Doubles

Introducing Huiling's best friend, insane Linghui emanated from sane Huiling.
Although they share the same body, they are of stark difference in personality.

She is out to corrupt Huiling's rational thoughts and proper conduct with her warped logics and theories.

Huiling thinks: Save! Save! Save for Japan! Stop wasting money!'
Linghui argues: Ay... just get it from Mom and Dad.

Huiling contemplates: Should I buy LOTRs extended version?
LingHui snaps: Just buy it you dumbass.

Huiling procrastinates: Should I start learning driving?
LingHui frowns: Don't waste your time.

Huiling wonders: Should I start studying?
LingHui yawns: Later. You will pass.

And so the battle between Huiling and Linghui begins.

Oh man, haha what crap did I just type? No, that wasn't me, that was Linghui's crazy doings. I reckon I sounded like a psychopath haha. Too bad, you have a psychopathic friend.

Sigh, so I've been busy doing random stuff (i.e. incessant rushes for lectures, cooking, i-siting, callings, checking out Japan's stuff, studying Japanese - I know I'm being overly excited for something which would only come probably 9months later) to the extent that I'm blardy tired.

Some how when you get blardy dead tired, you kinda see things more clearly. Its like a state of nirvana. Its funny how bored I am yet how busy I can get. Paradoxical as it seems but its my kinda lifestyle now. I'm pretty much running about trying to get things done yet I feel unfulfilled at the end of the day which is really quite frustrating. And insomnia starts getting into me - I know that I'm in a state which only sleep can help but I just lie there for a couple of hours, my mind screaming for some rest yet this whole train of thoughts just stampedes through my mind.

And that horrid viscous cycle of being unproductive, lethargic and inert starts all over again the next day. See the root of being grumpy?

And so whats up with my current reflections? Nothing much actually, pretty much the same as what I usually think. Well actually, trying to do something about my life now and convincing myself that Huiling must stop thinking! But still...thinking very very hard for a couple of ideas on how to make more money! (i.e. Spencer, if you ask me another question about the trip, its chargeable at $2.99. But taking into account that you were once an Odac mate/class mate, 10 questions for $20 HAHAHAHA. Oh, you can split the costs up with the other 4 guys.) Yeah, I'll go back to the old notes business although I reckon the turn out wouldn't be that promising but the risks of a loss is almost nil and its the easiest, fastest way to make big bucks. (Although it can only commence at the later part of Semester 1, when students start getting panic bout their grades and Huiling would disguise herself as a hero to save them from their dire state of i-am-going-to-fail with her power-packed notes. Hahaha NAH! Everything is in the name of profits and slogan 'Bring in the money!')

What a horrid money-minded person I am.

Whats with this week

Huiling is so not happy this week.
Must be the side-effects of watching too much Heroes. (Yeah I finished it. I finished Season 2 within 2 days.. sigh..).

Plus 2 nights without sleeping.

Plus its my first year spending CNY out of Sg/Msia. (I initially thought it wouldn't matter but there was this feeling of dismality lingering within me these couple of days)

Plus I'm really way behind my studies and don't exactly know whats happening any more.

Plus the blistering heat and glaring sun is giving me headaches.

Plus the house is messy and dirty.

Plus I don't like the slopes I need to walk when I've to go to town.

Plus I need to start working soon, 2 days before the exams.

Plus I don't feel that well. Because of that SUN!

Roar. I'm sooo blardy grumpy. The earth is really dying my friends. Please do something about it else I'll die under the horrid sun. Argh. Argh. Argh. So not in a good mood. The only cure for me now is this!LOTRs Trilogy EXTENDED VERSION!
If only I can get my hands on a few Red Packets, I'll definitely buy that. Money from work...needs to go to Japan. Oh man... how I wish I can just....buy that! Contemplating...contemplating... I can see temptation overriding everything else soon. Nah...I'll wait for a special occasion. Maybe during Children's Day.

The Ultimate Warrior

Guess which is the ultimate warrior:
1) Samurai
2) Boxer
3) Taekwondo Master
4) Ninja
5) Drunken Master
6) Thai Boxer
7) Kunfu Master

Ans: Ninja.

I was watching this documentary, Fighting Science and its darn cool! Yeah, I admit Science can be actually, quite interesting sometimes. They used state of the art technology to test martial arts myth to see whether it is actually a fact.

Myth or fact - A knock out punch.
Fact.
Martial Art which has the deadliest punch - Boxer

Myth or Fact - A knock out kick.
Fact.
Martial Art which has the deadliest kick - Thai Boxer

Fastest Reaction Time - Taekwondo - they are almost able to predict the movements of the enemy

Speed - Kungfu, Drunken master

But the Ninja wins the title of the Ultimate Warrior.

The Ninja is someone specially trained in a variety of unorthodox arts of war. The methods used by ninja included assassination, espionage, and a variety of martial arts.

Their roles may have included sabotage, espionage, scouting and assassination missions as a way to destabilize and cause social chaos in enemy territory or against an opposing ruler, perhaps in the service of their feudal rulers (daimyo, shogun), or an underground ninja organization waging guerilla warfare.They usually carry out missions which the Samurais cannot, due to their nobility.

Oh man, the way the Ninja fought was #$%^&*( cool. It was an experiment about the fighters from different martial arts background techniques, speed, strength etc. So its real. And its cool. They were like...experts. Anyways, one word - cool. As opposed to this horrid weather. Argh.

A very bad experience

Seems like things haven't been going on too well the past couple of days.
Alright, I admit I was and still am too slack for this summer school, I've lagged quite a bit. Remember I was pretty determined not to watch Heroes? Yet, temptation always win over determination so yeah, I started on it (Because I returned LOTRs so I thought that was quite a good reason for me to start on Heroes). As usual, I got addicted again - watching 5hours everyday and of course, late nights follow.

To curb that addiction, I knew I needed to get out of the house. And where better to go to other then GJs? Determined to get down to some serious work, I packed my books and off I went, unintentionally packing LOTRs book in it as well. -__-" Yeah my productivity level was pretty low that day.

Anyhows, its Monday today. And I thought it would be a good start to having a new start! I kinda planned my timetable - what I've to cover etc and I was quite positive that I WILL STOP drifting away in lectures. But I woke up late, went for lectures late. Sat through a couple of minutes and felt odd. There shouldn't be any reason why I should feel sick so I thought...maybe I slept a lil too lil. But nah... I usually sleep that lil. So I thought I'll be fine.

After another 10 minutes, I knew it was totally wrong. My head was spinning, I couldn't really figure what was written in my course book, couldn't really hear the lecturer speaking and felt..cold and numb. Basically, I felt sick. I knew I was about to vomit/faint since I'd quite a few experiences before. So using my last bit of consciousness, I got out of the lecture room else I'll create a big scene there if I don't.

Once I got out, I knew I was really not feeling well. I collapsed on the nearest couch, just outside the lecture room and laid there for quite some time. Luckily there wasn't anyone there and I thought I just needed to lie down for a moment or so to regain my composure but it became worse. My body became numb and I broke into cold sweat and my head was exploding. Basically I felt paralyzed. I couldn't really think clearly - all I know is that I don't wanna get sent to some hospital or something like that and I don't want them to inform my parents.

I laid down for a lil while more and I decided I should make my way home before it gets worse. Popped in a Panadol and tried walking back but it was impossible. Everything started to blurred out once I stood up. So for starters, I struggled to the toilet thinking that maybe I just needed to vomit.

But...wrong decision. I collapsed in the cubicle and at that moment I kinda thought.. damnit I'm going to die. At last I was convinced that I couldn't make my way home alone and that there was really something wrong, I pulled myself up and got out of the cubicle and collapsed outside (omg, I was literally cleaning up the toilet floor with my clothes by the rate I was collapsing haha) I was conscious, just that I couldn't open my eyes. 2 girls helped me up and dragged me to the help center. I didn't get the chance to thank them nor even look at them, they left after which, when the nurse wheeled me in. After resting there and hour or so, I felt much better. Sigh....it was so embarrassing.

Seems like my determination to catch up with my studies is really not within my will today!

Anyhows, I ripped this off somewhere:

Worst analogies ever written in a high school essay

• The red brick wall was the color of a brick-red Crayola crayon.
Unknown

• Her date was pleasant enough, but she knew that if her life was a movie this guy would be buried in the credits as something like "Second Tall Man."
Russell Beland, Springfield

• Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.
Unknown

• The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.
Russell Beland, Springfield

And I have one too!

The serial drama, 'Heroes' was calling out to Huiling like how The Ring in LOTRs was calling out to Frodo.
Huiling Chen, Auckland

Oh, I was also watching this documentary about the Aryan Brotherhood and its appalling! But its really... quite unbelievable, the way they function and how ruthless they are. Its crazy. But I kinda feel that, there are still at least a lil morality and principals within them, or rather a couple of them. It sounds totally ironic but the defector of the brotherhood did so because he realized that it was out of the basic principles he believed in. Being a defector means death. A painful one. See the way they kill? You will feel that you rather not live. Maybe you don't mind being killed. But they wipe out your family members. Yes, even if both you and them are in prison, they still can do it. Even if you are within the tightest security system, they will still get you. You step on their toes, the next day you are dead. Oh man...they are the true 'Godfather'.

The Aryan Brotherhood
The Aryan Brotherhood, (also known as the AB or The Brand) is a prison gang numbering about 15,000 members in and out of prison. In March 2006, four leaders of the Aryan Brotherhood were indicted for numerous crimes, including murder, conspiracy, drug trafficking, and racketeering. According to the FBI, although the gang makes up less than 1% of the prison population, it is responsible for up to 26% of murders in the federal prison system.

Organization at lower levels varies from prison to prison. For example, in the Arizona prison system, members are known as "kindred" and organize into "families". A "council" controls the families. Kindred may recruit other members, known as "progeny", and serve as a mentor for the new recruit.
