Fa Ru Xue

Fa Ru Xue means snow-like hair in mandarin and its a song by Jay Chou.

My friend helped me look up Google for the translation of the song into English and I never knew how deep the meaning of the song was was. I mean even though it was translated into English, it still sounded so poetic and good, cause normally when you try translatting a language into another, it'd either sound dumb or it won't just be as good but yeah, this song Fa Ru Xue won plenty of awards too.

I like Jay Chou's old songs.

It's just human nature (?)

Hi all.

It's 2 o' clock on the dot and I just woke up. Haven't woken up so late in ages and boy does it feel good. Still am on my bed, at the end of it with my back against the wall, notebook on my lap, the weather outside is something like what you get in Malaysia on a chilled sun-less day but a lil more windier and less humid, and I can actually hear birds chirping outside my window, this I kid you not.

I am absolutely enjoying this ! haha.

I knocked off my third paper yesterday, and my final one is next Tuesday. Hence the sluggish mode.

I was doing a bit of thinking last night and the same thought I had 2 years ago kinda striked back at me; is leading a balanced life considered a greedy thing ?

Balanced life? Greedy? Yeah you must be going like what? But here's how I think of it, like there are days where life is just so great, filled with endless amounts of fun and nothing to worry about, and also days or rather periods in life where you just feel like dying and leaving the world just because its too hard to continue going on. Well having it balanced is like wanting a bit of both. (Edit: was reading through the post but hmm, actually when I first had this thought two years ago in KL, a balanced life was like in between a simple life and a happening life. That's right. The original thought from two years ago)

Now, wanting a bit of two things. Does that make one greedy?

Greed. I just looked up Google (lol yes Google is a dear friend to me) and the sites I came across relate greed to desires to excessive power, wealth and stuff relating to materialism. Okay, the greed I'm talking about here is not in the materialistic context. More of .. I don't know actually.

I don't usually write deep stuff so I'm prolly gonna make this post sound awkward but yeah just a thought on vodkacolafreak.

Back to the question, wanting a bit of two things. How does that work?

I know, it's not called greedy for leading a balanced life but its just funny the way I think of it. Cos back in KL, it was either days I lived which were really simple:

Come back from college, take away dinner, eat in front of the notebook while watching a tv series, have some coke, and I'm happy but it can get a bit dullish at times.

Or days where my life was packed with things to do with people: Skipping classes to play pool, party like there's no tomorrow (I used to club on a weekend basis without fail. Scary huh) and heading out at 11pm every night for yum cha sessions.

Two complete opposite lifestyles.

And wanting it balanced. I dunno. I always tend to think that's being greedy but no its not.

And why do things just always have to come this way; where you either can't find it when you need it or its everywhere around you when you DON'T need it. It's so annoying that way.

Or maybe it's just the same ol' line that pops in my head when these things happen to me;

You always want what you can't have.

Reminds me of the song "For you I will" by Teddy Geiger. Used to play this song all day. But yeah, don't you think its just human nature for one to want things you can't have, but like once you've gotten hold of it, you tend to either feel like. i dunno. You can feel content but the other way to feel is like you've already obtained it and realised that's it? Is this all there is to it? Like part of the excitement just vanished.

Hmm. And I just lost the mood to write hahah

Whoa I've been here for 50 minutes already hmm.

I have one more paper but I'm totally unofficially starting my holidays :D Got a movie to catch later to. Yes? No? Why not?

"Nothing tastes as sweet as what I can't have"

Takumi

So I am down with two papers already :D

And I'm already in the mood to relax and unwind, not in the mood to study anymore etc. NOOOO. My next paper is on Monday fyi.

But I guess one night after two papers which were sorta back-to-back is alright eh? So I had dinner in the city at Takumi on Bourke St. last night. Its some jap restaurant and I've actually heard lots about it. Was quite fine dining actually; I thought it'd be some other japanese restaurant like Sushi Groove or something but it was more like mmm.. what can I compare it with in Malaysia.. Ninja Jones?

Anyways I had Plum wine! One of my favourites. And wagyu beef is still the bomb.. I was asked to be asian hence the following picture

Whoah I look so tired -_-
and Iphones don't take good pictures in dim lighting tsk tsk.

And had black sesame and green tea ice cream too, haven't had that stuff in ages. Yum yum.

Anyways, Monday's paper.. ugh.. okay gotta work on that now. Have a good week ahead people and I will see you all pretty much soon, it's gonna be November tomorrow already.

Whoa. November already. That means its gonna be the second last month of the year. Now that was pretty fast for a year to go by?

Brain Food

So my final examinations start tomorrow. 9.30am.

And me being the weird person I am looked up google on what's good to eat for brain power before sitting for a 3hour paper.

I keyed in "exam food" lol and read a couple of sites, most of them encouraging students who are going to sit for an exam to have porridge, whole grain cereals with milk (dairy, soy or rice milk), wholegrain toast, yoghurt, fresh fruit juice and milk as they contain fast acting carbohydrates, which slowly releases carbs and energy helping to maintain concentration and alertness throughout the morning.
(http://www.csu.edu.au/division/studserv/exam/day/food.htm)

I also read from a forum where people said bananas are good for sustaining energy.

Another one was to bring in a bottle of isotonic drink as its isotonic fluid is what keeps the brain active or something like that.

"Isotonic drinks contain glucose and this is the primary fuel of the brain. A steady supply of glucose has been associated with improved concentration and focus. Because these drinks are absorbed quickly then blood glucose levels are kept topped up. Ensure that you keep your water intake up too!" (http://www.csu.edu.au/division/studserv/exam/day/food.htm).

So yeah I'm gonna try the isotonic drink thing. Luckily I have a bottle of Gatorade in the fridge lol. It does make sense, drinking an isotonic drink keeps you fresh and alert, right?

On the other hand, caffeine and high sugar foods should be avoided as it gives you a rush of energy for a short period of time, then leaving you rather dull and sluggish after. Nope, not suitable for a three hour paper.

Oh yes, and I've planned my breakfast for tomorrow morning already. lol. Eggs are in as well. I hope I don't end up eating so much that I have to go pass motion during the paper -____-

Okay what am I still doing online. All the best to the rest of you having finals ! Do your best, don't regret and rest well. I reckon your head needs it.

Now the next choice, KL or Ipoh?
