and now,


I get irrationally annoyed at those Harry Potter x Doctor Who fanfics/gifsets on Tumblr.
DAMMIT PEOPLE. STOP TRYING TO MIX STUFF THAT DOESN'T GO.


Anyway, my life has been

teach some tuition
slack
attempt to slack as much as possible and find people to go out with
cringe at DSTA and uni essays
teach more tuition
bang head against wall
attempt to sleep well

I keep failing the last one. It seems that I've now screwed up my sleep cycle really badly.
Must fix it before I enlist, which is 6 Feb.

Anyone who knows me will know my thoughts on NS. Sigh.

I miss school haha. Actually, I just miss planning stuff for CCA. I don't really do anything in lessons, usually. No, that does not include listening to the teacher.

I see all the changes and all the new stuff happening on the Media Club wall, and well, it's kind of mixed feelings. It's nice to see the framework and everything being laid out by the teachers like that, because we actually had to do most of that in the past, but well, that's part of the fun.

even though it's technically just a lot of typing and agonizing over "OMG WHY ARE OUR JUNIORS THIS SLACK AND UNENTHU"

It's okay, the camp was good.
Right, my shoulders and back are killing me. It's good that I have tmr to recover.


NOW TO SLACK. AND WATCH FRIPSIDE.

sigh I love them too much. and nanjolno.


I feel like I'm a kid again.

Just got back from soccer with like, 16 people, and I'm completely burnt out.

Well, we did go to the BGC, and then I decided not to go for the class dinner because I'd totally die tmr.

Then it turns out that I remembered the date of the EAGLES presentation wrongly, and my student cancelled on me. So my tmr went from being completely packed to flipping empty.

which brings me to the point of this post.
Sometimes I like being alone. sometimes socializing is tiring and perhaps the way I do it is wrong.
I mean, I like to go out with my friends, but

I'm worrying too much, okay.
I worry that I'll piss someone off, even though most, if not all the people I associate with are understanding as hell. and the fact that I always operate on a "If you aren't going to be reasonable, that's your problem" policy is making this really strange.

I still care.
and that annoys me to no end. because my general method for dealing with outings and friends, no, mindset is a better word, has worked damn well for the past few years.


I wouldn't do things that I don't see a point in.
It's like, I wouldn't wear a jacket if it wasn't cold. Makes sense right?

Similarly, I wouldn't go to an outing where I would feel uncomfortable, or I feel isn't worth my time, or if I could be doing something else which I felt benefitted me more.

Blogging helps me think, so.

I guess that straightens things out, lol. It's nothing much, just me overthinking as usual.
People fall apart even after a while, anyway. This is trivial.

synchrogazer.

I'm back.
Another quiz.

I doubt I'll be blogging in Japan, since there's the existence of twitter. so, here goes.

of 6 people in our grad trip, 1's already in Japan, 3 are now at the airport, and 2 are at home slacking. Yup.



1: What do you put on hotdogs? 


Ketchup. and mustard.
I like mustard.

2: Do you say "anticlimatic" or "anticlimactic"? 


first one.

3: Do you check flyers before grocery shopping?


No. I just...go to the shops.

 4: Blue, black, or some other colour pen ink? 


Blue is nice. 

5: Do you use your parking brake? 


I don't drive. 

6: Look to your left. How many framed pictures are on the wall? 


Zero. There's one framed puzzle on the floor, but if you read the previous few quizzes you already know this haha. 

okay, I shall move to my room.

7: Do you know how to play chess?


Yes. I'm pretty bad at it though :/

 8: How often do you clean the interior of your car? 


This is Singapore. We can't own cars, man.

9: Do you ever read the last few pages first? 


haha, why would anyone? It's like a massive spoiler.
plus, I hate endings. they're very rarely good.

10: Ever fallen in the shower? 


yeah. it fucking hurts. I can't remember when though, maybe a couple of years back?

11: On a scale of 1-10, how likely are you to swear at other drivers? 


I refer you to Q8.


12: What's the worst thing you've ever called someone you care about? 


"fucker" doesn't count, because sometimes I use it affectionately.
not that way, you cow.

idk la, honestly. I haven't really had big arguments with people I care about, for a long long time.

13: Do you have a Snuggie? 


I don't understand.
oh, I just googled it.
No.

14: Are you allergic to anything?


Yup, I'm allergic to bullshit.

I, Robot reference there.
that was a really bad movie though.

 15: Do you have any TV shows on DVD? 


LOL.

16: How many times do you hit the snooze button before finally getting out of bed? 


Usually it's 2.
If it's 3, my mum's shouting at me already, haha.


17: Ever driven away in anger?


Meh, I can't. Refer to Q8.

Is this a driving quiz?

 18: What's your favourite freezie colour? 


probably red.

19: Are you a vegetarian?


Nah. I like meat too much. 

 20: Do you have a garbage receptacle beside you? What's on top? 


No.

21: Do you cross out your mistakes or erase/whiteout them? 


It depends. If it's proper work I use correction tape, but actually that makes it ugly anyway.
I have redone assignments because they were too ugly. like, recopied the whole thing onto another piece of paper.

22: Ever torn something up that you instantly knew was too important for such treatment?


A few years ago at CNY, I tore a $50 note. Yup.
Fortunately we fixed it with tape and it was usable again lol.

 23: Do you think that things will get better? 


Sure it will. I'm the eternal optimist.
YEAH RIGHT.

haha, I know I display this very negative/sad persona especially when I'm online, and apparently my natural expression is a frown, but I'm really a pretty cheerful guy. I just get really sad sometimes when I'm alone and I think too much.

but for those times, there's music. and friends.

24: Do you have an unpopular opinion? What is it? 


well, this is a general thing, but you know when people try to organise outings? and sometimes when some people decide that they aren't going to go or can't go, they get a bad rep for it?

I think that's really uncalled for and wrong. This is really a general thing, but I've been in that situation many times where I would decide not to be part of something when I feel I wouldn't really be comfortable there, or that doing something else would benefit me personally. and that's the point, it's an individual choice.

so people shouldn't be judged for that. actually, that point is quite idealistic, because I know that judging people is only human nature. I do it all the time. I'll rephrase. People shouldn't be labelled for being a "wet blanket" or being unsociable.
Once again, this is not in reference to any particular events, it's just that I've observed over my 6 years in NUSH that some people are quick to judge others. and sometimes if these people have influence, it ends up exerting a lot of peer pressure on those people, and that's wrong.


onto my second point.

I really disrespect people who volunteer/take up leadership positions and responsibilities, but don't pull their weight. (well, I wouldn't go as far as to say they should be shot, but...) 

Here's the thing. Maybe it's because I'm an SL so my feelings on this are stronger, but I believe everyone feels the same way about these people.

1. They're denying other people of that leadership opportunity, which is a shame
2. They are making life more difficult for everyone else.


It's fucked up, okay. 
I got lucky, I managed to become President of MC, and I have really good friends supporting me. (THANK YOU JIAMIN). But at the same time, I see that there are people around me, friends, frustrated because their opportunities and hard work are being taken away by these irresponsible people.

and it pisses me off. because I know how bad it can get. I have firsthand experience, but my case wasn't that bad.

TL;DR if you even want to join a committee, or hell, even do a project with some people, don't slack off and please be responsible.
Honestly, no one cares if you have no skills/talent in that area. The key is the willingness to work hard and the care. You need to care about what you're doing.



^I've gone really off-topic, I'm pretty sure this is not an unpopular opinion lol. but yeah.


sorry guys. plenty of strong feelings up there. I'm not referring to anyone in particular, just to several people.  but if you ask me to name idiots who pull that shit, I could. Easily.

by the way, I don't associate with people like that. so if I associate with you, you're safe (:

not that you need my approval. sheesh, what's wrong with me tonight. 


25: What's your favourite quote? 

“The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.” 
-The Doctor, Vincent and The Doctor (S5 E10)


26: Did you/are you going to go to prom? 

I did. you're slow D<

27: What's the most physically painful thing you've ever experienced? 

uh, it's probably some dental thing. that shit hurts.
or that time my mum made me go to this place where they physically work on your acne with tweezers. fucking hell.

28: What's the most emotionally/mentally painful thing you've ever experienced? 

I'm lucky that no one in my life has died yet, so.
That means it'll have to be some unreciprocrated love thing. 

moving on, 


29: Have you ever legitimately saved a person's life? 

I don't think so, no.


30: What's your favourite book genre? 

Crime thrillers. I like those.


31: Did you like "Gigli"? Be honest. 

what's that. Hang on, I'm going to google it. 
lol, it's some comedy film. I can't answer this because I haven't seen it. next.


32: Have you ever walked out of a movie at the theatre? 

nope. do you have any idea how expensive movies are in this country?


33: Do you peek between your fingers during the scary scenes? 

Nah, I look at my knees. It's a lot less obvious haha.


34: What was your reaction to Tatum getting killed whilst stuck in the pet door in Scream?

I didn't actually watch it haha. Don't kill me.


 35: Do dogs like you? 

いぬボル!
Yup, I know.

Jeremias seems to. (that's what we call Galen's dog, btw)


36: Would you say that you project an air of authority? 
37: Do people listen when you speak? 


Please, no. I'm still pretty bad at this speaking thing.
They do, to a certain extent. Not my CCA though, lol. I don't blame them, it's probably boring to them.

hahaha hema doesn't listen. because there was once he pulled this:

(this is an SMS conversation)

Me : Tmr outing to pool, meet at Habour Front MRT at 1pm.
Hema : Meet where? What time?


YES, HE REALLY DID THAT.
I remember this clearly because I literally LOL-ed after receiving the reply. ah, good times.


38: How are your elbows? Are they okay? 

well that's just creepy.


39: What is one thing that you do exceptionally well? Be honest. 

I can, uh, 
is it bad that I can't think of anything?
I mean, I believe my photography's okay but not spectacular. Spectacular is like YX-level. or Pro-level. all the pros are hackers okay.

I have to say, I'm pretty good at appearing to care when I'm slacking off. that being said, I don't do that often.


40: Do you use torrents? 

Nice try, lol.

41: When was the last time you paid for music? 

Does the concert count? If yes, then 9 September.
If no, then 1.5 years ago. 

42: Are you addicted to technology? 

Yes. It's bad, I know.

43: Pick a person (you don't need to give their name). How do you feel about them? Be as honest as you can get yourself to be. 

I love you.




ack, too cheesy. but yes (:

44: Do you check your computer's dictionary for the definition of words you'd otherwise feel confident about using during in-person interactions? Just to be sure? 

I actually check google. It's faster.


45: How heavily to you rely on spellcheck and autocorrect? 

Quite heavily, on iOS. I use it to increase my typing efficiency, when I know what I can get away with typing and not typing. it's useful as hell.

46: Have you ever gotten into an argument on the internet? Did you win? 

Not with a random person, no.
If you're talking about with people I know, then I always win, because it's usually the same person and that person just ends up going "OKAY FINE PIN YOU WIN" :D


47: Do you pause movies/TV shows if you have to go to the bathroom or the kitchen, or do you just let them keep playing? 

Of course I pause them. With the nature of stuff that I watch, crucial plot details can be missed super easily.

that is, anime and doctor who.

48: If you use a regular alarm clock, do you have it set to music or that obnoxious beeping? 

obnoxious beeping. you're not meant to enjoy it, lol.

49: Peter Pan? 

he's this green fairy guy. who steals children away to neverland.

50: How often do you fall up the stairs? 

not very, seeing as I don't have stairs.
who the hell falls up stairs anyway? that's damn retarded, lol.

perhaps dion D<

51: Do you pronounce "anti" as ant-eye or ant-ee? (Example: "That scene was very anticlimactic.") 

I think American pronunciation is kinda dumb. so, second one.

52: Do you pronounce "via" as vee-uh or vie-uh? (Example: "We can get there via Tremont Street.") 

Refer to Q51.

53: How often do you forget to close your parentheses?

almost never (except in math




Yes, I did that. I'm retarded lol.

And that's the end of that quiz. 
There's some pretty heated opinions in there, but I always try to be as honest as possible on these things. I think it's important to be honest. and I don't really mind putting my thoughts out there. that's why I blog, anyway.

It's off to Japan from 10th December for 2 weeks! ZW and I fly tmr at 2pm, and I'll be back at around 3am on 27th Dec. 

Would it be too shameless to request for a send-off party? hahaha.
See you. I''ll try to VLOG in japan. 

We're meeting Cyrus in tokyo, that's pretty cool. right, goodnight.

Deep Questions.

That's what this quiz was titled!
Anyway, 


1. What is more difficult for you, looking into someone's eyes when you are telling someone how you feel, or looking into someones eyes when they are telling you how they feel? 


I'm pretty sure it's the second one. I've already cleared the first.

2. Think of the last time you were REALLY angry. WHY were you angry? Do you still feel the same way? 


I plead the fifth. 
I would say I'm still kind of angry, but he wasn't actually being malicious so. 
Sigh.

3. You are on a flight from Honolulu to Chicago non-stop. There is a fire in the back of the plane. You have enough time to make ONE phone call. Who do you call? What do you tell them? 


I'd call my mum, to tell her I love her and thank her for everything. 
It would help if my dad was around also, so I could say it to the both of them.

4. You are at the doctor’s office and he has just informed you that you have approximately one month to live. Do you tell anyone/everyone you are going to die? What do you do with your remaining days? Would you be afraid? 


I guess I would? I'm not really one who's strong enough to withhold such information by myself. I'd spent it with my friends and family. They have always been the best of me.

Obligatory bucket-list time:
1. Tour the world.
2. fripSide concert
3. Drive. I want to drive.

I can't think of anymore.
Yes, I fear death. Don't we all?

but if it happens, it happens.

5. You can have one of the following two things. Which do you choose? Why? Love and Trust. 


Does love not encompass trust. 
Trick question.
Also, "trust" yup I am cracking up on the inside.

6. You are walking down the street on your way to work. There is a dog drowning in the canal on the side of the street. Your boss has told you if you are late even once more, you are fired. Do you take the time to save the dogs life? Why or Why not? 


I've seen this question before, I think. 
Save the dog, then run like hell.
Then again dogs can swim. 

well, if he doesn't understand that I was late because I saved a dog from DYING, he's not really worth working for anyway.

7. Would you rather be hurt by the one you trust the most or the one you love the most? 


Why is this like Q5.
Aha, the love doesn't have to be mutual. I get it.

then again, the trust doesn't have to be mutual either. I guess it would hurt more if it's the one I love the most?

8. Your best friend confesses that he/she has feelings for you more than just friendship. He/she is falling in love with you. What do you (or did you) do/say? 


See, this is why I don't have "best friends". I don't find the label healthy. I mean, it's pretty clear which people I'm closer to.

Depends on the gender. because I'm straight, haha. But if it's someone I can consider a "best friend", it would mean I can probably get along with her very well. so I'd probably give it a shot.

but yes, if there's nothing there, there's no point dragging it out, and you end up hurting the person. it'll be nice to have someone though.

9. Think of the last person who you know that died. You have the chance to give them 1 hour of life back, but you have to give up one year of yours. Do you do it? Why or Why not? 


Some distant relative, I guess.
I wouldn't do it. I barely knew them. This may sound harsh, but it's just what I would do.

10. Are you the kind of friend that you would want to have as a friend? 


the hell. It took me a while to understand this question.
Sure, I'm an awesome friend. 

11. Does love = sex? 


No.

12.Your boss tells your coworker that they have to let them go because of work shortage, and they are the newest employee. You have been there much longer. Your coworker has a family to support and no other means of income. Do you go to your boss and offer to leave the company? Why or Why not? 


No. I'd probably just put effort into helping my coworker secure employment somewhere else. I think that's more helpful.

Yes, Suits taught me this.

13.When was the last time you told someone HONESTLY how you felt regardless of how difficult it was for you to say? Who was it? What did you have to tell the person? 


Fuck you, question.
HANG ON HANG ON I SPOT A LOOPHOLE.

I told my mum that I didn't see the point in washing those t-shirts because they came in those new packets anyway and they were guaranteed to be clean. and it was easy. aha.

loopholeeeeee.


14. What would be (or what was) harder for you to tell a member of the opposite sex, you love them or that you do not love them back? 


depends on the person.
probably the second one though.

15. What do you think would be the hardest thing for you to give up? Why would it be hard to lose? 


my friends.
I quote, "My friends have always been the best of me."

16. Excluding romantic love, when was the last time you told someone you loved them. Who were they to you? 


I told my mum I loved her, like a few months back, during her birthday.
because parents are amazing people.

17. If there was one moment and one time in the last month what would you change and why? 


Does last month mean December or November?
I'll take it as December.

I would have called Fischer Audio earlier. Now I have to go collect my earphones tmr, and I'm flying off the next day.

ah, regrets.

18. Imagine it is a dark night, you are alone, it is raining outside, you hear someone walking around outside your window. WHO do you wish was there with you? 


IT IS A DARK KNIGHT.
sorry.

Wtf, is this question just, "who do you wish was stalking you?" 
No one, man. that's creepy.

19. Would you give a homeless person CPR if they were dying? Why or Why not?


Not considering the fact that I can't do CPR properly, this is still a dumb question.
Of course I would la.

 21.You are holding onto your grandmother’s hand and the hand of a newborn that you do not know as they hang over the edge of a cliff. You have to let one go to save the other. Who do you let fall to their death? What was your rationale for making the decision? 


I'm saving my grandmother.
Sorry, random newborn.

22. Are you old fashioned? 


Nope.
I'm just old, as the world keeps telling me.
Thank you, world. and that clown.

23. When was the last time you were nice to someone and did NOT expect anything in return for it?


At lunch?
This quiz is becoming increasingly shallow.

 24.Which would you choose, true love with a guarantee of a broken heart, or never loved at all? Why? 


first one.
Actually, having a broken heart sucks. But it's okay. the second option is really shit.
It borders on not being human.

25.If you could do anything or wish anything, what would it be?


reminds me of Madoka www
I want a TARDIS.

so that I can travel through space and time.
it's so damn convenient also.


Bam, I am done.
Too easy.

okay, shall go pack.

Quiz - 2

Little update on my life before I dive into this one.

Some of the guys came over just now, and we made lasagne. It's amazing, the pasta turned out really good, and after that we just watched wipeout haha.

Picture!


Looks good right?

It is.

I'll be organising Round 2 in January after I get back from japan, I think. Since Cyrus was like "bojio" and I thought, why not?

Anyway, I'm taking this weekend mainly to prep for my trip. Have to head to Crumpler to get the camera pouch, and then maybe to get another sweater and a scarf. I like scarves. I have to teach on Sunday, and then have to go to claim my earphones from Fisher Audio :D

or else I'll be stuck with using pink ones for the whole trip, heh.

It's currently 21:13. I'm kinda hungry, but then again, I missed dinner because I slept through it.
okay, quiz!

it's more or less over. I'm going to do this quiz, get some food, and maybe do my NTU app.


Are you reading any books right now? 


Not really, no. I went off reading books for a while.
I used to spam in like Y4-Y5 though. I would just sit on the sofa all day and finish whole books in hours.

I really need to read the Hunger Games series.
oh, and read Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy. that shit is gold.

even though the movie was shit ==

Do you ever count your steps when you walk? 


Isn't that incredibly Mary Poppins?
No.


Okay I'm going to break for dinner. 
Back. Let's finish this.

 Is it okay for guys to wear pink? 


Of course. Pink looks pretty good on some guys.
I have pink earphones, heh.

Do you still watch cartoons? 


I watch anime. That counts, I suppose. Since I'm at it, I might as well list the stuff I'm watching now.

From this season,
Kyoukai no Kanata
Unbreakable Machine-Doll
Tokyo Ravens
Monogatari Series Second Season
Kill la Kill

Previous seasons,
To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S
Puella Magi Madoka Magica

That's really little. But I dropped a lot of stuff due to reasons.

5cm/s.
Don't judge the fact that it's an animated movie. It's actually really good. 

because I hate cliches.

What do you drink with dinner? 


Usually it's Ribena. Or anything I can get my hands on, I'm not really picky.

Nope. I think people should count themselves lucky for that one.

Actually I'd eat anything for breakfast. Even ice cream.

What is your usual bedtime? 


My usual bedtime is, whenever I feel like it. 
It's true.


Are you lazy? 


YES.


When you were a kid, what did you dress up as for Halloween?


This is Singapore, so we didn't really have Halloween.
If we did, I'd probably go as a Dalek. Weeping Angels are too hard to do and basically require spray painting your entire body with silver paint.


 Do you have any magazine subscriptions?


Nada. Nope. zilch.

Afraid of heights? 


Yes. It's one of my failings T.T

Sing in the car? 


I sing everywhere. But I don't usually sing in the car because my family will judge me.

Dance in the shower?


No. I do sing and air drum though. because I listen to music while I shower.
That's how I time them. It's usually one song.

Well, if the song is Decade it's like 1/2 a song. That song is so damn long.

 Dance in the car?


wtf I'm pretty sure that's dangerous. Even if you're not the driver.


 Ever used a gun? 


Nerf guns? That counts, right.
The closest was that gun we tried at OCS i think. But that was blanks though.

I do hope I don't actually have to shoot anyone, in my entire life.


Do you think musicals are cheesy? 

Yes.

the current one. I'm teaching tuition :D
and it's nice because it's slack but sometimes it's frustrating when the students don't get what I'm saying.
or when they don't do their homework. It makes my job more slack, but I don't want their parents to waste their money :(

that zoo one. Come to think of it, that was really not worth the money.

What magazines do you read, if any?

 If you were suddenly really hungry, what would you choose to eat? 

well, that's a tough one, because

Choice is usually an illusion, because I don't really have a choice in this case because it would have to be something in my house.

but then again, I could fly to, for instance, Russia, to get some vodka or something, just that I wouldn't be willing to because the costs far outweigh the benefits.

Right now I want Tako Yaki. Unagi would work though.
