flow

Yup I've just watched the documentary Flow on Okto's FilmArt (Sundays, 10pm). Information on the film can be found here. The trailer can be accessed from here.

I thought the film started off pretty ok. I mean, it did try to be two-sided. Unfortunately, that seemed to trail off midway into the film. hmmm. A pity I didn't really watch the first half of the film. But i think it was overall quite decent. hmmm.

Precisely the point.

See Fiona Chan's article "It's not cool to be ignorant" in The Sunday Times 'Reflect' section (22 Mar 2009).

i was bored.

haha i was bored and allowed myself to be sidetracked while looking at my Peace Conference paper. Anyway, it's one of those silly personality tests (then again, I allowed myself to be sidetracked). 'Credits' to yee for successfully wasting 5 minutes of my life, lol.

Here goes:
(By the way, it's just ten questions which are really quite pointless. haha. can be accessed here)


Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

before the blog gets closed down

Yeah, I noticed I haven't posted anything substantial since the beginning of 2009 actually. Since the mid-term break and mid-terms and just over, I think I have some breathing space to write a little, in case my blog gets closed down :S.

The Semester has been ok so far. Not as good as I'll like it to be, but overall, I think I should be rather contended. It does help when you don't have need-to-be-read-essential-readings breathing down your neck; I can actually browse through the library's titles at a more leisurely pace these days (admittedly, for my papers). It also helps that I'm taking such broad history modules that allow me to explore otherwise-unknown shelves. Interesting gems here and there.

This semester also saw the MolEs at pgp a little more active. I think it's a continuation from the opening up from the end of last semester. At least living around here was not as bored as compared to when I first came. Then again, maybe this is the last Semester i'm staying already, so no complains. Anyway, the big bbq event for MolEs has just ended. That's something worth celebrating since it'll mean no more events to organise for a really long time (in other words, more time for work. ok, that sucks).

And that reminds me of my upcoming IPPT end of this month. sheesh. time to get back to some proper track training. haven't been there for more than a fortnight already. hmmm. At least I have no assignments due until three weeks later, so i reckon it'll be easy training while working on my papers. I wonder why they just can't change all the CAs to paper-writing; so much easier.

Ok, I think this is enough rambling for now. So till the next time!

p.s. I finally got to try the legendary Fong Seng yester-night (it's nothing fantastic actually), and the Indonesian Grill @ Engine today (it's great. And Ccheap). Ok I know I'm really slow. But hey, better late than never!

Edit: I thought this Facebook joke-quote of the day was pretty cool:
"Regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place."

just bouncing by

I know I haven't been updating much. The life of someone who lives in the past is like this, i suppose.

Anyway, an interesting article I read yesterday. Decided to google it so that I could link it here. Enjoy!

short update

just finding a little time to slack a bit, and remove some cobwebs accumulating here. just finished some of my mid-terms, still got one written essay to complete. but oh well.

Anyway, here's an interesting article:
