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!!!!!!

Last day of 2012

Finally, time flies again!! We are already on our last day of year 2012. While this year ends, we are supposed to reach end of the world which is predicted. However, all these predictions are uttered rubbish to me, nothing actually happened and we are still living happily on earth on a small dot known as Singapore which is where i am born, raised and live my life until now.

As i look back to all the things i done in 2012 during this last day of the year, i realise i am really getting more and more lazy to blog as my blog posts reduces every year. Haha!!! Anyway, things had been quite simple for me in this long passing year i guess. Let's summarize since a lot of people like to comment that my blog post always very long. Haha!!! I trying my best liao hor!!! 

In the first 2 months of the year 2012, I started the year, with finishing and doing up my final year project where i was still a singapore polytechnic student. After that, was doing my last few exam papers in Singapore polytechnic. After that, i unofficially graduated from singapore poly liao. Immediately after that in march, i dedicated most of my time working at Universal studios singapore(USS) for a gd 6-7 months where i totally enjoyed all the times working. Therefore, to conclude half of the time in 2012, i was actually working at USS. I had lots of fun working there throughout the many months. Haha!! Anyway, I officially graduated with my diploma in food science and technology in may 2012. In the long months of working in USS, i also have graduation trip with my poly friends to taiwan, japan trip, batam trip, genting trips where i truely enjoyed all of the above overseas holidays with different groups of friends and relatives. During the course of all these things which i enjoyed, i also attended my interview for my uni studying programme which i had enrol for and successfully got accepted and i started sch in oct studying newcastle university food and human nutrition course under Singapore institute of Technology.  Tough course i thought after studying for the past 2 months and now on course to my exams in less than 3weeks. Sian thing is because, during this festive period, i still need to force myself to study lol. Haiz. However, though all the tough assignments given, i met my group of friends in university where i think i gained the most in this course of studying until now, we are the most happening group in the class and really proud of everything we had gone through together with tons and lots of fun together. Hoooo, cheers to our new found friendship!!! This sorts of sums up my long year of 2012 i guess. Haha!!!

Ok, need to prepare to go out liao. Haha. Will continue tonite or tomo nite i guess.

Merry Christmas people, finally i decided to blog

Been a long 8 months since i last blog. I guess i had been super lazy to update my blog. All these 8 long months especially after poly graduation in may, i been busy working at Universal Studios Singapore(USS) until i got accepted into a Food and human nutrition course under Singapore Institute of Technology which is conducted by Newcastle University. The abt 2years course started for me in Oct which is abt 2months ago and surprisingly i had almost finished my semester 1 of the course liao.

This is the first time in my life i will need to study for my exams which is mid january 2013 that is less than 1 month away. Very sian!!! Where gt mood to study during this festive season????? Sian to the max!!!! Although i purposely plan to study on christmas eve yesterday, i guess i managed to flip finish human nutrition notes ba although a bit half-hearted. Haha, at least i did something like studying!!!!

Christmas 2012 is just about over in less than 15mins now, this year's christmas is so different for me as i gt to know my university friends. We got together and had great fun all the time through all the lectures and tutorial while the rest of the class is seriously studying and concentrating on assignments and tests. However, the 9 of us with me formed the biggest clique in class and i am really happy to have known them and surviving through all the sch work together. They make me my studying life happening, the last time i was so happening and fun was during my ITE days. Poly days are less happening and boring to me. Anyway, i really am very happy whenever i doing sch work or out having fun together with my Uni friends!! Cheers to our friendship although still a short time we have known each other only. We will survive thru uni life together and  have all the fun in the world!!!! Hoooooo!!! Cheers!!!! Therefore, this christmas for me is the most happening, like playing hide-n-seek while celebrating one of my uni's friends birthday and also the christmas gift exchange where we decided what we cannot buy as presents, racking brains for the christmas present to be bought on the spot within hours. But this is the most awesome christmas celebration which is most memorable to me until now in my life. Thank u guys. Should put the names!!!! Haha!!! Thank u to guo wei, lester, pei yun, hui ru, ying xian, rachel, jennifer, kayam, chong yi. Really glad to have all yr companies in all the times we been together since day 1 in newcastle university!!! Hoooo, cheers to more celebrations and our everlasting friendship!!!!!

Christmas is also celebrated with some of my work friends. Although it is a simple dinner and gift exchange. It was also a good time and a good gathering for all of us to catch up!!! Haha!!!!

Now that christmas is over when i typing this last paragraph i hope, tomo is the time to resume and force myself to go back school to study for my upcoming exams. Haiz, feeling sian to the max lol. But i do not have a choice, do I!!!!!! :(

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!!!! 

Time to start my official first blog post in 2012......

Time flies, we are already in the second month of 2012. The year started out being a busy one for me i guess. Anyway, what else could it be? It is obviously about my final year project(FYP). My group and i started the year finishing up with our FYP report which was due on 18 january. It was a rush as we managed to finish up with our report during that 2 weeks when the year started off. One of my group members like to do last minute work and on the day of submission, we really finished our report and printed them out plus binding and burning of the cds at about close to 12noon which is the deadline cut off timing. A sign of relief for all of us after handing up our FYP report. Anyway, after handing up the FYP report, it is back to doing assignment report and presentatation. After the busy week, it is Chinese New Year again with what is a long weekend, what a start to the new year of 2012 for me i guess.

Chinese New Year(CNY) was not celebrated by me again for the second year as i opted to follow the traditions of the old and not celebrate CNY for 3 years since the passing of my mum. Although according to the modern days, people don't really follow the traditions and the tradition changed from3 years to only 1 year. Anyway, for me, this CNY i spent the public holidays working at universal studios for the second time again which is the same as last year. Besides the eve of CNY where i spent having dinner with the rest of my family members, i went to visit my grandma after work during the first day of CNY and as for the second day of CNY, went to have dinner with my brother and father as they came to look for me after my work in sentosa. On the third day of CNY, it was declared a holiday in my school and i spent the day resting and relaxing after working for 2 days. I also visited my mum at kong meng temple before heading for my grandma's place as i chatted with her for quite a few hours and having dinner there before going home.

Finally on the fourth day of CNY which i did not have any classes but needed to go back school to finish our FYP presentation slides as we needed to present it the very next week. Time to chiong again for our FYP as our group worked hard doing up the FYP slides and the making of the prototype that needs to be shown during the FYP presentation. Our FYP group really worked hard all the way till the end of our FYP presentation and with some luck and help from one of the lecturers in school of design, we managed to come out with the prototype to be presented.

After the whole FYP presentation, the comments given by the lecturers really warmed our hearts and let us feel that all the sacrifices made were worthwhile and a huge burden was dropped after nearly 1 year since we embarked on this FYP journey. We were overjoyed and relieved as our efforts were recognised by the panel of lecturers.

Anyway, we celebrated with some of our classmates which is yesterday where we had a delicious dinner at bugis area. It is great time spent together, one of the few times where me and my poly friends actually hang out together.

Ya, beside school, i had a major gathering with my 18 of Universal studios(USS) work friends as well just this past sunday. We had this major gathering where we celebrated 3 of my friends' birthdays(calista, ying fang and wee kiong) with a farewell as well as one of my friends, calista who is furthering her studies in australia and will be leaving soon in a few weeks time. These kind of major gathering with so many people seems rare as it comes only a few times in a year. Anyway, in this kind of major gathering, i guess i had always enjoyed the time that is being spent. I guess i always feel closer to my USS friends more than my poly friends and 1 of the reasons is because we had more gatherings where we would have fun together always. Haha!!!

Going on, my resolutions for the year 2012, after being SINGLE for so long, i longed for a breakthrough, will i get that breakthrough this year? Chances are never high i guess as i failed for so many years in my entire life up to now. One word decribes this feeling and status for being SINGLE for so long and for me, this word is SIAN!!!!!!!

Second resolution is about my studies, after so long, i finally decided on whether to continue my studies and a choice was made by me recently where i choose to study in a 2-year course for an honours degree in food and human nutrition at Singapore instutite of technology. For this, i hope to be lucky enough to get a place to study in this course in this year of 2012.

Not anymore resolutions which i can think of now. Just hope these 2 resolutions can be fulfilled in this wonderful year of the dragon!!! Hooo!!!! Cheers!!! Till my next blog post............................

My reflections for 2011

2011 ended yesterday and today is the first day of a brand new year 2012. Time to do some reflections as to what i had achieved or done for past year i guess. Haha!!!

Feels like 2011 is another year of studying for me. Anyway, the highlights of it is quite the main bulk n most happening year of my poly education i guess. I started the 6-week industrial attachment in a vegetable oil company after ending my exams n poly year 2 in mid march. Meanwhile i was also in line to go to Dalian, China to start my poly year 3 which i applied for. During the short industrial attachment, i was almost going back to sch once every week to settle admin stuffs for the trip ahead which is in mid april immediately after my industrial attachment.

Anyway, got to learn lots of things in the vegetable oil company and valuable experience gained for me even though that's bad along with the good. Haha! Anyway, during that period of time, was working part time at universal studios as well. So together with my attachment, sometimes, i work for consecutive 12 to 13 days before i actually got an off day. I guess it was very tiring during that period of time but i enjoyed the part working in universal studios once every week. Working there was more of enjoyment to me than actually working. Finally, at that period of time i know what is like holding 2 jobs and how tired it can get at times. That period of time really like no life sia!! But anyway the upcoming trip in april to Dalian, China for about 2 months push me through that tough period i guess. Haha!! I still remembered counting down the days before the trip and ending my attachments during the tough period of time.

Next up is the Dalian trip from mid april to mid june. The abt 2 months of studying experience was just too valuable and no words are enough to describe the whole experience although tons of words can be used. Anyway, despite of the different things that happened in the trip, i still think it is a great trip as i got to know more of the character of some of my poly friends. As like other trips, once you are away from home for long, you tend to miss home and that felt by most of us. But in spite of that, with the friends there with u, u also feel like a big family during the 2 months there. To sum it up, it is simply a great trip without no regrets from me although i was feeling the stress from all the assignments, presentations,tests. Hooo!!!!

Anyway for the second part of 2011, from june when we came back to singapore. It was crush course for the remaining modules that we had to take along with the 3 exams. But time really flies with me finishing my year 3, sem 1 on a high in the exams from end august to 1st week of sep when the exams results came out. It was the best results i gotten in my entire poly life. I was super elated although i thought i could had done better. Haha!! After the exams, it is all about the final year project which i will not try to talk about. It is all but one word: SIAN!!! Anyway, poly education is about done for me where the year had ended with the last round of mid sem tests, now embarking on the final few months of my whole poly life something i am really looking forward in this new year.

For 2011, it's not all about school i guess. Anyway, most of the gatherings for year to conclude came from my work friends i guess. Anyway, tons of photos were taken for the entire year of gatherings i guess. 2011 marks the year where the most photos i had taken up to date for me i guess. Besides that, gatherings with my sec friends, army friends were also seen in different parts of the 2011 i guess. Friends are something i can never leave without. Haha!!! Love all my friends out there!! Hoooooo!!!!!!!!! From my birthday celebrations to each of theirs, and to all the different gatherings we had in singapore, malaysia and china. I guess it had been quite a great 2011 spent with each and everyone my friends.

Lastly and most importantly, not forgetting all my family members, it is been great year for us all as we had been meeting most of the sundays at grandma's place in 2011. The bonding that we had been great throughout the whole year. The highlight of the 2011 was the bangkok trip that we had recently. It was a first overseas trip with family members for me. It was always be as memorable in my mind. It was a great first trip with you guys. Hope for more in the upcoming year i guess. Also not forgetting my mother, end of the year, it also marks her first death anniversary since she passed on. Although so, we celebrated by praying for her and she will forever be in my heart for everything she had done for me. Love u mum!!!!!

Long time since my last post...........

Hey guys, i think it's been a long time since i last blog. Anyway, i will start this blog post.

It's been quite some time as my last sem in singapore polytechnic had started, now i am left with the last term which is about 3 more months left before i graduate and earn myself a diploma in food science and technology. It still remains unsure whether i will be studying after that, as i had yet to decide. Anyway, will be making my decision soon enough i hope.

Poly life was quite a normal life for me i guess except when i was struggling a bit when i was in my first year in poly. Nevertheless, time flies and i will be graduating soon. Poly life was the same and my status throughout my whole life is still the same: 'SINGLE'. I guess i am still waiting for that miracle to come along some way or another. I had hope from year 1 in poly life, i would abandoned the current status that i had which is being single. Anyway, disappointments again! Never mind i guess, i am quite used to it. At some point, hopes sort of began hopeless after time.

Now in year 3 of my poly life, my poly group of friends are either in a relationship or going into one, unlike me who is always alone. Now in the discussion, it seems like i am always out of the topic and hearing more of things about love which i don really like to hear about at some point. Maybe i am jealous of them or more of envy, i guess i really don know. Anyway, i hope to graduate really soon as sometimes seeing and hearing about their love stories are really saddening for me.

Enough of the sad stuffs i had i guess. Lucky for me, i am never alone, i have groups of friends which most are still single and being together with them just really let me feel great and happy. Therefore, it somehow let me think of the good things of being SINGLE. Haha! I guess i am who i am and it is hard to change my character as those that are close to me will know that when i like a girl and i don really know how to express it openly to the person. So this is one big flaw which i have and which makes me SINGLE all the way till now. Eager to start a relationship but............

Anyway, last thing i need to mention and the most important will be the passing of my mum, it been a year since my mother left our family peacefully into another world to be free of any troubles, stress and health issues. Recently i just prayed my mum along with my brother and father. Although she had left us, i know she will forever live in our hearts and minds. She will be watching over us and blessing us in whatever we do. In my memory, she always love me the most and adore me the most all the way until she pass on. She's the world's greatest mother to me and all the things she done for will always be remembered deep in my heart. Hope she doing well and good wherever she may be and I just want to say and shout it out I MISS U and LOVE U MUM!!!!!

The last holidays b4 i graduate from poly.........

These holidays were not really holidays, although it is the last holidays b4 i graduate, i still have to go sch doing FYP during the weekdays. This is week 5 and next week is the last week of holidays b4 i start my last sem in singapore poly.

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. It is in 2 months from 21st dec - 25th dec, a 5 days, 4 nite trip. Hoooo!!! This year of 2011, is going to end for me with a blast. So going to love it!! Haha!!

Holidays are ending as i mentioned before, holidays are never enough i guess, sch's reopening soon, this time for me i hope holidays don end so soon because it is short and secondly i hope to have more time for my FYP to be done. Anyway, we should always look forward i guess, hopes that dec come early so i can go overseas to enjoy again!!! Haha!!!

Till the next post!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
