blog. ok.. so i've not blogged for 1 month and 12 days.. think it's e longest blog absence since i started e blog.. currently typing out these stuff on notepad.. ya.. notepad.. cos e stupid blogger must still be thinking tt this is a spam blog and hence, it loves to request my username and password so often.. and at it's whim and fancy.. and tt is after they have sent a real human to come here and verify tt this is not a spam blog.. -.- ya rite.. tell me more..

k.. point not taken.. they keep asking for my details after i have typed finish my stuff and pressed e publish button.. so? so e whole chunk of stuff tt i wrote r lost.. so? so lousy service..

b4 i go on any further.. i think i better warn u tt this will be a v long post..

break. finally e awaited break arrived.. not tt i think i made much use of it anyway.. didn't do much tt was outside e scope of tutorials, projects and assignments.. and it's already friday.. and i've not studied for my IT and maths tests yet.. hurray..

project. just finished consolidating Q1 of e acc project.. project slugging along currently.. hopefully things will speed up when school opens.. and ya.. i feel tt i've suddenly become taller when i am with my group mates.. lol.. evil.. i'm e only guy in e group u see..

driving. gotta start checking out e available slots tml, when e window for booking for dec open.. but first i gotta go down and top up my account b4 i can start booking away.. auto lesson, rest of e parking lessons, revisions and of course TP.. wanna pass during e inter-sem break.. hopefully my drving skills haven gone too rusty in e meantime.. haha.. at most bang into car only ma.. rite..

biz law assignment. am i glad tt my question was easy.. although it was 11 pages worth.. heard other ppl talking about their questions for e assignment.. and ya.. i am glad tt mine's a easy one.. not saying tt i'll score well though.. maybe someone can help me vet it?

AA101 quiz. yup.. easy peasy.. no, really.. quite a few ppl got full marks for it.. me included.. :) but nothing much to boast about.. since it was meant to be easy.. tt's wat e tutor said.. and she also mentioned something to e tune of: ppl ask us y our (NBS) entry requirements are high and yet we dun produce many As and A-s.. so this time round, we will try to produce more.. O.o tsk tsk

5th song. not much progress (read: no progress).. as usual.. not sure if i mentioned this b4.. but i (or rather bra) found out tt there's this elective called DIRECTED READINGS OF MODERN CHINESE SONG LYRICS (IN CHINESE).. prays tt it'll still be available next sem so tt i can take it..

national song writing competition (chinese). just found out about it today from ntu email.. most prob wont be taking part.. unless a melody drops down from e sky for me to fill in e lyrics.. and ya.. if it's gonna drop, then it gotta drop b4 dec something.. forgot dec when...

mob. sian.. haven packed my field pack and sbo yet.. and there's a tech mob next sat.. mob mob mob.. y y y.. burnt weekend ahead..

e-learning week. just saw tt e biz law lecture was uploaded.. 2 full hours of it.. argh.. going to spend 2 hours sitting in front of e com listening to her talk.. gimme e actual physical lecture instead.. anytime..

fm make-up lesson today. attended by prob only slightly more than half e class.. guess e rest figured tt e oppotunity cost of attending it was too high for them..

pangya and dota. i think my skills r getting rusty.. pretty rusty.. and pangya just continued it's crazy rate of patching.. wat can i say.. just hope they can maintain it.. silvia cannon is a killer.. prob will only return to play it's 18 holes when i reach 250y.. which is like nv going to happen.. discovered some interesting commands for e ai map for dota.. pa with buriza and 5 divine = godly.. 5800+ dmg.. first tower down in 4 hits.. enough said..

dreams. had a spate of dream control just a few weeks ago.. feel great to have such a streak after a long period of non-dream control.. and i now noe tt e scientific study of dreams is called oneirology..

i think i'll continue this post some other time.. getting late.. time to catch some winks.. and hopefully, catch a controlled dream.. yeah.. wish me luck..

continued on 3 Oct 1400:

dreams. found a lot of info on lucid dreaming on wikipedia.. they even have a wiki on it.. and in this particular section under dream control, they even teach u how to do certain stunts in yr dream.. for example, for flying, they teach u e different methods of flying, such as:

-"Swimming" through the air. Moving one's body as if swimming, through propel oneself through the air. May be physically exhausting, however.

-Flying like a bird: flapping one's arms/wings serves to propel oneself through the air. (Note: sometimes takes painfully long to gain altitude--not recomended for quick escapes)

-Superman/Neo-style: very high-speed flying, without any effort to speak of. Superman style involves one of the arms outstretched like that of the famous do-gooder, and the Neo style involves both arms lying straight, downwards towards the hips.

funny desciptions, e way they put it.. another funny one is shown for passing through walls:

Like anything in dreams, when it comes to passing through solid objects, expectation is king. If you believe that the object is hard, you will not be able to put parts of your body through it.

One way to pass through a wall is to believe that it is made out of gas, liquid, or some other soft material. Another way is to believe that your own body is ghostlike and ethereal.

If everything else fails, try to hurl yourself through the wall at great speed (see also flying). This should over time build up the needed confidence to be able to penetrate walls at normal speeds.

damn funny..

had a couple of firsts in my dream control experience in this year, particularly e last few months.. one was e conducting of a reality check.. seriously nv expected myself to do one.. usually i would be very confident of e fact tt i noe tt i am dreaming.. but i guess tt time my confidence level wasn't too high.. after all, e stunt tt i was going to try out after performing e reality check was a dangerous one.. so wat was it? well.. jumping off a building.. yeap.. tt was my 2nd time tt i did tt in my dream.. totally adrenaline pumping experience, even though it was only in a dream.. anyway, e reality check tt i did was to pinch myself and feel no pain.. haha..

but.. but, who was to guess tt i did something even more crazy in a later dream? i did a few building jumps, all in e same dream.. kinda felt like those extreme-sports free-running ppl.. no barriers.. yeah man..

another first came in me flying to this person's house to look for e person.. sadly and irritating enough, e person was not at home.. argh!!! i think of all e possible stunts tt can be done in a dream, my weakest has got to be summoning objects and people.. i totally sux at it.. lol..

now wat i have in mind for my next dream control is pretty crazy and most likely to fail.. i'm going to try to bring someone from his dream into my dream.. ya.. u nv read wrongly.. e idea actually came about some years ago and considering tt i have done just about any stunt tt my puny mind can come up with, i think i'll do this for a change.. be on e lookout to see my notice on e failed attempt.. lol..

of course to do wat i stated above, i need to find other ways to meet up with e person in e first place.. currently thinking of calling e person up with my hp in e dream, then arranging to meet at a particular place..

uncontrolled junction. there's this uncontrolled junction ie. trafficlight-less junction some distance from my hall.. between e art school and hall 2.. wasn't really surprised to see tt an accident had happened there while i was walking to my tutorial venue this morning.. just don't understand which stupid guy refuse to install traffic lights there.. it's not as if traffic flow is low at tt junction, so as to warrant it being devoid of traffic lights.. also, e recently added plants and barriers just only served to further inconvenience jaywalkers, although not to e point tt they will be obedient and start using e not-so-nearby zebra crossings.. i seriously think whoever has e power to install traffic lights there but did not do so, have no brains..

IT quiz. just completed it today.. had a sinking feeling when i saw my results on e screen.. got a 75/100 when e average was 78.2.. quite demoralising.. maybe it so just happened tt i got a more difficult set of questions.. bleh.. anyway, it seemed as though e tutor talked too much for once.. and for nobody's good.. he said tt it takes someone spectacular to fail e quiz.. which as it happened, was wat 2 or 3 students did.. and it was e first time tt anyone failed e quiz..

MAS801. just pray tt e mid-term test for this elective tml would end up better.. gotta go off now and start studying for it..

word count. so this ends my extremely long post.. lol.. all 1671 words of it..
