Crazy people...

Me and Mini near Nanyang Audit...

Exams are coming... And this is going to be my 4th exam in NTU. So, in a way or another, i am almost half way there, 3 more exams and 1 IA and i will be gone. Yesterday went Weenam with Tzeshan and Grace, hmmm, just found that i have fell in love, that is, in love with my Structure textbook. It doesn't seems that diffcult - but it is lah... Since the momentum is here, i guess i have to make good use of it...

Taken at NIE on Wednesday, it was raining hence it created a dreamy feel...

Another thing i wanna talk abt is this group of people. About 8 of them. Mainly guys. They are not far from me as i can see and hear them clearly from where i am. It seems like the exams are over for them. Instead of serious mugging, they are always enagaged in some form of disturbing activities. The "pong-chi-hoo" is the worst as the effects can attack me from the left, the right and even opposite. If it is normal days, it would be alright. But now...

Ate @ West Mall's Sakae Sushi today...

Woo hoo... went to West Mall's Sakae Sushi to eat with Denis, Chongmeng and Grace. Spent $16 there, was a good meal, especially with the steam egg, the takoyachi, the soba, the miso soup, and not to forget, the many sushi !! Had waited for Denis to finish class, which was by the time, 4.15pm. Then, we actually backtracked to Canteen A, hoping to grab a cab. We walked and we walked. All the way till we reached Canteen 2 then did we manage to flagged down one. It was already about 4.50pm or something. So we got about 1hr or so to finish our food... it is more than enough... And not to forget the entertainment provided by the little gal who sat behind me... sooooo cute.... hahaha... somemore she know how to pose for my camera...




After dinner, we walked a bit and then explored the OP shop. Saw this slipper and we all decided to have a pair. Some more, same colour. As the WM shop don't have size 10, the 4 of us then took 174 back to boon lay, back to our beloved Jurong point's OP to make our purchase.



Managed to catch the last half an hour of "never say die" where past rejected contestants of reality shows like "superhost", "staridol" and "superstar" were invited back to try again. It is kind of cruel to see them being joked around. Really. I felt bad laughing at them but then, it is rather entertaining.


Last weekend, tried dragonboating with the SR Alumni. Well, we didn't manage to get into the finals but it sure was a memorable one. But then, it remined me of the decision that i have made... not to join canoeing in ntu, did i make the right choice?

坦诚相对

I don feel good. There are somethings which i don really desire anymore. So, let be it ba... coz change is the only constant thing that is happening around us. I want to grow up, but in me, there's another kid. So how ? Where should i place myself ?

Then, there are some people who only thought of themselves. Darm. Living at the same place is not easy especially since we are easily affected by one another, be it the music or whatever. I know, to be tolerant is one thing, but continuous bombarding from their side is another. Imagine, slamming the door 5 times at 7am when everyone is still asleep. I don't think i can view them as of before.

What a Wah-week ...


This week is a killer. Really. Especially with the career fair and the converse fashion show and the odac trip booth and the tech comm report. Darm, i was like running around NTU trying to squeez some time here and there. But never the less it is over, and i can say, it sure is a good experience. Really give me a feeling of what it is like to be multi tasking in the real life. So comes Friday, supposing to be a relaxing day. Well, in the end, it still is a relaxing day. Just that nothing much was achieved as well. Haiz...

The career fair was a problem. A big problem. As Joelle couldn't come down to NTU herself, i have to help her alias with the people. So, i can't concentrate well on my studies, luckily i don't have lessons on tuesday. All the people who were suppose to come did so, and they all gave me problems of various degrees. At one moment of time, i had this tendency to leave and forgot about everything. But, i couldn't. Round 11.30am, i had to rush to Canteen B to get ready for the converse fashion show. I managed to get Keith into this as well, that is so nice of Rachael. The show was finished in less than 5minutes. Easy job indeed. Then after which, i rushed back to NYA, to find Tianhe, Minh and Xiaoqi ready for the tech comm discussion. Then i was like still struck with the surveyor thing. So, as i try to finish my Big Mac, i try to finish up what i have to do. Then, i we went to the CITS lab to do up the report. Eventually, the surveyors brought back the survey forms and the report was half done.


Then come thursday. Another crazy day. Joelle was uncontactable from 9am till 11.30am. And for one moment, i was so pissed with her that i almost wanted to hang pig head at her office's door. So i headed for the Geotechnics Lab to do up the experiment, but, it was completed when i reach, so i just stay around. Suddenly i got a sms from a foreign number, it turns out to be Joelle... Arghhh... i rushed back to NYA to find her, i kept my cool. I passed the survey forms to her and the other stuffs. Managed to get somebody to take charge of the surveyors and i was like... woooooo... freedom... but i still got a lot of phone calls and SMS from donno-who.

I rushed to Canteen A to chill up for a while. Leong Seng was at the table too. The OBS experience that we had just raked up many memories. Time flew past and it was time to go. This time round, the Converse fashion show was at Canteen A and the OCBC booth was facing the ODAC booth. So, meaning people at the ODAC booth will be able to see me. Mixed feeling. Really. Don't know what to say. When i was walking down the runway, i heard some cheers... or was it not... haha... something that was expected. This time round, i had to change into 3 shirts and walked 3 times. More hectic than the day before, but more fun. It was finished in a flash. Then it was time for the goodies. Hee hee... managed to get $30 for both days, plus a pair of Converse shoe, a OCBC goodies bag. I would say is easy money and indeed it was a great experience.

Now, next week seems to be impossible as well. Still got tons of stuffs to do... Die-d...

1. Bird Report

2. EN101 Report

3. EN101 Quiz

4. Civil engineering materials quiz

5. Animal Cruelty report

Hopefully all this stuffs can be clear soon as next week is a special week. YEAH !! *Hint**Hint* !! Still donno what i am getting at?? Go to read my profile again...

Cutting hair @ Kovan today is so so fun...


Today is a werid day. I went to Kovan, with Xiaoqi, Weijing and Tianhe to cut hair. But i was only there to see see... coz my hair is really short enough... Darm... So why was i there ? As i have already said... to see see...
Think the past few days of mugging really has gotten over me, now feeling like a nerd, ok lah, got mug but not a lot but at least something has been done, and i kind of proud of that. Haha... With the first lesson of minor in entrepreneurship commercing on tuesday, i have come to realise that this course is going to be an inspiring one. A/P Tan was saying,
" Entrepreneur is not out to make a lot of $$ but instead, he has a dream, a dream to change the way... "
Back to cutting-hair-@-Kovan, well, i must say the hairstylist impressed me one way or another, as i eavedropped to her giving comments to Weijing about her curls, i was like, "woo... she's good..." So, even neighbourhood hair salon can be as good as those big names... Then after like 1.5hrs of cutting, they are finally done, Weijing with nice curls, Xiaoqi with layered hair, Tianhe with a shorter version of what he had before. It was all nice and cheap, ranging from $9-$14 with cut and wash. Quite worth it. I think.
Then we headed for Yoshinoya @ Heartland mall, i was like... " Got student price leh... $3.95 only or 1 bowl, a plate of 3 pieces of chips and 1 drink... " I was quite happy with it... really, since it has been a long time since i had had Yoshinoya. After lunch, it was jounery back to NTU. I have many things to settle, so i guess deciding to go back to sch was the right choice.
1. Getting surveyors for the career fair
2. Lab report
3. Sending emails to Fuji Xerox and Adventure 21
4. Study
Then, round 5plus, i had a call from Rachael, forgot from where one... she was telling me that i have been selected to be one of the models for the Converse show on 15th and 16th. Yeah!! Meaning, i will get $30 out of it... not a lot... but i hope it will be fun... so dudes, watch out for me as i catwalk in converse next week at NTU Canteen B and A respectively from 12pm - 1pm... haha... sounds kind of Himbo... but then... who cares...

U cannot discover new ocean unless U have the courage to lose sight of the shore..


Cool... just went OBS last weekend. 3 days 2 nights camp. I went to OBS before but it is really a new and different experience this time round. The things that we did are more challenging and the people we have are more active people.

Things were really thrown to us to make it look like the real world scenarios. High element obstacles are not the same anymore, it is not just climbing up and climbing down. Instead, it is more like a real life version of the board game, Monopoly.

We had bloody lotsa food !! For the 1st day, we had expedition, and we were suppose to bring along the dry food that was prepared for us, it was alot loh... i think with that amount, can last us for 2days... becoz when we are tired, we won't be eating much. And when we got back to camp, all meals was wonderful. Delicious. Different!! Very different from 5yrs ago when i was there. But i must say NTC is rather rich to be able to offer this camp for us, as from my understanding, it costs $500 for one person and we had 33. Go do your calculation and you will see, it is not a small sum.

I found friends, people who are of the same mindset with me. Last time, when i talked to someone about starting a business, i only got back negative response. This time round, i have actually managed to find people who are willing to listen and share their views with me. Steady right!! But of course, just like army, there are always a few who can't take the pressure, or rather they are not used to being in harsh environment. I must say, i will try to look on this point and view them as normally as possible.

Whenever i met a strong competitior, i will kind of hate him or something, as i felt that he/she is a threat to me. Good for me, i managed to overcome this and actually accept him and make him my friend. Is not easy, but it is definitely worth it. As they say, Life is a continuous learning process until the day we died.

what a week ...

gosh, i really do not know how to describe this week. It is not hectic but yet, it is rather emotional. My mood can be like happy and yet depress the next moment. I don't know why. Why ?

I was thinking, to lead a simple life is good, but i just can't settle down for one. But now, i think i am getting a bit tired. Moving too fast, doing too many stuffs. I suppose, i must tell myself, i can do it. And, i will do it.
