I'm So Tired, But I Can't Sleep - Wednesday, October 24, 2007 at 10:31 AM

I figured it's time for my monthly update. Obviously not to please the throngs of fans who visit my blog daily (something which i can continue to claim shamelessly, as long as i don't install one of those blog counter things.), but, yes, to have that "october 2007" on my archives list. Ridiculous, but soothing to know that though NUS officially OWNS me, i've got something to account for in the 4 years bound by the cursed (business) organisation.

Speaking of which, lately, a lot of my time has been spent on my ee3001 report/project, and i say this in a pull-hair manner mind you. Miscellaneous, off-the-top-of-my-head rantings sounds like a good idea right now, just so to counter balance any form of organisation that might have developed in me. Rather impossible, judging by the state of my room right now, books, clothes, everything everywhere... but hey, why take chances?

1) Music. Lots of Phantom of The Opera. The soundtrack. Yup, you heard me right... I'm a fan of TPOTO. Watched it 4 times, Singapore twice, Broadway once, West End once... and counting. Musically, artistically, poetically etc., it's pure genius.

Just to list some other songs i've pulled out from the 90's: I will remember you (mirrorball vers) - Sarah Mclachlan, Semi-Charmed life - Third Eye Blind.
And the more recent stuff: Boys Like Girls, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus... yea, i'm feeling emo-ish/punk pop.

2) Prison Break and Heroes. Weekly scramble to download it and catch it half a year before the mainstream crowd in Singapore. Yes, that's probably how long Mediacorp will take to bring the series in. Even the 56kbps users can download it more than 10 times over in this time.

3) Pedal Modding! Seems like fun to me. Gonna try my hand on it this holidays. Given that i've only done simple soldering, and have only tried it on a PCB once (so far), i'll have to work progressively. Currently on the list: Monte Allums MT-2 mod and EHX Small Stone Univibe mod. I can't wait. Until then, i got to be more confident of soldering on a PCB and get some diazepem... stupid shaky hands.

4) Soccer watching-wise, it has been a huge pain supporting England. Not that they play badly, though they do very often actually, but everything going on off and on the pitch gets pretty frustrating. Number 1, the English fans. I have never seen supporters boo their players before, other than the English national squad. It's highly retarded, given that they do it when England's cruising to a win. If you ask me, it's just plain arrogance. Number 2, and this one i'm gonna agree with the English fans for once, sack Mclaren already. Tactically, he's plain rubbish. Just look at the match against Russia. Some times it feels like he has 10 different strategies which he randomly picks 10 minutes before kickoff. It's laughable stuff really, to a point i actually cheered when Russia scored the second goal against England. This is one seriously jaded fan here.

5) I need to sleep. Now. Got to wake up in 5 hours' time, plus it's a long day tmrw. Lectures, project meetings, VCF, Resident Evil:Extinction (*cough cough* Milla Jovovich *cough*)

Until next month
