~* brianc - Toilet *~

I recently discovered that studying in the toilet tends to enahnce my ability to absorb informations. It smelled in a way, but worked for the brain.... Perhaps there'll lesser of the objects that drew one's attention away from the text. Just imagine being in a typical study room, you may be distracted by the great song from the Fm-radio, "blingbling" sound from MSN, sisters always bumping in to borrow your vcds, phone calls from people and the other many events.... Apparently, while sitting in the bathroom you get to pay more attention focusing eyes on the text, rather than the occasional drift of the eye-balls to some spots in the toilet.... hehehe, don't you get dirty now..... I dun mean staring at one's SH**T~

.

.

A simple army of ants climbing on the wall of your bathroom is good enough to pick up one's attention. & if they were transpoting stuffs, it even draws more of your attention now... hehehe...

.

.

So far till then, I'm off to the toilet......

~* brianc - a GREY day *~

It was Grey

I opened my eyes & took a look around my room, it's quiet and cold as usual for anyone who had woke up in the middle of the night while sleeping. But this time round, I had a funny feeling that the night ain't hanging around.... Slowly, I stretch my hand to my desk, trying hard to find my handphone with almost eyes closed. Arhhhh~ 11.30am!!! with my eyes wide open now, "And there goes my pre-plan morning jog I promised myself the night before......" I thought to myself.

.

.

Still finding difficult to pull my ass off the bed, I was wondering if my clock was spoiled or what when my room still appears dark & cold... I gently peep through my curtains, and woooah~~ a pitch grey colour filled the world! Apparently, it's going to rain soon. I stood right next to the curtain, contiuning my stare to the grey-lish backdrop. "Oooooh, Don't one love rainy days" I wondered? I always felt things tend to slower their pace during rainy periods, the usual rush and panic in our world seems to disappear for a moment. And everyone stood still, looking at the rain as it falls...

.

.

Looking across my window is the other HDB block and from my little hole I created with my curtains, I can simply glare at the households next door... It's always interesting to find that there are all sorts of people with different characters living around us, there'll the newly-weds decorating their new place, childrens running about through another window, people cooking for their love ones, windows that were never once opened, similar people standing aimlessly at their windows, and many more kinds.... Its almost like viewing all sorts of lifes just right through a small hole of mine....

.

.

Then I told myself its been pretty comforting for one to just take a moment to realize what kind of life they have been leading all this while? Is this life-style so far so good or a feel of change? Well, I really appreciate this "Grey" day of mine, if not I would have forgotten to sometimes " take a break...." and look around.

.

.

Took my towel and toothbrush and headed to the bathroom~

~* brianc - Quiz Aftermath*~

A mere 2 more days to my quiz, and things still look pretty gloomy ahead of me. Getting older on years, I feel that my memory are really starting to fade off from my peak years (during the polys days). Things just wouldn't stay in the brain but fanciful thought, memories of the long past keep flashing through my mind~ When one is a young kid, I always dream on getting big so you can buy sweets without permission, wander to whatever places in the world by yourself or even do craZY things like parachute jumping & bungee. But apparently when I hit the old enough age, the opposite happens & I do really feel going back to those kids years.....

.

.

Well, so much of the drifting off back there... Think I better head back to my studies asap when things are still looking blur-lish to me. Hope the upcoming quizs turn out the similar format as explained by Jean and that QC lectr (sorry, I forgotten his name). And praying hard enough, the very last thing I wanted to see is the same mishap that happened back then in my Bio-quiz. We should have preform better if we were told only that particular section is tested, while the other is left out, but why kept hinting the Bio-polymer be coming up on quiz..... Felt so cheated bro!

.

.

Well, somthing to cheer everyone up~

.

.

Joke of the day

Most of my fellow passengers were patient about the flight delay - except one obnoxious couple. The man was practically shouting at the gate agent.

.

Finally came the annoucement:"We are ready to pre-board passengers needing special assistance, passengers with children, and passengers with husbands who act like children."

~* brianc - Case Study 01 *~

Case Title: Record of Sad People in Town

Date of publish: 24 Feb 2006

Source of info.: MSN messenger, Friendster, ICQ, Personal blog, Faces in school

Conclusion:

.

I had recently did a counting on the people around me on a particular emotional status, and its truly atornishing and easy to spot just a 'sad person' in your life. If you don't believe me, just log onto your msn, icq, friendster, friends' blogs, etc. (if you have any in your computers). You can see people, which mostly those close to you & the ones you care, writing down things that are, more than often depressing, stressed up, love-sick, ill, so on and so then~

.

Now, what exactly is the world turning into? But after seeing all those sad notes on their presence in exp. (msn), I'm more than certain these are the people seeking for some care & concern from who maybe online together with them at that moment. Well, to my experiences not too many can afford the time to sit down on a comfortable armchair and chat with another one having problem in life.... Because usually on my list (msn), there're about 75% sad to stressed people compared to the other 25% happy & blissful dudes. So the probability that 2 or more sad people can end up chatting with each other. The problem sinks in just like that, brothers & sisters! If 2 sad people comes together trying to cheer each other up, from recent studies ( one i grab from a US survey), both are at a risk of 92% turning more depress than before!!!!!!

.

So much for the problems stated but now WHATs the Solution then? Well, not being a expert myself hopes to do some help to those sad souls that happen to read my blog... 1st: Face the fact that most of your friends who chatted with wouldn't solve your problem, the only crucial problem solver is yourself. 2nd: Put happy notes on your msn, icq so on... with more happy-sounding souls around on the list, chances that it might brighten other sad people's day and giving you hopes are higher.... Put encouraging words than writing pittiful words. 3rd: start a blog and write out all your feelings, bcos you will understand by writing down what your problems are and its easier to solve them than putting them in your heart. Come on, as you refer back to your blog and read , tell yourself you can get through this!

.

4th: Get a outdoor hobby, u can start with anything from shopping to sky-diving! Chances is that doing outdoor stuffs open you to the mass and for those singles, you bet you get to know more guys/gers in life..... WARNING: DO NOT PICK UP HOME-ALONE hobby like watching vcds, play PS2, sleeping or study!!!!!!!!!!! ( it worst u off dude)

And again, please to share my views with all................

I'm wrapping up FYP dudes!!!!!!!! Please its enough FYP-torment for me Arhhhh~ & i'm turning into blogging as it seem really cool and cooler as it gets!!!!!!!!!!

~* brianc - NTU night ride *~

The night ride was ended with a package of BoonLay Market famous "Nasi Lemak", which I later had to enjoy @ home. Hmmm, its really a great miss for my other two riding khakis, DH & JC. They were wondering the night was to late and they couldn't put anymore food into their tummys... Since been awhile I've been to that place, a no no miss for that food for me..... HAHA~ & i ended up getting (rice + Otar + Fried Fillet + egg + cucumbers + ikan bilis + tons of tasty chili sauce), then back home, I realized I left out their famous chicken wings!!!! Should have included that in too~

.

.

Well @ this eating rate, the climb-training just now served almost no purpose! hehe, but food is so hard to reject.... (@ this point of time if my dear read this, she will scream @ me). But the ride was very much smoother than I though. The very steep slopes that always never fail to freak you out, was indeed not as freaky steepy as it looked... Must the regular training run keep me in good fitness, almost 3 times a week, 5.3km run + a swim per wk really helped!

.

.

It's been awhile to try BT trail, hmmmm, maybe it will seems easiler now? Who knows~ heehee

~* brianc - I'm ain't no complaining, am I? *~

Well, as everyone can see I'm just laying back relaxing on one of the many cozzy sofa in IKEA. And there COMES my girlfriend having to pull and drag me off from this lovely, sexy & soft sofa which I had my butt glued on....

.

Urghh~ Oooooo~ Arrrhh~ Unwillingly I left the sofa and head down the hall of other home deco. But in my mind, thoughts went further.................

.

.

Not trying to be lazy or what but I truly need a BREAK after all these years of studies. life in NTU just can't compare to Polys. The pace is sooo uncomfortable, its always study study n more study.... even eats into my one week break for the preparation of quiz. But the only thing thats worth celebrating is its my final sem & I'm off~~~

.

There's recently a common subject that everyone in my school kept mentioning: "Hey, go for Phd lahh~ not bad you know!!!"..... Woooh and i goes almost everytime with a Big "NO WAY".... One fyp had already kept me troubled for A YEAR, just imagine doing a phd means everyday fyp! Come on lah~ To times, I think there's a consipracy going on though, people are trying to encourage more of their batch into phd so they have better stike on finding a job while the top-scholars are gone~ hahaha...

THats My DaY~~~~~~~

~* brianc- A Maid's Love Sorrow *~

Bump~ Bang~ Blang~

Off the guy ran as he find himself almost tumbling down the flight of stairs when he saw me walking up my HDB flat staircase. There wasn't any prank I played nor was I looking like a mad person with an axe, except for the 'roti prata' in my hands well for my breakfast. The Thai-looking man flew off the moment he saw me and leaving behind her (in most case) indonesia girlfriend looking daze sitting on the stairs...

The girlfriend quickly re-collected herself from wonderland and ran back into my neighbour house, & *BANG* goes the heavy door!!! For a moment I thought to myself if I were to spoil their lovely romance on paradise isle....

Maids having relationship issues during their stay in Singapore had always been an improtant ISSUE concerning many of their employers. Things seem to be always ending up in a very wrong way, which gives more harm than anything else... SO, as what but almost 99.9% maids employers did was to "EDUCATE THEM" or putting in a blunt manner as in "WARNING THEM" the rights / wrongs... In a very similar way, we often change them into what we always known as : "the S'poreans"....

Well, the educating becomes pretty simple after many simplification steps we try to believe its true and well true enough, they now do WORKS~~~

All they need to do is to "Listen, Behave, Keep quiet & follow, If anything wrong happen just run as fast as you can, And hide to pretend nothing went wrong, The rest is pray hard for the worst to be gone by itself~~"

And thats why problems kept coming back....................

Well, bet the maid now is freaking out in the house on whether I will sold her out to my neighbours??? lets see how it goes 1st~ Should I just keep quiet, and mind my own business???

~* brianc-Price Tags *~

Excuse me there, whats your value...? Ermmm got discount or free gift anot huh...?

Everyone has a invisible price tags on themselves, and it determines the how much they worth in this society. Although its very much saddening to catogorize a person into any item on the shelves, its almost true that we do see one another in terms of the value they worth~ let me elaborate....

The (inner thoughs) of some fellows in my school

• Hey, he got tips to the exams, let be-friend him to dig out the tips~
• Hey, he knew some contacts to that well-known MNC company, better tag with him for such opportunities~
• Hey, he's a strong competitors in applying for the same job I do. Got tips dun let him know or you lookee (aka lost out in hokkien)~
• Hey, he wun mind one lah... jus use his stuffs~

How many times in life when we approach someone in our environment having such style of thoughs in yourself? But to think back to the ancient days, people do often tag with those who can make their life easy, but there's a just thin line between "using" & "be-friending" SO the next time you approach someone, why not have a min to yourself whether you are putting a VALUE of him/her for purpose of getting close to them...

This article is written in vent of the author being rejected for a look at a namecard that his (so-call) friend got and this friend jus replied: " so sorry, its mine..." oooooooo! so darm pissed~

~* brianc-Applying Knowledge Into Life *~

;p

Returning to wear that green uniform had always never fail put a saddening impact on me, but no matter how much tears I let out, there's definately no way to siam (aka escape) this, thus lets "ROCK n ROLL" as what my nano-material Jean Kim protested always; I shall hold up rifle and unleash my "love-country-spirit" to rock n roll my land...

Yah Yah Yah~ so much for the effort previously, and the next troublesome stuff is finding a job~ I'm often seen as a simple guy with minimum expectations in life, & so as long the job offers a good pay, stylish offices, impactful company name (one that makes your fellow friends go Woooooooo~), accessible locations, fantastic welfare, etc......... "I AM ON FOR THAT JOB!!!" True enough, it might turn out me performing a acceptance sampling on those qualify ones~ hmmmm, lets pick my AQL then...........;p

Applying what I learn in school is soooo difficult..............
