Da Captain's Log

Once hidden out of sight, a captain's life comes to light; Transversing the times between morning dews, his moments of voyage shall i reveal; Bound on a quest shrouded by gales, feed the sails he will, and catch the star where his dreams prevail...

Lately...

Lately, I am absolutely addicted to coffee.
Without my one spoonful per day, i feel like a dehydrating toffee...

Lately, I am addicted to MU online.
Trying to gain 400 levels per day just to lift my character to cloud nine...

Lately, I am addicted to Bleach.
Without a weekly dosage to feed my fantasy lifes as boring as a cricket pitch...

Lately, I am addicted to basketball.
A session per day to suppress my tummy's emerging ball...

Lately, I am addicted to detesting reality.
Wtih exams in 4 weeks accompanied by endless annoying assignments, I feel as pinchy as a cornered Ned Kelly. (such is life he says.... o.O)

Lately, I am missing my friends near and far.
Praying for good days and reliving our memories, a toast to friendship without bars!


Heh... just a brief update about me nowadays. Hope you all are living life to the max XD

The Path I Walk

Searching for what seems like an eternity, I gasped frantically for air.
"No.. I cannot do this anymore", A sad mutter escaped my mouth amidst the mingle of tears n sweat.
Panting, I scratched a handful of dirt, just to see it fade into the winds of dusk.
Suddenly alone, I knelt amidst the crossroads of dirt and dust.

15 degrees from the horizon, even the western sun casts its biased eye.
With rays penetrating the clouds of dust, I am left to wonder if I ever chosen the correct path.
With a rising horror, I observe the myriad of signless paths, and my heart sank along with the diminishing light...

Driven with angst, curses blurted involuntarily while middle fingers fly,
Why are we told of a destined path when God does not care to guide?
Why is there even life when all is a gamble, where few survive while the majority quiver?
Frustrated, I am another lost sheep enroute to my promised land.

At the end of wits, I stared blankly into the many lines weaved into my hands.
Could one ever tell his true fortune? I wonder.
Why will God carve his map of wonders upon human hands when fortune is a story fueled with vain?


Hands...

Suddenly,I think I am beginning to understand.
God did not carve a map for us to read and predict his prophecy of a promised land, but to burn a reminder, a reminder that reminds us of our existing hands.
Many look at them and only see a myriad of lines, blindly tracing them to the end of their meaningless lifes.

There is no correct path to begin with, let alone a prophecy of destiny.
Its nothing more but a message, a message that says live on.

The brightness of day shows me the paths filled with dirt and holes, never the impression of a glorious way of gold but it gives me the chance to repair it and move on.
The darkness of night gives not the impression of hope but it also gives me the serenity to reflect and be proud of the path i walk.

If life is a journey along a path, then this should be the promised land,
A point where at the end of tales, One can look back and see a complete path that stretch across the horizons.
Perfect paths can only lie before and never after.

No path, is the correct path. We just try to mend it along the way.
I smiled. For now I can once again continue my walk.

I am still alive... too!! XD

yeaaaa pals finally i mustered enough force to click on the weblink "blogspot login" and faithfully type in my username and password!!

A million things ran through my mind about what to blog since the long pause like how the heck i rushed to my last minute site visit, loss some weight (yea!!!), somehow managed to do my assignments, my research project, birdy chats with my best pals, karaoke night, missing her and home, getting tagged again by that stupid ghee et cetera et cetera...

well as far as i am concerned i guess these stuff are pretty boring dun cha think? so i will juz skip all the 'innecessities' and go straight to my announcement today....

*drum rolls*

*tada!!*

I AM STILL ALIVE!!

yes yes yes... it is necessary to say so since i hv not been appearing on9 lately and rumours of my death are widespread ....
Besides... i dun want to start another convo that starts with
"eh?! ur alive!! Halehlujah!!!"
(*#*&X&*@#$^#*&@#$!!!!!)

rite.... anyway nonsense apart, lifes being pretty 'normal' here for me. Days are getting cold too despite the fact that its already spring!! Heck, cold and rainny to the extend where i hv to hang my 'flags' around my room in conjunction with the national day... although i must say that i am proud to wake up and salute my own flags every day i still pray not to have any sudden visitors for i might be too patriotic for them :P

and as for uni, i hv begun to do the first phase of my research project! kindof cool at first until our supervisor whom i suspects to watch too many dramas reveals the twist once we r far offshore. Heres a sortof brief b4 and after version of the commencement of the project:
Before:
We: Hi prof! can you tell us more about the methane cracking project?

Prof: Of course! great to have you enstusiastic students onboard our project! Its basically *tuut tuut* (censored out the scientific explanations due to the possibility of inducing headache among readers or revealing how sucky the author's knowledge is). It is definitely fun and safe to do it and we hope you all will gain loads of experience and fun as well throughout this project!

A few weeks later after reading lots of theory stuff...
After:
Prof: oh yea guys, i need to bring you all through a safety induction prior to your lab works. Now listen carefully for anything can happen in the lab especially with the stuff we are dealing with....

we: chhh.cho.. chotomate!! but we thought u told us to not worry that much and have fun??

Prof (de facto look): of course it is your course's essence to have fun but then again.. ( took out a bottle of pure Hydrogen)... this can happen...

(lights a flame at the bottle's tip)

Prof: it burns with a colorless flame until it reaches its upper explosion limit....

BAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNG!!!!!!!!!

We: o_o"""""
(I swear i thought it was my brother playing with match bombs during CNY!!)

Prof: i appreciate your moment of silence... but this is juz the beginning....

Right i hope u guys get the idea :P Well i guess everyone knows that hydrogen is reactive but it is often a very new perspective to know HOW explosive :P and the prof goes on about a tonne of other gasses we will be using to create a catalyst for our experiments which are all, regrettably either extremely corrosive, highly explosive or dangerously poisonous. and needless to say, accompanied by pictures and stories of experiments gone awry t_t

but all in all.... i am still exagarating a little lah :P Nothing will happen as long as i dont decide to juggle bottles of acid in the lab. Kindof looking forward to my lab work actually! the Prof is a really keng and good person... very teacher figure if you ask me so i really think this is where my real uni life begins XD
Will snap some pics when the lab part starts to show u guys!

Anyway i will hv to stop here today.. Ghee, will do ur stupid tag nxt time lah :P Say me like to flirt with girls?? Man, nothing compared to u mate :P I gan bai xia feng!!

My friends in malaysia, enjoy your uni holidays and take good care! miss you all! remember to hang your flags around XD

Friends abroad and in perth, well gambateh guys... i dun on9 much these days but still wish to catch up with u guys whenever i can.. take care ya and happy studying! ;)

regards to all,
dan

haiyooo... tagged by some kay pohs!!! XD

Heck... juz when i am happily doing my around the blogs in 80 secs routine i realised i had been tagged by 3 ppl (or at least). nanda ppl are always soooo kay poh bout what others think bout love?? haha but well anyway being the sporting guy i am... here it goes :P

-The tagged victim has to come up with 8 different points about his/her perfect lover.
-Have to mention the gender of his/her perfect lover.
-Tag eight other victims to join this game and leave a comment on their blog.
-If you are tagged the second time.There is NO need to do this again.
-Lastly, most importantly, HAVE FUN DOING IT!! ^^

Lover's Gender: girl.. Girl... GIRL!!!! age range ( x-3 < x < x + 1 )

8 points ah... will try to make them sound different :P

1. Passionate about our relationship.. and not the type that keep expecting guys to make all the moves coz there r times where guys need a break and for me, will appreciate it soooo much if my lover automatically calls to ask how am i.

2. Cheeky? haha, i always find girls that are normally kuai but up to mischieve really cute. mayb being mischievious and playful from time to time is a key ingredient to spice up not only the relationship but life too :P

3. My shoulder at times of need, my ears when words are weak. I guess this is pretty normal since everyone will want their dream lover to b able able to be there for them when lifes turned them an ugly corner. of course its only an utopian situation but well i am juz to list what i think is perfect right? XD

4. Strong willed.... 坚强 not only in love but also in life. Its not that i want a girl like that so i can have it the easy way since she could take care of everything, but rather i believe its essential for both to be strong to overcome the many things in life ... fighting side by side as lovers, what could be more beautiful?

5. Sees me as who i am. goodside badside upside backside u name it... no need to elaborate on this also kua :P

6. Adventurous, Outdoor girl. Here i dun mean by those that go pub to rock and party everyday but those that enjoy nature haha. Since i love outdoor sports and exploring nature, i definitely hope to bring along my loved one along if i do go on such an expedition!

7. ok... not mentioning looks above does not mean i totally ignore this point :P I am not that picky lah (dunit her to sound like kym or lara or whoever) but at least she has to look decently pretty loh haha. abit fat is ok but no elephant legs or trunks pls and not too bamboo too.... will look like i am making her miserable :P

8. hahh... and lastly honesty! i appreciate it if my lover does not hide her feelings and are willing to share her opinions frankly with me.

ok there u go... 8 points. well this is only a matter of what i think now lah of course.. juz 20 years old nia so i guess i can still afford to b picky wahahhaa.
But well.. these are still juz imaginary guidelines... love is still more like an instinct, and activating it does not require scanning the other for these 8 points :P

so much for my perfect lover... but well back to reality i guess i can consider myself lucky if i can get a lover hehe :P

Ok... now my turn to be kay poh... the next tag victims are....
1. Lydia ( everyone tag u i mah tag also lo :P)
2. June ooi
3. Tansri ( yes coz ur too mysterious)
4. Samuel ( coz u hvent blogged for a long time.. helping u to get a post up lah :P)
5. Xinch if ur reading this :P
6. Ewe Jin... Go get a blog if u dun have one!!!!
7. Amoi!
