This will be my last post before entering NS.

Definitely very nervous right now. From young till now, I have always not been a very strong-willed person. NS will be a very important test for me. Surprisingly, I have nothing much to blog about. Thoughts can't form into words. See you in 2 weeks.

Graduation Day was on Tuesday. 3 years flew by just like that, and its really like that. The ending of one milestone marks the beginning of another. I believe, everyone has their regrets and I have mine too. Too many to name so, forget it =)D. My next milestone will end in 2 years. The beloved NS. YA-HA!!!

Yesterday's game was intense. Chelsea vs Barcelona. Personally felt that Chelsea should have won. I think the referee bought a draw. 3 penalties not given. However, I also think that Barcelona did earn that goal considering their possession was around 60+. Time is going by real fast. 4 weeks left and byebye hair. =)D

Highlight of the Day: Friend lost his phone

My friend lost his phone. Was rather sad, not because of the lost phone, but due to the loss of his numerous photos (according to my spy it was near 800) with his ex-gf. He said it was his only memories left of her. *Light bulb appear*. A new topic to talk about.

Memories are hidden in our brain. They will pop out whenever we think of something that is in similar relation to it. External objects certainly helps humans in having a stronger memory of someone, an event or whatsoever. Comparing between 'External Objects' and 'Memories', I believe the former has a stronger impact to humans as I believe humans will react strongly to things that they are able to touch and see.

Alrightttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.. Shall begin with my proper update.

Monday

Went to school in the morning to slack around and play DotA in the lab. At around 6, cabbed down to Marina Square from school to watch 'Race to Witch Mountain' with my friends. The movie was simply, normal. Nothing really 'WOW' from it. After movie was dinner. Pretty much the usual routine la.

Tuesday

IT PROJECT SHOW!!! This is the day whereby the school invited lecturers from other diplomas, our juniors, and people from outside to take a look at our projects. It's from 1-6pm. Everyone involved had to stand from 1-6pm, with breaks in between, and explain to the people what our project is all about. It also basically marks the end of my life in Temasek Polytechnic =)D.

Wednesday

Soccer (short and sweet)

Am/Was very lazy to elaborate on the things that I've done. This explains why this post is rather short despite the fact that it consist the share of 3 days.

A few of my classmates and I went to school from roughly 9am - 5pm. There were also other students from different diplomas from IIT of Temasek Poly. The purpose of today's 'gathering' was to do a test run of an event called the "IT project show 2009". Everyone of us was told that we will be presenting our projects to the director of IIT School and the rest of the committee. HOWEVER, only 2 groups from my diploma presented due to the lack of time. That means most of the students went to school for NOTHING!!!

Its just some rantings. Skip that if you want. =)D.

Some people feels that COMMUNICATION is the most important thing between couples or friends or whatever. In my humble opinion, i beg to differ. TRUST is the most important factor. If you don't trust the other party no matter how much he/she communicates with you, its useless. You will think that whatever he/she says is bullshit. Likewise in the other scenario, if you really trust the other party, he/she doesn't really have to say much.

Just some random thoughts. So to those people who will be reading this, you all can categorize the 3rd paragraph under the 'Bullshit' section. =)D

A man went to see a doctor. He told the doctor "I think I'm suffering from depression, what should I do". The doctor replied him "Besides receiving help from medication, you might want to visit the the clown from the circus. The clown is from Italy and I heard that he is very hilarious. Perhaps he can cheer you up". The man burst into tears and told the doctor "I'm the clown".

I feel highly anticipated by just thinking that I have to go to school this week for 4 out of 5 days.

Recession and inflation seems to be the hot topic of the whole wide world now (with the exception of antarctica. No offence to the penguins and polar bears). I personally have one solution to this problem - Everyone stop working. Money is the root of 'Recession and Inflation' aka R&I. Therefore, if there is no money there is no R&I. In order to have no money, everyone should stop working and make the value of money drop to rock bottom.

Helloooo people! I'm back for my weekly posts! =D

So, before I start on today's post, I feel that there is a need to remind you readers out there about my life's routine now. I am working on every single weekday, with Saturday and Sunday being my rest days. Therefore, for today's post, I shall be talking about my work and this of course, can get a little dry. Utmost understanding is required on the reader's part.

First day of work was rather relaxing for me. Went around familiarizing ourselves with the place first before settling down to get briefed on our tasks for the ITP period. Fortunately for us, our supervisor is very friendly and receptive towards us. We are attached to the Research Department and as the name suggests, our tasks require us to do intensive research. Our work is also more supportive in nature, something which I believe I am rather weak at. =X

From the second day onwards, working life has officially commenced and I got down to work once I reached the office. It is kinda tiring at the end of each day as the task I did require me to be both attentive and resourceful.

I suppose that the working environment in NUS Development Office is very different from the usual office atmosphere that one experiences in other offices. There is about zero supervision from the colleagues as everyone focused fully on accomplishing their tasks. The people there are also very friendly and we co-existed very peacefully.

Well, although I have been made to work overtime on several occassions during this first week, I still enjoy this job up till now. No complaints from me. =) I also find that I have plenty of opportunities to learn the necessary skills and knowledge from my fellow colleagues, and these are things which I can never learn books. Honestly speaking, I am very hopeful with regard to my learning opportunities in DVO and I shall strive to ensure that I have a bountiful return from this ITP.

Woolah!! I think I shall just end off here people. Shall update again when I have the time next week! Cya around! Wheee~!

Heyy people, I'm BACKKKKK!! Hahaha!

Well honestly, it isn't much of a big deal that I'm back, but since our dear Gabby put my status as "Dead", I think "Resurrection" in this sense seems quite a big deal to me. *Blush* Lol.

Hmm.. Where to start off now that I have been Missing-in-Action for eons? Okay, I think before I go into talking about some of my past-doings and my future plans, I must thank Gabby for maintaining this blog and keeping it alive during all this while. Of course, to my amazement (and probably to the amazement of many other people), he did some changes to the template of this blog too. Truthfully speaking, I never ever did expect him to change the template in any way, not when the task would only serve to remind him of extra homework and no marks. =X Hahaha.

So well, yep. He did it. And he did it so meticuolously (take note, the links in the other column is arranged in ALPHABETICAL order) that if there was another person who is active in using this blog, I would have rather believed that it was him than Gabby who did it. But o'well, fact is that there is no such person and I just gotta accept that Gabby has changed (slightly?) for the better. Cheers to you, Gabby.

Moving on, I shall talk a little bit of history here. School has just ended and behold the truth, Year 2 is, in my most honest opinion, the toughest year in Poly yet. More projects, more work, less chances of scoring As... I guess that sums it all up.

On a brighter note though, the other aspect of my life has been very colourful. Although we have our small squabbles occassionally, we never allowed them to escalate into big quarrels and she has been very understanding with me. Hee. Looking back, it has been a year since we last got together. Valentine's and our first-year anniversary was great, and I am looking forward to the suprise that she has in store for me. Hahaha!

I have no holidays in this semestral-break as I have to go on an internship according to the school's arrangement. Fortunately for me, I managed to source for my own company, which is the NUS Development Office. I hope my stint there will be a very enriching one for myself and for them, I hope I'll be able to contribute something in return for the opportunity they gifted to me. Hoho!

Oh yea, before I forget, I think I must write a review for the show My Bloody Valentine. The show is... Well, it is not very boring, considering that it is pretty gory coupled with the fact that there is a small extent of suspense in the storyline. However, my words are "not VERY boring", so in a way, you guys can interpret it as disappointing or "watch it only if you have the time and money".

Warning: Spoilers below.

The show is about a mining worker who, after suffering from a very big trauma (he escaped from an explosion in the mine he was working at), became thirsty for blood and started to went on a killing spree on Valentine's Day. He put on his mining suit and used his mining tool (something that resembles a hammer but instead of having 2 blunt ends, it has 2 sharp ends) to kill. So as you can expect, using such a weapon to kill is bound to be gory. Eww. So after killing many people, just when he was about to kill the last guy, the police finally caught up with him and shot him and that resulted in his eventual death.

However, 10 years after his death, similar murder cases arised again. The killer wore the same suit and used the same weapon as the murderer from the infamous case 10 years ago. More suprisingly, the body from the murderer's grave was missing after police conducted their investigation. Could it be a case of the dead being animated, or is it just another sick imposter trying to remind the public of what happened in 10 years ago? All this would be revealed after you have watched the show. =)

Alright, I think I should be ending off here now. Hmm.. Well, since I haven't made my new year resolutions-cum-wishes yet, I think I shall list them down here.

1. Study well, study hard.
2. Continue my relationship.
3. Be an useful intern.
4. Stay happy.
5. Have more free time.

Omg. Five items seems kinda greedy but well, it's always better to ask for more! Hee. =)

Okay now folks, I shall stop here for the day. Don't worry, I will be back to update soon! Till then, see ya around and take care everybody!

Shall dedicate this post to my MP project, just like the last 2 posts. Totally have no mood or whatsoever to go to school tml and 'continue' with my project. I may sound like some spoilt brat but AHHHHHHHZHHHHH, no one gives a shit =x.

The weather recently is great. "Rain drops are falling on my head" (is this right?). Keeps Singapore cool.

I think around 1 week ago, my computer's connection was killing me. Every DotA game I played, spikes and lag bound to occur. This went on for around 1-2 days. I thought it was a sign. Hehe. Now, my connection came back. Every DotA game I played was smooth. I think, it is another sign. The timing of the 'spikes and lag' and 'smooth' were incredible and very matching to several situations.

People who is/are nice enough (highly doubt so) are free to accompany me tml in TP.

Timing: 11am
Venue: I will be in the IIT school MP lab (ironically situated at AS)

"6 laps were enough". This was what the teacher told him. Reluctantly, he dragged his heavy feet and started jogging. 1st lap gone. 2nd lap gone. 3rd lap gone. Into the 4th lap he decided to make haste as he wanted to get this over with. Finally the last lap came. He made his final dash and cross the finish line. He was happy that all the torment is over and made his way to the teacher. Never did he saw this coming. The teacher told him that its not over and he still needs to run another 4 laps.

There were 2 words on his mind.. 'Fuck it'.

MAJOR UPDATE!!!

School

For the past grueling 10 - 12 (or 13 or 14) weeks, MP or some people call it FYP, has been 'awesome'. (There is a LITTLE sarcasm here). Projects have always been a chore to me. Sian to the max. With the aid of needing to do one thing over and over again certainly adds to the
sian-ness of the project. The only thing enjoyable during this period is definitely my retarded friends. They are loud, crazy, lame and most importantly, RETARDED.

Special Events

Chinese New Year was rather boring to me. There was not a single bit of New Year Feel. It was in fact, boring.

Valentine's Day. Hmm.. How should i put it? This year is different from my past 19 years. Had a short lunch with someone. Didnt expect that she will agree as it was rather last minute. Thanks for the 1hr =D

It has been a while. Truthfully speaking, there isnt must to update. For those who dont know, I am doing my MP now. Everyday has been the same - Wake up, Bathe, Go school, Eat, Project, Go back, Bathe, Eat, Sleep. Had been doing this for almost every weekdays.

I kope the website for kenny's blog. Anyone wants the website link can go to his blog and take it from him.

Your view on yourself:

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

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

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

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

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

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education:

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

The right job for you:

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

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

It has been quite a while since I've updated this blog. Tons to write just that my laziness is owning me (as usual).

Attachment has ended for around 2 weeks. It kinda feels good not having to wake up at a timing whereby I prefer to be dreaming about pretty girls. 15 weeks of internship. Kinda miss that place and the people a little and serious ITS A LITTLE. As it is an 'Attachment', one will definitely feel 'Attached' to that place they are working as an intern. AHA AHA AHAHHAHAHAHAHHA. Ok lame.

We were given 2 weeks break so that we could rest ourselves for our final sprint - MP, which starts, in another 3 days time (damn it). Talking about MP, my group and I will be meeting our client tml.

I know you guys are interested to know what I did during the 2 weeks break. It was meant to be kept private but I shall be kind enough to 'ease' your curiosity. I went jogging in the morning, TWICE (i should have done more) in the 2 weeks. Basically just slacking around as always. Gaming and Anime-ing. Addicted to a new anime now. It's called 'Katekyoushi Hitman Reborn!'. Genre of this anime should be comedy and action ba. I would recommend for anime lovers out there, it's worth a watch.

THAT'S ALL FOLKS

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY. HAHA. Well, this is not the reason to why I have the luxury of staying home during the weekdays.. HAPPY HARI RAYA PUASA ---> This is the reason.

A well-spent day at home. Recuperating at home. Been very tired these few days. Watch videos, play game and watch video again. Can be summerized as rotting though =).

If you had a chance to see your/the future, will you do it? Maybe most of us will ba. A human's sense of curiosity is rather strong. What if the future that you see is not what you have expected? How would you react to it? I'm sure these are the first few thoughts that will burst out of your mind IF you have the chance to see the future. It's like fortune telling. You go to a fortune-teller to have your fortune told. You may not believe it but just go to one for fun or out of curiosity. If he/she says good things then, there is nothing to worry about. On the contray, if he/she says things that you don't want to listen, you will be worring about it for probably the rest of life.

It is best not to have a premonition of regardless anything for a human heart will not be able to take it if the result is bad.

Some people say, everything is destined while others believe that we can control our own fate. We are the ones that will make the choices in life and the way that we want to live. I got just one question. How do you know that the choices you make are not 'pre-programmed'?

Everyone needs to make choices in parts of our life. We control our own fate by making these choices. "I want to go overseas to study instead of studying in a local University". "I want to work in the bank of ABC instead of DEF". What if, all these are 'pre-programmed'? You thought that you are controlling your own fate but it is destined that you will 'make' these choices. We control our own fate or does fate control us? Sometimes, answers can't be found in books. You have to make your come up with your own answer

ITS 4 WEEKS LEFT TO SIP. THATS DAMN FAST. However, I was bored to death when I was working.

Bascially just staring at the bloody computer for near to 8hrs. It was not so bad last friday cause I had Jeff Dunham on youtube keeping me accompany. The sad thing is, I THINK I WATCHED ALL HIS VIDEOS ON FRIDAY AND TOMORROW WILL BE BACK TO 'BORING MODE'. I hope I don't go crazy before the end of SIP.

I have a little request regarding my SIP which I believe that most of my friends does - which is to AT TIMES be allowed to do our work at home =D. This will be much more, erm, interesting.

My supervisor has listed a list of tasks to be completed before 17 October but I believe, all those can be completed within 2 weeks. WHICH MEANS I HAVE 2 WEEKS LEFT. Well, I may be wrong though.

Any suggestions on how to pass time can be posted on the tagbox. PM is also welcome.

I wonder how many readers how there watched the anime - Full Metal Alchemist. From what I know, there are only 2. One very important rule of alchemy - Equivalent Exchange, which means to exchange something for another thing with the similar value. However, does this 'rule' exist in real life?

There is also a saying that is similar to the meaning of Equivalent Exchange and that is, you reap what you sow. You study hard, you get good results. Sadly, this is not always true. I admit that studying somehow does ensure that you get good results but not everytime. Put it in another way, does the result you get is of the same value as the time you spend studying? For eg, Mr. 1 can spend 5 hrs studying on Maths and Mr.2 spend 3 hrs. At the end of the day, both of them got the same result, a B. According to the rule of Equivalent Exchange if 3 hrs = B, then 5 hrs should be A, or at least a B+.

I can give other examples but I see no point in doing that because the meaning will be around the same. Thus, I shall end here.

ELLO PEOPLE! Did not really have the intention to blog today but well, after reading the tagboard and Gabby's post, I am touched by the fact that there are still some readers around here. So yup, for you readers out there, I am going to write a new post today. =)

Hmm.. Since there isn't much for me to say about myself, I think that it would be good if I just talk about something which I guess many of you out there have experienced.

I understand that many of the readers of this blog are polytechnic students. Which means to say, many of you have experience handling projects and group assignments with your fellow classmates, whom can be intimately known as "friends" as well.

As we all know, polytechnic education is trying to imitate the working environment in the society. This means that there are more team projects rather than individual tests to assess the capabilities of each individuals. However, there are two major flaws involved in the implementation of such a system and the following paragraphs will help to elaborate my arguments.

1. Colleagues and the "friends" in polytechnic are different.

As far as I know, it is very difficult to become very good friends with your working colleagues. This could be due to the lack of interaction time between both parties, or that both are older in age and are more likely to spend time with their families instead of pursuing entertainment with friends. Either way, it is very unlikely that working colleagues can become friends.

On the other hand, friendships are easily forged during polytechnic times. Besides the time that you and your classmates spend together in school, there are other activities which most teenagers perform as well, and this includes shopping together, going to the beach, playing sports, etc.. All these activites will help to develop a strong bond between any 2 parties.

Here comes the dilemna. During project work, are you able to give out orders to your friends the same way you do to your colleagues? Are you able to say and scold them should they not complete their tasks on time? Because of the friendship that you have forged with them previously, I guess many of your answers would be a flat "No."

Yes, some may argue back, saying that there are Peer Evaluation Forms to be filled up after the completion of the projects. However, let me bring forward this point: How many of you would state the truth and mark your friends down? In contrast, who would give everybody in the group equal marks and develop the thinking that the project has already been completed and there is no point being so petty? I guess the answer here is pretty obvious.

2. Working environment consists of a huge motivating factor: Money

I believe that most of the working adults out there are working to meet end needs. Money is given to those who are capable and are able to maximise profits for the company. People work hard to get promotions, to become recognised and ultimately, to earn more money for themselves and their families.

Marks, on the other hand, are not so much of a motivating factor to many individuals. Do not be suprised when I say that many people just want to scrape a pass in polytechnics and get the diploma at the end of the 3 years. Marks to them are crap. There is no difference between an A and a D grade. Therefore, when it comes to project work, they just do it the "anyhow" way, get those "anyhow" marks and are satisfied with it. In the process, of course, they neglected those who wants to do well in their studies and pulled them down to the slump that they chose to belong to.

Money is a need to everyone, marks isn't. Face it. There are plenty of students out there who just fail to realise that marks are required for them to get the money in the future.

With the above mentioned flaws in the current system, I think that the grades given out by the polytechnics for project works are not reflective of the capabilites of each individual students. In conclusion, I feel that more can be done to improve the current situation and hopefully, in the future, the better students can be distinguished more effectively.

Well. It seems my partner-in-crime is back and it's good news for me cause I WON'T BE THE ONLY ONE MAINTAINING THIS BLOG WHEN 3 PEOPLE OWNS IT. =D

2 weeks no see and I hope there are still readers roaming around this blog. (is there even any to begin with?) Sad enough to say, I haven't receive my pay from SIM yet and I've worked for 9 weeks. However, it's quite relieving to hear that there are also people that are in the same situation as me =D. Personally, I have not much use for the money so I am not making quite a big fuss out of it.

Weekends pass by really fast, especially when you are having fun. Basically, I rotted for the whole of today, and it is quite normal for a person like me. On the contray, I went out for the whole day of yesterday. Met ln and kc for lunch. After lunch, we went to take the tickets while waiting for yh to arrive. Ln suggested that we go in first cause she will be late and we did. Overall the movie was really nice. Touching and meaningful. I thought I would have cry/teared but I didn't. (Zai bo?) After the movie we begin to slack around Marina Square. Had our dinner at the food court before heading to watch dance competition. Beautrice was in it and it was the finals of the competition. Lazy to type the details. Want to find out more go to one of my friend's blog. (Slowly go click =D)

I'm used to typing my updates in the first half of the entry, and then talk about a topic in the second.

I thought of a topic for a very long time like 15 mins and I couldn't think of one. I kept thinking and thinking and finally decided on a topic which is abit relevant to the anime I watched this morning. The main 7 sins of human - Lust, Gluttony, Envy, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Pride. Which one of the 7 is regarded as the most dangerous to mankind? I believe that there will be different answers from different people. When I ask myself this question, I really had a hard time coming up with an answer. No matter how I looked at it, 7 of them are as deadly as one another.

Lust - This is a sin, in my opinion, is usually found in man. Lust in this case, meaning lust for sex. Man is a very, erm, horny species. They can hardly resist to the temptation of woman. This sounds dangerous as there still no cure for AIDS at the moment =D.

Gluttony - Eat and eat and eat and eat. I don't think this is really a huge problem for the majority of the human race as most of us, want to look good and stay healthy.

Envy - Jealous is almost another name for it. I feel that envy is a good thing. However, over-excess of envy will turn to jealousy. This is one reason to why, huamns can never be satisfied. We always want what we don't have and yet other's do.

Greed - By far, I think it's the most threating sin of the 7. Greed is like the root for almost all the other 6 sins. They say money is the root of all evil. For eg, corruption takes place because of greed. Suffering will occur because of corruption. Thus, it is quite fair that it is No.1.

Sloth - Laziness. It is in me and I don't find it quite disturbing =x.

Wrath - WRATH LEH ZEUS. Sorry for the lame joke but this is the first thing comes to my mind when I see this word. Anger. This is quite a huge weakness. Some people though have good anger management. Whenever we are angry, we would often show our temper to the one that caused you to be angry and sadly, to other innocent ones too. This is the reason why I feel that it is one of the top-ranked sins.

Pride - When it's time to say sorry, it's time to say sorry. Pride is a must to have but not too much. Too much pride can lead to trouble. Sometimes, it is better to swollow down your pride than to push it out from your chest.

Today's post is just a summerized version of each sin. This is quite an interesting topic and I'm sure that a more elaborated version will soon be coming. At least, I have a rough idea on what to write for the next 7 posts.

HEYY PEOPLE! After close to 10 years of MIA-ing, I have decided to come back and do something productive here. Hee.

Judging from my tone, you guys must be expecting me to bring in something joyous right? Well, you guys are right! I am here to annouce that I am finally 18! More freedom, less restrictions in the eyes of the law and of course, more self-responsibility. (Ohh, that sounded serious. =X)

Anyway, I had the greatest birthday celebrations of all time this year. On Thursday (which was the actual day of my birthday), Cynthia and I went to Vivocity to celebrate this special occassion. She prepared a string of suprises for me, so much so that I began to teared after she showed me the video clip which she made. It was very touching and I really appreciate her efforts a lot, a lot. It was the first time that she celebrated my birthday with me, and needless to say, this is one day which will remain in my memory bank for the many years to come. The video clip is extremely well-done (not in the graphical sense if you guys are thinking of that), but is more than enough to melt me. The efforts put in to make a 3-min video clip is definitely not little. Having said that much, I think you guys must be wondering what the video is right? Well, not to disappoint you readers out there, I promise that I shall put the video clip up on this blog as soon as I have it. Something to look forward to eh? Hahaha. And yea, Cynthia also whipped up a box of Pineapple Tarts as a box of present to me. Updates: My family and I have finished the box of pineapple tarts, and no doubts, the pineapple tarts are very delicious. Even my mum sang praises for it. =D

My birthday celebrations however, did not stopped on Thursday. On Friday, Cynthia and I joined my clique as we took the skytrain out of this small island to yet another smaller island known as Sentosa. Common knowledge as it is, huge parts of Sentosa are currently under development. Hence, there wasn't really many places for us to visit, and I guess that was why we settled down on the beach instead. Beach activities soon ensued, with all of us playing "Monkey", beach volleyball, beach soccer and of course, taking a dip in the sea. It was a fun day spent catching up with those pals and exercising myself. THANKS FOR THE PRESENTS AND THE CAKE DUDES! Special credits to my clique as they baked a cake for me. XIE XIE NI MEN! Hahaha!

After reading all my birthday celebrations, don't you readers out there feel like there is a particular group of friends missing out from my birthday celebrations? *Ahem!* Well, you all know who you are, I shan't reveal too much. (Actually not so despo lahz. Lol. Just hoping to catch up with you guys soon.) =)

Hmm. After talking about my celebrations, I feel that I owe the readers an explanation regarding my MIA. Hahaha. Not so serious lahz, but yea, I stopped posting because of the immense workload that I had on hand before school term ended. Just a brief summary of what happened during the few months, my team was one of the finalists in the SIMBIZ challenge (School Category), I did not do well for the most intense project for one of the modules, getting only 66 marks, I stopped going to work for the whole of August because of the semestral examinations, I almost screw some people up because of some problems that they had with me, I had a small tiff with my girlfriend prior to my birthday celebrations, and many many more which I just can't seem to be able to recall now. Lol.

Alright then folks, I hope you guys have enjoyed reading. One piece of advice before I end off, do cherish the people around you. You will never know what lies ahead in the journey of life.

With that, I hope you guys have an enjoyable weekends. Cya around!

WEEK 7 OF SIP HAS ENDED AND THERE IS STILL NO PAY. DAMN STEADY ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR...... (And on and on and on)

I believe that there is a saying that goes like this - If you are willing to learn, you will be able to do it (Idea there la, mai gei gao =D). Things like soccer or basketball, you can pick them up by training. After undergoing massive trainings, you will acquire them as one of your skills. I label these as "Trainable Skills". In my opinion, there are some skills that can't be learnt. At least, not that easily.

For sports, you can get a teacher to teach you and train everyday. Those "Un-trainable Skills" I'm talking about will be more like Communication Skills or Social Skills. However, the focus of today's topic is about the Art of Decision Making (Do I sound like a lecturer?)

Yes. Maybe some of you might say that there are courses or seminars to teach people how to communicate better. However, I still don't think that it will benefit much or rather "increase your skills in that area".

Decision Making in my opinion, is the hardest thing ever on Earth. There is always 2 sides of a coin to choose from and which side will u choose. Its HIGHLY IMPOSSIBLE to be in a win-win situation because if there is, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO CHOOSE. Normally, humans being humans will choose the option that will benefit them. And humans also being humans will also feel guilty if the decision they make is favourable to them but not to others. This is the reason to why I feel that "Decision Making" is a very complicated matter. Still using the same reason, when humans are in a 进退两难 situation they will probably "run away" from the decision making by remaining silent or looking at other people with a "I hope you can help me decide" eyes.

This is a rather large topic and due to time constraint (I need massive amount of sleep), I'm gonna stop here. =D

Yawn. I feel that I have not enough sleep everyday. Despite having a healthy lifestyle of sleeping from 11-6.45 almost daily, I'm still tired.

Tomorrow marks the start of week 7. Everday week seems to go by faster and faster. From a slow moving tricycle to now at least the MRT. Ferrari will come by week 15 I guess.

Actually after 6 weeks of internship, I have seriously nothing to blog about except for the repetition of the same things. Life has seriously been the same - Work, Eat, Bathe, Sleep.

I've been thinking of what to include in this post and after 5 mins of brain cells killing, NOTHING. So, I shall stop here =D.

Sunday is a very dreadful day for me cause it's the last resting day of the week. 2 days free from work never seemed enough for me. Perhaps I'm greedy. Well, who wouldn't ask for more? =D

Shall focus this post on the events that happened today. One should not look at the past right?

Woke up at 8.55am. This timing definitely sucks, but I have a morning movie to catch with my family so no choice. Watched "Money Not Enough 2". A typical Jack Neo film. Comedy is expected. Hokkien is a must to double the laughter. A teeny weeny bit of not so vulgar vulgarities to top it up. Of course I also anticipated scenes of heart-warming sadness to be included in the film. However, I didn't expect that in this film, the sadness was more than the comedy.

Jack Neo's recent films have been heavily critised by the media and were usually rated less then 3/5 stars. In my opinion, this is due to the lack of awaken mummies, crazy criminals and huge explosions that scare the hell out of you. Personally, I feel that once in a while watching "Jack Neo's type of film" is not a bad change.

Yes, maybe the plot is not very good compared to the twists and turns of "Dark Knight". However, I think these 2 movies can't be compared as they are 2 totally different type of films. I think that (I may be wrong) most, or maybe all Jack Neo's films ultimately are to deliver various messages to the people who watched them. The focus on his films and other action films are different. A fine example I would use will be his current movie - "Money Not Enough 2". I think the focus on this movie would be "Filial". I shall not be a "spoiler" and share about the movie but I think those who have already watched the movie will understand what I said.

The messages that all Jack Neo's movies delivered are really things and problems faced by people. After watching this movie, it inspired me for a quote of the day.

Yo. Here I am again. Life has been simple. Wake up -- Bathe -- Eat Breakfast -- Go to work -- Work -- Lunch -- Continue working -- Go home -- Watch TV -- Sleep.

Work has been boring. However, I kinda prefer this boring-ness to the imba stress. I should be 知足 a bit and not complain so much ^^.

Nothing much to blog about. Oh ya. Lzx's new song is very nice. It may be bias-ness and I personally like it very much. Title of the song is: Cause I believe (if I'm not wrong). It's a rather sad song so if you are emo you can listen to it. I shall write part of the lyrics here. It will confirm have some mistakes cause I'm trying my best to "decipher" the lyrics by listening to the song and it's rather "noisy". And crap, this song is not in the sound track. Hope will be in his new album.

Well Well Well, 1 week since my last post. Seems like a long time compared to my "one post a day" spree since the start of my work.

Monday, the 1st day of work and always the most dreaded day for me within a week. I can expect a boring week lies ahead of me. Editing Editing and MORE EDITING. Sianzation man. If I'm not wrong, I'm going to edit and edit for the rest of the 3 months. Thats, sian to the max la.

Its quite standard of me to talk about work at the 1st 2 paragraph and then talk about something else in the next few. It will be no exception today.

Love is seriously a very mysterious thing. It is an unexplanable element in life. Actually, I believe I have more to say about love but due to the overwhelming physical and mental pressure that is suppressing my body and mind, I shall save this part for another day. Muackz

I'm in my 4th week of internship. Seems fast yet slow. Yea yea I know, CONTRADICTION.

I think time will pass pretty fast tml as I need to listen to around 8hrs of audio files. DAMN SONG. Hope that they don't want to buy a streaming server. Then, task 3 cant be done. MUAHAHAHHAHAHAHA.

When a person commits a mistake, punishment is given to him. Sounds fair rite. So for example, a guy drinks and drive and knocks down somemore. The guy got fined and sentence to jail. Fair. How about the victim's side? Nothing can be done to cover the loss.

I'm not trying to say that "Orh, then like that don't punish the person who drink drive lor". I'm just trying to say that nothing is fair. When something like this happens, one party (often the victim side) would have to give in. Thats what I feel la. Of course there may be disagreements and feel free to write ur comments on the tagbox ^^

After one big round, I finally found out the problem. I don't like the working environment.

Getting more tired and tired. Always tell myself to sleep earlier for example at around 10. Just couldn't resist playing for around 45 mins and than blog for 15 mins.

Task 2 is almost completed. Everything will be done once it works on a server. Task 3 is podcast. Seems quite easy. Have already plan it out. Decided to use blogger as a host. Blogger also allows people to give their comments so 2 problems have already been solved. What's left would be the editting of the audio and probably the design of the blog itself.

I'm going to be alone again on Friday. If it was at level 4 then it wouldn't be so bad. At least there will be someone talking to me. However, I've moved up to level 6 which is quite strange for me. See how it goes ba. Hope "it" won't come back. 62 complaints to go

Today was as boring as usual. Maybe even more boring than usual. Slept during lunch hours, or I would rather say rest. Too tired. However, my shoulders ache whenever I put my head down on the table for too long. I can't sleep at all la.

I certainly am QUITE confident that task 2 can be completed by tomorrow. Provided they don't reject the final product =x. If by morning everything for task 2 is done, THEN WHAT ABOUT THE AFTERNOON. Crap. Tomorrow will be another boring day.

It will be nice if I can surf the web or do my own things whenever I have nothing to do or submit. I have to act that I'm busy by "googl-ing" when people walk past, and this happens like FREQUENTLY LA.

Although the compliation was done, there were other considerations like music and the file size of the video. If its too big, the user will have to take years to finish streaming the video. Hope everything can be done by tomorrow, or at least wednesday.

Haiz. Why do weekends have to pass by so quickly while the time during weekdays is as slow as a snail.

Working life definitely suck unless you are doing what you enjoy, which is not very common. Study is way better than working. Think I'm still not used to the working life yet. Still got the "sian sian" feeling. Probably will be better next week ba (I hope).

And btw, WHY CAN'T I FIND LUO ZHI XIANG'S DVD CONCERT. Yesterday I went to tampines in search of the dvd. Don't have. Today went marina and I passed by HMV. Also don't have. The release date was 11 of July and I don't understand why I couldn't find it. Shall try again next week.

Have anyone of you (whoever that still reads this blog) experience pain before. Not physically. For example you went through a break-up, or the lost of the love one. If yes, will you occasionally think of that particular event and your heart feels "sour". I think its normal for everyone to have feel this way before. Cause these "events" have turned into memories. Whether you like it or not, be it happy or sad, they will come out once in a while and remind you that they exist. People say time heals wound but i beg to differ.

Tomorrow's job scope shall be producing a storyboard, getting the storyboard approved, and using iMovie to combine pictures together. Hopefully everything goes fine.

Btw, today was the slack-est day of my whole working career(up till now). Practically doing NOTHING. Except for surfing the web for random stuffs. Hope time will pass much faster tomorrow or I will be bored to death.

As I still have a bit of time, I shall translate line 1 - 9 in chinese.

明天就是星期五了。真爽。真是令人期待。不过，明天我可能会一个人工作。还好是星期五，我的心情才没有受到太大的影响。

明天工作的内容就是“不会写”，“不会写”，和用iMOVIE把所有的照片变成一个短片。希望一切多会顺利。

对了，今天是我工作生涯里最轻松的一天。根本没做些什么。除了上网查些无聊的东西。希望明天时间能过得快一点，否则我会闷死。

Another day has passed by just like that. I'm am now classified as a "no-lifer". Well, actually I didn't have much life for the past ? years.

When people asked me what I do in my free time, my replies would often result in one thing - They will replied back with 2 words and that is "No Life".

Does staying at home everyday playing computer games and watching anime and videos = No Life? In my opinion, I don't think so.

For example, if you go out everyday or maybe club every night, are you implying that you have life? COME ON. Face the fact. You are just doing the same things over and over again just like me. I'm just giving an example, the "you" doesn't imply to anyone.

For what I feel, as long as you are doing what you like/enjoy, you have LIFE. However, I don't mean that staying at home EVERY SINGLE DAY IS HEALTHY. Going out once in a while is definitely a must. Breathe the fresh air(I doubt there is any in Singapore) out there, move ur muscles and have a little chit-chat session with you friends. In other words, to me no one has "No life".

On a sidenote, I HOPE TOMORROW'S FLASH TASK WILL BE SMOOTHLY CARRIED OUT.

I think I shall stop posting about my SIP for 1 day and talk about something more meaningful.

I believe it was on the headlines of all newspaper, I'm not quite sure of that. However, I'm sure that it is a news big enough to be on the headlines and it SHOULD be.

To think that its quite terrible for such thing to happen and it happened TWICE.

Donations will get lesser and lesser each time this kind of thing happens. I'm think that the total amount of donations collected will be reduced AGAIN. Do most of us human succumb to sin? Or specifically in this case, GREED.

Well, I admit that I am greedy at times(everyone is) but can't people just think before they act. Ok, it may sound like an irony cause I do have flaws and here I am talking like a saint but I have to give my opinion.

Knowing that your actions will have a BIG consequence, you should at least think ONCE before you act. If that consequence affects you and ONLY YOU, it's not tat bad(still bad). HOWEVER, in this particular case, THOUSANDS of other people have to bear the consequences with you(correct me if I'm wrong). I think I should stop here in case I say anything I shouldn't say.

On a sidenote, I'VE FINISHED MY FIRST TASK. HIP HIP HOORAY.

I'm like the only one left maintaining this blog and I will try my best to keep it alive. For the next 14 weeks, YOU PEOPLE(not sure if anyone still reads) will have to see me ranting about my boring weekdays.

Summary of today: FINALLY COMPLETED REGISTRATION. REALLY A HUGE RELIEF. I would say 99% completed. Left a bit of touching up to do. However, I have a bad feeling that we have to do the similiar thing again at some time which I don't really like. Coding sucks to the MAX. Hope I don't have to touch that again.

Task 2 here I come. From the paper it looks easy but I've learnt my lesson. Never underestimate tasks given to you. Overview of a project may look simple but after listening to the requirements and fully understanding the scope, GG. Thats all I have to say.

Time passes by quite quickly for today. Hope it will be the same for tomorrow. I will be tortured if time crawls slower than a snail.

I was thinking why don't we(C138G) have sort of a class gathering every friday. Its not a good thing if we don't see each other for 14 weeks. Once per week should be fine for everyone especially I think all of us don't have to work on a Saturday. This is just a suggestion though. Comments can be made by tagging BUT STRICTLY NO FLOODING BY LAMER(S).

Well. I'm still alive after the 1st week of SIP. Not a bad start. Although the stress has been reduced, it is still there. AND I DEFINITELY DON'T LIKE THE FEELING. Another strange feeling is "embeded" inside me. I don't know how to explain. It is also regarding my SIP(Don't think too much).

To sum it all, I think the cause of all these is that my 抗压性不高. I'm a rather weak person. I don't have the courage to face problems and I am not able to deal with them properly. I hope that things would go more smoothly for me in the rest of the 14 weeks.

Also hope that this 15 weeks of SIP will benefit me in different ways.

Only 4 days out of my 75 days of SIP, I can already feel the stress. First task given to me and I'm already facing so much difficulty doing it. It's not that the company is giving me alot of work to do. In fact, I would rather be given more work which I am capable of doing than to lesser work which I AM CLUELESS AT. At least, with more work, I am able to do and do and do and the time passes so quickly. Don't even have time to be distracted. Whereas the other scenario, which is sadly what I'm facing now, I have to search for information, stare at the computer resulting in feeling stress.

I really want to discuss to my LO about this. I know he can't help and I know I am weak(MENTALLY ONLY) in considering to even quit my current SIP and wait for 4.1 to come. A waste of money and time, especially when there is 2 years of NS.

Didn't expect coding to my into my life. I was thinking sort of a edit pictures or even admin work type of job. CODING? COME ON DUN JOKE AROUND WITH ME

I was trying not to think about work after working hours but I just can't help it. Thinking of not fulfilling exepectations and not knowing how to do just makes me feel even more stress and depress than ever. I had never felt like this before. Not even 30 days before O lvls or 2 weeks left before any of my project submisson. This is by far the worst I ever felt.

Just had a small chit-chating session on msn. A group conversation. Some of them were in almost/same situation as me, while some were luckier (you know who you are). They told me to relax but I can't. I dunno why. This assignment just would not get out of my mind. Well, I thought I will be less stress by venting all my feelings into text here. BUT I GUESS IT FAILED. Shall sleep now. Feel tired everyday probably not used to the early working hours. Sleeping is my best hobby now. MIND IS FREE OF EVIL THOUGHTS

I realise I love you.. Dearest A.W.

我觉得用华文来表达我想说的话比较适合。相信大家都知道四川地震已经发生好一段时间了。据我所知，很多国家例如香港，台湾和新加坡都不遗余力地帮忙。各国都有举办大大小小的慈善晚会。很多艺人以及民众也捐了不少钱。

钱，绝对能帮助四川的人民重新盖起他们的家园，也绝对能填饱他们的肚子。但是这些只能满足他们身体上的需要。那他们的心灵呢?我们有如何帮他们?

在八频道播出的慈善节目，我看到也听到许多关于四川的情形。惨不忍睹。非常多人受伤以及去世。有妈妈失去小孩也有小孩失去妈妈。也听说了，有一位妈妈为了保护自己的孩子，竟然把孩子紧紧的包在怀里而想用自己的身躯挡住巨大的石头。孩子得救了，但是妈妈却被压死了。

金钱对他们来说得却非常的重要，不过，我觉得他们现在最需要的就是爱与关怀。爱是活着的动力。不过对于这点，我也不能做什么。希望在那里的人，都能把爱传达给每一个受害者，尤其是那些连发生什么事都不知道的婴儿们。也希望四川的人民能够感受到我们大家的爱心以及关怀，也要相信“人间有爱”这四个子。

我觉得写得好烂。不过我心里的感触很多，只是不知道怎么用言语来表达。希望四川能够尽快恢复成原来的模样。

It has been a long time since I typed anything here. Its not that I have nothing to write, just that I'm lazy.

I was in game yesterday and out of nowhere, my friend asked me "Gab, what are your goals". I was stunned. 2 reasons - I did not know and the person who asked me this question. I replied that I don't know and I asked him for his. He act cute and said "Don't want tell you, I shy". DOTZ.

After much thinking, I think my goals revolves around family and not career. I serious don't know what skills I have. Maybe I will just be an office boy. However, I have made some plans for the future and you guys(yeah you, don't have to turn and look back) have the honoured to know them.

Case study 1 - If I were to remain single throughout my whole life, I hope to die at around 50+. I seriously don't mind dying at such a young age. I am someone who cannot stand loneliness especially when I'm old. 50+ is quite a good age to die if I'm single. Whether I'm rich or not, I will donate all my inheritence to the needy(initially only to orphanages). If I don't have much money I will just donate to 1 organization - ORPHANAGE.

Cast study 2 - If I were to "heng heng" find a wife that fulfills my requirements(Fillial, Understanding, Good if knows how to cook, Willing to do housework together, Kan de shun yan), I would like to die at an older age for eg. 70. I want to die before her(a must =x). Donate 50% of my inheritence to the needy(Depending on some factors).

These are the 2 case studies I have made.

This post shall be the sample article that I am going to write to DotASG for my application to be the writer. =)

Review on Changes Regarding Kelen's Dagger and Its Substitutes

Kelen's Dagger - or previously known as Kelen's Dagger of Escape, has been the talk of the DotA-community since the announcement of the change in its functionality in Version 6.51. This dispute between the players and IceFrog can be attributed to the fact that many players have used the Dagger as both an escape mechanism and a tool for starting engages. However, following the changes made by IceFrog, the Dagger not only doesn't work as an escape mechanism anymore, it also became harder for heroes to start engages using it.

From this, we can actually know that this change is going to have a great impact on the gameplay. Ganks are now conducted more effectively as opponents are unable to escape using Dagger. Not only that, heroes that require Dagger to initiate engages must ensure that they are not hit in any part of the build-up before the engage. This is to say, for example, an ES should hide in a place outside the range of any heroes or preferably, in the fog-of-war. This is to ensure that any golden opportunity to cast Echo Slam is not missed by the ES.

It is an extremely difficult task to maintain the delicate balance of keeping within blinking distance and avoiding being attack. Players now need to explore and have a more comprehensive understanding of the ever-changing terrains of the map. The fog-of-war play is now more invaluable than ever, and a successful launch of an engage from the fog could make or break any game for the players.

To further highlight the impact the change in Dagger brought about, I have noticed that players are actually using Lothar's Edge to substitute the once-reliable Dagger. Lothar's Edge grant a 9-sec Windwalk ability, which grants the user invisibility and a 10% speed boost. Heroes like SF have started using Lothar's Edge as their mean of escape and to help them sneak into positions perfect to start an engage. However, the question remains whether Lothar's Edge is the perfect substitute for Dagger.

Being invisible, it doesn't render the user the ability to teleport into the battle scene instantaneously as what a Dagger does. Invisible units can be detected by Sentry Wards or Necronomican creeps, each of which is highly possible to be featured in a draft match.

In addition, Lothar's Edge is much more expensive relative to Dagger. 4,050 gold is definitely not a small sum. Considering the fact that escape mechanisms should be bought as fast as possible to prevent early deaths, farming a Lothar's Edge requires a longer time than getting a Dagger. This, in turn, implies that the player is susceptible to more deaths while he/she is farming for the Lothar's Edge.

To add on, Lothar's Edge cost a good 1900 more gold than Dagger. Even though it grants an additional 21 damage and 21 agility points, it still doesn't justify the extra costs incurred. Furthermore, the agility-bonus doesn't really benefit strength-based heroes like Centaur and ES, therefore making little sense for them to purchase Lothar's Edge.

To summarize, the Lothar's Edge is not a perfect-substitute for Dagger. Players may be able to put it to very good use in pub games, but when it comes to draft matches, I don't think that Lothar's Edge will be able to fully replace Dagger of its functions. The additional gold needed for a Lothar's Edge and the subsequent implications that follow it can swing the game towards the opponent's favour much more than farming up for a Dagger.

The above mentioned points are illustrated as heroes tread perilously across the map with fewer means of escape and players having lesser visions of the map. Can the good-old-Dagger be replaced by Lothar's Edge? I don't think so. The call for smarter gameplay and greater vigilance is louder than before.

Hey people! After 3-weeks of MIA-ing, I have decided to take some time out and update this already-so-dead blog (it needs a new lease of life!) with the activities that I have been doing.

I am sure this will not come as a suprise to many, my vacations has came to an end two weeks ago and I have already started to attend lessons. Year 2 in polytechnic is definitely a big jump from Year 1, as could be seen by the two projects that I have on my hand currently. Not to mention the many many little things I have to do for my CCA as well, I could hardly find time for any recreational activities, much less blogging. =X (Yeah right, excuses eh? =P)

Even though the start of Year 2 has been more hectic than what I have expected, it is not totally as terrifying an experience as what it should be. I am still enjoying myself most of the time (who says work can't be associated with enjoyment?) and for some weird reason, I am always feeling contented with life nowadays. Hee.

Anyway, I read on the DotaSG forums that they are recruiting people for their writer and events coverage reporter positions. To be honest, I am actually quite interested in becoming a writer for them, considering that I have been quite involved in the competitive scene for this game a year ago. Although I am not a pro or somebody well-known in the scene, I have at least some basic understanding of the game and, I am sure, when required, I can actually write a good battle report or article on this game. In addition to that, my interest for DotA hasn't really died out. It is still burning in me, and the reason that I decided to quit gaming intensively is due to my various commitments in real life.

However, having said all that, I am still pretty unsure whether or not I am able to stay committed to that position for long. Will my passion for DotA dies out suddenly and the job then becomes a chore to me? In the face of all my commitments now, am I still able to generate two good articles on a weekly basis for the whole DotA community to read? Hmm.. That's a point to think of.

I enjoy playing DotA, even till now and I hope that I can do something for the community in return, something that will benefit them. On top of that, I would also like to gain some experiences writing articles and reports for people to read, but I am so afriad that I am unable to live up to my responsibility once I signed up for that post.

Haiyo. Such a dilemma. Hahaha. Even though it is a small problem. Aiya, never mind lahz. Slowly think through it again over the weekends.

In the meantime, hope you guys enjoy the remaining days of this week and have a fun time ahead! =)

Yawns... I am in a I-Am-About-To-Doze-Off-Anytime mood now. Argh! Today's work is really boring. =X

Anyway, had our first NYAA Residential Project Planning Committee meeting today. It was pretty successful and the group of us, to my suprise, was able to work out some of the finer details regarding the event by the end of the meeting. Hoorayy! Hahaha. It is so comforting to know that you are working with people who are both conscientious and efficient. (It just means less work for me lahz. I prefer slacking. Who doesn't? =X)

Anyway, I have a good news to share with everyone, and that is I am going to be in the same GEMS class as Cynthia. HIP-HIP HOORAYY!! Of course, all the credits must be given to her as she was the one who registered the GEMS class for the both of us. (Although I did play a part by encouraging her. So 1% of the credits, maybe? =P) Hee. But I am so elated when I learnt of the news that she had successfully registered to be in the same class as me. Wheets~!

Hmm.. Since I have nothing much to update about also, I shall continue to clear my "debts" of the movie reviews which I promised. So here it goes..

10,000 BC: Really, if only the show was half as exciting as the trailer, I would have given it the thumbs-up and recommend this show to everybody. Unfortunately, when you compare the 2-mins trailer with the 96-mins show, the show just couldn't make the cut. Recognise those mammoths and the sabre-tooth tiger from the trailer? THE SHOCKING THING IS, THEY DIDN'T EVEN MAKE OUT 1/3 OF THE SHOW. AND TO ADD ON TO MY DISAPPOINTMENT, 10,000 BC WAS MORE OF A ROMANCE THAN A THRILLER. The whole story was actually about the male-lead trying to save his beloved, who was killed in the end and was revived soon after some miraculous work by the witch of the tribe. Congrats son, you have just produced the most touching show ever in the history of mankind. -.- Ratings: 2 stars /5 stars

Rule #1: Woah! This movie is horrendously scary. The fact that it is an Asian horror film means that it is pretty unique from the rest of the horror shows that the general movie-goers crowd has been in touch with lately (Japanese, English, Thai horrors are roaming the theatres, isn't it?). Quite freaky, with a good twist towards the end of the show. I like the twist. =D Just a bonus point for those patriotic people out there, the show actually features Fiona Xie, our very own local celebrity! Hee. Ratings: 4 stars / 5 stars

That shall be all for today. Till the next post, good bye!

Movie reviews, as promised. =)

Step Up 2: The story goes like this. A girl from a certain dance crew (They call themselves 410) which roams the streets doing all sorts of dance (Looks to me like hip-hop dance, floor dancing, I don't know. Not very familiar with dance myself. =P) was kicked out from the crew after enrolling into a high school. Consequently, with the help of the male lead in the show, she decided to form a new crew to challenge 410, which has been dominating the streets for years. As her crew consisted of what many would consider them as "nerds", they were despised by those who ruled the streets and a number of them even denied them of a chance to dance in the streets. However, as the ending of the show approaches, the female lead finally said some very inspiring words to the crowd and put up a very good performance, together with her crew, to snatch the crown away from 410.

Very inspiring story and there wasn't any moment in that show which was too long-winded or boring. I like the dances put up by the actors and actresses. They are very advance dance techniques (at least to me) and it showed the amount of effort each and everyone of the cast put in to master the dance moves. Overall, a good movie worth recommending to people who just want to catch a show and chill out in the cinema. A must-watch for people who are into dance. =) Ratings: 4½ stars / 5 stars

This activity happened on wednesday.. Poor me had to woke up at 8am(damn early la).. Took train to habourfront to meet them.. The few of us decided to occupy our stomach at a nearby coffeeshop before heading to our destination - SENTOSA.. Luckily it didn't rain that day, in fact, it was very hot..

Not many pretty babes there, maybe because it was a weekday.. Oh well, as a very decent and innocent individual, this does not disappoint me.. Actually we didn't do much. Some of us played basketball and some went to play in the water.. As I did not have an extra underwear, I decided to keep myself dry.. We spent the whole afternoon relaxing in Sentosa before aheading to Superdog at Vivo for our dinner.. Beautrice met up with us just for the dinner.. Desserts are good after dinner so all of us went to candy empire(only a few of them bought something though).. Time check: 18:25.. Although its still quite early, all of us agreed to go home as we were all very tired..

Hohoho! People, I am back to blog! (Like FINALLY?!) Hee. I just finished my DotA games and as usual, I lost both rounds. =( Lol. I think the DotA standard is rising rapidly, leaving me lagging behind the others. But o'well, since I quitted competitive gaming, I have sort of expected this to happen also. Just that it happened sooner than I expected... =X

Okay, I know I haven't been updating for like @$%& years already. My apologies for the lack of update. However, as for today's post, I shall reveal to you guys what are some of the things that I have been working on the past couple of weeks. Enjoy. =)

Farewell Party Proposal

This is the one-thing in my mind that is causing me so much headache. We started planning the Farewell Party since December, and to be truthful, the event has not been confirmed yet. The delay is due to several reasons, one of which is because of the ineptitude of the planning committee itself. Cynthia and I went to hand in the proposal yesterday, only to get rejected by our Officer-in-Charge. It is usually not easy to get approvals, much less now, when the Anniversary and tentative Farewell Party event are to be held within such a short period of time.

Outings

Ahah! This is the activity that I have been involved in every other day. Outings are enjoyable, especially with her. Movies, dinners, chit-chat and K-Box sessions, shopping... Woah, it's amazing to find out that one can do so many things outside. And I am going out again tomorrow, to Zhi Hao's place for a small reunion of the 3-Musketeers in my primary school days. =P

Tuition Sessions

Yup guys, I am giving tuition to a student (It's her sister actually. Name: Jocelyn). She is studying in Secondary 2 this year, and I am suppose to teach her Chinese, Maths and Science. Of course, me being the versatile me, is also well-versed in Geography and History. Therefore, whenever she has questions regarding those humanities subjects, she is also allowed to ask me. =) Don't be suprised dudes, a tuition session can take up 1 whole day! (Actually it's not so long, but well, travelling-time, preparation time, dilly-dallying time, they do take up time right? =P)

Hee. That's about all people. Due to the fact that I have been watching a lot of movies recently, I think I will write my very own movie reviews soon. Stay tune for them!

Movies that I have caught: 10,000BC, Sky of Love, Rule #1 and Step Up 2. If you guys can't wait and feel like watching a movie soon, Step Up 2 is the movie to go! Strongly recommended!

"Incoming" movies: Horton Hears A Who and The Spiderwick Chronicles. =D

It's been real LONG since I've updated. Shall do it now ^^.

Will briefly described what happened during these past few days.. Keyword = "briefly"

Tuesday
K-Boxing with ln, Kevin and alvin at suntec. Ln, Kevin and Me met at 1.30pm whereas Alvin came later as he had matters to attend to. 4 people may seem to be very little, but the fun we had was comparable to that of at least 10. After singing our throats out, we went home for dinner as someone wants to save money(dotz).

Saturday
Reason for jumping straight to saturday is because I was rotting at home from Wednesday - Friday. Activities only happened at night. 9 of us gathered at TP(suppose to be 10 though) for Beautrice's concert. She was involved in a dance concert so Me, Alaric, Ln, Alvin, Wm, Kenny, Yh, Kaye and Lq was there supporting her. The only thing I will say about the concert is, modern dance is definitely not the thing for me. I prefer face pace dancing.

After the concert, the few of us decided to EAT. Cine was the venue, Pastamania was the place. Kc was supposed to be watching the concert but he LOST his ticket(another dotz). Surprisingly, he came down even though it's quite late. There is no answer to why he was willing to come down but there are some speculations going on.

Knowing that we would miss the last bus, we decided to catch a late night movie in Cine. Step Up 2 was the choice. While watching the movie, I wasn't feeling tired. Maybe it's because of the content and the music of the movie.

After movie-ing, some of us decided to go home while others are staying for the morning train. Feeling tired I supposed, Alvin then took a NR home where as Yh and Alaric took a taxi home. The others, consisting of Me, Ln, Kenny, Kc, Wm and Kaye, decided to stay back and chit-chat while waiting for the morning train. Reached home at around 7 and slept at 8.30.

Sunday
Rot, Soccer.

Before I end this post, I need to do something to save my reputation. Viewers may see similar or even the same picture that is shown below. It may seem that I'm picking my nose in public but the truth and ONLY THE TRUTH is shown in this blog:

Hey all! Since I have nothing better to do now, I shall blog. (Don't be too excited or. =P)

Been pretty busy over this few days with today being the only exception as I stayed at home till evening time, when I had to go for work. Super boring day, so I shan't elaborate much on it.

Okay, since I am here, I shall write my very own movie reviews, alright? =)

The Eye: Attention-Grabbing-Point of the whole movie undoubtedly would be the Female Lead Actress, Jessica Alba. This movie, though adapted from the Chinese film, The Eye (same title), is in every sense too similar to be of anything new to me whom is an audience. I won't recommend this show to people who have already watched the Chinese version of it. Rating: 2½ stars/ 5 stars.

Death Note Spin Off - L Change The World: Despite the hype surrounding this movie before it was screened, it turned out to be a show which was worse than its two predecessors, Death Note 1 and 2. Having said that however, I am not implying that this movie is not good. It is still a good show, with a decent storyline and nice acting but well, I just think that it didn't live up to its expectations. Rating: 3½ stars/ 5 stars

P.S I Love You: Nice movie. I believe that the book must have been well-written as well, such that the plot, the characters and the entire setting of the story blend in so well together. As what Gabriel had said, it was really touching. Only imperfection of the show was that it was a little too draggy. But overall, good film. =) Rating: 4 stars/ 5 stars.

More movies coming up (Not in any particular order): The Leap Years, Juno, 10,000 BC and The Water Horse: Legend Of The Deep.

Woah! I have been bombarded by news of a terrorist escape since morning and after browsing through the online forums and newspapers, I have more or less formed my own opinions regarding this issue.

Inefficient government - First, the huge difference in Budget Calculation and now, the escape of a high-profile terrorist in Singapore. Let me remind you that the government predicted a $0.7b Budget Deficit initially, which led to the increase in the GST-rate and consequently, the rise in our cost-of-living. If you have been following the news recently, inflation rate in Singapore has reached an all-time high since the 1980s, and who knows when it is going to start falling. At the end of FY2007, the government collected $6.25b Budget SURPLUS. And now, they are giving the citizens all kinds of rebates and benefits to pacify us, for their mistake? Pardon me for being bold and blunt here, but what good use are those rebates and tax-reliefs if the cost-of-living is rising with every passing month/quarter/year? Can anyone assure us that those benefits will last us through next year, the year after next and the many more years to come? The impact of rising costs is going to stay, but who can say that the same applies for the benefits that our government is providing for us now?

Escape of a high-profile terrorist in our dentention camp proves only one thing: That the people claiming their salaries from the tax pool aren't doing their jobs well enough. Million-dollar salaries paid out to individuals every year, yet they can't even keep a limp person under detain? What happened to our world-class security, world-class government? And they even have the cheek to peg their salaries against those highly-paid officials working in banks and investment firms? Is this a joke or what? It's not in me to add fuel to the flame but the government's incompetency lately is really worrying. We may be a small dot on the world map, but we need no less good governance than what other countries do. High-ranking officials working in banks are sacked when they made a wrong decision or caused the bank to suffer significant losses. They do not sack the secretaries, the accountants or the front-desk staffs. In contrast, whenever something goes wrong here (in this area particularly), it is always the people at the ground level who are blamed. I so want a job that gets me a high pay, is a solid rice bowl that won't be shattered easily, and the job-scope is to bullshit only. Talk about scapegoats. Double-standards, anyone?

Okay, so much for flaming. Readers, you have been informed. A terrorist is at large now. Take care of your own safety and take extra precautions. However, do not let this affect your life too much. The main objective of terrorists is to instill fear among all of us and if we allow that to happen, we will be falling into their traps.

Enjoy life.

While waiting for her to come online, I thought about you guys out there and decided to post something short, just to update you guys. Hee. (Am thoughtful or? =X)

I went to Parco Bugis Junction today with Zhi Hao, Gabriel, Joseph and Pang to shop around and kill time. At around 7.00pm though, I left them for VivoCity and reached there at around 7.30pm.

Had my dinner at HabourFront Hawker Centre and went to Ben and Jerry for dessert. =) Sweet sweet ice-cream.

Time passed at the speed of light and before I knew it, it was already 9.30pm. Sent her home and finally, here I'm, blogging about the things I did. Hee.

Sweet.

TODAY, MARKS THE END OF 2.2, UNLESS, I FAILED ANY OF MY MODULES. SONG LA.

As today is the last day of the semester, my class decided to celebrate by watching a movie and have dinner together. In the morning, we had our last "presentation" for our DBMM. It was not really a presentation as the teacher asked us to add in new features BEFORE we can leave.

The 11 of us decided to watch "P.S I Love You" at The Cathay. Timing was 4.35. It wasnt a rush for us as we had 2 hours of time.

The movie overall was, very nice despite the fact that 4 out of 11 of us slept during the movie. would have sleep halfway through the movie if not for the storyline. The story was really great. Touching and romantic. A must watch for couple *coughs hong de coughs*. 3 of the girls cried. I admit that i was touched by the movie but crying is a little bit kua zhang.

After movie we had our filling dinner at Billy Bombers. THATS ALL FOR TODAY, TIME TO OWN SOME NOOBS ;D.

Hello people! Am back to blog again! Hohoho~

Before I start off, I would like to thank everyone whom has offered their well-wishes and heartiest congratulations to both Cynthia and I. They include Gabriel, Zhi Hao, Damien, Wei Keong, Calister, Yu Wei, Pammy, Cheryl, Kun Loong, Benjamin and of course, Joseph (Don't scold me hor, I got remember. Lol!).

Yup. Moving on, I shall recount to you guys what I did yesterday.

Woke up at 9.15am to prepare for the "Journey to the West". I mean it, literally, as I went to Boon Lay. =X Arranged to meet Zhi Hao on the train at 10.30am but as usual, he was late. Took the train at around 10.45am and happened to bump into Mei Xiao. Lol. She was reading a book and looked quite lost. Talked to her a bit and managed to know that she's meeting the girls for yet another K-Box session at Marina Square (I bet the K-Box there 'cui' liao. =X).

So after that, I was in a half-sleep-half-awake state of condition on the train. Met Cynthia at Boon Lay Mrt Station and the three of us went around looking for the Student Care Centre. That was the ultimate goal for the day, something which the three of us didn't manage to achieve. =X

Found an Infant and Child Care Centre at the location which we thought was the correct one. Blur us didn't have any idea that that was a childcare centre and stupidly went up and asked for the supervisor.

Me: Excuse me, we are here to help out as volunteers...

The Teacher: I'm sorry but our supervisor is not at her desk at the moment. She will be back at around 3pm. Would you mind leaving behind your contact so that I can ask her to contact you guys again when she's back?

So we left behind our contact numbers and went to shop at Jurong Point till 2.30pm before going back to the centre.

Me: Excuse me, we are looking for the supervisor.

A woman came out and attended to us. Apparently, she is the supervisor. So after some exchange of words, she said...

"We're an Infant and Child Care Centre..." I missed out on the remaining part of her sentence as I was too stunned to do anything else.

So after hearing that, we thought that it was best for us to re-group ourselves before time runs out. Asked Zhi Hao to call somebody to seek clearer instructions regarding the place and thereafter, there was no returning back. The instructions I received from Zhi Hao was vague like nothing on Earth and we went on a wild goose chase with him for another one hour plus. Finally, after some god-worked miracle, we arrived at the doorstep of the place which we are suppose to find. Same thing occured (the person-in-charge was not there) and we left behind our contacts.

After that, Zhi Hao left for home while the both of us stayed at Jurong Point to watch Jumper. Not a bad movie but it was a bit too draggy. The ending part was thrilling as the main lead did a dangerous stunt. Woah. Shan't spoil too much for you guys eh? Hee.

Went to dine at Sakae Sushi after the movie and saw her home. =)

At home. God-Like Zhi Hao broke the God-Like news to me. The place that we thought we had found was the wrong one! So, in conclusion, we found nothing. YES, AFTER %$*&*& HOURS OF WALKING AND TREKKING AND RUBBISHING AROUND WITH ZHI HAO, WE FOUND NOTHING! Lol. Okayy, that's a bit of a rant but well, argh! Hahaha! But okayy lahz, since she's there with me also. Sorry Zhi Hao. =X

Alright. That's all folks! Stay tuned for the next post!

Well.. As seen from the previous post, our little boy HD has grown up. Time passes so fast *weeps*. OK. Shall stop crapping

Im here to give my congrats to the new couple. *Clap Clap*.

To HD: Congrats. You are the 1st among the 3 to finally become a true man. Your courage is admirable and your efforts have paid off. Truthfully speaking, Im VERY VERY jealous of you. I do not know hows she's like, but I believe you have found yourself a good girl. Couples WILL have small quarrels so as a GUY, be more forgiving. ^^. Finally, I speculate that you will be more MIA than usual, but its normal.

To ZH: Slowly wait ba. Bo bian.

This post is written to show my gratitude towards the people whom have rendered me their help and given me advices when I needed it the most. Thank you all.

Damien - Thank you for your wishes and all the things that you have done. I appreciate them a lot. Hope that you will be able to sort out your thinking soon and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Calister - Thank you for your advices, your suggestions and your helpfulness. =) May your relationship with Barley goes on a upward slope from here onwards. All the best!

Zhi Hao and Gabriel - Thank you both for being there whenever I needed someone to hear my troubles. I am looking forward to the successes of you guys too. No pressure though. Slowly bahx, let Nature takes its course.

Wei Keong - Big big lamer deserves a big big thank you. You have let me learnt a lot from you. Your meticulousity really impresses me and your take on relationship earns my respect. Your theory: "A relationship is never about one person." will remain on my mind forever. I owe you one, dude. Thank you for your advices, guidance and help. Hope that you will find your Ms. Right soon. Stay cheerful.

After thanking all the people, I still have another person whom I feel I owe an apology to.

Cynthia - Sorry for doubting your sincerity. I was really being foolish and did something that have hurt you. I am really really sorry about it. I know no amount of apologies can reduce the damage I have caused but I can't think of what else to say. So sorry about it. And thank you so much, for forgiving my foolishness. I can assure you that I shall do my best to ensure that what happened yesterday would be the first and last hiccup between us. I'm sorry.

Happy Belated Valentine's Day Everyone!

Hope you guys have enjoyed that special day with somebody special in your mind. =)

Yesterday was the happiest day I ever had in my 17 years of life. Woke up at 8.45am so that I could go to Marina Square to get the tickets to the movies. Reached Marina Sqaure at around 10.30am and realised that the theatres there are not showing P.S I Love You (It's suppose to be aired yesterday). Aww.. Settled on CJ7 then and never regretted the choice. Hahaha.

After buying the tickets, I went home to get a bit of rest before setting out again to BB interchange at 1.30pm. Though it sounds crazy (from Aljunied to BB), the journey itself was not long actually. It took me just nice an hour to reach there. Hee. Yea, from there, we boarded 106 and headed towards our destination.

As we were there before our movie started, we walked around Marina Sqaure (with me leading Sotong-her along =D) and chatted as we shopped. Hahaha. Sotong-her almost knocked into other people on at least three occassions and it was the vigilant me whom managed to divert the "disaster" away. Hahaha! So proud of myself! Lalala~

So, when it was finally time for our movie, I bought the "Combo of the Week" from the snacks bar and went into the theatre with her. Then, something bad happened...

Because of the way that I was holding the cup of drink, it slipped out of my hand and spilled onto my seat in the theatre. Luckily, and very fortunately, the other female-stranger who was sitting next to me wasn't drenched by the drink. Should I be one-step slower, or even half a step slower, I would be blogging about this from the hospital already. =X Hahaha! So, after getting stunned for like 3 seconds, I asked for some tissue papers from Sotong-her and cleared up the mess before finally soaking my backside into it. But okayy lahz, good thing sotong-her got bring tissue paper. If not, my butt would have drank at least 50ml of lemon tea during the movie. =X

Heh. After the movies, we went to have our dinner at Cafe Cartel. Both of us ate the fish and chips set meal. It was full full full full full for me! The serving was HUGE! Hahaha!

As we were enjoying ourselves as we dine, we didn't actually take note of the time, which on that day, seems to be speeding or at least, in a hurry. So we left Cafe Cartel at around 9pm and I saw her home (Okay, it was actually to the bus-interchange). The last activity of the day was the exchange of gifts at the bus-interchange. We sat down on a marble bench and chatted as we revealed our gifts to one another.

Her bus finally came and after seeing her sitting safely on the bus, I took my leave and walked towards BB's Mrt Station.

End. =)

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Hee. Although the wishes came a bit later than the original date, it is nevertheless, the warmest greetings I would like to say to all my very loyal readers out there! =) Hope you guys had a great time catching up with your relatives and enjoying yourselves during this festive occassion.

Woah. Shall update you guys about the things I did yesterday bahx. I woke up at 12pm yesterday! *Applause* Haha! It's the latest Lunar New Year for me in my entire 17 (8) years of life as I was feeling kind of lethargic on that morning. =X So after waking up, I went to brush my teeth and prepare myself for the activities that were about to unfold on that day.

My Grandma was the first person to hear my greetings. Received the Ang Pow from her and went on to entertain some of the guests. I did something brave though. For the first time in my memory, I didn't send my greetings to my aunt and uncle, both of whom are the siblings of my dad. Hee. Anyway, went to my Granddad's place (Mother's side) shortly after that and received more Ang Pows.

Last destination of the day was my uncle's place, which is located at the Bedok area. Sat there and watched the people there play mahjong and cards. I didn't play though. I don't usually gamble, you see. Haha. So after that, my aunt and another uncle of mine decided to watch a movie, and so we settled for Ah Long Pte Ltd. Venue: Princess Theatre

A very funny movie I would say. However the style was pretty much a replica of Law by Law, which in my opinion, was not-that-great. Hmm.. I like Mark Lee though, as in, admire him for his capabilities. He's truly a very gifted artist. =)

Okay. I shall end here for today. Good night everyone! Enjoy the next 2 days of holidays and take care of yourselves!

Hey guys, it has been a long time since I blogged from my laptop! Hee. Cause I am watching Jay Chou's World Tour Concert in Taipei now and I want to chat online, so yep, brought my laptop out to the living room to watch-blog-chat multi-task everything at the same time.

Hmm.. Today's the Lunar New Year's Eve. I went back to my secondary school in the morning to visit my teachers and of course, to catch up with my ex-schoolmates. It was already 11am in the morning when I finally reached school, and the rest of my ex-classmates were in the hall, participating in the celebrations with the students and teachers. Met up with them when they were leaving the hall and went to the open-area next to the hall and chatted while waiting for the rest.

After they had arrived, we went for lunch at Hougang Festival Mall (previously known as Hougang Point). Although the duration of our meet-up was very short, we talked quite a bit and it was comforting to know that everyone in 403`06 were getting along with their lives so well and are happy with it.

Reached home at around 3.30pm and went for a quick swim at my nearby swimming complex with Zhi Hao and Gabriel. It was already evening time before we knew it and we took our leave, with Gabriel going back to his Grandma's place while Zhi Hao and I went up to my house.

Had my Reunion Dinner with Zhi Hao for the first time (he had his yesterday). Talked a bit, and he returned to his place at around 8.30-9pm. For me, I continued watching the television programmes Mediacorp has prepared for us. =)

That's all for today folks. Before I end it off, I would like to wish all of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR and may everything goes well for everyone this year! Lalala~

Long time no see. Very busy these few weeks. It will be busier though for the next 2 weeks. One word to describe - HELL. So little time yet so many things to complete. I'm not even sure if I am able to complete my assignments in time. Even if I'm able to complete them, I'm not sure if I will be able to pass all my modules. HAIZ. This is life, never ending worries. After 2 more weeks, FREEDOM. As free as a dove.

Hey all! You guys must be glad that I am updating my blog so frequently right? =P Hee.. Anyway, my fellow shareholders are not making any contributions lately. Can anyone of you stand up and ask them to start posting? =X Hahaha.

Went out with the bunch of them yesterday (the bunch consisted of Gabriel, Zhi Hao and Jonas) to get clothes for the New Year. Holy Zhi Hao brought about $80 out, thinking that it would be enough to pay for a pair of jeans and his lunch + dinner at VivoCity. Lol.

Anyway, he bought a his pair of jeans from TopMan (ironic cuz he isn't a man and even if he is, he is not at the top of anything =P) while I bought a long-sleeve formal shirt there. Burned $60 (Rounded-up figure) for me while it cost him $73. Woohoo, this means that the holy man is in debt (turned out that he had $70 in his wallet only) after purchasing his jeans.

Walked around Vivo aimlessly before settling down at Secret Recipe to have our lunch/teabreak (Gabriel predicted that he would faint in another 5 more minutes if he continued walking). As usual, ordered the Chocolate Banana Cake (I can reveal it now), Mashed Potato and Noodle in Thai Tom Yum Chicken. Super yummy! Hehe. Things didn't go that well for poor Jonas though. He waited for at least 45 mins for his Grilled Chicken. =X Aww..

After lunch/teabreak, we went to Spain (it's a shop) under Gabriel's imbalanced leadership. He bought a shirt which resembles those wore by Luo Zhi Xiang and we were teasing him about the shirt. Had some fun there before he finally settled the payment amounting to $60 also.

Lalala~ Our hunt for new clothing brought us to Esprit. Holy MaMa. Happened to chance upon a *navy-green* bermudas and a black long-sleeve shirt which I thought was pretty compatible when worn together. Both items totalled up to $110. As I was still $40 short of becoming the member, I urged Gabriel to buy another piece of clothing there to allow the sum to exceed $150. He gladly obliged and bought a collared-shirt which I thought was good for him. Heh.

Following that, we went to Long John Silver to have our dinner. Stayed there till 9pm before walking around aimlessly again. Finally decided that the night was no longer young and trained home from HabourFront.

End.

"Pit-pat, pit-pat."

I stood watching as the petals of rain hit hard against my window pane. The dark clouds in the sky hovered perilously and everything around me was unusually silent. I had just returned from my friend's place...

Yesterday was the last day of examinations for my class. This occassion, which is supposed to be a joyous one, was marred by the fact that it was the also the last day my class could assemble together under the name "DBF/1B/08".

So after the paper, we went to have our dinner at the Singpost in Paya Lebar. Chatted a lot while eating and stayed there for quite some time. It was already 7+pm when we reach Calister's place. Upon arriving at her house, we settled down quickly and watched our first movie of the day: The Heirloom.

Shan't go into the details of the movie but just a rough idea for you guys, it is a horror movie. So after starting the movie, Calister went to switch off the lights (to a lot of gasps and disapprovals from us) and we proceeded on to watch the movie in semi-darkness.

The movie ended at around 9pm and Benjamin switched to watch the 9pm show on Channel 8. It is a very nice show (I mean it as I tried to watch it whenever I had the chance to. =X) but I missed yesterday's episode due to an invitation by some of my friends to start a mahjong game with them. [Never mind about it, somebody updated me about the storyline yesterday. =)] Played a few rounds with them and before I know it, the hour-hand of the clock was stuck firmly between the figures "10" and "11" while the minute-hand was in the "4" to "6" region (her clock is not a digital one). The message from the clock was clear to everyone. It spelled: "HD got to go now, but he will come back later." So, Calister "showed me the door" and off I go, back to home.

Resumed the party at around 3am. Played more mahjong, watched more movies and of course, got to experience more of Wei Keong's lame-ness. =P I remember that among the movies that we watched was this "Something-Pow" show (Darn! I forgot the title of the movie). It is super Wei Keong (meaning it's both lame and funny at the same time) and it livened up the almost-dead atmosphere in the room then. Just listen to the sounds of laughter produced by Bak Kut Kun and me. Lol. It was super noisy lahz!

Time-check: 6.20am. It was finally time to leave Calister's place. I tried to hide the mixture of feelings within me at that point of time and left the place, putting on the happiest mask one could ever find.

"Ding!" The sound rang through my ears as the lift doors opened. I bade goodbye to them in the most hurried manner I could. I so wanted to ask them out for breakfast at a nearby hawker-centre, but seeing the looks of exhausation on their faces, I decided that it was best not to. I walked on.

The flash of lightning before my eyes brought me back to reality again. I sighed.

Exhausation finally had the better of me and I trudged my way back to my bedroom.

Hello all! So many things have happened over the past few days, so much so that the thinking "a day<24hours" has been on my mind since.. God knows when. Anyway, there are a few activities which took place over the past few days which I would like to highlight here.

Warning: Do not continue with an empty stomach. Fill it up first!

Woots! First write-up of the day: WeiKeong, Damien, Kun Loong and I dined at Billy Bombers in Jurong Point. Above are the pictures which I took patiently while the three of them started gorging themselves with the food at the instant it was served. (ChunkieMunkie is the ice-cream.) Had an really enjoyable time dinning with them. Some of the guys were not here because of their GEM lesson. Anyway, the bill was pretty nice as well. It cost us a whopping $107 if I didn't remember it wrongly. (Darn! I thought my voucher could be used but I was scammed! T.T)

Second write-up: Went out to revise MOB with Benjamin, WeiKeong, Damien, WeiJie and KunLoong at the Central Lending Library on Sunday. The test was on Monday, which means a lot of us were "hugging the buddha's feet". Damien left early as he wasn't feeling well. The rest of us remained behind and decided to have dinner together after finishing our revision.

After like ^%$*&^* hours of screwing around with MOB and WeiKeong (cause he's too lame), we packed up our stuffs and headed to Parco Bugis Junction to have our dinner. Benjamin suggested to have steamboat along the way, and TADAH! We settled down in this steamboat restaurant. Not that it is particularly good or unique in some way. It was because we wanted to save $1++. T.T

Stayed at that restaurant for 2½ hours. Chatted, joked and was lame-mi-fied by WeiKeong as we ate. Towards the end of the dinner, we played Zhong Ji Mi Ma. That, readers, I assure you, is the funniest part of the whole dining experience. WeiKeong chut-ed (came up with) a lot of stunts while playing the game. However, his moves were too easy to anticipate and as a result, he was forced to do 2 forfeits. ^.^ Hohoho~ *Thanks guys, for the fun time we spent together.*

Third write-up: Sat for my MOB test yesterday. I guess I made a few mistakes here and there but well, shan't think about it since it is over. CRS Argumentative Essay Writing Test on this coming Friday. Hope I won't score below a B grade for it.

My academic semester is coming to an end soon. Still have three last examination papers to sit for, all of which are the core modules this year. Statistics For Business, Economics and Principles of Accounting.. Die die must ace them. =) Until 31/01/2008 arrives, I will be mugging like.. I have never mug before? Hahaha!

Alright guys, that will be all. All the best for the people taking the upcoming examinations. Good luck, study hard, and ace the exams! =))

Hey all! Apologies regarding the lack of posts recently. Been really busy with projects and homework, some of which are still left undone as of now.

Woots! So many things have happened over these few days, so much so that I don't know where to start off. Hmm.. Shall skip the boring weekends of last week as they are all taken up by my project meetings and assignments. To Monday...

Suppose to hand in not one, not two, but THREE projects on Monday. So that explains it, doesn't it? To add to the list are those irrtating tutorials and assignments. Zzz.. Poly life ain't really that slack after all. =X

Anyway, to the main point, my group did our IDEA project presentation on Monday. Went on pretty smoothly, a few mistakes but nevertheless, our hard work paid off when the teacher told us that our idea was "nicely done". Felt so accomplished and satisfied. I mean after numberous sleepless nights, it's only fair for me to expect something out of the project right? Heh.

On a different note altogether, I realised that I haven't been doing well academically for this semester. Right, I still have some As and all, but for some of the modules, I scored really low Bs. This is a cause of worry to me. I am afraid that I won't be able to score my ideal GPA, which is >3.7. Arghh.

But it's okay. Instead of sitting down here and whine in my blog, I have decided to make it possible by doing my utmost to achieve it. Although it may be tough, I believe that through my determination, perserverance and motivation, nothing is impossible. =) *That line sounds so familiar.*

Hmm.. Alright guys, will update again when I have the time yarr? In the meanwhile, I want to urge all of you to study hard for your upcoming examinations and stay happy, as always.

They say that memories can be materialized into photos.. When she look at them, part of her memories is missing..

After 3 months and 18 days of courting, the male had finally succeeded in capturing the heart of the female. Terry and Maledine were meant for each other. They are both gorgeous and their characteristics match each other. Maledine has a very cute habit. She likes to record down the places that she and Terry went for a date.

Terry had never been late for a date for the past 8 months. The clock shows "3.05". He was 5 minutes late. Worried, Maledine decided to call Terry. After around 10 seconds, just when Maledine wants to hang up, there was a hoarse voice, "Sorry dear, I did not turn up because I am sick. *Cough*."

Maledine asked panicky, "What happen to you?"

Terry replied, "Don't worry. I will be fine in a few days time. Just some coughing and a slight fever."

Maledine ordered Terry to recover when she got back from Japan or else he will get it from her.

As Maledine was in Tokyo, Japan, she doesn't know whatever happened in the next 10 days.

Terry's health seems to deteriorate even with medication. He doesn't have good appetite, he sometimes feels shortness of breath. In day 3, he coughed up blood. Things doesn't seem right so Terry's parents decided to bring him to a hospital.

After telling the doctor Terry's illness, the doctor immediately asked Terry to do a chest X-ray. The doctor asked Terry and his parents to go back home and will call them once he have analyse the X-ray. In day 9, the hospital called and asked for Terry and his parents back to the hospital. The stern look on the doctor worried Terry and his parents.

Anxiously, Terry's mum asked, "What happen to Terry?"

The doctor replied in a monotone, "I'm sorry to say that your son Terry, is in the last stage of lung cancer."

The world seemed to have stop for 5 seconds. And after that 5 seconds, to Terry and his parents. especially Terry, it was doomsday. His mum broke down into tears leaning on his strong father. Terry just couldn't accept the fact that he was going to die at such a young age.

The doctor then gave another heart-breaking news, "I'm also sorry to say that Terry has only another 1-2 months to live."

At the same time, Maledine was on her way back to Singapore without knowing this cruel fact ......

IF YOU ARE HORNY, GO GEYLANG

The title seems abit wrong, but it somehow summarizes what im going to blog about today

When i was waiting for my hair to be cut, a certain headline caught my attention.. I forgot the exact words but the headline is talking about a baby was found.. It was a 2-3 months old baby.. The location was at a nearby temple if im not wrong.. The baby was found at around 5.20am.. The person who found it quickly alerted the police and the temple personels.. When the police arrived, they began to look through the CCTV.. At around 4+ am, they saw a man going to the location where the baby was found.. If i didnt remember wrongly, they cant see the man's face clearly..

There was a statistics given.. 12 babies were abandoned during the past 3 years.. 4 of them died when they were found.. Maybe you are thinking, 12 babies for 3 years, 4 babies a year isnt a lot.. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LIVES HERE.. Even if its 1 baby for 1232737398472398749283749234792837489237498237492 years, it is still not acceptable..

Lives are lost just because of this feeling called HORNINESS of a man and woman.. A man and a woman lies down side by side.. Turn to face each other and they feel hot.. Started to kiss and touch here and there.. Strip their clothes and begin to have sex.. AND HUALA.. The woman is pregnant.. Due to a moment of folly, there is a foetus inside the woman's stomach.. After knowing what they have caused, the man decides to leave the woman and the woman, decides to give birth to this baby.. After the baby is born, the woman regrets her decision and throws the baby into some rubbish bin..

So what im trying to say is, dun let a moment of HORNINESS to caused a life to come and go within a matter of months.. Or at least, HANG ON FOR A FEW BLOODY MINUTES AND GO DOWN TO THE NEAREST 7-11 OR CHEERS TO GET A FUCKING BOX OF CONDOM..

IF U REALLY CANNOT TAKE IT FOR GUYS, GO GEYLANG AND FIND A BLOODY HOOKER AND FOR THE GIRLS, GO BE ONE.. Thanks..
