It's a wrap

Well tomorrow is the last day of the semester, and the last paper for this year. Year 1 has been pretty eventful, i've learned quite a bit in the area of object oriented programming. I dare say that the best is yet to come, and I'm hopeful for a bright future ahead.

Going to the class chalet tomorrow, the final time the class will be gathered together before streaming into different specializations. Probably game development for me. Don't really know how to react to this. I guess i've grown closer to a few classmates over this year, through didn't really get to know the class as a whole that well. Maybe they're not my type.

Excited about the night cycling I plan to embark on, a long bike ride across three beaches around east coast.

Oh yeah, my parents wanted me to join them on some special program on newsradio. My dad helps out at Reach FSC and they are conducting some sort of parenting talk show every saturday. My dad has been invited as a guest speaker and they want me to join in too. Well I'm not too comfortable with airing my views out in the open, especially those pertaining to personal life (ironic that I'm writing here on this blog which is technically viewable worldwide, but that is a different sense of "public"). I mean, being on air for the whole nation to hear about your life can be too much to take. Either way, if i accept I will feel uncomfortable and if I decline then I let those people down. Argh. Well I decided that I'd rather not, better to remain silent and hold my peace than to speak folly and forever regret.

Never Take Friendship Personal

Mmm anberlin gets better every time I hear it. I like it. Maybe my taste in music is changing.

Anyway, it's 9th Jan. Exams are in a week, I havn't studied much, as in I have no idea how to do the maths taught in the last two months. Yep. I can't take it for granted this time, even though I could breeze through last semester. If I sit for the exams now, I'll probably fail maths straight away, just pass NetF, pass java and PCT with average marks and score decently in WebP. Don't think I'll ace any subjects. Definitely not good enough to maintain my GPA of 3.32 from last semester.

I can't wait for the holidays. As if I'm not slacking enough already. I want to do something meaningful this holiday. Whatever that might be.

Well I bought a dirt cheap mic at $2 from the local market recently. Attached to my FM transmitter, it allows me to broadcast my speech on any FM frequency I want. I think I'm one of the few people I know that actually do this kind of meaningless stuff just for the fun of it.

Oh yeah this afternoon I made 5 more bamboo arrows cause my old ones were getting blunt. Instead of clumping the rubber weight, I spread it out in little loops. This allows the arrow to be more streamlined, flying further and achieving deeper penetration. I also made three fletchings (fins) instead of 2, giving stability at the price of increased drag.

Well so long for now!

New year's blues

Is this the New Year or just another night?
Is this the new fear or just another fright?
Is this the new tear or just another desperation?

Is this the finger or just another fist?
Is this the kingdom or just a hit n' miss?
I miss direction, most in all this desperation

Is this what they call freedom?
Is this what you call pain?
Is this what they call discontented fame?

It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass
From broken hearts and broken noses in the back
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?

You push until you're shoving
You bend until you break
Till you stand on the broken fields where your fathers lay.

It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

Is nothing here worth saving?
Is no one here at all?
Is there any net left that could break our fall?

It'll be a day like this one
When the sky falls down and the hungry and poor and deserted are found
Are you discontented? Have you been pushing hard?
Have you been throwing down this broken house of cards?

It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

Is there nothing left now?
Nothing left to sing
Are there any left who haven't kissed the enemy?
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?

Does justice ever find you? Do the wicked never lose?
Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues?

And nothing is okay
Till the world caves in
Till the world caves in
Till the world caves in
Till the world caves in
Till the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
