ive somehow lost my voice. could feel it get worse a few days back. and yesterday when i woke up, i realised it was gone. so basically now i sound like an idiot who cant complete his sentences. something like jimmy from southpark. i say a few words, and then my voice suddenly turns into this airy squeak.

ok i took off the media player plug-in at the sidebar cos i realised that it's actually on autoplay on most computers, and furthermore, it doesnt fit into the width of the sidebar. it wasnt this way on my comp tt's y i tot i had found a perfect plug-in as i have always disliked those blogs with autoplay music.
anyway it's the end of FWOC and i hardly even know my blk's og. but i guess it can't be helped, cos of other commitments which came up in the last minute, i cldnt be tt much involved this yr. nevermind, there's still block initiation though, and i think it's more important to get to know ur blk juniors instead.
things on the academic side dun look too good. i'm only taking 4 mods this sem but tt's cos of an 8MC mod which is like my final yr project. thing is, its a group project and me and keith have not yet found other members. die la. on top of tt, i'll be taking a level 2000 soci of pop culture module when i have no bloody clue about soci. but im hoping quek can help me out there...haha..gonna s/u it anyway. eh quek if ur reading this u'd better help me out if im gonna help u out in ur sci of music midi haha...
hokay beach games later at 7am. better not rain. better be hot. babes.

i jus visited technorati and guess what's the top search in the past hour?
'Nkf'
hoho....quite amazing how big this news is eh. if u dunno what this is all about, then u've most prob been out of the country. anyway the latest news at this point is that durai and his board have all resigned. everybody. even its patron, mrs goh chok tong. well, i think it was inevitable tt they step down, with all the pressure from the public. 18,000 online pettitions within 4 days, 3 thousand over cancellations from credit card donations and ppl demanding refunds personally at nkf, even if its for 12 measly bucks. its not bout the amt of money of cos, but knowing where some or most of it would end up. i told nkf to stop bothering me many years ago. i was still schooling, and there they were, asking me to donate. give students a break la. the whole charity scene in singapore is gonna be shook up, which is a good thing, cos of the recent concern over the multitude of charity shows/drives, ppl need to know for real where the money goes to and what is it really gonna be used for. i myself lost track of the number of shows per year. i think mediacorp artistes can have another post in their title: actor/stuntman.
recently got my hands on the da vinci code. i think im damn slow huh...most ppl have finished tt book and most prob started on or even finished dan brown's other books but im jus starting out. but anyway, i was reading in front of the comp the other day and i had the convenience of checking out online where in the world the author was refering to in paris. some places i knew, but others jus rang no bells. it really helped to bring the book to life and made it easier for me to imagine out the scene in my head. the book is really quite intriguing and im stunned at many of the revelations presented. it also helped fuel my interest in wanting to go paris haha. i always didnt think much of the churches and museums there, as old european architecture didnt exactly appeal to me as a tourist must-see. instead, i tot of paris as more of a romantic, relaxing destination, which is what i was led to believe from all the commercials and movies. graduation trip to paris anyone? heh
which brings me this: why does nus call it commencement when the students are graduating from uni? ok obviously its supposed to mean the start of a new life for them but i'd rather it be called convocation. yes they're gonna embark on a totally new journey in their life, but most of them surely miss school life and aren't totally that excited about the propect of working life, so y rub it into them? sigh, anyway my turn isn't too far away. my bro recently attended his ceremony and he graduated with first class honours from engin. my mum told me she was surprised tt he obtained first class. duh, he's been getting As for his modules lor. well, hope she won't be surprised when i graduate with a pass. ive been getting C+s and Bs LOR.
haha dammit i sounded so bitchy.

I am damn bloody unlucky.
I got an email from some guy who responded to my online ad about wanting to play in a pub band. the amazing thing is that my ad was more than a month old, so i was feeling quite lucky to get this mail. he sent the mail on monday, the day i left for SWOC, and so i only checked my mail and replied on thursday. i gave him a call on thursday nite and found out he's already chosen a drummer out of bout 3. apparently he held auditions on wednesday and decided that day. how suay can i get man...i check my mail every single day of my hols and when i'm not around to go online, i get a mail like this...and when i get back its too late. this is the 2nd time alr...the previous was when i left for thailand. again, the guy sent the mail on the day of my departure and of course by the time i came back 9 days later, it was too late. the funny thing is, on both incidents, i had a chance to check my mail, the first one being in the airport departure lounge where they had free net access, and the second being in waterboy's room. wonder how things would have turned out if i had checked my mail then.
ive learnt my lesson and so now i left my hp number as well in the ad.
oh well....SWOC...if i hadnt gone for it, things might be different haha..but im not blaming swoc la. im just blaming my luck. anyway it was fun, albeit very dirty...almost every single waterbomb thrown in hall had to be filled with ketchup or flour. from hanging on to a slippery canvas sheet on a slope, crawling up stairs blindfolded with palm leaves overhead (i never understood y they had to use palm leaves), crawling under chairs on a flour-water soaked canvas sheet, playing captain's papaya (again), and getting my feet bbq-ed on the blistering sands of palawan beach, it was quite an experience...one which i was glad i wldnt have to go thru during fwoc itself haha. oh however i think the beach games could do with an epic all-out waterbomb war betw seniors and freshmen like last yr, which will ultimately cummulate into a free-for-all waterbomb slug-fest. the mass dance song shld be the best ive heard so far: Supergrass' Alright, instead of the usual sunny dance/mambo tracks. im sure the freshies wld like it, jus as some ppl did during the camp (rite Al? heh heh).
so anyway, im now burnt and waiting for my skin to start shedding, tho im trying to prevent it by slapping dollops of nivea moisturising cream on my body. i feel like some taiwanese or hong kong artiste advertising for those skin care products.
"SK - II. My miracle water!"
