Brutha-ly Love

Welcome to the quarry of the quintessential quirk, the caberet of the crazed cretin, the abode of the aberrant aristocrat, the nexus of the neurotic engineer, the diary of the dogmatic dog-lover and the ranch of the revolutionary romantic! Have fun at your own expense!

Smoleyz!

Smileys + Moles = Smoleys!

First, look for a mole (those unsightly black blemishes) on a friend's forearm. Then, while armed with a marker, use that mole in all sorts of permutations as part of a smiley!

Finally, pass it on to another friend ;)

Oh, and play 'Spot the Mole'

Since Obeserene Requests This:

An update!

Don't blame me for the lack of updates! Blame LinkSys and their screwy, incapable wireless ports that can be dissected by any typical maid..

Eh wait. Singaporean maids ARE reknown destructors of gadgets, so never mind.

Anyway, my internet was down from last Thurs all the way to this morning. Utter HORROR! If 'horror' is what you deem completing 4 tutorials (cap, integ, kidney, hydroxy), writing an article for RA mag and completing an issue of Discover and many many peripheral Times and Newsweeks.

Woah talk about the tremendous blows to concentration and creativity the internet undertakes...

Anyway, those days passed by rather sexily.

Watched I Not Stupid Too on Friday, went to Danceworks today. Seems Singapores standards of entertainment is getting much much better. To the green and black team at Danceworks, MAY YOU WIN and be worshipped for life! Esp those flab-less girls.. Rawr.

Had a BEYOND GODLIKE PUGNA, twice, which for DotA is lik, the pinnacle of achievement. Pugna is this small and ugly skeleton hero that's feeble and weak beyond belief. Getting a single frag with him is hard enough siah..

As of today, i am damping the effects of DotA on my life by forcibly introducing a curfew. With a linear decrease in the hours spent DotAing, there will be an inversely proportionate gain in study time and hence academic intellect (which, by KuanYew's Law is crucial to the continued existence of the equation Singapore = RichBiches).

The MSN-gated-channels will also be shut down by limiting the production of ASP (Attention-Seeking Potential). However, this may result in the disrupted symport of songs and interesting conversation topics to fellow muggers students anticipating the 2006 J2 T1 CTs.

Sigh. In the words of the Orcish Peon: "Work work".

SONG WEEK #7!

Well, today won't have the lyrics as did the past few days. Instead, i shall provide the reason for this sexy theme of lyrics:

1) I've recently been obsessed with songs on my Mediasource (1877, btw), especially after having to select club mixes for Maxine/PeiShan and Shao Min for respective parties/dances and what not. Crunky, of course ;) Go to NO ONE ELSE if you want hawt club-bangers please.

2) I've made a 'crunk!!' and an 'emooo' playlist to play in the background for my comp while DotAing! Normally i have some CDs blasting away in my HiFi, but i haven't gotten an album since The Darkness' One Way Ticket to Hell, and was getting a bit sian. To my father reading this: Get my the Ying Yang Twins' "United States of Atlanta" on Amazon!

3) If you've noticed random lyrics scribbled around the place (lecture theatres, A47..), erm.. not to confess to 15 separate acts of vandalism, but yeh, NOTICE THEM. It's my new project! To insert random parts from semi-famous songs that no one can recognise.

Such as "Life is short, you're capable". Any guesses?

Music rocks lah. My parents should have lived vicariously through me like all others, and made me take up piano or something.

Neither of Us Can See - Incubus

BB: I am one big walking chemical reaction
CH: A buzzing hive of cell synapsis and nacent self perception

BB: Isn't it disdainful and curious
CH: That both of us think we know everything

BB:
We both have brains,
We both have eyes
(Neither of us can see)
We both have brains,
We both have eyes
(Neither of us can see)
One in the same, two of a kind
And neither of us can see

CH: I am just a blinking, neon roadside attraction
BB: I sow future wrinkles and I’m told I’m untapped potential

CH: Isn't it disdainful and curious
BB: That both of us think we know everything

BB:
We both have brains,
We both have eyes
(Neither of us can see)
We both have brains,
We both have eyes
(Neither of us can see)
One in the same, two of a kind
And neither of us can see

BB: I am one big, fleeting errant contradiction
CH: It's so good to meet you
BB&CH: We are one in the same

BB: Isn't it disdainful and curious
CH: That both of us think we know everything

BB:
We both have pains,
We both have eyes
(Neither of us can see)
We both have pains,
We both have eyes
(Neither of us can see)
One in the same, two of a kind
And neither of us can see

Soak Up the Sun - Sheryl Crow

My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his office
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching tv
I don't have digital
I don't have diddly squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got

I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun

I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too

I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up

I'm gonna soak up the sun
While it's still free
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me

Don't have no master suite
But I'm still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I'm the one who has the key
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too

I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up

I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up

I'm gonna soak up the sun
Got my 45 on
So I can rock on

Song Week! #3

The Animal Song

When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
A television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far
I've got to break away
So take my hand now

[Chorus:]
'Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

I've been having difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah

[chorus]

Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing
There's so many rules to follow
And I feel it
'Cause I just run away in my mind

Superstars and cannonballs running through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah

[repeat chorus to fade]

Song Week #2!

Who Needs Sleep? - Barenaked Ladies

Now I lay me down not to sleep
I just get tangled in the sheets
I swim in sweat three inches deep
I just lay back and claim defeat

Chapter read and lesson learned
I turned the lights off while she burned
So while she’s three hundred degrees
I throw the sheets off and I freeze

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
That I won’t sleep
I countdown, I look around

Who needs sleep?
(well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
(be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Since the second world war)

My hands are locked up tight in fists
My mind is racing filled with lists
Of things to do and things I’ve done
Another sleepless night’s begun

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
That I won’t sleep
I countdown, I look around

Who needs sleep?
(well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
(be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Since the second world war)

Who needs sleep?
(well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
(be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Since the second world war)

There’s so much joy in life,
So many pleasures all around
But the pleasure of insomnia
Is one I’ve never found
With all life has to offer,
There’s so much to be enjoyed
But the pleasures of insomnia
Are ones I can’t avoid

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
That I won’t sleep
I countdown, I look around

Hala hala hala...

Who needs sleep?
(well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
(be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Since the second world war)

SONG WEEK!

This week is the designated song week, where i'll just paste the lyrics to a song that echoes my life for the day, starting Wednesday 15th Feb.



Wonderwall - Oasis

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how

(x2)
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

Sinusing to... Rock & Roll - Fam'lay

J1 Vball Training #1

Here's a list of possible games that could serve as Icebreakers or just as games to warm the J1s up to each other.

Icebreakers

Introducing Self: J1s are to introduce themselves with the basics (name, class, former school) and are to then divulge a lesser-known fact about themselves.

Double Wacko: Standard with newspaper rolled up (or a volleyball in place that can be thrown?). J1s sit in a circle, with J2s standing behind them. One person in the centerr holds a vball, and attempts to throw it at a person after hearing his name called. Only the one standing behind may call out the name for the one in the inner circle. Happens until the Wacker successfully hits the person, and hence swaps places with him.

Soccer Monkey: J1s stand in a huge circle, with one in the center as the designated monkey. They ten try to pass it to one another via kicking and have to call out the other person's name. If the monkey gets the ball, the person who last touched it becomes the monkey in his place.


Games

Green-Line Tag: Everyone is only allowed to run on the green-coloured lines inside the indoor gym. Not run, CRABWALK. 2 catchers are released into the crowd and whomever they tag become catchers themselves.

Chair-Chain: J1s are split into 2 groups of around 9 people. These groups are provided each with 5 or so chairs that they have to be on at all times. These chains are hen required to move from one place to another in a race. Winners choose losers' forfeits, etc.

Cat/Mouse: J1s stand in a double-ringed circle, with one 'Cat'cher and one free mouse. The cat tries to tag the mouse. If the mouse stand behind the pair within the circle, the person in front is displaced and becomes the new mouse. This can be used as an ice-breaker game as well.

Digging Challenge: J1s are split into 2 teams and compete to see who can keep the ball aloft the longest by digging/setting. Winners chose losers' forfeits, or just forfeits in general.


Other things to do: Water breaks, Briefing by capt/vicecapt, intro to volleyball (need a script for this)



That was on Wednesday, the J1s first training which can be said to be quite successful. First was meeting the J2s and intermingling, then went on to games and digging. Then finally, a digging competition which really built up their teamwork (team 1 won and could choose the punishment: either team 2 does sprints or both teams jog. Of course, they did the expected 8D)

Being the 'J1 Training Coordinator' is super cool lah! I get this warm fuzzy feeling inside when coaching the new, young and promising vballers.. Oh, and can subject them to the joys of PT also ;)

MENG! Don't forget tomorrow's! 4-6ish, PT! Wahahahaha
