Lamer by the day...

Hmm...recently hor, i find myself getting louder and more rowdier...(Wonder if that is the correct spelling...Den in the end, so many lame things happen...zzz) Just take today for example...

While i was travelling to school...

I was happily approaching my stop, and trying hard to maintain my balance while walking out of my seat when of all times, the EVER SO FRIENDLY SBS BUS DRIVER had to brake so hard, that i lost my balance, and leaned against the person behind me...If that was not enuf, i had to add to the drama by letting out a loud "gasp" expression...Darn embarrassing...So when i alighted, i hurriedly brisked walk to my class venue...Might as well, since i was also late...

SO i reached the class, and sat down, hyper-ly telling sim about my encounter...I wonder if i had too much adrenaline in my blood...half panting and half acting, with hair "styled" as though i just fell into the rubbish bin, i was telling him how i "gasped!" when i lost my balance, dat my friend sitting next to me used his pen to hit my head to tell me not to be so noisy...Later, i learnt that someone else in the same class gave me a disgusted look ... =.=

Then nevermind...I finally ended that lesson. SO off i went to the computer lab to study...I met more friends, and decided to share my encounter with them...SInce they are quite sparstic (some), i decided to tell them my encounter in a more corny manner. I had leaned against an Indian uncle. So i told them i landed on an "A.P.N.N"...Darn them...keep telling me they cannot hear...Dunno what kinda ears they have, they ask me what "A.P.S"...So no choice lo...I told them AUDIBLE and CLEAR "APNN"...And told them it was an abbreviation for Ah pu nei nei...that was before i realised there was an Indian guy sitting in front of where i told my story...ALAMAK...I had no intention of being racist...then end up the joke became racist...lame leh...

Actually, yesterday, i also had quite a few encounters to share...one about me being action packed in class...seems to be like dat these few days leh...then end up me n my other friend were moving tables while tutorial was ongoing to retrive his paper clip...And my classmate reminded me that lesson was still on...zzz...

Ai yo...wonder if it is a blessing or a curse...On one hand, life is not so boring...on the other, it can be quite destructive...hm....hm.....

Variations of love.

It suddenly stumble upon me one fine night when i was watching some crappy drama show, when the male and female leads talked about love in a scientific way. Kinda interesting to know more about that. Since now i am also listening to "Forever Love" by Kenny G, i can only assumed that my brain have sent signals for me to be in a lovely mood to write on something about love, before my mundance Sunday Homework Intensive Training begins.

I vividly recall what is on the show. Our brain release many hormones on the different stages of affection. They include: Testosterone, Oestrogen, Dopamine, Norepinephrine, Serotonin, Oxytocin, and Vasopressin. (These proper names come from Wikipedia :) )

It says there that "higher levels of Testosterone and Oestrogen are present during the lustful phase of a relationship; Dopamine, Norepinephrine, and Seretonin are more commonly found during the attraction phase of a relationship;Oxytocin, and Vasopressin seemed to be more closley linked to long term bonding and relationships characterized by strong attachments."

Hmm...really? According to the show, the concentration of Dopamine and Norepinephrine starts to decline after the first and second year of courtship. That is when the "true" test of er...should i call it Love comes about. How long couples stay attracted to one another after affections dies out, and when responsibility comes in.

The greeks terms Love in another way, into different categories, something i recently learnt from my econs lecture...haha...They are:

Eros, otherwise known as erotic or lustful love, where one will find high demand for it in our very famous Geylang- the Hotter than hot red light district.

Phileo, which is brotherly love and
Agape, which means unconditional or spiritual love. If i did not remember wrongly, to greeks, it was a form of their love towards their God.

Hmm...so what is Love? An abstract, affection or something best felt than described? Personally, i try to love everyone as far as i can. (Of cuz, this is different from romantic love!!) I wonder what kind of love it belongs to. Like cannot find leh...But as far as i am concerned, loving the people around me encompass respect, humour, trust and passion. I wonder if it sounds familiar to having close knitted friends...Or are they intertwined?

Yet, with the progression of society, it seems to me that people get more skeptical about loving. With skeptism and suspicion, with schemers and distrust, how many barriers can one set to the person next to us? Where true friendships bonds dwindle. It takes a lot to love, and as much to receive and reciprocate.

School smells of...

School has started. I wonder if it is the same for my engines. First 2 days of schoole appeared light and easy. As usual, we had lame professors. Somehow, to me, their logic is simply so "logical" that it becomes illogical when they talk about their understanding of certain circumstances - something they term as "jokes". Lame until i don't know i want to laugh or cry. Alas, it is an effort made and tried =) Thanks for trying to tickle my brain profs =)

Today is the third day of school. Had econs lecture for 2 hours in the morning, from 8 to 10. It was an enriching experience, as he had lotsa jokes, i mean jokes that tickle my bones, and the first hour passed without much effort on my part on staring at the clock. Not bad =) Just that...er...i don't know who this professor is. I could not find his name listed in any of my module listed "Economics". Sim suggested that he could be some crackpot who is taking a break from IMH. Let's hope this is not true. I still want to be "lectured" by him for the next 12 weeks to come.

Wonder why lectures are termed as such. Do we often get scolded in that small, ok big, square box we are confined in every 5 times in a week? I don't think so...Instead, the coldness experienced is more stark than any thing else. Perhaps, it should be called winter confinement.

I definitely hope that this semester is a good start. Like it or not, i am going to coax myself into believing that. (Darn it...). For now, it is back to settling my unsettled mind and eating apples =) A strong body is definitely crucial for sustainence =) (Wonder if there is such a word)

My EQ =)

Your EQ is 133

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!
51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.
71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.
91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.
111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.
131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.
150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.
What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

Working out...

Yea...Lots of things to work out...Haven't seen my blog for quite some time...

School is restarting, so is my mind and body...

Have been trying to excerise...Bought roller blades, badminton racket as well as swimming costume...Yea, big investmest...but the sport i really enjoy is swimming...Somehow, doing some 20 leaps tends to aid in relaxation...sometimes, when letting my mind ponder through the workout, swimming a few leaps is almost effortless...i wonder if i had actually swam at all...haha...Imagine the sun warm my body while i cruise through the cool and peaceful currents...It is a very comfortable and un-nerving...How can i find a better way to refresh my mind...tranquility..If only i were a fish...

As for my other 2 sports...playing badminton ranks 2nd, while roller blading comes 3rd. Reason being, my blades are god damn heavy...and seriously tedious to put on...while i happily wobble about when all is done...As for badminton, my standard is erm...around primary school standard...Having picked up badminton in junior college and from the lack of practice...i thought if it was any wonder my standard is so "high" O.o

Working out also for my mind...As i said, school is starting soon...trying to find my brain (wonder where i threw it to when holidays started)and work things out...Work things out...
