It's a new year again!

Posted 2002-01-01 (火) 午後10:15 by terra

It’s a new year again! While I really like to be optimistic about beginnings, I can’t believe it’s the end of the school holidays and back to school again. Yeeeeeeeeewwwww… This semester looks pretty bleak…programming assignments, school homework etc. =( Last sem seems like a holiday compared to this one. But then again, school hasn’t really started yet, so I really can’t say for certain. Let’s hope things aren’t as bad as they look like they are going to be.

New year resolutions? Not many that I can list — didn’t really think about it. Well, let’s hope I can find something to enrich my (boring) life, get good grades, and basically enjoy as much as I possibly can.

Ashtanga Christmas

Posted 2001-12-26 (水) 午前1:25 by terra

Woohooo… I got an Ashtanga yoga mat and mat carrier for Christmas from my mom. Just the very present I wanted!!!

Actually, I chose it myself *sheepish look*… my mom accompanied me to my yoga center where she paid for it with her credit card…hehe… but let’s forget that…

This morning (after I wake up later) I’m going start a habit of doing yoga/pilates at home (yoga classes are getting too expensive). Normally, I only do handstands against the wall because headstands are a bit dangerous if you don’t have the right support (ie cushioning). But with this mat, it makes my life a lot easier.

Bored, bored, bored...

Posted 2001-12-20 (木) 午後4:20 by terra

Bored, bored, bored… I’m still at home, have books to read but don’t feel like reading, the next TV show that’s worth watching is at 5:30PM.

I think humans have been completely consumed by media. If there isn’t any television shows/movies to watch, books/newspapers to read, there’s nothing much else that we can do in our free time. The Internet is such a big part of our lives that we really can’t survive without it anymore. It’s very sad actually. Alternatives are like, going to the beach, or cycling etc, but over here, it can be a bit of a chore doing all those: the beach is a litterbug’s haven (in other words: filthy); cyclists are parasites to motorists (who don’t realise how lucky they are, sheltered away from the pollution they bring to the air while in their mobile air-conditioned compartments)

The blogger's all right

Looks like the blogger’s (har har) all right. Just need to iron out some formatting bugs and then it’ll finally look presentable.

High on the House

Posted 2001-12-12 (水) 午前2:02 by terra

12 Dec 2001, 2:02 AM — 2:54 AM. Written while chatting on ICQ

Late nights are the best time to get inspired. Somewhere around 2AM—4AM, you’re online, surfing aimlessly, chatting with your late night buddies who range from the deranged and sexually deprived, to those who are simply bored. It is at this point that your mental condition hovers between the fine lines of consciousness and sleep, where words pour out from your shrinking brain mass that is unable to cope with massive overdose of information that is normally stored within. You don’t need sugar, caffeine, or drugs at this point to get on a mental high. All you need is to close your eyes and imagine the muscles of your body succumbing to the arms of Morpheus — but just barely. It is at this point that you force yourself to keep awake: two paths are available to you to choose from: one, the comforts of dreamscape; two, the harsh, dreary environment of real-life. You choose the latter. When you make that choice, for some peculiar reason, everything around you becomes surreal.
