Mid sem broke, and bingo weak

So it's 123o pm, and I have a test in about 48 hours. I also have a tutorial due in 12. havent prepared for either. And here I am, blogging and listening to Altamont SuperHighway revisited by Apollo ChaarSauChalis (440 for you losers who cant count in hindi).

Holy Shii'iiite.

It's been a really fun last two weeks. (word!). There's been the beach, the airshow, the archery stuff, the src drunken night, the boat quay even-more-drunken night, the oasis concert, jarhead, the new electric guitar.
The NEW ELECTRIC GUITAR.
woohoooo!! ibanez, jet black, and a bunch of shiny knobs. halen, here i come.



Then there was also Bingo weak. Oh, week. Well, the former is more politically correct :p. But that was so long ago that I've quite forgotten.

And, oh.. I also got my laptop back. yay! And life is good again.
And I'm also going back home for summer. yay!

yeah yeah yeah .
tarang was good. the ntu singer was pretty good, and pretty good.
oh and pop tarts are neat. they are a bit on the expensive side though.
now we're getting trivial aren't we? while we're at it... I need to figure out some way of cleaning my water bottles so that they don't smell strange and stale.

life is good. in general. you know... the i'm-glad-to-be-alive-thing.

but... and here it comes: i gotta study.

Week three

Week three.Thats when they begin. Tutorials. And life is never the same again. Well, at least for a few weeks.

Also, its mad season again. Internship time. I'm drafting my cv right now; and will probably have applied to my first batch of companies by the end of this week. It's been a really busy week, even though I haven't been doing a terrible amount of work. I'll lagging terribly in my academic classes. The plan is to catch up over this CNY break. Gong Ci Fa Cai to all you lunar new year celebrators. Archery tomorrow morning at 8 if I can wake up.

I wonder.. don't weblogs get boring when they are filled with mundane things-i-did-today posts. And that's how this blog has been getting lately.

Next Wednesday I will be going down to see this public speech being delivered by our very own, APJ Abdul Kalam. Should be something.

Note to self: Priority one is academics. Always. That's something I've been ignoring in college I think. Not acoustica, archery, sport, marketing. Remember.

grandee signing off.

The clock

Our internal clock, the bod-dee clock , is a wonderful, terrible thing. When set correctly, it allows the setter to rise at a reasonable time, and remain fresh and boppy throughout the day. On the other hand, a clock that's out of whack... well that's a rather different story. And yes, my bc is out of whack. And yes, I'm out of whack.

Sleeping at 3 (early) and waking up at 1(pm)... missing lectures, or attending them in a really zombified state. I missed archery training this morning.. bleah. Waking up late can be fun, but in the long run, it's just painful; you wake up and half the day is gone. You also feel lazy and sleepy throughout the day. I set my alarm(S) for around 7 or 8 am every morning... but no alarm can rouse me.. really.

Ah well.

Apart from that, its been a good week for everything except acad I think. Been feeling good all week for no particular reason. Archery is much better. Guitar is fine. Club work is pretty great, and I guess I really like being in charge.

Now I need to turn my life around. The target: to have a regularish body clock by CNY, and not miss any more lectures.

New Year!

Holy Cow Batman!
Its the new year! OMG! Thats..like... so totally awesome..totally! WORD!

This is my first post after an interim of almost half a year! Wheee!
A lot has happened.. but wheeeee.. who cares? It's the new year. Wheeee!

So I'm in a quandary. A dilemma. A something. I can't figure out for the love of me whether I want to keep updating this blog. A part of me wants to just forget about it, and this other part of me... (I think it's my pancreas) wants me to push on and never give up and keep striving and push my faculties of body and mind furthter (farther?) than any man and attain a new level of nirvana.... pish-posh... and basically post regularly.

It's like the Hamlet super-debate/soliloquy. "To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows.." and so on.

Bee- Aai- Enn - Gee- Oh , and Bingo was his name-o.

Rocking on

Yes.. guitar classes are definitely getting better. I can actually play music people can recognise now. Can play the intro of Creed's With arms wide open. Tis a nice song... and it's the first one I can play while hybrid picking; that's using fingers as well as the pick. Archery isn't moving much.. tennis is better.
Acad. is well... pretty much... I dunno. Finished my one and only midterm, economics. I guess I like being a soph. My mods are pretty cool. My room, however, is not what I would call optimally located:P.
Saw the doooks of hazard. An enjoyable movie I guess. Haven't been seeing a lot of friends or going out actually. I guess the workload is pretty heavy.. but its not something you can feel directly.
I use blog entries as a diversion.. from my books :p.
gotta hit bi polar junction transistors for a while then.
time keeps on slippin'... slippin'... into the fyoooture.
rock on.

QC for blog

Hmm.. I was just looking over some of my 'recent' (that IS a relative term) posts, and realised that in my search for something pseudo-pyschological-philosohical, I've come up with exactly that .. B.S.
So.. I've figured I'll be blogging more about me in general, than BS in general.
Op amps, op amps... where were you when we were getting high.. in a champagne supernova in the sky.
bleargh.. there you go.. a glimpse of my madness.
Anyway, I'm going to watch the motorcycle diaries in Lecture theatre 12 tomorrow (now there's something you don't hear often) :P. And.......its free! wheee!
peace out

Only Time

You know, we often complain about how little time we have to do this and that (or to not be able to do this and that). Time is relative (i know, i know...). No, seriously, I've figured that the more stuff you do, the more your day expands... and the more you are able to do. That applies to things like modules in college, that wacky hobby, or just wasting time for that matter. You do less, and your day contracts. There is one catch; you can complain that you are short of time no matter how efficiently you do manage time. Sorta.
Anywho; remember Dunbar in Catch-22? He filled his days with boredom, because it elongated his life. In his opinion, if youre having fun, time flies, and you die early. Now I'm not saying that YOU should get as bored as you possibly can, but something more to the effect of 'filling the unforgiven minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run'.
time is moolah.

Men and islands

"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
- John Donne.
Every man is an island. We are born alone, and we die alone.
Conflicting views. What's your take?

The other day, I was reading some messages on my phone, and I realized that the English 'language' is going to the horses. In the quest for that oh-so-elusive coolness, slang (especially messaging slang) is becoming, well, stranger and stranger. Examples?

Well you get the picture. So after having spoken English for eons, it does seem akward when you text someone back: 'I'm sorry, I didn't quite get you.'
In conclusion, git a Lyf, losaz :P

Blogup

Jeez... I can't believe I succumbed to this newage Dear Diary b.s. I mean.. captain's logs are ok (yeah star trek WAS kinda cool... and i AM kinda a nerd); but a blog .. hmm. Well lets see how this turns out. Right now i just want to see if this post sticks, so I'm ending here.
