Oh damn. 3 days of water fasting. And 20mins of jogging. Running for train. etc.

I broke the fast by drinking a mouthful of milo this afternoon in the pantry today. Can't help it. Was freezing in office and my nails were turning black. Standing up would give me quite bad dizzy spells.

I'm breaking the fast tonight.. with fruits. =/

Dinner. blood again.




Mon 0644: However late this is, i just realized how reciprocative i was and how brave you were. I hope you are really happy now.
Quite a bit of blood earlier on. I tried coughing again and there's only slight trace this time round.


Red spots are appearing on my face. I'm quite sure they aren't freckles. Those on my forehead and the region around my nose bridge aren't freckles. The rest(on my cheek bones etc) are. Confusing, I know.



fuck man. this is NOT good.


12:20AM
Hopefully they are only coughing spots.


Coughing Spots
Why would your child break out in spots all over his face after coughing? It's due to the straining and increased pressure caused by coughing. These spots, called petechiae, occur when the smallest blood vessels, the capillaries, break open. The increased pressure on the blood vessels causes the capillaries, the weakest link in the blood vessel system, to pop open, releasing small amounts of blood under the skin.

These "blood spots" are usually confined to the face, although they may occur in other places. The coughing spell is usually strong enough to first cause your child's face to turn red, and then the spots appear. If they are confined to the child's face, and there are no other signs of bleeding problems, there's no need for concern. If the petechiae occur in a child who hasn't been coughing, appear in many different areas of the skin, or are accompanied by other signs and symptoms of bleeding problems (bloody nose, blood in the urine or stool, or areas of bruises for no apparent reason) a visit to the doctor is needed.

12:30AM
This is worrying.
---
Petechiae can occur during certain illnesses and may be a sign of serious disease. An infection in the blood stream caused by bacteria (Meningococcus being the most dangerous) or some blood disorders can also cause these blood spots. Therefore, a child who develops petechiae should be seen by their pediatrician. The physician will check the child for petechiae elsewhere on the body and exam the youngster for other signs of illness.

But it seems to happen only to children?

Just a feel of how fast they go.

..from this..


.. to this!


.. this runs on fuel. as much maintenance(tyres, engine, spark plugs, suspension etc) as a real one, just on a smaller scale. Afterall, it's top speed is about 80km/h.

Quoted wikipedia:
Fuel-powered models

"Ready-to-run" fuel powered cars (commonly abbreviated to "RTR") can be purchased, which leave the factory in a pre-tuned condition that affords for good racing performance without prior adjustment. Alternatively, composite vehicles can be purchased that are either in kit form or are partially assembled, which are built and tuned by the owner prior to use.

Fuel-powered engines allow model cars to reach impressive speeds, with much higher top speeds than electric cars. Maximum power is generally achieved at medium to high speeds, and a slightly slower throttle response than electrically-powered vehicles is usually expected. This is because in an electric motor, the torque is instantaneous; in a nitro engine, as in a gasoline engine, it takes time for the engine to spool up and for the clutch to engage. Although this is slower than an electric motor, it is hardly noticeable because it all happens within milliseconds.

One disadvantage of fuel-powered engines is the dirt produced; a short five-minute run of such an engine is sufficient to coat the vehicle in dirt from fuel combustion. Cleaning is usually achieved by the use of compressed air blowers and solvents (such as denatured alcohol), because of the stubborn nature of the exhaust residue and fuel that tends to cover the chassis. Tuning a fuel-powered vehicle requires some skill to maintain optimum performance, fuel economy, and to keep the engine from overheating, even in ready-to-run vehicles. Because of the higher performance and their ability to be driven for longer periods of time, mechanical wear to the vehicle is generally greater than in electrics. In addition, the increased speed and weight of fuel-powered vehicles generally leads to collisions causing greater damage to the collided vehicles, and some degree of safety concern needs to be considered when racing them.

newest addition to the family


..some robot passed down from my dad's generation or something. it is partially made of tin. Go figure.
Itching to do something insane.

I feel very. bored.

Sick of music. Sigh.






something's not quite right
I'm holding on to too much junk. Both physically and mentally. Still rather reluctant to chuck them out.
This is depressing. I am gaining weight and I don't think I'm looking anything like J2 days.


HAHA. okay.

Anyway you would have probably crapped yourself if I powdered my face white when I was a kid.

yes, still in the midst of spring cleaning

Saturday, August 26, 2006





finally it's time to move on.

Thursday, August 24, 2006

I'm so damn tired.

And for some weird reason I am irritated by music. Almost all genres.


I can't seem to figure out where's the source of sandflies.

More bites. Daily. Chronologically they go, right calf, left shin, left elbow, right ankle, left shoulder.

Wednesday, August 23, 2006

Damn. Almost late this morning.


I saw. 2 minutes. Marina Bay.

Instinctively, I started running for the train. Running real fast.

To realize that I took the wrong train only when the door closed.



knn.

23yo uni student.

Only child.

Early this morning.

Pioneer road.

Silver Subaru Impreza WRX.

100metres trail of damage; knocked 2 taxis, few lamp posts, 2 trees uprooted, car wrecked and in flames, trapped and died.


condolences
There's hamster in the office next door!

Yeah, typing and more typing, picking up of phone calls etc.


Anyway there's a senior that wrote a really cool program in (2001) that has Kenny (from southpark) that counts down to your ORD date! I'm trying to get hold of that.

And. There's no internet on the coms we have, only intranet so don't think we are surfing the net all day long. How I wish.



Added at 7pm:

I found it!
here's a screenie.


Cute? :DD

I'll been following this thread on the forum I frequent.

Old topic, but nonetheless interesting.

So how exactly do you define a couple being rich? Or rather, I would like to rephrase it, what exactly is being rich?

  • Drawing a high income?

  • Living well with nice clothes, cars, property on realistic loans?

  • Having a minimum income?

  • Having a income above average?

  • Income that suffice spendings?

  • Having abundant liquid cash?



  • For me, it's the last bullet. Yeah. I'm the type who prefer to have them fluid.
    Mon 1507: Its so eerie.. The sound of the keyboard keys and the clock ticking away..
    Mon 0955: Umm! The day starts off with reading newspaper!
    Mon 0857: Anyway i have like sandfly bites in vertical columns of three. First on my right calf and now on left shin. Argh. I think its my mattress-probably played host to some insects in the months i was away.
    Mon 0844: Wah shiok. Had a light run. Now we are heading off for breakfast. Work will only start at ten. Whee~
    Sun 2137: Doing grocery. This is crazy. Sneezing like hell for no reason.
    Should be obvious where this is unless you've never been to any NDPs in your entire life (including the one you went in P5.)

    It's so amazing.

    I remember crying when I was primary 5 or so. It was a 'camp'. Staying away from home for a mere 3 days. And freaking out again when I was secondary one and two. Barely living with it when I was in secondary 3.


    And now what. I'm somewhat fine, grudgingly, with staying away from home - at least it's tolerable. 24+31+30+31+17=133 A total of +-133 days away from home. Of communal living. Waking up early and having 5BX-es. Queueing up for every meal. Of cold shower. Of having to crap when I'm not at home.


    Having to poop outside of home is really something for me. haha. Well, the record of me pooping in all the schools I've attended goes. Once in primary five. Once in secondary one. Once in secondary two. Twice in JC. Umm. -using one hand to count- That would be five times in total. And the total number I've done my business when I was away from home for these four months or so is bigger, perhaps once every three to four days or once a week. haha.



    Now it's 8-5(7-6 in reality) and I thank God for it.

    kami-san wa, arigato.
    =D
    20th-26th august 06


    Fri 0834: Sometimes i wonder why happy ppl are often those that are disease-stricken, last stage of cancer, etc. feeling rather sad and helpless now.
    Wed 0649: Fuck. I ran for the wrong train and im on the wrong one. Thought i was going to school. Argh.
    I'm aging day by day.



    Right. My life has finally settled down and now it's time to start packing my stuff that I've laid out all over on my floor. I need some reorganization as well.





    Here's a stupid site done up by a hugeass company and saying things like, "Heroes fall in a second due to lag," "An entire race can be wiped out in seconds." And it goes on. Click here

    Saturday, August 19, 2006

    Stunned momentarily by the view, you stand staring at a realm seemingly
    infinite. A world of mirrors, of reflections, of innermost selves. A world of
    despair.

    Endless walls of reflections surround you, uncertain to whether it is a room, a
    hallway, or even another world entirely that you are standing in. But one thing
    is for certain. That you are in Despair. In the very heart of Despair, where
    every cry, scream and agony is given birth.

    You come to a fork, one such as the many you have journeyed passed so often
    in the course of your existence. A crossroad of choices, leading to the
    unknown, choices which once are made are irreversible.

    Having made the choice of path, forsaking the opportunity of another for this
    path, you journey to a turn in the path. Thoughts race through your mind, what
    have you sacrificed for the choices you have ever made, as with the choice of
    the other path for this path. Perhaps its all for naught.

    A path straightforward, yet. Its destination unavoidable, confining you to
    its boundaries. Be it for good or for the worst, its passengers are forced to
    accept it. There is no choice, there is no hope.

    A turn in the path. One unexpected yet expected, as turns are always there in
    paths. Turns unwanted, undesired that are to be obeyed, for stepping off the
    path leads to even worse destinations.

    Why do all paths leads to emptiness, to despair? Why is all things in the
    end end in despairm in emptiness? It is because there is nothing. There is only
    despair at the end of the road. She awaits you.

    The tombs, resting place for which will soon rot to nothing. Thus it ends.
    And all comes here in its end. Amounting to nothing, only despair.
    You are blind. You see nothing. There are only feelings of direction and a
    sense of your surroundings. And there is nothing.

    Life, often spoken off as sweet, kind, wonderous. Yet how many living really
    open their eyes to see? To see the callousness, the misery, the pain and
    injustice of life. How many have the courage to have his eyes opened! The
    despair of life itself.

    Relationships, the causes of the many fronts we all have to invent and to wear
    at all times. The images that has to be precisely projected, least one becomes
    the laugh stock. The pain and the utter humilation from a failed image. True
    self is worst.

    The lies of images to put worn at all times, the strain it has on ones' true
    self. The stress, the preasure of image. Revealing ones' true identity is
    unthinkable. The consequences of being an outcast, the finger-pointing, the
    looks.

    Family, they are but means of survival. To a certain point in time. Then they
    transform and becomes parasites of your life, adding to the dismay that is
    already threatening to tear you apart.

    The stories of love, great and romantic. But, thats all they ever are and will
    be, mere stories, fairy tales to give false hopes, dreams to the foolish. It
    plants the seed deep within each of its victims. When the time is ripe, it
    springs out in full bloom feeding on the pain and agony of love lost.

    Mere gimmicks of the society, the icing on the awaiting vicious beast, love.
    There are countless lies that hides its true form, the form that springs thorns
    from all angles, poised to strike at any unsuspecting and hopeful victims,
    brainwashed by the lies of stories of love.

    People, wolves in sheeps' clothings, all of them are. Leeches that seeks out
    each and every opportunity to gain from one another no matter the price the
    other has to pay. Misery, pain, even death of the other means nothing, only
    gains has a voice amongst people.

    The purposes of gifts, momentor and token. They are there to remind the
    recipent that he or she owes the giver. It is a boon, a demand, even a warning.
    Gifts conveys all these messages.

    The tale, complaint, woe that lies behind each gift. The thoughts, feelings,
    misery of the giver to wards the recipent. The shout of anger, wrapped in
    beautiful ribbons, patiently waiting for the gains it expects for the gift.
    Gifts being the deposit or trade of benefits.

    All things, be material or immaterial, they crumble to dust one final day. The
    chase, the effort, the sacrifices for such finite and limited society deemed
    neccessities, are they actually worth the pain?

    Assets that we gather to ourselves over the years. Things both material and
    immaterial. The time and effort, mental and physical energy, all spent in the
    rat race for assets. Imagine the despair in failure, then imagine that despair
    you have given to so many who has failed in competition with you.

    To have one who succeeds, there has to be a failure. Consider the failures you
    have forced down the throats of others to attain your own success! The lives
    you have destroyed both conciously and unconciously. The success you leeched
    off on the misery of others!

    It shows nothing.

    There is nothing.

    They are nothing.

    They prove nothing.

    They amount to nothing.

    They've given nothing.

    It has nothing.

    It leads to nothing.

    Be surrounded by the despair that is real and has always been there.

    Fall deep into Despair and relish in her embrace.

    Things are starting to bug me and I don't reckon I'll be able to fall asleep tonight, or at least, not till it's way past midnight.



    Anyway I'm kinda amazed - how far I am now (in this damned service). I believe, five months ago, and if you were to ask me if I'm okay with staying away from home for more than a day, I am so certain that I would have said no.


    On a random note though, there's no point in changing phones or getting a mp3 player until 06feb08.






    Saturday, August 12, 2006

    And we're at it again, I turn around another fucking war, man
    I don't know where to begin, but I'll start with the radical leaders
    Their steps we're followin'

    Running, don't go back and fight, too many you'll lose
    (And as clowns you follow suit behind the blood between the red and white and blue but it's too deep for you to see and
    everyone eventually will take the step cause it's in sight you take the left I'll take the right I fell the hate you've built
    for me and I say pay attention baby)

    As they thank the Lord the blind can't see
    Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease

    But it wasn't a sin, a sorry life in judging every action
    And as they're feeding your mind with this shit you forgot
    How to speak how to ask all the questions

    The business at hand tonight, make the people choose
    (I see another side in you but there's not much more I can do from on the outside looking in your government is listenin' to
    push you on the story of immortal father mortal son give them your mind and all your wealth the cycle will rebirth itself)
    If they had it their way I'd burn in Hell and your future's a fuckin' disaster can't you see
    Don't give them all the power when your future's in desperate trouble baby

    As they thank the Lord the blind can't see
    Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease
    I'd run away tonight with my mind still intact you gotta make it alright
    Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to (run)
    Running away from condition, I see you but you're running away from
    Your scared seductive system

    Most would claim I live a lie when pointing out it's easy to predict these things
    Every color has its side, they live together vote and most won't read between these lines
    Please help us, please save us of course they have control we're all the same
    Up on the cross, crucified their problem drove the nail and let Him rot
    Family and friends, it won't matter in the end I'm sure they'll understand Now look at the world and see how the humans bleed
    As I sit up here and wonder "bout how you sold your mind, body and soul
    Looking at the fields so green I know this sounds obscene
    I see you're living for tomorrow but decisions you have made will leave you empty

    As they thank the Lord the blind can't see
    Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease
    I'd run away tonight with my mind still intact you gotta make it alright
    Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to run

    You've fallen asleep here in denial
    Look at the way we're dyin'
    How it ends I'll never know
    Just live your life blind like me

    Yes yes, you can see abit of my old fringe coming back eh. I don't wanna cut my hair ='/ -but they are forcing us to.. cut today.





    PS: I didn't whiteout my face on purpose. I don't know why the camera failed to capture it. Maybe the microchip on my phone screwed up due to the strong contrast between the hair and face color.
