Hm, I forgot to go to Tessa's party. Whoops... Oh well. Whoops.

I think I read into people's behaviours a little too much. Kinda random to say it huh? Yeah well, its not that random since I sorta did that to Malcolm when I was hanging out with him and his groupie, namely Hannah and Kieran. Hannah being Malcolm's crush, or unofficial girlfriend I think. I guess it wasn't a biggie, but oh well, he did seem a tad hostile at the time, which when I mentioned to him off-handedly sometime later he denied, saying he was pressured. Makes sense after all, since he did have a test, but I got him completely worked up about it too. Which made me feel kinda guilty.

Damn. Crazy me. On a really random note, I believe I might be improving at Gin. You know, that card game. And my playing technique at 500 has probably improved through absorbing all that skill from watching Jack and his lot play. Haha.

Have you ever heard the "mathdebate" joke? Its one terrible joke, but oh my, it was completely hilarious in context when Jack was using it on Daniel and Martin. Especially considering they start debates on mathematics.

Egads, a CV?

Its Anzac Day today, which means I don't have lectures. Joy! On the other hand, gym is closed, so... oh well.

I've just noticed that I only seem to post once every Friday these days... I should probably do something about that, maybe when I get some time to myself at home though. Career's Day for Engineering was on Tuesday and Wednesday... and I got me heaps of freebies. Haha, like a free first-aid kit from Hatch, or random as torchlights, and even a Post-It pen. Awesome huh?

I got my results for the Bio test too, and I got... 87%. Must say I'm really happy with my marks, although I'm, as usual, a little disappointed I didn't do as well as I intended. (I know, I'm like really insanely competitive at times). But hey, who ever said I would be completely happy with being beaten by about 5-10% of the class anyway?

I've really got to start applying to the engineering firms for a summer internship job... I'm sooo clueless on how to write a CV though. I don't even know what goes in one either! *panics* Anyone wanna help?

1. What was your dream during childhood?

Uhm, this sounds kinda weird. But I used to dream about having an identical twin brother. So we can hatch devious plans together. Even though it was sorta inconsistent since my twin had green eyes... Odd huh? It really does sound silly...


2. Do you like sunny or rainy days? Why?

Sunny, mainly because I don't like rainy days (those depress me heaps). Also since its fun. I prefer cloudy days more though.


3. Which color do you like better? Black/white?

Black. It goes well on everyone. Like a black tux with a black bow tie, and black lace-ups. Wow. No black shirt though. Black overcoat, and black pants also.


4. Who would you marry?

Someone I love. Anyone I want to be with for a while. At least for a few years. And who isn't opposed to a prenup, just in case.


5. Where do you want to go most? Why?

Hmm, the most... maybe... right now... the States. Why? So I can have an epic road trip with my mates.


6. Which part of yourself do you love most?

The one which likes to think about the subtle nuances in everything. Which, incidentally, is the part which also picks up on people's fashion tastes. And Crocs are still a crime.


7. When you encounter a sad moment, what do you do?

Uhm, maybe one of the following:

Go drinking with mates, hang out with mates, mope around for a little while.


8. What are you afraid of losing the most?

I'd say friends, but thats not really it. I guess its just company and the joy it brings.


9. If you met someone you loved, would you confess? Or just keep it a secret, observing?

There's never a clear answer to this kind of situation...


10. List out 3 good points of the person who tagged you.

Sandra:

She writes nice blog posts which I enjoy reading.

She has good taste in cafe food and alcohol, which I respect.

She's very eloquent in expressing her thoughts (or pondering moments I guess)


11. What are the requirements you wish for the other half?

Good looking enough (the basic requirement imposed, ya know? I'm not that shallow), must be cuddle-able, and accepts whatever small differences we may have.


12. Up to now, what are the moments you regret the most?

The most? Uhm. I'd rather not say.


13. Which type of person do you hate the most?

Currently, the one who thinks they know everything, and acts like a pompous arrogant ass. Bonus hate points if they are wearing Crocs.


14. What is your ambition?

My ambition is rather ambitious I think, and impossible given current technological advances. Not to mention entirely unethical (or some people say it is). To advance genetic engineering to the extent that human development potential can be maximised.


15. Would you rather be someone else at this moment?

Right now, at this moment? Hmm, depends on whether its temporary or permanent. Permanent, not really. Temporary? Lots. Its kinda fun to go body-hopping, I would think.


16. If you can have 2 dreams to come true, what will it be?

To be happy and successful. To settle with someone in bliss and peace. Cheesy eh?


17. What do you think is most important in your life?

Finding meaning and fulfillment in life, even from my job.


18. Who’s your favorite cartoon character?

Uhm... cartoons cartoons... Bart Simpson? Can I say my favorite character from a drama instead? I'll say Denny Krane from Boston Legal.


19. What will you do if the world ends tomorrow?

If it ended tomorrow? I'd find everyone I know and have a party, "for tomorrow we die". And try and settle petty disputes with people I know aren't too bad deep down (or at least to my point of tolerance)


20. The most worthwhile decision you’ve made in your life so far?
    Hm. I guess in a way, although this sounds sad, choosing not to return to Malaysia for my education. In a way, I never was happy there. Here, I feel free. Not politically free, just free.
    

And I don't tag anyone. But if you feel obliged to make one, do so anyway. I think people could benefit from sharing some things about themselves.

Just today...

My holidays are like, over already, and I still haven't finished my assignments. Well, in my defense, I've been doing them at an abysmal rate, and mostly taking the time to sleep in and go to gym, so I don't think I was making good progress anyway. At least I managed to compile the appendices for my reports, so all that's left is to write it out, which hopefully should be done in a day.

I saw some guy who reminded me of this Canadian dude I met, Cody, at Rotorua this morning cycling down Symonds while I was on the bus... Odd huh, how you suddenly remember some people randomly. I wonder how he's doing anyway, like if he's gone back to Canada or something already... I remember him saying he and Ryan were going to Australia. Anyway, he was one cool dude. I suppose life's full of random little meetings like this, ah?

Alive...barely

Hell, that was one blip of two weeks gone by. I've been so busy doing study for my test, and all the assignments. Gah, but that was quite a bit of work.

Haha, at least I've got a one week break, and 36% of my Biology course is accounted for. Although, on the downside, I've got another lab report and a Stats Assignment to complete. Oh well.

On a random aside, I can't believe I'm so unobservant at times. I've already had two Biology labs prior to my last on Wednesday, but that Wednesday, I managed to get to my lab earlier than usual, which meant quite early after all. So sitting down, I kinda looked at the people coming in... and WOW! One of the hottest chicks that I noticed in Bio came in.

Perhaps I was tired, or perhaps it was because I liked the particular coat she was wearing (I've always thought girls wearing that were pretty, and no, it wasn't a lab coat). But I thought she was hot. I've got to find out who she is, if only Tessa and Rebecca (from Biomedical Engineering) weren't sitting in between her and me, it'd be easier for me to interact with her on the pretext of being very very slow with the microscope =P

Oh dear, I don't believe I just said that. Uhh. Yeah. Did I mention that the current batch on freshies coming into Engineering (in terms of girls) are getting prettier/hotter? Not entirely sure if its due to: a) more girls (and therefore a higher proportion of pretty ones) coming into engineering OR b) my standards dropping (which might be an alarming sign, since I'd shudder to think of what would happen in my 4th year)

I think I've picked up a new habit (well, an old habit, but new for the year): Cards. I've been watching Jack play 500, which I find to be a rather engaging game. Don't really want to play with them, since well... they're really good. I guess you could say that you only learn by playing, but I think I'll play with other people first. Jack also taught me Rummy Cup and Gin, so I've been playing that quite a bit too.

Hmm, I haven't been to Shadz in sometime, probably should go during the week back when classes start.

Damn, sleepy. I'll probably write more when I'm feeling less uh, insane? And more rested.

P/S: I do realise I just wrote an insane amount of crap. Sorry...
