2 more days
Ever felt this immense pressure building up in you, and when you're reaching breaking point, you feel like there is nothing at all? Just a constant melody of emptiness playing . Like you're not needed, wanted or loved.
Hmm, yep, the emo cell is active tonight.. it definitely is.

Day 16- Elated
Rest of the day was spent at ivens and doing some work. Had a jog and went to meet the secondary peeps for steam boat at calin's. Somehow, I really feel out of the loop.I think its unfair to pin the blame on anyone on this though. Period

The cold shower
The practice of taking cold showers in the morning is extraordinarily revitalizing and has been used therapeutically all over the world for thousands of years.
Gurudev Khar Khalsa, a Sat Nam Rasayan healer and Kundalini Yoga teacher in Los Angeles sent this information on the healing power of cold showers.
"Cold Water Massage Therapy is the one of the healthiest and inexpensive of therapies. Simply massage the body with almond oil before taking a shower. Shower in cold water until your body temperature rises and no longer feels cold, but toasty and warm. Make sure the bathroom is heated. Never get out of a cold shower into a cold room.
*** Please note: Cold showers should not be taken during a women's time of menstruation. A woman needs extra rest and gentleness during her menses. Taking a cold shower is too much for the reproductive system during menstruation. A lukewarm shower is recommended. Generally speaking, hot showers are not good as they tend to depress the various physiological systems of the body.
Cold showers have the following positive effects:
* Brings blood to the capillaries, therefore increasing circulation throughout the body.
* Cleans the circulatory system.
* Reduces blood pressure on internal organs.
* Provides flushing for the organs and provides a new supply of blood.
* Strengthens the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems.
* Contracts the muscles to eliminate toxins and poisonous wastes.
* Strengthens the mucous membranes, which help resist hay fever, allergies, colds, coughs.
Many health problems are reduced or even eliminated over time by providing proper circulation of the blood to the affected area using the cold shower massage.
"Ishnan" is the term used in the old days when people in India referred to cold showers (very cold showers). "Ishnan" is the point at which the body, by its own virtue, creates the temperature that it can beat off the coldness of the water. This happens when the capillaries open with the onset of the cold water. They close again during the course of the cold shower and it is at that point that all the blood rushes back to flush the organs and the glands. This process allows the glands to renew their secretions and "youth" (i.e. young glands) again returns to the body."
The information is extracted from earth clinic which is well known for many home based remedies and health solutions similar to the one above. So , why not switching of the heater, and refresh yourself with a cold shower . =)
Day 15- Lazing around...
Sad day for marcus.. His fish died. Hur, badly wounded fellow already actually.. oh well... maybe he'll consider getting another one soon enough.

day 13-here without you baby..
Marcus got his first betta from iven for free today. He is quite excited about it, kept asking me on betta care and all.. he even setup an account at arofanatics. Kids.
I feel old saying that actually. Maybe its just plain jealousy that all the KIDS now are at some count down party at home while this 22 year old man is staying at home sipping wine and using his lappy. Oh well, merry christmas everyone ,have a blast~

Day 8-the sunday without you
The net book value lesson =D
Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?
I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here.
I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above.
You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York .
My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married?
I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you?
Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit.
If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden ( ? ) , $250k annual income is not enough.
I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches are only average-looking? I've met a few girls who don't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys.
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)
Ms. Pretty

An awesome reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan:
Dear Ms. Pretty,
I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor.
My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here.
From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you.
The answer is very simple, so let me explain.
Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty"and "money" : Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square.
However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason.
The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year.
Hence from the view point of economics,
I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worse 10 years later.
By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a "trading position".
If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased".
Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you,but will not marry you.
I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income.This has better chance than finding a rich fool.
Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in "leasing" services, do contact me.

Day 7- Friends are the finest balm for the bruised soul
Total bill came up to a 125 but i guess its quite worth the price. Though honestly, I don't think i can indulge in much of this extravagant any more.
Watched Tron after wards.
Gary suggested the show. I thought it was so so only,with the scientific sci fi plots and all, it kinda reminded me of the matrix.
Walked around marina to clark quay with ern and gary afterwards. Lou had to go to this wedding he dread. Poor lad, got to face his greatest fears. Don't understand why he is so afraid of losing..
That's all for now.. Out.

Day 6- you're the one that hurt me most..
hmm, dun really have anything nor in the mood to update anything now actually. Maybe i'm going to cycle.
out.

day 5 - an empty street,an empty house, a hole inside my heart
As promised, more pictures of the fries, don't be mistaken by the blown up pictures, the fries are really damn small and I had to strain my macro lens to its max in order to take this few shots. cute aren't they. They're probably just over 24 hours old now. Still feeding of their yolk sac, in another 24 hours, they're mouth will be fully developed. That's when the feeding starts.
Hit the library today to do my work. Was worried about the fries so I cam back early to tend to them. Lucky they're all doing fine, was worried that the lack of parental care would cause the culture to crash.
Finally received a reply from tickle monster who is currently heading to paris now. Wish i was there to enjoy the scenery with her. Beautiful scenery with her, what else can be more magnificent then that? haha

They hatched!
Day 4 - Every step I take , Every move I make, Every Single day, Everytime I pray .. I'll be missing you..
Ay, i'm still stuck in school doing up my assignment. Tsk, halve the day was spent revising my work inorder for me to start on my assignment . Tough times don't last , tough men do huh..
Speaking of which, a familiar figure popped out from the corner of my desk just moments ago. Yong chee heng. Haha, he was frantically searching for a lap top to edit his work and decided to randomly ask the first person he saw that has one. Who knows that he'd bump into me , such coincidence, tsk.
I'm suspecting the white spawn will not be successful again this time. I saw the nest dissipating this morning with the eggs scattered all around the place. I'm thinking that the male is not fertile , sad case, guess I'll need to acquire another specimen soon.
The school's library is extremely peaceful and quiet at night actually. Shows how much the students here appreciate the library. Well, I figured that I won't be able to concentrate at home any way, might as well sit my ass down snugged in a quiet corner in the library.
10 more days to Christmas, anybody out there without anything to do or any where to go yet?

Day 3-Whites spawn again
I'm working on yet another assignment again. Infront of my naggy friend, Mr Seah Chong Tuck who kept distracting me from my work. Nah, he's innocent, I'm actually totally clueless on my assignment and has been staring a blank screen ever since I switched on the laptop.
Had a bit of a scare just now regarding my modules exemptions.Called the student help desk already regarding the issue. They apparently made a mistake regarding my exemptions for my course. Hopefully things will get validated soon enough or else, I've to go through 3 years of studying in that wretched school.
Ay, tickle monster should have reached Uk by now. Hope she safe and sound. Ok, time for dinner, Seah is getting freaking irritating and impatient..

Day 2- Good bye my lover, I'll be missing you
Thoughts on expectations erupted again as I recall my friend's predicament.Thoughts on my life led me to think about the tickle monster, eventually.
In a few more hours she'll be on a flight towards the UK with her sisters . The song Goodbye My Lover by James blunt came up while I'm typing this post .While the room got engulfed in a melancholic atmosphere, I seek comfort from thinking about my assignment due tomorrow. Damn, too much unfinished business..

Day one -First day that i saw you, thought you were beautiful..
Alas, sweet liberation from National service was without doubt, delightful. School brings about a new form of freedom and I'm pretty comfortable with this life now.
I wonder though, where my limits would extend to this comfort. Patrick just told me he is quitting school first thing on Monday . Tough school and environment , and some personal issues caused him to reach this daunting settlement. He has always been a champ since primary school and I'm sure that this phase is only going to be a stepping stone for the greatness that is coming next for him.
However,I shuddered with the thought that I could jolly well reach his position as well. It will be such great turn of events that I can't imagine the conclusions that follow suit. I don't have my friend's tenacity to adapt and plan and execute his plans . I can't seem to garner confidence nor reassurance for the future that seems so bleak.
Ay,today marks another 2 weeks apart from the tickle monster. Well, it may seem minuscule as compared to the staggering 2 months (I know some peeps out there maintain long distance relationship and you might probably be laughing your air heads off now . I'll give it to you, because I can't imagine myself in your shoes) we had , how ever, I seem to be anticipating a draggy two weeks coming. Especially so when the 2 weeks is covering Christmas. Tsk, all well, enough of whining,time to hustle with my POA assignments and notes again.
