hello everybodee rock your bodeee...hurhur...tts a quote from a certain dude who hasnt blogged in a long time (no not me la for those informed souls) although yes i admit that i havent blogged in a long while too. but anyway much has happened since national day (the day i last blogged...if ur too lazy to scroll down and see the date). thing is, i have no intention to go recall and blog about it haha...it'll jus be a very narrative post, but since when do i write non-narrative posts rite. well i have jus a couple of pics from the dating game dinner which happened a few wks back. i was really honoured to be mini-me's date...thankfully the unibrow russian woman didnt tag along..or worse, me being seated next to fat bastard. sigh ok its 7am for crying out loud. gimme some slack. thanks to Dr. Evil for the pics. i didnt take tt many photos of the whole dinner anyway, altho there were quite a few ppl i would have liked to have taken photos with haha...
I dunno y i have such a smiley face. anyway tts my gift..all from ikea haha
with mini-me..and i look less happy then the above pic haha. no offense to mini-me..wldnt wan Dr. Evil to blast me with her laaayserrr. or hold me ransom for one meeeleeon dooorrlaass.
oh i'm holding my gift from her in tt pic...its a collection of self made guitar picks (very authenic i must add...right down to the feel and shape! haha) which i'm 'supposed' to use for each day of the wk, sunday being a rest day. very well done and creative...my gift pales in comparison haha.
i hope im not getting the phantom syndrome in my blk, now that im a final year (btw, i still cant get over that fact). i havent been down much for inter-blk games, and when im there, i dun really feel like cheering much. i try to hang out with the yr 1s whenever i can, at least i had lunch and dinner with some of them alr. but there's still quite a few i have yet to know better. actually im kinda contented with the close friends i have in hall right now, and dun feel the need to get to know more ppl? i guess over time i'll somehow interact more with them...during this ibg period its difficult to interact cos we dun go down for dinner as a blk and i think blk dinners are very useful for talking to various blkmates. haha i think im jus not very ppl person la. cant really talk to ppl in big groups...would rather have one-to-one conversation with others.
oh, looks like money wun be coming in for me come next wk. cos it'll be my last wk playing at club momo...apparently they want us to play at least 3 times a wk but since we're not agreeable with tt, they cldnt hold us for long. and i heard that they already found a filipino band to replace us, and even the resident band. sigh..foreign talent, ever the bane of locals trying to find jobs. and here i get to experience it first hand haha. so anyway, i'm gonna be shameless for once and ask tt whoever has been thinking of coming down to watch to do so next wk, weds or sats.
ok need to get some rest. not too much i hope, overslept today and didnt accomplish wat i set out to do.

im so freaking tired.
as some of u might know, i've been roped into reverie to play for them at club momo. and incidentally, i jus came back from yet another gig there which ended at like 330am and started at 1030pm. this is the 3rd time i've been playing at that place, with 2 last wk, and with another 2 more this wk on wed and sat. that's not all. i'm also gonna play at the NUS jam n hop this fri at the central forum, which will result in me missing out on part of some blk activity that i wld love to be a part of. sigh...i dun sound like im actually a full time student eh. well, the gigs wun be so bad next wk i hope, as we've been told to play on weds and sats...so far. we'll see how things work out. 2 gigs a week is fine by me. anything more and i'll surely die a horrible death at the hands of my 8MC project. was reading the specs today after attending the lecture, and i wasnt looking foward to embarking on the project, having to learn stuff like J2EE and java beans...and that has nothing to do with caffeine, altho i might need it in the future. yeah geek alert eh everyone.
anyway, yeah 2 times a wk is fine, since i get to earn some money while i'm at it. it's ironic that i start earning money only when sch starts and not anytime during the whole bloody 3 months holiday. but that's another story for another day. i hope i wun burnout over my school work and external work, as i was kinda confident that i would be able to juggle these 2 commitments. i'll see how it goes i guess, jus have to practise good time management but sigh..knowing myself, that's not gonna be very easy to achieve. 4 modules, 2 seminar teachings, 1 tutorial, 4 day wk, 1 big project, 2 gigs a wk. sounds like a mix of good and bad.
but wat the hell, i'll take it as a challenge to myself, to do something that i like and yet be able to handle my school work.
