just the other day, i studied till my ass hurt. yup...not my eyes, not my head, but my ass....sat in the dining hall from 8pm till the next morning. it started to hurt ard 4 something. i think the ass is the part of the body that is under the most pressure (buns...i mean pun intended) and stress during exam times when one is studying.
u see, the eyes, the brain, the body, all can take a break from studying. but the ass doesnt. it cant. when we take a break from studying, wat do we do? we look ard, talk, go to the toilet, surf the net, read blogs, etcetc. and wat do we do when engaging in these activities? yes we sit somemore. maybe with the exception of smoking , sleeping, or shitting breaks, we still put pressure on our poor fanny (er no pun intended there for those who know) even as our eyes and brain are taking a rest.
take even walking as another example...after walking for one whole day in town, following ur girlfriend or female friend, carrying all her shopping bags, giving in to every demand that u enter the shop with her and comment on the stuff that she wishes/wants/desires/hopes/yearns/can't possibly afford to buy, u start to wonder: is there hope for all the guys out there who have to go thru all this? is there not a charter which serves to protect the interest of the males?
ok where was i...
ya so if we wanna give our legs a rest, who do we put under stress then? our ass.
the fact is that the primary form of resting our body is sitting. after all sorts of strenuous activities, we sit. the ass therefore is an unappreciated part of the body. there'll come a day when our ass will protest, leaving us in great agony at the slightest touch, rendering us incapable of sitting, reminding us of the times we totally ignored it while we happily gave the other parts of our body a break. it is only appreciated if it is shapely, firm and taut. and even so, it is appreciated by others, and not by person who made it go thru hours and hours of strain and excercise. i mean, who goes ard saying "I appreciate my butt cos it gets me the chicks/hunks." or which questionnaire asks "Which part of your body do you appreciate the most?" its all about being proud of it and thinking of it as one of the best features of your body.
with that being said, contrary to popular belief, i think sitting is a great form of excerise for the butt. granted that fat may build up in the area, but all that sitting jus pushes it up and makes it perky. its how u sit that makes a difference. with at least ten hours everyday of constant toning and moulding (during the study period that is), it's almost guaranteed that ur ass wun be saggy. couple that with an ergonomically designed chair and u're on ur way to a brand new perky ass.
caress ur ass today. show that u appreciate it.

its 2.35 am and here i am blogging..about wat? nothing in particular.
y?? y i soh liddat? y ah soh y??
first paper on mon and i've only memorised 2 chapters. yeah im gonna be cliche and say that i dun feel like studying. everyone blogs about how they dun wanna study, how they messed up their schedule by oversleeping/watching movies/slacking/cleaning their room and what not.
sigh...
recently had some insect probs in hall, those brownish flat flying ones which usually appear during the rainy season. luckily it doesnt affect a blk as much as b and c...heard its really bad down there, with the critters coming in swarms. come to think of it, i encountered alot of them last time on the 2nd floor. they'll jus make an appearance all over the floor, walking ard, seemingly unable to fly, and then jus dying after a while. feels good to know that they choose kr as their final resting place.
anyway apparently they hail from the private residences opposite the blks. makes u wonder wats causing them to migrate over to kr. must be to disturb the unfortunate ppl who's studying for the exams, to the extent of having to vacate the room due to self-fogging heh.
flies files flies flies flies...notice any difference? no? then u've been studying too hard. there was an email regarding this insect prob and the subject read FILES INVASION, but its contents had the correct spelling....and i still read it as 'files' for the first few occurances of the word. what the hell...files invading ppl's rooms 'by the thousands'?? now there's a scary thot for u.
ok..on a totally irrelavant note, i swept (sidenote: i actually typed 'sweeped'..seesh) my floor today. yeah the cool weather makes me wanna do tt..cos i wun feel hot when i switch off the fan.
y?? y am i soh hot man? y ah soh y??
man u shld have seen the amount of dust i collected. it looked like the floor of a malay barber shop siaaall. it was dustBALLS. and also cos there were lots of hair. lots. tt was like 3 wks of dropped hair. dammt y am i dropping hair?
y?? y ah.. shut up already.
my thinning hair makes me feel old...aloy came back from aussie recently and his hair is in bad shape man..luckily he's got the sideburns to make up for it eh haha..but seriously, are 22 yr olds supposed to suffer from hair loss? at this rate i'll be bald by 30 something, given the fact that i can see and feel a difference from a year ago. i dun wish to spend money on hair tonics or have a Yun Nam loyalty card.
well luckily i still have hair on my...oh nevermind.

WWWUUUUUUUTTTTT
This taken off tag-board.com:
Minor downtime due to hardware failure
19 Nov 2004 - Tag-Board Manager: Greg
Our head node had some serious hardware failures that we attempted to debug to no avail. Long story short, we had to replace this server outright. In doing so, we have upgraded to a redundant cluster system that will allow us to operate seamlessly in the event of a future server failure. The system should be stable now, and we will be moving all components of the Tag-Board system to a redundant cluster architecture in the coming months, meaning extremely low chances of downtime.
wtf...wat a waste of time...well, it did spawn many new tagboards on ppl's blogs tt's for sure. the thing is, they shld have made it their priority to get their main website working so as to put an announcement bout the failure. even now that it's up, there isnt any announcement nor apology on the main page. neither do they apologise in the above announcement. in fact, i had to naviagate a few pages b4 i saw this announcement.
minor downtime..sheesh..in internet terms, minor downtime would mean a few hours or less...a downtime of a couple of days would be disastrous to companies.
but hey at least ive got a groovier tagboard now haha.

alritey, tag-board.com went kaput and so i got me a new tagboard. for a moment i tot it was the end of tagboards or something cos even flooble had probs, and i cldn't load myshoutbox.com, my current tagboard. but it's all good now. i prefer this board anyway.
oh i stumbled across this little game called peeptin u see in my side bar.

i realise i get freaky dreams when i'm really tired and have a lack of sleep. one of the more common recurring dreams i get is that of losing my tooth or teeth...it'll start off being loose and shaky and then i'll pull it..sometimes more than one gets loose. im sure many others have this kinda dreams but im not sure wat it symbolises. anyway i took a nap last nite at 10pm after coming back from dinner at ginza and had 1x freaky dream. i could remember being in the kr toilet shower taking a bath...and then...my head popped out from my neck...yes...i was in control of my head and not my body..u cld say it was an erm out-of-body experience in a way...so there was my head, floating ard the cubicle, but i (my head) stuck close to my body... and i cld see my spine and the red flesh surrounding it..ok it sounds really gross but it wasn't really. anyway, the shower was turned on and my body went under it for its bath (ok its quite wierd for me to talk bout my body from a third person perspective)..i was expecting it to hurt but i realised that i cldn't feel my body..instead my vision started to turn blood red, as if the shower was spouting blood..sounds like a scene from stephen king's the shining eh...yeah and tts when i woke up, or so i thot..but strangely, my vision was still reddish, as i recalled looking ard my room and my vision had a crimson hue.
and thats it. thats all i could remember of the dream, even after i drifted back into sleep. another part of the dream had a cat and a bloody white tiger (???) in my room. it was those kinda dreams which takes place in the immediate sleep surroundings, as the animals entered thru the door which i left ajar before sleeping. i cant remember exactly wat i was doing this time, except that i was trying to keep the damn cat away from the tiger, who was lying peacefully beneath my table.
wat the hell..it's as if i took drugs b4 i slept...any shrinks out there care to interpret my dream?
one thing's for sure tho..no more mee sua soup at ginza b4 sleeping.

k here's some photos of our performance in Barcelona last friday with abang and keith. It didn't go very well, what with mistakes and sound problems...but the good thing was that the crowd was mainly made up of KR ppl, a blkers, c blkers, d blkers and 1x b blker and e blker haha...so it felt like playing in hall. the rest of the patrons didn't really seem to be bothered bout us on stage, rather prefering to play pool or chat..which was fine by me man hah..anything to take the pressure off. playing 3 sets was tiring, but the preparation was worse..giving me sleepless nites and work-less days. speaking of work-less, i think 2 weeks ago i only went for 2 hrs of lessons in that whole week. amazing...ok la it happened to be that there was no lab for that week...other than tt, everything else was skipped hah. but what to do, now that i wanna start going for classes, the classes are about to end...sigh..i really wanna be hardworking. serious.
ok watever.
