Today's Christmas and I'm here to wish everyone a Happy and Merry Christmas.

So, it's going to be the end of the year soon. 2009 is going to end and 2010 is approaching. I'm going to be 19 soon (real soon) and so are my other friends. Thinking back: What had happen early this year.

1. I had great friends who celebrated my birthday. Watched movie, bought gift, went drinking and almost got me and Shawn drunk. Made tags that says "I LOVE MY BROTHER", "I LOVE MY TWIN", "I LOVE MY SON". They're awesome.

2. Registered for my driving lesson after my birthday. Excited like hell. Now that I've already completed all the stages and I've booked my traffic police test which is on the 27th January (Xiwen's Birthday). I'm all ready for the test.

3. Went Hong Kong, Guang Zhou and Macau with my primary school friends. Super fun and crazy. Shopped till drop? haha!

4. Became a orientation camp group leader for ELAMITES. Yup, spent the entire holiday training for the camp. The lack of sleep, the emotional outbreak, the fun and 'torture' we GLs had to go through. But its worth it. The experience gained was priceless.

5. Signed up and went Melbourne, Australia, for my overseas attachment programme. I was attached to RMIT (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) university along with Valentine and Jun Hao. Did university research and attended some lab classes with the local students. Made some new friends and learned a great deal of knowledge and experience. This is definitely going to make my resume look better.

6. Christmas Party at Huiting's house. Played Mahjongs and had lots of fun there. Great food especially.

.
.

There are more, but elaborating it is going to take a damn long time. So I've decided to leave it. May elaborate more after new year.

2009-12-16T21:59:00.002+08:00

All the papers are finally over. Now it's the 5th day into the 'holidays'. To put it in a nicer term, it's a holiday. But in actual fact, its just 3 long weeks for you to complete your overdue assignment. Just total bullshit.

So, Sunday and Monday were dedicated to class chalet. It's fun and crazy, especially at night. Tuesday was dedicated to SPSU Appreciation Dinner. Like the past two days, its fun-filled and crazy! The food yesterday was great.

Now that, all the activities are almost done, it's time for assignments and more boring days ahead. Damn...

2009-12-08T18:56:00.002+08:00

Guess it won't be of much surprise. I've registered for Adidas Sundown Marathon coming next may. It's going to be double the shit I ran during Standard Chartered Marathon. This run will be a good gauge. It'll be my very first marathon and it's held at night! Lucky for me, this time there's going to be companion running with me.

Today's the second day of MST. So far the 2 papers weren't bad, do-able and manageable. Made some careless mistakes here and there. But it's alright. 2 papers down 3 to go . A short break now before the next paper starts on Thursday. Got to mug like crazy before I can enjoy my well deserved holidays.

But what can I say about the holidays? It's damn packed. Filled with school assignments, chalet and appreciation dinner, christmas dinner and celebration(s). Well, can't wait..

2009-12-06T20:52:00.003+08:00

Christmas is coming and tomorrow's Mid Semester Test. Sigh..

Ran my very first 21km today. A good experience even though I had to run the last 2km with my right leg cramped. The first 10km was slow jog with Amanda. However, after the 10km mark, she asked me to run ahead and I did. Running a long stretch alone is really not enjoyable at all. Everything seems to be longer when you're alone then when you're in a company.

Went home slept and woke up with my biceps aching (don't know why). Had slight headache and my body felt warm. But it got better afterward.

Now gotta continue with my studies. Ending here

2009-11-27T22:03:00.002+08:00

Back from Sentosa with a burnt body. The weather today was great until afternoon when it started pouring. Luckily we left early. Now I'm feeling sleepy from all the energy taken away by the sun.

However, can't sleep yet. I've got one patent I have to read and extract information from it. It's for my module which I fucking don't understand why I have to learn it. What does chemical engineering modules got to do with reading patents? Whatever, it's screwed.

Not going to update much today.

2009-11-25T21:39:00.002+08:00

Had a short day in school, but a long day at the driving centre. How weird? haha!

Gym session today was a little special. Instead of going to the pool side gym, Valentine, Qikang and I went to the guild house gym instead. The gym there wasn't really very good as compared to the pool side's. The gym was small and the equipment was limited. Luckily I managed to train my bicep and tricep.

So after gym, we decided to make full use of our $3 dollars. Hence, we used the guild house facilities. We went into the steam room, sauna, cold and hot pool. It was pure relaxation. After today, we've decided to make use of the facilities after our gym session once every two weeks I guess.

Headed to Bukit Batok for my driving lesson. Got to drive a Civic today instead of the usual City. It was a bit hard to control initially. But after a few rounds in the circuit, I got the hang of it. Did Crank course and S-course today. Not bad I must say, needed to practice more. Reversing is definitely the problem. I'm not that bad at it, but it needs HELL LOTS OF PRACTICE. The lesson ended with a sore leg, cause I had to do lots of speed control and the clutch was kinda hard to step on.

Anyway, waited for about half an hour for my driving simulator to start. It was basically me driving an automatic arcade car. It was funny cause we get to laugh at ourselves when we get into a heads-on accident without getting injured (that's dumb. but its funny).

I'm so lazy to continue blogging so shall end it here.

2009-11-23T21:49:00.002+08:00

Well... Today's not a bad day. Just had to attend tutorial today cause I'm able to skip my practical for heat transfer today, it's once in a semester time off from that damn stressed/f*cked up module.

Anyway, met up with Eugene for lunch today. It was short, but still managed to catch up quite a bit with him. After lunch was driving. Today's lesson was great man, did reversing and crank course training. I'm still not used to reversing, but I guess I'll get used to it with more practice. Especially so when I'm getting better at changing my gears.

Now... I really need to train for my 21KM. I don't want to run halfway and start walking. Running such a long run, not say really long when compared to 42km, really require damn lots of determination, discipline and mental strength. Having said that, its been a long time since I last had a training that requires lots of mental strength. I hope I can really pull it through the run without problem.

I guess I'm going to end my post here.

2009-11-22T20:25:00.005+08:00

Right.. I guess it's really time I update my blog. I bet Zakkiyya will be thinking "Like Duh?!".

So.. I have been rather busy and rather unmotivated to blog. Everytime I log into blogger and a the text box, I would stare at it and it would stare right back at me. No words seems to be able to get out of my mind. Like now, I'm still stuck at what I'm supposed to type next. Haha! I think I'm going to take the entire night to type an update.

Well, school's been great so far. Understood most of the theories that were being taught. Stress are starting to build up, building up real fast. Mid Semester test is nearing and it's really time for mugging, yet again. I want to score good results to pull up my GPA for this semester.

Another thing, Standard Chartered marathon is coming again. Damn it, my ballot to collect my race pack at the floating platform failed. Valentine actually managed to ballot successfully! What the fuck? He's definitely laughing at me. That idiot. Beside that, I haven't been training my stamina. I hope I can last throughout the entire 21km.

Thinking about driving, I've finally booked my Traffic Police Test. It's on the 27th Jan. I really hope that I can pass it at my first go. I'm really anticipating driving myself to school everyday! Besides, my dad has decided to sponsor me the car and petrol after I get my license. How great is that!
(p.s Zakkiyya, Yew Chuan and Jeslyn! I'll send you home after school, on the day I first drive to school).

Well, guess that'll be all I'm going update. Rather satisfy that I didn't take the whole night to type this post. Haha!

(p.s missed the days in Melbourne)

2009-10-20T21:44:00.002+08:00

Holiday is over and now is the start of a new semester. Which means new modules and teachers. The holiday was well spent by making myself busy at oversea attachment. Been busy doing research, so won't be having any problem adjusting back to study mode.

Well, the first day pass quite well. Except for the fact that I've got an annoying teacher. She's... ahh! I lazy to elaborate. Nothing really much to update. So shall end it here.

2009-10-15T20:33:00.000+08:00

Time really flies when you're enjoying it. Now it's time to go back home.
My trip to Melbourne is definitely a fruitful one, I must say. I've learn a lot of new things and knowledge during the time here in Melbourne.

I was given the chance to try out researching, which was what I wanted to do in the future, and I got a good exposure and experience out of it. It gives me a glimpse of what researching is like. Even though the initial part of researching (reading up literatures) is really boring, it can still be very fun when you're actually carrying out the experiment.

During my stay here, I've got to really be independent and I can be adventurous! Taking the trams down to the suburbs for a walk/sightseeing and occasionally getting 'lost'. In addition to that, I happen to witness the staff union of RMIT going to strike just outside the school for the higher up to increase their pay. From what I’ve heard, the strike occurs not only at RMIT but at other university and institute as well. How cool is that? Even the student union here is really something. You have to pay to be a member of the student union and there are lots of student buying the membership. That really shows how respected the student union is.
If I am given the chance to come back to Melbourne, I certainly will. There is just so many good memories that I’ve gotten from here and I’ll definitely keep it for the rest of my life.

Now, shall get ready for my flight back to Singapore tomorrow. See ya!

2009-09-17T16:13:00.003+08:00

Alright, some progression made in my attachment. We're almost done with the risk assessment and we'll be able to start with our experiment tomorrow. It'll be fun!

Anyway, don't have much to blog about. Just that our in-charge, Peggy, treated us to Thai cuisine. It was awesome alright. The head of discipline was there as well. My initial impression of her was that she's very strict. But upon hearing her talk, my impression of her changed. She's a nice person.

During the lunch, I noticed something really different. First is the age gap between the 3 of us and the lecturers. Wow, they're like talking about spending thousands on their daughter in a annual dance for the year 10 students in the school. From what I heard, the annual dance is to present that the girl is coming out to the society as a women. That's something interesting I must say. I don't remember anything like that in Singapore.

Well, after that we went back to the lab and did some risk analysis. Kinda fun, but fustrating cause we're arguing about the how much points to give.

Anyway, dinner was horrible. The rice is hard and inedible. Junhao and Valentine stopped eating within 10 spoons or so. No wonder the food's so cheap.

Anyway, gotta go. BYE!

2009-09-16T17:02:00.004+08:00

Attended a practicial session in RMIT today. The first briefing I attended was an experiment on the batch reactor. Well, I've learn the theory right before the holiday and today's briefing refreshed my memory. Arrhenius law, Intergral method and differential method.

Oh yeah, I recalled this girl who keep staring as us when we talked to ourselves about what the lab technician was briefing. She looked at us in a way... I don't really know how to describe. But what I can say is that, she looks like a teachers good pet. One who knows everything but knows nothing. If you get what I mean.

Anyway, the way the practical was conducted was very much different from Singapore Polytechnic. In SP, we have to figure out a way to calculate the results and we collect our results manually. However, in RMIT lab technician will explain step by step what to do and all the datas are recorded by computer. Sigh

Another thing I want to say is, the students whom I attended the practical with are year 2 and of the same age as me. We're learning almost the same thing, probably they learn something abit more than me. They'll be graduating with a degree and I'll be graduating with a diploma. That's shit man. In addition, they're like 20+ when they graduate with a degree. I'll be in my mid 20 by the time I even graduate with a degree.

Life's so unfair

2009-09-13T09:28:00.002+08:00

Hey, right now I'm sitting at the cafeteria waiting for the free pan cake to be served. So while waiting, I'll just update a lil' bit.

Yesterday was quite a tiring day. Did our laundry and finished up our report before we took a walk in the botanical garden for about 3 hours? Can you believe it? 3 freaking hours in the botanical garden. I think i'm mad. But yeah, we did take alot of photos so it's alright. Well, thhe photos are all in facebook. Won't be uploading here. It'll take a rather long time to load.

I guess today we'll be going to St. Kilda beach for a walk while enjoying the breeze and "view". Heh.

Shall end it short. Bye!

2009-09-11T17:39:00.003+08:00

DAMN it! I have to retype the entire blog post I did just 10 mins ago. The internet connection died on me. It's just so fustrating. BLAH!

Okay, someone's cooking something that smelt really very nice. Valentine says it's salmon so I'll be looking out for that. Anyway, I'm gonna have to retype the entire blog post. Sigh.

----------------------The old post will start from here----------------------------------

HEY! Couldn't update yesteday cause the connection was so screwed up. Likewise for today! I have to blog this fast or else I'll get disconnected again.

Basically, yesterday was pretty stressed up with the assignments handed to us. Fucking 5 literature reviews to read and summarise. Well, that's one thing. We're also tasked to find the literature reviews on our own and it must somehow be relevant to the research topic we're given. It's tiring to search for the literature review. It's even worst reading it. Come on, the entire literature reviews has all the terminologies that were unknown to me at that point in time and that it will only be learnt at university level? Oh, plus the equation used is really crazy. They explains their result of their experiment through equations and how they derived it. I totally could't catch any balls.

Well, today was better. Done most of the reading and the summary is halfway done. Just left with the results part. Well, hope everything goes well.

Alright, i'll stop with the RMIT thing. Alright! I think I'm hearing thing, Jun Hao and Valentine is asking me to drink beer? Oh yeah Zak! Jun Hao is getting bad influences from us alright? He's talking about dirty stuff with us. Well if you want to know more about it, msn me!

Damn, i can't upload my photo now. The internet connection is dying on me again. Shall upload the photos some other time.

Well, there ain't much to update now. Wait till tomorrow, shall upload with more pictures. Will be going on a sightseeing trip on our own. So definitely will have alot of photos!

We're having a hell out of time in our own room. Doing playing dai di, losers will have to do push up or sit up. Valentine started acting like a freaking lady boy! haha! fun i tell you

2009-09-09T16:57:00.002+08:00

It's going to be 7 soon. Just had my oversized plate of pasta which we cooked on our own. Luckily the taste of the pasta wasn't bad. Shan't elaborate much on the dinner.

School wasn't bad either. It's much more productive than yesterday. Had our direction straightened out and it's clearer now. Getting used to the environment, but the weather here is still unpredictable. Sometimes it will be just nice, if not it's extremely cold with the wind smacking onto my face.

Alright, now i'm going to chat with my family. See ya'll!

2009-09-08T16:33:00.004+08:00

Now i'm currently waiting at the cafeteria for the free pasta dinner. It's later than the expected time though. But it's okay, I'm with a laptop and here I am blogging to pass time.

Well, went to RMIT for my attachment. Look at the above picture you'll know what my research is all about. Like yesterday, my in-charge, peggy is not around due to some eye sickness. But we're to start on our research. The topic we got is not something I've learnt in SP before, hence had to start from scratch. No knowledge at all. It's hard to comprehend what some of the e-journals says. It's difficult, but I hope it'll get better as days go by.

Just remembered something, I've been given a RMIT student admin number as well as a student mail. It makes me feel as though I am a student there! Anyway, let me upload a picture the computer lab we (valentine junhao and I) do our research. We shared this room with another ex-student from the school and she's a PHD HOLDER! If i'm not wrong she's called Suzanne. She's friendly and helpful.

Anyway, I'm going to get back doing my report for tomorrow. So I'm going to end here.

2009-09-07T17:13:00.004+08:00

I'm back online and it's near sleeping time (8pm). I'm trying to stay awake for a longer period of time if possible cause I need not be going to RMIT early.

Talking about RMIT. We (Valentine, JunHao and I) went there early about 8.30am not knowing that our in-charge was sick. So we waited from 8.30 all the way to about 10 plus. to make the matter worse, the weather was freaking cold. The wind was strong and my lips were cracking.

At about 10 plus our in-charge colleague, Cameron, brought us around the labs and the school before heading out towards the city for some other stuff. He is friendly and very helpful. He told us that, if we need any help in matter of Chemical Engineering we could approach him for help.

After that we went about exploring on our own. We entered the state library and I tell you, it's amazing. It looks as though it is an old manor and it's interior is beautiful. The design is very much different from Singapore's library.

We did some grocery shopping as well. We decided that today, we'll cook our own dinner rather than eating out. Shopped at the super market for about an hour or so. I must say the food here is really expensive as compared to Singapore (should count myself lucky that I'm actually living in Singapore). Anyway, the grocery shopping was fun. Just the three of us looking for whatever we need for our dinner. I don't even remember going to the supermarket alone just to buy grocery for my own dinner. Its always done by my mum. So this is definitely a huge step towards independence!

The dinner was okay, not much experience in cooking. But we managed to make our food edible and taste alright. Not very nice nor was it very disgusting. But we somehow cooked too much, had to gorge ourself with the noodles we cooked.

Anyway, I've uploaded some photos on facebook. I'll upload some here. Right now, I'm going to get ready to go to bed. Have to wake up early tomorrow.

(p.s. another fucking cold morning with morning "spasm")

These swans actually swam towards me when i took a photo of them

2009-09-06T16:52:00.002+08:00

Hey all! I'm safely sitting down at greenhouse backpacker hostel with Valentine and Junhao. I must say, it's quite an experience to be overseas without any adult supervision at all. I've finally get to come online after many futile tries.

It's probably about 7pm here and almost all the shops are closed.I guess i'll be going to bed soon as well. But for now, I am going to have a chat with my family and friends.

By the way, I have to thanks those who sent me off. I really appreciate that. And and and, i really love the note book you guys made for me. thank you so very much XD.

I did not manage to take alot of pictures today. All we did was just getting familar with our surroundings and finding ways to get to RMIT. Well, we got lost quite a number of time, but it wasn't of a problem. There are street maps everywhere, so getting lost won't be a problem at all. A bad thing about the weather here was, the wind are so damn strong. Along with the cold air, wow. It make it rather chilly. Okay not just chilly but way past chilly.

Alright, I rather tired for now. When I take more pictures tomorrow, I'll definitely upload it.

2009-09-05T15:59:00.002+08:00

I'm finally done with my EXAM! I don't think I'll do well for my diploma plus paper. However, I don't think I'll fail the paper.

Anyway, I'm flying in 6 and half hours time. 4 more hours before heading to the airport to check in. I'm excited for my attachment and at the same time I'm nervous. It'll be my first time overseas with friends without parents/adults supervision. It's just Valentine, Jun Hao and I. It's time to show how independent we are.

It's funny that I do feel nervous. I think I worry too much. I was thinking, what if I don't do what was expected of me? What if I don't fit/blend in? I know it sounds dumb. But i can't help but to worry. Lucky, for me, I do get encouragements from my friends and they said I was silly for think so much. I think so too. LOL!

Anyway, I shall go back to packing and getting prepared.

2009-08-27T21:10:00.003+08:00

Last tedious paper to go. Praying hard that it will be a do-able paper.

After that paper, the rest of the papers should be alright. 10 more days to go!

2009-08-24T22:01:00.001+08:00

A good start for the beginning of the exams I must say. Today's paper is definitely a do-able paper and I'm confidence of scoring good grades for it.

Before the paper, had quite a lot of fun in the library while studying with Valentine, Qi Kang and Jun Hao. Trashing out reasonings, whistling loudly to disturb Valentine and admiring the squirrel droppings on Valentine feet. It was simply a good way to destress.

Now one paper is down, 4 more to go! and 13 more days to flying off!

2009-08-12T22:26:00.002+08:00

It's just so funny that I kept saying it's the last lap, when there will always be another one. Every semester, around the end semester I would constantly tell myself, it's my last lap, just keep going. Then another semester will come and there comes another last lap. Just great.

Just 2 more weeks to my end semester papers and 3 weeks to attachment at RMIT.

Come on GRAYSON! you can do it!

2009-08-05T20:56:00.001+08:00

It seemed that I did neglect this blog for a long time. It's really "dusty" I must say. But now that I'm here, I'll just post some updates.

First, I'll be going to Melbourne for my attachment. Will be there for a month and half. I'm definitely looking forward to that day.

Second, I've signed up for 21KM for standard chartered run. Well, it's a compromise. I couldn't run 42KM and I don't want to run 10KM, so I'll just run 21. Let's just say, I'll gain more experience before I jump to 42KM.

Third, I've finally started my driving. Well, not say finally. I'll be going for my third session this Friday and I can't wait for it to arrive. It's fun, despite all the engine stalling and hitting of kerb.

Last, I won't be able to update till after my end of semester exams. So yeah, that's it.

2009-07-11T20:46:00.004+08:00

2 things on hand I have to decide. First would be attachment at RMIT university in Melbourne. Second would be standard chartered marathon.

First thing first. I was chosen for the attachment at RMIT to do research at the university itself. I've been contemplating if I should go or not. Let me try listing pros and cons.

Pros	Cons
1) Good for my portfolio when I get into university 2) Get to gain experience of being abroad for studies 3) Good exposure 4) Able to find out if I really have the interest in the research field	1) H1N1, quarantine when I get back. 2) I've already booked my driving lessons. Going to Melbourne means pushing back the date of getting my license 3) I have to get my own accomodation when I get there 4) The calculated expenditure is roughly 3.6k or more 5) This is not a subsidies attachment!

Next, Standard Chartered. I'm contemplating if I should take part in the 10km or 42km this year. I've always wanted to run 42km, but I was underage when I first joined standard chartered. This year I'm of legal age. But the thing that is holding me back is the mid semester test. The date of the run is on the 6th of dec, Sun. The very next day will be my mid semester paper. I'm afraid I might be too tired to even concentrate for the paper. 10km, I've been running it for the past 2 years. Both were great. If i will to run this year, I'll be targeting reduce my timing.

Man, hard to decide. Comments, anyone?

2009-07-10T19:58:00.002+08:00

I can finally heave a sigh of relieve. I had been so damn upset over my carelessness in my engineering mathematics paper. I threw precious marks away because of a dumb mistake such as (-1 x -4)= 5? Real dumb indeed. I was so depressed because I thought I would end up getting a really lousy grade. Well, I ended up being overly worried cause I managed to score an A still.

Bioanalytic was quite a disappointment. I was so sure I could score an A for it, but ended up with a B+. Once again, due to careless mistake. When will I ever learn to stop making such mistake? I don't know.

Anyway, been to starbucks with Meiqi today after playing Cluedo (damn addictive game) with my classmate. It was especially cold today and I was shivering like crazy. Was supposed to study with her but I ended up reading my book and chatting with Shona and Ping en who came after a photo exhibition. Meiqi was actually complaining about a guy sitting behind her who kept farting, polluting the entire starbucks with his pungent air. Couldn't stop laughing at her. LOL!

(p.s Mustard killed green with a trophy in the theatre!)

2009-07-08T21:54:00.002+08:00

I'm really exhausted from all the worrying. I've been worrying for my mid-semester papers. I've been worrying about my diploma plus. I've been worrying about completing report. I've been worrying if I could get into local universities. Basically, all the frustrating worries.

I really want to have a day when I don't have to even think about those worries. Just have a day out and have fun.

I haven't been to the movies for a long time. Other than the time I watched with my primary school friends. I basically went to the movies only once this year! There's so many movies I want to watch, but there is seriously no time because of all the assignments that needed to be completed.

If only I had one day free of works and worries...

2009-07-06T22:52:00.000+08:00

I think I'm going to be certified a country bumpkin soon. I went Orchard and I actually felt foreign there. So many things about it has change. Like the MRT walk to Wisma. I'm so used to the while "wall" while Ions is under construction. Now it's gone and it feels like a different place rather than Orchard to me.

Anyway, MST's over for my friends except for me. I've still got one last math paper to go and it's killing me. I have yet to grasp knowledge of solving certain problem and I certainly don't understand some little part of the chapters. I've been doing speed training for the test. I hope I'll do well cause this module is killing my brain.

2009-06-28T19:47:00.000+08:00

Holy, i couldn't stop watching this video and laugh.

2009-06-16T21:08:00.003+08:00

I don't really like this time of semester. Holidays, which were meant for relax and taking a break from study, was in fact for mugging. I've been mugging and I'm seriously stressed out.

Luckily I have friends asking me out, buddies accompanying to do sports and companion for mugging.

Anyway, home is not really a suitable place from studying. All the computers, the refrigerator and the bed. Damn, they are so tempting. Non stop eating, non stop surfing and urge to lie on the bed or sofa to sleep was simply to great. School library is certainly more productive. Did i just complimented the school library? I guess I just did. LOL!

2009-05-29T23:12:00.002+08:00

This week was definitely much better than last week. My cough is getting better and I'm getting my voice back. HOWEVER, Yew Chuan is still teasing about my "SEXY" voice, that's when I lose my voice la.

Then there's a good news, that's for me only I guess. I've finally passed my final theory test. So I'm one step closer to driving to school! However, I can only start my first practical lesson in July. So it'll take probably till the end of the year before i can start driving.

I've been through hell this week. I couldn't get to sleep cause my cough is irritating enough to keep me awake. I'm done with fever on monday, along with the package (cough, flu, headache, sore throat). I'm still having it though. Being so tired in school, I could hardly concentrate on lectures and tutorials. Not just that, I still have lots of reports due next week and I'm have way through.

Please! I hope tomorrow my cough will just be better.

2009-05-17T23:28:00.003+08:00

Where's Jeslyn?
Oh no! I'm getting sick soon. It's damn irritating to have a block nose. I'll definitely have a hard time sleeping later.

Last week was quite a rush for me. I've been worrying about completing report assignments for my practical that I've not been able to concentrate in class fully. This is only the 4th week of school and I'm already dying. I need to buck up now..

Anyway, I tried booking my practical training and guess what, I can only start mine in July. Damn.. I won't be able to learn to drive during the school holiday. I guess, I should ask my dad to teach me how to drive.

Yeah.. Someone says my blog post are getting shorter and shorter. But seriously, there ain't nothing I can write when my mind are all blocked up by school works and more school works. So, for this few weeks, bear with my short post.

2009-05-06T22:05:00.002+08:00

Lets just say I'm bored and i started doing quizzes. I'm just bored

Are You a Dark-Hunter, a Were-Hunter, or a Dream-Hunter

You're a Dark-Hunter! You dont usually do this, but you have the option of sucking a persons blood to feel their emotions for a bit, but thats only the messed-up dark-hunters. youve given up your soul for revenge and now serve artemis, but the thing is that you cant go into day light. your like a vampire, but u dont HAVE to drink blood. youre usually suspicious of most and/or all people. your job is to fight the daimons so that they dont suck human souls. all dark-hunters are extremely gorgeous cause artemis only wants the best looking people to work for her. your favorite colors are the dark ones because, most likely, bright colors hurt your sensitive eyes. you can also see in the dark.plez rate high!

What Character Of Greek Mythology Do You Resemble
You are like the god, Apollo. Your Roman name is Apollo as well. You are the god prophesy, music and healing. You like to help people out whenever you can. You pay a dime, for example, in the charity bucket on the restaurant counter or you help your friends when they need you. No matter what you can always be there!

2009-05-06T21:51:00.002+08:00

Stress is seriously starting to build up in me.
School's getting harder and more assignment are on its way.
Now, I have balance between 2 course. My diploma plus and my main diploma. I hope I really can get through this.

Anyway, I've yet to update about my Elamite outing yeah?
Went settlers and played quite a number of games. The time we spent there was totally awesome. Have had so much fun there. Especially when playing taboo: the card was pregnant, so the person asked, what is after sex. And guess what is one of the reply, "SPASM". There goes, everyone burst out laughing. LOL! Really enjoyed that day.

2009-04-29T20:14:00.002+08:00

Oh man, I guess I'm going to get lame soon. I've somehow injured my knee, after i injured my shin, from something that apparently I can't see. It just sucked big time. From time to time when the pain acts on my leg, I'll have to limp. Just my luck.

Anyway, school's great so far other than the fact that I have to undergo boring lectures of modules that doesn't seems to makes sense to me. Diploma plus was fun, challenging yet at the same time thrilling. HAH! I just have a thing for maths.
Oh yeah, I've also applied for oversea attachment to Melbourne for this coming semester holiday. Hope I'll get in.

2009-04-19T16:46:00.002+08:00

Holy shit!? Tomorrow school's reopening and I have yet to seriously enjoy my holidays. I'm so busy during the entire holiday that I've so little time to really enjoy it. Damn it.

Well not just that, my time-table sucked? Most of the days I start at 8 and end at 5. Tuesday is the day I strike lottery, I must say. I'm scheduled to have lesson from 10am to 9pm. How wonderful. Thursday, a freaking 4 hours break. It just can't get any worser.

2009-04-09T09:09:00.002+08:00

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK! FUCKING SP!

Damn fucked-up. I drop module for gems also can lag. FUCK! Then end up my slot for digital imaging gone. FUCK SHIT! FUCKING SP WEBSITE!

2009-04-08T21:21:00.002+08:00

My head is feeling so heavy right now. I swear I'm using twice the energy to just keep my head up and my mind awake. Practically, I haven't been updating my blog. So while I can still keep myself awake, I had better blog about something. If not this blog will end up dead.

So, I've been back from FO camp. It was awesome I must say. Because of my fellow GLs and my kids (ELAMITES!). It was certainly a great experience having to be a GL. It is definitely different than being a GL in secondary school. The amount of sleep I get in 5 days of camp was less than 20 hours. Almost 3 hours everyday. Tiring as it may seems but it's still fun nonetheless. I won't be updating in detail about the camp.

Now, I'm preparing for the next camp FOWA and FOP. It'll be hell of a busy week for me.

ARGH. Can't take it. Shall go to sleep now.

2009-03-21T16:15:00.012+08:00

Went Sentosa with my classmate yesterday. SP classmates that is. It was hell lot of fun with frisbee and monkey. Tossing people into the sea and Jeslyn trying to kick the ball into our faces (Valentine and mine) while we're in the water. It's fun alright :) .

I've been under the sun for more than 3 hours and my skin was red. Guess it'll start peeling soon. But who cares, getting sunburn was suppose to be the objective when going to Sentosa. So yeah. I shan't elaborate more and I'll post up the pictures in random order again.

2009-03-18T21:42:00.016+08:00

Alright! I don't know why Jasmine actually complained that my blog post very fierce, formal. Probably because I don't "haha" when I post? I don't know. Anyway, here are the pictures from my oversea trip.
P.s It's not in chronological order

Guang Zhou

Hong Kong

2009-03-14T19:02:00.004+08:00

I'm back in Singapore since 3 days ago. Couldn't update since I was tired from the lack of sleep while waiting for my flight back to Singapore from Macau. But I have to apologize for the lack of pictures cause I just couldn't figure out what went wrong with my memory card reader. For that, I couldn't upload any photos, for now.

So let's just say, first day in Guangzhou. It was exciting. Not because Guangzhou was a real fun place. It was because it was the first time I actually went overseas with friends on a plane without a teacher supervision. So like any first timer, it's exciting. Anyway, I wasn't expecting much from Guangzhou, there's little place for us to explore due to limitation of places we could go. However, there was something interesting. We came by this artificial lotus pond full of fish. We paid 5 yuan for a bottle of don't know what and fed the fish through a milk bottle. You just put the milk bottle over the edge of the pond, you'll see 20 over fishes come swimming to you with their mouth forming an "O" shape. For the fact that, we're the only one doing it, everyone was gathering around with their camera to video whatever we're doing.

(P.s Specifically, it was only Agatha and Weifa feeding.)

Next was Hong Kong. Other than the fact that the hotel we stayed in was so freaking small and I had to squeeze with Maxim a twin bed, the rest was awesome. The clothes I bought there were cheap. kinda like $30 - $50 Singapore dollar. Disney land was wonderful, of course. The fireworks display was eye catching, I had to hold my camera for 15 minutes, but i felt like an hour, to capture the fireworks on my camera with continuous shot. The games there weren't really that fun, but with friends it's a whole different new story. Watched the parade, watched the "Golden Mickey Award" and the Mickey 3D musical. It was fun. Lucky for us, we did have a few hours of exploration without the supervision of Agatha's Uncle and Auntie so we're free to do our own things. I shan't elaborate on that now cause there ain't any pictures to show. Wait till I upload, I'll elaborate it further. Well, everything in Hong Kong was great, other than the fact that the food there is expensive, the long long hours of walking that makes my leg ache and cramp when I sleep and the ulcer that broke out.

Lastly, Macau. That, I've nothing to say. Other than exploring the places where the old ruined Portuguese building are and buying wife biscuit, nothing was interesting. Even the casino was boring. Maybe it's because I don't have the money to gamble? The jackpot is such a money sucker. It's a sure lose game.

Well, I guess I'll stop for now. Gotta prepare to send Mei Yin off to Orlando.

2009-03-04T01:31:00.002+08:00

I've finally gotten myself into a deep sleep when the mosquitoes started attacking my legs and my hand. Damn, I have to be awoken by the itch felt in my leg.

Anyway, I'm excited for the trip. In 5 hours time I'll be flying off for my holidays with my friends. So I shall blog a bit before I started preparing and get change for the trip.

I don't know what else I can blog about, so SEE YOU all in 1 weeks time.

2009-02-27T22:39:00.002+08:00

Have I ever mentioned before that I hate holidays as much as I love them. Contradicting? But it's the truth.

How I wish 4th of March could just quickly arrive. Save me the struggle of anticipating it and going through the boring days. Besides, after the trip, I have had nothing to do other than to go down for some training at union. Can't work this months because of camps and orientation for the freshmen. Damn.

2009-02-24T21:04:00.001+08:00

I have to admit, Valentine is nuts.

P.s I'm random and it's not the day but the person

2009-02-24T16:43:00.002+08:00

I've ended my exams and I'm going on to year 2, finally. Well, it's not official until results it out. But at least I know I will be. I'm confident in myself.

Now since exams are over, now I have to look forwards to other things. Let's go by chronological order.

1) Guang Zhou, Hong Kong, Maccau trip with Agatha, Huisun, Weifa and Maxim. It's the second time I'm taking a plane with friends and this time without teachers supervision. I'm definitely looking forward to this. ( 4th March )

2) SP enrolment, I'm going to be the speaker at union booth. But i won't be at the booth for the first few days since I'm still overseas, so I'll only be there on the 12th and 13th of March.

3) Freshmen orientation camp. Don't know what to say about this, 4 days 3 night camp for me. (28th march)

4) Freshmen orientation programme. Helper for Chemical Engineering.

5) Freshmen orientation weekend activity. HAH! I'm the food I/C, good food for sure. (10th april)

That's all about now. I shan't talk about the exams, cause it's OVER

2009-01-26T02:05:00.001+08:00

Happy Chinese New Year!

I wish every a happy and prosperous lunar new year. And Just to make a short update. I will not be updating my blog anytime soon. Till exam's over probably.

2009-01-15T22:30:00.002+08:00

I'm finally 18

I want to thank those who wished me, especially those who stayed up till 12.00am (despite having school the next day)to wish me, I truly appreciate the well wishing. Of course, I love the card made by Meiyin, the spoon from Charmaine, the signature pen from Zakkiyya, Yewchuan, Jeslyn and Jing Zhao and of course the surprise celebration by Daniel, Charmaine, Firdaus, Benjamin, Meiyin, Amanda, Joey, Khabir, Alex and Amiel. Thanks alot!

Anyway, haven't been updating my blog since the start of the new year. So I shall list down somethings that had happen.

1. I'm in the committee for FOWA 09/10
2. I'm the GL of FO 09/10
3. I'm hand picked to be inside Enrolment
4. My birthday
5. Watched Red-cliff 2 ( it's great)

As much as that, nothing really much happened, and I'm kind of in a lazy mood to elaborate. So I'll just stop the post here.

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

Happy New Year Everyone!

Say goodbye to 2008 and hello to 2009.
Let me just blog down whatever that happen in 2008 on the first day of 2009(it might be long)!

1) Going to SRJC for PAE. It was a good experience of JC life for me. If I'm not wrong I even chiong studies in PAE cause I initially thought I would make it to JC. But crap, I didn't

2) Getting back O's. Initially, I happened to dream of the O's result being sent to my doorsteps. When I open it, I got 12 points for L1R5, with Janice and Eng Khong getting 9 and Meiqi 12. I did told Janice about the dreams though. I went to MOE site to check and happened to see a section saying that results will be sent to my house. So I immediately called Janice and asked her to read and she was ecstatic cause it seems as though my dream came through.

However, when I read on.. It's only for private candidate. If only my dream just came true.. I'll be in JC instead of Poly. I remembered how much I cried because I'm disappointed with my results. I couldn't get over the fact that I did so badly. Missed JC by 1 point. Crap

3) Got a new job introduced by Huiting. Met alot of friends while working.

4) Went for Freshmen Orientation Camp. It was hell lot of fun. Made great friends in the camps.

5) Freshmen orientation week, got lost in school because the damn facilitator didn't wait for me and didn't even tell me there's a change of class. Lucky I met Yew Chuan and his friends and we went to look for the class together.

6) Flag day for CIP, a whole day hardwork with my new classmates and I only got 30 bucks. Not considered a bad thing.

7) Genting trip with my Primary school friends. It felt different when going with friends and going with family. It's more fun with friends cause there's lots of crazy stuff we can do together.

8) Winsor Chalet. Double celebration. Firstly would be the birthdays of my fellow Winsor brothers and "mummy". Next I get to find out that I got 3.72 for my GPA.

8) Mr and Miss Singapore Polytechnic 08/09. It's a good thing because I get to gain experience in planning an event as well as making new friends (inclusive of the contestants). It's a bad thing cause, it's too time consuming and it really took a tow on my studies.

9) Christmas was great. However in terms of money, it's bad. I spent a bomb during christmas period.

10) Appreciation Dinner was a blast. It's similar to a Prom Night but it's just better. Much better than in Secondary School of course. In Secondary school, I don't even get to attend my own Prom Night.

Well, that's the last of it. Well, at least it wasn't really a bad year. Just that bad things happens. Well, I'll just end here.

2008-12-29T18:54:00.005+08:00

Call me a nerd for all I care. I'm gonna mug like crazy to get my 3.8 for GPA. I'm slacking too much for this semester and after the MST, I feeling rather guilty not working hard enough. Mugging shall start as of now.

Anyway, today's first day of school. Let's say, I've got back my physics result and it sucks totally. I have to aim high for the rest of the assignment and other quizzes to achieve at least a B. As for the practical, it's dumb cause almost the whole class couldn't get the right solution to be used for back titration. Some redo probably 13 times and still not get it. I've done 10 times and only got one readings. It's totally dumb.

Alright, I shall end it here for now.

2008-12-27T01:28:00.012+08:00

I'm back from Appreciation Dinner at Conrad's. The entire event was awesome, just that there were too little lucky draw prizes and I didn't get to win the Ipod Nano Chromatic (Damn It). But still it was great.

For the start, Daniel and I met up at Boon Keng. While walking I was thinking, why didn't we took the cab cause everyone was looking at us. Trust me, we're seriously overdress so we ended up taking the cab. As a result we're there early and we had to wait for about 2 hours before the entire event start.

Alright, there was this point of time during the dinner, the whole table of us (12 people) were urgent and needed to go to the loo. So we waited for Charmaine to finish her bowl of soup before heading to the toilet. But just when we're about to leave the ballroom, Shan Wee announced that a game is starting and all of us ran back to our seat and played. We won of course.

So after the game, "twin", Sarah and I headed to the toilet first. I walked in front, leading the way, while the other 2 walked behind me. So I entered the guys toilet and guess what? The both of them actually wanted to enter the gents as well. Lucky they stopped. The guy behind them were hilarious. He was in a state of shock when they see "twin" and Sarah almost entered the toilet and when they turned, the guy was pointing towards the girls toilet. Can't stop laughing.

Nothing interesting after that, just food after food being served and finally was time to dance and take pictures? I supposed that's all for today. So here are the pictures.

2008-12-25T01:27:00.002+08:00

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Oh well, I'm feeling the pinch in my pocket now. I've spent a bomb on a dinner and will be spending more for the next 2 days. Overall my expenditure for this month is 300 over. FUCK! Alright, just leave it aside. I'll save up again -.-..

Have had dinner at Hotpot Culture with Weifa, Lisi, Marilyn, Nian Deng, Garrett, Fiona, Kelly, Priska and Zhiyong. Ate to my fill, since it was a steamboat-cum-ala carte- cum-fondue buffet. However, I paid 30+ dollar for it though. Alright, I sounded cheapo, but I'm desperate for money to save. Anyway, Xiwen didn't join us for dinner, just exchanged present with her before she and I headed home. Well, the picture I shall post it up when I've received it.

P.S I'm turning 18 soon.

2008-12-20T00:34:00.002+08:00

Saving up for my overseas trip is driving me crazy. The expenditure overseas is definitely high, in Hong Kong particularly. However it's hard to save up, especially during Christmas period, saving up is almost impossible. My wages are halved because I had to buy my brown leather shoe (100+) for Appreication Dinner this coming Friday. I had to eat at Hotpot culture ($25+) and Hard-rock($25+) on Wednesday and Thursday. On top of that Christmas presents for 4 (80+). Hah, there goes half of my pay -.-.

2008-12-13T23:51:00.002+08:00

I'm sorry I couldn't post up Charmaine and Daniel's birthday celebration pictures just yet. My main computer where all the pictures are stored in wouldn't start up. Therefore, I had to send it for repair. But I'll post it up when the computer is ready.

Work was great, so far. I've made some new talking mates and new friends in the new yet not so new environment. New in a way that, it's my first time being to newly renovated Metro Sengkang and being with new bunch of promoters I've never seen before. At least, it's good to be back for a few days.

However, there's something that I wanted to complain. There's always something lacking whenever I go to Sengkang. It's either there's no blotter or there are no tester. It just suck when you're not able to sell something that's freaking sell-able but couldn't sell it off because of the lack of testers..

Bleh, just leave it, just needed some place to rant out my thoughts.

2008-12-10T23:36:00.005+08:00

I'm happy with my achievement for my Standard Chartered 10km Run. I did better in terms of position as a whole.
Compare between this 2 results. What more, I'm under different category. Last year I was classified under 16 years old category, now I'm under 18 year old category. On top of that, there are more runner this year.

Last Year's

This Year's

2008-12-08T23:49:00.007+08:00

Alright, I've not posted anything about the Ben & Jerry Chunk Fest. But there's little I could say. Nothing feels good to meet up with my secondary school friends. Well, let's just let the picture do the talking.

Anyway, I shall take my time to update. However, take note that whatever that is posted isn't the actual date of posting.

2008-12-07T11:51:00.002+08:00

Ran Standard Chartered 10Km Run today. I beat my previous time by 5 minutes. Previously was 54 min now 49min. Of course, the run today is way better than Nike Human Race (Complete disaster). At least today, the people know that have to run/jog until they reach a certain point so as to not block anyone. The people for Nike Human Race, walked from the start. That's dumb.

Anyway, I'll blog about yesterday's paintball outing and Ben and Jerry's chunk fest outing after I get up from my nap. I'm damn tired now.

2008-12-04T16:45:00.002+08:00

Material In Practice suck! The entire module is so damn dry. It's like going through D&NT when I was in Secondary 1 and 2.

The module is so freaking dry that the moment you're on the 2nd page of the notes, you'll be yawning. There's no way I can listen in class. The teacher is a bore, he has a high tendency of going out of topic. The terms he used were like alien language to me. Damn it!

2008-11-30T21:29:00.002+08:00

Damn it, my study table is in a total mess that I barely have the motivation to continue study. While my mum is installing the new printer, all the stuff have to be shifted temporarily to the study table and there, it gets even worse.

Okay, let me just post something about Friday. Celebrated Stanley's and Alex's birthday at Fish & Co. Actually, on that day, both 'mummy' and I were craving for potato salad at Kenny Roger. A pity, our craving wasn't satisfied as there wasn't enough seat to fit 10 of us. So we walked one round to search for an alternative choice of place to dine.

Okok, let me not waste time. I shall start my revision again. See ya

2008-11-22T20:32:00.004+08:00

Mr and Miss Singapore Polytechnic 08/09 has come to an end. Been working hard for this event for so many months. Stayed back in school to co-ordinate the dance training session for the contestants. Well, I'm definitely going to miss those days. I'm afraid I will need sometime to get use to being free, I guess.

To the contestants: all of them did great. Be it their talent time, couple & mass dance, cat-walk and their question and answers. I, whether or not they win any titles, congratulate them for being in the finals of Mr and Miss Singapore Polytechnic.

The results:
Mr and Miss Singapore Polytechnic 08/09 - Shahril & Aqilah!
Mr and Miss Photogenic - Richard & Aqilah
Mr Physique and Miss Body Beautiful - Shahril & Xueying
Mr Personality and Miss Congeniality - Edmond and Xueying

I will do my personal evaluation for this event some other days. But for now, let just enjoy some pictures that I have with me.

2008-11-16T20:04:00.003+08:00

Been really lazy today. Afternoon was sunny, absolutely great weather for a swim and tan. However, I was reluctant to walk to the bus stop to take a bus to the swimming pool. So in the end, I stayed at home and did my own workout.

My revision today wasn't very productive. I did only 1 module and I went to take a nap. Besides I still have 3 more modules I planned to revise today. So after this post, I shall stop my break and continue with my revision.

Oh well, these are some photos from yesterday.

2008-11-15T23:10:00.000+08:00

I guess I have to update now?

So first, Mr and Miss Singapore Polytechnic. This is the event that I've been working so hard on. Sacrificing my precious study time to stay back in school till 9pm and having late dinner. It's coming up on the 21th of Nov, which means to say, this Friday. There're things that screwed up because of mis-communication, organization and planning. But still have to hang on in there. After all, it'll be all over soon.

Second, schedule the contestants, Celeste and I had for today. It was totally packed. 9am - 11am was dance training, 1pm - 2pm was cat-walking session and ~~3pm - 5pm was retro fitting~~. I have to say, lucky that the retro fitting was cancel, or else we wouldn't have much accomplishment.

Next, Critical Reasoning Skills assessment. Was made to identify author's thesis, reasons and supporting detail. On top of that, personal evaluation on the article I chose. I would say, the entire assessment went smoothly. Just that, I got a little nervous and I started blabbering abit. But overall, it was good. Hope I get a good grade for this.

Last, outing with my Secondary school friends and form teacher. Have had dinner with them at pizza hut. She gave us a treat though. Followed on, we started window shopping. Walking about the mall. It was great to catch up with them.

So, I shall end it here.

2008-11-09T12:38:00.002+08:00

Yesterday Wave's Concert by SPDC (Dance Club) was awesome. Those dance move were eye-catching. The entire show has a storyline and choreography based on a storyline? It's way COOL. Besides, the whole show was awesome because my friends were dancing and they're great dancers! Well, I've to admit that throughout the whole dance, I'm only spotting my friends and watching them dance to the beat. I guess everyone who sat around me does that.

Anyway, I've got to start saving up for my trip to Guangzhou, Hongkong and Macau with my primary school friends. My mum only agreed to sponsor me the air ticket and nothing else. That means I've to work my ass off during the holiday so that i've got money to spend during the trip.

I'm gonna end my post here. Need to start studying. *I'm such a mugger*

2008-11-01T16:20:00.003+08:00

Haven't been blogging regularly these days. Can't be blamed. My union project and school work have already occupied most of my time. By the way I'll make it a point to update my blog at least once a week.

Ok, back to what I want to blog. There's a thing I'm not happy about. 2 words "Last minute". Everytime something is arranged, because of some invalid last minute reasons the whole arrangement is screwed. It's even worst then time is ticking away. I dread it.

Now leave that, I guess I have to start studying. I have to balance these 3 things for now: MMSP, Studies and Working out. I know it'll be hard but I have to deal with it.

Shall end it here.

2008-10-21T23:01:00.004+08:00

Well, after school when training home with her. I don't know what came up to me, stress probably, I was a jerk to her. I don't know. I just suddenly acted that way. Wasn't in a right mind. Shan't elaborate. I doubt this will ever happen again.

SO CHARMAINE IF YOU'RE READING THIS. I'M SORRY I WAS A TOTAL ASSHOLE TO YOU.

Spent about 4 hours on my freaking tutorial. Did in with my mind half dead. Couldn't think of solutions at all. Made all sorts of careless mistake that could cause me my grade in exams. That sucks.

Now come to think of it, I'm so stressed up today. Thinking about how to do my tutorial with my half-brain dead. Now that's stressful cause I just hate it when I cannot solve a question and I'll spend the whole time wrecking my brain to find the solution and will never find the solution. That sucks.

Anyway, I'm gonna end here and going to bed.

Once again, CHARMAINE! I APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT I DID TODAY.

2008-10-19T00:07:00.002+08:00

Click to enter MMSP site

Today's no different from holiday. No plans for the day. So I had to stay at home and stare at the computer hoping some talkative souls would talk to me. Apparently, very little people were online so.. Just my luck.

Well, at least I did something healthy. I went for jog, a short one. Haven't been running cause the lazy bug bit me. Other than that, there isn't really much for me to blog.

Anyway, click onto the banner above and vote the contestants!

2008-10-17T11:00:00.003+08:00

Time do pass by quickly, it's almost the end of the week. So let me summarise what I've done for this week.

It felt good to be back in school, studying. Not that I'm a nerd. It's just that, it's boring staying at home with nothing to do. So when school was almost reopening, I was kind of looking forward to it.

It's great to meet my classmate again, haven't been in contact with them throughout the whole of the holiday. We had a good time catching up.

So far, I've been quite busy with MMSP stuff: co-ordinating dance trainings, photo-shoots attending meeting, etc. So busy with it that I had to go home at 9.00pm almost every day.
Another, all the stressed I've got from MMSP was lifted after clearing the problems and meeting datelines for task submission.
Anyway, Social and Sport committee will be organizing a paintball outing for union outing sometime during the 4th to 5th week of the term. I'm definitely looking forward to it.

Anyway, I'm drained from today's work, so I'm gonna end it with some pictures taken from the KBOX outing with union peeps.

2008-10-10T22:17:00.007+08:00

Alright! Today went down to school to oversee the finalist photoshoot. Well, only 2 couple took their couple shots, the other 3 pairs wasn't there. Well, after Alvina, Marvin and Edmond finished their individual shots, celeste suggest that both of us (co-ordinators) take one for fun. So these were* the 2 we took.

2008-10-09T22:33:00.004+08:00

I haven't been blogging for a long time and I guess this is the first post for this month. I must say I'm lazy to blog. But there are times when I have the motivation to blog, but when I logged in, I'll just lose it. So yeah.

Anyway, shall update a few stuff. First was the MMSP camp, it's great. Reason being, the main purpose of the camp was met. Another was that it bonded the committee together. This are the group photos taken.

Well, other than the camp there are other stuffs like: dance training for contestants, movie outings, etc. But I'm lazy to elaborate, so yeah. Anyway, I can't wait for school to start, another 4 more days. New classmates, no more boring days and better time-table. Well, can't wait.

2008-09-27T00:36:00.002+08:00

Today is the best. I've got to experience a once in my life time thing. Was never expecting myself to be watching the Formula 1 night race. I seriously have to thank Janice and her uncle for this experience man. Well, you can say I'm a cheapo, but free tickets, free drinks and birds eye view at the pit stop and the starting/ending point. It was a totally awesome experience.

You know, I thought that just F1 cars are still normal cars, won't make alot of noise. I was so wrong, when the car just whoosh pass, the loud can deafen your ears. Lucky Janice's uncle gave her 2 pairs of ear plug.

Anyway, this is my entry pass to the Sky Suite. Nice right?

Tried to take pictures of the cars and it was unsuccessful. If only i've got a SLR, I could've taken a better picture. Well this was a ferrari, see how fast it goes.

Well, lucky enough. The racers did stop at the starting point for a moment.

I shan't say much, i'll just post the pictures up.

Nothing to do so just take some random photos

The clearest picture taken

2008-09-21T20:06:00.003+08:00

I'm feeling restless right now. My eyelid are so heavy and I could just fall asleep anytime soon. Came back from Union LTC. Usually, in camps the number of hours of sleep is usually very little, especially in Polytechnics when all the activities stretches out until 3 - 4 am in the morning.

Comparing the previous camps I went to, I would say this is the better one. Firstly, LTC is a camp to impart leadership skills so it's very normal to have lectures about all the skills. However, in this camp, skills are imparted through the means of games. This is definitely a better way. Second, the night-walk was awesome. I actually experience scares in the night-walk. Wasn't really expecting the scares cause were told that no one will scare us, but to expect the unexpected. So this is actually what happen. Mummy meiying and I were partners so we walked together. So walked passed all the dark areas and nothing really happen. So we came to the bright area, above the yellow caterpillar. I tell you, most people would think that at bright areas who the hell would want to scare us, the GPs dropped a wig down. Initially I thought it was a bird so I ducked and when I looked up it's a damn wig and I got a shocked. I know this isn't really an ultimate, but at least it was my first scaring night-walk? Lastly, the last activity was damn fun cause we didn't get to win, but got to laugh ourselves silly. Imagine a whole bunch of people blind-folded having to make their way from the starting point to the finishing point without having to bumb into the obstacle. My group totally lost count and went out of direction. So we ending up in unexpected places filled with lizards.

Well, I'm done with what I have to say about the camp and shall end it here.

2008-09-17T17:51:00.002+08:00

I felt rather anxious to get my result that I had to borrow Stanley's Iphone to check my email at 2am in the morning. Hey, I'm not crazy. It's just so happen that the chalet coincides with the results release day. The whole bunch of us, inclusive of Stanley, aren't getting any sleep anyway. Well, I'm somehow satisfy with my grades and GPA. Should be able to take Diploma plus next semester. I think.

Anyway, backed from Winsor Chalet. Celebrated Mummy Meiyin, Khabir, Faiz and Jeremys' birthday. Well, this chalet was kinda of different from other chalet that I've been to cause there's no BBQ food! All we had for dinner was 4 pizzas and tidbits and it somehow filled our stomach.

Eh, I'll probably post up some photos tomorrow or whatever, I'm lazy to do it now. So.. yeah.
For those who want the photos, here's the link.

2008-09-13T21:41:00.002+08:00

I'm so glad that most of the contestants are actually enthusiastic people. In addition to that, lively, sociable and friendly. I felt somewhat relieve that they did enjoy themselves at sentosa today. Seriously, I was so afraid that they would feel bored. But lucky they didn't feel this way.

Anyway, got to meet all the contestants in the project and they've got character. There is this one contestant that impressed me. I was playing some games and I heard his singing while strumming his guitar. He sang I'm Yours by Jason Mraz and it sounded like Jason Mraz. He's singing was great.

By the way, I'm feeling kind of wavy now. I felt as though I'm still floating on the sea. Now even my sight made me see as though everything is in wavelike motion. Guess I'm that tired from all the running I've played today at sentosa.

I'll sign off here.

2008-09-12T01:09:00.000+08:00

Right, my temp job has finally ended. Not saying that I hate the job, it's just that the work is kind of boring. But, it's easy money and the people from the company are just so friendly.

Anyway, have had meeting for the upcoming MMSP camp. Had to try out all the games and get feed-backs. Not just that we had to do rekkie for the night walk that is suppose to be part of the programme.
[p.s Hey yunloong, sorry for not turning up. The whole thing ended around 11+]
So for the night-walk, while we walk through the route we had planned once. We decided to go on a second time, this time much later at night and darker. Somewhat similar to the actual night walk that is going to take place at around 12am. The rekkie was fruitful cause we had manage to get all the information we need and made tons of modification to the route. Of course, finalise the whole route. I bet the night walk is going to hell lot of fun for the contestants.

Other than that, I'm starting to love being in Poly. This topic just suddenly popped out of my mouth and yeah, most people present at that moment agreed.

At first, when I got back the O'level result, I was so upset over the fact that I scored so badly and that I missed the criteria for entering a JC by 1 point. I just couldn't accept the fact. I've been wanting to go to JC and Poly was never once taken into consideration. However, after so many months have passed, I felt that Poly life can be just as great. I've got great, enthusiastic classmates that made class lively. The friends I've made in Union were the people to bring life to my poly life. Now getting into a project committee is something new for me. I certainly do not get the chance to do that in secondary school. In fact, I must say, I was lucky to not get into a JC. If I was, I'll probably end up mugging to score well for Promos and A's.

Aright, shall end here. Tired!

2008-09-02T23:17:00.003+08:00

I felt so fustrated the moment I see my timing and my position in the nike plus website. My position was, 101235 and my timing was 1hr and 1 min. Great, the 12 mins walk, I could have easily gotten my targetted time.

Whatever it is, I shall ignore that for now and post about today. Well, I must say admin work is not as easy as I thought it would be. I could actually fall asleep while sorting out data. It seriously requires lots of mental strength to keep yourself focus.But like what Agatha say, it's easy money. $8/hr, the pay is much better than being a waiter at Ichiban. And another thing she said also made sense, the pay is high because it is so boring. haha! Well, I have to say good luck to Wei Fa tomorrow cause he'll be replacing me. He'll most probably be sorting out 6000 datas tomorrow.

Anyway, here are some photos taken during my poly class outing.

2008-09-01T21:01:00.002+08:00

I must say yesterday's run wasn't enjoyable at all.
Firstly, the massive traffic congestion made my brother, his friends and Jia Feng late for our run. We're supposed to be in the first pen, but due to the freaking congestion, we're forced to be on the second pen.
Second, my brother had to park his car all the way at golden mile and we had to walk and jog till we reached esplanade, that's a waste of energy.
Third, there's too many people and the lane for running is damn narrow, hence was forced to walk for about 12 minutes. There goes my goal for the run. I was aiming for below 50 min.
Lastly, at the water point, people walk! They're supposed to jog at least. But they're walking and taking extra servings of water. Not that it is wrong to take extra serving, but they took one cup walked further away from the point and return to take a second one, causing a huge massive human jam.
My timing totally sucked big time in this run and it sucked. My previous timing was 54 mins and now it's 1hr plus thanks to the human jam.
Anyway, I totally skipped the whole concert because I've got no mood and my belonging is in my brother's car, which was parked at golden mile. This sucks

2008-08-30T21:57:00.002+08:00

Right, today headed to school early in the morning for industrial visit to Jurong Island, my future work place. Anyway, what I plan to blog now is about my ambition.

Seriously, after the industrial visit to Jurong Island, I've suddenly gain an great interest in being a chemical engineer, of course under research and development. I feel so motivated and it actually made me feel that I'm lucky to have not gotten into a business course. Imagine getting to use the high technology equipment to do research, it'll be so cool.

Oh yeah, tomorrow will be the nike human race, can't wait for it to come.

2008-08-29T00:34:00.003+08:00

Alright, yesterday was the end of my paper. So goodbye to Engineering Maths I, Organic Chemistry, Chemical Engineering Principle B and Introduction to micobiology.
So, since it's the last paper, it's somehow relates to the start of the holiday!

Made use of yesterday to have our class gathering at Sakura Buffet at Science Center. The price wasn't really expensive cause school paid 7.50 per person, so we ended having to pay about 13.50 for the buffet, it's worth it.

Anyway, I'll be starting work from next week onwards. Can't wait, it's a new job at my aunt's place and the pay is good. So yeah. Shall blog again soon.

2008-08-27T00:00:00.002+08:00

Just 1 more paper left, and I'll be having my semester break.
First, the Organic and Inorganic chemistry was a manageable paper. However, I won't be expecting myself to get A grade for it, B would be just the grade.
Second, Biology was easy. All thanks to Dr Jin Kai, his tips was spot on man.
Lastly, Engineering mathematics, overall was easy, only one question that is challenging, other than that it's okay. But Mr YEW CHUAN had to tell me my careless mistake that make me kind of worry. But an A grade should still be possible.

Well, gotta mug for my one last paper, bye!

2008-08-20T22:13:00.001+08:00

I'm getting more and more confident of my ITM. The more I read through, the easier the revision paper. So I'll be reading through more.

2008-08-19T23:12:00.002+08:00

I've realised that, the best time to study is in fact after 11.00PM. No disturbance at all, no sound of the construction, no children playing and no interesting television show. Good environment for memorising Bio and study non-mathematical subjects.

2008-08-14T13:33:00.003+08:00

While waiting for the medicine on my hand to dry, I guess I'll just blog.
I've found out 2 weeks ago that I've warts on my hand, 3 warts to be exact. One has been eradicated.

Never mind that. This few days, I've been on a holiday mood rather than a serious mood for studying. End semester test is just next week and I've got absolutely no motivation to study at all. Well, all I can do now is just to plan out my time like I did during the MST period and start studying. Hopefully I'll be able to follow it through.

Anyway, I've read this news about this Hungarian weightlifter who dislocated his arm while carrying a 148kg weight. His first Olympic and it just ended like that. Felt so sorry for him.

2008-08-10T15:04:00.003+08:00

It has seriously been a long time since I last posted. So long to such that, Jun Hao thought the previous post on Ubin was the more up to date one. Yeah, Ubin was fun. Cycled the whole of ubin and it was great. But I'm just this lazy to elaborate on the whole event.
Yes, for people who went ubin and wants the photos, here are the picture URL.
CLICK HERE for Photos!

Shall update another time. It's time to mug!

2008-07-30T22:37:00.002+08:00

It seems that I haven't been updating for a week or so. Well, I can't be blamed. I've been tied up with reports and assignments to copied lately and had no time for blogging.

Having said that, I can finally heave a sigh of relief. I've completed all my presentations and practical assignments. What's left now is my last report. After that, I'll be freed from that module. I've already completed one, 7 more to go. Shall wait.

2008-07-20T22:09:00.006+08:00

Spent my day at Pulau Ubin with SPSU Social Committee. It was my first time there and I must say it's a whole new experience. The olden days experience, those kampong like houses, it's a new thing. In actual fact, the main purpose was to cycle there and explore. Even though the whole trip was tiring, but the fun kept me going. The thrills of exploring every single place that I've never been to, especially with my friends, that was the fun part.

Anyway here are the photos we took;

2008-07-19T23:45:00.003+08:00

Let me recap what had happened this week. Firstly, I'm shifted from Event I/C of MMSP (Mr and Ms Singapore Poly) to the male co-ordinator. Secondly, I'm feelin' stressed up; I've yet to start my report for Biology and have yet to complete my engineering mathematics problem base learning. Have yet to start preparing for IDEA's presentation. It sucks.

But on a lighter note, I think I will be able to pull through it all. In addition, I've already completed my RWP presentation. I think it was good; I didn't stutter nor did I said the wrong word. It'll turn out great, I supposed.
Anyway here are some pictures of my class. Well, I haven't posted any pictures of my classmates before. So yeah, here it is.

2008-07-13T21:32:00.002+08:00

Today's race was indeed a great experience for me. My first Dragon Boat competition ever. My team and I might have lost in the heats, but we did lose to the extend of getting thrash. In fact, I think we did great. It is a first attempt for almost everyone on the boat, hence having no competition experience. However, being our first race, we're able to synchronize like an actual Dragon Boat team was good enough. Still, there's a need to improve..

2008-07-09T20:58:00.002+08:00

Did I mention that I'm in the Dragon Boat Junior Racing team for this Sunday's competition? Well, I'm looking forward to this competition. It'll be my first experience for a dragon boat competition. It's no longer just me and my partners racing down the lane. It's now about me and 19 other members co-ordinating and rowing our ass off down the lane. The thought of it felt great.

Anyway, today's training was a lot more tougher than the previous Dragon boat training. The sprints; 4x500, 4x300 and 2x100. It wore me out totally. I've got abrasions on my arm and butt. However, on a lighter note, I've got to use a competition life vest, which I have not used for about a year since I last kayaked, SP's boat and new pedal.
It felt great.

Now, I'll have to end my post here, I'm dead beat. So bye!

2008-07-06T21:30:00.002+08:00

Great! I have a wasted day today. Other than finishing up my powerpoint slides, there's nothing else done. No revision, no nothing. Well maybe for the jog at Machritchie.
I must say, it felt good running at Machritchie. Haven't been there for about a year now. The running route, it's probably 2 years now. It felt fresh.

Anyway, I've totally forgotten about the Mathcad test tomorrow. I thought I heard tuesday, but the actual date is tomorrow. I haven't read anything related to it at all. Guess I might just flunk it.

2008-07-05T17:22:00.002+08:00

Alright, I need to take a breather. I have been working on my powerpoint slides for the entire morning and I'm totally drained up. I couldn't do any sports because the weather sucks. In fact, the weather was rather promising actually. However, the promising weather disappear and totally whacked weather came. It's like on and off today.

Anyway, I'm feeling rather happy that I've finally got projects in SPSU. Had been waiting for my turn to come and now it's here. Firstly social committee that I'm in has to organize a SPSU outing. Second I'm in the event committee for the MMSP. Just so the one I wanted to be involved in. Great!

Alright, I have to get back to my power point slides. Shall end here

2008-07-04T14:03:00.002+08:00

I'm currently using my school's screwed up, low connectivity internet to make this post. Well, it's the only way for me to pass my time since I still got 1 more hour before 3 when my lesson would start.

Since it has been a long time since I last posted I would first want to update about my Mid semester test. It might be quite long ago, but still it's something worth to update.
Maths (EMI) was an easy paper, except for the linear law question which was rather tricky I guess. Biology (ITM) was a piece of cake. Whatever Yang Jie said actually came out; drawing, drawing and more drawing. I kept on smiling to myself throughout the whole paper. Inorganic and organic chemistry (I&OC) was still passable, but not with good result. Introduction to chemical engineering (ICHE) was challenging, however it's still manageable. Chemical Engineering Principle B (CEPB) was tough. Well, not the whole paper, it's only the last question. It's impossible to do. Well, if I pass with flying colour it's a miracle.

The second thing I wanted to post is my result. Yes my result. I've only gotten back my I&OC, EMI and ICHE.
I&OC - 36/50 - B

EMI - 98/100 - A

ICHE - 71/80 - A

I&OC is such a disappointment. I've worked so hard for it, but I've gotten that low marks due to countless of careless mistake. It sucks totally. ICHE was a surprise, I did mention that it was manageable, but I wasn't expecting myself to get a good grade for it. It feels great though. EMI, could get full marks, however, I've got marks deducted just because my gradient was more by 1 and I didn't simplify fully my expression. Anyway, it was a good start.

The third thing I want to mention is, I'm hooked onto swimming. Yes, Shona passed me the swimming bug. And yes, I could swim better than I could before. It feels great. haha thanks shona for teaching.

Well, shall end my post here.

2008-06-18T18:39:00.007+08:00

Finally! A day for me to unwind myself.
Well, have been studying for almost everyday this week. Even superman needs a rest. So, I've met up with Charmaine, Shona and Jun Hao for Ice skating at Leisure Park.

To tell you the truth, I have not ice skated for like 3 years and more. My friends were no longer into ice-skating and Leisure Park had been under renovation for a long time. So today's skating brought back lots of memory. Of course, it's lots and lots of fun too!

After skating, we're actually wanted to walk to esplanade since there's still plenty of time. However, rain decided to fall, so had to cancel the walk and hailed a cab to novena. Luckily, we did manage to talk some photos before we left the place.

Did I mention that Charmaine actually made herself silly by turning in circles on the ice skating ring. She felt like a little kid there. You know, she did told me not to blog about it. However, girls always don't mean what they say, so I'll just do the opposite. LOL!

Well! here are the photos.

2008-06-13T00:01:00.002+08:00

Kudos to me!
I've attained a no life life. Had absolutely no intention of going out, and all I do is study, eat, use the computer then sleep and the cycle goes on again. That's a great life I must say, not. I'm waiting for someone to ask me out. Holiday's a bore. I ain't working, i'm practically living the no life cycle.

Luckily I'm booked tomorrow. Heading to sentosa with my secondary school friends.
By the way, I completed my I&OC revision as well as mastering newton method!
It was a great accomplishment. 3 hours solid studying, with absolutely no distraction at all.

Oops! There goes the no life cycle XD

2008-06-05T19:08:00.003+08:00

I swear I have not wasted my entire day doing nothing. In fact, I did stuffs that are rather productive.

First, I revised through my organic chemistry. Next I did my engineering mathematics term test revision and I scored full marks. Third, I printed out the revision question for organic chemistry and lastly, finished them. So it's not considered a wasted day. However, I did not even start revising on my microbiology though I planned to do so. Had no motivation to study it at all..

Right, have I mentioned about this hilarious conversation which my twin and I had yesterday? We're practically crapping the whole time, talking about crazy stuff and making ourselves feel silly. Haha, and I sang a song for my twin on MSN (through typing of course). And I know it totally made her go gaga. LOL!

2008-06-04T10:58:00.003+08:00

I've already set aside alot of time for my studies.
I felt that I'm losing out on my studies.
Had made goals for this holiday, which is study and training.
It might sound like a no life life, but I'm still going out to unwind myself.
So it's not considered as a no life life.

Oh I just remembered I had some photos taken while working. Well, the only day I'm working this month.
By the way did I mention that my new colleague kept asking me to look up and stare at people, particularly females, thats coming down from the escalator? It's funny cause she's a girl and she kept on staring. Anyway, it just so happen that our booth was situated right below, on the side, of the escalator. So.. yeah, you'll know.

Here are the photos!

2008-05-28T21:16:00.002+08:00

oh damn..
I'm getting so freaking stressed up.
With all the reports that I have to hand up, I could hardly take a breather.

So Wei Xiang put this in his MSN message, is Poly life worse than JC?
Honestly, my answer is actually no difference. Comparing the course I am in and those in JC, we're just as busy. Busy handing up out assignment on time..

Sigh..

2008-05-25T21:46:00.004+08:00

I swear I almost got an heat stroke. The weather is simply horrendous. In addition to that, I had to wear a jumper to raft. It's nuts, seriously. Nevermind that, I'm random.

Anyway, I must comment that today's event was quite a failure. There isn't any fair play at all. What's with the imaginary line shit. You call rafting from lane 4 to lane 1 an imaginary line? You call, having d7 banging to my boat, an imaginary yet fair path? What load of bullshit. What sort of judge are they man! It's so clear that d7 banged into our boat yet they weren't disqualified and they got second and we got a fifth? It's it's crazy that you have to pay a sum of $50 just to lodge a protest which is not of any use. That's shit.

Brr.. Shits happen..

Anyway, I've got abrasion on my arms. I didn't know it initially. It was only when I rolled up my sleeves to get an even tan that I realised that I have bruised marks on my arms.

Well, here's the F3000, the raft CLS built.

So here are the pictures taken by Huiting on the speed boat. FYI, she's the race starter.

I seriously have to comment about this photo. It's the best photo taken. It looks as though Shona and I were on a holiday. Great photography huiting

2008-05-23T23:05:00.002+08:00

Let's see..
It is already the end of the week and the week after next will be the start of my 3 weeks holidays. Well, I suppose holidays won't be holidays. With all the reports that I have to rush, 3 weeks would definitely not enough for me to enjoy.
Sigh..

2008-05-21T22:35:00.003+08:00

I have to seriously push myself further. However, with limits of course.
I'm already pushing myself to get back the fitness I used to have in the past...

Just today, I went back to my Secondary school to visit my canoe team.
I had a reminiscence of myself being a canoeist: being able to run like without even getting stitches; being able to do pull ups; being able to do push ups like no body else business. It felt great.

However, just look at me now. I'm trying so hard to get back the fitness I once had. Guess where it landed me? A unfit guy whose muscle were once a rubber band now turned into a rope which has already broken. Unable to do my pull ups, chest pain after hundreds of push ups. It sucks.

When I looked at my juniors training it made me feel rather inferior all of a sudden.
If only I could have my fitness back once again.

For your information, I've lost all my strength after pushing myself over the limit during canoeing training; when I was doing my pull ups. It totally sucks. Shall learn from experience, train with limits and nothing will go wrong.

Going to Malaysia is simply mind torturing. I've sat in the car for nearly 3 and 1/2 hours. 2 and 1/2 hrs at Malaysia, Johor, checkpoint and another 1/2 an hour at Singapore's. The rest of the time is the time for me to get home from the checkpoints.
To sum it all up, it's almost a wasted day.

Well, shall end with a short post. So Bye!
