its 4.15am..... one hour ago i was sleeping comfortably in my bed. so why am i up typing this now? ahem....
like i said....sleeping comfortably in my bed.... and then, LOUD in my ear "WEEE-OOOO-WEEE-OOO....THIS IS A FIRE ALARM. REMAIN CALM AND AWAIT INSTRUCTIONS".... and then a minute later..... "PROCEED WITH EVACUATION. PROCEED WITH EVACUATION"....
i was like wtf........i check my watch and see the time, then i'm REALLY like WTF!!!!!
gotta be a drill.....please let it be a drill.....i want to sleep.....
so i look out the window and see cops and fire engines lining the streets. oh shit.....looks like maybe it aint a drill...... so i get my keys n jacket n head out the door.
now comes the REALLY annoying bit. during fires, the lifts automatically shut down..... and i live on the 39th floor!!!!!!!!!!! D'OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i never thought climbing DOWN stairs could be tiring, but tonight changed my perception on that.....
so i go down the stairs.....down down down down down.....till the 5th floor. then someone from downstairs shouts. "its just a drill!"
WHAT!?!?!? THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyways, long story short, i waited for 45mins downstairs cos the elevators were packed with residents wanting to go back up.
finally im in my room again, and ive got a presentation tmr (erm....today)....... yawn......
bullshit.........
nite ppl......

bum
i'm turning into a bum. one of those lazy asses who sits in front of the TV and stuffs his face with nachos and guzzles coke. yeah....thats me in a couple years time. at the rate things are going, maybe sooner. i'll blame it on the summer.....the long days, the over-the-top temperatures, the bush fires screwing up the air quality..... it all makes u jus wanna sit on the couch at home and watch episode after episode of the OC.
for example, allow me to recount my day yesterday....
8am : wake up
8.01am : fall asleep again
9.30am : wake up for real
10am : eat breakfast while watching x-files
10am-1pm : watch 4 episodes of the x-files (while eating chips and ice cream)
1pm : lunch
2pm : sleep
4.30pm : wake up, feel guilty, go to gym for 10 mins.
5pm : shower n leave house for chinese new yr dinner with frens
6pm : BUFFET!!!!
7pm : still at buffet
8pm : still at buffet
9pm : finally leave buffet
9pm-1am : talk cock with frens and watch them get wasted.
i've got this model assignment due on monday that i havent even started.
motivation = KOSONG!
oooo....what time is it? 1.30pm.....hmmm time for another nap.

bit torrent i love thee
okay, i think i'm a little laggy, but i only JUST knew about this thing called bit torrent.
and i can tell u right now that it is going to ruin my social life and my studies. haha.
its this P2P program (kinda like limewire and kazaa) but this one allows transfers of entire folders, not just individual files. that means that entire seasons of TV shows can be downloaded at one go, instead of the usual episode by episode.
and so......i have embarked on one of my childhood dreams......to watch all 9 seasons of the X-files!!! yes, its gonna take a long time to watch it all. and, yes i probably wont have the discipline to stop and study. but really..........i dont care. at least not yet..... haha.

back from the coast
just got back from queenscliff yesterday. fun!
well, of course the work part of the trip was shit, but the evenings were a blast. stayed up till the wee hours of the morning playing cards and talking loads of crap. people tend to reveal more about themselves when they're stoned and in desperate need of sleep. haha.
anyways, heres some pics... couldnt take too many cos for some reason, the girls didnt particularly like being photographed. hmm....weird.
everone but me

fina-damn-ly!!!
DSL CONNECTION!
AT HOME!
FINALLY!
I LIKE!
yes im back online people!
mwahahahahahahahah.
it has been a most torturous almost-a-month without internet. now that i am back online...i dunno where to start!! download Smallville?? OC?? go on MSN?? update blog?? read online comics??? wooohooooo!
this coming monday me going for a 3 day, 2 night "field trip" to Queenscliff. its a small coastal town about 2 hrs bus ride from melb. should be fun, aside from the work. but our tutor promised that after 5pm we could jalan-jalan and do our own stuff. and since the sun only sets at like 9pm, i should be able to do some swimming at the beach! (which i have been DYING to do!) the beaches near the city are kinda polluted (think east coast), and not very fun to swim in. but according to my tutor, the queenscliff beaches are nice and clean. yay!

(still offline) Summer Sem's a bitch....
(warning. this is a "bitching" post. if u are currently having a nice day, do not read on)
whoever said summer sem is slack was obviously very misinformed.
(actually, i think i'm the one who said that......hmmm.)
well, it aint slack...its a BITCH!
for starters, i have a dick for a tutor. and he teaches BOTH my summer sem subjects. ho boy.
for some reason, he believes that studying and doing projects outside of uni is more "interesting" than working in the studio. does he realise its frickin 40 degrees outside!?!? he may want to savor the summer weather, but most of us summer sem students are from asia and we live in the humidity capital of the world...we dont need MORE time in the baking sun!!
he also has this inate ability to complicate things. take for example our latest project. he wants us to record a 3 minute critique on a building and burn it on a CD. i mean, COME ON!!! just let us present the damn thing live to you!! its only 3 bloody minutes!! but wait.....he's not done yet. THEN, he says he wants it on an "I Tunes" format, cos he uses a MAC computer. SCREW U man! the other 95% of the human population uses PC. just cos YOU have an APPLE doesnt mean everyone else has to conform to your bloody system requirements!
there's more....oh there's more....but im late for class now. just as well or else i might start spurting out F-bombs.
hehe-haha-hooohooo-wheee

still offline....
arrrggh!
let me say that again...
ARRRGGHHH!!
i feel like i've been time-warped back to the eighties when there was so such thing as INTERNET!!!! if my DSL connection is not activated within the next few days, i might need to book myself an appointment with a shrink....
so, yes, naturally i AM blogging from uni....on a sunday morning of all times....
woke up this morning and just felt like taking a little walk to uni. maybe cos i havent exercised much lately and the blubber is accumulating FAST.
then again, it IS a FACT that walking hardly qualifies as exercise and the amount of calories u burn while walking is negligible. oh heck, i can lie to myself pretty well and i thrive on living in denial. so there! its good exercise! its true its true.
anyways...(Drum roll)...UPDATES!
1. i am officially addicted to the OC
2. my new years resolution is not to eat any indomee this term. (hahahah yeah rite... well, we'll see how it goes.)
3. ONE MORE DAY TO SCHOOL!!! YAY! (im going to regret i said that...)
4. suresh, i still have yet to see that uber-HOT babe at the swimming pool/gym. wonder where she's hiding....probably somewhere on the 39th floor...heh heh.
5. i have a bigger fridge now that can (finally) fit an ice cream tub!!
6. knee hurting a wee bit. not full-blown like last time, but i can feel it coming. better lay off the runs for a week or so.
7. now that my fridge is big enough to make ice cubes, i have been enjoying....TEH BING!!!!
8. still playing FIFA daily.
ok this comp lab is getting very stuffy cos theres seemingly no ventilation, no fan and definitely no air-con. better get outta here soon...
take care peeps.
hopefully...HOPEFULLY....my next post will be from the comforts of home.

background music...
khalsom, check out this site...
http://www.ricocheting.com/js/music.html
this will give you the source code to copy into your blog template. As for the music URL, you'll have to find it yourself, depending on what which song u want. easiest way i find is to just search thru google. once u have found the song, right click the link and choose properties. this should display the address(URL) of the music clip. (it should be blahblah.wav or blahblah.mp3). copy this whole URL and paste it into the template accordingly.

freakin flies! shoo! shoo!
omg melbourne must be where all the flies in the world come to spawn.
my friends warned me that during summer there would be lots of flies around. at the time i thought "you pansies...its only a few flies."
but OMG!!! these flies come in swarms!!! and they're freakin HUGE too! (albeit slow also. they can be killed easily, like how you would normally kill a mosquito. aussie flies are big and dumb and dont seem to have the "spider sense" that asian flies do)
anyways, back to my fly-bitching. i went for a walk today (my only form of exercise at the moment) to uni and this grp of like 5-6 flies followed me ALL THE WAY! wah its the most irritating thing!! and when i look ard at other pedestrians, i can see a "halo" of flies around their heads. you can see ppl flaying their hands around for no apparent reason on the streets of melbourne.
this is really giving the pulau tekong mosquitoes a run for their money.
