Happy Birthday

Well well.. look at the time. Isn't it my birthday? Wow. I'm officially 25 now if that even means anything. There was a time when i was like 14 and the youngest in some of the IRC channels like sgboy and whatever that's there. I actually took pride it in, because most of them was over 20, 30, 40.. Now i can't say the same anymore can i? I guess it wouldn't be so bad if i actually was working now, like what i should be doing. I don't know, i feel.. unaccomplished? Big word.. Though it still means the same thing whichever way you twist it. And it wouldn't be so bad if everyone around me was my age. Yep, that would definitely help. Although, i must add that i'm not the OLDEST in the lecture hall. Gee.
Why is it that when you are young, you look forward to birthdays. Look forward to celebrate, to grow up, to the future. And when you are older, you just want to skip birthdays altogether. I wonder if i'm the only one who thinks that way. Is it normal? Does my "unaccomplishment" have anything to do with that? Hmm.. Makes me wonder.
And i kinda don't wanna spend the rest of my life feeling so negatively about my own birthday! Haha. I mean, it's my birth day, it's a time to celebrate. I know i shouldn't, but i was kinda hoping that later on after my class, my baby will magically show up and ... surprise me. I know, my baby's got camp and with his training he won't be back until end of this week. Or so i was told. Hmm.. Something is definitely up. Still, i would rather be "kept" in the dark and be surprised. Rather than interpret too much of the situation and in the end, if baby really doesn't surprise me, well, i'll be disappointed i guess. Am i naive to be looking forward to a surprise? :)
Speaking of baby, i'm really missing him. I spent the new year at the stroke of midnight with baby, so of course on my birthday i'm expecting nothing less. A hug, a kiss. I'm content.
Ok, it's my birthday. As much as i don't wanna attend the lecture later on, i really don't wanna end up staying at home the whole day. Especially on a day like my like birthday. That would be really sad.
G'night y'all. Happy 25th birthday to me.

Words of Wisdom

"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest."
— Adam Smith

My lecturer was sharing this in class, and i was thinking to myself "Oh man that's so true". The butcher didn't cut and mince and pack or do whatever to the meat just for you. The brewer didn't buy the best coffee beans and come up with aromatic coffee just for you. And similarly the baker didn't put the extra glaze and icing and frosting just for you. They do that so that they can charge more, so that they can earn more, and it's only for their own interest at the end of the day.
So i guess that means that dinner in front of you is paid forth by your OWN hard-earned money, and has nothing to do with the kindness of strangers. And they probably won't do it for free, or at a cheaper price.
Do i make sense? Am i rambling again? Something to think about.
Sleepytime. Missing Baby.

Ramblings

Ok my school has once again started, obviously. It's a good thing because it keeps me busy. And projects are coming up. Not that they are piling up that sort of thing, they're still manageable. Type, type, type. No presentation this semester. Semester 4 already, time flies. Wondering what's at the end of sem 5. I find going all the way to school on a 45 mins journey for a 3 hour class quite silly. I forgot how i managed to sit through all day while in NYP. Some days were so long, 8am to 6 pm kinda thing.

On another unrelated note, my knee has gotten worst for some reason. It's kinda aching as i walk. Really? At 24 years of age? Geez i wonder what's waiting for me a few more decades down the road. Damn it this knee, it's holding me back so much. I haven't ran in months and the last time i did it hurt for the whole week. Tennis, no haven't played for like 2 weeks partly due to the rainy weather nowadays. Crazy, unpredictable weather. But i'd be lying if i say i don't enjoy the occasional colder temperature. Kinda miss the fun times at Genting with baby.

Ok gonna leave now with some funny work-related stories. Can't say they don't make sense though.

A little bird was flying south for the Winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.
While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.
The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.

Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!


An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?"
The eagle answered, "Sure , why not."
So the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested.
All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.


A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull.
"They're packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Goodnight!

Zen State of Mind

I've been on youtube lately looking at aquarium designs and "aquascaping" and wow some are really works of art, truly amazing. Typically there are a few styles but the more common ones are the the dutch and japanese layout for the plants. Well dutch layout is kinda nice, but generally they look like european style of design, which is clustered and a constructed mess if you will. You can goggle or youtube to see what i mean. But the japanese design, in particular the "iwagumi" style is breathtaking. I don't know exactly what it means, but this style is quite zen and if you've seen japanese gardens you know what i mean. Peaceful, serene, kinda landscape-y and definitely the opposite of constructed mess. Ok, a picture is worth a thousand worth so here are some examples.




Ok, the last picture is my favourite and i really, really wish i could style my little aquarium like that but beggers can't be choosers. One can still dream right? Ok you see my point? It's like mini landscapes(what you see on land) depicted in a tank with fishes. And the thing i've noticed about this style is that they only keep little fishes and in small quantity. I think this is to illustrate the vastness of the landscape or something. It's breathtakinggggg...

Ok enough ramblings. Now pictures of MY tank. Y'know my baby calls me a fish killer, amongst other names. It's true in that sense because i keep buying fish and sometimes they die. Keyword : sometimes. I've had 3 tanks, as far as i can remember. The first one was really big and it sits on my desk. I remember the everytime i buy fish to fill up the tank it would cost like over $80. Crazy huh? But it's crazy beautiful, i had sand at the bottom with driftwood and all that nonsense decorations. My second one was the smallest one to date, and it sat on my bedside table. This was what it looked like.





The light is so dim and the water filter is damn lousy. The reason why the water level is not any higher is because the filter wasn't powerful and thus can't create as much oxygen when it hits the water. And come to think of it the 3 poor goldfish didn't really have enough room. Oh gosh. What a torture it must have been. And by the way goldfishes shit a lot and the water gets yellow easily. So gotta keep changing the water every week. And i bought them at a fish farm (i think) and they're so cute and beautiful huh?
After that a major change, removed the sand, changed to a brighter light, new plant(real one this time), and new filter set to exit like a waterfall, unfortunately wasn't as powerful after like a few weeks. So less oxygen into the water.






This is actually the same tank but it looks so different huh?

Changed another tank, third one and just a little bigger. Added a mossy rock and a driftwood. Mossy rock grew yellow after like a few months by the way and i flushed it down the toilet.






The lizard-looking fishes eat shit by the way. Which is why the tank is constantly so clean ha ha ha. I realised like besides this type of fish, certain type of goldfish eats dump as well. As gross as it sounds to keep a eco-friendly, nasty shit-eating, reduce-reuse-and-recycle type of fish, it's better than have to clean up fish dump every once in a while.

So, this is how my aquarium looks like currently. Lizard-looking fishes died, and got replaced with goldfish(you know why). Plant was growing yellow at the edges so i moved it to a bigger tank in the living room. Meet the 2 new goldfish, Ranchu and Goldie. Goldie's the more golden one. Duh. Cute huh? Forever hungry by the way and always scavaging for food.





Zen style! Actually it's just an excuse to keep it undecorated. In the last pic Goldie's the one at the bottom, Ranchu's the one at the top. I know it's kinda weird i name my fish, but i feel that goldfishes have more personality and character. Ok don't judge me please.
I was thinking maybe i should get grey-white-ish gravel at the bottom, some rocks(to resemble small mountains), and maybe a miniature stone lamp you see in those japanese garden. What do you think?




Magnifique. Can't wait...
