yay, I'm done with finals, and I'm packin my bags right now to head for "home". Wooohooo. I feel like breaking open a bottle of champaigne, but sadly, I do not have a bottle. But you bet i'll be drinkin it up on the plane, squeezing every fuckin penny I can from this plane ride. "More peanuts please", "More bread please", "another glass of your finiest free wine".
Woohoo.
See ya in 2 days folks.

So today Noam, came into my room after reading some stuff about his test on Business law, and asked me If I knew what the 1st amendment was. I gave him my frank answer. NOPE. Seriosuly, I could care less what it was. ya see, I'm the kinda guy who doesnt know much about everything, but what I know of, I know well. You can ask me about cars, and I'd know more than anyone could ever need. But ask me about politics, and I know nothing. I dont know if this is indeed a bad thing, cos apparently, its good to have some knowledge in everything. However, I have always believed that if you do something, do it right. And in the same sense, I always want to know a lot about everything that interests me. some part of me says that I should be ashamed cos, this is the country that I live in and I dont even know anything about the basic 10 rules that the founders of this country have enforced upon us, most importatnly freedom of speech. But another part of me just doesnt give a shit. And it scares me a little, that a lot of times, I really dont care about a lot of stuff. I dont care that I have to be nice to everyone all the time. I dont care that I piss people off. I dont care that I occasionally use people to get what I want and then stop talkin to them, until I want something again. I dont care, that lot of my friends actually say thoughtful things in their blogs, and all i have to say is "I did well on my test", or "cappy did something" or "I'm happy i got to talk to my girl" or some stuff like that. It really makes me wonder if I am normal, or whether, everyone who has a journal just likes to think a lot. But 2 seconds into the thought, I realise whatever, I dont care.
So take care folks.

Final Final

Ah my last final is right around the corner. The next few days will be spent holed up at Rogers Hall, with the "Star Students", studying my ass off for Heat and Mass transfer. Well, most of it anyway, I'm sure drinking , drawing and fucking around will be part of the agenda too. And before that , I'll be stuck trying to work 6-7 hrs a day so I can bring back as much money as possible, so that I can afford the microwave for my mommy and the first down payment on a plasma tv for my dad. I'm a generous fool.
P.S: Ting, if you read this, I would really like to talk to you to discuss our plans for Christmas, cos I need to ask you a coupla questions before I make reservations at the places I want to make them. Also, we need to figure out the whole Hotel thing. So dont get annoyed at me when I try without luck to reach you :-p.
Have a great 3 days folks, and have a safe trip Wen. Bon Voyage. I will catch up with you when I'm in Singapore I suppose. Andre, I promise I'll do my part to hang out more, and not be a loser and stay at home, and sleep early. Take it easy ladies and Gentlemen, and till the next time I blog, be it before I leave or when I'm "home". Peace.

Going to work sick, was a bad mistake. Though I managed to get almost everything done, the reprecussions when I came home were not so good. But anyways, got free lunch from the staff members at work, cos it was "student appreciation" day.

Of Ferraris and sickness

Was driving around with Timothy tonight, tryin to get some random Shytt for the Hovercraft. And we came to this intersection, and my eyes, settled on this fuckin awesome Ferrari. I got to hand it to Enzo and Co. They made some really good looking automobiles. Someday I will own a Ferrari, or 2, or 3, or maybe If i really want to splurge, 4. What made me happier was that the guy driving it actually made a point to DRIVE it. Nothing like the loud rumble of a V8 , except for the loud rumble of a V12 of course. Anyways, I digress. Woke up this morning not feeling good. I thought maybe it was a hangover from me having 2 beers last night. But I discounted that since, 2 beers is hardly enough for my belly to feel warm. Sadly, after work, and my interview with the big boss, that went surprisingly well, I came home, only to partially collapse on my bed. Just took my temperature, and the verdict is, I'm sick. Bleah. Considering the timing, this isnt too good for business. At least I only need a 8 out of 25 to get a B+ in the class. Yes I'm that good :-p.

Ooh yea Wen, Sid Meiers Update: I got the damn slippers, and they helped me soooooo much. I went to every town with the beautiful daughters, and danced with them, and completed the ball without any problem. Good Idea with the pausing though. But I wonder what the button is for pause. I didnt try "p", but I pressed escape, and it gave me the menu of wheteher I wanna quit the game. But anyways, thanks a bunch for the advice. I have yet to raid cities. I wonder how you do that? Just fire upon them I suppose. Anyways, Good luck on the game :-p

Always a magical Sunday.

Woke up this morning from a really long night of partying. Prolly drank a little too much. Had a headache the whole day, but nothing, and I really mean NOTHING gets me off to a better start than talking to my girlfriend in the morning. She seems happy nowadays, and it makes me all the more happier too. I'm glad thats shes able to find time for us, given her crazy schedule. I'm an just so incredibly excited that I finally get to see her in 12 days and around 18 hours. My mom has suddenly been wondering why I am counting down the hours till I get home. Usually its my mom that tells me i have x number od days, and I'm like yea whatever. This blog isnt making any sorta sense, and I really dont care. I'm floating on a bubble of ecstasy, cos I had a good conversation with Ting today. And I was so shocked, when I mentioned as a joke when shes gonna get me an Ipod, and shes like "what color?" But anyways, need to get crackin at my homework. I'm soooo friggin in love.
P.S: the girl in Ting's blogger has a nice ass :-p

The scientist

Long day today. After staying up real late to get my design project done and ready for "show", I had totally been mentally drained. I wasnt really ready for my 11 hour day on campus today. Alas, the last 11 hour day of this semester. 6 days of school left. However, today I learnt why it was so important for me to actually be mentally active and responsive at work. I quite possibly got fired cos I didnt pay attention to a small detail, which ended up costing our university close to a thousand bucks. Not much money for a big institution such as ours, but quite a large sum of money to be wasted on something trivial, that I had forgotten to check. I felt like a complete idiot, cos I'm the one whos always said, if you wanna do something, do it perfect, or dont attempt it at all. But my boss said it was cool, and that it happens to the best of us. Comforting. I spent the rest of my time at work, listening to coldplay and finishing up what had been bottled up at work the past coupla days.

I have to admit, that Chris Martin from coldplay is an absolute genius when it comes to words. Its so sad, that after all these love songs, he proposed to Gweneth Palthrow over the fuckin phone. I love their videos, especially the scientist video. If you havent seen it, I recommend you catch it here. http://search.launch.yahoo.com/search/lsearch/all?p=scientist+coldplay
click on the "scientist" underlined word, not coldplay. ;-). Tell me that this isnt one of the awesomest videos ever. Oh well, enough of my writing, I shall let the lyrics ot my favorite song this week end my entry for today.

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah, they were all yellow.

I came along,
I wrote a song for you,
And all the things you do,
And it was called yellow.

So then I took my turn,
Oh what a thing to have done,
And it was all yellow.

Your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones,
Turn into something beautiful,
You know,
you know I love you so,
You know I love you so.

I swam across,
I jumped across for you,
Oh what a thing to do.
Cos you were all yellow,

I drew a line,
I drew a line for you,
Oh what a thing to do,
And it was all yellow.

Your skin,
Oh yeah your skin and bones,
Turn into something beautiful,
And you know for you,
I’d bleed myself dry for you,
I’d bleed myself dry.

It’s true,
look how they shine,
Look how they shine for you,

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And all the things that you do.
