Sad Currency Exchange Rate

August 12th, 2008

My attention was drawn towards the currency exchange module I had on my desktop. For the past few days, the currency rate for United States was rising. While this is good news for the Americans, it is sad news for me.

I deal in online business in US dollars, and this means increased costs in buying. I was hoping to take advantage of the weakening dollar when I was to renew my web hosting. But if The Dollar continues to strengthen, I may have to pay a bit more.

Besides, remember the cosplay plans in my previous entry? We are outsourcing for costumes overseas and the currency used is the US Dollars. Damn!

Hopefully, the exchange rate between Singapore and United States won’t go above 1.5 before October. Otherwise, there will be some repercussions.

Yes! The hiatus is still on. I am studying, okay?

I know this blog is supposed to be on hiatus. Face it, I’m bored. So, for the next hour, the hiatus has been lifted.

For the past 2 days, I was studying with Zhi Wei and Eugene for the finals. I have to say, Zhi Wei acts like a restless 5 year-old kid. And I have spent lots of time rolling my eyes or sighing in exasperation at his antics.

Anyway, during our study breaks (a.k.a. lunch, tea), the three of us have been discussing about certain forces within the world. It seems the balance has already started to tilt against that force. I’m both surprised and not surprised at that. I overestimated the powers of manipulation from the force. And perhaps, I underestimated the wits of those influenced by the force. Most are beginning to awake from the illusion.

Above all, I believe in karma, the greater force of cause and effect that affect everyone. It is simply a manifestation of the consequences of our actions. This, I believe, is the downfall of the force. It has neglected any thought of consequence.

Let me be personal about it. I dislike the force, and its disregard to honour, loyalty and respect. Yet, I needn’t partake in any action against it. Karma has taken care of that and will continue to do so, as long as the force persists in its present form.

Besides this force, there is another one of chaos. I and some chosen ones must partake in ceasing this force. It is necessary, for it is affecting the balance. And while I take stock in karma, I believe in this case karma is taking too long. Yet if we do take action before karma does, we will be karma itself.

If you read that and do not understand, don’t be alarmed. I have a knack for talking in riddles and in circles.

P.S. Hiatus is back on.

It’s the period when I complain and worry about the exams. It begins on 16th of August.

While I’m hopeful about covering my required topics for all 4 modules, at the back of my head there are some nagging doubts. Previously, I had no discipline to study a few hours at a go, at a quick pace. Why should now be any different?

I got through the last exams by last-minute cramming and the results were surprisingly good. Nonetheless, I can’t bear overnight cramming again. It is a torture. Especially when you end up with a bad headache and exceedingly horrendous temper from the lack of sleep.

Anyway, I apologise to my friends for not keeping in contact for the past weeks. I don’t wish to give any excuses for my bad habits. And this apology goes to Harris especially. I feel bad about it.

That’s all.

Lethargic and Bored

July 23rd, 2008

I don’t even know what i’m doing in school. I feel like a zombie; my body acting on its own accord, against what my mind wants. So tired…

This Halloween, look out for the Hidden Village of The Dragon. What am I talking about?

On October 31st 2008, I’m getting my class to dress up in costume. Eversince my obsession with Naruto, I’ve founded my own ninja village, my class. And allocated clans to separate groups of my classmates. Very soon, a website will be built to provide information on the various clans and the storyline.

Costumes will be standardised clan-wise and authority-wise.

On another note, I’ll be participating in my first cosplay event this August, hopefully. The exams are just weeks away and I need to source for my costume. The lack of time is a huge factor, especially when I intend to ship the costume over. Oh yes, and I need to study…

Besides, if I go alone, it’d be really weird, so I’m looking for friends to go with me. Don’t worry about the costume. I can source it for you.
