Birthday week!!!!!! Hoooo!!!!!!!!!!

Now, this post is about my birthday week for almost 5 days!! Haha!! Guess that i use this time to give out souvenirs to my major groups of friends since i came back to singapore from taiwan 1 week ago. Nevertheless,
this maybe the first time i celebrated my birthday in a few different days altogether!! Haha!!!

Anyway, birthday week started early for me i guess as it started on a sunday which is on 15 april 2012. On this date, it was celebrated by my group of friends in USS. The date is coincidence with the celebration i had with them last week which follow on the same date of 15 april.
With them, last year's birthday celebrations and presents i received was great so was it for this year's birthday celebrations. Last year celebrations was just dinner but a huge group of them came, i also rec'd a big farewell cum birthday card which is one of the first big birthday card that i had rec'd in my life. I rec'd a bag from them also. And from another group of them, i got a cap and a shirt.
For this year's celebrations, it started with cycling with lunch in between at macdonalds. We rented the bike for 3 hours and actually cycled for abt 2 hours as we had lunch in between. Although this year's celebration had lesser people than last year, it was still as great a celebration for me. Cycling had rahayu, ying fang, dai kai, amy, serene and me. Rahayu left us after cycling, we headed for marina square supposedly for bowling but it was full so we headed to playing pool first. Serene left us after playing pool. However in a funny twist of events, when we played pool for abt 30mins before bowling was available for us. After which, we headed straight for bowling where we played for abt 1 hour for only 1 game as we need to meet the rest for dinner. Most of them reach by 7.30pm where i still didn't know what to eat. Ya, forget to mentioned we met jasmine, zack, zen, tommy and posic for dinner  While deciding where to eat, we headed here and there in marina square before decided to head to citylink mall in search of a dinning place. Finally, due to hungry people like jasmine, zen and zack. I just anyhow decided to enter 'Asian kitchen' a so-called Chinese restaurant. The food was as normal as any food court i could say. Anyway, a birthday cake was bought in the process by amy, ying fang and dai kai! Although it is meant to be a surprise, i know it will not be a surprise for me as they took rather long in their 'shopping' of  the cake and with the superior observant skills that i have and possessed. It was a long dinner throughout as we chatted, catch up, eat and i gave out the souvenirs i bought from taiwan and being the first group of friends that celebrated my birthday, they got to choose first as i brought all my souvenirs. After the whole dinner, i was handed the birthday cake and also the presents they bought for me which were a wallet and a formal analog watch and not forgetting the small birthday card for this year. Of course, in this event, how can we ever forget the photos taken during dinner and of course after getting out of the restaurant. Wonderful photos as memories to capped off one more enjoyable and fun birthday celebrations with my USS friends.

Thanks for the wonderful birthday celebrations i had with u guys for the these 2 years. U guys, my USS friends are one of the best batch of friends and all the presents i rec'd with the wonderful birthday celebrations altogether will stay as fresh in my mind. Hoping for better future birthday celebrations with u guys. Love u guys!!! Hooooo!!!!!!

As sunday 15 april passed, there came 16 april which was a monday. I started the day late as i slept late and went down my grandma's as she required me to read some letter of concern regarding her. Some valuable time spent with my grandma's from afternoon to evening before i met up with my secondary school friends(azli, jeremy, saleh) in the night for dinner and chit-chat plus monopoly deal playing session. I guess i knew with them, i always end up going home late and guess what time i reach home. Haha!! This is about 1.30am when i reach home. Anyway, it was great just chilling at macdonald's toa payoh near library. Wondered how i got home? Got home on bike just like always. Thanks Saleh always for sending me home!!! Ya, i also gave out my taiwan souvenirs during this short gathering i had.  Although not exactly a birthday celebration for me, i still enjoyed the time i had with them.

For the next day which is 17 april, i didn't do much, just went back to singapore poly to pass my taiwan souvenirs to ms kelly.  I spent time in singapore poly library after that as i didn't had anything to do until my last Remedial training/ compulsory exercise in army which was in the evening.

On the actual day of my birthday which was on the18 april, a wednesday. I went to jb for my birthday trip. Anyway, met up with wee kiong, yiqi and kenny that day. It was business as usual for a JB trip, we went for sushi king where we had lunch. After lunch, we went to buy dvds where i then realised i haven came to JB since the year started. I bought a total of 18 dvds this time. Although not the most in my record, but it was 1 of the highest in my record. Starting the first JB trip this year, i guess u can say it is a good start which happens to be on my birthday.After buying dvds, we headed for KSL city for some shopping but not for the guys i guess. Just for yiqi i guess. Anyway, we managed to watch a movie there too!!We watched 'Battleship' and i feel it is quite a good action movie altogether. After movie, we went for dinner as we had seafood and i got to order as it was my birthday. Haha thanks guys!!!! Ya, i also got to give out my taiwan souvenirs.

On the 19 april, the day after my birthday, i had a singapore institute of technology interview for a degree course in food and human nutrition. I wake up early as my interview was scheduled at 10.30am and i scared i will take some time to find the place so i left home early. In the end, i got there about 10am. I actually did a bit of preparation only  for the interview as it was a first of such  interview i had. Anyway, i hope i did ok and got accepted into the university!!! May good results come!! I really want to finish my education path lol!!! Hope good news will come!!! Anyway, that afternoon met up with 1 of my poly friends staying in hougang and had lunch together with some catching up done. In the evening, met up with my army friends(Lian siah, bernard, kok tong and ah q) for dinner and also pool playing session. Thanks for the birthday treat at pizza hut. Anyway, was another great meetup cum birthday celebrations for me. I also got to give my souvenirs out. Haha!!!  

That's all about my birthday week i guess!!! And i got to meet all my major groups of friends!!! Hooo!!!! Thank you to all!!!!!

It's been a long time and i am officially not a student liao.......

It's been a long time already. My last post was about almost 2 months ago. After that, i proceeded to studying for my final round of exams and finally finished with my studies and exams end of February. Then i waited for my results of the exam which was released 1 month after my exams. In the meantime, i went back to Universal studios(USS) to work and i was also busy with my Remedial training(RT) or compulsory exercise in army. It feels good, keeping fit and also working meaning i also have a source of income to survive the aftermath of graduating soon. Haha!!!

Anyway, my exam results finally came and i did not do as well as i expected. And what was most disappointing is my final sem results actually dropped and this affected my final and cumulative GPA as i did not managed to get a final GPA of 3.5 BUT it was as close as i can get which is 3.487. Anyway, in my long education, i always did not get what i want, it was always this close!! I guess i need to get used to it so that i will not get disappointed all the time in my academic life!! Sian!!!!
The only good thing out of the disappointment is i finally going to graduate and end my poly education life. I am done with singapore polytechnic after 3 long years of travelling to dover from hougang. Graduation date is set on 22nd may on a tuesday where i will don on the graduation suit and officially be called a singapore polyechnic diploma holder and a graduate.

After my exam results released, i was on the course to celebrate with 6 of my classmates on a graduation trip to taiwan for 12 days. We left singapore on 30 march till 10 april when we came back home. It was a fun, tiring and enjoyable trip and this marks the first time i left singapore for my longest overseas holidays that i had in my lifetime up till now!! I had look forward to this grad trip ever since the 7 of us booked this trip in December last year!! It is also one of the top countries which i wish to visit lol!! Haha!! Nevertheless, I finally step foot on taiwan for the first time. It was a great place to be in with great weather, the best wind ever to me and also heart warming people around. 12 days was not long or was it short too!! Anyway, after the whole trip, i still think i have the need to go back as we did not finished walking finished taiwan yet. It was also one of the most memorable trip i spent with my poly classmates. All the joy, laughter and enjoyment we had with one another that i will nvr forget.

Tired liao!!! Will continue tomo!!!! Hooo!!!!
