late as it may be, i say: CONGRATS DENNIS

in your words, you're a step closer to your wrx dream. to say the least, i'll be bitter if you're suddenly 90k ahead of us on the money ladder. nonetheless, i'm truly happy for a friend. you deserve it. had you not sent us all back home on that day (like you always do, recently), you probably wouldn't have gotten past the first stage, so i suppose good karma does exist. all the best if you get through the balloting, with your tenacity and vigor, you have the edge. bring your super-glue along, just in case.

knowing what you want. i do know what i want, but i don't know all my wants, so maybe in a sense, i don't know what i want. life will be simpler if there aren't so many things to want, and i love things simple.

i found out that a lot of people around me actually know a 3rd language (mostly japanese). that makes me want to know 4. anyway, japanese-learning is on track, and hopefully i'll be sufficiently proficient with the language to make coherent conversations in a short year's time. my dad's friend and business partner once told me that japanese wouldn't be as useful as french (oops, was it french?) in the business world, but i decided to go against his advice because i'd love to know japanese. i'll take french (if it's indeed french, will have to ask dad) next. then again, i procrastinate, and lazy is my middle name.

learning's never supposed to stop, the best is yet to be, eh? i'd love to be knowledgeable. my dad will never know how impressed i am by how he seems to know everything, because my egotistical nature does not allow me to tell him so. i guess reading heaps and watching loads of news/national geographic/discovery helps. weird though, my mind does not retain these kind of data, they just come and go... i'm running low on memory. emanuel, you too. why do you know so much! boy am i envious.

i'm being random here, but boredom is a catalyst to mindless rambling.

10 months isn't really a long time; university is coming! i'm envisioning how my life will be like then. i'm definitely not going to be a bookworm, nor am i going to let most of my time be taken by a CCA or something (i'll talk about why in another entry maybe). perhaps i'll start a little on the adult thing, like shares, stocks and stuff. my dad's still waiting for me to start a portfolio and do some mock investment before pumping cash into his capable son. looking back, i think i'm good at talking big, but when it comes to doing... hrm, it never came to doing. still, my words inspire people! jj, even though you said it'll probably last a day only, i still inspired you to study/work hard and make big bucks in future. i took that as a compliment.

i feel like swimming, rollerblading, iceskating, suntanning, gluttonizing, sleeping, shopping (there's the money factor though), or just hanging out in general. anything beats stoning at home, because stoning means i'll eventually get nudged into playing dota, and a game can stretch for an hour or two. that's like 1/24 (an average) of the day, spent on a totally unproductive activity. my parents say i'm wasting my time, i agree, and do nothing about it.

hmm... a friend just called me a slacker, because i always appear like i have nothing to do. okay, for most part, that is true. but when i do have work (there are times, believe me!), i tend to finish things fast, and then i'm back to slacking. reminds me of the time i worked at woodgrove primary school. mdm aminah (wow, i remember her name!) told us not to work too fast, or we'll seem like we've got nothing to do, and the principal wouldn't like that. ah, all the pretense we had to put up made the work more tiring than it should be. but twas fun times, working with you 4 ladies. we were like the hottest teachers in school, and the kids were all saying i shouldn't have 4 girlfriends. -laughs- i can't forget the time joyce and i were at the science lab cutting some stuff while listening to her mp3 player, and she ended up mutilating her earphone.

which made me think of something else. dennis, the world has to know how absolutely gay you were when you joined us at the funfair. i practically had to beg and drag you onto that ride, which wasn't scary at all! i bet the girls were laughing their ass off. (mm, rb!)

hmm, i don't think i've ever posted an entry like this before, but hey, it actually feels good to type whatever goes on in my mind at this very moment. and at this very moment, my mind's a blank. tata.
