From studies to food~

Ever had that moment where its time to freak out and you are busy crossing every single thing crossable in your body?

Today was that day.

First semester results are coming out somewhere at the end of this week or early next week and its terrifying. Mean score of 42 and the range was 4-78? Very very scary. Median was 42.5 ish so I guess quite a lot of people pass? No idea


Anyway as it gets closer, I recall some memories. Doesn't affect me that much any more since its been 8 months (Weee, out of my mourning period!) but ever since PMR, I always had someone special (apart from my parents) to tell my results to. PMR, SPM, A levels and first year at uni. 'She's' always there somehow. The 'she' of course right now is null but after thinking of it a while, is it really that important?

Someone to pour your soul into, to listen to your grumbles and ranting (vice versa), know that you can count on them no matter what... what is this dependent feeling that I am feeling?

Anyway, this picture was taken back in summer 2009. Guess where it was?

No it wasn't Penang, but it was Malacca. It was some hotel we rented (I think it was Equatorial Hotel). I remember having my first Jonker Walk visit there that night. (Shame isn't it that I was studying in Malacca for 5 years but never went there until I graduated from college.)

Which reminds me, some people still 'owes' me a treat to Malacca Rojak and Cendol. (Not a fan of Cendol but I'm cool with the Rojak :p)

Fion uploaded a picture of Muar Chee so I requested for the recipe. Gonna try make them tonight so lets see how they go :)

Signing off now.

Yours truly,

Silent Doubt

Sit there silently,
Dare not speak,
Dare not move,
Observing carelessly.

Lying there gently,
Beneath the old oak tree,
Caressing wind,gentle rays,
Silently he fell asleep,

Eyes twitched, glimmer slightly,
Poked by bristle-tipped leaves,
Awaken by the sudden zephyr,
He shed tears, unwillingly.

Fallout

Went 1-3 and 2-2 the last FNM. Ratings dropping. My merfolk deck still lacks 20 cards to be completed, and thats £250 worth of cards. =(

Current DCI Ratings

Was planning to get my ratings to 1700+ this year. Seems like its closer than I imagine (Total of course!) I wish I can have my constructed rating to be 1700... that seems far away but its can be in reach!

February post so far...

Okay, lets start of with Magic.

Pre-release day I - 23rd out of 113
Pre-release day II - 4th out of 48
Booster draft (Release Date) - 2nd of out 8
2 Headed Giant Release Event- 5th out of 9 Teams

No FNMs so far as it was draft FNM as it cost £12.50 T_T

First two weeks of February is really tiring. With back-to-back Magic Tournament from Friday to Sunday, I really feel that my brain needs some rest. The good part is, with all those thinking involve (strategy, probabilities, analysing and so on). I'm grasping my lecture a little more quicker than I used to.

Got some parts for my Legacy deck now. =) 1/3 through! Now comes the expensive bits of the deck T_T.

Celebrate CNY at Cheng's house with steamboat as the main event. The girls did the shopping while the guys were just 'trolleys' carrying the goods that they bought. can't complain much about carrying food, can I?

Aaron has gotten into an accident and he's still in the Hospital. Bone fracture but now after the operation he has metals to connect his bones. Some pus appearing stopped him from going back earlier so he's still in the hospital now, maybe for another week or two. It happen last month during my exam period so my mum didn't really tell me till it was over. Get well soon bro!

I finally manage to reset my sleeping patterns. I now sleep from 10ish to 1am and wake up around 7-8am. Can't sleep more even if I want to. But I guess its going to be a healthy start now.
