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................

Long week that i spent since the last blog post.........

A lot had happened in this long week, i had a gathering on the first day of F1 which is a saturday at vivocity where i caught up with some of my army friends and had dinner. For sunday the race day of F1 was asked by my group of secondary friends to AMK to play LAN game for a good 3 hours before i headed home to watch F1 race live on TV.
For this long week following the F1 weekend, it started with me attending my poly chalet from monday to wednesday. This is the second poly chalet for our class, this time round came lesser people as most of my poly classmates are busy working or have something on. Total persons that came for the chalet i think about 9-10 only. Anyway, i still had fun although lesser people this time. On the second night, we had our bbq where i set up the fire since nobody really know how to. I thought also this is the first time i set up the bbq fire alone. I felt good also. I never knew i could do it lol. Really proud of my work. Haha!!! Anyway, i miss half of chris and fann wong wedding on tv as i had to help my classmates maintain the bbq pit fire. That night, fanned the charcoal to maintain the fire until, my arms also ached lol. In the end, we managed to cook finish 90% of the bbq food with the fire. Lucky, our class tutor did not come for the bbq because i took quite a long time to start the fire. From the chalet this time, i learn more about playing majong. I can say i learn a lot from chalets ba. Haha!! From the chalet, also found out my grades are average comparing it to my classmates. Guess that i would have to work hard for next semester to get better grades. I don think i too happy with my results ba!! Anyway, spent quite a lot of time playing wiii. Besides that, watched a movie that i bought along which is 'hell boy 2' and watch live soccer. That's for the chalet part i guess.
After the chalet, i went home in a cab with my poly friend, ben. I reach home on wednesday abt 1.30pm. After that, slept off as i was feeling very tired from the chalet. That time, woke up abt 3pm for lunch as i was feeling hungry. After that ah kiong asked me out and i went out after lunch to meet him and kenny at HMV in orchard. After that, made our way to marina square where kenny spent a lot of money on toys catching for the rest of the day there. In the end, kenny borrowed money from the 2 of us before he finally finished catching his last toy. I think he spent abt $200 that day. Also we had to help him carry to woodlands as he did not have enough hands. After reaching woodlands, we sent him to the bus where he headed home first before we head for mos burger to have our dinner abt 9.30pm. After dinner, met kenny again at the bus interchange at abt 10.30pm as he went home to take money to return us. After that, it was home for all of us.
For thursday, my father had a dental appointment at SGH where he wanted to make his fake teeth. He took half day leave as his appointment was at 4.30pm and came back home abt 2pm. After that, the whole family accompanied him there and he was told he needed to wait a year for his fake teeth. Anyway, after that, my whole family went for a late lunch followed by shopping around Chinatown. We reach home at abt 8.30pm that day.
For friday, i went out after our new sofa set and coffee table came at abt 3pm. This time, went out with my secondary friends. First, met up with azli and yaqin at bishan at abt 6pm. Azli wanted to eat first so went to mcdonald's. After that, we took MRT to AMK and walk around amk hub before jeremy and saleh reach. After we met up with them, we headed for dinner at a nearby food court. Then waited for the last person which is azri as he book out of police camp only abt 7pm. After everyone reach, we started playing LFD(LAN game) at abt 8.30pm. We played until most of us actually forgot the time lol. Anyway, we finish playing only abt 11.30pm. After that, the rest went to supper at mcdonald's. I went home early as i know i need to rest early for my cousin's wedding the next day. So i took the bus home from amk abt 12 midnight and reach home abt 12.30am. I did not sleep early as i was hungry and had cup noodles before i actually slept at 2.15am.
For saturday, it is my cousin's wedding day so i set my hp alarm for me to wake up at abt 6.30am that morning. So i woke up at that time, after that my whole family were preparing as we needed to be at my cousin's place at abt 7am. Anyway, we reach abt 7.30am that morning and surprised to find out we were still early. Ya, forgot to mention my cousin is a female. So we reach early and that morning we actually got to see how the groom and brothers got tortured by the sisters before going to pick up the bride which is my cousin in her room. After that, the bride and groom went to the groom's house while the rest of us remained and waited for her to return.
After the tea serving cermony, we went home to rest and relax for the wedding dinner at night.
The wedding dinner was held at holiday Inn parkview at orchard road. My family reach there abt 7pm and the dinner room was not open so we were outside waiting as more and more people arrive, we were serve drinks outside. First time for me, need to wait outside for a wedding dinner to begin. Anyway, i think this sucks already. There's more later on lol. We waited until abt 7.30pm before we got to go in and waited for the dinner to start. Were told that the dinner will start in 30 mins so everyone was chatting and catching up. After that, the most sickening thing is the service there really sucks as the service was so slow that some guests left before the last dish was served. Anyway, we finish the dinner and left with my uncle's family and my grandma as my uncle offered to send my family home. Before that, my uncle sent my grandma home before sending my family home. We reach home abt 12 midnight yesterday. After that, went for supper with my mother and brother as we were still hungry. We had mcdonald's and watched the first half of the man united vs sunderland match there before buying food for my father and went home after that. After we went home, i bathe and sleep at abt 2.30am.
For today, nothing much, decided to stay home and rest as i was quite tired after a long week of events. Ya, also planning a ite gathering for the chinese this sat. I will be going for a jb trip on 12 oct too. For next week, so far tuesday is my brother's enlistment date into the police force, my family will be going, wednesday i will be on a cycling trip with azli and sat is the ite gathering. That's life for me next week!! Will update again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Continue from last post................

I left off the last blog saying i will be cooking dinner the next day which is last wednesday. So i cooked dinner that night, i guess cooking fried rice was not as easy as i thought. I thought the final product which is the fried rice i cook was not really very good as some of the ingredients got charred. Anyway,talking abt cooking, i shall be cooking tonite again for dinner. It is like a weekly thing to me already as i cooked once almost for every week in my poly holidays.For last thursday i went to grandma's to visit her and catch up with my cousin over there. For last friday, was asked by wee kiong to accompany him to recruit express. So i went to orchard to meet him at abt 1pm that day. After that, we went to recruit express where he applied a form which helped him find a job. Anyway, till now, i guess he was not inform for any offers of jobs ba. After that is done, went to walk and window shop around orchard area. Decided to watch a movie since it was raining after we had lunch that time. We watch a korean movie that day. The movie is abt vampires and how they killed humans for blood. It is named 'thirst'. The movie was ok only as the story is somehow typical and a bit boring and quite a gore i would say. For last saturday, i guess i was called by ah kiong and we decided to go look for lijin to show her some concern for recent matters. Anyway,before that i thought of asking azli out as he would be gone for hari raya in malaysia the next few days. I guess i found out i made the wrong choice the later part of the day. So in the end, i met up with ah kiong in the evening about 5pm. We met up at the amk library as ah kiong wanted to return some library books before going to amk hub to look for lijin that night. I guess the visit of some sort to show our concern was unsuccessful. That night, i guess i should not have appeared in front of her ba. After showing my face for less than a few seconds, she don even talk to me at all and just walk away from me. Before that, she still got talk to ah kiong. At that moment, i was a bit stunned.I thought i did not do anything to her before. Further more, i did not say anything to her that night other than the few SMSes i sent. Actually, wanted to surprise her but in the end, i was left with no words for her actions. I guess if i had not appeared that night, maybe she can have a good chat with ah kiong ba. I guess besides being stunned, i was a bit sad because we actually came all the way to amk hub to show some care and concern and wanted to ask abt the upcoming malaysia trip and to catch up as we did not meet up for a long time liao. Anyway after that, i thought cannot blame her for her actions since she was rather in a bad mood ba. After the incident, we proceeded to see the game shops in amk hub before heading for dinner at amk hawker centre. While on the way to the hawker centre i saw some of my secondary friends which i did not contact since secondary days. Just walk passed them as not really close to them. The day sort of ended after dinner at the hawker centre. I had duck rice while ah kiong had hokkien prawn noodles. So i reach home abt 10.30pm that night. Actually, when i went home that night, i thought of messaging lijin to show concern and tell her i am her friend, not her problem and i won't force her to talk abt problems she did not feel like talking abt. Anyway, did not do that. I guess that is my only weakness towards girls, some of the things i might not express as well as to guys ba. I think that is much, much harder. I mean if you know me well enough..... This is for those friends who know me should understand ba. Ok, back to the events. I shall continue the things for last sunday. Last sunday, my father was not working due to hari raya. So in the afternoon, my father suggested we went to a temple to pray. My brother did not follow us on sunday as he had to do his revision driving lessons for his upcoming 4th traffic police test today. So i went out in the afternoon with my parents to a temple in chinatown, after that went to maxwell hawker centre to have lunch. After lunch, we went to suntec as suggested by me for the food fair in suntec. Not too many people there as expected by me, but the things sold i think are not very cheap, only reasonable ba. We had thai shark's fins over the food fair only. After that, went to look at the things father would love to look at which is electronics and electrical appliances at harvey norman, then carrefour.In the end, besides buying bags for myself and brother. The three of us would then end up buying a brand new sofa set. What i would not agree is that, father actually bought a glass coffee table for 69 dollars. I feel it is a waste of money. Anyway, it will be delivered next friday.That day, father spent a lot of money. Anyway, i thought that when father is at home, we tend to spend a lot of money. This is true for most cases lol. He is better off working ba. After buying the furniture from carrefour, we headed for MRT and ate dinner at hougang mall area before going home that day. For yesterday, spent the day at auntie's place a few blocks away from ours. My cousin is getting married next saturday, so the whole family was invited to her house to collect cakes. It was a great day as the whole family including my uncles, aunties, cousins, grandma was there. Been a long time since the whole family was there, all the catching up was done yesterday i guess. Found out we will be celebrating my grandma's 79th birthday next month on 17 oct. For this week, a new event coming up when be on sat, a gathering with my army friends. For next week, will be a rather busy week for me. Next monday to wednesday will be my second poly chalet, will be keeping my fingers crossed as no details had been released yet. Thursday or friday will be meeting another group of army friends i guess, also not confirmed. For saturday, will be my cousin's wedding day from morning till the wedding dinner in the night. The wedding dinner is at orchard's holiday inn hotel and restaurant. So far, these are the updates in my life!!! Will update again!!!!!!!!Look out for more!!!!

Abt the past few days.........................

Abt sunday, thought was going to COMEX again but surprised to find out actually they are not going to COMEX. Met up with my secondary school friends at abt 4pm before heading to penisular plaza where azli look out for new clothes that he wants together with me, jeremy and yaqin. After he bought t-shirts, jeremy also found jeans that he wants and also bought them. After that, we headed for the MRT as we decided to go AMK for LAN gaming, suggestion from jeremy. On the way there, saleh called while the MRT was reaching dhoby ghuat and he say he was at PS. So due to the turn of events, we ended up meeting him at PS. Shopped around PS for a while as azli was leaving to help his mother move some new furniture bought. He left us at abt 6.40pm. Then we window shop around the mall as it is almost breaking fast time for saleh. Then, we decided to eat pastamania for dinner, so the break fast time for saleh and we ate dinner before heading to The Cathay to play LAN games. This time it is better for me as the 4 of us played as a team in the game 'Left for dead'. I felt quite ok playing as a team and enjoyed the game more than the other time where i played alone. Anyway, played for 2 hours before the shop closes and we finished playing at abt 10pm. After that, slack a while and talk abt the game before going home. Saleh send me home on his bike again as we parted with jeremy and yaqin. This is the third or fourth time i guess, a bike ride can be enjoyable i guess. Anyway, quite grateful for him sending me home time and again. For yesterday, i went back to school in the afternoon for the notebook clinic at 4pm where the company technicians came down and help us check our laptop and i sign up for the slot from 4pm-6pm. I told them abt my problem with the laptop and it took a while for them to check. Anyway, i stay there the longest among the people there. Anyway, it took 1 hour for my case. That afternoon, a bit rush for me and didn't even have the time to eat lunch. Anyway, i ate lunch after the notebook clinic at abt 5.30pm. I had SUBWAY as there was not much i could choose from. After eating, i scrolled over to the Singapore poly graduates' guild house to hand my application for the bursary. I reach home at about 7pm yesterday.Today nothing much for me to do, so i stayed home. Actually decided to cook fried rice for dinner but had stomache in the afternoon so decided to abandon the plan and cook tomorrow. Will update again.......................

This week.........................

After finish watching the drama, this week i go out mainly because of COMEX ba. Today will be going again. Later going with my secondary school friends. Anyway, the first time on thursday went COMEX to just look around and walk. Second time which is yesterday, went and bought the norton anti virus 09 for $39. From last blog, the movie i watch was G-force in 3D on thursday as it is much more cheaper watching it during a weekday. Considering going to COMEX for 3 times, but i think quite ok because sort of going out with different groups of friends i guess. For this week, i also made a decision not to work this holidays so that i can enjoy myself to the fullest. Reasons that come with it is i had not really any holidays since the ITE days after i graduate from ITE. After graduating from ITE in 2007, i enjoy abt 2 months of holidays i guess before working at IKEA tampines for 1 month and then entering the army. In army, there's no such thing as long holidays. Longest only 1 week lol. So this 2 years in army really sucks. Therefore, i want to enjoy to the fullest this holidays that i have. Anyway for today, i thinking whether to buy a handphone today at COMEX. What a decision lol! Sian! For next week, should have time to start exercising i guess. So far, my plans are on monday(tomo) to bring my laptop for the notebook clinic in school and thursday is a trip to my grandma's place with my cousin. Also next week, should have time to cycle finally. Relive the memories, cycling bought upon me. Got to love it! Update again guys!!!!

Drama days at home this few days.................

From the last post, i with my brother cook dinner for the second time this holidays. This time, got soup, fried chicken wings and fish nuggets and steam egg too. Not too bad, just that the soup a bit bland cause did not have enough salt. Long time never cook, so trying to refesh my memories of cooking dinner in the past secondary school days for the family. Ok, from monday till yesterday, i finally finished watching the chinese drama ' Xian Jian Qi Xia 3' and it is within 5 days only. Good achievement i guess! Anyway, next up for me in the holidays will be exercising and cycling. First, the new bicycle i bought together with my brother needs a bell and a lock before i can start riding it out i guess. So need to buy those 2 stuffs first. After that, cycling can be done and i will need to run also to get back the stamina. Long time since i run i guess. Cycling is always one of the passions i have in life. Remember when i was young, my father will always bring the whole family out cycling from place to place. Like from our home in hougang, we go to toa payoh, bishan, serangoon and etc. We even explore the secluded area of sengkang before it is now. Memories on the bicycle for me, forms a big part in my childhood i guess. Anyway, after watching the drama, it is day to go out lol! Going to watch a movie and the IT show in suntec today. Update you guys again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
