WAH BIANG! Writing FORTRAN code for solving a system of ODEs... trying to solve Blasius Equation... using Runge Kutta 4! 人就是贱, got easy methods like Euler but Marpig don 12 use, purposely want to attempt RK4 cos itz supposedly to be the most widely use method... coursework due on 9th Dec... itz already 1st Dec... sure died... think will die... maybe 1/2 dead by then... got... *counting fingers* 5 coursework in total!!!! Really tou tia now... shoulder sng, neck an, migrane somemore, not to say itz cold as well!

Headache ah!!! How to do!!! okokok WOLSLY...

JM ah, i tried to do the problem u ask me to do bout the gals & boys, cannot do leh. 1st step already cannot be liao. 51% of 340 = 173.4 which is not possible cos cannot have 0.4 of a boy. (Unless we chop them up pcs by pcs and put them into classes). Anyway, how u manage to solve in the 1st place? Too many unknown & not enuff info leh! How u noe how many gals left? hmmm....

Do too many questions, discover don noe alot. Do too many chim questions, easy ones 4got how to do. ARGH!

Ok, Marpig go back to pounder over the programming... #>_<~

Smth BETTER THAN Oreo

Marpig don really like Oreo... frankily, smtimes Marpig don like wat most pple like... Unique mah... ttz y :p)

Therez smth nicer than Oreo... It McVities Chocolate Coated Digestive Biscuits! OOOOO! Full of chocolatey chocolate with already-nice digestive biscuits! Each bite is like eating tarts! When taken with milk WAH! Shiok ah! hahahahahahahaha *echos*
Biscuits in sqeaky cute voice: "别小看我们哦~"

:D))

VERY VERY VERY HARPY!

2 yrs or maybe 2.5 yrs ago, went HK with PS, last dae at airport going home, wanted soooooo much to buy a Popeye soft toy tt comes with a Popeye Chicken & Biscuits Meal! Soft toy cost HKD65 on top of the meal. Alas! Marpig & PS not enuff money cos need to buy nice nice love letters and lao puo bing for frens! So in the end, very very sad, bought only the meal & no Popeye soft toy... *sad & pathetic face*

Been thinking bout it for many yrs... kept telling Marpig tt Marpig should one dae go HK again to buy it... not crazy, cos Singapore don have...

Haven got the chance to go HK since then... but still thinking of the soft toy...

Told sis bout it b4 on the way to church on a particular dae cos sis asked Marpig where in HK are nice, etc...

Then just yesdae when bro in law came back 1st, Marpig got this!






















*Cant stop beaming!!!*














Though it might not look like it... *Popeye chasing all piggies!* :D))

Farny Lecturer!

Distraction b4 farny biz:

Weather in London: Damn Cold. Occasionally wet w/o warning. Strong wind. Alot orf dust. No snow. (Thank Goodness! & dont u guys go praying for snow hor! Dont think Marpig don noe wat all of u thinking! Hmpf!)

End of Distraction.

In lecture theatre, tall ceiling, so to fully utilise the space, chalk board is divided into 2 such tt when finished writting on one, push it up and use the other one for continual writting. Todae CAM tutorial... lecturer was rubbing away on the chalk board when it started to shift upwards. Then lecturer turned around and said "I tot the earth is moving"

Muahahahahaha! Damn farny!....... Not farny?! Well, the chalk board is green in colour...

Aiya... must be there to understand the farniness!

Gluttony Mar~*burp*pig :P)

Been crazy, eating tons of food...cos simply too cold!!! OMG! Cold till the bones! Face kana cold wind blow (majiam like the game 大风吹!) Ears cold until they are screaming at Marpig (itz scary to have own ears screaming at u ok!) Toes and fingers are hibernating w/o own knowledge (smth like comp shut down w/o warning) BERRRRRRY COLD! Freezing!

Been out dinner with sec sch fren, both bought 2 beenies(?) beanies(?), same colour smore! Approx. 9 quid. Still o right, at least ears are now cosy and making themselves nice n smug under the "heath"

Kinda sad (again!) tt no one send Marpig anything... not even postcards or letters! So expensive meh?... SIGH... sec sch fren got frens sending things from Singapore and as far as from Amsterdam and Aussie! How sweet! Actually Marpig got lotsa letters to send to frens but all of them are affixed with Singapore stamps cos Marpig want to fin using them so now waiting for PS to come and send it for Marpig...

Yar, Marpig don practice Xmas gift giving... well.... used to... in pri and sec sch... pri sch just made 3 gifts for 3 gd frens and we exchange... then sec sch was just a bag with sweets and choc and everyone take a scoop. TTz all... hmmm... when working, used to buy things to share with colleagues... sort of like "gifts"? hahahaha just food (wat else!) Uni... cant rem give presents to anyone... just rem keep buying lotsa food to sch for frens cos all of us studying mah... so MUST EAT! :P)

"Engrave on the rock wat others have given u, write on the sand wat u give"

SIGH... anyway, Marpig don really like 节日... cos already no meaning to Marpig... maybe sm of u can guess... well... think food is just the only reason...

Aching Heart

Was once again distracted from study...

Went Wikipedia read articles and strayed to Singapore... hahaha it started with reading bout LKY, then so many others like Goh Keng Swee, Hon Sui Sen etc etc... was very nice felt a sense of pride while reading how Singapore achieved her status now. However, chance upon an article bout "Singapore's Blood Money" where it tok bout Singapore investing in Burma and tt although Singapore has tough laws in drug trafficking, itz accused of investing with the SSliers of drugs...hmmm.... was totally down by reading tt... had basis somemore... sincerely hope it is not true (think it is) but if it is true... hope the gahmen will stop doing such behind the scene things... itz will be very very hypocritical... it will be a big blow to all Singaporeans who pride ourselves for being "clean".

Politics can be so dirty... itz like underground traids in the open... oh well...

Been reading bout Singapore cruisines as well... really miss all the food... tongue can almost taste the food... SIGH...

Sunset and Dinner

Marpig sort of already set mind to be single...been "practising" living a single life... not very gd... well, itz like gd cos all of us need time to be in solitude (:p) and when one is alone therez so much to be done... laundry, cooking, etc... but... it kinda get lonesome cos no one to tok to, no one to argue with no one to share anything with... oh well... JM said Marpig shouldnt keep thinking bout it but cant help it mah... it just sets in... reflection of d dae mah... anyway... :))

Went Tesco todae... weather already very cold... sometimes freezing... sunny dae, but Marpig still "smokes" once outside... so can imagine how cold it is... *whispers* Marpig went out w/o wearing any bra! ahahhaha cos wearing coat mah wrap until like bah zhang so nvm... anyway, itz really nice to go ard w/o it cos tends to walk with a bounce hahhahahaha

Lonely grocery shopping once again... simply don noe wat to get... but got some ingredients for steamboat... well not really steamboat cos don have the steamboat thingy and no one to eat with Marpig (see, ttz y being single is not easy!) Yeah and noe wat? JM got to tell Marpig at the wrong time, wrong day tt she had had steamboat yesdae... TSK. Was contemplating using the rice cooker to cook everything but in the end didnt cos ttz very unpro cooking (Marpig is a pro chef!) so cooked everything nicely!

Had a chat with a guy fren on msn just now too... suddenly asked Marpig whether Marpig mind bf who visits/visiting pros for "variety"... hmmm... then Marpig was sharing views as usual... don wish to go on bout it otherwise PS will say Marpig is like a columnist again! hahahaha but main thing is Marpig told him no gal will want tt etc etc etc then bout feelings and emotions... then bout different "holes" and "sausages"... then bout separating emotions and phyical thing when having sex etc... funny right... to speak of these openly under the sun with a guy hahahahaha anyway, few things Marpig noe from him is:

1) Men can have sex w/o emotions but the pure pleasure of it
2) Men can have sex with pros, pay up, leave and don care bout other things(this promotes pros trade cos DD = SS! Marpig told him tt!)
3) Men can love his gf or wife but still go out have fun (!)
4) Men, just like women, cannot really tolerate the other party making out with someone else... basically, no betrayal.

Marpig told him a few things too:

1) Women can have desires and MAY also find gigolos
2) Women finding gigolos and making out is seldom if not rare lah...
3) Women cannot separate emotions when having sex
4) Women expect hubbies to be faithful and love them ONLY after marriage.

Men fall in love with their eyes, women fall in love with their heart
Men have emotions too, but not as intense as women... a gd and bad thing
As wat Marpig always say, don't do unto others wat u don't want others to do unto u.

Pictures of food and sunset (on JM's request!) :))
When Marpig was here in Sept, the tree outside Marpigz window was wearing itz leaves, now, those leaves are in the washing machine and the tree is naked!
























Wat can Marpig say? Marpig IS a gd cook! Muahahhahaha SCRUMTIOUS!

...

Headache, no mood to study, no appetite (!)... lack of social interaction? Lack or fun? Wat is lacking? Wanted to go out walk ard but simply to cold and nightfalls so early! Everydae itz like, wah, morning... have bf, nua abit, do abit of work...time for lunch... eh, sun setting! Then, after a while, sun set. kao.
慢慢长夜
长夜慢慢

Really no mood to study...naughty Marpig re-surfaced...bad thing... feeling sleepy also... hmmm...

Finished watching 金枝玉孽...nice show...last episode Marpig was crying like crazy... OMG. Very touching... and the xu shi man is very pretty! Erm... the other is who... tt Zhang Ke Ying (Maggie Cheung) pretty too!!! Marpigz idols!

Frens of Marpig: "Arent u abit too old to have idols?!"

Cannot meh, Marpig like! HMP!

Knew from JM's blog tt she learnt some technical stuff on computer! :D) So clever! *pat on head* Marpig left a msg leh! Remember to listen to Magic 105.4FM on the internet for UK radio channel! Not bad though songs are from 80s and 90s... (or even in Bee Gees era) but Marpig like mah...

回忆的心痛。。。

Woke up with sadness in heart... had a vivid dream... at 1st happy, but later became a sad one... still remembers it... how pathetic... in reality, we cant change things or events... even in dreams, we have no control to change it...

Tot Marpig have 4gotten bout it all... put everything behind... but a simple dream... can have such an effect on Marpig...

越是想遗忘,越是忘不了
越是想不心痛却痛得更深
还以为一切以成往事
没想到只是把回忆和伤心摆在离心和脑海不远的地方
但也是最深的地方
一个梦就把那回忆，心痛和伤心给勾起
嗨~
。。。
。。。
。。。
还是开心的拉抛屎
尽量的再把那回忆和伤心给封闭起来吧!

Dinner for the Past 2 Daes

Have been behaving and feeling weird... maybe itz the weather, maybe itz bcos the sun set at 4pm, complete darkness at 530pm.

Sterotyping, Branding, Social Stigma

We all are constantly bathed in sterotyping, branding and social stigma. Don noe since when, maybe since the beginning of Man. When he can see, can think, can SEPARATE things tt are different. Hmm... cavemen... Marpig bet they knew female from male (from the boobs and balls...hahahaha). Then, they will start to realise, pple with boobs are weaker physically and pple with balls are bulls... hmm think it started all these men and women can never be equal kinda things.. since TT long ago...

Y do we need to separate and group similar things and unsimliar ones? Y do we need to have categories? Generally, according to all sort of theories on organisation (biz, management, finance, accounting, engineering, etc) grouping things together makes things easy to find, to work with, blah blah blah. Eg. In NTUC, u don want to find eggs with washing powder or rice with animal food. In accounting, u don want to do auditing with credits and debits flying all over the balance sheet. TTz the advantage.

Zooming into sterotyping, branding and social stigma. Good AND Bad.

Tok about branding. Rampant in Singapore. Pple often buy branded goods. No brand, aw biao so no gd. Cheap they say... Pple often look up at scholors as if they are some sort of brands. We all are branded. Just tt who is "cheaper". Oh, you went Imperial! Oh, she went LSE! Wah, you go RJC! So? The only definite/absolute/true infomation bout these pple is, they can ace their exams. END. You still need to know the person b4 knowing wat kinda pple they truly are. Pri sch ranking, sec sch ranking, jc ranking, etc. In the near future, even nursery ranking coming up Marpig believes. Good, as we noe where to put children into an environment conducive for knowledge and personal development. Bad, well, we know it all. So, certain level of branding, is good and may be inevitable. don let it overwhelmes u.

Social stigma, totally bad. Look at the segregation of the blacks and whites. Classic eg. Look at debates btw females and males. Another classic eg. Been a long long time. Though everything seems to be hush hush cos human rights etc, no one dares to openly u noe wat. But u cant eradicate pple's feelings. So wat if i am white, u r black? So wat if she is yellow and I am brown? So wat if u wear bikini and I wear tudangs? Wat diff does it make since we are all homo sapiens? All are flesh and blood, born of mothers. We share the entire Earth. Who says females don make gd engineers? As time have proven, females and males are both intelligent. The only true thing is females are indeed weaker than males in physical sense. However, y are we only seeing males dominating politics, dominting board of directors of so many companies? No newspapers or etc, has ever given an answer. Discuss bout it, yes. But never present us with any answers. Too ugly and unfair to be splashed on the papers? Maybe.

Sterotyping. TT is a very sensitive word. Very. We all fall victim to it. We all push someone to it. We do it everytime. Conscious/unconscious. Yes, we shouldnt sterotype blah blah blah cos itz bad. No no! We mustnt do it! Marpig agrees! However, Marpig is a victim to it, so are all Singaporeans. Singaporeans are kiasu, they are ungracious. Oh well, some of us are not. But itz a generalisation and we know generalisation is not always true. Hahaha, well, at least it gives us an identity! Though not pleasant at tt!

Singaporeans are efficient, they have minimal corruption, they are so tolerant to other religions and races. Itz another generalisation. Not entirely true either. Some pple still dislike certain races, still condemns other religions. But, itz another identity again! And this time, it is good!

So, does sterotyping means it is totally bad? Also, y do we start sterotyping? Cause and effect analysis: If a country, or groups of pple do not demonstrate widespread behaviours etc, there wont be any chance for them to be sterotyped by others. If a bully doenst bullies, no one can say tt he/she is. No one can sterotype tt all bullies are coward etc. 若要人不知,除非己没为. Going back to Marpigz previous sterotyping of most CP, yes, Marpig may be over-emotional. But, it is true tt they ARE like tt. Alot of pple knows watz going on. Yes, there are really gd CP, but Marpig haven come across yet. Not in any 4 yrs in NUS, not even in a totally different environment, London. Same traits tt fits inside the sterotyping bill. Of cos, Marpig is also being sterotyped. Singaporeans are kiasu (but they tell u tt u r hardworking cos sounds nicer mah!), speaks singlish and wat have u hahahaha (but Marpig don speak singlish in London!).

Sterotype. It is a generalised identity tt one is being identified with. A "standard" of traits tt a particular country or group of pple are known for. We see, we saw, we know, we put these country/pple into tt group becos we already verified tt those countries/pple we come across fit the bill.

Marpig sterotypes. Yes, Marpig admits. All of us do. But Marpig do not sterotype at the 1st instant. Marpig remains neutral and sit on the fence in the beginning. Marpig is friendly and helpful to anyone. But time will tell when those pple let their hair down and show their true colours. TTz when Marpig verified tt those sterotyping things bout tt country/persons are true. And ttz when Marpig will sterotype them. Once again, if u r not like this, no one will say tt of u. If u are gd in nature, u will not do silly things. Marpig will never 4get tt the China gal copies, ask silly questions, ask someone else to write programs for her assignment. Not her work at all, take everything for granted. Marpig used to be frenly with her and even teach her things and even check her workings and tell her she is careless. But, after Marpig noes wat kind of person she is. ttz it. Other CP in the class as well. Look for u only when they need u. Other times, byebye. Ask them questions, all don noe. Skip lectures, don do work. Marpig don like such pple. I bet alot of pple don either.

Marpig are always naggy towards frens. XT noes it right! Yar, Marpig can be harsh sometimes but ttz cos Marpig cares, otherwise, y will Marpig waste her breath! Once someone gets into the bad books of Marpig (rarely), don bother to get out of it. It will be VERY, VERY DIFFICULT.

Follow-up on Comprain

Yeah yeah, Marpig came across this article

(http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific
/view/178101/1/.html)

tt toks bout a surge in Chinese spying on British business. Herez some excerpts:

1) "The Chinese are desperate to find out everything about how western companies operate and how they are structured," The Guardian quoted him as saying.

2) "The Chinese economy is booming but what they are short of is information technology and modern processing, manufacturing and design skills," he said.

3) Security sources told The Guardian that the Chinese were garnering the tiniest morsels of information in the fields of business, security and industry and sending them back to China.

4) "It is old-fashioned human intelligence gathering - it's thousands of years old and it works. Employers should plan for the fact that there is a strong likelihood information, even if it is low-level stuff, will be fed back to China."

ARGH...itz not entirely wrong tt CP wants to gather info... but the method is wrong. Y do they always copy? Instead of gathering info in such a secretive manner (to do it in the dark means they noe itz wrong) y not have sharing of info via conference and universities with other countries? Win-win situation and you don let others brand you with ugly names like copycats, shrew, etc...

SIGH...

Interesting Tot

Marpigz apologies for the previous blog tt is so lengthy and may be subjective to some pple... but Marpigz stand is firm.

Was reading a news on a guy in Singapore who doesnt need to be on lifetime medication after bone and kiney transplant. He had the bone marrow transplant then the kiney transplant.

Marpig am sure tt researchers can and should look into a new way of relieving transplant patients the lifelong medication they must take to prevent organs rejection.

As some of u who may have guessed, researchers can explore, based on this unique case, having the donor's bone marrow (matching as close as possible or to a certain critical value) to be transplanted into the recipient's body b4 the recipient receives any organs the donor's is going to donate. This MAY be a way of reducing the rejection level of the transplanted organ because the immune system of the recipient has been replaced by the donor's via the his/her bone marrow, thus, reducing rejection to the donor's donated organ.

Could this be a way? Too bad Marpig is an engineer...if only Marpig has the capacity (equipments, etc) and opportunity to be a researcher or something, Marpig will sure propose to look into this matter... oh well... therez really so much Marpig can do...

Comprain

Was thinking how is Marpig gonna blog this issue in a tactful and mild-flavoured manner... well... cant think of better ways but will just be truthful then. Think Marpigz emotion will still get the better of Marpig...

Marpig didnt have gd impression of CP (not a person but a specific group of pple... enquire personally if u cant grasp wat the abbre. means) at all since NUS. In NUS, Marpig saw them

1) Keeping to themselves
2) Selfish
3) Rude and dirty (hair oily with white thing... scalp i think) and stinky clothes
4) Shallow
5) Think highly of themselves
6) Spat!

Over in London, see a flock of them in class... only 1 or 2 are good, the rest, sad to say, doesnt impress Marpig at all. In fact, Marpig despises them. Sounds bad, but hear this:

They are lazy, they don put in effort, they don speak english, they cant really read and understand simple english, they keep to themselves, they are selfish. Marpig don understand y they choose to come England to study when their level of english command sux big time, they don put in effort to study at all, they are taking masters but do not have the masters level calibre/attitude (ie, they don read on their own and find answers to wat they do not know). Instead, they seek easy way out, keep asking trivial questions, which they should know or find out on their own. Worse, when Marpig tries to explain things to them, they don understand english! Marpig been using english as a medium for studies! If they want to study in England, then make sure you use english and not chinese!

Even worse, therez this CG who does last min work (don noe wat she has been doing at home!), then asked someone else to simply help her to write program codes for her assignment. Wah, must complain down to the nitty gritty details.

1st, she doesnt do her assignment until Marpig wants to discuss with her, thinking she had at least read the question. Then, she goes home, read and do the question on pieces of paper with loads of equations and numbers all over the place with cancellations here and there, bascially, itz a rough piece of work. Next dae, push all the f**king pieces of papers with scribbles of number and equations to Marpig and ask Marpig to check! f**k! Wat does she takes Marpig for?! Her rubbish collector? Marpig is damn f**king pissed, push back her stack of rubbish and told her Marpig is not going to check cos itz a mess. Then, she complains she doesnt noe how to do programming cos she 4gotten how to do them and looking at Marpig with blank eyes tt hints "Can you help me write" kinda bloody face. Marpig said don noe MATLAB, only noe FORTRAN. She boh bian, ask someone else who noes MATLAB to write the entire assignmentz program codes for her.

Becos itz not her work and becos itz a prog language she doesnt noe, she don understand wat the f**k those codes are. Guess wat, she asked Marpig to debug for her! Marpig was really by tt time, dislike her like crazy... totally disgusted. Told her Marpig don noe, sort of tell her off tt the code is not written by Marpig, and Marpig don noe MATLAB (actually noe abit but not as comfortable as FORTRAN) and she should ask the person who wrote for her to explain it to her. Also told her she should write the code herself in C++ cos ttz wat she learnt. Basically, shez pure lazy.

Worse, so many mistakes, certain simple theory she don even noe! Don bother to seek help from lecturer, don read up on her own. Wat is she doing in masters?! Wat is she doing in London?!

NVM, then called Marpig the night b4 the assignment is due, kao. IF Marpig was more terrible, Marpig would have ignored her! Marpig took pity in her and just explain the theory behind how to tackle the problem in the end, didnt tell her answer str, which she hopes Marpig will!

Since then, Marpig totally dislikes, despises her to the core. Itz like seeing her Marpig will go all querky and tot to moiself "EEEK!" as if shez some kind of disgusting boogie or s**t.

Other occasions tt she gets on Marpigz nerves and irritates Marpig:

1) After eating her pasty, she shoved her rubbish into Marpigz plastic bag where Marpigz food and diet coke is still inside without asking! f**k man! You jolly well throw away/keep your own rubbish! OR you f**king ask someone to help u throw! Not doing wat u like! No one is your servant!
2) Shoved Marpig her bloody bag outside the lecture theatre to put it on a seat while she finishes her bf! Didnt even ask properly with her mouth full of food and didnt even give Marpig a chance of saying no! pui!
3) Keeps asking Marpig trivial and silly questions like wat does "derivatives" and "significant" means! Hello! You have an electronic translation device! Dictionary too! Use them lor!
4) Keep touching Marpig when Marpig is concentrating during lectures to ask these trivial questions! Hello! Marpig got a name, PLEASE f**king be polite and call Marpigz name! Itz worse than any singaporeans who uses "A!" to call some1! Marpig basically didnt sit beside her in the future and didnt 12 tok to her!
5) *Last straw tt Marpig can take* Put both her hands on Marpigz shoulders and ask Marpig so close to Marpigz left ear bout when Marpigz sis & bro in law going away! This is the BEST part: Marpig buay tahan, turned around and staring at her with Marpigz 绝世猪密集第一式---美人怒眼神 and told her "你可以不要这样碰我吗?! 我不是跟你很熟!" Of cos, she took back her hands immediately and was shocked. She downright kana from Marpig. Anyone who saw (rare) or have experience (too bad for u, but very rare as well) THE angry Marpig, will noe how scary Marpig can look!

Really, Marpig must clarify: Marpig noes not all but MOST CP are tt disgusting. Basically, alot of pple also think likewise bout CP, not only Marpig.

Also, Marpig suggests that all CP should stop thinking so highly of themselves or their country and be humble. Eg, their politicians should admit and be transparent in the issue of bird flu instead of covering everything up, stop threatening other countries with military powers etc.

Students should have the right attitudes to learn while they are studying. Not study for the sake of studying or getting tt paper certificate! Polish and brush up the english language b4 studying! So wat if you have the money?!

Everyone noes corruption is rampant in tt country. Everyone noes tt most CP are corrupted. Alot of pple noe why so many CP can afford to go overseas to study, etc. U see so many in US, UK, etc. Why? Becos if the money is ill-gotton, you have to spend them, u cant keep them. Thus, they spend the money! Send their children to expensive countries to study! Y now? Y not in the past? Becos now tt country to trying to set up laws and to tackle corruption so tt it can join WTO, etc. Thus, b4 they are caught or wat, spent those corrupted money!

Marpig cant stand pple who copies, take others for granted, making use of others, selfish, no realistic goals and unrefined.

*Deep breath* Marpig finished compraining.

:))

Was out with sec sch frens for dinner & chit chat! Was soooo harpy! Therez simply so much to catch up! A fren was working and taking her chartered paper, another was doing archi. :)) Wat a small world!

Was thinking bout Little Britain... (go search the internet!) Fat Fighters...eat dust cos dust has the lowest calories! hahahaha

Happy Centennial!

GEORGE~!

Marpig fell in lurve with the name "GEORGE"! Used to think tt Marpig lurves the name "Edward" from the motion picture Pretty Woman but now, Marpig finally noe tt she lurves "Geroge"!

A lecturer tt Marpig likes is called George, then Marpig likes George Michael's songs, Marpig likes George Clooney... OH MY! Pple with the name George are all soooooo handsome, delicious, cool and sweet!! Oooooooo~~~!

If Marpig ever has a son (don think will) will definitely call him George then his nick will be Georgie! ARGH!!! *BIG SMILE*

PS, if u have a son, call him George!!! Then he will be my godson Georgie! ahhahahahahhahahah *ecstatic echo*

George Clooney UP FRONT & CLOSE!!!

All of you wont believe it! Marpig was out at Leicester Sq for dinner and saw GEORGE CLOONEY!!! Dont noe y hez there but think it was some kind of premiere or film festival & OMG! Isnt he GORGEOUS & DELICIOUS!!! OMG OMG OMG! HEZ CUTE!!! *uncontrollable screaming*

Marpig quickly took out mobile and managed to snap a picture of him!!! *drooling* OMG!!! GEORGE CLOONEY!! Marpig saw him in London!!! ARGH! OH MAN! should have touched him! fondle him!! kiss him!! ARGH~~~~~!

Holidays and Holidays

Realise another yr is going to come to an end...so fast! Aug Marpig left for London, now is already Nov! WOW! In no time, Marpig will be 30 yrs old! *shudders*

Knew 1st Nov and 3rd Nov are holidays back in Singapore...Over here...no holidays...Marpig hasnt come across any public holidays yet...hmm..

10th Nov got another test coming up...gonna really stop nuaing! Been eating lunch then kun. Kao. Perfect pig.

Todae on way home on the Tube, heard an announcement: "There will be no Central Line and Mile End station will be closed. This is because there is a man under a train" Mile End station is just the 3rd station away from Cosy Barn...passed by the station but train didnt stop just wolsd down...saw police, "civil defence" personels...hmm

Itz 610pm in London, but it looks like itz already 10pm... :(( Marpig is sunshine pig...feeling all quirky & sad to see sun go to bed so early... :(( Worse, didnt see the moon...think both the sun & the moon must have gone rendevous with each other... hmp!

It Really Takes a Genius to Create an Impact on Earth

Was reading articles from BBC...then strayed to Greenpeace website then strayed to Kyoto Protocol website...

Realise Singapore was never on the list of developed countries participating in any of these Greenies...

Lip service again...Sometimes Marpig wonders...wat are Singaporeans doing...working working working. Putting on mask after mask after mask. Merry making and merry making n more merry making. Worrying bout bird flu, worrying bout not having enuff money, worrying bout not having straight As on the Certificates, worrying bout not having a car, worrying bout so many things...

Itz fascinating tt although we are all very different individuals but most of us worry bout the same things...things tt has an element of "I" as the mainframe...

Everything Marpig mentioned above bout money, grades, etc...all stem from "I". Pple don get enuff. Pple always want more. More this, more tt. Has so much, yet we see so many unhappy pple...uncontended...always lamenting bout not having enuff of things...

Sometimes, Marpig thinks tt marjority of Singaporeans has no souls left...Some still do...but most have lost their souls...pursuing grades, pursuing money, indulged in pleasure, fighting, office politics...why? WHY? Does more of those make you happy or make you look gd in front of others?

No one dares to speak up. No one dares to challenge the govt. Itz been widely known tt Singapore is not really a democractic country...even foreigners noe... Casino issue is a very gd example. No point asking the public for opinions when it hs been decided tt itz going to open anyway. Singaporeans are not stupid. We know why there is this open discussion. On the surface itz freedom of speech...but itz just for show. This is not democratic. We cant even protest. Speakers' Corner? My foot. Itz a joke! Speakers corner with no speakers. Ha.

Pple who voice out their opinions are shut. Dr Amy Koh is one. Shez not an opposition.

SIGH...only geniuses make an impact...Einstein, Newton, Watt and all those pple whom we must thank for giving us so many formulas and theorems to study...

Frankily, being a human is pathetic. You cant change/make an impact at all. You live knowing you will die in the end. Yet, you seek happiness in terms of material gains.

Marpig goes back study...wat a way to lament...

Pigz Livers!!!!!!!!!

If there's one food in the world tt Marpig dislikes, itz pigz livers!

Just had dinner...worst dinner ever since Marpig is in London! Noodles soup with pigz livers! Nothing else. Noodles + vege + pigz livers!

*Puking and pathetic face* EVERY single bite off the liver, is like chewing Marpigz own tongue...EVERY chew of the liver and tt overwhelming bloodsmell makes Marpig think tt Marpigz is a vampire...*sob sob* 好可怕! *cries* *body all nua liao*

Marpig don mind eating max 2 thin slices of pigz liver in some nice sauce...but not big CHUNKS of pigz liver in light soup... *cries* *nua Marpig on the floor*

To think tt Marpig can finish dinner without puking and with such calm facial expression... pure SNAP... sensitive new age pig indeed...

*faints*

Just like the title...BLANK.

Just woke up from nap...feeling puzzled...erm...a kinda lost, don noe wat and why Marpig is existing feeling...cant lay a finger on it... don noe whether all of u understands tt kinda feeling...

Why are we alive? Purpose? What are we doing? *Vexed*

Itz 530pm but lookz like itz 9pm...sun really went sleeping faster than anyone else...

Guess itz one of those kind of phenomenal feelings one gets whenever there is a full moon... aka full moondy (not full monty)

Been thinking labbish, toking labbish...think Marpigz going insane soon

Unique Marpig, Unique Handwriting

Therez so much to just being Marpig...Unique personalities (yeah, got more than one, split personalities mah), unique moods (fluctuates constantly), unique thinking, unique principles, unique handwriting, etc...

Was writing out tutorial answers todae on the chalkboard...needless to say, it was art on chalkboard...hahahaha been infamous for 'artistic' handwriting ever since Marpig noes how to write...teachers never fail to make comments on tt...

Pri Sch: Was punished to write the word 'the' cos too cursive until the letter 't' is missing and was given the honarary title, 'Dr. Quack'

Sec Sch: One chinese teacher said Marpigz handwriting is like yan luo wangz, Another lagi best. Said Marpigz fingers very nice & pretty but handwriting needs improvements hahahahaha

JC & Uni: Teachers and lecturers must be thinking "If until now the personz handwriting is still like this, gonecase. Cant be changed"

Actually, Marpigz handwriting has slight improvements but think somehow, the letters themselves are enchanted with the ability to dance in front of others... :P
