Prata, Coffee and the Morning Papers please...

Ahh!! How nice it is to have a few pratas and a cup of coffee while reading the newspaper in the morning... This is life man.. Sipping that hot coffee and reading what is making the headlines in the world today... This was what I did yesterday morning.. Life should be like this!!!
Sadly, it was not to be and that moment didn't last forever... Few hours later, I'm at a different place, still drinking coffee though albeit an ice blended one... Other than that, instead of newspapers which I do not need to really think much and just merely browsing through, the reading material now is my notes and academic papers which I have to read thoroughly, conceptualizing them and try to remember the important points... To make matters worse, there's not even any prata!!! Kekeke....
Guess everyone wishes to live the good life... However, there's a theory saying that we have to work hard for it... My question is: How hard do I have to work and for how long??? As I sat at Coffee Bean trying to digest everything fast as there's more waiting for me to read up, I began to look around me.. Damn!!! Almost everyone else is having a good time there hanging out and just chilling with either their friends or family... Me?? All there alone trying to figure out in what ways are the three 'posts' (Postmodernism, poststructuralism and postcolonialism) in Geographical thought similar and different... Guess I could only do this at the moment... SIGHZZZ....
Time for me to stop fretting and carry on for today... To all those having their exams, all the best dudes and babes... May the force be with ya!!! Maybe one day, I could enjoy having prata, coffee and reading the morning papers peacefully....

Double Infecions!!

Imagine trying to study when your eyes keep tearing... It's damn difficult man.. I woke up this morning feeling a sharp pain in my left eye.. Like as if someone has just punched me... Look at the mirror, nothing there to hint to me of what the doctor had diagnosed later in the evening.. The only thing I saw was just two big, black eyebacks below my eyes... So I just proceed on with the intention of going to school to study....
In school, the situation seems to get worse lah... Tears keep flowing.. Once, I went to the toilet to wash my eyes and three girls who happened to walk past me stared at me... They probably thought why this guy was crying.. Hahaha... Anyway, it was only after lunch when I realized that my left eye started to swell... Shit man... I am sure that it must be due to the contact lens which I wore yesterday... At 5+, I admitted defeat (I always believe in self-curing myself and not consult any doctors...) I decided to go and see a doctor... :(
Luckily the queue was damn short at the clinic... When it was my turn, I was shocked the doctor can still asked me what is the matter.. Is he blind?? Can't he see that my eye is swelling up?? He then went on to proceed and check my eyes.. His next reaction was really shocking... How can a doctor say, "Eeeee!!!"??? He found a pimple under my eyelid in my left eye... Kanina!!! Where's your sense of professionalism?? (Though I do admit that it's not a pleasant sight lah) He then told me the pain in my left eye is caused by both the pimple as well as congitivitis... Kaoz!!!! Double infections sia!!!
Hope the eye get cured soon... It's really damn painful trying to study when you could hardly open your left eye... In a way, studying with just my right eye is like me practising what I am reading coincidentally.. I seem to practice the philosophical understanding of phenomenology, bracketing out to get into the essence of things... Haha..

Allegiance or Outwit, Outplay and Outlast

It's been a long time since I last catch Survivor, that reality hit series.. I used to be a big fan but now I just don't have the time to do it... However, recently I began watching the new season in Cook Island..
Now why the heck am I talking about Survivor all of the sudden.. Well, don't you think sometimes, life is just like playing that game??? That's exactly how I feel now man.. It's like playing with 49 other contestants... Huh???!! Ok, let me elaborate.. The class have to submit a posting on a question set by the lecturer.. Having gone through one semester of shit, guess we all are tired... This posting is worth 2.5% by the way... Anyway, some of the members, including me, have decided to make a pact not to submit this last round of posting... We decided to do it (or more like not to do it) as a class... Great alliances ah?? Well, not really...
There's this feeling inside of me to break that allegiance.. Haha.. I know some of you might be saying that I'm a bastard... But then again, I couldn't help not trusting many of the class members in staying true to their words... It's impossible for all 50 of us not to break this alliance and start posting (already as I'm typing, there's one entry already... Of course, from the top dawk of the class lah)...
I know I might sound anal trying to make something so trivial sounds so big.. Hahaha.. But in NUS, sometimes, it's really a matter of outwitting, outplaying and outlasting others... On the other hand, sometimes sticking through with your friends matters too..
(P.s. Who says everyone in the class is my friend?? Hehehe...)

Back... I think??

Alright, I know I haven't been blogging for a fucking long time... Many reasons.... My stupid tag-board needs authentication and I forgot my password.. Haha.. Other than that, been heavily dragged down with tonnes of assignments...
Anyway, ever since the last time that I've updated, so much have changed.. I'm officially not a biker anymore.. Haha.. Gave my bike to my uncle.. So, I'm fully a public transport guy from now on.. Sighz... My sis told me that my blog url need to be changed becoz of that.. Well, not necessarily.. The blue phantom still lives on in my mind.. Hahaha.. Crap!!
What makes me blog again?? Well, suddenly feels like it lah... On a different issue, I have been thinking about my future.. Been talking to many people.. I guess now the path is to graduate next year, go to teaching then perhaps do my masters(coursework) once I'm quite stable in my job.. That's probably in 5-6 years time... I'm also of thinking of doing my masters not in Geography.. Think I need a change in focus... Went to attend a seminar in Southeast Asia department just now.. The department looks damn interesting... Who knows, maybe I'll apply to do my masters in Southeast Asian studies.. But that's in the future... Along the way, there'll be loads of re-orientation of my future.. Anyway, it feels good to be back writing... Yeah!!!
P.s.: You all can't tag anymore.. Hahahaha.. Of course u all can leave a comment if you want to... :)
