footprints in the sand

beginning of the end ?

sem 3.1 has finally begun and seriously, i was anticipating it with mixed emotions. on one hand i couldn't wait for it to commence, on the other was of cuz, the perks of sleeping like there is no tomorrow. bah!

lots of loose ends to tie up admist the lectures and tutorials this sem and there's the frantic rush for sip that's on everyone's agenda these days. frankly speaking, i was rather disappointed at the variety of placements offered. till now, there isn't a single one that really caught my eye, "like die die must go" but there are a few that's like, "not bad, can try.."

the point is, for my internship, "not bad, can try.." just ain't gonna cut it.

sharks.

emptiness . void .

was hunting for my hp box when i chanced upon my barang barang box titled, well, "barang barang" in it were memories of times gone by, where the world was simpler and i was well, happier? cuz there was you.

chanced upon the letters that you would send me without fail every christmas and birthday and emotions welled up, despite me not wanting so. so how is it that we have drifted so far apart when we were practically inseparable in secondary school?

is it the fact that we are no longer in the same world, with you in jc while i went to poly?

is it the possibility that we are to busy with our lives to stop and catch up?

is it because we no longer cared?

that i can assure you is not the case, for my heart always skips a beat whenever i see your name in my inbox folder, even if its just a forward message. thanks for taking the effort in a little way to let me know that you are well and you wished me the same....

love always, my dearest fren.

thousand words .

was casually browsing through my phone the other day and realised the myraid of photos that i've taken with it over the past year and a half.. not only were the pictures fond memories of places and people, they also served as a reminder the last year and a half of my absolutely interesting (yea right.) life.. so here they are.. :P

reading leigh's blog the other day and come to a resolution that i've known it since like forever - this girl can write! one of my closest seniors.. gonna miss all those lunch dates and gossip sessions with ya during your lunch time.. how nice it was when bitching sessions was just a bus ride away from your office.. take care le girl and dun forget me! (kill you if you do.) hahas...

skol's reopening next monday, well once again, there's this dilemma of looking forward to meeting my mates again, but still, the luxury of sleeping like there's no tomorrow (trust me, i do.) is hard to forgo.

oh ya, back to the pics.. if a picture speaks a thousand words, then let them speak for themselves...

poh chin and myself.. competing to see who can have the smaller face on cam. i won this time. :P

TAS chronicles.. myself and cindy baby, with hiang trying to get outta the way..

leigh and me after the htm dnd 05.

chubs! my new beanie.. :)

auntie ann's newborn jermay.. who's a total gem.. abet a rather BIG gem.. hahas..

jermay again.. cannot believe she fell asleep on my legs just like that.. well.. guess babies will always be babies..

supergirl jerms with chubs.

in denial .

hey world.. just saw the finale of america's next top model and although i've known for months who the winner was, it was still kinda exciting watching the episode. which i confirmed my conclusion: kayleh rocks like hell and keenyah's attitude is well.. hell. hm.. though rooting for kayleh, but naima was good as well.. still, tyra is still the main attraction of the show! hahas..

went back to tas library the other day with hiang and amanda to return and borrow books.. but kena cheated by the librarian cuz she told me that it would be opened everyday but changed to mon and wed. wat the.. dotz.. oh ya, caught corpse bride too.. maybe a tat too morbid but still enjoyable nonetheless..

going out with manda, cindy baby and hiang again tomorrow to cuppage partyworld so that manda can spend her $20 voucher from stef's newest cd (i got that too but is china version so.. :P).. long time no see cindy baby le.. hahas.. we gonna catch up gal!

sidetrack but the seniors are going to dubai (leigh, fagan and company) and nelson's just came back from his stint in austria and his european hols (which i am just plain jealous of)

well, i'm still holding my own though... snuggling up to my very own rough guide to first time europe. bah!

2005-10-20T23:47:00.000+08:00

memory lane .

just dug up this practically ancient picture from the depths of my laptop. hahas.. brought me back to a time where times were nice and innocent.. hahas.. erm not saying that they aren't now.. but still, nice stroll down memory lane nonetheless..

manda, fer, glad and me indulgin in the shade that the umbrellas provide while the rest of the 46ers prepare for their captain ball board ball basket ball games for the htm olympics ( by the way, we came in 2nd for captain ball!! whoohoo!!)

2005-10-20T13:02:00.000+08:00

intermission.

heys all, sorry for the lack of updates as i've been rather busy of late.. hahas.. but thankfully, all the hive of activities have passed rather uneventfully and smoothly so i am able to update again! whoohoo!!

well, its been a while since the last update.. in that time, i went to kl and genting and back, organised the second recruitment of changi youth ambassadors, went for work and resigned, went for chalet, went to see specialist with regards to my back (which most of you would know, is hurting like crazy) among others.

in addition, i went for the mri scan, which looks like the scan for cancer patient.. :P hahas.. was lying down there and was wheeled in to the big and scary looking machine.. hahas.. sorry for being so morbit but it sorta reminded me of cremation, where you push the coffin into the erm.. hahas.. enuff.. anyways, it was a strange enough experience... the doc has got my results already, so going in to see him tomorrow morning.. haiz, hope that can get everything cured and healed asap (b4 skol reopens...)

in the mean time, after quitting at king power (airport duty free) where i had a great time, i have been sorta slacking at home, sleeping late and waking up late as well.. woah, this is life man!! :P anyways, rented lotsa vcds yesterday.. ice princess, monster in law, the ring 2, kill bill2 , constantin, millions.. hm.. movie times ahead!

going out with hiang and manda tmr! can't wait! :P

sidetrack but alicia keys rocks.. chilling out to her unplugged album now..

2005-09-12T02:54:00.000+08:00

breather.

just a short note. going to KL and genting in less than 4 hours time!! whoohoo!! hahas.. quite excited and especially bout the company, dearie mel, crazy xiu wen and the intellectual, ah hiang.. hahas.. the malaysians better watch out. (oops.)

hm.. had to settle quite some stuff but nonetheless still glad that everything's ok and done liao.. whoohoo!! hahas.. :)

and the hols are a bore after all the last min studying and non stop mugging last week.

2005-09-02T22:07:00.000+08:00

bits and pieces.

hahs. didn't know that i haven't blogged in such a long while.. so a big apology to those who read my blog (erm.. like 3pple) and here it is! the newest installment in my absolutely happening life! (yea like real.)

well guess what? yours truly finally turned 18 le.. hahas... after a lot of pacing around and waiting and waiting and waiting.. you get the pic.. anyways, it turned out that being 18 isn't such a big deal after all.. no cake, no celebrations, no presents (k was lying about the last part, but substantially lesser) haiz.. sad lo.. on the bright side.. i received tons of smses and well wishes.. so here's a big shoutout to all who remembered!

hahas.. and cuz, thanks to dearest camillus for the card.. (though i only opened it today)what more could i ask for than a fren like ya? hehe luv ya to bits!!

registered for my basic theory le! whoohoo! hahas.. downside is i still gotta have to wait till like 26th sept before i can take it.. darn! the waiting's killing me! hehe.. but bo bian lah.. wat to do??

and eat your hearts out! i'm going overseas again.. hahas.. this time with great company nonetheless.. auntie xiuwen, mel mel and ah hiang.. 5d4n somemore.. kl and genting, brace urselves cuz we are coming!! (em. that is until i figured out how much to pay and how to get the cheapest rate out of the travel agent.)

sidetrack. despite posting in a performance that is nothing short of spectacular, dear kelly still lost to that guy. argh. hate him. anyways, think she got the better deal.. prepare for world domination by kelly!! (erm a tat over liao but cannot help lah).

as you can see, amidst all the hive and activities that is going on in my life, one can forgive me for not studying during the study week when i have 4 papers to sit for next week.. which brings me to my next point.. results sucked!! coursework only 2As and got 2B+s somemore.. darn sad lo.. haiz.. but den again.. the above is just an excuse for me to not study.

its the devil in mua that's talking. hah!

2005-08-16T00:00:00.000+08:00

island life . love it !

head waiter today was a blast!! hehe.. though tough and rather unmangeable at times, i've had a great time and here's a shoutout too all that made it possible, my service team, captains and mr neo and mr joseph!! hahas. you guys rocked!

went out with lihiang to sakae for buffet lunch and throughly enjoyed myself. good food, good manager (adrian rocks) great company, what more could one ask for? hahas.. but was the part after the meal that simply blew me away.

had a lil escape..went for a walk with ah hiang on the beach and passed various points, we even went across the bridge!! whoohoo!! hehe.. nice area, next time must swim there okie! :) and laid down on the sand!! just like that.. hehe ultimate relaxation, if you exclude the sand that was sticking to ya everywhere..

also saw something that was rather provocative.. but i admire them for that.. hehe (ps, it has got to do with 2 guys, rather closely "knitted" , in the water) woah.. hehe.. sry for invading ur privacy!

beautiful pics ahead. (cuz i took them ma.. :P)

kudos to the coconut tree for shading me while i was lying down on the sand!

siloso beach rocks. big time.

looks like a promo for lost eh.. hehe nice way to say goodbye...

think this just takes the cake.. so... woah!

great day!! hehe gotta come back with ah hiang and the gang really soon!!

2005-08-06T05:40:00.000+08:00

of taking breathers and being desperate.

its been rather long since i last blogged cuz i was so caught up with stuff that i barely had the time to take a breather. well that is until yesterday, the day where service as well as the marketing and crs projects were due.. god, wat a relief.. the gang and i spent the night over at my house and worked like crazy.. hahas.. so here's a big shoutout to my baobei mel, kaili, manda and xiuwen.. we rock!!! hehe.. just a lil longer to go den we're done.. :P looking forward to living together and studying in hawaii! hahas

didn't sleep at all last night but made up for it by sleeping pretty much through the whole day today. hahas.. and i know this entry's rather "early" but i've been spending all night catching up on my dose of desperate housewives.. finished bout 8 episodes in one shot.. power ah.. hehe.. halfway through liao.. so exciting.. :P

still not rather happy with the general state of things as i've really been procrastinating these days and exams are looming.. so gosh. must buck up liao. in addition, i am still NOT happy with a certain someone that pisses me off pretty much all the time. though its bad and against morals, but when it comes to that person, to the heck with morals.. ARGH!

well i'm gonna enjoy and make the most outta my weekend break and would't let her spoil my beautiful days...

here's to my wonderful group and to being desperate..

2005-07-20T12:59:00.000+08:00

random thoughts.

a sudden revelation hit me while in the computer lab waiting for my tutorial to be printed.

some people should just keep their mouth shut ~~at the right time~~ no make that all the time. since you are late for the lecture in the morning and hence have to attend another one in the afternoon when we are doing project, jolly well apologise and dun make it as though if you have done ur research and printed it out. den everything's alright. CUZ ITS NOT.

darn it. this did NOT make my day. :(

2005-07-19T23:41:00.000+08:00

chilling out.

today ended on a rather enjoyable note and i was glad to say that i truly had fun after quite a while. went with the project gang baobei mel mel, manda, kaili, xiuwen, and xueyun to the esplanade area after bese presentation (which we did well!! hehe) for thai express and boy did we pig out! hahas.. blew about $101 in all.. woah..

after that we hopped over to mel's workplace for chocolate fondue and the al fresco area really had a great view! but sad lah, wrong company.. :P still, we had fun didn't we? laughing like crazy and totally no face in our business suits.. and boy wasn't the chocolate fondues huge? and best of all, we didnt have to pay!! hahas.. but still, feeling quite paiseh lah esp to mel mel..

well on the spur of the moment, the gang (minus manda) hopped on the river taxi from esplanade to merlion initially but changed to boat quay instead.. got to see the CBD at night and it really was a sight as we had the opportunity to look at it from a totally different and refreshing experience.. so cool!!

melmelme :P

hm.. after all the spending, feeling rather broke now.. :( hahas.. no worries, shall survive on mel mel's bian dang tmr!! free food (that is if she brings.. :P)

and to xiu.. lets not give up our hopes dear partner in arms.... YES 933/ Mediacorp/ Discovery, here we come as potential djs/news anchors/hosts!!! hahas.. jia you jia you!!

xiu xi yi xia . . . .

2005-07-17T01:49:00.000+08:00

in denial.

major HP spoilers ahead.. so if u haven read, den go read before hitting this page again.

and WHY??? why did professor dumbledore have to die????? go to hell SNAPE!!! ARGGHHHHH!!!!

2005-07-15T23:43:00.000+08:00

the big spender.

gosh. i still cannot imagine that i just blew close to $70 of my precious moolah on skincare products from basic beauty at the heerens.. toner, moisturiser, pore thightening cream plus travel size products all in a package... and a colour lotion that's a concealer, foundation, sun block and moisturiser all rolled into one. woah.. what a big spend... gosh.. so himbo.. :(

anyways we finally convinced mel to go for her musicvox audition which we all believed that she excelled in.. hahas.. you go girl!! also, met this guy called jared that is so talented that when he sings, i just wanna keep my mouth shut and not sing. like forever. yea, he is that good..

finally watched fantastic four with gene babes after quite a while, quite ok movie only, considering the fact that i didn't really have any expectations for that.. 3.5 outta 5?? hehe..

i preordered harry potter!!!! whoohoo!! hahas.. gonna get it tomorrow.. hehe so excited!! :P can't wait..

2005-07-06T00:10:00.000+08:00

the awakening.

seriously, i have come to the point that i have no idea what i have been doing for the past sem. time just flew by and i do realise that there is a urgent and pressing need for me to buck up on my studies and project to do as well, if not better than last sem. haven't been doing well in the online quizzes and really, i mean.. must do well lah!! ah bish! gosh. that is bad... -shakes head- must start cheonging.. like now.. HAIZ..

random thoughts...

went singing with mel and xiu and kai li the other day.. or rather, went to a concert.. hehe.. with mel as the star.. this girl really can sing man.. woah... haiz, i'm ashamed of myself.. must learn!! den can sing better with her next time.. hehe..

wanna watch shows again! fantastic four anyone? anyways this summer like not a lot of nice shows leh.. hm... money money money!!!!

hope CYA is gonna continue and meeting ms quah soon to discuss its prospects.. -keeping fingers crossed..-

and did i mention that mel is a really really really good singer? whoohoo!! go girl!!

2005-07-04T01:27:00.000+08:00

independence day.

tmr's the 4th july, a day when americans celebrate their freedom, their country, their love, which basically means nothing to me. hah. well seeing that 4th july is also the first day of my hols, hm.. maybe it does mean something.. wateva.. hahas..

wanted to go to bangkok with mel, amanda xiuwen and some and even got it down to the fine details, like flight and hotel.. haiz.. but really should have considered the timing and its appropriateness for now isn't really like a good time to go celebrate when there's nothing to be joyful for.. so at the advice of my everknowing mom, i've decided to work at her office, bering her secretary, as though i haven't got enough of paperwork. haiz.. but the pay's good, hours' flexible and considering that i get $400 for less than 10days of work, i'm not complaining.. I NEED THE MOOLAH!! hahas..

also, recently i've felt the urge to work part-time, partly also because half the school's like working on sentosa but i'm NOT gonna work there, though the guys at sky tower think that i'm perfect for fort siloso tram host... -.-'' i'm not. though i'm rather tempted by the pay -$7/hour.. hm.. hahas.. but still, wanna work in the airport... :( so gonna be calling a no that annqi gave me.. try working at times newslink? cool!! got books somemore! and flexible hours! i'm smitten. :P

quite a lotta stuff to do duing the break also, ig meetings, bus graduation, and have to contact CYAs for the award ceremony next wed.. hm.. busy busy.. but got more seal points.. and can get work done during my stint at mom's office.. hehe.. talk about killing 2 birds with one stone. that's a lotta birds that i can kill.. hehe..

IAN!! if you are reading this, better come back from perth during ur break to see me!! and buy aussie stuff ok? missed ya loads! (or rather, miss the things that u are gonna bring for me..)

haiz, realised that lotsa pple around me are either happily in love, or are falling in love.. EXCEPT ME.. why why why??? hahas.. but still will be strong! and continue to find solace in nora roberts and nicholas sparks.. :P, gosh i'm such a sucker...

sometimes love just ain't enough - stefanie sun

I don't want to lose you
but I don't want to use you
just to have somebody by my side.

And I don't want to hate you,
I don't want to take you
but I don't want to be the one to cry.

And that don't really matter to anyone anymore.
But like a fool I keep losing my place and
I keep seeing you walk through that door.

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much,
and it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust.
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are.
Baby, sometimes, love just aint enough.

Now, I could never change you
I don't want to blame you.
Baby, you don't have to take the fall.
Yes, I may have hurt you,
but I did not desert you.
Maybe I just want to have it all.

It makes a sound like thunder
it makes me feel like rain.
And like a fool who will never see the truth,
I keep thinking something's gonna change.

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much,
and it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust.
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are.
Baby, sometimes, love just aint enough.

And there's no way home
when it's late at night and you're all alone.
Are there things that you wanted to say?
And do you feel me beside you in your bed,
there beside you, where I used to lay?

And there's a danger in loving somebody too much,
and it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch.
There's a reason why people don't stay who they are.
Baby, sometimes, love just ain't enough.

Baby, sometimes, love... it just ain't enough.

2005-06-22T14:54:00.000+08:00

2005-06-05T02:28:00.000+08:00

of shopping sprees and discovery

the past week has been rather of a blur for me as it was spent mainly accustomising to life on sentosa, which frankly, hasn't been much of a life at all.. lectures, rushing out for lunch den rushing back cuz the canteen sucks, tutorials, den rushing home again. haiz.. hopefully can get time out to really enjoy sentosa (ie the beach) hahas but looking at the way things are, fat hope.

hm... great singapore sale is now on again and i've been doing some serious retail therapy these days.. replaced my iPod with the iPod mini courtesy of mummy cuz the freaking **** people at bsc actually lost it, together with my thumb drive, but watever. haiz. that cost bout $450.. plus replacing the thumbdrive as well.. thanks mum.. you're the greatest.. hehe..

well also finally pluckered up the courage (and the money) to purchase my very first pair of havianas.. wanted to get kylie(kai li's) design but my size sold out.. darn.. :( hahas.. had to settle for something else which i didn't really like initially but am totally in love with right now.. its so cool! hahas.. blew $40 bucks on that and felt really good.. hahas cuz had been wanting to get them for the longest time.. plus, the service was darn good lo.. and it totally changed my perception of new urban male.. hehe.. to wei, you rocked!

saw another 2 pairs of slippers that were totally cool but haiz.. dun wanna spend so much all at once lo.. plus paying $26.90 for a pair of slippers isn't really my idea of cheap. yea. so must think it over... again and again and again.....

came back in the afternoon and practically slept it away.. woke up at bout 8+ den just parked myself in front of the tv, watching cable... of cuz, my fave channel again, discovery travel and living and within that short span of bout 4 hours, i've been taken to berlin, mongolia, argentina and san francisco.. talk bout jet setting.. haiz... how i wish i can be a host on discovery.. :(

more work coming up on the horizon, most of which i am just pretending not to notice it at the moment.. saffron training again on monday.. hahas.. major mayhem expected.. :)

oh yea, bought 2 books and my entire supply of stationeries for the semester today.. blew bout 40? which brings my total spending for the past week to be bout.. $500? must start surviving on bread and water liao.. -promptly faints-

2005-05-29T00:31:00.000+08:00

the day i became a believer again.

well there comes a time when you thought that you've seen it all, suddenly and unexpectedly something so unique that just overwhelms you and make you a believer again. hm.. cliched it may seem, but that just happened to me..

unintentionally caught serendipity starring john cusack and kate beckinsale on cable and it just blew me away. never had i been so emotional since watch moulin rouge like bazillion years back. story's simple, (quote from website, me lazy)

On a bustling shopping day in the winter of 1990, Jonathon Trager meets Sara Thomas. Two strangers amid the masses in NYC, their paths collide in the mad holiday rush as they fall victim to a mutual attraction. Despite the fact that each is involved in another relationship, Jonathon and Sara spend the evening wandering Manhattan. But when the night reaches its inevitable end, the two are forced into determining some kind of next step. When the smitten Jonathon suggests an exchange of phone numbers, Sara balks and proposes an idea that will allow fate to take control of their future.

If they are meant to be together, she tells him, they will find their way back into one another's life.

though story line's rather lame, its the idea of fate and destiny working unknowingly that made me wonder.. is there a special someone meant for you somewhere? would fate lead you to him/her, even when you're already at the altar, about to tie the knot with another? hm..

made me a believer in love again and also the power of destiny and fate.. set during christmas in new york, kinda like love actually, another film that i LOVED. (wat's with love and christmas? dotz, bloody stereotype yet i'm falling for it. everytime.) hahas..

guess wat, i'm a sucker for romantic films..

and i do believe in serendipity now.

2005-05-13T01:02:00.000+08:00

just caught house of wax today. well my only compliment was that it was a boring show. its either that or it was a downright-damn-disgusting-show-that-cannot-be-called-a-horror-show, cuz it isn't and after all that hooha, seeing paris hilton die wasn't really a thrill. in fact i couldn't wait just since the beginnig but just that they could have killed her a little more creatively.

wasted my vouchers. poor serene, she caught the movie TWICE somemore. hahas.. tian tain.. :P hahas.. disgusting right? ew.

2005-05-11T14:18:00.000+08:00

saw her today... feeling despondent. but quite happy to see her nonetheless.. :P

but still.. no hope one lah.. must ren ming..

serene seating beside me, kinda stuck in her own world with her own problems.. :( cheer up girl! life is good!

haiz.. it seems as though everyone is not feeling too good.. sad day.

2005-05-10T00:32:00.000+08:00

i'm kinda like stuck with the lazy bug now.. dun feeling like doing any work - when there's tons that demand my attention. haiz.. been going to school on a daily basis to complete the global citizenship project - dude.. its the hols.. and its been doubly hard now that i'm stuck with the bug. sorry serene.. trying my best!! :)

call it serendipity or wat but thank god for giving me the chance to go to vietnam.. really made some GREAT pals there and truly enjoyed myself.. den somemore matchmade you know you.. hahas.. whoohoo! can't wait to be back there!

supposed to be doing work now.. ditto..

2005-05-03T00:24:00.000+08:00

hey world.. back from vietnam!! hahas.. but seriously, really wish to be back in vietnam.. :( really had a blast there and was totally overwhelmed.. can't wait to be back!

one thing that really strucked me was the hospitality of the vietnamese.. everywhere we went,we were met with gracious smiles on the face of the people, who were ever willing to share and to let us into their lives.. haiz..

the highlight of the trip has gotta be the visits to the various universities, namely internation university and technical university.. really got to learn a lot from the vietnamese students and had the chance to share some aspects of my life with them too.. really a cultural exchange and i had to tear myself away from the places - literally.. wished that they could have been longer though.. and also, made many new frens.. hahas.. that's cool! heys peeps, do drop me a contact when ya guys visit singapore k? den i'll show you around! :P

of cuz, the shopping.. ok i have to admit, things were not that cheap there, maybe not as ridiculous as i though, but still reasonably cheap.. thanks to god of bargaining - aurelieus, we managed to save quite a tidy sum of moolah - to spend on other stuff.. hahas.. imagine bargaining for like 20 mins for a soft-toy.. i gotta give the guy props man.. hahas..

bought quite a lotta things but didn't really spent that much.. (fortunately) spent the most on books - pirated ones.. can you imagine that? hahas.. bought 2 lonely planet guidebooks that would have cost like $90? but only spent bout $20 on them.. hahas.. and also some storybooks as well.. thank god for yong tian.. who kept dragging me away from the mobile sellers, ah bo i'd have spent all my money on books alone.. hahas.. spent a lot on water as well.. well me being the shui tong that i am.. hahas.. had to walk opp the hotel for 2 bottles of 1.5 l mineral water every single day.. hahas.. dotz..

well, got drunk as well - close too ba.. hahas.. went to pub with the gang and drank some cocktails.. dotz.. den of cuz, people had to play games like zhong zi mi ma and of cuz drank some more.. hahas.. drowned bout 1 mug of beer as well... den after that was totally zoned out.. hahas.. knew what was going around me but just didn't have the energy to really pay attention.. and peeps kept saying that my face was darn red.. -.-'' it was a miracle that i managed to walk bakc to the hotel cuz at one point, my body threatened to pull out on me.. almost blanked out.. that was scary.. but after going back to the hotel, everything was fine.. phew!

loved the vocational skol cum orphanage as well.. saw some really cute kids and really wanted to help as much as i could, but unfortunately, didn't really know what i can assist in.. haiz.. there's really a lotta stuff that we can do for the underpriviledged i feel..

hey world.. had a rather fun and very eventful week.. hahas.. in short, had fun!

dnd
dnd was a blast and i think that the sub com did a great job! whoohoo! also want to thank the main com for their unwavering support and just for being there! gracias... and to all those who came dressed for the occasion, jlo, beyonce, taufik + sly, of cuz the cool louis and who could forget, SPONGEBOB! hahas..

work
went to work for leigh's bro's company yesterday and will be continuing next week.. nice environment and pple as well.. cat, dawn and of cuz, the ditzy leigh! hahas.. guess what, i just found out that they did my aunt's wedding last month as well.. how cool is that.. :P however, i cannot say the same for the wedding show that we went for.. firstly, location sucked, hands up those of you who know where YWCA is.. yes, YWCA.. secondly, the total lack of publicity or watsoever for the event.. how do you know when you've failed? when only 20, i repeat, 20 couples turn up for your event.. -.-'' out of which 18 are like solemnised already (i think) which only leaves our target audience to a grand total of... 2 yea.. go figure.. hope next week's event will be better!! :)

just came to the realisation that i'll be busy all the way till next monday, which will be when i'm flying off to vietnam for global citizenship.. so here's a rundown of my schedule..

2005-04-10T01:53:00.000+08:00

after a hiatus of one month, i'm finally back! and alive and kicking to boot.. :) lotsa stuff happened over the past month so just gonna bring them up to date.

exams + results
the end sem examinations came and went, which i had to admit i didn't have much memory of cept staying up till 4am every single day trying to cram things into my head. and well tot i did ok this time.. out of 6 subjects, save for ttpons which i got a B+, the rest all got As.. GPA improved over last term, but sadly, no distinctions this sem.. :(

global citizenship
well global citizenship is certainly alive and running.. completed 4 out of the 11 reflections to be done, behind time by 1, haiz, though its hols, i'm still so lazy, dotz. hahas.. will be going to vietnam, ho chi minh city form the 25th - 30th april which is barely 2 weeks away.. whoohoo! hahas.. gonna rock vietnam together with serence, boon chwee(?) and all my mates.. :) but still have to do project la, but that's the downside. speaking of which, i went for the vaccinations today at tan tock seng hospital, got hep a and influenza jabs.. well i think they should call it pokes instead of jabs cuz the nurse practically used all the power she could muster and poked the needle in me.. it was so darn painful and almost hit the bone (i think) hahas.. if not for face, i would have screamed the whole building down. trust me.

after that went to watch cat high syf 2005 play and met up with ms thian! hahas, den the 2 of us were like comparing our injuries cuz coincentially, she took her 2nd hep a few days ago.. hahas kinda dumb lah.. rolling up our sleeves and seeing who sustained more critical injuries.. :P

misc
well its the hols but still got a lotta things to do.. (as usual) htm dinner and dance, annual general meeting, vietnam trip + project + presentation, collect saffron uniform (which was so freaking ex at $160 for 2) , prepare for orientations (3 of them) and get ready for year 2 sem 1 - making me a junior instead of a freshie (yeah!) hahas

but still wanna work though so going back to isetan to see if they still wanna hire me.. hahas.. gonna work as part-time lo.. cuz i heard they're in need of people.. wish me luck!! :)

2005-03-05T00:50:00.000+08:00

konichiwa minasan, ogenki desu ka?

its already the end of the week (at last). more assignments done and a few more to go.. hm.. let's see, comm skills test (totally screwed it) and macroeconomics portfolio done (tot i did quite well).. japanese presentation and comm skills roleplay to go.. haiz.. sian..

had fun at movie under the stars today and though i've already watched finding nemo and bruce almightly before, but still really enjoyed myself.. maybe its the nice and fuzzy woozy feeling one gets when watching a movie under such a perfect weather.. hahas. all thats lacking is a partner to snuggle up with and enjoy the moment together.. but.. wateva.

its now like close to one am and i've got to be in skol by 8.15 tomorrow for alp.. dotz.. sian.. but den again, fish's concert's tomorrow!! whoohoo! at least its a consolation ba.. :P

2005-02-28T12:05:00.000+08:00

gosh. just realised that in this is my second entry for february and considering the fact that february will be more or less over and done with by tomorrow, i'm darned. hah.

feeling kinda free now.. guess its kinda like the in between period, where all the presentations are done and the examinations are still looming ahead, i'm feeling good! hahas.. well though there are still things to be done and comm skills on wed, but heck. shall tackle them as it comes, ie procrastine as usual.

kinda had a relaxing weekend after the jap test.. tot i did okie, considering the fact that i studied at around 2am the day before, shall wait for the results.. keeping my fingers crossed by the way.. and went on the city tour, which was such a bore considering the fact that i've been to all the places before and i can probably do a better commentary on the history of singapore than the wat'shername tour guide (not letting ms krishnan down here) lame idea of bring singaporeans out on a city tour of singapore and somemore telling us bout things like the mrt and the erp and stuff like that, as if we dunno. so melanie and jenny and i were like acting as japanese tourists and irritating the hell out of the tour guide and zhang wei. hai hai hai! like we care..

watched 3 movied back 2 back yesterday, was a welcomed break from all the late nights and the last min submissions.. watched freddy vs jason (or is it the other way round) on hbo , princess diaries 2 and spirited away on vcd.. totally enjoyed the latter two and after watching them, i arrivied at 3 conclusions:

1) anne hathaway is so beautiful.
2) should not eat too much lest i end up as a pig like seiko's parents
3) anne hathaway is really beautiful.

kool.

as for the former, well, they should just slash me instead.

reads
also read digital fortress by dan brown and the five people u meet in heaven by mitch albom.. the first was o-k-i-e and but then again considering the fact that this guy also wrote the da vinci code and angels and demons, this was way below his standard.. and the latter was a pleasant little read, much like tuesdays with morrie but it didn't tug my heartstrings like tuedays did.. still enjoyable nonetheless..

tp4u 2005

open house was like hell.. was doing so many things and promoting the diploma so much that i felt like a salesman in a department store, u know, the kind that has to promote frying pans that no one buys.. just that i'm luckier for there are people out there who would really die to enter htm.. whoa.. i'm amazed. hahas.. had a great talk with some newbies.. hope to see them next sem!

stupid pple

just realized that some people, despite their mature outlook, can really be shallow and downright stupid and these some people happen to be in the same class as me this sem.. they can be so immature that sometimes u just feel like breaking open their heads to see what they are thinking, or rather, just to see if they are thinking.. two faced b*****s (sry, there are minors out there who read my blog) :P nuff said.

long day ahead tmr, starting at nine and ending at eight, woah... so should i go gym tmr? most prob not considering the fact that it is me.

2005-02-08T20:35:00.000+08:00

just woke up from a 4 hour nap. erm, can u call it a nap. whatever. now i'm kinda feeling beside myself. weird -shutters- i think its all that woozyness and light headedness that i'm feeling now. blah.

tomorrow's cny already and like many of my frens, i dun really feel the festive spirit. wait. that's christmas.. em the chinese new year festive spirit then. haiz. shall wait and see tomorroe. perhaps more ang paos will do the trick.

went back to cat high todae. as expected, not many teachers recognised me. cept ms thian. hehe.. had fun.

am now jus staring at my laptop with no plans of what to do later whatsoever.

2005-01-29T23:04:00.000+08:00

went new year shopping with mom today and throughly enjoyed it.. (haiz, i'm a sucker for shoppin) hahas.. bought like 3 shirts (one of which is super duper nice but i dunno when i'll wear it cuz there's like no occasion that calls for such a shirt, but still, i bought it. nuff said.) and 2 bottoms.. spent like $200++ in all but i was happy and grinning like from ear to ear though i've just burnt a whole in mom's pocket, but still, guess that's what you call retail therapy.. hahas..

term's starting in less den 2 daes time.. haiz, so its kinda back to the monotony of going for tutorials half dead, to the wrong bus stat lectures and getting back to the projects which we are like so far behind.. but on the flip side, there's the good stuff like gossipping with far, jia and pc (which is never boring).. and eating at mensa 2, though sometimes no one wants to go with me.. -.-'''

global citizenship was fun! hahas.. met serene again and was chatting and gossipping like crazy rather than listening to the lecturer, (but we did pay attention k) and guess what, eric's in my class.. hahas.. cool dude and had a fun time having discussions and stuff with him.. and together with serene, made the tutor blur like crazy, but its not our fault, cuz he was already blur like crazy to begin with. too bad u got us.. hahas.. but the next lecture's like on the 2nd of April, which is wat, ten weeks away?!?! can't wait!

going to saffron to eat on monday.. hahas.. looking so very forward to it. should be quite enjoyable ba.. leigh, xiu and dawn, watch out ah! :P

2005-01-27T01:31:00.000+08:00

boon is happy today! hahas.. happy but shagged.. met alvin today to shop for new year's clothes at orchard and it was fun! to be able to act as fashion advisor for someone is cool and to shop for cny clothes is even cooler!

walked around far east plaza for a cool 4+ hours and den went over to tangs, jaywalked to topshop, den to taka giordano, walked across to heerens and finally ended up in paragon, where he purchased a pair of undies. -.-''' PHEW. hahas.. bitched quite a lot and helped him to get his new year clothes as well.. bought this super nice top from puremilk (not those cute cute one k.) and saw this white shirt at far east as well, which was like $69.90, WWAAYY beyond my budget.. haiz, really liked it though..

den as we were walking back to mrt station, chanced upon this super duper nice tee from s&k and tried it on, but alas, they ran out of m size. darn pissed.. hahas.. decided to go to the one at j8 and ran into cami at the station.. kinda surprised and had a short catchin-up session with him while waiting for him mom to arrive to pick him up.. pampered shao ye.. -roll eyes- hahas.. improperly attired somemore -.-'' missed him lots but glad to see him.. take care ah babes.. someone turnin 17 soon liao wo.. :P

anyways, back to the tee. still no size at s&k j8. dotxxx.. the search continues...

tmr still got project meeting den got ig meeting in the afternoon.. dotz.. boon is tired.. tired, but happy.. hahas..

mental note : should take alvin to orchard more and make him jaywalk.

2005-01-26T01:39:00.000+08:00

hahas.. me back from cya.. tired but fun as usual.. more gossip den work today with siti!! hahas.. she rocks man.. after work, went to levi's store with poh chin and vanessa and guess wat? i bought a levi's cap! got staff discount somemore no tax.. hehe.. spent S$35+ but whoohoo!! end of my worries on what to wear on my flattened head after cya on tuesdays!! :P

update for chan poh chin : she brought her first pair of jeans from levis today, 25th Jan 2005 at around 9.30pm and got 17++ off! so altogether round S$107++ only.. pc, happie? see i so nice broadcast for ya.. hahas..

after logging out, went with poh chin to starbucks where i treated her since i've got like $15 worth of vouchers.. ordered rumba venti, chocolate and banana muffins and cranberry scone.. quite a spread i must say, and in the end we couldn't finish cuz not v hungry.. haiz, waste food.. -shakes head in disappointment- anyways, had a great chat with her.. talking bout skol and stuff.. you rule!! :) (cannot imagine i'd be saying this but still..)

today was darn hot lo and me in my cya FULL BLACK uni.. so you can imagine the heat.. i was sweating like nobody's business lo but thank got it didn't show much.. hahas.. went to update my passport for the vietnam trip and also to pay the deposit of $200 in skol today.. met desiree too. she had project meeting.. guess everyone's busy nowadays..

heys peeps, i've finished reading da vinci code for the 2nd time! still as intrigued, still as fascinated.. certainly looking forward to the movie next year!

now just lazing around so decided to update my blog.. oh ya, got a sample of britney spears' curious perfume today at the airport! super duper nice k, no wonder its no 1 in the usa now.. plus not many people know bout it since it just arrive here and changi's the first airport in asia to sell curious.. hahas!! i'm one lucky man!

going out to orchard with alvin tmr to shop for new year's clothes.. hm.. looking so very forward to it! :P must go to sleep soon liao.. ah bo tmr cannot wake up! ciao~

boon's schedule
mon - home
tue - skol + cya
wed - free ? (i hope)
thu - skol - ig + olympics + project
fri - global citizenship lecture 1

guess that doesn't give me much time to do stuff and to enjoy does it? plus the fact that i've gotta catch up on my jap and read my books, it basically means one thing.. i'm screwed.

haven't gotten my new year clothes yet.. raring to go shopping! hehe..

2005-01-21T01:45:00.000+08:00

something wrong with blog.. watever i typed just now's gone. shite. now not in the mood to update liao..

britney's do somethin' video's out. cool man!

stuck in the middle.

2005-01-10T14:47:00.000+08:00

haiz.. just realised that i've not blogged in a loonnngg time.. guess i was rather caught up in all the work and stuff.. seriously, am rather shagged and with the midsem tests looming up next week, i seriously have no idea how i'll manage.. :(

projects
i'm really gonna be upfront here as i'm rather disappointed with my current project group as whole.. people are rather reluctant about meeting and when meeting dates and venues are finalised, people usually mumble a customary "yea" and den go on to forget about it. also, there are some people in the group who hand up sloppish work, evident that no effort was placed into doing it. i mean, its only a project, so it you're gonna just smoke your way through it, den why bother doing it? haiz. i'm not too pleased. heck, i'm a whole lot more than not pleased. i'm peeved. pissed.

kelly rocks. dunno what i'll do without ya man!

stumped
stuff for stumped has more or less been finalised and publicity is in full swing now, as is booth duty. though its rather last min, i just wanna thank all the ig members who responded quite quickly and to jasmine and jovi, for turning up so early to help in the setting up of booth. thanks!!!! now all that remains is to hope/get/motivate people to join.. so if you're free on the 22nd of jan after 12pm, pls form groups of 5 and JOIN stumped!

random
am now in the lab waiting gor ttpons to begin (3-5) den its jap (6-8) dotz.. still a long day ahead. but i will survive!!

by the way, the two goofballs are behind me, with goofball no 1 printing her notes and goofball no 2 helping her print.. funny sight they make.. these 2 really are a pair man! hahas.. you pple rock! :P

disclaimer - goofballs no 1 & 2 are chan poh chin and tan sijia respectively. every effort has been made to ensure their privacy, but like i care? hahas.. :)

2005-01-01T17:21:00.000+08:00

a new year has came by, though silently this year. was in the midst of packing my stuff when the alarm clock wrote twelve am.. hahas.. lame right.. could still remember the new year came when i was watching lord of the rings last year.. :P time really flies man..

2004-12-29T01:11:00.000+08:00

due to the recent spat of unfortunate events, i have every reason to feel the way i feel now.

but i will survive.

2004-12-29T01:08:00.000+08:00

3 days after xmas . 3 days to new year . yep, its the inbetween period and usually at this time of the year i'm super high.. but this year its super low..

just came back from cya, going again tmr to cover desiree. somehow or another, cya has been a form of release for me. it makes be happie and relaxed, though i usually end up tired as hell at the end of the day.

lots of stuff not done, people not contacted, waiting for replies from sponsors and hyatt, just realised my schedule's full all the way till new year's eve. and i mean FULL. dotz.

i need to breathe. but can't.

happy new year . happy for?

2004-12-18T22:50:00.000+08:00

heys! boon is feeling real good today. which is really something to talk about since i haven't exactly been in high spirits lately..

went to sarah's place for the ig xmas party today.. had great fun (outings with the ig are always so.. hahas!) and was darn stuffed.. played truth or dare and who was the first one to kena? urs truly of cuz, yes, i'm that suai. in the end, had to run down and up 12 floors in under six mins.. did it in 1.55mins, but was darn shagged after that.. guess that's what happens when you haven't exactly been excercising properly these days.

having stumped trail run tomorrow.. rather excited about the game but still rather anxious bout the turnout tomorrow cuz people dun really seem too enthu about it.. hm.. keeping my fingers crossed.. very crossed.

going for council bbq after stumped!!! yeah!!! happie happie happie.. just hope that the guy up there would give us good weather and i wouldn't be too late!!!

reason for me feeling good today was cuz firstly, it was a breather admist all the activities that have been lined up this term.

secondly.. I WENT CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!! WHOOHOO!! hahas.. i'm a sucker for shopping, but christmas shopping is really the icing on the cake man... though financially strained this year, but still managed to buy like bout 15 pressies for the ones closest to mua, not forgetting the 35 peeps whose candy canes are already on the way.. i dunno bout others, but there's this joy in seeing all the wrapped up presents together.. be it under the christmas tree or behind the door as they are now.. i guess christmas IS about sharing.. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!

i apologise for the no of exclaimation marks in this entry.. but i'm happie!!!!
on an all-time high sugar rush!!! it's due to chrismas..

2004-12-17T16:10:00.000+08:00

just finished macroeconomics lecture . which was b-o-r-i-n-g . haiz.. was thinking of going to my favourite mac at the airport to to read angels and demons which dear farissa passed me but called crystal just now and realised that candy cane wrapping only starts at 5pm.. which is still fifty two mins away hiaz.. what a letdown.

now i'm just passing time away in the lab with far beside me. bored like hell . come to think of it, i definitely wouldn't want to go to hell if it's THIS boring . fifty one mins...

come five o'clock come . . .
i wanna go airport!!!

fifty mins...

2004-12-17T13:32:00.000+08:00

haven't been blogging for quite a while.. this week and the one that past were real hectic, with lots of activities and not forgetting, the all important.. skol.

ht o six
the new class' rather clique-ish and the bond that we shared in four six was definately not present.. perhaps was because we're still new to each other and there's a need to know the class better? haix, but wat to do? have to get through the new semester, which seems to be a very busy one.. jam packed with activities and also, a relatively short one as compared to previous sems.. but rather happie with my project group, with maybelle, maybeline (the gal pa was talking bout) , jenny aka loreal, cool cool alvin and quiet quiet shawn.. you peeps rock!

htb orientation
orientation was a blast! had great fun though there were some rather unhappy moments that i'd prefer not to mention, like people running away halfway thru the mass dance, and the lack of enthusiasm from some of the participants and of cuz, the granddame of all irritants - her. - which i just did. food com rocks man! great job to leigh, rozy and chris! and also to the ics - lanka , and sis avril hahas.. well done!!

candy canes
the candy cane project was a surprise hit man! when we launched the project, we were still filled with apprehension that it might fail, but boy were we proved wrong! for a mere 50 cents, we'd not only give you a free gift tag along with the candy cane but we also provide free delivery service for ya! apparently the htm population liked the idea so much that we hit 1000 orders after the 4th day, way way way beyond our target of 350.. hm.. now all that remains is to tie the gift tags to the canes, which is an immense task all by itself.. and that's not mentioning delivery.

cya
cya.. really had fun at cya.. working at the airport really gives you the exprience that you can get only when working at the airport. ok. so it doesn't make sense to you, but that's exactly how it is.. covered sarah last sunday and was stationed at t1 central counter.. assisted quite a no of passengers and the csos were extremely approachable.. had great fun! worked on tuesday as well, from 5pm-9pm and it was an entirely different experience in itself for it was a busier period and although i was stationed at t1 east, the passenger flow was much much more.. though tired. i enjoyed it. a LOT. and thanks to daniel from sp who was there as well.. you're da man!! hahas..

weekend
the weekend ahead seems very busy as well for on sat there's the ig christmas celebrations at sarah's house and there's stumped. trial run on sun.. not forgetting the council bbq at east coast, which i'll finally meet peeps i've not seen in a long long time, like cammi! hahas.. yeah!

2004-12-10T23:24:00.000+08:00

jus back from htb orientation . shagged man . long day but enjoyable . rather pissed at people with f***ed up attitudes . irritating .

going to sentosa tomorrow!! yah!! leigh's tanning.. i'm not sure.

you want attitude . we'll give you attitude . what's ur prob ?

2004-12-07T22:29:00.000+08:00

2004-12-05T16:16:00.000+08:00

2004-12-02T23:45:00.000+08:00

things to buy/do/get
~~-kylie minogue - ultimate kylie~~ got it @ chinatown.. darn cheap!
-kelly clarkson - breakaway
~~-new haircut~~ ugly. hate it.
~~-dye hair~~ cool! watsons was on offer.. :P
-stop procrastinatin (like never)
- wait for hair to grow back..

its positive.. i look weird.. still cannot get used to the new cut.. though it wasn't that much of a difference between my old ones.. i STILL find it strange.. guess that's the thing about haircuts, u'll never get used to it.. so now, i'm patiently waiting for my hair to grow back to the way it used to be.. hopefully between now and skol reopens (that's 3 days), i'll look ok. hopefully.

cya..
training for cya was darn fun!! hahas.. and the entire thing about cya is so cool!! love it lots.. never knew that there were so many things that i have yet to discover in the airport.. like the sunflower gardens and the macdonalds at t1 transit has a view that is TOO DIE FOR!! darn cool loh the view and the ambience as well.. of cuz, there're lots to do and memorise for cya's not a easy job. heavy responsibilities man.. but still gonna love it.. and the CSOs are so fun! thanks to veroni, ana maria and aneeta!! looking forward to working with ya!! and to the rest of the tp cyas.. all the best and show our power!! :P

oh ya.. side track. do u know that i can now enter the transit area at anytime?as in like anytime? jus xchange for the pass would do.. darn cool! but still, cannot anyhow.. hahas.. jeremy, eat ur heart out!! :P

timetable

2004-11-13T13:17:00.000+08:00

haven't blogged in a really long time.. dun ask me why.. jus didn't feel like doing so. anyways, here am i now! hahas...

bangkok + pattaya
thailand is so cool!!! period.. the stuff is cheap (not THAT cheap though) and it wasn't as ulu and backwards as i've expected, and more importantly, pattaya has some really cool beaches and really great sun! hahas.. had a great tan and enjoyed the seawalker immensely, which was something like walking on the sea floor with a helmet (retarded as it might sound) and in real close proximity with the ocean life.. it was so so so darn cool! love it lots... and really motivated to get my diver's liscence now.. hahas.. and as expected, when crazy in bangkok.. in a total of bout less den 3 days, bought like 10 tops and a pair of jeans, plus a jacket, new slippers, visor and lotsa bling blings.. and went to hard rock cafes in bangkok and pattaya and the hard rock hotel as well.. darn amazing.. blew like close to $300 at least i think.. that's bout 7,345.78 bhat. w o w. but now, i'm really in love with thailand, cuz the people are really hospitable and they are not afraid of sharing their homeland with others, cuz they're really proud of their heritage. i'm impressed. will be back really soon. i hope.

work
i gave up on finding part-time/ temp jobs hence am now helping my cousin's neighbour to collect newspaper money, low-class as it might sound, it really quite fun and cool.. earn bout 50 cents per house, which works out to be bout $10+ per hour? quite alright, cept that only worked bout 3 days and bout 3-4 hours on average, so it isn't really a lot loh. and also, been helping my dad to do some admin stuff at his office, which includes stuff like scrubbing and cleaning through cowebbed shelves and walls, as well as opening letters that are dated five months ago. still, trying to stay calm (which is hard considering the fact that i got attacked by a dog even before i entered his factory. thank god for jeans.) and earning 5.5 per hour, which is ok lah, considering the fact that he is throwing in free meals as well. at times.

chalets
meeting chrissy and tere in less den 3 hours time at white sands to go for hao's chalet.. really excited at the prospects of meeting the class again for i've not seen them for bout a month, which works out to be bout 30 days.. which works out to be about 720 hours, 43200 mins, 2592000 secs.. you get the idea. can't stay though, cuz got northland chalet the following day.. really dun wanna talk about it. the preparations' are killing me, along with jiale and jingyi... budget is a major prob.. and attendance as well? really crossing my fingers and prepared for the worst, but we will pull thru.. haiz. that said, i'm not gonna let it damper my spirits for hao's chalet! hahas

random thoughts

i am really looking forward to the start of sem. the hols are sosososo boring!

mudpies outing anyone?

cya startin soon.. cool.

dan, ray and the sec 4s, jia you jia you.. last few papers liao!

2004-10-29T01:19:00.000+08:00

i've come to the realization that i'm turning noctornal. for good. i can go to sleep like at 4-5am everyday and wake up at like 1-2pm. this is NOT GOOD. period. i need to tune the clock inside right before sem starts to prevent hell from breaking lose. again.

the past week has been quite ok, actually one of the more activity-packed week of the hols. went out walking on mon. dun ask me where, cuz i didn't know either.. hahas.. had ig meeting on tuesday which was quite fruitful, and i'm in charged of scramble rumble together with leigh, dawn and chris.. kinda like the ch explorer that we planned last year, so quite excited as i've had a ball of a time doing it, despite all the hard work. after that we had dance which was quite cool and the steps were much better den the usual poly dances i think, comparable to the jc ones.. hahas.. now the song's stuck inside my head. "5, 6, 7, 8!!!" -.-''' oh gosh. sidetrack, but i tot that the mickey dance is somewhat cool and funnie.. dun mind learnin.. :P

much of wednesday was spent infront of what i think is two of Man's worst invention. the telly and the com. haiz. i seriously need to cut down my time in front of them. from like NOW. thursday was a buzz of activity, with much advocated to packing for my trip to bangkok with my parents and my tweep of a brother.. hahas. not that excited as genting, but still looking forward to the trip for i've not been on an airplane for a LOONNGG time, nerdy as it might seem, but i enjoy flying. a lot. will be in the air in about 10? 12? hours time. and will be going to bangkok and pattaya for 4 days. turned out that avril is also booked on the same trip, but one week later. tough luck. hahas. ready to take on bangkok man! i've even written down a shopping list! :)

will be back on mon. peeps dun miss me k? :P

jo, dun think too much. have faith in the guy above. i do.

but i STILL wan a JOB.

2004-10-23T01:05:00.000+08:00

am suppossed to wake up at 7.30ish tomorrow cuz got pacesetter training cum gm.. but the noctornal animal in me is still well alive.. need to be decked in formal wear somemore. not very agreeable to the idea but alas, still have to. :P venues are still unconfirmed, me blur. so is shaidah. i think.

went to k-box again. (2nd time in 3 daes) with jingyi and jiale. sang from 11+ till 3.. cool, and the rice at k-box absolutely sucked. big time. imagine actually being able to feel each grain of rice in ur mouth. not a very pleasant sight isn't it? not a very pleasant experience either. hahas..

got my results via sms today when i was in k-box. darn shocked, to say the least. did rather ok generally but could be better. am in the 1-25 percentile, together with glad, far and jia at the moment. not really reason to rejoice, but not substantial enough to grief over. guess i'd just have to buck up next sem.. must bia together with tere.. k? hahas..

finally bought my tiepin at goldlion today. excuse my language here, but it was darn freaking bloodi expensive loh.. $52!! but at least it came with a tie. -.-''' haiz, took a little setback in my savin-so-can-spend-like-crazy-in-bangkok fund. but nontheless. i shall not be deterred.

studied with daniel again today, this time at the cafe jus down the road, damn cool place, v conducive for study too! food's good, ambience not bad. made ok progress today.

sidetrack, but i found that my phone can do CONFERENCE CALLS!!! woohoo!! hahas. meaning more nights talkin to peeps like grace, daniel, jingyi, jiale again!!! and all at the same time too! damn cool. i'm amazed.

2004-10-22T02:41:00.000+08:00

dun ask me what am i doing, still up at close to 3am in the morning. neither do i know. life has jus been a blur these days, me just drifting around without much sense nor purpose. hiaz. i miss skol. for once. and i n e e d a j o b. N O W. despite of my schedule.. haiz

decided to change the main pic. a bit to obvious and too much according to jinyi and daniel. i like it. and its more subtle and cooler in a way.. so wat's ur prerogative?

just finished a four-way conference call with daniel, jingyi and grace. very cool and the converstation was meaninful, to cut a long story short. and i hoped it helped. :)

in the zoning out.

2004-10-17T15:59:00.003+08:00

just finished reading tuesdays with morrie, something that i've been wanting to read for the longest time.. and glad to say, i wasn't the least bit disappointed.. i expected to read about experiences and stuff but came out knowing so much more... it was certainly a beautifully written book of great wisdom that captures the simplicity beyond the complexities that life brings.. it truly was a story about and old man, a young man, and life's greatest lesson.

excerpts from tuesdays with morrie

"as my visits with morrie go on, i being to read about death, how diferent cultures view the final passage. there is a tribe in the north american arctic who believe that all things no earth have a soul that exists in a minature form of the body that holds it - so that a deer has a tiny deer inside it, and a man has a tiny man inside him. when the larger being dies, that tiny form lives on. it can slide into somehting being born nearby, or it can go into a temporary resting place in the sky, in the belly of a great feminine spirit, where it waits until the moon can send it back to earth.

sometimes, they say, the moon is so busy with the new souls of the world that it disappears from the sky. that is why we have moonless nights. but in the end, the moon always returns.

as do we all."

"in the south american rainforest, there ius a tribe called the descana, who see the world as a fixed quantity of energy that flows between all creatures. every birth must therefore endenger a death, and every death bring forth another birth. this way, the energy of the world remains complete.

when they hunt for food, the desana know that the animals they kill will leave a hole in the spiritual well. but the hole will be filled by the sould of the desana hunters when they die. were there no men dying, there would be no birds or fishes being born. i like this idea. morrie likes it, too. the closer he gets to goodbye, the more he seems to feel we are all creatures in the same forest. what we take, we must replenish.

"its only fair", he says."

"you think so?" morrie rolled his eyes towards the ceiling. "i'm bargaining with Him up there now. i'm asking Him, 'do i get to be one of the angels?' "

it was the first time morrie admitted talking to god.

love each other or die.

2004-10-17T01:46:00.000+08:00

the past week has jus been crazy.. one week ago... the examinations ended, leaving me with a void (sorta) for i was at a loss of wat to do... hehe...

mudpies!!
met up with jo, ber, bert and pricks for badminton (mel where are thou?!) couldn't get the courts so we ended up playing at some open space somewhere near my house lah.. can't really call it exercising, for we were playing with the wind more than with each other. it was that windy... in the end we jus gave up and stoned at the playgroupd, catching up with each other and gossipping as usual.. hahas... went to junction 8 for brunch and finally decided on cartel.. had a rockin good meal and was darn full... and of course.. it wouldn't be complete without a neoprint would it? and it was at my fave machine.. the one with the sofa and yadayada... hahas... and when we came out of the neoprint shop bert was intrigued by this medicure machine and i became fascinated as well.. so jo and ber were like pushin and edgin us to to do it.. and we did. results below. no comments. period.

cool right?

2004-10-13T10:25:00.000+08:00

hey hey.. jus checkin in here before i go off for the ig retreat at aloha loyang! haha... anyways the past few daes have been kinda boring. eat. sleep. tv. badminton. computer. blah. cept for the mudpies outing on saturday.. more on that when i come back, which will be on fridae... see ya

i don't need permission make my own decisions. that's MY prerogative.

2004-10-09T23:03:00.000+08:00

hey hey!! exams are now officially over and its the start of the hols!! woohoo!! hahas.. know i'm a lil' hyper. ok a lot but the occasion calls for it dun cha think??

exams
well felt that the exams in general were quite alright in the sense that the papers were standard ones lah, intro to hospi and touri wasn't done as well as i tot.. (i think.) cuz the sports hall was so damn hot.. why in the world would they want to hold examinations there anyways? dotz.. i was practically sweating throughout the 2 hour paper, with my right hand writing non-stop and my left hand wiping my sweat... not exactly a pretty sight but.. u get the pic.. hahas...

ffbs was a terror to study for cuz there was practically no past year paper to refer to and no tutorial questions for us to gauge the questions.. so it was a case of study everything and spot topics loh.. i practically only focused on the beverage and catering science section and in hindsight, wasn't the most feasible thing to do.. considering the fact that it was FOOD and beverage science after all.. but heck, tot that it was kinda good.. and the bulk of the questions really came from the latter sections.. so i was so darn relieved at the end of the paper... "consumers are now increasingly turning towards new world wines as compared to old world wines.." justify this statement anyone??

econs being the last paper was a good choice.. at the risk of sounding like a peacock, i was quite confident in econs so i didn't really study.. i ended up watching discovery travel and adventure at 2 am when i was supposed to be muggin.. but i DID k! but comparatively less la considering the fact that i mugged till 3am for intro and 4am for ffbs... well the paper in itself was kinda standard and when i finally heard the "stop writing now" from the stupid invigilator, i was damn relieved.. compared to amanda, who finished the paper like 45mins before time... i was like wat the... haha.. later when i compared the questions with gladys and far and the rest, i tot i did quite ok lah.. out of the first 2 sections where the total score was 40marks, think i scored 39... which was relatively ok considering the fact that it was POLY econs loh...

piggin out
finally went to farissa's shop. rather, farissa's dad's shop to eat.. with chrissy, glad, amelia, tracy, kelly, ah zhi aka sun, poh chin, audrey, hao, zifu, tere, alex, danni and crystal... kinda cool, the ambience was good cuz it was relatively empty. shared like zi char with christine, audrey and poh chin.. ordered four dishes that were like woah! but only three came.. but it was ok cuz ew were damn full after piggin on the fried baby squids, baby kailan and the hotplate tofu cuz i barely even touched my rice... but was kinda wasted cuz i was interested in finding out how the butter chicken tasted like.. right christine? haha.. wolfed down like a milo dinosaur and two cups of ice kosong.. and was bloated like hell.. spent like 2 hours jus crapping and stoning.. it was cool.. i guess pple didn't really wanted to leave but i had to go for the ig meetings that were always at the most inappropriate times... and cuz sorta was like the last day we'd be together as a class.. damn sad lah, but we'd always still see each others right?

ig meeting
long but interesting. kinda excited bout things to come.. and the chalet's set. :)

2004-10-03T13:11:00.000+08:00

although exams are just next week, but i am currently in holiday mode liao... hehe.. dunno why, but after the ffbs presentation on two fridays ago, i didn't feel like doing work at all.. perhaps too shagged, but now should really get back to hitting the books liao..

school
school's great, though short. can u imagine that the sem has almost ended? haiz, and its darn sad when u gotta leave a class of super duper pple behind. but we'd still be in the same course.. so cheer up k peeps, dun cry like during ffbs! haha.. took lotsa pics during the last lesson with mr alvin tan, who, surprisingly, was so spontaneous, u rock mr tan!! haha... presentation was not bad in my opinion, since we really cheonged all the way.. yes, everyone. stayed over at farissa's house the day before to really do work and slept at like 5.30, woke up at 7.. was darn groggy, but it was cool, seeing gladys in her specs and crystal ironing our shirts at like wat? 4 am? hehe.. and also seeing poh chin. just seeing is enough to make me burst out laughing.. haha.. great project group that i know i'd miss. a lot.

movie under the stars
was darn unwilling to go for the event, seriously, for it was the last day of school liao and i badly wanted to hang out with the class... but still turned up nontheless... overall, the event turned out to be quite a success cuz we watched 50 first dates in the lt cuz it started drizzling (poor karin, she was praying that it would not happen, but seriously, i tot everyone was. i knew i was.) thank god the weather turned out fine later, so we watched love actually in the amphitheater.. it was so so so cool... haha.. i really love the show.. and the ambience, it was unparalled. so had a rocking good time! thanks guys for making the event a success.. both main and sub com! thanks thanks thanks!

grades and xams
so far quite pleased with my grades lah, though they were coursework components only.. still got exams.. for ffbs, econs and transport all got A, but got a B for intro. quite sad, but still.. must buck up!!! hehe.. exams on tues, thurs and fri, intro, ffbs and econs in that order.. seriously, can't wait man! so that the hols will be here sooner and i wanna work!!!!!

ps: poh chin! a happie belated birthday to my ben dan! thanks for all the laughter!
pps: someone's birthday coming soon! i will NOT forget!!

i would die in estacy...

2004-09-19T17:31:00.000+08:00

didn't sleep last night cuz didn't felt like it. den when i was about to take a shower to go to terry fox, guess wat.. i FELL ASLEEP!!! didn't wake up till like 5.55, when i'm suppossed to meet at harbourfront @ 620... gosh, rushed like mad k.. got out of house in bout less than five mins managed to get this super duper cab driver who got me there in time.. but when i reached, i can't find them!! called gavin and yi xiu and ran around the place (and mind you, harbourfront isn't that small) before finally meeting them, 5 mins late. anyways terry fox was kinda fun but bit lame cuz we were practically redundant, so me, sarah and leigh were like standing around making ourselves useful when we were over-powered by the stupid loudhailer screaming out instructions.. nontheless, the job was done and people were happy. (at least we were. more relieved than happy)

wanted to go with the ig people but class had "outing" so had to ps ig loh, so cyrstal and i walked all the way from palawan beach to tanjong beach to meet them. tracy said that they would be there in under thirty mins cuz they at monorail thus crystal decided to sleep in the shade while listening to my jerry yan cd while i decided to work on my tan while chilling out to britney. tanjong beach's actually quite cool cuz you can just sit and chill, enjoying the sun sand and sea. decided not to tan after a while cuz was getting really hot and crystal woke up as well. we had been there for like 1.5 hours liao loh and crystal's not in the shade anymore cuz the sun had shifted, while i was red enough to paint the entire moulin rouge (maybe not that red, but close..) call the guys and guess wat.. THEY WERE CLIMBING TREES!! we were like "huh??" and got quite pissed, so we decided to act angry and boy were we good.. hehe, tracy and kelly got quite scared :P.. sorry sis, both of u.. but u were guo fen in the first place, so dun blame me!!

went to bugis and guess who i saw the moment i entered bugis junction... MS THIAN!! yup! long time never see her liao.. must really get together soon.. :P den went to take neoprints (again) with kelly,tracy, crystal, christine and hao.. before scouting the entire length of bugis searching for the perfect birthday gift to tai tai.... found it at last, isn't really perfect, but its close tai tai, trust me..

was darn shagged when i came back and still is now.. think will hit the sacks... adiós

2004-09-18T22:56:00.000+08:00

woke up from a 13 hours sleep today. felt so good considering the fact that i've slept like a total of less than 10 hours for the past week. was practically a walking zombie. sleep IS good.

rushed bcs, ffb project reflection, ffb peer appraisal, travel geog and transport peer appraisals and had ffb, htm online tests and transport, bcs and com skills written test this past week. one word to describe the hectic - shagged. when i handed up com skills test paper i was practically whopping with joy cuz was FREE - well at least for the weekend. kinda cool and went shopping. the feeling of liberation is really remarkable. hehe.

met berton on tues night, supposedly to do excel but as usual, ended up chilling and talking. and listening to britney's my prerogative for the bazillion time.. hehe.. though wasn't productive, it was fun. always has been fun. dunno what came over me, but i walked all the way from sembawang to yishun interchange. kinda cool, feeling the night breeze and just walk and walk and walk. must try more often. hehe..

went out with bren babes to watch avp. movie was ok but i throughly enjoyed myself cuz hasn't seen babes for like wat, 3 months? god i missed him! haha.. den went to take neoprints as well using the super duper cool neoprint machine. and spent like wat.. 1/2 hour decorating the prints? fun man!! watched kill bill this afternoon after i woke up.. kinda cool but bit gory. watched dirty dancing 2 havana nights last week and it was SO COOL!!! the leads moved like woah! haha.. sorry for punctutating with exclaimations but it was really woah!!! mental note: must learn latin dancin.. haha.. :P

tomorrow going to terry fox run at sentosa.. gonna be road marshal together with the ig people and my class going as well.. yah! think it's gonna be fun but i have to meet at 620am!! how am i ever supposed to wake up??

exams coming up soon but before that, its a one week study break! can slack.. haha.. den its hols again! woohoo!!

2004-09-04T20:09:00.000+08:00

MAKE IT STOP!!!" in the middle of the rollercoaster ride!! you rocked!! to kelly, crystal and tracy, thanks for always being there and sitting with me.. haha.. and of cuz, who can forget those marathon shopping cum bitching sessions?? and the bitching? haha.. to the guys, alex, terence and hao.. here's to the best roommates ever! cannot imagine that we can be neater than the girls! here's one to the boys! haha.. cool cool pple! to far and cassand... ultra cool gals man... memories of us raiding radioactive shall always be imprinted in my mind! to danni.. thanks for lightening the mood! and to aishah, my fellow wuss-in-arms! haha.. cannot believe we stuck together and made it through space shot! that was scary man! and got to ya so so so much better... and hey, you are super man! one of a kind! love ya! :P

countdown to genting - 7 daes!!!

yah! going to genting in less than 1 week!! can't wait! hehe.. quite a lotta things to update... so ya..

bcs presentation
think the presentation went quite well.. and the teacher was like quite impressed with the layout and everything.. so think marks will be quite high.. hehe, v buai hiao bai i know.. but its jus me lah.. presentation itself went v smoothly and formal wear was surprising quite comfy, but the worst is yet to come - blazer.. urgh.. big thank you to christine ng and josephine.. wonderful group mates!!

htmig
thought i screwed up the hospitality and tourism interest group interview... but surprisingly, I GOT IN!!! yah!!! so i'm now officially a sub com member.. woohoo!! haha.. was pleased to note that my gang got in too.. namely crystal, gavin, xiu wen, michelle and nicholas!! think we're gonna have so much fun together! can't wait!! its gonna be crazy!! haha...

pacesetters
sent in my application at the last min.. but was kinda relieved to know that i made it thru the first round!! so having my interview this sat... fer and di got through too! so think it'd be another win win situation if we all get into pacesetters!!

microeconomics
had microecons test today.. think the paper was ok generally but got one stupid mistake that will like cost me 6 marks.. haiz.. price elasticity calculated wrongly!! so stupid.. haiz.. hope to do well though..

travel geog
having travel geog online test on thurs.. hope to do well but dun think really will study in depth cuz there is jus too many things to memorise and most stuff can't be found in the notes as well.. jus read thru loh.. i mean, why is there the need to like memorise where the getto of like world war two is?? i mean, can't we jus refer?!?! lame.

ella enchanted
watched ella enchanted bout like two weeks ago.. (gee, has it really been that long??) nice show, and anne hathaway rocked!! so pretty.. its official now, i like anne more than i like lindsay now!! cuz lindsay is like in you face gorgeous, but anne's beauty is more subtle.. and do you know that anne hathaway can actually sing? can't wait for princess diaries 2... got her.. somemore got kelly clarkson's new song!! which is really nice!!

the notebook
omg!! the anticipation is killing me!! i mean i've been like waiting for the release of this movie like forever... and realised that i'm not the only one in class who actually like reading nicholas sparks.. apparently gladys, sister tracy, kelly, audrey also read!! think it'd be a huge sobfest... sister, hang in there k!! haha.. so we are all going to watch on thursday after travel geog!! woohoo!! but will also go with berton, so dun worry k! haha

terence's bdae
today is terence's birthday!! happie 17th!! hope you liked the surprise and the boxers that we gave you.. must wear k!! haha... super nice person, and super on and enthu. you rock!!

concert
went to esplanade for the catholic high concert on sun afternoon.. i mean who the heck would hold a concert in the afternoon?? -.- tot last year's was better though cuz i participated!! anyways, was kinda enjoyable cuz got to meet the guys again... keng phang, joey, heng qing, edmond, keith, kiat chay, tim, weijun, ala... and others.. sorry if i forgot who else went! geez..

these two weeks are quite slack cuz only officially need to spend 2 hours in school... also going hotel inspection next week after genting.. sorry mr tan but can't go with you to 4 seasons.. sad.. but there will be some other time! most prob will be either prakash @ concrad or low @ regent loh.. sian...

2004-07-26T13:05:00.000+08:00

am in the midst of my 3 hour break.. which is a HUGE relieve after the buzz of activities this morning.. reached school at around 8 and met lip chun!! this guy's a dear man! take care and hang on!! haha

rushed my bcs project and finally finished loh.. though there were things that were's that good, like the flash intro didn't really linked properly and the music wasn't really tested... and i had to run up 6 levels loh to phyllis' room and submitted the stupid thing at 8.59, when the project is supposed to be due at 9.00?? haha. thank god... :P

due to the rush and everything, was kinda tired and started zoning out during the intro to hospi and touri tutorial.. sorry mr prakash for being so lame!! haha, hoped u didn't mind!! :)

now gonna discuss the presentation which is tomorrow loh, haiz, FORMAL WEAR leh.. tired.. and zoned out.. but still happenin!!

wanna thank berton, ~~which~~ oops, who was always so helpful to me and never hesitating to offer his services (or it might be me cuz i was kinda thickskinned) :P.. anyways, you rocked!!!

countdown to genting: 15 DAYS! YAH!!!

2004-07-21T21:00:00.000+08:00

haiz... i'm sick!!! -sniffs- didn't go to school today as was having sore throat and there are like bazillion ulcers in my mouth. which is not a good thing considering the fact that they hurt like hell... and apparently everybody's falling sick... terence, jo, aish, hang in there k!

projects... assignments.. deadlines!! ARGH.. haha.. maybe not to that extent lah but yup, can feel the strain.. but i'll pull through, no worries... :)

had online lesson today loh for travel geog which in my opinion one of the most troublesome module that i have to take (the other being bcs, which is SO boring) - roll eyes - was supposed to do discussion for a scenario which was supposed to take 1 hour only.. but guess wat, group 3 being group 3, took the whole of 2 hours and we submitted it 6 mins late, which i tot was ok.. hehe... cuz got some people lah.. couldn't agree on stuff and were quarralling like wat.. online? i mean.. grow up man....

submitting the scholarship tomorrow.. really hope to get it though but might be a trouble with my less than ideal olevels... nonetheless, shall give it a try... and with regards to my endless list of ccas, here's the update and i hope this wil be it :P..

- currently in com service liao (confirmed)
- joining pacesetters (confirmed)
- joinin hospi and touri interest group sub com (confirmed)
- tennis if poh chin, amelia and sister tracy decides to join.. (tentative)

so i think that's about it loh.. and wanna wish my ma, JOSEPHINE, a very very very happie 17th birthday! from your cutest and smartest son, ME! sorry couldn't be in school and celebrate with ya... :(

also a happie birthday to gorgeous MELISSA! may you stay pretty as always and get better in math k!! haha -pukes- celebrated it together with gene at far east last fri.. so funnie and never laughed so much in a long time liao... took neoprints as well (YAH!!) and like bazallion pics on my camera.. (with mel around.. its impossible NOT to take pics)

and finally confirmed genting liao.. so happy!! here's the list.. me, alex, hao, terence, aishah, farissa, cassandra, amelia, tracy, kelly, felicia, crystal and danni... 13 pax, so must squeeze a bit since the hotel room could only accommodate 4... and didn't go grasslands loh cuz the one at school promised that everybody got 2 breakfast while didn't turn out that way after we booked the thing... only have 4 breakfasts per room, meaning that we'd all get to eat on the first day and eat grass on the second.. kinda felt ripped off.. but alas, what to do? but still looking forward to it though.. :) 10/11/12... 19 days to go!!!!

2004-07-14T20:45:00.000+08:00

as you can see people.. i FINALLY got a tag board!! haha... so people.. tag, tag TAG!!!

anyways, here's a lowdown on the past week...

went to watch spiderman with a lotta people last wed.. hmm let me see.. christine tang, fer, amanda, carene, di, kelly, amelia, hao, alex, terence, tracy, far and danni... quite a nice show in the sense that i tot it was nicer that the first one, but the girls tot that it was kinda cheesy... :( quote fer "i am your bread, you are my butter" -rolls eyes-

nowadays are kinda filled with projects and stuff.. discussions etc.. though days are quite long.. its fun and enjoyable.. so well people.. i AM enjoying myself! hehe...

went to watch mean girls with neph today.. nice show, though i gotta admit that it was like a chick flick loh.. but i enjoyed it though plus the fact that linsay lohan absoulutely rocked!! she is so so so pretty! :) highly recommended...
but something malu happened loh.. there were like 3 ahmad ibrahim girls and one of them accidentally knocked OFF my coke loh.. and it spilled all over the next seat.. so so so MALU!!!! and the girl who knocked it off didn't even apologise.. but i was kinda cool about it cuz couldn't really blame her loh.. but her friend was nice in the sense that she wanted to offer me her drink.. but its ok loh... still malu though.. ;)

going genting with alex, terence, kelly, tracy, hao, far, aishah, amelia, crystal, danni and cass during term break.. think gonna enjoy it lots.. looking forward.. 10/11/12 of aug.. can wait!!! genting.. HERE I COME!!! hehe...

Heart of Gold

What is Your Heart REALLY Made of?
brought to you by Quizilla

hehe.. heart of gold... wat ya think?!

2004-07-04T13:59:00.000+08:00

dotz.. jus realised that i haven't really been undating my blog as often or as frequent as before... poly's in full swing now and my class rocks compared to lip chun's... poor dude.. but its business information technology after all.. how happening can you get?

hm.. shall attempt to summarise whatever that has happened during the past few weeks in this entry.. so brace yourselves people as this might get quite long.. hehe...

lessons that boon currently has...

-intro to hospi and touri (interesting)
-business computing skills (boring)
-applied principles for effective living (apel)(contact time)
-travel geography (virtual lesson)
-microeconomics (dotz.)
-communication skills (think gp)
-tourism transport business (virtual lesson again)
-fundamentals of food and beverage science (always gets zifu and me hungry)

intro to hospi and touri
well, contrary to popular opinion, i actually like intro to hospi and touri.. i think that though its quite dry, the syallabus is actually quite practical in the sense that you DO get to know more about how the whole industry operates and i think its quite essential for us when we get into the real world...

business computing skills
this has gotta be like one of the most boring subjects ever.. i mean how interesting can it get when the first few lects are based on information technology and you? and the lecturer's jus so monotonous that the students are dropping like dead flies.. (myself included) thank god that this is jus an hour lecture otherwise i might jus collapse... haha... and we get to learn dreamweaver and microsoft excel during the THREE HOUR lab lesson, which basically is tutorial as well.. and i think that lab lessons are basically not that good (ie useless) cuz people are like using msn and updating blogs when the teacher's teaching and nobody really listens much...

applied principles for effective living
this really is civics and moral education poly style. and it includeds topics like knowing me knowing you , identifying one's purpose in life , sowing the seeds of effective living , NAVIGATING THE CROSSROADS OF LIFE. dotz. i mean, how duh can you get?

travel geography + tourism transport business
since they are about the same, shall jus talk about them together. basically, both are online lessons, meaning that the teacher would not be in class and you need not be in school for both lessons. which is really quite stupid considering the fact that they are both in the morning and i still have lessons in the later part of the day, separated by an hour's break, which means that i still have to come to school early in the morning... which means, dotz.

microeconomics
guess everyone knows what microecons is lah. and jus about everybody knows that i absolutely suck at econs. and the lecturer is like going super fast loh. i mean, she covered whatever i learnt in 3 months into like less that 3 hours loh. and that's super man. tutorials are still ok. at least for the moment. geez.

communication skills
this is one topic that i really like cuz it's basically like, jus talking and discussions. written stuff are kept to a minimum and the teacher jus rocks man. intelligent discussions are the rule of the day and i often walk out of the tutorial room feeling spent as i've jus spent the better part of 2 hours arguing with my classmates on topics that could jus go on forever. pros and cons of cloning. destiny vs faith. nature vs nurture. interesting. very.

fundamentals of food and beverage science
haha. this has jus gotta be the most interesting yet most detestful subject ever. i mean we get to learn about like choosing fresh foods and stuff like that, this being a foundation course to culinary science next year. the bad thing is that we spend 2 whole hours discussing food. like what is the most delicious food ever and stuff like that. which seriously can be a torture when you skip breakfast every day like i do. that always results in my class practically scrambling to the canteen after lesson cuz we're really like that hungry.

yup. that's kinda what i'll have to go through till the end of the year. quite different though from secondary and jc cuz its really really independent and the format of lessons are a far cry from that of the past and there are like twenty thousand projects to be done cuz exams do not weigh that much. but i like it cuz it gives you more free time to do whatever you want and hence i've spent quite a lotta time on the badminton courts and been hitting the gym once in a blue moon (and a very blue moon at that). also, i think i'm gonna spend a lotta time on ccas. lets see...

speaking of ccas, i'm currently in the community service club and i'm joining the adventure camp together with like 3/4 of the class so most prob i might join the adventure club (think odac)as well. also, i'm so joining the pacesetters, which is basically the student ambassadors of the poly, ie they entertain vips and do hostings and stuff. and i'm kinda torn between running for union (council) and the hospitality and tourism interest group. add chinese orchestra and wakeboarding to that. dotz. really a lot loh... haha. but will cut one lah. most prob it will be com service + pace setters + wakeboarding loh. watcha think?

went with amanda, hao, amelia, kelly, christine tang, gladys, audrey, diana, crystal and tracy (brother!!) to catch windstruck on fri... was an ok show loh but the gals were like crying loh, some of them throughout the whole show. sorry gals, but hao and i were like laughing thoroughout the show loh... and its really kinda funny and that resulted in us being labelled sadists i mean what.... never mind.. anyways, i could have cried if not for the fact that i was so so so urgent for the last 1/2 hour that my concentration was elsewhere (you know what i mean) and not so much on the film. apparently hao was too and we practically RAN to the gents loh... haha..

met with my pri school people on fri as well for dinner.. apparently we are always meeting for dinner. and always returning home like well pass midnight. but heck. met with jeremy, grace, daniel, tommy, xinyi, lisa, jiale and jinyi den went to swensons and had dinner which resulted in us ordering like 20 scoops of ice cream... haha... talked a lotta crap loh and den went to yishun park again jus to talk and do nothing. jiale was so creeped out loh cuz it was like 12+ already and we were trying to scare the living daylights outta her.. sorry! and it was kinda enjoying too, cuz really haven seen grace, lisa, and xinyi for the longest time ever, so it was great jus catching up...

random thought: the western food at the mensa 2 canteen is jus GREAT!!! i mean having such wonderful soups and meals at such affordable prices... and pacific dory with butter sauce at $3.20?!?! i mean i wouldn't be surprised if it costs $32 outside loh (maybe not that much lah) but its really value for money loh... :)

and to all the jc people, will pray for ya! good grades are on the way!! hehe...

and to 46ians. pls pay $5 tmr k and the travel transport business will be on as usual on thurs. meanin we'll have to find another day to watch spiderman loh.. haiz. nvm lah. peeps, have fun this weekend (or whatever that is left of it) and i'll see ya tmr k!

peace...

2004-06-29T15:10:00.000+08:00

i'm now sitting in the computer lab loh, in the middle of a 3 hour lab lesson and its boring the hell outta me... i mean 3 hours of BCS (business computing skills).. how to tahan?!?

update.
poly's real fun and its very very independent loh.. and i'm kinda glad that i sorta made the right choice of coming to hospitality and tourism.. school's great and the classmates are well.. um very hospitable?!

will be updating later again.. so bored... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

2004-06-22T20:23:00.000+08:00

update.lowdown.wateva.

5 June - ~~recover (singapore idol audition?)~~ never go.
7 June - ~~freshman camp @ temasek poly~~
8 June - ~~freshman camp @ temasek poly~~
9 June - ~~freshman camp @ temasek poly~~
12 June - ~~singapore idol audition (malu)~~
14 June - ~~tp business school orientation~~
15 June - ~~tp business school orientation~~
21 June - ~~term commences. (at last)~~

yup.. all the activities have passed.. its now time to seriously pack up my feelings and study for the diploma... today was quite alright.. had microecons lecture in the morning.. quite scary though cuz the lecturer managed to squeeze like everything i learnt in aj into like 1.5 hours lecture loh.. thank god i did stuff like opportunity cost and ppc b4. otherwise sure die.. i dunno how the others are though... quite a lotta blur faces when they walked out of the lt.. hehe...

went with the class, well most of them, to tampines mall after much delay cuz we had like 2.5 hours to kill... though it was kinda a duh trip cuz we jus at in the food court and played in toy-r-us. yes PLAYED. but that was fun. seriously.

den attended the basic computing skills (bcs) lab lesson.. three hours. but quite ok though cuz finally got out usernames and passwords to access the tp internet... which is kinda cool compared to IVLE.. (sorry peeps) and got to design webpage using dreamweaver.. (my dream holiday anyone?) hehe...

and somehow or another, the amount each person has to pay has ballooned to $30... let me attempt to break it down otherwise pple will start saying that i swallow money.. :(
$15 for orientation package, $6.50 for APEL book, and the rest will go into photocopying notes.. which is kinda a hassle cuz the printer's located in school of it and i have to walk over there like almost everyday to collect stuff? dotz.

and good news.. tmr i only have to attend 1 hour lecture will do but meeting christine and josephine to do the bsc work... so gotta wake up earlier again... but its kinda alright, not complaining. much.

den gotta go down to science centre again to collect my paycheck and topup my shortages... kinda stupid loh cuz they cannot subtract the shortages from my paycheck and i've got to like travel from one part of the island to another just to settle it.. dotz. waste my time. hope i'll never need to step into science centre again after tomorrow.. crossing my fingers..

2004-06-21T23:21:00.000+08:00

first day @ school.. woohoo!

been living on a sugar rush these few days.. dotz.. quite hyper.. hope it will gradually subside...

today's the first day of the new term @ temasek poly and it officially marks my arrival as a freshie.. and my lessons where kinda great cuz i had to go to school for the whole of 2 hours only.

the lesson's kinda duh. intro to hospitality and tourism.. how boring can it get? and mr low's jus kinda lame at times.. which is GOOD otherwise i'll just drop dead. wat to do, he's my care person.. but the content itself was interesting loh, and i was copying notes like crazy. which was very enjoyable as i've not done that for a LONG time..

and i've jus been saboed into the role of class rep (aka pd rep) by my fellow 46-ians... yeah! way to go! -_-''' haiz. pple, pls bring $15 tmr for the orientation kit k? thanks!

the book for intro to hospi and touri costs $44.. which was kinda ok in my opinion (and terence's) cuz the other sujects would most prob cost more.. and it lasts three years.. or in the words of mr low "even after you graduate, these books can last you a lifetime" oh pls...

tmr meeting the class for lunch (cuz some people too lazy to meet for breakfast, myself included) and having microECONS lecture early in the morning at 10! dotz. and no apel (applied principles for effective living) somemore.. 2 hours break. guess we're gonna slack @ biz park...

gonna go watch the notebook!!! can't wait. a HUGE tearjerker i think... but hope will not cry!

2004-06-15T00:54:00.000+08:00

i believe... by diana degarmo... though fantasia won the competition and this IS gonna be her song... i felt that it was diana who truly made the song come alive... though cliched, she blew me away...

-lyrics by boonz- ^_^

I believe – Diana Degarmo

Wooohoooo hmmm

Have you ever reached the rainbow’s end
Did you find your pot of gold

Ever catch a shooting star
Tell me how high did you soar

Ever felt like you were dreaming
Just to find that you’re awake

Cause the magic that’s around you
Will lift you up and guide you on your way

I can see it in the stars across the sky
I dreamed a hundred thousand dreams before now I finally realized
See I’ve waited all my life for this moment to arrive
Finally.. yeah

I believe in the impossible if I reached deep within my heart
Overcome any obstacles won’t let the street fall apart
See I’ve got to be the very best shine my life for all to see
Cause anything is possible

When you believe (yeah yeah e yeah)
(I can see it in the stars across the sky)
I dreamed a hundred thousand dreams before now I finally realized
I’ve waited all my life for this moment to arrive

Finally..
I believe..
Yes I believe.. oh oh yeah..

Love keeps lifting me higher (lifting me higher)
Love keeps lifting me higher
I say love keeps lifting love keeps lifting me high
I say (love) love keeps lifting me higher
I say (love) (oh) love keeps lifting me higher
I say (love) love keeps lifting me high

quite glad that the exhibition is gonna end soon loh.. countdown: 9 days.. i know i'm using my blog as an avenue to complain, but haiz, things are jus sucky now.. apparently everybody's not feelin good now.. hm.. to those who are kinda off right now (you know who you pple are), fret not cuz it might jus be jc that's gettin into u.. well dun! continue to indulge in the simple pleasures of life, be it chatting on the phone or double choc ice cream! tomorrow has GOT to be a better day! cuz boonz's here and always avaliable! (dotz, sounds like mel. its all her fault)

watched van helsing with mu cuzzins and shrek 2 with bren babes yesterday. van helsing was so so loh, ur typical scare movie. though it might sound distasteful, truth be told, i was scared stiff at some parts.. and shrek 2 absoultely rocked! ***** out of ***** man! with its many parodies and spoofs, and not forgetting antonio banderas' puss in boots which stole the show right under the noses of shrek(mike-austinpowers-myers), princess fiona (cameron-look i'm a charlie's angel-diaz) and shrek 1's scene stealer, donkey (eddie-i a m a funny man-murphy). it was clearly a winner in its own... (ps i sound like i'm reviewing the movies)(pps eight days, first mag, wateva mag, if you happen to read this and need a movie reviewer, i'm ALWAYS avaliable!)

bren babes seriously also rocked big time.. now that i've started calling him babes, i can't lose it loh.. so he's now officially known as my babes! cheer up k!

2004-05-23T20:03:00.000+08:00

my best friend.

We sat, holding the telephone to our ears, not saying a single thing to each other.

No, it was not that we had nothing to say but we were indulging in the sort of silence which both of us enjoyed a lot. Like people always say, the best kind of relationship is the kind which both parties have attained a mutual understanding and without a single word said, they can connect their hearts and communicate their thoughts. It sounds romantic right? Wrong. Because this man that I was sitting together with was not my -ah hem- but my best friend.

I no longer try to find words to describe this relationship because there is simply no language that I can use to do so. It is not something that can be fully understood using ABCs. This man who I share mental intimacy with is not my girlfriend but yet he is important in my life. And I only see him like 5 times in a whole year but yet; I dare say we are close. I know that whenever I have problems, he will be the one whom I can share my thoughts with. I am not afraid of showing him the ugly side of me, knowing that however ugly I am, he will still accept me as what I am. He also understands that he can depend on me and I will be the last person who will look down on him. Even if everyone in the world did.

No doubt all the above elements would bring to fruition a very meaningful relationship but we do not want it that way. The chemistry and magic of this relationship is not based on doing stuff but stems from knowing the fact that we have a little place in each others' heart and that is it. That is enough to make me a very happy person.

Many friends gave up understanding this bizarre relationship of mine. Some say that they are green with envy for I have such a good friend whom I can turn to. People can say whatever they want or even call me names for being so close to someone. But I beg to differ. I know that I want the relationship to remain the way it is...

Because he is my best friend and I will not allow anything to destroy the beautiful chemistry between us... Not for anything in the world.

2004-05-17T20:58:00.000+08:00

oh. really?

2004-05-16T00:19:00.000+08:00

SIX FIFTY K!!! hehe... den on top of it still got allowance so all in all bout S$100++ earned that day... which roughly equals to my 3 day salary working at the lotr exhibition? dotz. and somemore time passed extremely quickly loh and the people there absolutely rocks... as compared to science centre... pa bang (hit mosquitoes)everyday... haiz... but since exhibition ending soon right, den so be it loh... :(

14 and 15 science centre and lotr extended their opening hours cuz they have this astronomical carnival to view this two comets loh, which were practically non-existant cuz on 14 it was so cloudy and oo extremely cloudy.. so wat's the point? have to work an extra hour these two days loh.. plus next week as well.. dotz... pple, if you are free on next fri or sat right, pls come down to the singapore science centre... got comets!!! haiz. dotz. -_- ""

tomorrow finally off again... first sunday in a long long time.. certainly lookin forward to it...

the last bus.

The last bus served no one except the couple cuddled together, arm in arm, in the last seat. Girl leaned against his shoulders and looked at him lovingly, almost in a daze, with her doe-like eyes. The speed of the old Mercedes-Benz brought in varying draughts of air. It played with their hair, throwing them into disarray, an effect she found Boy to be fiendishly sexy in. Her left hand reached for his right and she held him tightly.

Boy stared ahead, taking in calculated breaths, one among many other fruitless attempts to calm his nerves and ease his guilt. Slowly, his other hand sandwiched her's and gently nudged it away. Girl was confounded. Though rejection came into her mind, she brushed it off, feeling guilty for that. "Perhaps he was about to retrieve his wallet," she contemplated.

He turned to face her and finally looked at her with his dark-brown eyes. The continuous blasts of air hit her and she began to feel the chill. She was anticipating a deep hug, to share their warmth, but was met with emptiness.

"Girl, I..."

"...love you?" she thought on reflex. It had been long since he last affirmed his love.

"Err..." Boy hesitated as he considered the many synonyms and alternative phrases. "Let's..."

She recalled their first kiss. She thought of the possible continuations and felt her freezing cheeks thaw - she blushed.

"Break up," Boy mouthed, almost inaudible. A tsunami of relief swept him away and apparently distanced from Girl in the comfort of his other love.

If Boy had bothered to watch, he would have seen, slowly, the corners of her beautiful smile dip, her light eyebrows sag, her eyes motionless in disbelief and her rosy face blanch. The pain that registered later triggered the sudden contraction of facial muscles and crumpled her face into numerous folds and furrows. She struggled to look for one last doubt in his face but found indifferent will. Her heart beat with pain and fear but she held on, stood and walked away. Her tears glints on the galvanised steel platform, marking her path.

The din by the grinding of gears from the engines bit into her heart distracted her introspection and brewed the cauldron of sadness, despair and the newly-found hatred that spurred uncontrollable sobbing, wetting the red-velvet seat. The bleak, stony wind seemed to be mocking her for her naivety. The fluorescent lamps stole all hiding places. The clean, crisp air woke her into consciousness and disallowed any attempt to numb herself. It was as though everything encompassing her had gathered in collaboration with Boy and stripped her of dignity, belief in love, pride, sanity and infused her with the tortures of betrayal.

Boy started for the exit as the next stop neared. He walked without remorse, as though nothing could perturb him. Her eyes followed him, seeking solace, as he walked down the stairs. The bus sped away and he could not be seen.

"Happy Birthday Girl!" Girl's parents greeted as she ascended the door steps. "What did Boy give you as your present?"

The appalling truth.

hey pple.. wrote this in the spur of the moment... kinda like yin yue ri ji on the radio... hope u pple like it.. hehe...

2004-04-17T23:18:00.000+08:00

hey.. its me again.. been on an emotional rollercoaster this whole week... but details too deep to reveal lah... jus wanna say i had some extremely high points and some extremely low points... dunno wat to say... dunno wat to reveal... so jus started a diary loh so i can write everything and anything... sorry lah peeps, but some things really cannot say out loud

now seriously considering finding another job for these reasons:

1. pay is ok... but the no of days working and the hours per day are horrible
2. some pple (no names mentioned) are just down right disgusting
3. i dun like the idea of being paid to do nothing loh
4. my brain gets stale sometimes. k a lot of times.

so any lobangs? but truth be told, also quite hard lah to find a job now... time so short.. by the way, gonna go for orientation camp on 7-9 June and orientation starts on the 14 June while school starts on the 21st!! can't wait.

something happened the past few days that really made me rethink wat frenship really means to me and wat kind of a fren i have been to pple... the happenings that day really was like the most miserable i ever had to go thru... never had i been so down in the pits before... never did i have so many highs that came tumbling down so fast.. never had i shed tears for someone... for something that might seem so insignificant to other... never had i felt this wat before... and never will again...

2004-04-11T23:11:00.000+08:00

been having fun these few days... hehe... lets see, sat went for prick's gig with bren, quite fun loh cuz had the chance to talk to him a lot more. and hence got to understand him more also... you rock man bren.. BIG TIME!!

also went for mel's baptism, very interesting loh... but one thing turned me off... sorry but i'll be direct... i dun like the way faith is professed in the church, cuz they are like exclaiming "praise the lord" or something very extreme... dunno lah, but its a bit much for me lah... like the catholic ones better cuz they are much more solemn and kinda my style... but was really happy for mel loh, cuz she waited so long for this day to arrive.. but i felt that the priest was like drowning her and everyone else loh... couldn't he give them sometime to breathe? but i felt like v extra loh... was like doing manual labour for the church cuz was helping them hold door and keep chairs and stuff... haiz...

today was darn fun also loh... cuz met up with jo and ber and bert.. long time never see the former two... but its quite stupid loh cuz i never knew how one could spend like 6+ hours in sembawang shopping centre loh... first it was sakae.. den stoned around in GIANT... den met ber and it was kfc... den satay club... dunno how one can eat so much loh... like shi zi lu kou like that... hehe... i reckon that satay club looks like malaysia loh... so malay.. den sights, sounds, pple.. jo was commenting on that also... den we talked crap lah.. and made agreement to go holidaying in somewhere overseas after their a's... hong kong? thailand? scantinavia?? hehe...
