walk

some recent updates in between exams and all-

-i finally got my phone repaired. After waiting for a week, nokia supposedly stuffed in a new screen and changed the entire motherboard for me (yes i stressed recurrent problems) so it's almost as good as new. I hate that the finish is such a fingerprint magnet but that's the problem with all chrome coloured ones. Anyway, i'll be keeping this one for quite a while, it seems to do everything. Shannon & i spent minutes at coffee bean trying to crack the default password which ended up being 'lock phone'. Kudos for reverse psychology there.

-somehow, every time i listen to 'island in the sun' it makes me feel more depressed. Island therapy awaits on this coming weekend when we're all free!

-i have plans to switch my guitar pickups to the dimarzio evolution 1 & 2s after exams because stock is becoming too stock.

-the most amazing thing happened today. Not many of you would believe it, it seems almost irrational. Yet, i'll say it-i injured myself during the math paper 2 exam. Yes, i did. It didn't involve any freak protractor accident or GC battery explosion, but rather the concentration in the paper actually caused self inflicted injury. Here's how it goes-for the first 2 hours i sit in one position doing the questions and before i get on the last two questions in the last hour, i decided to take a great stretch & that was when i heard that terrible crack. I had sprained my neck and the pain wasn't going to go away. So for the next hour, i had to sit in a really awkward position, finished off the paper with great success and got my sorry-ass neck back home to the infrared machine. It didn't work other than to give me a sweat, so i slapped on a piece of tiger balm strain pads. In the evening, i went cycling again. Terrible mistake. Sweat and tiger balm causes one of the most horrendous burning sensations that's uncalled for and it felt like someone had doused my neck in lighter fluid and lit it.

-met sean at his condo again, this time it was two jc1 girls who got pwned by the olive tree vending machine. One of them bought twisties (i dunno who eats twisties at 12am) and it got stuck in the spiral dispenser thing so she started screaming and the other one ran back. They both started attacking the machine with such hilarious anti-physics moves that lasted at least a good 5 minutes. After 51 hits (yes i counted) they successfully managed to get their twisties back. We did it in 3. Ha ha! Vending machine 1, stupid girls 0.

-i think my bike is possessed. It started losing air today and i had to pump it up high at the petrol kiosk before rushing home, hoping that the tires won't deflate before i get back or it's have-fun-pushin'. Got back on time, and i realised it lost no air at all when i reached home. Tires are still solid as a rock. Will see tomorrow, hopefully they don't explode tonight and summon the guards or resident committee.

-my mum got me the new a7x album (cool eh?) and it's pretty darn good. Listening to 'walk', a pantera cover before the math exam can do you great justice in hyping your spirits. The live concert dvd was kickass, though a bit short.

-the instrumental 'for the love of god' by steve vai is ownage. Someone please teach me how to play it! :)

-4 more papers to the end of government education! Bleh, i've had enough. I'll start compiling a list of things to do to celebrate. Of course, that includes whiskey coke. Shannon tay, you stay away from me! XD

-as usual, i'm off to gain world domination. Because world domination brings powwwwer, unlimited poooooowwerrr!!! =D
