It's great to have the convenience of wireless. You can check your mails and do stuff online while taking a dump. This is especially helpful when you're in a rush for time.

Oh my goodness. I gotta work on my karma. I think I did too many bad stuff. The number of unlucky events that come my way seem to be increasing. My punched eye, bak gua knee, the killer chlorine in the swimming pool incident, celibacy acne, leprosy like sunburn, and here comes the next 'Edwin Cheng's Series of Unfortunate Events'. My cup of kopi exploded right in front of me. Think flying glass fragments. It was another pure 'WTF' situation. The cup serously just blew up in front of me, leaving hot coffee everywhere, and glass all over my sweater. It added a few minor scratches on my leg too. Though glass did fly to my face, thank God it was only the small parts, which did not go into the eye. Imagine if I actually held the glass to my mouth and took a sip of coffee before it blew up. You'd be standing at either my bedside in hospital, or my grave in Lim Chu Kang this very moment. Ladies and gentlemen, have you had a really 'WTF' moment? Do share it with me in my comments. This exploding glass thing sure did make its mark in my books.
I just figured that I'd be doing some serious hardcore film watching this week. The Animation fest, and the Resfest. Alrighty. So far, the Animation fest hasn't really tickled my balls yet, but I can't wait for Resfest. Screenings at 12pm, 4pm, 6pm, in a single day. I'm like gonna spend my whole day at NAFA! Wow. Thanks to this fests, I've gotta think of when I can do my photo shoot. And goddammit I have to hand it in by next thurs. I'm so dead.
I think I saw a certain someone's god-brother on the bus today. Knn, I still can't stand the way he looks at me.

Yesterday was the best poptart I ever had. Reasons being I don't go poptart often, there was freeflow, free entry, and mojo was spinning a mean set. Where were you Wendy? Upset. I digress. Anyway, it was also the first time I got punched in the face. And it was also the first time a girl actually landed a fistful on my acne filled face. Before you people start to wonder what scandal this leads to, THERE ISN'T ONE. I just blame it all on the alcohol, for the female, not me. I was just trying to help! But, if Lady Puncher reading this, I don't blame you! So don't get all upset and think that I'm gonna hate you or something. We're still gonna conquer KL for Christmas!
This morning I woke up feeling like shit. First, the eye was in pain and it kept tearing. My left nostril kept leaking due to the eye, as I think they're inter-connected in some way or other, I don't know. And though I was drunk last night and slept really late. I woke up at 7am. Why? Thanks to some community crap downstairs organising some brisk walking thing. IT WAS FUCKING IRRITATING. There was this guy using an amplifier saying things like, "Everybody wake up, get healthy", or "It's early in the morning (I fucking know that!), come down and join us for brisk walking!". Couple that with loud techno, you got yourself the ultimate wake up call. It is truly a situation where you wake up and the first thing you say is knnbccb. Word for word. In the end, I couldn't sleep at all and went to ksl for breakfast before footy.
More events of ultimate irritation coming up. I fell down and got myself a big bak gua on my knee. How many injuries must I get in those few hours? So now, I've got major acne, peeling skin that looks like leprosy, bak gua knee, and sore eye. Just great. Then between the game, this aunty came to play ball with her kids. She mentioned that soccer isn't allowed at the basketball court and we should leave. We ignored her. She later asked if she could share the court with us. We agreed. Then after being hit lightly by our ball, she said again that footy isn't allowed and she wanted to call the police. And she also mentioned that she travelled a long way to play ball with her kids, all the way from Tampines. (Who actually does that? And our court is in Choa Chu Kang. WTF right? Don't Tampines have bb courts too???) Later on, we told her that there is actually another bb court nearby where she could go if she wanted to play ball. She agreed and left. The police came after all. What a bitch. We thought we settled the situation amicably, but she still play us out. Knn. Truly irritating.
After taking some notes on media law on defamation, I'm starting to get afraid of the things I actually put on this blog. For instance, I think xx can sue me for slander for saying I'm starting to blog like her. The aunty whom I scolded bitch here can sue me too. This whole internet thing is actually quite scary. Oh, do remember, Singapore ranks 144 or somewhere right at the bottom for media freedom. Hooray Singapore! Keep up the good work!

What a week. Had school, watched films and more films, beer, exercise.
I feel quite tired actually.
It has been quite a healthy week, minus the drinking part, I feel quite good with myself. I actually went to the gym, ran, and swam. When was the last bloody time I actually did something healthy? Oh. I played soccer. But anyway, I have to get back my fitness before I get bombed with a letter telling me to take IPPT.
I feel like a freak. My skin has been peeling off my back ever since I got the sunburn and I look like a leper. Going swimming is a true test of my courage. With my facial degenaration, coupled with my peeling back, I looked like an experiment gone wrong. PLUS when i swam a couple of laps, my eyes started to sting and it hurt like hell. I couldn't even open it properly till later in the night while I am typing this post. I guess it must be the chlorine or something. I swear never to go back to that swimming pool again.
I can see myself being extremely busy once mid dec arrives. It feels as though I am looking in the sky and I see a storm approaching. The assignments are scary. I've got so much to write and I don't write at all! Doomed. But I'm anticipating my slide photography. So exciting. Can't wait to shoot my friends as my models.
I gotta go to the NSC. I need help. And gosh, I think I'm starting to blog like xiaxue, minus the pictures.
God save me.

I love eventful days, where I keep myself busy the whole day and actually enjoy what I did.
I woke up early in the morning at 6+ and travelled to Tanah Merah to help my friend with his shoot. TANAH MERAH. It's like going to JB or something to me. It seemed like a whole new world to me. Even the people in the east look different. And the girls are prettier, for whatever reason you can think of. Got myself sunburnt with white patches for eyes due to my sunglasses which were on the whole time. My singlet tan is so gross. Gosh.
After getting home from production, I had to quickly use my army attained lightning speed to pack my stuff and rush down to NUS for football. Nothing beats exercising with your favourite sport, and with your favourite people. It has been a long time due to the exams, but i guess even the exams doesn't hold them back. What a great day of footie. I could even surprise myself with a goal that I couldn't have thought of scoring. Gahaha.
Dinner and kopi after the game was just as interesting as it has been such a long time since I sat down with the guys and talked. Talk cok. Serious cok, nonsense cok, and the usual history flashbacks from our old school days. Delightful.
Hope to spend more time with you guys soon when your exams are over. And more footie!

School's here! Already the first week, and they already let us in on what's to come.. Assignments, assignments, assignments. Sounds like this semester is scarier than the last one. But on the bright side, I'll be shooting slide stills for a cinematography assignment, and the films covered in asian cinema are all interesting. No more french new wave and the likes of it. Goodbye neorealism! Welcome the crouching tiger, and the hidden dragon! Hello Kurosawa! Getting prep-ed up slowly for our 16mm project is really getting me all excited. Can't wait to shoot. The script sounds interesting, and I hope to see the 1st draft soon so that I can prepare myself visually in my head what to expect.
I'm thinking of sending in some photos for this photography competition in NTU. The 1st prize is a nikon D50. I want a DSLR. It will help my eye in how I look at stuff. It will also help plenty in how I grasp light and how to use it to my own use efficiently. But a DSLR is so expensive! Even with the incoming pay, which I hope does come soon, I wouldn't afford it. Furthermore, I have to finance the coming short film soon. When can I actually afford one?
I do hope I get more jobs during my free time, if I get any. Jobs mean money, and experiance. Both equally important to me right now. I should follow what yap say, career first, romance later. So stop thinking, edwin. Sigh.

Such a powerful song.
Alanis Morissette - Uninvited
Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hot blooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave
But you, you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat heartening
To watch shepard meet shepard
But you, you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced love like mine before
But this is not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
I don't think you unworthy
I need a moment to deliberate

This site so rocks.
If you have a thirst for local indie music and other indie stuff 24hrs a day, this is the place for you.
Thanks to candice for introducing this splendid place!
I've been down with a fever since monday. I hope I don't get dengue... I feel weak and can't do much. I thought I got better on tues but when night came, it all got worse. Today, I had to drag myself to see the doctor. Thanks to the medicine, I at least still have the strength to use the internet. I hope I get better tomorrow as I have a shoot on fri morn. I wonder if the fever came from the dog who bit my finger on sat..
Innocence or maturity. Which would be a better choice? To stay young or to grow up quickly? Kids always say they'd love to grow up and be an adult soon. Adults always say they want to stay young forever and be 18 or whatever. Right now, I'm stuck in between. I want to grow up quickly, and at the same time I would want to be young forever. I've always been a walking contradiction. I'm a poor decision maker, and I always change my mind at the last min. It's not easy for me to make up my mind on something. I am a 'what if' person.
