and so my birthday ended..

had my first cake in office on fri evening..

met choon lim n company for a simple dinner..

went on to play e card game CL brought along (i can nvr rmb the name of e game)..

reached hme around 3 plus..

was actually very touched cuz i rmb they celebrated for me last year too..

come to think of it, i dun rmb us meeting up during any of their bds..

feels like i'm given special treatment.. so nice of them.. =)

met ivan n gang on sat morning..

k-lunch followed by a movie, dinner, and finally at st james..

it was ok at first when they tossed me one by one..

was still ok when we play guessing game and the loser had to drink..

the nightmare came slightly before 12am when they gave me my bd present..

i followed them to the bar counter and they bought me this drink..

they say its called 'waterfall'..

i only rmb the bartender pouring flames down the bottle..

upon finishing e drink, i went back to our table and had more vodka..

5 mins after that i was gone..

first i PUKED beside our table and i could hear alot of screams..

cuz there were pple everywhere where i puked..

went to the toilet for a second round.. of puking..

came back to our table n i concussed for 1hr plus..

occassionally waking up to puke into the glass jar..

finally my frenz had enuff fun and decided to leave ard 3..

puked once again outside st james, and i stained my nike shoes!

was glad that the cab driver was an experienced one and i managed to survive the ride..

puked one last time when i reached hme, before i had my shower n went to slp..

slpt at 4plus and i woke up at 8plus!

bathed n changed, all ready to go play bball at changkat..

BUT i realized that i was feeling damn weak, nauseous, sick giddy and wateva..

decided to lie on bed for a while more n i nvr got up..

stayed at hme whole day, and my hangover lasted till mon late afternoon..

i swear not to touch alcohol for one whole month..

not even the baileys in my hse..

though i was feeling so sick, i got up at ard 6 in the evening to do my work..

been rather busy with work and often have to bring work hme to do..

this few days been great.. went out with my colleagues to watch 'Secret' and i think its very nice..

met Ailing yesterday for dinner and watched 'Dead Silence'..

show was not bad and somehow a little similar to 'Secret', but of cuz 'Secret' is better.

had my usual sunday morning bball juz now and i'm gg to watch another movie later on..

3 movies in a row.. damn i'm gg broke..

updates..

2007-08-12T09:08:00.000-07:00

had a v long day last sat..
worked in the morning, followed by ippt in the afternoon..
zouk at night, and went to fetch sis back frm hk after that..

no chance to train for my ippt cuz of work..
but managed to retain my silver, and i'm proud of it..
nxt year onwards i'll be in Cat Y and i believe a silver shld be np..

zouk wasn't that fun cuz the music sux and i was damn tired by then..
the decision to go pick my sis was a last min one that i made on my way hme from zouk..
i didn't know the exact time of her flight nor the flight no.
but i know she'll bring back alot of things..
indeed, she bought e most things among her frenz..
like brother like sis..

work was boring for the past 2 weeks as i have nth much to do..
however, boss handed me a new project on Friday..
OT till 8.40pm that night and till 3.30pm yesterday (sat)..
prob will have to OT everyday nxt wk except Fri cuz i'll be meeting my frenz..

its kinda funny that i already have 3 friends wishing me happy bd when my bd is still a wk away..
this year is kinda different cuz i think i've grown a little since i started workin..
as a workin adult i have my responsibilities and i'm slowly tryin to get used to it..

kinda miss hall life recently..
not gg to sch when i dun feel like it.. late night suppers..
ihg bball.. table-tennis, tennis, badminton.. vball..
and most importantly, my hall friends..

bought a new pair of bball shoes!

went on a date! and got caught by miss yeo n marvin.. -_-"

took neoprint for e 3rd time in my whole life..

first day of work

2007-07-12T22:23:00.000-07:00

OT..

toothbrushes and sex

2007-07-11T17:47:00.000-07:00

The kids filed back into class Monday morning. They were very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on productive salesmanship.

Little Sally led off: "I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30,">she said proudly, "My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success." "Very good," said the teacher.

Little Jenny was next: "I sold magazines," she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events." "Very good, Jenny," said the teacher.

Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath. Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467," he said. "$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling?" "Toothbrushes," said Little Johnny. "Toothbrushes," echoed the teacher, "How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?" "I found the busiest corner in town," said Little Johnny, "I set up a Dip & Chip stand. I gave everybody who walked by a sample. They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like shit!" Then I would>say, "It is shit. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"

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

6 weird things abt myself..

2007-05-21T00:07:00.000-07:00

tagged by my guai4 mei mei to do this..

This is what you are supposed to do. Cut and paste if you decide to participate in the tagging game. Each player of this game starts off by giving 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.
After you do that, leave them each a comment letting them know you tagged them and to read your blog.

1. I cry quite often. can even cry listening to a sad song or watchin a sad show. i dun like to go to the hospital cuz most of the times when i see my frens or relatives on the hospital bed, my tears will drop. however, i will not show my tears in front of others, esp gals.
2. I used to be very shy. in fact its becuz of my shyness that makes pple think i have attitude problem. i can't talk to gals and i have probably less than 5 female frens before i came into ntu. i still have this problem but it is not as bad now.
3. I have breathing difficulties since young and i have always suspected i have either nose or throat cancer. i also suspect i have many other diseases becuz of all my unhealthy habits. i basically sleep after every meal. i have slight breathing difficulties in small enclosed spaces and thats y i like to study in canteen A which is v spacious.
4. I have slight hearing problems as well and i dunno y. i can only rmb my pri 6 form teacher Mrs Teo frm Min Xin Pri Sch pulling my ear so hard that it bleeds, and i could not hear with my left ear. i was so scared that i'm gonna turn deaf that i cried and my parents went to sch to confront her the nxt day.
5. I seriously dun wanna be rich. maybe cuz i watched too much tv, i always believe that with money comes it problems. shall not elaborate too much. all i have to say is that i'm pretty contented with wat i have now.
6. I love vampires since young and i dunno why. i love all vampire shows esp those chinese ones which are rather stupid. i have a vampire dream that kept repeating itself for quite a few years. each time the dream was exactly the same and i had the dream more than 20 times i think.

shall not tag anyone. dun really know who else reading my blog except for those who left msges in my tagboard.. those who wanna do can juz go do it..

JC class gathering

2007-05-19T01:29:00.000-07:00

Went bugis today to meet Derek alex n Yvonne for dunnowat reason.. saw Jeanie with 2 of her friends.. Meisze and dunno who.. and Jeanie actually introduced her as Meisze, whos lookin for a bf, and me as yongli, whos lookin for a gf.. -_-’’

Went for our JC class gathering after that.. attendance was good.. me zhongyang jiarong gerald and choonlim.. 5 out of 30.. anyway we tried Vietnam food at Va Va Boom Café (hope I got the name right) and the food was ok.. Gerald had to go back to work after that, while the 4 of us had fun playing a card game introduced by choonlim.. I forgot e name of the game but I hope to have a chance to play with them again cuz I lost in both rounds and I wanna have a chance to win..

Anyway the gathering was great.. looking forward to future gatherings..

recent happenings..

2007-05-17T23:26:00.000-07:00

Been rather busy lately even though exams are over.. shifted all my things back hme from hall, threw away quite a lot of things.. end of my hall life.. needa thank so many pple for making my stay in hall 10 a memorable one.. moving from hall 6 to hall 10 was a choice I nvr regretted.. played ihg bball, involved in Lovebites, FOC, attended DND etc.. made many friends here.. though I believe many of them will be passing friends whom I might not really keep in touch from now on..

Met many different kinds of people.. started to dislike, or even hate ah tiongs.. ATs who smell from 5metres away.. guys who are pretentious and basically devoted all their time to mahjong and gals, even though they are attached.. guys who simply watch anime, play games etc whole day long and refuse to study despite constant nagging by friends who care.. guys who are actually condemned by almost everyone else becuz they are weird.. gals who actually talk to their soft toys, and believe that their toys are ALIVE.. pple who are studying all the time and having gd results.. pple who nvr attend lectures and still get good results.. pple who emailed the entire ntu population cuz they thought ntu lecturers could not make it.. pple who stay awake at night and sleeps in e day.. all kinds of pple.. u name it, we have it here in ntu hostels..

cases of theft happen all the time.. laptops, handphones, bras wateva.. I even caught 1 thief last sem.. did a study and I realized that indeed the probability of having ur bra being stolen is much higher during the exams period.. STRESS they say is the cause..

nonetheless met many GREAT friends here.. those who’ll help me with my studies when I needed their help.. those who’ll mug with me during the exams period.. those who’ll lend me their laptops when mine crashed in the midst of my fyp.. those who’ll feel hungry every night and jio me for supper.. those who I’ll have my meals with almost everyday.. those who never fail to walk past my room and popped in to see how I’ve been doing.. without knocking the door first.. those team-mates I had bball trainings with.. those who trusted me enough to let me play in the starting lineup.. those who never fail to tell lame jokes to create laughter.. gals who burp louder than guys..

fyp finally came to a close with my presentation last wed.. the presentation wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be.. I was familiar with what I did and was not really nervous during the presentation.. could also answer the qns asked by the moderator.. designed the fyp poster to be placed in the CHFE lab and printed out the whole report in the lab, saving me about $50.. currently needa design a CD cover and that will mark the official end of my sch life.. unless I am accepted by NIE to be a PE teacher.. all thanx to Alan’s influence..

Didn’t get to go OEC becuz of the stupid NTU system.. shall not talk much abt it in case I get SUED for wateva things I say.. anyway I juz wanna say I HATE MACRITCHIE reservoir.. in case all of you dunno wat I’m saying, go look up the staff names directory..

Celebrated Jeanie’s 21st birthday on Saturday and it was fun meeting those guys.. probably my closest friends in hall.. caught “Spiderman” after the dinner though I was like damn tired.. quite a nice show I think, though I nvr watched part 1 and 2.. hope I’ll have chance to meet up with them again..

period..

2007-04-24T01:22:00.000-07:00

yup.. u read the title, so dun take offence of wat i'm gonna say..

had 2 papers today, both if which i left the exam hall early.. so far out of the 4 papers i took this sem, 3 of the papers i left early.. and i think i'm damn 'zai'.. come to think of it for the past 3.5 years i had only left the exam hall early on 1-2 occassions.. now actually i think only a few types of people wld left early..

first kind is the damn 'zai' who finishes early.. second kind the 'most of the qns dunno how to do so give up' i think i belong to the last kind.. the 'those qns know how to do do v fast those qns dunno how to do dun really give a damn cuz know sure pass and only aiming for a B' kind..

anyway, i have 1 last paper left on this Friday.. shld be ok.. i hope.. i'm damn bored now and no one ard is free.. haizz.. looking forward to tmr.. gg out watch movie again!

somehow today terry keep stepping on my toes.. i dunno why.. maybe cuz i period this few days.. can see from my attitude.. though he's a damn nice guy, his sense of humour sucks.. at least thats wat i think.. seriously.. realized our frequency v far apart.. oh yah.. and wats wrong with wanting to eat ice-cream when he asked me whether i wan Mac.. he actually thinks i'm joking! nvm.. anyway i dun really like Benjamin (for no wateva reason.. plainly cuz i got attitude problem) so i wun wan his help to buy back.. thanx for asking..

somehow i'm a very straightforward guy whos abit naive in his thinking, and hence when i see the people around me (i dunno whether they are considered my friends) doing the things they're doing, i seriously dun agree with wat they are doing, and dun understand why they are doing it.. well, if u think my attitude pissed u off sometimes, you pissed me off too..

i have a few friends (yes, i consider them my friends, but not the ones i was referring to in the previous paragraph) whos so into Christianity that they believe that everything they had is wat god and Jesus gave them and i believe i will nvr understand their thinking, cuz i'm 99% sure i'll nvr believe in christianity.. i believe that people shld have confidence and believe in themselves instead of thinking that it is God that gave them the power to do certain things.. yup.. and so i'll be gg to hell even though i may be a nice guy, juz becuz i dun believe in HIM..

some of my friends are quite well-off, at least more well-off than me, and i dun undertand why they had to scrimp and save and survive on biscuits and instant noodles almost everyday! i seriously dun mind treating them but i am sure they will reject my offer.. well, i know its gd not to ANYHOW spend money but at the very least i believe their health shld come first.. at least eat some proper food! i know its not cheap studying in uni and staying in hall.. i know u all do not wanna depend on ur parents.. but money can be earned later when u grad and get a gd job.. at least eat sth proper!

pls note that i'm writing all these down cuz i'm damn bored and i'm having m period, so pls dun get offended by wat i say.. if you're really not happy, well, i dun really care.. =)

FUCK nobody..

today is 三day..

2007-04-16T01:50:00.000-07:00

after 3-4 weeks of inactivity, i finally got a chance to play basketball again this morning, at Changkat.. was glad to meet the guys, alan, pai kia, superstar, simon, robert, uncle etc.. surprisingly my performance was not too bad.. worthy of the MVP for the day award.. hahaa.. i think everyone's slackin while playin bball now.. due to various reasons.. and the turnout is also getting a little pathetic.. wanna go out challenge other pple i also dun think some of us are fit or healthy or young or wateva enuff.. anyway, i had fun! got a chance to tan also! can't stand my skin looking so fair..

went back lab to do my FYP at 8pm! i have absolutely no idea why e pple from LTA wanna come juz when my exams is starting and i have no idea my prof or mentor did not push back the date.. well my mentor offered to present to them my fyp so that i can prepare for exams.. at least better than nth.. but i have idea y he wanna make me go back lab today! argh..

went to find Beverly n company at south spine and studied with them till 12am.. probably she's the only one to jio me to study this semester.. haizz.. everyone i jio also reject me.. except zhiwei.. =)
anyway it was kinda fun studying with them in the seminar rm.. reminds me of last year when i was studying with yz n company in 1 of the tutorial rms there.. i would like to thank Yong Hong once again for helping me that time!

i think studying with Bev they all is fun, better than studying alone in canteen 11.. so probably i wun be studying in canteen 11 anymore.. finally i have friends to study with! hahaa.. frens in need are frens indeed..

i love my fyp..

2007-04-13T23:55:00.000-07:00

my mentor juz called me at 6pm today, telling me the pple frm LTA are coming to view my FYP either nxt Tuesday or Thursday.. GREAT!

anyway i juz realized that i've been enjoying myself too much for the past few weeks.. its time to start mugging!

watched "The Number 23" and i give it 7.4 out of 10.. the story of a psychological killer.. i like it.. cuz i like psychology.. maybe someday, i'll write a book too.. had some thoughts after watchin the show.. there's a possibility that i might become like him.. i can't rmb much abt about the things that happened when i was in sec school and before.. for all u know, i might have been a murderer in the past, or i might have done sth i felt so bad abt that i have been subconciously avoiding that part of my memory..

shall not waste too much time blogging here.. i needa get busy..

no mood to study..

2007-04-11T02:39:00.000-07:00

my routine now is every sunday to thursday night 10.15pm to 12.15am, you'll find me at can 11 studying.. but somehow i dun really have the mood to study!

finally got back my fyp report first draft today.. and i think i gotta add in more stuff.. but i'm glas my prof says i only needa hand in before first of may.. no rush.. anyway my fyp is not finished yet and there's actually still lots of stuff to be added in and amended..

went for a run juz now and my timing was 16 mins 37 secs, exactly the same as my last run.. i'm gonna buy 4D this sat n sun.. wish me luck.. i need the cash to go Hong Kong..

~looking forward to this coming thursday..

never underestimate the power of spoilt milk

2007-04-09T23:35:00.000-07:00

read the title.. i LAO SAIed 5 times today..

updates..

2007-03-31T01:08:00.000-07:00

went to watch "The Haunted School" on Tuesday.. went with Yvonne and Derek.. Derek says the show is damn chui, but i find it ok.. i'll give it 3 bballs out of 5.. its abit of horror, abit of romance, and abit of comedy.. hahaa.. the ending seems ridiculous at first cuz no one knows what it means, but when i was walking out of the cinema i managed to figure it out.. i think i'm damn smart..

the 3 of us had dinner at Pasta Mania after the show and someone's gf popped out of no where.. from then on, its ...... bought a few things on the way back.. i'm supposedly trying to save money for my Hong Kong trip but i spent about $40 that day..

i think this monkey is damn cute..

updates..

2007-03-23T08:51:00.000-07:00

well, went for the annual Hall Awards last week.. and i got the Best Sportsman of the Year! first guy in history to win the award playing just one sport! and i bet i'll maintain the record for at least a decade.. hahaa.. to win the award i think you've either gotta be real good at a certain sport and help your team win IHG, or you gotta be real good friends with the JCRC members.. hahaa.. and i'm neither.. but then again its only a rather useless piece of certificate.. unlike the 512 MB SD card for all the final years.. glad i'm a final year too.. hahaa..

anyway i heard that Jazzel was rather supportive of me during the voting.. not sure whether its true, but it seem kinda weird.. hahaa..

anyway i wasn't quite in the mood that nite.. actually feel kinda out of place.. cuz all the other final years were like a clique, while i dun really know some of them.. can't really fit in.. the kind of feeling.. juz like Naruto and Gaara.. haizz..

on a lighter note, i helped Kexin with her project and ran around our block to let her film.. and she roughly teached me how to use Windows Movie Maker.. now i can start making my own clips! will help with my fyp too..

and now i'm a part-time staff packing shoes for Tinkerbell.. wun be free every wkend 9am to 2pm.. which means no basketball for the nxt 2 months.. no choice.. need money for my Hong Kong trip.. its confirmed! gg on the last day of May!

the wedding..

2007-03-06T11:04:00.000-08:00

it was siqi and marvin's big day on sat and the few of us went to attend the solemnization at around noon.. after that was playing around with siqi's cousins, followed by preparing for the dinner.. it was rather rush and their friends were late due to the rain and the traffic.. turned out i was roped in at the last minute to help out with the video part.. was damn stressed by the task.. but glad that everything turned out ok..

everything ended around 11plus and unexpected we played mahjong till morning.. me zhongyang alan and hongyong.. and i turned out to be the big loser.. packed up and had breakfast after that.. took some pics as well..

the few of us were damn tired, especially me alan and zhongyang, and we had to go to siqi's house to pick up our belongings after that.. turned out we played "in-between" till 4plus.. my first time playing and i lost around 30 bucks.. anyway the whole event was very enjoyable though i got so tired i slept from 5plus till 9pm and missed ah heng's baby's first month and i didn't had steamboat with my family..

well i got this from Alan's blog:

Photographs and Gowns : $7000

Wedding Dinner: $28000 for about 30 tables (conservative estimates)

New HDB Flat (w/ 10% down payment) + Renovation : $35000

Honeymoon : $5000

Miscellaneous: $5000

all these add up to about $80000.. i wonder how on earth i'm gonna get so much money to get married.. still owe the bank $20000+ now.. jobless and still spending.. glad i'm still single at the moment.. no need extra expenses and no need to think of marriage so soon..

the dinner..

the bride and us..
tired the next morning..

tooth extraction

2007-03-02T02:45:00.000-08:00

went to extract my tooth at the school dental centre today.. no its not a wisdom tooth, juz a rotten tooth.. been having sleepless nights for the past 3 days due to the pain.. woke me up in the middle of my sleep and left me in pain.. decided to face my greatest fear to see the dentist so that i can sleep peacefully..

the extraction costs me $98 and much pain and some stitches on my gum to be removed next week.. i was told not to exercise or take hot or cold drinks or spicy stuff for the next few days..

my tooth..

on a lighter note, i played 3 rounds of mahjong this week in hall and today, i 自摸 my first 十三幺 ever..

chinese new year

2007-02-23T02:45:00.000-08:00

new year eve was fun, with the usual steamboat reunion dinner at home, followed by meeting the Extreme guys go Chinatown.. met Xueni at Cityhall mrt station and wasn't really that surprised that she know Ivan.. haven seen her for more than a year and she still look pretty much the same, juz as pretty.. and abit blur..

watched "Norbit" at Cineleisure and had supper at Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe after that.. we then chatted till 4 plus and reached home around 5 plus.. really enjoyed that night, been long time since i felt so relaxed, in the company of old friends..

"chu yi" went around to "pai nian" and slacked at home on "chu er".. guohui chang and wilsen came over my house at night and we played mahjong till 6plus nxt morning.. seems that whenever i'm with the Extreme guys i'll end up sleeping real late..

"chu san" went Derek's house "bai nian", and we played "blackjack".. all of us, me karen ruilin ber n daqing, lost to Derek's mum.. jean qiuyan sylvia n kaibin came later.. me daqing qiuyan n syl played mj while the rest dunno do wat.. ended up only daqing won, $9, all from qiuyan..

reluctantly went back hall at night.. wed's a boring day and so is thur.. school sucks..

had wanted to bring them home

dun ask me why i choose "nan"

we were smiling, but we were not winning..

sick on V-Day.. (my love story)

2007-02-16T09:40:00.000-08:00

was chatting with Kexin when i mentioned that i got sick on V-Day.. she then wrote a story for me.. hahaa..

since then~

little yongli had been searching high and low his true love

he braved through the storm and crawled through the dessert of fyp~

he climbed the hills and dashed through the jungles~

but he saw no gal who can catch his eyes and heart

he was disappointed~

then he prayed to the goddess of love again~

dear yue lao, please bao you wo~ can you give me a hint of where my true love will be?

the girl who will catch my eyes, catch my breath , and keep my heart with her for the rest of her life?

yue lao replied

" fret not, i had assigned a girl for you. the one who is destined to be with you will appear one day, she may not catch ur eye or breath, but she will keep ur heart with her with the most tendering care for the rest of her life. do not despair~

little yong li stood up using his last unit of strength and shouted to the sky furiously

"WHEN is the one day?! I had waited for all my 20plus years waiting and searching for her! haven't i done enough?! why did you assign others to meet their true love so soon and assign me to wait?! what wrong had i done?! look around, even here in the hall i live in, there are couples getting together everyday, and you are dumping me in this sea of loneliness. this is unfair!"

little yongli was furious, and perhaps more than that, he was upset, and depressed...

his last unit of strength was exhausted

he fell down to his knees

luffing, and tearing~

he was so sick and tired of this.

then~

from the deep blue sky echoed again, the words fromthe goddess of love

why are you in such a hurry? if you are so impatient, how are you going to support and share the rest of your life with ur true love. you ain't ready yet my boy. you ain't ready yet. spending a lifetime with ur loved one will take much more patience then it takes to await her.

in fact, many people around aint ready yet, and i am putting the into test to make them realise this, and hopefully you can see it and learn from their lessons too.

you may request to be put into test too, as you may think, even if it fails. you get a taste of it afterall, but my boy, with teh sweetness given to you, comes the agony of pulling you and the other party apart. furthermore, being with the right one, ur true love, is a whole lot more and different from being with a wrong partner. take these time i am sparing you to prepare yourself more,

so that when ur chance is bestowed upon you, when your real one is sent to appear in your life, you are ready to accept her, and will be ready and prepared to spend ur lifetime with her, and hand ur heart over to her.

every gets to the test, be thankful that you get more time to prepare urself."

just then~

a swirl and bright light flashed across his eyes~

so galring that he was threw behind on his back.

when he open his eyes again, the deep blue sky was gone, all left was a light blue sky with some white clouds floating around,

he hears the birds tweeting and he smells the flowers

daisies~ lavender~ chrysenthemun...~ ah~ all the fragrance~

he listens harder~

sparrows, myah, and that.... oh, the humming bird~

he realises that there are so many interesting things around him. the chirping of birds~ the fragrance from the flowers~

he looks at the water surface of the river besides him

the sunlight lays gently onto the crystal clear water.

the reflections appears so randomly in a charming pattern~

he stares at it for quite soem time, enchanted

he dips his finger into the water

the sudden cooling sensation brought him back to consious in the most refreshing way

he decided

he is going to explorre more beauty of life~ and observe things around him~ enjoy the beauty around him~

he went on and he was a happy chap~ playing basketball and table tennis on some days~

other days fiercely fighting the monster of fyp~

he got stress, he sweat, he plays, he laughed... and time went by

one day , year 2008, valentines day, he was sitting in the mrt, dozing off~

suddenly~

a flash of light appeared~

a glaring flash of light~

a familiar flash of light

he looked up and he saw the deep blue sky~

he was sitting on the grass land around a cliff again with the river flowing besides him~

a voice echoed through the deep blue sky

" are you happy with this life?"

he smiled and say " yes, there is so much to life, i am amazed. so much that i need more than a lifetime to explore~"

previously, i saw life as something so hollow, that i wanted to find my true love to fill up this empty space~

but now~ i see this life as so endless~ so long~ so much to explore~

" then i guess you are ready" the voice echoed

" why?

" ur true love is not thee to fill up empty spaces in u, and if you expect her to do so, it won't be a happy relationship, as you will be expecting things from her, like lots of attention, and expecting her to make you feel full and filled.

now that you see life as an endless journey, you got lota and lots to share with her, and relationship should always start of with intention to share, rather than to take. hence, you are ready for her. best wishes, young man!"

just then~

the same flash of light hit his face~ and pushed him back to land on his back~

he opened his eyes~

he had dosed off~

it was quite a pleasant dream and he felt quite comfortable~

just then, he realised that he was sleeping on the shoulder of the person beside him

" SORRY!"

he said anxiously~

as he drooled a little~

" it's ok."

he looked up

he saw a fine lady~

they looked at each other for a moment

and then she broke out with laughter~

she passed her a piece of tissue and he was a bit puzzled~

she motioned for him to wipe his mouth (rem? he drooled)

he was embarassed and he quickly wiped his mouth.

he looked at her, who is smiling......

nice job..

2007-02-08T21:37:00.000-08:00

took this a few days ago.. i wonder how it feels to have a job like this.. in fact i think i'll like it.. dun have to fight with anyone.. simple job.. and he's workin alone.. i think i'll like jobs that require me to work alone.. i dun really like to interact with anyone..

Letter of Commendation

2007-01-30T02:09:00.000-08:00

well, nothing much happened recently, juz that i received a letter from the Students Affairs Office.. a Letter of Commendation.. the letter goes:

"I will like to put on record your act of public-spiritedness on 8 January 2007, leading to the apprehension of a theft suspect at Hall of Residence 10.

Though you may be a final year resident, i certainly look forward to your efforts in propagating this spirit within the hall in your remaining stay in Hall of Residence 10.

This letter serves as an acknowledgement of your contribution and appreciation of your good efforts.

Thank you."

Well what happened on that day was that Jeanie spotted a suspicious character loitering around our block and we called the campus security. When the securty guard came, the suspect was gone and i decided to go out and look for him. It so happen that i spotted him and followed him all the way to Hall 9, then 'capture' him with the help of a Hall 9 resident.

Well, the letter Jeanie received told her that she would be guaranteed a stay in hall 10 next year. But for me, i merely received a "Thank you and pls propagate your public-spiritedness around". Should have caught the guy a year earlier. Or maybe they should consider giving me a 50% discount on this sem's hostel fees. So much for being the 'Hero'.

Well actually i dun recommend others to follow what i did, esp the gals, cuz the situation could turn nasty had the suspect took out a knife or some weapon and attacked me.. but then again, 叔叔是有练过的.. so you kids better not follow what i did..

lost weight

2007-01-20T04:38:00.000-08:00

many people commented that i seem to have lost weight recently..
i'm quite certain of that cuz recently i've not been eating well and sleeping enough..
skipped 2 days of lunch this week cuz there was no one to eat with me and i dun feel like going out to tabao.. bet i'm weighing less than 60kg now.. yesterday was the best.. it was a skiplectureskipbreakfastskiplunchnobodyjiodinnerwholedaydonothingbutfyp thursday as my msn nick suggest.. hall life is becoming so torturing that now i can finally understand why some people dun wanna stay in hall anymore..

not as happy as i seem..

IHG bball

2007-01-16T11:53:00.000-08:00

Had our IHG semis against hall 2..
they were off to a quick start, 0-3, 0-6, 0-9… 0-18..
first quarter ended at 3-21 with us trailing by 18..
we tried to fight back in the 2nd quarter and pulled the score to 15-30..
with yongcai on the court we made a miraculous comeback and ended 3rd quarter 34-43..
while we were closing the gap in the final quarter, my bro got ‘fouled out’..
damn the table officials who did the records..
we managed to tie the game at 52-52 with 3mins remaining..
but lost the game 52-59..

our team’s supposed to be the strongest this year with the admission of Weiqiang, Tse Xiong and Junping.. but Junping sprained his ankle in the group stage.. and our teamwork wasn’t really there..

anyway the match was my ‘season best’, scoring 17 pts.. but that together with a few rebounds were basically all my contribution to the team.. my defense still sucks and my fitness was not there.. leg cramp in the final minutes.. haizz.. otherwise I could still shoot 3-pointers and there might have been a glimpse of hope..

this is the end of my 2-year IHG bball career..

christmas eve

2007-01-01T11:59:00.000-08:00

christmas eve was spent at Cechao's house bbqing..
yongcai jeanie terry cechao cheekit bernard and me.. total 7 of us.. amelia made a guest appearance and stayed for only 10 mins..
after the bbq we played 'heart attack' bluff and monopoly..
first time i play monopoly didn't managed to buy a single piece of land untill there are only 2 lands left.. surprisingly i managed to hold on to be one of the last 3 players.. anyway there was no clear winner as we decided to end the game at 7am!

spot the similarities:

i was the satay man for the evening..

the next Jay Chou?

the final three:

IHG bball

2006-12-30T14:04:00.000-08:00

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=23B4B5CA4C76BD8E

some clips.. you can see Terence grabbing rebounds and blocking shots like nobody's business, Hai Tao's elbowing everyone blocking his way, Weiqiang's 'act seh' dribbling and me slacking during defence and missing shots during offense..

updates..

2006-12-30T13:51:00.000-08:00

updates on the IHG.. we played hall 12 and we won 66-24.. first time we actually thrashed an opponent.. but i did not think we played well, but rather the opponent was not very strong.. went on to meet hall 9 in the quarters.. we missed most of our shots for our offense, but we made it up by our strong defence..

the scoreline was quite close throughout the whole game and there was a point during the 3rd quarter that hall 9 led by 7-8 points.. howvever we came back with a couple of crucial shots made and went to take the lead a few minutes before the final whistle.. we led by 3 points with a few seconds remaining and the referee whistled a foul against us.. the opponent was awarded 3 free throws as it was a 3-point attempt.. he got the first 2 balls in and he committed the 5 seconds violation for the final throw..

i was at the bench then but they told me that that guy told one of his team-mates to block out and grab the rebound.. then went on to tell another guy.. then he slowly bounced the ball a few times and there goes the 5 seconds.. we won by 1 point in the end..

btw i injured my back during the last few minutes.. it was the same type of fall as i had about 8 years ago during the JC inter-faculty game.. i jumped vertically and landed horizontally.. juz that this time i did not use my hands for support and did not sprain my wrist.. hope i'll be fine before the match against hall 2 in the semis..

FYP still sucks and i'm progressing at too slow a pace.. still damn stressed over it and i realized that i'm not enjoying my holidays..

Results out yesterday and it was kinda expected.. Didn't really study much for it due to some reasons.. and yes, i still dun have my first 'A' in uni..

'new' laptop

2006-12-20T23:42:00.000-08:00

My laptop hard-disk crashed last Monday.. had our first IHG bball match on Tuesday and we won by abt 10 points.. I only played the first half but was satisfied by my own performance.. made abt three 3-pointers 2 free throws and 1-2 under-the-baskets..

Struggled to fix my com for the rest of the week, with no success.. had a mini 4B class outing at Pasir Ris Park on Saturday, and finally went to Sim Lim to buy a new hard-disk on Sunday..

Had our 2nd match on Monday and we lost to hall 3 by 6 points, when everyone else (except those from hall 3 probably) expected us to win.. maybe its becuz of the absence of our 2 centers (Kaiyuan and Terence), maybe it’s the lack of supporters (compared to our first match) or maybe we juz dun have the luck? We played terrible defense I would say.. other than that, the fact that i missed abt 4-5 three-pointers might be another minor reason.. but the fact remains that we lost the match.. and NO! we did not deliberately lost the match.. the situation is the same as last year’s match against hall 9.. we lost and we didn’t lost deliberately.. I juz thought its damn ridiculous that people say we lost the match on purpose..

Anyway, I didn’t feel much after the lost, unlike in the past.. maybe I’ve lost the passion.. or maybe I dun expect much from our team? Anyway, our next match is on this Saturday against hall 12 and it’s a must-win..

I’m currently STRESSED UP over my fyp and I think I might have to stay in hall for another year.. but I’m learning to take everything in stride and handle things as they come..

Btw, thanks to terry for helping me to try fix my com and jasmine for lending me hers..

i juz slpt for 16 hours..

had ihg bball training on tuesday morning.. first training after exams.. training was not that tough but considering the fact that i have not actually excerised for 1 month plus, it was rather exhausting.. had to rush to Sengkang Depot to settle some fyp stuff after that.. contacted Mr Paramjit Singh and he was a great help.. so was Mdm Ho.. my fyp has not been going smoothly and i was glad that i met them and had their assistance.. had dinner at JP after that and my legs were damn tired after the whole day..

friday was juz as tiring.. went to bed at 11+pm on thur nite but only got to slp ard 2am.. woke up at 3+am to do my fyp interim report.. went home at 6.15am, then went with out with parents to make offerings to my grandfather.. went back school again after that to finish up and hand in my report.. made my way to Marina Bay for our block outing after that..

reached home at 12+am and i slpt at ard 3am.. amazing thing is i slpt till 7pm today! guessed i must have been tired out.. physically and mentally? must have been stressed over my fyp..

though i dun really understand myself, i know i have many flaws and 1 of my major flaws is that i tend to get too affected by what other people say, even though i know that they dun really mean it.. nowadays people dun mean what they say and i wonder why.. i've always been a serious person, be it work or play, but somehow i know that the image i've portrayed isn't so..

i realized that sometimes i'll feel stressed when i'm in hall or with the people from my hall.. actually i'm kinda affected by the scandal between me and Jasmine.. whenever i'm with the extension gals, they will talk about me and her.. when i'm with the seniors they will also mention it.. as if not enough even other blk people (my friends from another blk) also asked me about whether the rumour is true..

i dunno how the rumour spread so far and i dunno why i'm so affected, but the problem is with me i guessed.. cuz i've always been unable to accept critisms.. anyway, i'll try to change and not to take things too seriously.. changing myself too suit this world i'm living in..

btw someone offered me a rather absurd deal juz now and i'm still deciding whether i shld accept it..

Marina Square

2006-12-02T02:38:00.000-08:00

Jeanie had her last paper today and all of us decided to go Marina Square.. we went there and we didn't do anything except having our lunch at Swensens.. Due to unforeseen circumstances Yongcai was unable to turn up and there were only Terry, Cechao, Secksen, Cheekit, Jeannie, Amelia and me!

After lunch we juz walked around aimlessly cuz there was no nice shows to watch.. but then i still enjoyed their company..

our "curry earthquake"..

group pic without me..

group pic without Secksen.. dun ask me why secksen and i took turns to disappear..

look how interesting our outing was..

exams over!

2006-11-30T04:18:00.000-08:00

went to canteen A to study on Monday.. can A has always been my favourite studying place.. mainly because its rather spacious.. i like to study in an open area.. moreover, Yuli, Ziquan, Jaime and Daryl were there.. and Yaozhong and Nikole joined us for dinner! really enjoyed studying with these guys.. due to their help, i was more prepared for Fluids paper than i thought i would..

Tuesday Fluids paper in the morning.. the paper was rather easy, but i didn't do quite a few questions because i did not memorize the formulas.. hope i can still pass the paper.. anyway its over.. whether i pass or fail the result is fixed.. went back hall to pack and went home.. after that went Vivocity to look for my sis and parents.. walked around and we had dinner at "Dian Xiao Er".. was very happy cuz i dun get to go out with them often.. and Fluids paper is finally over.. had CHILLI CRAB for supper that night..

Wednesday met Geoksim Lidan Karen and Jasmine at Vivocity again.. watched 9:56.. the show was rather scary.. quite a nice show.. official website at http://www.apt2006.co.kr/ walked around and took some pictures..

went hme watch tv and surf net till 7+am and slept till 6pm today.. life is all about eating sleeping and tv.. had bak chor mee for supper at 3am.. haizz.. life can't go on like this.. i needa start working on my fyp soon..

no title

2006-11-27T01:52:00.000-08:00

Have you ever walk towards your exam venue, only to realize that there is no one waiting outside, only bags! well, i have.. It was my only afternoon paper and i was late for it.. and i was late not because i overslpt, mind you.. i was late cuz i kept thinking it starts at 1.30pm and not 1pm.. after my morning paper that day i went to have my lunch at canteen A and went to the library for a short nap after that.. i woke up at 1.10pm and walked slowly to the exam hall..

dunno what went into me having the thinking that the paper starts at 1.30pm.. anyway i was lucky the paper is "Are You OK? Mental Health in Singapore".. hahaa.. and its open book.. so i juz walked slowly inside the exam hall towards my seat, passing by half the students inside and the invigilator's table.. managed to finish the paper about 10 mins before time.. so cannot leave early..

5 papers have passed, only paper left now is MP4005 Fluid Dynamics and this is a killer man.. at least to me.. and I think I flung the quiz as well.. best thing is.. I haven been studying for the past 2 days.. been sleeping my life away.. even when I go canteen 11 to study at night, I spend most of my time chatting..

I haven been exercising for a month already, except once I went for a run along 199 route.. only to have leg cramp after the canteen A bus-stop.. 1 month without basketball already.. I wonder how I survived.. looking towards after exams when I can play basketball anytime I like, provided there is no rain..

Anyway I dun think I will be that happy after exams.. cuz of FYP! I dread my fyp..

dreams..

2006-10-29T04:10:00.000-08:00

i juz woke up from a dream.. i dunno if its considered a nightmare.. i dreamt that i was doing my internship in a mental hospital. somehow it ended up i was accused of theft and i was bullied by everyone, including Bernard.. once when i was shitting in the loo, someone juz opened the door and made fun of me.. i got real mad and i fought back, punching the guy in the face.. this was the first time in my life i really fight with someone..

after that i had to walk past a crowd and everyone was looking at me.. tears were dripping.. T came along and i juz hugged her and cry.. den we reached somewhere where there's a mat on the ground and i juz collapsed and cry.. S came and sit beside me while T went to buy tissue for me.. i woke up at this point of time and there was slight tears in my eyes..

i have such weird dreams at times and i think its so fascinating.. cuz dreams are supposed to tell us wat we're thinking of subconciously.. this dream is weird cuz i dun normally fight with people.. and i wun ever cry in front of people.. esp gals.. and e one i like.. and why did T appear in the picture..

the only possible thing is that i'm actually too stressed these days.. until the extent i feel like crying.. but dun worry folks, my depression's more or less gone.. maybe juz studying stress..

past week

2006-10-23T03:42:00.000-07:00

well, everythings pretty fine this week, though i think i flunk my fluids quiz.. damn.. went Bishan mrt depot to take some pics for my FYP on wednesday afternoon.. had lunch at Junction 8 alone, but its so much better than having sch food or even JP food..

on thursday, was rushing some fyp stuff in LWN library when i discover that there's this damn disgusting guy sitting beside me who's been viewing some gay profiles for the whole 1 hr i was there.. if not for the fact there are no other vacant coms available, i would have moved somewhere else.. this gay kept looking at the profiles of guys and nude pictures of them..WTF.. its bad enough he's gay, and he still has the cheek to view the pictures so openly where everyone who walked past can see.. damn disgusting.. besides viewing the pics, he's been cutting them and editing them with either paint or dunno wat and saving them down.. doing this for 1 whole hr at least (cuz i left after 1 hr).. WTF!!! below are some pics of the guy and wats he's been viewing.. wonder if anyone of you knows him... -_-

anyway, enough of that er xin guy.. friday night was fun as the few of us went Boon Lay market for dinner.. Geok Sim was so happy that she was smiling all the time while having her food.. and i realized that she and that pig have really quite a big appetite.. sometime after dinner we played mahjong! me Alfred tong xue and that pig.. didn't play money cuz that pig dun really know how to play.. but it was fun as its been quite a long time since i last played mahjong..

ordered McDonald's breakfast delivery after that and we watched "The Maid" while eating.. hall life is fun.. hahaa.. but i can only afford to enjoy cuz its a friday night and i really needa destress abit..

didn't really study this weekend and i think its time for me to mug real hard.. bye guys..

2006-10-16T03:03:00.000-07:00

its been about 1 week since i last wrote something.. well, nothing much happened.. tuesday was the mid-autmn festival celebration at the comms hall, wednesday had the first ihg bball training for this year and thursday was our block bbq..

went JP to buy some stuff for X-Plat on Friday night.. and we (as in me, Geok Sim n Karen) stayed till 3 plus to paint our team t-shirt.. actually Geok Sim was the one doing most, if not all of the painting.. the other 2 members Alfred n Leon, had their own stuff to do.. actually i'm supposed to study too, but i really need a break..

X-Plat yesterday was fun.. our team was team A and we were the first team to play.. We won our first game, but lost the second.. and we got knocked out.. nonetheless i think my team is actually v good and i love my team..

whole lot of us went to watch "Death Note" after the not-so-nice dunno-wat porridge steamboat at Ang Mo Kio.. the show was quite nice.. the kinda show that i like.. where some genius started commiting crimes and another genius tries to hunt him down.. anyway i like the "L" in the show.. though he's abit weird, aloof, looks like some drug addict or watever, i prefer him to "Kira".. at least he's the good guy.. and i think he's very 'seh'.. shall not comment too much on the show in case some of you still haven watch the show..

exams coming in a month's time and i really should get busy.. i realized that my depression may have worsen and i decided to cut down on coffee cuz too much caffeine can contribute to depression.. then i switched to alcohol.. -_-

not that i really drink.. tuesday night tried to get myself drunk with a can of beer.. erm.. root beer.. wednesday night had 2.5 cans of beer.. tried to get myself drunk but the more i drink the more sober i got.. well, things improved quite abit this week and i shld feel happy.. but somehow i still feel down sometimes..

well i dreamt of someone again last night.. there's a chinese saying that you'll dream at night what you've been thinking of in the day.. so have i been thinking of that someone subconciously all this while? i really dunno..
things are not going on that well but i'll try my best to fight through this period.. though sometimes i really need the extra strength to carry on..

1 thing i learnt is that sometimes when you do not wish to hurt someone, you'll end up hurting him or her even more.. well i did exactly the same thing to someone before.. now i understand how she feels..

well, i'm a stubborn guy and once i've decided on something i will not give up.. no matter how tough it is i will carry on..

i know that you're having a hard time too.. juz wanna say "jiayou jiayou jiayou!"..

issit really that important? i think my answer is "yes"..

2006-10-09T01:36:00.000-07:00

made a very important decision on Monday.. i decided not to go for the "Work and Travel USA".. mainly because they want us to make a decision by Friday and i am not prepared to do so.. 2 quizzes on Thursday, design project and FYP stuff.. i really dun have the time to go through evrything and make a decision so fast..

its already my last year in NTU and i really wanted to go.. but haizz.. no one will understand what i'm thinking.. the fact that i went for the talk shows that i'm really interested ok.. i dun even remember the last time i went for a talk..

anyway, things went on rather smoothly for the week.. as in i got 70% for my 4004 quiz and the hp803 quiz was like damn easy..

went to be basketball official at Bedok CC on Saturday.. extra income thanks to Alan and Victor.. need the money to pay back Sylvia.. still owes her $100+ -_-"
all thanks to Yang that i had to be the referee.. second time be referee.. 1st time was during ibg.. but i was the 2nd referee then.. din really blow the whistle much.. and this time i was the only referee.. stressed..

since i cannot concentrate and study.. i decided to go sleep.. goodnight everyone..

Down..

2006-09-30T01:02:00.000-07:00

And I'm just down　you left me with a note without a sound

I figured I must have been such a child

You'll never know how much I've been around

How my heart just frowns if you're down

I'll be your teddy bear I'll be your clown

I'll take you round and round and if you don't mind I could be your standing ground

Even if that means I'd drown..

feeling kinda down these days.. dun ask me why.. hope everything will be fine soon.. i wanna concentate on my studies!!

A cup of water..

2006-09-27T22:10:00.000-07:00

A group of working adults got together to visit their University lecturer. The Lecturer was happy to see them. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. The lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment of cups - some porcelain, some inplastic, some in glass, some plain looking and some looked rather expensive and exquisite.

The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks for themselves. When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke: If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal that you only want the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

What all you wanted was water, not the cup, but we unconsciously went for the better cups. Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold/maintain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy/taste the water in it. Ability may take you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

new week new start..

2006-09-25T03:21:00.000-07:00

the trust game..

2006-09-23T10:36:00.000-07:00

someone has been avoiding and ignoring me this 2 weeks.. and not only that, that someone lied to me.. to think that that someone is someone i trust..

well.. i HATE to be ignored and lied to.. i have my feelings too.. thanks for making me feel so depressed for the past week..

this seems fun especially when you are damn bored..

2006-09-20T09:01:00.000-07:00

I have a strong hunch that i'm not gonna do well for this semester.. Been trying hard to concentrate on my studies this few days, but i simply can't..

Losing sleep and having no appetite are juz 2 of the sypmtons of Depression.. I've been suffering from Depression since dunno when.. thoughts of commiting suicide came to my mind not long ago.. but i immediately dismissed the thought as i do not want my family and friends to be sad.. but isn't it sad to live for others and not for yourself..

No one seems to believe me when i tell them that i'm suffering from Depression.. maybe its because i put in effort to appear cheerful in front of them.. Recently i am damn depressed over something and for certain reasons i cannot write it down here..

I think i need some counselling.. hahaa.. anyway dun worry guys, at least i know i'm suffering from Depression.. i wun do anything stupid.. yet..

no matter what, i will not give up..

this week

2006-09-10T23:53:00.000-07:00

nothing much happened this week.. i'm still damn stressed with my fyp, studies and some other things.. played ibg bball finals on wed and we lost to blk 52.. didn't play well even though someone was watching.. erm.. well she nvr cheer for me anyway..

wasn't feeling well that night after the match.. got an eye infection the next day.. eyes abit red and swollen till today..

supposed to have bball training today at 8.15am today.. i made effort to wake up early and reach at 8.10am.. to me, the timing 8.15am means for everyone to be ready and start training at 8.15am.. apparantly it has a different meaning to the others..

being late for 15 mins is still excusable, but at 8.30am, only Alan came.. quite some time later, the rest came in one by one.. discipline a huge problem in our team, and no one seems to give a damn.. well, since all of them are not interested in the training, i decided not to go for anymore trainings unless we managed to get a formal coach for our team..

sounds like i'm having a little attitude problem here, but i dun see the point of wasting my time to go for anymore 'trainings' which i think do not serve any purpose cuz i doubt we will ever have a near-full attendence and everyone will give their best during trainings.. at most i'll juz quit the team and only play leisurely with them on Sundays?

even if your arms grow big, you'll still look the same to me..

time passes fast..

2006-08-29T15:12:00.000-07:00

its been about 2 weeks since i last blogged.. now is already the 4th week of school and i'm feeling damn stressed.. my FYP and mp4011 design project is taking up quite alot of my time.. hence my (N)ine Club is currently 休息ing.. anyway so far i only got 5 time-tables.. maybe it'll be better if someone take over me as president..

BAS Open 2006 has ended.. 1st match on my birthday and i only scored 4 points, missed most of my shots and sprained my ankle.. but i had a surprised when Choon Lim appeared with a cake while we were at the coffee-shop.. it was certainly unexpected..

we got thrashed during the 2nd match and i didn't even get to play, cuz of my sprained ankle.. 3rd match was as not exciting as the other matches.. we played normal and none of us was on form and we had many turnovers.. lost the match as expected.. only good thing was that i had a female supporter for the match (though she keep telling me she supported no.13 from the opponent team).

feeling kinda troubled now.. but i dun really wanna write it down here.. hahaa.. byez..

today is saturday..

2006-08-12T23:55:00.000-07:00

slacking at home right now.. enjoying the music and air-con in my room.. the relaxed feeling.. guess i wun be able to enjoy this feeling anymore in the coming weeks.. school's started and in fact i should be studying now instead of slacking.. anyway, for the BAS Open, our first match is coming soon.. 18th August.. coming Friday.. second match, coming Sunday..

Jeanie commented that i've been hanging out a lot with the freshies lately.. neglecting them (as in she and yongcai they all).. thats kinda true.. but then secksen's always not in hall and i dun really like to be a light-bulb.. Cechao, on the other hand, has been very hardworking lately.. always working on his Dota or wateva.. only Terry is the same old good Terry.. hahaa..

the new batch of freshies were rather 'siao on'.. and our blk (blk 51) is now much more united and fun than before.. more than 20 of us went to have our dinner at JP last night.. we then watched "Click" after that.. its quite a nice show.. much better than i had expected.. i was actually moved to tears at a particular scene.. but no one saw it.. i was seating at one corner.. i wun cry in front of others.. cuz i'm a guy.. and a guy must act brave in front of others.. esp gals..

after the movie we celebrated Kexin's birthday in the tv lounge.. after a while all the saboing starts and the whole tv lounge was in a mess.. was pretty fun.. juz that we needa do abit of cleaning up after everything.. anyway, hope Kexin enjoys this mini celebration..

this morning while we were waiting for Sylvia to come back from school, i shouted across the block to Kexin and Shirley that i wanted to fast forward to the time when Sylvia comes back.. they then remind me that if i do that, from then on whenever i have to wait for someone or something, my life would go fast forward.. damn.. i realized that if i were to get hold of a Universal Controller, i would most probably end up the same fate as Adams Sandler in the show..

i used to be very patient in the past.. whenever i'm meeting my friends i would plan to reach about 15 minutes earlier than the meeting time as i do not like people to wait for me.. however, as time goes by, i realized that the whole human population is getting more and more selfish.. wasting other people's precious time waiting for them.. gradually i changed to arriving on time and sometimes being late, but seldom for more than 15 minutes..

-The End-

FOC 2006

2006-08-09T19:40:00.000-07:00

haven been updating since FOC started.. with only abt 3 hours of sleep everyday for the whole week.. well, was glad to join this FOC as a senior attached.. but i definitely would not wanna join it again (anyway, no more chance liao)..

got quite fed up with some people during these 5 days.. dunno why some people juz like to 掺一脚 in everything and act as if they know everything.. and that MinRong kinda pissed me off on SP night when he refused a few of us for a second helping.. the way he put it was like the few of us were so 'giam pen'.. anyway, throughout the whole FOC i see him 'buay song'.. dun like the way he handle things.. fucked up..

anyway the main 收获 of this FOC was getting to know the freshies.. some of them quite cute.. some abit attitude problem.. some rather quiet.. all sorts of character.. i even sacrificed myself during the SP saboing and let YongCang do a lapdance around me..

and that MingSong very clever.. specially requested Tricia to be his SP.. i should have think of that and did the same too.. then maybe i'll be attached now.. hahaa..

school started on monday and i already started sleeping during lectures.. have a very strong hunch that i will start to skip lectures soon.. went to school at 8.30am though my lesson starts at 10.30am, hoping to buy and print notes without having to join long queues.. but i was wrong.. there were already more than 10 people waiting outside the library even before 8.30am.. and within 15 minutes all the computers were occupied.. what has the world come to.. haizz..

friday night..

2006-07-22T00:15:00.000-07:00

met up with yaozhong, yuli, darryl, jaime and chunyi for dinner today.. venue Fish & Co at The Glass House.. first time i went there was last year when we celebrate Jaime's birthday.. second time's today.. anyway its been ages since we meet up and were sharing with one another about what we've been doing..

anyway, on my way home, i met her (the gal i got to know thru my intersem ge) again.. since that time i walked home with her, i started to walk home from Bedok Interchange rather than taking bus.. cuz she make me realized that i can save quite alot of money that way.. hahaa.. actually 1 minor minor reason i started to walk home more often after that day is that i'm hoping to bump into her again on my way home.. hahaa.. and tonight my wish came through.. hahaa.. they call this 缘分.. (juz joking.. she's attached already..)

shall sleep early tonight cuz i'm having basketball training tmr morning.. a couple of my friends and i were foolish enough to take part in BAS Open 2006.. and we're having our trainings every Saturday morning starting tmr.. well, actually i joined this competition not really to win, but for the experience and the fun of it.. at the age of 24, i guess i'm too old to have the passion to really put all my heart into it..

anyway, Alan says our main aim is not in the BAS Open.. its juz paving the way for us to excel in the coming dunno wat competition organized by Changkat CC.. well i certainly hope we'll do better this time, and at least get into the semis..

blood donation..

2006-07-19T01:29:00.000-07:00

Finally went for a blood donation today.. wanted to go donate since end of exams, but couldn’t find anyone to go with me.. wanted to go last week but my partner and terry both called me on that day to tell me they cannot make it.. -_-

Anyway, saw Lee Teng at citylink! He was filming some show with Belinda.. went up to say hi.. didn’t really have time to chat with him cuz he has to carry on with the show.. wonder if there’s still chance to play basketball with him now that he’s graduated..

Went to meet haoz at TM after that.. got the book “the five people you meet in heaven” from her.. the author is Mitch Albom.. same author as the previous book I read “Tuesdays with Morrie”.. hope I’ll finish this book fast and have time to read another book before school starts..

Had been reading this book “Sleeper” by Paul Adam for the past 2 weeks.. borrowed it from the library after I finished “Tuesdays with Morrie”... but somehow maybe the story does not really interest me.. I’m only at page 50 out of the 377 pages.. and the book’s due on 27th July.. very certain I wun be able to finish it in time.. so I decided to throw it away.. I mean stop reading and return it to the library.. same fate as the last book I borrowed from the library “The Babel Effect”..

Been learning Flash MX, Fireworks MX and Dreamweaver on my own and I realized that there’s actually quite a lot of things you can do with these tools.. initially read up abit on Dreamweaver cuz of my part-time job.. after that find it quite interesting, and since I had nothing better to do at home.. decided to go learn more..

Been doing a lot of things this holidays.. things that I never thought I would enjoy doing.. things I’ve always wanted to do but din have the time.. pieced a 1000 pieces jigsaw puzzle.. read some books.. went sentosa play beach volleyball.. jogging and actually enjoying it.. used to hate running or jogging but now kinda beginning to learn to enjoy it.. treat it as a form of relieving stress and exercise..

One regret is that I have not learnt how to cook! Wanted to learn how to cook since last holidays.. cook anything.. maybe spaghetti cuz they all (dun ask me who is ‘they all’.. everyone always say ‘they all’ but no one knows who is ‘they all’) says it is quite easy..

the wonderful dream on 140706..

2006-07-14T18:46:00.000-07:00

haven been updating for a while.. well, met up with some of the 18DA operators last saturday.. me jihong kimme chenzeu and laowai.. we went to some place near Queenstown mrt for lunch.. had hor fun and 锅贴.. which tastes much better than i expected.. and e same stall also sells refillable 菊花茶 for 10 cents..

after that we proceeded to Queensway shopping complex.. at the end of the day, everyone bought something.. quite unexpected.. i bought a shirt from 'UCLA' and i think chen zeu and lao wai bought their shirts from the same shop too.. kimme san bought a pair of track pants think.. also, chen zeu bought 2 pairs of shoes that day!

Sunday morning was the same routine, basketball at Changkat CC.. after that, due to jianhao, tong xue and weiliang's influence, i bought $10 on France leading at half-time.. since it was e World Cup finals, no harm betting a little money.. my last soccer bet was in fact the last World Cup i think.. and that was when i started soccer betting, being influence by fellow 18DA operators.. I had expected the France to lead first and the full time ending with either a draw or Italy to win.. that was why i chose the bet.. another reason is due to the odds 1:4.2..

watched the match at night in my room.. was exhilerated when Zidane scored the penalty within the first 10 minutes.. was working on my Slam Dunk jigsaw puzzle while watching the match.. God knows the dunno who from Italy equalized with a header soon.. and thats the end of my $10.. watched till full time and the score remains 1:1.. went to bed when the extra time starts.. anyway, i completed my jigsaw puzzle before i went to sleep..

went back hall on monday to shift my things to my new room.. actually juz moving 3 rooms away from my previous room.. my new room is 51-4-995.. went SRC play bball with Terence, 教授 they all and some hall 3 guys.. shifted some things over that night, and by tuesday afternoon i was able to finish shifting everything.. went back home for dinner.. Tuesday is the only day my whole family gets to eat dinner together.. cuz its my parents' only off day in the week..

Wednesday went to East Spring Secondary School to be teaching assistant for Dreamweaver.. Weiyi the trainer was still on his way when i reached.. was greeted by one of the teachers there, whom to my surprise was someone i 'knew'.. actually she was from the same secondary school as me, Ngee Ann, but back then we did not know each other (my whole sec sch life was spent on playing bball, i did not bother to make many friends then).. but somehow she added me (or i added her) in Friendster some time last year..

i am actually quite good at remembering faces (except ah nehs who all look the same to me..) and thus i was quite sure shes the 'Shuxian' i know in Friendster.. did not expected her to recognize me also.. cuz she said i look familiar.. anyway, learnt from her that quite a couple of students from our batch was into teaching..

after the lesson i went the food-court at Tampines Mart for my 'lunchner'.. the place still seem quite familiar to me.. it was one of my favourite hang0uts during my secondary school life.. some kinda 归属感.. went to Tampines Mall after that, wanted to get a frame for my finished puzzle.. but the shop at TM do not have the color i wanted.. didn't buy in the end...

thursday was a boring day at home, but i did something that i am proud of.. i went for a jog in the evening.. not sure why i wanted to run.. maybe i feel that i have been slacking too much.. maybe to train for the BAS Open 2006.. or maybe juz to exercise to make myself feel better, rather than coping at home all day.. actually wanted to play bball but its hard to jio pple.. and my ball is in hall..

anyway, none of the above mentioned is as important as what i did this morning.. I DREAMT OF CHARLENE CHOI.. the super cute gal from Twins.. in the dream i got to know her cuz she was staying over in my house, for wateva reasons i really had no idea.. of cuz Gillian was in my house as well.. i supposed they came to Singapore for some performance and for wateva reasons they had to stay at my house..

somehow for most part of my dream, Gillian was somewhere else in the house, leaving me and ah-sa in a room alone.. and i got to chat with her for quite sometime.. all we did was some chatting cuz in the dream she was still a celebrity while i was juz a fan of hers.. or maybe a friend at most..

anyway it was the best dream that i had in my entire life! better than the one i had with Stephen Chow.. and even better than the one with vampires running around.. how i wish that the dream is true.. one day i can be her friend and not juz fan.. hahaa.. 24 year old still having a crush on an idol..

anyway.. gotta end here.. almost time to play bball and wilsen warned us not to be late.. byebye..

slam dunk..

2006-07-06T15:12:00.000-07:00

getting pretty bored staying at home these few days.. decided to work on this jigsaw puzzle that i bought a couple of years ago.. dun understand why they replaced my 三井 with 仙道.. anyway i'm starting on it today.. and god knows when i will be able to finish it..

the largest puzzled i ever completed was one bought by my dad when i was in secondary school.. it was a 2000 pieces puzzle i think.. and its now hanging in our living room.. if i'm not wrong i think i took about 2 years to complete it..

spent all my time playing basketball then.. evryday was school till noon.. den basketball till evening.. it was a memorable routine.. saturdays and sundays were basketball time from 1pm to 10pm.. and sometimes weeks would pass without me touching the puzzle.. that explains why i took so long to complete it..

Jolin's "Mr Q" music video..

2006-07-06T12:24:00.000-07:00

the video's nice cuz i like edison chen.. but the 2 of them dun seem to have much chemistry.. hahaa..

4B chalet..

2006-07-03T16:01:00.000-07:00

Finally back from the long-awaited annual 4B chalet.. the usual routine, we met at white sands for lunch b4 proceeding to the ntuc to buy our stuff.. this year was a bit different, we had our chalet at aloha loyang instead.. and it was much more fun cuz its more spacious, and we had more facilities, so we can cook our own food..

This time round we didn’t play the 杀，反杀, replaced it with black magic, bangbangbang 谁死? and Mr Fuzzy Wazzy likes… played Indian poker and the loser was to drink a certain amount of water that we each took turns to add.. 1st game and I got an Ace.. drank 1 whole cup.. 2nd game I lost again.. 2 cups but luckily 3 spade (Miss Yeo’s new name) help me with one..

Later on during the game, Yang changed his card from one Ace of club to another Ace of club.. that was when we think it’s a bit 邪门.. a few games later he changed his cared from a club 3 to another club 3.. we stopped the game awhile later cuz it was getting a bit weird.. actually its juz that we were thinking too much.. nothing much happened later..

Dinner was special in the sense that this was the first time we had a proper dinner, with rice and 2 dishes (curry and chicken), at a chalet.. credits to our chief chef Hong Yong..

The next day we went to the beach, took some pics.. and they buried me in the sand.. my 1st time being buried.. was covered all the way to my face and the sun was like burning my face.. one was them was drawing something on my chest and it was damn ticklish.. will get to see what they drew when I get the pics..

Following that we went to the swimming pool, and there was 4 small jacuzzi pools there.. the six of us went down into 1 of the pools and spent quite some time inside..

Went back to the chalet and Siqi and Marvin went to cook fired rice for our lunch while the rest of us were playing Uno in the living room.. time passed rather fast and it was soon evening time.. juz before we went back, me Hong Yong, Shuhui and alan played mahjong for a while, and I was the big loser.. we then parted and Hong Yong, Shuhui and I went 85 market for dinner before proceeding home..

Some of the pics i took:

during supper..

our class..

superman Marvin..

back to our chalet..

today is a happy day...

2006-07-01T02:37:00.000-07:00

Went back to the once so familiar North-Point today, to have dinner, followed by watching “The Omen” with Ailing.. come to think of it, I realized that I did not watched a single show there before.. though I’ve been there countless times during my army days..

The show was average.. I would give it abt 6.5 to 7 out of 10.. the ending was not quite what I expected.. sort of like its planning to have a sequel, and the ending scene with Damien turning around to look at the screen was not really that frightening.. his stare was not ‘power’ enough..

went home after the show.. was kinda looking forward to “The Park” showing on Channel U at 11.30pm.. “The Park” (咒乐园) was slightly better than “The Omen” in my opinion.. at least the female lead is someone whom I liked since a few years back.. Bobo Chan (陳文媛), a Hong Kong actress and singer, and shes so cute!

And tonight’s World Cup quarterfinals, Germany vs Argentina, Ailing’s pretty good at predicting the score: full-time draw and Germany to win on penalty.. well, it was not that hard actually to tell that Germany will win, the reason obviously being that they are the host and the host country, due to some reasons, always perform exceptionally well..

sometimes i wonder...

2006-06-30T02:30:00.000-07:00

sometimes i wonder why some people never reply my smses.. its ok if they dun reply when i sent them a joke or 'gd morning' sms, but why din they reply when i asked them a question, such as to confirm the attendance for a outing..

i thought to myself.. maybe they assumed that if they did not reply, i would automatically know that it means that they wun be attending.. but what abt those who replied to ask who else is going and other details of the outing.. and when i replied them thats the end.. they dun bother to reply me whether they will be going..

some people even more weird.. i smsed them first.. they din reply.. another person smsed them and they replied them.. then that person did not tell me abt the reply.. so how on earth am i to know the reply..

i figured out that another reason why people did not reply me may be that they are busy working and its not appropriate for them to use the hp during office hours.. well.. dun tell me they work 24/7.. they could have replied me after work..

some people may be sleeping while i smsed them and they might have deleted the sms or forgotten abt it when they woke up (well, that happens to me sometimes) but this is not a 1-2 time thing.. some people ALWAYS never reply my smses..

it sometimes make me wonder if i got the correct number.. shld i juz call their hp and asked them if they are still using this number.. stupid rite..

my PE during intersem 1 (choice theory) teaches me that my sms serves only as a means of passing them the information that i am organizing a outing.. and they have every right not to reply my sms.. i keep telling myself that so that i would not be so affected.. after much thinking, however, my conclusion is:

WHAT THE FUCK! why do i smsed these people in the first place? its obviously to get their replies.. anyway.. if u (whoever lah) finds that i am starting to leave u out of my sms list.. you should know why..

IPPT Silver!

2006-06-29T22:59:00.000-07:00

took my ippt at Bedok Camp today.. my 3rd time taking there.. was kinda nervous at first cuz it was already 5pm by the time i reached and they're abt to start the test.. my number for the day: 337..

first station no problem as usual.. did 40 sit-ups in abt 45 seconds and i went off before the 1 minute was up.. kinda 'hao lian' but that was what the PTI told us.. we can juz go when we're done, dun have to wait for 1 minute..

next is standing broad jump.. to my surprise i jumped 243cm on my first attemp and the PTI juz said gd and pass me my tag.. (actually at first i didn't know 243cm is 4 or 5 points, but since the PTI returned me my tag, it must be 5 points then).. chin-up next.. i struggled abit.. but managed to do 10 as usual..

shuttle-run was not a problem either.. 9.3 seconds.. same as last year i think.. after a short rest, it was time to run 2.4km (i was still panting abit after the shuttle-run and wasn't mentally prepared for the 2.4km) i went to stand beside Kein even though my no. was 337 and his was 301.. first time i stand in front to start the 2.4km..

1st run took me abt 1min43secs.. struggled on for the next 3 runs.. finished the 4th run in 7mins43secs.. got worried because i have less than 4 minutes left to complete the next 2 rounds.. finished the 5th round in 9mins55secs.. thought i was gonna miss my silver.. widened my strides and gave all i could for the 1st 200m of the last run.. got tired and slowed down.. DASHED last 100m and my final timing was 11min38secs.. 2 more seconds and i would have earned $100 less..

so glad i managed to scape through a silver when i only ran thrice to prepare for this ippt.. however feel that its getting more and more difficult to run under 11min39secs.. seriously hope i can still manage a silver next year.. after that i'll belong to Cat Y.. silver timing for 2.4km will be extended to 12mins (thats wat Kein told me)..

The Da Vinci Code..

2006-06-27T22:11:00.000-07:00

finally, i got to watch the Da Vinci Code.. watched it with Yang at TM.. should be the last show of the last day i think.. first time i watch a show at such last minute.. originally planned to watch it with my army pals.. but due to this and that, we did not watch in the end..

In hall today!

2006-06-26T17:12:00.000-07:00

And so the Sentosa trip yesterday was cancelled due to the unexpected rain. In the end, we went to watch “Scary Movie 4” at PS.. and this time the turnout was even more pathetic.. me, Haolingz, Terry and Nicholas (pikachu)..

Anyway the show was ok.. I like the opening scene.. combining SAW II and Shaq’s lousy free-throw shooting into a scene.. and the JU-ON kid was so cute.. hahaa..

Following that we went for dinner at Pasta Mania at Cineleisure.. and Haolingz bought a pair of sneakers.. went home after that and I borrowed “Tuesdays With Morrie” from Haolingz.. Proud to say, I’m already at page 62 now.. 130 more pages to go..

Came back hall today to register subject.. that’s not the main purpose actually, cuz I could have juz register at home.. main purpose is to come back wash clothes.. -_-
Cuz I left my laundry hanging outside for 1 week already.. needa wash it again..

Didn’t get the timetable I wanted.. no more vacancy for the design class I wanted.. have to choose the Thursday morning class instead of the Tuesday afternoon one.. haizz..
my timetable next sem.. if i can get the PE i wanted.. orginally wanted the design class to be on Tuesday afternoon so that i would not have any 8.30am class.. but the stupid system made it till theres no more vacancy for that class by the time its my turn to register.. damn.. now my Tuesdays only have 1 lesson..

Tagboard Added..

2006-06-25T03:38:00.000-07:00

though i know nuts about HTML (i dun even know what it stands for) i managed to add a tagboard.. i'm so proud of myself..

whoever's reading my blog feel free to write some nonsense or wateva.. den at least i'll know who's reading my blog.. hahaa.. thanx..

maths game?

2006-06-22T03:23:00.000-07:00

juz found this game from Lee Teng's blog..
tried for half an hour and i still can't solve it.. dunno whether i should be happy.. cuz supposedly the smarter you are, the longer you will take to solve it..
very tired now.. will try again tmr...

played basketball on sunday as usual, den Jiawei Weiliang and Alan came over my house for mahjong..

been working in Punggol Primary for the past 3 days 8am to 5pm.. no work today.. feels so bored at hme.. did nothing constructive! wanted to go for a run but dismissed the idea after dinner cuz i was feeling so sleepy.. took nap instead.. luckily haoz msged me.. jogged with her in the end.. suddenly realized that my ippt is only nxt week.. i have exactly 7 days left to train.. time to start intensive training...

2006-06-12T19:46:00.000-07:00

my new crush...

2006-06-11T16:07:00.001-07:00

finally back from the trip to Malaysia.. was supposed to be a 1 day 1 night trip but we decided to extend it by another night..

followed siqi n marvin around the whole day while they had their photos taken.. only at the beach then e rest of us were involved.. me, yang, hy, siqi's bro n 4 cousins n eve.. well, eve's pretty cute but i had a crush on one of siqi's cousin instead.. the smallest one, si wei.. hahaa..

juz joking.. she's cute but she's way too young for me.. juz that while takin e photos the photographer wanted a particular scene, e couple to run in front while e rest of us running behind them.. seeing ah wei(ah wei sounds more 亲切)unable to catch up i held her hand and run with her.. thats enough for Siqi to conclude that i'm interested in her.. hahaa.. cuz she said ah wei dun usually let anyone hold her hand..

after the phototaking all of us had dinner together, including Marvin's family.. the 2 families seat 1 table to discuss abt the marriage thing while the rest of us seat at another table.. dinner was CRAZY i tell u.. they ordered so many dishes that it was like we're going there to try to make space to put the dishes and not to have our dinner.. they ordered about 12 dishes.. 2 纸包鸡 2 汤 2 蛋 2 菜 1 鱼 1 麦片虾 1 鹿肉 1 伊面 and what else i forgot liao.. the most 夸张 meal i ever had...

then Siqi go ask ah wei whether i am handsome, ah wei nodded her head.. asked abt yang she shaked her head.. den hy she nodded her head again.. Siqi asked the the other small cousin (i forgot her name) the same questions and her answers were completely opposite.. seems like the 2 sisters have very different taste..

anyway ah wei already has a bf according to the other 2 cousins.. looks like i dun stand a chance.. hahaa..

09/06/06 2am...

2006-06-09T02:08:00.000-07:00

went back hall today.. 3 hrs journey back hall juz to bring back my shoes n belt.. to my surprise, saw Jaime at JP, or rather she saw me while i was on my way to the Gents.. ended up we chatted for about 20mins outside the Ladies.. then we met Alex n Daryll at LGS.. such a coincidence! 4 of us then chatted while Jamie n i had our dinner.. chatted for quite some time.. so gd to meet the 3 of them.. not a wasted trip at all..

met Caiyun on my way home.. din really talked much with her cuz it was already 8plus and i can see that she's real tired from work.. not as active as she used to be..

haven been blogging for quite a while.. GE lessons finally over.. Choice Theory, its a gd GE, too bad its not gonna be offered anyone.. anyway got to make some friends thru this GE, and i discovered that 1 of them actually stays in hall 10 and lives in Bedok North juz 5 blks away from me! and i have nvr seen her b4 b4 taking this GE.. BUT she's attached.. =( According to my 'bro' Junjie, he says attached even better, den i only have to fight 1 guy instead of many.. hahaa.. sounds abit logical..

got a part-time job through Malone, helping him as a teaching assistant to teach pri n sec sch kids some IT stuff.. went to St Margaret's Pri Sch and Bedok View Sec Sch.. the kids at St Margaret's were more fun to teach.. pri 4 gals.. they dun really regard me as a teacher lor.. one even call me 白衣服的boyboy.. -_-||
its a rather good part-time job cuz i get to hang around with kids (i know i dun look like, but i love kids) and i got to learn new things cuz basically i know nuts abt IT.. can learn as i teach.. but then now no jobs this 2 weeks cuz its e sch holidays..

one more major achievement, i went for a run yesterday to prepare myself for my ippt.. timing 13 mins n 3 secs.. still ok.. did 8 pull-ups n 30 sit-ups after the run.. almost couldn't walk back home.. whole body still aching now.. haiz.. old liao..

been slping early these few nights, at around 2 plus.. and i make it a point to sleep for only 8 hrs everyday.. sleeping too much isn't gd.. or rather i think its a waste of time.. but then again, i dunno what i did with my time either.. maybe i should start to plan some gathering with some people.. maybe..

Jokes for Today..

2006-05-30T23:51:00.000-07:00

Dr. Parker, the biology instructor at a posh suburban girl's junior college, said during class, "Miss Smith, would you please name the organ of the human body, which under the appropriate conditions, expands to six times its normal size, and define the conditions."

Miss Smith gasped, blushed deeply, then said freezingly, Dr. Parker, I do not think that is a proper question to ask me, you should be asking a boy. And I assure you my parents will hear of this." With that she sat down, very red-faced.

Unperturbed, Dr. Parker called on Miss Johnson and asked the same question. Miss Johnson, with composure, replied, "The pupil of the eye, in dim light."

"Correct," said Dr. Parker. "And now, Miss Smith, I have three things to say to you. One, you have not studied your lesson. Two, you have a dirty mind. And three, you will some day be faced with a dreadful disappointment."

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

An autopsy professor was giving an introductory lecture to a class of students. Standing over a corpse, he addressed the class. 'There are two things you need to make a career in medical forensics. First, you must have no fear.' Having said that, he shoved his finger up the corpse's anus and licked it. 'Now you must do the same,' he told the class.

After a couple of minutes of uneasy silence, the class did as instructed.

'Second,' the professor continued, 'you must have an acute sense of observation. For instance, how many of you noticed that I put my middle finger up this man's anus, but licked my index finger?'

ice-skate..

2006-05-17T23:59:00.000-07:00

went ice-skating with bernard terry nicholastanqinghong clarissa and michelle today.. very fun.. hahaa.. too bad for those who couldn't make it.. its my 2nd time ice-skating.. 1st time was like about 5 years ago? with the ExTrEmE gang.. still remember that time though i only fell once (due to stupid Ivan) i didn't really learn much, merely went round and round holding onto the handle bars at the perimeter..

this time round, i actually managed to really skate! though my hands will be wavering in the air for balance once every half a minute, i can at least skate around without holding onto any supports.. good improvement.. hahaa..

shall go there again.. but then there's one problem, its kinda crowded even on a weekday noon.. all those stupid school kids.. hahaa.. maybe shall go again in July? when all those stupid kids go back to school..

Don't eat chicken sandwiches, no matter what.....

2006-05-13T01:41:00.000-07:00

A little boy and a little girl attended the same school and became friends.
Every day they would sit together to eat their lunch. They discovered that
they both brought chicken sandwiches every day!
This went on all through the fourth and fifth grades, until one day he
noticed that her sandwich wasn't a chicken sandwich.
He said, "Hey, how come you're not eating chicken, don't you like it anymore?"
She said "I love it but I have to stop eating it."

"Why?" he asked.
She pointed to her lap and said "Cause I'm starting to grow little feathers down there!"
"Let me see" he said.
"Okay" and she pulled up her skirt.
He looked and said, "That's right. You are! Better not eat any more chicken."
He kept eating his chicken sandwiches until one day he brought peanut butter.
He said to the little girl, "I have to stop eating chicken sandwiches, I'm starting to get feathers down there too!"
She asked if she could look, so he pulled down his pants for

her. She said "Oh, my God, it's too late for you! You've already got the neck and the gizzards!!!

exams finally over...

2006-05-10T04:10:00.000-07:00

hasn't been blogging since exams finished.. dun ask me why.. had 2 papers on my last day.. 2nd may.. and i only slept like 2 hours the night before.. first time i actually burn the midnight oil for a paper.. in the end i buang my last paper for this semester.. haizz.. one song can represent the situation.. "In The End" by Linkin Park.. cuz i tried so hard n got so far.. in the end it doesn't even matter..

unlike the past few semesters, this sem i studied mostly in our hall 10 studying room n also in TR125 wif YZ JJ ZQ n YH.. had a GREAT time studying wif them n i'm really grateful to them for helping me wif my revision.. especially Yong Hong.. thanx a million..

was in a state of DEPRESSION juz 1 day after the exams finished.. guess i put in quite a lot of effort this sem as compared to e past 2 years.. was hoping to clear all my subjects.. all went well until the last paper haizz.. didn't feel like going anywhere n didn't feel like doing anything.. luckily Terry was around for me to practise my soccer skills.. otherwise i'll go mad..

finally feeling better after i watched a show "Jiang Shi Bao Bei" starring Zhang Shang Wei.. it's a vampire show.. kinda crappy but i love vampire shows so i'll make do with that.. besides the vampires wats most important is that the female lead actually looks like Pinky.. she's a ghost in the show but looks kinda like a fairy.. n i was mesmerized.. hahaa..

went hme the next day n i basically spent the next few days sleeping n watching tv.. played basketball on sunday morning as usual n played 2 rounds of mahjong in my house after that.. Jiawei WeiLiang n ZhongYang.. n i lost $15.. ^^"

Monday.. went to meet YZ Jared Yuda Vki n YH at orchard at around 4plus.. we had inner at the foodcourt at Cineleisure b4 watching MI3.. the foodcourt that was once so familiar.. i would never forget those times when we the Extreme gang went there about 2-3 times a week to play Lasermania.. was during my JC days.. the whole group of us were hooked to this 'Lasermania', a game where the whole lot of us would put on sensor vests n carried laser guns n go around shooting each other and destroying the other team's base.. we even took part in a competition but was unfortunately thrashed in the first game cuz we weren't so experienced then..

Regarding the show "MI3" i would have to say its great.. though some of the feats performed is really IMPOSSIBLE in real life..

had my first GE lesson today.. Choice Theory and Reality Therapy.. the lecturer's great, abit weird though.. hahaa.. kinda like the Mind Over Stress lecturer.. but i like both of them.. maybe because i'm really interested in what they're teaching.. unlike subjects like HEAT TRANSFER etc..

at first i thought i was gonna take this GE by myself.. who would haf known Diana n company also taking.. really very very 'qiao'.. haizz.. always stuck with her.. also dunno its a good or bad thing.. hahaa..

its 4am now n i think i should go to sleep.. wanted to write a 1000 word entry but i'm juz too tired.. zzz...

grandfather's birthday..

2006-04-24T01:27:00.000-07:00

grandfather's (mother side) birthday dinner today.. as usual, the whole lot of us, around 20 people, proceeded to the same place we went to for the past few years.. this whole bunch of relatives whom i only meet 2-3 times every year.. nothing much to say about them except that they are all very nice people..

most of them are 1 generation older than me and thus we really have no common topic to converse, except the usual stuff like asking me how's my school work and all that.. moreover i am the type who dun really talk much (or rather dun really LIKE to talk much) except for times when i'm very happy, or with certain friends i can click with..

dinner was fun though i din really talk much.. i was happy just being able to have dinner with these people, hear them talk about stuff like buying 4D etc.. much of the conversation revolve around money.. seems that money is very important to them..
2 of my uncles secretly passed me some money.. 1 $20 n 1 $100.. of course i accepted them.. we dun meet often and thus their only form of showing care n concern for me is through giving me money, i guess.. and i'm really quite grateful..

actually have alot of things to write down.. but now's exam period so dun wanna waste too much time.. juz wanna conclude i had a great time this evening (not because of the $120 of course)..

Play hard to get

happy birthday to you...

2006-04-20T21:57:00.000-07:00

today's the birthday of 'pinky', and today's the first time i actually talked to her.. met her for a cup of coffee about 2 hrs before my design paper.. chatted with her for about half an hour..

hmm.. saw her once during the starting of my 2nd year 1st semester, when i just got into MAE.. she was the vice-president of the MAE Club then, and was assigned to give us a speech.. could still remember her all this while even though i did not actually see her again until recently.. i'm surprised myself that she's now my friend.. anyway just wanna wish her a happy birthday..

the design paper today was really hard and i left about 33 marks blank..was quite confident before the paper (thats why got time to meet someone for coffee), but after the paper, it was like the song we (me, yz, zq, jj n yh) listened while we studied in the tutorial room. The lyrics go "I tried so hard, and get so far. But in the end, it doesn't even matter. I had to fall, to lose it all..." Haizz..

anyway, i'm very grateful to these guys for helping me with my preparations with exams.. especially Yong Hong for teaching me MP3011.. really had fun studying together with these guys, even though sometimes i get quite pissed off..
3 papers passed so far, 3 more to go.. i really hope exams finish fast..

2 papers gone.. 4 more left..

2006-04-18T10:44:00.000-07:00

went sch in the morning today n i saw "pinky" at canteen A again.. 2 days in a row already.. walked past there n when i looked up she also happened to look up, pleasant surprise to start the day.. some people call this fate.. hahaa.. i think too much liao..

had my 2nd paper for this semester, Heat Transfer. went into the exam hall thinking i'll get a 'B' for this paper, but came out knowing i'll most probably get a 'C'.. Argh.. sianz.. saddened.. disappointed..

effort put in not equals results u get.. nonetheless feeling much better now.. as the chinese saying goes: shit weng lose horse, dunno issit a bad thing or a blessing in disguise.. hahaa.. must learn to look at things on the bright side.. i've always believe there are 2 sides to everything.. depends on which side u choose to look at..

tomorrow's the first day of exams..

2006-04-11T21:25:00.000-07:00

haizz.. tomorrow's the 1st day of exams and i'm damn stressed now. woke up today to a nice weather n everyone's mood seems to be rather good.. got the 'holidays already' feeling.. den went for lunch with haolingz, jazzel, terry, amelia, jeanie n yongcai.. long time nvr go eat in such a large grp le.. =) by the time we came back, i got a girlfriend! and i dun even know who is she.. ^^"

study study till 7 plus had dinner den short nap den study again.. now super stressed over MP3002..

anyway, some exam tips here:

(1) have sufficient sleep even if u cannot finish studying.
(2) wake up earlier to have breakfast b4 you go for ur paper (experts say eat le den can think n work)
(3) since it is necessary to have breakfast, make sure u wake up damn early to eat liao den go shit b4 ur paper (my own suggestion)
(4) relax urself b4 e paper. dun try to read n absorb anything when u are juz outside e examination hall (dun be that STUPID, u will only make urself more nervous)
(5) bring a stuff toy to e examination hall. keep playing wif it n distract ur opponents.

thats all for now.. will update any new tips once i think of them..

56-45.. we won..

2006-01-07T01:32:00.000-08:00

Had our IH quarter-finals vs hall 7 today. We dun have many supporters. I only remember seeing Leon, Bernard, Kang Sheng, Jie Lin... Starting line-up: Hai Tao, Yong Cai, John, Weiyong and Terence. 1st quarter performance was bad and we trailed by a few points.

2nd quarter. My turn to go on court. 1st shot, a 3-pointer. The ball went in. I was surprised by my own shot. However, i was quite silent for the rest of the quarter. By the end of the 1st half, hall 7 still managed to maintain their lead.

Start of the 2nd half, my 1st shot, a 3-pointer as well. The ball swished through the net once again. I thought i'll be on fire, but i was wrong. Our team remained in the slum and we were down by 9 points.

Last quarter, our final chance. We played pretty well and managed to turn the game around. Hai Tao was the hero and he made quite a number of baskets, including a crucial 3-pointer which extend our 2-point lead to 5. Final score: 56-45 Hall 10 won.

Played for 30 mins. Scored 13 points including 3 3-pointers. Thats not good enough. Hope i can perform better in the semis.

1st Match Coming Up...

2005-12-07T17:21:00.000-08:00

Went for basketball training after work yesterday. During the debrief, Terence talked a bit about our upcoming match versus hall 4. He would be going overseas and won’t be playing that match, and according to what he said, hall 10 had never won a single match without him. Yong Cai and Hai Tao would be attending IVP training and may not be able to play too. Even if they play, they would be too exhausted to give their best.

Kai Yuen, John, Weiyong, Zhan Peng and me would be the starting line-up and Terence stresses that our fate depends on the shooters in our team for this match. And that makes me very important for this match because “ah-hem” I am one of the best shooters in the team (shooting’s my only forte, I suck at everything else). Terence expects me to get about 20 points, including approximately 5 three-pointers. Imagine our team with a final score of about 50 points, 20 points would be near half our total points!

Initially I aim to score about 12-15 points, which I think is highly possible to obtain. But after what Terence had said, I now aim to score 20 points or more. Looking forward to the match. Its gonna be My Play Time.

Watched “Superhost” last night in Secksen’s room. Lee Teng’s performance was quite good and his points for his performance landed him in the 4th position. Normally I dun vote for such contests but last night I voted for him.

To my surprise, after the show ended, I received a phone call telling me I’ve been picked to come up with a question to ask one of the contestants later at 11.30pm when they announce the results for the telephone and sms voting for the contestants.

Watched the results at 11.30pm and ironically, the contestant who got the lowest points for the performance earlier on (the 17 year-old guy) had the most votes while the one (LuoYi) with the highest points got the least votes. Was very nervous for Lee Teng when they announced the results for the voting one by one. In the end, Lee Teng ranked 7th ! Haiz… Dunno why he has no ‘guan zhong yuan’.

In the end, I was not picked to be the one asking them the question (the chosen audience’s question is much better than mine, that’s why). It was a fight between the 17-year-old and LuoYi to see who gets to stay in the competition. The rest of the contestants and their mentor, Guo Liang, get to vote and decide who to knock out. As expected, all of them except Lee Teng and Guo Liang voted LuoYi out as they view LuoYi as a stronger rival.

I have no idea what was the reason for the organizers to come up with such a voting scheme, as this would end up with the 2 lousiest hosts fighting in the finals. Anyway, I think that its so unfair that LuoYi got voted out in the 1st round. I personally feel that he is quite good (given the fact he got the highest point during the performance) and is considered one of the better looking ones among the contestants, thus it is so unfair to kick him out so soon. The 17-year-old should be the one to go. Haiz, anyway this world is never fair.

LIFE IS SO UNFAIR.

my personality

2005-12-03T11:44:00.000-08:00

Try this personality test..
http://quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Your view on yourself: You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love: You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education: You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you: You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success: You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.
What are you most afraid of:You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self: You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust.

Hmm... very true...

so many things to write... but i'm too lazy...

2005-12-02T00:48:00.000-08:00

Went volleyball training yesterday. Tried serving the ball and spiking the ball at the volleyball court at canteen 2. Halfway through the training i looked at my palm and i realised that my whole hand was swollen! Continued to practise nevertheless. Trained from 2.30pm to about 6pm, was quite tired by then. Never in my whole life had i played so much volleyball.

Was abit fed up last night again because Yong Cai and Seck Sen said they would be going for supper at 10.30pm sharp. I told them i dun trust them but they insist they will go at 10.30pm. In the end they went at 11.51pm. I had wanted to join them if they went at 10.30pm, but 11.51pm was too late for me. Please note that i was only 'abit' fed up because i had expected them to either cancel supper or go quite late. It happened quite a number of times already.

Today kena fierced by Ernest for the second time, due to some misunderstandings. Rushed back hall straight after work only to find that basketball training was cancelled because of too people attending. Originally planned to rush to the NIE court to join them.

Chatted with Vonny on MSN earlier on. First time i actually chatted with her. The last time i chatted with her boyfriend! Even got her hp number, and Yong Cai said he would not pass me any ball during tmr's match if i ask her for her hp number. Hahaa...

Went running for the first time since dunno when. Ran the bus 199 route. Actually tried to jio Vonny to run together but she said she bathed already. To my surprise, i saw Hai Tao at the NIE court secretly practising his 3-pointer. No wonder his shooting is so good! I thought such scenes only happen in comic. Going to train alone only to discover your team-mate also doing training on his own.

Challenged him 3-pointer. We played 11 balls and it ended in a tie. 2nd time 5 balls and he win me 5-0. Nevermind, tmr's match we shall see who scores more.

The Exorcist...

2005-11-22T05:51:00.000-08:00

Juz finished watching "The Exorcist" in Jeanie's room, together with my brother, Amelia and Seck Sen. The show was very boring, and i fell asleep a few times, especially the front part. And the only interesting parts were that of the possessed gal being erm... possessed.

Now already 5.30am in the morning and i am dead tired, but i dun feel like sleeping yet. Someone else's blogging right now and i thought since i dun feel like sleeping yet, i shall write some nonsense here. Think i should be going to sleep after this entry since i have nothing to do.

Quite happy today because i have no work tomorrow! Had dinner with JAYS (jeanie, amelia, yongcai & secksen) at canteen 14 today. Lucky they didn't go canteen 9 as i'm really sick of the food there.

Oh yah, not to forget to mention i MSNed Vonny today! but it turned out that it was her boyfriend i chatted with. AND i actually chatted with him happily! The joy similar to that of a child eating his favourite ice-cream. I think i'm too bored. All the others still have papers, except for Jeanie.

Dun actually know what i'm blogging for... because only 1 person know my blog. Sometimes i wonder whether i wrote all this down juz for her to read.. hahaa... Think maybe i will slowly announce my blog to a few of my close friends, IF i have the chance that is. It wun be fun if too many people know my blog, as that would only make more people aware of how much i dislike them.

This is my blog. And so i write wat i wanna write.

Oh, and 1 more thing. I dreamt of Stephen Chow today during my afternoon nap! I dun dream of him often so i must say today is a special day... hahaa...

women are nothing but trouble...

2005-11-18T00:09:00.000-08:00

Almost went crazy just now. Stupid Ruilin keep MSNing me even though i told her i was busy. Got so stressed that i had to 'disconnect'. Been rather disturbed by her SMSes lately too. Her SMSes for the past few days only revolve around 2 topics.

Topic 1: Me & Jeanie
Dunno wat i did to give her the impression that i like Jeanie. Why would i like that xiao char bo u tell me.

Topic 2: Her Personal Problems
Friends should care for one another i agree. But given my 'heck care' attitude, i dunno wat gave her the impression that i would be interested to know so much about her problems. She's really very 'fan' at times, so much so that i can't stand it.

Hope she can find a boyfriend soon so that she dun have to keep bothering me.
