*Thinking Mode*

Just visited a website with all those PhD studentships...wanted to find something tt Marpig likes & can do...but quite disappointing because mostly are for UK/EU students...SIGH...

Wanted to do PhD really badly...but don noe start from where...how to find/search? Should Marpig search for the Univeristies to go to OR search for the type of courses OR type of industries Marpig wants to go into in future?

Should start by asking wat Marpig wants to do in future right...did tt...realise Marpig is a jack of all trades but master of none...YET. SIGH... aerodynamics? ttz diff...fluids? even worse...thermal...always wanted to...always...medical...can collaborate with thermal as well...will be fun...just like Marpigz FYP...Design & Manufacturing?... well... Marpig ok with it...Microelectronics? Well... Marpig work with SMT and had quite abit of affinity with solder paste...ahhaha encounter solder paste in IA as well as when working as R & D engr...can incorporate thermal as well... but...SIGH... see, jack of all trades...abit here, abit there...

Can anyone tell Marpig how Marpig can go about finding a suitable PhD? Was already eyeing some lecturers now...hope to be their research student...but then again...I don noe...Kao. Felt rejected whenever Marpig see "For UK/EU students only" SIGH... should Marpig email lecturers in NUS? Ask them for advise? Wat say all of u? Abit crazy right...suddenly email them...

Abit lost bout the future...Is Marpig trying to fly? Will she ever succeed? VERY sad now...

Think maybe could find a lecturer to tok to...wat say all of u?

SIGH...SIGH...

2 Months, 4 Days

Marpigz been in London for 2 months & 4 daes... how time flies... seems like yesdae! Settling in well...not too bad...weather not cold YET...though windz gettin stronger and sun went to bed at around 430pm... think winter coming... hmmm... but itz late... well.. cos of global warming ba...

Been harping on coursework & programming...kinda received lamentation from some readers... Marpig think so too... but cant blame lah! Really very vexed but now, the sun is shining & the ice are melting... hmm sounds familiar... think itz a phrase in The Phantom... cant put a finger on it though...

Tot of a new comic character to add in Marpigz comic... should Marpig describe?... hmmm.. think Marpig shall start sketching & giving characters descriptions soon...then will release a series of comic stories... think it will really spice up bloggie & frens of Marpig will be delighted! Hiak hiak hiak! See how... no time right now! Oh oh, got to share pictures of new mobile! Itz a gd mobile...selling point is tt it is equipped with MemStick which allows very ez transfering of files...just like a thumbdrive! *VAVAVOOOM!*

BTW, JM! *Woof woof Grrrr* don like tt wor...i will try to get my motorbike licence no matter wat in the future! U just wait! :P

Hyms

Went church again with sis...quite fun cos hyms sang todae are those tt Marpig noes! Here goes!

(Sang this when Marpig, Corn & ML "trapped" in Sentosa on a night & tot we met some devil or wat & all 3 of us started holding each other & singing hyms till dawn! DUH! In the morning, saw tt it was some stupid guys...)

To God be the glory great things he had done
So loved He the world tt he gave us His son
Who yielded His life in atonement for sins
And open the life gate tt all may go in
Praise the Lord x 2
Let the earth hear his voice
Praise the Lord x 2
Let the pple rejoice
Oh come to the Father thru Jesus His son
And give Him the glory great things he had done

Blest r u Lord of all creation
Thanks to yr gdness this bread we offer
Fruit of the earth
Work of our hands
It will become the bread of life
Blessed be God x 2
.........

and also Amazing Grace... tt is a sad one... think sang it during Marpigz momz funeral in church?...painful memory...think if Marpig got a Pensieve, it will be damn full...

:D)

Once again, Marpigz mood cycle is at itz peak! DVD "Return to Oz" was here, watched it! So nice!!! Gonan watch it again! Don't know if bro in law helped me order "Fool of the world and the flying ship"...

Met a fellow Singaporean...female, 2 yrs Marpig junior, doing MEng, came London str after A levels, said Singaporez Mech Eng too diff.. hmm.. was from ACJC...saw her using the foolscap, dadz a pilot with SQ!!! WOW...

Marpig will definitely try to learn flying once Marpig got the money & time! Wonder who will be my 1st passenger...then again...years ago Marpig was also asking who will be my 1st pillion...until now...Marpig still haven got the motorbike licence...only a car driving licence as well as a power boat...hmmm...

Think when Marpig goes back, maybe should try joining some yacht club so tt Marpig can rend a power boat and go fishing or sun-tanning with a couple of frens! :)) Anyone keen?! Marpig is a safe and xxxciting driver! Those who sit in Marpigz car b4, should noe it better! Oh, don worry, Marpigz tester for power boat said Marpigz "Man Overboard" drill was v gd! :p

Miss driving the car and boat...*VA VA VOOOM!*

YEAH!!! *Bouncin' on BEE FAT ROUND TUMMY!*

*BEAMING ALL OVER!*

*STILL CANT STOP BEAMING!*

*BEAMING!*

FINALLY! Marpig has got the right program, right function, right answer to Numerical Method coursework! Feeling vvv harpy! Wat a sense of achievement! Yes yes, some comp wiz will think tt Marpig is being silly to get so harpy over such mini programming task but hey hey! Itz Marpigz own hardwork! Especially Marpig has been cracking brain, lost sleep, lost alot hair (cos pull too much) over this problem! But itz quite silly of Marpig cos she 4got to apply conservation of energy to another system and harpily write equation! *Silly Marpig!* But, like wat Beenie said, writing a program, seeing it work is really a sense of satisfaction! *BIG WIDE SMILE*

Finished PM assignment one month in adv...cool...gonna hand in on mon...now with Marpigz sis for proof-reading... later gonna finish Numerical Method coursework also...hope can finish wirting & debugging codes... (3 codes to write, Newton Raphson, Bisection, Fixed Pt Iteration) got Newton Raphson so now left 2 more to go!

Seems like Scuba Diving!

If only there is a chance, Marpig will love to be a marine biologist! Imagine all the scuba diving, experiences with giant clams and horrible groupers, etc! Imagine all the lovely marine life! ARGH!!! Marpig must quickly earn alot and be a veteran diver! Well.. hope so in the future... so cool...all the corals..wow... *dreaming*

Dear frens, must go to this website http://www.arkive.org/species/GES/

It has got very nice movie clips on giant clams, etc! Its just like you are scuba diving in the sea! MUST VISIT URL! Oh boy oh boy!

OOOPS! Marpig has once again distracted from study! TSK.

Marpig in Wonderland

Been wondering from 8pm till 2am...kept going around the NM coursework... itz definitely smth tt Marpig miss out...so close to finding the required function yet so far...

Got a little lumpy at throat...makes swallowing saliva painful... :( TSK. Cant sleep...damn awake...mind keep thinking of the problem...itz like a pipe tt is blocked...want to 通 cannot 通...VERY VERY ANNOYING & MAKES MARPIG VERY 不通! Wahlao!

WHAT IS MISSING?!!!!?!?! *pulling hair & frowning*

Used up all of Marpigz brain juices...kept feeling thirsty...

Tuesday, October 25

(^|_|^)

Marpig tot know how to do one of the courseworks...in the end, wrong. Still figuring it out...Going crazy...really going crazy...is Marpig stupid or wat?! Gas A and Gas B, mixture. Then comes out as Gas C. Temp of A and B given, find Temp of C...hmmm so ma.ha+mb.hb = (ma + mb)hc...find Temp C... How?!!??! must find tt "illusion function" to plot 1st... or is it solving simultaneous equations?! Kao.

YF, if u read this, quickly help me!!! Itz thermal & numerical methods! ARGH!

绝世猪密集---第二式:无聊天书

PS was saying Marpig should stop letting mind wander all over the place... should concentrate in studies...but Marpig really going bonkers cos no entertainment but work n work n more work... (>_<)

Managed to finally noe how to use W800i...quite a gd phone! Marpig fell in love with it liao :p! PS, buy W800i also leh! You will love it! :p *evil grin* The pictures are excellent, the music & sound are excellent, the design & look are excellent! Best is can use drag & drop like a thumbdrive to copy music/pictures to the MemStick Duo provided! Cool!!! Marpig simply love Sony products!

JM was saying she wanna get a Golden Retriever...but itz gonna cost a BOMB & HDB don allow big dogs wor...think she should rear JG instead cos JG can still go up Mt Faber with JM to play frisbee as well as eat dim sum with her! :D)
Know which company this logo belongs to? :p Should also know wat Marpig has in mind with regards to why the abbrev. is NBC also right? hiakhiakhiak!

Lamentation Again

Was having lecture todae...an idiot kept kicking the leg of Marpigz chair...itz a very slight kick...but in a small pin-dropped-also-can-hear little room, it really gets on the nerves of Marpig...really wanted to turn around & use Marpigz 绝世猪密集---第一式:美人怒眼神 and tell tt idiot "Whatz yr prob?!" but fortunately for tt idiot, Marpig has got very good temper (Marpig rarely gets angry, yes, loud, but not angry), Marpig didnt 出招...算他走运!

Then got another idiot, same lecture...lecturer was writing equations on the board...was already diff deciphering wat the heck the lecturer was doing on top of the fact tt the lecturer almost lost himself too, and this idiot keeps saying out this & tt bout wat the lecturer should write. NON-STOP leh! In the end, lecturer turn around & said to him "It will be better if you are not helping". See, this kinda pple should just keep quiet!

Marpig means, if he knows so much, go up & teach lah! He knows but others may not & want to listen mah! If he cant go up & teach but is among us who are also reading for a masters, then he should just STUFF HIS P**** UP HIS BIG GAP AND SHUT IT. No point trying to show the whole class/lecturer hez gd or wat...therez 101% no need.

"If you are gd, don say it. Let others do the praise."

真的是北达汗!

够了!

北达汗! Marpig do programming until very tired liao...gonna stopped doing any work now...gonna pack bag, install SonyEricsson programs then gonna watch Bedknobs & Broomsticks then read & sleep! Molo long dae Mondae again! TSK. 时光一去不回头...

"I know Santa's coming this way, he's loaded lotsa goodies & toys in his sleige" Listening to Jazz album...Cyrus Chestnut's Charlie Brown Xmas :))

*Flustered*

Stopped doing any notes from textbooks. Only notes from lectures. Book gonna be returned to lib very soon! OMG. Had to start the momentum next week! Marpig just spent the whole weekend at home doing the PM & DSS assignment! OMG OMG! Itz bad. Must speed things up!! Donnoe y Marpig took so long...

Fridae night and Sat night keep doing DSS. MATLAB lah.. driving Marpig crazy... but finally manage to get eigenvalues & eigenvectors...so still ok...Sun whole dae trying to write a FORTRAN code for solving polynomials using Newton Raphson's method...just managed to get it...quite harpy n satisfying! At least got smthing...so PM assignment mostly done!...eh... haven... cos only got the code, haven calculated for all the different polynomials yet! Kao. But with tt prgram, itz easy peasy! :D))

Just received new mobile phone this morning! SonyEricsson's W800i!!!! yeah! but scared got scratch so really don noe should use it or not...hmmm nice phone though but no time to play with it cos writing code mah..duh...

Been at the computer till Marpigz eyes blur already...*tired eyes*

Lack of Concentration

Marpig realises she always get easily distracted to food, comics, dreaming, travelling the whole world, etc. Of course, if Marpig was to really concentrate in something, she will 4get everything else.

Spent the whole dae in a very unconstruction manner...didnt really finish anything...but will do so later for PM assignment...mind keeps wondering to comics todae...

Have some comics tt Marpig simply must buy & add into collection! Saw sets of comics by Tezuka Osamu (手塚治虫) in Kino back in Singapore...didnt get it cos coming to London soon & cant possibly buy it...SIGH & got this comic 一磅的福音 by Rumiko Takahashi (高桥留美子) tt Marpig wanted for many years but no news cos no more in Singapore & cant find it anywhere...bought comics by same author also 人鱼传说 which is very nice but 4got to put inside luggage! :s OMG. Really misses Marpigz collection of comics back at home...:( oh man...

Was going to buy 400+ worth of EC Comics also from US...itz a classic collection and got 15 hard covers comic books in total titled "Tales from the Crypt", "Vault of Horror" & "Haunt of Fear". Itz damn nice! If Marpigz fren 12 noe why it is captivating, try going to National Library and find these titles...sure have & itz really nice!

*Whispers* Marpig wanted so much to collect them tt Marpig once tot of not returning the books to the lib, but then again, Marpig is such an angel so didnt do smth like tt! *proud chilish beaming* :))

Suddenly recalled tt Marpig used to borrow Garfield comic books as well as chinese comics 聊斋志义(did Marpig got the chinese words right?) back in sec schz lib...was also crazy over Snoopy & Asterix! hahahaha Actually, Marpig still is crazy about her comics! Oh, lurves Baby Blue & Sherman's Lagoon too! JM loves them too! XT also have a passion for comics ya! :D

There is a museum in Japan tt Marpig wishes to go too tt is dedicated to Tezuka Osamu... go http://www.tezuka.co.jp/ damn nice website!

Once again...Marpig is dreaming...but then...the most pleasurable thing beside wine, food, sex, is to get detached from the real world, where Marpig can travel almost anywhere which will not be limited by Marpigz wildest imagination!

好咸呀!!

Had some kind of chinese take-away fried rice for dinner...damn giam! Think itz like tons of msg/salt...whichever! Eat until tongue almost dropped!

Been working on MATLAB & SIMULINK for hours...don noe watz wrong with model...looks fine...results looks fine...until input is a step function...just tt tiny link smthing wrong!!! Kao! How to debug?!

Discovered tt all 3 courseworks, all need programming...yes, even PM!! Kao. Need to use iteration (Marpig thinks) to find IRR = internal rate of return... Kao!

Don noe wat Marpig is doing for masters? O right, just a snapshot of smthing Marpig has been doing for the whole night...though picture looks easy & nice, behind all those, therez lotsa equations etc! Kao. SIGH...

Marpigz Dream (One of the many many many ...)

Marpig used to love drawing since young and even wanted to become a comic artist! Sent a few comic strips & a comic story to Xing Qi Wu Zhou Bao and Chuang Yi b4...comic strip with Marpigz pig was published as well as a comment made with a comic character but the comic story tt Marpig drew in sec sch (PS, Mimi T should noe right?), didnt get any response. The original copy was not even returned... :( Since then, didnt draw much except the trademark pig.

Marpig still lurves reading comics & watching animation/cartoons though...

Anyway, when Marpig was tolking cock to Beenie while we used to work together, Marpig suddenly tot of drawing comics and/or have those created comic characters used in the restaurant cum pub tt both of us wanted to open. Marpig was so enthu (as usual) tt Marpig already tot of how the characters will look & had even given them names! :D)

Maybe during Marpigz free time (normally don have), Marpig might draw & then let all these characters 首次亮相 in Bloggie! Then Marpigz frens can then give Marpigz advices too! But then again, Marpig is afraid of unscrupulous pple who live to violate copyright laws...hmm...we'll see how it goes...

"Woodshavings" & Noodles for a Quack Vampire

A couple of daes back, Marpig was cooking lunch once again in Cosy Barn...Noodles, tomato soup and attempting to eat canned mackeral in tomato sauce but changed to canned salmon instead. In the end, had smth nice but looks like a dish for vampires...hahahaha (Anyway, Marpig lurves her chilli as much as tomatoes!)














Had "woodshavings" for bf smtimes...basically itz mixed wheat cereals with some raisins...looks will woodshavings mixed up with milk but hey...itz actually nice wor...hmm...really helps in having large amt of smooth poo poo! :D)) But frankily...nth is nicer than having nasi lemak, chao mee fen/chao mian, Xiu Ji Niang Dou Fu for bf!!!!!!!!! Marpig MISSES nice bf back in Singapore!!!!!!!!! Kway Chap...Marpig misses u...*slurp*

Greggs Dae Again?!

It has since been another week...Friday again = Greggs Dae...had a vege pasty todae...not bad...very hot...(spicy is spicy, hot is hot umk!) but Marpig getting tired of it. During last lecture of d dae, Marpig was seriously comtemplating whether to get Greggs, Subway or Wasabi...

Chain of tots goes like:

Greggs pasty = 1.05. Might as well get Subway which is bigger & cost 1.95. But then again, might as well get something nicer, bigger at Wasabi at 4.17. Then again, gonna have dinner soon and Wasabi costs too much & too big a portion for a snack b4 dinner. Same goes for Subway. So, might as well get something cheaper & snack size like Greggs.

Kinda boh^2 (syntax in MATLAB for boh boh squared or boh raised to a power of 2) but Marpig really was thinking seriously bout it during lecture...as usual...Marpig NEVER compromise in terms of food...itz all or none! :D)) <-- *double double chin*

HEADACHE

Stil headache...think Marpig got some chronic headache...itz crippling Marpig...makes Marpig unharpy...& Marpig got to study...how...

Marpig done with MATLAB notes...didnt do notes on curve fitting/polynomials but think ttz the last bit...so gonna return those MATLAB books molo...

MATLAB & SIMULINK is fun n nice to use...true, itz kinda easier than FORTRAN...cos can plot graphs immediately! WOW! SHIT. To think Marpig still tot FORTRAN easy...hmm...well, in terms of syntax writing, FORTRAN speaks human language while MATLAB toks computerish; in terms of plotting graphs & plotting visual aids, MATLAB is good. GOSH. Next semester gonna learn CFD = Computational Fluids Dynamics...another kind of programming...kao. But, hey, Marpig starts to think tt itz fun! OMG OMG. The world is spinning the other way!

*Cough & pain* Every single time Marpig coughs or clears the throat, head will throb & be painful...*crying* why headache doesnt go away?! Marpig don dare to sleep cos sure wakes up in the middle of the night having splitting headache...eat wat to prevent headache huh? Suddenly tot of xt's mom's ginger liang teh! :D_

Molo got lectures, no time to see doc...maybe see doc on fri if headache still persists...

Sis coming home molo from course...great!

Think Marpig is still a child...mind keeps wondering to the past...missing person no longer here...hoping for time to go back but will never be...SIGH...

Still Headache

Been 2 daes, Marpigz headache still wont go away...throbbing pain on left side...someone help Marpig!

(>_<) Had a never-empty plateful of pasta for dinner cooked by future-bro-in-law. Dont want to waste it so finished it anyway...kept thinking "kill me kill me" while eating every single spoonful...

(>_<) Headache ah...

(^_^) FBIL just ordered "Return to Oz" & "Fool of the World & the Flying Ship" for Marpig over the internet! So harpy!

Am doing a nicely typed lab report with nice pro drawings for DSS...didnt say need to type but was just thinking of impressing & showing more pride in work...wil email lecturer & ask in case he dont appreciate & Marpig would have wasted her time & effort...

Dark Feelings

Hmm...been getting 2 major headaches in a week...really damn painful & itz like the whole head is bursting out the brains...

There is this vaccine tt NHS recommend uni students to get: Mengingitis C

Marpig didnt get cos don think itz necc...but then keeps having terrible headaches...kao.

Paranoidity sets in & now Marpig, with headache, is thinking of death from Mengingitis C...

Wat if Marpig get it? Wat if Marpig die? Wat if Marpig 4get all the memories & become a vege? *Shudders* Marpig still have so many things left undone! Getting PhD, going Capetown, travel all over the world, be a lecturer, have a car, have a nice Cosy Barn to put all comic books & collection of toys, climb & camp, diving, learning to fly, etc...

Think Marpig might just haunt the living if Marpig were to just leave suddenly...wonder how many & who will mourn for Marpig...SIGH...

The headache killing Marpig... :'(

Rojak Feelings All the Way

Haven been wired for almost a week, internet down (again!) at Cosy Barn...duh...Marpig is now going to blog something nice on the 72nd bloggie entry!

1) Gonna give JM a call soon...hiak hiak hiak!
2) Gonna check DSS test results... shit...V scared... SIGH
3) Spent 60 quid (ttz bout 200 SGD) on 8 Nightmare B4 Xmas soft toys & 1 Nightmare B4 Xmas mug! :D) V Harpy! Oogie Boogie!!! :D))
4) FAT...still...FAT (mirror-imagined phrases tt reads both ways...)
5) 4got how to do ODE
6) While Marpig is blogging, her classmate is diligently doing lab. Makes Marpig feel so not KS. Therefore, must increase KS level.

Marpig haven been cutting her nails too & seem quite nice, just like Lady's Fingers! yum yum!



























Friday, October 14

:D)

Just looked at the solutions on the web for the test yesdae!

Hopes of getting 100% = Still dashed
Hopes of getting at least 70% = Very Promising!

:D) Will continue to work hard, harder, hardest!

Ah, gonna reach my 72nd bloggie entry...wat a nice number if Marpigz frens noe wat Marpigz driving at! :p Must really think of something nice to blog.

Meanwhile, itz time to log off & get some pasty at Greggs.

Slacking...

Crazy biaing momentum seems to cool down quite a bit...bad. Will need to keep up the crazy momentum again!

Haven been blogging cos internet at home down again (!)

Just had a 1st test after 1 yr of graduation on thurs...

Hopes of getting 100% = Dashed
Hopes of getting at least 70% = don noe but please let Marpig get it!

LONG DEEP SIGH.

Been down with slight flu & cough for the past week, getting sexy voice soon...

Lost track of how many more days left to return the DSS txtbk...but think itz next thurs...

Today is Friday, so itz Greggs Day. Will go grab a pasty at Greggs later. But then again, wraps are nicer...but then again, more expensive...

Had chicken AGAIN for dinner yesdae. Going crazy soon. Oh man, the amt of chicken Marpig consumes is driving chickens porky. (Love tt pair of Precious Moments figurines, the pair tt is a pig with a sign saying "Eat Turkey" & a Turkey with a sign saying "Eat Ham") hahahahahahahha

Too much chicken...think when Marpig goes back to Singapore, she will want chicken rice without the chicken. But then again, think Marpig may want to get char kway tiao, carrot cake & kway chap 1st! *Slurp!*

No practise questions, too little tutorials, no 10 yr series (not even 5 yrs!)...tsk. How to prepare for exams in January! OMG. Not used to too little practise!

Marpig realise bloggie revolves ard topics of food, despair, worldly shit, human behaviours, memories, fats & more food...hmmmmmm

THAT'S GREAT!

It's Time

Itz time for Marpig to sit in front of the comp, lament at all things in the world.

Had just finished reading news from CNA. Felt a need to lament. Contents may sound harsh but Marpig has always been very blunt & str 4wrd so no point using flowery words.

Muslims all over the world should really stop praying on one Fri & just stay home, think through bout where your faith is bringing you. Marpig usually tolerates all religions, even to the extent of defending some tt are not Marpigz belief. However, as events show too clearly, something has gone wrong in the Muslim community. At least, the black sheeps are creating the trouble.

Jihad, Marpig don really noe 100% of it but noe tt there used to be wars btw Christain crusaders & Muslims. Why? Fighting for land. Wat else. Duh. But tt is history! Itz globalization, itz respect for humanity, for lives! Now! Wat Jihad! Itz crazy! Itz silly! You cant force a Muslim world on others just like no one can force you to bomb & kill!

Watz all the rubbish on freeing oneself from Americans?! They did nth wrong. You didnt rule your country well, ttz why you give others a chance to "help" you. You created troubles, all the more they don 12 leave. Analogy, if a student wants a teacher to stop nagging, he/she has to prove to the teacher he/she is hardworking or something, not being a spoilt brat!

Suicide bombers... Eternal glory?! Or eternal stupidity?! Hatred from your own pple as well as others. Really, how come pple can be so easily brained washed?!

Suicide bombings, not only did it kill the pathetic brainwashed bomber, it also separate him from his family 4ever, leaving widows & orphans behind with no means to survive, kill innoccent pple including your own Muslim pple on top of Asians, Jap, Koreans, Aussie, Americans, Bristish, etc! For wat?!

All religions teach us to be good, but never a religion which teaches pple to carry out war, allow polygamy, carry out killings of innoccent pple.

I totally respect women with tudungs & those who covers themselves from top to bottom. However, I question this in my brain. Why? Reason being not to let other men see your wives. TTz MCP. TTz showing little confidence in yourself as a husband & in your wife. Are you having such low esteem becos of your wifez beauty or in your taste? Are you thinking tt your wife will leave you for other men? Ha. Then why allow polugamy which gives pple rights to marry more than 1 woman? A woman can dress anyway she likes & if she truly loves you, she will not leave you. TTz how a female think & love. Males, take tt. Females are not like males who fell in love with the eyes.

Please, try to come to your senses, do not look upon others with hatred which has no meaning at all. THINK! THINK of things tt are right!

So many disasters nowsadaes, really think itz kind of like retribution. But, will they ever learn?

Suicide bombers...come on, why the leaders don do it themselves? They let you, a small fry, to do it? You are not a small fry? Ha. He tells you tt you will be rewarded when you die...orh~ F**k off! You are going to kill pple, you think Allah will reward you? Imagine, you die while your superior enjoys. Pray for you to succeed in killing pple? Ha. He can sit there, shake his legs, drink his tea, dig his nose, had many wives & pray for you to die with other innoccent pple. Think about it.

Do not do things to let others hate you, there are always black sheeps. But, do not let them take advantage of your goodness.

World, we have enough of problems: bird flu, cancers, diseases, poverty, malnorished orphans, widows, tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, corruption, global warming, human trafficking, etc. We dont need more unhappiness. We dont need more bombings & killings. WE DONT.

Give back to Mother Nature, repay Her for giving you the opportunity to come into this world, to be able to feel, breathe, see, hear, eat, drink, enjoy companies of family & friends. You want to be happy & to live, so do others. You have NO RIGHTS to take away thier lives, for you are not GOD.

美容,护肤,减肥顾问

Had a classmate whom teaches Marpig how to make face looks nicer (put cucumber slices, etc) & also when is the worst & best time to slim down.

Didnt do anything tt she said bout the face, cos cucumbers will be wasted on the face, tt shoud go into the stomach then Marpig all along don use anything on the face except facial wash & moisturizer, don 12 increase cost...

But will try to slim down like wat she said to Marpig:

1 week b4 DaYiMa, is the worst & most difficult time to slim down
1 week after DaYiMa, is the best & easiest time to slim down

Think gonna try it this time!

Marpig is desperate in shedding those fats!

Molo Matlab lab, *SIGH* sure a torture...

Sob Sob

Kao, Marpig was watching What Dreams may Come (starring Robbin Williams?) and guess wat, Marpig was crying for the whole 57+ mins! & ttz only disc 1!

Gonna stop & nap abit now...no mood to study...think pms...

Yawn~

19 daes left?

Lost track of how many daes left for DSS textbk to be returned...anyway, been rather slack all of a sudden...don noe why...think getting tired of being hardworking...hmmm

Haven been blogging for a few daes...don noe wat happen...Marpig is sick, sore throat & cough...














Been eating a scrumptious tuna sub from Subway while watching The Witches! :D) Marpig been feeling HUNGRY constantly! Waist getting larger, weight getting heavier! How?! Was eating the 6" sub & thinking of cooking instant noodles to eat...oh man...damn PIG!

No stamina, now climb stairs can make Marpig pant like anything...aiyo...how?!??!!?!?

Double Chin Marpig...

Feeling Sad is to Be Happy

Buay tahan, Marpigz mood is apparently, most eccentric, most unpredictable, most unusual, etc. Just like a biz cycle, Marpigz mood changes with cresses & troughs, but in a much narrower time scale. Marpig can feel happy one moment & damn sad the other.

Little Britain is really damn funny! Love it! Will buy the VCD once Marpig have xtra $!





































BTW, Noi Nak is almost 2 yrs older now...so is Miss Cambodia...hahahaha how time flies :))

Something tt Cant Be Remembered

Wat is the thing we missed most about a person whom we didnt get to see or had lost? The face? The company? The way the person smiles? The way the person cares for us? None of those actually.

It is the person's voice.

Think deeper & you will noe why Marpig say tt.

Yes, pictures & memories are very impt. However, no matter how gd they are, memories & pictures can never ever let us hear tt person's voice again.

Having lost 2 very dear pple, Marpig realises she can remember the look, the habits, the gestures, everything, even the pain of tt person is so vivid...but, Marpig cant remember the person's voice anymore...wat Marpig hopes is to hear how the person call Marpig's name again...like it used to be...

The thing we missed most is in fact, our dear ones' voices. When the dae comes, we will suddenly think to ourselves, why we didnt video tt person or even record his/her voice...itz lost, forever...

Older Marpig

Burning out...kept studying like preparing for some big exams...cant help it...cos Marpig really 12 do well...& no time, no pple to help also...others don noe (don noe they fake or wat)

Saw Marpig in mirror...eyebags 3fold, a dimple (suddenly) hmmm... is it becos when one gets older, face features also change?

Haven really smile or felt truly happy inside...bad for health...

Hmm...wonder whether have Marpig said thank u/sorry to pple dear to Marpig...this kinda things must do...IN CASE Marpig leave the world suddenly...

"Show heartfelt appreciation & care for all people. The world needs more love. Say your 'thank you' & sorry' lest you wont have the chance in future"

"Itz a wonder how frens noe wat we want to say/feel even without us saying anything"

Wat a "Student"

Received call from Marpigz dad...asking Marpig the upteen times bout burning his pictures in CD. Countless times...discovered one thing bout Marpigz dad which is similar to some students:

1) Want to learn but don put heart into doing so. How to remember?
2) Mistake made, correct it or admit, don put blame on all other things/pple except self.

Anyway managed to burn again...but told Marpigz dad tt itz not comp smth wrong, itz smth he did accidentally & change somethings...but then again, he managed to learn quite abit liao...hmm...

Wat to buy for Marpigz dad & sis for their bdaes?!

The Most Loved & The Most Hated

Most Loved Place: Changi Airport

Had alot of fond & crazy memories there. Started going airport while in sec sch to celebrate birthdaes *grins*, then went there to study (itz a trend then), then sent Marpigz sis off & back & off & back, Marpigz dad as well sometimes, went there when unhappy also to look at aeroplanes. Itz a place where pple come & go, families & frens separate & reunited.

Most Hated Place: SGH

Marpig had a tough life. 1st encounter with death is in Pri 6. Lost someone dear to Marpig; Marpigz godmother. Life is not the same anymore. Been hospitalised & on drip twice. Once cos of food poisoning, another for acute appendicitis. Also been to SGH a few times cos of injuries from hockey. Marpigz dad was hospitalised for heart prob or wat...(cant remember). Then Marpigz mom been in & out of hospital during tt period when she is suffering from cancer...everydae visit her after dinner with dad...stayed with her on tt fateful night...world crushed on tt night...suddenly...lost all senses...all orientation...all feelings...*tears streaming* HATE the hospital. HATE tt familiar smell. HATE tt familiar corridors. HATE those familiar heart-wrenching memories. Life is never the same anymore, again.

"Are we afraid to love because of the fear of losing those love?"
"The more we try to forget, the more impossible it becomes"

Behind Time

Very scared not enuff time to fin all things Marpig 12 do. Matlab, Fortran, PM, Numerical Methods, Laplace, Dynamic Systems & Simulation...so many notes need to make & revise, so many things to recall & learn from scratch. Pressure.

MUST really buck up & have some routine fixed up.

Sleep at 2am wake up at 8am.

:(

Wat a dae.

1) Lab todae but silly Marpig didnt bring password to log into system in lab. Luckily another fren allow Marpig to use his username & password cos hez not there todae.

2) Lab is about Matlab. Kao. Marpig didnt touch it at all, don noe a shit bout it. Syntax totally diff from C & Fortran. Got to borrow Matlab bk & learn from scratch...on top of tt, need to fin up Fortran bk.

3) After lab, saw an old man (think a lecturer) hugging a 3-weekz old black cocker spaniel! Itz a dear! Watery beady eyes, cute face ARGH! soooo cute & lovable! *squeeze squeeze* Marpig felt itz paws & put snout to doggiez nosie :D According to tt man, itz official name (or smth like tt) is "Spirit of Greece"

4) Baby-sit nephew & watched Popeye & Bambi (Classical version from Technicolour)! Reminds Marpig of Popeye Chicken & Biscuits & those times spent in the airport just to catch planes flying off, pilots coming out :p

5) Nephew poo pooed. He doesnt want to wipe his arse cos scared of dirtying his hands, Marpig wiped his arse. W.O.W

"Writers are often the most happiest & saddest person in the world, at the same time"

Remembering...

Marpig was doing notes on Project & Product Management (abbre. PM thereafter) & occasionally, will put down Marpigz ex-bossz name after a point in order to better memorise tt point. Hahaha, bcos sometimes certain egs in PM does reminds Marpig of the time when Marpig is working. 1 gd eg is the attitudes of the leader.

a) A leader can view a subordinate with different views as a prob employee OR
b) A leader can view a subordinate with different views as an innovator

Marpigz ex-boss keeps asking pple to challenge him & to give him ideas, etc. Had a pretty high opinion of Marpig...if Marpig gets a salary rise as well as gets promoted, maybe Marpig would have just stayed in Singapore! hahahahaha

But Marpig must say tt ex-boss really taught Marpig alot, gave Marpig all the freedom & opportunities to learn...was really grateful to him

Sometimes, we do not say, but we do remember those who helped us in one way or another; classmates, teammates, colleagues, bosses, teachers, parents, siblings, strangers, even enemies...

Half a Century

Congratulations to The Unique Marpig for having the 50th entry in the blog!!

Itz been a month since Marpig started this blog (how time flies!). It enjoyed many support from Marpigz frens so BIG thank to all for reading!! Will try to add more interesting entries on & off!!
