Well its been another crazy weekend. But its over and that means one assignment down and Derick's pc is settled.
It also means I got another assignment due this wednesday. Well as compared to my previous one, this one is programming. Which means Kenneth is back in business. Sure I may not be the best programmer, but that doesn't mean I suck at it.
Sure you can smirk all you want at me during the last assignment, but guess what, its programming and its Java. No Pointers and such. And even if have, I will not be the one to loose out. Well the fire burns and its time to let it rage. He who laughs last laughs the best. I dun like to do this but no way am I gonna be put down so easily. As much as I always give in, I still got a bit of pride and stepping on it is a big mistake.
Of cos this means that I am gonna have to give up more of my social life(whatever left) but I am sure that I still have a better one than you. And yes having a girlfriend doesn't count towards it. It just means you can't do a lot of things I can still do since I am still single.
Ok enough of my rantings, its time to go sleep and get ready for more middle earth, cooking java beans and my usual 4.4km.
A really beautiful song by none other than Avril Lavigne who brought to the world the song which justifies stealing another girl's boyfriend. lol...
Anyway I am really suprised that she can sing this type of songs. Ok I have not been listening much to her songs but I always pictured her as a punk rocker chick. Guess I am wrong after all.
Well not going to post the lyrics cos you can just go google it. Dun wanna make my post too long also.
I am sure there will be people who can identify with this song, losing loved ones for whatever reasons or a relationship gone sour or even just not being with the person who means the most to you. Sad world, but thats life. Just gotta move on. Time waits for no one unfortunately. So to a good friend, cheer up and be strong and move on. Its just not worth standing still while the rest of the world moves on. :)
Well once again the fire in me burns. Ok maybe not like the old sispec fire but that fire that motivates one to go to extreme ends to get something done. Yup that competitive streak which enhanced by the fact that I am fighting my owns elf to find my own confidence once again has erupted.
No prize for guessing but yup, I am not be good looking, have loads of money or even have a girlfriend, but never ever look down or brush me aside like that. Looks like its time to turn on over drive mode. If I can do it for C++, I can do it for java. Sure I am rusty liaos, but hey, if I can crash course C++, java should be no problem.
Anyway aside on that, todays tutorial was kinda interesting. On the timetable it is written that I got 2 tutorials to attend. Session 'A' in the morning and Session 'B' in the afternoon. It seems that its the same tutorial but due to the size of the class, we were suppose to be split into 2 groups.
Hopefully I get the morning group so that I still get my afternoons. But of course, afternoon slots mean I can go out part/chiong/supper the night before and get enough sleep. Than again, as my classmate was saying, saturday morning lesson also can. Friday night go chiong, come back take a nap than get ready for school. Afternoon come home and sleep loh. Either way its good stuff for me. Especially if I am going into over drive mode. Gonna need some way to relax from it.
Well since there was no afternoon class, my classmates and I decided to go clementi for lunch and what better place than Botak Jones. First time there and I must say the portions are big for the price of your normal western meal.
Chicken Meat with a Generous portion of Fries.
But no botak jones meal is gonna hold me hostage :D
ok thats it for tonite. Gonna relog into middle earth to settle something and get some sleep. Tmr is gonna be a long busy day. Gonna fix up Derick's pc.
Nites World, Kenneth ;)
* Yes this is meant to be a double post type of thingy... :P *
Time really flies when you are having fun, or at least enjoying yourself. And this can be said of the past few days.
Friday was spent doing my first assignment. I never liked maths and add that to computing, it does make things worst. But yet I did have an interesting time fooling around with the equation editor that is built in with word. Never used it before so felt quite noob using it. But after awhile I was playing with it more than doing my assignment.
Finished it in the afternoon and decided to go hang out to destress after a crazy 2 weeks of intensive lectures. Met Herbert and Elliot and later on Stella at central at clarke quay. Than went to liang court for jap noodles. Its been awhile since I have been there and its good to know the place is undergoing some renovation. Hope to go back again once its done. Had beef curry udon and it was good stuff. Spilled abit of curry on my shirt but good thing it was not noticeable.
Than it was off to Double 0 after that. First time to the place so was quite excited. There I was introduced to new friends, Elaine, Adrian, Jason, Mel, Vince, Cyntia who are all very nice people. Just hope I got your names right... My freshies always say I got a memory of a goldfish so my humble apologies if I got them wrong.
Woke up late on saturday due to sleeping late and the leftover lack of sleep from the week. Rest of the day was spent killing orcs, spiders and wrags in middle earth. Needed to catch up on my leveling and was thankful to my guildmates for helping out in some of the quest.
Sunday for another fast day. Went to church sleepy from the leftover lack of sleep still there. Haven't been sleeping well since my intensive lectures started. Spent the afternoon leveling up more before going out for jap dinner at far east square with charmaine, charlene and francis. Unfortunately the rain spoiled the day and went home early. Than found out that Hester was in the same mrt train as me. But thinking I was on a date with charmaine(lol sebastian will die of laughter), she did not say hi. Dao sia... lol :P
Monday was spent catching up on my sleep. Killed more goblins and orcs and wrags and hillman and well, you get the idea. Than went out for supper with the usual people for jap food again. Than its off to Mac Cafe at AMK. Sure is a nice place, if I stay nearby, I know where to camp to study liaos. Died of laughter on the way back due to the 20cents and subway cookie joke.
Well thats about my weekend for you. In a nutshell its adventuring in middle earth, japanese food and more japanese food and meeting up with fun and happening people.
Ok gonna check back in middle earth since the server should be up after downtime to see if I won my auctions before I go get some sleep.
Cheers, Kenneth.

I like Where we are When we drive In your car I like where we are Here
Cause our lips Can touch And our cheeks Can brush Oh our lips Can touch Here
You are the one, the one that lies close to me Whispers hello I miss you quite terribly I fell in love, in love with you suddenly There’s no place else I could be, but here in your arms
I like Where you sleep When you sleep Next to me Oh I like Where you sleep Here
Our lips Can touch And our cheeks Can brush Cause our lips Can touch Here
You are the one, the one that lies close to me Whispers hello I miss you quite terribly I fell in love, in love with you suddenly There’s no place else I could be, but here in your arms
Our lips Can touch Our lips Can touch Here
You are the one, the one that lies close to me Whispers hello I miss you quite defiantly I fell in love, in love with you suddenly There’s no place else I could be, but here in your arms

This is one of those catchy songs that you can put on repeat mode almost forever. First heard it on radio on the way to school and boy did it caught my attention so much that I had to go home and find the song and MTV of it. Upon finding the mtv and watching it, lots of memories came flooding back to me. Happy ones and not so happy ones. Well I dun have to spell them here but people closer would know what I mean.
The Music video is rather cute in a way and I am sure there are many cases where such things(in a realistic way) happened to different people. I myself remember one freshmen orientation camp where I had 1 freshie who kept looking at this girl also in my orientation group. Before I knew it, they were unofficially together by the end of the 3 day camp. And not surprisingly, when I do see one of them in school, the other will be close by. Very cute loh.
Of cos there was another time where I noticed this girl at the beganing of the camp, but never really bother much dunno why also. Than on the last day, she came to ask for my number and I think I can still remember that look on her face cos she was rather "paiseh" yet stil smiling. She just shove her handphone into my hands and I of cos like every other Orientation Group Leader just punched my number into the phone with my name. But in the end, she eneded up with another guy from another orientation group. Ok a little regret but than I would not have met my first girlfriend later on.
Haha Ok enough ranting but yeah, this song really brings back lots of memories. Especially for me after spending a good part of my poly days in camps and workshops. And from comments from other viewers, I am sure it will bring back some for you if you had been active back in your school days. Something I am happy to move on from but yet deep inside me still wanting more.
Ok last lecture for this term tomorrow and I think its time to sleep liaos. Wanna get a good nights rest as thursday is my 4.4km day as well.
We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it Inside we both know what's been going on We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
(Ooh give you up) (Ooh give you up) (Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give (give you up) (Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give (give you up)
We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it Inside we both know what's been going on We know the game and we're gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand

Ok its monday again. And the blues have come to stay. Well ok lah, was suffering from the usual monday "I dun wanna go back to school" blues. But somehow this song just made my day. Even more so when I saw the MTV. Super retro sia...
Well somehow going to SIM in the morning makes you want to go back to poly again. The laughter, the fun and the girls. Kinda sad that in the bus, most if not all the presentable and above ones will alight at NP and not SIM. Oh well, at least traveling to school is not so bad now with good scenery and great music on Radio 91.3
Ok its time for me to hit the sack. Kinda tired plus its tuesday tomorrow which means its 4.4km day. ;)
Oh yeah what were living in (let me tell ya) It a wonder man can eat at all When things are big That should be small Who can tell what magic spells well be doing for us. And Im giving all my love to this world Only to be told I cant see, I cant breathe No more will we be And nothings gonna change the way we live Cos we can always take and never give And now that things are changing for the worse, See, its a crazy world were living in And I just cant see that half of us immersed in sin Is all we have to give these
Futures made of virtual insanity Now always seem, to be governed by this love we have For useless, twisting of our new technology Oh now theres no sound for we all live underground
And Im thinking in what a mess were in Hard to know when to begin If I could slip the sicly ties that earthly man has made And now every mother can choose the color of her child Thats not natures way Well thats what they said yesterday Theres nothing left to do but pray I think its time I found a new religion Waoh its so insane to synthesize another strain Theres something in these futures that we have to be told.
Futures made of virtual insanity Now always seem, to be governed by this love we have For useless, twisting of our new technology
Oh now theres no sound for we all live underground Now theres no sound if we all live underground And now its virtual insanity Forget your virtual reality Oh, theres nothing so bad, I know yeah Instrumental break Oh, this virtual insanity, were living in, Has got to change, yeah Things will never be the same And I cant go on While were living in oh, oh virtual insanity Oh, this world has got to change Cos I just, I just cant keep going on, it was virtual, Virtual insanity that were living in, that were living in That virtual insanity is what it is
Futures made of virtual insanity Now always seem, to be governed by this love we have For useless, twisting of our new technology Oh theres no sound for we all live underground
Living - virtual insanity Living - virtual insanity Living - virtual insanity Living - virtual insanity
Virtual insanity is what were living in

Yup so I finally got to doing up my blog. Abit more at a time. Changed the colours slightly and did up the banner. Well its not yet fully done but slowly lah. I got all the time in the world anyway.
Anyway I just cleared all the lectures for one module and onto the next one. Intensive lectures really intensive sia. Each day I get more tired due to information overload and the lack of proper sleep. But on the positive side(yes positive, you did not read wrongly. Coming from pessimistic me) I have gained new insights into the whole computer security thing. Sure its basic general stuff at this point, but so basic that most if not all of us take for granted.
Other than that, I finally got my Newcastle Jersey and did the number printing. Due to some mis-information, I got the number wrong but who knows, the new player might actually be good as discussed on the forums. Either way it looks better now since there is no more empty space at the back.
Still deciding if I wanna put a name, so see how well David Rozehnal performs. If not gonna put my surname there loh.
Well other than that, it seems I cannot be left alone to my singlehood. Well there is a sort of extended family dinner tomorrow at some thai buffet. Good news is that its buy one get one free because of some credit card promo. Bad news is that because I got no other half to bring along, the total number is odd. And my parents were like trying to see who they can ask along or if I got any idea.
Sometimes I wonder if they feel the, ok I wun use the word hurt, maybe irritation that I feel? Kaoz, its been downhill, into the valley and so on every since my last relationship than the ones that I tried to pursue never turned out right. Sure I am learning to enjoy my singlehood but things like this is kinda discouraging. And someone still say nevermind just go. Please loh, go there means more questions and comments. As harmless as they were intended, I rather not have them. I dun think I need to put up with those questions.
Only problem now is how to smoke out, maybe I will just head to town myself and try to pick up some books for my 2 modules I am taking or hopefully the rest are going out for dinner.
I wonder through fiction to look for the truth Buried beneath all the lies and I stood at a distance To feel who you are Hiding myself in your eyes
and hold on before it's too late Until we leave this behind Don't fall just be who you are It's all that we need in our lives
and the risk that might break you Is the one that would save A life you dont live is still lost So stand on the edge with me Hold back your fear and see Nothing is real til it's gone
Hold on before its too late Until we leave this behind Don't fall just be who you are It's all that we need in our lives
So live like you mean it Love til you feel it It's all that we need in our lives So stand on the edge with me Hold back your fear and see Nothing is real til it's gone
Hold on before its too late Until we leave this behind Don't fall just be who you are It's all that we need in our lives
Hold on before its too late Until we leave this behind Don't fall just be who you are It's all that we need in our lives
It's all that we need in our lives It's all that I need in my life

Ok another layout change, this time in the colors. Decided to use something brighter instead of the old black dark one. Still deciding on the title picture as I got many ideas going through my head now. Hopefully can get it done by this weekend.
So until than, enjoy this new song from the Goo Goo Dolls who gave us "Iris". Nice song and the MTV is not bad as well. Guess you can never go wrong with a movie tie in mtv.
Guess in my own interpretation, the song is talking about holding onto important things around you like a relationship and also being true to yourself.
Ok its time to go to dreamland. Got a bit of a "heart attack" just now over MSN... haha will not say much here, want to know than ask me in person.
And a shout out to someone, enjoy your holiday with your family, holidays like this are quite rare as time moves on so have fun.
As you can see, my blog is going through a bit of renovation. More work will be done to it over the next few weeks. Unfortunately classes are rather intensive this month thus the lack of time to do it up properly. I dun even have time to play up my LotrO character.
Well until the next update, here is a little video for you...
I liked the original one especially when banging cars and doing crazy near misses in the game burnout for the psp... and now this just went one up while killing orcs in middle earth :D
