Just For Fun

2009-07-05T00:00:00.001+08:00

Sometimes funny events are just meant to be funny. Ain't I funny?

While reading through the Chinese Newspaper few days ago (Yea I'm outdated)
I happen to saw this article which interest me really really much!

According to the source, it says that the picture is given by the police.
Is MacDonald's new layout the main culprit for this loanshark article?
Well well I guess it's just a copy-paste error, because somewhere further in the newspaper there's another featured article which talks about the Garlic Chilli which has been re-introduced back in MacDonalds. So now we know who the culprit was...

The other joke which I happen to came across was while watching this variety show by Jacky, where celebrities were invited to see a chef preparing marvellous meals.
Then one of them said "为什么可乐饼没有可乐?"
Almost immediately he got beat up by the rest and some asked him
"为什么太阳饼没有夹太阳在里面?" and the other sentence I forgot already
But it was really funny to the max hahahahaha xD

Tomorrow's a tough day ahead. Gonna get my engine started :)
GRRR stupid mosquitoes stop biting me!!

Gaming Day

2009-07-04T00:00:00.001+08:00

Days seems to pass by fast when we were all busy!

Aside from normal work, I'm now trying to relax and pamper myself to games :D
Jay and I played GUNZ Online on ijji; Well it was sort of a "historical" moment
I've quitted the game for about 4 years or so because I was sick of it
I played on International GUNZ, and jumped to Korean GUNZ before I left
Now I'm back and found myself in ijji GUNZ! :D

But frankly speaking, it's still boring to me because:
Firstly, I'm starting again from Lvl 1, which restricts me from certain items
Secondly, most of the rare or good items can only be brought with real cash
Despite that, I could say that it's the most successful game that still exists up till today, and I'm proud to see that the game has not lose it's potential players.
It's a pity that I lost my skills, especially my butterfly :O

After GUNZ it was Rabbit vs Sheep on Frozen Throne, with Jie Eng & Kin Seng
The game was indeed fun and interesting, played it several times before too
The only regret was that some heroes are over-powered while some are too weak!!
But as long as you get to choose a hero instead of random, I guess it's fine (:

The night is still young! The adventure shall continue forever and long~

On my way to success!

2009-07-03T00:00:00.001+08:00

It's Friday! ZOMG my WDS Proposal!!! Shit =x

At home I was chionging like mad to get the pictures done, coloured and scanned
During FBIS lesson I was finishing everything and touching up on the points which Ms Faridah had given to me on that day afternoon. Because I really had no time, so I decided to leave my "Goals and Objectives" part as it was (arnd 2 short paragraphs) and proceeded to printing.

It was a long kill at AS school's printer shop, so I went to Library instead
At first everything was going fine, then suddenly the whole process got slower and slower and time is running out. Soon I looked, and panicked. It's 5PM already!

The starting was abrupt, and so was the ending. At around 5.18PM the printer began to print out the vital missing pages of the proposal. I then quickly asked the person to help me bind up. During the process the black cover thing which is suppose to file those papers together flew up and shot the lower part of my lips before landing on the ground. Ouch what an unpleasant experience but thank god it wasn't even pain at all, so after binding's done it was already about 5.25PM. I rush with all my might and strength back to IIT school, took the lift and up to 7th floor! As I came up to meet with Jie Eng, he told me that the locker was full. THen at that moment Mr Andrew Tan came out to collect the files!! :D I handed him my file and he said that he already expected such things to happen. LOL

Now the stress is over. Time for celebration people! =]
Ohhh yeah I've joined IITSC as well!

WDS Proposal

2009-07-02T00:00:00.000+08:00

My WDS Proposal hasn't been touched since the holidays were over.
Again I found myself in the rush situation >_>
Hugging the buddha's leg at the last minute may seem a bad idea
But to me I find it as an advantage as you get that natural "rush" within
And from there you would suddenly think of new ideas which you never have thought you would come up with, and that's exactly what you need to complete your work!

So Jay, Kok Hwee, Jie Eng and I proceeded to the library
We used the system to find our books, but it was a fruitless search
I tried my best and finally found a book which was more of "design" side
But nevertheless it was the pictures which I needed to set up my webpage
Speaking about books I think I've already renewed 3 times liao. Uh oh =x

Deadline's on Friday 5PM. DIE YOU WDS PROPOSAL =P

Art Lesson

2009-07-01T00:00:00.000+08:00

Today I went to the bookshop just to grab a box of colour pencils
Well it can be counted as an investment for my WDS Proposal
Thanks to Jie Eng for sponsoring 1 dollar! You're the best hehe =D
I've also met Xinning inside the store too.

What a long day I had. Goodbye! LOL

Delivery on Hold; Sadded!

2009-06-30T00:00:00.003+08:00

The technician at HP called me up today.
They told me that the motherboard delivery is on hold, and it would take about a week or so for the part to deliver, thus I won't be getting back my laptop till around 11 July where they would deliver it back to my house. I felt a bit disappointed as this was the time when I needed my honey most =/

For now I would have to depend on my house desktop, which I love very much too. I've even gave it a treat by upgrading from XP to Vista again
Everything runs fine now, and I'm sure it would in the future too!
It's been running for the 5th year now, and still counting...
Of course I had send it for repairs before!
Monitor changed. Motherboard Changed. RAM upgraded.
I don't know why, but I feel a sense of achievement and responsibility by investing money on my computer's maintenance.
Nonetheless I would always be using my desktop for games when I'm free
Laptop is solely for school or official works only :D

Just hoping for my laptop to be delivered soon!
Come back fast ok my honey?

Exam Results & TPSU AGM

2009-06-29T00:00:00.000+08:00

It can really kill a person when you receive 2 test results on the same day
One after another; It's just like a silent killer on the loose

The first test result was Web Design.
I already knew I would lose more than 5 points, because of a stupid question
Anyways I'm glad that I scored an A for that subject, 43/50!!!
It was all because of the 3 stupid links structured question >_>

During the test I asked him "What are the 3 links you've stated in here?"
He replied "Did you listen to my lecture? I explained it blablabla..."
I had no choice but to nod my head in hope that he would go away soon
The reason was simple, I doubt people attended his boring lecture -_-

The unexpected error which I made was on the last question
I seriously think that it's the setter's fault for not putting the word "elaborate"
I saw some of my friends wrote "CRAP" concept under design and they got 1 mark more
Anyways I should just be contented that I got the grade which I had now!

After school ended I met up with Taqinah and we headed to lounge to put our bags
Then we were briefed on what to do for the AGM event
In the end my group was splitted last minute because they only needed 6 for reception
So the rest of us were like leftovers; doing jobs that still have spaces left
In the end Shaun, Oliven and a girl (forgot her name) welcomed people at the door
It's really stupid in a way that there's only 4 of us only, but we still had fun doing stupid stuffs to let time fly faster~
Before we left I helped to carry the table back up to the 4th floor
It's like so heavy because THEY like pretend to hold the table lor!
Shaun and XL lol. Wa heavy like siao man when climbing up the stairs =x

The day ended fast as well.
Taqinah and I left early because we're both tired
Anyways the experience was great, and I saw many Reliez and Tunyth peeps too :)

Laptop Service

2009-06-27T22:41:00.000+08:00

Awesome tunnel eh?

Today I had to go all the way to HP Service Centre to send my laptop for servicing. I guess it should be BIOS problem which must be fixed by a technician. Apparently re-formatting the laptop doesn't solve the problem.

Luckily all these is included under warranty, so no worries on money!
Getting my baby back in around 3 working days =D
I miss it so much <3

Sick of workload!

2009-06-26T23:49:00.001+08:00

Freaking busy these few weeks!! =(

CMATHS Enrichment Talk was boring as hell. I didn't learn anything!
I even took a taxi to rush down for it. What a waste of money -_-
CMSK Workshop was very very lengthy. 3 hours in total!
I really admire the speaker who managed to talk for so long...
Speaking there for about 3 hours was tough man!
I think I slept for about an hour or so. Too tired from last night's work
I find the dining etiqutte very useful to me in the future =P

FBIS presentation was like a killer to most of us
Everything we did was RUSH, RUSH, RUSH!
I stayed awake till about 2-4am every single day in that week
But nothing productive was done and I'm out of ideas to write about
On that day itself I didn't even have time to prepare my script
So I just used my proposal instead and say whatever that's written there
My group's presentation is arranged at the last.

That's where all the hard questions starts to pop up!
I regretted that I didn't answer the question Ms Lim asked properly!
It's like "Disney cartoons are more popular than Hello Kitties.
What are you going to do about it?"
Feeling nervous I just randomly blurted out doing survey to find what the customers prefer and then we would use that cartoon instead of Hello Kitty.
But my desired answer would be giving away something useful such as thumbdrive, or maybe choose cartoons like Pokemon, Powerpuff Girls, Batman, Superman etc.
It's like there's so many cartoons that exists in this world!
Gonna kill myself for not thinking about that on the spot ><

Phew it's time for a break during the weekend which I OUGHT to get now. But this is just the first blow. Final blow coming in next next Thursday!

Ohayo Gozaimasu!

2009-06-25T04:05:00.003+08:00

It's 4:05AM in the morning and I'm still awake =]

Lesson tomorrow at 9AM. GOSH =X

Projects Are Frustrating!

2009-06-23T22:42:00.003+08:00

Seems like we do have many assignments and projects to be completed and submitted within the next 2 weeks! Now I'm starting to regret that I've never treasured by 2 weeks long holiday!!!

My group and I were so stressed by the FBIS presentation which is on this Friday. My brain just can't take in too much theory =( Of course we had the urge to play some warcraft games, but we just had to resist that temptation for this week though =/

Today's CARC Tutorial Lesson was great! We had a female relieve teacher :D
Although she talks in a cheam way but at least I am able to understand what she is teaching at the end of the day. Gosh how I wish we could just have her as our CARC tutor teacher forever~

Another sad news is that the CARC teacher's gonna be away for about a week or so, which means that another CARC lecturer would be taking over him. I wish that the entertainment level during the lecture could be kept so as to keep me awake and focused =P

There's so many events coming up these days...
Stress Management Talk, CMSK Workshop, CMATHS Talk, Freshman Adventure Learning Programme and god knows what's next on the list!

Gotta rush my FBIS now. BUAISSZZZZZZZZ =D
Must come back soon WOR!

TPSU Subcomm Camp!

2009-06-23T21:56:00.011+08:00

On a great friday evening, we gathered for the one and only tnglish class!!! All of us were wearing shirts of different colours which signifies our group. Felicia was blue, Taqinah and Chloe were Yellow, and I'm GREEN :D After the registration, I'm allocated to TUNYTH class!
Mmm sounds like a vegetable (turnip or tunip...)
Our HOD was ELLA =D *hey hey.. under my umbrella*
As I was putting down my bag in the room I saw the principal aka BEN!

In my Tunyth class I met up with some of RELIEZ peeps XL & June!
I also saw Bryan Freeman and Charles while at the registration booth
I had to admit that I was really shy because I knew no one in my class
Thanks to June for talking to me at the first place!
Otherwise I would be so emo and awkward starring into the blank space
During the camp I've also met a lot of new people who were great!
The only thing which troubles me was the names of my classmates =x
In conclusion, Day 1 was more of an exploration day for me.
I had a chat with Oliven and Shaun before I went back to sleep.

Day 2 arrived with wet games being planned for us.
As we reached Ella's station, everyone was listening to her attentively
And voala we felt a sudden wave of water splashed at us from the top -_-
Other wet games were fun to play as well, like the last station where we have to put a waterbomb between 2 people and transport it safely to the other end and during the process we have to do task like push up, incline etc.

After a day of wet games and being wet, we went to sit and relax at Mensa 2 for lunch. By then we were already quite restless and I definitely missed my sleep haha! Later parts of the camp covers TP Mass Dance, School Song and Handsign Song

At the end of the camp I was pretty upset because to me I felt like the camp has just started =( The only regret I hold was that I didn't open myself much to others only until when the camp is about to end soon -_- Hope that I could perhaps improve on that next time!

Shopping Spree!

2009-06-18T00:30:00.002+08:00

My sis, her friend Keith and I went to town and shop today :D
It's been hell long since I've last went for a shopping spree!!!
Almost all the items in the shops were having great discount due to GSS!

Of course I've bagged a great deal of goodies back home.
And wooopies! I finally brought a new bag baby xD
As we went pass Topman and I saw this green batman t-shirt,
It's so damn nice and cute lar! But it's about 40+ bah~
Considering to buy it next time xD

I'm feeling so happy cuz I finally get the things I wished for!
Tomorrow's DPA Amazing Race!!! Hope it will be fun with dearest T01s =P

Just for Laughters

2009-06-14T01:53:00.004+08:00

Today I went to Somerset to support Larry and Taqinah for the Nuffnang Pyjamas Flash Mob event, together with Rui Xue as well.
As we were walking to the venue Taqinah (who dressed so brightly haha!) was harassed by a handsome waiter who's promoting the restaurant's food. Rui Xue laughed so loud and the men ask her why she laughing... And he's like pestering Taqinah until traffic light before he told us "Eh don't cross the red light." Then we burst out laughing and continued crossing the road, and that's when he stopped following us haha, cuz we really didn't even care about the traffic light haha. *horns from cars*

The event started fast and ended fast as well.
It's like mad chaos and then the staff there ZI HIGH haha
Everything ended in like 3 min or so.
Larry and Taqinah didn't get to strip =x
Could see quite a lot of disappointed face because the event was like zzz

Actually we wanted to go for Great Singapore Sales at nearby shopping malls, but Taqinah have to go home for her sister's engagement thingy, so we all went home instead -_-

Night time was spent chatting with T01s and playing game :D
Played DOTA with Kean + some host against 3 other people
They were like saying "Noob lar, u so lousy" and all that stuff
At the start they manage to pwn us I got nothing to say
But when late game it's our turn to pwn them lol!
Then they leave 1 by 1. Dotzzz
And OMG for 30 minutes...
I managed to survive the Jurassic Park map thanks to tips from Kean!

I went to surf around the web, and found some interesting websites as well!

Funny joke about sex from kid's point of view!
How many underwear do you need (Note: Racist xD)
If condoms had sponsors

Go read them for some laughter!!! :D

Second Update

2009-06-12T00:56:00.007+08:00

Alrites second update for my blog today!

I went to check for updates today, Microsoft released quite a number of security patches, especially to Office 2007, so do download them today (:

I've also taken part in the HP - Power To Change event.
I think that it's time for me to play a part and save the environment
Gosh I hate those moodswing weathers these days -_-
And the haze from Indonesia and Malaysia which are floating here soon!

Now I shall talk about HP customer support!
1 word to describe: Horrendous
I trust the brand because of it's long reputation, but I did not expect that the pitfall for this company's product was on customer support. It's so poor that no staffs would reply to your help requests and if you call them they would re-direct you freely to even overseas, which at the end of the day, produces nothing but disappointment. I wonder how they achieve their customer service award though :(

Now my recommendation would either be Lenovo or Dell =P

Another thing to mention was SCHOOL FEES!
Actually more focused on DPA FEES!!!!!!
The situation is "Each DPA students must pay $150 for the PPP which will be held from February to April"
First of all, I've already paid the $150 using CASH on January.
This is well-proven by the first tax invoice they sent me:

About a week later, they sent me this:

WTFOMG They double-charged ME!!!
How could such simple things go wrong, in such a big institute?
I wonder if other DPA students received the letter too...
I just find that it's unfair and it's so ridiculous.
Of course I'm going to get that money back by complaining to the staffs!

That's all I'm gonna post for today.

PC Show 2009

2009-06-11T21:53:00.009+08:00

Andrew, Joel and I went to PC Fair at Suntec today.
Don't see much crowd there as compared to the IT Show
Perhaps it's just the first day, or due to economy recession...
We went to Macs for breakfast/lunch. It gets more crowded after we went in.
They gave us a CHARCOAL colour coca-cola cup each haha
Haiya just use black or grey colour lar! Charcoal lmao!
Then as we walk past this host from inSing.com, he was like saying
Don't stand too near or you will be chaotah like me. *blinks*

Anyway the number of items up on display was about the same as IT Show
With the exception of new products, especially phones like LG Arena and N97
Walked past the Mac Booth, it was and is still sexy in that large monitor screen ;)

After that we walked around Marina Square, then back to Suntec again
Doing some window shopping, but none seems to be appealing or attracting =/
As if all the good designers had ended their career =x
And that 4 hours plus walking/shopping was tiring! My legs are aching!
But still I got a greater exposure to the fashion nowadays (:

After returning back from the trip, I used the internet as usual.
Facebook is seriously lagging big time. I hope it doesn't end up like Friendster.

Tomorrow's Amazing Race briefing at school, and apparently none of T01s are going =x

Argh I'm so tired right now~
*Grabbing my favourite bolster which I hugged everyday*

A few days ago...

While eating my father's leftover Hor Fun:

Looking out of my room:

Reading the newspaper:

An unfriendly visit:

The mess on my table:

And oh yea baby I'm in TPSU Sub-Comm, Taqinah as well! =D
In my class also got Daniel Oliven, Shaun and Emilie :P
But walao T01 only have Hwee Min and Felicia! ><
I mean it's OUR big dream... Don't worry we will pull you guys in if given the chance!
Miss you all T01s so much xD We're still 1 big family with 1 spirit.
Cya all soon in DPA Amazing Race! Don't be upset ok? We're still us :D

Awesome Tool

2009-06-06T03:40:00.000+08:00

It actually sets Windows Live Mail to associate with mailto: links
Now email-ing online is simple and best of all the link works :D

Check it out (For Vista Only):

Term Break!

2009-06-05T13:58:00.002+08:00

Finally it's time to rock'n'roll! Term Break!!!
All the stress had seem to fade away at a fast pace
Gaming is like an essential component of holidays!
I've tried Left 4 Dead, and it's like holy shit when you blast
your volume and the zombies jump or suddenly appear in front of me
Especially the witch; not a good bitch to mess with lol!

The class hosted badminton session on Wednesday
But I didn't went because Jay, Jie Eng and Zheng Hong all not going
On Thursday it's suppose to be movies, but I didn't go also
Because it's Night At The Museum 2 and I've watched before already
So on this fine Thursday I went back to my secondary school
To go collect the school magazine which is like shit because they
never include those nice pictures for graduating classes. Pointless!
After that I went along with my past platoon mates to Lower Pierce Reservoir for nightwalk with juniors, and watching the performance of future leaders.
The nightwalk was dry and boring to me; partly because I've been through
this before during Secondary 2.
The nightwalk is just about walking through the reservoir at night,
passing though checkpoints which does nothing but to control traffic
and monitor the group's situation. No tasks = No fun
How should I say it in another way....
It's like taking a walk at the park below my house at night. Rofl
Nevertheless it's a new experience for Part As I think
Last time when we were Part A it wasn't so easy
We have to walk around Palau Ubin starting mid-night
(THIS IS WHAT I CALL NIGHT WALK)
We go around finding clues in the dark, and it's really dark btw
We walk past unknown paths, past by NPCC camp, encounters with wild boars
It's like so adventurous as compared to nowaday's Night Walk
However there's a bad point which is it's too tiring =x
Other than that I have no regrets going for Night Walk at Ubin

Today there would be CO Night as usual on Day 2.
I won't be going because to me it's like the same things again
Nothing have changed much, thus nothing to expect or be surprised of

How I wish holidays could be longer
So that I can sleep longer and slack my way through holidays
But gosh there's still projects to be completed >_>
LOLS.

Exams Coming!

2009-05-31T16:14:00.000+08:00

Term Test is coming tomorrow!
Time is like going so fast for me.
I'm hoping to achieve good grades for my subjects
Cause ultimately my goal is university :D
Studying can be both bored and yet interesting for me
Out of the boredom of reading endless lines of words
I've actually learned many things and this broadens up my mind
So studying = Good for you :)

Work hard everyone! Never give up when you haven't even attempted
This is just the first stepping stone to success!
Ganbatte! Jiayous! xD

Next is school life...
Our CARC teacher has apparently not changed very much.
Although he's much more punctual, but he's face was apparently blacker
So black that it can perhaps blend together with ink
His speed of doing things was still very fast, to me
Then after the lesson we wanted to ask him about the project
When I asked "So the project just need to include ...,... and ... right?"
He replied "It's too late to ask this question now"
At that moment I was like WTF CCB ask you to double check only right!
I immediately rebutted back that I was just asking him to check only
Then he was like "Umm.. hmm.. OK... Yah..."
Lousiest horrendous tutor ever I swear!!! Hmph! :(

Alright shall stop my rantings for now.
Shall continue to write about his stories if the saga continues...

Exam Week

2009-05-26T20:40:00.005+08:00

Term Tests coming up on Monday and Tuesday
WDS and CARC proposal to be submitted by Thursday
Followed by FBIS proposal by Friday
Somehow it seems like madness but still I have to cope with it ><

Went to watch Night at the Museum 2 with Amos, Quintin and Samz
The movie was awesome and hilarious, with even more jokes and entertainment
An adventure not to be missed in the theatres! =D

CMSK role-play was sort of like screwed up
Because we only memorise the finalised script the day before
Then all speak so soft one. Never eat food also!
Only I eating lor, so paiseh. Then after the play...
All come up and snatch our food -_-

Today's PRSP lesson I was quite lost
Since I missed 3 lectures and I didn't read up on my own
Then I met Joey at ITAS during our break (:

WDS Lecture was even worse I swear!
The lecturer is reading everything from the slides
Wa lao eh we not blind lar >< It's almost word-for-word lor
After attending the 2nd WDS lecture I never went for WDS lectures anymore
If you teach us like that then I might as well go home read up on my own
And that's the same case up till now (Week 6 already!!!)

Later in the evening Yuki and I went for TPSU interview
Taqinah wait for us at the lounge staring into *blank* space
Then keep saying parents come need go home liao -_-
Syam met me while I was at ITAS eating (:
After that we met with Larry, talked about school problems
FBI was not as good as I thought in terms of STAFF, not students
Surprising eh? That's why there are always good and lousy teachers
Then GET so relax, like everyday play game can pass liao haha
So stress man. 3 proposals and 4 tests in the next 5 days excl weekends

When I open the mailbox I saw Microsoft's Mail
So hard to open, like glue free one haha
Then the certificate looks so cool and professional!
I can sense the same certificate sent to me again in another 2 weeks time
LOL

Restaurant City was another game to play with while I'm bored
So glad that I hit the 50.0 popularity =)

Alrights shall get back to my work
Freedom shall be rewarded next Wednesday ;)

Bad Day At School

2009-05-22T14:05:00.005+08:00

Term Test coming next week, with 3 proposals yet to be done -_-

Today at school I'm damn pissed off
Because the WDS Tutor was like teaching so fast
As if we all knew what to do already
And whatever she do is different from the lab sheets
Because I'm late so I missed the previous part
But soon I caught up with the rest of the class
Then I'm lost again!
If you think we know what to do, then we don't need you to teach us
Want teach then teach properly lar.
You do at lightning speed until so unhappy
You think we happy also meh?
Damn fuck lar I just Alt F4 and play my games liao
Because you don't even care about me at all
Don't even bother to see what I'm doing also
Even when asking the class questions
You ask everyone except me
What the fuck is this biasness man.

Another teacher whom make me piss off is the CARC Tutor
Attend the lab lessons must have lab sheets
But guess what? We wrote nothing on it!
You also go so damn fast, speak like bullet train
Again....
If you think we know what to do, then we don't need you to teach us
I wonder how many times must I repeat that sentence -_-
First of all, you are late never mind
Then you still slowly take your time and teach so fast
For what? To leave the class early lor!
Come late, go early. What a great tutor you are!
Then during Tutorial I can still remember clearly that you told us
F = 15
FF = XXX (some numbers)
FFF = XXXX (some numbers)
What the hell is that? You didn't teach us at all
And you expect us to learn that already
How are we going to learn in the first place
when we don't even know what those bullshit numbers are for!
OK it's Binary codes but I don't think we learn that YET.

Ok I may be complaining too much, but that's just my views
I just find that the tutors are not doing their jobs
And I'm so unhappy about it because this affects our studies
And now we are building up our foundation right?
If we get the foundations wrong then I don't think we need to
learn new things anymore. It's just a waste of time.
Seriously, how I wish I could change these tutors to someone else

Must Watch

Boys Over Flowers starting today!!!
9.15-11PM at Channel U =)

Long Tiring Week

2009-05-15T19:55:00.014+08:00

It's been a long week for me these days
I'm very disappointed with myself because of a stupid mistake I've made
All my effort for about 1 week had gone to drain
Due to my natural tendency to double-check if everything's correct
But I ended up making a foolish mistake by not following the instruction
Because it says compare Doc1 and Doc2 (Accept all default settings)
But my stubborn fingers went to press Options and changed it from show changes in a new document to show changes in the original document.
Oh gosh how I wish I could re-do it again if I knew about it!

Why I felt this is the worst mistake ever is because it's such a simple question and yet I got it wrong. Btw when 1 question is wrong for Microsoft Word I could say goodbye to first 3 placing already. What made me more sad was that I was the 2nd person to finish out of the 5, and because of my mistake now my ranking is dunno how far away~ Btw the one who completed before me also got 1 mistake. We were damn disappointed ok... We got the speed but we commit some stupid minor mistake at such crucial stage =x Otherwise I can be 1st liao...

My 2 classmates got at least 2nd and 3rd.
Conratz to Zheng Hong and Daniel! =D
I wonder how I'm going to face my class -_-
Nevertheless, the experience still matters!
And I'm gonna join again next year no matter what happens.

Sadded. Sobs Sobs.

Then while preparing for the test I got affected mentally as some of my classmates treat me as an enemy and began to do irritating things to me. Well, of course I felt sad as it was happening to me like the day before the competition, and maybe even at the start of knowing me. I may talk to you because I want to repair the friendship with you, but the damage you dealt to me will never be erased off my mind. I know who you are, so are you. And it's not like 1 person only -_- Whatever the case is, I'm not in the mood to deal with you all.
Go ahead and laugh out loud that I lost.
Go ahead and say that I'm such a loser.
I don't give a damn even if you're reading my blog now,
Please just fuck off at this fucking moment
Because my blog don't welcome you at all
And please stop copying me! Get some originality please!
_______________________________________________________________

Listening to The Climb by Miley Cyrus now
I guess it's a perfect song for me to listen right now =/
Just gonna share the lyrics below:

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

Lost in Busy Streets

2009-05-13T00:45:00.003+08:00

Oh well I guess I'm pretty busy this week!
DPAIG Interview went fine I guess; I did not prepare beforehand
I find that it's better to just hear the questions and answer them naturally instead of squeezing every single content you've memorized before the interview begins.

Today was somehow surprising as I never went for any lessons at all
Kinda pointless for me to bring books, lecture notes and stuffs
But again, it's a surprise, so yea I totally didn't expect it
Leave of Absence granted from Tuesday to Friday. Hurray!
And if the time ain't wrong, it says LOA ends at Fri, 23:59PM
Rofl

After school there's supposedly a training for Debate
However Kean and I skipped it due to certain reasons. Ar har!
Then we met up with Larry at the Library where we slack around
Had much fun with them! Too bad Taqinah and Rui Xue went back home early

Oh yea the fantastic artwork by our Kean Gundam:

Isn't it awesome? =D

Okok let's see...
Sunday going to Sentosa with Quintin, Samzy, Gerwyn and maybe Amos
Let's get the beachy party started baby!

Signing Off~
Zach

Fantastic Friday

2009-05-08T00:00:00.000+08:00

Today's Friday, and we went back to school specially for FBIS Lab.
To do what? Fold paper... Like origami lesson haha
Fold aeroplane, box, sampan and boat
Of course our financial literacy skills are put to the test
And our awesome team did greatly, am I right? Awesome!

It may sound boring and simple but we did enjoyed ourselves
there throughout the 2 hours =D

Buzzzz

2009-05-06T23:44:00.003+08:00

Recent days had been busy like hell
I have no idea why I'm always occupied also.

Haven't been posting for the past 3 days
And so many things actually happened
And new knowledge and experience gained along the way
Life's a long road to go, don't give up that easily =D

Anyway today was MOS Preliminary Round
Microsoft Word was relatively alright
The questions aren't really that tough
Microsoft Excel was a killer, for most of us
The test duration was 50 minutes long
But most of us either run out of time or rush crazily like me
So I ended the test with 8 seconds left. Phew!
RESULT: FAIL zzz
I have to admit that it was really hard for Excel =(

Working harder now for a position in the university =P

Homeday

2009-05-03T18:36:00.007+08:00

I spent my entire day at home today as usual
The weather was like so damn hot, with no wind at all
Reformatted my laptop again for the 2nd time
Cuz the loading bar was going like 26 times before it loads
Even after tweaking and disabling unnecessary services
But now it's like 7 times only! Awesome~
This also means I have to go configure TP Wireless again -_-

Larry got the second pair of tickets to Star Trek!
Wooo so now there's 4 tickets. And Rui Xue's not going
because she got something on that day. We excluder sia ><
So left Taqinah, Larry, Kean and ME of course!

Lesson's starting tomorrow, and seriously I did nothing at all for the past 2 weeks. And looking at the way my classmates chiong made me jealous. I wanna go off to study later. I don't wanna lose to them! >.<

And MOS is this freaking Wednesday
I'm only left with Monday to train up on Word
And Tuesday to train up on Excel before the preliminary round starts
I can sense LOA coming~ xD

Tomorrow need to bring thermometer. That's the sms which I received from my friends. Reminds me of those days back in the past.

My awesomeness shall stop here. Cya all in school real soon =]

PS. Wondering if it's a trend now to make others kiss me or hit me with a pillow in Facebook applications -_-

Sporty

2009-05-02T00:00:00.006+08:00

Archery Trial going on this morning at 10.30am
It was great to be with my friends again;
Larry, Kean, Jonathan, Jay, Rui Bin & Gerard
Before we could even shoot, we had to do PT, which was urgh...
They told us that we need quite a lot of commitment
And it really meant A LOT! I still have so many other CCAs man
Then we still had to buy the arrows, which cost 100+ for a dozen
Oh gosh I rather spend my money on something like fooooooood!!!

So I just went there and shoot casually
And realized that I'm SO not talented in this Archery thingy
1 arrow shot the grass, 1 arrow went over the board
The other arrows landed on either the white or black spot
That's how awesome my archery was =D

After that I went to eat at KFC with Gerard
Rushed back to school for Debate thing which Larry & Kean were in
Honestly speaking, we went there for the free lunch only!
Got pizza and drinks. We took 2 big bottles of drinks
And many many delicious pizza which were really filling

Refreshment's over and here comes the orientation thing again
Where we played games like Adventure Hunt blablabla
So freaking sad that our team didn't win first
Thanks to the team in front of us who completed so slowly
Like turtle sia! Every station we go we have to wait for them
Sian diaoz~

Took 23 with Kean, and Larry!
We chat, gossip and say about anything regarding school life
And we share all our r***** jokes before we left home xD
It was damn funny man haha. U guys rock!

FRI-DAY

2009-05-01T00:00:00.003+08:00

Labour day has arrived!
Seems like everyone's working pretty hard these days...

There's supposedly a class outing at East Coast Park today
But all I could say was that our class ain't that united after all
It was horrific just judging by the number of people who attended!
Emilie, Ann Wei, Joel, Jie Eng and I
What a great class outing ain't it? ;)

Anyways I learned how to roller-blade that day
It was my first time attempting this because I'm more used to cycling
I can't really blade on the road yet, but on the sand, yes...
Cause my leg tends to blade backwards =x
Despite that, the process and experience I gained was awesome!!!

I met Hui Xuan and her bf too outside the bicycle rental shop
At first I thought I saw wrong person, opps ><
I brought an ice cream to eat while cycling. Mmmm yummy!

I had my dinner at the hawker centre near Parkway Parade
with the rest before I head back home =)

Happy Moments

2009-04-30T00:35:00.005+08:00

Happy Birthday to Jessica & Larry!
Stay young forever and be as cheerful as always (:

T01 finally get to re-unite together this afternoon outside the sports complex! But sadly not everyone was present there due to labs/tutorials.

Felicia, Joey and I went to Cheers to buy our lunch. As we walk there we chat/gossip about school life as usual, and how much we miss everyone. Oh gosh I really wanted those days back, and regretted my complacency back then.

When we came back from Cheers, Kelly was asking me to sit beside this person
who was wearing bright green colour. I was going to ask who he/she is lar
then the persson turn to look at me. Oh my god it's Heather LOL!!!

We sang the birthday song for Jess while Damian was on his way down.
I'm sorry Damian they all sang the song before you reached!
At about 1.50pm I headed back to IIT school for PRSP lecture.

"CMSK lesson postponed because the teacher is not feeling well."

YEAH YEAH
As usual this kind of news spread like wildfire, since it's 2 hrs long.
From 3-5pm it was super boring because we don't know what to do
We hang around the empty labs and play online games... BORING!!!

During CMATHS1 lecture we didn't do much either.
The teacher keep starring at me lor, as if I committed a sin like that.
Then I notice that my classmates are all chiongsters
They are already at Tutorial 5 while I'm still at Tutorial 1?!?
I feel damn stress man, everyone so hardworking except me
And the lesson gets harder and harder with English+Maths Combo
Like tautology, contradiction etc. ZOMG I'm gonna be so dead.

After the lesson it was celebration time for Larry's birthday!
Acutally we planned a lot of things for him, but due to timing problems we didn't really achieve our aims today. But still everything comes with a backup right? ;)

It was so fun playing heart attack in the project room, with aircon!
Then we went to one of the tables at ~~ASS concourse~~
Opps! I meant AS School's concourse. What you all thinking lols.
We sang the birthday song and put up surprises for him.
Smashing of cake on his face failed terribly,
so we proceeded with other plans...
We blindfold him and made him enter the female toilet
But of course the toilet had the usual heavenly scent/stench
So he force himself out and sat on the floor at the concourse
Taqinah and I just fill up our bottles and pour it all over him
Well, he chose the wet option, so there's nth we can do about it right?

Later on we hang around KFC, treated Larry to Cheese Fries with Chilli
Then we sang a super-duper loud birthday song for him
Others around us sang along as well. It's so cool man!
Then we hang around the neighbourhood & fitness corner to slack
We invented our own PIG mass dance and we have plans to dominate the school So watch out for us OK? Heheheheh lols can't imagine our faces appearing on the banners hanging on the bridge towards school, the IIT school pillars... AWESOME!

I really enjoyed myself very much today even though it's not my birthday today :D

Tomorrow's gonna be a long day in hell.
Meeting Kean in the morning tomorrow as usual :D

Hyperness

2009-04-29T00:06:00.004+08:00

I'm feeling so high today lol!
Partly because there's only 2 lesson today
And I had a fun time with Larry, Kean and Rui Xue. (Taqinah gone~)
We talk, joke and laugh like nobody's business at the library
Then we go Mensa eat. Chicken chop for me as usual~
Later on we visited the bookshop. That's when a whole lot of
fun and nonsense came out from us. Hahaha very funny man!
Then we slacked at our usual spot before we left home.
I'm losing words to type today cuz I'm tired.

But still...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SYAM, LARRY & JESSICA!!!
LOVES YOU ALL <3

Gd nites!
Off you go~

Restless Day

2009-04-27T22:41:00.007+08:00

Everything was in a fast-foward pace today.
Rushed to school with Kean, print stuffs, meet Taqinah,
breakfast in 5 mins, complete WDS homework during CMATHS1 lecture...
Give me a break please! =x

Over here in the lecture hall things seem a little gloomy today
The projector failed to work, and we were asked to shift to LT2
And during this whole process, 30 minutes of lecture time was wasted =/
WDS Tutorial swept past like a wind; time passes fast inside the room
FBIS lab was awesome, with the mass chat at Windows Live Messenger
As the lesson is about to end, the power supply tripped! =x
The lights, aircon and all that still worked, thankfully.
But the power supply for our laptop adaptor/charger is gone~
Must be me again lar, generate too much heat already. Heheh =D

Spent my lunch time with my classmates at Mensa.
Salad Bar's queue was way too long, so I tried Kway Chap instead.
Mensa was like an oven as well; gosh what's wrong with the weather?
Or was it just me?

After lunch, Zheng Hong and I proceed to the MOS venue
I was disappointed because I keep forgetting how to do certain things in MS Word, especially the letter and formatting part.
I actually scored 0% for that! That's so hilarious man...
But overall I'm still satisfied because I scored 822/1000!
Though more improvements need to be done.
Tomorrow's MOS for Excel. I am so dead for that.
As far as I know I am a goner for Excel, I need tips for every question =/

At 6pm, Jay, Jie Eng & friend and I went towards the sports complex
It was suppose to be a badminton trial/selection...
But there's so many people, and the way they play were so pro!
We watched them for a while before we left;
it was pointless for us to stay
I mean like so many people are watching, and my skills are horible
Why should I go malu and show the unglam side of myself right? =D

Reached home at about 8PM. I'm dead-beat by now.
Still wondering what message Kean and Larry were trying to say
I shall figure it out tomorrow =/
Let's meet after school ok? ;)

And OMG Boys Before Flowers IS SHOWING ON CHANNEL U FROM MAY ONWARDS! MUST WATCH OK PEOPLE? =D

Bored

2009-04-26T22:45:00.005+08:00

Today I spent my entire day at home. Bored...
I enjoyed doing the quiz on Facebook; somehow it's interesting
Tomorrow's lectures and tutorials again. How sad could it get?
Then later in the evening there's badminton selection at Sports Complex
I'm starting to worry about whether I'm up for it or not -_-
Archery's trial is on saturday at 10.30AM, so early!
What's more we have to pay $2 somemore.
If a CCA requires money during it's training, I would rather not join it.

Now I'm wondering how people carry so little things to school
Everyday I notice people carrying weight-free bags around
Oh gosh they made me so super-duper jealous...
I mean like there's lecture,tutorial and lab notes
And also the laptop which weighs like a bomb
Argh life seems unfair because I think my bag is the heaviest.
Even though I tried to bring lesser stuffs. Zzz

Tomorrow morning with friends again at 8AM?!?
So early lar, but anyway just go lor since we don't meet often
Then on Wednesday there's gonna be a surprise for someone :D

Signing Off!
Zach

Lost of Words

2009-04-24T00:00:00.013+08:00

There seems so many things to post about, but I'm just lazy to note them down.
Lessons in school were kinda sad to me, it's so much longer as compared to other IT courses and other schools as well!
I enjoyed playing around with Alice. Wait! That sounds so wrong lol.
Alice is a programme which is related to programming for beginners =D
Then still got WDS, CMATHS1, EIC, CARC, APEL, FBIS and PRSP.

For CCA I went to sign up for badminton and archery.
Same choice as both Jie Eng and Jay.
Just hoping that I would get into either one of them.
IITSC as well! I wanna be in the main comm if I'm joining lar =P

PIG meeting held as usual, then we talk about this new stalker, a girl
She keeps track of Larry and Kean (luckily Taqinah nvr give my number)
It's so gross lar, handphone dating haha!
That's if you know what I mean...

So many familiar faces I've seen these days...
Jessica, Hwee Min, Tim Teoh, Heather, Syam and many others
I also saw my secondary school mates, Keith and Leroy =D
Btw I saw Keith's brother outside the library a few days back too!

In the afternoon I went to meet up with Kean, Larry and their friends at the library. All the laptops were up on the table. Laptop sales anyone?
Haha. No lar they were all playing DOTA in the project room. Hardworking eh?

Halfway through the fire alarm rang like nobody's business (So freaking loud lar when outside!) We were told to evacuate the library, and apparently most of us were reluctant to do so =/ We wander about the school until we were allowed to go back into the buildings.

Later at night there was a parents seminar for IIT students.
Larry, Kean and ate the food at the buffet while the parents were still inside. We a bit shameless lar haha just take as many as we could, still got second, third serving somemore lols! Aiya free dinner just eat lor. Come Makan!

One of our favourites was the fried dumplings!

A snapshot at the Archery Booth before we left home.

Haiz lost of words to say. Visit my awesome blog again!
Oh gosh I'm typing the same things again.
Wadever...

Walalalups

2009-04-22T23:26:00.009+08:00

School starts at 2PM for me today! So good right? (:
But I still went to school at 11AM to do the MOS in preparation for the selection which is going to be held some time next week I guess. I just wanna get in some competition!!! =D

At 12.30pm we went to walk around the CCA fair at the heart of TP.
It was really crowded there, have to push myself in order to get through the stationary crowd. Halfway through I get to meet up with Jessica and Heather! =P

Lectures were again making me sleepy today.
And I can't stop my bloody cough! Especially in aircon rooms.
The Etiquette tutorial was sort of wierd, due to some reasons which I shall not write here =x It's not me who is wierd OK lol...
The lessons ended with a CMaths lecture, which I "hate" it because it's so complex just by looking at it, but I will still try to find some way to interact well with my dearest maths^^

After the lessons I went to meet up with PIG again at the business lab in Block 6. Taqinah and Rui Xue printed their lecture notes with the help of my stack of papers, which costs them $2.25 =O Accept money from both of you also very paiseh... Then Kean, Larry and I played DOTA under our newly created P.I.G. Wireless Internet Network, haha so cool man!!

Later on I saw Marcus, Alif, Bryan and some unknown guy at the bus stop. While on the bus Kean and I discussed about IIT-DPA chalet :D
I ate a bowl of prawn noodles at the coffeeshop there before bading goodbye to Kean at the MRT and headed back to home!
Study, Study, More Work =[

Oh WTF a tornado is coming to Singapore lol!
Wassup with the super uber strong wind man. My room windows opened by themselves! Then all the dust fly into my house. I look at my neighbours, they look back at me. My parents came back home and thought that our house has been deserted for 10 years (lol so exaggerating) But still it was my first time experiencing such huge gush of wind for about 5 minutes in Singapore, cool sia =D

First School Day with C220

2009-04-20T23:43:00.005+08:00

First official day with my class, and we were drowned with 3 lectures =/
It's not that I'm tired or the lecturer ain't putting in any effort, it's just that as the lesson goes on I lost my interest and focus, which soon puts me into my sweet dreams as usual =P But I'm expecting more of these to come, so it's perhaps time for me to grab some Chicken Essence, Bird Nest etc. (If only I could afford such good nourishing food products...)

I ate both my breakfast and lunch at ITAS. Freshies still calls it Flavours though. Then as we eat breakfast we met Rui Xue's classmate, Gavin!^^
Taqinah and Larry began their *er hem* talks across the table again early in the morning while the rest was having breakfast (Rui Xue, Gavin, Jonathan and I), but never mind lar we join in the talk as well hehehe xD

The crowd and queue there during lunch time was average bah, but got air conditioner can already~

Later on all the PIG members were like waiting for me at the mushiee from 4-5PM because I'm like the only one with this lecture held at this time. A bit paiseh sia, but thanks for the wait :D We slacked around the armpit place to play games again before we left.

Recovery Day

2009-04-19T00:00:00.002+08:00

So I haven't been online for the past few days because I'm sick.
Irritating fever made me tired like a zombie; temperature rose up to 38.9°C.

To tell you all frankly, the waiting in the sports complex (for mass dance people) was untolerable as it was really hot, leaders never fan us also! The worst came to light when we went out to the field to perform mass dance, just for those who were interested to see. All I have to say is, I'm the core of the heat! No lar joking -_- Aiya my temperature must have shot up to at least 39-40°C while at the field lar, roasting Zach dancing unglam lar haha =x In the end after mass dance I gave up and call for leader (Farhanah) to help liao, buuuii ttaaahhh haaannn ar!!! Then I went inside LT to rest & sleep, along with Daniel and another guy. Missed out the fun in Regatta did I? O.o

After that I still go eat KFC Ultimate Value Meal with PIG members at night even though they all knew about my half-recovering fever. Everything UP Taqinah haha! I must be crazy to do eat fried food while having fever lol, but then the chicken inside the box right, I have the biggest sia! Too bad no appetite that day, so just eat a bit then throw away. Then Rui Xue begin the under-table dating thing while Taqinah started the *BLANK* emotion to her lmao.

After going home my fever rose back again (argh who ask me go eat...), ate panadol and slept as usual before going for the chinese physician the next day. At first I thought the chinese medicine useless lar, but surprisingly after I woke up the next morning, I found myself back to normal again, so happy lar! Celebration sia RAWR!

I'm ready for school on Monday =P

Meeting with classmates

2009-04-16T23:18:00.002+08:00

Today was the 2nd day I'm bonding with my classmates in Dip IT.

I'm feeling really restless now and what made matters worse was that my sore throat was acting more serious as compared to Day 1, and I'm also suffering cough as well. It really hurts a lot whenever I cough or swallowing saliva! Currently trying to recover from it using the usual strepsils remedy (honey one) which I would say could take days to take effect, though my mum offered her help to cook me barley water, which I kindly rejected. Oh gosh I seem to be torturing myself in this orientation camp. Tomorrow still have to shout the cheer somemore, good game to me =x

I still had fun with PIG members during the camp! We were awesome man haha! Then today while we were playing card game my fingernails accidentally cut the skin of Larry's finger, then a little blood came out, and I'm so guilty and sorry for that >< (Who asks they all play until so kiang chong and rough! =x)

Just saw the timetable online. It was freaking mad. I'm not a brainiac!
There's like so many lectures and tutorials, especially Mon and Thurs.
Fri is a good day to slack, and all our breaks are 3 hours long too (:

Going for sleep now. Missed my bed so much (:
And after I get back from camp I'm gonna fix the blog so that it could be viewed properly in Firefox.

Sweety dreams readers!

Enjoyable Outing @ East Coast Park

2009-04-13T23:05:00.000+08:00

Today I get to meet our awesome T01 group members again!

I'm usually the latest to arrive, but today I'm like the earliest? O.o
Then we went chatting about Heather running (I can't imagine that haha)
Grabbed a chocolate ice cream at Interchange Macs before we headed off to East Coast Park.
Let's go, Ikimasho! =D

It was a long tiring walk there, because we so kiasu until we alight at the earlier bus stop.
We went to rent a bike at the shop which I previously went with Gerwyn and Terrence,
and I'm totally shocked by the price right now. I could still remember that it was $5-6 for
3 hours of bike, but now it's like $6 for 2 hours only? Of course they still continue to provide
us with a bottle of mineral water which tastes weird as usual.

Both Jovan and Heather can't cycle well, so they needed someone to bike with them.
With the double-bike, I hopped on to the front while Jovan was behind me.
I swear he's damn heavy haha! I can't even balance the bike for like 2 seconds?

Heather and I =D

Eventually Rebecca took Jovan while I took Heather. It's so funny lar haha!
I was actually praising her because she's steady!
And we also talk a lot of funny stuffs while cycling as well!
Heather hiding herself in the bush? (Haha now we know where to search from if she's missing!)

Bicycle Malfunction :(

Halfway through, Reb and Jovan's bike malfunction because the chain came out.
After some time fixing it, the problem came back again ><
Heather and I cycled to join Xinning and Megan to slack at Macs while they
walked back to the bike shop to exchange for another bike.
Hwee Min so lazy haha, you should go build up your stamina to be a strong gal :D

After the tiring ride we slacked by the beach and enjoyed the cool breeze.
It was really high tide today, dunno why sia, maybe I come then the sea get high.
Lol ok not funny -_-

Then we went on and share jokes, talk about school life & FOC etc.

During evening we went to Parkway Parade, where the girls ate at Swensens.
And we discovered Megan's crave over breads haha. Next Stop: Breadtalk =x
Btw I didn't want to eat at Swensens as I'm on budget (since I'm poor) and my mom
has already cooked dinner, so I shall be a good boy and eat the meal prepared for me^^

Before we left, I went to Delifrance to buy this long bread thing, which only cost like $1?
It was really cheap, crispy and delicious! Here's picture of it :)

Delifrance Bread (In slices)

The journey back home was rather fast as 966 whizzes past the PIE =]
Have to walk under the flyover which was quite eery and dark as well.
And Hwee Min shared her journey home with me also =P Ok we shan't say it anymore ok? ^^
It was an awesome day spent with my group today, and I'm going window shopping tomorrow.

Weee~

Outing with P.I.G. members

2009-04-10T16:32:00.000+08:00

Haha it doesn't matter what PIG stands for :D

Taqinah, Rui Xue, Larry and I went out today for a gathering since we missed each other so much right? ^^
Anyway they are from IIT DPA who is part of our self-created IG (including Kean as well) =/

We went over to Marina Barrage during the afternoon to slack around as usual.
The seats in the bus towards there was so dusty, especially when Larry pat on the seat and all the dust started to form a cloud in the bus lol. It was a pity that the weather wasn't nice; we saw ugly dull clouds all over the city area as shown below, but still we had an enjoyable time over there:

The camera there so lousy, take such unglam photos -_-

After that we went to Suntec City for lunch at the food court next to Pastamania.
We ate and chat there for quite a long time before we finally decided to walk around Suntec, even though all of us seem restless already. We shop around Watsons, browsing through the products, of course not missing by the condom corner, and also the cute cartoon plasters.

While waiting outside Watson for RuiXue we saw this advertisement which reminds Taqinah of Mighty Dollar $_$

I could still recall the awesome heavenly smell of the toilet from far away! And yeah we headed to the toilet for babbies only (thinking that there's toilet for us too, but we were wrong), and it stinks worse =x

After that we went to play at the arcade above Carefour. I could still remember my parents pronouncing it as
Care-rer-four to me, and I followed them until people started to correct me by saying it's car-foo. Opps!

We headed on to Toys R Us to play around (with the magic ball and other toys) before we went to the arcade.
It was quite expensive and I always find that playing at such place is just as well as throwing money into the ocean.
But still Taqinah and I went played a round of the machine I played that time in T01 chalet. Rui Xue got scammed by this shooting machine because we didn't knew how to reload (until we look at the instructions) and the $2 credit was gone in 5 secs. That's really a waste =/

Before we left, we tour around Mini Toons, discovered the sour tube thing, the funny signs which can be placed behind the cars (Honk if you are horny), Hello Kitty perfumes etc. After that we walked back the long citilink way back to the MRT before we bade goodbye. I happen to meet with Shirlyn too in the MRT at Outram Park station!

It was a great day to spend with these people as time really passes fast before we even knew it's already 7 plus O.o

Later at night I also chat with Heather's friend, Syam, whose in the same empire as me in FOC. He's just as humourous as her so it's very funny to talk with him as well, and yeah we got the same feeling during the FOC too,
Hi 5! It was great to know and chat with him =D

Freshmen Orientation Camp

2009-04-08T00:00:00.000+08:00

Reliez Reliez is the link =D

I'm glad that I'm not alone, because Rui Xue, Keldon, Tim and Jasmine are in the same empire as me! Day 1 to me was cheers, cheers and more cheers. We didn't do much as the highlights of the camp are mainly on Days 2 & 3. During the camp I also met Jessica, Shirlyn, Felicia, Rebecca, Ken, Nigel and Elijah. Sounds like I know many people in the camp, but I still feel quite lonely in the camp =(

I find it hard to socialise well with the people in my empire.
Could it possibly be too many people? No common topic? Or was it that I'm just tired?
I've no idea why, but generally I feel that most DPA-ians have the same feeling too
T01 is still the way to go for us! UNO UNO^^

Day 2 we get to learn many new things and play games as well.
There's mass dance, learning how to sing the TP songs and also jam and hop. It was a great and fun experience! We also played many station games, and I could still remember one where I have to *dig my nose and taste it*, but of course it's just a game and I didn't really do it >_> Honestly speaking, I didn't really involve myself very enthusiastically in the games we played, but I did cheer for the group ok? =D During the night we went around Tampines for station games. *Rock on!* HEHEHE

Day 3 was mainly water activities! We were splashed with water even though we did the actions correctly at certain stations, but it was still fun and great to be wet. Some games include the soapy slope, scrubbing the wall, sushi roll, angel "fly" etc. Later at night the overall empire result was released, and Reliez got 3rd! It's already a great achievement as we've climbed from last place to the 3rd through these 3 days, and the GLs were happy with our perfomance too =]

Before we left home, we did another mass dance, awesome!

Overall I did make some new friends during the camp, and I enjoyed the times
I spent with them during the camp too^^

Another camp

2009-04-05T00:00:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow's Freshman Orientation Camp at TP!
I hope that it would be better and much more fun and enjoyable as compared to normal camps.

I'm also getting my laptop before heading for the camp, so excited :D

After the camp, I'm still gonna shop with Gerard, watch movie with PIG member, hang out with Tze Jie, Joel and maybe Glenn... So many activities which occupied my calendar. And not to mention the IT school camp as well! Haiz...

T01 Chalet

2009-04-04T00:00:00.000+08:00

Since how long have we lost touch with one another?
Or probably it's just me who's so lonely in IT school? =/

Anyway I finally met T01 again at Vivo before we headed over to Sentosa for the chalet.
A slow and painful waiting experience for most of us while looking around Daiso as we await the arrival of Gao Chang which took around 3 hours...

While waiting, I went to walk around with Chloe and Jovan at a pet shop nearby:

Aren't they just simply adorable?^^

The photos I took as we went outside Vivo to enjoy the surroundings

We proceeded to the chalet after a shopping spree at Giant
The walk towards the chalet was long and tiring, because we went by the other entrance
As we stepped into our room, all of us were shocked by the size of the room!!!!!!!
It's not even 3/4 the size of my bedroom! This must be impossible -_-
Anyway we just spent our night over there even though it's too small to fit 10+ of us

At around 1AM, Megan, Jasmine, Damian, Hui Xuan and I went to swim at the pool below
It was hard for me as I've not swim for like 5 years?!?
All my skills were completely lost, like frogstar, freestyle etc.
But of course I knew how to float, otherwise I won't be typing this out here hehe xD

The swim's over and here we are back to the chalet room with Joey and Rebecca's bf.
We played many games to orientate ourselves, such as Chop Chilli Chop, Police and Murderer, Cheat, Big 2 and so many more. It was horrible when an Indian guy next door came knocking at our door and demanded us to keep our volume down, especially when we were at the "high point" of our activities =/ At around 6AM Joey, her bf and Damian left the chalet.

We did manage to catch a 1 minute nap before the rest of the group came back from Coffee Bean or wherever they've been for the past few hours. As I ate my "breakfast", which is just chocolate wafer, Jasmine realized that the brand/name of it was POKER. Lol what a coincidence that it was something we've been playing for so long just now.

We hardly got any sleep before we head out to 7-11 as Jasmine and Megan bought their breakfast before the 4 of us (Jasmine, Megan, Chloe and I) fell asleep comfortably outside a restaurant's table. I swear it was damn nice to sleep on and the environment was quiet as well (besides the stupid irritating music which played after I woke up).

Shortly after that Rebecca and Ee Cheng left the chalet as she's feeling unwell since yesterday =(
And Damian is still having headache.

After the lunch at Koufu we went to one of the attraction in Sentosa, which is the southern most point of South East Asia. It was quite cool to be there, imagining myself at the tip of Asia continent which comprises of so many countries...

Awesome Seaview

During the evening we went to play beach volleyball by the beach
It was a painful experience as I saw red patches all over my hand, especially the part where I used my hand to hit the ball. Ouch! I guess I even suffered a bruise on below my right thumb, which I only noticed it while I was going to shower later at night.

As we got bored over the game, we changed to play beach rugby to get everyone involved, participate and enjoy themselves! However, this game allows me to discover their "true image" as they got really rough during the game =x I could still recall getting touched by someone whom I can't see in the chaos, and I even got strangled by Kelly!!! Argh, I will catch you some other time =D

The BBQ at night was average to me, more or less the same type of food...
We played Fuzzy Wuzzy and a strategy game shared by Xinning which none of us could get the "strategy" behind it no matter how hard we try (and Heather yea hahas!)

After the BBQ I went to play the machine which we usually see in arcades, the one where a person has to hit the 3 big buttons, together with Chloe and Joey's boyfriend, at a reasonable cheap price of 50 cents. I swear the bot was super gay as I continued till the game was finally over.
It wasn't fair at all; the bots are most probably cheating =x

Later on I was being dragged into the pool by Gao Chang and Tim Teoh
Well I didn't really wanna go down into the pool again as the experience I got was terrible after the swim; my hair & body was really sticky and I just seem to have drowned in a pool of super glue -_-
I can't imagine it as I scrubbed my "hard solid waxed" hair during the shower on the first day.

As we played in the pool, a man approached us and said that the pool was closed while he opened up the sign board and placed it in front of the pool. I did not care much about it as I find that the person can't possibly be the staff of the resort; reason being him dressing so casually and he left the chalet shortly after putting up the "POOL CLOSED" sign board. It may be a prank... Who knows? Ignoring his words, we continued to play in the pool until this stupid guy came...

1. He was an Indian
2. He was holding on to a can of beer
3. He used a very rude word in a horrific manner and tone towards us
4. He was looking for a fight with us
5. He was the BIGGEST MANAGER who manages the resort! WTF!!!

I really feel like slapping his face as he shouted us to get out of the pool. The group of us did so and we just stand and stare at him beside the pool. Then he ordered us to stand 5 meters away from the pool, which we did so too. As he was so far away, we can't really hear what he was talking about, so some of us shouted back to clarify what he was trying to tell us, but he took it as an offence and thought that we were insulting him, thereby resulting in him charging towards us furiously and obviously looking for a fight by saying "What did you say just now?" I was so angry and upset with his attitude, but there was nothing much I could do as I was really shivering/trembling after coming out of the pool as the wind was really cold. Later on Kenny and others accompanied him into the office and after that we were told to leave. I am so going to complain this incident to the head of Costa Sands Resort if I have the time to do so! I would like to demand why the manager is holding a beer and why is he's attitude so fierce and impolite to the guests of the resort! Yes, I understand clearly that both parties are at fault.

As the train arrived at Beach Station, we saw Yizhen coming out from it.
It's not that we didn't want to stay, it's just the size of the room and the kind of service we get from that crappy Costa Sands Resort @ Sentosa. As I reached home I just fell asleep as usual =D

End of CDS

2009-04-01T00:00:00.000+08:00

Today's the final day of our 3rd CDS!
It was hell rushing mad and the situation got worse when people start printing their papers while the members on my table are still rushing out the details of the final report.
My blog reflection for EIR CDS got shorter and shorter as the number of days passed =/
I'm just hoping to achieve an A for this CDS!

The computer which I've used for about 6 days during the CDS

The report which I managed to rush out just in time

Members of P.I.G.

Stuck inside the room ><

Moments with P.I.G. during class =]

Slacking after the break

EIR CDS for PPP'09!

"What's so good about YouTube?" Activity

Preparation for Presentation

Presentation going on while someone plays Dota -_-

Just wondering

2009-03-22T19:30:00.000+08:00

The skies yesterday was awesome.
A mixture of orange and a little yellow/red
It's a sight which was rare to my eyes =x

Today the skies were peach and pinkish
It's so warm and it just reminds me of the "I'm relaxing at home" feeling

Anyways I'm still watching Boys Before Flowers at Ep. 17
Somehow it just gets more and more boring? ><
I'm so bored at home playing the same game as I had again and again
But I'm glad that my classmates/buddies are still keeping in touch with me over MSN (:

Second Day with IIT mates

2009-03-20T19:09:00.000+08:00

Today's event was just strength quest analysis
The survey amongst ourselves was rather boring as well =x
Instead of ending at 12 Noon as stated, we finished earlier and was given early release at 11AM!

Taqinah, Kean, Larry, RuiXue and I went to eat at Design School canteen
We were laughing /talking so loud that people looked at us =x
After that we went up to Library's Project Room to enjoy the aircon and have fun
In the midst of our playing, a guy next door came angrily towards our room!
Lucky the door locked sia!!! Haha loser. He warned us to lower down our volume.
So we played softly and after a while we were bored of it, so we went out to check what he's doing.
Guess what? Self-studying in a project room! WTF, we thought it was like a group!!!
Self-study in a project room is ridiculous! Waste of space! GUAI LAN KID!!
I feel like f*cking him upside down already. GUAI LAN GUAI LAN!!!!!!

We went to the benches outside Cyber Centre to continue the games while in the project room
Concentration, chop chilli chop, some IQ-related things etc.
We played so many games by ourselves just to orientate ourselves (5 of us) -_-
Anyway it was pretty fun meeting them as they bring "life" and "laughter"

Group Photo (:

Another one!

Hey we tried our best to form IIT =D

A water bottle! Lols -_-

My hand got the most chops =(

The unisex toilet =x

And the lift xD

At around 4 we exchanged emails and numbers before we head for home =P

New Start

2009-03-19T00:00:00.000+08:00

There's both good news and bad news =/

Today marks the beginning of School Discovery Programme!
Finally we get to mix and mangle around with people from IIT school
However it also meant separation from my previous group =(
It's like I'm the only guy who's in IIT school from T01, "I'm so lonely..." *music*

First day of school with IIT mates was okok~
The first thing which we did was a strength questionnaire to find out our strengths
I took about half an hour to complete the whole survey, tiring but it was worth it =D

The report =)

After that we proceeded with IT Survival Skills on MS Excel 07
It's so fun doing the tables and stuffs, reminds me of the admin works during CCA
After that we played "Concentration" game to increase the bond amongst the 13 of us
while waiting for the time to the next event since we ended early.
We had to initiate orientation ourselves since there's no seniors orientating us for IIT school =(

After that we went to Directorate's office for tea-session with her
The atmosphere was so different! It's like we're all seating on big huge chairs just like how businessman sat in a meeting room, so professional!!! Then the lecturers/tutorials sit on the sofa/chairs below =x

The food provided was argh, horrible?
Spring roll was stuffed with towgays...
The round green thing with coconut filling inside wasn't nice also!!! Disappointed...
The skin of it was even thicker than my skin, so hard to bite/chew =x
Coconut filling so little, and it flowed out from different direction where I bite on
How about serving us with Mensa's Western Food next time round? (;
Taqinah wasted the towgays, Larry stacking up the chrysanthemum packet drinks...

It's the first day, so it was rather boring and dull
Hope that tomorrow would be a better day!

Movie Session

2009-03-18T00:00:00.000+08:00

Went out with Joel and Tze Jie again to watch movie at AMK Hub.
Over there we met 2 NCC (Air) juniors and we happen to watch the same movie also
What a coincidence huh?!?
We watched Mall Cop, which I always name it as Paul Slut for god-knows-what reason

The movie was relatively OK, judging from the high box office compared to Slumdog Millionaire.
Of course some parts were funny while it gets a little boring too at certain scenes
Also 2 eunuchs were produced too! Rofl stupid thieves and Paul Slut the hero =P
Eww this reminds me of him fighting with that fat overgrown woman. (Puking already...)
The part where he played at the arcade was so cool man!
The indian guy who called and tracked the "phone" was very funny also

Anyways just watch it if you need some laughter and entertainment =D

Trip to Megan's House

2009-03-17T21:38:00.000+08:00

Today we went to Megan's house at Tampines.
We slacked at her home for a while before leaving for the cycling trip.
Perhaps it was a bad day for us to cycle that day
The wet muddy trail prevented us from advancing further
All thanks to the stupid rain this morning =(

While we were climbing up the "hill" I was really very exhausted.
It seem so near but yet so far =/
I couldn't took it anymore when I'm almost at the top of it
I started to see many flashes, or in other words I could hardly see anything
Damian encountered this too, but mine was arhem... a bit more serious
Every time I stood up it gives my vision more flashes and I feel like vomiting
So the cause of this for both of us was that we didn't have lunch! -_-
Damian managed to get to the top with much struggle. That's great
For me it was epic fail. I was restless and didn't had any more energy.
OMG and thanks to Megan who pushed my bike up and Tim Chia for piggy-bagging me up! =D
Can't believe 2 boys are weaker than the rest of the girls lol.
I wonder what would happen if Tim wasn't around... Am I going to be dragged up by the girls?
Anyways I was "sleeping" on the sand while trying to regain back my full conscious
They told me not to sleep!!! Sit up!!! Well, that may be the doctor's way.
As a victim myself, I knew that having a short nap would be best for me
While I tried to sit up for 1 minute my vision blurred and I almost vomit
When I lie on the sand and took a nap for 5 minutes everything became fine
So best solution when you're feeling really unwell or lack of energy: Lie down & rest!!!

The scenery up there was pretty nice. (After I was fine with a 10 mins nap...)
My energy regained back when we travel down slope back to where we came from.
It was an enjoyable moment with the group! Next time I shall bring food and water^^
Thanks for those who were worried about me, but I really can't see who you are ><
BIG BIG THANKS =D

After that we ate at the coffee shop before going back to Megan's house for Mahjong!
It's been quite a while since I last played it ;)
The thing I hated was that the tile I'm waiting for wouldn't appear!!! Arghz
Anyway today was fun and exciting! Thanks for the outing T01 =]
See ya on Thursday for School Discovery Programme!!!

爽

2009-03-16T13:23:00.000+08:00

POC and Japanese CDS are over. A sigh of relief~

Group 5 for POC is simply awesome~!!

I went to IT show on both Saturday and Sunday.
I brought a HP laptop, which I think many would know by now -_-
The crowd over there was crazy, lots of pushing and squeezing
Of course I love to push people as well, especially those who think they are so BIG
Prices of TV were slashed like crazy, laptops too I suppose.

Suddenly I found myself too "free"
Of course there's good and bad of being relax and having nothing to do
Played a few games and it was so boring to me
Should I go collect school result today?
Maybe not due to the stupid rain right now ><

I'm starting to miss my group already! Have you? ;)

A desktop wallpaper to remember them for the days I had at the start of TP life.
All of you simply rocks and how I wish we could all be together in our poly life!

Time for RELAXATION!

2009-03-13T22:15:00.000+08:00

I'm so freaking tired today
Slept at 4AM and woke up at 6AM -_-
In the end I'm still late again for the meeting with my group at Simei
Stupid Ind*** bus driver keep stopping and going, honk here and there
I'm like standing so uncomfortably because the bus always stops abruptly. ARGH =/
I love the American twister meal at KFC in the morning! It's oishii =P
I have no idea why I chose coffee instead of tea or other drinks
And yeah I was really super freaking nervous before the presentation, can't control it =x
I thought I won't even have the energy to say anything or just faint there. Zzz

POC POC POC!!!
The presentation was awesome today! No stress yo <3
Our group made our awesome speech with our awesome research and product.
Group 5 all the way man! Hi-5! EMO shoe pwns all other group's product^^
Today's the last lesson for POC, my 2nd CDS!
Time seems to fly so fast. I really miss everyone, especially those who were in the same group as me in Japanese and POC. All of you were superb man!

Tomorrow have to head down to Suntec to get my laptop.
Well it's really a great deal for just $1299
With all the superb awesome specs. Go look for it yourself^^
It has always been my favourite laptop brand and I could finally get it yeah~
Oh ya have to help rebecca find her memory card as well =D

I'm still so engrossed with Seconds From Disaster, no idea why too
Probably because the TV is currently spoilt? Urgh.... New TV from IT show =)
Ok I shall stop here. See you all on tuesday for the cycling =D

I'm posting again (:

2009-03-10T18:11:00.000+08:00

How many times have I been late?
I'm always late for poly, no idea why also.
Call people to reach at 9.45, in the end I reach at like 10.10
So evil of me. Hehe xD

Today I went back to school for POC Draft Presentation
There were many editing works which needs to be done.
I think our group is the best man! Yeah~ Don't be jealous =P
Our ultra powerful and useful OMG shoe idea is gonna pwn you all upside down!^^
Since we didn't even prepare any speech, so we just spoke anything which came out from our minds at that point of time. It's my second time doing it and I feel that it's better to speak whatever you feel like saying instead of preparing a complete script for yourself.
And our groups accidentally missed out the last slide on what's so creative about it!
It's just a minor mistake man, buck up for the rest of the groups! Victory is ours (:

Tim left shortly after we revised the presentation again outside the library.
Rebecca and I went to library to do more research and editing. We're hardworking eh!
Except Tim who left to play soccer ~_~ Exercise = hardworking lols.
After that we went Biz Park for lunch.
Damian's group came when we were leaving for the bookshop. Wrong timing man haha!
Brought my sour plums as usual. Hmm I think it's 4 months old now. Just joking~

I'm just happy, contented and fortunate to be in T01! T01 rocks 4eva!!!
I'm always thinking about myself being so lucky and fortunate (:
I had a disconnection with games since poly started :O

Suddenly I just had this craze over Seconds From Disaster!
So freaking nice & awesome. Go watch it if you have time =]

IKEA Rampage!

2009-03-09T00:00:00.000+08:00

Today we went to Pizza Hut for ~~dinner~~ sorry I meant lunch.
We ordered the student meal which comprises of 2 pizzas, 4 soups and drinks.
It was not as filling as I expected it to be~
At the menu it says $37 if I'm not wrong, but when the bill came...
Service charge, GST and all that! It's like $49+!!!
So each of us paid roughly $8.

Later we met up with another group before heading to IKEA Tampines.
We went to visit Jessica who's working in the shop while we were on our way to the bus-stop.
The bus waiting process was ~~such a pain in the ass~~.
Eto...... opps ignore that phrase =x

Of course we had lots of fun in IKEA.
I love squeezing...
The chilli and ketchup etc for the hotdogs sold at IKEA.
What are you thinking? Something sick huh? Hehehe
Eventually I brought the ice-cream instead, which tastes good (:
We went past so many places. Furnitures, Children's corner, Bed stuffs etc.

We found Throw FELICIA for $15

And later on we managed to find Folding Chair JEFF for $9.95!

Lay Ting does enjoy the comfort of that bed very much (:

Chloe was having fun in her shower too!

Choya with Lay Ting and Hui Xuan

And taste Rebecca's cooking man! Hehehe =D

Many more photos in Jasmine and my facebook, so do check them up =D

angry

2009-03-07T23:59:00.000+08:00

This morning I was woken by by mum
Asking my sis and I to go Johor for my mum's Elder male cousin (堂哥) wedding
It's like we were rushing down to Johor via cab and car all the way.
The first taxi driver who drove us to Jln Besar there was so angry for no reason.
He just changed his gear from 1 to 4 within 10 seconds!
Then my mom ordered him to turn on the bloody radio, and he refused to.
He didn't care about road safety at all, as if he's father owns the LTA.
And god-damn I'm seating at the front seat beside him ><
Someday if I met him again I would sure record his plate number and complain until he quits.
The 2nd taxi ride from SG to Johor is so damn scam lar. 1 head = $10 / 1 car = $40 (SGD)

While in the taxi I was like so angry because the stupid barring on my phone is on.
I called singtel customer service and just spammed them with my rubbish.
The first guy who picked my call gave me a useless solution!
I kaopei singtel again this time with another woman picking up...
I said I want my roaming services now, and she said it can be done after 3 hours! WTF
I scold and scold and later switched the topic to activate the free Campus Call
I told her that some other customer service guy said my mum needs to be present and listen to the phone call to activate the free campus call. Then she tell me again that all I need to do is to bring my IC down to any hello! store to activate it. I started scolding the customer service officer again and kaopei a bit here and there before I finally hang up without even saying bye. (Yeah I'm somehow very very angry and furious today!!!)

Left speechless when we were stuck in the stupid jam with only 2 lanes at JB Checkpoint.
Then the person in the malaysia checkpoint was like so slow!
I swear and cursed at him in chinese, and was surprised to find out that he understood chinese. Who cares anyway~ Purposely drag our time even longer when he heard me say fuck. Then the security guards keep calling drivers out of their car and park it somewhere else for god-knows-what reason. And this dragged the time even more longer.

The food we ate there was average. I met my siblings whom I've not met for like 2 years.
Then my mum's on a rush back to SG for work in the evening, so it's like argh...
Come JB just for eating without shopping?!? Wasted!

At the JB Checkpoint we were told to take out and show our passport before we can go through. It's like c'mon man why need such thing? Waste of manpower somemore.
Then the stupid new checkpoint is like going round and round and round.
I can't imagine how the elderly would feel when they came/go back.

After that my sis and I went to Clementi for dinner with my aunt.
At least the food here is much nicer and delicious.
It's quite a long way back home.........

Glad that Facebook ain't spamming my inbox as much as yesterday.
I'm freaking tired today zzz
I'm so going to start my research on the POC topic ~_~ (Yea right...)

Spam!

2009-03-06T00:01:00.000+08:00

All Completed!

2009-03-06T00:00:00.000+08:00

It's finally friday~
Jap's presentation today was alright.
I actually forgotten one word and one sentence which follows after it.
It just suddenly slips out of my mind and it's hard to get it back!
Anyway we sure had lots of fun today ^^

After lunch we went to library to do the research for POC.
It ended up with all of us playing some orientation games instead of studying
Then the librarian and security guard came to told us that we were too noisy.
Indeed! Because that storey is the most quietest one.
I guess someone went to complain about us. Whatever~

POC consultation was the same.
We had loads of creative ideas for our SAFETY shoe!
I hope the research's gonna be easy <3
Too bad I picked all the hard topics to research on after a random pick'n'choose

After that we all chat for very long outside Library.
Stop pronouncing my name zacgggghhhhhhh, it's Zach. =P

Time for some action!

2009-03-05T21:21:00.000+08:00

Friday's gonna be really really exciting and tiring as well.
It's gonna be the role-play presentation for Japanese CDS, the last and final one!
I've memorized my script already, great improvement from this afternoon.
Went to facebook and saw many many group photos there!
But our group not that cam whore freaks but we still have at least 3 photos (:
Ganbatte Kudasai for every group tomorrow! Last chance to perform our Japanese skills!

Today Gerwyn and Terrence came to TP also to hand up the enrollment envelope.
I was a pretty bad host to them haha!

I also need to get the research done on POC by tomorrow, so it's like CRASH COURSE.
Super-duper busy tonight!
Ok I gotta get everything done now.

Ja mata!

Coming to an end

2009-03-04T21:58:00.000+08:00

Today we finalized on our Japanese role-play script.
Friday's the play and that's it for Japanese CDS.

POC lesson was the same today.
We got back our first POC test result today.
Grading is like Z (90%) A (80%) B (70%) C (60%) and so on...
I was a bit disappointed as I expected myself to do better
Anyway I got A for the test. Jasmine actually got Z! Most got B.

We were suppose to come up with solutions for our question:
How to prevent elderly from falling down easily...
Rebecca came up with the causes: Obstacles, Slippery Floor and Wobbly Legs
For obstacles she recommended Super Hero eyes so they can be gone by starring at it
or just shout out using a high pitch and the object would fly away.
For slippery floor, the first phrase which came from my mind was "Mop the floor"
Then I realized I made a stupid suggestion... It would just make it more slippery.
For Wobbly legs I said that elderly should exercise more and perhaps go for leg therapy.
All of our suggestions very stupid and funny -_-

Then we were told to do this worksheet which has like 3 words in a row.
I happen to see the last row with these 3 words: Enjoyable, Tedious, Movement
I said the last row sounds very wrong and everyone started laughing. Kinda obvious.

2 more days for Japanese and 9 more days for POC. How I wish all these end soon!
Gerwyn and Terrence are coming to TP tmr!
I also haven't submit my Envelope B for tuition grant etc yet.
Laptop brands are the same throughout the polys, so I think it's either Fujitsu or Lenovo for me.
Unless I'm rich enough to get myself the high-end Lenovo or a HP laptop.

Ok nth else. Cya~

Overtime

2009-03-03T16:31:00.000+08:00

Let's see the flow of events
7AM - Wake up for school
7.20PM - Reached Home

7.20-9.30PM - Use Computer
9.30-10PM - Study for Jap Test
10-11.30PM - Sleep
11.30-1.30AM - Study for Jap Test
1.30 - 3.30AM - Sleep
3.30 - 5AM - Study for Jap Test
5-6.50AM - Sleep
6.50-7.30AM - Study for Jap Test

Feeling so tired now~
And I only got 34/40 for today's test, while others get 36,37 etc.
Tomorrow we have to submit research + reflective journal for POC
Which means no time for me to get a nap/sleep today
Everything's gonna rush rush rush!
It's simply insane for this week.

So I met Bruce from Marcus's group today.
He's also the type of person whom I could talk well with.
In my group....
Boys: I can only talk well with Jovan, the rest is no-no.
Girls: Quite a few I can get along with, some is also no-no.
There's also 2 people whom I definitely can't get along with.(Can be either sex if you're guessing)
It's really hard to find someone whom I could associate well with, since we must have at least some common topic to talk about besides hi and bye.

Just a post

2009-03-02T20:10:00.000+08:00

Coming Soon; that's the movie I wanna watch once it's released on 12 March
But the ratings had yet to be advised, so I hope it's NC16 so that I could watch =D
Anybody wanna accompany me watch? I hope this is scarier than REC!

Today's Japanese lesson was pretty fast again.
I'm just repeating blindly what the others had said.
It just doesn't get into my mind that fast as compared to others.
You can say one Japanese word and I would most probably forget it within 30 secs.
Tomorrow's the listening comprehension, and I'm starting to memorize like mad now!

Today we got back our first test paper. I did quite badly though...
42/60 > A2 in Secondary School haha
A lot of them scored 50+, and the highest being 58 which was Kelly-san~

My group's POC consultation is like 4PM.
We waited from 12.30 all the way until about 4.30PM since some groups purposely dragged their time so that we can go home later, so evil zzz
In the end all the last 3 groups combine together for the consultation
i think this is unfair as we were given little attention to our work.
But at the end of the day I asked Jeff to help me check, and luckily he said it's fine.

Ok so I posted my first ever note in Facebook today.
And found that I actually screwed up 72% of my teenage life.
I wonder if it's accurate or not in the first place -_-
This reminds me of the time when everyone cheated in the History test during Sec 1
Where all of us have to fill up the stupid yellow form to explain this and that...
Then Sec 4 being canned for getting late 6 times within a month. Was like wth~
I guess I'm late for school like more than 50 times from Sec 1-4! (Mostly in sec 3&4)
It's so freaking stupid and retarded to start school at 7.30AM when other secondary schools actually starts later than that.

My school is just like a perfect model prison:
The sign of "Guard House" on the security post, the window bars on window panels, the jail-like gates all around the school. I wonder what would happen if an emergency strikes...
Would all the students be trapped inside? Most probably...
I've also heard that the school changed a lot, teachers left and new ones aren't good
Luckily we left the school on time~

Also, the Milo/H2O/Meiji Yogurt/Meiji Milk vending machine only arrived at our last year of study if I'm not wrong. And before that we entirely depended on plain water.
Again this reminds me of the fruit juice sold in the canteen: they actually recycled the plastic cups! It's like so gross and disgusting man. Ever since I knew about it I swear I will never buy anything from that store again.

Ok I wanna get some decent grade for tomorrow's test.
Studying now. Do not disturb =P

Get Going!

2009-03-01T23:59:00.000+08:00

Ganbarimasu!

I'm finally done with the Reflective Journal, though it seems a little short for my Question 4... Guess I shall do it during lunch time.
Oh no there's still research and the triangle form to fill up!
Argh I guess I would really be deprived of sleep today.

I looked at the script Gao Chang sent me today, it's fine.
The listening test for jap is like tuesday?!?
I seriously haven't even study anything yet ~_~

I just wished that this week would past by very fast
And I could say sayonara to Japanese CDS!
Plus enduring 1 more week to kiss farewell with POC <3 (You're driving me nuts!)

Hmm I'm still quite inactive amongst the group, especially the boys
Probably we're not the same clique you know...
Some topics you guys find interesting but I don't. Sad to say that.
Despite that I shall still try my best to mix with you all.

Good night. I had a lot of things to rush!~
And thanks for visiting my blog =D

Finally it's weekend!

2009-02-28T23:45:00.000+08:00

Lectures, tutorials, I'm so sick of it already >.<
There's so many things due next week:
- Reflective Journal draft on POC (abt 1500-2000 words)
- Consultation at about 4-4.30PM
- Research on problem mentioned in POC
- Japanese Role-Play script
- Japanese Role-play on Friday
- Japanese Listening Comprehension Test on Tuesday
etc...

Well out of all the 3 workshops for POC, I love drama the most =P
That's when we actually get our minds to work and come out with funny ideas and thoughts

Went to play pool again with the both of them at TPY.
Today my skills were pretty bad, first round already lost because the black ball went in
At one of the rounds I actually made the white ball go in for like 6 times?!?

I'm still wondering how to get started with the journal.
I hope my literature skills would help me spam half of it...
Fat hope =x

Hmm I seem to be posting the same kind of things everyday,
just like I'm talking to myself...
I doubt anyone will look at it anyways. Just let it be this way~

Japanese Test 1

2009-02-26T23:04:00.000+08:00

I'm so busy these few days that I had hardly any sleep!

I only started revising for the test like 10,11PM?
Then I fell asleep at around 12AM.
Halfway through my sister disturbed me and I woke up at 3.30AM.
I continued to study (while sleeping) until 7.45AM.
It was horrible!

Then when we flipped over the page...
BOOM! 10 Japanese Words (and the 4 choices) spammed the whole top part of the page
The dialogue part wasn't nice either!
The map was fine, but I guess I did really badly at Section 2,
which is short-answer questions.
The photo showed Princess Kiko, but I wrote KiKei -_-
Another photo showed the Hajime castle & required us to write which region it's from
I'm seriously clueless and I just put Hiroshima =/
The last photo was about the traditional dance, Noh, which I manage to get it =)
Hmm lucky numbers for Japan? 7 and 8.
Still got many questions I'm not sure also...
Just hope that I would be able to pass this test well, with flying colours I hope!

Today's POC Workshop was on Paper Cutting
It's really really boring and my mind's empty on what should I cut out
Rebecca beside me did a Strawberry Pocky cutting, very nice haha!
Then Jasmine who was beside her also did a very fantastic butterfly cut-out.
Mine was probably the worst. The idea went from a beach to a zoo
With some weird mosquito and a turtle plus a chicken and a sun.
Well I seriously suck at my Arts ~_~
Tomorrow's Drama for POC Workshop, and Marcus said it was really fun. I hope so!

I'm too lazy to do the reflective journal, neither do I know how to do it...
Japanese role-play script is almost done.
It's gonna be so hilarious and awesome!
Rain is arriving Japan haha =)

During lunch we did a small birthday celebration for Sabrina
Happy Birthday~!!

I received "IIT_School_Discovery_Programme_(19_Mar_to_1_Apr_09).pdf" in my inbox
I looked at the schedule and it was pretty OK.
Instead of letting IIT students go to Sentosa (like business school),
we had a tea session with IIT school management which lasts for an hour. ZOMG~
During this time we would also be completing our 3rd CDS: Effective Internet Research
Some days we get to end as early as 12 noon!
Hmm let's see. There's still Strengths Quest Questionnaires/Analysis and IT Survival Skills for MS Excel, Powerpoint & Word.
Looking forward to it^^

I've also signed up for the Freshmen Orientation Camp (Residential)
Do join me in the camp at TP =P

Sleeping early tonight. Cya~
[Yes! Tomorrow no Japanese lesson = Can wake up late]

Day in school

2009-02-24T20:17:00.000+08:00

Japanese lesson was really fast today.
Japanese class test 1 on this coming thursday =(
We had to do the role-play on next friday!
My group has 4 people including myself, and we are gonna create something
funny, humorous and exciting as well, so as to create a blast!

No POC lectures today. Hooray!
We went to the workshop where we did music using GarageBand in Mac
It was kinda boring and it's hard to put the correct songs in for the first time
Anyway here's the song I composed below using the loops available:

While I was on my way home I met Tinaes,
I thought I saw someone familiar, but I dare not ask in case it's the wrong person!
When I walked past him he called my name, so yea I made a correct guess.
Great to see quite a lot of potential scorers went into JC =)

Back at home now...
I'm totally clueless on what to do for reflective journal!
And yea I'm still depriving of sleep.

Dissapointment

2009-02-23T23:40:00.000+08:00

Well today's presentation was a big screw up for me,
partly because I'm looking at my cue card almost all the way,
with my very nervous look and I can't stop laughing at certain points.
and I hardly pointed out to my visual aid!
But still I managed to say all my things within 4 minutes, which is great.
Just a pity that I didn't show the wagashis to the class
Despite taking the plastic bag up there and taking it back down lol.
I wanted to like show the class but then the teacher already said "Thank You."
So I think it would be a little rude if I still continue...

POC lesson was extremely boring as usual.
Yes we're forever stuck with Jeff -_-
I actually day-dreamed while he was briefing us on the reflective journal
Eventually the class was dismissed 30 mins earlier than usual.

At night I went out with my sis and her bf to eat dinner at TPY.
After that we went to play pool, and I got thrashed badly by the pros haha.
Nvr mind... I shall try harder next time!

I'm sooo freaking tired right now~ Zzz

Rush Hour

2009-02-22T22:25:00.000+08:00

Today was basically a busy day for most of us I guess.
I'm still left with the proposal and speech for tomorrow's presentation.
I managed to rush out the informations for the proposal at about 5PM,
so it took me about 8 hours to finish the whole entire Presentation 1,
which is only 10% out of the overall marks!

At night I went to Takashimaya to get my kawaii wagashi
When the bus arrived I waved out my hand as usual
But this INDIAN Male Driver didn't stop and the bus just whizz past me
I stared at him, and he saw my stunned reaction
He only stopped at about 3 secs later, which was quite a distance from the bus stop.
When I boarded the bus he said "You should wave earlier when you see the bus coming!"
My mind was like "Wth?!? I waved so hard for about 6 secs and you can't see it?"
I told him that I had already waved for the bus
Ignoring what he said, I just went up to the upper deck
C'mon man is it so hard to see a passenger waving at the bus stop at night?
He ought to go for some eye checkup man!

Anyways by the time I reached Takashimaya it's already 9.10PM (about to close)
I went to bought these 4 different wagashis so that I could use it as a demo
They looked delicious, but I wonder how it actually taste like until tml
Total was $10.20, but I only paid 20 cents wahaha. $10 voucher so cool!

Ok I got to start memorising my speech now
Despite using cue cards to aid me tomorrow
I just hope that I look natural
And I could bring entertainment and laughter to everyone (:

Arigato Gozaimasu!
Sayonara~

Ganbarimasu!!!

Busy Weekend

2009-02-21T23:44:00.000+08:00

The POC test on Friday was really boring.
Imagine 6 pages of information on Issac Newton!
Plus the temperature in the lecture hall is super cold,
even those wearing jacket also complain haha.
But what about me who's not wearing any jacket and still wearing shorts?
Argh I only started to tremble at the end of the test =/ It's super cold~!!
Jean Sensei called me when I reached home, which stunned me for a while
Because no one speaks Japanese over the phone to me before...

After that I met up with Thomas, Shad, Yuan Qing, Saw Yang, Egi, Ricardo etc.
at Orchard Cineleisure to watch "Let The Right One In"
PERSONALLY FOR ME, this movie is bullshit and a waste of time.
It's even worse then Babylon AD, seriously.
And not forgetting to mention that the movie was really really long and boring.
It just revolves around this boy and "girl" repeatedly.
And this "girl" is a vampire who sucks blood and attack people
And this boy loves this "girl" as she actually accepted him as a friend
And taught him to be strong and fight back the bullies in school
And "she" protects him when he met with danger at the swimming pool part.
And it goes blabla this blabla that. I almost dozed off while watching it.
My rating: 0.5/5.0 (Watch it if you wanna waste about 2 hours of your lifespan)
I don't care how good you think this movie is, it's just crap and I don't
appreciate it very much because to me it just sucks.
Waste of my money as well!

After the movie I went to Takashimaya to find my kawaii wagashis
As all wagashi can't be kept long, I'm considering to buy it on sunday night
But it's not really necessary, and each wagashi cost about $2+
Well I shall consider about it first...
Thank god I have Takashimaya voucher, so it would be "free"!
Perhaps I can eat them up for lunch after the presentation =)

Today I went to TP Library to print the images for my visual aid
for monday's presentation on Wagashi.
I haven't fill up the proposal in MS Word yet, same goes for my speech on that day.
I'm getting a little nervous because I hardly do "presentation"
during secondary school days, so I may be a little stiff =x

After the printing I met up with Tze Jie and Joel at Safra TP to play pool
It was fun of course.
And yeah I managed to beat both of them for the 2 rounds with me being the handicap.
My skill's improving^^

I have nothing in my mind for the presentation on monday
I'm super lazy now because I don't feel like doing anything besides sleeping!
My brain's turning slower and slower, and I just can't concentrate or focus.
My memory's deproving at a very fast rate.
Guess I'm depriving of some sleep =D

Gd nights~

Hai!

2009-02-19T21:45:00.000+08:00

Ano,Konnichiwa! Watashi wa Zach desu.

Today's Japanese lesson was fun and interesting!
Bt still, I find it hard to catch up with the rest of the class,
as I always have to look at the textbook to say something.
Presentation's on Monday, and it's in English so I guess it should be fine.
I've found many kawaii pictures of Wagashi over the internet as well.
Hope that it would be able to interest everyone =)

Physcology of Creativity test is tomorrow =(
There's really nothing much to prepare ourselves with,
besides the lecture notes and a creative brain of each and everyone of us.

Back to mugging for the test...
Sayonara, ja mata!

So Bored

2009-02-17T13:25:00.000+08:00

I'm at TP Library now, it's so boring over here.
How I wish I do not have to attend the poc class in 30 mins time.
Btw poc = Psychology of Creativity = BORING!!!

Japanese class today was rather fast.
We were released 30 mins in advance. Woah~
Still have to cover up my presentation on wagashi on Monday.
Plus I have to start memorizing the Japanese again =/
But I swear Japanese lessons are way better than POC classes
At least we had much fun and laughter during the process.
POC could just doze me off; just like another history lesson.

Shall post back soon =)

Day Out

2009-02-15T18:36:00.000+08:00

Tze Jie, Joel and I went to watch Valkyrie
Yes, it is yet another movie about high treason to overthrow Adolf Hitler.
At some parts of the movie I can't hear properly what they're saying
So that definitely made me lost at certain points
But still this is so far the best attempt I've seen to overthrow his government
They could have made it, but it just takes one person to screw everything up.
It could be described as sad and wasted, despite the amount of energy and effort they've put in just to make this successful.

I watched "Mirrors" on my computer at home.
It was rated M18, but there weren't any significant nudity scenes at all
I guess it was more of horror, gory and bloody scenes
It didn't really interest me, just like any other horror movies
And I almost fell asleep halfway through...

Now I'm getting Der Untergang (Downfall)
This is going to be the third movie I'm going to watch about anti-nazi
But this particular movie is going to show the last few days of Adolf Hitler
So I guess it shall be interesting. Can't wait to watch it!

Mess!

2009-02-13T20:52:00.000+08:00

Oh how long did I last blogged?
There's so many things and events happening around me to blog about!
Never mind, I shall go in a slow pace.

The orientation in Temasek Poly was really fun and great.
How I wished it was more than 4 days ;)
There's so many things for us to chat about
Even after when we reached home and sat in front of our computers.
Uno T01 will always be a big happy family
I love you all for the times we shared together =)

The conversation we had at night was really funny
So everybody have planned about the breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper?!?
It really feels great that everyone's doing everything together
And when it comes to the person who shall settle the bill
All arrows pointed to the leaders! Haha we are so bad.
Bad enough to scare all leaders off our group and the conversation
And giving excuses such as talking to bunny, girlfriend and watching American Idol
Oh gosh Hanyang didn't treated all of us as his idols lol ><
Then we start to chat about wearing the same shirt to school on monday etc.
Of course there were many self confession by others too!
And all the leaders refused to tell us the bad side of TPSU, haha...
Of course I would like to join TPSU too!

Yesterday went out with Gerwyn, Terrence and Mark to play pool at SAFRA Toa Payoh
I'm still not very good at it, and I keep hitting "air ball"
Somehow my stick just went gaga
And the white ball would only move by A LITTLE BIT for a lot of rounds
Guess I'm not gifted in pool game
But at least I managed to make 2 balls go into different holes at the same time within that one powerful shot! Ohhhh it's not luck ok!
After that we went Mos Burger to eat
The mussels there were really nice, thanks to Terrence and Mark's treat on that!
Then Gerwyn said Subway is not fresh because they keep it overnight in fridge
I guess I would have to agree with that too =/
Later in the afternoon we went to cycle at East Coast Park
It's so fun and I've not cycled for like the past 1 year?!?
And the great deal: 1 hour $6 (+2 hours free and +1 Mineral Water)
Guess it's was really worth the value.
And I met Khairul from T02 over there cycling too!

Today Tze Jie, Joel and I went to Sheng Siong again for the third time
Just to collect our salary letter and the taxi cab fare
So I guess we do not have any more relations with SS anymore. Hurray!
After that we went to play Basketball at somewhere near YCK mrt
While playing halfway a AJC girl came to join us because she said she has nothing to do and she forget to bring her keys, so we let her play with us
Then halfway through 3 people from the group seating near the void deck came to us
They said that they wanna play and challenge with us
I was hinting to the girl to go off first, which she did, then I told TJ and Joel not to play with them, but TJ reluctantly said OK...
Originally we agreed on 7 balls to win...
Then while playing they were thrashing us all the way
7-0, which made me very du lan with them already
Then when we said we wanna leave they suddenly said 11 balls
I was like: "C'mon you're thrashing us and you think we still wanna play?"
So I was like shouting back to them 7 balls already, we are going off now
So I just took the ball and went off, Joel and TJ followed
After that TJ said one of the guys (wear spec one) scolded "fuck off"
Well I don't give a damn since I don't wanna play with them initially
And even if they wanna fight we also have people to call and help us
So we just went to the coffeeshop and grab a drink as usual
After that we went a round-about way back to TJ's house
Simply because we wanna avoid them as there's only 3 of us
Imagine the whole group come charging at us, we would die for sure lol
Next time must get ready a team of backup to help out when needed^^
And the ride back home was really boring...

So I've been deciding on a christian name for myself
First came out with Derrick, then Desmond, Alex, Dave
But none suits me very well; you know, the "not-so-me"
Chose Zachary (Zach) in the end because I think it's nice
And it's recommended by Ryan, Quintin, Amos and other people
So please do get use to my new name! Don't forget to add my new email address too!

I'm so happy that my name's appearing on the school website for the first time!

That's all I could blog about, visit here again next time^^

Adventurous Day

2009-02-09T19:48:00.000+08:00

Today I had much fun at TP ;)

That day I could still remember how I posted about my experience on the first day.
Well, today was really different as we communicated more and better than before.
I guess I chat with almost everyone in the group.
Then sometimes all of us would get high and enthu out of a sudden, hahas!

Anyway today's activity is Outdoor Adventure Learning.
We played a lot of games during the breaks and bonding sessions.
The driving game and the modified 7-up was fun though^^
zzzthe trolley game was really tiring, but it's really funny at the part when we were not allowed to say any words to communicate, then everyone were "Mmm..Mmm..Mmm.."
I couldn't stop laughing about it lar lols

The lunch after that was even worse than the one on Friday
Just a hotdog with a small piece of fried fish and some vegetable.
But i was really hungry at that point, so I just ate it anyway despite the taste.
Wait! is there any taste at all? O.o

After lunch came the highlight of the day: High elements!!!
But too bad each group can only do 1 element on that day
Our group got the one with 2 ropes only;
1 for supporting our legs and the other for our hand
It's supposed to be easy, but the wind was really strong
And I keep shaking and bouncing up there as if I'm dancing haha
Blame it on that wind, otherwise I could complete it even faster
Cause it's like even if you're not moving, the string supporting my leg would just vibrate really vigorously and I would have to re-balance again
But yeah I'm still a little afraid of heights haha

Next up was photography for us~
Everyone formed the word DPA
Then Damian and I were like sitting outside of the word D
Simply because there's really no more space
As we were the last people to help out the belaying for the last person...

Tomorrow's gonna be some dance lesson and TP Mass Dance
Followed up by afternoon's dragon boating. Whooooooopy^^

And congrats to Gerwyn for making it into Retail Management at TP for his appeal =]

Some memories

2009-02-08T00:00:00.000+08:00

Ok so I shall just post some photos on what we did at TP:

The group photo:

During the games

Opps! Stop pushing hahas~

It was fun of course =)
Activities for tomorrow is gonna be quite exciting I guess
Cause it's gonna be something about the same as OBS =x

Yesterday went out with Tze Jie and Joel to collect our salary report
But as it's non-office day so the drawer was locked and that person with the key ain't there
So we would have to go down on Monday to collect it; but thanks Joel for helping me to take on Mon
After that we went for our usual shopping spree
I brought 2 shirts for $52, then there's this lucky dip of up to 50% discount
I got the 30% one, and the staff said I'm very lucky ;)
So I brought another short which cost $30.10 after the discount
So 3 fashion pieces for $82.10, that's really cheap to me =]
Actually Joel wanted to buy that shorts too, but there's only 1 left (which is the demo one)
So ya he didn't bought it (so sorry I took yours =/)

Today I watched this show at Okto 10pm
Sophie Scholl: The Final Days
She was really brave; for all the things she had done
She is just like the hero and savior of Germany during those days
I was really touched by the show, and cried a little at the end of it
Despite being the "last day", the details were all there and it was fantastic
They're hardworking people too; working day and night for those fliers

Then my stupid dad who only knows Chinese doesn't appreciate the documentary in any way
Because the language of the show is in German and there's only English subtitles
While I'm watching halfway he would say "Haiz keep seeing the same girl again and again"
Then during the most touching part where they bade farewell with their parents
My father was down there laughing
"Hahaha you see they going to die already"
How I wished he could just shut up at that instance; it spoils the whole mood and the entire show
Not forgetting to mention that he's unrespectful he was too
Do you laugh when someone's about to die in the most cruel way? No!!!
OK whatever it is I just loved the show very much and I admire those brave people who stood up against Hitler and did whatever they think is right!
A quote from her which touched me: "The sun is still shining!"

A random funny wallpaper I found:

So now it's 1.20AM. 5 more hours to go before the next day starts. Good night readers^^

First day of PPP

Today's the first day of PPP at Temasek Poly.

I only managed to grab an hour's sleep, simply because I could only sleep after 5AM,
Despite me lying on the bed from 2AM all the way to 5AM.
I just couldn't fall asleep man
Am I getting some serious insomnia? Oh gosh!

The journey to TP was so cool
Bus 23 whizzes past the expressway and reached the school within 20 mins.
And the best thing is that there's only 5-6 stops, cause most of it are expressway.
But it wasn't nice to be paying the bus fee and yet standing up throughout the journey

At the start we were briefed by this lecturer who wore blue shirt
His warming up exercises were damn lame! Seriously~
Then I realized that Marcus and I were seating next to the same person whom we sat with when we came here for the first time during January
Something very special and unique about him
Every word which comes out from his mouth is always the F word
And Marcus told me that he is studying law -_-
Can't blame him anyway, because the intro really left me speechless
I felt like a three year old kid over there

During tea-break session we went to drink the coffee catered to us
It doesn't taste good though...
After that it's all ice-breaker games which we played so many donkey years~
And I hate playing such games because my name is the most difficult to remember by others
Maybe it's time I should just get myself some christian name~
But luckily for today I'm within the first 5 people to recognise the names for the 2 rounds of self-intro we played. So there's no need for me to recognise everyone's name haha.

We played this "disaster game" after that
Where everyone had to stand within the black thrash bag
And when a disaster struck we would have to move to other places
And the thrash bag gets smaller and smaller
Both Marcus and I managed to tahan until about last 3 rounds
Cause the disaster was "Global Warming on all countries"
So after all of us ran, we realised that there's no more space in other countries
Thus everyone in the same patch as us were out of the game
It's good to be out, cause the last 10 survivors have to do chicken dance =/
It was really hot when everybody was hugging so closely to each other
Regardless of race or religion

The lunch given to us was average.
Actually I felt like vomiting when I opened it
After that it's just school tour and nothing much.
Anyway it's just the first day, so we can't expect much yet

Apart from that, I was placed in Group 1, while Marcus is in Group 3 zzz
Then during the start of the ice breaker game for my group
Everyone found their "first friend"
Simply by partnering with the person on their left
So I partnered with this guy on my left
Everyone were together chatting like 2 boys 2 gals 2 boys 2 gals...
Little did I expect my "friend" to be so wierd
Ask him what course he's taking, and he said Clean Energy
After that I got nothing to talk with him about
Only a few asked him "Which course you went into?" and "What's your Sec School?"
He seems like a no-life guy to me >_> And he hardly talked to anyone later on

After that as we when to tour around the school, I was damn paiseh~
Cause it's like everyone walking in pairs;
Except the two of us who were walking by our ourselves
He walked all the way in front, while I'm around the back
Then when walking past people a bit malu
Photographers taking pictures as we walked made me even more malu
Because I looked like I do not have a friend or I can't communicate with others ><
Then I also don't wanna interfere with other ppl's conversation, so I just walked alone. Never mind, I'm just hoping that things would get better on Monday.
Plus, as this is only orientation within DPA students
What I care most of is orientation within people who were in the same course as me.

I'm so bored now =(
Both Marcus and I felt that we shouldn't have applied for DPA in the first place.
But it's too late now.
I guess I better grab some sleep today
Before I'm officially awake for more than 24 hrs (Actually I think I already did it)

Thanks for reading, bye~

School's Tomorrow

2009-02-06T01:22:00.000+08:00

PPP is going to start tomorrow!

Guess there's gonna be quite a lot of activities, since it's from morning 9AM all the way to evening. Oh gosh I'm still here typing crap at 1+AM!

Not much happenings today anyway.

Gerwyn's comp is still infected with some trojan virus
And here I am to help him (:
After that Ryan and I chatted on MSN.
Followed by updating of Varonz Fashion website again.

I wonder how it's gonna be like tomorrow
And what I should wear for the first day of school
Heard that some important person coming down on that day also O.o
SPORTS ATTIRE! Gosh god-knows-when I last exercised. 1 year ago?
And my exercise is just playing badminton and walking from/to mrt from/to my house.

Went to Facebook and saw both keith-ology and leon-ology
Both are interesting to read as well!
Maybe I will consider studying you guys as a subject hahas~

Ok better grab some sleep now.
Cya~

Walking around Singapore

2009-02-04T23:45:00.000+08:00

I'm out for a hunting session today!

Gerwyn and I went to Sim Lim Square in search of iPod Nano + other stuffs he needs to buy.
The price of it (8GB) is about the same in most of the shops.
Cheapest available at $199, others sold within the $230~$240 range.

Be careful when you buy things from Sim Lim:
Most of them are imitations! (Especially those china shops)

We saw this iPod Nano which was displayed in front of this particular shop.
The box, casing and all that are totally the same.
What we missed to look out for was the words printed beside the box.
Apple would put "iPod Nano", but those imitation ones would put MP4 Player.
I didn't really notice it because the words are in the same silver colour and size.
But after we knew about the imitation, we saw more and more shops doing this =(
So in the end we didn't buy any iPod Nano back from Sim Lim

Next destination: Funan DigitaLife Mall

We took quite a long walk there even though it's only a short distance
Partly because it's drizzling as well
We seem to pass by many many places
Such as the street from Bencoolen towards Bugis one
Then we went pass the famous chinese temple while searching for the old hawker centre
Which was under renovation and updrading works
And that Middle road which was somewhere near National Library.
Finally reached SMU, then headed straight for Funan
With our hungry stomachs =/

The whole Funan mall is damn guai lan and wierd also...
Gerwyn wanted to withdraw cash, so I thought there would be an ATM machine at ground floor.
Cause all the ATMs are apparently there
Then I asked one of the staffs there, and she told me it's on 3rd floor....
Gerwyn kept complaining the POSB guai lan one haha!
Actually quite true lar, cause all the company have their ATM downstairs,
only POSB special one

Finally we went back down to Macs to eat our lunch.
I almost forget that Gerwyn was vegetarian =x
But never mind cause he ordered other stuffs.
Then strange things happen inside and outside Macs...

I was being served by this young/handsome malay staff
So I told him what I wanted to order.
And after I collected my tray he said "Thank You Boss"
OK, that's a little wierd!
After we ate finish our meal, we went down by the "small stairs"
Cause we sat at the place between 1st and 2nd floor (no idea how to describe that)
Then that same staff was going up the stairs too as we walked down
Gerwyn walked in front of me
Then as Gerwyn walked past him
He said something (which I totally didn't catch at all)
Cause I thought he was talking to someone else -_-
Until he looked and smiled at me >< (slow reaction lols)
Then Gerwyn said he think that person is saying to me "Thank you please come again"
But I guessed he said "Have a nice day" or something sort of that
Ok fine. So that's the only weird encounter I had at Funan.

After that as we proceeded out of Macs
Gerwyn was approached by this ang moh guy holding a cream on his hand
Who just suddenly appeared in front of us
He told Gerwyn some crap (luckily not me^^) and put some cream onto his arm
Guess he was just trying to promote that cream thingy
But that reluctant look from Gerwyn agrees with what I'm thinking:
It's totally unexpected for him to put that cream and spreading over his arm without even asking for his permission first.
When we left, Gerwyn said it smells horrible, but I think that smell is OK
A very light lavender smell if I'm not wrong.

We walked past many stores in search of headphones.
Halfway through we realized that the food court is at the 4th storey
Should be a newly opened one, cause I don't recall it being there.
Gerwyn and I regretted eating at Macs =x

We went all the way up to the top storey where Challenger was
I don't usually buy things from there because it's expensive
Like the Nike Headphone which we saw downstairs
Challenger: $40+
The shop downstairs: $29.90
WOW! >_>

After much effort of finding and choosing (and a lot of patience)
Gerwyn finally brought an Altec Lansing headphone
Which was the same brand as my desktop speakers
I like that brand very much mainly because of the sound quality
Besides that, the design of their products are pretty good too~

After that we went City Hall MRT to take the train back home
There's 1 priority seat and a normal seat beside it which were empty
Gerwyn went to seat on the priority seat
I told him to be careful...
Because people who usually seat there will become famous overnight at STOMP
Thanks to bo liao people who likes to take photographs secretly
And create fake news/info based on those stupid photo showing
how we sat at the priority seat and not giving it to others -_-
What a selfish and one-sided view of the whole event~

Tomorrow have to go back Sheng Siong again to collect the pay letter/report
Because they can't afford/bear to send it to our residential address
Never mind...
So long as I'm able to get my pay can already

Nothing else...
Nites Nites~

Shopping!

2009-02-02T23:53:00.000+08:00

Today's stop is Marina Square!

Hotpot (: The food there was delicious and the chicken broth was marvellous.
I enjoyed the cooking process too (Actually more of dumping the food down -_-)

After that we went to shop around, with my sis and her bf.
Brought a new berms and also a new collar shirt.
Things ain't cheap over there ;)
Saved a great deal thanks to the 10% discount from her bf's brother membership
Not to mention that they have so many memberships for so many stores xD

Before we left we went to play pool, which I still suck at.
There's just always something wrong with my angle, haiz...

Reached home and began coding Varonz website.
It's so complicated ><
But nevertheless the layout and design is done.

So tired yet happy =P

Restless

2009-02-01T01:39:00.000+08:00

Today woke up at 8.30am
Slept for only 3 hours because I only sleep at 5am

Tze Jie, Joel and I went to Queenstown Shopping Centre
But before that we went to eat the hotdog at IKEA Alexandra
It's fun squeezing the mustard and chilli out hahas
Feels like I'm milking a cow

The shoes are about the same over there, though cheaper.
No matter how many shops we went buy
Nothing attracted my attention
The shoes are either not nice in terms of looks or in terms of price
Awwws...

Happened to chance upon this shop which sells a very nice T-Shirt, white colour with green border around the neck and sleeves, and the cartoon at the front looks cute also. Too bad there's only left L and XL. Tried L and I look like I'm wearing pyjamas -_-

Finally brought a t-shirt with another design from that same shop.
White colour, black cartoon, no black borders (what a pity...)
Saw on the website and it's sold for $32.90, but the auntie gave me discount until $30

Perhaps I should just support Singapore designers
And wear their designs out there
Proud to be one (or not?)

I still feel a bit scammed ><
$30 for a simple shirt design seems a little expensive
But nonetheless it still looks good on me (yeah right...)

School's starting soon, and I'm so deprived of some jeans, shorts, shoes
And yes, a BAG! Definitely.

Haiz should have went for shopping spree before New Year, but too bad I kena afternoon shift and there goes my whole day "devoted" to work. Wasted. Now also very little promotion liaoz

Played Castle Fight in Frozen Throne with another guy
2v2 match - 4 rounds
We won all the 4 rounds, with me building that gay banshee for 2 consecutive rounds
Realised that the gayest monster was hydra
Superb damage. But still, we managed to kill their hydras (:

Developing a new skin for my blog, which looks attrocious
I'm getting less and less creative
Thanks to that O Level stress

Did a swap between the hosting servers for NCC (Air) and Varonz Fashion
Just because the admin lazy to install that php extension
Then this Magento Commerce is also full of bugs
Latest version is 1.2.0.3
But can only install Version 1.1.6 and below...
Saw many websites also using 1.1.x
Some website using 1.2.x, but the entire shop seems useless
Because no matter what link I click on, I will get back to homepage again and again
And when I try to install 1.1.7 onwards
The installation will keep looping at License Agreement
Sadded... Reported bug but not even fixed yet up till today

I'm bored. Are you?

Day Out With Friends

2009-01-29T22:58:00.000+08:00

My usual habit has returned back =/

Set the alarm clock to ring at 7.30AM, but it seems useless.
I thought what the hell was the sound and just slammed it!
I didn't even know what I'm doing
Probably because I only slept at 5 plus in the morning.

Thanks to Tze Jie for the morning call at 9.10AM.
Because we were supposed to meet at 9AM.
And I'm still lying on my bed at that point of time.
Gosh, so embarrassing this time round...

We had breakfast at Serangoon Macs
Later went Plaza Sing to watch Love Matters.
But before that we went to play car racing game at the arcade beside it
So glad that I won 2/2 matches =x
After that we head back to the ticketing counter to buy the movie tickets.

Shit! Where and when did this whole damn crowd appear from?
(Before that the ticketing area was empty like hell)

The queue extended all the way to the entrance of the arcade =[
Worst of all, only 1 ticketing counter is opened. FTW! Lousy efficiency.
Movie supposed to start at 11:10
But the counter only opened at 11AM
And the queue for that bloody single counter took us about 20+ minutes.
No longer interested anymore... The movie has already started
I hate watching movies halfway through, leaves me clueless and lost

Love Matters is adult-themed.
But this time round I'm really quite disappointed by the movie.
Though the acting and all that are good,
the storyline isn't nice to the extent that it would arouse my attention to it
Of course there are funny parts, but they seemed to be chopped into many pieces...
Wasn't really a nice movie afterall, I would give it a rating of 2/5
A little better than Babylon AD only.
And don't be scammed by that iron advertisement played before the movie starts
Cause it never appeared in any scenes of Love Matters
Yet another disappointment...

Just read the movie review for Bride Wars...
All the comments are not very nice
Ratings were very low as well... I thought it was funny and nice based on the advertisements and trailers.
So I was wrong... Just like Quintin introducing us Babylon AD because the advertisement is nice hahas!

After that we went to play pool at Concorde Hotel building
It's my first time playing pool, so I suck at it pretty much
But beginner's luck was on my side xD
I didn't expect that pool was so fun lols.

After that we went to shop around City Hall Area.
I've bought another new shirt for $55, quite expensive.
Feel like returning it back and exchange for another design
Cause I like the other shirt colour/design which is at the same price too
So I unwrapped the shirt at home
and was surprised that I didn't notice how they tie that metal with string thing
So I guess I have to head down back to the shop tomorrow again
Because no matter how I tried to DIY
It still looks ugly haha
Perhaps I will consider that white collar shirt tomorrow =x
Going to shop for shoes at Queenstown most probably on Saturday as well

My EZ-Link card ran out of value today
Didn't bother to top up as my card expires on the last day of the month
Which is only like 1 or 2 days for me to use up that new $5 value

Nothing much to post about.
Wishing all JAE students good luck and get into the course you want! =D

Last day of work!

2009-01-29T01:15:00.000+08:00

Today's the final day of my work as a cashier at AMK Blk 122 Sheng Siong Supermarket.
Don't miss me!!! Hahas...

Thinking about how I started, it's actually quite a long run.
Initially the toughest part was to memorise the codes for fruits and the prices of the vegetables. Vegetable is harder at the start as I could hardly recognise & differentiate it at the beginning.

After about 1 week of work, I'm done memorizing with fruits. Another week passed and I managed to memorise the vegetables. Now they are like friends to me; whenever I see them I knew their price/code and their names if I can ever recall.

Money is the most important thing as a cashier!
My records are quite clean most of the time.

Only 2 major mistakes:
- Short by exactly $10
- 2 books of Night Parking Coupon ($2) worth $20 sold it as 1 book ($10), chief cashier paid $5, I paid the other $5.

The rest are just minor cases, such as short by or more than $0.10~$1

Best business done was during CNY period, I can't believe I've handled $10K of cash on that day. Balance was incorrect at the end of the day; short by 50 cents.

During this period I've also learnt to use the NETS machine, kinda fun.

Today's the last day for quite a lot of people...
Tze Jie, Joel, the Trainees from China and of course me myself.
Received quite a few ang paos there as well~

Sigh of relief~

Tomorrow going out with Tze Jie, Joel and Glenn.
It's time for Joel and I to shop for some new shoes!
Playing pool tomorrow as well after the movie,
but it's the first time I'm playing pool! (Don't laugh -_-)
Guess I'm gonna suck at it very much

Ok it's time for me to have a good night rest for some fun tomorrow =]

A Long Day

2009-01-25T20:13:00.000+08:00

Today's the second last day of my work (:

All the afternoon shift staffs have to work from 3-7.
3 to 7pm? NO! It's 3pm to 7am!
It's really busy from 3 all the way until 12:30am.
And I met Gerwyn again...

Some customers came at around 6am and was surprised to see me again at the same counter. Got one uncle asked if I still recognised him, but I was unable to answer because I really can't recall already. Got one auntie asked if I slept or not, then the morning shift auntie beside me replied back that she had a good sleep last night. Lols wadever never mind...

I wasn't really happy with the attitude of that Asst. Chief Cashier when my counter is closing.

First of all she finds that my void bills are troublesome, blaming me for no reason. After closing the counter she actually commented that my counter looked like mud! At that moment I was really angry, but I was really restless and didn't have the energy to fight back with her. Too bad she didn't knew how messy the counter was IN THE AFTERNOON, and I took a bloody 2 hours to clean up the mess all around the counter, stock up everything nicely etc, even Joel and other staffs also know that, and her comment/remark really hurts a lot.

I swear the counter looks 80% cleaner than USUAL, perfect and waiting for business to start rolling in. From this moment onwards I really hated her a lot. And yes she is a completely newbie in comp, just because the programme refuse to close and she just went straight to restart it -_- Even when looking through the bills she was like scrolling up and down and up again. I wonder how she got her position today...

Anyways Joel and I went to eat Macs for breakfast, apart from that cup noodle we ate at 4am.
Slept for 6 hours straight, and I'm really bored!

PPP's coming, that's great =P

New Chapter

2009-01-21T02:32:00.000+08:00

Yes, I'm watching it LIVE from Channel Newsasia.

Congratz to Barack Obama for being the 44th president of USA.
His speech was terrific and influential as well.
I didn't really catch the meaning of the poem by the poet after his speech, but that doesn't really matter hahas.

I took a taxi to workplace again after taking Bus 13 and alighting at the RI bus-stop. By then it was already 2:45PM. Luckily I didn't continue to take the bus, cause the staffs complained that the road works caused a massive traffic jam for about 20+ minutes for the journey towards there. Same quirky feeling when riding a cab, my heart aches as the price rises. Finally reached there at 2:53PM, 7 mins from being late. Today's work was easy and light as compared to previous days. My balance at the end of the day was + (more by) 15 cents, which isn't really important. Heard that Saturday is gonna be a tough day for all staffs!!! We have to work from 3PM all the way till 7AM in the morning the next day. A bit insane huh? The FZ staff even worse, friday wrok night shift 11-7, then saturday work 3PM-7AM, I wonder if she can even tahan it lols.

Met Gerwyn again, gave him a whole stack of ang paos and a small red bag, which is only limited to 1 ang pao and 1 bag per purchase of over $30, but do you think I give a damn? Hahas after I gave that to Gerwyn the previous customer asked how much does she need to spend to get that ang pao and bag. I went silent lols =x So I just heck care her and continued my job as usual. Though my counter don't sell cigarettes, but you can pay for cigarettes at my counter, but it depends on how you gonna get that cigarette from Counter 1 first hehe... As for beer and alcohol drinks just bring to my counter and I will sell it to you regardless of your age. Wahahaha. I'm breaking all the laws and rules =x

Ok it's late now. Time to grab some rest before I begin next day's work =)

A Break! Finally...

2009-01-19T00:00:00.000+08:00

I'm so glad that I managed to get my off-day today.

The first thing which I did for the day was to watch movie together with Thomas and Saw Yang at Vivo. As usual, I'm late by about 20 minutes because I only woke up at 10:40 when we were supposed to meet at 11 lols. Together we watched Twilight, which was released for quite a long time, but we didn't really have the time to watch it. Twilight was definitely great! Totally different from what I would have expected. Everything in that movie seems so cool, though it's a bit "lengthy and draggy" at the start. It's not really very much into fantasy, but every action seems to be taken from a very unique perspective, not to mention the male & female lead, it's awwweeesssomme! 4/5 stars for that^^

After the movie we went to eat at Food Republic before walking about Vivo. Passed by Adidas, Topshop, Desigual etc. Every item seems so expensive over there =x We went home at about 3:30PM.

Hey, it's still early!

My family went out for dinner at night together with my uncle and aunt for "Early Reunion Dinner", since most of us are working even on the day when we should eat our reunion dinner. It was the restaurant located at the old Toa Payoh interchange. The dish which I loved the most would still be that sambal Kang Kung xD Ate 3 bowls of rice and 1 bowl of porridge. I don't really like to eat porridge, but my parents said that the porridge over there was the best in Singapore. In the end I didn't really enjoyed that bowl of porridge =( I'm more used to the porridge which is less diluted and more "broken", otherwise it just feels like eating some soft rice with water over it. Ewwwws.

Tomorrow's work again, and I'm getting more and more bored!
Just glad that I've found yet another new template for Varonz, hope you guys like it.

That's all. Bye.

Crazy week

2009-01-17T02:03:00.000+08:00

This week was a complete mess!

I'm so tired and restless now. There just seems so many things happening at the same time. Probably that's the reason why I'm always kept busy.

O Levels was fine, I managed to get into my course via DPA, so it's actually something which would happen and has actually happened, so not much of a surprise anyway. Just glad that I have 1A, 5B and 1 C6 (thanks to my atrocious English), but it's just wierd that I got a B3 for my Literature hahas. Perhaps I am able to express myself and my thoughts better through words...

Workplace is seriously like hell. Totally no break for this week, 7 days fully occupied. My "Hard-working Pay - $80" for January has already flown away, since I'm late for just freaking 3 minutes. Late again and they will dock off from my pay. It's not me who wished to be late -_- Blame the bus driver instead!

2 website projects are still far from completion. NCC (Air)'s website is still half-updated, Varonz website is totally untouched so sorry about that, but I really love the concepts etc done by you great people. I will start working on Varonz website tomorrow, hopefully.

For Monday I may have to swap with Tze Jie cause he's not available during morning while I'm not available during evening, so it basically means that I have to work as normal on Sunday till I reach home at about 12 midnight, sleep for 5-6 hours before heading back to work again at around 6:30AM. Suddenly I feel that I'm like a robot lols. Today I made to work at 2:28PM, 2 minutes from being late again. Glad they announced again that we would have to reach workplace by 3PM from tomorrow onwards. As Joel says, complacency!!!! Great that Joel is working at the back where there's hardly any people over there. At my side the queue is non-stop, 4-8PM especially, don't even have time to take a short break.

OK I'm beginning to type crap again... My brain just can't turn well at this junction. Looking at the files Bryan sent me for Varonz now. Good nitez sleep well...

Busy Day

2009-01-10T01:37:00.000+08:00

Today's work can be described as crazy and tired!
I can't even rest for a single second until 9 plus. My legs were so numb. The staffs said that more people will be patronizing in another few more days as it approaches Chinese New Year.

Today I met that unreasonable customer again. That time she tried to rip off $1, and I didn't allow that to happen, but my chief cashier gave her that $1 in the end. Guess what? The chief cashier had to fork out her $1 at the end of the day to balance the sum. I'm left speechless for that. Today she tried to rip off 10 cents, like lols, but there's 3-4 staffs standing close to me at that point of time, so this time round everyone took extra precaution against her, including me (obviously). The atmosphere just felt so weird when everyone is starring and guarding against her!

Was shocked to find that I was short by $19.70 at the end of the day, but luckily it balanced again because that $19.70 bill was void but I didn't keep a record of it, ended up having to submit a report saying that the receipt was thrown away~

Great news for Joel, he had so little customer for the whole day as compared to me!

Speaking about Pet Society in Facebook, you guys should realise that I'm that god-like level 34, because I simply rule within 5 seconds =P

Varonz meeting is set on a date which I can't make it again ,sadly... Because the chief cashier and manager is kinda frustrated about me choosing my off-day, as it makes their life harder as they have to choose people to replace me for that day, so ya I doubt I can make it on that meeting again. Very sorry! But no worries I'm free from February onwards until Feb 6.

That's all. Byes. Nightmares! <3

Pre-PPP Programme

2009-01-08T22:00:00.000+08:00

I woke up late again, as usual...
The Pre-PPP programme starts at 11AM, and here I am sleeping soundly until 10AM!
It was a super-rushing-morning and I left the house at 10:30AM, reached the bus-stop outside at 10:42AM, knowing that I'm late again for sure. I waved for taxi desperately by the main road, but there's just no taxi in sight -_- But... out of nowhere, beside me, an empty taxi turned out from Siemens building! I felt so blessed at that instant =P

Sitting inside a taxi doesn't give me any comfort at all. My heartbeat rate follows the fare meter which is rising by 20 cents (not 10 cents anymore) every 15 seconds or so. Finally reached TP campus at 10:56AM, then met Marcus at the bus-stop before we head to the lecture hall. The phrase was actually right, "Guys, don't be late. EVERYBODY is WATCHING when YOU ARE LATE!", because the lecture hall just resembles a small-size cinema hall, just that the height between each row of seats is much higher, so it feels wierd when Marcus and I went down the stairs to mark our attendance in front with so many curious eyes starring at us (not to mention the way back from the front back to our seats at the highest row). But luckily we came in by the back door, so not many people noticed our arrival.

3 course to choose from: Public Speaking, Creative Writing and Japanese
I chose Japanese which is the same as Marcus's choice, I wanna learn Jap!^^

After the course selection, we went for some ice-breaker games before heading to visit the Open House. The ice-breaker game seems to make us even confused rather than making us knowing more about one another, hahas...

We visited the studio at Business School tour, followed by a really funny short-play in one of the lecture halls. Finally we arrived at the booth in IT school, which isn't really that "attracting" and "vibrant" as other courses =/

I can't wait for my results on Monday! I just wish that I pass my English, Maths and score 15 points and below. Other than that I have no other requests =P

Start of a new year!

2009-01-07T01:21:00.000+08:00

Time really passes fast! I couldn't believe I'm already in 2009 hahas.

I saw Gerwyn while I'm working halfway, walking past without even greeting me until I have to shout at him "Gerwyn Ho!", and his mom is behind him =/ "Good" son has to help his mummy carry the things back =P

Really tired and busy, partially because of my work schedule, but I'm just glad that there's double-pay day, such as Christmas and 1 Jan etc. I even received a leather wallet from the lucky draw between working staffs during christmas at my working place, which I gave to my dad. I'm such a filial son hahas.

Currently working on NCC (Air)'s new website, which is going to launch soon, with new features such as online updating and registration. This really means good news to Admin people, because the data can be downloaded into one excel file with just a click =P

I'm still trying to find time to settle Varonz Fashion, probably straight after developing the website for NCC (Air) first. I viewed the layout sent by Bryan, really interesting, fresh and nice!!!

Ok I'm going to sleep...

Relieve

2008-12-29T01:43:00.000+08:00

It's finally my break tomorrow! <3

Feeling very restless now!!! I joined on Monday and was only notified that my break is on Monday at around Wed or Thurs, so I have no choice but to work for the whole week =(

Left home to work at 1PM. Reached the MRT station at 1:10PM. Waited for Bus 853 which never comes... Forced to take Bus 13 which arrives only at around 1:30PM, reached the workplace at around 1:54PM. 6 more minutes to 2PM where my salary would be decreased by a whooping $80! Heng.

I'm done with memorizing most fruits and vegetables, whoopeeeee! I also get to use my personal code for my counter today, feels great! Today was the same as yesterday, my sums were balanced =P

Heard from my kind assistant (YH) that the Chief Cashier was praising me for being a fast learner =) I'm fine working with all the staffs except that particular evil assistant who taught me on my first day (and assisted me on my fifth day). She is cunning and black-hearted inside, thus I have to be extra cautious with her, though she looks normal! Heard that she was the one who complained about another female student staff who used her handphone at the counter =x I was also told that information that comes out from her mouth are all lies and she hardly talks to other people.

Speaking about the fifth day, she purposely waited for me to use YH's code instead of her own code. FYI, YH and her are enemies, so she took this oppurtunity to revenge against her! I used YH's code to open the counter instead of using her code, since she's standing there and not willing to tell me her code, and I was forced to use YH's code in the end, since customers are already waiting for me to open the counter.

During worktime, she purposely scan all the items super fast like ultra robot, seriously. Besides that, items by all sorts of customers were placed everywhere on the "table" to the extent that I can hardly differentiate which items belongs to which customers. It was total chaos and madness!!! Thanks to her "quick" work, I lose about $3+ at the end of the day. I pity YH because her name was blacklisted (instead of mine) once because of this, and I'm part of the cause for it. Felt terrible for her, because she has sustained balanced sums at the end of the day for more than 2 months straight =/ Thanks to that cunning staff, my neck is tired and pain, partly because the monitor screen is on my right instead of directly in front of me (my counter is the most special one), so whenever I scanned an item I would have to turn my head to my right, then turn back, turn right again etc.

Tomorrow it's both YH and my break day! YH's birthday is also tomorrow, Happy Birthday to her =)

Wierd Dreams

2008-12-26T12:12:00.000+08:00

Woke up today to find that everything was a dream...

First I dreamt of O Levels in 3 days time, and I haven't even study anything at all. =/
After that my dream diverted to my Primary 6 class going to watch a movie at Golden Village "Gold Class", the ticket seems as if it's made of gold. Hahas.

Guess I'm just too tired to get these stupid unrealistic dreams >_>

Spent Christmas working WTF lols, but yesterday was fine and I've collected
an extra 95 cents! Opps =x Poor customer...

2008-12-24T00:00:00.000+08:00

Didn't blog recently as I'm really very tired after work! =(

Met an unreasonable customer today which made me and my assistant aka my teacher-in-charge who is guiding me very very angry with them. First they said they wanna buy this, and a second later they changed their mind after the item has been scanned, so it's like WTF okay... because it's a bit difficult to cancel off scanned items. Endure... Then still complain this and complain that. The assistant kindly told her that 1 tub of "that" ice-cream is $8+ and 2 tubs of "that" ice-cream only costs $9+ - it's a promotion and we ought to tell customers such informations - but she like so buai song say "No no! I don't want!" People kindly tell her got offer also kena scolding... I pity my assistant! Before the couple left, they scold the assistant why never help them wrap up the BIG toilet roll in plastic bag, then the assistant and I were like "Hello? You can carry it by hand!!!". Bo pian the assistant help them wrap in plastic bag, then behind still got a lot of people waiting, they think they like golden vip members like dat, act so big for nothing, that's why I despise serving such customers the most. Thus this has proven that customer is not always right!

Ok I rant so much about that incident lols...

At evening the dinner was a buffet, while at night there's a lucky draw for both permanent and temporary staffs, and of course temporary staff don't get the prizes that expensive as compared to those given to permenant ones. So lucky for me to choose the number "1" lols, and I got myself a black leather wallet together with a small "key holder" wallet, which I gave to my dad since I'm not going to use it. Joel got a house phone, not sure whether it's portable or not. I don't think Tze Jie got any prize, since he's working in the morning shift, and he turned up specially for the buffet at evening hahas.

The rain doesn't seem to stop =/
Best-seller for the day is probably the snow flakes thingy, 3 for $2.80 only.

Ok! Good night... sleep.... no excuses for not working on christmas day =x

Joyous Moments

2008-12-21T18:27:00.000+08:00

I was playing Drift City today when x33(something) whispered to me. PS I forgot your wonderful name! At first he didn't reveal his identity, so I just ignored him lols.

After 5 minutes...

The whole gang of players from Singapore whom I knew welcomed me back^^
So warming <3 Hmm thanks Taka, Legendary, Kirby and many others!

Yeah I saw Kirby's photo for winning the Drift City event at PC Bunk xD

Anyway I'm still stuck at level 74. Many many drastic changes happened over a year.
Mittron Enhancer was divided into N Mittron Enhancer, S ME and H ME. i was like wtf lols, not to mention the price of H ME as compared to previous times. Next was the docking part. I was totally confused at first, because the whole docking concept is brand new, but I manage to understand it better as I continue to play on. My amount of money is still stuck at somewhere around 600k, despite me auctioning things. 400k more to Arena!

I'm going to start working tomorrow, from 2-10pm. OMG lols 8 hours of shiokness.
But the sad thing is I have to work 6 days a week =(
Time to quit myself from sitting in front of the comp for about 10 hours everyday!

Hmmm Xmas Theme Blogskin for Samzy...
Maybe I will come out with it when I'm free hahas.
First time trying to make a santa template so it may be horrible, beware!

Ok I'm really full of crap these days.
Quintin's gone to London, wonder when he's coming back Singapore again...
Amos called me to go out on Saturday at Vivo for shopping with Samzy and other friends, but I doubt I'm able to make it, since it's hard to get a job leave on saturday, or is it even possible in the first place? O.o

Same goes for Primary School Outing also, I don't think I'm able to accompany all of you to the lunch on Tuesday. Apologies for that, unless I manage to get my leave on tuesday <3

That's all I have, and thanks Marcus for the schedule!
All of you interested also right? Ok lar I shall post it here <3

Shhhhhhh don't tell others haha!

Terrible Horrible Vegetable!

2008-12-21T01:24:00.000+08:00

So after I've managed to play Drift City, I'm disappointed that my skills are all gone. WTF! In all the battle races, it's either me getting the last position or I didn't even finish the race at all. I even lose to players who are lower level than me. I'm hopeless -_- However I'm glad that I leveled up to 74, because when I left, the level bar is already 95% hahas. Wadever! Don't feel like playing already la hahas...

2 job offers came to me today. Wow. Shan't elaborate on that, but I've already chosen 1 of it, so I'm working from Monday onwards. Finally I'm gonna get my muscles and brain cells moving after a very very long time!

Nites. Nightmares! Sweet dreams won't work <3

Getting some life

2008-12-19T23:36:00.000+08:00

AuditionSEA server finally got better, but I'm still sick of the game...
Went to participate AdoreME and AdoreYOU's Love Party at night.
Congratz to the Adorable couple for their success =P

I'm currently downloading Drift City again, can't bear to leave my level 73 account there for more than a year untouched! (Hoping to get Arena V9 car soon) Same thing goes for Soldier Front, but I didn't enjoy that game very much and I don't even plan to play that again, even if given the chance to hahas! Actually I started the map hack in Soldier Front =P Don't believe? Check MPGH & Gamerzplanet forums. OWNAGE!

Ok wadever I'm sick of hacking Soldier Front already!

I've been typing lots of craps recently.
Please tolerate with it until my mind gets clear and running actively again =/

And yeah, my smart mother went to throw away my admission stuffs for Temasek Polytechnic next year. Luckily the enrollment notice still there, otherwise I would be dead, literally.

Hoping that Marcus would tell me the schedule for Jan - Apr 09 soon =)

Mixed Feelings

2008-12-18T20:36:00.000+08:00

For now, I'm starting to cherish the times we had in Secondary 3 and 4.
Time passes fast without waiting for us. So sad...

So bored at home staring at my monitor for the past few days!

AuditionSEA is lagging very badly, not sure about other Asiasoft games yet.
Speaking about Audition, I'm just glad that I'm one of the winners for AuditionSEA Season 2 Craziest Dancer Quest. As a result of that, I'm receiving the exclusive Piano DJ Deck for 30 days.

Out of curiosity and boredom, I've created another blogskin based on the wallpaper "Energy Bliss". The coding is gonna be hard for this template design =x

I doubt I will be releasing it soon, too lazy to do anything these days!
Hope that the situation would change soon!

Beyond the Horizon

Your support would be appreciated!

I'm bored!

2008-12-16T12:00:00.000+08:00

Wednesday's outing was canceled due to some reason...
Thanks to Leon who made me felt so guilty conscious about it =(

So now I have nothing to do during the December holidays!
I wanna go out for some shopping spree soon...

This afternoon Saw Yang called me and he said "This is Saw Yaaaaannnn", I thought who was that hahas. He asked me to go out with Amos and him, probably Thomas too, for this weekend, but I rejected it =/

Anyways I'm gonna start working soon!
It's either end of December or next year, hope I will get updated about it soon.

And thanks to Nelson, Gerard, Quintin and Leon for the "wonderful" chat over msn for the past few days!
