A piece of my mind

We can't think out of the box if we are living in one.

When the clock strikes twelve at noon, is it twelve hours after midnight, or twelve hours to midnight?

There's always something which Google cannot find, your door keys for instance.

Procrastination

Staring at the blank screen

My heart starts to wonder

Will I finish on time

Or will I just die

Then I wrote my first word

But it sounded stupid

I deleted it

And the screen went blank

And now I’m dead

And now I’m singing this little tune

Though there is a lot of work to do

I know, always, work is, delayed

Until the moment before I die

And now I’m singing this little tune

Even though for now my hands are full

Just why can’t I clear this pile of crap

Before it’s too late

But that is simply not the way of life

Do not anticipate

Tom

Sitting in a dorm,
Switching on the com,
Staring at the mon,
Feeling like I'm Tom.

My tears dyed my face scarlet red

My tears dyed my face scarlet red
Knowing this, it is not so bad
At least I couldn't feel the pain
Though I bet, nothing is in vain

Have no sympathy, be no bane
As I was never an insane
But heed this, you simplistic fools
You are nothing but lumps of tools

The day I rein, the day my might
Will conquer you, your every rights
Will be the day, you step aside
To honor me and be my bride

You have been warned, you Earthly ones
My face is not the only one
Be it Crimson or Scarlet red
The colour, you fools, have been had

Some heart rate detector

Its custom made~ Want one?

Now what...?

I just came across something that reminds me of a few theological theories which I've been taught some time back. First up, is a theory in Buddhism stating that ignorance is a source of suffering. I wont elaborate further and lets leave that as it is for now. Another theory, a Christian one, says that knowledge is sin. Remember the Adam and Eve saga? Yea, thats where the theory comes from...

So, from these two little theory, considering that both theories are true and considering that knowledge is the opposite of ignorance and vice versa, what I can contemplate from these is that, in order not to suffer, we have to sin ourselves and attain knowledge. Hmmmm... not really something which teachers want you to learn, isn't it? I mean, choose between sinning and suffering... I think almost everyone will opt for sinning, right? Who on Earth want to be born to suffer from cradle to grave?

Anyway, I think I'll sit on the fence and let nature take its course. Whether I sin or suffer, so be it. I can't help it, right? Its more or less a lose-lose situation...

Oh and I think I need a new pair of slippers.

... when I know I need a pair of slippers, I'm sinning (my wallet) cause I'll have to go and buy a new pair, but I'll be happy cause I have a new pair of slippers. And if I don't, I'll suffer cause my slippers will fall apart and I'll have to walk bare footed (and maybe a nail will get stuck on my toe or something) ... Yea, some nice little theory there @@"

Blehx

K, I don't know what to write... Don't care =P

I'll definitely write something much longer later.

Oh and somehow I like to hug my guitar. Don't know why, and don't ask.

做不到

看不懂或不想看中文的人 抱歉了 -.-
久違的中文網誌 =P

...
開始明白爲什麽會對某些不知名的東西感到厭倦了
一開始會覺得有點莫名其妙
爲什麽總是有某些東西不太對襯
總是好像什麽出了軌似的

只是一點點感觸而已
但突然覺得 我存在的"空間" 新的"空間"
...太虛偽了...
看看某些版上的留言
會發覺它們跟本尊所曾說過的話
出入太大了
可能我不太懂這軌道是怎麽走的吧
可是 我還是比較喜歡以前的那一切

拜托
誰說他們無知
誰說他們單純
除了虛僞 我從他們身上真的什麽都看不到
或許我孤傲吧
可最起碼我不懂得把自己隱藏起來
帶著面具 很累
看著滿街的面具 更累

你們的規範 說真的 我不懂
可那規範所意味著的
只有那股窒息般的反感
那好啦
我自己掉進什麽規範 隨便啦
你們的面具 我不會帶
你們的規範 我不會懂
你們的一切 還是你們的

只讓人看見自己想讓別人看見的
抱歉
我做不到

Finally, some fresh air~

At last, i felt that my time is mine again.

For a starter, I seriously believe that writing in general has got something to do with your attitude. Why am I saying that? I used to be capable of writing something like a thousand words (English) in an hour or less, but nowadays it takes like two to three, or sometimes even four or five. Why? Maybe I'm giving too much of a damn about all those crap that I'm writing. Maybe. Well, they are just some random babblings, right? So why bother so much about it? Get to your point, throw it all out, add a full stop, call it a day.

Had quite a few assignments that was due in the past month. Life was like... "what? there another deadline coming up?" And to further reduce the already lessened time, I've somehow managed to clear Assassin's creed II and Bioshock 2 in this duration. Yay, screw those homeworks~~ Blehx, I'm not in particular found of writing, mind you. I just like to express my ideas of certain topics which, at some point, I find interesting. Oh and mind you again, when I say 'interesting', I meant those that me, myself and I consider interesting. If its out of the category, its out, and don't cry over spilled milk... thanks =D.

There just a few things left. Two finals, (screw them, I hate studying to é core) and two papers (I think I've mentioned that I don't like anything that is older than the 19th century... and I haven't. I would have mentioned it after this sentence =D). I won't be giving too much of a thought about those, so I'm sitting here, supposedly should be studying, but I'm babbling my way through in this little blog of mine and, yea, gonna shoot some zombie heads later.

Don't ask, cuz thats how things work for me.

Days without interent...

I don't in particular know what the heck happened to the Internet connect at home. The thing is, it's down and theres no way in particular that I can get it to work. So the thing is... I am stuck in McDonald's using this free wifi stuff from my lappy and it's been a few days since this crap has started. Well, I had a presentation to rush or else I won't be bothered, and yes, I CANT BE BOTHERED, to go somewhere else to use any interent. But hell... that's life, isn't it? When your life is getting screwed in a perfectly normal way, something worse came by and screw it to a greater, much greater extend, eh?

Anyway, well, a few days off the line and I certainly did feel the significance of internet here. First of all, somehow I couldn't get anything work done, or rather I can't get myself to work. Maybe I'm too darn used to surfing the web, googling or wiki-ing stuff and writing those babblings at the same time. Well, maybe. But still, I guess thats the mode that I'm used to working with. Sitting here, looking at the comp, gold-mining using google. Mmmmm... thats how life works, I guess.

Another thing is that, well, somehow, without the internet, theres still hell lot of distractions here and there. I turned my attention onto my NDS. Ace Attorney is interesting =D Somehow, single player games are interesting as they are, and multiplayer ones are, somehow ... well, they have their charm, but their game mechanism isn't exactly all that rich in a few other aspects such as plot and etc etc etc. Multiplayer games are more action oriented, no doubt.

Speaking of single player games, why does Assassin's Creed II require an interent connection to play??? I mean, come on... It's only a single player game. Requiring an interent connection to play a single player game is ... dumb.

Windows start up music

Was camping at the back of the classroom in lit and art class today, as usual. I don't really talk to the people there, not much at least. Not that easy blending into them.

Anyway, the instructor asked a peculiar question and the whole class went silent. I was switching my notebook then. After like 2 to 3 seconds of silence (tranquility to me), the Windows start up music of my notebook played... Of course, it broke the interrogating silence, and the whole class roared with laughter (though with some subtleness). Guess I screwed up again ... eh?

Oh well, at least I managed to broke the silence in a funny and acceptable way, though I'll rather I didn't.

Lost in translation

I know I'm not that much of a righteous person. I know. I KNOW. Why? Cause I can't help laughing at someone when he or she screws up (mostly he, I don't normally laugh at girls). Oh well, sometimes its real hard try not to laugh at something that is hell hilarious, especially when that guy tries his best to make it look real cool. Cool my a**...

Anyway, heres what happened. Theres Chinese lesson, as usual. Our instructor asked us to translate some English brand names/slogans into Chinese. He split the class into 4 groups and asked for peer reviews after that. Well, the first one is this (Hong Kong IFC slogan) :

Be informed, be amazed, be shocked

And our translation is

體驗吧
驚喜吧
震撼吧

Well, I personally don't like the 吧 too much cause it gives a strong hint of "mainland" feel, but still, it has the most positive votes for the peer reviewing so I guess its still a nice little translation =D. Anyway, the second one is an American cosmetic brand:

Urban Decay

And our translation is

小城誘惑

I personally liked this one quite a lot. The 小, or small, sort of represents the size of cosmetics in quite a pictorial form. And then 誘惑, or temptation, here, brings out a hint of negativity which can be observed from the word decay. 小城 here defines a cosmopolitan state and its insignificance, which corresponds to the word Urban. The whole phrase than gives the reader a sense of significance that is embedded in a larger insignificant context, just like how the significance of cosmetics is enhanced though it is insignificant when compared to the rest in terms of size. Anyway, we got the most positive votes (again, ya =D), but the point is... theres one particular group which I find ... well, I beg your pardon but.... hilarious. To cut it short, heres what they wrote:

都市歷崎

When I first saw this phrase, what crossed my mind was roller coaster, or rides of some sort. Erm... seriously, isn't the adventurous sense kinda too strong here? It just reminds me of those theme park rides or tourist rides, like those city bus rides of a sort... -_- ... Then there's this word 崎 ... I know they wanted to rhyme with the last syllable of Decay, but ... do you have to? It looks real weird. And that really reminds me of 山崎麵包 ... -_- ... and I said that to my group in quite a loud voice... yea, the dude who wrote this must have heard... (that explains my intro paragraph)... oh and to make it worse, he wrote explanation for each and every word. Heck... so much for creativity... its too chocking -_- ... and that guy acts like hes such a pro in these crap and things like that (who else will give one whole bunch of explanations for 4 words?!) ... come on, get a life... ...

Oh and why am I writing in different chucks, point X for intro and conclusion, and point Y for the middle portion... Thats so ... Achebe...........

Grammatical

You have some interesting points about Sontag’s thesis and you have clearly thoroughly examined Sontag’s book on photography. Grammar and sentence structure need a little more work. Good Work

Basically, I still suck at grammar. Blehx, so much for being singlish native...

改詞 - 還是剩我一個

看到工程系的戰友們都要畢業了
突然有某些話想講
算了
就拿一首歌
把詞換掉
會比較貼切點

還是剩我一個 (說好的幸福呢)

曲：周杰倫

我們不是説好的　 一起畢業呢
可是爲何還剩我一個　繼續在熬呢
你們穿的畢業袍　 還是橙色的
相機斷斷續續拍著照　留作紀念了

快離開了　 走了　 別回頭就是了
快走了　 去了　 要散了
一開始的數學科　 我還得F兩遍呢
有些科只讀到這真的夠了

怎麼了　畢業了　還是剩　我一個
我懂了　defer了　夠遜了　活該了
那堆F過的科　一一細數著　我再retake
GPA零點九的那個成績　還呈現著呢

你們走吧　就丟下　我一個
我錯了　承認了　成績呢　泡湯了
只是那張成績單還得保留著　還能怎麽了


你們快要脫難了　 我還熬著夜
還記得以前那些功課　還是抄的呢
懷念那些source吧　 以後就沒了
而你們離開這鬼地方　這就解脫了

照片拍了　 帥了　 畢業袍也穿了
滿足了　 爽了　 那我呢
告別的這小玩兒　 我嘗過好多遍呢
只要能記得我就真的夠了

怎麼了　到頭來　還是剩　我一個
不捨得　捨不得　到最後　都散了
那熬過的日子　一一細數著　若再重演
那些無趣無聊又苦悶的課　我才不要呢

快點走吧　別對這　眷戀著
炒股的　教書的　什麽的　都好了
只是不要學我這樣還留在這　讀這些屁呢

怎麼了　三年了　還是剩　我一個
爛課本　八半課　那筆記　幾百頁　我快要挂了

別再等了　快一點　離開這
告別了　分道了　有緣的　再會了
只是那些一起頽廢過的日子　不會重演了
