Effects of drinking too much...Hangover
Have you ever been hammered and spun around in the head before?..That's what I am feeling now..argggghhhhh!!!..
Those punks really did me in..they drowned me in beer, followed by God knows how many rounds of drinks. I think the killer was the beer..after downing that mother, the feeling of throwing up started to hit me.The subsequent shots of hard liquor, yes, hard liquor, which is a big no-no to mix with beer, really killed me big time.
I lost count how many times I threw up but I sure made an impression by soiling part of my shirt,jeans and shoes..damn..what a image-spoiler. When I left the place, people were looking at me and ck have the cheek to film everything down..idiot..Richard and stone have to bring me back and they basically lifted me to my house..where I got a big scolding from father..haiz
I managed to stay alert enough to take a shower before puking further and sleep. This morning wasn't any better. I was still puking and the head is still spinning and thumping symphony notes..my appetite sucks and I can't even do my FYP..
I think I am getting too old for these type of shit..that is hard-drinking. Perhaps it is because I have cut down my amount of drinking over the years and that's why the threshold is lowering. Oh well, it is something good..considering that it is bad for health.Meanwhile, the head is still in pain...arghhhhh...

Another year older and with it, the journey to middle-aged seems to be aging nearer. Looking back at the past one year, so many things have happened. My sweetheart from secondary school days got separated, I got kicked around like a ball by someone with whom I thought I could be with and my chum of 10 years broke my trust.
Other than all of those above, the later half of the year was ..in a sense better..studies to worry about and Gramp's death. Sometimes I wonder, I really do wonder, why am I subjected to all these things? Did I bring them upon myself? Or perhaps, it is part of a plan to let me look at life differently?
Perhaps the latter is true..as I embarked on this long journey, it's Gods' message to me that life is never a walk in the park, things will happen and it is through all these that you learn to be a better and stronger person...that you should cherish all those around you. On a serious note, Gramp's death hit me pretty hard, because she cared alot about me..sometimes I do miss her too...
As for my secondary school sweet heart, I do miss her once a while. Wonder how she is at her job, whether she is leading a better life now. We do keep in touch once a while..but because she is in the midst of separation I try not to disturb her. Thinking of which, I do feel for her, 'coz she sure make a good wife..which I can say, not many gals can compare to her. She is a capable gal, just that she got unlucky somewhere down the road..she sure deserves someone better....haiz
Enough of all these serious stuff...this week is going to be party-weekend..all my uni-mates have finished their papers and we are going to meet up and party..oh well..they are going to drown me in alcohol..to celebrate my birthday..those ungrateful punks...hahaha..
Today is going to be a quiet day where I spent time with mom..sort of make up to her for the late nights I spent in school to do project, assignments and studies..until she is thinking whether I am her son...haha..
My wish for this year? Just to pass all my papers and graduate from that shit hole without any problems. Other than that nothing much...oh well, perhaps later I should go down-town to get a pair of inline skates as a present for myself..hahaha...interested parties who want to share out the cost just holler...hahaha

Finally the exams are over...whewz...and I can catch up on my lost sleep..for the time being.
With such extremely cooperative weather, I took advantage of it by sleeping in..before going down to NP to return my textbooks. Now I am slacking at home..enjoying a temporary reprieve before ploughing head-on into my FYP in couple of days time. I will be going back NP to start my FYP. With the tremendous among of resources, it sure beats the crappy resources of school.
Going back to NP everytime never fails to let me feel proud...and of course, the "visual" environment sure beats the lousy dressing of school..names witheld to protect its"reputation"...hahaha...
Anyway, my good buddy is back from his half-yearly sojurn down under..and with that a piece of good news..hehe..seems like there has been something going on between him and a gal we know..oh well..hope things work out well between them..I feel happy for the bugger..
Alot of plans have been made to go for overseas trips..nearby of course..maybe to Desaru and KL to spend New Year while Xmas plans are still in the pipeline...I am currently planning a trip to Phuket with my uni-mates..hope it turns out well..
This is going to be helluva week for my mates are going to drown me in alcohol as a mark to the end of exams and,to celebrate mine and jeremy's birthdays. The prospect doesn't sond promising, especially since stone was knocked out flat by them and the resulting hangover lasted 2 days...damn..hope they be lenient to me...hahaha..
Cheers to FYP and the hols ahead!!!!

Finally, I can proudly say my new blog design is up. Oh well, considering the situation now..yah..exam season..
But it is a form of stress relief for me..something to break the mudane task of mugging for exams. Well..to update abit..from most of the exams I have taken so far, I don't have any confidence in clearing all of them..including my most feared ones: Maths..
I only can say that I have tried my best and that it's God's will if I really don't made it. Perhaps it's part of their way of conveying a message that nothing comes easy and that only through hard work, your results will prove it...yah..Maybe maybe...
Anyway, I have 2 more papers to go..both on Monday..haiz..2 papers in one day..how INTERESTING huh??...HRM in the morning, thermodynamics in the afternoon...for the past few days, I have been studying thermodynamics which I "accidentally" failed last time and till now, I am only 3/4 through.
HRM is more of organisational management and its something which entails reading "uncle" Foo's research papers and coming up with the apprioprate response. It just reminds me of the GE which I took once...which is similar..hopefully I can scrape through this too...
Now..back to something more serious..a conversation with a fellow colleague started me thinking again...of my long-term prospects in the force.I would be at the cross-roads of my life in 6 years time when my bond is up and I am free to leave the force. I have 2 options, either to stay in the force,retire by 42 and collect a big fat gratuity from them or to leave and pursue my life-long dream of becoming a pilot..albeit as a much degraded form..commercial pilot..
The road to becoming a pilot would be long..2 years of flight training Down-Under with the possiblity of being washed out anytime...and upon completion,another 10 years of hard work before becoming a Captain..
The money would, of course, be different. Which fool will take a paycut of over thousand bucks to pursue their passion?...and if I am lucky to get hitched by that time, it will be pretty difficult for wifey as well...argh..all these will have to come into play by then..
If I stay in the force, the route of advancement will be pretty straight forward..an Ops tour, Staff tour at the headquarters, followed by a Command tour before retiring..and after that what should I do? Drive a cab or bus?
Damn..so many decisions to make...

2 down..6 to go..Arghhhh....
Today's paper doesn't look that promising..after tallying the marks I might lose, it came up to a scary figure or 55 marks..and the paper is 100 marks...damned!!
It was kinda tough compared to the 2 previous semester papers which I attempted. How come they have to make it so difficult for us? All we ask for is to pass all our papers without any hitch and get out of the hell-hole..is it THAT difficult?
I have spent countless days and nights memorising...yes, memorising..you can't possibly understand all those stuff..even after summarising them, it's still 6 pages long..haiz..how can I remember them? Many of my buds couldn't remember all those stuff and came out shaking their heads in disbelief.
I don't have any mood to study today...just feel like hopping into my fave Tomcat and punching through the clouds in full 'burners. At least flying through the wild blue yonder makes me destress..but alas..it's just a dream...which someday I hope to fulfill...

Alas, one down and 7 more challenging papers ahead....I think I did well for this paper, considering the amount of long nights and countless cups of coffee I put up to prepare for the exams...so hopefully I get an A..ok lah not too greedy..a B for this paper?
It was a kinda surprising for me as this was the first time I finished my paper early..I finished it in like..2 hrs instead of the full 2.5 hours..submitted the paper and walked out of the exam hall while the rest of them were struggling through the paper. Loitered outside and sipped a Coke while waiting for the rest of the fellas...they did good too..so hopefully we will get our deserved grades..*cross fingers*..
The next paper is on tuesday and it will be a super challenging paper...I have only finished revising like 60% of the coursework and still have many more to go sia..I guess if I can't finish them in time, I will just have to do the past year papers to get a feel on how the lecturers set the questions...the hints given to us were to do the past year papers and I think it do helps..so I think I will I do them on Monday or maybe Sunday...it all depends on how much I can cover today..and today I need to revise for another module which will be on the week after next..tough man..no life again..
But what is no life compared to the amount of satisfaction I can gain when I find out I have passed all my papers and scored well??..Oh well, time to go to school to meet my kakis for mugging sessions...
Wish me luck!!
