Eggsaster!!...haha...i wanted to make hard-boiled eggs for breakfast this morning...ended up wasting 2 eggs...one for good reason of experiment...the other egg is just becos of foolishness and bcos i just woke up...heh... put the eggs in the fridge right...for some reason the eggs a bit stuck to the container...one of them is seriously stuck...but i don noe tht...so i just pick them up ..but cannot...thought i nv use enough strength...then i squeeze and pull a bit more..then CREAK!! and haf of the egg's contents is on my hands.....my instant reaction..."oh F**k !!"...trust me...tht word is quite descriptive of the situation...lucky nv spill on carpet....if not i use more string of colorful words...lucky i alone liao...hhaha...then the other egg..well i actually put 2 eggs into boiling water...and immediately realised its a mistake when i put them into the pot...they cracked!!...can see the lines...so i realised not good to cook hard boiled eggs wif boilign water...ok so tht is learnt..my next problem...how long should i leave them simmering?...well i took one of the eggs out...and open them...and fluids came out...i was like..."could my day start any better??"...so i gave up on the last egg (its laying in a container now, figured i checked it for sunday morning) and went out to buy subs...then i went to library to finish an analysis paper...analysis of a movie...how fun is tht man??...its just great...the psychology lecturer want us to choose a movie related to a topic in the course...
I chose Good Will Hunting...an extremely good movie...especially for anyone for wants to do clinical psychology or counselling as a proffesion in the future...i spent abt 4 hours in the library doing the analysis...just the analysis sia..havent started anything on the paper...planning to do it tmr...

heard of the line "Mind over matter." ?...or even mind over body?...well i kinda feels wad it is like...to put it simply...its a strange feeling...ok let me describe it...when i play bball in spore...i can nv lay-up from the left side wif my body posture correct...buut...now i can do it as easily as laying up from the right..wads the trick?...i hav no clue...it just started during one of the games where i suddenly feel at complete unity wif my body and complete control of my limbs...its an awesome feeling...but heres the funny part...when i want to practice laying up from the left during warm ups...i cant...for some reason i come back to my awkward posture...another example is in one of the scenes in the Last Samurai..its the part where hes already captured and practising to use the japanese sword...for some reason he keep on losing control and obviously the match...so one of his samurai friends told him..."too many minds...mind of people..mind of sword..mind of opponent...too many minds..."...then he continued.."No mind"...yea at first this may sound crazy...but wad hes saying is tht he thought too much abt it...maneuvers..his footwork...body movements etc etc...heh i guess i hav to ask peak-performance experts how to do this...sounds good doesnt it..being mind and body working in one motion...

The movie Good Will Hunting said a lot of stuffs tht kinda bcome stuck and printed permanently on my mind....there r just so many good conversations in the movie...heres one good line...
Matt Damon's character was having problems wif getting close to a girl he likes now bcos he doesnt want her image to be spoiled...bcos now she is perfect..he doesnt want to spoil tht image by knowing her better and see her faults...this is wad robin william's character has to say...
"You're not perfect sport, and let me save you the suspense, this girl you've met she's not perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other. "
tht line is straight away stuck for life in my head once he said it...then there is this other conversation which highlights optimism...this conversation is between robin williams and his friend...
"Do you know what r the odds of winning a lottery?"
"i don noe...wad 4 to 1?"
"No, abt 30 million to 1..."
"...well i still hav a shot.."
isnt tht just remarkable?...his optimism on things is just out of this world.....well enough said...=)...theres a whole lot more lessons of love...life..taking chances...rejection to be seen in the movie...watch it when u get the chance! =)

heh..ok this paragraph here is written abt an hour after i wrote the entry...i was reading my fantasy book when i come across something tht i absolutely cannot hold for another week...ok here goes...Practicality do NOT play a part when it comes to romance issues...hear me out guys (those who..like me...r still amateurs..>_<)...hahaha...seriously...this is the part where im absolutely identical wif the main character of the story...he is completely hopeless when it comes to courting girls..he feels totally vulnerable and goes all weak in the knees when the girl he fell for is *lashing her eyelashes*...he is totally practical when it comes to relationships...hence not knowing whats romantic and whats not....the difference between me and him is his situation....he is already married...buut its kinda mandatory bcos hes a king and the queen is from another country which from past generations its always a custom for the king to marry the princess from tht country...but they do love each other...its just the princess didnt get a chance to be "chased after" by the king..well u get wad i mean by chased after...as in the flowers...the dinners...oh right..the word is courting i tink...hahaha...remember guys...Practicality is the complete opposite way of thinking when it comes to courting.....erm i tink the main ideas are originality...creativity...and the humor charm...well i don noe from the girls' point of view...but this is mine...can be wrong..since im still...well..amateur...but i think im making progress....hehehe...
