Was thinking whether should I attend Computer Systems lecture today on my bed... finally reached the conclusion, I shall skipped it and go for Macro Economics lecture.

Sent a message to inform Sharon and Naydia to sign attendance for me. Don't wanna give a bad impression. heh.

Met Ivan at the school's overhead bridge and went to the lecture hall together. Today macro economics topic quite easy, able to understand it... Must admit that I am feeling much better today, not as moody as before.

Anyway, the night before, Naydia was asking me why am I so secretive about my stuff and blah blah blah. Frankly speaking, I am a very shy boy. I don't like others to know so much about me. In fact, I lied so much about myself, my race, my birth date, my country of origin, my sex etc. Naydia is a good friend indeed, she's very nice to others and care alot of others. Kudos to her.

Gosh, almose killed someone today. Was going through my econs work when my portfolio dropped from the 4th floor, missed a female student by a few inches. If it hit her or something, i gonna feel guilty for the rest of my life. That Han was like telling everyone about the freak accident, which I am not quite happy about. naw, enough of this.

Lecturer Jeannie was kinda cheerful today, unlike the previous lesson. The last lesson she was like scolding everyone. Anyway, today tutorial was kinda exciting as out of book examples were used.

Overslept on the bus today. Missed like 4 stops. Went Heartland Mall since I am not quite keen to go home early as I missed a chinese drama. Was at Cold Storage doing my marketing stuff. Don't know what happened to me, starting to behaving like a "family man".



1. Lays Potato chip (Tomato and herbs favour) - didn't try this before.
2. Milano Cookies (Chocolate) - This rocks, totally.
3. Sara Cake (Chocolate) - Chocolate pound cake, yummy.

As you can see, I bought some stuff for my mom, Bean sprout and fish cake. Been doing marketing for my mom since I am in grade 6. I make a good husband eh?

Currently doing my IISO project with Jay's music in the background. Be back tomorrow. :)

Rushed my business accounting tutorial work this morning. Didn't manage to complete it, got to cancel my lunch with Ivan. Naydia told me the tutorial starts at 2pm, good thing I checked my timetable, it starts at 1pm.... zzz

Business Accounting Tutorial was a breeze. 2 Hours passed quickly.

During Internet and Information Systems in Organisations lab lesson, managed to complete my AFD (Activity flow diagram). Now left with my IFD (Information flow diagram) and reflection before I can relax. Hmmm...on second thoughts, should be after my Macro Economics portfolio, Communication skills presentation and IISO presentation.

Quite a moody day for me. Been feeling like this the past 2 weeks. It has been years since I behave like this... on my god, a second puberty? naw.

Right now, going to do my IISO stuff and waiting for "Smallville" to start. Couldn't do my econs as I skipped the lecture last week due to sickness.

adios.

September 28, 2003

Slept quite late yesterday as I was having a conference chat with Jesslyn and Ivan. Helped Jesslyn with her internet and chatted till 4am. Manage to wake up at 11am though.

Went Sim Lim Square at around 1pm after having my daily dose of English Tea. Scouted around for the hard disk (read: Computer busted - 27 Sep 2003). Also bought 10 CDRs... Been running low on stock for CDRs after my coursemates asked me to "burn" software for them...

After my Sim Lim trip, went Heartland mall for marketing. Bought Walls Delights Green Tea ice cream after being tempted by Ivan the day before. Also, bought milk, green tea bags and ready-to-eat lemon grass chicken from Cold Storage. yummy. Gonna give myself a treat tonight with ice cream.

Reached home and started fixing the computer. All my sisters were back, so chatted with them while doing my stuff. My computer was up after 1 hour, excluding 2 hours to restore all my data... zzz.

Right now typing my blog with a cup of green tea beside me. Classical music in the background, soothing my wounded soul.

Anyway, just something to add on. Sad to find out most of my peers seem nonchalant on issues pertaining to current affairs. It's sad to see our generation degrading to such state. Speaking of this reminds me of Malaysia-Singapore issue on Point 20... shouldn't bother explaining...

Going to do my business accounting lecture. farewell.

September 27, 2003

Slacked whole day. feeling apathetic.

Woke up at 11am. While on my bed, have a chat with adeline on MSN Messenger... and i fell asleep half way through... and woke up at 2pm..

The whole afternoon was spent chatting with Ivan + game online. Mayvis messenged me, asking me to choose a color for the color of the shirt which we will be wearing for presentation. Either red or blue... Being a walking hongbao (a.k.a. red packet) doesn't sound exciting to me, so selected blue. She also ask me to wear a blazer... I was like, "What the hell?". It's not like i am a businessman or what. So I just tell her i am not wearing it.

Guess I have to shop for formal clothes next week at Robinson, G2000 or Mentos. sigh.

Oh good, my computer got busted. Was playing around with Norton Anti Virus 2004. Restarted, and my computer refuse to boot into Windows XP. Tried doing a repair using the Windows XP disc, but to no avail. I could format the whole darn thing, but got some important documents. Gonna get a new hard disk tomorrow, 120GB Hitachi hard disk. More $$ disappearing. zzz

Right now drinking a pipping hot cup of apple infused tea from "Muji". Bought it quite some time from the Muji store at Bugis.... Finished my green tea, so have to drink this.

That's all for today. Back to my work.

Moody.

About to go to school when Tian Nee messaged me and ask me to sign attendance for Ivan, Chris, Jesslyn and her. oh great. not again.

Internet and Information System in Organisations lecture as relaxing as usual. Personally, I feels that Lecturer Tan CC is great. Her way of teaching in a relaxing environment allows my brain to work in sync. Sadly, she's leaving us next week, will be missing her badly. At the end of the lecture, she told us she's born in New Zealand and about her university life. No wonder she doesn't look local with her red rosy cheek. Sigh.

Was feeling quite moody today. Maybe it's started by the bunch of girls in my class. Seriously, do they thrive on lame jokes and insulting others? I don't know why, but this girl with S in her christian name has been getting on my nerve ever since wednesday. I don't give a damn if she elder than me in term of age, if I can't take it anymore, I will simply burst it out. I care no more.

And this girl with M in her christian name. When will she ever mature? Almost all her jokes aren't funny. I was like concentrating on my Communication skills project, and she insist I pass the laptop to her (it doesn't even belong to her) for her to play games and shit stuff. HELLO? I am doing important stuff?

ok, feeling much better after letting it go. Such agony.

After my last lecture - Computer Systems, went for a movie with Ivan. Second movie with him this week. heh.

Went Century Square to look at the movie timing for "28 days later", it was like 2.5 hours before the show start. So we make a mad rush to Tampines Square to catch the 4.30pm show. Reached the cinema at 4.40pm, goodness gracious, the show haven't start but with the advertisements running.

"28 Days later" is a nice show. But it is filmed on digital video, perhaps this is why the screen seems blurred with grain. Check out the review here. The ending is rather ambiguous from my point of view.

Right now, listening to "Cavatina" found in the CD "The Very Best Of Relaxing Classics" ... seriously, I need to relax and stop being tensed.

September 25, 2003

Late for my Internet and Information System in Organisations tutorial... zzz

Anyway, the tutorial was quite relaxing. Completed the homework the previous night, so just hand in and resume my own personal stuff.

After tutorial, had a game of badminton with my mates. All 3 experts and 1 noob. well, the noob is me. Real tired after the end of the game. Must make full use of the bathroom in the school. Really refreshing after all the workout.

Went my female friend house to repair her computer after school. oh man, this is the first time I visit a girl house.

Didn't enter her room since the computer belongs to the brother, well, i have no desire to enter her room anyway. The brother sure have a messy room. CDs all over the room, hardwares etc. Well, I couldn't solve it, cos' the computer hardwares are failing.

Was chatting/watching cable television when her mom came back from work. I was like, shit. what will her mother thinks? A guy and a gal with the door closed? I could almost see jack's ripper. ok, blame me for being conservative or what, but I never have experience of such kind.

So we went out the room, saw the mom in the kitchen, and she just said, "My friend is here to repair the computer." As simple as that. I started to panic, and say some shit, "oh ya, i can't repair the computer cos the blah blah blah". My friend behave coolly and said, "you don't have to explain to her."

During dinner at home, my dad discussed with me which cars he is interested in. oh boy, how excited am i. Although the existing car still serve the family faithfully, but Singapore has a policy which requires you to scrap the car after ten years unless you bribe the Government or something(ok, this is bullshit, but you need to extend the COE a.k.a. Certificate of Entitlement"). Currently, the cars of my dad's interests are the Toyota Corolla and Toyota Vios.




That's all for today. Gonna do some light studying.
Missed my daily input of blog due to the insane rush of homework and project...

So right now I am in school attending my morning tutorial and typing my blog at the same time.

Yesterday lecture was quite irritated. Some dimwits tried snap my photo using those camera handphone. Impressive to them, but not to me. I hate people who snap my photo using those handphone without permission. Annoying and idiotic action of theirs really spoil my day.

Watched "Hollywood Homicide" with Ivan yesterday. Actually wanted to watch "28 days later" but, Ivan seems determined. Shouldn't force him anyway. Nice show, infused with comedy and action. Some parts of the movie is real funny.

Rushed my Internet and Information Systems in Organisations project and tutorial work yesterday. "Charmed" and "CSI" serials really take my attention away from my work. "CSI" is a nice show, after playing the CSI PC game, really fell in love with it.

okie, back to my tutorial class. Be adding entry at home.

Sick. Fatigued.

Have some serious stomach upset this morning. Due to this, missed my lectures. Gosh, my first time not attending lectures and tutorial.

Went to my family clinic at 1pm... Guess what, the clinic is closed for lunch. Have to take a bus down to the nearest shopping mall and waste my time there.

The doc diagnosed that I am suffering from food poisoning. darn, must be food from pizza hut. Spent 24 bucks on medicine. Got a Medical Certificate to cover my absent from lessons.

Actually wanted to give Macro Economics a miss, but due to the fact that I flunked this subject, I will feel guilty if i miss it.

The mood of Miss Yang today in macro economics tutorial was quite solemn. Think we guys are too rowdy. She must have been disappointed that almost three quarter of the class flunked the paper and we are not being serious in our work.

When Miss Yang praised Han and me that both of us put in effort in our studies, the more guilty i feel. I flunked her paper, what effort can I be proud of?

After tutorial, went for a briefing on some changes in the academic system... whether changes they make, just hope i can pass all my subjects. Went Tampines Mall to get some breads from breadtalk. Got a free cake after buying 5 pieces of bread. Gee, make a good breakfast for me tomorrow.

Right now in front of my TV watching True Files and typing on my laptop at the same time.

So long, goodbye.
Long tiring day. You are forwarned, a long blog ahead.

Woke up at 7.30am... wanted to take a shower, but when walking down from my bedroom, the sofa in my living room seems to be waving at me. Ended up having my bathe at 8am. Couldn't blame me, as I only have 4 hours of sleep after rushing through my presentation slides.

After having a cold shower (ooo...refreshing), rushed to do some last minute changes to my presentation. Went to my bedroom to change and to style my hair, and guess what... the whole jar of hair wax dropped on to the floor... Got to waste my time cleaning off the goo... yucks.

Took a cab and rushed to school. Helped Chan Hui with his presentation slides, and that Faith was copying blindly from my own slides, word by word.... zzzz.

Overall, I find myself very satisfied with the presentation and proposal write up. Lecturer Richard comments do really cheer me up... The effort put in didn't go to waste...

Almost lose my temper during break after some dude try to advertise my blog to everyone... zzz. I don't mind the advertising, but not mass advertisement... Must admit that I lose my temper easily when I am, hunger, tired (4 hours of sleep?) or irritated.

Went Pizza hut with Tian Nee, the girl with Tian Nee, Ivan, Peter and Su Wee a.k.a. Chris to celebrate Tian Nee's birthday. Actually don't feel like eating Pizza Hut, but since it's the birthday girl decision, I kept my preference to myself.

Don't know why, but I became their centre of attention. I was being stared like an alien when I use the fork and knife to eat my food... I mean, I was trained since young to use fork and knife, you can't possible blame me for that yea?

I was interrogated and totured by them to reveal what kind of girls i like. I was like, WTF?
Apparently the description of girl with shoulder length hair and without glasses give them the impression I like Tian Nee.. zzz . Actually, the description was of a girl I like when I was in year three of my secondary school. ok, enough of sidelining, back to topic.

They went for a game of pool, which left me so damn bored. Left the place at 10pm and took a bus home. Overslept by 2 stops, and have to cross over and take the bus back.

Listening to Ono Lisa's french album while trying to do my macro economics.

Back to work now.

September 21, 2003

Another rainy day.

Outta bed at 1pm... lunch was ready by then.

Spent the afternoon chatting with Ivan, troubleshooting my friend's computer and engaging in a game of Frozen Throne with Ivan. Don't know why, but i always feel inferior playing with him...


Started on my presentation slides in the late afternoon... Yesmeen was kind enough to help me read through the proposal and correct some mistakes.

Went for a haircut at around 8pm, don't really want to go, but i don't want to end up looking like a caveman with my untidy hair...

Right now, I am doing my presentation slides with a cup of green tea beside me to keep me going. Ahh... with the mellow voice of Ono Lisa (read: Bossa Nova Singer), it is the prefect environment to study.

Back to work.... zzz
ok, this is nuts. totally.

Reporting live from my bed. Been doing this project since 11pm... and now, its 3.45am... 4 Hours of non stop madness.

Internet benchmark, memory benchmark graph, presentation, OMG. I am getting real sick of it now.

I giving up. 1 more slide, and I going to sleep. The bed is waving to me... I really need to veges out...

Now listening to More to Life by Stacie Orrico and Xiang Zuo Zou Xiang you zou by Gigi Leung (Theme Song: Turn Left Turn Right) to destress.

AGGRH, back to work. so long, goodbye.

September 20, 2003

Boring day.

Was out of the bed at 1pm. Been drizzling since morning, felt so cosy to be in bed during rainy weather.

Have korean ramen for lunch. Doesn't taste as good as the previous brand. yucks. The soup base just too plain for my liking.

Was on the computer playing games till 9pm. Wanted to do my project presentation, but just can't concentrate on it, although i am only left with 1 day to do everything.

Took a shower to refresh myself and guess what, my mom is cooking some Hainanese (read: Hainan island) dessert now. Yummy. Some flour stuff with "gula melaka" (a kind of hardened sugar).

Going to do my project after devouring the dessert.
Just completed the Computer Systems project... Thought I could relax but apparently someone in my group handed in a sub-standard work, now I have to do his share... and also the presentation slides...

Reached home at around 8.30pm after staying in school late with 2 "nice" ladies. Gee... they ought to treat me dinner
for accompanying them... heh. So was walking toward the interchange, and this lady from DBS Bank come and have a
small talk with me... ask me to apply for those save-till-you-become-poorer plan thingy. She was like tempting me with those freebies (handphone, LCD monitor etc), but my will is strong. haha.

Have a chat with Adeline, she's sad about some events revolving around her in school, hope i could help lessen her
burden, but rather limited on what i can help... promised to watch movie with her after both her and mine exams ended,
which will be like november?

So that's it, still brainstorming on the project on my bed... woot, long way to go...
