Now I'm FARKING PISSED.

Dear Nicholas

To our knowledge, a student majoring in ICM should not be able to select GEK1511. In your case, the reason you managed to take this module is because you are a first year student and you have not yet declared your major. Nonetheless, there is little cause for alarm. What the line about preclusions mean is that if you intend to major with a degree in ICM, you must not take GEK1511. This is because there is a module offered by the School of Computing, IT1001, that is similar to this module and is relevant to ICM. However, it does not mean that if you take ICM modules, you are not allowed to take GEK1511. Simply being registered for IF1101E does not mean that you are majoring in ICM. You will have to declare your intention to major in ICM and take the necessary modules as required by our programme before you are considered as majoring in ICM. So in your case, because you have not yet finalised your choice of major, you can take GEK1511, provided that you do not later intend to major in ICM, where the main consequence is that it will restrict your choice of modules. Because you took GEK1511, you are restricted from taking IT1001, which is a pre-requisite for some modules.

====

Great... now they tell me... that's damn unfair that they didn't state the damn preclusion early and hope that ICM students don't take this module... I'm damn disillusioned with the system already...

EU was ok... don't think i will do well though... but don't think I'll fail...

Last paper tmr.

Ramblings...

Sometimes it's better to stay in our comfort zones... but if we stay within our comfort zone, we will never know what's happening outside...

Sometimes it's better to take peoples' advice... but how would we know if we are able to do it if we don't even try?

Sometimes when we do something wrong... we would say "if only"... but what if we took the other path and also say the same thing about the other path? "If only"?

Life's just so freaking ironic... full of choices... what path to take?

====

Right... I shall start.

First. The screwups for my modules... when i registered for this module(GEM), there was no indication of a preclusion for it according to the main GEM webpage... so I happily took this GEM module which I think should be able to do well in because I had prior knowledge of the module... fine... to my horror, I read the module FAQ just about recently and realised that this GEM module is actually not allowed to be taken if i take ICM... and somehow, by a farked up twist of fate... i AM taking ICM... so now... what the #!@# should I do?! Emailed my GEM lecturer... she told me the module FAQ is the most updated... right... means the GEM webpage is not?! and when I first registered for the module, the only thing I could base my choice on was the damn GEM webpage... so now... if I'm not allowed to take this module... means I would have to take 6 next sem which is damn xiong considering other commitments as well: Sports Club MC work, Sports Camp 2005, Floorball IVP and League competitions... WELL DONE!

Also, this is lovely little module called European Studies... feeling quite guilty that I encouraged Ping to take it with me... and for first time History takers... it's really heavy... even a person who took history throughout sec school and jc would find it heavy... wah piang... really damn quilty for wasting Ping's time lah... fwack... maybe i should just keep my wise comments to myself... i talk too much...

I'm damn sian about studying for my last 2 modules already... these are the 2 that I fear most... and I was still pretty enthusiastic about studying because actually... i don't think i screwed up my first 3 papers THAT bad... there might be still a chance...

This year hasn't been good at all...

Made some choices I'm beginning to regret, had some feelings I wasn't supposed to have, tried to take on too much stuff WAY beyond my capabilities... what am I becoming? Suddenly I feel like I don't know myself anymore... Suddenly I'm this sick, cynical, selfish and nosey bastard... someone please give me a slap to wake me up.

It's time to reconsider certain priorities in life.

Mind Over Matter...

Slept only 4 hours just now... and considering it was before a Philo paper... geez... cannot make it sia...my head's still pretty heavy... think I shall go nap later... woke up at like 8 this morn... went for a cold shower(not that i wanted to... no hot water in school) and it jolted me awake sia... could see my fats wobbling as I was trembling... haahaa...

To the East and back

Short one before I go sleep... home's unusually quiet cos no one's around...

Went to Ann's bday party with Ling just now... too bad couldn't stay long... although managed to meet Alice and her bf before leaving... the food was damn good... crapped a bit with Ann's cousin Lionel for a bit... then left for Jenny and Janice's party at Bedok...

Poor Ling... maybe she'll think twice about going out with me again haahaa... but I swear... there's something about her that makes me wanna make fun of her =P after all... what are buddies for? =P

Reached Bedok and in time for the cake cutting thing... played bingo after everything... I think I suck at these luck games cos i got forfeited... had to eat food with 2 other peeps stacked by the winners... kaos... thousand island sauce+chilli+curry doesn't taste very good... damn...

Then took a damn long bus journey back... but it was nice of Ling to give me a call to ask if I was home when I should be the one doing it... Thanks buddy!

arGh (think I've used this title more than twice)

Still sorta doing my ICM... at a relatively slower pace now... guess 2 weeks of all out "trying to study" made me sorta burnt out... doesn't really help too that the Sharon is happily playing Diablo2 in clubroom now... geez... damn tempted to play!

Didn't sleep much last night... I seem to always wake up after 4 hours when I'm sleeping in the clubroom... ah well... first thing i did when i woke was to play my "chicken game" (as according to the Neh Ki)... stoned a while... then went for breakfast at Arts with Mummy... then went hm to get my ICM stuff... chatted with my mum for a bit... then back to sch to TRY to mug...

Geez... 18hrs left to my first paper... geez... HECK LAH!

New Theory: Left On The Shelf

Was eating at this jap restaurant with Seannie Poo and Puay Mummy just now and we formulated a new theory... well the 3 of us are single... and haahaa sorta left on the shelf... =P anyways... Sean said that Puay was machiam a handbag on a Hugo Boss shop shelf... and when we were thinking about what shelf Sean and I were on, I blurted out "Giant"... so well...

A further expansion of the theory was offered by Sean cos we realised that things on Giant's shelves fly off pretty fast... there was one section where the most expired stuff would still be there... the titbits section... those kind that you gotta scoop the stuff yourself... so we said that we were like muruku (indian titbit)... everytime we are beginning to see the light, the container gets refilled... cos yah... we're at the bottom... so we will never be taken off sia! =P

Well... that explains the case of the Forgotten Muruku =]

Honked at...

Was honked at by 2 drivers while cycling to school just now... and now I fully understand why many cyclists are killed on the roads every year... some drivers just treat us like dirt...

What's wrong with keeping left all the time? It's to allow you drivers to go past us cos we're slow...

Responsible cyclists wear white at night... to let you SEE us properly... not just honk at us when you attempt to zoom out of a carpark WITHOUT stopping at the stop line Mr SBU Toyoto Corona. Did you even bother to look left and right before coming out? And you still dare to drive beside me and give me a lecture and hold up traffic behind you...

There are 2 turn lanes for you to turn to your beloved AYE Miss Mercedes Driver... why the hell are you wearing sunglasses at night?! I was cycling in the second lane because the first lane is for left turn only... why couldn't you use that lane? There was absolutely no traffic behind you and instead of giving me the right of way cos I was already going straight, you accelerated and cut in front of me! Thanks so much.

Thanks for making my 15min cycling trip so eventful. Really appreciate it. REALLY REALLY appreciate it.

3 days left...

7am... watching the sun slowly rise... the birds flying in the air... clouds slowly drifting by... 2 kittens playing at the swimming pool...

Another sleepless night... been thinking a bit... realised I sorta screwed up my semester... and some things i could have prevented... tt's what makes it feel worse...

My new ambition? To be a taxi driver in Thailand... where I could contract AIDS from a dirty toilet seat and die lonely... haahaa

Nevertheless had a great crapping session earlier just now... been a while since tt many Neutrons met up already... think Aus went to sleep with a damn big grin on his face =P but kudos to his friend... who planned everything... wow...

happy nick? hmm... maybe, maybe not... but hope tt i will be...

Decided to change the name of the blog again... just think that Jue Qing Gu's damn cheesy... do I need to announce to the world that "yah, i like being in this self dug pit?"... haahaa... I've never been really jue qing anyway...

Back to my books... got a headache... but I guess the panic's keeping me going... at least for now...

Rain...

Hair's wet... walked a bit in the rain... not those kind that's nice and misty... but the big pelting kind...

Bro told me this line about maturity from his OB text... "it is the ability to control your feelings..."... hmm kinda true... although still not the full explanation of maturity... but yeah... it's part of the whole definition...

Feel kinda lethargic... stomach's been acting weird recently... geez...

Shall finish ICM by evening then start on EU already... damn.. hardly studied yesterday... went to run then came home to nua... watched Stephen Chow's Journey To The West... laughed like mad ('Po Luo Po Luo Mi!')... then did 1 reading then bonked out again... again can't seem to get a dreamless night...

Wanna make my specs soon... the scratches on my pair's getting pretty irritating... found the voucher from optic point... i remember i got a voucher from nanyang optical as well... hmm...

Is this the States? No?

Just woke up from a nap... hmm maybe not nap... my daily sleep... at like 7:30pm? More or less cos slept at 12pm... because I seem to work better at night...

Bro and Leongz came over to study last night... and well... haahaa... it turned out to be a catching up session as well... Managed to do a decent amount of work... so I don't really feel guilty about spending time talking about anything under the sun... on the contrary... it's even more fulfilling talking to friends rather than studying from a dead book...

Usual topics came out again... basketball, exams, life, girls... well... and for the first time in my 21 years... realised that there IS a gap between those who are UP there in social standing and my group of friends... well I'm not saying that every single person who's UP there is different... I've met exceptions...

And I guess it's nurture that makes us turn out the way we are... but sometimes we can't always blame things on the situation and the culture that we've been immersed it... we're thinking humans... we've got brains for a reason... If life hands you a lemon... make lemonade...

And I guess differences can really cause the death of romance... although being too similar has the same effect as well... but there has to be something that transcends differences... it may sound stupid... but no matter what... I still hold firm to one notion... that Love can conquer everything...

No one's right and no one's wrong... it's just the ways we've been brought up... it's just the friends we mix around with... it's just the worries that surround us... it's just these nitty gritty details that change us...

Suddenly I feel like I'm thrust into another period of time... there was once I thought I could comprehend things... things were easy to fathom... but it seems as we grow older... issues we never thought were existent just pop up...

I'm 21... doesn't seem too old... but I'm not a kid anymore... the stubble on my chin proves this point...

Is it really possible to have freedom in commitment? Is it really possible to find peace in chaos? Is it really possible to deny when you know you're falling?

There are certain trade-offs in life we have to make... there's just no way we can have everything...

No matter how much we want it...

Luna Sea - I For You (English Translation)

One of my favourite Luna Sea songs... and the lyrics are quite beautiful...

You know, they said I could never love anyone
but when I met you, so afraid,
I finally noticed what that meant.
If the only reason we met was to hurt one another,
it's such a shame.
I want to tell you from my heart
All I really want, is to know who you really are.

You still laugh awkwardly
because sadness still suits you better.
If I was born just to meet you,
I wonder if I can change that.

I want to tell you from my heart
We may have hurt one another too much but,
there's still time.
I love you with all my heart
I want to wipe away the pain that befalls you
all... I for You.

I want to tell you from my heart
I always want to see you smiling.
I love you with all my heart
I want to gather the light raining upon you
All, I for You.

Disturbing...

An "evening-mare"... sheesh.. my mind is working OT...

Dreamt that I was at some tourist attraction near some HDB flats... and geez... the winds were damn strong and the rain was pelting down... the HDB flats were damn tall those kind... around like 30 storeys? And all i remember now is that I heard people screaming but i din know what was happening... there was a large crowd in an open space near that block... and then suddenly I saw it...

The winds were blowing the block so hard... the block resembled the leaning tower of Pisa... people were running out of the block and then suddenly... the mid section of the block cracked... and the building came tumbling down... (WTF?!)

On impulse... I ran towards the debris to try to fish out survivors... found a few... and geez... overheard people's conversations about the collapse as well... Heard references to Nicoll Highway and Hotel New World... sheesh...

Quite amazed by the kinda dreams my sub-conscious mind can come up with... kinda disturbing though...

I guess I really just wanted to talk to you.
And I was thinking maybe later on,
We could get together for a while.
It's been such a long time,
And I really do miss your smile.

I'm not talking 'bout moving in,
And I don't want to change your life.
But there's a warm wind blowing,
The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight.

We could go walking through a windy park,
Or take a drive along the beach.
Or stay at home and watch t.v.
You see, it really doesn't matter much to me.

I'm not talking 'bout moving in,
And I don't want to change your life.
But there's a warm wind blowing,
The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight.

I won't ask for promises,
So you won't have to lie.
We've both played that game before,
Say I love you, then say goodbye.

I'm not talking 'bout moving in,
And I don't want to change your life.
But there's a warm wind blowing,
The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight.

Went down to NTU later in the day to meet Bro and Leongz... hmm... and the sky not vv gum with me... it only started raining when I got to NTU at arnd 5... kaos... but we played in the slight drizzle anyway... until some irritating chinese peeps from where else came along... haiz... left slightly early... went to makan... then i trudged back to NUS again =P

Went for an 8km run again... that makes my running milage around 20km this week plus a training and a 12km walk... hmm... powerful... slightly aching now... but shiok... quite tired now... but gian to makan bit of supper before I retire for the night...

Got a friendly against the girls' team later... geez... wonder if I can wake up... zzZzzZzz... tired... but it's not often I get to enjoy "hall life" (i.e. supper at wierd times)... i shall prevail!

To the NTU peeps... Bro, Leongz, Jenn, Mel... all the best for your exams!

Nick shall concuss again soon... as usual =P

[ Nick @ 11:00 PM ]__________________________________________________ 0 Islanders visited

Ahhh =]

Just woke up... well... didn't sleep that early... maybe around 8am... and it's kinda impossible to get a good sleep in school... especially when your mattress is a judo mat =P well... this eediot here... still comes back to school even when it's not needed... a way to fill up my empty life? haahaa... maybe ba... but i just like the liberating feeling that staying in school has... late night suppers, chats till wee hours in the morning...doing crazy stuff like standing outside the LT and deciding whether to go Orchard or not... or just meeting at 7am in the morning to have breakfast because none of us haven't slept yet... like now... i'm having koko krunch for lunch sitting in front of my clubrm's comp blogging... life doesn't get better than this =]

Had a chat with Sharon last night till both of us concussed... and we talked about our pasts... the kind of people we hoped to meet =P been having chats with peeps a lot recently... with Bro on Sunday night, Ms Sim on Mon then Sharon last night... more or less I've come to a decision... i've gotta stop living in the shadow i created for myself... i'm now not just going to move on... i'm going to speed off... it's time i brought some sunshine back into my life... it's time that i stopped living in self-pity and delusion. Fine... i can do that... cutting off all the hopes i held on to... i shall talk about you less, actually... i will try not to talk about you at all... Ling and Ms Sim are right... how am i supposed to forget you when i still talk about you so much?

That's it... it's time to make new memories for myself... rather than live in the past... maybe i've forgotten how it is to make new memories already... but well... for my sake i'll do it... i think i deserve it... i'll just wait for my Tian Yi to come along haahaa =P

I'm over you. Finally.

To slack or to work?

Deciding between watching Chicken Rice War and finishing up my GEM Assignment due Friday... hmmm...

[ Nick @ 1:37 PM ]__________________________________________________ 0 Islanders visited

shIOK!

Didn't manage to wake up at 4am... well... woke up a tad later... at 6am... caught the first bus to school and geez... for the first time in my uni life... for no special occasion (hmm presentation only leh)... i wore jeans to school sia... haahaa... tt's very rare... cos to date i have only worn jeans to school on 2 occasions before today =P once for an occasion i forgot and once for AGM... muahaha... slack sia!

Anyways had a ok presentation.. didn't have much to say... heck lah!

After which met Ms Sim for lunch and we promptly decided on a "keep trim" regime... cos she accuses me of feeding her too much, so I gotta accompany her to lose weight... ok lah... don't mind =P

Hmm... so we decided to run 30 rounds round the track just now... but the guy up there had other plans ah... keep raining and raining and raining... wanted a tan by running in the afternoon sun... damn! however we still managed to run... but well... 30 is a bit the mad when the two people involved were suffering from lack of sleep =P managed to do 20 rounds though...

Plus the HK noodles we had for dinner... now I'm feeling woozy... shall catch a wink... ran back to SRC to catch the last 96... miss my bed =]

Orr orr loh!
