The wicked turth

Women, fairly or unfairly, are judged on their looks, and men, fairly or unfairly, are judged on their money, their power and their status. When a guy is rich and/or hes famous, and he is powerful it makes him more appealing than a cleaner of similar age, build and looks.

If a girl goes for a guy who is rich (maybe say she has pursued him), is she in it for the money? Maybe yes, maybe no, and u know what? Maybe, maybe that's ok, really. And you know what else? That very fact doesn't preclude the possibility that the girl is also truly in love with that guy. But can a girl fall in love, truly in love, if she was initially attracted to a guy for his money/power? Let rephrase this abit to show how ridiculous that question is, "Can someone fall in love, really in love, if he was initially attracted to a woman for her legs?" No one doubts the answer to the second question is yes. A physical attraction can bring two people together and, if the pair is compatible, lead to a lasting love.

Insisting that it's simply not possible for a girl to really love a guy whose wealth caught her eye is sexist. Its "male-ish" to say that only the size/number of a guy's pecs or or the shape of girl's rear end can inspire a genuine attraction, whereas obscene wealth always inspires only money-grubbing.Well, wealth can indeed inspire a certain degree of gold-digging, but that's not always the case. To determine whether someone who was initially attracted to you for whatever reason sincerely loves you requires emotional insight and the advice of good friends.

However, if you have this thought in mind, "that the girl is out for your money", right from the beginning. How long would any relationship of yours last? Althought there are black sheeps aplenty outta, guys just be on your guard and yes do heed your friends' advices...

Since i am waiting for my turn to play mahjong, i might as well write something here.. i haven wrote anything on investing and trading so here goes.. not going to go into the details here... just give u guys an idea first...

Firstly, why are there so many ppl that are apprehensive about investing/trading? Most of us would have heard of how some relatives that have burnt themselves badly in the market, wont the same happen to me? Well, simply put, people that have burnt themselves werent really investing/trading. They are gambling or in technical terms using excessive leverage without hedging. Trading (uses charting methods) are usually used for short term investing (sometimes holding shares for less than an hour or even minutes). Trading is the closest to gambling in the financial markets (besides buying shares blindly and lying to yourself that you are a long term investor). However how safe do u think your money is sitting in the bank? Inflation is running at about 3% currently and is highly likely that it will hit 4-5% come next year, you are losing that % yearly without doing anything. Are you happy with negative returns? If you say yes, is it because there is a greater chance of higher amt of losses that could you might attain if you enter the market? While, lets change the scenario a little, now lets say go for a job interview and the company tells you that they will cut your pay 3-5% yearly, would you wanna join that company? I think the answer is no, $3K will become $2.73k in just 3 short years.. your real purchasing power will drop if you do not invest.. what i really like to do here is that i hope i could chance your current perceptions on investing and get your started.. i have influenced quite a number of my friends already and hope to do the same here..

In gambling, gamblers uses a strategy call the Martingale Strategy, i guess you all would have heard about this before. Let me give you a scenario, say you bet $50 in a casino and you loses it. What would your next bet be? It will be higher am i right? Say you bet 100 bucks and you lose again, how much would you bet now? You will increase the amount again right? This is the Martingale Strategy, it only works if you have an infinite amount of money which all of us dont have. This strategy drains your resources really fast, say you start with $5,000 and you bet $100 which you loses, you end up with 98% of your initial capital. Say this cycle repeats for 5 times and you double the bet after each game and you loses all 5 of them, you will now have only 38% of your initial capital left. Now for your next bet you will need about 263% profit to gain back your initial amount. (The % profit that you'll need to regain your initial capital increases as your losses accumulates). To gain that type of % profit, one has to take a whole lot more risk, which thus increases your odds of losing as well as the % profit that you need to obtain in your next bet to regain the $5K. You see the picture now? it's a viscious cycle.. Also, gambling is a zero-sum game, the money is just changing hands and there is no net gain for the group as a whole. However, investing and trading is not... althought there are the buy and sell side for each trade, it is not a zero-sum game and the group as a whole can and usually profit from the gamblers whom think that they are 'real-traders' when in fact they are not.

The factors above explains the humongous losses that are sustained by the gamblers' group. (Although there are other factors i.e. contra , emotions et cetera that plays a part lets not go there to simplify the issue). For real traders, they have a trading system in place which tells them when to enter the market and when to get out. You see for traders, real traders, they uses the Anit-Martingale strategy and that teaches them how to cut their losses. Lets go back to the example again, say you start trading with $5000, and you loses $100 and you cut your losses and sell your shares. Isnt it so much easier to gain back that $100 with the amount that you have left ($4900)? You would only need about 2% profit to make it back up to $5k (Singapore Government Treasury Bills pays about 2.1% currently). Say you are forced to cut your losses 8 times for $100 each, you will need now 19% to regain your initial capital and that is still so much lesser than the % profit required in the previous scenario. In trading the key is not how many times you are right, but how much you make when you are right and how little you loses when you are wrong. This is call stop-loss, and it is the one thing that'll prevents you from having to take excessive risk in your next trade to regain your capital or even profit from.

Trading is not easy though, i will go into detail next time on things like buy-sell signals, stop loss signals, moving stop loss signals, technical investing, probability, system back testing.. psychology plays a rather significant role too but i cant say much about that...

"Say i am holding a cup in my hand how much would you offer? Now, if you are holding that same cup in your hand, how much would you offer it to me now? " Think about it, it has got to do with the psychology of money...

Lastly, if you have little no qualms about putting over $200k to $500k on an apartment or flat, why are you afraid to even buy $1k worth of shares of say Coca-Cola, or MacDonalds? They have assets worth billions the world over. Which is safer? Note that your apartment's value do flucatuate too. Think about this as well...

Have absolutely no idea that this song is from the movie "Casper"... man... some movies and dramas have such great songs.. 'Little Wonders' from the movie "Meet the robinsons" is another one of them.. and that "Con Air" song (shdnt be hard to guess the title)... .. 'Breathe' by faith hill.. et cetera et ceterea.. the sheer number precludes a comprehensive discussion... oh and "A thousand miles" , "Put your records on", "How to save a life", "Look what you've done","Before it's too late", "Drive".. of cos there are the chinese songs too but i cannot recall their titles...

Watched a couple of movies the past few weeks.. Bee movie, Enchanted, Good Luck Chuck, Golden Compass, The Warlords... have to say... none was really good... Bee movie was funny in the beginning but that is all there is to it i guess...Enchanted... was dragged literally to go watch... saw animals dancing and singing at the start...i was like oh man, get me outta here!! eventually though things started to get better.. The Warlords ...overhyped.. like The Golden Compass.. a bit predictable, where got fun..Jay Chou's Secret was rather unpredicatable and its awesome (though it felt like he had borrowed ideas from other movies) Hope I am legend and the Thai's scary movie (forgot its name) will be really good and probably scare me lots though...

zh:
well,at least chuppa chups are cute and kids love them more in singapore then lollipops

ee:
i know i know. u prefer the plump-ER kind

zh:
oh well, here it goes again...

Our conversation will bound to center around her weight whenever she is around (Nicole richie is her idol by the way).. she has a Ph.D in calories-computation. One look and she knows how much calories that particular food item has and if you ask her, she can tell you how much kcalories (or kjoules) she has consumed since morning and how long she must exercise to burn them off (li hai ba). Amazing i tell you...after which she will go on about the 'fetish' that i have on 'plump-er' girls.. I dun have a fetish on meaty girls, just wanna tell her that she can be beautiful and sexy as well with some fats on her... she can never get it ..but she has twisted my words in such a way that it has now turn into my fetish!! (--;) thats why it's refreshing to see girls that will just eat and dun care about a thing... hah..

screams at ming: pedigree =! prodigy..

my ambition is to be...

When one of my good friend is still in Singapore, we would always chat about what we wanna do next time and the various investments that we are going to go into together in the future. He is my cheating buddy in university, yeah, we always cheat during the mid terms if it is not held in the sports hall. We were so good that we can practically discuss during the tests and even help each other check answers when we were given different values. We were that good haha.. oh well, back to the topic..

I remember when i was in primary school, the teacher would ask what do you want to be when you grow up. Some will say things like, u know the usual suspects, doctors, lawyers, actors et cetera. some want to be Captain Planet, Care Bear..


just kiddified my blog.

However, i have never heard of a child that would say,
"I want to be an Engineer."

and if his/her vocab is good enuff at that point in time, he/she will say, "What the **** is a engineer?"

Well well.... but being an engineer is "cool!" so said my cousin during this year's chinese new year.. "Yeah its cool, look at where i will be working at next time!":



Isnt this a great place to work at, looks like Las Vegas yeah? Yeah its great, with all the hydrocarbons, particulates, acids, ozone and oxides in the air, it is an excellent place to work in!! Unless, i drink black chicken soup (oh kuey teng) everyday, i think cannot purge them outta my system fast enough...

i would very much like to stay away from all these and punch calculators in well ventilated offices instead...

Word Challenge (Continued)

Answer:



Tada... the word Biáng... simple right.. i knew u would figure out how to write this word..shouldnt be hard for you.. (^^)

Word challenge

Hey all, can you fellows write the word "Biáng" which is a kind of noodle

Clue to the answer:

一点上了天，黄河两道弯，
八字大张口，言字往进走，
你一扭我一扭，你一长我一长，
当中加个马大王，心字底月字旁，
挂个丁丁叫马杠，坐着车车逛咸阳。

Phew..

Okie just finished the exams... this sem like suffering from serious mental block... cannot think one.. studied for America History only during the last day slept for only 4 hours, heng the ones i focused on came out.. below is an email written by a NTU Aerospace major to her professors, friend sent it to me... if only we can write that to our chem engine profs.. Dr Jiang jianwen is in the news by the way ..

Well, of all the movies such as enchanted, golden compass, i went to watch the Bee movie..kao eh it is erm.. kinda lousy .. going to watch the golden compass tomorrow though.. finished a book already and some nitty gritty stuffs..going bintan for new years eve, christmas still no plan... really hard to plan for any outings with the rain, wanna go sungei buloh and ubin chek jawa to look see and go blade but the weather is too unpredicatable.. well well.. So have you figured out how to cut the cake into 8 pieces with 3 cuts? slice it horizontally first into 2 circular pieces, then slice them together twice like how you'd usually cut a cake...

Email:

1) Today I had taken the exam paper, AE3002 Flight Mechanics, and I had a shock of my life! The very moment I started to attempt question 1, my whole body started to sweat all the way throughout the paper until 1130am... even in the air-conditioned hall! It was like I had seen a ghost! It was also the first time I had swallowed so much saliva during examination in my life.

2) The questions 3 and 4 were really different from what we had been trained to do. We had been practising with eigenvalues in the tutorials. However, eigenvalues were not tested today. Instead, we were being tested on something else. To be honest, I didn't even know what the questions were asking! How was I supposed to come out with the answers when I didn't even know the questions? Were they supposed to be questions to be answered or questions for us to ask more questions about? It was not that we didn't study, but what we studied didn't actually come out and what we didn't study actually come out!

3) It is like we were being taught to pitch up a canvas tent in our tutorials for the past few months. However, on the day of examination, when we entered the exam hall, we were given cement, spades and drills by our invigilators, and the instruction was "Build a concrete house. - 25 marks"

It is like we were being taught to hunt down rabbits for the past few months. However, on the day of examination, we were being put in a jungle to hunt down wild tigers! A whole new, different monster from level 10! How is that possible? We are all really clever people in Aerospace. But we have to be reasonable. We didn't have enough examples for us to practise with in the first place. The total number of tutorials that we have is only 1-to-6.

It is like fighting off some aggressive tigers in a jungle with only 6 hand-guns!

On top of that, we didn't even have the proper solution answers to some of the 6 tutorials. It is like giving us 6 hand-guns and out of the 6 hand-guns, some of them do not have any bullets inside.

4) Dear Professors, we were all deeply traumised by today paper because we really had studied very hard for it. Please be reasonable in marking our answer scripts.

Regards,

A Nice Girl

The missing dollar paradox

I have uploaded some songs on the right ----> for you guys to chill if your work/studies becomes too overwhelming. Visit this site if you r free too http://www.personalitytest.net/funtest/stress.htm (courtesy of ngai's mail).These tests are just for fun ya, dun take them seriously. Well well, i am burnt out when it is not even the reading week. i din study a lot, but i just cannot concentrate... going to slack tonight. My tfwa friend Joyce said i should be in smu rather then in nus. Its a mistake on my part really that i am in nus... oh well... better days ahead.. (or so i hope).. I so badly want to skate... shall go after my last paper on the 5th of dec.

Anyway, heard of the missing dollar paradox? Here it goes..

Three guests decide to stay the night at a lodge whose rate they are initially told is $30 per night. However, after the guests have each paid $10 and gone to their room, the proprietor discovers that the correct rate should actually be $25. As a result, he gives the bellboy the $5 that was overpaid, together with instructions to return it to the guests. Upon consideration of the fact that $5 will be problematic to split three ways, the bellboy decides to pocket $2 and return $1 each, or a total of $3, to the guests. Upon doing so, the guests have now each paid a total of $9 for the room, for a total of $27, and the bellboy has retained $2. So where has the remaining $1 from the initial $30 paid by the guests gone?!

You have heard or read this before right? Try solving it for yourself. I'd thought of 2 methods. One from debit/credit. The other one is using material balance (for chem eng friends)Have fun... ^^

Simple maths not so simple

While waiting for the results of my simulation for the stats project.. i stoned...
and when i stone my mind will starts to think about really useless stuffs..

1/3 + 2/3 = 1
Is it really true....

Consider this:
1/3 = 0.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333 tend to infinity
& 2/3 = 0.66666666666666666666666666666666666666666 tend to infinity

Now, when u add 0.3333333333333333333 to 0.6666666666666666666 the answer shd be 0.99999999999-to infinity and not 1 whole. only when u add 0.0000000000000000000000000000000-infinity-01 to it would the answer be 1.0.

Interesting right, or do u think its useless stuffs.. haha... i will need to go ask my primary school teacher or maths major friend on this matter... hmm.. a bit bo liao.. hah

Confidence personified..

Maths Questions

this is only the 3rd of nov but some friends has already posted like 6-7 times. Tai li hai le, not to be outdone, i decided to post again. Pardon my previous post, it was long and the english is oh well, you know... If you are contemplating on what to do for your master's thesis, final year projects or even ur PhD thesis why not consider this... read: http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1761150

On a differnet note, what is with the PSLE maths questions anyway?.. look at the questions in uni..are we complaining? haha.. yaya cannot compare.. my friend decided to come up with some questions which he said he will submit it to the examination board for next year's paper:

1) Container A has 5 litres of water, John pours 3 litre of water into container B which is initially empty. After which, John pours 2 litres of water from container B into Container C which contains 4 litres of water initially. As the containers are placed outdoor, they are subjected to the elements. Not long after, it begins to rain.. Rain falls for 10 hours at 3Litres/hour into the containers. How many containers are there?

2) John was shopping when he was robbed. The robber ran for 30 meters and John pulls out his hand gun and fires (time, t= 0). The bullet travels at 100meters/s and the robber runs at 10meters/s. Air resistance increases as the bullet accelerates thus slowing it down at 1meter/s. At time t=4s, the robber grabs a bicycle and pedels at 50meters/s How many letters are there in John's name?

3) MCQ: John was walking home from school and he decided to buy 183 apples at NTUC, not long after Mary came in and bought 999 apples. Peter then came into the store and bought 43 apples. They placed all the apples into a van and went home together. 2 days later, 4/5 of the apples rotted, none was consumed. How many types of fruits are there?

a)one
b)two
c)three
d)None of the above.

The average person is statistically 'mean' ..

now i know what the Monte Carlo approach in stats meant, it is a sub set of the stochastic approach which i have used so frequently... lotsa dots...

Anyways, i met my sispec bunk mates when i was going home yesterday. It was great to meet someone from those tough army days. Though the days were tough but we had so much fun firing all the weapons, from light anti tank weapon, gernades, M203, different types of mines, TNT, automatic rifles and machine guns. We were all so bonded then, sharing stories at night, doing guard duty togehter, sabo-ing each other by pulling each other outta bed at 2-3am and put all sort of things (like cameo cream, insect repellent shampoo, aftershave, deodorant and chocolate) all over the person's body.. doing all these without too much laughing that will wake up our sergeants. haha.. The countless nights we spent in the forest training, feeding mosquitoes and ambushing fellow platoon mates in the early morning. How we always felt asleep during ambush missions and let the 'enemy' walk pass us without us noticing and get punished in the end. Diggin trenches so deep that we could stand in them with only our head exposed. Speaking about trench diggin, it is a really frustrating event, it just depends on your luck. If your spot is filled with soft soil and sand, u can finish diggin in a few hours. However, if u see sparks flying when ur spade hits the ground then u know u r died.. u can dig 4 12 hours and still gets no where with those rocks. But the platoon will all come to help dig. Remember the times where all the stupid things happen too, like how a platoon mate melt his boots because he felt asleep with his boot ontop of his candle in the forest. How another platoon mate always went mad when we encounter 3 full days of heavy rain when we were out living in the forest. Everyone got flu after that. Oh well, my advanced section leader course was cut short due to an accident, we were running (pitch dark in the forest, you cant even see your hand when u place it in front of you) when i felt into a trench dug up earlier by us. Sprain and hurt both my knees as well as my right ankle, that trench belongs to the tallest man in our company... that lucky.. was extremely sad when i was put out of course by the medical officer cos these mates were with me since my basic military training days and i wanna graduate with them.. only one exercise in taiwan was all that separates me from completing the training. Nonthesless, it was them that made my days remaining in sispec so much easier. As i live on the 4th floor, they have to help me up and down every single day. oh how i miss those days .. but not the botak hair of cos..

Lighthouse family

I have lost their albums.. damn.. px u just make do with these and chill ya... it is with my friends, but i forgotten whom i have lent it to... benny, if u wanna listen to my long speech on investing ah, i wont mind eh... but you must stop me if i cant stop.. go ask mtze what happened hahaa.. in the mean while go find out what's anti-martingale strategy and read the books that i had recommended to you previously... have fun..

"双人相梦" by 年少

anybody has this song?

Pacman

I have not played computer games for eons. Nonetheless, this game managed to captures my attention for the past few hours.. its addictive (or so i thought), try it and have fun haha..

just got a new project, it requires us to read an article on probability (23 pages) and write some program files to run it. dun understand what he wants... one of the line reads: "A numerical method, known as the stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA) due to Gillespie (1976), employs a Monte Carlo approach to construct the distribution .. " ehh...a Monte Carlo approach..... does it really matter where it is from? if i would ever come out with a really complicated equation next time, i will call it a Wonderful approach..

Fragile

is it a hype to break another person's heart these days ? I wonder.. a few friends were at the receiving end of such treatments. 3 has in fact talked to me about this since sunday ... i have drew some conclusions from these 3 different friends and their experiences. Usually the girls would think that they are at fault whenever something deterimental happens to their relationships. I beg to defer as too many factors are involved here. (oh the complexity of the human mind) One's mind is like a parachute, it is functional only when it is open, thus if they mind and heart is already set and whatever that was told to them was just translated to 'yada yada yada' by their puny minds, what can thou do? I understand the fact that i am merely standing on the outside looking in and i aint in any of your positions, thus i should not be giving any opinions. But believe me, one day one guy/girl will be glad that the fellow u went out with previously were blind enough to have even let you go.. so cheer up now would you =)

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... is the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and the converse is true as well. It's mentioned that most of us will see the dancer turning anti-clockwise. Try focusing on it and change her direction; see if you can do it. It is turning clockwise for me and i cant make her turn the other direction. Google the use of right and left brain alright and see if it describes you..

Anyway, i have told some friends that i will tell that what i had been doing for weeks since my mid term tests.... so here it goes..It is a design project that requires the use of a software call HYSYS. Chemical enigneering students bare with me ya.. In short chemical engineers are supposely the experts in plant design, optimization, heat and mass transfers as well as separation processes as told by our professors, but i think we are kinda lousy in those aspects hahaa.. below are some screen shots, it simulates a Liquidified Natural Gas plant.

First: Removal of carbon dioxide and H2S (after which......)

Propane Pre Cooling Cycle (loops and loops and more loops and lastly a distillation column)

After much optimization, we are finally writing our report, which is another headache...my uncle once told me that you know u r an engineer when u tell ppl about what you do and they goes huh.. i am huh-ing myself as to why i am doing all these.. hahaa..

Oh well i bored u din i... there is a saying by Winston Churchill that goes something like this. "The report by its very length defends itself from being read." i hope i have defended myself from the numerous critics outta that would spam my msn if i do a poor job here... or maybe it is simply not long enough..... hmm..

23

Friday was walking around the neighbourhood with my mum at night, talked about many things and finally she agreed to let me buy and pay for her insurance... oh well.. i am 23 already, presents dont mean as much as it once did.. the very fact that my dad gave me a surprise just now meant so much more than any other presents and dinners.. but i am still thankful for the gifts and meals, however, simply remembering it is good enough for me..I have disappointed my dad real bad b4 and made him cried, was a bad kid in secondary school.. if only i can be half the man that he is i will be extremely glad... Took some pictures, will upload them next time... changed the music already.. some friends told me to change the songs more regularly.. once a week quite ok liao ah... 老 le 老 le..

Have you ever did something and realises immediately that it might turn out to be one huge mistake? It could happen to me this friday.. oh well... we shall see... if it does happen, then be sure that i will write about it here.. --"

I need my universal remote, but i realised that i have not programmed a 'pause' or 'rewind' mode. Damn... there is only fast forward...



now tell me are those doves or white pigeons in the music video...?

i have 学习障碍

nobody said it will be easy, but no one told me that it would be this tough... this is a very crazy sem. Given the steep learning curve of a typical nus module and where every lecturer assumes that we have learned this and that from the other lectures when in fact we dont; taking 7 mods just made this a whole lot worst. Now i am practically standing at the origin looking up the y-axis as my learning curves suddenly has infinite gradient.. i'm currently having 学习障碍. Too much info needs to be processed.. my mind aint quick enuff, like my RI friends told me, there have "real intelligence" but since i am from AI, i only have "artifical intelligence"... i set up this blog to entertain myself.. but i forgotten all the html coding.. so now i have to look through them again.. i had even forgotten how to add a heading .. damn.. i really have 学习障碍... (see right sidebars for some random songs --->)

Well this weekend going to go back school again for projects.......... i love projects.. but as i'm having 学习障碍 now, i cannot contribute so i just sit there listening and accepting(while nodding) whatever they are discussing.. hmm.. simply love projects... they are mindless...

Forrest Gump

Wednesday was out celebrating a friends bday:

[eehway]: i hate fringes, they always get into my eyes
[s]: Grow longer fringes then.

what an answer, hahaa.

[ew]: hey hey, am i fat?
[s & me]: nope, you are already singapore's nicole richie how fat do u think u r.
[ew]: grin*
[s& me]: ......

today just finished my series of tests. Modelling and mass transfer operation papers were both very hard but material science was average. Anyway, since i was too bored to study on friday night cos i have finished studying already, i decided to watch Forrest Gump... a novel based movie. Its a great show, mindless yet refreshing at the same time with so many memorable quotes .."My momma always said, 'Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.' "

Young Forrest Gump: Mama said not to be taking rides from strangers.
Dorothy Harris: This is the bus to school.
Young Forrest Gump: I'm Forrest, Forrest Gump.
Dorothy Harris: I'm Dorothy Harris.
Young Forrest Gump: Well, now we ain't strangers anymore.

Althought its a 1995 or 1996 show (yes that long ago), it still good, its refreshing because, unlike a typical show, there arent any bad guys in this show to make Forrest looks good. ha.. inspired by it i am going to start something on the blog based on his infamous statement ... hope i have the drive to do it...

stay tunned..

First week of October...

Untitled..

Barely beginning on its daily routine, the cheeky sun took a peak over the tall greyish structures overshadowing his bedroom window; impetuously it devoured the darkness that had shrouded the place. A minute has passed and it finally embarks on its little dance. 'Ah, what a day it is going to be.' he thought to himself while laying on bed with wind blowing through his messed up hair.. 'lets get going then' he though to himself feeling jumpy all over. So off the bed he hops.

'Argh! what is that feeling?!' he exclaimed. An extreme disgust of unprecedented proportion plus a dose of pain struck him like a boxer's blow. He straighten his body with all the might he could conjured. Chin up. Stomach in. He grinned and thought to himself "it must be the food last night. " ..as he recalls the countless junk food that he has stuffed into that tummy of his. "it must have worked overtime and is revoking" he laughed while attempting to diminish the magnitude of the biological strike. So off he proceeds to break fast.

The route to the breakfast table was long and treacherous, akin to the Siberian Rail. Once there, he suffered an involuntary impluse to vomit and a strong repugance for food. "What's wrong?" his mum asked concernly. "Not feeling well, mum" he replied. "Feeling pukish"
With a return train ticket in hand, he found himself back in his room again.

Sitting down and panting heavily after all that exercise, he thought to himself. "Oh what a difference a few minutes can make. Such is life" He turn towards the window and all he could see is that blinding sun, smiling gleefully at him. Unable to stand such humiliation, he proceeds to drew the trusty curtains of his. "That should keep you out." he exclaimed like a 10 year old kid. His attention though, wasnt diverted for too long. "Damn you stomach what is the matter with you?"

While he was eagerly taunting his tummy for an answer, the bedroom door opened slowly, it was his mum. "Here take this" she said as she gestured him to finish up the cup of white creamy substance. "okie" he replied and took over the cup reluctantly. As quick as his brain neurons would allowed him to, his mind started processing, trying to search for one particular incident when his mum has ever fed him stuffs that would kill him. "NIL, not applicable" was the search outcome. "Oh well, what cant kill you would only make you stronger." he thought to himself as he starts on the horrendous task of devouring that creamy paste. All the while, he was trying very hard to prevent any unwanted upward movement of food through his oesophagus.

"There, done.." Almost instantly, adrenaline started to filled his body as he has smelt success for the very first time in the day. "Ahh... the rejuvenating effects of adrenaline.. simplyyyyyyyy love it.." A good minute or two has passed after his triumphant battle with the paste and lo and behold, his appetite is back! "Hmm.. that yogurt is effective" ... he thought to himself while smiling at his decision to take the suspicious looking stuff in the first place. "That should teach you bad bacteria a lesson.. Those live culture must have squelch you fellows so bad.."

Oh well, so long now bad bacteria, althought our acquaintance was brief, i will not miss you.... and dun come back pls..

The unbeaten path..

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth.T

hen took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference."

-Robert Frost

Copied this from my friend's blog whom copied from his friend. He took the path less travelled alright. Too bad i could not join him in Europe. All the best pal.

Practically writing to myself at the moment. This semester is so hectic that my sanity is at stake here...other factors are compounding it. "Man's life is a fairy tale written by god's finger" well said man Hans Christian Andersen. --" good for you, you must have lived inside your world... oh well, decided to start a blog to entertain myself. Focus will be on good music but are not as well known as their counterpart...cheers
