University holidays like finally...................... And it's my birthday month!!! Hoooo!! Haha!!!

It is like april already. Time really flies, my university holidays is finally already here BUT the 1 month long holiday only left less than 2 weeks liao. Time seems to fly even faster when u having holidays. Anyways, i still got to finish my 3 assignments which includes 2 essays and 1 short questions paper. Now finally started on the short questions paper and managed to finish i guess. Left 2 essays which is really a headache and harder to do. Haiz!!! Next time i do any sch work this week will be on this friday because there are activities for the next 2 days. Nevertheless, i should concentrate on playing hard as well as working hard for my sch work.

For the past 2 weeks of the holidays, i had spent great time together with mostly my uni friends. We had a cycling trip, birthday presents shopping, birthday celebrations and food feasts. In all of that activities, we really bonded, have fun and enjoyed each others' company. Through that, there was a sch practical report that i managed to finish within 2 days. I also spent some of the days working at my workplace called Universal Studios Singapore(USS) where i always enjoy my time working or playing instead. Haha!!! 

Talking abt USS, i been working there since my poly days and this Saturday on 6 april 2013 will be my third year working in the same attraction called Revenge of the Mummy. 3 years ago, i entered this attraction and it is one of my second home since then. I am proud as this is the longest part time job i ever had in my life till now. Although i had seen a lot of managers, leads and crews come and go, being one of the few people after 3 years to be still in the same attraction is really one great accomplishment. Salute myself to reach a milestone like this. Hooooo!!!!!!

Now to focus on the future, on the short term future and on the coming few months, life will be getting busier and more fast pace than before. It's april now and i am less than 2 weeks from university life resuming with classes. I still gt 2 essays to complete. Once sch starts, things will be quite ok during the first week when sch reopens on the 15 april, monday. On that day itself, the only thing is to hand up all the assignments during the holidays. For 16 april(tuesday), there is only a 2-hr lecture and sch ends. For 17 april(wed), there's only a last experimental food science practical with a report to be handed up 1 week after. And the short sch week will just end there with thurs and friday free and a long weekend to do the 1 report. Therefore, my birthday which happens to be on thursday should be super safe where i will be allow to enjoy myself to the max i supposed. HOPEFULLY, everything will be great on my actual birthday date. Although i don know what i will be doing that day.  Haha!!! Anyway, the whole of april, i am just looking forward to my birthday.

Thereafter, sch's going pick up pace like nobody's business and packed classes will carry on all the way until may with my first exam on 21st may. The lucky thing for this semester is i have only 3 written exams which does not have higher weightage like in semester 1. The sad thing is written exams is all in essays style questions which i will have to go through and do. Haiz. I hope i can just pass the exams. My last written exam is on 30th may BUT not sure about the 2 practical exams which i will need to go through will be before that after that cause my last exam date is actually 7 june. I can only pray for the best ba. Haha!!!!

After that, going to need to go back for my army reservice which is my first one in 3 years since I ORD 3 years ago. That will be from 10 june - 15 june which is almost for a week. Then i will have the last 9 days before  i fly off to europe on 24 june and after europe, will be the 1-month UK overseas immersion trip from July all the way till 5 August before i finally return to singapore.  Therefore, it seems my life is going to be packed all the way till 5 august which is 4 months worth of activities from now.

Nevertheless, looking forward to my birthday and 'surprise' birthday celebration by university friends which is the first round of birthday celebration with them which i don know which date they will actually pick to celebrate. Just to tell my uni friends, pls nothing for my actual birthday date cause i already gt appointment. Don know who else going to celebrate my birthday this year, let's wait and see. Haha!!!!

After that, can't wait for the europe trip liao but must finish the semester and the exams first. Haiz. Jiayou ba!! However so, i know i will have my group of uni friends where we will be supporting each other throughout this tough period. Hoooo!!! Cheers guys!!!!

Till the next blog post........................................................

Only the second blog post of the year 2013

Last post was about 2013 will bring and what i will actually want for the year 2013. Anyway, this is going to be some random post i will be blogging about. Hardly can find time to blog these days because of my super tight and busy university life up till this moment. Anyway, finally find the time, energy, inspiration and motivation to type this second blog post of the year. Haha!!

These few months in my semester 2 in university, reports written was twice as much as semester 1. Deadline also almost as tight as the first sem. Anyway, exams was taken mid jan to end jan and exam results were out only recently for exams in sem 1 was good for most of the modules except nutrition principles. That module I really scraped through lol. I gt 39% in the exams only plus my 2 common tests which i barely passed, i gt an overall of 42%. Although i failed but overall under newcastle university rules, 40% is considered pass so i am very lucky to scraped thru this first essay style questions exams in my university. I guess i am really weak in answering essay style questions. Furthermore, this type of questions requires tons of information from your memories from what u need to memorise which i am rather weak in. Haiz, what's worse for this sem 2 in my uni life is all the 3 exams end may are essay styles exams which i cannot hide from. Super sian,  uni life overall is good but all the exams super tough. I hope I can survive thru all of them without failing. Let's pray hard, this round of exams in sem 2, i will still be able to scraped through. I don wish for me even if all the modules i gt borderline pass of 40% as required by my university to pass a certain module.

I am really hoping to scape thru the whole of my uni life. I already lost the motivation to study from the start, just need to keep pushing myself towards the end point where all the studies would have ended for me nxt june in year 2014 where i would finally graduated no matter what type of degree i will get. I certainly don care as long as i get the cert and i can get a good career out of the certificate. Haha, i will be the happiest person that time where i would finally stop studying for good. 

Anyways, back to the fun part of my uni life, let's stop the studying part for now! Fun times almost coming as i look forward to the europe tour in Italy, switzerland and france. Thereafter, i would be in newcastle for my overseas immersion program for a whole month. Therefore, i would be spending abt a total of 1 and a half months abroad and not in singapore from 24 june all the way till 5 august before i would return. However, i hope the europe tour will not be cancelled last minute cause as of now, there's only 9 people which includes me in the tour and a mininum of 15 is required to start the tour. Chances of the tour being cancelled will be there. The 9 of us can only hope and pray that this trip will not be cancelled making our flight tickets more expensive in the end. Nevertheless, there's 2 sides to the story, even without the tour, we can go free and easy ourselves but we will be in strange land where ducks talk to chicken as in some parts of europe, people don really speak english. To me, this are all adventures that will bring maximum fun and enjoyment to everyone, although to some, it may not be. Anyway, as free n easy maybe we will be an even bigger group together rather than on the tour package with just the 9 of us. Free n easy is also cheaper for most of us except for the plane tickets prices which will already soared to a new high by may. Anyway, i am fine with both choices and whichever i will be blessed with. I am sure i will be happy in the end. Haha, let's see what fate have installed for me and my friends.

As well for newcastle month long trip, arranging the whole class into groups of 6 for the sch hostel stay  is really no easy task. Although the choice is yours, i guess some groups are not really lucky. As for my group of uni friends, we don have problems as my whole clique of 10 persons only have 3 guys so we can stick together. For the girls, it is harder i guess as they will have to split. But eventually, everyone have their own group that somehow they are comfortable with. Haha! I guess most of the things are settle for now. I guess the whole class only our clique + 2 guys who joined the other 4 girls have the mixed gender hostels. Somehow my uni clique always unique in one way or another. Proud to be in my clique, we are always doing fun things together and our personalities somehow click with one another. Lucky and thank god, we are all fun loving people who loves hanging out with one another. Glad and grateful to everyone of them. I guess people in this clique feel this way too. Haha! This is just great. Come to think of it, it will mark one of us my best times spent studying after ITE life. Poly life for me was way too normal and more about studying instead of playing. My uni life with my uni clique will be the best way to end with all the fun people around. Hooo, Cheers to my uni clique of friends, Lester, guo wei, pei yun, rachel, jennifer, ying xian, chong yi, kayam, huiru. Let's pull through this together and graduate next june 2014. Jiayou everyone!!!!

Moving on, from what i observed in my uni life, i think guys in uni really like the company of uni girls. At least, i feel that is true in my course. Haha. This is especially true if the guys including myself who don have girlfriends. U can call this desperate in one sense i guess. But on the other hand, this is opportunities for single guys like me and generally guys in my class are quite well behaved and decent except 1 guy which most girls in the class generally avoid. Futhermore, guys like me, after university will find it harder to find girlfriends i think as this will really depend on where u are working in the future. Therefore, university life presents the one of the last few opportunities to get a girlfriend when u are young. Or else, after uni life, u may have to wait even longer to get a girlfriend. For me, choices can be from university or my current workplace at universal studios singapore. Even if i have a target in mind, i will need to learn to be open to any opportunity that may open. Although the target may be the ideal case for me which i want, sometimes, u also nd to know if the girl actually and test how the girl would feel abt u. Therefore, it is not as easy as what u think and want. Whether to continue, sometimes, it may be a struggle. Hang on and wait patiently i will. Haha!

For some reason, all my friends around me, they always have a common question for me. This question is why u have so my girls as friends and yet u don even have a girlfriend up till now. Sometimes i also wonder. This is just so so sad. Haiz. U can tell them tons of excuses but maybe i am just running away from it. I  think i have been loving girls that i like BUT it is always one-sided i think. End of the day, i just cannot make myself tell them how much i love them. Anyway, maybe i am scared of rejections or because i was rejected before. Haha!! Life's is just like that right? I still will continue being the happy-go-lucky and cheerful guy that always lack the part of the life which is 'LOVE'. Haiz. Ever patiently waiting. Haha!!!!!!!!! Jiayou Yong Chiang!!! Hoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New year, first blog post of year 2013

Hey, it's been only the second day of 2013. For the new year of 2013 which started for me with a countdown at one of my ex-colleagues' home. Lucky for me, it was near my home, to be exact, just 1 MRT stattion away which obviously was not very far. And with buses and trains running late throughout the nite, i took a bus home. Was still hungry from the BBQ at his home, so i headed to 'Kopitiam' near hougang mall where it was 24hrs operated to eat wanton noodles where i ordered for extra noodles to be added. After that, i went home walking and reach home almost 2am. I slept for 4hrs plus before waking up for work at abt 6.30am where my new year's day started. Managed to reach Harbourfront early so went to eat mac's breakfast at harbourfront centre.

My first working day on the first day of 2013 started good i guess considering everyone that supposed to come work had turned up for the opening of the ride. As expected, closing for the day already not enough people and still had people not turning up for work, end up only 2 persons for closing plus lead and controls only 4 persons lol. Anyway, the whole day was spent on minimal manpower as only then will we have breaks. The lucky thing is the whole day was not really busy and we managed to keep our waiting time to the minimal too. Most of us did not want to extend to help out closing as we were almost half dead. Anyway, eventually all of us from opening went home at 6pm, leaving a manager, lead and 2 crews and a control personal and 2 rescues freezing in positions for the last hour. Eventually all of managed to push through an entire day of working with everyone's help i think. Proud of a team effort by everyone that day!!! Hooooo!!!

Anyway, 3rd day of the new year is upon us as i typed this blog post. For this new year of 2013, it will be entirely different from 2012 as i will spent most of my time studying and concentrating on my studies and being a student. Although i will still be working at my favourite workplace of Universal studios singapore(USS), i will be spending lesser time working and more time being a full time university student. As for this new year, i will hope to successfully do well enough to progress to my final year which is near october this year in my degree programme.

As i state over a few years, i been long overdue in looking for a love of my life, will 2013 be the year which i actually find a girlfriend? Actually, i don know. Knowing my character, it makes the chance very slim and it is actually saddening. If u guys don know, my weak and shy character towards girls i like, don allow me to confess my actual feelings for them. That's why it is very hard for me, even with a targeted girl in mind. Nevertheless, in this new year of 2013, i hope to keep my options open all the time and being as open-minded as possible, and hopefully i will find a girl which i like and she likes me too. I believe in miracles and i really someday it will happen to me. I been praying all the time, is 2013 finally the time for me to complete the missing part in my life? Haiz, i guess only by the end of the year i will know!!! Haha!!!!!!
