All the world
A post before i leave in the morning. Had a tough time getting out of bed today. I woke up and i was quite bored, so i decided to surf around and really, i didn't know what to do. So here i am posting. I've been thinking about my friends this morning, and i realise i miss my secondary school days. I bet all the guys are in NS now, and here i am slogging with life and coping with work.
I think all the world is dreaming.
I don't know who still reads my blog anyway.
But for you, my loyal readers, i will post.

Anyway, submissions are tomorrow, and i have to finish it now.
P.S : Those who keep up with the world cup, i'm supporting england. No reason why, i just like their players. And Brazil is a given. ^^

Screwdriver
So i recently got a Macbook Pro, and it's already a little grumpy. Must be because it know's i destroyed one of its ancestors.
I spent the weekend trying to reinstall OS X, failing each time. I was wondering what was the problem, because i didn't do anything drastic to it. Then this morning, i woke up, went down, bought a pack of tiny screwdrivers, unscrewed the ram slot, took out the 1gb of ram that i bought for it, and it worked fine.
It was because of a third party item that made my ram wonky. Go figure.
But other than that i <3 my laptop.
Oh ya, check out Xiaohui's blog if u need new music to listen to. The song rocks balls.
1 year coming...

OMG MTV!!!!!!!!!!!111!!! #4 - "Snow Patrol - Hands Open"
Another week, another MTV. After scouting around the deep darkness of youtube, i found this video of a new song from Snow Patrol's new album "Eyes Open". I really like their music, i feel its quite unique and has very much an indie feel to it. Kinda like weezer. Enjoy.
Snow Patrol - Hands Open

I'm Standing Here
Long reflective post.
Admist all the chaos and confusion, a new semester begins, officially.
Been chilling out most of the day, enjoying my last sips of freedom, awaiting the painful truth that is foreboding. The next 5 months is going to be quite simply put, amazing. I guess if i were to bring back one thing from SIP, just one thing alone, would be that being able to enjoy what you were doing was the key to success. I'm sure many would nod their heads slowly in a similar fashion if i say that if we don't appreciate or like what we are doing, why we are staying up late nights burning the midnight oil or struggling so hard in school in doing so, is that we are doing what we like, and showing the rest of the world what we can offer in the process. We may not be accountants or businessmen, we may not be politicians or salesmen, but we are damn passionate about what we do and we do it well. It doesn't matter who says whether or not we can do what we want to do, whether which school or polytechnic has more facilities or ability, but its about the passion.
Block teaching was thought up by Moses because he felt that we were often staying up late nights trying to complete projects, and thus he tried to help us by easing the process in which we go through our daily school routine. Thanks, but i'm sorry, you'll see most of us staying up late at night once again. Not because we hate block teaching, most of us are curious about what it can offer, but alot of us stay up because WE WANT to. It is this same reason and drive that can get us far in what we are doing.
There are a million ways to achieve something, but each of us are doing our way, weaving our own unique thread to the door at the very end of the path.
Wah, so many big words, so philosophical sia.
I got kinda cheesed that i have to wake up at 7 every morning to get to school by 9 for my first block this semester, AND i have to sit through 4 hours of web based pleasure for InMa 2 every day for the next 4 weeks.
I'm thinking of working on a new site that will contain my portfolio. I don't have much to show still, but re designing another permanent layout for my portfolio would be nice. I got partly influenced to do it after looking at Justin's new layout. Go check out his new layout, its not bad.
My parents returned home from their trip to batam today, apparently they met up with alot of problems to and fro, luggage went missing, they had to deal with indonesian mafia etc...
No i'm not kidding abt the last sentence, it was true. Well, according to my younger sister anyway.
That's all i have in my head now, going to go play o2jam with xh now.
I have this feeling it's going to feel like the first day of school all over again.
Silly abel.

Start The Machine
Argh, havent posted in 5 days. Lazy :p
School has started! But i bet half of us are still in the "SIP" mood and don't wish school to start. We'll settle in soon enough though. I envy those with 1 month breaks, because i don't have anyway. I have 21 weeks of non stop school. But i do have my Monday's free so its a consolation.
My parent's are out for the long weekend so i have the house all to myself. It's quite weird listening to the dead silence as i type on the keyboard. It's freaky almost. Usually at this time i'll hear the quiet hum of the fans of the other rooms and the almost soft whir of the television in the living room. Now theres just... air.
Angels and Airwaves album got leaked! I downloaded it first thing on thursday and i think its..... meh. I think its abit over hyped, and its just so so only. Good job on the guitar riffs and the unique sound though, but i think its anything but punk.
Downloaded Adobe premier and after effects too. Going to try my hand at cutting some MTV's or something. Will post the results. Haha.
And yes, school hasn't started, but im excited.
(Oh and i'm getting the macbook, as well as 1230192310 in school. Alot of people getting. That is, if UOB does not fail me and reject my giro application. If it does... T_T)

OMG MTV!!!!!!!!!!!111!!! #3
Haven't posted one in a while. I'm absolutely in love with Artic Monkeys lately, some might say they are overhyped but i think their songs have infectious lyrics and riffs. I particularly like this song's chorus. The mtv is also quite interesting, although abit weird. But hey, weird is good right?Artic Monkeys - When the sun goes down

Apple releases 17" MacBook Pro
Just after i posted the previous post, they released a 17 Inch version. The sarcasm ensues.Click Here
The new 17 Inch costs $5000 SGD and you probably have to be really insane or filthy rich to get it. It brings back firewire 800 to the macbook pro, as well as an (1680x 1050)insanely high res lcd screen (), 3 usb ports, 1gb of ram and 120gb hard disk.
Damn.
We are now approaching.... Monkey land.
(this post was supposed to be posted yesterday but blogger wasn't working the whole night)
First day of school was quite hectic, and i was not prepared for it at all. I haven't prepared my timetable at all and i had to do it last minute.
And then there was some scary confusion last night that we have to hand in the log books and the reports on monday. *AHEM*chris*AHEM* Luckily Jeff told me that we can hand in anytime tomorrow.
I also realised that i lacked 3 more Cu's in order to clear my diploma elective's. I got broadcast design today (i took the last slot but others may still get it if someone drops it) and i changed my COMDA class to T06 (desmond's class). I didn't drop anything, going to cheong this semester and try to clear all my electives so that i have a pretty empty semester 6.
This is going to be one exciting semester.
In case you didnt know already, i dropped my powerbook.
I'll wait 5 minutes for you to gasp in silence at my stupidity.
Back? I'm not going to tell you a grandfather story, just that someone knocked over my powerbook while i'm on the escalator while i was on it and ran away. I didn't even get a chance to stop the guy.
So now i'm left with a spoilt powerbook with no warranty. Yay. Chris was the first to tell me that the school was having some crazy hire purchase plan for the macbook pro, and i'm considering getting one to replace my spoilt notebook. I'm suay i guess.
A bunch of us made badges during school today too. Si yuan brought the machine over and we made alot of badges and brought a few home too. We were like mad raving paper craving madmen, tearing pages out of anything that can be teared and whomping them into the badge making machine. I'm lazy to take photos but they're nice.
Back to SIP report.

Oei! UPDATE La!
Fine. Haha. Sorry for being away for so long. After the long weekend (spent eating lots of snacks and terraforming into an actual potato) i had to go back to the office to do alot of work. I'm right now in the process of cleaning up elipva's home page redesign done by the previous designer and its not an easy task.
Can't wait to get back to normal life. School that is. I hope block teaching isn't that bad. I'm not looking forward to it, but im intruiged by it, nontheless. I hope it doesn't screw us up in terms of time management.
Going clubbing on friday. It's going to be my second time stepping into a club.
Ok, back to work, no time for a <br>. Hehe.

OMG MTV!!!!!!!!!!!111!!! #2
Mama... here is another MTV.... Mama... ooooo.... Mama, please watch it and comment.... Mama....Ok enough joking around. (if you don't get it go watch the mtv) Here is another one, an old one, but its a classic, when it came out it was queen's #1 song. Some say its the song of the millenium. I don't know, i just think the MTV is funny. Song is good though. Is this where Mew got their album cover inspiration from?

OMG MTV!!!!!!!!!!!111!!! #1
Since we're on the mood for posting MTV's, here is another one. I'll occasionally post mtv's every once in a while which i think are nice or just plain weird. Everyone likes MTV's Right? If you got any suggestions, post in the comments of the post... i don't wanna clutter up the tagboard too much.It has dead deer, rubber duckies, and explosions morphing into ballerina's, of course you would like it. :) Enjoy. Thanks Glenn for suggesting this fatty tumour. -_-||

Sniffles
I think i'm going to fall sick.
The weather has been horrible the past few days, i always wake up sniffling and cold, and because i have a habit of showering before i go out everyday, i end up having a slight cold that lasts up until late afternoon, sometimes for the whole day. I think it can be classified under a sinus condition. It's always been like that since i was young, and bad weather only makes it worse. Headaches, stomach-ache's, joint pains, damn i sound like an old person.
Rain is nice, but not when it makes me sneeze like a fuckhead T_T.
There was no blog yesterday because i was exercising my right to be lazy. And that right also allows me to procrastinate, but i shall refrain from doing that here today. :).
I've been listening and looping to a few songs over the past few days, listening to alot of Artic Monkey's songs. Going to find more music to download over the weekend, i'll post if i find anything nice. I also found this thing that is basically Last FM (a service that allows you to install a plugin into your itunes so that you automatically can have a listing of all your songs and charts, and the music you listen to the most, etc.) and makes it a HTML button or chart or graphic. I'm thinking of adding something like that to my sidebar, so i'm going to take a look at it later tonight.
Leaving elipva in 10 days.

Smokemachine
Went for qing ming today with my parents. It was quite a morning, had to endure a few hours of screaming hot sun and heavy smoke to pay our respects to my grandparents and my grand uncle. But being there made me realise how much our traditions are dying. There seems to be lesser and lesser people there nowadays.
I took a few photos, will post them up later if i have the time. Watching Man U vs Arsenal now with my dad. Haven't watched soccer in awhile...
