Why must clocks have wings?

What I was up to during the holidays 

So the vacation period is finally over. I did nothing too useful, nothing productive. In other words, everything went according to plan.

Oh during the very last week of the break I did join the RedCamp Student Leaders' Camp. That was fun. We painted 50 masks, made 50 shurikens and kunais, learnt a lot of cheers, had tons of fun. Probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. You guys are awesome. NINJAS ROCK!

We had a crazed dinner just few days ago. After decorating our masks. Which I failed to do so. We initially painted it black and planned to add blue and white to it. I tried a design. I didn't like it. I painted the whole mask white. Like when we bought it. Back. To. Square. ONE.

Dinner. We spent more than an hour talking about show, cartoons, movies and whatnot. Random one of us randomly shout out random show title and everyone got so freaking excited. And it just rolled on. It was kinda touching to know that quite a lot of us watched movies like 500 Days of Summer, Forgetting Sarah Marshall etc. Now I know who my movie kakis are.

Ninjas ninjas we gather together! Can't wait for RedCamp 8. It's really going to be one hell of a time!

YYYYEEAAAAAAA

And the first week of school went pretty well. Though ES swapped the Circuit Analysis and Strength of Materials modules for Digital and Analogue Electronics. Not much of a choice had we. Needed the background knowledge for our research projects at NTU.

First comiss class was alright. Gahhh but my lecturer's a trained writer. Write articles in magazines and stuff. Even interviewed Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears bla bla blah. Cheating our way through this module isn't really plausible. The last thing I want is a shitty group mate who does nothing but free load and slack. Actually the last thing I want is for me to be that person. Yea.

Hmm what else. Oh. I guess I'll be starting on stage magic soon. Christmas performance at Punggol CC coming soon. Gotta be prepared for it. And NP X'mas party too. 20 minutes. 400 people (I doubt that). I best not screw up. I haven't even started to structure my performance. Ideas scattered here and there. Must. Start.

*NINJA SMOKE BOMB TRANSITION*

I just went to see my school's concert band. It's part of president's challenge raising money for charity. Support Qiu Ting, Arshad and Elisha! And of course I dragged along YY and Cheryl. And somehow Xiang Xun was with us too.

It was really really good! They played a few songs that I don't really know. And they did a Beatles Medley! Something. Yesterday. Fool On The Hill. Here There Everywhere. All My Loving. A Hard Day's Night. Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Lady Madonna. Ticket To Ride. ahh what else. I forgot. I LOVED IT. Oh MJ too. Rock With You. Thriller. Man In The Mirror. I'll Be There. And a few other classics. Great taste. Clever of them to do Lady Gaga's Born This Way for the final encore. Nice touch.

Tutti Frutti yogurt is quite dear. =(

I had a good day. =)

Tomorrow is a holiday. =)

Stay hungry, stay foolish

No one can rock a turtleneck like he did

One of the great minds of the 21st century passed away earlier today. Steve Jobs. Co-founder of Apple Inc. Aged 56. Died of Pancreatic cancer. After fighting it for more than half a decade.

Steve Jobs changed the world with his visions and innovation. He made it better. He owned. 

Without his contributions I would not be listening to my favourite songs on my iPod. Arts and design students would have no Macbooks to use. In one of his speeches, he  even mentioned that he made possible Sans Serif and other fonts when typing using the computer. It's uncanny that ideas from the mind of a single human being can make such a significant difference in all of our lives. 

A true legend. A bona fide visionary. A freaking daredevil. Hell, he dropped out of college just because he couldn't see the value in it. How many of us have the audacity to make such a bold move? 

His death is probably the biggest one after MJ's. Such a pity. Such a great loss. Well, people tend to die at some point of their lives. The least we could do is to learn as much as possible from him and lead the craft better than he had found.

I guess we don't have to worry about people forgetting him. His legacy will be with us for always.

Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

RIP Steve Jobs
