Wow, this is the first time the lecturer was late. I arrived (was late actually) and was surprised to find group of students waiting outside the lecture hall. Nacy Tan (correct name?) came to replace Mr. Sng as he will be lecturing for the next 3 weeks. Overall, her lesson was as good as Mr. Sng and she teaches very fast, 1 chapter ended in under 1 hour. Be looking forward to early departure for the next 3 weeks.

Manage to get my psychology report done on my laptop after the economics tutorial ended. Messaged Abel telling him I won't be joining the guys for Zouk tonight since I already commit myself to the XXX Walk with Sharon and people. Gee, know why I bold Sharon and group, cos' they want credit for it, becos of that Vanessa incident.

I was falling alseep outside the lecture hall while waiting for Vanessa. Oh well, she decided to cancel the whole meeting cos' the presentation has been changed to a later date and she don't want to wait for Jiaxiang and that dead log till 5pm.

Tomorrow is the X Run, I was thinking of bringing an extra pair of clothes and bath, but it will be odd carrying a bag while walking. However, being sweaty and sticky is gross. Sigh.

So disappointed in my networked multimedia and business accounting. It was well above average, but I was expecting something higher for networked multimedia since I considered it as my pet subject. Perhaps I am better in practical. Self consolation, sigh.

Today selected my CDS (Cross Disciplinary Subject) and electives today. Well, I did remember mentioning previously that I not going to select language as my CDS, guess I just contradicted my statement. I placed French as my first CDS choice, Hospitality and tourism business as my second choice. Most of my peers place hospitality and tourism business as their first choice, maybe I can see Ron if I am selected for this CDS, but wait, Ron doing his attachment next semester. oh well.

Saw Jackson's poster at the BIT noticeboard. At least now I know the noticeboard exist. Kinda impressive, yea? Like that poster boy from the Business course too.

Psychology tutorial was quite exciting today. We are doing the chapter on Stress Management and we have a relaxation exercise involving breathing method and some muscles contraction, just like yoga stuff. Saw that "dead log" in the class, wow, he can act as if nothing has happened. Didn't turn up for all the meetings. Vanessa and I already decided if he didn't turn up for tomorrow meeting, we will send a personal email to Mr. Jeff Neufeld. This leecher doesn't deserve any grade for his psychology, can't believe he's from the same course as me. shame on him.

Helped Jesslyn and Xiaowan on their NMM before going for my psychology lecture. The whole TB030 gang was having a helluva fun in the silicon lab. Let's see, a big fat ha...hmmm? wahahaha. During the psychology lecture, I was practically sleeping throughout the whole duration. It's not exactly boring, just that the lecturer is just talking and talking, couldn't process the whole chunk of words coming out from his mouth. Only at the last few min when Sharon message me to join that XXX walk stuff then I was able to concentrate. Strange, she and Jiali message me on the same stuff at the same time.

Although I given my commitment to Sharon to join the XXX walk, but might not be going afterall. The night before will be going Zouk with my friends, so if I am drunk, you won't see me walking at the bedok reservoir but throwing up at home. But then, might not be home too, maybe stay overnight at my friend's house.

Fall asleep while trying to do my psychology report. Damn, wasted 2 hours like this, still have to complete my microeconomics tutorial. Praise the Lord, they abolish the presentation! Wahahaa, I hate presentation!

Pardon me for my frankness, but this is what I wrote for the survey. For a great laugh, do read it.

What comments do you have for the above activities ?

LAN Gaming is a waste of time. It is the cause of our morale decay. I strongly suggest the school to pull down such activity and concentrate on more academic based activities.

What improvements would you like to see in the lab facilities and their opening hours ?

I seldom use the lab facilities as the internet connection to international sites are slow and the computers are not quite up to standard. The computers lag badly. Also, the school should consider upgrading the mouse, there is so much dirt in it and I can't clean it to improve the smoothness as it is glued. I prefer to use my laptop and do my work on it.

If I could change one thing about the diploma in BIT, what would it be ? (Strongly encouraged to answer)

Allows students to specialize in either one of the field, IT or business. I prefer specialisation and if not for TP environment, I will have joined other poly as they allows the students to specialise. Feel free to contact me, I am very keen to help the school develop BIT course, having a voice from the students will be of great help.

Reached school in my dad's car just in time for the NMM lecture, seldom attend it as I think it's a waste of time since this will be the only lecture of the day and I can just go home after that. Not worth it spending the time travelling back and forth. Back to square one again for communication skills, identify problems, learning issues, etc. Have a new member in the group. To be frank, he gave me the impression of someone who doesn't do work much. However, today meeting changed my impression of him slightly. He joined us for lunch too. I just hope he will contribute to the group, as I have bad experience with slackers, esp my CMSY group.

Wanted to go for the JAE open house and disturb, go there and maybe tell them I want to know more about the course, make them explain to me and when they ask me which school am I from and what's my O level score, I just tell plainly with a evil grin, I am from School of Business, TP. wahahaha. Thought the open house will still be available at 4, but it was closed. Maybe next year.

Went for lunch (again) with Ivan at Pasta Mania. Oh my god, I am becoming a glutton. Ordered something less filling. The waitress was not very polite, asked her to get me a fork, she passed it to me, but added, actually you can get it from the front counter. Duh, she was behind the place where they place the cutlery, does it actually bothered her so much as to pass one to me? tsk. Was about to leave when Tian Nee wanted to join us. She sure have a thing for half naked guys, almost all of the photos are half naked guys and one even shows 2 guys having fun in bed. gosh. Has homosexuality open up in Singapore? No offence to my homosexual readers. :)

CM called me up yesterday during my NMM lab. She was asking me out for a movie, cos she remember I asked her out but she was not free at that time. Maybe will tell her I am free next week. Don't know how the both of us get started, she was a total stranger to me. At that time when I was still a young and naive kid, I will always stare at her just for fun, that was when I am queuing up for my good at the canteen. She was a prefect then. Then slowly she smiles back at me when I stare at her. Then we sort of become friends after that. Well, this is surely a wierd way to make friends, eh?

Getting back both my networked multimedia and business accounting papers tomorrow. Hope I can a above average grade for my business accounting. Tomorrow gonna be a long day with my psychology tutorial and lecture. Wanted to give the lecture a miss since it's an online quiz rather than a lecture quiz, but they started to mark attendance for it. Always a good idea at the wrong time, just when I don't feel like attending they start this nonsense. A total of 4 hours break, maybe I bring along my laptop and do my NMM to past the time by.

Gonna start on my business accounting and networked multimedia tutorials before enjoying CSI. ta ta.

Handed in my networked multimedia project 1 today. Everything works, the links are fine, the images can be access, blah blah blah. Daniel Man said good work. He's been saying that to almost everyone, good work, perfect, really makes me wonder on the quality of his compliment. This is the only project which I didn't give up my sleep for, completed it a few days ago, so was quite in a relax mood the day before the deadline. Settled this and another one coming up, oh my god, when will this never ending cycle ends?

Was quite happy with my grade for communication skills today. It was well above average, have a feeling my comm skills grade for this semester will be higher compared to last semester. Went to ask her about my interview grade, she asked me what do you think about your grade? I said lousy, gee, she surprised me. Quite happy with it.

My psychology group sucks. Suppose to be a full meeting today, but ended up only Vanessa and me turn up for it. The rest come out with excuses. Heard conflicting view on the GL camp from her. She has only one word on the camp, sucks. Well, apparently her group of friends was given biased treatment from their own group and also from the committee. She asked me to join SL, i am joining, but don't think I will be selected, I hate cheering.

Gonna watch Smallville.

THe evolution is here! Everyone having their own blogs. This can be explained by social psychology, according to the social impact theory proposed by Latane and Wolf. Ok, don't think I will go in-depth on this. So now Michell and Sharon each have their blog, let's hope it will be constantly updated.

Was feeling quite sleepy during school. Helped my friend with his Networked multimedia project till 4 in the morning. Turned up he don't have to hand in today. Micro economics as dead as usual, with the wierd curves and stuff. But today lecture was much interesting with the short video clip.

Was quite happy that I manage to pass my Business Stats. Isn't that low nor high, just an average score. I was prepared to flunk this, but I suppose my praying was answered. My tutor gave us a mini lecture on the previous topic. Was able to grasp the essential part of it. I believe I work well under small group. With that kind of noise in the lecture hall, it's easy to get distracted. The bus stats. lecture today by that oddball was as usual, unproductive. Sometimes, I wonder whether is he teaching bus stats or engineering, IT. He didn't even know the LCD projector was off.

Searching for a good micro economics news article now. Hope I can find a good one and get started on it.

Finally manage to write past 600 words for my psychology report. Not an easy task, need to include so many theories, I think I can use this as a thesis. I know I whine alot, but this is the only avenue where I can vent out my anger and frustration. If I know I will have to write this report, I will have volunteer for the early report which consists of only 300 words. This behaviour can be explained under Hindsight bias which was shown in a study by Fischhoff and Beyth (1975). Guess I am too engrossed in it.

Told my sister about getting a new handphone, Sony Ericsson T630. I have a deal which is too hard to resist. Might get it by this month, after getting my miserable pay. Speaking of this, been receiving calls from them to confirm on my address for the tax return. Don't know what's wrong with them, at least they called during the term break, else they won't be able to contact me.

Quite happy now, just check my new domain, its working fine! It's http://geek-at-work.com . Have not started uploading stuff in it, so there's nothing much to see. Maybe I will work on it once I get psychology off my back.

School starting, lots of tutorial work coming my way. sigh, better go touchup on my networked multimedia project.

Went Sim Lim Square today to help Su Cheng and her cousin to get a CDRW. On the journey there, the taxi driver went the wrong way and ended up in Chinatown. At least he took the initative to deduce the fare. Helped them to select a CDRW before sending them off. Waited for Ronald and we went window shopping. Had my eyes on the Levis' polo tee, although the design is plain, I think it suits me well. I am just like that polo tee, as plain as it could get.

Should I just get the Sony Ericsson T630 or wait for the price of Samsung E715 to drop? The temptation is unbearable, everytime I walk pass the handphone shop, I just have the urge to take up my plastic card to purchase it. Resist! Resist!

I think I am too soft and helpful sometimes. True, this is a possible trait, always going beyond my own ability to help others. In the end, I just feel that I am being exploit. I feel kinda irritated when someone pop a question at the wrong time, I feel that I should help, but I am in the midst of some stuff, so I feel very frustrated. Maybe you can notice that from my monotone reply. Sometimes, it's dumb questions that piss me off. Just like yesterday, someone ask me whether the subjects' selection is out, I said I have no idea. She still can ask me did you sign up for it. I SAID I HAVE NO IDEA. Sigh. That's the problem nowadays, not thinking when asking questions, expecting to be spoon feed with answers. There's always TP website where you can check and when someone says no, try not to assume that's a probability that it's a yes. Maybe that's where my flaw lies, feeling irritated at the slightest dumbness.

Trying to get some work done. ta ta.

Today the release of the O level result. Was the first one to know Ting Ping's result, not quite bad actually, I think it's not that worse as she thought. At least she can make it to Polytechnic. Personally, I was over the moon when I know my result. I thought I will perform quite badly. When I got to know my result, I called my parents and sisters and try to sound disappointed over the phone, they were like, asking me not to cry and asking me to tell them the result. heh. At least I performed to their expectation although I know I can do better. Among my family, I think I am the worse, my sisters make it to Junior College, while I am stuck in a 3 years polytechnic course. Didn't regret entering polytechnic, I think life is much more relaxing compared to JC, no offence, my JC friends.

Read my friend's blog, I feel quite disappointed with him. I can't believe he actually went so far as to commit such an act. I know as a friend I should counsel him against it, but I reckon it's a little late now and I follow my mom's style. Do what you think it's right, don't hope for a second chance. I just hope he won't get caught for it.

Just realise that everyone having background music in their blog. When I view their blogs, it's like having english, french, chinese, german music combined into one. A rojak of cultural exchange? I trying to come up with something to mute their music. *Evil grin*

In a surreal mood today. I just can't explain the feeling, moody prehaps? I want to start on my work but couldn't bring myself to switch my laptop on. Always doing wierd thing when I am in such a state. Opened my front door to allow some air in, my parents will have kill me if they know what I have done. It's dangerous opening the door wide open, but who cares? I padlocked my front gate, should be alright.

Today's Meiling birthday, I suppose they will be having a celebration tonight. I was invited, but declined. I trying to keep a distance from them, besides, I having dinner at home.

Don't know why, but my handphone bill for the month of January went up to a hundred. I called my sister and she wasn't not quite happy at such an increase. I remember I did not exceed, this is wierd. I need to cut down on my usage.

Finally I started on my psychology report. Stuck at some section. Great, I need to write a thousand words. What psychological principles can I think of? I need some inspiration! Someone saveeeeeee me!

Watching Love Poetry on channel 5 now, another local production. It's quite nice, something rare you can find in a local production. It reflect the us, Singaporeans, really well.

Love Poetry
Love Poetry is a romantic comedy about mistaken identities and finding true love all amidst the beauty of poetry.

Walter is an aspiring poet who is about to have his first childrens book published. The publisher loves the book but his editor, Dana, hates it and gives him a hard time. Dana, a single mother and a lover of good poetry, falls in love with her mechanic, Matt, when he starts writing her beautiful love poems. But the truth is they were written by Matts best friend, Walter. This leads to a case of mistaken identities that can only be resolved by one clever little girl, Danas 10 years old daughter, who is determined to make Walter her new father.

Went LiFeng's house again to repair her computer again. On the way to her house, manage to get the cashcard reader, new toy to play with, finally. Must be the weather again, was having a headache for the whole of the afternoon, having the "high pressure" sensation in the head. At first I thought I mighe be too hunger, so dropped off at Clemanti to grab some food, but the pain is just too unbearable. My dad fetched me home and popped a pill of panadol the moment I step in the house. Feeling much better now.

Should I sell off my Fujitsu laptop and get a Mac laptop? It's 2 complete different world, Windows XP and Mac OS X. I will have to get the hang out of it. Most of my windows applications won't be able to run on a mac platform. My brother in law using it, maybe I seek his opinion on this before making up my mind.

GCE O's level releasing tomorrow, wanted to go back school and see how well Ting Ping get. She's not really optimistic about her result, asking me not to go as she's afraid she might not get good result and will just cry in the hall. Hmmm, same situation as me.

School's starting in 3 more days, no work nor project has done. Kinda disappointed at my own laziness. The first semester I was extremely hardworking, look, what has become of me? Maybe I will devote the whole of tomorrow to get my work done.

A long and warm day. Meeting Vanessa and Jiaxiang at 10, but turn up all of us are late. Actually I can make it in time but my dad want me to join him for breakfast. Reached school 45min after the arranged time, Jiaxiang was there and Vanessa reached 2 hours after. girls, zzz. The psychology discussion went on smoothly, brainstormed on the report and the presentation. After we manage to get the stuff done, we were waiting for someone to volunteer to type it, I was hesitating, it's like 1500 words and I still have networked multimedia project on hand. Vanessa was looking at me and I can't stand being the centre of attention, so I just uttered, "uhm, ok. I will do it."

Jiaxiang left us after the discussion. Actually I wanted to go with him, I feel wierd with a girl alone, especially when it's someone I not that close. I was reading Vanessa's newspaper when he left and it was quite exciting so I decided not to join him. When I was about to leave, Vanessa said, "huh? You leaving? Don't leave me alone leh." Oh man, I hate this. I just come out with a stupid excuse, telling her I have an appointment later.To my surprise, she wanted to join me. -_-

So on the bus ride, got to know her better. We talked about academic stuff, our courses, etc. Over at Tampines Mall, I got a hard time searching for a paper bag. That evil Jesslyn was laughing her head off when I told her. oh man, I gonna have my revenge on her next time. Maybe I pull her hair or something.

Was almost late when I reached her school to pass her the present. Anyway, I just cut short on this, lazy to type.

Went back school again to collect my i-Guides certificate. The weather was extremely warm, went biz canteen to grab a drink when I saw Ron. So we sat down and have a chat. I kinda admire him, he planned his future in details. He wanted to be in the movie industry and work in USA. I won't have give up my singapore citizenship if it's for me. But I do want to work overseas for a few years of experience before coming back.

Got to work on my psychology report. zzz.

Say I am kaisu or what, but I already send out job application for the June holiday. I gonna plan my holiday properly, not going to waste it away just like my 1 week holiday. Got my sisters to help me keep a lookup too. With the additional income, I can finally get a new handphone, iPod player and all those cool stuff using my own money. Wee~

Went Raffles City to get the card reader from Chan Hui but turn out to be the wrong one. Sigh. Went shopping with my friend. Got a birthday card (related to my favourite character - Snoopy) and a present for her. Gonna meet her in her school tomorrow after my psychology group discussion. Also, finally got my hand on Rise of the evil: Hitler, to hell with those small VCD/DVD retail stores, always telling me it's not out yet or no such movie. Got mine from Carrefour. Went Metro closing down sale too. Got a casserole and a steel pot for my mom as she broke the only one at home. Wow, it's dirt cheap, less than $35 buck for the 2 items. My friend got a gundam model which he claims to be cheap. Gee, paying so much for a item which have no practically value.

Was asked out to Zouk tomorrow. I know most people thinks I am innocent, well, maybe I should just keep up with that image eh? I consume alcohol, even when I was below the legal age. But the idea of getting drunk outside isn't a great idea. I prefer to get drunk at home and just sleep at the comfort of my bed and room.

Applied for some overdraft service through the internet with UOB 2 months ago and I still waiting for their reply. It's either they rejected my application which I highly doubt so or they didn't receive my application. Gonna make a trip down tomorrow to the bank and demand an explaination from them. No wonder the newspaper states that banks receive the most complaints from consumers.
