well, here goes.
btw, don't read this entry if you haven't read the previous one.
weet.
Career
It's a little early to think about career five years ago, but guess you can never be too early with such stuffs huh.
dear ass, i'm sure you have never thought about being a network engineer or even know anything about networking when you're 14. but hey, rejoice in the fact that you are still failing maths and getting outstanding results a.k.a red among black digits as you have never been interested in business, sciences, etc and five years down the road, you will still not be interested. so thumbs up. :)
Education
coming to education, contradictingly, it will help if you, dear ass will just put in more effort in your maths.
hell, i know ms chua [maths teacher] sucks the energy out of everyone, but if there are people managing to keep awake [amazingly there really are, about 20%] among the 30+ students, you can do it. cos if you can score in maths/amaths or at least be decent in it, you'll have an easier time in engineering maths. 3 modules of them somemore. and hell, get interested in programming and read up on networking!!! sure, it might not be among the favorites of people's ideal jobs, but heck, you can earn money if you are good. you can still earn even if you're not. just be a lecturer. =x but yeah, you will definitely be better off if you can put in more effort in your studies. aim for a >3.5 gpa in poly!! and heck, i'm like a 2.8 gpa now which is a far cry from the target. =/
Finances
save money plox. 10, 20 bucks per week will make me a richer boy now.
and god damn, resist from browsing through online catalogues when you surf forums.
and don't owe yourself money!! [which i sadly am, near 1k or perhaps already exceeded.]
but ah well, at least you don't owe other people money.
Habits
bad habits to get rid of:
not bathing immediately when reaching home from outside.
sleeping >12hours whenever you get the chance to.
achieving a state of nocturnal-ism.
not bothering to tidy up your room.
not being determined enough to carry through with whatever you do.
Health
drink more bloody water.
eat more bloody veggies.
pure lemon juice works so damn well if you are having a sore throat.
take your own initative to exercise when you enter poly, cos your clique doesn't play basketball!!
and two of them, lately three, goes to the gym which you dislike cos you prefer outdoor sports.
and stop skipping your meals you thin piece of stick.
Opportunities
can't remember any opportunities that i passed out on that i really regret, but all i can say is not to hesitate when you see something that you really want.
you'll finally learn the japanese language that you are so interested in, but fuck you upside down if you just stop after finishing the basic level cos you don't get the JLPT [japanese language proficiency test] certs which is damn helpful in your future career!
and also, kickboxing! persevere you shithead!!!
be self-motivated whenever the chance arises and stop slacking off!
Relationships
you should have just ended one not long ago, which essentially can't even be considered one, but hey~ =/
just learn to think before you act, and ask yourself over and over again whether you really like that girl that you think you like.
and can you see yourself being the girl's boyfriend?
if you can't even imagine yourself standing beside her, holding her hands, then hey, don't even get started.
and please do try to keep in contact with your friends, cos the you five years down the road will barely meet your secondary school buddies, not even once a month, not even once every two months, not even once in six months unless you consider bumping into each other on the streets.
and there is no harm in going back to visit the teachers after graduation cos you know that you are going to like the school days a lot during the sec four year.
socialise more, speak up more, be more confident of yourself, be more streetsmart, and you'll never know what lies at the end of the road.
don't be content cos most of the people know you right now, it's because you're tall.
make it such that they know you because they want to, because you're interesting and fun to be with.
most importantly, if you treasure your friends, show it.
~~end~~~
okie. pretty silly when i read through it again, but yeah, i think i've always been foolish about certain matters..
worse is that i know where my problems lie but i just keep procastinating...
=/ ahhhhhhhhh.... well. lol.
so anyway, here's to a happy 2009! ;)

heyheyhey.
here's my first blog entry of 2009.
and once again, i didn't manage to spend time with the people i'd prefer to be with during the transition from the old year to the new one, likewise for xmas eve to xmas, or even xmas night. :(
not that it wasn't fun, but well, could have been better, perhaps. keke.
nothing worth mentioning about other than me attempting to see daylight cos i wanted to know about the plans for today.. or rather yesterday. then after everything's all said and done, i tried to get a few more hours of sleep but ended up dreaming a very random dream and wake up only to find myself in a state of paralysis. =/ sleep paralysis, or rather bei gui ya.
i only remember it happening to me once before, and that was a long time ago.
and i was inclined to believe that it's really sleep paralysis cos i'm tired or what..
but this time, even though i'm also tired, but something made me think that it's really bei gui ya. =x
i was lying on my left side when it happened.
my eyes were wide open, i could move my head, but just not the rest of my body or limbs..
then i knew that i was having sleep paralysis, so i tried to make my limbs move, but failed, of course.
after that i sank into my bed a lot. that was what made me think that it's not as simple as sleep paralysis..
cos let's say when i usually lie on my bed.. the current 62kg of me lying on my bed will cause the bed to sink maybe 2-3cm the most.
but i can say that during the process, the bed sank another 2-3cm.
maybe more, maybe less, but i definitely felt the bed sink as if another person has climbed onto the bed. =/
imagination, probably.
and the centre of gravity of the unknown extra weight was actually right behind me, while i was still lying on my left side.
so there's a lot of space behind me.
then after the whole thing when i finally broke free, i heard a man's voice..
vaguely, but it was definitely a man's voice..
but then it could have came from someone walking along the corridor so i never think too much about it. LOL.
after which, i tried to replicate the sinking of the bed, so i lied on the bed again, same position and tried to push down on the bed as much as i possibly could, but the bed didn't even move an inch.
=/ so unless i managed to summon some godly strength/gain 100% weight when i was temporarily paralysed simultaneously, or there was really some force pushing me down.
a friendly new year eve greeting from the resident ghost perhaps.
anyway, i wanna try this thing if anyone of you [if there are still people who read my blog] would bother to click on the link.. right here.
what would you want to say to your past self, the [insert your own name] from the past five years.. or even recent..
i'll do that in the next entry to make it less lengthy.
so look out for my second entry of 2009. keke.
