'Rawr' I Am!

Sheeze, I actually forgot to check if the memory card was inside the digital camera. Luckily, my dad had a spare card in his car. Phew! Otherwise, it will be a trip wasted! It was like 5 years ago, since I went to the zoo. It's like so different now! It's much more sheltered and cosier le.. No more sweating like a pig anymore. Time check: 3pm. Went to their new attraction "Asia of Elephants" and saw this cute little performance by the big guys. *reminds me of the band song "Baby Elephant Walk"* Got see them lift up a 500kg log etc. Do all the funky moves here and there. Groovey babeh!

After this walk, it was all monkeys. =.=" I guess I got to see good luck buttocks of the red baboons, since it's new year. LOL! I wonder why God created their buttocks red, and not as the same as the rest of the monkeys. Hmm.. And yea, we saw 3 white tigers. They are so darn pretty! And there goes my grandfather talking about 4D and stuff like that... See white tiger = win 4D. =.=" Went to the children's farm thingy, and played with the bunnies, ponies and so on. I can't believe that a cow dug is actually so BIG! I wouldn't even want to get close to it man. After this thing, we went to check out the Tropical something something area. Haha.. I forgot the name already. It's just an area, where you get to see all the different type of plants etc. Amazing how the fruits there grow so well. Most of my plants in the garden are all fruitless literally, except for the Guava tree.

The mountain goat is so fake lor! We were like o.O, when we saw it. We actually thought that someone placed a sculpture of a goat there.. Wahaha.. It's only when it moved, that we realised it was real. No wonder those born in the year of goat are able to concentrate so well, or should I say day-dream. Wahahaha.. By the time we left the zoo, the souvenir shops had already closed. It was 6pm. Bleh!

Home sweet home. Slept for quite a while, after eating a number of Rou Gan. After I woke up, I was simply too tired to eat my dinner and do my project. Haiz... Anyway, I managed to finish that crap at 2am. And it's already 3am soon, and I had yet to prepare my speech for my individual presentation. Oh well.. I guess I need to crap the hell out of everything tomorrow. Got a couple of research that I need to read tomorrow.. Hmm.. Good luck to me man! Hope I would just freeze there again. Hahaha...

Day 1, 28/01/06
Clean up the house, of course. Went to prepare for my mother's side reunion dinner. It's weird that we don't have any reunion for my father's side.. That's why every year when I meet them, they just simply appear too stranger to me. Bleh! Some of my relatives are over at Malaysia.. So I guess that's the reason? My father's side grandpa and grandma is over at JB. From what I heard from my mum, my grandpa is stuck in Malaysia, because his passport has expired. And to renew it, it will be too troublesome for him, having to go to town; and had to pay about $400 I think for 5 years extension. So yea.. Anyway, my relatives came over to my house, and started playing Mahjong. My dad simply likes playing it. Not sure who lost though. It appears to me that my dad ain't good at it, after all. Talk big, action sucks. Wahhaha... As for the kids, we simply stick to our games. We kinda played the Xbox game "Fable" the entire day.. Leveling and getting different type of skills.. Wahaha.. I know we got no life. Dinner was a mix of bbq and steamboat. Ate so much items lor..

Day 2, 29/01/06
Ang bao grabbing time! Work up as early as 8am and get ready to head Malaysia.. Went to woodlands and picked up my uncle, who's going to meet with my other relatives to go genting. Took a visit at my grandparent's house at Johor Bahru. The old man refused to join the rest and have fun in genting.. Saying that he couldn't walk, but the weird thing is that he can actually ride a bicycle damn well! LOL! Anyway, sitting on the car doesn't require much energy. As predicted by my dad, it was the lottery that made him stay. =.=" Why does this happen to all the grandpas I know!!! Zzz.... My mother's side one can spend up to $150 on single day's lottery. I'm so damn pissed off about that lor. He could have used it for a better use, like going to learn tachi or something like that. INSTEAD, he go and buy useless 4D papers. They should really make some sort of banning system for these sort of people, same as the casino one.

Back to topic, we went to another place.. Have no idea where on earth is it! About 2 hour ride, and finally reached our destination. Got kinda bored there. What's funny is that my sister had a sudden stomachache and had to go to the toilet of ALL the houses we went after this. Wahahaha.. She's indeed a Cai Sheng Ye.. Left so many gold at everyone's house. And a stinky one too! LOL! Went back to JB, and picked up my grandfather to have dinner. It was like o.O lor. There's apparently no food restuarant open! Oh wait. There's one.. But we got to wait like 1 hour for our food! No thanks man. We saw quite a number of unhappy customers... They kinda eat finish their rice already, even before the meat arrives. LOL! Imagine having to wait about 20minutes for each dish.. Haha.. In the end, we had to resort to eating Pizza Hut. Man their crust is much better than SG's! Soup kinda sucks, since it was those powder type. But it's cheap! My grandpa really had a lot of trouble eating those food. In fact, he never tried using a knife and fork to eat before. You can already see my grandpa's hands complete messed up. Oh well. What do you expect for an old man like him. On our way home back to SG, we saw quite a number of mini-fireworks set off by the local people there. From what I heard, Malaysians can only set them off on the 2nd day of CNY, besides that. No-no... Cute, but fun.

Day 3, 30/01/06
Today, we headed for my aunt's house only, because the other relatives went out apparently. =.=" Less angbao le.. Sheeze. Had a great time there though. This little cousin of mine is so freakin' cute! He's like doing arobatics on my aunt. LOL! Jump here and there. Anyway, we watched a show on TV about some sort of 80s show. Saying how music has evolved etc.. Played peekaboo with my cousin. Wahaha.. If only I have taken a photo of him... Went home, and slept immediately! By the time I woke up, I realised that all my relatives had arrived. Opps! Played card games with my relatives. Kinda lost 2 bucks around there. Was on a winning streak then lor! Dammit. Should have left with all da money. As for my cousins, they simply stick to my laptop and desktop computer, and played Maple Story. LOL! As for my brother, he played Fable.. Did the food thing as usual. Lao yu sheng.. this time got add salmon. Taste not that bad.. *drools*. Couldn't really eat much of the dinner. Bleh!

Anyway, I should really go off now. Take care bye! Tomorrow must start doing all the last minute homework, and projects... haha..

Thanks Sharez for being so self-less! He actually passed around the FSN notes to the class to share what he have, unlike another person *cough cough*... COMPLETELY screwed up my OC test, although I had studied from 12am to 3am yesterday. Haiz... It will either be a pass or fail for this. 40% success rate I think. =/

Breaks, breaks and more breaks. Alex surprised me by returning the lappie today. It's like as if he didn't use lor. I guess he didn't want to lend/borrow anything during the CNY. Wahahaa.. Bad omen? Heh. Anyway, I tried to connect my laptop wirelessly at the level 7 library. But somehow, I can connect but cannot go online. Got excellent signal lor. TP network is ever so cranky. Work perfectly fine for me previously. Yuan Long's one can't even detect. LOL! Sucky lar.. His laptop.. Hahaha..

Went to Rivervale Mall to cut my hair at the salon, next to Jean Yip at $16 for cut and wash. Not bad lar.. Except the fact that the hairdresser go and cut slope for me. I said no preference, and she gave me this type of style. Zzz.. Aiya, at least more clean-looking le. Last time, got a really reallly messy hairstyle. Oh wait, what hairstyle? It's just mess! LOL! No more sideburn... *sniff sniff* Kena burned. Hahhaa.. I just noticed that there's quite a number of hair-cutting shops here. On level 1, there's the Malay and QB haircut shop. At level 2, there's KiMage, Jean Yip and The Salon?? (Don't know the name for this!)

First thing to do tomorrow, when I wake up: Clean-up my freakin' messy room. Later, relatives come over for reunion dinner and see the mess. They will start to nag sia.. This Ruben hor.. Very messy one. Should learn to be more neat like your brother.. Zzzz...

Opps? Too lazy to go online and blog yesterday. Did almost the same thing again today. What is the first thing I do once I get back home? SLEEP! 2 hours of sleep is sufficient for me to stay awake at night, and burn mid-night oil to study for quiz. Got back my maths quiz paper, kinda scored badly 12/20. Oh well.. Problem-based learning just ain't my type I guess. It's so gonna pull my marks down alot. Top student for this quiz, Sharez got 18/20. He could have gotten 20/20, but thanks to me, I pulled it down. I really didn't meant for it to happen lor! Sorry Sharez!

Today's PIPC quiz kinda stink. Didn't quite know how to do the last question I think. How to balance a redox reaction? Zzz.. And instead of Al(3+), I go put Al(2+). o.O Haha... I know I know... I haven't been doing my best. Gonna start studying for my OC test later at 11pm. Then, mug until... let's say.. 2am? Wish me good luck man. The hardest quiz among all. After this one, it's party time! Woohoo! Must get ready for the big bang of CNY!

新年快乐, 祝愿你年年有鱼。

Translation: Happy Chinese New Year! Wish you year year got fish! LOL!

This is the first time bus 27 not full in the morning. Luckily, don't have to stand like a sleepy retard again. School as per normal again. Why can't school be fun and ever-changing? Zzz.. Another 3 hour break since there isn't any APEl lessons. Mr. Teong didn't want to see us sia, specifically Yuan Long... Wahaha... Me, Kai Jie, Jeremy, Soo Chin, Zai Wei, Wei Liang head to the Norgen cafe in the school to have tea break. Spent $7.95 on their potato salad, soup and ice cream there. Need to start saving money! Money is hard to come lor. Feel like cutting my hair tomorrow at K Image. Or should I just go to the $10 haircut one? Not sure leh. See how.. I'm going broke soon! Must really really learn the art of saving.

World Issues. This time it was located in the business school, because 3 groups had to present their project formally. 2 of them kinda sucks, while the last one was good. Don't like the indian bugger in the class. Always so proud, and try to act smart. Must make sure he die in his presentation. Throw him all the hard questions. Evil sia me.. Whahaha.. See if he can handle it like Alex anot. Haha.. Hafn't started on my part of the project. Luckily, this presentation is on next next week. Phew!

Fell asleep straight away, once I got home. Tomorrow no need to wake up so early! YAY! 3pm pratical lessons. The rest all kena cancelled or just dun haf. Heh. Can stay up late again. Time to watch my favourite show LOST - season 2 episode 11! Tata!

Nothing much happened in school today, besides Alex asking if he could borrow my laptop. Stupid Yuan Long don't want to lend him. Now, I have to bring my heavy big bulky laptop on Wednesday. Can you come and get it yourself anot? Wahaha..

Bleh! Let's go straight to the main thing I'm going to write today. It's my Mum's birthday today! Each of my siblings contributed $50 to buy my mum a $199 ring yesterday at SK, since that was one dollar to our maximum budget. It was the only one piece left, that luckily can manage to be slipped into her finger. Phew! It has different colour gems on it. Don't know how to explain lar. Ain't into such thing. The birthday cake was bought by my brother. It tasted okay ba. Good enough for me. Haha..

Studying for maths now. See if got time to project later. Gonna get shoot down by my team mate le. Must think up of lotsa excuse liao.. Haha.. End.

This was my second trip to Bangkok - Thailand, which took placed 1 year ago. The first one was actually a primary school-organised one. This time, my parents wanted to go and pray the "Four-faced Buddha" in Bangkok, so we kinda tag along for fun and see if we could get our hands on some nice clothes back to Singapore. This picture was actually taken in Rose Garden, where we watched some sort of culture performance as well. Trips are fun! Sooo eager to go to Shang Hai this coming end of semester...

Something was different this morning. I realised that I no longer have fever and flu! It was a great feeling, except I can't sing the songs I like, or eat any food I like. Had to endure all of this for now. At least, I can start mugging for my exams and do my projects, without headaches and stuff like that.

What did I do today? Hm.. Took a ride to tampines, and went to all the shops there is in Tampines Mall and Century Square. Kinda sick of that place actually, but then again, where else can I shop, besides this, Orchard Road, Compass Point and Queenstown. Bleh! Bought 2 pants, one from U2 and Bossini. 1 shirt from OP. Erm.. What else ar? Nothing liao. Cos the rest of the things not nice to me sia.. Haha.. Too choosy ba. Can't believe this is actually happening to me this year. ONLY 3 new clothes for CNY. Need to do more last-minute shopping on Friday.

Back at home, I managed to briefly finish my homework. Oh deer! I still haven't do my World Issues project, which I swear that I will finish and pass it to my team mate by Monday! Then, also have to study for quiz. I'm sure I'll be hanged dead by my friends. How to explain... Haiz..

Yay! RongFang also read my blog... But what so nice about reading blogs ar? Wahhaa.. I still don't get it, even though I blog.

Didn't feel quite right in the morning, when I was trying to sleep. Went to bed only at 4am, even though I turned in at about 12.30pm! My head was basically sizzling hot that I couldn't get a good rest. This is my worst sleep ever in my life. Absolutely. Nope, I didn't actually tot of using a towel to put on my forehead there. Too nuts to think!

Can't believe I actually went to school, because I wanted to help out with the school guide thing. But then, once I got there, I decided to turn back. My 2 dark eye rings has made me a zombie.. LOL! So you can't expect a zombie-looking bugger to help around, don't you? Let's say the rest of the time I stayed in my room, and slept my hours away.. I seriously can't afford to continue to be sicked next week! There's too much quiz, and projects to do. Help me! T.T

After all those hours of napping, I still feel hot somehow. My voice is kinda gone. Flu is gona as well. Now, it's just the headache and the sore throat I guess. One down, two more to go! Anyway, I just watched 3-4 hours straight of "Room Raiders" on MTV. Cool show lor. Girls gets to pick the room she likes, and the boy who owns the room gets the date. All the girls did a CSI search on the boy's bedroom, and find lotsa kinky stuff. Wahahha..

Looks like I got my first 2 active blog readers - insanemi and pinkperiscope. LOL! My blogging style is very different hor? I think so.. Hmm... Hope I get well soon! RAWR!

Oh well.. Looks like I'm destined not to go for the open house today. Early today in the morning around 2-3am, was doing my OC assignment, when signs of illness started showing up. Was having a flu then. But when I got up this morning, i had this fever, sore throat, and flu. Zzzz... in the end, i was just too sick to do almost anything. How do you expect me to guide a class, when I can't even shout. Zzz.. Not sure about tomorrow now. Oh well.. I'll just try my luck. If go there, also no use. Haiz.

Ate fish porridge for my lunch. Went to library take a nappie. Wanted to go home, but I simply can't afford to skip any lessons lor. Next week got all the stupid quiz. Luckily, the OC quiz has been postponed to Friday. HENG AR!

Have been taking lotsa water. Urine alot as well. I can actually feel the heat leaving my body lor. Taken my body temperature, it's just 38 degrees. And I'm feeling so HOT! Help! *feels forehead* OUCH! Oh well.. Better get an early sleep now. Ciaos!

eached school just in time for school guide briefing at 11.15am. Missed a total of 2 lectures today. Still wondering why did we meet up so early, when the buses only start to arrive at 1pm or so. Before that, I went over to Mensa alone sadly, to eat 2 cheesy pratas. Somehow curry was spilled onto my hand, and my money change. Zzz... Had to endure with it, till I finish eating, since no one will be there to look after my food if I were to leave first. Went over to bookshop to grab strepsels and some sweets. Still having sorethroat lor. Bleh!

After hours of dazing around, I finally managed to communicate with the other members, and gotten my first batch of noobies! Okok.. Not noobies, classes. Haha.. The gals in that class is so freakin irritating! Took them to project show first.. But somehow I got 2 classes, and they're stuck together. The entire room was filled, so much that no one was able to move. After 5 minutes of so, we left and head towards the booths. No one was really interested, since everyone was basically jammed and conjested.

Stupid booths people never take any initiative to help intro the course to them. As I was saying the gals are so TOOT! Haha.. They simply didn't respect my course lor.. Say want to go over to business school asap. Sian. Ask me to quickly end this shit. Managed to go through all but FSN course in the AS block. Hmm...

Oh well.. After that, I managed to do some stuff here and there. Chat here and there. Drink 4 cups of milo. And that's it I guess. LOL! During the debrief session, the stupid "smart" Alex ask me to go for tomorrow's shift as well. In the end, kena supported by the Azuan and teacher. =.=" Then, bo bian have to go. Zzz... Now, back at home. Trying to do my Organic Chemistry assignment, which is due tomorrow. Gonna attend only the first few lessons till 2pm, then I go help again. Will miss 2 tutorials that's it I guess. Haha..

Take care. Bonjour. Ciaos!

No time to blog again. TD spot check by director Dr. Ong again. This dude is very extra at times. LOL! Alex did an excellent job in his CSAS presentation, fighting all those bullets from the audience. Wahahaha.. There's no chlorine in NEWater, only some amount of sodium leh. Luckily, the teacher gundo. BOD given. Heh. No world issues = Great! Stupid guy on bus sitting beside me don't know how to keep himself upright, while closing his eyes to take a nappy. For a moment, I thought he might fall onto the floor. Tomorrow open house. Good luck to me. Nite nite!

AIyo. Forgot another blog. Still trying to make this thing a 'good' habit. Another normal day, with dark clouds in the afternoon. I think there'll gonna be rain tomorrow definitely. Becos DR. Teong, I mean Mr. Teong (Take that Kai Jie!) we had a total of 3 hours break. Chill out in level 6 library watching other groups prepare for their CSAS presentation. One's on Hydrophonics, another is Diabetes. I can say I'm ranked the weakest of all currently, due to my ill-prepared script. Zzz... Aiya, still got the upcoming Individual Presentation to lean back on I hope. Next week will be a hell week:

Monday - OC Quiz
Tuesday - AM (PBL Statement 1) Quiz
Wednesday - CSAS Individual Presentation
Thursday - PIPC Quiz

Not to forget the TD Quiz, which I have no idea when is it as yet. Why did they chose AM Quiz on Tuesday?! Why not after the CNY? I don't mind studying on CNY. I need a break!

During the World Issues's lesson, we did some sort of Amazing Race game. Whoever finish it first will leave first. But yea, that didn't interest me at all, since I had to stay back till 6.30pm for the School Guide Briefing. We walked from the Engineering block all the way to IT block to use the computers there. LOL! Nuts you can say. End to end. Haha.. Can't stand this "enthu" guy Wen Liang in my project group at times, he can really be scary at times.Anwyay, we managed to complete this thing at 5.30pm, which means 30 minutes early. So... I went over to Mensa to makan some snacks and look at the beautiful scenery of Bedok resouvior.

At the beginning of the briefing, I was kinda blur and loner lor. Because most of the people there ain't from my course. Sad. So shouldn't have said yes to Alex. I just hope that I wouldn't lead those students into a manhole or something like that. LOL! 2 i-guides and 1 school guide per class. Hmm.. After some time, pieces of clarify starts to piece together, and got enlightened somehow. Btw, Alex please don't overuse the word "BASICALLY". It really irritates me after some time. Haha.. Doing my school guide duty on Thursday and Saturday.. Don't have to miss friday's lesson! YAY! But my LOA is approved.. Heh!

End of day... I have finally completed drawing all the neccessary components for the OC assignment. I think I should leave the rest to the other team members.. Otherwise, that Su Hua will start to say I take everyone's work again.

Wham!

Yea yea... Late again... I'll start on my grandmother story again. My little online dairy! *flashback* Supposedly to wake up at 10am, but instead I woke up at 12pm.. Haha.. 2 hours only.. No big deal? Guess not. You'll see why later.

The meeting with my friends changed last minute to 4pm. So yea.. I tot I was late for a moment having to wait approximately 10+ minutes for a stupid 119 bus. But in the end, I turned out to be the earliest! LOL! Soon, I later met up with my old jc pals Karen, Ai Ting, kitty, Peng Yuan and Stephen, and started shopping for a birthday gift to Darwis the birthday boy in Takashimaya. After minutes of hesitation here and there, we decided to simply grab a cute dog, bitting on a heart.

At Paragon, we saw this 6 years-old-boy Ethan Ong playing drums. Man is he pro! He started learning at 2 years old! Feel pretty ashamed of myself now. Haha.. If you got time, you should go over and give him your support. Anyway, we later meet up with Darwis and started moving over to his house. I would say he has a pretty view at home! Played UNO stacko, card games, and Darwi's MSN messenger! LOL! We randomly go to any one on the list, and started saying "I love you", and make a fool out of himself in front of them! Wahhaha.. Moral of story for today: Never ever let your friend touch your MSN messenger, or it's pay-back time for them! LOL! I like his ice-cream bdae cake! *drools* Don't care! I want it for my birthday coming soon! *hint hint*

Happy Birthday, Darwis!

After all the fun we had in his house, we took off at 9pm, and went to SengKang Compasspoint's 7 eleven to grab a couple of drinks, and started wandering around for a while till we're tired. Next thing I knew, I was sitting on my home computer. As I was saying about the 2 hours thing earlier, I'm now struggling to complete my PBL assignment. Bleh! So much that I actually forgotten to blog my yesterday's post. After this today, I'll have to go on to the World Issues project. Somebody save me...... And welcome Kai Jie to join in the latest fanatic blogging! LOL!

Though i had slept at 3am, and woke up at appx 8am, i was still fairly awake during the lectures. Somehow I just managed to put my focus onto the lectures.. Kinda a rush day actually, trying to complete and pass up our PBL. Problems kinda propped in our answers last minute, after checking with other groups. Screw it man.. Let it be. Didn't know that binding of notes cost only 60 cents. I guess it's money well spent for the project. Haha.. One project down, and another one pops up. Zzz.. This makes me have a remaining of 4 projects to do: PBL (Statement 2), OC (Adol Condensation), World Issues (Genetically-Modified Food) and CSAS (Lab Report).

Life is simply just to unfair. This reminds me of a online friend, who's friend recently sucided. She's really depressed now, but I simply have no idea how to comfort her. Life sucks, but it's very precious. This is because there may be no second chance, unless you believe in after-life. I really wonder if there's such thing. Faith is one thing I don't have now, but I'm sure I'll cling onto one when the time comes and place my hopes in ife.

Stop! Haha.. Talk too much about serious stuff le. Tomorrow got a school guide meeting.. Sian.. Really don't know what to do then. Anyway, what are the challenges that will hinder the progress of the further development of Genetically-Modified Food? LOL! Wahahahaha...

On December 2003, my family and I went to Korea for 7 days, and later Japan for 2 days. I can still clearly remember vividly the situation then, and that pervertic tour guide. LOL! This picture was taken in Disneyland Japan. Guess which person is me? Quite obvious, if compare with previous photos. Wahahaha...

Posted by Ruben at 5:19 AM | Permalink | Comments (0)

I know i know, do this entry late again. Haha.. Do expect more of this lor.. haha..

8.45am to meet all the dudes at the bus-stop. 9am the Adverture Learning Program began. *yawn* Did a little bit of ice-breaker games as usual. Had to group to numbers according to what an instructor says. Loser = Forfeit. But guess what? The forfeit is just 3 SIMPLE jumping jacks. o.O Too bad we don't get to see any human-pole dancing. LOL! Started off the actual "class-bonding" activity with some wood thingy, that everyone have to stand on it, and start moving it forward to collect somethings and u-turn back. 3 groups... And my group won - Must be Fadzly's power sia.. Wahahaha..

Secondly, it's the trust game. Whereby you cross your arms, then fall back onto the canvans supported by the class. Let's say I did badly for it lor. Slipped when I fall. Stupid timberland shoes. Zzz... After which, we went for a short break. Then, went back to games again. This time, we got retrieve a tyre out of a 3m or so high pole. Had to climb on Wei Ming's back to try to get that thing out. The Alex darn brave.. Haha.. He so fast on his legs, on Sharez. So I just support lor. Wahaha.. When putting back, we tried to throw it back it. Quite a lot of nearly-succesful tries, but in the end, have to use back the old method. Sian bo.

Break again, cos of 1 slow class. At the rest area, we played the secret number game, you know the chinese version in a channel u show? There's sort of range, then there'll be a master. Masters choose a number, and tell us if we guessed it correctly or not. If no, he'll tell us the range. Jeremy very anti-social lor.. Keep running away from the game, and hide behind the tree doing his indiana dance. LOL! Losers who guessed the number will get splashed with water. I so ungentlemen.. held onto Wei Lian to stop her from running away. Hehe..

Finally, it's lim bei's turn. We wanted to play the uber-fun balancing game, but the stupid slow class go and chopped it. Zzz.. So we play another wood game, whereby we have to transport people from one end to another, making bridges etc. Haha.. Don't know how to explain this le.. Skip!

At the end of the day, we did some sort of bombing game, and some sotong crap. We later went to makan at TM, and caught a movie, "Memoirs of a Geisha". It's a very nice movie, if you like stories of a person etc. Quite a sad life she got. Too bad this sort of true culture no longer exist in Japan. Should really watch it, to experience the past, and understand their suffering.

Okie dokie. The end. Tomorrow go Orchard to celebrate Darwis's birthday. Man! When am I going to start buying my CNY clothes. No time!!!

Posted by Ruben at 5:22 AM | Permalink

What a run! Haha.. Oh wait.. These are all my first-3-months JC friends. We actually didn't run. LOL! We walked all the way from the start point to the end. Wahaha.. Not that we couldn't run, we just couldn't be bothered to! We even waited for the girls to catch up with us, since males and females starts at different timing. It was pure fun. Miss you guys!

Usual stuff for me today. Realised that we didn't have any OC tutorial lesson. Waste my time do the tutorial sia.. Oh well, at least I don't have to do any of those next week. Finished it man! Heh. Today's lab was quite simple, we simply constructed molecules of central metal and ligands thing. Aiya.. Very simple one, especially the post lab lor. And my group have finally completed 90% doing the OC! Now, it's just the compiling part left. Need to type out. zzz.

Let's talk about the Orientation Leader interview. Me, sharez, wei lian and pei shan went for it. Only that noobie Jeremy backed out. Oh well, at least I tried to sabo him! =) Poor wei lian actually stayed back for the thing, when she can drop out of it. Wahahha... I hope I wouldn't get chosen for that thing lor. Why? Because I haven't had a proper break since this semester started! The Global Citizenship to shang hai will take away some parts of the holiday liao lor. And there's a overnight camp, which I don't really like. Prefer to stay at home in my cosy little corner. I don't mind coming early and going back late, just to avoid that. The previous experience is just to traumatic! LOL! Excuses... Excuses.. Aiya.. At least hope one of these 3 dudes get in with me, if I ever got chosen. Otherwise, I mati le. Haha.. But being OL is also not bad lar, can open up your world more. Haha..

And eh... I just found out on MSN that Alex likes cutesy stuffs. For instance, the spongebob boxers. LOL! Just don't tell me more about it man... Don't wanna think or even that sort of thing exist. Tomorrow still got the adventure thing to go for. Must "bond" with my class. LOL! Aiya.. gotta do my OC now. *zooms off*

Oh yes! I finally got to sleep for 7 hours straight! It's been weeks, since I last did it. I do really need at least 10 hours to sleep lor. But thanks to all the projects, I get 2 dark rings. Kinda left the house late, and it was raining AGAIN! Piang! I got myself drenched, although I had an umbrella somehow. Must be cause I was protecting the new Timberland shoes that my mum bought for me. Didn't wanted it to get dirty lor! But no use. Still end up so dirty. Got a orientation leader interview tomorrow, but don't feel like going leh. I'll see what Pei Shan decides. If she no, then I no. Haha..

I finally did my homework! Wow! My first accomplishment after the term began. Haha.. Did practically all the homework that needs to be done by today. No more copying. Need to work harder now. Keep forgetting to do the World Issues quiz, and apply a Leave of Absent for next week. Got to go for the i-guide thing. You know the idiots who show kidies around the polytechinc. Why did I say yes? Dammit. Now, I got to miss a couple of lessons, and when i'm back, I'll be like this o.O

WHAM!

Well.. Well.. This is the very first time I actually forgot to blog for today, or should I say yesterday. Hahaha.. It's 1am, and im still trying to prepare my speech for my Ozone Layer Depletion presentation. Let's hope everything will go well tomorrow for our group!

Let's make this quick. This afternoon at 2pm met at Mac again, and 'completed' our thing at roughly 4pm+. Go home. Eat. Work. And that's it I guess. Sad case, eh? Sheeze. Looking forward to a new release of my game in France's. Hehe.. I'm ever so mysterious about what I play etc. Ciaos!

Oh yes! No more stupid meetings for CSAS! We have finally presented our project... Haiz.. One thing sad is that I screwed up on my part in the presentation.. I started off well, but then suddenly went blank. It was then all the problems came in. Total failure I should say. Must be due to my lack of preparation for the powerpoint, although I had helped the group compiled and stuffs like that.

Lesson Learnt: Let other team mates do this job, or you'll suffer yourself in the end.

Helped them score high with the group's score, thanks to the powerpoint. But as for the main individual component of the marking scheme, i did fairly badly. Luckily, I kinda got it back, when we had our q&a session. Hopefully, I can manage to get at least a pass for having long breaks, and looking at my cues SO many times. Bleh! Doing my dear little World Issues quiz now. Seriously, it's a pretty easy subject to do I think, except for the stupid powerpoint. Haha..

Projects Left:
- Organic Chemistry (Aldol Condensation)
- World Issues (Genetically Modified Food)
- Applied Mathematics (PBL: Statistics on Confidence Level & Central Limit Theorem)

*faints*

School as per normal. Dr Ong wanted me, Pei Shan, Sharez & Shaun to join the Orientation Leadership Camp, but I simply don't feel like! Haha.. Same with Pei Shan I guess. Oh well.. Let's see how the stupid interview goes.. Hehe.. I think I'll flunk it! Heh! =)

Another results for my PIPC subject is out! Yay! I topped the class for it by only 1/2 mark. Haha.. Trying to pouch another 1 mark now. This is the subject that I was worried initially. 60-70% of the cohort fail lor. Help! Somemore I didn't got the freakin' chance to complete my last question that worth 5 marks. (Paper worth 50 mark in total). Thanks again to my graph thing, that took me 30 minutes to do. Besides that I just noticed that I wrote Platinium as Lead for the stupid central metal thingy. Wrote Pb, and not Pt! Help! There goes another 1 mark. Foolish mistakes like this sucks. =.=

It's a brand new day tomorrow! It's a holiday! Yay! But got to meet my friends for my CSAS project on Wednesday. Don't know where to meet. In the end, it's the same old McDonald. Sheeze. Still ain't started for CDS project. Haiz. Better sleep early today. Nite nite!

8.30am. Woke up, grab a snack and rushed my way to TM's mcdonald to meet my team members at 10am, with my bulky lappie. What a rain I can say. My freaking new timberland shoes gets wet and dirty. Zzz.. Hopefully, it would really spoil the leather. Stupid shaun gives excuse that he had a diarrhea as usual. Result: Late for an hour. Gowri amazing first to appear today. Had a good breakfast with her. Zai Wei contributes not much. But overall, I can say that we have done alot for our CSAS project. Let's say it's definitely 85% completed. 15% will be the speech and stuff like that. Hmmm..

2pm. Finally, it was the end of the mind-boggling meeting. Still raining. Had to go back home, throw my lappie aside and get prepared for my AM meeting. Bleh! 30 minutes to eat lunch, rest and off I go again. Met Su Hua in MRT, and both of us reaches the orchard library first. Soon, Qian Ming and her boyfriend appears. Don't know who the hell was that at first, till the Alyo... dude says. Kai jie comes 1-hour late for meeting, "Standard" as Su Hua said. Don't be late any more hor! Haha.. Jeremy MIA again. Screw him lar. Let him fail his AM and see how he cry then. Everyone simply went blank, while doing the statistics thing. In the end, we did nothing much, and arranged another meeting after Qian Ming has asked her pro friend. Hahaha..

End of meeting. Went to eat at Breeks with Kai Jie and Su Hua, after some major decision of which resturant to makan. KJ ordered some chinese food thing, looks good; while Su Hua ate the baked chicken with chilli and lime. There goes her voice I guess.. Sure mati for CSAS formal presentation le.. Jkjk.. Hope ya recover soon! As for me, I ate a baked chicken with rosemary thing. Reminds me of the csas lab thing, where we had to pretend that we're making a stupid DIY perfume. Sheeze.

Let's say we talked lotsa crap doing our dinner, and each of us went home after checking out the Cystal Jade Kitchen for their bakery stuff. KJ must be hungry lor, bought a mango pastry. Hmmm.. After that, everyone just went home, and it was STILL raining. Piang! Thanks Su Hua for lending me her 10 bucks to top-up my ez-link. MUST remember to return the cash! That's all lor.. Trying to compile the two documents from Gowri and Yuan Long now for the CSAS project. How about my CDS presentation, which is on Tuesday? Die lor. =/

Woke up at 2pm today, and realised there's some sort of change of plans. Zzz.. Instead of heading towards Funan IT Mall, my family and I went to Chinatown to see fireworks and firecrackers. Let's say in the end, I only got to hear them, except the fireworks. Hahaha.. This is the second time I already see the fireworks in real life, not on the TV! Quite a fantastic sight you should say. I'm sooooooooo looking forward to the next fireworks thing in 2007! Man... What am I thinking? It's been only 8 days of 2006, and I'm already thinking of 2007.

There was a tiny weeny incident just now at Chinatown, where I got tripped over by a stupid little block of wood, which made me KNEEL in front of a store. What the toot! It was so damn embrassing.. Seriously have no idea where to hide my face then.

Bought some cny tibits and new cushions. You know the usual chinese things. Hope my grandpa wouldn't buy another whole bulk of $1 stuffs again. He just doesn't know how to be thrifty.

Oh well.. Trying to do the powerpoint for the morning meeting now for tomorrow. Dangit!

Holy crap! I'm finally free from all those stupid lessons and projects. Okay okay.. Just 2 days to enjoy only I know... But it's better than nothing lor. :)

Results for Organic Chemical (OC) are back! Yay! Still simply can't believe I have gotten 38.5 for OC, and a probabilty of additional 0.5 marks. Hmmm.. Luckily, synthesis 1/2 mark here and there. Otherwise, I'll mati by now. They are actually quite kind lor. Give you 1/2 mark for writing down the question itself for it.. Ahaha... As for Maths, let's say I have gotten a draw with top maths student, Wei Ming. Haha.. Not bad hor? I think Pei Shan is the best lor.. She can actually manage her work and studies so good.. I wonder how she do it de lor.. I bet she'll overtake the top student of last semester, Sharez. Wahahaha..

This Saturday, which is tomorrow lor, must go to Funan IT Mall buy the nortan anti-virus 2006 3 user package. Otherwise, the stupid thing will just keep popping up tell me to renew lor.. Then on Sunday, got CSAS and AM meeting lor. Stress sia.. Meet at 10am in TM, then go to Orchard library at 4pm. Sian. Projects stink.

Man, do I really need some good sleep now, having to sleep only from 2am-7am recently. *yawn* What have I been doing you might say? Hmm.. Some searches for a couple of php scripts for my virtual community fansite, which failed on me recently. Bleh!

And this site itself I guess? Have been trying to find means to pay the host etc.. It's really cheap, and good. One of the best deals in town I can say! Haha.. Thanks Freddy bro for lending me his cardie! If you want a subdomain, just let me know and I'll see what I can do. Really proud to see my very own .com site for my first-time blogging and so on. Need to really change some templates when I have time. I know this stinks. Just bear it with me!

Anyway, my OC assignment have finally took off yesterday. Our team did quite alot I think. But a couple of mistakes were spotted by a stupid friend of mine, Yuan Long. It's kinda a previledge to be the first to be named in this site hor? Haha.. Jobs to do now is basically to type all the mechanism out on the computer? Zzz...

Gonna meet at TM with my CSAS team mate this Sunday. Hopefully, they don't mind me being such an ass now, since the pressure is really on me. What do you expect when your presentation is on Wednesday, and you have only done 30%.

Let's talk about tests! Amazing Mr. Teong said that I have passed all my term test. What surprised me is already the PIPC one! I really didn't expect myself to pass, because I didn't really complete the last section compromising 17 marks out of 50 marks for the entire paper, and when 60-70% of the cohort failed that subject. Look's like Lady's Luck is on my side this time. Really got to work harder this semester, when the exams come...

RAWR!

This was actually the very first class outdoor trip to Pula Ubin, invited by our teacher. However, only 4 people turned up then sadly. It was fun and memorable, especially with that cool dog that followed us from inland to the shore. Haha.. Still can remember Su Hua screaming for help! LOL!
