Suppose to study with Boss and Ivan for business accounting. Oh well, both wanted to study at different location and me, have to decide on either one of their choices. Spent almost 1 hour on choosing the location. Rather study at home in this case, told them maybe not going and parted the chat. Back to square one, any problem just message Boss.

Trying to resist any temptation. Switched off the air con to prevent myself from falling asleep. Left the door wide opened so that my family members can check on me. Switched MSN Messenger on my desktop instead of my laptop to stop myself from chatting. Well, my laptop is still on my study desk, that's why I can type my blog.

After staying up late for this week, my ageing process has accelerated. My skin started to sag, I became much thinner (even after the late night supper), my back arched, my face wrinkled and grow sores, my head almost balding and hair growing all over my face. I am becoming a caveman... oh no, I am going crazy.

Listening to a Mozart piece, Requiem with all the business accounting stuff whizzing in my mind - Accrued revenue and expense, prepaid expense, unearned revenue, provision for doubtful debt, depreciation and control account. Used to be my favourite subject, now it seems to be so alien to me...

Watched anime to relax myself... In the anime, there's this girl who manipulate this guy using love as a medium. I feel sad for him at the same time, annoyed by the girl's action. Does this happen in real life? If it does, then true love must be precious. Silly me, getting touchy over an anime.

Ahh... the wonders of friendster. My friend added me even though we seldom contact each another since 4 years ago. Think at that time she doesn't have a good impression of me... Quite naughty when I was young.

How I look forward to my birthday and Christmas. Sigh. Back to my studies for now.

October 30, 2003

Cool, 3 days left and I just started on my revision on Business Accounting. Not to mention I need the other 2 days for my IISO and CMSY. Read through the accounting notes yesterday, everything seems so easy during lectures and tutorials, now all the topics lumped together, it looks so alien to me...

Was reading The Straits Times, noticed there's a Orchestra concert at the Esplanade. It's the Charles Dutoit and Akiko Suwanai with The UBS Verbier Festival Youth Orchestra. It's founded by UBS (Union Bank of Switzerland). Well, it's next week after my exams, should I or should I not?

Went through the business accounting past year paper. Completed the MCQs, quite ok, just 2 or 3 questions which I can't figure out... Thanks to Boss, he helped me in solving it through MSN Messenger... helpful fella yea?

Thinking whether to go back school to study tomorrow. Was asked by my friend to go back to teach her CMSY... Haven't even started my revision on this subject, how am I going to teach others? Let's just see whether can I wake up tomorrow.

October 29, 2003

Studied for 2 hours and couldn't concentrate anymore. The economics theories are killing me... So many stuff to remember....

Was in the midst of my study when my friend messege me asking me whether I want to study together with the old gang at the Airport. Sounds great, but the idea of leaving the comfort of my bed some how put me off. Told him I will message him if I am going... and from here, I fall asleep...zzz.

Study time again.

October 28, 2003

Rainy weather, what a wonderful time to sleep till the late afternoon, alas, I have to study for my exams.

It sudden comes to my mind that, Monday is actually the last day of school, might not be able to see my fellow classmates during the examinations period. From July until now, it's already 4 months. We might not be together in the next sem, so saddening.

Replaced the background music to Xi Shui Chang Liu, it's a chinese song about friendship.

Received a call from Call Search (1900-777-7777). They giving me free membership cos' I been using their service regularly. Wierd. But since its free, who cares?

Quite productive today, went through quite a few topics in Econs, might be able to complete it by tonight.

Looking forward to a class gathering at GV Plaza next friday. Watching Matrix Marathon at Golden Village, they are showing "The Matrix", "Matrix Reload" and "Matrix Revolution". From 11.30pm to next day 6am.... cool eh?

October 27, 2003

Late late late and late again. Was late for my Econs revision lecture as I slept at 4am in the morning. Rushed to school, but decided not to enter the lecture hall, just don't dare to enter cos' I am alone and there will be so many pair of eyes staring at me once I enter the hall.

Was studying outside the lecture hall when AC, Michelle and Peter came. Entered the hall together with them, at least there's 3 of us together. Happened to see this girl which I know outside Poly. She changed quite a lot, more attractive in my opinion. Anyway, she's from Law and Management.

Went through Inflation and Exchange rate today. Thanks to Han for lending me his notes to copy for the part where I missed. Anyway, borrowed IISO notes from my friend to photocopy, just too plain lazy to print the notes at home.

Studied at the sofa area at the staff level. It's quite cramp over there, can't believe that Peter went to push the sofa from some faraway place. Just hope that no one notice us and report or something.

Couldn't concentrate much while studying in school. Maybe that's due to the fact that I didn't check my mail this morning as I am rushing to school. Always feel strange when I didn't check my mail. Left the school when my friends decided they have enough for the day.

Went Tampines Mall with the usual peeps, Tian Nee, Jesslyn and Ivan. Ivan bought a new pair of Converse shoes, the design is cool, love the cloth texture. Very tempting....

"Tea break" was at PastaMania. Ordered the Bacon Aglio, Ivan ordered the Marinaia or somthing like this while the 2 girls ordered Tiramisu. Did something silly over there. I took one of the pocket menu and grade the food which I ate, so next time when I'm back, I will know what's nice and yucks.

Seriously need to revise the way I spend "my" money. Well, it's not exactly my money, I don't receive monthly allowance unlike most of my peers, I shares a joint account with my parents. I been spending quite a lot recently, maybe I should do some financial planning. Speaking of finanical planning, I think Temasek Polytechinc offers a subject on this. Maybe I should go check it out after my examinations.

Changed the background music to play only once instead of looping as one of my reader finds the music "ugly". Colorful expression, isn't it? haha. A little clue on who she is, she's a mushroom.

Didn't hold my camera for quite a while ever since I entered Polytechnic. Maybe I will go Orchard during the Dec to snap at those colorful lightings. Somehow, I always love December. Not because it's a school holiday, I just couldn't give an explaination for this feeling. It's the month when I met her. Well, there's more, but don't want to reveal so much about myself. I am kinda secretive yea?

Listening to Han's online radio. He makes quite a fine DJ. Maybe he should join Mass Comm, who knows? Maybe he might be the next Glenn Ong in making.

Just something interesting to share with everyone reading my blog. Next time, don't pronounce can't as erm, the way singaporean pronounce it. If your boss is an american, he's gonna laugh his head off. We pronounce it as "cunt", and you know the meaning is.... well, go check it out yourself. The correct way should be "can" with a silent "T" behind.

Gonna study for my econs. So long, goodbye.

October 26, 2003

Started watching anime on my bed the moment I woke up. One good thing about a laptop, portability. Don't know what's wrong with Kaaza, downloading speed was so slow. Must be RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America).

It's a boring sunday, worsen by the approaching examinations. Somehow, I have a feeling I won't be doing well for it. Wanted to study in the late afternoon, but got a headache, so watched anime instead of studying.

Pancakes, yummy. After watching anime, went down to my kitchen and started making pancakes. Filling for the pancakes are mashed banana. How heavenly.

Went back to my room and the headache is back again. Decided to take a short nap which turn up to be 3 hours. It was already 9.30pm when I woke up. At least I am feeling better now. Have a quick dinner and went to bath soon after.

Really need to study, muted my laptop sound and ignoring my handphone alerts. Nothing can disturb me now, will check my ICQ, MSN Messenger and IRC when I am free.

Listening to classical pieces by Fredric Chopin now. I like the Prelude in E Minor Opus 28 No. 4 most. Here’s what I think about this piece. A fake sense of happiness in the melody of sadness is portrayed through the almost identical notes. It evokes a sense of self consciousness in the listener (me).
Forced myself up to go back school for IISO and CMSY revision. Well, not much of a revision, just going through the exams format and some important chapters. Was late, so attended only 10min of IISO before going for breakfast with the class.

After CMSY lecture, Richard actually chatted with my class! Well, he worked in NSC before embarking on a teaching job. He doesn't have a good impression on the BIT cohort though. Said we lack discipline or something like this.

Was pulled away from the lecture hall by Boss and Jesslyn, they can't stand Richard I suppose. Anyway, Jesslyn left early due to some appointment. So there's Tian Nee, Boss and Me. So on our way to Tampines Mall for lunch, we took the same bus as the gang of Michell and Han. HAHA!, Sharon get caught for attempting to take a free ride on the bus. Wee, majority of the class going to play LAN games at Hougang. Wanted to join them, but couldn't bring myself to abandon Tian Nee and Boss. I am afterall, a very loyal friend.

Lunch was at Pizza Hut. As usual, Boss as at his "so generous" self. He treated us Pizza hut, couldn't decline his offer cos' I do not have ready cash, unless I use my plastic.

Parted way with Tian Nee as she's on her way to meet her friend. So Boss and me roams about Tampines Mall and Century square. We went scouting for my MD recorders and his earphones. Finally he settled for the earphones over at Challenger.

Been troubled by family problem since last week. Though this doesn't really concern me, but as a brother, I am affected in a way or so. This is something so serious that I can't even tell my closest friend. Let's hope I can fully concentrate on my exams for now. I pray to God to protect my family from harm and let this ordeal be over as quick as possible. amen.

October 24, 2003

Left my desktop and laptop on for the whole night after falling asleep right in front of my laptop. Gosh, wake up at 8am and switched off everything.

Unproductive day for me. Didn't do much studying. Went out in the afternoon to Clementi to pass stuff to someone. On the trip toward there, saw Han's secondary school. Kinda big.

Took long bus trip down to Sim Lim after that. Scouting around for MD recorders' price and window shopping on computer parts. Feel kinda wierd leaving the place without buying anything. Going to get my MD recorder next month after saving enough money.

Bought myself a Billabong T shirt. Oh my, the queue was so LONG... Spent almost 10 min waiting to pay up for my t shirt. Went Cold Storage to get myself a pancake mix, gonna make pancakes, yummy. Let's hope the maple syrup at home is still usable.

Just receive an international call on my handphone. At first, I thought it's my relatives from Hong Kong SAR, but checked the country code just now, it's +81, which belongs to Japan. Who can that be? Strange.

Going to do some reading on my macro economics now.

October 23, 2003

Was thinking of whether to attend for the replacement lesson for Business Accounting today since I didn't turn up due to project on monday. Finally make up my mind not to attend, since my attendance has always been full, one absent won't do much harm. So I was happily going around the lab poking at everyone's computers when Faith asked me to join her for Business Accounting. Well, how can I reject a girl's request?

Today class and my actual class have so much differences. Mrs Tong treated them better than our class! Well, since today is the last lesson, shouldn't complain anymore about her.

Went for a quick lunch with Faith after Business Accounting. Need to rush for Computer Systems tutorial after lunch, turn up 10 min late. Richard Lim doesn't appear to be in a good mood. His expression after Tian Nee plugged out the projector was so CUTE! Those kind of expression when you are pissed off and still trying to laugh. Should have bring a camera to capture that moment.

Seriously, I don't know why does people think that you are busybody when you are seriously concern for someone. Something bad happened to my friend's loved one. I treated her more than a friend, she sort of like a elder sister to everyone. When I asked my friends why she leave early during the Computer Systems tutorial, they give me those "mind your own business" expression. Anyway, she told me what happened. I wish her loved one a speedy recovery and good health.

Was on the way home with Ivan when we talked about some stuff. If I am the one who is causing the misunderstanding, I am really sorry, but I am not. Well, those who know what I am speaking should understand. Nothing much to explain about.

Just finished the apple strudel I bought with Ivan after we went for a short window shopping at Century Square and Tampines Mall.

okie, gonna stop here for my dinner.

Shall continue tomorrow, holiday, wee~
Just to mark my presence from Silicon Lab in Temasek Polytechnic.

Completed Activity Flow Disgram and Information Flow Diagram, nothing much to do now. Surfing the internet for mini disc recorder.

Should I go for Business Acconuting or should I not? Hmmm....

Strong and carefree I seems to be, but vulnerable and troubled I am.

Any song from "Bread" describing what I am feeling now.


Lost Without Your Love by David Gates,

Lost and all alone.
I always thought that I could make it on my own.
But since you left I hardly make it thought the day.
My tears get in the way, and I need you back to stay.

I wonder through the night
Search the world for the words to make it right.
All I want is the way it used to be
with you here holding me.
I've got to make you see,
that I'm lost with out your love.
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of.
I'm as helpless as a ship without a wind,
a touch without a feel
I can't believe its real
and someday I'll wake and find my heart won't have to break.

Yes, I'm lost with out your love.
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of.
All I want is the way it used to be
I need you here with me.
Oh darling can't you see,
If we had love before we can have it back once more..

October 22, 2003

Didn't study much for this week, must stop going out from this week. Mug, mug and more mugging.

Business Accounting lecture, went through last year paper, understand the subject well, just to memorize the formatting and stuff. Was talking while listening to the lecture, feeling kinda guilty.

I think that I am a good "multi tasker". Since young, I have been doing my studies in front of the TV. I can study for my exams with music (not loud music of course, classical music is my choice). I can do my homework while thinking about other stuff. Just making full use of my brain. heh.

Went dinner with Jesslyn. Chris, Ivan and Tian Nee at Kenny Rogers. Was totured badly by Chris with his never ending crap. He's a joker, haha.

Went window shopping after that. Both Ivan and Chris got a matching polo tee, how loving. heh.

The gang was chatting happily, but I wish I could go home and continue my studies... and they just go on and on, finally, they ended their chatting...

Watching Charmed now, going to bath after this and continue CSI.

October 21, 2003

Late again. Just can't bring myself to go and bath. Thanks God that Ivan woke up earlier than me (Surprising?) and helped me to sign my attandance for CMSY lecture. Gee... today Macro economics lecture was damn boring, the teacher sounds so mono, almost fall asleep if I don't have my abundance supply of sweets.

Went for some exercise with my course mates. Don't know what's Faith and Nur are up to, they actually hit the squash ball and it went *poof* disappeared. $3.50 gone just to replace it and they found out they actually do not have to buy a new one. haha.

Was "ping pong-ing" with Han, Nadia and Nur. My first time playing it, Han is a great mentor, now I know how to handle the ball and stuff. He's paitent enough to waste his time on me, he simply rocks.

Went to bath after 1 hour of ping pong, the feeling of the cold water against my hot body feels so great, on cloud nine. oh man, what am I talking about?

Macro economics tutorial was fun, learn quite a lot of stuff. Jeannie is a good teacher, love her so much. Everyone was so excited to learn new stuff, like me.

haha, I just knew it. Sharon and Alan are an item. At first don't believe our source, until now, haha.

Parted way with Tian Nee at the Bus interchange. Was feeling kinda low, so I went to eat. Chicken pita kabab? Hope I got it right. Doesn't taste as nice as the one I bought from Geylang Seri, woah, that was 4 years ago. Even the security guard was against me, went Courts to take a look at computers with Milo from Mcdonald in my hand. "Hello, you are not suppose to bring drink here". Damn it. I give him a look, and say, I going off soon. Continue with my viewing and left.

Suffering from depression now. Going to eat my nuts.

October 20, 2003

Was almost 1 hour late for today CMSY lab lesson. Called my group members, turn up Faith was late too. So waited for her and went in together. Didn't know this could invite some gossip from my classmates. oh well.

Lunch was at School of Design with Nur and Faith. The black pepper steak taste real good, even better than the School of Business. The serving was too little though. Couldn't understand what's wrong with Boss. He could just take the model and load it up the cab alone, why does it need all of us to be there? What a waste of time.

Skipped Business Accounting tutorial to do the final touchup to the model. Seriously, given a chance, I won't skip the tutorial. I rather attend it now and forget about everything, now I have to attend either the wednesday or thursday lesson.

Han's group model is impressive and good. Think they could score an A. Han is really a born leader. Any group with him will surely do well, just take a look at his communication skills group. Speaking of the presentation, I have nothing much to say. I didn't perform well, I can't find anything to talk about. Everything was in a mess, Boss don't want to follow the cue we given him, there's so much thing I can bitch about, but I am not any good too.

Frankly speaking, I am quite angry at Boss. Firstly, he threaten not to bring the model and let us fail if no one is helping him. Oh well, what can I say? During the presentation, he didn't do what he's suppose to do. He still has the gut to tell me he's nervous. That's it, I am going to flunk this subject.

Weren't in a good mood. Went Tampines Mall to buy audio CD. Sadly, American Wedding soundtracks were sold out, left with 2 choices. David Gates (Member of "Bread") - A lifetime of music and Clay Aiken. In the end, I decided to buy David Gates.

On my way home, bought Apple Strudel to treat my depression.

No more presentation, now only left with my exams. Will start mugging this friday.

Today gossip bring up something for me to ponder. What will my life be in the next 10 years? Most properly a bachelor, slogging away to support myself. Even though my dad will be making me the co owner of the house after my 21st birthday, I still have to fork out the huge property tax, which is a killer. Maybe I adopt a child. The life of a bachelor. I don't deserve to have a girlfriend or a wife. I am too egoistic.

A song dedicated to myself, It don't matter to me by David Gates (Playing in the background),

It don't matter to me
If you really feel that
You need sometime to be free
Time to go out searching for yourself
Hoping to find time to go to find

And it don't matter to me
If you take up with someone
Who's better than me
'Cause your happiness is all I want
For you to find peace your piece of mind

Lotta people have an eager hang up
'Cause they want to be the only one
How many came before it really doesn't matter
Just as long as you're the last
Everybody's moving on and try to find out
What's been missing in the past

And it don't matter to me
If your searching brings you back together with me
'Cause there'll always be
An empty room waiting for you
An open heart waiting for you
Time is on my side
'Cause it don't matter to me
It don't matter to me....

October 19, 2003

AGGRH. Unlucky day for me. This is what happen when you go out during a sunday which is a family day for me.

Went Tampines Mall to meet up with my IISO gang to do our project... Well, was late as usual. Debated on where to have lunch, ended up having lunch at Long John Silver. Boss was treating everyone lunch, but declined his offer.

After lunch, we went Shop n' Save to buy snack to bring over to his house so we can have something to munch on. Ok, here come the bad luck, was queuing up for the bus at the interchange. I put my hand against the metal railing to sort of support my body, then I felt something slimy, I take a look, YUCKS! It's some blackish white substance, good thing I always carry my alcohol (Alcohol kills virus, bacteria, germs) wet tissue. Enough of this shit, yucks.

Over at Boss' house, we are sort of slacking, kinda lazy to do the model. We took like half an hour of break for every 20min of work done. Everyone was waiting to use Boss' internet either for blogging and friendster, haha. We also watched cable television, "What's your line?" is so cool!

Finally we completed the model (not really, joining the whole boxes tomorrow) at around 7pm. Took a bus down to Tampines Mall with Rabi’ah, however, we went separate way after reaching the interchange. Went supermarket to get titbit. Oh my way home, I also bought 2 chicken pies from Polar Cafe. The puffs and pies over at Polar Cafe are delicious! My mom always bought those for me when I was a young kid. oh well, what sweet memories.

Reached home, oh kinda happy to see the stuffs my sister got for me from Australia. A Timberland T-shirt, toasted marshmallow, Cognac XO and stuffs. Next week will have more goodies after my another sister is back from Shanghai. But seriously, I don't think there's anything nice which Shanghai is famous for.

Let's hope my polytechnic class will have a class chalet during the holiday since this year we won't be seeing each others. sigh.

October 18, 2003

Suddenly, everyone have their own blog. Exciting to know what's happening in their life. Although after the exams in Nov, we might not be in the same class for the next sem, I can still know what's going on through their blog.

Woke up quite late today, guess after the communication skills presentation and the fact that I am not working this weekend make me plain lazy to get up. Spent a while trying to install the Gallery PHP script on my website, but my hosting company kinda screw up the settings, preventing it from working. oh well, going to scout for a new hosting company soon.

The friendster seems to be lagging badly. I didn't receive any email alert for new testimonials, but when I log in, I can see 2 new testimonials.

Wanted to go Sim Lim Square to do some shopping, but I am just plain lazy, especially with my wierd hairdo. So spent my afternoon watching "Matrix Reloaded" and fell asleep after that.

Woke up at 9.30pm, grab a dinner and right now, typing my blog. Can't sleep too late today, gonna meet my group to do the model for IISO tomorrow at Boss' house. oh well, good ol' sunday wasted. Gonna miss my sisters when they are back. Thought I could see what stuff did my sister got for me from Australia.

Going to bath now.

October 17, 2003

The day has come, for my presentation. Well, didn't really put in any effort for the preparation, who's care anyway?

Dressed up today in my blue shirt, dark grey pants and black leather shoes and set off to school. Waxed my hair heavily, it's sucks.

Met my coursemates outside the lecture hall, everyone was like so stunned to see my new hairstyle... So after the IISO lecture and printing of the trans, my group set off to have a trial presentation... boy, was I nervous.

So finally, the time has come... Sharon, Yesmeen and Mayvis gave a superb speech, but boss, willy and me are kinda sucky. During my turn, my voice was quite ok, loud enough, that Mrs Cheng also told me that, but I don't have much eye contact with the audience. Boss and Willy have some serious stage fright, they speak softly and didn't really follow their notes. But overall, Mayvis was able to help us by defending us from the cunning group of Han, wahahaha.

Although I flunked my communication skills summartive (whatever) test, I hope my group's report will help me pass this, else, i gonna commit sucide. As a matter of fact, my group is the top scorer in the class.

YEAH! Presentation over. Everyone was so excited, we went on a photo taking spree, 30 over pictures, haha. Faith dressed like a lawyer, everyone was talking about her, thought she will remove her hairband for today, sadly, she didn't.

After CMSY lecture, we have the whole lecture hall for ourselves. Took lots of pictures inside there. Everyone was so excited and so different in their formal wear, that includes me.

After reaching home, wanted to watch "Matrix reloaded" but my mom forced me to join her for marketing. No choice, have to follow her. Bought snacks to pass the weekend, let's see, White grape juice with aloe vera, car magazine, hey wait, that's not a snack, oh well.

After reaching home, found lots of messages waiting for today's photos, going to be busy.

ta ta. Now left with my last presentation - IISO.

October 16, 2003

Disastrous. Now I look like an complete idiot. Shall talk about this in the later part of my blog.

We are suppose to meet at 9.30am to discuss on the presentation, thanks to Sharon, who woke up at 9.30am sharp, the meeting is in a mess.

IISO tutorial as usual, free and easy. The girls have proven a theory which has make me pondered on for ages, that is, girls love to gossip. haha, no offence. But let's just see, I told Sharon about my blog -> leaked to Michelle, Noi and Mayvis. This is even better than internet. haha

So my secret blog has became a public blog, not that I mind, but I can't complain about them in my blog anymore. heh heh.

Lunch was at School of Design. Their canteen kinda small, but the food is great. Rushed my CMSY homework over there and at the sports hall. Managed to complete it and print it at one of the business lab.

No one paying any attention to Richard, our tutor for CMSY. He's quite ok, don't know why so many peeps dislike him.

Was suppose to collect and hand in the macro economics assignment before 5, but Faith was doing it so s-l-o-w-l-y that I almost fell asleep at the canteen table. Didn't really expect her to copy, put her reputation of her geek and nerd to shame. sigh.

So I went to carry out my makeover after school. I try to make it as hush-hush as possible. Was on my way to get my leather shoes when I saw Michelle. She told me about the shoes sale over at one of the departmental store, oh great.

After getting my shoes, I went to carry out my makeover. AND IT'S A DISASTER! I look like a freak, went to the toilet to see my reflection, I was like, What the hell happened to me?!?! I wanted to rush home in a cab and just lock myself in my room, forever.

Don't wanna waste my money on taxi fare, as a matter of fact, it's my 4rd times in this week taking a cab. So I was on the way to bus interchange with my head down, unable to face the world, when I heard someone shouted, "Ruby!". It's Jesslyn.

Hey, give me a min, I am not a homosexual with a girlish name, they give me this nickname out of nowhere. I was totally stunned. She was like laughing away and saying, "hey, what the hell happened to you?" So I explained those shit stuff that happened to me.

Back home, after bathing, I look again in the mirror, sigh.

That's it. Everyone gonna laugh their arse off at me for tomorrow presentation. oh great.
ho hum. Rushing through my macro economics and CMSY now.

Was on my way to school today in my dad's car when I suddenly tell him, what do you think of that Renault Megane car? Surprisingly, we are so near the showroom, so we went in together to see the car. It's has a very nice shape and build compared to the Toyota Corolla. My dad asked me to come back early so we can test drive together.

Business Accounting was as usual, nothing much to talk about it. Cash Receivable/Payable Control Account and stuff. Quite easy actually.

Went to have lunch with Faith, Noi and Mayvis. Actually going to do project together at Boss house, but those girls are hungry...zzzz... as usual.

Stopped project at 7pm.... Mayvis need to go change her handphone SIM card or something, so we went off early. Actually, wanted to take a cab from boss' house to the car showroom, but i was controlling my bladder like mad, so took a bus to Tampines Mall and relieve myself before taking a cab there.

oh man, the car is cool. It's key-less, you use a card to control the car, everything is automatically, can run on both auto and manual mode...

I going to have a makeover this friday for my presentation. heh. Cut my hair and stuff. Do keep a lookup.

tata, boring day.

October 14, 2003

A rather cheerful day for me.

Was late for my CMSY Lecture, actually didn't bother about it, it's just revision stuff. But still, I took a cab and rush down.

Received a message from "her" while on the cab. Although we have not met for 2 years or so, we still message each other regularly. She asked for my email, that all. Asked her how's life and so on. Really misses her a lot, the day where we walked home and stuff. I knew that she's already in another relationship, but no matter what, still wish her the best in her future endeavour.

Macro Economics lecture was fun and interesting. I love the lecturer, what's his name again? Simon something? Anyway, he love to crack jokes. Was looking at Boss playing game on my Palm Tungsten, when he signaled at my direction, I don't know whether is he pointing at me or what, but I just remain still and look at him... Everyone was like looking in my direction too... yucks.

Communication skills exam today. I gonna flunk it, totally. The report writing part I was just scribbling some crap, the introduction I missed some important points, I am so dead.

After Macro economics tutorial, went to have tea break with many of my peers. Nothing much to talk about here, we just chi chat and joke around. We are on our way home when the girls had some sort of "party" in the toilet. Gee... wonder what they up to... :p

Collected my pants today... Well, I forgotten to bring the receipt, so I just tell them I lost it, Gee, they asked for my personal information and social security number... was allowed to collect it. Was still thinking what I am missing for the presentation, Shirt, checked, pants, checked, Belt (hmm... should i get a new one), leather shoes (my current one has been with me for 4 years, should I get a new one? heh), should be ok now.

Just downloaded the econs paper, going to do it now.

October 13, 2003

ARGH. Lost my Business Accounting Textbook, couldn't complete the assignment, got to beg Boss to wake up early and meet me. Manage to complete the assignment in time before the tutorial starts.

Not surprise to see only 8 people attending the tutorial. Most skipped it for their presentation later, while some are just plain lazy to turn up.

It's cool to see everyone dressing up so formal for the presentation. Good thing I bring my digital camera to capture this moment. Took some shots with Tian Nee and Jesslyn. Not going to publish it here, I look kinda dumb. haha.

Going to loan Peter a hundred dollars. Not kinda willing. He lose $300++ in soccer, and now he's going around borrowing money... I verbally agreed to loan him, but might withdraw my offer... I don't trust people who bet in soccer.

Work work work, now rushing my Communication skills outline and Macro Economics tutorial... sigh. Monday is such a boring day except for Smallville, coming up soon. heh.

ta ta.

4 months passed, soon holiday will be approaching. Till now, I believe some of my friends still doesn't know me well. Let me do a short introduction of myself, on my hobby to be precise.

I am very engross in the art of photography. I picked up this hobby when I was around 13. At that time, I was using those cheap Canon camera, it was my birthday present as a matter of fact. Slowly, I progess to more advanced equipment, now, I am using Minolta X-700 with 1 stock lens, 1 telephoto lens and a flash.

My shooting interests are people and buildings. I love to capture the natural expression of people when they are unaware of my presence. Although a building might look the same from normal people view, I try to capture it through the different angle to create an art within. Here are some sample of my creations,











So that's all about my hobby.

As usual, doing my Business Accounting for tomorrow tutorial. Got to leave school early as there's presentation tomorrow but not my group. Got to go Boss house to do the model.

So long, goodbye.

October 11, 2003

Rainy day... The weather was so fine for sleeping, had to drag myself up for the National Education after my mom shout at me to wake up. Went down, then think awhile... finally decided to go back to my bed...

Woke up at 10.45am... after bathing and changing, rushed down to school for Macroeconomics lesson. Was kinda late by 20min when i reach there. Today lesson went quite alot of topics. I need some serious help on the graphs. Lots of graph, can't even remember the x y value of each graph. sigh.

Went Long John Silver for lunch with Jesslyn and Tian Nee. Given them some suggestion on their project on the way there. They are left with 2 days before their final presentation on monday...

Accompanied them to Century Square to buy their project stuffs. Flipped through some car magazines while waiting for them to choose their vanguard sheet. Gee, excited at the sight of those car, gonna drive after going through the driving test. Went "Shop and Save" as the both of them are buying snacks for their group members. Got 2 pack of green pea crackers for myself.

Parted way with Tian Nee at the bus interchange. Reached home at 4pm... Watched "The Italian Job" in my mini theater room... quite average. Nothing exciting... maybe a 3 out of 5 score for it.

Actually intended to cook my own dinner (Steak with black pepper sauce), but only finished the movie at 7pm, so took a bus to the market and bought dinner back home. Bought sweets (Fisherman) from Cold Storage on the way there.

For dinner, I had Nasi Lemak (Coconut rice with veg and meat). Quite average. Well, you get what you pay, it cost SGD$1.90.

Was shamelessly telling Ron, my friend from ACS about my blog... hey ron, if you are reading this, thanks for visiting. heh.

Right now drinking a cup of green tea (my sixth cup today) and listening to my favourite CD...

October 10, 2003

Forced to wake up by my mom today. Anyway, went for IISO lecture. Was late by 10 min, the lecture ended in less than 20 min. Ms Tan CC gonna leave us... sigh, she's a nice teacher. So now, I have 3 hours of break since there's no communication skills tutorial today.

Had my lunch with the rest of the class in Business Park. Ordered the malay rice with mussel, squid, long bean and some potato stuff. The serving kinda big, didn't manage to finish the rice. It's a sin to waste the food.

Both Tian Nee and Jesslyn hogged my Palm Tungsten T (PDA)... didn't had a chance to do some planning. Discussed communication skills presentation with my group members. Was feeling kinda sleepy, so didn't pay much attention. heh.

Had a "quarrel" with Faith. Anyway, I was very angry at that moment, so added some rude comment to her blog. Regretted totally now. Seriously, I need to take life easily, I get flared easily over small matters.

Those doofus didn't had a chance to see my portfolio during APEL lesson. heh. It's not that I am selfish or whatever reason they think, but frankly speaking, my background isn't much worth mentioning about. Showing them only disgrace myself.

woah, boy, am i not surprise. After Richard told us about the inaccuracy in the attendance booklet, everyone in the class turned up for his lecture. Well, today is just revision lecture, nothing happening. Played game on my Tungsten T throughout the lecture.

Went Boss's house after the lecture to continue our model for the IISO presentation. Stopped at some Tampines town to buy sprays for the model. Treated everyone McDonald to cheer them since they had a long and tiring day. Ordered 20 pieces of chicken nuggets and 6 pieces of fish mcdipper. yummy.

Over at boss's house we spent nearly 2 hours doing the model. I can say it's at least 45% completed.

Left his house at 7.15pm. Took a feeder bus to the Interchange. From there, went to shop around at Challanger (IT departmental shop). Bought myself a crossover UTP cable and 10 pieces of Sony CDR media. The cashier pursued me to sign up for the membership ($30 for 2 years). Since I shopped there regularly, I just sign up.

While collecting my membership card, overheard a couple quarreling with the staff. Apparently the couple's computer has been sent for repair to them and there's some problem with the hard disk. They insisted that their data in the hard disk not to be erased off. This is kinda dumb, there is no way you can repair a hard disk without clearing off the data, and Singapore does not have the equipment to do this kind of repair. What's up with those IT-idiots? what a shame.

Took a bus home. Almost overslept.

Addicted to the song, Swing Swing by All American Rejects. All because of "American Wedding".... oh my god, going to listen it again.

gonna sleep early tonight, need to attend National Education (not again...) the next morning.

October 09, 2003

Part 2 Blog of Oct 9

Feeling kinda moody. After watching "American Wedding", thinking about my future life...

Will life still be the same as it is now?

Listening to Swing Swing by All American Rejects

Extract of Lyrics
Wish cast into the sky
I'm moving on
Sweet beginnings do arise
She knows I was wrong
The notes are old,
They bend, they fold
and so do I to a new love.
Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
Do you know what it feels like,
being alone?
I'll find someone new

Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again.
Bury me
(you thought your problems were gone)
Carry me
(away. away, away...)
Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again.


woah, lots of thing to talk about today.

Very happy today. Singapore won the case against Malaysia for the land reclaimation.

Was late as usual for IISO, about 10 min late. Thought there's no more available group, so was a loner doing the assignment... not till Tian Nee told me why I didn't join them.

Saw Chris Nokia N-Gage today. Actually saw it yesterday when going home after the movie. It's kinda cool, running on a different OS compared to the old Nokia phone. But the idea of bringing such a bulky handphone everywhere i go, is a total turn off. Eyeing the Sony Ericssion or Samsung.

After lunch with Boss and Han, went to the Sports Hall to see Ivan and Anand play squash. They allowed us to try, had a round with Boss, woah, it's cool. Going to play this again, hooked on it.

Only know that Boss is born in Malaysia during the CMSY tutorial. Richard Lim actually know that many of us skipped his lecture and our friends have been signing for us. Actually it's that Peter. He went to snatch the attandance book and bring it to our seats to let everyone sign. Richard has already stated that everyone are suppose to go down personally to sign. oh well, thanks to him.

Finally went G2000 to exchange my shirt and alter my pants. Was told to collect on wednesday, which was kinda rush, cos my communication skills presentation is on friday. Tried the Mcdonald's Fish Mcdipper, taste great, but too expensive...

Anyway, watched "American Wedding" today in my mini home theater room. My theater room is powered by Creative Extigy (audio decoding) and 4 surround speakers. Totally rocks.

This is a follow up on the previous movies, "American Pie" and "American Pie 2". In this movie, the main actor and actress finally decided to get married. The movie is totally hilarious! 2 thumb up for this!

that's all for today. ta ta

October 08, 2003

Went car viewing today with my dad. Was kinda impressed with the Scion iST. But personally, i I prefer a saloon car...

Went to school, was kinda late for my project meeting. Well, the team leader was late herself, overslept or something. So didn't do much today except for some cutting work.

Saw Hui Fang (Hui Feng?) today at Business Park. Wow, she look beautiful in her formal wear. I going to look fatuous in my formal wear next week. -_-

Was suppose to view cars again, but my dad cancelled it. So went to watch "Infernal Affairs 2" with Tian Nee, Jesslyn and Ivan. Suppose to change my shirt, but on my haste to school, forgotten about it, oh well.

Watching "Charmed" now. Later gonna watch "CSI" too.

ta ta, *poof*

October 07, 2003

Not really looking forward to my econs presentation today. oh well.

So dragged myself to school for my computer systems and econs lectures. Econs as usual, don't quite understand some concept and my exams are coming in 3 weeks time. Went for lunch with Sharon and peeps. Everyone rushing on the econs portfolio and presentation, quite a heretic day for them yea?

Communication skills tutorial skipped by quite alot of people. Not surprised. The last presentation for econs, many peeps also skip comm. skill to do their last touch up. Anyway, we are released early by 1 hour. Today lesson just going through some presentation (not again) stuff.

I thought I will be the second one presenting as I was in the second group. I don't know why, but I ended up being the first one to present.

I am so dead. Didn't go quite well for me. During the presentation, i tried to stay claim and address the issue to the audience. Learnt this from Miss Yang, we are suppose to face the audience instead of starring at the paper or stuff like this. Missed out some extra points which I believe will have helped me gain some extra point. Anyway, it's good to know that I get more than a pass for this presentation.


Went shopping with Ivan, Tian Nee and Jesslyn for my formal clothes. Went G2000 at Tampines Mall. Not my first time seeking opinion from girls, but feel kinda shy. Don't ask me why. Selected a long sleeve dark blue shirt and those office pants. Spent about $70+ on it. But discovered the shirt kinda big for my size after reaching home. Gonna exchange it for a smaller size tomorrow.

Watching Romeo and Juliet now. Don't really like this version. Kinda funny yea?

okie, gonna go...

October 06, 2003

Kinda jumpy today. Apparently someone used some chinese words on me which I detested most. No one have used that on me without a proper reason. This is totally uncalled for. Another one added to the list.

Was late for Computer Systems Lab. Anyway, the lab was kinda boring. Networking stuff. Basic stuff, totally no kick at all.

Went to have lunch with Boss and Han at Mensa. Ordered the soft shell crab set ($5). The serving is kinda fine, but the crab isn't tasty enough.

Business Accounting tutorial was next. Done my homework and stuff, a fruitful day. Seriously, I don't understand why people skip the lesson and go for the replacement when they are already in school. Just be attentive for the 2 hrs and its over. Why not for the replacement lesson? Remember my mom words of wisdom, "Pay now, enjoy later." heh.

IISO lab peaked me up today. The only lesson which I find relaxing. Discussed the macro presentation with Han. Oh man, going to present my article tomorrow, i am like so unprepared. Hope I can do well in the presentation.

Got a shock today. Faith was telling me some hand and blow stuff. How innocent can a girl be? I was like, eh? WTF?" when she told me that. Totally tarnish the image of a nerd and geek she has on my mind. . haha, she gonna kill me for this.

Overslept on the bus again... Usually I take a rest after reading The New Paper. But was disturbed by some students released from the asylum. They are laughing so loud that I find it hard to concentrate on my reading.

Listening to "More music to watch girls by" CD now. Speaking of which, Faith was so surprise about my affair with a girl. Sigh, do I really look like a gay to her? She even claimed that I smoke. Guess she going to say the girl is a male. sigh. .

Back to my macro economics now. ta ta!

October 05, 2003

A bright sunday. My typical kind of day to idle at home, sipping a cup of coffee listening to Jazz.

Was doing some data entry work... Listening to "More music to watch girls by" CD. Always bring back fond memories of her. This CD was purchased together with her. How I miss her, although there's no chance of us being back together. Days where I will wait hours for her to knock off, have a dinner and walk her home. sigh.

Delicated this song for her,

Alfie by Cilla Black

What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
then I guess it's wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
what will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.


Shall continue blogging tonight. My heart is overwhelmed with sorrow to continue...

October 04, 2003

Gonna kill myself over the IISO project. Finally completed it at 4am, saturday. Woke up at 7.45am (3 hours of sleep...zzz) rushed down to school to hand in.

I starting to hate slackers. They slack whole day long and depend on others to help them complete their work/project. I have 3 or 4 of such arses in my class. Although I don't belong to their group (thanks God), my team mates of other project who so happen to be in their group have to do almost the whole of the project. Guess what those slackers are doing while their members are rushing to complete it. THEY ARE SURFING THE INTERNET AND PLAYING GAMES.... I HATE THEM.

So after my team mates completed their project, they joined me on another project... So guess what time is it, 6.30pm (Friday). I left the school at 9.30pm. This is the first time I depart the school so late... Wanted to loan my laptop to Faith after the lab computer which she was using restart by itself, actually make a call to inform my dad whether can he drive me to Pasir Ris to take back my laptop if I loan it to her... but turn up she finished it in time...

Anyway, joined Tian Nee and gang for a light dinner before rushing back home to compile the project and to do the IT writeup. Slept at 4am, wake up at 7.45am... this really sucks.

After passing up the project, went for the National Education Forum hosted by my school. This Sonny guy was giving us a speech. oh man, he acted in various local drama series... he's kinda cool. Look like Professer Tommy Koh. For the whole duration of the forum, my coursemates and I are sitting on the steps... no available seats... really sucky. And one of the slacker is sitting beside me, I don't like him, he don't like me, as simple as that. His vocab very limited, every words he used are vulgarities. What a merence to the society.

Went out for lunch with Tian Nee and gang. Boss was with us too, but he departed earlier as he need to rush down to Raffles for work. Wanted to catch a movie with Ivan, but the timings are bad, so he went to collect his passport while I go home.

Went Sim Lim after bathing. Almost a weekly routine for me, window shop for computer parts. Bought a Creative Extigy worth $220.

Now slipping my Apple Juice with Aloa Vera... yummy. Also bought apple crackers to pair up with it. It's an apple day!

Now gonna rush for my macro economics project.... so long good bye.

October 02, 2003

Was late for ten minutes for my IISO tutorial... But the lecturer mark me attended instead of Late.

During tutorial, someone actually ask me whether am I a gay. what a question to ask...

Played badminton with Han, Boss and Ivan. Not in form today. Couldn't hit anything... The girls joined us 1 hour later after we started. Sharon's friend was there too. I thought she was Sharon's mother when I saw her photo over the net.... wow, she look cute in real life.

After the bathing, discovered that 1 racket was missing. Oh man, was late for CMSY tutorial becos' of this. Turn up that the group beside our court took it. I actually asked them whether did they took our racket, they give a firm no. zzz, doofus.

Anyway, during CMSY tutorial, it was fun. That Lecturer Richard doesn't keep himself update with the IT world. Corrected him so many times.

Went luncheon with Ivan after the tutorial ended. Boy, was I hungry. 1 bowl of noodles (tasteless yucks) and hotdog (those with cheese inside).... yummy.

Reached home, and have a cup of my Walls Delights Green Tea ice cream... the weather was so hot... Have another cup of cold water after the ice cream...

Now watching some Japanese drama on Channel 8 while typing my project... Hope I can complete it before 2am in the morning.

ta ta!

October 01, 2003

After feeling Faith's blog, feel kinda sad. She mentioned something about the separation of the class for next year. I feel kinda sad about this too. Gonna miss so many people, Naydia, Faith, Ivan, Tian Nee, Jesslyn, Chan Hui, Han, Noi, Peter, Ala, uh opps, just forget about the last entry.

Went school early today for my communication skills discussion, ended up late as I slept quite late yesterday. Business Accounting lecture was quite okie, except for the last part, need some serious reading up.

Parted ways with Ivan at Bedok MRT after the lecture. He's on his way to his weekly tennis session, while for me, I going to test drive car with my dad.

woooah... the Corolla was damn cool. Test drive the Corolla and Vios, the Corolla has better road holding, stable on the road and silent motor. The Vios was just average. Bumpy ride with the motor shaking up the car. Will be buying it next month. yeaaa....

Doing my IISO and CMSY tutorial now while watching "Charmed"....

That's all for today, Goodbye.
