Well today kinda sucked.

Yea. In order to cut myself off before I rant, I'll put it all down in chronological order:

1) A screw up in debate communications
2) Got beaten two games straight (actually that was kinda fun so..)
3) Wrote 200 words instead of 2000 words
4) A screw up in debate communications
5) Sucked at basketball
6) Got patronised for sucking at basketball (the sucky part)
7) Bought a $2 bottle of diluted bandung.

I can't decide which is worse, 6 or 7...

On the bright side...

I did two chapter revisions and temporarily got my confidence in pool again... That was nice. Triumph the Insult Comic Dog was pretty good. Russell Peters is a class act.

...

Learning more about psychology today was pretty interesting..Wish I had been able to get a deeper understanding though, or at least worked faster.. Think I can still get some stuff done this afternoon though..

On the ambiguous in-between...

There are two young men sleeping in my bed at the moment.

My. The number of ways one could construe that sentence.

Note to self: interchange interpret with construe when self wishes to sound more intelligent.

Things to do:
-Contact adrienne to clarify about the results
-Figure the results out as clearly as possible and get back to the j1s
-Play warcraft in the morning
-StUDY
-Get the NAC thing

Stuff to get:
-Zen Neon
-Money to buy the Zen Neon
-Clothes

Learn:
-Wax hair

I realize now that 4 out of 5 of the things to do bullets involve debate in some way or another. Disturbing.

Additions to the things to do list:
-Play DMC 3
-Get my voice back
-Stop playing so many games to reduce what must clearly be joint inflammation
-Learn more about psychology
-Party at Zouk.

That's better.

Dammit. Another 5hrs plus spent unconscious.

Its beginning to irritate me that I can't really write about anything that really irritates me on this thingy. Makes it seem like a waste of time in that sense. And the whole private entry thing feels sort of contradictory to the idea of blogging.

But this isn't really the blog's fault...

Heh. I hope that if cooks really have bigger fish to fry, they won't hurt the small fish's feelings by telling them that and leaving them uncooked. They'd rather be cooked than end up decomposed by oxidation.

If I were role-playing a fish, I feel as if they'd rather be eaten as a main meal than be processed and used as a condiment for the other dishes.

Oook. Wasn't that random.

I've been rewriting this damn entry for the past one and a half hours. It isn't working out so well.

Ahh. Nothing left to do now but talk about the Zen Neon and the Ipod Mini. I spent the bulk of today's conversation with Dad and Oliver asking questions, all of which boiled down to: What would you rather give somebody, an Ipod mini or a Zen Neon?

The Ipod series has a design interface that it so simple and effective that it can truly be described as Elegant. Or plain cool. Just whirling your thumb around the circle can keep you entertained for about 10 mins. That's a long time for a repeated digit motion. The navigation of the interface is clear cut and very intuitive. It's like the freaking circle is some lost part of you that you forgot you had, because it just comes so FReAKING NAturally. Damn you Ipod!

And the commercials are cool too.

The Zen Neon on the other hand..mixed feelings... In terms of looks, she is just about as pretty as the Ipod, albeit in a different way. On the other hand, most of the stik ons it has are pretty...in a way that is a little too effeminate. The interface design is ok (6.5/10), though everything else these days seems crass compared to the Ipod, but that is quite besides the point. The navigation system seems like a rush job, something that disappoints me..If the Neon is going for the look factor, they could at least have had the decency to at least make the navigation interface LOOK better...

Why in the world did the Creative people go and advertise the Neon as the executive Woman's Choice? Doesn't seem like a creative move at all.

I would consider the Zen Neon to have one ups on the Ipod
in terms of functional versatility, such as the existence of options such as recording, line-in, and an FM radio..

Looks wise... The Zen Neon is, to me, likened to a reasonably pretty girl who tries on all sorts of make-up and accessories for self-beautification, as opposed to the Ipod, who is just plain hot no matter how you look at it.

I want to find the guy who thought of the circle idea, and kill him. Now everything else PALES in comparison to that perfect shape...

Someone broke my nose today

Cartilage shifting. I can barely breathe...

Debate was ok. I found out today that I am either a very good or very lucky Mastermind player. And Sonia isn't pissed with me anymore too. Had lunch with her while in an oddly dazed state. I'm not too sure whether to be happy or sad with today. Ah well.

Still have a bbq and cip project participation to help plan. Not sure how i'm gonna figure out all this stuff. Still, I do think we owe it to the old ppl..but I'm just not the gathering organizing type..Ah well. If it ends up sucking I'll just pour alcohol down everyone's throats. I'm told that that works pretty well.

Naruto 262 is taking forever to get translated.

Back from the dead, The ultimate answer is 42.

Ahh.

I've just gotten up from what has been a continuous 18hr slumber, with the exception of waking up for breakfast... Had some crazy dreams.. what tops the list would be the one where i go to the barker footsaul court basketball hoops with..victor heng... and i end up eating my basketball made of pancake.. Sweet. I'm not sure what to owe this to. Maybe yesterdays burger king food..

Surprisingly, my com has come back to life together with me! I promise i'll never mistreat you again..

Hmm. Yesterday (or at least I think it was yesterday..) was pretty good. Went out with Chris, Aaron and Si Mun, a notable event as we haven't seen the dear girl in 1 whole year! Ha. She seems quite a bit different from when i last met her. In a good way of course. Yesh.

We spent about an hour and half playing pool in pairs. I've become pretty out of touch with the game unfortunately. Luckily team S&M beat team C&A 2-1. For the 1 loss, I pretty much did everything right for their team and everything wrong for ours =(

Went to cine to watch hitch hikers guide to the galaxy. It was pretty entertaining, with improbability drives, the weirdest situations, poetry-reciting aliens, and of course Marvin, the poster robot for self pity king wannabes all over thet world! I now understand why Tim was such a fan of the book...

Ben+ movie + Si Mun = Popcorn Magnet. I just don't get it.

Finally ended with a game of kamikaze air hockey.

After saying goodbye to Si Mun, the rest of us went to the arcade at dhoby ghaut, where I played the drumming game. And Impressed Everybody. This was followed by the rather bad decision to blow $2 trying to beat Aaron at Tekken 5, and subsequently followed by our group decision to spend 3hrs at the x box cafe. Bad. Bad ideas. But not boring ones at least =/
