wooh.. last day of recess week!! haha though i aint particularly satisfied with how i spent my holidays at least i did some 'fun' stuff i wouldnt do normally in school time.. lolx.. like wash my bike!! haha play Xbox 360!! watch movies!! night cycling!! go shopping with parents!! yeah thats the good parts.. haha.. oh wells... just thankful for the break from hectic NUS life.. though i did spend quite abit of time studying this holidays i dont tink its particularly productive.. esp since there isnt any assessment boks to do... and the textbook qns dont have answers!! omg...

wells now doing abit of econs revision before i'm gonna pack my bags and stuff.. think i mentioned in previous posts i'll be moving to my aunts place at pasir panjang road just about 100m walk from Kent Ridge Hall to stay over during the weekdays to cut on travel time and hopefully have more productive time to study.. the lack of entertainment there surely is one "plus" point already.. haha.. moreover its half a sem left till the final exams.. hope i can endure and push on!! oh man.. but i feel i really need someone or my frens to really push me on to study or i'll just waste away my time again... haizz... haha oh btw i think my aunts house dont have internet connection so you probably wont see me online that often next time.. =p

but oh wells.. lifes not all study as i've suddenly got the urge to rewatch Neon Genesis Evangelion.. haha yeah some of you probably know it.. its an old anime filmed in 1995 if i recall.. but its my 1st anime i ever watched and probably it started my interest in it.. sometimes new anime pop out along the way that have characters that resemble evangelion.. but i still cant find any compeitiors in term of its deep plot... immersive storyline... tragic story etc... now that they are gonna film a remake of the whole series using new technology i am really keen to catch it ASAP.. meanwhile to satiate my hunger i wanted to watch my old vcds all over again. when i realised it isnt there anymore!! omg.. i dunnoe who i lent too.. i want it back!! help!!

Trailer of "Secret" by Jay Chou.. worth a watch! =D

wah in a blink of the eye, half the recess week is over le!!! noooo!!! well i didnt do much these 3 days leiz... on monday i went to school to meet fabby to study at the sci lib.. he was doing chem and i was doing my econs... had lunch at JERK thai at arts canteen.. some say its lerk thai but the food aint as nice as i hoped and it was very ex for nus food.. so i think it fits JERK thai... =D later on mug till 6 plus then meet ys the long lost archi fren at arts canteen again for dinner before scouting out the route to my aunt's house!

well one of the underlying reasons why i was so hardworking on monday is coz... tuesday was the launch of halo 3!! hahhaa.. went suntec at 11am lidat and queued shortly before collecting my limited edition game and a goodie bag..those crazy guys that spent 10+ hours attending the 'believer' events got a premium goodie bag from tagger which looked really cool so i was obviously jealous.. but calculating opportunity costs i think its still better for me not to waste my time so.. hahaa! met up with ys again!! woohoo rare appearance and had lunch at mac before heading back to chiong halo 3!!

halo 3 rocks!!

played till the 2nd chapter before i was joined by bin and wilson whom wanted to try halo 3 out though they never had prior experience in xbox360 shooters.. haha as expected they got lost and after some time following human nature decided to walk behind each other and either bash the skull out or use a gravity hammer to whoop a**.. hahaa.. played till we got really tired then watched Secret.. was a surprisingly nice show considering it is starring jay chou... guess he's more suited to act this kinda role than the cool role in initial D.. but omg.. the female lead is like my dream gal lar... so cute.. bubbly... haiz... guess the motto of the show goes by life prety well.. this kinda gals exists in dreams only.. Opps! did i just reveal a spoiler? hahaa.. =p

OMG the gal is the BEST!!

well that covers tuesday... how about wednesday?? haha woke up and decided to clear halo 3 by today!! so on i went and fought through throes of flood and convenant... i just love to kick a** so much.. hahaa... played till 11am then went over for my driving lesson where i had alot of fun doing the circuits and even did slope and crank course again.. woohoo... nice progress.. my road driving getting better and better... wheee~~~ after that went to library to borrow a bicycle maintenance book and went home.... what hapened next? you guess it!! i washed my baby!! hahaaaa... but after erading the book i realised i was lacking alot of specialist tools and items so i didnt do a thorough cleaning but improvised on what i had available.. but the best feeling is to see my baby all nice and clean~~~ i love my hasa comp 3.0!! *hugs*

while waiting for it to dry... i locked it outside my gates and to keep myself in the lookout i played halo 3 in the living room so i could keep an eye on my bike... *hey its not an excuse k!! hahaa* then about 3hrs later i happily completed halo 3!! hooray!! i loved the last part.. was eally adrenaline pumping just like halo 1's last mission.. a great way to end a fantastic trilogy!! haha luckily for me i aint much a fan of online multiplayer so my chapter more or less ended... and now its time to mug again!! woohoo.. then at night met up with kl at compass point and studied at starbucks~~ lalaaa.. the mugging bug is back after a 2 days break!! BE PREPARED YOU P*CS!!!

omg.. i really cant imagine myself doing this back in JC... MUGGING at the START of our holidays.. like wow... hahaa... in fact im blogging at the NUS science library! haha.. knowing my lack of motivation at home... i decided to ask fabby to study with me in school today... is a long distance from home but its worth the distance considered the mileage i covered thus far.. but my saturation point really there liao.. hahaa... so im here blogging!! hehezzz... came to school at 10am and now its 5.52pm but i still have 4 more chapters (11 chapters in all) to clear for my econs!! woot!!

wah talking about studying in school.. its recess week but it doesnt feel any diff from normal school day!! so many ppl in the library and canteen! hahaa... today had lunch at arts canteen the JERK thai.. lolx.. fabby insists its lerk thai.. but i prefer the former.. loLX.. crowded sia.. even met familar faces in school today lar!! haha totally no diff from normal school day lorzz.... NUS is really NUTS!! (and im one of those crazy people!!) haha well.. as they say.. you cant beat them? join them!!

yeah another reason why i decided to mug hard today coz halo 3 is coming out tml.. and i figured i will waste my whole day tml playing it.. lolx.. so must clear as much as i can before nothing else matters.. loLx... cools ehhh... too bad fabby dont share my enthusiasm... rejected my invitation to play halo 3 with me.. sobz... what a good buddy... psycho me to study.... maybe coz now both of us sworn to take revenge on those muggers.. grr... cant let them dominate the top of the distribution table all the time... down with the muggers!! down with the geniuses!! down with the P*C!!

yeah sun bian lets talk about the weekend!! yeah!! the night cycling was damn damn fun!! hahaa i just LOVEEEE the feeling of wind.. (cold esp!) rushing against my face.. not just endorphins but adrenalin too!! (speed) arhh... the route for the Nightriders was 80% similar to PICE (I) so i led the way with ease and barely looking at the map save the last check point... the traffic on sat night till sunday morning was bad though... was relatively dense with speeding cars.. so there were times i decided to lead my pack to the pavement (also coz they dont seem confident to cycle on road yet)

Bikes Galore!

Team Survivor Rearing to GO!!

indoor Stadium bridge!

At Esplanade!

we love suppers!!

Matrix Jump!

WOW!!!

We Love Cycling!!

though everything was going on nicely and we were having losta fun taking photos and doing matrix jumps in front of SMU, my worst fears came thru when we encountered an accident when hazel fell off her bike when she tried to dodge some awkwardly parked motorbikes on the pavement.. i felt an extreme sense of guilt as i may have been going too fast without noticing.. i was even more shocked when i saw the wound was very deep and could almost see the bone.. thankfully it was below the knee cap not dislocating any joints.. quickly i called the safety vehicle and applied first aid.. thankfully i stocked up on my alcohol swabs and antiseptic for the event.. as the wound was really deep i didnt dare to use water (pain) so did a first layer before the vehicle came to change to another dressing before bringing her to TTSH A&E...

in the end she got 4 stitches and had no major implications on her state of health.. though it was a huge relief i still feel very remorseful inside.. esp since i boasted to my team members i will take care of them and safety first.. i still feel really guilty leading the pack and not really checking on them often other than turning my head to check if everyone was following.. haiz... i could never forgive myself if she got handicapped or something... was a very big lesson for me... guess no matter how experienced i am.. how confident i am of leading... how good i can fix bike problems... safety can never be compromised... haiz... really hope she recovers soon!!

well after the whole event we even had a full team breakfast again in the morning at macdonalds which i really felt very happy for since everyone was in attendance despite the accident.. but i was still feeling guilty and all quietly so i wasn't too "high" as usual... even when i cycled home alone guilt just keep coming in.. all the 'what ifs'.. 'if only i had...' i just hope i will grow out of it soon... the image of her wound just keeps flashing through my mind.. what does it take to be a leader.... until today im still learning...

well after resting for the most of sunday mornign and afternoon i went out to meet the greenies to cerebrate bin's bdae.. though i was still abit disturbed i surprisingly got back to my normal high state thru talking to the greenies... haha somehow i'm really astonished how i click so well with my colleagues... share so many funny moments and all the suaning... if frenzship can be measured.. they are almost on par as my long time frenz from st gabs, SRJC (class/canoeing)... thanks to them i managed to get high and had alot of fun last night (inclusive to a sumptous feast courtesy of bin!) thanks greenies!!

alright.. finally reach saturation point.. gonna meet ys for dinner then go to my brothers house to collect the xbox 360.. muhahaa.. then tml go suntec city colect the game and waste my life away again.. lolx... studying econs kinda make me realise with time.. theres so much things i can do and sacrifice... given going out with frenz.. spending quality time with your loved ones... or playing games.. i would love the 2nd choice best! hahaa... but yeah... i really find it kinda sad that ever since the last time i fell really deep in love i have been outta luck in a sense.. kinda miss the feeling of being in love.. guess i have to wait till next sem or next year ba? =p

woohoo!! wanted to say this 2 nights ago but i'm just too darn tired.. but... I'M FREE!! yay-ness!!! finally have a full week of rest to catch up on studies and LIFE... looking forward to a week full of fun!! but ya on thursday i actually suffered a HUGE blow to my self esteem... we got back our chem CA which i only got 28/50... was hoping for at least 30 something.. so quite bad... worst still.. the one before and after me had 48/50!! and the distribution was totally messed up with 10% getting full marks! omg... i think thanks to the long right end, i might even have difficulty PASSING!!

its really shocking and i felt really dismayed as i thought i put in quite alot of effort on chemistry.. coming to NUS was really the first step.. now its competing with all this smart people.. optimally i would have found out who those buggers were and murder them but ya.. must be meritocratic... so was really shocked for a while.. but then the anger turned to determination.. tmd.. if they can do it.. so can i! tmd.. im so gonna whoop their a** next CA!! just you watch out!!

well sad things aside tonight im going for the sci club night cycling expedition!! woohoo!! cant wait.. yesterday brought my wife out for a spin... hahaa.. felt the LOVE again... been neglecting it since school started but its still in such prestine conditions.. damn i LOVE my bike!! gonna cycle from home to ECP to start later so hope my stamina can hold out!! hehez.. *excited*

last night actually met up with chris, lina and pi kuang where we finally had our long awaited SRJC canoeing alumni meeting.. was super productive and we laid out concrete plans to get things moving.. a HUGE contrast from the JC alumni meeting.. feel really excited agin knowing we are starting a huge movement that will move on for the years to come!! SRJC Canoeists Alumni...... WHOOSH!!

woohoo!! its wednesday!! hahaa... after tml im a free man!! woohoo.. finally its the mid sem break!! hahaa actually feels like very fast lor.. already 6 weeks passed le.. half the mid sem has gone and passed... stressing up man!! just got my biodiversity first CA results.. 7/10... wasnt too pleased as i was hoping for better but when ask ard like the situation kinda grim.. so i guess i should be satisfied?? (was hoping for 8 at least.. bleahz..) yesterday was the gen physio mcq test.. super tricky and mind bending as they keep asking you for the incorrect answer.. haha think i made some stupid mistakes.. grrr!!

tml is my statistics test.. going thru the notes and tutorials like kinda simple to understand... but feel like insufficient practise to prepare for exams... haiz... tml's weightage is even more critical as it contributes to 25% of final grade!! zomg... why aint there any TYS in uni!! *jumps around* but after tml lessons going to play tennis with benedict!! woohoo!! then its the stupid tuition... grrr... then im free!!!

free to do what?? haha... of coz the first thought is the night cycling on saturday night.. hope the weather is nice and cooling!! muhahaa... hopefully can shed some weight.. bleahz.. getting PHAT!! sobzzz... then then next but brightest goal is pn 25th sept!! haha i think i mention it 3 times in 3 posts le.. but hell... HALO 3!!! hahaa.. cant wait!! omg omg... oh! starting 29 sept i will probably be staying over at my aunts house at pasir panjang road to cut on travel time and more mugging time i hope?? haha but with no internet connection (56k = negligible) and no xbox360(my halo 3!!) life is gonna be REAL tough... haha... help!!

today actually was quite pissed.. got stood up by one of my fren AGAIN... so dissed i didnt bother to contact the person... its like once.. ok lar.. twice... pls dont do it again.. then thrice!! its like when you promise something... surely you have enough responsibility to follow it thru.. be it lending something.. meeting at a certain timing.. but forgetting it CLEANLY... like what the hell.. first and second time i can still jokingly tell the person off.. the 3rd time.. like what the f***? worst part is these kinda people just dont feel the seriousness of wasting other people's time and effort.. just look pretty and smile and 'aiya.. sorry lar'... like f*** off b****! scr*w off and go f*** your empty f***ing promises!!

wahss... been a while since i felt this miserable... can tell i'm falling sick le... not sick yet but falling sick.. its like falling in love but not in love yet eh? hahaa ok bad example... can tell i'm alittle off with my chain of thoughts already.. i guess all the instant noodles, junk food, coughing and sneezing of people i meet on public transport finally took its toll on me.. though its not feverish yet can feel a slight increase in temperature and occasional headaches...

was supposed to stay in school library to read up RBR on gen physio for tml's test but after lectures i felt terribly sickly and decided to leave after lunch.. after taking a 3hrs sleep felt alittle better but hopefully when i take my medication and sleep later i'll be fully recovered for tml's test.. just hope tml's MCQ turn out to be easy... haiz.. sucks to be feeling sick... somemore no one at home... only got my hamsters and fish to accompany me.. hahaa.. its during such times you wish you had someone concerned and looking after you ehs? =]

just finished typing the minutes for the SRJC alumni meeting i had on sat... realised i forgotten how to type minutes well... i was actually a secretary back in sec school under the patrol leaders council under fabian... kinda sad that i lost all the formats that i fine tuned back in my stint as secretary... oh wells.. now trying to do some studying for tml's test.. just feel like theres so little yet so much to cover.. esp since the gen physio notes are all blank and insufficient.. guess i have no choice but to buy the textbook if i hope to score for tihs module.. damn the lecturer...

ohss man.. i miss working in starhub!! hahaa.. not coz of the work... but the pay!! oh man.. i also miss army ABIT.. hahaa... but the pay better at starhub... why? haha coz i used to 'reward' myself monthly by buying games!! woohoo.. and omg.. suddenly all the blockbuster games just pop right in front of my face and i have no money to buy them all!! *despair* but well.. in the end its about prioritising... coz now i wanna buy 3 games... Bioshock, Halo 3, Medal of Honor: Airborne... somemore got upcoming games too.. Mass Effect, Company of Heroes Expansion, Crisis Core FF7!! oh manz.... i need money!!

but today also good news.. haha i actually waited for 1 month exactly for my laptop battery and was really irritated with having to call challenger to ask when the battery is arriving instead of the staff calling me as promised.. so today marking the 1month anniversary i actually sent them an email but canot be delievered so i decided to go down and 'fight' it out.. strangely it turned out really smoothly as when he told me he can only confirm tml i ask him to cancel the order and he agreed straightaway.. haha... was expecting resistance and all so was a pleasant surprise... oh well at least i got my $50 deposit back... but its a economic loss for me... imagine all the opportunity cost!! coz they confiscated my $50 for 1 month!! tmd... haha economists must be damn petty ppl!! =pp

today was totally spent at home slacking.. haha home alone!! my parents went to genting to have fun and lazy me decided to stay home... didnt study as much as yesterday due to the lack of pressure since i already studied for my gen physio test on tuesday and my stats test on thursday.. hahaa... oh wells.. i really just cant live on my own out there man... but after this thursday.. its the holidays for me!! wohoo!! i already bougth the halo 3 pre order card so will be collecting my halo 3 on 25 sept then can chiong le!! i cant wait!! woohoo!!

woot!! not bad not bad today... one of the most productive group study sessions i had by far.. hahaa... and cheapest too!! coz its at my house!! hahaa.. no transport fees either.. hahaa... was nice and sunny and windy too... kl came over to study though no discussion coz of diff majors but we chatted during breaks then spurred each other to study.. not bad not bad... hahaa... just abit more and im done with gen physio today.. then tml study for statistics!! woohhoo~~

this morning actually i woke up at 9am then rush cab to SRJC for alumni meeting!! hahaa... stunned right... i'm already a member of the SRJC canoeing alumni team for 3 years already but now there has been movement by our main SRJC school alumni... it is now incorporating the various CCA alumnis under its umbrella as well as to pool graduates to come and join the main alumni body as well... i always wanted to help but had no idea how.. so finally got the chance to find out more of what its doing and what it has done.. though it feels all dim and dying down... hopefully with my input we can see it rise again?? but it'll need alot of help!! though money is always the issue i feel its the spirit that needs working!! hahaa... my leadership side just got reactivated!! woohoo!!

haha i know my chronography abit messy... but now lets jump back to yesterday!! its friday!! and every friday i either go on a TGIF mood or drained mood... the former if i get plenty of sleep!! (i.e. sleep at 11pm on thursday and wake up at 12nn on friday) and i will be all drained and all if i wake up early on friday to study or do hw!! hahaa.. thankfully yesterday was the former!! then had a fun biodiveristy practical looking at specimens and learning all about plants... haha... i kinda like the biodiversity idea.. think if i dont work in the biomed industry i might consider a job in biodiversity!! =]]

then after that met the rest of my og in school before heading to city hall then to suntec city for our long awaited OG DINNER AT TONY ROMAS!! hahaa... the last time i ever ate there was in primary school and i had a lasting impression... ribs... steak.. bbq chicken.. corn... cobs... man.. im drooling again!! =D~~ those in attendance: ws, jeremy, raph, me, doh, jen, daijing, huiling, pam, sheen yee and yi wei!! kodos to diana and janani too!! for making the effort to join us later despite earlier committments!! woot!! thats the survivor spirit! =] had a nice sumptous dinner consisting of their mouth watering ribs and bbq chicken!! hahaa.. had some fun chopping corn and flexing muscles to cut the meat.. =PP

tony romas rocks!!

later on i 'sneaked' out to coffee bean to collect the cake i order 4 days beforehand then got raph to help me set it up outside before bringing it in to cerebrate our sept babies bdaes! ws, yi wei and diana!! i think it was a pretty nice cake though the cheese part could have improved!! hahaa.. then later presented them the bags jeremy and i went to buy the other time.. hahaa.. hope they like it!! =] after dinner a grp of us took a walk to esplanade then to merlion park to chat and chill out.. been a long time since i took that walk.. feels good to break free from the monotony of school!! was a great night!! thanks to those for coming!! hahaa... party organiser success!!

we survived TONY ROMA'S!!

the 3 sept babies!

survivor goes merlion park!!

yup!! now back to present!! *zoom* later going to thomson plaza to cerebrate my grandma's bdae!! wheee~~ hope she stays healthy and happy always!! =] then later tonight will probably wrap up my transpiration chapter then tml can start on statistics in life sciences!! hmmm hopefully can find someone to study with me tml too.. preferably taking same major.. haiz.. but fabby my buddy like dont like to study in grps one... sadss.... oh wells.. tonight check again ba!!

wahsss today is one of those days again manz... its those days that i just feel like i cant be happy or really smile and laugh out loud days... like feeling grumpy and loner for no reason at all... nothing to do with emo and all.. might be coz the bad sleep i've been having recently... dunnoe why also... but really sorry to those who had to bear my 'black face' but its just maybe a break for my smiling muscles.. hahaa... its rare to see a angry or upset deming right?? haha... once in a blue moon!! ;)

but yeahh i'm feeling good le coz i just had a dose of endorphins!! hahaa dunnoe what it means? go wikipedia and find out! optiade peptides!! woot... the wonders of exercising... but its really scary how come i perspire so perfusely nowadays... was totally drench from my sprintings... but really felt the euphoria and 'release' of those unhappy gloomy feelings from my body~~ wootz!!! maybe i can sleep well tonight too!! yesh!!

hahaa just changed my blog music to enrique iglesias - hero.. always liked this kinda nice expressive songs that are easily to sing after too... not coz i'm still in the emo-mood.. hahaa or to memorise it to serenade someone... though i do admit nowadays i feel really lonely at times and being envious of people with bfs/gfs to spend time with.. i guess its good to enjoy my own time now too... yup yups!!

one of my biggest woes recently is motivation and companionship... though i do get to meet up with my good frenz fabby jk caleb ys kl in school as well as my new frenz from my og.. i still find myself lacking in terms of activity mates (i.e. running/swimming/gymming) and i'm still outta luck in finding a companion on my way home.... haizz... any volunteers for the above slots?? haha.. until i decide to join a CCA next sem i dont expect to be knowing anymore new ppl le ba.. lolx..

omG!! i saw pre orders for Halo 3 already!! oh nos... launch date is 25 sept!! omg omg.. i was literally jumping ard the store considering if i should get it you know!! hahaa can ask kl if you dont believe =pp oh manss... cant wait for it!!! been too long since i divulge myself in games le.. hahaa... thats why ive become emo of sorts recently!! =pp hahaa but with little to no income nowadays my spending power decreased alot and with a huge portion of my money spent on my frenz present i have but to only wait till i can get my cash back before i spend it again... sad... i wish i was paid to study man.. haha

watch out covenant scum!! Master Chief's back!!

just now went to vivocity!! hahaa a kinda 'reward' for me from surviving my 'ordeal' from my chem test on monday... wasnt that tough and wasnt that well done.. haha but figured i had to motivate myself to keep myself going yah!! hahaa... so on sunday after meeting kl and his gf to study we decided to watch ratatouille!! asked the more enthu ppl and all came lest ys and fabby who had school committments.. kl and me had dinner at republic foodcourt joined by ys and alvin who popped by as well as rs and evelyn shortly after... felt really nostalgic and nice to see old classmates again.. ppl you can confide in for years of knowing each other.. not just new friends that we try to get know better in time... its an entirely different feeling you know?

ratatouille was not as funny as i hoped.. but as per any pixar movie it always had a moral of the story in it... maybe coz the ending wasnt like what i expected (i.e the man learns to cook on his own) i felt alittle disappointed but adding up the light comedy and hilarious moments plus the cute rat... ratatouille summed up to be a pretty nice and cool show to catch!!

Deming Rating: 3/5

also made 3 revelations today!! hahaa... 1: I AM GAINING WEIGHT AGAIN!! omg.. since RUN NUS i have been going UPSLOPE.. hahaa... helpsss.. though i still maintain my weekly swimming routine.. the lack of companionship is really killing me!! think i wanna find a gymming friend and running khaki le... but luck just keeps running outta me.. either my frenz dont like to run or swim... or those who do dont stay near me... sads... i think i seriously need to join a sports CCA.. haha meet more ppl who share common interests as me!!

2: i have been neglecting my modules!! suddenly i realied that taking 5 modules is like taking 5 A's levels... but with the absence of tutorials and tests from my econs, biodiversity and general physio modules.. i have been concentrating MOST of my effort on Chemistry - which i found my weakest subj at this point - followed by stats... which gets me kinda worried... i have been lax on the other 3 as there isnt much pressure.. but the thought of having exams for them is really distressing me!! oh nosss

3: Most of my class guys are attached by 'new age ways'.. hahaa... a SUDDEN stunn-ed thing you know!! haaa... not that i insulting or suaning them... just a inside thought... hahaa some of them are attached via FRIENDSTER... like WOW... i mean thats damn interesting.. haaa... i mean sometimes i get friend invitations from strangers and i just turn them down... but then i nv realised its actually possible to get to know someone in friendster and actually fall in love?? hahaa... in retrospect i'm actually amazed!! coolsss... then some of them actually go out with their OLD friends!! hahaa... like primary sch ar.. sec sch ar... or even JC friends lor... hahaa.. somehow my mentality has always been to look out for OTHER ppl to find the ONE... but sometimes i find myself learning new things about 'old' friends and all... but still i think i just cant picture trying to win the heart of one of my many good friends i have now... its just etched too well as a friend to consider than a lover-to-be!! omg... hahaa am i still in the last century thinking??? someone enlighten me!!

hahaa... tml gonna be long day!!! haizzzz i dread econs tutorials.. so sianzzz... then caleb always dont sit with me... *feels cheated* hahaa... gotta work hard man!!! all those in uni!! jia you ba!!!!

then i realised to my horror that blockbluster games like Medal of Honour: Airborne and Bioshock are out already!! omg... a vivid gamer like me.. stuck in the life of NUS and now as a student with no income.. i have no choice but to stare at the games shelf like some little kind and ponder... hahaa... but no fear!! why i didnt buy thosegames?? because HALO 3 is coming out in end sept!! OMG OMG OMG!! the game to die for.. hahaa.. just hope that ys still onz about going to queue for the release date man.. hahaa... woohoo!!

well on the dark side of tings.. i got my chemistry CA tml!! like so stressed lar... everyone studying so hard... i seemed to have spent 2 days studying unproductively that im still burning midnight oil now.. hahaa... actually about my last post last night.. actually after that i really couldnt sleep as i actually thought of doing someting to 'close that chapter in life' so that i can move on.. but it got so sad and heartwrenching that i couldnt sleep in peace... but thankfully when i woke up in the morning i was reset again and i decided its best to not do anything foolish... too drama for my taste le.. so i guess i can consider that chapter closed as i move forward to write my next chapter.. =D

wahhss.. i just got a $100 today.. and as per the many times i saw it... i just stopped and admired it... haha i feel a very strong affinity to it you know!! hahaa... why you wonder??? look behind ya.... do you see 3 uniformed grps? then a scout structure? then a SAF officer?? and the SAFTI tower?? hahaa.. out of that 3 pictures i can gladly say i have been through 2 of them... i was a boy scout in secondary school and i did build such towers (called hourglass) and been on top of them!! hahaa.. then theres the SAF officer... everyday i look at my commissioning sword resting in my living room with pride... then theres the SAFTI tower.. climbed it when i was a cadet.. and climbed up again when i was commissioned... never a moment to be forgotten.. pride.. glory....

yeap!! so i LOVE $100 notes... so next time you see me can give me one ok?? thanks!! =DD

today went to bishan library to meet kiat loong and his gf shuhui to study.. sadly there were no seats so we sat on the floor and studied... wasnt too productive due to distractions and the discomfort..but at least i cleared a substantial amount of chapters from my chemistry textbook... but didnt do the exercises as i planned originally.. later on went gramps house again and hang ard with my younger cousins showing them the great game called company of heroes.. haha i am bad influence!!

arhhz now at home slacking chatting with losta frenz... somehow i feel very emo tonight... maybe coz of all the emo songs i got from my songs earlier but also talk with my fren about my past 'love lives'... haha funny typing this post as i am tearing also... ahaa... smiling and crying... perfect way to describe my feelings in my 3 most serious crushes ever.. its like for once i find someone i would want to spend my time and happiness with... preparing so much to get closer.. then you find out she is attached... and she is so happy with the other person... and you feel the pain everytime you see her smiling away.. as frenz... its just so painful to be just friends... smiling outside... crying within.. sometimes i really curse my existance.. sometimes i think i just want to let her know my feelings so that i would not have to regret.. but its just so selfish and unfair for her... so i just have to keep smiling... and watch her walk away..

i just cant bring my heart to smile everytime i see you...

woot.. im now typing my blog in a very interesting place.. on a bus!! But instead of the normal conventional buses we all take.. its actually DAMN cool lar! Hahaa.. seriously.. its like a pub literally.. im actually typing on a ‘bar top’ that is facing the bus left.. the bus driver is super courteous , there are SOFA seats and designer chairs at the back!! Practically speaking its a serious waste of space... but it so unique and cool lar.. hahaa.. bus number 156... powerrsss did anyone read about such buses on the news? Coz i never heard nor expected such stuff.. haha i hope they don’t charge extra for this manz... grr...

One thing about studying economics is that you actually become more calculative!! Haha seriously.. im applying my principles of opportunity cost now on almost a day to day basis... actually its no different from everyday life making of decisions but somehow alot more alternatives and options come across your mind here and there. .. like in comparative earnings back in my starhub days of $9/hr and my current tuition job at $15/hr, its a monetary increase but then the opportunity cost now is much higher as i have to sacrifice time from participation in CCAs, time to study, time to rest and go out... recently time seems to pass terribly fast in NUS... even exams are starting next week can! And it feels like school has but only started... haiz... cant wait to quit this tuition job to either have more time for myself or find a better paying job to rationalise my losses...

Tml is my free day!! First ever in NUS... usually Thursday nights are my fav weekday night as it is the only night i can sleep ad wake up in the afternoon!! Brr no more 0530hrs... hate it manz.... moreover i already finished the headache of tuitions.. haha... but then tml got a break from practical so is my rest day.. but is also the submission dateline for our biology practical lab report.. actually intended to finish it today in the afternoon but then i didn’t manage to meet up with my fren to get the textbook i need for references and i ended up spending much time at the NUS international student fair to find out about student exchanges

after talking to the booth people i guess SEP would be more suited for me as i dont really have an entrepreneurship spirit just yet and going for NOC (1 year) may be too tedious.. so with SEP i also have to decide which country to go to.. i was thinking along the lines of australia, new zealand or france... australia and new zealand has really costly standard of living and france has the problem of language to learn before i can go there.. so its quite a headache... guess i'll have a tlak with my parents soon.. anyone got any opinions on this?

i wanna go france!!

wooohoo now slacking happily at home... actually i just had an interesting conversation with my sis-in-law about relationships.. once again i find myself being able to really advise on matters regarding relationship conflicts... this time i also applied some prinicples of economics! no jokes!! hahaa... even my da sao say next time my gf will be very xin fu... haha but i think its easier to see things as a 3rd party thats why i can interpret actions and suggest remedies so well.. but if it happens to me i guess even i myself will be hard pressed to resolve the conflict... thats why sometimes when i have such conversations with my frenz i like to log it down for future reference... based on my beliefs and values.. i think its really a good reference in the future.. hahaa.. besides for those love troubled out there.. in the end.. you just have to ask yourself.. what do you truthfully want for this relationship.. and how strong is your love for the other person.. some food for thought =]

ok later going out to shop with some ppl from my og.. sadly alot of them like not free or cant be bothered to reply my message.. so sad.... kkkz go play abit of coh then study abit le.. seeyaZ!!

woot!! feels good to have half a day of school!! hahaa.. today just went to lecture for gen physio then went for a 1hr tutorial till 11am then went for our weekly OG lunch at science canteen... i love tuesdays lor.. can eat at own time own target... dont need to stress to find seats and queue long queues to eat.. woot!! went home straight after lunch to chill and upload pictures from dnd!! hahaa... also went to do weights and run to destress.. been a week since i last exercised and i felt alittle tight on the chest when running so i decided to cut short the training to build up slowly again!!

actually i found on yahoo auctions a weight lifting bench costing $120... 2nd hand leiz.. somemore like no brand... but sure beats paying $654 for the brand new one from kettler.. haa.. maybe i try to monitor then contact the person after the auction close to try to buy from him cheaper?? hahaa unless anyone out there reading my blog has a weight lifting bench that looks similar to the one i need can sell me below $100 please contact me!! =]

not the nicest around but fits the bill!

hahaa just came back from driving!! wah... today so so so much better than last week.. maybe coz i got the same nice instructor as before... felt more comfortable and drove to ubi so i knew the way le mah... instead of turn here turn there... bleahzz... alot more improvement to my pre-melbourne standard.. woohoo! self esteem level up!! whee... now still abit high... but then gotta do econs tutorial plus my bio practical report... hahaa must chiong the report so that can dont need to go schol on friday!! muhahaaa... first rest day in my NUS life!! ok ok... faster upload photos then do tutorial le...

wah today another of those super stressed days.. just feeling really lousy and pathetic as i find myself lost as people around me seem to accelerate so fast... its just saddening that in university those that accelerate fast arent as keen to help the laggers as in JC times... its all about bell curve huhz.. compeition... where self comes above all else... the only person you can depend on in uni i guess is yourself...

spent alot of time worrying over my chem practical report as others seem soooo good and well done that i feel pressured and all.. spent some time in the library after lessons trying to look through.. but after some time i realised the more i strained myself to beef it up the more disorderly my report became.. though i did get some good input for my report from reading the references in the end it didnt change much really.. though many times i find that i dont know as much as others.. i think its also good to not complicate one's own life... =D i guess i'm lazy?? owells..

once i hit saturation point i went to PS to check out the kettler shop... been waiting to buy a bench for bench press since i came back from melbourne and was shocked to find out that the bench and stand set costs $645 AFTER discount.. omg... when i got home i quickly went to check yahoo auctions and found some unbranded ones at $200++ and second hand bad condition ones at $100++ haiz... so sad... was hoping it'll be below $100 so i can buy without feeling the pinch... but.. haiz.... there goes my bench press dreams...

i really think school aint that stressful but somehow im stressing myself out alot.. haiz... hate this feeling.. i wanna be free!!

woohoo!! mug mug mug.. erh.. not really lar... more like TRY to mug TRY to mug TRY to mug.. hahaa.. damnzzz... ok tutorials have started... and they are so damn simplifed i was shocked.. hahaa.. first tutorial so whack alot of info and stress alot but turned out like so easy when the tutors went through with us... btw ALL my tutors are foreigners.. lolx.. omg.. i learning how to understand china and india accents le.. =p

most of the fun came on friday and saturday... friday after practical i went to holland village to meet the greenies after a long absence to cerebrate wilsons birthday!! bought him a zara shirt i painstakingly chose at vivocity.. hahaa.. hope he likes it.. he treat us to dinner at crystal jade la mien followed by drinks at eski bar! hahaa.. so shiok lor.. so long nv got treat le.. whee!! thanks wilson!! didnt hang ard long though as i had biobiz 07 the next morning so i left about 11pm lidat..

we're COOL!! at -5 degrees celsius!!

slept barely 4 hours then headed back to buona vista mrt again... was my first visit to biopolis and i was prety excited.. went there 30min earlier than expected so went there to explore and have breakfast... after that raphael came and we attend the seminar together with my new practical fren lin ming.. was a really long event with many talks and symposiums.. had its share of good talks and inspiring speeches but also bad and useless talks... was kinda dissapointed due to the latter as i heard from raf that last years was much better.. but the best take home was probably the knowledge and change in paradigm of my 'pre-designated' future to a myriad of options plus all the players in the industry.. woohoo!! pumped up!!

after that went to city hall mrt and shopped alittle at raffles city while waiting for the others for dnd 07!! as expected the gals were late thanks to pamela so as promised pamela has to treat us!! haahaaa surprisingly she was unhesitant and agreed!! omg.. must be a rich gal.. hahaa we then went to carlton for our dnd.. raf was alittle down at first as he felt that we were 'underdressed' hahaa.. yeah i admit got people wear until very nice.. but well i think its all about self confidence yup! hahaa... the dnd was pretty ok... dinner wasnt too fantastic and there was no dance save for a weird opening performance.. but the main highlight turned out to be the pageant as the contestants did cat walks and all to win votes..

hahaa the winners were as i predicted as M4 and F6 seems to have the most supporters around... moses was unique and daring mah.. then valene seems to be pretty and popular.. though i found that F5 and M6 were pretty good too!! hahaa.. not bad sia.. NUS sci got such pretty gals and handsome guys.. its just a pity i dont fall in the latter category... reality just sets in sometimes doesnt it? but well.. its normal for guys to look at pretty gals as gals like to have 'eye candy' in handsome guys.. but in the end... its the person inside that everyone's looking for yup!! so jia you ba!! =D

after that we took a few more pics as i found raf getting higher (probably from tiger beer) and we went onto jeremy's honda accord and we drove around to clark quay... haha had 3 near-accidents and i was especially worried as i sat in front as the 3 gals and raf were talking and having losta fun behind jerem and i were all stressed with the lack of parking space and all.. hahaa.. in the end we parked at central then went over to fashion bar for drinks..

hah tried flaming lambo for once... abit noob but turned out to be sweeter than strong... esp the baileys they poured in later.. hahaa.. but it was a nice and warm feeling ard the chest area... bought long island tea again but was really low alcohol content so abit sianz.. haha instead of buying more drinks we then went to walk up clark quay and down before we decided to go home.. hahaa the ride home was harsh too as we worked together to ram up jeremy's driving experience as we got lost and found our ways.. hahaa.. in the end i got home and bathed and slept at 5.30am// (my usuayl wake up times) loLX!!!

been a really fun weekend... 9 more weeks to exams!! jia you ba deming!! TRY TO MUG TRY TO MUG TRY TO MUG!!! better MUG!!
