Birthday

2008-11-08T14:10:00.002+08:00

Hi there, I'm just back from my field camp (1 - 6 Nov). Very dirty but not very tiring.

Spent my 20th birthday in the forest. It's lonely and felt a bit sad.

One thing to clarify, my phone was cranky when I got back to bunk. I received only 4 smses from 2 persons. That made me even sadder... Cause all my friends and family had forgotten about my birthday....

BUT....

Its the phone's fault. I dialed some of my friends and asked if they had sent me messages during that period of time and they said they sent BUT I didn't receive any...

I'm sorry for not replying to you all.

Back to tekong real soon... For another 4 days field camp this Monday.

I'm tired.

im off

2008-10-07T23:49:00.001+08:00

I'm off.

See you all in 2 weeks time.

love

2008-10-06T00:08:00.005+08:00

BOO hoo!!! Counting down. 3... 2..... 1.....

The process of enlisting made me feel like . . .

Just kidding. I'm not that sad.

In fact, it made me happy. With all the people around me showing concern about me prior to my enlistment.

I know who are my worthy friends. Thank you very much. I feel touched and I feel nice.

There is a friend who developed photos for me to paste them on my NS Cardboard mirror.
I will stick it on the mirror, I'm bringing blu-tack along, haha.

There is a friend who said that I can call him anytime if I need help or whatever.
I'll call you if I really need your help, I really appreciate it. Though we don't really contact each other, but I know that you are eager to help me.

There is a friend who wants to have dinner with me before I enlist.
You put in effort in making things happen and I know that and I appreciate it.

There is a friend who wants to know which company and platoon I am in so that he can visit me when he visits Tekong.
It's really nice of you. When he visits me at Tekong, wah seh, I have visitor leh!! haha.

There is a friend who put my name on his army contact list.
I think I'm really honored.

There are friends who had lunches/dinners with me before I enlist.
Thanks ar, thanks for taking out some time from you all de hectic schedules to dine with me.

There is a friend who wants to send me to Tekong.
I doubt you'll come since you are the only one. It will be damn weird to send me with my parents, haha.

I know the friends that value our friendships.
I know it very well.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE NICE PEOPLE

POH MING XIAN, here it is!!

Botak ONG.

4 days to ns

2008-10-04T11:47:00.003+08:00

It's counting down to enlistment day. Another Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday; and Thursday I'll be in.

I will forgo a lot of things being a NSF. Without NS, I guess I will never be out of my own comfort zone. It's time for me to grow up and every single friend of mine can do it, so why can't I?

I've been hanging out late and spending quite a bit on outings and to make things worse, I'm not earning. I may find NS a good change? Sleep early, exercise daily, a sense of achievement at the end of the day, make more friends and more of it. . .

Am I aimlessly floating on this island not knowing where I'll end up in future?
I will find out where I'm heading soon.

In a recent gathering with the Montfort people, attendance was 8/8. The entire clique was present. Despite our hectic schedules, we made an effort to meet up and catch up. It was a happy day and we took a very nice group shot.

And another shot which I took. very nice.
I think after the Taiwan trip and NS tribulations (which I have yet to encounter), our bonds strengthened or perhaps its the bond between ME and the other people? It's a wonderful feeling to know that there are nice people around me and they are my friends.

On the contrary, another Montfort clique; the basketball people which were the ones I hanged out with during most of my Montfort days. It's rather saddening to realise that I'm not part of them anymore. I visited them last Wednesday and there's this "guest appearance" feel. Not the glam glam part of guest appearance but the coldness of being a guest. Haha. But still, different people have different routes to take, we move on and make new friends. Or our paths will cross once again?

All these are history.

And lastly, to copy the famous bloggers out there who often have advertorials.

Oh, NS is looming.

Enlistment details:

9 Oct 2008(thurs)

1015 at Pasir Ris Terminal

Going to pack my bag tomorrow and get the things ready. Will I end up with a super big bag, full of unnecessary stuff? And when should I shave botak? Should I also start to wear specs instead of contact lens? Sleep early? Exercise daily?

I must be both psychologically and physically strong.

I tend to motivate myself by thinking I'm a SOLDIER (as in the one in the PSP crisis core game). It makes me feel motivated, very(though very stupid). Seeing all my friends going in and in and I'm one of the last to enlist. I should appreciate the additional time I have for passing my Napfa.

But what did I do for the past month? DOTA-ing away? Am I really happy with how I spend my time? Confused.

Do I fully appreciate it? Do other people appreciate my presence? I guess its only when there's loss, only then, people can appreciate.

But why do I need others to appreciate? Confused.

I've been out for so many days and nights. I learn new things, get exposed. Is it a bit over for me to take it?Confused.

What do I really want in my life? I'm lost. I can't get in Uni's. Should I work? Is me being me a burden to anybody? At least I have 2 years of buffer for me to think. 2 years is long but yet short.Confused.

Have to remain positive, +ve.

5 points to be happy

1. Free your heart from hatred-forgive

2. Free your mind from worries

3. Live simply and appreciate what you have

4. Give more

5. Expect less

Good morning. I would like to share some photos that I took yesterday. Here's a sunflower to greet your day(see 1st photo).

Chinatown

Actually the shops there not bad leh, very colourful, courteous service staff and still can bargain. But I bought nothing la. I too Ah-Thus for chinatown. Haha. Not really la. The Things they sell are for uncles and aunties lo....

And we went the buddha tooth relic temple, 1st time for me and it was awe-inspiring.

Hai, I think I lost my touch on blogging. Nothing to say and just bombard with photos.

2 more weeks to my enlistment. Fret not, because I am SOLDIER. haha.

out of post

2008-09-23T16:58:00.002+08:00

I didn't post for a very long time and it hit me in a sudden; why am i not posting?

1. Is it because I don't see that there are audience waiting for my posts? (I know I'm not a star)

2. Or is it I don't see that I'm oblige to post to entertain people? (I know that people don't need me to entertain them and my posts are not that entertaining)

These are 2 main reasons why popular local bloggers such as snowfall (you know who?) blogs and to add another one, money. Haha.

But the reason I blog is probably to keep my friends aware of what I am doing (if they want, and to which to an extent means that they are concerned).

But I'm not really posting lor. WHY AR?? haha.

This is a short FUNNY post and I'm hooked on DOTA. Only the fantasy of SAF (Credits to SIA coining this term) will save me from the depths of hell.

1st time clubbing and napfa test

2008-08-28T13:42:00.002+08:00

Wah, I actually clubbed last nite. It's super crowded and it's not bad fun after all. Don't have very interesting stories to share, only the fact that I clubbed which probably makes it a little bit interesting.

Ya, not funny.

And also ar, I passed my Napfa test which means I'm gonna be enlisting at least one month later than the stipulated 12 September. Which probably means I can go for another overseas trip. A thailand/Phuket cheap beach getaway??

Speaking about Napfa test ar, my 2 biggest worries are the pull-up station (I am heavy and my arm no strength) and the 2.4 km run. For the test ar, the 1st station is the pull up bar lo. Heng heng I can do 5 pull-ups, its like I am super HENG. If I fail then I'll just leave the place. But I passed!! I'm so happy!!

Anybody want to go holiday with me then??

Holidaying

2008-08-21T11:12:00.003+08:00

After coming back from Taiwan, I've been holidaying in Singapore and to a little extent, training for NS. I'm listing down things that I did, very briefly nia and I think most people won't read it la cause it is boring. But still, I'm listing them down.

I don't have exciting photos to show cause people still don't want to send me (In fact there's only one person who should send me photos/videos. I know your com spoil, but still I'm gonna nag).

LIST is HERE

Going for lunches/dinners.

Singing.

Movies and shopping.

Safra Tampines/ Mount Faber.

Sentosa.

Birthday Celebrations.

Swimming/Running/Doing pull-ups.

Learning to play piano.

And there's 2 photos of me and mom. It's taken before the "date" we went yesterday. I know in both photos I did not smile. It is not that I'm unhappy or what lor. The photos' that I smiled was either blur or not nice. (And don't say I got guilty conscience or what)

好像早就决定一样　
你忽然直闯我心上
聚了却又散　多少曲折都不算　
我还是要把你找回我的身旁

让我挥去你眼中的忧伤　
让我看见你最初的阳光
把你的渴望　寄放在我臂弯　
我的脚步有你的方向

总有微微香　在你笑的脸上
变成我迷恋的力量　
越过黑暗到彼岸

在变化多端世界上
不会变的芬芳　
我们的爱啊

back from taiwan

2008-08-11T10:34:00.007+08:00

Hi there, I'm back from Taiwan.

I miss my home and my people. Those 8 days are so long and being back home feels so nice. But the thing is, in a months time, I'm enlisting.

We had 4 cameras with us and I have 589 photos in my camera alone.

Out of the 589 photos i selected the nicer and with me inside ones and there is only 40 plus left. (Because its my camera, I do the shooting and am not in most of the photos)

And thanks to the photographers who took many great shots of me (though haven see, but I believe they will be nice la, of course, after editing, haha).

Here's some photos from my camera:

Visited liu fu chun on the first day after we arrived in Taiwan. I didn't expect that cause the itinerary doesn't say so. I had to play in long sleeves and jeans and the weather was freaking hot. Somemore I was in specs. Did not really enjoyed it but the theme park is nice la.

There's 4 different themes in the theme park itself and we took camel rides.

The first hotel we stayed. Quite a cosy hotel and its the few "zi lian" self-shot photos that I took. The rest of the days I had my own photographer, haha.

Pen-ing down my thoughts and doing a financial check.

Here's AliShan. Its 8000 plus meters above sea level and temperature was 10 plus degrees. I thought we need to go hiking and climb mountain so I wore shorts la. VERY COLD.

Tasting Wasabi+ salt+pepper

Act act shot again.

Now we are at Taroko Gorge

At the very nice resort hotel, "PromisedLand". Our room have 3 queen size beds la.
At the jade museum place.
JiuFenPu

Chiang Kai Shek Memorial place.

Lovers Bridge. Love is infectious la, you'll know what I mean if you scroll down.

Enjoyed my trip and probably another trip before NS? Have time? We'll see.

2008-07-30T10:25:00.006+08:00

Hi all, its 30 July today and 2 more days I'll be flying off to Taiwan. But there are strong winds and floods and natural disasters there la, aren't you worried for me? Or you are those super bitchy kind that will ask me: "Got buy insurance buy more more not?"

If its my friend who goes to Taiwan instead of me, I'll be the meanie and ask him to buy more insurance and also with more coverage hor! I think that's just me la but after all the bitching, I'll then show my real concern, Deep down my heart (actually not that deep la) I am concerned for the people around me(If you do not know and think what I say/do is like Boh Hyou(hue) like that then perhaps you don't know me well).

In my life, relationships play a big part, career a big part too. Quite a few people told me recently that they are short on money, is money that important as compared to the 2 I mentioned earlier? From my point of view, money is important and money and career comes hand in hand, so with a promising career, money will flow automatically to you la.

And...

For those worried and concerned about my well being, <I will take good care of myself and those people going with me are somewhat sensible so they will take care of me?? I don't know, or is it the reverse?>

Here's more photoshop stuff done.

I want to watch the movie as shown below. I've actually blur-ed off the particular movie poster that I want to watch and gave subtle(or is it prominent) hints what the movie is.

After the day of cystoscopy, I whipped up pasta with my mom. Tastes alright but it turns cold very fast la. (People cook and they'll say its nice but I say alright nia ar)

And some small small ambition of mine.

Some photos that should be here long ago.

Shuai Sia, I think.
Emotional man. Off to TAIWAN, byebye. Take care of yourselves.

Post endoscopy

2008-07-25T16:42:00.002+08:00

Its almost 24 hours after I had my Happy Mcdonald's Sausage Muffin $2 meal x2. And I'm beginning to feel better after the endoscope, but to be more precise, its a cystoscope.

And what is a cystoscope procedure leh? You can read here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystoscopy

Or you continue reading on where I'll give an explicitly detailed account of my "once in a lifetime" opportunity of cystoscopy. Luckily everything is normal for me (damn it la, shouldn't have go for it lor)

The total time spent in the hospital is about 2 hours while the scope procedure only takes about 10 minutes.

With the regular waiting at hospital and after all the administrative procedures, my turn came and off I went to the surgical room. The room was cold and lights were pretty dim and it made me sleepy. I was asked to lie on the bed and remove my bottoms and they covered it with some cloth. If you didn't read the link, they are going to take photos of my bladder using a tube-like device that have camera, light and can fill water, 3 in one la through the urethra. Yes, its not through the asshole, its through the penis (=kukubird = kkb which I'm gonna use it later on), the urethra then the ureters and finally the bladder. YUCKS LA!! Really shouldn't have went.

Then I was still lying there, feeling cold and nervous and I asked the nurse why so long la. And she explained that its because they are waiting for the scope to come. Doctors/Nurses are all on standby, the main lead is not here yet.

Initially it was only 1 doc and 1 nurse. After about 15 minutes lying there, then suddenly ar, more nurses came, bringing the main lead in. And everything happened so fast. The nurse then say, going to expose you le ar. Then I replied orh, there's nothing much to say la.

Here comes the disgusting part.

The doctor first used some sort of cloth soaked in cleaning agent and cleaned the tip of my kkb and he like cannot be gentler la, clean also clean so rough. And he cleaned like 4 or 5 times lor. That's the starting point where I experienced the discomfort.

After which he took a needle filled with transparent liquid which I guess it's the anesthetic and I like "wah" la and before I knew it, he filled the liquid into the kkb tip. Luckily its not inject la. I thought he was gonna inject at that time.

And again, before I knew it. He started inserted the tube in le lor... I was quite tensed up and the people keep asking me to relax, machiam give birth to baby la. Then I took long breath ins and outs. Then I felt some liquid coming out, weird. And I was somehow squeuling and yanking and also laughing. "Yeah, you are doing good but you are enjoying it ar? " said the doc. NO lor, its super pain and uncomfortable la!!! And I began relaxing as the tube was already inside me (you all watch batman le mah? just like the joker put a telephone inside the criminals stomach la) and I can feel the my bladder contracting.

They took a few photos and off the tube came off and my bladder feels quite full now. They asked me to clean myself put on my bottoms and follow the nurse out. I felt pretty fine then but after about 5 minutes. I felt like going to the toilet to pee. After pee-ing, the pain come le lor. I even sit down properly and I stayed in the toilet biting my left sleeve and let the pain subside. Slowly but surely, the pain diminished. But until yesterday, I still feel pain when I pee. But now I'm almost 90 percent okay. =)

And here's the image of my bladders/ureters/urethras. Decide which one is which yourself.

GO TRY IT, its once of a lifetime experience. haha!!

And one last thing, the nurses are very friendly at TTSH Endoscopy centre. From admin to health de to bring food to you one. All very caring and friendly. And at the end of everything when a nurse briefed me about post-procedures and things to take note of, I told her:"You guys are great, very caring and very nice. Happy working!!" Gave her a handshake and a bow. SHE dunno how happy lor!! and she still have to pretend a bit and tell me to drink more water and byebye. HAHA!!

endoscopy

2008-07-25T09:16:00.002+08:00

ENDOSCOPY
Going for my endoscopy soon, scheduled at 1145. The doctors say its something not very painful, a normal and straightforward procedure where many people do it everyday and it takes only 15 minutes? to complete everything.

I'll update if what they say is true la. And thx JM ar, but the PICTURES plsssss....

Will be eating Mcdonald's before going for the scope, to make myself happier by eating a happy meal. No la, must be budget conscious and eat the $2 muffin deal la. But I'm changing the coffee to either milk or orange juice.

TAIWAN
Taiwan trip is confirmed confirmed. With 9 people in the group, 5 of us guys, and 3 Mdms and 1 Miss. And we will be bringing PSPs', DSs' to kill the traveling time la.

Yes, we are going on a tour and we will tour the major cities of Taiwan and quite a bulk of time will be spent traveling on a coach I think. It's the first time we going Taiwan leh... I don't want to be lost by doing free and easy.

And I've listed down the names to buy stuff for them from Taiwan. The list is not too long (my network is small la) and not too short (I'm a nice person whom likes to buy things for people and make them happy). But if you did'nt receive something from me, it doesn't mean that you are not important la. Probably just slightly off my priority list or perhaps I can't get suitable stuff for you but at the very least, still have some food to share. NO GUARANTEE though as I don't want to make empty promises.

FISH SPA
Im sort of fascinated by the fish spa now, you know those that come and bite off your dead skin cells. I chanced upon an advertisement in a magazine while cutting my hair. Fabulous Tans is offering 10mins for 10 dollars which I think is a bit on the high side. They let you do your feet or your whole body(which I think is more worth is la). So if any of my friend friend readers you all have good deals or recommendations, sms me ar.

CUT HAIR
I cut my hair le. Looks a bit unbalanced. But its short, which means easy to wash, easy to dry and easy to maintain. But its those must style then look nice de, but I dont want to style la. But anyway, botak in 1 month plus time.

DREAMS
I've been having weird dreams recently, like friend dying. And I read a book on dreams yesterday and it says that the dreams that appear are our desires. Which means I want my that particular friend to die? No.

The book also says that there could be a deeper meaning in it and should not be look at the superficial level (our brains are more powerful than on the surface lor). So one conclusion about this kind of friend die dream ar is that I like sad sad things la.

I'm a Sadist. (But I sort of felt sad when I had that dream la, even tear-ed lor...)

Going to bathe and have my Mcdonald's. BYEBYE.

vids again

2008-07-20T23:49:00.002+08:00

videos!!!

2008-07-20T11:47:00.008+08:00

I've been super active blogging la because I'm very free.

Here's a few videos, all of which are about music. Classical piano, Jap song, Chinese song and an orchestrated piece. And their pattern/style/type are those sad sad but at the same time beautiful, listening + watching can stir emotions, at least on mine la

I don't really surf Youtube, watch vids randomly unless I have something in mind.

To watch the videos without my background music interfering, simply click the stop (X) button at the top - right.

Here we go.

This piano piece "Kiss the Rain" is by Yiruma, a famous composer from Korea. I first chanced upon this piece in some random imeem playlist. I used it as my background music. I particularly like the starting of this video (0.06 to 0.18). I liked the way he played super fast at some of the parts.

And also, this music was used during the Sze Chuan Charity Show where QuanYifeng teared. The part where she was reading out a handphone message that a Mom left for her baby, in the end, the mom died and the baby survived. Because she protected her baby from the collapse building and debris with her own body.

Next up, its still a piece composed by Yiruma but not he himself executing the song. The white grand piano and layout of the room are evidence that the one playing is a rich kid and from the comments on Youtube, he is only reaching 20 this September. He did a remix version of "River Flows in You".

"First Love" by Utada Hikaru. Me and my friends were wondering if this is a happy or sad song long time ago and it turned out to be a song with both feelings in it upon understanding the song from the subs. And I like the the background blue lights very much.

I've been trying to sing this song but its too high la, still cannot execute it properly. "Yi Yan Shun Jian" by A Mei and Jam Hsiao.

Another touching song, "To be Loved".

Lastly, an orchestrated piece. Aerith's theme from the game Final Fantasy 7.

The Taiwan trip is confirmed. I'll be going from 2Aug and coming back on an evening flight on 9Aug which means I'll probably have the chance to view fireworks from the plane, but probability is nearly zero lor.

I'll be going with a tour group of 7 people of which 5 of them is our people and I think the remaining 2 will be damn sad lor. Because we will DOMINATE them!! Unless they are a couple living in their own sweet world and see us as transparent beings.

Go Taiwan ar, must buy lots of stuff and enjoy lor, and I had my Influenza jab to prevent flu for 25 dollars.

And my mood was super bad yesterday lor, reached home, bathed and slept. And I woke up at 7am today. Feeling fresh and super nice.

Hi there!! How is everyone doing?

Are you feeling:

Good/Bad/Excellent/Poor/Unsatisfied or Over the moon/sweating like a Pig/Happy/Sad??

For me I feel Good. I've been fully utilising my time and happy doing what I like; going out, have great food, friends and family all around, drawing, learning the keyboard diligently (just a little of it), playing with photoshop and of course blogging with lots of photos.

My 2 August Taiwan Trip is coming soon and so does my 12 Sep enlistment. I must enjoy as much as I can before I enlist lor.

Almost everything will change when I enlist. I think my life will then revolve around NS and nothing else lor. BUT....but...., I'll try hard not to. Hai, don't think too much la.

And here's the photos:

And this coming tuesday, gonna catch Red Cliff

And some photoshop playing:

I guess my rex friend here won't be angry with me ba.

And I completeeeddddd my drawing...

Artist's Comments (on my deviantart account) joch88.deviantart.com

Hi there!! Thank you for taking few seconds to take a closer look at my art piece.

This kid is 2 years-old and he's my cousin. I took photos of him during his 2nd birthday celebration and felt like drawing him.

I think I have improved by comparing it with my previous works and will continue to work hard. I'm open for any constructive criticisms and of course, compliments as well.

It's done on A3 paper and 2B, 4B, 6B pencils. It took me roughly 8 hours to complete.

And hope you all like it and feel:

Good/Bad/Excellent/Poor/Unsatisfied or Over the moon/sweating like a Pig/Happy/Sad.

Having all the expensive outings and treating people made me poorer lor...

And I want to eat Cheap Food from now lor...

But kana scolded by my secondary people lor...

"Go eat with girls eat expensive buffet, eat with us eat cheap food, its a fact la, dont deny it."

I declared I want cheap food le ar, don't accuse me again, haha.

In a bid to save money, my activities for this week and perhaps the following week as well shall be:

1. Draw
Currently I am drawing my 2 year old cousin and I'm left with the shading of the clothings. Next up will be a commissioned piece leh for a 2-month contract staff (nevermind if you don't understand). And also, I'm waiting for a group photo of my year 1 polymates to be send to me. And I'll draw it if I look considerably okay in it.

2. Swim
Have been swimming every weekday since last week and managed to finish 40 laps for every session. And I want to perfect the filp-turn la, but a bit hard lo.

3. Learn to play the keyboard
Bought a keyboard recently and have practised it for a day with those kiddy learning-piano books which includes very nice and cute songs and I sang out loud the lyrics. It's called BRAVERY la.

4. Sing
Singing at my auntie's pub is free de lor. Drinks inclusive as well.

5. Standing and sitting straight
Which is so hard lor... I realised I have bad posture and am trying real hard to correct it.

Btw I'm now blogging from Malaysia and just now, some car banged onto our car while waiting at the Singapore immigration checkpoint and he still sounded as if he was in the right.

And yesterday, some car horned----eddddd at me for like nothing lor.

These drivers ar, should be taught a lesson la. But since I'm NOT THOSE uncouth people who will get down the car and start arguing or even fight, I just wish they have some form of retribution from heaven. Like maybe the lighting strike their car or the wind blow their car and overturn it.

Not funny, I know.

Have a great day!!

Hi there, my longest post ever with lots of edited photos and combi of photos I did on Photoshop. Yes, I know I am very "ENG" to do all these, but as you can also see, I'm not that "ENG" after all with 4 group outings in a row and I'm still going to watch Hancock tomorrow lor... Spending and spending till I earn some money as a Recruit. Haha.

Here it goes.... And it starts with Friday ar...

We went Kbox with only like 3 ppl. Then 1 left for work after 2 hours of eating finger food and not singing. Then another 1 joined us 1 hour after the 1st one left. They have names though, just that I'm not using it only. And the last one sang with me some duets and introduced new songs to me and I like fu(4) huo(2).

The last one is the one that camwhore-ed with me. She brought her camera too and took a lot of pictures as well but being inefficient, she has yet to send us the pictures. And btw ar, in her camera there's a few nice shots of me, whahaha!! and a super funny video.

SO here's photos of the last one and Johnathan =)

And here's photos of me... I like this pic and in front of me is some black black thing which is actually another person. Up-ed the contrast and I think it is the person who camwhore-ed with me. Remove her from the picture so can only see me la.

But still, I should'nt be that evil la, cause she helped me take photos of ME only!!

And the 3 of us. And some friend of mine said I look like Jay chou in this pic, so hurt la. FOR ME. Jay chou fans, not happy ar.? I can smell it from someone with a B and a R and a E and a D.

DO I mean Bread? haha.

After the a-bit boring K box session. A bit only, not many bits. We went to eat Japanese Buffet at Suntec. Paid a whopping 43.5 dollars per pax lor. And a few others joined us. The buffet is the one with the commercial, Dong dong dong, 1, 2, 3, we are Kushinbo. Dong dong dong 1, 2, 3, Japanese buffet blah blah blah.

It serves those long legged snow crab which is super sweet and nice. Their fare is fabulous. Accompanied by random special treats where a bell will ring and the 1st 20 customers that queue up successfully will get say, lobster? or abalone?. We are no match for the experienced kiasu uncles and aunties. REALLY.

And we proceeded to the arcade. Super fun lor. Played basketball, hand reaction game, racing car (I sucked at it), Bishi Bashi. And I played until I sweat like pig. And the nice nice pics in the other camera is me posing to throw the basketball lor. Still got a bit of shuai-ness in it la, but SHE DONT WANT TO SEND. Or perhaps she is working and busy lor.

The person I lost to...

And the following pic shows you whats the difference between a man and a boy.

And introducing the emo-queen. She emo-ed since her best friend is leaving for Australia for 1 and a half years. The following pics are the evidence:

And and, some super cute guy smiled at her at 12am and she changed 360 degrees lor... You see. DO you think someone like me will spin lies???

A group pic without me lor. Because the full full group pic is not in my camera!! HUMPF....

Type until here, super tired le la. And I did'nt use any colour and big/small font size and have yet to check grammatical errors lor. I just type and type.

Here we proceed to, the next day. And before that, I slept at 3am and woke up at 6am for a run lor. Siao siao ar!! But I clocked 13 minutes for my 2.4. Super lousy!! And in the evening, we went Kbox AGAIN. But his time, we were given a super spacious room. 5 of us were in a room fit for 10.

And here comes NS and NS-to-be singing competition.

Competitors tired after all the competition. But where's prawnie??
Rehearsals.

We rehearse dance as well, you know. A singer need to compose song, sing well, dance and a lot more lor.. so its not that easy.

And most of you should know lor... The winner is me la... And they even got a CD-cover done up for me. =)

And heres to Aloy,

It'll be my turn soon. =(

Proceed to the last day. Bringing Korean tuition kid out.

He playing arcade.

Drinking.
Eating.
I guessed I could've write more bout him but I'm a bit tired to explain the details. And super sweet ice-cream.

And we watched Kungfu Panda and having watched once already, I told him there's a last scene after all the longgggggggggg credits and we waited. The whole cinema of people left except for one family which the son insisted to watch but the parents are getting super impatient. And I'll show you the last scene, if you had missed.

Its a scene where Po and Shifu sat down under the peach tree where wugui died and they were eating dumpling and a young peach plant grew out from the peach seed where shifu buried it(in the beginning when Po have'nt train up).

So what does it mean leh? "Eat dumpling also nice to see meh", thats what the mother of the impatient family said to her son that wanted to wait to watch the last scene. Its either she's shallow or she don't know how to watch movie.

And after the movie, the Korean kid's mom treated me to a Korean dinner.

Very nice. AND I went to sent ms poh ming xian off at the airport.

ALL THE BEST TO ALL OF US. (super tired lor)

busy thur fri sat sun and lack of sleep and lots of photos

2008-07-06T22:38:00.003+08:00

Tuition and a post without photos

2008-06-30T22:35:00.002+08:00

I'm quiting tuitioning my korean boy.

This Wednesday is going to be my last day tuitioning him and I'm going to bring him out on Sunday to watch movie, eat popcorn and burgers, play arcade and buy sweets.

I told him just now that if I'm bringing him out to sell, will he still come with me? He say his mother will scold me lor...

And I want to learn piano. Buy big big stereo and blast music in my room.

boughts and a long post bout brandon's birthday

2008-06-28T00:49:00.014+08:00

Bought 2 items the day before yesterday; 1 T-shirt and 1 Bag. Its been very long since I buy things.

1st Item, T-shirt

The T-shirt that I bought is quite cute with a penguin in the front and I like the navy blue colour very much.

T-shirt hanging to dry Close up of Penguin
And it comes with a ... . . . .

Re-usable Environment Friendly Bag

which you can use it at NTUC's and you save 10cent for every 10dollars you spent leh!!

2nd item, a mesh bag for swimming.

Mesh Bag

After some packing efforts on my Wardrobe, I shall show off the super neat part of it and there are a few layers packed according to different usage. I don't usually keep the wardrobe so neat, especially the other 4/5 of it.

1/5 of my Wardrobe

The uppermost layer contains all the boxes of wallet, cologne and other gifts and I like boxes and storage stuff a lot.

4th floor of it

All the things that I use plus accessories.

3rd floor

Not with any purpose yet, just a place for putting whatever items so as to keep my room tidy.

2nd Floor

All my Arty stuff which includes, paper, pencils, past works and lots more. You see, there's boxes again. The black one is for colour pencils and pencils, red one poster colour (which I dont really know how to use), beige one for all the scissors ar, penknife ar and more.

Lobby

Was at my cousin's house yesterday to celebrate his birthday, play with him and eat his birthday cake =p His name is Brandon and he's a 2 years old boy. Often, you will hear from people how this or that relative's baby is uber super cutey pie, but you won't hear it from me. Look at the pictures and you'll decide. Though I feel that pictures are not very accurate in letting people know how you look like or what you are. Personal connection through face to face talks is the best!!

I took lots of pictures of him and played with him till I sweat like hell lor. And luckily he's not afraid of me (cause I got past incidents of him kana scared by me, purely by my looks and not those prankster frights) so we played quite happily together la. There were also many other people playing with him. My cousins and all the uncles and aunties. It must've been a super entertaining day for him.

And I did not buy a present for him which is rather embarrassing. Enough of words, heres the pictures;

2nd WIN

My 2 Biggest wins but I only won 10 dollars.

Muacks. Hearts.

Cloud

2008-06-25T21:42:00.005+08:00

Movie: Final Fantasy VII Advent Children
Main lead: Cloud Strife

I decided to draw him after a friend say that Cloud can even be his boyfriend. "HIS bf la"

So I started drawing him 4 days ago...

Normally I would print out the picture that I want to draw and then draw from there. But this time, I drew from the computer screen and the plus point is that I can zoom in to see the details details easier as compared to the prints.

First I draw a brief outline of him using a light 2B pencil and followed by some light shading of the face. Proportions went off, the hair and face is a bit out of shape and the bottom clothings are a bit long but still proceeded with the shading.

And at the bottom right, you can see theres a tiger-like brooch or something on his chest. I hate to draw that la. With all the complicating lines and tones.

Day 1

Then I proceeded with the hair. I used HB,2B pencil to mark out the hair lines and then 4B to do the shading. This is the first time I did this kind of Jap style hair and I think its quite nice la and its also the first time I use the tissue paper to produce the smudging effect.

Day 2

Next up, I did the glasses, clothings and part of the glove in 6B. As theres some hair overlapping the glasses, I know I had to create that feel but I don't know if I manage to show it. The glove made me spent the most time.

And also ar, all these pictures are taken using my camera and uploaded without editing anything so the pictures tend to be like reddish/blue-ish.

Day 3

And the final product

Day 4

I edited this though, to give it more contrast. Hope you all like it. And seeing the real artpiece is really SIBEH SHUANG la!!

Randomness

I changed my blog song to a piano ballad, "Kiss the Rain" by Yiruma. Super nice and touching right?

The birthday boy on Tuesday asked from me a birthday card which I didn't prepare for him. I felt bad, you'll get it next year. =) He asked from me probably because I was telling him the day before his birthday that birthday cards are actually the nicest gift that one can receive during his/her birthday. And a card filled full of sincere words and memories is the nicest. Btw, Im not refering to those mass print inside got birthday wishes that type ar.

Im enjoying singing now la. K box sessions please?

My sony ericsson phone is spoilt, Im using it as a Mp3 player cum camera now and my old Nokia 7270 as my phone.

And Tagboard also spoil la... Since the time when I asked for tags... Haha

GOOD NITE!!

Beijing Olympics

2008-06-20T17:31:00.006+08:00

It's another update on my latest artwork.

Beijing Huan Ying Ni and its NiNi that welcomes you first to the Olympics. NiNi is one of 5 fu wa for the Beijing Olympics, the one most left.

I drew NiNi on a 70gsm A4 paper and it proves to be dumb of me as Im using watercolour pencils to add colour and tone to it. (you know those type that are like normal colour pencils and then you can add water to it and it becomes smooth)

Here's the outline of it:

And after adding the colours then water (which the 70gsm paper like want to tear like that) then colour again here's the completed work and her face looks awfully Jaundice.

The Greenie plushie Toy

And some doodles on cooking =)

Try it!!

Casino Ship

2008-06-17T12:40:00.004+08:00

Its Casino time!! And this time I finally make money, out of like so many attempts, probably like 8 times. This casino thing is actually those Cruise-like Ship, remember, its not Cruise ar, I call it a SHIP. You board it at HarbourFront Station every Monday and pay $48 to get in with 3 meals provided-buffet style.

But...but.................but.. the thing is........

There are full of really-old uncle and aunties that snatch food like hungry ghosts la. And they are always so ever-ready to be kiasu to snatch seats, get on/out of boats or to the immigration.

See

But there are still young people like us =)

My mom and I played slots and our favourite type of Machine is this TOUCAN TANGO.

FAVE!!!

And I got this feature game that I won 160 dollars from it. Biggest ever winning in a spin la.

8595 credits won.

pictures and more of it

2008-06-15T22:55:00.003+08:00

I visited Guang Ming Shan with my mom to pray to my grandfather today and I saw this big Guanyin statue surrounded by many little kids statues (picture foreground) which I think is heart-warming.

And I took this picture which I think is very nice.

Just like in Kungfu Panda the movie, Po's goose father taught Po that something doesn't need to be special to be special, you just have to think that its special for it to be special.

SO IF I like something, I LIKE LOR and what matters is how yourself think!!

.......

.....

...

And I would like to let you all know a little miny more bout me.

My CCA in Secondary School, Snooker. The game that is played with sticks on huge green tables and 15red balls that form a trangle.

And what do you think is inside the 2 longish boxes? (focus is not the blue chair ar)

Ta-dah!

Its my cue.

I have 2 in fact, one pool and one snooker cue. The one centre with a little brown is the pool cue.

And they are joint cues. See. see.

And me with the cue

And its still me. =)

Kinopio and cookies

2008-06-14T23:20:00.004+08:00

Baked cookies last Sunday at Aloy's house and in the end we got banana cake/bread pattern (if you know what I mean) cookies. Not crunchy but soft and thick. And we added one whole rectangle Van Houten almond chocolates and one packet of Andes Mint Choc to bake 2 trays of cookies.

We tried to follow the recipe but made 2 small mistakes nia.

1. Did not add in enough butter cause not enough stock
2. Temperature of oven not high enough to match required temperature, difference of 80degree celcius

And cookies turned out one normal and one burnt.

And we ta bao some for our family to try and comments were:

Its super SWEET lor.

My drawing as sweet as the cookies la.

I used water colour pencil to draw this Mario Kart game de Kinopio Mushroom Head on a small piece of A5 paper.

P/S:

I think Taiwan is most probably confirm on 2 Aug.

This Monday I'm going to play jackpot.

swimming

2008-06-10T22:56:00.009+08:00

Bought myself a cheap watch for NS at 18 dollars. Its the same model that I had when I was in primary school. And I used it to time my "swimming speed".

Freestyle clocked at:

46 seconds for 50metres

1 minute 40 seconds for 100 metres

Not very fast and I compared my timing with Singapore's record.

22.69 seconds for 50 metres

51.00 seconds for 100 metres

Half of their speed la. Can't even compare.

Massive Jam

2008-06-08T12:29:00.004+08:00

I was stuck in jam on BKE towards woodlands checkpoint for 3 long hours yesterday. The cars were all moving like snail and there were people (the passengers, not possible the driver) who got off the car and walk to Mcdonald's, which I dunno where is it, to buy dinner. I was stucked there from 345 to 645pm la.

Fortunately still got Tau Sa Pia to eat on car lor.

And for next week, I have to help at Kohaku Koi House. Which means traveling to and fro Malaysia and praying that I won't be stuck in a jam and also praying doubly hard that I will be safe. I think it's pretty dangerous for a Singapore car to roam in Malaysia now la. Scarly they suddenly not happy and overturn my car.

Like this:

Pictures

2008-06-05T21:20:00.007+08:00

Another week just pass, time flies so fast la.

Here's what I did in the past week:

Bought even more sweets/chocolates/crackers/jelly for my tuition kid. I've decided to up the number of stars he needs to get to exchange for one of the goodies cause he keeps asking for more xing xing for whatever things he do/read/write and the smart boy always choose those big big ones so that he can eat more and become a fatty boom boom.

Not only is he learning from me, I learnt super simple Korean from him as well. Numbers from him (I still can't memorise yet) and Welcome/Thank you/Goodbye from his grandma.

And also, a kiddy primary school kid way of calling another person a liar.

Here's the lyrics:

Liar liar chase the fire

Mother give you one dollar

Go and buy your________(whatever you want to fill it with and he fills it up with underwear most of the time)

Btw, I'm seeing him 5 days a week for this June school holidays in the morning. His mother damn rich lor, she's paying a total of 5 tuition teachers for her 2 kids la.

Enough of him,

******

I borrowed a few books from the library. This is the 1st time I borrowed books from the Singapore Chain of Libraries. You just have to use your I/C to borrow books (most of you should know). When I used my I/C to borrow, the borrowing machine rejected lor and I went to the counter to ask the auntie. And she laughed lor....... She asked me:"First time borrow books ar."

Blushed.

And also to kill my excessively excess time, I went artfriend to buy more art stuff to do. This is some engraving art, $8 plus. I chose panda because KONGFU PANDA. =)

This thing is quite simple to do, just use the scraper to scrap off the black layer and it will reveal the silverish layer. And they have markings for us to see where to scrap off. Its like for kids.

And I did only the head nia...

I bought myself a colourful pants which I like it very much. Its like different cloth patches sewed together, old pattern pattern.

And the price is slashed from RM99 to Rm49.

And Trunks and Goggles for I decided to swim for a fitter me =) and to get a silver for my Napfa. I know I should run instead of swim but swimming is much easier la. Don't need to sweat and pant so much and I've weekly running sessions at Punggol park with the NSFs but run 2 rounds already very chuan.

I need to improve my pull-ups and 2.4 and I will get SILVER.

And I use this bear as my key chain.

Lastly, I think I'm going Taiwan end August.

Graduation

2008-05-22T12:58:00.005+08:00

Yesterday was graduation day and here are the pictures taken by my old 3 megapixel DIGITAL CAMERA (not phone AR). They still look quite good I think.

Thats my turn to be on stage to receive my cert and shake hands with the principal and pose for photo-taking. Think he shook hands, took photos with like 400 plus people. WONDERFUL experience, don't you think so? And he has to do it for 3 more days. =)

A take with the buggy with my mom

& Brenda

Nows with Jiamin

Jolyn...

Eileen...

And a happy nice group photo but without SHULAY lor...

And lots more of my mom and I. She said she want to come because she wants to take photo cause long time no take le. So we took.

I've graduated and I'm now an Army-boy-to-be. -Laughs-

another boring post

2008-05-15T10:40:00.006+08:00

I've been having a problem with Imeem. The player plays a song for 5 seconds, pause for 3 seconds and lets you listen for another 5 seconds and pauses again and this thing goes on and on. It is the most irritating way of listening to music la.

And I did this for mother's day:

Sent for an A4 print and framed it up. =)

Koi House Stayover

2008-05-02T23:31:00.006+08:00

An overview of the place:

Kois live in these concrete ponds, big and small ones and their neighbours the flys, mosquitoes and spiders . . .

And I'm staying with them as well, not that peacefully. I've killed about 3 mosquitoes, 2 spiders.

GUESS GUESS GUESS whats in the cage?

Kois

And the fat ones

Usually the fat female ones win the trophys (pardon the spelling error)

NS

2008-04-27T22:27:00.002+08:00

I received my NS letter and it states that I'll be enlisting on the 12 of September. Its finally coming and like what I predicted, I've started running again upon receiving the letter. To run more in a bid to suffer less in the army, in a bid to lose some weight and not classified under the "fatty can't get a silver in Napfa test" category.

Am I going to complain tons of it like what some of friends said?

I only have one main concern; that is, if my Urinary Tract Infection Symptom (Urine with blood) is still lingering within me. If it is, then I'll be downgraded to Pes E? It is not something that I want, but my body is really not quite good. I'll test-run and see if I will kana the sickness by running for a few consecutive days. This weird thingy apparently comes when I run for like 3 consecutive days at 5am in the past.

And I've a friend who's enlisting with me on the same day, same time. At least, I know there's a friend in my company. Probably, same platoon or bunk mate. =)

Out of the whole issue about enlistment, I'm now staying at my Dad's Koi retail outlet for these 2 days with him in Malaysia. It's like I'm on a holiday tour. Eat, Shop and stay in a unfamiliar place. Though not of hotel-class la.

Dad's going to use the com, see ya.

SOrry

2008-04-23T23:29:00.001+08:00

I admit I'm quite blind.

I only saw Jiamin's answer and not Brenda's.

Sorry, sorry!!

shu lay,jm,mx, sam,

2008-04-23T23:10:00.003+08:00

I had an outing yesterday with Year 2 project mates. I think they are very good project mates. Not those that will score super good grades for project work but those who are easy going and I enjoy being with. We met for dinner at Marina Square and I was happy (Sam was also, I think) that we had a SIA air stewardess to-be to have dinner together.

She is shhhoooo pretty.

I'm regretful that we didn't take pictures. Usually, someone will initiate to take photos la, but that someone never. But nevertheless, I was in glasses; I think I'm ugly in glasses which I thought otherwise last time.

After dinner, we chatted at various places.
1. Along the river near Empress place
2. Near the Merlion statue
3. Starbucks Cafe near Fullerton Hotel

And we used Fullerton Hotel's Toilet. =)

In the Hotel there were many Kois in the hotel's pond. And they are all so discoloured lor. My dad's Kois are much nicer. Saying that, he mentioned to me just now that I was to help at his retail outlet from 29April to 2May because he is going to JAPAN to buy kois and he is not bringing me along lor. Instead, he plan to bring my mom and I to China. Not Japan . . .

Mx,Jm,Sam, Shu Lay Outing

2008-04-23T00:16:00.002+08:00

Meanwhile I'm waiting for my mum to finish her bath so that I can bathe after a long day out. I'm feeling so sticky now.

Why do I have to wait for her to finish leh?
a) House got only one toilet
b) Water for both bathrooms will be hot
c) To conserve water

Answer is pretty obvious and its B. I can't bathe with a hot and slow supply of water lor, so irritating. Btw, there's a Question that I post last time, and the answer is C. You're right Jiamin. At least got one person to answer lor and she got it right. =)

At this point of time,

My mum's outta her bathroom.

I'm going to bathe.

Bye bye

happy vs unhappy

2008-04-20T15:56:00.003+08:00

My Star System failed and now he's unhappy.

But we are HAPPY! Whaha =)

Tuition

2008-04-18T17:30:00.004+08:00

I've take up tuition as a part-time job. Currently, I have a 8 year old Korean student and Im teaching him Chinese. Though I'm well equipped with an A1 for Chinese, it is still very hard lor. Therefore I've come up with a "Star System".

This system works in such a way that I will award stars to my student for reasons such as good behaviour, good homework or a display of exceptional smart behaviour(which allows him to earn 10 fat stars at a go though rarely). Once he accumulates a certain number of stars he will get......

SWEETS/CHOCOLATES
Initially I offered him stickers (got tons of them with me since I like to collect stickers when I WAS YOUNG), but he isn't interested.

Get an A for Chinese, he will get this Heavenly Tin of Fruit Drops, which I think is quite impossible. This product is not redeemable with stars.

Bought these from Candy Empire recently, like 2 days ago. The small packet of gummies, those bear and cola gummies cost 40 Stars each, Burger costs 30 Stars while Choc Gold Coin costs 20 Stars each.

And these superbly colourful candies at 50 Stars each.

After 8 lessons, his Chinese improved!! not tremendously but with improvement. BUT, he is so relying on stars now. Whenever I gave him a exercise, he will ask me how many STARS... Realistic la. And moreover, he keep reminding me of his BIRTHDAY, MAY 9, which is coming...

I've decided to do some more drawing to kill time. Enlistment letter they don't want to send me, University admission letter also don't want to send me... I'm drawing my class photo of 41 people in pen on A3 paper.

SEE -->

Some look so ugly and here is a guessing game for whoever who still visits my blog.

research paper

2008-02-03T22:30:00.000+08:00

Writing research paper proved to be tough. I spent 5 hours today and only did an intro and wonder if im going on the right track. I dont want to spend my CNY doing homework.

yakking

2008-02-02T15:50:00.000+08:00

Ive changed my Napfa test date to 15 Feb in the hope of training up in this short period of time. Im quite fearful not being able to do the pull ups and 2.4km run. So its swim, run and do research paper before CNY.

I have quite a few thoughts on my research topic and till now, I know 3 people who are doing the same topic as me. Its good to know that they shared pointers selflessly and discussed openly. Unlike some who are like kia see folks who are scared that their ideas will be stolen and be deprieved of that A grade that they think they deserve to get. I've done my research and gone site visits and will be starting to write the paper tomorrow which I PROCRASTINATE SINCE Thursday.

Not achieving much during these few days.... ZZZZzzzzzz..... I played mahjong yesterday and I thought was a lucky one. I managed to reduce my losses from 68 to 3 dollars.

When playing mahjong, there are 2 sides of me. 1. keep quiet and sort of like L and play my game calmly, composely. 2. make lots of noise and keep on shouting for the cards that I want such as McChicken (chicken), Lao Hu Lao Shu sha sha fen bu qing chu (Rat), Cat and Centipede and occasionally planting seeds on the people that are waiting for Ping Hu.

Went back to school yesterday as well... Went to the career fair and got brochures on the different Uni courses. And its demoralising to know that GPA is the main main MAIN factor to determine if you are eligible for that certain course. Im still not too sure of what I want to be in future and what I want to study but meanwhile, its Business at NTU but its quite popular and chances are slim.

AND I finally drove the car on my own twice. Not that scary but still a little nervous. 1. from house to school and 2. from house to Suntec. Driving still remains as a fun to do activity, but guess the passion to drive will die down after like a few months>?? hope not.

Short Term goal now is to pass my Napfa and write a good research paper !!

Its Sunday and Im going to eat buffet later in the afternoon. Print my report and some more shopping for CNY. Though I've bought all the necessary stuff.

For this year, I bought only 4 pieces of clothes and its the most budget year for CNY clothings. Though I've been earning money from internship, it just runs out quickerly. Most of it was spent on food and I just remembered, PEOPLE WHO OWE ME MONEY PLS!!!! O$P$

Aunties with different shapes and sizes that doesnt look like going gym and keeping fit kept talking about gym stuff and signing up membership at gyms. More of it to look at uncles, WEIRD Aunties la, want to act act ar. Just shows how good are they at bullshiting.

My napfa test ar Think I'll Fail la.... Aunties lend me your gym membership.... =)

Last day of internship

2008-01-25T09:41:00.000+08:00

Today's the last day of internship and im filled with mixed feelings. I've been wanting to get over it quickly but yet, I dont feel the joy of ending this internship.

It just doesn't seem very right.

Maybe its because, I dont really hate the company and people that much and neither do I miss them and love them that much. Its a kind of indifferent feeling. But at least I typed this blog post using the computer which I had been using for the past 5 months. =)

Last day = getting my salary, getting my appraisal done, giving out presents to thank my supervisors, saying goodbye to people and bringing my stuff back home.

I'll probably want to buy a digital camera and save the rest as capital for CNY Mahjong sessions.

I think appraisal results will be bad cause I think I performed badly and I think my only strength is my strength la. As in the strength to help the gentle, demure office ladies to carry stuff here and there.

I drew an Eeyore for my supervisor and bought chocolates for them. I intiated to buy them lunch on the last day but they had appointments. So, I get to have more money to splurge on other things.

Had buffet breakfast catered by the company in the morning. And its 1020 now. The clock is moving super slowly... KIll my time = Kill my watch, some idiot told be that.

internship

2007-09-15T13:21:00.000+08:00

Just like almost every HTM blogger, I will write about my internship experience.

I started on the 3rd of september. Had only 2 days of holidays as my Calculus paper ended on the 1st of September. Gotten my examination results via SMS whilst in office. Was disappointed with 2 subjects. My GPA went up by 0.03 though. Let. It. Be. Let. It. Be.

1st week of work was rather bad. 2nd week was better but theres some essence of badness in it as well.

Major Happenings during the 1st week:

Had to design 6menus using Microsoft publisher (did.nt know how to use but was comfortable with it soon after). Menu items were given to us in English, had to translate to Mandarin. Had to write an article in Mandarin on Thai Cuisine. I guess design of the menus were considered as a hurdle. And moreover, the alighnment was super horrible for the colour printer. I had printed 100 plus papers to adjust for the alighnment.

Just as I was having problems with the menus, I encountered another major problem on Thursday morning. Uncontrollable bladder. Had gone to the toilet for like 10 times that morning. Then, we went to the coffee shop near starhub centre to have lunch and fear struck when I was in the toilet for prolly 11th time. Theres blood in my urine and I was in pain. Immediately, I wanted to see a doctor. But It was lunch hour. I had to wait. Meanwhile I had hot fish soup for lunch and apparently, the heat that the soup gave me cleared most of the pain. Therefore, I went to request for more hot soup from the stall lady. But she intended to charge me $3.50 for a bowl of soup with veggies. In the end, after some small commotion (it would've been bigger if I was not not feeling well but under normal circumstances, I wouldnt want to drink additional hot vegetable soup), they charged $2.50. Went to the doctor and she conclude that I should be suffering from Urinary Tract Infection and will do an Urine test to confirm. I paid 77 dollars. But it was worth it la.

Then in the evening, I still went singing at ChinaTown which is so so taxing on me. But luckily when I woke up on Friday, I was feeling much better.

By the way, my boss brought us (Me and Victoria Chng) out to meet clients twice during the 1st week. It was an eye opener. We went to see Swissotel The Stamford and Swissotel Merchant Court, Sales manager to let them know about our requirements as we will be hosting our guests at their hotels. Went around both hotels to take a look at their rooms, suites and F&B outlets. Its an experience we can only get during internship, definitely not in school.

Went JB on Sunday and did some shopping at a Vivocity equilavent shopping mall, Jusco. But did not buy anything. My eyes got hooked on a CK Jeans white shirt though. 289Rm. Ha. We'll see if I'll buy.

Major Happenings during the 2nd week:

Our guests arrived on Monday and prior to their arrival, we did a room check. Our Job is to make sure their accommodation, logestics and F&B is taken care sui sui. Then we also usher and communicate with them. They will be here till Saturday.

One significant event was the the visit to PSA. We had a tour of the new PSA port which is restricted and requires security clearance. And it was very interesting.

Another new batch of delegates will be here next week. Busy busy.

Meet me up for more interesting stories and juicy bits

intern start of it.

2007-09-04T20:59:00.000+08:00

Im not really very very busy.

But all my weekdays are just on work. Get up early, go to office, do your work, lunch and meetings then go home. Dinner. Then till bout 9pm, my eyes will be very heavy. Bathe then sleep. Its not like you'll have to bring work home to do la. Its kinda the typical weekday for me for 5 months, i guess. But its quite nice. And in the weeks to come, it'll be exciting. We get to travel here and there instead of coping in the office.

By the way, I've only completed 2 days of internship. Ha.

See you all soon!!

Off to get my rest :)

teachers day 2007-exams year 3 over

2007-09-02T09:56:00.000+08:00

A warmed Heart on Teachers Day Eve
Before calculus exams, I went to my sec school because of Teachers day. As I stepped into the school, I recognise the familiar smell. Its not really pleasant, but its familiar. Walked to the benches outside teachers' room. Sat down and waited a while before I see familiar faces. Rather crowded and some teachers are just so popular. Waited and finally, 2 teachers that taught me before, came over. Talked for about an hour.

Then we were talking about relief teachers. I think I'll work as a relief teacher when I graduate from Temasek Poly while waiting for enlistment. So how do you actually prove that you are capable of being one? My teacher replied:"I'll recommend you and that'll do." And as I was leaving, (they knew that I am having an exam soon after that) I said:"Miss Choy, why didnt you wish me luck?" She replied:"You exams where got depend on luck."

Im not here to sort of "hao lian" la, but its the heart warming part I want to share with you all. Being back in school, the feeling is nice. I have lots of memories there. Being at least to Reminisce is great. My school will be demolish by 2010 and they'll build a new one.

And one day, I'll visit my primary school teachers.

Happy Teachers Day to: Clare Choy, Lee Poh Lin, Anne Quek, Wu Tian Hwee

Exams over and I have 2 days of holidays before internship starts
For my last paper, the one on calculus, I've discovered that I had 6 marks deducted so far. The following 2 paragraphs is dedicated for Mary and Mx. I'll share with the both of you the mistakes that I made.

There is this 3 marks question on limits. My answer is 1. As I thought infinity divided by infinity is 1. But note that it is, 6infinity divided by 2infinity. Therefore the answer should be 3. (the 1's are neglected cause infinity is in place)

Another 3 mark question on logistics curve. I think it is question 4, last part. This question actually tricked me. When I was reading the paper during the 10 minutes reading time and when I saw the question, I knew that it was a logistics curve but when I was doing the first 3 parts, they only require us to do differentiation and substituition. Therefore, it didnt occur to me that we need to apply logistics curve formulas for the last part. They asked for the rate of change at the maximum. It is actually at the point of inflection. But I put infinity as my answer. Dumb!!

Preparing for Work
Cut my hair. Shorter and thinner on the back, sides thinner so it'll be "stickier" to the head, fringe remained with only some minor touch-ups. I am ready to work. But come to think of work, I will have to wear shirts everyday. And though I have quite a number of shirts(my cousin passed them to me), they dont quite fit me. And hence Im only left with a few choices.

By the way, Do you all think I'll have my own workplace?

That'll be nice :)

Happy Holidays

exams are coming and the stress is building up

2007-08-23T13:05:00.000+08:00

Disclaimer: This is solely my own personal view and I am not out to and am in no position to criticise any education system. (I am just a student). I just hope that improvements can be made. I feel that improvements can still be made even when one is already the best.
______________________________________________________

Hello.

Since we are in the spirit of doing self-reflections (though its some time ago), I will do reflection paper 8 :)

Reflection Paper 8

Introduction
Something inspired me to write. Some teachers, not all, are just so biased. And I think this is the first time I was the victim of the biased teacher, instead being the one that gets the slight advantage over others. Now I clearly understand how others felt when teachers treated them unfairly.

When you are the one that teachers like, you will not have the slightest thought that because teachers like you, you have an edge over others. In fact, in lots of situation. Quality of homework, project grades and attendance.

I'll share with you a situation on atttendence (aeons years ago). Theres this situation at the last tutorial, one of the favourite pet student was not present and I think his attendance barely meet the minimum criteria and the teacher smartly said:" Since this is the last tutorial, I'll make easy for your life. For those who are late, I'll mark you all as present. However no exception for other classes. (He was hoping that his pet student would come and he can still mark him as present) But he didnt attend the tutorial at all, its a short one though. Ouch.!! Pain felt in the chest. But maybe, I said maybe, the teacher may mark his attendance. I dunno. But its possible.

What I have learnt
I have learnt from this semester that all teachers are bias. It is the degree of biasness that makes them different. It is acceptable for teachers to be slightly bias. They are humans with feelings and I clearly understand that, feelings may at times, interfere work.

Base on this learning point, as long as I have put in adequate effort in my work, I will be satisfied with myself. Though I value Grades much (Local universities only accept students with an average score of B+ for all subjects) and wish to get in a local U. I will just let it be. I can't influence my teachers. AND i wont bootlick and act friendly with them. Thats just so not me. My current grade is between a B and B+. So I will have to work very hard to get to B+.

I have also learnt to understand the feelings of students whom were biased against. The feeling is bad. You put in that much effort but you get meagre returns. Thats inequitable hence de-motivates them. Do you see I am applying the expectancy theory? Low P-O.

Questions that I have
What are some of the ways or controls schools put in place to minimise teachers' biasness? If current practices are ineffective, suggest.

Should the character of teachers be examined thoroughly before they are employed to "mould the future" of Singapore? And what are the ways to achieve accurate results?

Conclusion
In conclusion, I feel that cross checks/marking should be put in place to standardise grading. I know that examinations have a few levels of markers to ensure all students are fairly and appropraitely graded based on a single standard. However, projects are often left to a single teacher. Should we include a panel of teachers to grade students' project work? Some may find it time consuming, especially those doing the double work. However, think back, meritocracy is valued by the Singapore government. Is meritocracy valid when the schools' grading criteria are biased and unfair?

room and hg mall

2007-08-19T17:40:00.000+08:00

I had spent 2 hours cleaning and tidying up my room and now, it looks sleek (if you can comprehend my meaning) and empty. On my 1.2m by 0.6m study table, sits only a "orange juice" lava lamp and sony ericsson speaker cum charger. And, Ive gotten all the neccessary examination notes all done up nicely in different folders. I shall start revising tomorrow. 3 papers this semester and I'll try hard to score well.

Remember an earlier post last month about the drawing that looks like Professor Umbridge? It will be exhibited in Temasek Polytechnic's library next month for a month. Its been a long time since I have any "guang rong stuff". It stopped during my polytechnic years. At least, finally, something to be proud of :) try to take a look.

And I discovered a good lipbalm recently. Neutrogena Lip Moisturizer, selling at $6 plus. It is effective unlike some other brands that er, start with M, or the E one and a plus point; it is relatively cheap. The shell of the lipbalm is white with a blue collar which makes it perfectly suitable for guys.
Ya, you dont see me applying lipbalm cause in the past, I thought that it was rather "ugly and unmanly" for guys to erhem, apply lipbalm. But its ok, I'm not going the "man" lu xian. Whaha.

Driving lessons on Tuesday and Thursday. Looking forward to learn parking and I would've learn everything about driving. Test date on 29 Sep, still a bit far, but I'm yearning to drive. Then everyday, for maybe a month before the "exciting about car driving" feeling dies down, I will be Happy. And good luck to mingxian. Maybe you want to go Si Ma Lu and pray first before going for the test!

I went Hougang Mall today and caught Patricia Mok and Bryan Wong. They were hosting a family camp thing. I stood there watching them for 1.5 hours. Quite nice to look at artistes off screen and I won a scoop of gelaré ice cream from them.

no tiltle in particular

2007-08-16T18:05:00.001+08:00

I had my tongue burnt when I tried to sip some very hot latté. It's just like dipping fruits into a chocolate fondue, I dipped my tongue into the coffee. Scalded. And its peeling. But I guess after a few days, I'll have a new tongue :)

And ill be catching the movie, 881 later with my family. And I mentioned that I will treat them and the numbers grew from 4 ppl to maybe 8. Opps. So i guess we'll go dutch.

As for the OverseasStudentInternshipProgram people, I cant send you all off. Its so early and im working(excuse). But I hope that you all will have the learning spirit with you when you are there and be strong ya. 5 months away from home, for myself, I dont think I can make it. And happy birthday, Jiamin.

This is my final artwork. Enjoy :)

after projects.

2007-08-11T11:17:00.001+08:00

Free and freed
I am rather free and bored now that projects and school assignments are over. Looking forward to internship on the 3rd of September, but I will have to sit for examinations first. They are not exactly that fearful, but it is the tiring process where I'll have to study. Though knowledge makes me a better person.

Im finally going for driving lessons again after a long month break. And im waiting. Its only 1130. 3 more hours before I drive.

Time Flies (cliché)

Driving
Its now Monday. My driving lesson was nice and an accident nearly happened. It was at a 2 direction 2 laned (that is to say 1 lane for 1 direction) crampy alley with a single continuous white line in the centre. And moreover, there were cars parked on the lane that I was traveling, so I had to pass the divider and drove in an against traffic flow manner which was quite dangerous. However, the almost accident was not with the cars from the opposite direction. There was this cab in front of me alighted a passenger and while I was driving past him, his "car head" came out, nearly banged onto us. (avoided because of my fast reflex action, just giving some credits lah)

In contrast, the instructor was asking me about emergency brake and if I had practised before. I did that before and was able to explain to him. The emergency brake has to be executed, when the instructor hit the front part of the car and you will have to brake immediately. Very very long after he asked about the emergency brake, he tapped the front part and still I continued driving and only 2 seconds later had I realised I had to brake.

Magazines
I went to buy some Taiwan Magazines and they are nice. Full of pictures-clothes, shoes everything, nice looking people in nice looking outfits and Im sure that there is a lot of information just that its a bit hard to read Chinese.

9 august national day

2007-08-10T20:36:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was National Day and my dad's and his brother's birthday as well. 27 family members from my dad's side celebrated their birthday over a buffet lunch. The whole lunch last for about 4 hours, maybe eating for 2 hours and the other half chit chattering.

After lunch, walked around Orchard to do some window shopping and there were lots of discount everywhere. And there was a good deal at G2000. $23 for a shirt. I thought it was really wow! Looked around and found that their shirts were quite nice looking and the cutting is more suitable for younger adults instead of the airy airy type where departmental store brands offer. But I didnt wanted to spend money. And moreover I wore 2 layers which made it a little bit harder to try on the clothes. So I didnt get it. One customer at G2000 even approached me for help. He thought I was the sales guy. Ouch? Maybe its ok. Nothing hurting. Really.

Watched the live telecast of National Day Parade at home. I like the parades and marches, they look real smart and cool. I hope that i'll have that kind of opportunity during my NS years. I like the orchestra and the singing of national day songs. The songs and music stirred some emotions within me, but not to the extent of crying. I think I should attend concerts at esplanade soon. I really like music. And while typing this post, Im listening to a playlist of National day songs on imeem. Maybe the patriotism in me will die down in a few days time and rekindle next year. But I would like to say I like Singapore. Lastly, I like the fireworks as well. Stunning Display. A great NDP and not forgetting," Happy Birthday, Dad".

art pieces

2007-08-07T11:14:00.000+08:00

I have some more drawings to share. Some are assignments from my free hand drawing class and the rest are done during my spare time.

A plant drawing

Pandan leaf plant

Yusof Ishak

I drew from the $20 note that was issued recently

Big-Small eye but i think you still know its him ba

Drew from a magazaine

Cousin Brandon

And myself

Tiger
The most impressive among the pieces, i guess

For the tiger drawing, the teacher asked which pencil grade i had used for the very black part. I replied saying that I used 8B pencil. He was kind of amazed and didnt believe that 8B grade pencil exist. So, he asked me to show him. For a moment, I was surprised and taken aback by his amazement filled expression and I thought that I had said something wrong. I thought if I had said the alphabet (B of the 8B) wrongly. I showed him the pencil.

"So he didnt know that 8B grade pencil exists"

Pencil Grades

For those who are puzzled about grades of pencil. Pencils that people use to draw are in various grades. Generally, theres a number and a alphabet component to make up the grade. Eg. 2B, 6H, with the exception of HB. From darkest to lightest, 8B-6B-4B-2B-HB-2H-4H-6H (not an exhaustive list). For B grade pencil, the higher the number the softer it is therefore it will be darker as more carbon will be mark on the paper when used while H grade pencil, the higher the number the harder it is therefore it will be lighter.

Alligators

And those who cannot differentiate between crocodile and Lacoste logo. I was told recently that the logo of the alligator of the crocodile brand faces to the left while a Lacoste logo faces to the right.

Information

Some information about myself; I like books that are filled with pictures instead of words. Eg. Magazines, pictorials, illustrations. I like the colours black and white. Previously I only liked white, but now black is another of my favourite colour. I like to visit stationery shops and book shops. Not Popular but Kinokuniya. I value the appropraite grammer in everyday writing and speaking. I am looking forward to internship, wanting to experience working, want to get my paycheck and splurge on shopping and its cool to work at a cool office.

Thats all :)

Mary, I can also draw :)
Doesnt she look a bit like Umbridge from Harry Potter? If she is a bit fatter.

HellloOOooOO

Im now in the computer lab waiting for my teammates to rehearse for our presentation.
Half an hour passed. And we're still waiting for the last one :)

Before i forget, someone had just passed me a brochure on "You Are Special! - All About Self Esteem". Seriously, do i look like i have self esteem problems?? huh, Huh! HUHH!!! As I was typing this, the person beside me told me: " You look like you have very high self esteem de lo"
Not really through though.

Its been a long time since ive drive and i miss it. I miss looking at blindspots and lane change by overtaking other cars. My next lesson is in August and I still have to wait.

And I realised that ive yet to take pictures for a long time after posting the so-outdated pictures.

I feel that im gifted, er hem, in drawing human portraits. They look just so alike, alive.

Good nite.

harry potter number 5

2007-07-15T12:19:00.000+08:00

Ive watched Harry Potter at Lido 1. I think it is the biggest cinema that I went before. And i finally realise the difference between digital movie shows and non digital ones. You know those irritating flickering black little spots that appear on and off during the show, you dont get it at digital movie shows. And the sound at the cinema was great as well, it is one of the most enjoyed movie I had. And I had been thinking, its an Unparalled experience for me. I liked Umbridge particularly, I think shes got style. And I felt that Dumbledore was not fat enough. He looked pretty haggard and slim for a great wizard.

Ive been reading the book version of the movie, completed till about 100 plus pages, the part where Umbridge arrived at Hogwarts. But did not go any further, as I can't really read books. Reading them makes me a bit sleepy. I shall continue reading the book and finish it. The movie was awesome and reading gives me a better command of English. Talking about books, I borrowed 5 books from the library on Friday. "reading makes you sleepy and youre borrowing books, collecting dust at home." I borrowed design/art/illustration books. Books with lots of pictures. I feel that im in the wrong course now.

And i went to pay library fines as well. I went to the counter and said I wanted to pay my fines. The lady scanned my card and replied that I had accumulated a total of $1.80 of fines. Just at the moment, i realised that my wallet is empty. ooppps. "You dont have the money and yet you are walking up to the counter saying you want to pay FINES"

In my bag, there is a stash that contains one dollar coins for pool playing at school. That is heng for me. If not I would be so embarrassed.

Talking about embarrassment. There was this day when i boarded the bus, listening to my music and scanned the Ez link card and walked to the rear and sit comfortably. It was a double decker. And moments after all the people had boarded the bus. I was thinking why the bus was not moving. And I saw the bus uncle coming out and apparently, he is talking in my direction. ooppps, my card was of negative value and so had to pay cash. Wah. Its so not not nice. Im wondering if the uncle was like shouting or calling for me when i walked to the rear. And will he come up to the upper deck to find me if I proceeded to the upper deck.

project

2007-07-10T18:18:00.000+08:00

Im sort of down with a scheduled eye infection. It happened around 5 to 6 pm in the evening for both Monday and Tuesday. Had to remove the contacts and then gradually, the itchyness stops. Will see for Wednesday. Probably the infection was due to prolong wearing of contacts cos lessons for Monday and Tuesday started at 9am and lasted till around 4. Which is like 10 hours by evening. Eyes, nothing must happen to the both of you. RECOVER.

Im doing the design part of the thumbdrive product that our group wanted to come up with for the business entreprise subject. One of our unique selling point is the design of the thumbdrive and ive been busy designing. And our team has decided to go with Nbox as the name of our hipier USB storage that targets students. Why Nbox? The N can be read as Ant or End. Ant = small with means it is small while End refers that this is going to be your last thumbdrive cause you wont lose it easily with the security features and most importantly it is durable which includes reliable data transfer and is able to sustain crushforce of 3000 pounds and below.

I've been quite enthusiastic bout it. And have given quite a few thought, producing some ideas which i think was creative, out of the box and people in my group quite oppose with my ideas. Maybe its not feasible, its ok for me. But something mattered, I was enthusiastic and people poured some cold water on me. I wanted to make it a good one. And there was this kind of response that I could read from people's brain though it was not mentioned out. "This is a Business Entreprise project, think do not need to focus so much on the design aspect ba." I'll still continue to be passionate in my design. Maybe teachers also dont appreciate that, but ive put in my big big effort in it.

And one more thing that I wish to say, I do give a lot of ideas during project discussions and many of them were rejected. Especially this semester. Im ok with the rejection, though it maybe a bit hard to swallow. But I had swallowed, with minimal hard feelings. Since my ideas were rejected, when they were rejected maybe you all should have other ideas. But there were like none. And when no one could think of any idea, my rejected idea was put back in place to use again. I dont like substituition.

Groupmates reading this, no hard feelings.

Here's my design of our Nbox logo

And the graphics that i have come out with:

For the launch of Nbox, there will be 3 series of Nbox Skins

1. The Japonaise - inspired by the elegance of japanese kimono ladies targeting corporate ladies

2. Graphic Printables - a hip, non-conventional thought evoking series

3. ShoutOuts - words that convey messages, Eg. Im bitchy with days ending with Y's. (soon to be done)

Had lunch at my school's training restaurant THE TABLE TOP today. Food and service was good. But you'll have to book in advance, 67806369 to have lunch there. Set menu at $10. Nice ambience and most importantly, it is run by HTM students.

And had a nice moment today, that brightens my day. A teacher was asking if I was going on Overseas internship, and No, I wasnt going. And she named one of the HTM student and said that you know that person, ya, hes going overseas. Its good experience and you'll learn alot of things when youre alone there. Away from your friends and families and familiar surroundings. And I said hes good what. So Overseas can train him to be an even better person.

What made my day was,
And the teacher replied that youre also good what.

Maybe some of you might, chey. Do you? :) Just sharing with you all.

Then went for my tutorial class. And received another piece of good news. I had gotten back a nice test result. Woohoooo, hard work does pays off, at times.

Again, some of you might think, haolian lo. Do you? :) I was thinking if some of the people reading my blog will think that way. But really nice friends will feel happy for me instead of you know... Recently ive been trying to anticipate how my friends will react to my actions or words. So, im trying to reduce conflict between me and my friends. Not saying that we have lots of conflicts. But it is an effort on my part. Friends, read this and you'll be somehow touched. Maybe, you will? or wont. And it applies to families as well.

With these 2 nice things that happened within an hour. Today has been a great day.

On, Tuesday, I went for project consultation, and 2 lectures. One of the lecture, i went alone, crashing another diploma's lecture timeslot. Saw a few other HTM students there as well. And what was remarkable was that I overheard someone in front of me, able to identify each of us as HTM students. Thats so smart of him. And its kind of wrong for us to crash ppl's lecture as it resulted in a lack of seats for the people who was supposed to go for the lecture at that time slot.

And recently, I discovered that carrying a baby can give you muscleaches.

Swam 30 laps in the evening. Usual routine should be 40 but yesterday was like tired. Felt like sleeping at the pool. Its been a long time haven been to swimming lately and even a long long longer time been to running.

And for 2 days, ive been having very good nightsleeps.

More updates soon!!

2 week hols in 2007 june

Have been taking driving lessons. The lessons were fun and driving an AUTO car is simple. Though the lessons are quite simple, it makes me turn my neck left and right to somehow an extreme angle to check for blindspots. Nevertheless it is still fun. Will be having 200 minutes of driving fun this afternoon. And ive passed my Final Theory and hence ive gotten my practical test date, 29 Sep 2007. Grandma says that I should go Guan Yin Temple to pray before I take my test. I can finally drive soon.

Yesterday went to watch movie at marina sq. Dinner at the open air area of the food court. Talked quite a bit. 6 of us. 1 left for home, then the rest went to the arcade. And we raced cars, Daytona's beginner course. Btw, what constitudes a immediate failure during your practical test? Failing to stop at the stop line and crossing over the double white lines. And the 150 bucks which you paid for your test is gone. crappy. And i saw 2 htm people at citylink. Both were actually my classmates from art class.

Had project meeting in school the day before yesterday. It is a productive one. And ive actually volunteered to do market research and the marketing aspect of the project. VOLUNTEERED. I was quite passionate bout doing marketing stuff at that point of time but i guessed the passion died down somehow today. But still, I'll still try to do a good job out of it. Had pork special for lunch at the school's canteen. 4 dollars, is a bit expensive at the school's level. But it was nice. The dish had about 6 pieces of breaded pork loin dressed with cheddar cheese and thick brown sauce topped with jalepenos accompanied with the normal western set meal sides. Went swimming in the evening, completed 30 laps but spent about 2 hours at the pool. As we were talking and swimming at a 2laps rest 5 minutes kind of pace. I finally timed my best speed for a lap. And its 40 seconds. Then had dinner at AMK hub with my family. Day ends.

Going for car driving now, See you'all soon.

Q1. Went for an interview with CAAS. I wore a shirt, pants and leather shoes. The others wore blazers and ties. They were so formal that I seemed rather informal. The perception error that is likely to happen in the interview:

a) Fundamental attribution error
b) Contrast effect
c) Halo effect

Q2. There is one specific activity that most uncles and aunties enjoy with the government. This activity can also be considered as a hobby. This hobby has this miraculous ability to turn money into paper.

I discovered

One lame joke about organisational behaviour

There are 3 needs theory and they are Maslows, McClellands and Alderfers.

Maslow and Alderfer state that humans have inherant needs. While McClelland argued that needs are only arise when learning has taken place. Why? Why of all things learning?

It is because:

im back home

2007-06-04T11:05:00.000+08:00

Im back at home after the calculus test.

My calculus teacher is forcing me to use his method that he taught instead of the unorthodox method (he gave me the feeling that my method is the 2nd class method) that my sec teacher taught me. And he said that his method is better as it is applicable to all functions while mine has its limitations.

Ya, he is right and he has proven it in his test paper.

At least he knows how to set the paper to test students.

and holidays are coming in less then 28 hours.

2007-06-04T07:44:00.000+08:00

Im early today. Test this morning and another tmr. Have been really unproductive this weekend. Was procrastinating studying for my tuesday test. I think for me, I will only study when the urgency comes, unlike the hardworking me in the past. Which means im studying it only after this morning's test.

Good Luck - score 100marks, Calculus Students.

orchestra vids

2007-06-02T17:24:00.000+08:00

Orchestras for Pirates, FF7, FF8 and FF10

Orchestras are amazing, they tend to bring you to a certain level and let you fall and how you wished life was just smooth-sailing. Its always touching if you personally like and know the piece that they are playing. isnt it? And we should visit esplanade more often.

Pirates of the Carribean gutsy theme song, liked the middle part most. Had watched part I and II, will be watching III soon.

This FF7 theme song always gave me headaches. While playing the game, cloud will have to wander around the world map. That is the part that gave me headache.

FF8 was played on computer and I had completed like maybe 6 times?

Had only played the final boss part. FF10, To Zanarkand

the day after vesak

2007-06-01T10:26:00.000+08:00

My artpiece of 101 views of the cap is finally done. The assignment requires us to draw 101 views of an object and all 101 views must be different. After an arduous journey of approximately 12 hours, i'll be submitting on tuesday.

Today is a sunny day. Normally, the sun shines quite brightly in the morning and tends to fade off in the afternoon as there are more clouds. But it rained heavily today.

Did my online quiz and copied more notes for Organizational behaviour. I used a drawing pen to write and it was spoilt after that.

Happy Vesak Day

2007-05-31T13:54:00.001+08:00

Its been a long time since i watch a movie. That day, I went to watch Next at MarinaSq. And the cinema was small, with a capacity of less than 80 i think. The seats were more comfortable and i realise that i enjoy watching movies more now as compared to the past.

These few days, i've been having weird dreams. I can remember 2 of them. The 1st one was a dream which I had enlisted with army. For BMT, you have to be at Tekong for the 1st 2 weeks, but in that dream, I had the opportunity to come back home every single day but will have to report at 530am at Tekong everyday. 2nd one, was about returning to secondary school. I had to study again at the secondary school to get better grades for certain O level subjects such as English and Humanities. And the duration of study is half a year.

And its been a week since i cut my hair. And today is vesak day. I had intended to cut my nails. But its vesak day. Legend says that, do not cut your nails at late nights or CNY or the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month. And speaking of nails, it reminded me of the 3 occasions that people actually asked me for nailclippers. Its really As if I have nailclippers with me.

Work is starting to pile. Project stuff, individual work, tests, quiz, reflections(dreaded most), artwork. Stress is building up. A calm heart and mind is needed to face stress. And im now lagging behind for Organizational Behaviour.

I managed to buy a birthday gift for Mr. Lim. And both of us lost money in mahjong. But he had won some money at the slots. Hes at least one of the top 16 in the asia under 21 snooker people. So cheer up. losing 4-3 is a waste and you were leading 2 nil. And to Mr. Koh, happy geng kanging at your BMT ar. You were'nt that sickly in the past. Nice acting skills, maybe? or is it for real? the 3 of us should go out more often. See you all soon.

I went shopping yesterday and the day before yesterday. Great Singapore Sales - the sales worth waiting for. But the stuff that i bought were not on sale. I bought a t-shirt and a pair of sneakers. And i intend to buy more when i receive my first salary from my internship company in October. Speaking of internship, my placement is yet to be confirmed.

project group

2007-05-05T12:21:00.000+08:00

Everybody is now blogging about how they hate projects and the sucky groupmates they have. So, this is the best time to read blogs and find out more about who hates who and get real of the HTM Year 3 cohort.

Blogs can like link so you can get really far to the extent to a friends, friends friend blog. You wouldn't know who will be reading yours now and maybe you'll be surprised how popular your blog is.

After reading several blogs, I can smell hatred in almost all of the blogs. Calling people names is not nice. Using a nick to address that person so as to create deception is so redundant, cause I know who they are talking about even though im not even the slightest friend to their clique.

Some even worse, they use real names and write so much bad things.

Bu dang jia, bu zhe chai mi gui = If youre not the house keeper, you wont know how costly rice and oil are. You wouldnt want people to write bad about you as well, rite? Spare a thought and grow up.

Im having a bad throat, after writing these stuff. (Serves me rite?) For those people who they think im referring to them. Dont be too self conscious. ya!

Continuation to the bookshop aunty story which i had posted on the previous post

I went to the ever so crowded bookshop today to buy my calculus text again.

YES!! ITS AGAIN!!

Its the 3rd time i went there to queue and be back empty handed. This time round, the aunty told me that the container have yet to open hence they have yet to receive any calculus books and she further emphasised that the container is really in singapore now and also said that she was not lying to me. Since, theres no books, that means no homework for me for calculus. You might be thinking im Yeahing! now, but much to your surprise, im not those kind of no homework do then happy de people. Im not so shallow, can? I like GinKo nuts cause im a Geeko! It rhymes! Maybe i should also start writing poems apart from drawing.

So, conscientious, diligent, hardworking me, you name it, I photocopied the questions with a friends friend where the book was borrowed from my friends friends friend.

Report books and acheivements

While preparing my resumé for my attachment, I went through my report books and certs and found out some very nice comments and acheivements I had. Shan't I write them here?

Yes, i should.

Dont deny that you wouldnt want to know

Being a big kaypoh

visiting my blog every now and then,

Im here to satisfy your needs, wants and desires

And your hunger for wanting to know ME better.

(Mildly Disguted, ppl may tell me that they shall stop visiting my blog, but dont fake lo)

In my primary 1-3 school years,

He is very helpful.
He is very responsible.
He is pleasant and polite.
A very well-behaved and responsible boy.
Johnathan has done well, keep up the good work.

Teachers think that kids dont really understand English well and hence kept their comments short and simple. In fact, they are lazy.

I'll proceed with the nicer words,

Johnathan is a promising pupil and it is a great joy teaching him.
Johnathan is an enthusiastic and highly motivated student who has maintained a high standard of performance.
Johnathan has the ingredients for success. (So sweet ya!)

I'll stop here. Being modest is a virtue. ya!.

Spectacles

I know my specs are nice, so Thank you for trying to copy me by making a pair of specs thats the same shape as mine, and same colour as well. What great honour!

Brown Meat

And today, there was a piece of delicous brown meat in front of me.

Delicous. Its just like the dog and the bone or meat story.

Random Advice

Friggly Friday with lots of rain. Bring your brollies along.

Random Story

We had calculus lecture on monday and were told to buy a 22 bucks calculus textbook from the bookshop. Being conscientious students, we tried to purchase the book immediately just after the lecture which ended at 6pm. But, it was out of stock. The lady there told us to come back on Friday cause new stocks will arrive.

Friday came and we went happily to get the calculus text, wanting badly to spend away some 22 bucks to get the long missed similar Amaths textbook that we liked it so much during the secondary days. On seeing a long queue, we decided to ask the lady if the book had arrived.

She replied, "oh calculus reach already, along with the other books in the same container, dont worry."

WHICH IS WHAT!!

She gave a dumb answer, "its in Singapore le, dont worry."

GO AND DIE!! (I was thinking only, Im not a rude boy)

what for i want to know whether its in Singapore or Malaysia, IF its not here then its not here. Aunties, arrggghhh. !!

Conversely, there are some aunties that are nice and not so dumb ones. I met 2 of them recently and apparently it seems that nice aunties are often found selling food.

Value-added employee

I had ordered starfruit juice and she asked if i would like to add watermelon to it so as to reduce the siab siab taste. In addition, she also suggested that adding salt would also be able to reduce the siab siab taste and furthermore reducing heatiness.

Making people happy employee

This time, I ordered cold home made barley from one of the vendor. She collected money from me and went to prepare my drink. I had to wait a while cause she had to add ice and shake to make the hot home made barley cold. Another vendor "eng eng" nothing to do, then talked to me. I was wearing some bling bling dogtag at that time.

She said, Eh xiaodi, ni de zhuan shi heng liang leh, auntie de dou mei you zhe mo liang, heng mei leh.

Then i replied, "ni xi huan ah, then wo bian yi mai ni, yi qian jiu hao."

Auntie continued, "yao ni song wo la, hai mai." My drink came and was going to leave.

That auntie's final words, "zhen de heng mei, zhen de."

HAHA!! IT MADE MY DAY!!

Then now, people say that: "oh, your taste similar to aunty, ha.ha.ha"

LouSY, you all are just jealous. jealous. JEALOUS.

Random Lessons

I like free hand drawing classes. Cause i can draw well. The classes are held once a week for 3 hours and it is fun. fun. FUN. Though there are some spoilers to it. Sometimes i do think that i should be in the design school. The class teaches you to observe and draw instead of drawing from your own imagination which i think i cant for the latter.

See picture below.

See!! IM gifted in drawing. !!

YEAR 3 Class 5
School will be starting tmr, with the first week going at ease and subsequently the burden will be heavier with projects and stuff piling up. Its the last year of poly life. Time goes by so so fast. And im a 19 year old.

██
Nineteen é Number
19 years and have I been living my life to the fullest?

When fullest equals to a 100 percent, I think, ive only acheived 40 out of the 100. Quite pathetic though. Neither having enough academic nor non-academic acheivement. Never really looking forward to occasions or stuff or even knowing exactly the things that i like. Not finding enough fulfilment in life. Had goals but yet to attain them. And do i really know the direction that im going?

When am i going to start to live properly?!
Hope it'll be tommorrow.

██
A BIG BIG YA!!
Its going to be tommorrow

Accompanying me will be my new bag, which im very proud of it. Ive always been proud of my bags. Though previously, the projectshopbloodbros bag that i had carried had me checked thrice by the SMRT security guards and that bag was also criticised by many that it looked way below its pricetag. I still like that bag very much. Back to my new bag, its a nike one. I seldom buy bags that are like common, where many people will be seen carrying the same one. But, I still bought it. The colour is nice and the shape is nice. Inside the bag, will be the key identifiable item which many would recognise as my long long water bottle that can fill 1.2litres of water. But this time, i will be downgrading the long long water bottle to a shorter one so as to save home water consumption. An also a new notebook, with my timetable handdrawn by myself since ill not receive any free timetable drawn for me from the timetable person this time. A pencil case, the old puma one with 1 pencil, 1 blue ink ball point pen and 1 black ink fountain pen inside it. And lastly, a file with a stack of papers for the printing of notes.

Regulars following me include, my white sonyericsson phone with 104 songs inside, my wallet, my keys with stussy keychain, either red or blue packing tissues.

turista- gross

2007-04-18T12:19:00.000+08:00

Turista is a horrible gore movie which features stapling of a open wound on the head so as to seal it to prevent further bleeding and using a satay stick poking into someones eyes and continuingly squashing further into it and the camera just wont go to another scene and it continuously show the very gross scene of the satay stick going further into that persons eye. Its an M18 show btw, and im surprise that the uncle checking the tickets did not ask for my IC. It was like one year ago when i was still 17 and wanted to watch a M18 show and that person checked our ICs. Does the face like change so much over a year? And finally I had the chance to walk into Vivocity's cinema because I did not have the opportunity to watch a movie there when im stuck at the Sentosa Campus.

And i bought a new bag some days ago for my 3rd year at school. (sounds abit HarryPotter-3rd year at Hogwarts)

I had also booked my first practical car session scheduled to be at 25 april, wed, 10:20.

Lastly, Tps timetable is going to be out tomorrow at 10am.

Accounts of a public pool

2007-04-13T20:56:00.000+08:00

Accounts of a public swimming pool

A public swimming pool is different from a private one. A public one is often more crowded as compared to private pools such as the ones at condominiums, clubs, resorts or hotels. Over crowding is a major problem at pools. It deters a swimmer from completing laps at ease even at the competition pool which is meant for that purpose .

The swimmer will often have to dodge people coming from all sorts of directions. (Arnt you wondering isnt it just the front where you'll have to dodge) It is because some people whom themselves claim that they cant finish the length so will have to stick to the breath. These people should just use the medium or learning pool in this case. The swimmer will have to be aware of his left, right and front.

Please note that Im clearly differentiating pool users as people and pool swimmers as swimmers. These people include: parents (those that teach their children to swim the breath and at the same time acting as if they are professionals), children learning swimming (I cant fault them, since they are performing under their instructors instructions), those that talk at the edge.

These people when swimming tend to open their eyes but not using them. They just swim, be it length or breath, just swim be it if theres a person swimming towards their direction, they think that they have the right of way at ALL TIMES. Children are still alright, but adults are simply incorrigibly inconsiderate. So if these inconsiderate adults collide at the children then it'll be er. not very nice. And i saw that happening today, luckily both are adults. Blind knocking against the blind.

Next issue is about the kids. Why do they often bring kids transporting them from school to the pool then back to the school again. Isnt it like troublesome? What if the kids get lost or something since its so so messy with them around. And the kids are like in hideously huge amounts choking up the pool the changing room and all these. Maybe schools should have pools ya. A female teacher was shouting at the entrance of the guys changing room: "Johnathan, Joel, come out now.!" Isnt this dumb, they should have at least a male and female teacher accompanying the school kids to the pool. I heard her calling, so I was like, Ya. Johnathan's here lo.

And i hate the murky waters which people have like urinated or see that plaster floating in the water.

Living in a condominium would then be much more nicer. With a clean pool to yourself. Though i dont swim that often.

One weird story

Some people just eat lesser just to lose some weight. (But can they really lose that some tiny puny numbers in decimels)
People wanting to lose weight hence they exercise, maybe say, once a week? (It aint enough de lor)
However some exercise, not to lose weight but just to be fit and be prepared for NS. (How fit is considered fit? huh? HUH!! HUUHHHH!! you tell me!!)
Preparing for NS? Dont need lar. (This aint my case)

AMK HUB

Ang Mo Kio hub, a new shopping mall integrating the bus terminal into it is just located next to the AMK MRT line. It is quite big, especially the bus terminal. Big in the sense that it really has really high ceilings. And one thing special bout the hub is that it made me freezingly cold each time i made a visit there. I used to have high defence against the air-con, but now, losing all the powers. Questioning myself, am i weaker now than before? Weak health? No?

Staying at home

Ive been staying at home, sleeping early daily for 5 days already. In the past, i felt that being alone at home makes time going so slow. But now, i have like so many things to do at home, reading harry potter, music books, advance theory for traffic, practicing guitar, cleaning and clearing up my room. Running 1/2 an hour around my neighbourhood or stretching with loud music playing in my room (stretching makes ppl taller, thats what i always think), watching television programmes or movies or to cook some chicken stock?? . And surfing net, msning and playing old computer games. These stuff do make my time pass faster. Okay, i admit that im saying that im bored in an indirect manner.

Fish Philosophy

Eating fish philosophy is carried out, since the day i mentioned it a few days ago. On Saturday, i had fish & co's fish and chips. Its deep fried though. On Sunday, i had home cooked sliced promfet porridge for lunch and fish soup with rice for dinner. And also, Friday had salmon sashimi at Sakae Sushi as well. I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE SUSHI BUFFET ANYMORE!! THEY ARE A WASTE OF MONEY!!

Im going to talk more about me. How johnathan behaves in his life.

1. Loud and noisy where ill talk a lot, exchanging my views and such
2. Quiet and non-chalant, minding my own stuff and i dont really talk a lot, it appears that i am angry but im not
3. Angry and furious where arrows of words are often exchanged
4. Emo and feeling that sadness fills the world
5. Happy and am feeling real good
6. Quiet and black-faced, this can be quite similar to no.2, the only difference is that im feeling real angry now
7. A behaviour of me not understood by myself but can be seen by the people around me
8. Unknown trait

Being a frequent mood swinger, ill change from behaviour to behaviour.
So which behaviour do you all prefer me to be??? But ill change, REAL fast.

hitting me hard.!

2007-04-07T17:48:00.000+08:00

So what am i suppose to say with all the conversations made!! They hit me hard and im speachless. But nevermind. I have my own philosophy in life. (like eating fish is healthy and i shall eat more fish) Though it may seem that these stuff are simple and it reflects that im not "deep" enough for some, but it is the way that i view what life is all about. People will have to make sure that they understand me well enough or even thoroughly enough before making false accusations and claims about me. Shoot me and ill shoot you back!! A strong statement? No? Some may think: "what sort of english is this, shoot? Shoot what, bamboo shoot?" If youve all the evidence that can prove that im in the wrong, bring it on and ill admit that im wrong.

If you can convince me.

car learning.

2007-04-05T12:40:00.000+08:00

I passed my basic theory test and with flying colours. cos sure A1 de. (Its meant to be a lame joke) And moreover, I was the first to leave the examination venue and walked out sat sat. OKaY!! its just basic theory lor... And i went to check the dates that i can book for my practical lessons. its like 1 month later. diao~~ sian sian sian lor. Hai. But im not too eager to drive a car la. Frankly speaking, if not i would've been more enthusiastic like, once i turned 18 then i go take driving lessons le. And I started some reading, i maybe lagging far behind, reading harry potter's order of phoenix, but at least i started reading. If i would to complete the book, it would be the thickest book that i have ever read. Now im heading for chapter 3 soon. For the past few days, ive been sleeping before my scheduled bedtime. 1130pm. So guess thats an acheivement and i wouldnt want to break my bedtime rule for anyone, anything and whatever elses.

Whats red white and pure? Its a very nicey looking place by Eu Yan Sang. Quite surprised that it was opened by them cos the design of RWP is chic and clean. Its been a long time since i last visited vivocity and sentosa. Dunno whens the next time ill visit those 2 places. And im happy that im back to temasek poly but still will miss sentosa campus. Do you think Singapore is small? Some say yes some say no. For me ill say no, cos there are still lotsa places i have yet to visit.

My hair is getting longer, but not long enough to motivate me to give it a cut. Its been like 3plus months. And its been quite long that i last used the clay thing. So when i used that clay on my hair, it means that im meeting important ppl, important functions or events or that im just feeling happy and at the same time a bit hiao. On reading this, please do not assume that im saying that i am feeling unhappy all these days. From my way of looking at whether i should be happy about life or not, i think that im quite happy with it la. Really. Like I am surrounded by a bunch of good people, family and friends. But these good people sometimes can be dumb at times but at least they are good souls living in the world. And im quite satisfied with who i am. The way i am. The way i think. The way i behave. Actually i do feel proud of myself. And i have money to spend on things that i want to buy. A nice house to live in, ample food available for me. So my lifes good. I AM happy with it. But there can be improvements though and ill work hard towards improving the quality of my life.

Done badminton and swimming for the past week but no running. NS is coming!! Must remind myself.
