closing time

why would local kids wear hoodies in burning hot weather?
i mean, fair enough, you wanna wear the hoodie as a sweater (yes tazkiah), but do you really need
to put on the hood?
are we living in siberia?
stop trying to copy everything you see on mtv, douchebags (calvin, this is how you spell it)

cesc fabregas is only 20.
what is he doing being the best player in the premier league?
the kid is pure quality.
liverpool were struggling to cope with arsenal's exceptional movement.
this is the gunners season, although united and chelsea are gonna push em to the hilt.
liverpool has too many internal problems to mount a serious challenge.

i miss playing football.
its like a piece of me is missing,
i feel incomplete.

i watched superbad.
it was pretty funny, but i expected better.
some of the jokes were flat.
the same old ploy of high school kids trying to get laid is getting a tad boring.

ever had a girl sit in front of you in the theater,
and because she doesnt get any of the jokes,
but heard the movie was funny,
she laughs at the most odd parts?
like during a sad scene, she guffaws?
i had such a woman in front of me during superbad.
it was annoying.
welcome to my life.

school is finishing up.
deadlines are everywhere!
like herpes!!!

aite thats all
much love to those who matter
especially the gf.
im out.

let it die

so im done with the big Investment Analysis exam
spent everyday since last Thursday studying for it.
including good old hari raya.
Thanks nus!
anything else?
how bout an exam on dec 31 at 11pm?
Sounds good?

Anywho,
finance is a killer.
Killer of a subject.
Give me marketing, sociology, philosophy, management…
anything else.
Ah but then again im majoring in finance.
Good job, boy wonder.
Your superpower must be to be a complete retard.

If you guys can, get your hands on the following albums:

foo fighters – Echoes Silence Patience and Grace

kanye west – Graduation

50 cent – Curtis

definitely worth a listen.

how about this for a goal?

taking some time off
to regroup and refresh.

love to all those who matter.
im out.

kick push

"and so they kick, push,
kick, push,
kick, push,
kick, push,
coast
and away they rolled"

[lupe fiasco - kick push]

that pretty much says just how i feel right now.
i really do miss skateboarding.
honestly.
thanks to my dodgy knee, thats gone as well.
along with football.
thanks.

anywhoo,
school is in full swing.
mid-terms here and there,
projects/meetings/deadlines dominating my calendar.

as i sat in the library to study on a lovely saturday afternoon(yes.kill me.)
i hunched over a couple of textbooks, trying to absorb useless information.
there were so many pertinent thoughts going thru my head.

if you put a bunch of hermit crabs together,
are they still hermit crabs?

why are the warning pictures on the cigarette boxes so exaggerated?
how come ive never seen the dude who has his entire lung resting on his neck?
and does he use it as a pick up line?
"hey yeah im the dude from the marlboro boxes
recognize my lung on the side of my neck?
it 'breathes' for you, honey."

is there really a difference between the $2 fashionista-accessory red bull from belgium and the $0.50 gold red bull from thailand (aka kratangdinensawadikappen)?

is t-pain actually the first black robot?

is kanye west actually a preppy white man?

is it mandatory for emo bands to have awesomely long song titles?
"hi this is our new single, which i composed while i was bleeding from cutting my wrists and sniffing some glue...its called:
'i like to cry and make my mascara run and mess up my uneven fringe and cry after that about my messed up fringe and face'
hope you guys like it!
vote for it on TRL yeah yeah woo!"

yeah thats what went thru my head.
all those thoughts in 2 seconds flat.
that is my super power.
thinking of rubbish while 'studying'.

if i had 2 phrases to summarize my school,
it would be:
cap scores
internships

thats all.
nothing else is taught or matters in my school.
nothing.
everything revolves around these 2 concepts.
everyone is obsessed with these 2 things.
im not even exaggerating.

it absolutely negates the experience that university is supposed to be,
and undermines any genuine intentions a student might harbour
to broaden his perspectives and horizons.
honestly, theres no 'pursuit of knowledge' etc etc
all one big marketing campaign,
masquerading as a holistic university experience.
behind the facade is a sad, empty little school.
a school that has bought into its own propaganda,
and has absolutely lost sight of the goal
that a university should aim to achieve and maintain.
that of 'educating' the students.
we're losing out to other schools, to other faculties.
because of this obsession with image and with how we project ourselves.
and how we can secure that prized internship.
and how we can score the best grades with the least effort on the easiest modules.
its a sad situation.
one that many are not aware of.
due to the hard work put in,
to gloss over all the school's inadequacies,
and paper up over all the cracks in its academic and intellectual foundations.

sorry bout the rant.
had to get it out of my system.
and yes you may ask
"why are you still there?"
people make mistakes.
theres no guarantee that the other business schools are any better.
maybe its this country.

ok thats it for now.
much love to all those who matter.
especially le gf. (hope youre doing better.kiss)
im out.
