I just learnt something despicable about you. I wondered what happened to you- each time we meet we seem to hide more and more from each other. You know I can see through you the same way I know you can read me well yet we still continue to conceal the details from each other. Both of us are the most open people and yet we use many truths to cover the many lies that we have as well. How ironic? Perhaps we prefer to deceive each other to preserve our relationship, but the cracks will soon widen and then what?

Stop trying to read in between the lines, i speak in riddles such that only the person whom i am directing can understand. So too bad for you, if you were trying to fish out anything from my life. Why don't you do something more constructive for the time being like studying? School terms are starting soon and some have to take exams as well.

Gosh, i really ought to cut down on all these complaining. Every time i am out with my friends, nothing but comparing and complaining our miserable lives. We are complaining to each other everyday and yet we still never run out of misery to complain. I think everyone else is feeling a bit bored and tired of all these complaining.

On a lighter note, i managed to catch Toy Story 3!!!. I had to take a cab to the cinema just to ensure that i do not miss anything much of the show. And thankfully i got to the cinema just where the show started. Cool show, really reminded me of my childhood and growing up. I also felt that this show was more geared towards my generation instead of the young batch of children, considering my generation was the one where they had the previous two sequel.

Go catch this show, it is not as childish as it appears to be. In fact, pixar films are getting more and more matured to suit the adult parents who are watching with their children. It might have been slightly overdone, considering some kids may not truly appreciate the underlying storyline the movie was showing.

What is the worst that could happen? 4 X out field (again, sigh) and having to stay back every Saturday till i get to pass my SOC. I will get over enough, eventually. Others, i am not too sure. That double blow they received on that day of the posting was pretty bad, but at least we have each other to suffer together.

As for that night, hopefully, all misery is already spilled out. Definitely gone a bit too wild but consider it as me returning the favor. The total number of hours we spent together was pretty long for a bonding session. Getting to know the real you, when you are not really yourself that night. Interesting, but i don't really want to do it again.

If you wondered how the other free time are spent in camp, allow me to be informative of my routine during free time. We have bridging session, which i often win because i always went for like 3-4 no trump with 3-4 aces and following sets in my hands. Then there is newspaper reading. Usually you start of with the comic sessions in the life section and then you cover the rest of the life section. But you see, sometimes there is so much free time, you can afford to cover other sections as well, my favorites since young has always been the complaint-filled section, mainly insights, forums and reviews. It is damn entertaining to see how these writers sometimes commit themselves to certain unforgivable fallacies. You get a funny oxymoron at times like incomplete all-rounders.

Anyway, its because of these free time that i become more socially aware of the state of the world today. I bet i am even more aware of these current affairs that my other peers who are out there working or studying or idling their time away. I know of the current bilateral relationship developments between us and our neighbours, the current and fragile state of thailand, the increasing intense war of words between the two korean countries, the scent of that oil spill and its clean-up.

Like I am preparing for a GP exam already.

Speaking of the N/S Korean issue, I had this S.Korean bunkmate of mine and he can be seen really patriotic about his country , checking on the news daily and sharing his hatred as well as anxiety especially when war may just be about to break out anytime soon. Shows that he really do care for his country, something that we guys are supposed to be taught with.

If you, my Korean friend, are reading this, i must say you are of the most polite and caring friend i have ever known. Especially during last night when i was kind of all over the place, i thank you for putting up with all the trouble i am causing. I was grateful you didn't just leave me in deep shit at the place like what your other friends might have done. Salute you man.

From the 48 laws of power.

Life is damn dangerous these days and it is only to get even more so. The threat of losing weekends is so common and I have had too many of those experiences already. I can't afford to be that lucky all the time to escape scott-free. Actually i am not too sure if I should consider myself lucky/unfortunate- unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong person or objects, but lucky enough to left ignored all the time.

Three more weeks left to play the perfect courtier and perhaps maybe a lifetime career as a modern courtier in the competitive working society.

Law-rush through a 15 min essay with two topics to choose from:

1. Some lives deserve death. Some die deserves life. Can you just give it to them? Should we deal out death simply for the sake of justice and out of our own safety?

2. Task without vision is drudgery,

vision without task is a dream,

but task with vision can give you success and happiness in life. Discuss.

I was so stunned by both questions and to make matters worse the person beside me started writing straight away upon seeing the question. Took me a while to recollect my thoughts and to pen down my points on that essay and i didn't even finish till the end of the bottom of the first page when they said time's out. That's quite bad, cause what i wrote is not even like half the length of a A4 paper.

After which, we were grouped into groups of three. Thank god i met my bunk mate there and we got to go into the same interview group. The interview took in the form of a mini-debate. One person for a case for allowing performance enhancing drugs to be allowed in sports, the other against and the last person to be the judge. I was really thankful that i got to bring out most of my points cause my opponents kept getting interjected all the time that she didn't manage to finish her rebuttal and move on to her points. Oh, by the way, being the judge sucks cause you don't really have a point yourself and it is a bit difficult for you to shine in that interview.

That took about like 25 mins with lots of digressing to ginseng and F1 races and then it was over. Pretty fast interview. Started at 0815 and the whole thing ended before 0930.

I had lunch with Jean, Elicia and ELMO yesterday at NYDC!!!

If you cant have all off it on the menu, you take a photograph of it instead!!!

Shopping spree!!!

Jean thinks her photo timings were really good..

After Lunch, we ended up having a book hunt at Bras Basah Shopping complex. There are several second hand book stores there run by mostly Indians that sells old-school books that you read when you are a child, like goosebumps, animorphs .etc I was actually looking for a book on chess, really difficult to find and end up looking for old graphic novels, so old that the pages are turning yellow. But in the end, my attention landed in a shop that specifically sells books on fashion, designing, interior designing, architecture, manga drawing, animation and everything else on art. Super cool shop for learning art concepts and getting inspiration.

I got this book that has a 1000 over web design layouts. And there was apparently two of it left when i got it, one that was browsed through by a lot of people and one brand new one. I got the the brand new one whereas there was this person who had already been standing there very long only managed to got the less new one.

Need to finish at least 20 personal projects by myself for my portfolio by the end of this year and i not too sure if i have the time to do so. But at least i am already on my first!!! wooo!!!

2 more weeks and i will be through!!!! At least without all the major events there is more personal time now, i even got time to draw now!!!
