Haha..for those who have no idea wat i'm talking abt..it refers to me and my brothers..chip and tong.
This blog is dedicated to our nite at velvet/zouk/phuture on wed nite..
Credit to tong for the idea and chip for his on-ness..barely a few hrs back from thailand, he immediately accepted our invitation for the nite. What a right choice.
The night started out slow with us hanging out in velvet having a couple of drinks with our coupons and joined soon by Paul. Soon it was 11..the magical hour..Midnight Madness! haha..we wasted no time in reaching the bar next door in zouk. We went to the bar at the top. Siying and sheerene managed to find us soon after they reached. Me and Tong wasted no time in queuing up for drinks. Jugs and shooters and heinekens soon filled the table we're at.
We had fun drinking and finger guessing with each other and drinking our hearts out!
Got a little high..but damn it..the hour was over and money was drained. Each of us spent abt $100 each man still cannot get drunk. Too good guys!
Saw quite a number of familiar faces that night too. Sorry couldn't talk much, had a mission to drink with my brothers. haha.
Finished the night at Phuture and thanks to Paul we had a ride safely back to Hall.

Not gonna be easy this time round...
I was sianz when i saw the FA cup quater final draw. Chelsea takes on Newcastle at Stamford Bridge. Why Chelsea has so many deja vu this season, drawing the same teams in all the cup tournaments! Last year we beat them but we all know its never gonna be easy against them. But then I shall believe, we are not what we were when Souness was still around. Lets do it again Magpies!
An interesting story to share
The following is supposedly an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate that the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you, and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct..leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night,
Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

Happy Birthday Clarice!
Sorry didnt manage to go for your party. Had to work. Sianz...heard you all had fun..I'm so jealous. haha..anyway glad you had a great party. Finally reached 21..haha..must be more matured!! So yup..just take care and all the very best.
Newcastle Power!!!
Newcastle's mini revival continues with an FA cup 1-0 victory over Southampton. Watched the match while working in Devil's Bar. 1-0 was a flattering scoreline for the saints man. In the first half we were practically bombarding them. They had a good spell during the 1st half of the 2nd half though but we broke the deadlock! Dyer is BACK!! His goal ensures they still have a chance for glory this season especially for Alan Shearer who couldnt play in that match, what a pity.
Lets move from strength to strength Magpies!! The Toon Army will be behind you!!
Back after tired weekend..
Worked 2 long nights consecutively. Tired. Just came back from library. Not very productive but still manage to do some revising. Will do more later tonight after soccer dinner and DND meeting. I really sound like a busy man hor..hahaha
Met 3 Russians from Moscow last night at work. One of them was really a babe man..haha. Couldn't really understand their English though..they spoke in really heavy accent. Took a long while before understanding they actually just want whisky and redbull. The 3 were really into R&B man..started to dance wildly as soon as my DJ started spinning all the hits. And as expected..lotsa guys crowded around her but in the end a couple of ang moh guys won the war. Think they're from US. They had difficulty communicating too from what I observed...hahah...
Getting bored already..think the soccer will start late..stupid aaron isnt even back from Orchard yet. He still claims to be able to travel back within 10mins. Tua Kang Man(Big hole man)..hahah..hope you read this bro! I suspect you are the fake lohhhberttt together with ChipO!

The Fat Round One is at it again!
Yup..he did it again. Foiling us good people having a good clean fun of court soccer. Fancy switching off the lights at 8.50pm. When the RULE says 9pm. Well done lah Mr Justice Rule Following Specky! You upheld the rule!! Maybe everyone in hall should have that sense of justice and uphold rules too! So next time if any of us see a certain fat round specky taking more food than he is entitled to..we must act to uphold the rule! Especially to people who must follow rules at all cost. All eyes are on you..watch ur step specky..
GREATNESS
A man is as great as the dreams he dreams,
As great as the love he bears;
As great as the values he redeems,
And the happiness he shares.
A man is as great as the thoughts he thinks,
As the worth he has attained;
As the fountains at which his spirit drinks
And the insight he has gained.
A man is as great as the truth he speaks,
As great as the help he gives,
As great as the destiny he seeks,
As great as the life he lives.

Long Long Day in the Lab
Today is my I think 5th FYP session in the lab. Its the 2nd consecutive long day. Started around 10.30am til 8pm on wed and til 7 today. Damn sianz. Saw 2 of my classmates this morning in Macs. I went there early on to catch the breakfast before proceeding to the lab. Hotcakes is always a good start to my day! hahaha..
Lab was generally boring. Have to wait and wait and wait for results. The worse thing is results come out wrong and have to do again. Lucky it didnt happen to me. But it happened to my Post grad attached. She's a pretty nice lady from Bangladesh. Helpful and intelligent. Always help me tend my experiment when I go out. haha..lucky me.
Overall the sessions this week have been successful. Manage to obtain what my prof set out for me to do. Albeit it took longer hours than expected.
Tong is begging for one more round of winning eleven. I won one (Roma beat Chelsea) and he won one(Man U beat Chelsea) just now. Think I shall grant him one mroe match to teach him a lesson. hahahah...stay tune for the results!
Anyway my honey is coming over soon. Miss her lots..

TeamNUS Mens Soccer
I love you guys...although I really wanted to be involved more in games but still I've never regretted this journey I've been thru with you guys. You guys are the BESTEST!! Thanks for the memories.
Understanding.......and a little bit of complaint(becoming like you Nas!)
Its not an easy thing to do. Sometimes even when you have explained things but yet the other party do not seems to get it. Frustrating right. Especially when you are in a bad mood. Don't want to elaborate already..still haven't touch both my tuts!! f**k!

And on to my bad mood...yes i know i still have 2 tuts..but i must say this..
The Blk E RF is a bl**dy a**h*le. No wonder he has such a round stomach! Only know how to take many tupperwares to comm hall kitchen to kapO all the nice food. No need pay money to stay hall still can get all the free nice food. We pay so much fucking money yet must restricted to everything. If only he didnt take so much food, even if he paid I'm fucking sure he took more than he is entitled for, perhaps we can have more. And fancy stopping people from working out and having fun playing sports, when he himself needs to engage in these activity the most. And yes he enforcing the rules, but he is definitely not the most tactful person around. Learn from uncle Vincent you old rounded man! Hope you read my blog! Hope one day ball smash into your face and shatter your old man specs!

Decision making....
is it such a difficult thing?? some people like to decide everything..some people simply refuses to decide..why? is it upbringing? peer influence? character? or simply horoscope?
Or is it because its a smart way to avoid taking up responsibility..probably so. So that when things go wrong, it will be the decision makers' fault. They will be free of responsibility. Or they might not want to decide because they have this mentality sub consciously. Or perhaps he/she wants u to decide to see whether your decision is in tune with what they have in mind. And they can slyly put it in such a way that you have to decide because its for your own good and its your responsibility to achieve that aim.
Sometimes its not a big deal to decide on many matters, but if one day you simple decide not to decide, for one reason or another, and the other person too takes his/her stand to not decide things too, nothing will happen. Right? Knowing that the other person have most of the times give in and make the decisions, despite seeing through all their plots on not wanting to make decisions, can't they for the very few times just say something to make things happen? It raelly sets me thinking why this cannot happen. Nothing happening is a small issue, but if it leads to animosity between them then its not worth it right?
Haiz..that being said..I think it can't be helped, these things will happen again..maybe we can blame it on horoscope or perhaps each other.
Still got 2 tutorials to prepare for tommorrow..sianz..

Life is not fair...
WHY?? because the better side didnt go thru to the semis..yeah..i'm talkin about the nathan soccer cup. We might have conceded 2 soft goals..but our performance thruout the match i can say was outstanding! goal line clearances, crossbars and last ditch tackles denied us! or rather as some might say..luck denied us. The last part of the match had us attacking them relentlessly..leaving only 2, 3 man behind..it was so heart stopping to watch...i really wanted to play a part in it at that pt of time..wanted to fight for us but i guess the coach had other ideas. But nonetheless, i share the same pain and agony as the rest when the final whistle went and the results read ITE 2 NUS 1. no 2nd leg no nothing..we were out..damn!
Its been abt 2 days now..i'm not really upset anymore..but the occasion thot of us being so near yet so far is really sianz..i might not show it on the face but sometimes when u see mi sigh for nothing, especially these few days..u can safely guess its this disappointment. sianz ah!!!
ok..enough abt soccer, just wanna share something very nice which happened to me last nite with you ppl..
I went to my honey's place ard 8+..after an arduous journey, which brings mi to the point..NEVER TRUST a women's advice on directions again!! she reccommended mi a bus ride to her place which took so many detours!! i would have saved abt prob 15 to 25 mins with the other route of advance.
back to the point..when i reached..i was greeted by a waitress(her tryin to act like one, quite cute though..haha)..very professional k..hehz..and was served a 3 course dinner!! a starter consisting of cheese wrapped in smoked salmon, den a beef bolognaise pasta and finally a fruity ice cream with yoghurt...it was a really wonderful nite..had a great time..went sauna too!! i love it..hehz
just wanna say thanks honey! i love you!!
ok..written long enuff..its abt time i leave for work..still have to shower and wax hair..

Ops Order received...
Went to my fyp lab early in the morning to meet my prof and post grad attach..the prof was busy at first and the post grad attach wasnt there yet..so i was told to wash my stores first. i washed my beakers, conical flasks, condensers etc..with soap and all..and left it in the oven to dry. all this while waiting for them to be free for mi..
finally after almost 1 hr..in which i fell asleep for a little while..the prof finally had time for mi..she briefed mi on what i had to achieve for my fyp. It sounded simple enough..it was to synthesize 3 compound from a given starting material. but after that she said thatif i manage to achieve all 3 of them..it will be super good and she can do a publication for some engineering or science journal. i was so surprised man..imagine my name mentioned in there for all great engineers and scientists to read...haahaha...and if she decides to put my name down that is..
she said she'll be emailing me her instructions and some guide on how to do the experiments. havent got it though..and my next session is gonna be on wed..which is my free day..hope i dun burn the whole day..
FYP here I come!!!

NUS in the semis!!
After a battling match with NTU..we finally qualified for the semis of the Nathan Cup!! although the match came out to be a draw..but we were victors in our own right in the sense that we managed to qualify in our droup of death! although i was on the bench. i was thrilled to see us getting the results needed...ITE awaits us on thurs..we all know its not going to be easy..but i'm sure whoever is playing will give their best..and hope lady luck is on our side...
recently i have been down on my luck in winning 11..keep losin to chip..but one bright side is that i never lose to him when i use argentina!! haha..even when he use brazil and all...
its 1.30am now..time for a drinking session with my brothers..the ice is ready..the rock glasses are out..the liquor is coming!!
til next time pple..

Today is the DaY!!
Just came back from home...stay home last night to watch chelsea vs liverpool..as usual chelsea won again but u can say that its a little against the run of play though..especially the first goal. nmind abt my thots on that game..i'm not a fan of either anyway..haha..
all my mind is on now is abt the derby match between NUS and NTU later this evening..we might be in pole position to qualify needing just a draw and NTU needing a win..but i dun think it'll be this easy..i'm pretty sure NTU will slog it out with us to gain that victory. I guess i wun be playing a part today..but it doesnt really matter as those who are playing are really on form now..and most imptly is that we win..but rest assured i will be ready anytime if ever i am being called into action.
Have a lecture coming up soon..it reminds me that i have to start studying already..been really really slack for more than a wk..
Anyway..hope pple will come down to SRC to support us today..its 5.15pm at the main field.
