After an entire evening of packing... Ta dah ! lol...
Much better like that....
Finally I can see my bed again. =/
Dinner at MELT!...
So... Wilson gave us a treat this posh buffet at Mandarin Oriental.. (for getting his Bonus).. Before the discount, the bill was 500 bucks for 5 ppl!!.. OMG la. That is crazy.. Anyway, the food was good at least!.. Reminded me of the buffet I had at the Mirage hotel in Vegas 4 years ago.. Really comparable! @@ Good food = money well spent.
Dinner at MELT (Mandarin Oriental)... One of the best buffet I have ever eaten. SERIOUSLY...

My room is in a pathetic state right now... -.-
OMG. Feel as though I need one of those MANY mediacorp revamping TV program to make a short visit to my room... Take a look at this messsssss .....
My study desk... Actually it looks okay now.. but, only because I just threw a bunch of files/paper to my bed. =/
OMGosh. What an awful awful sight la.
LOL.. I need serious help.
FYP lifeline.
After the rather successful mini presentation to Prof C. on Thursday, we finally went thru some of the nitty gritty aspects of the FYP report. Its like suddenly, I am able to complete the report. Of course not in a matter of days.. (maybe weeks) but still... its like the first good piece of news I've gotten pertaining to FYP since like.... i-don't-know-when? So I'm happy. yayness.
XBOX IS FINALLY BACk....
omg. This is even better news. LOL. The xbox is finally back after one ENTIRE month with Tony for repairing. Immediately we opened up the BAND HERO set (that was sadly forsaken at one corner of the house all these 31 days), and started Band Hero-ing.! lol. =/ Its fun. Guitars are suddenly boring when we have... DRUMs and MIC.. lol. And this time, the MIC actually amplifies the voice, hence making is more enjoyable!.... The one that I got from China could only register the voices, but not amplify them.. =c
We did not know the drum sticks were just by the side of the drum set. (see the image carefully) .. Hence my sis improvised by taking out these two large paint brushes as the drum sticks.. how silly of us la.. -.-
Ok Thats all for now. GOT to continue packing my room and then start working on my FYPPPPPPPPPP! Yikes..

Sometimes I really wish that my life would be suddenly filled with excitement. Cause most of the time, I find myself rotting my weekend at home. LOL. RT didnt help by taking up my Mon, Wed and even Sat's evening away... Grr... I think I need to learn a new sports or pick up music or something. At least it would keep my mind busy...
Need more DRIVE.
Today is probably a milestone in my little resolution of overcoming my fear of hitting the roads. I drove out to the market to fetch my Mum and Grandma back home. Lol. At least now I know I can make it past the Bayshore premises on my own. YAYness. Hahhaha :/
"Nothing much to update. LIFEless for now. :/"

As usual, my weekend just simply, SHUCKS~~~~~ @@
Ain't weekends supposed to be the best part of the week? Well apparently in Ben Ng's life, that is soooo not the case. Thanks to Mindef (coupled with my lack of fitness), my Saturday evenings for the next 28 days are now officially booked for RT. Gawsh. What a sad, sad life I have. Grr.. And what about Sundays? Well, I was SUPPOSED to study on Sunday.. or at least work on the stupid MATLAB thing.. but..... it appears that I'm not doing any of the two =/...
Job Application =x
Eeks, the whole MAE have already started applying for jobs.... But NOT me.. This is bad... I need to finish up my generic Resume/CV and then start to actively send in job applications. I don't want to be jobless when all my peers start to enter the working world!!.. Gosh. Some say the first job should be based on what you LIKE to do... Others say it should depend on the REPUTATION of the company (to boost your resume or something).... Well to me, its a combination of both. But I'm really not greedy... =/ R-e-a-l-l-y !!
Found this pic in my HP... Lol. If only I could have such luck !
"Now tell me, how do you actually spell happyness ?"

What a weird dream!

DREAM or NIGHTMARE ??
Haha so I had a WEIRD dream last night... Its quite horrible actually. Some might consider such a dream as a NIGHTMARE. =/ Anyway, as usual, it is often REALLY HARD to fully describe a dream you just had, cos most of the time, you can only recall bits and pieces of it when you wake up. So okay here is a brief outline!
.I was on a plane on the way to somewhere.
.Fell asleep.
.Woke up with a severe headache and realised that the plane had crashed.
.Ended up somewhere in AFRICA.
.Could see dead african bodies lying outside.
.Explored around and bumped into some familiar faces from Suzhou trip....
WEIRD right?? I think I'm crazy... Cos the dream got me so excited that I decided to skip my morning lecture..... SIGH. But if I were to psycho-analyse myself, I think the whole nightmare thing was just a sub-conscious reaction to my unwillingness to go all the way to NTU just for that 1 hr lecture. Hahahhs. =/
RANDOM picture!
This pic was taken some time back... at this Sushi place somewhere in Yio Chu Kang or was it Ang Mo Kio? Seriously... I can't remember. Anyway it was meant as a farewell to those leaving for their GIP trip (ZX,XH and HT) =/ Come back soon and play MJ/BAND hero okays?
Back to my "interesting" Wednesday!
Okays so after MISSING my morning lecture, I continued my weird little dream till around 12.40pm.. OMG la. So nice to sleep. =x .. And started some mini revision on Fluid Dynamics.. (If i were to fail to graduate this May, it HAS to be because of this module) .... And then rushed down to pasir ris to meet YJ for dinner/temple visit.
Gawsh.. It has been so long since I last visited the Da Bo Gong temple in Loyang (With YS).. But as soon as I stepped in the temple, I could suddenly remember the steps that I used to blindly follow. Was kinda funny cos YJ was like even more NOOB than myself.. haha. Thankfully I have an amazing memory la! =/ Haha.
We were chilling at COFFEE CLUB when suddenly this familiar face started smiling and waving at me from outside. I was like '=.= huh? Who the heck is this person waving at?' At closer look, it was SANDY!.. OMG.. Sandy from Autodesk!! hahha. Had a fun talk with her... Suddenly it brought back alot of memories from my internship in Autodesk! I really really miss the whole experience. Lols... Awwww. Kays, enough of blogging... I need to SLEEP.. And hopefully have another LONG AND WEIRD DREAM AGAIN tonight.. =/

INFAMOUS "Pants on the ground audition in AI Season 9"
Looking like a fool with your pants on the ground? WTH is that song all about? LOL.. But still it made me laugh... So yea, I guess its FUNNY.. HAHHAH.
FYPYPYPPYPYP....... So the showdown with Prof C. wasn't exactly a showdown afterall..
They say you will meet several MENTORS or 'En Ren' in your life.. I know Vikas was one for sure... And Prof C. is looking more and more like another one of my life mentor... I won't want to speak too early, cos my FYP is still on-going. It just seems that she is too good to be true. I hope she doesn't stab me in the back by marking me down for the project, but so far, I feel semi-assured that she is genuinely FINE with my FYP progress. I still need to master the MATLAB software within 2 weeks though... And I'm going to do just that! =x Yeah. lols

What am I passionate about?
23:27 /
0 comments
Quoted from some forum: Passion is a very interesting topic. 1 favourite question in Interviews is, " what are you passionate about?" I get alot of funny answers from"I am passionate about engineering""I am passionate about marketing"... and so on. The conversation will then go something like this..
Me: "what is it about marketing that you are passionate about?"
Interviewee: "oh, I like to meet people"
Me: "then are you passionate about marketing or meeting people?"
Interviewee: "errr...."
Me: "can I say that you should be passionate about jobs that allow you to meet people?"
Interviewee: "i think so..."
The point is, alot of people are pretty aimless in life.
From kindergarten to tertiary school, everything is planned out. We live in a structured environment that inhibits the growth of our passion. We need to think hard about what we are passionate about rather than jump into a career and regret it after 10 years. It is a tragedy when it happens. You will feel really trapped.So what are you really passionate about? Think about it!

Its true!
^After reading the above post, it suddenly struck to me that I don't really know where my passion lie too!!! Mr. LEE really did well to make sure most of us who could study make it to uni and then earn better money. But its super true that the system does prevent some of us from growing a passion. SIGH. What is my passion? Probably not engineering since there is so much maths.. I know I like dogs.. So.. Vet? Gosh.. Help!
