher, stronger and faster than you. I may be weak back then, but now i am going to get real pumped. 

Just watch where you tread.  

LARRY - i'm done with my report, as well as presentation for the WSS assignment. i managed a peek at my marks from Mr Wee (seriously, i was peeping at the file with has our scores in them) and saw that i had an 80% for the presentation. alright!

our presentation was pretty much ripped from our report, and i just rephrased the points. i did not finish my slides in time for class, so after we we done with it (we had a test, so i cant do anything about the slides) i rushed to the lab where we are going to have our presentation. i just ran trough them, updating small details, as well as putting a simple theme on, just in time for she arrived. anyways, this proves that having content and relevancy is key to a great presentation, not just simply piling on the eye candy.

so people are to ask questions to get participation marks. i loved the one teeli asked about not being able to store certain clothes like gowns in boxes, and what are we to do? i blurted out, saying that since our imaginary company has the same relativity to Nike, i shot back " i didn't know Nike made gowns," the very reason i never do these kind of replies is that i'm already aggressive; my looks and sometimes the way i speak, i very often intimidate or even piss people. so i forced myself not to do this. but for the very same reason those people are desperate to get the stupid participation marks, i had to resort to this. sorry to the other people, if i offended you. i'm going to try to help my guys, who are presenting, out tomorrow. i'm not going to let them get get pummeled with questions from them.

today i went to queensway to get guys to make the jerseys for ourselves. apparently i'm getting a little bored already, since there is so much waiting time, and i can't seem to get up with a great design. and now i realized, i am spending time and effort in designing the jersey, to impress the guys i don't like. i feel like a dumb fuck.

now it's late, and i'm waiting for my downloads to complete. it's only about 25 percent more to go. hurry, hurry bittorrent, because i want new music to listen to tomorrow on my way to school!

anybody who has a great idea for jersey design, or as a matter of fact any potential design, do tell me! thanks people!

LARRY - this far, it has been pretty fun. tree top walk was really great and relaxing, and a new experience. makes me think twice about sky diving.

so woke up on the day at seven thirty, and was out of the house by eight o'clock. i snuffed my running shoes, shirt, headphones and wallet into my scarlet timbuk2. was a tight squeeeze, but it held everything just fine. got on the bus at ten past eight, where i was plugged into august burns red playlist. was a pretty cool band, except that it was mostly goring, so i was kinda turned off.

reached ang mo kio station at eight forty, and decided to go to the hub to relax and enjoy some air con. it was pretty peaceful there, until i broke the silent air with avenged sevenfold's bat country. i really wanted to get a cup of blended coffee at starbucks(or was it coffee bean?), but the stall was still closed. i had to go meet the guys anyways.

met the lot of us outside cheers, and off we went to the place. it was macrichie reservoir and rifle range connected, and i didn't know that for the longest time. the place was renovated, and they even had put asphalt on the very spot i used to train with my secondary schools track and field team. it brought back good memories, how i wanted to be just as fast as my peers.

we took about five hours, to walk through the path, and back to the starting point.was about two thirty then, and we wen to sumo house for a quick lunch, and headed home with teng teng.reached home and knocked out for a good two hours then, and went for dinner and continued with the WSS assignment report we had to hand in today.apparently we were one of the few to finish it this fast, and now we have time to do other stuff.

and so today, i decided to go on with the idea of making the class tee, and went on to make a proposal for the class to see. eventually with further discussion with teng teng and the team, we had our white jersey to a red nike one, and with a classic jersey in mind.i really wanted a tee, because our last one was rushed and didn't come out as nice, and i wanted some individuality and identity(like always), and am willing to show it off. i already finished the design as of this moment, and i had some people to take a look at it, and gave pretty positive comments on it. sweet shit man, it's gonna turn out cool.

i really hope that the rest of the guys in the class would see to my proposal. i really liked it, not because i did it, but it would be super awesome if anyone wore it. i still have to check the prices and all, but am certain i can propose to them by the end of the week.


okay, let's return to work now, shall we?

LARRY - yep, i finally got my long awaited grado SR125i! was kinda itching to listen to them all evening, but i was out with leonora, so that can wait. i rushed down after OPC in a cab and met her at causeway point, and we den went to KFC for dinner. damn, i have been eating too much fast food this week.

she shared with me where and what tattoos she wanted, and i asked her about her new boyfriend. man, was he fit. so we were swearing and talking like we haven't seen each other in centuries, and ate the oily, but satisfying, fried chicken parts.

we played photo hunt in KFC for about an hour and a half, and we went to stereo electronics to get my grado. it was some good shit, having heard more detail than my audio technica FC 700. i bought a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter since it was a fucking large plug that was used for amps and karaoke.

we also saw some sweet headphones from skullcandy, but it was all humped up bass, and it didnt make much difference from a extra bass earbuds. i wanted a case for my grado to snuggle in, but it was another 32 dollars. i decided to go another time for that.

we then went to return the bride wars DVD leonora rented from video ezy, while i dropped in a cheque from my dad for his business. we parted at about 8.30, and boy, was it fun!

so i went home, and my dad sampled my headphones. he gave it a B-, to my understanding and interpretation, because of the increase of detail and bass from my previous headphones. he let me try my headphones on his amp, and it sounded so natural and just made me go wow. amps really do make a huge difference.


now i'm going to let my headphones get some burning in. bass-filled playlist, you're up next!

LARRY - i blew up in class. but i ask myself: is it right to blame my classmates for not presenting early?

well that's a no. my tuition teacher has always told me: if you want something so badly, you will do anything to get it.

i want to show them i'm not some bottom rung, spoilt kid who listens to metal. i can do more than any one as you can.

but at this rate i'm going, the rest of them are going are going to get bored of my short fuse and shun me. i hate being overtaken.

ugh.

LARRY - i can't sleep. I found out that i miss the very person left. I read last msg that she sent that i always avoided reading but kept it in my inbox. Fuck my typical conscience.

But whatever happens, i'm not going back. Its was a choice that i made, selfishly. I'm always like that. I'm always the "logical and straightforward one. Heck, hope she's doing well without me.

Let this be my last time i look back.

LARRY - today was the same as the other. you guys know what adjective i'm going to use. so anyways like every other day, i'm pretty restless, and it would seem my classmates are already tired babysitting me.

felt pretty good today, because we were the first to present our stuff for SMRKT, and unlike every other time, we were the last. and i hate to let that group take all the glory. being snobbish is something i really dislike. i knew i had the advantage of my loud voice, so i pretty much triumphed over them in my presentation, but their research was just a lot. as always. at least i knew i did great today. but i have to thank jun jie for making his slides very much able to relate to, and the simplicity and affirmative way he went really topped the list. this had gave us a great advantage today, although our overall marks was lower than average. it was still good though.

to say a little on snobbiness, it just sometimes you just try to be funny or making an effort and this person comes along and just acts so mature that really gets me fired up. i'm just trying to get the class altogether and ultimately bond , so just help me there. so ease up on your attitude or i'll really fuck you from behind. so what if you get higher marks than most of us? it's actually what you think only. we we tried hard enough, we will surpass you. any day you please.

went home soon after the last class, and met some kid on the bus who knew me from pinata camp. it was a great feeling, but i don't recognize him the slightest bit. he's from L102, but hey i have no idea. sorry man. but thanks for saying hello.

read my vincent ng's book on his ten weeks of his exercise regime, i have definitely gotten a better idea of what to do. my actually post today is to have my goals out here, so it's harder for me to retract it, and have a better go at it attaining it. as for diet i got it covered, but as for the exercise plan i would need to work harder on it. all i know is that i have to lose some weight so that it would show better.

so my goal - to reach 63kg from 65kg in 60 days from now, and go alternate days i do weights and go jogging. eat lesser and to get more protein in a 55:25:20 ratio (protein in the middle). to do the weights till failure. pretty much it, but it will be harder to attain than said. but i liked the satisfaction i get after doing them, so i guess i can do it.


i want my shirts to fit better on me.

LARRY - well today we finished shifting the stuff in my room, and rearranged it twice, before everybody was happy about it. i couldn't quite care less; all i wanted was to settle the stuff down so i could relax and be at peace. now my room's all spaced up, and i have my speakers and sub-woofers next to me, so i can really enjoy the bass. too bad the position of my speakers makes my music resonate throughout the whole house even more.

now my room is of a cool, and actually rather deep green. my dad says it would make me feel more relaxed and not be so hot-headed, but i don't quite feel it. i just like the space i can use for doing my weights.

finally took some time to tune the equalizer in itunes so that my third rate creative speakers could sound a step better. well it did sound better, but i guess i proved even tweaking the settings couldn't make miracles.

was doing my ECOM BreadTalk assignment, and just taking a break from it to do my post.

LARRY - today was like every other day - mundane and unexciting, which then i trotted slowly to class. i still had my AGM script to be confirmed with xanier and my WSS presentation to be read through again, so i got to it. both turned out okay,except for my presentation - we had our content all wrong. well, at least our lecturer gave us a passing grade.

off to lunch and pretty much waited for the next class. stoned for a an hour, and later revised a little on the ECOM test. told my mates to get gym stickers so that they could use the school's gym, and i could have them along when i went. i really want to improve on my physical outlook on that part.

i loved the lift at our block, and we had fun being in a completely darkened lift. we should have taken our chance to have a little fun with that girl that came in with us when it was pitch black. )=

went home and napped, and awakened cranky. ate instant noodles with vegetables that were twice as much as the noodles and helped out my dad to do the finishing touches on his room. he painted his room today, and he did a great job at it. tomorrow's going to be my room, and i'm going to be stuck dirty helping him for the whole day. but i'm not complaining; there is going to be improvements in my room regarding floor space and having a windier and cooler room.

still felt a little restless and crabby, so i used it on my weights. i know i should have rested after having a good bout yesterday, but hey it feels good pushing all my negative vibes out. besides, i'm getting chubby, and now i have the momentum going, it would be easier for me to keep at it, unlike while in secondary school. and yes, i couldn't touch my neck again!

settled down and had a second bowl of yoplait strawberry yogurt (i had one after dinner,) and did my post for the day.


i'm still hungry.

LARRY - got back home, was feeling a little overwhelmed by fatigue and irritation, as my dad was in my room patching up the holey walls left behind by the aircon installation crew. I cant get to my bed to nap and it was so fricking warm there. I held my sore annoyance in, and went to surf the net. I then did a little reading up on anablic steroids and their side effects, and i also check to see whether people could actually get steroids for recreational purposes. I guess not, but from what i know, it multiplies the effort put into exercise, and growth of every tissue, every cell accelerates at an astonishing speeds. No wonder athletes always get caught with it.

Another interesting fact i found out is that testosterone is also a kind of androgenous steroid, which i thought as much, since if testosterone levels determine how athletic a person is. feeling a little hyped, i went on to do weights. and today's results turned out to be pretty good, even though i'm really tired.

i know when i did a good enough job at it if i cant touch my neck after doing it. and i had a hard time cleaning my neck when i was bathing. went out and met my sis, aunt and gma for dinner at the essential brew, where my sis works.

dinner was fantastic, and we also had the frolic yogurt which was at the opposite end of the essential brew. went home shortly after, and went on to complete my WSS assignment. did it for half and hour, and it was good to go. it was only five minutes past ten, so i did a couple of sets more to see whether i could take it. died at 3 more, but it felt great.

i haven't completed AGM script and ECOM assignment, so i shall get to it after this.

somehow i feel something's missing. i need something, but what? and it isn't the headphones.

LARRY - i am so tempted to get the grado headphones i wanted. recently have been searching forums and like millions of websites to check for the lowest price for it, but it seemed like it was quite stuck at 260 dollars. i have only 160 left in my account, but hey, i guess i should save then spend later.

ugh the sound of the headphones are so alluring. tried the sr80 headphones that was a bump lower than the sr125 i wanted, and i was quite impressed by it. after all, having a better and tighter bass response than my current FC700s is definitely what i wanted, considering the genres of i listen to, and that it was definitely clearer.

damn i got to save pretty soon. my headphones are spoilt at the hinges already.
