This week. It’s been different for me. Things for this week even from the most cynical perspective. Was (dare I say it?) good (in the sort of way where everything that could go wrong didn’t. Some of the things did. But not everything). Well sure. 4 am nights, 6 am wake up calls. A 50 bloody page project would usually take the spring out of my step. And remind me how much I hate engineering. And that MAYBE I shouldn’t have skipped first year of engineering instead of diving straight into the second year thinking that it would somehow validate myself in some way, or that MAYBE I should have stuck straight to the plan, and been a good Asian boy and did medicine as I had initially planned to(but chickened out of. Because.(Fill in blanks. Be creative. I’ll give you an example. Because I was abducted by a beauty queen that wanted to elope in Vegas ONLY if I did engineering instead) But that thought kept itself quietly in the corner of my mind in stark contrast with pretty much the rest of the torturous grueling mind numbing gay ( I wuv anti-climaxes) 4 months.

Well. Now. I shall be in tewweebwel azngeek form, be hirarious, and try to make this post semi intellectual( semi -> definition: partial. NOTE: I didn’t mention how intellectual it would be. I think using words I don’t understand qualifies as some sort of intellectual stimulation. I pick the word now. *looks up* A big word!)

So about the difference in the week. I’d probably attribute it to the lack of time to actually think of thinks through. Brood over life. Contemplate existence. And just be overly philosophical and annoy the person on the treadmill next to me with my uncomplicated self absorbed annoying theories. But that lack of time. It allowed for me to make silly decisions. Like go to Mcdonalds. And have a big mac. (damn. I had mcdonalds this week. The first time in 2 and a half years… the heart stopping burger. I hope I see another day. On a totally unrelated note, a fitting quote for this news of an unfortunate event. “Give me a McStraw so I can jam it in your McEye” - some comedian.) I think we’ve established that this week was busy, but not entirely crappy.
Okay. Why the difference. Without further delay. I’ll hint more at why my week was different! Hah. Fooled you. I’m an ass : D.

EDIT: Will continue this post tomorrow. Far too sleepy right now

Bah. 4 am nights for the week finally took its toll. The 3 hours of soccer and touch (rugby you dirty dirty dirty ewww disgusting people) didn’t help either. I actually nodded off for a while there. Time of crash. 11pm.

Soooo. Where was I. yes. What made my week completely teh awesome.

Impulse buying!!!! Yay. I’ve always wanted the DVD for Once Upon A Time In China Trilogy. Collector’s Edition. WOooOooOoo. 70 dollars later. I’m happy. Impulse buying. Is soooo gratifying. Except when it sinks it then. Damn. I couldn’t justify that. But I’ve always wanted a copy of the best kung fu movie ever. And I have it now. Okay. Maybe that wasn’t the reason behind the difference for the week. And got myself a new G-Shock watch as well. Seng Ming the bugger accused me of being childish.

Timothy: I got a new watch.
Timothy: I lost my old one
You’re a mushyme: oh
You’re a mushyme: wat watch
Timothy: ended up getting one of those bulky g shock ones
Timothy: : <
You're a mushyme: y u like gshock so much ler( I actually prefer plain casio ones man. I hate those dress watches. Only wear it out to formals man. Don’t wear them otherwise. I needed a plain watch)
You’re a mushyme: so kiddish(I smell some flirting here)
Timothy: Because i’m kiddish(I return the favor)
You’re a mushyme: no ure not.. the way u think oso not ur age
You’re a mushyme: i mean it in a good way (Seng Ming is trying to hit on me here.)
Timothy: I like being kiddish(I call his bluff. And drop the bait and pretend that I’m interested)

And more random conversation bits:

You’re a mushyme: have u seen pcis of my trip to redang? *insert link here*(Man. I definitely thing he has a thing for me… I’m worried now. Further down the conversation he’s still flirting)
Timothy: No I haven’t
Timothy: you didn’t post the pics on your blog
You’re a mushyme: haha i lazy to blog la
Timothy: I see no one hot
Timothy: Wait
Timothy: Maybe.
Timothy: Oh crap. laptop screen gloss. Reflection
Timothy: Just kidding (Here is me trying to be a jerk, to make him “uninterested”)
You’re a mushyme: ass

Note, no animals were hurt in this conversation nor were any fuzzy woodland creatures crushed by lumbering industrial tree cutters in the making of this pseudo parody of a conversation between friends. (Really. Just friends. I mean. He might want something more. But I don’t think I’d like to bat for the other team just yet) Ah and Seng Ming. This was just for shits and giggles. So don’t bite my head off when I get back to Malaysia man.

On another completely random note my Asics Kayano 12s; Completely fucked them over. The best pair of sneakers I’ve ever had. 6 months. 280 dollars. A great time together. Best support I’ve received from any pair of sneakers ever, the PHF was awesome, and the rolling over support was beautiful, light weight, and well aired. It actually made amplified the running experience to the level of a constant state of a high. In laymans terms. It was orgasm inducing.(I like running. Finding the time for it is hard now though) Time to move up to the Kayano 13. And another thing I just realized. The bastard shoe stores here mark the Kayano range up far too much. 280 dollars here. When I can get it from the states for about 140 usd. Which SHOULD only work up to 200 dollars here… mmm next pair has to come from the states.

And more random randomness to titillate and tantalize your senses.

Look sideways people. And yes I know my table is messy. Cool huh? A bit hard to play on a rotated screen though. CS source Playing at 1680*1050 native resolution.

And I do realize how long a post this is. But I’m not too sure when I’ll post again, so I figured a long one would make up for any absence that may occur in the immediate future.(I’m also procrastinating some mechanics study and operational amplifiers… the mechatronics discipline sucks balls)
Ooo.Ooo. And here’s some poetry. By Nancy Wood a brilliant poet and writer. Possibly one of my favorites.

You shall ask
What good are dead leaves?
And I will tell you
They nourish the sore earth.

You shall ask
What is the reason for winter?
And I will tell you
To bring about new leaves.

You shall ask
Why are the leaves so green?
And I will tell you
Because they are rich with life.

You shall ask
Why must summer end?
And I will tell you
So the leaves can die.

And that people is some brilliant writing - The circle of life theme. Now it’s time for my own half assed crappy attempt at something of my own which is just another random piece of work. I call it lady death. And it’s for a friend who lost someone dear.
