Sms-ing
This is a wonderous invention. I agree. However ppl, when you sms ppl and are not using your phone, please identify yourself.. and please indicate if I'm supposed to reply to ur phone or the phone u are msging from.. cause I don't want to get weird calls from numbers I don't recognise AFTER I msg...

Plot for the ultimate B-grade action flick!
Ok this came to me in a dream a few nights ago (my nights have been dream infested these few nights... affects my quality of sleep). Basically the premise of the movie is this. A bunch of people (assorted, usual rag tag team of ppl that appear in b-grade action/horror flicks) all looking for the fountain of youth. There's this myth that in this jungle there's a temple. In the temple lies the secret to eternal life. The temple shall be in some far flung place like africa or south america. Doesn't really matter at this point in time. Anyway they have a guide and stuff, along the way they meet stuff like snakes and stuff that well.. takes out some ppl maybe.. then they find the temple. In the temple, they unlock a crypt which wakes up a whole room of sleeping.. get this.. VAMPIRES!! That's the link to eternal life .... Anyway much slaughtering ensues.. and the survivors start running out as the temple's gates start closing.. they run out in the open with the sun (anyway the vamps are running after them).. then out of the blue (ok this is the part of the dream I don't get).. everything starts slowing down to a crawl then A bunch of soldiers come out and start spraying bullets.. Ultimate B Grade action flick!!!

Head in the game, Eye on the ball..
Look at the date. 26th. It's almost back to school time again. This would probably be my last holidays until I graduate. Then its working world. Kinda depressing and all, but its been a good holiday. I've seen and done more stuff this hols than I've done in previous hols and for that I'm grateful. Final year student..woo hoo..Was asked by one potential supervisor on saturday if I was considering post graduate studies.. haha.. What a funny qns.. its funny because its not so much if I would be considering (got more hols leh..) but rather if the school will take me (kaoz.. your grades like that want to post grad... you siao bo.. )..hahaha.. Anyway, all that aside, must get into the studying frame of mind again as the title says. Cannot afford to be distracted this academic year. It's make or break time.

RRRReeejected!!!!
What a sad topic for the 500th post.. sigh.. Just got e-mail from my would-be supervisor. She can't take me for the project cause she doesn't have enough materials for 2 students. Don't really blame her for this. Is this maturity ? Or just a person who is tired of fighting? Oh well.. guess I'll have to take what's behind door number 3. This probably means I have to go down to school again tomorrow.. oh wretched days...

Funny Stories
Since everyone wants to know the funny stuff that went on in China, here's some of the things that happened. Not all.. some.. well just can't be said..
Bridge related funny stories:
This can be considered as the team game for the trip since any free time we had was spent playing this game. One of the funniest stories was when Elaine finally dethroned Johnny as person who doesn't know how to call partner. She bidded 3 diamonds and cross bidded (called another suite) the ace of clubs when she didn't have the ace, king and queen of diamonds. No longer is screwing up the bid called doing "a johnny".. it is now called "elaine"
Another funny story is when John screwed up every single game he played one afternoon. He trumped his partners ace when he KNEW who his partner was.. And after saying that he would not do something like that again, he proceeded to do something like that again in the next round..
Sleeping arrangement related funny stories:
As decided before the trip, Johnny and I shared 1 room while John, Paul and Daryl took the other room. On a side note, John and Paul are now collectively known as "The Pope". So basically their room was called the Pope's room. Then they joined the 2 beds together so all 3 could sleep on it. After the first night's sleep, Paul made a disturbiing remark.. which I shall not repeat here.. haha.. Then when we helped them push the beds back to the original position, we found a ... condom.. under the bed.. Everyone was stunned.. hahaha.. Later the 3 of them were collectively called the 3 Tenors and The Deviants. This will be explained below.
Shocking/stunning remarks:
I walked into the Pope's room and heard John saying this to Daryl. "I love you Daryl".. eh.. yes.. I proceeded to walk out and back to my room after that.. hahaha..
Then during a bridge game, while Charmaine was scolding Johnny, she said and I quote "I am johnny kuku".. hahahaa.. oh my..

I've got 2 words for you NUS, UP YOURS!
Just got home from running errands which are mainly posting the letters Uncle Lai Yong passed to us in China and settling my NUS FYP. First off I would like to say, NUS admin sucks. I e-mailed the lady that I would be away from the 10th to the 19th of July and wouldn't be able to settle the issue till I got back and she said ok via e-mail. Then when I go there she says how come I come so late, tomorrow is the deadline.. Well I'm sorry mdm.. I was away.. in China. As I said in my e-mail..
And you know that stupid rule where you can't cross the counter to see people. Well it sucks. How am I supposed to talk to the dumb lady if she doesn't want to come over. She asks me what is my name from so far, barely audible, then when I say it she can't hear me.. what she want me to do ? Shout? Sheesh.. and still have the cheek to tell her friend that I'm sibeh blur.. well lady.. UP YOURS!
Anyway have to call my prof again later, he was out at lunch and then need to drive down to school again to settle. Piss off NUS.. I WILL ONE DAY DESTROY THE SCHOOL!

Blowing the dust off...
I'm back! Yay.. and maybe no yay.. haha.. Trip was good. Too much to type. To find out more, ask me. But it was good. I'll just talk abit abt the stuff I'll miss.. Firstly the food.. the food was good. I mean they don't hold back on the 3 Big. Msg, Salt and Oil. And the food was cheap (when converted back to our currency). How often can you feed a group of 12 people on slightly less than 14 dollars? And by feed I mean, 3 dishes of meat, 3 veg and 1 soup. All you can eat rice too. Man, it was like an eating binge. 5 bowls of rice!!! hahaahah.. ah..
I'll miss the nice cool weather. It's like perpetual air con. I'll miss the crazy conversations we had there. Here's a hint: Paul has a gaydar.. and he makes highly inappropriate statements.. hahaha..
The cheap stuff. Now people who know me and/or read this blog will know I hate shopping. But man, the things were cheap there. I just bought a brand new Ibanez bass for 140 singapore dollars!! How's that for a steal. I would have bought more if I had more local currency. They didn't accept credit cards. And the fishes are cheap there. I mean the silver arowannas were 13 sing dollars before bargaining!!! argh.. If I had my way, I would have come back with 2 basses, 1 amplifier and loads of aros and gars...

Blogging drought...
Well not so much nothing to say but rather too much to say.. Also dunno how to say. So end up nothing to say.. hahaha.. It's been a busy week. Lots happening, part of the build up to the China trip. Physically am quite ready I think.. mentally also can lah.. been in the zone already. All set to go. Got some other things nagging at the back of my head.. but not trip related, so I'm guessing they can wait.. We all have to pay the piper, but guess the piper has to wait a while longer..
Anyway added veggiesaur's blog on the links for those that are interested and those who didn't catch it the last time she hijacked my comments box to promote her side.. such blatant disregard.. this one and june ah.. tsk tsk tsk.. Hoping to add the links of at least 2 more blogs after getting approval from their owners.

Subway Olympics
Ladies and Gents, I present to you a new competition for the new year.. SUBWAY OLYMPICS! To take advantage of the recent Olympic fever, I came up with this crazy idea.. haha..
First event:
What is the least number of bites it takes to finish 1 foot long subway sandwich?
Second event:
How high can you build up a subway sandwich? And still be able to hold it between 2 slices of bread
Third and main event:
Eating royal rumble. 30 man go in, 1 man loses. Loser pays all. Basically everybody eats as many subway subs as they can. Person who eats the least, pays the bill for all the sandwiches eaten. There is a 2 hour time limit.
Let the games begin :D
