Blue Man Group!

BMG.. they are so cool and funky man.. matt, logan and i went to watch them on thursday night and we got the "wet" seats.. haha its cheaper and well, u're in the thick of action from the splashings and stuff.. these 3 blue man are basically entertainers.. playing musics instruments like stomp but abit more rock and techno.. doing tricks like clowns but alot of creativity and skills.. they introduced weird whacky ideas, using different styles and approaches (sometimes disgusting) to entertain the crowds.. haha

i like a particular section where they used unconventional ways to produce pieces of art.. haha one of the blue guy was throwing golf-sized balls filled with paints and marshmellows into the other 2 blue guys mouths at the each end of the stage.. the guy with paintballs crushed them in the mouth and directs the splash onto a piece of canvas.. then he spun the canvas rapidly and squirted some paint, forming a spiral trail of paint! cool! (u all can see the photo later).. oh ya.. and the other guy... i swore that guy stuffed 20+ marshmellows into his mouth.. and he didnt just stuff them.. he caught each of them that was throw from the middle of the stage!! then he just remove the "sculpture" that was formed due to compression of extreme numbers of marshmellows in compact space... disgusting!

hahaha after the show as we're leaving the theatre, we saw the paiting on sale and matt instantly bought it.. it was £25.. but its really quite meaningful i guess... and the proceed goes to charity.. haha he then got the 3 guys to "sign" on his shirt..

see one of their MTV here... they've appeared on Intel adverts too.. haha

choices? or dilemmas?

Ahh... its only the 2nd year of my 4 years course in IC.. and it has already struck me to plot my path for the future.. i guess many would be agreeable with me that there's basically 2 path from graduation on..

1 leads to a professional career with some MNC while the other leads to entrepreneurship...
1 has a path all charted out for u right from the start while the other is akin to running into wilderness hoping to find the magical pool hidden in it..
1 provides u with financial securities while the other supports u as long as the magical pool doesnt run dry..
1 allows u the peace of mind, knowing that u would be earning RM/SGD$/£ X where X would be correlated with ur age/seniority while the other can range from -Y to Y where Y is a real number.
1 you work like crazy to meet some deadline while the other works you like crazy to come out with something innovative
1 where u'll only say "good morning boss" while the other you'll only hear "boss, good morning"
1 where u'll have to work 9-5, 5 1/2 days a week, while the other 24/7, at the comfort of ur home..
1 where ur deadline is more important that ur sweetheart while the other u can enjoy the company of ur dear everyday..
1 where overseas travel would be obligatory business at Tokyo while the other would be a welcomed break for 2 at Maldives..

after all that, the decision is not hard to make at all right? if only life's like a series of multiple choice questions... even if it is, i wonder who'll is score better? Bill Gates or ME?!

smile!

Just back from Nottingham games.. its a annual sports meet in uni of nottingham for malaysians in UK.. disappointed la.. i'm suppose to be playing volleyball.. sigh.. I forgo basketball this year, thinking that i would be selected for volleyball.. but thats not the case.. sigh.. in the end went to notts as a supporter only.. =( SOB! seeing the basketball team playing so well hurts even more.. i've promised myself next year to play basketball and nothing else! i would start training for basketball and be good in it.. hahah (konon) i've been playing football so much that i cant even score a basket.. sigh.. i think i cant jump as high as before, cant run as fast and as long as before.. cant move as swiftly as before.. signs of ageing? or just growing fatter? haha
liwan recently bought a weighing machine and placed it in the kitchen.. and the kitchen is just 5 steps away from my room.. so i've been weighing myself almost everyday.. before and after dinner usually.. haha and my weight is hovering ard 71kg? sometimes after football it can drop till 68.. and after a full dinner can reach 73.5kg.. .scary eh?
been thinking about summer next year already... thinking about internship and such.. and my sister's graduation is in the summer.. so i guess i'll be hanging ard in UK till mid july.. means my effective summer break back in malaysia would be shorten by a month.. sigh.. i guess i would have to find a job in uk for a month then see how later.. but from now till then, i think its best for my to prepare my pathetic CV and see if any company wants a coolie for a couple of months.. haha.. maybe i could offer my manpower for free, then see if they would even consider..
(ps: if u're reading this, and if know of any connections, please do let me know.. due credits would be given.. hehehh )
