Post Chalet

2010-04-29T17:11:00.003+08:00

The 3 days chalet at Pasir Ris was damn fun. I think this is mostly thanks to my group of uni friends whom I am able to communicate with at ease and do crazy things. One regret is that we should have booked the chalet for a longer period and not only 3D2N. Because the BBQ was during the 2nd day, we were unable to do much things such as go bowling, star gazing, play cards, and HTHT. The 3rd day we have to check out by 11am so it became a bit rush. If we were to have at least 4D3N then we can use the 3rd day to rest and talk and chill and slowly pack up our things. But all in all, I really truly enjoyed the few days. I feel that chalet is a good place to get to know a person really well. In those few days you will be staying together and each hour that passes means you know that person a bit more.

However, because it is a chalet, we slept quite late so we were quite shag and tired during the 3rd day. Next time I shall propose that we sleep before 2am so that we can do other stuff in the morning and not so tired.

I really hope there will be another chalet with them some time before the start of school around July. This time, I will be the one saying that we should have a 4D3N chalet and do the stuff that we did not get to do this time.

Chalet

2010-04-24T10:31:00.002+08:00

Exams are over for 2 weeks but because I am lazy, I have not updated this blog since March. Monday going for chalet with my university friends! Yeah!! Very excited because I think it will be very fun because they are all a bunch of easy going and fun loving friends! Hahaha. I have only been to chalet once for one night during secondary school days but because the people I went with were not very close therefore I did not really enjoy the stay. But this time I will be staying over for 2 nights and I think I will be enjoying my stay this time!

This summer I don't know what to do during holidays. I hope to be able to secure an internship but until now I have not found one that I like or accept me. Haiz.

Stress level up

2010-03-17T11:32:00.002+08:00

The stress level is up! Hahaha. No kidding. My meow meow project is in deep shit. BUT I believe that I can handle it because I have a good friend in SMU who knows me well and will give me advices and comments. AND I have a friend in my team whom I know is able to handle things and I believe she is capable of all the stress. Haha. So while I busy myself with my internship interview, my piano exams, I will leave some of the problems encountered to my friend in the team. The other team mates are also my friend fyi but sometimes it is a kind of gut feel that tells you who to believe and trust in. Tomorrow is my internship interview. I shall try not to be nervous and cross my fingers in hope that I will be accepted. At night I have to keep practicing piano in order to pass my exam. BUT I know my friend in the team is also up to her neck with project work and stuff so after tomorrow, I shall be responsible again and take up half of the load so that she will not be too loaded.

As for the other game project, I am very lucky that my good friend is in my team so I entrust her with the report and strategy. In that team, there is another friend who is good in analyzing data so I hope he will do his very best also. As for me, well, I will wait until after next Tuesday to immerse myself back into THAT project.

I learnt a lesson. It is always good to be able to find another person who you are able to trust because when you don't understand, you will be able to ask her and vice versa. Also, when you feel like there is internal bleeding because you are unable to say something because you are afraid of spoiling the friendship in a group, it is always good to find someone you trust in and spill the beans.

Thank you. You know who you are and I appreciate it very much even though you may or may not read my blog.

Projects

2010-02-26T11:51:00.002+08:00

Without knowing it, my 1 week holiday is over. Next week is back to school again and I have a module called Finishing Touch on Monday. Have to wear formal clothes during classes for the rest of the Monday for another 7 weeks. Had a CAT meeting yesterday with dawn, beilin and meibao. After squeezing our brain juice, we finally came out with some problems that we think is feasible. HAHAH. The idea was thought out while I am squatting. =D

Different people grouping together really will have different fireworks. I have done 2 projects before with beilin during the past 3 semester. This semester, I have 2 new people that I am first time project-ing with. New meaning have not done project but still know each other. Anyway, it is quite an ease and fun having project meeting with logical and funny people. On one hand, she thinks logically (like me) and on the other hand, she can take jokes and is easy to understand. Well, among all my current friends in university, only one other person fits the category. HAHA. Of course it is rather difficult to find people you can click with immediately but when it is found, you will really want to keep the friendship going on and on even though there may be bumps around.

Anyway, back to yesterday. After CAT project, at around 3 plus, dawn asked me to tcc to eat because there is UOB offer. After she went to meet someone and then came back, she realized that her UOB debit card do not have money and want to find a cash deposit ATM. The problem with UOB is that there is very little such ATMs around. So, we walk past tcc and she point and point and well, what to do, no card, no discount. So we walk to PS to see whether is there any UOB bank there. Surprise, surprise, there was none. I gave her a very 无奈 face which says "why do you even have a debit card without money and no bank, too bad". HAHA. She started to explain and explain and finally after going up to the 5th floor and walking right back down to the basement the second time, we decided to go for pastamania. She surprised me by whipping out a small menu of pastamania and said that she is a fan of pastamania. Eat, eat, eat. All the time during eating, she was talking about food. Those who read will know that she is a FOODMANIAC - likes to eat, likes good food, know a lot about food etc. Well at least the journey of finding food to going home was rather interesting and not awkward.

So that is that. End of yesterday.

Rumblings

2010-02-22T11:12:00.002+08:00

Since it has been rather long since the last time I updated, I shall do 2 posts today.

I like to think of myself as being an optimistic person who is easy going and liked by people. But I understand that I am no such person. Sometimes I even wonder what and why am I doing. The emotions can fluctuate very quickly like a song. I don't know what others are thinking because I don't ask. I don't ask is because I think that if I am important to you then you will tell me. But then again, I know of people who because I don't ask then they don't say. So this chain effect sometimes lead me to think that the chemistry is depleting. I don't know why but one thing that I can be sure is that I am not very curious about many things. I just let things go right past me. I listen, I understand but the expressing part has always been a chore for me. Sometimes I also pity the people who are friends with me because I am seldom easily understood but I am someone who is easily cheered. Why this post? It is all because of a song. Haha. I am not emo-ing. Just evaluating on myself.

2010 CNY

2010-02-22T10:48:00.002+08:00

2010 CNY passed very fast. I think the main reason for this is that I have many exams and projects in the week of the CNY. Hence, cannot really enjoy CNY during the few days. Although I did went to many of my relatives' houses to bai nian, I will still be thinking of the work that I have left. But this week is my one week break. I think people are quite contradicting. When they are busy, they want holidays. But when they have holidays, they will be thinking of what to do in the holidays. I am one of them. Although it is only a one week holiday, it still feels somewhat strange that today I need not go to school.

Yesterday was my last paper - Business Processes. After that, I went to the temple and went to 2 relative house before going to my university friend's home to play. During so many years of CNY, this is my 1st time going to a friend house. There were 8 of us there in a study room playing different kind of games. It was really fun. I hope that during this week there will be one day that we will be able to play games together again before the hectic school reopen again.

Oh yeah, I have eaten a lot and I mean really a lot of new year goodies. Wonder whether I am becoming fat hahaha.

A mod is killing me

2010-01-14T12:19:00.002+08:00

Well, this post is really close to the previous one that I have typed. Just one day and I am here to blog again. Why is that so? As per the title, I have one module that is really going to kill me sooner or later. But I hope I will survive and EXCEL in it, of course. The module have everything to do with EXCEL and MODELLING. Not the kind of modelling that you see in Project Runways or the fashion show. It is modelling about the problems so that that person can enter in what they want to know and get exactly what they want to know. This sounds quite fun but the professor that I have is a newcomer, or rather, first time teaching this module. He is a Korean. Hence, he has an accent when he speaks. In addition to that, sometimes when he speaks too fast or he is too excited, some of his mother tongue language will appear. So in the end, I don't understand what he is teaching and he doesn't explain well. Always goes into extra time but still unable to finish what he planned to teach. Never really tell us how do we get certain numbers and now I am still figuring out why that row of numbers will appear. One example of his accent: Light --> Bright.

Woohoo. I think I am so going to have to use all my braincells for this semester.

To fattanah (the only person who continues to read my blog for I dunno what reason) -- Thanks =DDD

Long due post

2010-01-13T09:24:00.003+08:00

This post is supposed to be typed and posted a week or two ago. Procrastination took place.

This month, many things happen. Not exactly to me but they affect me. I think this month is a month of depression. Sometimes, it just can't be helped and unhappy thoughts start creeping into your mind. I think and feel that I am an invisible person. The only time that I am visible and being thought about is when there are questions that others don't know. That is the time when I become visible. Other than that, decisions are made on my behalf and some are not even told to me.

I think and feel that I am here just to make people happy. Not a clown but a happy person. I make everyone happy but no one make me happy. I can easily understand other people's emotions but they just can't seem to know what is going on with me.

I think and feel that I am here just to help people. Everyone is asking me to help them. Person A ask me to help Person B. Person C ask me to help him/her look through this and that. This goes on and on. Who is helping me? What is worst is that sometimes when the persons in question are in a bad mood and I just nice ask them a question, I am being scolded or shouted at. What does this means? I thought people who do good deeds will have good returns. It doesn't seems to apply to me.

During the past week, I have already slowly decreased my expectations of Person D. Punctuality - no. Promises given, not done. Decisions made, not told. Messages returned slow or seldom returned. I don't know what will happen if this keep up. Will I finally have no expectations at all for Person D? If that happens, what will be of us?

To be or not to be, that is the question - William Shakespeare

miscellaneous

2009-12-14T09:29:00.002+08:00

It is not a good day to be in if you are a Liverpool fan, more so if your Dad is an Arsenal fan. This is because Liverpool lost to Arsenal 2 - 1. My Dad was taunting me about how good is Arsenal team is regardless of the injuries they faced. Well, what to do, Liverpool have really lost. But hopefully, they will start to regain their composure and challenge the rest of the teams.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On another tone, last Saturday I went with my family to a BBQ organized by my cousin - my Dad's side. The BBQ is to celebrate his youngest son's 2 years old.

I remembered that just 1 or 2 years ago, I often dread going to the gatherings, not because I don't like them but because I don't know how to speak and listen to Hainanese. Hence, there is a communication gap between my uncles, aunties, cousins and me. Adding to that, majority of my cousins are in their late 20s, early 30s and going to 40. You can imagine the topics that they are talking and the topics that I am interested in. Also, we seldom see each other and the only time we meet is during CNY and other special occasions. On the other hand, I will not face such dreadfulness if it is concerning my Mum's side gathering because most of my cousins are around my age and we speak the same language.

However, there are many things happening during the past few years and I started witnessing the changes in the 2 distant sides. It seems that for my Dad's side, there is an invisible bond that tie us together no matter what happens. They are able to take things at stride and put things down easily. Things happened but up till today, I still see them smiling and talking at ease. On my Mum's side, things happened and a crack begin to form in the bond. Sometimes, I will guess whether is there any motives in them asking such questions or doing such actions. There seems to be a lot of motives going around which make it rather difficult to smile and talk at ease like what we did 3 to 4 years ago.

So now the situation changes. I look forward to going to BBQs held by my Dad's side relatives. Even though there may be communication error, they are a bunch of very friendly, real and honest people. The laughters are definitely what we see. As for my Mum's side, I don't dread going for gatherings but I don't look forward to it also. The main reason to gather for my Mum's side is to look at the little kids who don't have any motives and also to make my grandma (who knows a lot more about such things than you will think) happy.

I heard that there will be a Christmas eve BBQ again next week. Hopefully, there will be. I will really look forward to going and understanding the real meaning of family.

Taking time off

2009-11-14T12:48:00.002+08:00

Yesterday class ended at around 3pm. Instead of going back home to study for upcoming exams, I took the time off and tagged along with Friend A while she search for a birthday present. What inspired me for this post is not the process of searching but the 1 hour plus that we used to eat and talk in BK.

I have always been afraid. Afraid of losing myself while growing up. Losing what I first start off with. During each stage, I have always tried to evaluate myself on what I have lost during the stages. Sometimes, when a person keep focusing on an objective, they will change. They will forget the things that they really want. The changes may be drastic or insignificant. I know changes are inevitable. I have always known that. But I always hoped that I will not change too much such that friends wil feel that I am becoming a stranger. Up till now, I have achieved that. I am still the same person. The one that I, myself understand. However, I cannot guarantee that I can control the changes in me - my character. So, this post will be a reminder to me of who I am. If I really changed a lot, please scold me and bash me up.

My family matters to me. My close friends matters to me too.

Finding, finding, found ....

2009-11-10T08:49:00.002+08:00

Have you ever had the experience of losing something that was in your hand a minute ago? Yesterday, I had this experience. I was holding on to my ruler, drawing lines and the next moment, "poof" the ruler disappeared. I serched high and low for the ruler and even engaged my grandma to help me flip through my books in case the ruler was slotted in between the pages. But the ruler was not to be found. I flipped over the sofa and still, the ruler was missing. I gave up and went to bathe while my grandma continue to help me flip the books =D In the end, after I came out, I decided to re-search the ruler. To my astonishment, the ruler droped into the casing of the sofa cushion. Waste my time searching high and low for it. So the moral of this story is, always put your stationary in your pencil box.

HAHAHA.

Emo-ing ... For what

2009-11-08T07:27:00.002+08:00

I think this is the time of the day where there is nothing happening but still you will feel like emo-ing. Well, today's topic of the day is friends. I think I have written this ages ago which I have deleted. I think the content will be a little different.

I learnt from a MPW class that to persuade people, there is the principle of reciprocity. I think this is the same for friendship. If you think that Friend A is your best friend but Friend A thinks that Friend B is her best friend then Friend A is not your best friend. Well, some people may think otherwise but I feel that this is rather true. For me, best friend equals to the friend whom you will first think of when anything happens and the one whom you will look for when you have troubles. If you always look for Friend A when you have personal problems or troubles but Friend A has never or seldom turns to you when he/she have personal problems or troubles then there is no meaning in it. So with that definition, I conclude that I don't have best friend. I think I can safely say that other than studies wise or computer based questions or other advice questions, very little people will think of me as their first person to turn to when they have problems (of course family excluded). Sounds quite pathetic but this has always been the case since secondary school days or maybe in the late primary school days. I think this is not a fault of anyone but me because I am more of a listener than a talker. I don't ask people a lot of questions unless necessary and I think that if someone wants me to know certain information, they will tell me automatically. And even when they tell me, sometimes I have no idea how to react. Of course, if someone can answer all the questions below then I think that person is the one whom I always turn to when I have problems.

1. What is the most embarassing situation that I have come across in my kindergarden years

2. What primary school did I come from?

3. What is the one thing that happen during primary school that I will always come to regret?

4. What is the name of my family members?

5. Have you seen a picture of me during primary school days?

Even though I may not have a best friend, I can't deny the fact that I have several close friends and some, we try to keep in touch every month. Close friends are easier to find because after several years of studying together, you will automatically know the person's likes and dislikes. Even after that when you seldom see each other, once you gather together, you will know how to react to the actions that your friend takes. Also, there will not be any awkwardness when you meet, even after a long time.

Good friends are of course after close friends. Well, I have some good friends whom I have worked with. They are people who are good to talk to. But you will only turn to them when you have problems that are not so personal. They may be good friends now but you will never know whether after a long time apart, will you still be good friends or not. But the main thing is to enjoy now and not to think about next time.

I have many friends. The normal kind where you just talk about the weather and all but never on in-depth problems. These people normally have conversation gap with you. For me, when I am with normal friends, I will be afraid that when stop talking, there will be awkwardness in the air.

So, I am done with this piece of long and some emo-ing ranting. By the way, I am taking a mod on Doing Business in China (in Mandarin). I think that I should start writing in Chinese instead. But it will take maybe an hour or so to type out. Not that I want this mod... I think I can survive.

Eons

2009-10-30T17:44:00.002+08:00

It have been eons since I last updated my blog. I am guessing that most probably, there will be no one reading because those who read surely have already given up on me updating the blog. So here I am ranting on what happened to me this few weeks. Well, I have a wonderful birthday celebration by my family and my close friends. I am very happy and touched that at least my friends got celebrate hahaha (which I know they surely will). That aside, my MA project is taking a toll on me. I find myself constantly questioning myself, questioning others about how it should be done. All because there isn't much information provided to us. The prof seems to be quite fickleminded. Sometimes, he wants there to be this perspective then other times he don't like the perspective. I am feeling rather irritated at myself for not being able to think properly at how the project should be done.

Drama

2009-05-06T14:09:00.003+08:00

Being quite some time since I last written a post for the blog. Well, I am now on a holiday mood. To be precise, a 3 month plus holiday mood. If anyone got any temporary job available, feel free to tell me. Hahah. Anyway, exams over, now I am taking my time to relax and watch HK dramas. I found out that you can actually learn quite a lot from the dramas. I will try to observe to see how true they are. Hahah.

Recently just watched a show named "A Change in Destiny". This show is about predicting the future. From the past, the Chinese always had a book which predicted the future outcomes. This show talks about how the Emperor wants to have this book to prevent disasters and at the same time to continue his regime. Another part of this show is about how two person with the same birth date and time but with different fortune looks at wealth. One is born to a wealthy family whereas another one is an orphan. Both know about this book and met a fengshui master who is the holder of the book. They uses fengshui to change the outcome of several situations. The wealthy one got framed by other people and causes the whole family to lose everything. At this point in time, he knows something about the book and because of another fengshui master, he is made to believe that he should be the one at the throne. He uses all his might and even resort to marrying the princess when he is already married to another girl. He wants to be rich, he wants power. He even tried to kill his own father but lucky the orphan helped him. At last, he did not become the Emperor and instead, become mad. Even in his madness, he still dreams of becoming the Emperor.

How true it is. Look at the people around us. Read the newspapers and you will find that when it comes to wealth and power, people will do whatever they can to not to lose it or to get it. What can be learn from this show is actually from the orphan. Despite being poor, he is adamant at upholding his principles such as helping the old. Simplicity is the key towards being happy. When we have the wealth and power, we should use it wisely. It should not make us become proud. If we fail and fall, we should learn from the mistake and work from the scratch. There is no such thing as and overnight windfall unless you are the director and you are shooting the movie. We can change our destiny. But not by plotting other people downfall. We change our destiny by working upwards. Wealth and power can make a person mad. It can cause a person to change. As long as we uphold our principles, remember our roots, we will not change.

Busy Busy week

2009-03-25T13:54:00.002+08:00

Hello peeps. Today I get some time out to update on this blog. Why? Because I just bought a keyboard protector and am trying to get used to it and see whether is it nice to use. Well, not bad. I quite like the feel of it. It is not difficult to type but sometimes you have slip out here and there. Hmm. Nice overall.

Anyway, back to my life. Yesterday had a meeting for my BGS project until 10pm. Guess what? I am not the last one to leave the school. There are actually other people who have not finish their project discussion and are still doing in the project rooms. I think is the SMU - in thing. Whatever. Damn tired lor. Other people taking BGS and have a different prof says BGS is a damn slack mod. But this is not my case. Haiz. I don't know whether is this lucky or unlucky. Unlucky because it is very very taxing. Lucky because, to tell you the truth, I really did learn something from his class and I think presenting in front of external discussants is a good way to build up confidence level. Well. What to do? I have no say over these things and I did not bid for it. Bye

Busy Busy

2009-03-05T13:20:00.002+08:00

It is the time of the day again where I am being piled up with projects. Mostly group projects. The worst thing is many, if not all, are scheduled to due and present on the week 13. So, expect not to see me surfacing for quite a while as I take a very long deep breath and go under the pile of projects. Hopefully I don't get internal bleeding from holding my breathe for too long. My major concern is a subject which I think is quite useless although the prof says otherwise. I am very stressed up in his class because I need to participate a lot but I can't think of what to speak and can just pray hard that I would not get a C in this semester again.. Argh. and it is this project that I am most afraid of as I have no idea what we are doing. Other than that, I can say that I feel pretty ok.

Have to go to school on Saturday and Sunday for project meetings again. You can see the advantage and disadvantage of having a school that is smack right in the centre of Singapore.

I AM BACK

2009-02-21T14:55:00.003+08:00

Hello human beings, i am back from my i-don't-know-how-long-break-from-blogging. The main reason for this is because i am being told by someone that i very long never update my blog already. well, just fyi, next week is my official study break. but i think it is best for smu to change it to "start your projects" because everyone will be using this break to catch up on their projects, me included. i can only say that there is irony because as what my lame friend pointed out to me, whyu would anyone have a study break when some of the mid terms are before the break? well, i am not sure how to explain because if i know the reason then i will not be the one who is studying but the one who invents the rules.

yesterday went out with the ngee ann clique to popeye's. i can only say that the meal is sooooooo big a portion because of upsizing that i guess many of us become very stuffed. after that, went for our normal phototaking session with me as the photographer (as usual and phew, how glad i am). Went through a series of weird poses and modelling with the singapore night sky as background. i am happy to say that i can finally capture both the person and the night scene together and it turns out to be very nice =) so, this morning, being an efficient one, i send a total of 11 parts of our outing photos containing the weird, weirder and weirdest. had a very fun day though. hahah. looking forward to the next one, lame friend.

so next week is a busy week despite having break. i am sure i will be up to my neck with projects and works. so tata humans. when u see me blog again then i have blog again (whatever that means)

HAHAHA

2009-01-17T17:56:00.002+08:00

HAHAHAHA. Left this blog for quite some time already. Always wanted to write but always too lazy and too busy to do it. Well, 2009 is here and a week more to CNY. Excited? Well, ok. CNY is something to be excited about but make-up classes are not. I have 2 make-up classes on 2 saturdays. HAHAHA. Projects are starting so haha i dunno when i will blog again. You can try reading once every year.

Wondering why

2008-12-05T16:31:00.002+08:00

Have watched "The Little Nyonya" from the first episode. i think it is quite nice and all the actors have portrayed their characters quite well. However, I have seen in the newspaper and heard from many people about the negative points of the show. This is the part where the wondering comes into action. To me, every show and drama have their loopholes. It depends on whether the loopholes are very big or only a little. I think that this show does not have that big of a loophole. Yes, it does have loopholes but can somebody tell me which show is perfect and does not have loophole? If it does not have, tell me. I will scrutinize it like everybody does everytime a local produced show is aired on TV. I don't really watch local produced drama but I sympathise with the actors and scriptwriters. What I think is that, we Singaporeans are really too picky over our own produce. The scriptwriters and the actors have put in so much effort in the script and the drama. To see that in the end, every minute is being scrutinize is really saddening. But then, this kind of thing is what Singaporeans scriptwriters and actors have to endure. No matter how hard they do, people will always dig out their past and use magifying glass to look at the end product. This is how the acting world works; the world works.

exams over

2008-12-04T09:45:00.003+08:00

Finally, my exams are over. Feeling kind of relief but at the same time worried because I think I did badly for two of the subjects. Haha. Don't be surprise about it if I tell you that my GPA is 2++ or just 3. Personally, I won't be really surprise. But I will be so disappointed. I know how to do but at that crucial point, my mind blank out and I forgot to do something which results in others wrong. SHIT. This is about the first time that I feel so helpless and useless in an exam and that I have no control over it. Well, evrything have their first time. I don't want to have a second time with this feeling. Next semester I shall take control of the exam and not let it take control over me. Most probably next week the exam results will be out. Wish me luck!

One down.

2008-11-11T18:08:00.002+08:00

Week 13 of SMU life. One module down. I am glad that finally have lesser project workload but on the other hand, I think I will miss my LTB team mates. Hahah. They are the only ones whom I feel comfortable with doing project even though we started as a bunch of strangers. Anyway, next week don't really have lessons except for some. Study week to prepare for exams.

24th November

26th November

1st December

After that, I will be free of my first term of university. Well, the time flies. Not sure is it because there are so many project work which makes it seems like it is very fast. Well, my academic writing deadline is nearing - Friday. Although I really want to write, I can't, because my aunt is here and talking to my grandmother and I can't help listening and not able to concentrate. HAHAHA. Tonight I shall work more on it.

Busy, busy

I have received feedback from SOMEONE who said that I have time to bloghop but no time to blog. So, here I am, updating you on my normal, busy, project-filled, sick life.

Have been so busy with all the projects... Imagine having to go to school even on Sunday to finish up the project! OMG! Where is my life?! (I still have a life, mind you) Hahahah... Nowadays I try to organize my calendar sucah that I will have at least 1 or 2 days at home to catch up on my work and family AND BLOG HOPPING! =)

As for being sick, I am still having cough *cough cough* and some flu. I think I am getting better though. Hopefully by next week I will be fully recovered. I have to bid for my classes next week. Hope that my schedule will be nice and that all the timeslots that I want will be given to me. hahahah. Haven even finish term 1 already planning for term 2. What a rush in SMU! Hahah. Ok next week I have quite a number of deadlines to meet: Academic writing due on 14 Nov; LTB learning journal on the same week; 2 presentations next week etc etc.

Bye guys! CYA

Hello everyone, it is this time of the year again - where everyone around me starts falling sick and eventually, I followed through and fall sick also. As I am typing now, I am down with flu, cough and a slight fever which I have already recovered no thanks to the medicine I took. Cough-ed for the past week then started to have sore throat and now, this. Using a quote from my murderous friend "Whatever lah". Can get well can already.

My mid terms finally over. 2 mid terms. One is TWC and the other one is Business Law. TWC is multiple choice but quite tricky whereas BLAW is straightforward but too many things to write. Don't know from where start. Have another few more projects to go and one essay to write on professional identity. After that, have to start revising for final exam - especially my stats. I regret taking Stats 151 instead of Stats 101 which is so much easier than what I am studying right now. Hopefully, I cna still pass Stats 151 with flying colours :)

Well, I am missing some good friends around me. Especially during projects where I will be reminded how well we used to work together. HAHAAH... memories ... they don't usually fade as fast as you thought it will..

End of recess, Start of hell

2008-10-15T14:45:00.002+08:00

This week is the start of the hell week again... Last week's term break dun seems like a term break to me.. However, one good thing about last week is that my LTB group finished our project execution on friday. Hurray! one down, many more to go. Another good thing about last week is that I finally fufilled my job of organizing an outing for the "toot" clique.. Yeh! my turn is over!! you can't imagine the no. of nags that i received from nurul and jojo. furthermore, they have to be such picky kids that i have to search HIGH and LOW just to find a place suitable for the both of them to start their "romancing". tomorrow I have a mid term paper... that mid term paper is rather redundant - multiple choice qn. never really studied that coz really not enough time. hopefully tmr luck is with me. This saturday is another mid term exam. business law. open book. but i have to study and memorize certain things so that i will not waste time on flipping the notes. After this week, I will be able to take A breather. The emphasis is A. Have to quickly do my acad writing and catch up with my statistics homework. haha. seems like i am becoming a bad kid very soon.

Imagine having a term break without really breaking off with ur laptop and school work. Then why the hell do they want to give a term break? Doesn't it defeats the purpose? Then it occured to me that term break is meant for the prof to rest -- not us. I am typing this blog with a couple of things going through my mind at the same time -- acad writing outline, business law term test, twc term test and stats. I think my mind is going to burst soon with all its particles flying out (yeah gross) but then, there will be no particles because my brain cells are being eaten up by the deadlines that are piling. Tomorrow is LTB project execution. Starts at 9.30am and ends at 6pm. Pardon me if you see me walking around looking like a half zombie.

Well, let me tok about identity. My acad writing topic. Everyone, no matter working or not, have an identity. The working adults have professional identity. Students have professional identity. I think everyone have professional identity. This identity means that we are supposed to act according to what we are expected. Many times, when this clashes with your personal/true identity, our act breaks apart. I wonder what kind of identity my friends out there have? Under what circumstances do they show their true self and when do they hide their self. If one day, a friend whom you think you know is actually putting on an act in front of you and this act is one of the many identities, what will you do? hahahahaha. I guess I am being illogical and very much affected by the fact that I do not have enough ideas to write my outline. Ignore me (for those who have spent time reading)

Olympics 2008

2008-08-12T10:00:00.000+08:00

I realized that it has been months since i last update this blog. Well, this is the 1st time I am typing a new post using my new laptop. Hahah. Nothing as excited as the 1st time I bought the Dell laptop during my 1st year in Ngee Ann. But still, it is a new laptop. Anyway, will be going to the compusory SMU camp tomorrow early in the morning. I have never been to camps before. Jittery. Anyway, why must the camp be set during the Beijing Olympics 2008? I want to watch the matches and competitions! Well, whatever. I guess I will have to record down those that I want to watch and hope they win. Going to start school on 18th August. New start, new opening. Got a friend who is in the same university as me. However, we are not in the same class. So, it is almost the same as my 1st time going to Ngee Ann poly and met my good friends using lame words. Hahaha. I hope I won't need to use lame words to make friends again. But if the need arises, I will do it again. 18th August is a big day for me. I have to go for my grade 7 piano exam again. This time I am confident that I will pass the exam. I want to get on with my piano and not stuck in the same grade over and over again. My piano exam will be at 11.01am. After that have to fly to school as the school starts at 12pm. I hope 18th August is a good day and I will be able to make it for both piano and my new school term. Bye. Oh yeah, also hope that singapore can get at least one medal in olympics (hopefully is in table tennis).

SMU

2008-07-15T12:00:00.000+08:00

I am not an avid blogger nowadays as I am simply too lazy to form sentences in my mind and type them out. So, I resigned myself to being an avid reader - reading books, magazines, blogs etc. After reading several blogs, I decided it is time I update this blog or else it will be out of purpose. Well, to those who are STILL reading my blog, I have to say that I am currently a SMU student studying business management for 4 years, direct honors (can be 3 too). This place is quite boring as it is only a few buildings, unlike ngee ann where there are a lot of buildings. Whatever. I have to go on a camping trip coming August (compulsory). Damn. I hate campings, but what to do? haha. Starting school on 18th August 2008. Hopefully I can continue my good grades in the uni too.

Quote of the Day

2008-06-07T07:20:00.000+08:00

"这世界上所谓的悲伤与痛苦是完全来自于希望自己幸福 .
这世界上所谓的喜悦与快乐是完全来自于希望别人幸福 ."

Brief translation of the quote:

All the sadness and disappointments in the world are due to us pursuing ultimate happiness.
All the fun and joyness comes from us wanting others to get happiness.

This is a loose translation which may lose some of the exact meaning of the quote above. However, it is quite a meaningful quote that my sister found out today.

Fresh start

2008-06-06T04:20:00.000+08:00

This blog has been recreated. I actually stop and deleted the blog just last month. Now, I am back to blogging again. The reason for this is because I am quite bored and I think blogging helps in my English. Hahah. An update of what have been happening around me for the past week.

28/5/08
I have graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic after 3 years of interesting poly life. Graduating gives me mixed feelings. I am happy to be able to graduate with Diploma of Merit after 3 years of slogging and hard work. I am happy to not disappoint all my friends and family members. However, I am a little sad to leave Ngee Ann Polytechnic because in the past 3 years, I have met important people who turns out to be my very good friends. The most important ones are those met in my first two years. It will really take quite some time before getting used to not seeing them as often as before.

31/5/08
Went out with my group of important friends to Lau Pa Sat. Met at Raffles Place at around 7pm. But due to someone being late, only managed to start eating at around 8 plus. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the outing very much. I brought my camera along to capture the moments of our life. I termed this particular moment as: Post Graduation Trip. During this outing, I took a short trip down the memory lane during the first two years of Ngee Ann Polytechnic where we constantly ignore all the other people while joking and laughing. Well, I have to admit that I like to go out with them. So, hopefully, we will go out once a month to rejuvenate ourselves.

3/6/08 & 5/6/08
During this two days, my house (or rather, my grandmother house) is filled with the aroma of food, to be specific, dumplings. Sunday will be the dumplings festival and my grandma have started to wrap dumplings for that day. There are two types of dumplings. 1. Plain dumplings 2.Meat dumplings. Well, both are delicious considering that my grandma is a great cook. I am looking forward to eating as many as I can without turning into a dumpling face.

Past 2-3 weeks
For the past two to three weeks, I am glued to my laptop, organizing and making my Japan Trip photos into a movie. Well, I have finally finished the whole project yesterday and is very satisfied.

Past few months
For the past few months, I have been going through the Toa Payoh Library story books for of course, story books. I have read many books for the fun of it. I also watched many films online for free. Maybe someday, I will become a director for film for all you know.
