Born in the wrong era? No. There is no wrong era.

hmmmm.
i'm writing less.
and i'm writing differently.
somehow things have changed.
i still have things come to my mind that i'd like to write about every now and then, but i'm less motivated to write...
haha...i think i know what's the "problem".
will i do anything about it?
i don't know....maybe. heh.

jian sheng and stephanie were wedded a couple of hours ago.
heh. congrats. :)
i enjoyed their wedding.
felt it was short and sweet. kind of just nice kind of thing.
it helped that mr ong kept his message short. :)
heh...i had busy eyes during the wedding, and i thought jian sheng was being his very charming self. sincere and himself. albeit nervous. hehe(that's pretty him too..)
saw some people that i've not seen in a while.
remembered some of the events we had there in the past.
haha. all in all very happy.
weddings take up a lot of work and time and is a very troublesome thing.
i think it's worth the trouble. and i think it takes far more work and time and effort to keep at a marriage. and i think that life in general is a very troublesome affair all together anyway. haha

it's amazing eh?
my geeky specky-clad friend from secondary skool is still my friend.
only...he's not geeky anymore.
but he's still specky-clad though.
and, oh yah...he smokes, clubs on a regular basis, drives to work without a license, burns rubber into the wee hours of the night, drinks alot, has more ex-girlfriends than he can remember, and vomits where he pleases.
haha, and we're still friends!
mr hippie-socialite-incarnate and mr embodiment-of-everything-obiang...
amazing.
i cannot explain his actions. (his "actions" as in why we're friends. the aforementioned list of hedonistic practices i attribute to sin. that's pretty clear)

we live our lives doing this and that and that and this to do this and this and that and that so that we can do this and that and that until we finally can do that and this, by which time...heh.
we're so busy, sometimes we don't even have time to think about what we're being so busy for. maybe we don't know what to be busy for. so we make ourselves busy so we don't have to realise that we don't know.
i think it's harrowing...to wake up one day and realise that your life has slipped you by and that it has counted for nothing but selfish pursuits. meaningless pursuits...a meaningless life.

by God's grace,
some of us are made aware of our mundane existence.
by God's grace,
some of us are redeemed from our mundane existence to lead a life that is principled and purposeful.
by God's grace,
some of us are used in the waking of others from their mundane existence, so that they may have LIFE, and LIFE in FULL.

i think...the day will come when my specky-clad friend will realise that the pleasures of this world cannot fill the void in his soul. because i believe it to be the truth that man was made for God and that creation shouts it out to us plainly.i wish to be there when that time comes. i wish for that time to come.

i pray that my specky-clad friend will be given grace, and that i, too, will be given grace...

it's a fact.
i am proof enough.
a'levels is bad for health.

i have GROWN terribly WEAK.
got ulcer. huge one.
body clock's super messed up(this post proves it).
we played basketball last thursday. next day...whole body aching.
just went for a jog. now...legs feeling it liao...tmr it'll come full force.
tried doing exercises. could barely manage 6 pull-ups...and 20 push-ups...
SIX PULL-UPS and TWENTY PUSH-UPS. THAT'S PATHETIC...it's shameful..
...something...must...be..done..

and so i'm gonna start training liao..better start la...wah seh.
6 leh....heh.

tada!
after a rather long absence(my longest so far?)
the smelly one is back to writing!

haha!
so much for a'levels la ah?
for such a "crucial point in my life", it went by pretty fast didn't it?
maybe cos it's over then can lidat say...
but come on man.
earth to stinky binky..."YOUR A'S AIN'T OVER YET!"
heh. still got 2 more mcq papers left.
(how hard can they possibily be? very. i suppose. :X )
and to think i went through all my papers without even a word about them here, and now that i'm almost over, i write that its's gonna end soon.
FINALLY.
EMANCIPATION! but not yet...not yet...

in the meantime, i shall do what all dreamers do: dream.

we part our ways.
things were not meant to be and yet i refused to let go.
there were thrilling moments.
there were times of grief.
it has been a good experience.
but it couldn't work out.
and i've decided to end it now.
good bye.

my shichibukai.
:(

yes, you've read right.
here's a completely random but largely useful post on
how to soap up a sponge!
sponge as in kitchen or bathroom sponge la. i dunno what other sponge there is to soap up.
spongebob squarepants does not exist.
so there's obviously no reason to even consider him in the following procedure.
now, to the content proper.

____How To Soap Up A Sponge_____

1. Pick up sponge using dominant hand.
(a large portion of the earth's population is right-handed, so this would generally mean your right hand for most readers. of course there exists that 'other' bunch of queer folk who use their left hand more than their right. if you beling to that group then your left hand would be your dominant hand.)

2. Soak once with water.

3. Squeeze sponge until half its maximum water retention capacity.
(ensure the exactitudivity of this value using avogadro's number, le chatelier's principle, the ideal gas law, the boltzman constant, and the heisenberg position-time and momentum-energy uncertainty principle, along with all the fancy equipement you'd usually find in a chem lab at skool. correct to two decimal places, thank you very much.)
(don't be crazy)
(agaration is the way to go la. obviously)

4. Apply liquid soap(the clone of solid soap. haha!) on the sponge.
(quantity should be one tenth the volume of the maximum water retention capacity. once again agaration is the way to go. obviously)

5. Give the soap 5 seconds to seep into the sponge.

6. Give the sponge 4 quick half aqueezes.

7. Soak up the remaining half of the maximum water retention capacity.

8. Give the sponge 3 quick half aqueezes.

9. SOAP AWAY!

and thus concludes the procedure to have a well soaped sponge
