The thing about being a guy is that mornings can really be a pain. Morning glories are something that is common between guys but I think girls will never understand it and maybe that's why some girls get really put off by guys waking up and rearing for a shag.

Recently, my mum needed to carry some heavy stuff down to the car, but obviously she can't (or won't) do it coz she's a lady. Sometimes I feel that one of the reasons my mum decided to have a son is to use him as a cheap manual labourer. Talk about ROI huh? Anyway, having upside down sleeping habits, she had to wake me up and proceeded to tell me carry those things down for her. I would normally be a "good boy" and wake up and do it for her. But I had to linger in bed for a while coz of my Morning Glory.

Considering that I sleep with my boxers only, I don't think it'd be nice to jump out of bed and start walking around the house with a tent pitched in my pants. (hey that rhymes!) So while waiting for it to settle itself down (it's not a dog, so I can't just say 'Down boy' and it will obey), I think my mum got a little pissed that I didn't want to budge from my bed. I know she's my mum and all, but I can't possibly get out of bed and let her see me in THAT state right? Sighs.... Sorry mum, can't help you there.

Other than pouring ice/burning water into my pants, what the heck am I supposed to do man? Beat it down? Hahaha. It's a case of reverse impotency.

I'm suddenly in a freakin good mood. The last project for this semester has been submitted and my group has already presented the software and also done the code walkthrough. Apart from that, despite the software having some bugs in the testing part of the project, for most part it was working and the tutor told us that our software was "OK" and around average. That's all I want for this project right now, an average score coz I seriously thought that our software would be penalized heavily coz of the testing bugs. So that's one big relief. No more projects till next sem. =)

My team wanted to get some drinks after we presented but as I mentioned in one of my posts, this team is really the Team from Hell. So I politely turned down their offer (felt like giving each of them a kick for all the shit they've been doing). Good riddance to bad rubbish. Hope I don't have to work with them ever again.

Oh well, I suppose it's time I started my serious revisions for the exams. But then again, I'm the chief procrastinator so I wonder when I'll actually get down to it. There's a saying which goes something like this:

" Working hard will pay off later but working later will pay off NOW!"
*Sheepish grin*

Anyway, I loaded a new song today. A jazz number which sounds a little bit happier although the underlying theme might still be a little somber. Love these 2 singers. Too bad they're long gone though. Louis Armstrong has a really rusky and unique voice plus he plays the trumpet which incidentally was my old instrument. And Ella Fitzgerald always sounds so rich and cool. Lurrveeee them. If only Ella, Louis, Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra could do quartet song together. I'm sure it'd be oh so cool. But I think the only one still around now is Tony.

I kindda feel lost lately. I find my mind in pieces and I can't really get a grip on my life. I have tons of work and catching up to do but my priorities seem all jumbled up.

Was in school until 3.30am yesterday doing my stupid software engineering project. NUS School of Computing was alive last night as people did all the last minute programming and debugging. All this for a measley 5% of the overall grade. Which brings me back to my point, I've been spending so much time on school work that I'm neglecting all the other things and people that are important to me. As much as Uni is supposed to get you to be a thinking and independant individual, it really makes me wonder if the payoff is really worth it. From what I read in the newspapers, the market for computer related graduates is already dead and buried.

I mean, so what if I graduate with average grades without hons or a low class hons? A lot of working people tell me that in the end, it's how you carry yourself in interviews etc. In fact I heard that a lot of not so smart people get promoted faster because they look good, have good people skills, can speak well etc. So to hell with the geeks! The Singaporean society really sucks in the academic aspects. I mean I even hear of parents looking for tuition for their kids who are still in nursery! It's just plain absurd. I don't want that for my kids. When and if I have kids, I will send them to nurseries or kindergartens where they don't study but instead where they play. I think kids will learn so much more at play.... Sighs

Anyway, earlier this week, while doing my project with a group member, it was getting kind of late and all the food stores have closed, so we decided to go to his house instead. By the way, he's this Indonesian fella. On the way there, I asked him who he lived with and he said nobody. He lived all by himself in this big condo that his parents bought for him. I guess it will tend to get lonely for him. Oh well, maybe he can swim in his pile of money once in a while like Scrouge McDuck does. Hahaha. I swear i'm getting lamer by the minute.
Hmmmmm. I just looked at my entry and realized that it's as fragmented as my life right now. Oh well, I guess it reflects my mind going to bits....
