Everything in life has got a value. How value is defined differs greatly between individuals. The underlying function of determining value could be summarized in a word: utility. How much utility, in other words perceived benefits, do you derive from consuming the commodity being valued.

Any one person I ask, I'm sure, will not be willing to pay consideration for something that has no utility to him. That is, of course, under the condition where compensating value is absent. Where sufficient compensation is provided, sufficient to outweigh the perceived negative or zero utility, it is more likely than not that one will be willing to take up the offer. What if compensating value is non-existent as well? We all know the answer: No way.

Then why should I.

Extremely tired recently.. Heaps of work piling up, work not revised, blah blah. Only two core modules, never did expect it to be so tough :P In the process of doing a project report, due next tuesday during the one week recess :D One day before birthday xD

I haven't been able to lose sleep over anything in the past few months. Compared to a year ago, this should be an improvement. Having said that, I don't even feel half as happy as before. Am I trying to hard to be strong? I rather I be losing sleep and wadding in some sort of depression. Depression is addictive, I miss it.

Today was a super long day, had 2 quizzes :P One early in the morning at eight, and the other after lunch at one. Did better than I would expect, given that I didn't really know how to study for them. So mentally drained.. An exceptionally eventful day.

Hi there,

I've decided to revive this blog after I received overwhelming public response asking me to do so (In my dreams! Just thought I should start writing again to prevent myself from getting mouldy). Tune in for updates :)

27th December 2006. 2 days after Christmas. Rain still fell relentlessly from the obscured skies, drousing the land for a time nearly as long as forever. It just never seem to be able to subside. The clouds had been up there 2 days ago; They are still there on the morning of 27th December 2006. Yep, still there.

We actually planned to have a jog at the park beside my house that morning, but it was put off by the showers before daybreak. I went back to sleep, knowing that the rain would pound the earth mercilessly for another day to come at the very least.

Woke up about 1 hour before noon. Still dark. Still sleepy. Still moody. Wandered, idled and played games till around 4 in the afternoon. Then, something popped into my mind. Some midnight movie. Some shopping for birthday presents. Or even, staying overnight, outside.

Dear messaged me to look at the necklaces online. Pretty, they were. She settled all her friends' birthday presents online. Well, we still decided to go out for a late night movie. But, I didn't suggest staying out. She thought we could take NR back home still.

Ate at Subway PS. Shopped a lil. Really was kinda exciting, simply because we haven't stayed out since we got together. Everything was spontaneous. Even the horror of discovering that NR only operates on Fridays, Weekends and Eve of public holidays. Silly us! With two tickets to the 2310 show "Night at the Museum", we are left with no choice but to stay out.  No chance splurging on midnight taxi surcharge. No way.

Enjoyed the movie. Exited Cathay Cineplex. Comfy, the seats were. Raining, it still was. Horrible weather. Infuriating even. Anyway, we decided to make our way to Boat Quay for some drinks and to pass the night.

The journey ahead was a tedious and Herculean one. Rain was pretty heavy even at 1am and the puddles of water gathered were not making our progress any easier. Hilariously, every taxi driver that passed us slowed down in anticipation of us flagging for it. Sadly, we enjoy the stroll in the rain and water in our feet more than the comfort of the dry and warm taxi. (warm, compared to the outside of course.)

In the end, we did reach the pubs at Boat Quay after passing SMU, Raffles Hotel, Raffles City, Esplanade, Art Museum, and countless deserted spooky streets. But, we didn't find a pub that we were comfortable with. Too many shady characters. Well, what the hell. We ended up in the 24hrs Macdonald's just round the corner. We walked an hour in the rain to eat Macs!

Played Tic-Tac-Toe. (Do you spell it this way?) Hangman. Drank Ice Milo, ate McNuggets. Chat. Some more chatting. 0330. Slept on each others' laps. 0430. Waking up. 0500. Woke up. Went over to 7-11 to have a cup of noodles. Seafood for dear, Laksa for me! 0530. Left 7-11 for the bus. 0600. Dear's bus came. She went off =) 0610 Mine came. I went off, too. Kind of an interesting way to pass the 2nd day after Christmas. Merry Christmas to everyone! :)

First paper, didn't really do well, but wasn't too shabby either I guess.  Very tired.. Speak your mind.. please.. Haven't been able to write much in more acceptable English. Sorry to whoever reads. 

Today's tax quiz. Went into class just in time for it. Gah. Those pesky classmates who were early got all the seats. NO SEATS. No DAMN seats can you believe it? Can you believe that someone actually removes tables from seminar rooms?? I personally don't. What the hell.

That Tan How Teck separated me and qingyi. I'm left all on my own! But.. well.. still have to do the quiz without a table. Sian.

Was really happy after the quiz. Feel so relaxed. Even more happy because I saw dear smiling again. She hasn't been smiling these days ever since those projects came along. We had a brief moment of joy in school and later at Subway JP. Yeah, and that was really about all of it to be enjoyed.

171 came and went right before our eyes, making dear sad again. Hate those buses for always ruining my day. On top of that, I screwed up even more by not calling her. Well, what can I say. A screwed up start to a great day ending in a screwed up way. Ciao.

Not a day goes by without something screwing me up. Sometimes, when you're always the one making all the mistakes in a relationship, it really doesn't feel great at all. Sorry for everything.
