However, did actually take a break this week with us doing FYP only on monday. I went to KL for a short trip with my 2 of my friends from thursday to yesterday which is a saturday. Hope i had recharge enough with this overseas trip. Anyway, done some last minute shopping b4 i left KL with buying of a t-shirt, shoes, socks and a A&W mug. This trip was relaxing, enjoyable and fun.

Already looking forward to my next trip which is to bangkok which will be the third country i ever visited and it will be with my family members.

Feelings........................

I guess memories of my mother is flowing around, guess i am glad that the whole family especially my grandma remembers her the most. Now that she's not around anymore, i can see that grandma had lost a soul mate which can accompany her out to different places and actually talk to her almost everyday, always around with her. I guess memories of her flow throughout all my family members' mind. Whenever i went to visit my grandma, somehow, there will be something about my beloved mother. And sometimes this brings me to great memories of her in my mind, somehow it also makes me sad that she's not around anymore. Guess this is how you will when a loved one is not around.

Today, father and brother went to bangkok with the rest of my other family members leaving me alone at home for these 4 days. Anyway, tonite had dinner with buying fruits for praying tomo and keeping the dried clothes all alone. First time so lonely and kind of sad being alone. Anyway, this is the first time in my life, i am alone at home lol. Anyway, hope to get by these few days quickly. While eating dinner, the fish store auntie also notice and asked where is my mother. When she asked for the first time, i sort of stumbled a bit as i didn't know how to answer. In the end, i guess she say is she at home and i sort of agreed and end the conversation. At the point, memories of her appeared in my mind and i know i always love my mother for all the things she did for me. Kind of a sad nite i guess!!!

Loneliness is one thing i hate the most. However, we will eventually have to get by it.

Back from China 3 weeks ago, just started school few days ago!!!!

It's another few months since i type on my blog, tried to update in China but to no avail. Anyway, Dalian's study trip was quite a blast and Beijing's tour was nothing much more than a bore. That so how sums up the 2 months there. Somehow, there was more bonding in my class than ever before, as usual, good and bad things happened over there. In the end, one of the good things was the love blossoms and couple formation in my class(BS and C). Feel really happy for them and hope their love will last forever. A particular guy from my class became the single most annoying and irritating person in the whole stage. Everyone seem to dislike him and facts of him uncover itself in China. Besides this few things that i mentioned, i guess there were others like S and JL issues which bother some of my classmates and more importantly, the 2 lecturers with us. Being a lecturer is not easy and at times difficult as you will have to deal with all the problems that the students give you, be it emotionally, academically, socially and etc.


Some of the things i gain from the trip was different things about JH who is my room mate during these 2 months, he is the one who also make me miss 2 of the factory visits, seeing a love story from start till finally it blossoms and the couple formed and in the whole process trying to make sure that it actually will happen with the rest of my friends. Enjoying the great and cooling weather China offers with dirt and smoke pollution everywhere. Drinking mineral water for the whole of the 2 months there, the most mineral water that i ever drank in my lifetime up till now. Tasting the awesome and cheap seafood found there.


Guess coming back to singapore means more work to do as my group and i started doing an assignment due that very friday on 10 june. Immediately we went back school to start the assignment the next day after we reach singapore. For the rest of the holidays, i spent most of my time in school doing my final year project.Anyway, started the second term this week and on the very first day, received an assignment liao. The stress really starting to pile i guess.


Back to the holidays, besides going back sch, i also have some time to visit my grandma along with the rest of my family members. Also get to meet some of my friends and also friends from work as i resume work on saturdays at universal studios liao.

Great memories with quite a great bunch of people!!!!! Hoo!! Cheers to all the OIPers!!!!!

Heading into the last week of my internship.........

This is almost the end of week 5 of my 6-week internship program at aceford food industry. I guess i learnt quite a lot during my short period of stay in this company. Tomo shall be attending a food safety management team meeting, it is quite a formal meeting i think. First time, in a meeting with my supervisor and also with the company's GM and senior managers. Quite nervous actually for tomo. Come to think of it, actually i don think i will be asked any questions, just sitting in the meeting ba. Anyway, i went to cut my hair specially for the meeting to have a good impression during the meeting. Actually i wanted to cut during next week b4 i fly off to dalian. Anyway, i hope this short haircut i have now can last till i come back to singapore in june. My hair is like super short now. Haha!

This week also marks the first anniversary yearwhere i work in universal studios . I can't believe i actually work in universal studios for a year liao. Anyway, till now, i had been working at Revenge of the Mummy( indoor roller coaster). Through this 1 year alone, i had seen 3 managers, change of leads although some still remaining, promotion of some of the team members and friends. Transferring out of some of my ROM friends and lots and lots of new faces coming into this attraction. A lot more changes is to be expected in this few months. As i will be heading off to Dalian, China on 16 april(sat), my last working day will be this sunday 10 april which also happens to be the last sunday i will be having in singapore and this is dedicated to my ROM friends i guess. Anyway, i hope that when i return to work after 7 june which is abt 2 months later, the changes in ROM is not very big.
Anyway, will be looking forward to the last 2 events(gatherings i like to call) before i leave for Dalian which is joelin's bf birthday surprise celebration on sat and my advance birthday celebration on 15 april (fri)which is also my last day in singapore and last day of my internship. Ya, i hope i remember to bring the titbits we all shared and bought in our last JB trip to pass to joelin on sat! Haha!! Can any kind souls please remind me? Thanks!!!

Till then.......

Almost forgotten i had a blog.........................


It's 2011 first blog post. It's quite a shock. Time really flies! It's been 10 long months since i last type on my blog. I guess i was busy and stressed up with school work until i was so lazy to type on my blog.
Anyway, i was also busy during Saturdays working at universal studios and Sunday going out with my different groups of friends.

The time when i left off the last 6 months of 2010, i was busy with assignments, projects, tests and exams and not forgetting the chalet during the YOG holidays before the exams plus after the exams working in universal studios during the September holidays till October where school reopens. In that holidays, i also managed to go on a short holiday trip to KL. This short holiday was fulfilling and relaxing as it's been a long time i had travelled to overseas. Anyway, from October to December 2010, tons of things had been happening in my life. A lot of outings was organised and i went out with my universal studios friends more often. It started with the Halloween trips to night safari, then sentosa and an end of the year game event organised by universal studios and all the gatherings and outings carried on till 2011 and still continuing now. Haha!! Really enjoying all the time in these gatherings and outings organised by different friends working in universal studios.

Taking a step back, during the October to December 2010, it was a few of the saddest days of my life with the passing of grandmother from my father's side and during that time, my mother was already not feeling very well and she was admitted to the hospital soon after my grandma's funeral is done. She was diagnosed with quite a lot illnesses while in hospital and eventually recover well enough for her to go home after abt 1 month. But that dreadful day came when suddenly she passed away with no last words with only me at home when it happened. I don know why it happened so damn quickly and i was so in a shock. But i know i needed to stay strong for my family and i managed to deal with my mum's funeral with a peaceful heart although it still pains me at times till now. I know we all have to move forward and my mum will always be with me and my family giving us her blessings no matter what we are doing.

Back to the past few months in this new year of 2011, i begin the year, back to school for the remaining 2 months in the semester before the exams during last week of feb and first week of march and the outings with my universal studios friends continued till now. A lot of photos were taken during the different outings and gatherings, i guess i am happy that i have a tons of photos in facebook right now along with that tons of memories which i will remember for life. At this point for my universal studios friends, for my attraction which i been working for almost a year, some of my friends at ROM now maybe leaving for different places. We might not see one another soon. The photo on this post is just one of the gatherings photos i have and it is the lastest one, don really know how to post the others up. Haha!!!

Anyway, i am having internship for 6 weeks during this march holidays in a vegetable oil company in senoko in sembawang. 3 weeks remaining before i fly to dalian, china for 2 months from 17 april to 7 june 2011 to start my 3rd poly year. I hope when i come back to work during june in universal studios at ROM, i will still see familiar faces around and not much people left although it is quite difficult. 2 months is neither too long nor too short for changes to take place, i hope the changes will not be too big at universal studios at ROM.

Till my next blog post..........................................

It's been 2 months since i updated.............

Since my birthday, i started my 2nd year in SP, the very next day. Anyway, year 2 subjects are supposed to be harder than year 1 module. What i feel after term 1 of year 2, the modules which are harder appears to be biochemistry and Process instrumentation(PI). Luckily for me, biochemistry is a module without exam BUT there is a big 40% test coming up after these 2 weeks of holidays. I have to try my best to do well, then can slack for the rest of the semester i hope. Unfortunately for PI, it is the hardest module for the semester with the exam which is like maths which is 60% of the whole module. I wondering whether can i pass the particular module. Anyway, shall try my best to at least pass the module. As for the MST papers last week, i feel good for all the papers except for PI, i guess luckily it is only 10%. The main thing for PI, is to pass the exams so that you can naturally pass the module. I guess my main aim for year 2 and finally when i graduate is to have a GPA of at least 3. It is a goal i will try very best to attain throughout my education in SP. It might be very difficult at this stage though BUT it is worth a try for a pretty cert.

Talking abt a pretty cert, i join a CCA this year to get CCA points which will make my cert look better. I joined SP civil defence club with a few of my classmates. I guess it will be more fun with classmates you know inside the club too. Going to have a camp next week, it's been 5-6 years since i last had a CCA camp. Don't know the feeling to camp anymore i guess. Anyway, hope i will enjoy the funny things they had organised for us and also to have great fun.

So besides, the CCA camp i having in these 2 weeks of holidays will be a family chalet during father's day weekend which happens this weekday. This 2 activities will be fun i guess BUT besides that, i got tonnes of school work to complete also. This is some sch holidays for me huh?
Anyway, the list of school work includes: A powerpoint presentation, 2 individual formal reports, PI, food chemistry and food preservation datasheets, food chemistry group assignment report and biochemistry test to study for. These list of 8 things to complete in the holidays, it is a lot to complete in 14 days where i have to work on both saturdays with the camp and chalet thing. My time very limited and i have not even started on a single one of them. I need to start later, i guess i will spent the rest of today doing whatever i can i guess.

Work, Coming birthday. Then after is sch reopens......

It is coming to mid april already and it is last week that i started working officially in universal studios in Revenge of the Mummy which is a dark indoor roller coaster ride. Last week, my first week of working, the schedule was 5 days for me. Tiring though but i thought i earn and learn quite a lot. For the second week which is this week, i was planned to work on only 1 day which is yesterday where i got signed off by my team manager which means from yesterday afternoon, i will be allowed to work alone in the different stations. It may be a good thing or a bad thing. I sure hope it is a good thing though. Anyway, i guess i will be able to rest, wait for my birthday weekend and school reopens which is on this coming monday. Not earning much this week though, only 1 day. Anyway, yesterday also marks the last weekday i will be working for now as school is reopening and next week onwards i will be working only sat i guess. Together, 6 days of working in universal and i get abt $450 of pay liao. I guess the pay is not too bad ba. Haha!!

I guess it is enough about work though. Work had been stopped for this week as 1 more important event is coming this weekend which is my birthday, actual day on a sunday. Will be heading to universal studios with some ite friends to enjoy the day there. Hope it will be a great day. Saturday i will be leaving the day free for celebration from my other groups of friends, so far nothing, so i will be hoping to hear from my other groups of friends. Some say before, but nothing is confirm till now. Anyway, certainly hope it will be a weekend to be remember though. So looking forward to this weekend!! Hoo!!!!

As for things after the weekend which is from monday, i will be heading back to school to start my second year in singapore poly. It's been long holidays i guess. Anyway, my earnings in this holidays are not too bad and certainly it's been a great holiday. Therefore, it is time to get the engine running and it is for me to get back in studying mode after a long relax mode in the holidays. Haha!!!

Starting work soon..............

I guess after 1 month holiday from school, i finally got myself a job as a ride operator in universal studios singapore. Will be starting the job officially tomo, Revenge of the mummy which is a indoor roller coaster ride. Feeling a bit nervous though as it is been a long time since i work, almost like 3 years or so. I guess may not be facing the crowd as soon as i will need to complete so on the job training first. I will be working on tues, wed, thur, sat and sunday this week. It is 5 days lol! A bit sian though. Anyway, i hope i will be able to adapt back to working life as soon as possible ba.With the holidays ending in 2 weeks, work in universal studios will be confined to weekends and public holidays only. Anyway, i will need to submit my new availability form for work tomo when i start i guess.

Holidays ending also means 1 thing is coming which is my birthday, the last day of sch holidays for this year. I guess will be still going to universal studios on my birthday, it will be by far the most expensive birthday i will spend and should be the first time, my birthday will be so expensive. Anyway, hope it will be a well spent day at USS in sentosa ba!!! After all, it is my birthday. Any surprises this year? I don know i guess. Looking forward to it though!!!!!!

It's been quite a long school holiday i guess. Anyway, we are coming to an end of it as school is starting in 2 weeks. Just found out abt my timetable for the new semester, i guess it is something that i expected as an SP student. Since the timetable is out, i guess i will be choosing my GEMs module either on a tuesday morning or friday afternoon as i will be finishing at 6pm during both of the days so might as well put the timeslot to good use then.

Will update again!! Stayed tuned guys!!!!!!

Boring days beginning in this holidays for me......

Holidays had started and this is almost the end of the 2nd week of holidays for me. Holidays are getting bored as i don't have any activities for the next month of the holidays till it ends. Officially i will have the next 10 days free and after that i will start work 29 march 09 in resort world sentosa. Actually looking forward to work and earn some cash before the holidays end i guess.

But before work comes, it is the release of my semester 2 exam results next Wednesday on the 24th march. Not really looking forward though, but trying to spend my holidays happily before the results are released. I hope i would be as happy after the release of the results. Nevertheless, i thought i already tried my best and the rest will be up to fate and luck i guess

I will start work officially on 29 march and it is a 3-day training for me at the HQ of resort world sentosa which is near jurong east. I guess have to wake up really early as i will need to report by 8.30am during the 3 training days. It's been a long time since i last work, 3 years that is!! Haha, wonder what it would be like working!! Looks like i have lost the feeling!

Enough talk abt work i guess, the next big thing for this year is my 23rd birthday coming up before the end of my holidays which is also the last day of my poly holidays. Looking forward i guess cause it is a trip to universal studios theme park. It will be the first time i am going to spend a lot of money on my own birthday i guess. Another first i guess, didn't know i have so many things i have not done in my life yet huh!! Haha!!!!

2 months since i last blog.....................

Quite a lot of things had happen till the long break since i blogged last. Anyway, with the new year looming in, then CNY in feb before my semester exams after that!!! I been busy and a bit lazy to blog i guess. Now is already the second week of my holidays after my end of the exams of my first year in the SP, i will be going to the second year of my poly studies le. I hope i had done good enough for me to progress to the second year without any forward modules ba. I really am praying hard as i want to start working after 2 more years in poly as my father is getting old. It is almost time, i start supporting the family i guess. Anyway, i look forward in these last 2 years of me being a student and certainly going to enjoy life to the fullest.

Ya, i going to start working after a long break from my working life before my enlistment which dates back from may 2007. It's been 3 years plus since i last work. Hope that i can adapt back to that kind of life i guess.

So far, it's been a great holidays with class chalet which just passed from last tuesday till last thursday. It is a rather unique experience for 10+ of us squeezing in a small chalet room meant for actually just 4 persons. It rather a hotel room compared to a chalet where amenities were limited. Anyway, a lot of bonding were done for half the class that turned up for this chalet. That is one of the advantages in the small, squeezy chalet room i guess. I hope all of us who turned up had a great time during the short stay there in coasta sands downtown east.

Nothing much for now, i certain to work soon i guess. Holidays should pass in a breeze once i start working at universal studios ba. Good luck for myself!!! Hoo!!!!

Exams coming in a month....................

Exams dates and times are out as i found out yesterday nite. Anyway, this past week in school was normal with me except having a formal presentation on Thursday morning with formal attire and wearing it for the whole day in school including during afternoon's last microbiology practical and also the last practical for this entire semester which my classmates thought i looked like a doctor throughout the practical session. It was my first time wearing a whole set of formal wear which included leather shoes, long sleeve shirt, pants and belt. I bought it all from G2000 except the leather shoes which was from BATA. Actually i thought it was quite nice wearing the set of formal wear, just a bit uncomfortable in it only.

Abt the formal presentation that we had done that thursday, i thought i was the lousiest presenter among my groupmates. Anyway, i have a bad feeling that i would get a 'D' grade for the report writing module this semester. 1 presentation down and 3 more coming up! It seems like we have more presentations for this semester as compared to the first sem. This reminds me of how i hate presentations as i know, most of the time i wouldn't do well for presentations. Next presentation is on next tuesday, hope i can do my best for this last presentation for this IDEA module.

The recent events happening around me are all but school, i guess i had been busy with school work since the start of the year and not really having any fun. But i should look forward to CNY first for the small break and a bit of fun before the exams i guess!! Hope i can enjoy chinese new year then!!!

2010's first blog post

Just realized i did not write any blog post since last year. Anyway, this is a new year 2010 and it's been 2 weeks since the school started. School started off with stress gaining at a fast pace. From next week, i am left with 4 more presentations/projects for the different modules and a formal report to do. The hardest being the report as it is going to be done by myself. Anyway, the term is a very short one with tonnes of work to be done before the exams which takes place after CNY. It is going to be a sad CNY this year as the thought of exams after that is a 'bored' kind of feeling. Anyway, it is not easy being an SP student.

Let's talk abt the passing week where i spent everyday with my group of poly friends doing project after school. Although today is a saturday, i also went back school to finish up the maths project. I guess the upcoming week will also be staying back after sch to continue finishing up the rest of the different assignments/projects/presentations. Life as a SP student huh!!!!

New year resolutions for the year 2010, till now i never really seriously thought of any yet. I will come up with it now i guess. For the first one, to keep myself as healthy and fit for my NS reservist at the end of the year. Second one, this resolution had been in my mind for a few years now, finding love, will I finally fulfill this wish this year? I certainly hope so. Third, hope i can pass my exams with better results in feb to end my first year of poly on a high note and start my 2nd year of poly brightly. I guess that's the most important three for the whole year i am going to try to achieve. As time goes by, i guess i will continue to add to what i am going to achieve for the year.

End of 2009 is coming...................

Another year is coming to an end. It's been a long year of 2009, isn't it? 2009 is coming to an end in less than 48 hours. It is the time of the year where we can reflect upon the whole year's events and happenings as we conclude what had we done. As 2009 ends, we start to think of what we should do for the brand new year. Anyway, before doing so, i should so how summarise and conclude my 2009.
For 2009, first half of the year, i was still serving the remainder of my NSF life. It was almost the end of my army life and for the first few months of the year, i was busy preparing for the evaulation of what aims to conclude what have i learn in army for the past 2 years. First few months was busy with outfields, breaks in between, victory challenges in preparation for the final evaluation of the unit i been in the past 2 years. By the end of march, when the evaluation ended, it marks the end of my army life. Though not really the end cause i ORD in june but it is significant as we showed the evaluators what we had learned as a unit, company, platoon and section with our buddies in the past 2 years and things were concluded. From april, i was clearing offs and leaves as i was going to ORD. In april, i was also granted admission in poly for the diploma of food science and technology and started studying in Singapore polytechnic. While managing the remainder of my army life with school, before i eventually ORD in mid june and got back my pink ic. The feeling is great as i converted back to being a full time civillian and student.

After june, i started a new lease of my life after NS. Took my first major exam after two and a half years since i graduated from ITE in 2007 and it was in singapore polytechnic in mid august and i pass the 4 modules exams i taken from april this year. Not too bad a start for me in poly, though i was a bit shell-shocked in the start of my first semester but after a while, i thought i had the momentum and after the exams in august, i decided to enjoy the 2 months plus of holidays as i had not trully enjoyed the holidays during my 2 years in NS. Enjoy the life of being a student to the fullest during the period of time.That holidays also signalled the end of my first semester in singapore poly.

So from mid oct, i started my 2nd semester in singapore poly, and still in the 2nd semester till now. I thought most of the second semester lecturers suck, so i thought i was struggling quite a bit in this semester i guess. Anyway, i ended term 1 of this semester feeling pretty scared as i took the mid semester test before the holidays started and felt that i failed 2 papers out of the 4 papers. Anyway, now it is up to the second term of this semester which starts next year, I guess i have to work harder till the exams for this semester in end of feb next year.

Overall i thought i will end 2009, feeling happy as i would pass my first semester with accepting results as a student again after my NS life and the hard work i still put in this semester and still have a chance to produce results for next feb's semesteral exams.

One mad starting week to the holidays..............

It's been a mad, crazy and wild week for the start of the holidays for me. I been out almost everyday from monday last week. Only last tuesday i did not go out. Anyway, last week, i got to go sentosa with my poly friends, do projects, meet cousin, meet sec friends and ite friends. The breakout from the rest of the normal events was a trip to the club for one of my sec friend's birthday celebration. It was the first time for me. Anyway, nothing much that i would like in the club though but with friends, it is still great time spent together.
Been coughing and having sore throat these few days though, the conditions seem to go off and on. I guess i am lucky enough to survive the week with only cough and sore throat and nothing more serious. Hope that i will recover as soon as possible.
Today i finally had the time to rest at home as i do not have anything for the day. Guess i will be starting out the formal report later after lunch and hope i will have it done before the holidays end. This week should not be as taxing as last week though. But my group hope to complete another project by this week.
Anyway, let's hope that most of my school work can be completed before the holidays end next year. Will try to update more, getting lazy already!! Haha!!

Holidays with a lot of sch work in it...........

Finally, the holidays are here and i am back to being relaxed and free. Anyway, we should enjoy the holidays as it is the time for students like us to enjoy. SP holidays are almost the same except after the sem exam i guess. A lot of things for me to do during this holidays i guess. Hope can finish the sch things asap. It's December already, and the main events passed so far for me, is the ite reunion which was last friday where i went. Photos taken, but nothing much as we got the time to catch up and see each other after a long time. I would say a great time spent altogether. Nothing much as that as it was my MST week. After the test, 2 days ago, some of my classmates and i went to the kbox in jurong safra to enjoy, relax and celebrate the start of the holidays. It is good that my poly friends and i are spending more time with each other as after we graduate, most of us i would say, will be heading off in different directions lol. Anyway, it is good time spent as i always say when i get to hang out with all my different groups of friends. Next week, we will be having another gathering at sentosa with my poly friends. So looking forward to it! As for today, i will be going out dinner with my army friends later in the evening.Tomo i also having another gathering with another group of army friends before the night where i will be heading back school for the bursary presentation. Holidays started with a blast for me i guess, think i will be able to enjoy this holidays by balancing school work and playing. Really loving it!!!Hoooooo!!!!!

Coming to end of the sch term, tests coming up.............

Few weeks since i last updated my blog! Anyway, sch is shifting to the next gear as we prepare for all the upcoming tests before the 3-week holidays. And the upcoming series of test is in abt 2-3 weeks. The sad thing is i have not even started studying lol, been more lazy than last sem i guess. Anyway, this sem, the tests come first before the holidays so i have lesser time to be prepare and study i guess. In this sem, most of the subjects is abt memory lol. Poly life is like that i guess, not much difference from the first sem where i got a bit shell-shock from the workload. I guess it makes no differences to me now as i have adapted to it.
This few weeks of highlights in my life were, last week i ran for abt 4km at bishan stadium with my secondary friends last, last wednesday for the first time since i got out from full time national service in june. The run was tiring for me but good for training as i prepare for the annual IPPT which i need to take.
Another highlight would be the last tuesday where i went out with some of my poly classmates and friends for the first time to buy birthday presents for jia lin and wei guang who shared the same birthday on last wednesday. We travelled from sch to bugis in search of the presents. Bought a converse shoe for wei guang and a jacket for jia lin. Finally went to the basement and bought the birthday cake before the whole day was concluded. Good time spent with them for the first time.
The next highlight was on wednesday where i met up with lijin and ah kiong, was a highlight as we spent money on the candy pushing machine where in total abt $40 to get a jackpot which the prize was a medium elmo soft toy which lijin wanted, in the process of that, she also got a small dog soft toy and a lot of sweets. It is one of the rare occasions where lijin ask us out so i did not reject. Actually wanted to do my chemistry report that day. Anyway, it was a great day spent and friends that know me, should know i love going out and spending the time with them. And the fact is i don't like to be alone.
The last highlight i would like to talk about will be the Marche Visit yesterday at vivocity with some of my poly friends, planned and organised by the class rep, although not a lot of ppl went but at least 1/3 of the class there. Anyway, i also love all these outings, hard for me to reject anyone i guess. And to my poly friends which don't know me, i am a type of guy where ppl will need to ask me take photos cause i am a shy person which make my photos limited and actually i don't mind taking photos lol!!! Haha!! Hope more of this trips come from my poly friends, cause we really seldom spent time together!
That's all for now!!!! Will try to update as often!!!!!!

Another post in a long while.................

So sch reopens and now i got all the new modules which i have to cope with. The weird thing is all teachers teaching this sem is like a bit funny, got the lame one, slow one, blur one, strict one, slack one, deep voice one and etc. Anyway, this sem with all these types of lecturers seem to be an interesting one i guess. 2 weeks since sch reopens, this is the 3rd week liao, the pace is really starting to pick up liao. The work load is starting to stack up all over again. This week only today got practical as it is a odd week. Anyway, on even weeks, i also only have 2 practicals in a week. Practicals for this sem even lesser than last sem, practicals like really nothing in poly lol, theory like more important lol.
Guess activities are back to weekends again.During last weekend, went to lyon's birthday chalet with seb, ah kiong but before that spent the afternoon still deciding and waiting for serene to meet us. While waiting, we actually played over 1 hour of arcade at marina square and also walk all over suntec and marina as well. Serene came over at abt 8pm and met us before we went shopping for lyon's birthday present. Finally, bought a drinking game of snakes and ladders which is made of glass and serene drove us there in her mother's car. First time, sitting in serene's car, she's not a bad driver i guess. Anyway, ended the day with supper in a hk cafe in east coast park with lyon and jane after the birthday party ended. Serene send us home in her car as i reach home the earliest abt 2am. I wonder what about seb and ah kiong. Anyway, a girl sending 3 guys home. It is a whole new concept!! Haha!! The world is changing huh!!!!

Almost nearing end of my holidays......................

This week is the last week of my long school holidays. It had been a long holiday i guess. I guess most of my holidays i really enjoyed myself. I used this holidays to make up for the holidays i didn't have while serving my national service as a armour trooper. Anyway, sep holidays for me was a bit boring for me ba but close to the end of sep. The activities for me seems endless as i went out almost everyday. Haha, since oct started i been really enjoying the holidays. As you can see from the previous 2 posts, a lot of activities i was doing and really a lot of wonderful memories for this holidays. I guess i had a great holidays after all.
To the activities after the jb trip on last monday, i got all the dvds i bought on wednesday.For yesterday, went out with ah kiong and watch the movie 'the message' after that went to suntec and guess what we saw while we were leaving the place. We saw Dr derek yeo, our course manager in my ite days. He was with his family. Chatted for a while and found out that the gathering in dec is going to be organise by the student services in ITE. I guess I should be going as after i am a ITE graduate and i am doing great also in my path of the science sector. I am sure that i can carry the ITE brand proud in singapore poly which i am currently studying or at least i hope.Haha, a great statement from me!! Really hope i do well to carry the good name for the science in ITE.
I finally finished watching a hk drama today, which i been chasing during the week i guess. The drama is something like the chinese version of CSI. The drama is a good drama i thought with the different highs and lows in it.
Today is the day where my brother came back from his confinement after his first 2 weeks in the police national service. Nothing much had change for him except for his hair. Expected as this is what all the singaporean male have to go through as a citizen. He came back complaining about the physical training. I guess he just started out, i think everyone started out the same too. Anyway, i still think army is worse than police training. It is because police don't go outfield and besides i think to them, the most difficult part is physical training only. From my experience in army, army is tougher as we had stress during outfield exercises and we also have physical training. Therefore, army is toughest among the 3 national service for males. Although i went through army as a armour trooper, it was difficult at the start but i still persevere through the 2 years and made quite a new of good friends or better known as brothers. I guess everything have their good and bad sides. Anyway, happy that my brother came back home after a long time.Anyway, as a police NSF, he will have more time at home after this 3 months after he pass out successfully. Because being a police is actually a stay out type of national service job, not like in the army where you are confined to a camp permanently and the worse thing is you need to stay in camp during weekdays. That's why being a police serving national service, the toughest is only the first 3 months in home team academy. Looking to my brother passing out in january next year as a police officer and he will have more time with his family and friends after that. That's great!! So looking forward to that day!
Anyway, before that day actually comes, it is time for me to continue in my quest for a diploma when school reopens next monday! Will update soon!!!

Continuing.................

From the last blog i mention abt the cycling trip, besides that i also went LAN gaming with my secondary school friends, a ITE gathering involving the chinese and the JB trip. LAN gaming was a new found hobby with my secondary school friends so we also had a new hangout place which is AMK. We normally played LAN games at a shop in K box plaza near AMK central.
For the ite gathering was planned by me with the help of ah kiong, i guess i asked jane before i actually only decide to gather the chinese in ITE, she say since the malays already had their outing quite some time ago, we should have our own. I actually also thought something similar and organising a chinese gathering is easier as most of us were still in contact over MSN or phone. I am also not that close to the malays in ITE. Anyway, for the gathering, i decided it would be a steamboat buffet in the night. Seldom go to steamboat buffet restaurants so ah kiong and i went for marketing which restaurant should go in bugis 2 days before the actual day. Anyway, on the actual day, we went into this steamboat restaurant where the service was slow and awful lousy. Not a good restaurant and i guess the next time, i will not eat there again ba.
Good time spent there though as everyone of the 12 there got to catch up with one another after 2 long years since graduation in ite. Most of the guys there finished our national service except alvin which is still serving his. I guess this time can see a lot of people came out as we didn't had a outing for a long time. For the ones that miss it, i can only say it is theirs to regret. I shall try to organise another in the future i guess. This kind of gathering always brings great memories and happiness.
For the JB trip, it's been a long while since i went there. This is the first time, Lijin joined me and ah kiong for this jb trip. It's been a long while we went jb because of swine flu, studies and etc. Anyway, had a great time over lijin there. We also broke our record for buying dvds as both of us bought a total of 59 including 18 dvds of heros for lyon which i bought for him. Anyway, bought dvds until there was not enough for dinner and lijin is the only one that had money left. So she treated us for dinner at pizza hut over at jb holiday plaza after we finished buying our dvds. Anyway, i treated her for lunch as it is the first time she joins us for the jb trip. At dinner, she treated me back, so we are sort of even. Haha! Anyway, i always enjoyed the way we teased and talked about things. I guess not only me, the 3 of us should have enjoyed it on that day. We are so good friends i guess and enjoyed each others' company. I guess we will enjoy more of these jb trips in the future. The jb trip also marks the last week of my sch holidays lol. Will update more on the next blog post of this week!!!

Another long list of events that passed.................

Don know when did my blog because full of my events i gone through in great details. Anyway, i know a lot of ppl is suggesting that i cut down on the details and summarise! Actually used to summarise and list only important events that passed, but maybe because while serving NS over the 2 years, i forgotten how to blog and started writing every single detail that had been happening around me. Anyway, i shall try to cut down on every detail and summarise by only writing what is more important. Haha!! Continuing from the last blog post, i had cycling, played LAN games, went out with friends and a jb trip for the long week that passed till now. Cycling was among the activity i most look forward to as it has always been a passion for me. And ever since buying my new bicycle i never ride on it. This is the first time after so long i cycling as finally i found a cycling partner which is azli to accompany me for the cycling trip we sort of planned. To start the cycling trip off, we decided to meet at potong pasir at 1pm. While i was cycling there, my tyre busted when i was at serangoon. At that point of time, azli was already at potong pasir, i called him and ask him to come serangoon as i could not continue the cycling trip with a busted tyre. Then i met him and call a friend(saleh) living in serangoon to ask if there is a bicycle shop nearby so that i could change my tyre. He told me, the nearest bicycle shop is in serangoon north where he live. Anyway, we could not continue until my tyre was changed. So azli and i walk from serangoon to serangoon north. Finally, we reach the bicycle shop and met saleh where we had lunch together and say goodbye to saleh before resuming our bicycle trip to east coast park. It was a long but straight road to east coast park through hougang, ubi, eunos, parkway. We were but surprised as the ride was merely over 1 hour as we reach east coast park. Anyway, ride in east coast park while waiting for saleh and jeremy for dinner. So met them for dinner at east coast mcdonalds, actually that of going home after that but azli didn't want so we chatted till abt 2.30am before jeremy wanted to make a move to prepare for his mobilisation stuffs, so saleh send him home on the motorbike while azli and i continue talking while resting in east coast park. We then decided to leave at 4am. So i reach home at 5.15am, was so shagged lol! Talk with azli about it at east coast park lol, thought the whole experience was damn shagged lol cause we also quite a long time never exercise liao!! Haha!! I thought my bicycle a bit sucky too cause all the bicycle trips i had in the past, my bicycle also had no problems lol!!! Will continue on, going to sleep soon................
