I was watching tv, cant rmb what but it gave me a random thought. Imagine i met someone whom i rlly love and we arranged to meet again tml same time same place. So the nxt day, we met as planned. At that moment, my emotions would be: happy, joyful, feeling blessed. I think i am one who is easily thrilled. So take the latter circumstance and multiply it by a hundred fold. I come across this girl whom i rlly like in a foreign country. Because we stay in different parts of the world, we plan to meet again same place same time 1 year later. And so the days will slowly go by and i'd think abt that person, missing her. As the day draws closer, i'd feel excited, maybe overly excited. And when that day finally comes and we meet as planned.. zomg. the feeling would be.. Ecstatic! It's like a romantic love story of some sort. Hmm.. is that how directors get their story plots from? From random thinkings? rofl. If the arranged date was multiplied further, say 3 years. zomg. i think i'd die of excited-ness or die of being too happy. Come to think of it. Why would i feel happy? What exactly causes that feeling of happiness? Ok this is a crappy post.
Had a dream last night. Weird dream again. I dreamt that i went to ask Audrey for her email, as well as everyone who was nearby. I had wanted to create a group for our whole CIS cohort, perhaps that's why i dreamt that scene. Anw, after i got her email, i teased her for a bit and she became angry or smth. I am now in some sorta arcade and it feels scary, like it was haunted. Every few moments, a voice appears and announces it's intent to kill someone. And so everyone'd start running around to hide. After a few times of that announcing, i came across the one who was doing the killing. It looked something like the witch from l4d and it was chasing me! T.T i ran in circles and somehow, managed to get a poor boy to block the blow for me. The witch disappeared and everything was back to 'normal', except that normal seems to be in a seaside fishing hut. Something creepy happened there too, i cant rmb what alr... Ok so that's the dream (or nightmare) i had last night. i wasnt freaking out, so i guess it shouldnt be counted as a nightmare. haha. It's so funny how random ppl appear in my dreams. Anw, i think audrey is kinda cute. =X

Came across the 2 of them today again! The first time was on the mrt when i was going to sch. Didnt see them until I was getting rdy to alight from the mrt cos i was so busy trying to kill that damned Chaos on my psp. I think they saw me too. zzz. How coincidental to be catching the same train towards clementi. Anw, nth happened with that encounter.
2nd time was at Aljunied station when I had to change train cos every alternate eastbound train terminates at aljunied instead of pasir ris. On my nth loss to Chaos, i just looked arnd randomly and then i saw them a cpl of meters away. =S well, i got back to play on my psp because it's so frustratingly frustrating to keep losing.
3rd time was outside of Macs when i bumped (not literally) into the shorter girl. At such close distances, i guess it was only polite to smile in recognition of someone u know, so i smiled and she returned one. it's amusing how we keep see-ing each other randomly.
Anw, went to the library to borrow 2 reference books which seem to be damn awesome. From the content page, i was able to pick out all those stuff that we're learning in lectures now.
"Inside the Machine: An illustrated Introduction to Microprocessors and Computer Architecture" by Jon Stokes.
"Fundamentals of Information Systems" by Ralph Stair and George Reynolds
As i was looking for books to borrowed, i came across the title "The Last Lecture". I vaguely rmbring a video which i watched on FB quite some time ago. The guy who gave the lecture had some kinda terminal disease and had talked abt his life, giving some rlly sound advices. He had also shown some pics during that lecture. So, when i picked up the book and flipped thru it, i came across some of the pics which he had shown b4. I wont say that i actually rmb the exact pics but when i saw a pic of that guy in the book, it struck me as I know it's the same guy from that video lecture. The one advice that i rmb was: " Chase your dreams", because if u dont go after it, u may live to regret it. A very common advice, i would say, but it rlly struck me deep after watching the video. lol. ok that's it for now. im going on for too long. Back to reading my books and watching Alice Academy =)Labels: awkward, books

Talk abt awkward situations man. My story goes like this, i go to the toilet during lecture break and i came across 2 girls which will be related to this story of mine. They were both wearing black class jerseys. Thinking nth much abt it, i went back for lecture which ended at 1130. As i was queuing to board 184, i noticed the same 2 girls walking forward to board the same bus. Not much of a coincidence imo cos most lectures would end arnd the same time. Made my way to the back of the long bus and got a seat. They eventually made their way up onto the bus and ended up sitting next to where i was because the front seats were all taken up. I 'lol-ed' to myself. Nt a very eventful ride. As the bus pulled up to the clementi mrt bus stop, the girl directly beside me randomly showed her fren her ez link card. I barely caught a glimpse of the pic on it b4 the card was flipped out of my sight, 4 guys whose posing silhouettes vaguely resembled the korean male leads of boys over flowers. "is that boys over flowers?" i thought to myself. I continued to glance at the card for a split second, wanting to verify my guess. It seems damn long but these occurred in a 10 second or so timeframe. In that split second which I was looking at the card, the girl holding the card, sarah (because the back of her jersery was labelled sarah), turned over and presumably saw me looking at the card afterwhich she quickly turned back. that was awkward moment number 1.
walking in direction of the mrt gantry, the station screen stated that the pasir ris-bound train was arriving in 1 min, so i increased my pace past the gantry and up onto the platform. unfortunately, the train doors were abt to close and i certainly did not want to risk being clamped by the door. the next train which terminates at aljunied came in a cpl of mins. i stepped up to the yellow demarcation and waited for the train to stop. 2 ppl came to stand behind me and i looked to see who it was instinctively. wtf, it was sarah and wen (the other girl). i could've sworn that i heard them recognising me from the bus and 2 words 'diu lian' (throw face) *awkward awkward* stepped into the empty carriage and randomly took a seat. They took a seat almost opposite of me. I felt damn awkward for some reason and the train ride was gonna be long. how am i supposed to keep a straight gaze if they were opposite me! luckily, i had brought my psp , so i took it out and focused my attention on it. djmax ftw! Reached aljunied and they dont seem to have reached their intended destination either. We ended up in the same carriage. they got a seat and i chose to stand, leaning against the pane of glass by the reserved seat. it still felt damn awkward. i tried to ignore them. i had thought of saying 'hello, what a coincidence' but that would've just made the situation even more awkward, wouldnt it? i just couldnt pluck up the courage to do that. haha. finally, the train was approaching the pasir ris station and it was only sarah left. i exited the station from the left, where white sands is, she exited from the right, where epps is. walking twds the queue for 359, i thought to myself 'it will be damn amusingly weird if that sarah appear in the bus queue i was heading for'. fortunately, she wasnt there, and the day proceeded as usual.
i reckon that this entire scenario started becoming awkward when sarah caught me looking at her card which she showed to wen. why it feels awkward to me also, i have no idea. lol. what are the odds of this happening again, considering that we all stay in the east. Maybe i'll go up and say ' hey, i rmb u. u're the girl whose ezlink card has a different picture from others.' hahaha. that would be interesting.Labels: awkward

It is SO fking irritating when noobs are on your team. They think that just because they have an armada of bcs, they can go on an adventure to kill off the enemy. wtf man. As if they have to wait for instructions to expand and nt to engage dumbly. And them insisting on their own 'strategies'. Sure, those are legit strategies but you're not supposed to just solely rely on that. Gotta be flexible man. AND, when someone is attacked, they turtle in their base with more static defenses thinking:" ok im so lucky that i wasnt the one being attacked. let's build up some defense". HELLO? GO HELP AS A TEAM? haix.
Despite all that, i cant believe im still starting 4v4 random matches with total strangers even though the frequent noobs pisses me off. Maybe im a noob myself, not confident of my own abilities to maintain my nice win loss ratio. dammit. gotta do the 1v1! gotta find more ppl who does sc2 on a decent level. Sigh sigh.
