We're getting close to finding Earth's twin.

I've always believed in extra-terrestrial life. I mean, the universe is ever so big and expanding, surely it is arrogant to believe that we're the only lifeform in this whole universe right?





Absolutely, and now we're a big step closer to finding alien-life.





Planet hunters say it is a matter of time before we find a similar-like Earth in planets beyond the galaxy.



According to MSN.com, astronomers announced that they had discovered three super-Earth in a single star last week.

That is absolute good news because if there are similar Earth-planets, it means that it has the potential to support and sustain life isn't it?








"I suspect there are Earth-like planets with lakes and rivers and waterfalls and deep glacial gorges and that are spectacularly beautiful," one of the team members Marcy said.








Because water is an essential substance for the survival of all life-forms, any planets with water might have life forming underneath, but we'll still not sure.








Regardless, let's just hope that we can find our Earth's twin as soon as possible, and it could be a big breakthrough!

Little gifts, big appreciation.

Been rather busy recently, and I've been facing my laptop screen so often. Macbook's "wide-screen" is only 13.3 inches and it really strains my eyes after some time. Thankfully, YingYing gave me some of her cookies which she baked, and it managed to cheer me up for quite sometime.

I thought it tasted pretty good, but there's still ample room for improvement.

Totally well-thought, and the cookie inside had chocolate-fillings. Good!

Thanks alot YingYing, you've been very nice! Who knows you can sell cookies with Khai Theng and be an interior designer at the same time!

And while I was taking things out from my bag, I saw this pouch which has been with me all this while for this semester.

It was a gift from Angie, and whenever I look at it, I suddenly have the drive to continue my work without procrastination.

I haven't seen her for more than a month, hope she's doing well!

Nice and traditional pouch. I like the tiny old man.

Thanks Angie, hope everything's well for you. Let's meet up sometime okay?!

And..

I really miss Mrs Yap, and I think I haven't seen her for months! This little keychain has been with me for more than a year, and whenever I see this keychain..

It reminds me of her. Mrs Yap is a both a friend and a teacher, and this is what I respect her most. So down-to-earth! Mrs Yap, hopefully I can meet you soon!

There are other gifts which my friends gave but although they're not posted here, they're really appreciated. Thanks people, everytime I look at the gifts you people prepared for me, I just think of the wonderful times we had.

Thanks a lot!

Too gullible.

Perhaps what Mir-ene said was right, I'm too gullible and innocuous to see the real side of some people.

Maybe as time passes by, my exposure, experience and insight will widen and broaden to see who some people really are.

On a random note, I really miss Yvonne and gang.

I resembles Masi Oka?

Just in case some people doesn't know who's Masi Oka, he's the man who plays Hiro Nakamura in the popular series Heroes, who is able to freeze and bend time, and teleport himself to anywhere he wants to go.

Masi Oka.

And a recent photo of me to compare..

Someone tell me, which part of his facial features do I resemble his? I can only thought of the size of our heads.

On the side of the other note, I think I still prefer his superpowers of bending time etc. I can go anywhere I want without paying for air plane tickets!

Angry!

Finally, my work at Isetan Parkway Parade has finally came to an end, and although it was only a week, I managed to see the ugly side of some people, which pisses me off.

Still, I must say I met more nice people this time, whom are from the Men's Wear department, and they've helped me so much, I don't know how to thank them.

On the other note, I've got more exposure this time and the experience was rather invaluable.

I always reckon myself to be an easy-going person, and this supervisor kept stepping on my tail and I was really pissed.

Our conversation went on with something like this:

Supervisor: Wah, you're so big-sized and you still need help with the wagon?
Me: Excuse me? (with that kind of look)

She replied with a stuttering response, obviously surprised by my audacity to talk to a rank like her. There was already once or twice when she said my response was slow, etc. And I'm required to tell her everytime I go for toilet break or my hour-long break.

I'm already fed-up with her saying my response was slow. I mean, I haven been working in the sales line for already 6 months and my mind somehow gets rusty, of course I need to start slowly right?

I somehow has this thinking that unless you're my boss paying me money, I don't need to listen to your unnecessary and illogical comments.

Now I'm feeling really irate. The thought that I've got less than 5 days to finish up my 4 projects pisses me off.

It's a Mad World..

Mad World is a song by Gary Jules which a friend of mine introduced, and I really liked it. It also reflects on what I'm currently feeling now, so I think I can relate to the song.


I had recorded a video of myself singing Mad World, and it was posted a few weeks ago. It was meant to be a secret with no intention to let any of my friends know, but some people found out, so I thought I post it here.

Don't laugh as I sing, because I look rather funny in the video. So there you go..


Mad World


Lyrics:

Mad World Lyrics:All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races

Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glassesNo expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funnyI find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever hadI find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to takeWhen people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me

Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell youI find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... world
Enlarge your world
Mad world

Tired..

I've been reaching home very late everyday as I'm working at Isetan Parkway Parade.

My working hours are long, and fatigue really caught up with me after these days. Plus I wasn't really happy because I've got projects needed to hand in and I've got like only 1 week to do them.

Plus I really need to take a break but the projects are weighing heavily in my mind.

Sigh, I wouldn't have work if I have enough pocket money..

Self-reflecting thoughts..

Approximately 2 months of polytechnic life have passed, and I must say that it is a very hectic one.

I was on track with all my projects within the first few weeks, and I was working very hard, thinking of how to improve my work. The turning point came when Yellow Pages Singapore pulled off from the competition, and that left a huge blow in my confidence and my attitude.

I did put hard work for only some of my projects, and neglected some important ones as well.

But my typography lecturer Ms Tan showed some gestures and I was really touched by her words. Plus when she and my studio project lecturer Ms Ong treated the whole class Macdonald's breakfast because we did well, I felt a sense of regret and guilt.

It's because I feel I didn't really deserve the treat on second thoughts, as I didn't put in much effort compared to my classmates.

I suddenly have the urge to work hard and do my best because at that point of time, because it seems that every lecturer are so nice and down-to-earth.

Wait, I suddenly have a loss for words. I don't know how to explain.

Still, I would still like to thank them..

We managed to took some pictures, and since we've never dine together as a class, so I'll treasure this photo. It's a pity that Tyron couldn't join us though.

Hopefully we will stay united.

It's the state of bliss you think you're dreaming, it's the happiness inside that you're feeling.

What the..

I seriously can't believe I dreamt of her.



Am I really in love with her?

Pictures with polytechnic friends..

Updates have been scarce, because I've been rather busy with schoolwork, and also did a recording.

So for now, I shall update some random photos of my beloved polytechnic friends over the past weeks, with credits to Mir-ene and Shirley.

Look at Jacintha! I love that expression!

Wei Qi loves to pose in this manner.

Clockwise: Shirley, Fazal, Jacintha, James, Tyron and Wei Qi.

Mir-ene and I! We call each other thin and bean sprout!

Was doing a design project and mine was called Porn Train. So the social issue here was pornography addiction..

Ultra-man in the making?

The image below is my design artpiece and it's NC-16. I was in a wacky mood so I decided to do something tongue-in-cheek by trying to lick the paper!

Paper didn't taste so good till now.

Ok, it marks the end of this entry, and I'm going to update soon!

Thank you..

You know, it really brightens up my day when people tell me they like my blog, my writing and how I express myself and my views about certain topics.

I feel appreciated. Thanks.


Meanwhile, before the clock strikes twelve, I would like to wish Guan Jie happy birthday!

You wouldn't want to encounter this fish.

This fish is called the Vampire fish (Candiru), and it is found in Brazil. Interestingly, it is only discovered only in the Year 2005. It is so small and transparent that it is nearly impossible to see it. So what's the danger of it, you ask?

People, this fish is perverted. If a naked swimmer swims in the Amazon or Oranoco river, the Vampire fish will...

SWIM INTO YOUR VAGINA, RECTUM (BUTT HOLE) AND EVEN PENIS.

And it will cause shock and death to the victim.

The only way to remove it is surgery.

Why is it so attracted to humans' private parts? The main reason is that the Vampire fish is addicted to human urine.

It is able to track a swimmer by the water flow, and when a bather/swimmer urinates in the river, it will then attack the person.

It is indeed one of the world's strangest animals!
