It has been very long since i updated my blog, sorry about it.

Tonight, my results will be out~. Hope I see nothing depressing

I went for my class bbq ytd and its quite sad that the whole thing ended quite early~, about 8+ i think. But the food was nice, especially the chicken made by Shafeeq. The rest was quite ok. Less than half of my class turned up but its ok as at least, it is not 4 or 5 people only. Most of my classmates + my Eugene's friends left at about 8+. Only left Ashlyne, Ceclia, Fang Yi and me and we played cards till about 11+. OK, NOW ABOUT GOING HOME.... I wanted to take a bus to Bedok Int and than switch to 854, so i took 196 from there. I board the empty bus and went to my seat, hoping that i can catch the last bus in time, but than the "nice" uncle drove the bus so FREAKING SLOW. I wanted to go straight to him and say, "Uncle, can you please drive faster?" but than i didnt. I tolerated until the end of the ride, hoping that i can catch my last bus and LUCKILY, i manage to catch the last bus IN TIME.

Now, I'm working for Mount E Hospital. But i not working in the hospital. Is it too confusing? I'm during data entry work for these past 3 days. Work so far is boring. My supervisor brought me around the hospital to have a look what the hospital is lucky. Actually.. i didnt like it... because i dont like visiting hospitals...

Hm... nothing else for me to type i guess.... just dont feel well and cannot focus when typing all these because i only slept for one hour today. i slept from 8 till 9 am than went to help out in the open house. gonna help out in the open house (hopefully will be able to meet xnechx, DA friend, and be able to pry Yul's bro out from his house to see the open house =X) tmr afternoon and sat morning.

recently went for TC (Twisted Circle, my guild for most of the game that i play) outing with CK, aRiEs JiE, Vale, Dot, Flames, Barney and one more guild member whom i met her for the first time who also brought her niece. We ate at Suntec, actually intended to go Marche to eat, but it was under renovation, so ended up eating at one of the restaurant near the fountain of wealth. I ordered the chicken and is NICE, very tender and juicy. After that, met up with Kun and head to TPY to play pool.

not forgetting the outting with my fav class at all times, 5N3~~~~~~~~~~~. Went to Marina to have steam boat bbq dinner. Dear went with me to the dinner also :D. ok back to the topic, i thought that we should be going to zheng fa huo hai xian to eat, but ended up at pin xian because they took the shuttle bus that was directly outside the MRT when they should have taken the SBS bus. Went there ate alot. after eating went to PS to meet Justin, Matthias, Patrick and Marcus. anyway, hope to regain the 5N3 spirit back, realize i wasnt enthu in the recent outings but i am very happy to see you all in the marina bbq. adam help to organize more ~~~ btw wanna inform you all the new sec school pe tshirt is nice, i going to buy 2 i think. anyone else wanna buy, there are 4 colours, orange blue red and 1 more colour which i forgot =X.

the past few days is horrendous.... almost lose my wallet and hp forever... i left shereen house and took bus back home, 851 or 852 (i forgot which one) than switch to 812. when i came down 812, i realise that my pocket was very light and found out that i lost my hp. quickly run to yishun bus terminal to check whether they receive any lost hp, but than no luck. i went home and called my own phone. luckily someone picked up the call and said she is going to pass it to the bus driver, than i said dont~, she said she cant hear me... lol that frighten me because it sounded as if she is faking and wanna take the phone permanently. than i shouted at the phone DONT PASS IT TO THE DRIVER. she heard and say than she is going to pass it to the 7 11 opp. of safara country club. when i hear that, i was wondering if she is trying to trick me and waste my time to go there, but anyway i went there and ya got back my hp :D. the sad thing is she didnt leave her no., but only her name, Aisha i think =X

the same day, dear told me that "Aisha" phoned her and said that she was going to pass the phone to the ppl in 7-11 opp. of safara.

yesterday, the same bad thing happened, i almost lose my wallet. it poped out of my jeans. but this time i found out that it poped out of my jeans before leaving the bus.

NYPGA (Nanyang Polytechnic Graduation Association)

2006-11-24T08:04:00.000-08:00

had a busy week, dont even have time to blog... given 6 projects and still have them at hand, non-completed.

anyway, went to CW hotel on Sat 18/11/06 to perform the german traditional dance and the beetles dance. Shereen and i wore black totally for that day. we looked as if we were going for a wedding dinner. first i thought we were suppose to meet at 2+ at S523 to practice dancing, but dear said it should be 3 not 2. ya she was right, we went there at 2+ and no one was there. so in order to pass our time, we practice dance ourselves outside at the level 5 ent, and we were trying to avoid the camera that was facing the entrance while dancing so to prevent the security from thinking "What the hell are those 2 people wearing so black dancing at level 5 of school of engineering". for your information, the level 5 door requires an admin card from someone from school of engineering to enter instead of someone from school of chemical and life sciences.

when it was 3, we saw frau coming out from the lift and we were able to enter. we practiced till about 4 and changed to our costumes. i had trouble when changing to my german outfit. i cant seem to get a pants that can fit me and have all the buttons intact. because of that i was the last one who finished changing into the german costume. after that, we went there by coach.

i forgot what time we reached there but it was very cold there. our dance was scheduled at 8.05 and we had to be ready by 8. we danced and frau said it was nice, i guess it was nice to her but dont know how the rest of the audience felt...

anyway we changed to our personnel costume after the dance and went back to enjoy rest of the day, and not forgetting the FOOD. when we were back at our seats, the mushroom soup that was served was already cold... after that we were served with food like salmon and the deserts, all are super nice, wish that i could have them everyday j.k.

the thing that really let me enjoy the day was the mc for the night. he is a super good mc. he know alot of languages (english, malay, chinese) and dialects (hokkien, cantonese). this was something that happened which made me remember the most. he told the audience to write our name in a small piece of paper and put it into a buckets for lucky draw. he went to get the buckets at the time for the winners for the lucky draw to be announced and pick the winners.

he placed the buckets onto the podium and after that he told the audience "i told you guys to write your name in a SMALL piece of paper. those big piece one, i dont want" so he searched the buckets for big pieces of paper. he searched and he found a few. one of them was an A4 size paper with a name writen on it (you will know whose name is it later). he took it out and said "this person use an A4 size paper. next time when you go voting, you try write your vote in A4 paper and go put inside the box." as he threw that one away, he found one that was half an A4 size paper and said "this fella has only half of that person's dream" lol... if you get what it means.

after some of the prizes were given away, some "lucky" person named Tan Hui Kiang was one of the winner for the prize. nothing is wrong for him to win the prize. but as the other prizes were given away, the mc suddenly realize something. the name Tan Hui Kiang was also written on the A4 size paper that he threw away. but he didnt tell him to return the prize. afterall it was already given to him. after more prizes were given away, he came across another small piece of paper and said in hokkien "Wah, Tan Hui Kiang ko chi bai" (translation: Wah, Tan Hui Kiang again) than he said "Li nang chap a lang loh zhong xia Tan Hui Kiang ke photocopy pang ti lai bin ar" (translation: you all 10 person all write Tan Hui Kiang go photocopy and put inside ar) each table has 10 ppl. after that he went behind the podium and said while pointing at the speaker "kang teng wa kua tio Tan Hui Kiang koh zhi bai le ka wa gia chi ki simi ka wa tun loh ke" (later i see tan hui kiang again, i want you to swollow dont know what you call this).

he continued to announce the winners for the prizes and a lucky winner of 04325 was called. but no one went to claim the prize. he kept announcing "04325" but no one answered. than when he said "04325 you mei you", a reply was given to him "MEI YOU!" and it only came from our table lol... than he said, "you bu shi ni na de dang ran mei you la"

the dinner ended at 11 that night and it was really fun and really enjoyed it. hope that i can go for this dinner again next yr.

for now, no time for fun i guess... got to plan and do alot of projects/tutorials/revisions. all of us must jia you!

some pics taken on that day:

Tired....

2006-11-11T07:15:00.000-08:00

went to sch for german dance practice with shereen today. we were suppose to meet other members at 10, but we were late. both of us reached there are about 10.30 and only saw su zhen and another member. guess we werent the only one late. the president of the club, melissa, was also late and most of us gathered at 11 at mac and went to block E to practice the dance.

when we reached block E, most of us were slacking around till we saw frau soebekti and 2 unfamiliar faces walking behind her. they are modern dance instructors. they showed what are the steps of the german dance and OMG, it is beyond what we expected. changing a normal traditional german dance to modern dance, i wonder why they called the "GERMAN" club members to dance when they can call ppl from "DANCE" club to dance the modern dance. anyway i am looking more towards for the food in the hotel rather than dancing =X. forgot to mention the dance is held at a hotel with course meals provided :D.

we slowly learnt the dance and it is difficult. no kidding... you dont see jumping and semi-splitting in traditional german dance, but you see it in the modern dance. i even cramped my leg muscle well doing one of the dance step. we practiced till 2.30 pm. after practicing, went straight to badminton. played stroking and matches non-stop till about 5+. my poor dear got bruises on the leg from the dance and had minor injuries. omg... i wonder when she can have day free from injuries. all of us than went to eat at amk hawker centre. after that i went to another badminton activity with yul's parents and their friends. as usual his dad remain his proness well i and yul's mum get thrashed... after than i tagged with ryan and played against someone whom i dont know his name and yul's dad... at the point where by the score was about 13-11, we were leading, i did a stupid smash which sprained my arm lol... the good thing was that only ryan notice, if not... we will be at disadvantage. anyway we won and i wasnt happy with it because yul's dad wasnt playing seriously. lol if he play seriously i will also wont be happy because i will lose. wonder what will make me happy. maybe if he dosent play at all will make me happy. after that i tagged with a young boy who is yul's cousin i think. we played against ryan and the person who's name i still dont know. we played 2 matches. lost the first 1 with score of 15-13 i think. but won the second one with deuce 3-0. no time to play the third match to decide whose the winner. hope we can do it next week. i wanted to give a 15-0 for both matches but guess my team lack of stamina =X. went back home and ate the delights bought by my beloved grandma. i still wonder till now, i often eat alot but my body mass remain the same...

Work work work

2006-11-02T08:34:00.000-08:00

Kbox

2006-10-31T15:46:00.000-08:00

went to kbox few days ago with ashlyne, daniel, jason. actually only intended to walk around orchard and beng lee and eugene tagged along. but after we went to kbox, they left. felt bad because they came with us for less than hour and went back.

i found out that i am getting out-dated with the songs. kept choosing the old songs. i gonna try and listen to the latest songs so that i can pick them for the next k session. we went during the klunch hour and food was provided and it was not bad. i found out that my singing sux now. jay you said that i am the same level as you, but i dont think so leh... had fun there and we went to slack and shop around till about 5.

Looking at myself

2006-10-30T04:24:00.000-08:00

realize that havent been putting up effort in my studies since end sem 1. guess i didnt set my priorities right which cause lots of work to pile up one after another that caused me to be stressed and unable to work well.

however, things gonna change thx to shereen. i am starting from the ground and building up after slacking for so long. thank you my dear.

The Visit

2006-10-24T07:37:00.001-07:00

went to visit my grandmother today. my mum and i reached there at about 12 + and we (+ my grandmother) went to bedok central to walk. they went to see the usual fortune teller while i went to browse on sports wear. the price of the sports wear are amazingly high. one badminton racket unstrung: $270. i think i can get a custom made one which i like at about less than $200. anyway, after my grandma and mum finished with the fortune telling, both of them were like discussing what was being told by the fortune teller which i am not interested about.

my grandma than went to buy durians at $5. the durian seller kept trying to ask my grandma to buy more at a offer price but she kept refusing until that guy give up and gave her durians that were selling at $8 instead. kinda weird, dont know why he ended up giving us the durian...

we went to a nearby coffee shop and enjoy the durians. *NOTE*: DO NOT COMBINE COCA COLA WITH DURIANS. i ordered coke and ate the durian, when i drank the coke, this was the first time in my life that the coke tasted like soda water.

anyway, after finishing the durians, we went to another coffee shop to slack. i went to order warm water for my grandma, on the way back to my table, i saw a couple looking and smiling at me. i felt kinda weird but didnt bother about it. my mum kept asking me to share with her yong tao fu because she wants to eat and cannot finish it but i kept saying i am very full (might be because of the "soda water"). but in the end i was ordering yong tao fu with her because the eldest in the table said: "i thought you wanted to order yong tao fu".
while picking the ingredients, i suddenly found out that my zip was open. that reminded me of why the coupled smiled at me. i went to the toilet and ended up seeing a table with coins and toilet paper and a person sitting down beside it. it wouldnt be wise for me to fork out money just to zip my pants. so i went back to my sit and look around and just zipped it. after that i went to meet shereen at about 5+ for dinner. i saw her notes in basic pharmacology and did some research on it on the net and poor dear, she gonna encounter many equations and terms in this module. week 2 since school started we are forseeing lots of work to be done. lets all work hard and happily pull through this second sem of yr 2 and proceed to the FINAL yr.

first time in ice skating

2006-10-16T06:44:00.000-07:00

PSI: 70+
will be going to ice skate today. went to meet dear, her name is shereen (for those who wanna know) at about 11. we were actually gonna meet eugene at the mrt but ended up meeting him in the arcade because we wanted to play tc 2. this time i manage to complete it with 2 credits.

after spending time in the arcade, we went to have lunch and went to meet li qiu at jurong east mrt at 1+ and head out to the ice skating area together. there was a price increment from $7+ to $14.70 per person. it was because of the school holidays, guess this is the best time to increase their income. surprisingly with the increment of price, there were still alot of ppl.

it was fun learning how to ice skate. slowly getting the hang of moving around on the ice. however the price to pay is falling alot of times, getting your pants and gloves wet and ppl staring at you. it was dear's second time in skating and she fell more often compared to her first time. eugene didnt enjoy much until he changed his skates to a plastic type with a fastening belt compared to shoe laces (i think this is how it is spelt). i skate for about 3-4 hours and rested awhile for the final hour of skating. than i realize that my leg was feeling uncomfortable all the while because i tied my skates to tightly and when i loosen it, i manage to enjoy the comfort for only an hour. i met jeremy loke's brother there too. he was like me, first time ice skating. he seem to be having alot of fun with his friends while skating and falling at the same time.

any way it was fun skating the first time. but not for dear because she fell more often and some of it were caused by other ppl.

anyway, we were planning to skate after about 2 months time. so that the price will go down and hoping that next time round, there will be more ppl skating with us.

First Blog

2006-10-15T03:02:00.000-07:00

First time blogging, dont know how to blog and what to blog much about. My dear wants me to blog so i blogged.

Was a hazy day (PSI:105) today and i am still having sore throat and slight flu, should be recovering soon. Played badminton with my dear and her house mate Arlene yesterday and manage to meet some new friends. One of them, Tak Cheong (i think this is his name) is good in badminton and taught me how to smash, but due to my lack of control, i still sux at it... anyway we are glad to meet them so that we can have a larger group of ppl to play with every saturday. we played doubles for 7 hours straight with all sort of doubles combination. those who wanna play badminton with us every sat feel free to come, we have range of players from pro to newbs (i am in the newb category) for you to play with. i am very exhausted, most of my body parts were aching. after that i just had dinner with dear and met up yulin, alvin, jeremy and lionel.

Today is another hazy day (PSI:110). Met up with my mum and listened to how her job interviews were going. after that met up with dear to eat lunch and went to arcade. i spent $12 on the arcade and she spent $30. we played time crisis 3 at first, which used up about $35 worth of credits. Both of our hands were to itchy. actualy we could have spend less than $35. but as we played the first round, i died first and she was having 2 life, when i was on my way to top up, she lost both life instantly and when i reached the counter, the nice and kind arcade attendent was busy with her paper work and said hold on, the only thing i could do is smile at her and wait for her to attend to me asap. by the time the top up was done, the 20 secounds countdown for us to continue at the same stage as ended and we had to continue the whole game again.... we tried the second time... this time was better because we toped up $10 while the first time was only $5, we were expecting to complete the game this time. fought through till the last stage and manage to defeat the second last boss before we spent finish $10 worth of credits. i was satisfied with the results but dear's hands were still itchy. so she passed me $10 to play again. in the midst of the game, she was scared that $10 was not enough and passed me another $10 to top up. we played through and cleared time crisis 3 using $12 worth of credits. RELIEF... finally finished the game... $8 left in the card and dear wants to play time crisis 2 now... we played and was able to clear the game using $5.50 worth of credits. after that, she was aiming for time crisis 4 and it was a very good thing that the second player was out of order, if not we will be like spending hm... $30 or maybe $40 in it. i feel so bad already having her spending so much already.

once i get my next pay, maybe we can play time crisis 4 together and complete it once and for all and wait for time crisis 5. in the mean time while waiting for tc 5, maybe we will play other shooting games.
