history essay

my brain is really drained from the exertion caused by the craziest essay i've done.

and there's still many more deadlines to meet, so i hope i can recover from this lethargy and from being mentally drained too.

(skip the next paragdraph if you don't follow football.)

nothing much to say actually. arsenal again came back from behind to draw, this time against middlesbrough. it's really becoming a very bad habit. well because of the taxing nature of the essay i haven't really been able to follow football over the weekend. my only worry is well, when are we going to start winning again? this is seriously the best time to put together a few wins and win the title at the end. oh well i hope things will pick up.

last sunday we went to megacarnival at taman warisan at bugis. it was okay, and we just amused ourselves by making a video. a surprise video too. but yea, i spent quite abit of time there. in any case, for all their limitations they did quite a decent job, but definitely for the next group of organisers, we all certainly would expect much more.

okay today i think i shall blog about very random things.

like today i went to the ntuc fairprice, and i'm really amazed at how much the prices of chocolates have risen. it's really risen by alot. $1 could get you a candybar chocolate a few years back, now it can't even buy 1/2 of milobar. it's really ridiculous. even kit kat is nearing $1 already. everything has risen significantly, from boost to hersheys and many others. i suppose it's really due to rising oil prices. the only thing not to have risen ever since i was still a young teen (i still am,deep inside) is toblerone. i'm surprised it hasn't risen, and naturally i purchased it just now. i suppose the swiss are so netural in world affairs that they don't even bother to let themselves get affected by the global rising oil prices.

yesterday on my way home in the train this guy sat beside me (i suppose i shall not mention his race) and just blasted the music from his handphone. how annoying can one get? i'm already so drained from 4 hours of non-stop staring at the computer monitor in school earlier, and this kinda people have to sit beside me? and he was actually grooving to the music. like trying out stupid hand movements and looking into his reflection in the window at the opposite side. this is the ultimate 'shiok sendiri' for goodness sake. i was thinking 'oh no the bugger's going to annoy me all the way till i reach my station!'. well, it turns out the handphone was his friend's, and i think he got annoyed by him because i think he feared his battery would run low if the guy kept blasting music continuously. anyway thank god he took back his handphone, because the other commuters were visibly pissed already. and the music was horrible for goodness sake.

today me and fairus kept laughing in lecture at this freaky and weirdo of a guy. he's really weird. he wears thick black socks and SAF sandals. wow. and he'll just mumble to himself loudly during the lectures (so loud that we could hear him all the way back at the last row in a big lecture theatre), and i seriously wonder what the lecturers think of him since he sits at the front. his mannerisms are really weird. i really wonder why some people are like that. is there an argument for him really being born like that? or is it the environment at home or in school that shapes him to be like that? i really wonder. in secondary school we had this guy in class, who was really weird. the name's terrence. ask any of my upper secondary school classmates, and they'll tell you all. he's really weird. he loves garfield so much he has a garfield pencil case and bag too i think. then, now and then he will just whip out his wallet and kiss garfield's photo that he keeps inside. they guy had green algae or mould or even toadstools growing on his nose. he was really very unhygienic. i'm serious. and he'll memorise like all the malay people's dad's name so that he could make fun of it if we bullied him. of course in a class like ours, naturally we would all bully him anyway. but well, apparently he's semi-retarded, according to our teacher. so i suppose that might explain his behaviour and character. the teacher did warn us about him. but well, we still bullied him anyway. haha. okay we were bad i know.

oh well, life would be mundane without such characters who don't fall into the lines of the common discourse.

on another note, i'm officially still confused!

okay that's all. presentations and interviews and essays coming up.
