Ikan Bilis

Posted in Academic Gripes, Thoughts? on January 26, 2009 | No Comments »

I feel like I’m an ikan bilis who wants to become a blue fin tuna.
In music, and in academic aspirations.
This sucks.
Anyway, happy chinese new year to anyone who’s reading.

Angry.

Posted in Academic Gripes on September 4, 2008 | No Comments »

I despise feeling inadequate. Well, who does anyway? It’s even worse when people around you seem to be churning out ideas like a mill while you just sit and stone at the com, waiting for the tiniest semblance of a brain fart to happen. I wish. Not that I’m envying anyone. I just wonder why I can’t. [...]

Symptoms of Examination Blues (generalised version)

Posted in Academic Gripes, Mad Mumblings on November 22, 2007 | No Comments »

1) Social Withdrawal: Self quarantine at home (in order to avoid external pressure and more stress by the chao muggers at central library.) which in turn leads to feelings of isolation and yearning for human contact.
2) Feelings of ‘high-ness’ at odd hours: Possibly due to accumulated stress in addition to caffeine overdose.
3) Avoidance: Taking short naps in attempt to enter [...]

Yes yes I know I haven’t touched this thing since August. And no, I haven’t abandoned blogging. It’s just that…Well, I have been pretty busy with school.
In my 2 months of abscence from blogging I discovered:
a) I’m NOT made to be a nerd. (i.e the ‘I open my eyes must study, after school must study, if I’m not sleeping, breathing, [...]

Cooked.

Posted in Academic Gripes, Life on March 11, 2007 | 1 Comment »

Just wanna jump into my bed, cuddle up with my soft toys and leave all my tasks at hand on hiatus, even if the deadlines are screaming at me. It is only when I’m feeling stressed out and with a bad case of PMS that I realise how comfy my bed is, and how cuddly comforting my soft [...]

WHEE.

Saying I suck at math is an understatement. Once during sec 3 or so, I was 3rd in the level for E maths. From the bottom that is. (Oops. That was supposed to be a secret. Hee.) Obviously after those unflattering results, I was made to drop A maths as well.  Leann and I used to spend the entire [...]

Migraine Blues

Posted in Academic Gripes on February 9, 2007 | No Comments »

I don’t get it why there are so many barriers to me getting done with my term paper. First writer’s block, unproductivity and now this bad migraine that I have been having since 4 pm. Two panadols and forty winks later, I’m feeling slightly better but I don’t really feel well enough to attempt my paper. Sigh. Why [...]

4.28am

I’ve only had close to around 3 hours sleep the night before. 2 cups of coffee later (and a minor tummy upset), I’m alternating between a caffeine-induced high and having a brain in suspended state of animation. For once, it is peaceful and quiet at the Engin bridge, save for the sounds from the liquid [...]

Unless…

Posted in Academic Gripes, etcetera on October 29, 2006 | No Comments »

Unless by some miracle I somehow grow an extra brain, I’m not sure if I can carry on writing a good Lit essay. My ideas are coming out all disconnected and plain corny. It’s 5am as I type this, I am extremely wide awake, surprisingly even more so as compared to 2-3 hours ago,  I haven’t showered yet and my [...]
