Studio photo taking!

2012-02-05T21:28:00.002+08:00

Sis's graduation pic at Werks! ...

Haha taking studio pics is always fun.. It must surely be good to be a model (maybe next life I'l be 1.9m with the looks and body of an H&M nudist) ... but ya! Srsly .. It was fun.. Having the photographer telling us where to look, what to hold, how to tilt the head etc... Can't wait to see the end result after all the touch up and all... (:

So its back to work again tmrw~! Awwwwh, got to start finding inspiration at work. Need to have a goal. My team's gonna shrink this week.. and that will only mean more work and latter hours.. FAINTS.. O well.. on the bright side, got to start looking out for the next stock to buy.. Stock trading (those cheaper ones) can be really fun !

"Tmrw's Chinese V'day... Will it be yet another boring work day for me? :C"

CNY 2012 POOOOOOOF!

2012-01-29T16:03:00.008+08:00

So GONG XI FA CAI! WAN SHI RU YI! LONG MA JING SHEN!

HONG BAO NA LAI A~~~

And yup, CNY (at least for me) came and poofed just like that. This year was somewhat different from before though... For one, relatives got to see my bro's wife-to-be and my sister's bf for the first time. And of course, the visit to Darl's house on Chu Er was quite an over-whelming experience too.. In a good way though!...

Ever since I started to generate my own income, the significance of ang pows have changed somewhat signifiantly.. From the kid who craved for ang pows to get that extra ''ka-ching" for wasteful expenses, I'm now this young adult (yes young adult! not adult.. not old adult etc) who considers ang pows as a token of good luck / something along the lines of "Here my dear relative, take this red packet and make sure you come back again next year safely and soundly!"

K enough of my retarded and sometimes weird thoughts, shall now do my fav summary of yays and nays in my life recently! Yayee~

.Have yet to count my ang pow $$ .. gawsh its way over due... Way WAY overdued..

.The two shirts I bought from Marcella seemed quite worth it... Pretty cool taylor fit self-customized formal attires!

.My buddy at work (J.T) is going to leave the company next week.. And at this rate, I will have no more lunch buddies .. :/

.Been improving heaps and bounds on my keyboard/piano playing (at least to me) LOL. Thanks darl for teaching me how to play Cannon in C.. I can't believe how i can spend hours just playing the same few tunes over and over again !

.Had this painful irritating mouth ulcer since Wednesday... Good thing its starting to disappear after drinking some Redoxon. OMG Redoxon is like a miracle elixir!

.Completed my first ever stock trading transaction and made like.. $100 after brokerage fee! Woots! *pops champagne*

.Last but not least, shall wish all dear readers (or without the s) a happy year of the dragon.. Huat a~~!!!

Some AWESOME pics! :

Over at my relative's place.. Hey come on cousins! We can meet up more than just on CNY.. :)

Our annual tradition of taking family pic on Chu Yi every year.. Really fun.. After this pic, its normally time to collect ang pow from dad.. oops!

Taken with Darl over at my Bro's condo unit! Nice wall paper.. but hey that's not the focus isnt it.. o.o

I really like this pic..~ GAWSH.. Should be taken at 112 Katong.. !

Merry Xmas 2011!!!

2011-12-25T10:48:00.004+08:00

Merry Xmas' 2011! ...
Wow.. Just like that, its Christmas again... Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la~~ Instead of the usual Mahjong Session with Wilson & Co. , this time its gonna be with Tom & Co.! Should be interesting and fun... Hope the Turkey and Ham etc turns out good .. *fingers crossed*

Christmas is such a wonderful time of the year... It really is..! The feeling of ripping up the gifts with my immediate family under the tree is simply awesome. This year each of us received more gifts than usual... (thanks to Janice!) Really happy with my gifts.. Seems like as we get older, the gifts gradually becomes more pricey but useful.. In the past, we would buy each other cheap cute stuffs but now .. the transformers and plushies have somehow turned into branded shirts and gift vouchers.. Not that its a bad thing though, just an interesting observation!

I know its still early for New Year resolution, but I have started to do some serious thinking on my new year resolution for 2012.. Last year, I made several resolutions and maybe only ended up achieving 1 out of the many.. So this time, I'm going to do it differently. I shall only make one new year resolution: To reduce my cab expenses significantly. Simple as it sounds, it is NOT easy for me Haha! To the remaining readers (which I know is few and between) / blog walkers etc, happy holidays and have a blessed Christmas!

Quick Update!

2011-12-10T11:08:00.003+08:00

BOOMZzz !!...

Just a short entry today. So I had a fun birthday last week, and now looking forward to an amazing christmas! ...
~It was really really fun playing around with a real piano~

Finally reached that 1 year milestone in my coy, and it will only mean good things from now... Despite losing one team member this coming week, I'm still trying not to get too stressed by soaking myself into the ''Christmassy'' mood!

Summary: Life's good, Life's great, and luckily enough, Life has to go on!!!

Its Christmas? Wait, no.. its something better :)

2011-11-19T16:42:00.010+08:00

Hahaha.. I don't just LIKE Christmas.. I love it! I absolutely do! Whether its the sudden 'sprouting' of nicely decorated Christmas Trees.. OR the wonderful Christmas Carols being played island wide.. OR the hugs and laughter from the surroundings.. Its just so splendid!

So what could be possibly be better than Christmas?.. Hmm well, while Christmas is an awesome time of the year... , FINDING that someone special to spend it with me is even better! (; *winks*

Let It Snow, let it snow, let it snow~! .. I really hope that one day I'l be able to play this carol (jazz version) on my keyboard or piano.. Impossible is nothing, right ? :/

*cheers* to nice Jazzy-ish christmas carol.. !

Now time for some creative pictures done by "you-know-who" ;)

O wow. Very interesting portraits I must say *cough*

Hmm.. So cute... ! Blonde hair rocks. LOL.

First time in USS - Resort World!

2011-11-06T14:59:00.009+08:00

UNIVERSAL STUDIO! (: ....

Finally got to visit USS-Singapore...!

Spent the entire friday at USS! Wooots. (: Was really fun. Rides were fun, company was awesome, what more can one ask for?

Battlestar Galactica.. O.. BSG... I so nearly wanted to try and conquer you (at least the red side of you).. But those scary sounding screams were just too much for me to handle. One day.. I shall do it.. I promise!

Anyway, on a much lighter note, the USS ''trip'' was with SM, Tom and Shufen. Was pretty fun! We took all the rides (i think) with the exception of BSG.. The photo-shoots were really fun, the rides were cool (Got to thank SM for calming my nerves on the canopy ride LOL), and overall a very enjoyable experience!

One of the several pics taken with the mascots!

Alrighty, gotta end off here! TTYL lols.

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart" - Randomly quoted from somewhere...

No 18km run! Yay or nay?

2011-10-30T07:20:00.010+08:00

Ooooo~~ Newton run which never happened. So.. I received this WHATSAPP from Tom in the early morning, to find out that he is not going to go for the run.. Turned out he won't be going for the run because of an upset stomach and lack of sleep. Aww, had mixed feelings upon reading the text! Happy cause now I have a super valid reason not to go and potentially kill myself (jokes) .. but somewhat disappointed cause I was quite hyped about trying for it.. (even bought running tights wth!) haha..

Well everything happens for a reason.. And this may well be a blessing too. Of cos I'm not gonna run the 18km myself .. because.. that is plain crazy. I need a companion else its so boring and stupid.. LOL.
.
.

Taken insanely early.. like 5.45am in the morning.. I was really ready for the run! hhaha AT LEAST, I think I looked ready.

.
.

Had a fun-tastic fun with SM on Friday. :) Started the day with One Day - the movie, and it was really a nice film. I was so absorbed in the plot, that by the end of the show, it felt almost like I've lived through the life of the main lead. :/ Yuh anw, I was quite happy with it.. 8.5/10 for me. Had a nice KTV session + outing after the show. Great way to end the one-week mini vacation! C: You rock!

"Have a relative's wedding dinner to attend to tonight.. Sigh, honestly.. I don't even know who is the relative and how we are related. :/"

One week of freedom! o.o

2011-10-23T13:57:00.006+08:00

FWEEEDOM WEEK~!
So... My company is having this 'Golden Week' next week, and hence I'm now officially on a week long leave! Even though I have NO concrete plans to travel overseas or w/e, but I'm still so ecstatic simply because I NEEDED this break so badly... Felt almost like I was starting to lose control of my life.. And now I can finally use this one week to look through my finances, to settle my IPPT booking, so meet up with some friends and all. =x And with my parents going for their Japan trip next week, the house would practically be left with myself during this period!

KTV Session with F3E IE Folks. Was quite an unforgetable experience!.. HAhha whoever said grown-ups can't have fun !

Pool ~ I think I did rather okay, and even made a successful 'Jump shot' but yuh, guess it was impressive enough to wow them abit.. (haha oops..) but anw, it was fun. And that was all that matters isn't it. (:

-Sigh- Tom and myself decided to bring out our personal pool cue for a professional pool outing, but that was when I realized that my precious cue has cracked! =x Even though I still made the most of it (or what was left of it), I do still feel quite saddened since it was my first pool cue, and now I have to start searching for a new one! or find someone who can fix this for me...

X-Factor audition! This was the one audition that kinda blew me away.. I just love it when someone does a new/revolutionary rendition on an old classic song... And in this case, it was Roxette's "It must have been love" .. This HAS to be one of those classic songs which was programmed in a small corner of my brain after growing up listening to it countless times in my dad's car..!

IT MUST HAVE BEEN LOVE (Roxette)

Lay a whisper on my pillow, leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely, there's air of silence in the bedroom and all around.
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now.
It must have been good but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love but it's over now.
From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out.

Make-believing we're together, that I'm sheltered by your heart.
But in and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your palm.
And it's a hard Christmas day, I dream away.

It must have been love but it's over now,
it was all that I wanted, now I'm living without.
It must have been love but it's over now,
it's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows.

Time's too fast to follow... ...

So, just like that.. I've been at work for already close to 11 months.. In no time, I'd hit 12 months of work as an Industrial Engineer. =x

Despite the horrid presentation I made on Thursday, I picked myself up, and did my best to follow up the project to the best of my ability. I'm saddened by the fact that I did poorly in front of my Boss's boss, but heck! I'm not gonna just sit there and cry about it. Gotta move on, and just D-A-N-C-E on!

Caught "What's your number" with SM on friday night.. Was a kinda last min change of plans, cause we initially really wanted to catch "Friends with Benefits".. For some weird reasons, the cinemas in Tampines did not show F.W.B and so we decided to go ahead with the show by Anna Faris and Chris Evans (aka Mr. Cap America). It was pretty good and had some naughty scenes, but overall, quite an interesting and enjoyable movie. Light hearted, not-so-relatable but still relevant, easy plots.. Probably deserving of a 7.0/10 ! Woots!

Got to rush, for a quick pool session with Tom. At least i'm sticking with my one-post-per-week ! :) *pats on own back*

MmmBop ? ! LOL

2011-10-09T17:55:00.007+08:00

Night out with Colleagues! ...

Hahha.. Was a pretty fun event.. ! After a mad rush to get everyone outta office by 6 (no thanks to Mr. Finance guy who HAD to call me at nearly 6pm), we finally got to E!Hub via cab.. After a short session of pool, we proceeded to KBOX for our dinner + KTV session!!

Woots. It was really crazy... Rachel brought in Brandy to mix with Coke (eeeks!), and together with the bunch of snacks we brought in, it sure became a mini-clubbing room.. LOL. Most of us sung of hearts out, and towards the end, the hilarious scene of a bunch of working adults dancing like teenagers became a reality! What an irony, that the final song of the night had to be.. a super 'Anti-climax' ish song: Mmmbop - Hanson.. HAHHA, srsly? Mmmbop from the caveman era?! hahha.

Latest Iphone Addiction:

Sigh, the loss of Steve Jobs is definitely a blow to the world of technology.. And pretty much explains the launching of Iphone 4S instead of I5.. But yh, I guess its all good for the neutrals holding on to I4 since they prob won't deflate much...

The SIRI function is what caught my attention though.. Seemed pretty cool and handy.

Check this out:

And lastly.. My new secret addiction.. Monster G! ... Together with Hanging with Friends + Words with Friends, my phone has suddenly become a source of endless entertainment 24/7! hahha.. Oops, it's still supposed to be a secret. =x

2011-10-02T14:52:00.002+08:00

Haha, this audition kinda made me LOL. "Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes.. .. " Zzz. Wth ?!

"Oh no... Shine's leaving in a week's time. I guess this is the reality of work. Maybe my turn will come soon too. Maybe.. Just maybe."

Finished with Mizuno Wave Run! C:

2011-09-25T13:56:00.006+08:00

10Km run which was seemingly impossible!

Impossible is nothing..It really is! Even though my clocked timing seem to be de-te-rio-rating, I don't really care! Cause this is the first time that I actually really enjoyed my run.. The route largely consisted of the track surrounding Bedok Reservoir, which is fantastic cause its the route that I'm most familiar with.. (Ran my first 10km around the similar Route too)... Well I felt that I walked less, and forced myself to jog and skip past hydration points. Why my timing failed to improved is puzzling, but WHATEVER, I still get my finisher medal and finisher tee .. Woots!

Me and my Medal Burberry Bear.. He doesn't have a name yet. I guess, I'l name him Beardal.. :o

E-Hub just got more Entertain-FUL~

So on Friday I managed to clear my final leave for the 1st 6 months of work, and it was pretty awesome. Headed to E-Hub with SM and tried out the new X-Rider there. As a kid, I was always fascinated with such 4D rides.. I guess as a young adult now, I don't get the 'thrill' as much, but it was still all good fun .. ! I'd much rather do this all day, than to sit on rides such as say.. erm.. the Battlestar Galactica.. =x

Caught this romantic tear jerker "A little bit of heaven" too. Was pretty heart-warming, but pity I missed the ending portion due to some bad stomach. O well, I did enjoy most part of it, so easily a 7.2/10!

As usual, I couldn't miss an episode of Survivor and new reality singing competition "X-Factor" .. (Both of which are awesome btw!) And this particular audition on X-Factor blew me away.. Yh! Enjoy... Haha.

Mizuno Wave Run 2011 coming right up!

2011-09-18T20:09:00.003+08:00

Gawssssh!

Just came back from my gym session. This is bad. No.. Wait, this is T-R-A-G-I-C. I felt like I ran my lungs out, only to find out that I only covered 5km. 5km..?! Only halfway of the 10km which I'm supposed to run next Sunday.. Haha.. and only less than a third of the 18km which I'm supposed to run next month (Newton 18km run) .. :/ Oh, come on. Give me an extra pair of legs! hahhas.

Speaking of which , I've really got to prepare a good mix of songs in my Ipod Shuffle... :o No more slow love songs kays!

Hahha. This video is really hilarious. That guy is a genius.. Pure genius. And funny..!

Snake, Cupcakes, and Music!!!

2011-09-12T21:13:00.009+08:00

PHEW~~ Gimme a break!

Gawsh, the whole shutdown exercise which I've been handling is really quite hectic! Thankfully the people who I work with are suddenly becoming nicer to me, and all of a sudden, its now much easier to get things done! I guess there might be a 'hidden' reason why the peeps are suddenly so supportive of this whole exercise, but heck la!

As long as it goes thru smoothly, I've done my part and thou shall not TTM ~ (think too much!)

Had quite an eventful weekend I must say. I know how snake, muffins and music don't usually mingle around together, but its interesting how I had to ENCOUNTER all 3 on the same day. K, nuff said.. Lets see pics ! =/

Was walking towards the 10/14 bus stop from Tanah Merah MRT, and was suddenly alerted by a middle-aged man pointing and looking towards the sky. So I looked up at the same direction.. and went "OHMGAWWWD wth-is-that!" The man then started snapping photos, and well .. Of cos I did too! And then he started to call the police etc etc (I didnt really stayed on to see what happened thereafter)..But hey! Gawsh, how did the Python end up there in the first place! If it dropped while I was snapping pics, I'd probably faint.. I think. =/

Just a closer view. Eeeks. My mum thinks I should buy lottery for seeing a snake. Is it even auspicious? idk .. But I guess you don't see a snake on your way home everyday.. Esp so in Singapore..

Was at Novena's United Square (with Louis) hunting for my Keyboard, and happen to come across 'Twelve Cupcakes', a Cupcake Cafe opened by Daniel Ong and Jamie Teo!

Yuh, kinda made a mess at their cosy 'cafe' by the accidental spilling of coffee etc.. But kudos to them for being sporting enough to pose for pictures with us. You guys rock. And yuh, the cupcakes were pretty good. YUMs.. If I'm not mistaken, it was $3 per cupcake with further discounts if you buy more.

This was the Red Velvet cupcake. I also had the chance to sink my teeth on the Cookies n Cream and Expresso cupcakes. I remember my sister baking some nice cupcakes some time ago too! Hey Gwen, your cupcakes are nice too, but presentation counts too!.. Next time I'l bring back some for y'all to try!

And finally, my long awaited Keyboard! Haha.. No more pathetic poking on silly Piano Iphone Apps. Well, idk if I will ever play well. But at least for now, I'm happy. And that's all that matters, isn't it? (:

The End

Falling Slowly

Random Rocks

2011-08-31T22:42:00.008+08:00

POST OF THE RANDOM THOUGHTS

Ordered Pizza De France in celebration of Alan's birthday today~ Sunshine fantasy rocks. It just does. (so don't question it!)

Might be playing tennis with J.T again this friday. So.. can I quickly have my only decent tennis racquet back pls, YJ ?? ASAP kays.

I kinda abandoned Chrono Trigger lately. I MUST COMPLETE THAT FREAKIN GAME ONE DAY.. SO CLOSE ALREADY.

To my sister and Xiu, don't be too worried or anxious about not landing a job yet. Keep following what you believe in and eventually you will land that job you desire with no regrets.

I need to update my IPod Shuffle cause I keep hearing the same "Just the way you are", "Price Tag" and "Telephone" ...

Running the treadmill while listening to "Price Tag" is fun, cause I make myself tilt my head in accordance with the lyrics - Everybody look to the left! Everybody look to the right! Can you feel that yeh, we will paint them with love tonight..

Feel like a kid again trying to learn the piano from scratch. I will get to play a grand piano well in this life time. That's not a question, but a statement.

I want a dog .. So badly, but if only I can bring him/her to work with me. If only my boss read blogs :o If only..~

Nobody should EVER make you feel bad about the way you are. You may be delusional, or wacky or just plain crazy... It doesn't matter because its this spectrum of personalities and traits in people which make social interaction all the more interesting.

Won't deny that I'm NOT in the best of mood right now. But hey, I guess typing out this random train of thoughts really made me feel slightly better! Just slightly tho *shrugs* lol

The End.

Super long weekends!

2011-08-30T12:59:00.007+08:00

We all love long weekends.. Right ?
Ok thanks to the recent presidential election (the 4 Tans!), cheapo employees like myself get to enjoy a long weekend which stretches all the way to Tuesday. Well especially so for me, since my boss encouraged me to apply for leave last friday.. Which means.. a good 5 days hols! LOLs, too bad I have no life, and ended up spending the bulk of the 5 days at home :/ Dang!

I kinda dread facing my little cubicle on Wednesday.. Somehow I don't really have the drive to come to work.. Its sad to think that it has to come to this, cause its my first job and I really want it to be more .. more... meaningful? Well, I guess, I'l just live with it.. As I've been doing it for the past decades of my life. (Gawsh that last sentence made me feel damn old @@)

Oh and believe it or not, the long-awaited* b3n's very own Movie Rating is back!

Caught FD5 with XH over at NEX on Fri.. Haha, as with the previous FDs, the storyline is pretty much the same, and the ending almost never changes. =x I guess the REAL reason why people still watch it, is their innate desire to see other people die. Lols, srsly, thinking back, I couldnt think of a better reason to explain why I decided to catch the show. In any case, I'm a fan of 3D shows, and thus will be giving the film 6/10. o.o ... (I'm still looking forward to FD6 though =x)

Haha.. Watched Horrible Bosses with Aaron and the other Ben. Ok it is of pure coincidence that both movies are of M18 content..! But anyhow, it was pretty hilarious luh. For me, it was just one of those no-brainer films which we all love to watch just to get a good laugh. Hardly any romance / mind-provoking plots here.. just funny and mature-themed jokes spread over a star-studded cast. I almost couldn't recognized Jennifer Aniston though .. She must have aged abit. -le sighs- Oh, and before I forget, Horrible Bosses gets a 6.25/10.

*Long-awaited? Yea right!

Feeling of boredom

2011-08-22T22:35:00.002+08:00

Just a quick and fine post today.

Sometimes I can't help but wonder about the purpose of my existence. I do believe that everyone was brought to the world for a reason, and not just to make up the number or whatsoever.

So, could that reason be as simple as living day by day as I am today? With no clear aim or finishing line to look forward to? Well.. maybe? I don't know for sure..

The only thing I know for sure is that procrastinating won't bring me anywhere in life. I got to take control of my life, and it sure got to start from somewhere. ;)

...

On the bright side, I might be getting name cards this week finally! After approx 8 months, I can finally replace the NTU name cards (which btw, ended up collecting dust on my table :/) :o

Chrono Trigger Madness!

2011-08-14T15:59:00.007+08:00

CHRONO TRIGGER ROCKS~

Extracted from Chrono Trigger. My latest addiction LOL.

Seriously, what's there to hate about this game. You have old school graphics (which btw is amazing!), active-style battle mode, cute characters to choose, and along with a great plot consisting of time travels and tonnes of mini plots!..

OKAY~ I know I'm damn late.. In fact about 16 years late .. (OMG yes.. this game was released in 1995) .. :/ But who cares.. ! What matters most is that its fun, and I sure wouldnt want to be one of the few prehistoric caveman to have not played/completed this game. Thanks SM for linking me to the emulator/game ! You rock.

Ok about real life now. I've not been blogging much. I know. LOL. As much as I'd like to make blogging a regular thing, I find myself doing 'more important' stuffs such as lying down on my bed watching TV! lolol. Well, I'l still try to continue blogging to this space in web which I believe "LESS THAN 10 PPL" will actually want to read. But yuh.. I decided to treat my blog as a diary anyway. So expect more random rants from now on! =x Haha!

^My latest favourite song in my ipod/iphone!

"Coconutman? Moonhead? and PEAS?" LOL wth~

"Everybody look to the left! Everybody look to right! Can you feel that yeah! We'l pay them with love tonight.. It ain't about the.. Uh! Cha-ching cha-ching~"

Work life or no life?

2011-06-04T02:12:00.003+08:00

~WORK LIFE = NO LIFE??~

Ooh. Damn... I think I'm really hard to please ! Hahhas. When I first started work, I had almost no work responsibilities and I complained about not feeling useful. Flash forward, now I get work load almost daily (+ piling) .. and I'm starting to feel burnt out.. LOL, guess its a case of "BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR" ..

Oh welll.. Chanced upon this saying : Hard work never killed anyone but why take the chance?

Recently ran the Sundown Marathon with my colleagues (will post pics tmrw cause its 2:20am now!) ... LOLs.. My timing deteriorated. Which kinda sux because my previous timing was pretty bad too? :/ Dang.. I kept finding myself walking and drinking at the hydration points.. Maybe the next run, I will push myself to get closer to the 1 hr mark.. Maybe.. Just Maybe.. xD

*Need a haircut ... REALLY SOON PLS!*

Lazy Weekends

2011-05-15T12:11:00.003+08:00

Beastly o.o ! Woots...

Saw the trailer a couple of times, and felt a need to watch it. :/ lols.. Hopefully its as good as it looks.. *fingers crossed*

Oh no.. Work isn't turning out as smooth as I wanted it to be.. Despite already in my 5th month of work, I still feel really helpless in lots of aspect.. -le sighs- I guess all I need is a re-newed motivation to carry on with life. Instead of looking forward to the weekends/PH, I'l probably need to try looking forward to work instead. Yuh, I know.. Nobody said it was gonna be easy..o.o !

Ironically as it may sound, I felt like I could have used my weekends better! I actually spent a good entire afternoon on a Sat doing nothing, while spending the remaining evening watching soccer + online chatting/gaming.. Ohh.. Speaking of which, MIO tv actually allowed me to watch the EPL-winning match between Man Utd and Blackburns.. followed shortly by the FA cup final.. Woots. Watching soccer without the fear of a sudden lag / disconnection is amazing luh!.. (: Why didn't we just install this before the world cup !

"Every dog will have its day!"

GE'2011 came and gone !

2011-05-08T16:52:00.005+08:00

Singapore Elections 2011 ! o.O

Hmm.. So everyone was all about the GE'2011 recently.. FROM the hype over Nicole Seah vs TPL ... TO the highs and lows of the finalised election results..

Well, to me it played out all quite well eventually I guess.. Since PAP won back Potong Pasir while the WP won Aljunied GRC.. BUT... Hahaha hmm ok decided not to elaborate more on my opinions on Politics, since its such a sensitive topic.. (even on an online platform like this)

On my part though, I was able to exercise my very first vote for a General/Presidential elections! .. Well, it was a pretty interesting experience.. My parents and Brother had mixed opinions about the government and the politics surrounding it. As expected, the 'older' generation was more pro-govt.. while the Gen Y'ers like myself tend to be more inclined towards changes and non-conformity... (hope there's such a word! :/)

Source Code?!

So.. Watched Source Code with SM over at NEX.. (last weekend i think) I really did enjoy the movie.. Firstly, cause it was thought-provoking, and secondly cause it wasn't as confusing as .. say.. Matrix or INCEPTION. The ending left much to be debated, but all good modern movies end in such a way.. So overall I'l say it was one of the better movies I watched. Easily 8.5/10..

"Woots.. Long weekends after long weekends.. Seems like the month of May is a good month.. Labour day, followed by Polling day.. then soon it'l be Vesak day.. Can it get any better? :)"

okkkk.. Work work work, money money money , Slp slp slp.

Lols. Today was one of those day, which i'd rather just put behind and move on. -sighs- I must start to find some enjoyment in work soon.. Else i might as well just .. try to pick up more courses to upgrade myself etc.. :/

I'm not gonna waste this previous short post complaining about work or my ill-r/s with my colleague. Instead i'm gonna try to pick up positives from my life right now!~ Talk about changing for the better huh! :o

1. I now have the ability to support myself without having to rely on pocket money..

2. My work gives me the entitlement of an 'engineer' when I hardly have to do technical stuffs..

3. I got the office desk-bound kind of job that I've always wanted..

4. My boss seems to be genuinely nice to me..

5. I take cab to work, so I don't squeeze with ppl in the morning :/

Lols. ok i feel much better about myself now.. Needs some slp now.. So that I can hopefully cancel (5) from the list above.. xD

When age is just a number, and numbers are just symbols ..

Life Lies and Lemons.

Sigh.. Don't you hate the feeling when a friend decides to ignore you and you just can't do much about it? Well such thing happens ALOT to me, and I often find it difficult to handle such situations. While I do not want to sit back and do nothing, I know (from experience) that my style of interfering will probably result to a worse conclusion. :( Sometimes you'd wish an apology would do the trick. But no.. Sometimes, a 5-letter word just ain't enough... *le sighs*

When work is tough enough, you still have to handle personal r/s.

So.. Working can be challenging.. Tough.. and sometimes even stressful. But what can be worst than to have a colleague who is full of attitude?? o.o Srsly, in all my 25 years .. (be it in Secondary sch, JC, University or Attachment), I never met someone like that... It makes it all the more worst when we're in the same team and have possibly many months/years to work together. I understand how one should put up a 'game face' on when talking to boss / superiors ... But to show a COMPLETELY different side of yourself when talking to a colleague of same level (but of lesser experience) is really unacceptable in my book. I guess, this is what makes human interaction interesting. And I'l only grow to be a smarter and sensible person through these experience. *stays optismistic*

Lyrics from Falling Slowly (from the movie -'Once')

I don't know you

But I want you
All the more for that

Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react

And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me

And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

Life goes on and on and on.. !

2011-04-09T19:23:00.002+08:00

Yesh... Its me again!.. :/

Well. Its funny how life can get so busy yet boring at the same time. While working life definitely gives a certain 'purpose' to my life, it really takes away something that I value equally as much - that is, my SOCIAL LIFE. -.-

Hahas. All my favourite past-times such as movie-watching, playing pool, tennis, table-tennis, chilling out at Cafes ... They all seem so distant now. But I believe it may not be the lack of an active social life thats really bothering me... I guess , its more than just that. Oh no, where's my confidante?

Work life, as ironic as it seems, is actually getting better! Especially as I start to understand exactly my role and the responsibility of IEs. And, for almost no rational reasoning at all, I decided to find out if Engineering is a White or Blue-collar job. (via Google of course, what else?).. And the result did not seem conclusive. It seems like Engineering is one of those professions that happen to lie in the grey area of things .. And it seems that Engineers ain't the only victims. Other grey coloured collar jobs include: Pilots, IT Analysts, Stock Brokers etc..

In any case, it doesn't really matter right? White, blue, pink or whatever.... As long as you like what you do and the job pays well enough, that's all that matters right! And moreover, we can always dress up for the job that we'd like to be in. (even if the job you're currently in don't require you to do so!)

Let it rip!

2011-03-29T16:05:00.005+08:00

So I was at the bus stop, otw home after visiting the Marine Parade neighborhood clinic...

And this young primary school boy dumped his bag (and jacket) on the seat where I was... Then hurried off with his BEY BLADE toy set. To be honest I never understood the concept of this top-spinning game. My idea of BEY BLADE was just an over-complicated exaggeration of a simple "Let's spin and see who's top can spin longer" game. :X Then I started to think to myself.. Hmm ok maybe its more than just a test of strength / better tops. There might be MECHANICS involved :o Yuh.. Like modification of minor parts .. or design optimization to ensure maximum angular momentum or something like that.. EHHHHH. Ok thats enough of Bey Blade lols. :/

Search for the SOUL~~ (not Se-oul!)

Hmmm.. So again I started to have thoughts about my future. Is this what I really want? Do I have the capacity to fly higher? So many doubts.. Too many insecurities.. Somehow it feels like something is missing in my life. Something needs to change in my life. Soon. :X

BORN THIS WAY!

2011-03-20T14:11:00.009+08:00

Hey look, another blog entry!.. ^^
Hi .. again!.. :/ Just like that, another week flew past.. And I'm approaching the end of my 4th month in GF! While the $$ factor is good and making my bank accounts feel happy, the stress and expectations of work is piling up aka the 'snowball' effect. :X Fast approaching my very own "BOTTLE-NECK" .. ewww.

This week was pretty good though. On Thursday attended a day-long training on Wafer-processing over at Fab 2 in Woodlands. And on Friday, I was able to clear half-day leave and used it rather well.

The training course on Thurs was a pretty fun course since we had to visualize the manufacturing process via the use of Agar-Agar! (some edible jelly thing, lols)..

This was how it looked like:

Looks yummy? Ikr.. :/ Resembled some nonya kueh of some sort.. lols.

And the inside looked like this. Ehh but I can't quite remember what those things inside are supposed to represent.. lols oops.

Yuh.. and then on Friday.. I got to catch.. RANGO~~ lols. (yes, the movie about that Techo-lookalike lizard :/)

Well.. The movie was just so-so... It did , however, had a story line and WASN'T just about a silly lizard escaping from a hawk (thank goodness!)... It got a little boring in-between and sadly it failed to really make me laugh much.. And for that reason, it probably won't get anything higher than a 6.0 / 10 from me.. Not like anyone would care much about my rating, but I'm just gonna do it cause i feel like it.. LOLS! WELCOME TO MY WORLD.

Got to really thank Plush SM for the company that day~

And finally.. Gonna end off with this SICK lady gaga MV, that sparked controversy (as usual). Born this way !

Chorus goes like:

"I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way"

My department Peeps.. (as of February 2011) You guys rock!

Okays.. I'm kinda too tired and lazy to blog about my life today.. So i'l just share this article that i found really interesting with everyone!.. (not to mention that it's about engineers LOL)

http://therealfakentu.blogspot.com/2011/02/girls-get-yourself-engineer-as-ideal.html?spref=fb

^Yea, go there and read this entry.. Its super hilarious.. Hhahas and true to a certain extent (don't hate me if you're a business or arts student :x).... Credits to SM for sharing the post.

*poooooofs*

Blog-reviving attempt 1 !

2011-03-02T20:34:00.003+08:00

I'm Back! .... (for now!)

Booomz! Thanks to Plushica SM.. I decided to give my blog a chance of a come-back! OMG .. lols. Whether or not it's gonna sustain is a different thing though.. EEEKS! .. Probably one entry per week sounds good? Does anyone know if IPHONE HAS A BLOGGER APP ?? That would be like, super convenient luh.. =/

Anyway i'm going to practise my GP (Stands for General Paper, not Grand Prix -.-) SUMMARY SKILLS by attempting to summarize what has happened to my life for the past, erm... half-a-year? =x Here it goes..

1. Continued to slack after Japan Trip.. Mainly spent time in my secret virtual world *cough*

2. Finally started to seek for a job and went for some interesting interviews :x

3. Landed a job with GF as an Industrial Engineer :x

4. Acclimatizing to work life C:

K, gotta poof for now. Can't believe I just posted an ENTRY. like, wow!

My Imaginary fav pet dog, Chuchu.. *pats Chuchu*

BACK again!

2010-07-29T18:41:00.010+08:00

Ok this blog was dead. AND I'm here to revive it!!! lols..

OMG.. last update was before my grad trip!... Ok I'm going to spam this post with pictures so be prepared!
.

.
.
Grad Trip (Japan)
Here are some pics taken during my Graduation Trip in Japan! =/ We visited mainly central Japan, namely Tokyo / Kyoto / Nara / Osaka .... Travelling abroad is always fun. Loved the experience of travelling with friends! Freedom much? :D

Hahha. We somehow managed to persuade these two lovely ladies-in-kimono to take a picture with us. I think this was in Nara? :/ (pardon my STMness)

This was in Tokyo's DISNEY SEA! Yes omg la, I'l never forget this gigantic turkey leg. We were super hungry and tired after a sleepless night on the plane. =X

YUMMM lar! The drum is the size of my face, like srsly -.-

I don't know what I was pointing at. What a silly pose :/

And this is.. Mount Fuji!... Looks kinda.. postcard-ish? Ok, maybe i ttm..

.

.

Convocation ... The day that B.Eng was CONFERRED to Ben Ng!
Convocation was a big big milestone in my life. Why? Well because I have never wore that square hat before. I never officially graduated from Kindergarten as I cried too much (erm.. thats the past anyway), and so I've always looked forward to convocation. :/ Every dog will have its day!... And here are my latest Convocation pics =/
( Yes you've seen it first here on blogspot. (: I have not even uploaded these on facebook! *cough* *cough* )

Nice pic hor?

Don't you just love artistic shots of something so simple? :/

OMG.. I love this bear. I named him Beng.. Beng the B.Eng bear.. LOLS.

With Yanlin + Wen Hao .. C=

Congrats Chuan and Feng!.. My fellow B32 Alumni peeps!

And here are my Mechatronic friends! Smile Yat! =)

The Marist Connection with Eric + Brendan.. :/ The marist flame died long ago, but hopefully not our friendship!

JAPAN.. here I come!

2010-05-30T14:36:00.004+08:00

I'l be flying to.......... JAPAN ! =)

JAPAN JAPAN JAPAN!
YES. In less than 12 hours time, I would be arriving in amazing Japan. LOLs. Can't wait to get on that plane and fly off again. Travelling is fun luh....... Especially with friends. I don't care about results anymore, this is probably the last time I can so freely enjoy myself with ZERO work/school commitments and I INTEND TO MAKE FULL USE of this opportunity.. =x

EXAM Results....
Results, results. Are they really that important? After 4 years, 8 semesters, is the end result really the only important reward? I won't deny.. I am slightly disappointed that I did not do my bestest for the final semester. But I really think I did myself proud enough. I mean, to get A- for FYP , IA and EID is probably my only pride for the entire MAE course. Courses like Fluid Dynamics don't really deserve any mentioning here. LOLs. ! Anyway, I'm glad its finally over. Time to look for a job soon. I hope. =/
"There is nothing more important than FRIENDS in this world"

Finally ITs OVER !! WOOOOOHOOO

2010-05-12T23:41:00.005+08:00

OKays.. LOTS to update. I realised I havent been updating this blog for really long. It was a combination of STRESS , BUSY-ness, LAZY-ness and erm... a sudden lack of desire to blog. But ANYWAY, i'm back at Blogger and hopefully this will be a long long entry. *to make up for the severe lack of posts this month*

EXAMS disappointment.
So I won't deny it. I don't deserve my 4.25 target for this sem. I had not worked hard enough. I had not worked smart enough. I did not even exhibit the DESIRE to do well this sem. I could come out with a million of excuses for self-consolation but ultimately, I brought it among myself. Robin was right. HOW COULD I NOT KNOW ANYTHING about Compressible Flow 3 days before the FLUIDS DYNAMICS PAPER ? .. Its a joke. I knew right from yr 1 that this was a potential killer module, but yet i failed to do anything about it. BEng. Sux. =c

FYP delight.
I just had my FYP final presentation this morning. I think that one of the greatest irony of my life happened. And it was a good one. Ok.. So whats this irony I'm talking about? .. Well, believe it or not, my moderator for my FYP turned out to be Prof CSL.. (if you don't get the irony, ask me when you see me on MSN ! lols) .. All in all, the presentation ended well, and I'm so glad that my NTU experience ended on such a high note. I'm not saying I'm guranteed 'A GOOD GRADE' for my FYP but at least I feel that I have a chance now. B3n Rocks. :D

Grad TRIP !
Yea. So before the run-in to the exams, I settled tickets for my Grad Trip to JAPAN. OMG. Suddenly I'm so excited to the trip. After the Suzhou overseas experience, I really relish any chance at all to travel around overseas. One's mood is easily affected by the weather, and Singapore's weather shucks. :c I think Japan won't be winter at this time of the year but still, I think it'l be better that the horrendous weather here. :x Anyway I'l be flying off on the 30th this month. Can't wait! :/ lols. On the downside, FIVE STARS TOURS is getting on my nerves. Just let JJ join us ok! Stupid rules can be bent luh....

Job HUNT..
Ok so the recent job interview at Makino Asia ended in disaster ... Lols. I could not answer the technical questions and bascially I felt that I screwed the whole thing up. But hey, I learnt quite abit from it, and I believe I can only benefit from the experience. Come, bring me more interviews okays! I will score! :/

"Ok ran out of things to blog le. Will end off here... =x"

Here is Lady Gaga's Alejandro MV... I think I have unknowngly became a Lady Gaga fan ... LOLs. Oops. ENJOY OKAY!

Huge sigh of relief!!!!

2010-04-16T17:12:00.006+08:00

OMGOMG.. it has finally happened!... The feeling of euphoria is finally back! Er... Well, I finally submitted my FYP report! Imagine that . -.- LOLs.

Morning Madrush....

Lols. The entire LWN library literally went crazy today. Seems as though the entire batch of MAE Year 4 students were printing their FYP reports all at the same time. Thank goodness that somehow I was able to get everything done on time. Eeeks!

And then suddenly it came to my realization that today is possibly the LAST day of my school life. Its kinda sad it had to end up in such a RUSHing manner. But oh well, its actually quite befitting since "last min work/mugging/report-writing" has been the story for the 4 years in UNI. LOLs. And even more ironically, the very last lecture that I had to attend was Fluids Dynamics - the one module this sem that I can only PRAY for a decent grade.

"BTW I have no idea what that picture at the start of this entry even means. I just google-imaged for 'Sigh of Relief' .... Oh and FINALLY, I can sleep without the burden of knowing that FYP awaits me the next morning. PHEW!"

Mini Movie Marathon

2010-04-06T01:37:00.005+08:00

HAHAHA. So I'm finally posting again. And at last I watched some movies. People who know me probably knows that I'm quite a Movie-freak.. So it has been a torture missing movies like 'Alice in wonderland' etc etc. Anyway, I'm back!.. I watched "How to train your Dragon" on Sat, and "Clash of the Titans" today!... So here is my review on them.

Dragon: 8.5 / 10.. I really enjoyed this kid movie. o.o I know .. Its a DreamWorks Animated movie, but still... Lols. It brought out the child in me. Eeeks. I wished I watched it in 3D though. Only 1.5 hour, but yet the simple plot is pleasing to the brain. :/

Titans: 7.25/10 .. Started out boring, ended boring too. But some nice fighting scenes in between? Lols I just enjoyed the battle with Medusa. Aaron told me after the show that the story differed abit from the actual mythology, so MINUS points for that -.- ! LOLs.

IP MAN 2 and TOY STORY 3 coming soon. OMG. Ok back to FYP and Mugging for Quiz.. :/ Till then!

"Had a nice little gathering with Angeline, Dawn and Wilson. Gip suzhou = win. "

Boring Week

2010-03-25T15:31:00.005+08:00

Ok this may sound sick, but i've watched the Lady Gaga's telephone MV several times already. Its like an addiction (almost like The Annoying Orange? - Which I happened to spread to some friends these days)..

Well... ANYWAY.. These are my two favourite scenes from the 'Telephone MV' - Lady Gaga. Don't ask me why cause I don't know! (ok NO.. Its not those semi-nude dancing scenes.)

(1)

(2)

Okay anyway I dl-ed some trailers of new movies via Ovi Store (for free of cos!) and I found a few movies seemingly worth watching. Grr. I hate myself for staying home the entire week. But I guess I'm just lazy. Or perhaps I just don't have a life. I should be actively seeking for jobs now. But.. FYP is setting me back. Yea I know, I'm full of excuses. !! :/

OMG its rainy, and its 3:44pm. Sounds like a good time to nap. CIAO.

"For two people to get together in a lifetime really takes alot of fate. If you are reading, my FRIEND , don't give up too easily cause you will never know if that special fate will hit you ever again" -Benngww

FYP woes o.o !

2010-03-23T21:59:00.003+08:00

Back to blog! :/
Wowow. The weekend was horrible. HORRIBLE. Was working alldayandnight on the FYP draft report, and it was nightmare-ish la.... The worst part of it all is... the fact that I was NOT 100% happy with the finished product. I think I can do much better. But then again, this is just a draft. I'm kinda glad Prof C. gave me that many comments on it. Sad.

Anyway on the brighter side of things, I finally submitted the draft report. Which means, now I can find time to enjoy a little! ... Whether it means more pool, or more movies I don't know. But both sounds equally good anyway. Mmm.. "Alice in wonderland"? "How to train your dragon"?... Lols. As expected, this year is the rise of 3D films o.o ... And I'm so gonna watch them (provided I find the company to.. lols)

E-learning week what?
Oh no.. Its that week again. The STAY-AT-HOME week. Lols. Worse still, there is no tutorials in year 4. Well I'm not complaining. ITS THE LAST 'e-learning' week of my life. I think. Lols.

"I rejected my first interview. Not that I'm choosy or w/e.. But HARD-selling is not for me. srsly."

Midnight blogging

2010-03-18T02:17:00.003+08:00

ok its 2am .. so i'l make this short and sweet!.. Ever since i saw my first ANNOYING ORANGE video on Sihua's blog, I've always had this urge to watch more and more episodes! but no.. I'm not going to link annoying orange videos here to annoy my dear readers.. Instead, I've decided to upload the old school video from a very familar move...-.- BE PREPARED lol. (thanks Manda for linking me!)

"Don't you love those Hyenas....... :/"

Most stressful point thus far!

2010-03-13T18:40:00.002+08:00

HANGINTHERE!...
Hhahas. Ok so I'm reaching the peak of Yr 4 stressful madness. But yet, i find the time and energy to blog. :/ What an irony. lols. Anyway... There's FLUID DIE-namics quiz next Tuesday, coupled with the FYP draft deadline coming real soon... Not to mention, the LT simulation game for Supply Chains kicks off on Monday as well. Mmm.. I guess if i survive next week, I'm basically 50% done with the workload for my final sem..Wow.. ok now that sounded good. NOW I HAVE MOTIVATION AGAIN.. :/

Scandalous Celebs!..
Ok I had wanted to upload a youtube video of the JACK NEO news conference here simply cause I wanted to share with everyone (but then again, who in Singapore havent watched that?) ..

Poor Jack... The more the media reports on him, the more I hear people critisizing him.... Sometimes I hope the whole thing is nothing but a publicity stunt for his new movie, but I highly doubt so. And Ah Nan's reaction made me laugh during that clip. He is really an ah beng la ... =/

Anyway, was chatting with FIO on MSN today and she linked me to this Lady Gaga MV. hahha. Btw NO nudity .. so feel easy watching in your living room TVs ok..... -.- lols. Enjoy.

"Ok now just give give me an interview, and I'l do wonders..... "

Finally another blog entry!

2010-03-09T13:21:00.002+08:00

Lols. Ok I havent blogged for weeks. I don't really know why too. Quizzes + FYP + a sudden severe lack of drive and motication got the better of me. Was suppose to have a mini gathering with Dawn/Angeline/Wilson/Junhao/Vivien /Belinda today, but unfortunately, I have to prepare for the little 'surprise' Prof C. gave to me during the recess week. A 15 min presentation!

Like wth.. I don't even have enough information to present for 15sec, let alone 15 mins! =.= Lol but I guess stuffs like that happen, I have always managed to somehow overcome these sort of obstacles so far in my life, so I don't see why I can't overcome this fyp hurdle and graduate peacefully. YES I am that Optimistic, and if you don't already know from my MSN nick, Optimism is my USP! :/

Rapid Prototyping QUIZ !...
Ok so I drank unlimited cups of coffee last night to prepare for this. And it just ended. Just a few comments...
(1)The CDrom provided in the Textbook is really CMI. Please do a professional one for NTU sake :/
(2)The clicker technology used for the quiz is fun. But don't make us the guinea pigs can? Nobody likes to be white lab rats..
(3)I think I did quite well for the MCQ quiz. MCQ is prob my best friend... :/

"Ok.. Gotta rush for some HRM lecture now. Will update again soon! (I hope) "

Photos and Videos!

2010-02-20T00:17:00.005+08:00

I'm kinda lazy to blog much today... I've been listening to "IF" by bread alot recently and the start of the song goes like 'If a picture paints a thousands words, then why can't I paint you... lallala' ... ok so here it goes, pictures and VIDEOS. lol

I got a little confused over my latest 3by3 rubics cube that I bought from the school's fun booth today. (Yes, the mahjong one!) But after doing some planning in the comfort of my home, I managed to solve it!

Family photo 2010!

Russie! So adorable. Awwwwww.

EDIT: Videos taken down.. Not sure what's the problem with BLOGGER's video uploading. Oh well :(

Huat huat huat!

2010-02-17T22:40:00.002+08:00

$Happy Year of the Tiger.. RAWR$
Mm. Ok I'm back to blog again! Past few days passed too soon. I wished the CNY hols was longer. CHU YI was spend house-visiting... Sis and Bro had dates with their partners later that night, poor me had to go home and recover from that horrible headache. CHU ER was pretty fun. I went to visit the newly opened Resort World Casino at Sentosa!

The experience was quite fun. I managed to try my luck with slots, Baccarat and Roulette! I think I had beginners' luck cos I managed to win quite some bit. So I'm happy. Yayness.

Entrance didnt look too posh to be honest. Got the Genting feel :/ (I'm saying this despite my last Genting visit being at least 8 years.)

Lol. They had this Lamboghini on display ... Some grand jackpot prize or something like that. =x

Lol. This is the lounge area in the Casino. Nice place to take a break from all the gambling?

Managed to take a breather out of the Casino.. Universal Studios is here in Singapore! Woohoo.

Ok my mouth ulcer is killing me. DAMN BIG and DAMN freaking pain. I tried anti-bacteria Listerine mouthwash, rinsing with Salt water, drinking lots of water, and even sprinkling salt on it! All are not working... grr.

GONG XI FA CAI

2010-02-13T19:44:00.003+08:00

First of all, Happy chinese new year to all my dear readers!!!! =/ Gong xi gong xi gong xi gong xi. This 'CAI SHEN' is for you! He will provide you with an abundance of gold. I know you'd very much prefer it in SGD, but you can always pawn the gold okay. Ok end of LAMENESS here.. -.- Gong xi fa cai!!

When will my headache go away?
Yup.. Been having this stubborn headache since two YESTERDAYS ago.. Sigh. Its quite terrible. Even panadol is not helping. OMG. Am I alright or not? Lol. Grr.. I realised that CNYs and Ben Ng don't seem to go hand in hand. Had two heartaches in two seperate CNYs in the span of the last five years. And now I'm actually having a HEADache. (a real, authentic one)

Oh.. Please prove me wrong this time! I'm still gonna smile my way past the next few days regardless of whatever pain my head is giving me. I won't let it affect my new year mood. PAIN PAIN go away! Oh and while you are at it, please DON'T come again another day. =x

FYP stuffs...
Ok I know I'm not supposed to be talking about studies during CNYs... It signifies "losing" or something? So I'l just keep it short and sweet. Prof Carman is happy = I am happy = Higher probablity of good fyp grades. Yayness. Lols.

"UNCLE Steven please come soon. Its almost 8pm on CNY eve and our whole family is waiting for you to come and eat reunion dinner!!!" -B.Eng

Welcome home VAIO

2010-02-08T01:11:00.003+08:00

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 at 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...

I'm in love with FONDUEs.. want one of these at home. =x

"My sony vaio is back! $170 to repair the JET, and $75 for a new ADAPTER... *faints*"

Pre CNY mood!

2010-02-06T17:41:00.005+08:00

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..

Yawnsss

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. :/"

Boring weekend.. YAWNS..

2010-01-24T15:43:00.004+08:00

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!

2010-01-20T23:20:00.007+08:00

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.. =/

American Idol Season 9 is here!

2010-01-16T17:46:00.005+08:00

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

"NTU career fair is coming. Will I be able to clinch my very first job come Jan 28th? =x=x"

What am I passionate about?

2010-01-13T23:27:00.008+08:00

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!

What a boring way to end the hols.. but still!

2010-01-09T20:52:00.003+08:00

Yawnnsssssss...
LOLS. This SHUCKS. I was supposed to have 'plans' from Thurs all the way to Sat... But one by one, the friends who made the respective plans ended up canceling/postponing one by one.. ALMOST LIKE BOWLING PINS. =x

Anyway, I made the most of my boring 'home-alone' experience by watching movies hidden in my ext hdd all this while! ...

And.... these were the movies I watched!

WORLD TRADE CENTER.. OK i have like no idea why i had the sudden urge to watch this.. And only after watching midway did it encounter to me that I had watched this on the big screen before! But like. EONS ago perhaps.. Well anyway, the movie was quite okay! But probably not going to ever watch it ever again though.. lol =x

And then I watched GAMER. Ok now this is a different league from WTC altogether. I enjoyed this movie much more mainly for its graphics! Half the time I thought I was witnessing a FIRST-PERSON SHOOTING game. =/ But still, thankfully I got a DVD quality version for this movie. Cos the graphics is plus point for sure!

Ahh... And then there was Jackass No. 2. I didnt watch Jackass No.1 so i didnt know at all what to expect... And gosh.. This movie is really twisted.. Just plain sick! lol.. I did LAUGH at certain scenes so kudos to that... But most of time, I was just waiting for the damn show to end. =x Eeeeks.

After all the sick pranks from Jackass No. 2.. I just wanted a light-hearted heart-warming movie.. So i turned to 'What happens in Vegas' .. and well, I kinda got what I wanted... I used to love this sort of romantic comedy genre, and guess what, I still enjoy them.... (:

Crazy squeezy photoprint ..... @@

How the machine managed to make me look so girly-like still intrigues me.. But i think its pretty fun la. LOLs.

Aww. Bye to HT, XH, and ZX for 6 months.. I'm sure you guys will enjoy your GIP experience!.. I went for just 14 days and already enjoyed myself, so 6 months? That would be awesome! Maybe industrial attachment might be a different experience altogether but still.... anywhere is still better than Singapore. Oops. HHAHHAs.

Survivor-Samoa Finale!
HAhaha. Ok I know this is super late cos I missed the Finale episodes of Survivor due to my GIP Prelude trip... I caught the episodes on YOUTUBE... and gosh, Russel's attitude at the ending portion really surprised me. He seemed super pissed to have lost to Natalie at the final hurdle. I'm sure noone would disagree that he played a super game but Survivor is not just about making strategic moves. Like life, the SOCIAL aspect of the game is just as important. In that aspect, Natalie won. If I were the jury I would still vote Rus since I'm super impressed by how he found 3 hidden immunity idols with NO clue... But still... Sorry Rus, wish you the best in the Heros vs Villain episode of Survivor next season!

This is the confirmed cast for next season's Heros vs Villains ! Can't wait for it to start!

Bye 2009!

2009-12-31T08:44:00.004+08:00

Recollection of 2009:
So.. I can't further emphasize on how fast time flies. 2009 came and gone, and suddenly 2010 has come knocking at our door. 2010? Just wow la! I can still remember going for the 1999 or 2000 millenium countdown.... -.-

I guess 2009 has been a rather good year!

Internship at Autodesk..
The first six months of 2009 was spent in Autodesk for my first ever internship experience! It was a good experience for me... Super nice colleagues, made good friends, had a great supervisor, etc. And btw, Autodesk ex-TD interns needs another gathering soon !

Personal best semester result in NTU (so far)..
Hmmm. Yup, so after so many attempts, I finally managed to keep my term results to within the As and Bs. Finally NO Cs... lol. I think I studied alot smarter this sem.
Well, I loved the fact that there was no weekly tutorials simply because I usually learn NOTHING from them. =/
I loved the fact that presentations took a considerable part in some of my modules.
I also loved the fact that I was able to attend most of the lectures ! (But not all =c)

Basic Golfing experience!..
Lols. Yup.. Golf was such a significant part of my life that I had to include it as a highlight of 2009! Or maybe its because my life is just so boring =/ ... lol. Anyway, golf was pretty fun. AT least now I dare say I can swing close to 200 metres on a good day... Wished I could be more consistent though.. =x

GIP Prelude @ Suzhou!!
What a way to end 2009! I applied for the prelude with Ayu, just so that I could gain some overseas exchange experience.. And I sure did gain the experience I was seeking! Nevermind I didnt get the GIP-Beijing, cos the Suzhou one was fun too. I had to miss my family Europe trip for this, but I think it was well worth it. At least now I know that I can navigate my way past the Airport Customs on my own. =/ hahhas.

Now for my 2010 New Year Resolution (s)!

I used to WASTE my new year resolutions on growing taller. Yes.. it was really a waste, cos it didnt really seem to realize =x.. lol. So this coming year, I'm going to make several resolutions.. And I intend or hope to, work towards all of them!

.Top this semester's results in my final semester in NTU
.Make progress in FYP so that I can at least get a B+
.Overcome my fear of driving
.Find a good job after graduation

And also...
.Plan out a fun graduation trip with friends
.Start to hold my liquor better
.Continue to hate cigarettes
.Meet up with old friends whom I might have lost contact with...
(I love my friends, I really do!)

"So thats it... Bye 2009, Hello 2010! Happy new year to everyone who read this entry! Hohohoho..."

Results day.. =/

2009-12-30T03:09:00.003+08:00

Lol .. emo pic taken on Dawn's camera.. I know its random..
But i think the background is really nice. I like!

Day of reckoning..
Started the day playing tennis with Robin, Eric and Bernard.. Was quite fun la.. Except that I can't understand why I can't beat Eric. =/ After that was Pool, Daidi and then Mahjong!... Ended the day with dinner/desert at this HK cafe in ECP... =X

Hmmm. So the results for yr4 sem1 was released today. I finally did "quite well" this sem. Got an A for Prof Comm, and more surprisingly, managed to squeeze an A- for my Principles of Marketing... =/ I thought my marketing was going to be CUI after that clueless written paper I had submitted a few weeks ago. Surprise, surprise.. Guess we shd always "expect the unexpected" - quoted from HT. lols.

Christmas Mahjong Session!...

We had a Mahjong + Gift Exchange Session over at my house yesterday. =/ Was rather enjoyable! Managed to complete 3 cycles of MJ... And.. I finally won. LOL. Wilson ended up the biggest winner again, but well, I'm not complaining ! Anyway mahjong is just entertainment. The fun factor is more important than winning or losing! Hhahhahas. =/

Attendance: SY, Corine, HT, Wil and myself.

Thanks for the presents guys. I hope everyone had fun!

Back from Suzhou!

2009-12-24T02:16:00.014+08:00

I'm back again! Wow. 2 weeks passed really quickly. I can still remember myself packing up my luggage for the trip, and now suddenly.... I find myself unpacking that very same luggage le. =c

The trip in general!
Wowoowowoow. Well .. overall, i have to say, I kinda enjoyed myself! It was my first overseas trip without my family. I tend to be very blur during "FIRST TIMEs".. But thankfully I think I carried myself fairly well and managed to form a clique with some friends I met there. (:

(Pictures will be posted all the way below........)

Anyway, in all honesty I didnt really put in effort to remember the names of the various places I visited in Suzhou. I know there was Tiger Hill, West Lake (in Hangzhou), Tai hu lake, some silkworm factory, Stryker in SIP, and Tong li town? I think there was also this place with a famous Pavillion too but I can't quite remember the name =/.. LOL.

The most enjoyable part of the trip would probably be the weekends and OTOT outings we had each day. Our group of six was kinda tight as in we went out together almost all the time .. LOL. (Our group consist of Angeline, Vivien, Dawn, Junhao, Wilson and myself... ) Although it was unfortunate that we didnt get to mix with the other ppl from the class as much as we would like to, I still think our group was pretty fun... There were certain parts of the trip which were pretty much unforgettable!... For eg, the very first 'Hei Che' experience, the part when we were escorted by touters to the secret store, the part when we were walking back to the dome from Scarlet Pub... There are many more but these are the first 3 that came to mind! hahhhah =x

I'm really going to miss the times spent in China. I loved the company, loved the weather, and loved the fact that I was travelling away from home/family for the first time. I miss Suzhou already =c

Important lessons learnt from the GIP prelude trip! (no.. nothing to do with the boring China history lessons =/)

(1) Make sure a female around if you are into serious shopping.
(2) Taxis in China are generally safe (even the black ones)
(3) Just by adjusting the shuttle speed and lens aperture, I "should" be able to take decent shots with a DSLR camera..
(4) For shopping in China: The lowest price is not the lowest until the transaction is complete.
(5) For shopping in China: Fake goods can be further catagorised into the degree of fakeness. The ones which are less fake generally cost more of cos!
(6) For shopping in China: Certain stores actually have secret rooms whereby they store their more 'real' fake products ...

Pictures time!

Me, Wilson and my roomie! (Adil) ... I love the scenic background (:

Me and Dawn... Hahha. I think this pic looked kinda fun. =/ (Weeee!)

Me and Belinda!.. She is really friendly. Very attentive in class, and seemed to enjoy taking pictures of me with her 'moo moo's... =/ hhaha..

Group photo!.. Dawn, Vivien, Angel, Wil, me.. Notice that Junhao is not in the pic.. =x eeks!

Junhao, me and Dawn. This is one of the rare pictures with JH! lol. he is kinda elusive... o.o

This looks more fun than it actually was. Nicely taken shot!

The stingray rollercoaster at the 'Mo Tian Lun' themepark. Poor Dawn and lucky JH for being forced to miss the ride due to bad weather. HAHA..

One of the many scenics pics taken by me. YES.. I am getting better at camera shots. (:

Taken at the Shanghai Train-Station.. This really feels just like yesterday =c

Lovely water curtain ! I forgot where is this place though.. =/ oops...

Exams finally ended............ =/ =/ !
Oh Gawsh.. What a relief. Exams have ended and hopefully I don't suffer any 'injuries' this sem. The modules feels generally okay, as in there are no modules which I really feel I'm gonna fail or something. Thankfully, I got a decent feel that I might do better than my previous sems. I hope my feeling is right, cos the disappointment of another sub-par performance will be very detrimental to my hope of reaching my eventual aim... SIGH. Come on. Please let me see a 4-point-something this sem. PLEASE! =/ lol.
.
What's after Exams!
Sigh. I have yet to start on my FYP interim report. What could I possibly write when I have done virtually nothing yet. =c Sigh. I feel really stressed whenever I hear friends telling me about what they have done for their FYP. Its not like I want to slack, but Prof Carman is literally throwing me to the deepest of ocean, in hope of me finding a solution to find my own way to a safe haven. I'm directionless, I'm clueless, I'm helpless. I guess I got to depend on myself now... At least for this Interim report. =c Got to come out with something decent realllll soon.

Wao. Time flies...! I'l be flying off to Suzhou for the exchange programme in barely a weeks time. =/ Its kinda worrying that I don't have close friends going with me. Its almost like I'm going there alone.... Oh well, got to make new friends I hope. Might be a good thing afterall... Learning to be more independent etc etc etc. lol.

Happy Birthday to me .......... !
Yea! So it was my uh-hmmTH birthday yesterday. Spend my day Kbox-ing and Bowling with Wil and SY.. before ending the day with the traditional birthday cake blowing session with my family. =/

This is the new HP that I'm going to get tmr! Kinda excited... N97 mini!

Here are some pictures ENJOY OK. lol :

Pictures taken at Jewel Box over at Mount Faber ! I love the CHRISTMAS ATMOSPHERE.. The food though, left much to be desired.... especially for its hefty price~!

Birthday Cake 1 (with family). Cake was from AWFULLY CHOCOLATE. Not too bad. Loved the chocolatey taste! lol...

.
.
.
Birthday Cake 2 (with my 'gay' friends! lol =/) . The kbox ppl were super NOT ENTHU de.. haha. All hide behind the door when singing the birthday song. HILARIOUS if you ask me. haha. But anyway the cake was quite big and tasted decent so I'm not really complaining lar.

Been pretty stressed up recently. And evidently my teenage pimples start sprouting again. Eeks. Hate them la. lol.... Anyway of the two papers gone so far, I was kinda disappointed in one, and pretty happy with the other. I guess it isn't the best start that I would like, but definitely not the worst. At least I had things to write for almost every questions..

Got really tired after the QAM paper today... Was supposed to start mugging for ENS and MB103 .... but.. sigh. The recent two papers is really taking its toll on me le.. I'm tired. I won't deny it.. I have to sleep now! I hope. =x

Prof Comm results..........

Ok.. so I made my lonely way to Mr. Kenneth Ong's secluded office in the School of Humanities & Social Science building this morning. Purpose?

- To collect my Prof Comm presentation result from this pathetic box thrown almost nonchalantly on the floor next to his door... =/

So as I flipped among the other papers in my same tutorial group, I had to accidentally NOTICE the grades of some of my fellow ME10 tutorial mates. I didn't specifically remembered any of them, except maybe for my fellow presentation group mates'.

Anyway, I got an A. Which was pretty good I think. Cos I don't remember seeing any A+s in that stack of paper. Well. Apparently I missed my A+ because "I had a lack of interaction with audience" .. Hmm, based on that reason, I felt a tinge of injustice as I did post at least TWO questions to the audience! =c haha but w/e.. An A is good. I was just talking crap. I'm super happy actually.

I can't help laughing as I saw thru the video of our prof comm presentation. I think I looked damn freaking silly la. =c lol...........

LOL. OMGosh is that seriously how I looked and sounded like?

Actually the whole prof com experience was pretty fun la. The A/A- grade was just the icing on the cake ! o.o If only I can get such grades for all my other modules -.-... --> FAT HOPE.

*Watches Survivor-Samoa and then .... maybe to the DRIVING range in the evening!*

Super short entry...

2009-11-05T11:37:00.003+08:00

Wowow. Just got back one half of my Prof Comm result, more specifically the resume-writing assignment. I got an A- !... Which I am pretty pleased especially after hearing from Eric that Kenneth Ong has a BIASED preference for the traditional cover letter format. (over the T-format)

Now I just hope I get AT LEAST an A- for my presentation grade... Probably will find out the full result by tmr! o.o

Liverpool is gone case. Please sack Rafa Benitez for liverpool's sake. W/e. I'm not even a Reds supporter. I just feel sorry for their current plight now =c

.Singapore Idol Results!
The results of Singapore Idol was just released. (like 10 mins ago) And Mae Sta Maria was eliminated this week. How sad =c... I really really felt that she was one of the better performer tonight. Her rendition of "Somewhere over the rainbow" was so much better than Faizal's super weak version of "The reason"... Oh well. I guess, MSM's fan base is too small. And oh, why on earth was Sylvia on the bottom 2 again. Sylvia and Tabitha are like, a class above the other singers. Duane, please go home and concentrate on your O's.. Sorry but I really can't picture you representing Singapore in Asia Idol or w/e... o.o

"Mae Sta Maria".. What a unique name...

.RT deferment Sucessful.......
Ok so I finally managed to defer the phase 2 of my RT. I still can't believe I failed my IPPT again. I was pretty sure I could pass after one month of RT-ing. Oh well. I could blame my chronic coughing, or my sprained ankle, but ultimately, I failed cos I did not have a strong enough will-power. Why on earth did I stop running on the 5th round. Crazy me.. =c

.Hell week.
Wow. Its Wednesday. Mid week! I can't wait for the week to end. Cos basically, end of this week would imply:
(1) The submission of QAM assignment (20% of 3AUs)
(2) The end of the final Marketing Presentation (40% of 3AUs)
(3) The submission of 4011 project report (60% of 3AUs!)
Wowowow. Ok. Thats a grand total 120% ! lol. And considering that Prof Comm has officially ended for me since two weeks ago, things sure look good if I managed to survive this week. *fingers crossed*

.Golf is fun......... !
Yea .. So I was initially freakin surprised when Dean suddenly told us that he was conducting the PC (professional certificate) test during last Sunday's golf session. Thankfully I manage to somehow master my swing half an hour before the actual test. I was consistently hitting over 100 , and close to 150 m with my Irons/Wood. Feeling was kinda high!.. lol. But as it turned out, everyone who payed the $200 would get the PC. It doesn't even matter if you can swing well or not. o.o Hahahs. Last session next week, I'm sure I'l miss some of the fun sessions I had during this 9-week period... (especially the time when I was made team captain for the Putting session!) ..

lol. I think our group is kinda fun. From left: Myself, Nhi, Sihua, Celine and Azmil.

Lol. I must learn to smile more like Celine!

Almost nothing is going right for me these days.
.
I failed my 2.4km run ......
.
I got 2 projects,
.
1 more presentation,
.
and 1 quiz coming up NEXT WEEK
.
I am so tired that I can't last a train ride without KNOCKING-out ...
.
I have yet to recover from my chronic coughing
.
I can't see the light. Where is it? o.o

"Are Spongebobsquarepants and Patrick really gay partners? o.o"

HOPE I ENJOY MY MAHJONG SESSION TMR !

FAME !

2009-10-24T11:49:00.004+08:00

Hmm, went out with HT, XH and Wil (and Corrine briefly) yesterday. WE went to watch FAME at Cine. Wow.. The somerset area really changed somebit. Under a lot of construction now. Almost like it has been bombed recently or something o.o.. LOL.

K-pool !
Wow wow. It has been YEARs since I last visited K-pool. The moment I stepped in K-pool, I can't help but reminisce on the old Pavillion K-pool at Tampines (Former Tampines 1 , for those who didnt know!) ....

Aww. Anyway, the K-pool at Cine is quite ridiculously expensive... I think. Maybe its because of my LONG EXPIRED K-pool member card, or a price hike due to some sudden increase in Pool players. Whatever the case, I still kinda enjoyed playing, cause the songs were nice at least. =x Hard to find people who share the same enthusiasm as me in pool these days. Maybe thats why my skills are deteriorating by the day.. -.- !

.
FAME the movie~~

Yea. Hmm, I thought FAME was so-so only. There were scenes which I can't help but pinch myself to stay awake. But I kinda like the songs every now and then. I kinda see this movie as a combination of ONCE, Music and Lyrics and High School Musical. Ok, I'm sure there are many other movies close to the genre of FAME, but these are the FEW other muscial-type of movies I watched in recent years.... =x Overall, I think it is deserving of a 5.8/10 ! Hahhahas.

"I'm gonna live forever... !.. I'm gonna........"

Most Impt Presentation is finally over! @.@

2009-10-22T11:35:00.005+08:00

"Waooooo.!"
Ok, I just ended my Prof Comm presentation like, an hour ago. I'm still feeling ECSTATIC over Mr. Ong's comments on my speech! =/ When he was commenting on the other speakers, he was like : "oh, i thought so-and-so did very well in these areas. Very well researched, excellent job etc etc etc..."
OMG la. I was starting to wonder what he might think of my part. BAD comments??

Fortunately not. o.o Instead, he started with a 'Wow' ... "Were you a debater or trained in public speaking before?" , ... "You had great interaction, started strongly, you were the one who were very assertive. " , ... "I can't really find any fault!"

My response : "-.-" ...

I know Kenneth Ong is always over-exaggerating... lol, but still I KINDA enjoyed his comments. Made me feel abit HIGH. Hahha. =/

I guess I'l know if he really meant those words, when he releases the results in the next tutorial. Hope he is not one of those hypocrites! Hahha.

Down to my final 2 presentations of the semester (and probably my entire Bachelor's course!) Yayness. ^^

New hair colour again!

2009-10-18T22:22:00.005+08:00

.Morning Golf !.

Yikes. I suck at my WOOD! (Wood is the golf club with the biggest club head. Don't really know how to describe further =x) ... Anw I was like horrible la. LOL. While I'm kinda satisfied with my Pitcher and Iron swings, I can't quite say the same for my wood. My best swing with my wood was probably like barely past the 100m flag. Even my 5-Iron swing is further lar... Eeeks!

I find it irritating having to place the stupid ball on that lame rubber tee using just the club and my feet.

.Afternoon Bowling =.=.

Haha. 164! Rather near my personal best I think. Well, more importantly, I beat WILSON this time. LOL ...... !!

.Solo-ing at Tampines 1 ... =/.

My hair is like dark brown (under sunlight) again! Yup suddenly had the urge to redye.. Maybe I got realllll tired of the brownish highlights... Too yellowish for my liking. Well, I guess now it looks more natural le. Hope I'l stick with this colour for 6 months at least. =//

Before my haircut at Tampines1, I had extra time and soooo I decided to window shop. I've always wanted to buy a OFF-THE-SHELF casual blazer.... Don't ask me why. I just find it nice! It doesnt come cheap though, the TWO blazers from Topman that caught my eye, were like $200+ each. o.o Luckily I had the 300 bucks "commision" dad gave me for linking up Natalie with Jack... That made me more willing to pay for this blazer thing that I could see myself wearing perhaps for the Suzhou trip in December.

Well. After my hair cut, I realised that it didnt look too good on me (after I lost the brown hair).. Hence I dropped the idea. Maybe another time!

OMG faints. I was THIS close to buying this $200 casual blazer thing from Topman today!

OK So this is like totally random. But I love cacti! They thrive under harsh conditions. In fact, the more attention you give these guys, the more likely for them to rot / die. (trust me on this, I learnt it the hard way.. =c)

cough cough

2009-10-17T23:06:00.003+08:00

Lol this week was probably all about trying to get well while trying to complete assignments / presentations etc. Super sian!
.
Wow I almost wanted to abandon this blog forever again... Like seriously. lol.
.
But somehow, for some weird reasons, I'l find myself navigating to the blogger page and start blogging again. Anyway, I had this short meeting with my FYP prof again. This time, I went straight to the point and even asked her if my understanding of the expectations for the project is correct. She nodded her head and appeared seemingly happy that I knew what was expected of me. But .... really? Lol. Hope you really mean what you say.
.
I do miss the IA times suddenly. No assignments, no tutorials/lectures, no need drag myself all the way to the west, and well, alot more.. (too lazy to continue) I feel completely lost in Finite Element Analysis for MP4011....! The lecturer must be thinking he is lecturing a class of white-haired professors or something. Cos he kept going on and on with his complicated slides, almost completely ignorant of the "cloud of HUH-ness" surrounding majority of the students. o.O HATE HIM. lol.
.
*cough* *cough* .... HOPE I RECOVER SOON. *crosses fingers*

Sick Sick Sick.

2009-10-11T23:16:00.005+08:00

I feel like dying now. Sore painful throat, runny nose, lethargicness... you name it, and I got it. Grrr. Maybe except FEVER. But nonetheless, I feel miserable now. All started last night after my RT session. Might be that can of MUG rootbeer i took while walking home. Or that Botak Jones meal I had with my E n S project mates even b4 the RT training. I don't know.. I really don't.... I just know I feel very very sick. FLU ? Perhaps. Currently self-medicating on panadol and flu remedies. If I don't feel well till Wednesday, I'm going to get MC or something. =c

Here are some of the videos, that I'l be using on some of my presentations in the upcoming weeks.. Not sure if it will be viewable. =c .. 4 more presentations to go this sem!

EDIT: Took them off due to technical difficulties!

MB103 Presentation 2 done and over with !

2009-10-05T22:02:00.003+08:00

Marketing Presentation 2.. ~

Hahs.. Yup. I don't think I did perfectly well for today's presentation, but it wasn't too bad overall!... At least I did not stutter, and managed to say everything that I had plan on saying.. Interaction with the audience was better than Presentation 1 too. =/ But of course, there is still ROOM for improvement. I guess its good that I have so many presentations to make this sem, hopefully I'l get better and better at this =x..
.

IPPT Ultimatum.

Ok. So its no longer a luxury to PASS ippt. It has became a MUST to PASS it now. Why? Because IF I fail to pass, I got to go thru the extremely time-consuming phase 2 of RT, which would almost definitely clash with my lessons in school.

Worse still, I might have a GIP-Prelude exchange programme to Suzhou in December.. If I try to defer Phase 2 , and maybe make it up in Decemeber, MINDEF will probably hinder with my overseas plan. So basically, I JUST HAVE TO PASS THE UPCOMING IPPT. By hook, by crook, by w/e.. Eeeks !
.

"Life is not easy !!!!!!!!!!"

Sleepless Sunday ! ~~

2009-09-28T21:18:00.005+08:00

Golf = fun.

I love the feeling when you see the golf ball fly off the carpet on the driving range. It feels better than potting that 9-ball pool, or hitting a strong tennis back-hand shot beyond the reach of the opposition... Its a whole new level of euphoria. Amazing... Going to try out the WOOD next week. Eeeks. =/

Mahjong WOEs... ~

Lol. I lost in Mahjong again. WILSON... WHY are you so hard to beat.. !! Lol. :c .. Well only $13 this time round, but still.. A lost is a lost. lolx. This time, Huiting and Corrine made up the rest of the table. All of us lost.. I think I lost the most though. *shrugs* lol......

Recess week.............

Sunday: Mahjong, Monday: Rest, Tuesday: E&S meeting + Super Networking day, Wenesday: Marketing Meeting + RT, Thursday: Golf practice + ?, Friday Onwards: To be confirmed again. Lol... I thought recess week is supposed to be holiday week? TO catch up with sleep? Guess I was badly mistaken. =/

Pictures.

At XH's 21st birthday. In this picture, I realised I only know Eline, HT, Corrine Lihao, XH and of course, Wilson. In fact those were about the only ones I knew in the whole chalet. Lol! Felt abit weird.

Haha. Not sure if the posture is right. So I asked KINGyong to snap a pic from the back for me. End up, like not bad .. Back straight, hands straightened, right leg heeled.... Guess the only problem now is to hit it further! :x

"Had fun during Mahjong! But all like, very shagged after the two cycles of Mahjong... Getting old?"

Wuw.. Suddenly blogger interface is back to normal again. (Was I the only one experiencing the major UI problem for the past few weeks? =/) ...

Anyway this week have been tiring, but somewhat fulfilling !... Tiring because of the sleepless Tuesday night.. Was determined to finish studying that set of Mp4004 photolithography notes, even if it meant that I was not going to have any sleep.. It did help that the Man Utd champ league game happened to fall on the same night =x Lol. Ended up watching soccer while studying whole night long.... Eeeks!

The fulfilling part? Results came out today, and I managed an A- ! Like, wow. Three days ago, I probably could not even spell out PHOTOLITHOGRAPHY, and now I seemingly have enough knowledge about it to get a good quiz grade. No, I mean seriously, I probably just got lucky .. lol. "Humbleness goes a long long way" ....
.

FYP research student!

I finally had a session with my fellow Romanian Masters student aka Catalin! He's a really nice and funny guy. I am somehow inspired by that meeting. At least now I know that what ANN is essentially all about. Before today, I could not even tell you what Neural Network is (in layman terms). Now I can. Ask me if you want to know ok! Hahas.

Some pics :

I know she looks emo hor.. But super cute. She didn't seem to like me though.... =x

Group picnic photo =/

I'm back again!

2009-09-12T22:25:00.001+08:00

I'm back here !! ~~
Lol. I almost wanted to boycott blogger ... I don't know why but Facebook and Blogger is not working for me recently Hate it!.. Probably due to my web browser or something, anyway the main reason for not blogging is . . . due to my extreme laziness! Lol. I guess today is going to be a long wordy post..... Got some pictures now since HT posted picnic pics on facebook, but I don't think I looked good enough in the photos.. So may or may not post pics today. LOL. =/ "Honesty gets you everywhere!"
...
..
.
Busy School.
Last week was realllly stressful. Stressful daooooooooooo~ Sigh. Actually I also can't really explain why. It was just a marketing presentation. I guess the FYP is making me feel abit worried too. I WILL BE HONEST. I HAVE HARDLY DONE ANYTHING FOR FYP YET. Hope Prof Carman never gets to see this blog lol. But really la, I want to start working hard on it. I want to improve my CGPA. I still want my good honours! This week even more stress lor, got Mp4004 quiz on Wednesday. I still have no clue what Photolithography is about. =/ Cham ar!
...

XH's 21st Birthday! ~
This was last weekend I think. I played overnight Mahjong with Eileen, Corrine and Wilson. It was quite fun la. As usual our jokes got lamer and lamer as the game went through the night... Eileen especially. She can take the entire of 5 MINUTES to make her move.. =/ Ultimately, only Wilson won as usual. At least we got to eat free Macdonald breakfast! Hahas.
.
That was not the end. Immediately after that MJ session, I had to go for my very first Golf Lesson at CCK Warren Country Club! (not sure if I got the spelling of the club right) .... Coach Dean is.. Zzzz. Showing an obvious favoritism for the girl in the group. Yes, we all know she can swing the golf club better than most of us. But still.. We are here to learn ! Lols! ..
.
Hope tomorrow's session will be more fruitful. My target for tmr, is to hit over the 100m mark with my Pitcher Club... =/
...
..
.
YS's 21st Birthday...
Nothing much to say actually. Wish you the best in everything you do ok? Probably won't be seeing you around for quite some time so take care.

Girl Power ?

2009-08-31T00:56:00.018+08:00

I was reading TNP today (Sunday Edition) and the cover page was on this picture of Miss Singapore World. It kinda caught my attention so i flipped through and realised that her pronunciation was criticized by the media/public .. =c See for yourself. I think she wasn't that bad?

Anyway, since we are at the topics of Girls and Public Speaking, I realized that most of my grouping this Semester has at least a Girl (s) !.. Weird because for the past 3 years (5 semesters) , I have only done my group work with guys! (maybe due to the nature of my course! lol). Anyway, I feel that girls in my school are in no way slacker or lazier or w/e. I really do!... I used to hear from friends about how some "flower pots" just depend on the guys to do the work for them, but from what I see, the girls are almost against directly the opposite! In marketing, Sihua is basically the leader and rightly so. For 4011, Heather Smith is probably the most knowledgeable among all. Haha. GOSH, some girls are just so damn professional!
This kinda reminded me. Prof John Heng was super funny last Friday la. Seemed to pick on Heather all the time. Calling her a 'typical beautiful Scottish Lass' .... Claiming to have a 'special connection with her' etc etc.. Full of nonsense la... LOL. Well at least he seems slack. =/ So I'm not complaining.. Not complaining at all. Hahas.

End of 2nd academic week. Countdown to exams?

2009-08-23T17:58:00.006+08:00

FYYPPPP!!!.. =//
Ok. Overall I'm not too bothered about the pace and expectations of my FYP. I really like Prof Carman as she bothers to make it a point to reply all emails promptly, and answer any queries almost immediately. However, its my fellow FYP students who are the ones stressing me. Sighs.

They stress me by ... 1)Visiting the prof almost daily, 2)Asking me about my progress weekly, 3)Somehow succeeds in making me feel that I'm always not doing enough. Haizz. Hate them. Lols!.. (Just kiddng hor.. If you guys somehow read my blog, don't see me in campus and start asking me why I hate you.. =c)

Friday 4011 tutorial...
Haha. I actually got the time wrong for my MP4011 design tutorial on Friday. Was supposed to be a 11.30-14.30tutorial... I somehow convinced myself that it was a 12:30 tutorial and took my time to make my way to school.

Only midway as I was checking for the venue, did I realised that I got the timing wrong!.. LOLs. As I was searching for the right design classroom, this lab technician guy saw me looking lost and asked : "Hey which year ?" .. Lol.. I laughed and told him "Final Year.. I got the timing wrong .. hha." .. Funny. He just pointed to the room and said something like "Wah. You are really very late (or something like that)"..

Anyway, I met a couple of familiar faces in the room, and quickly and stealfully settled with one of the group there. Phew! @_@

Movie @ JP.
Friday afternoon was spent watching 'Where got ghost' at JP! (with Wil and HT) ... Haha. Come to think of it, I didn't really laughed or got scared from the show. =c ... I thought the stories were neither funny nor horrific enough, but I kinda liked how Jack Neo linked the third ghost story back to his 'Money no enough' movie. Coincidentally, among the 3, I liked that short story the most. Overall 5.5/10 only. Eeks. =/

Hmmm, blogger is not working well for me. Can't seem to upload pictures.. Eeeeew.

No more Monday Blues....

2009-08-18T00:21:00.009+08:00

My new IPOD shuffle (3rd Generation I think) Love it !

. First ever PRINCIPLES OF MARKETING Tutorial....

Hahha. So I went for this marketing tutorial today alone...! I was like, oh gosh.... "This is going to be a long and lonely tutorial....." I knew that the first class would probably be for self-introduction and the forming of presentation groups. I wasn't so worried for 'self-introducing' because in NTU, self-introduction usually meant something like.... " Hi , I am so-and-so, from this faculty, and this is my 1st/2nd/3rd/final year...." (end of story) So lame lor.... =.=

Anyway, soon came the team forming part. I looked around and there seemed to be a stable group of 4 on the table on my left. So I was like... Ok forget them... Maybe I should just look at the table where I am. There was this simply-dressed guy and two trendy girls. The two girls look really tight, and so my best chance is forming a group with them + the dude I mentioned just now.

Suddenly, this girl behind me (Sihua) tapped me, and asked me to join her and Azmil. I was happy to join ANY TEAM of course. This was when I heard Celine and Angela (the two girls on my table) starting to panic.. =x Super funny larrr. The guy in white also suddenly walked over to his friends, and .... .... There you go, after all that, our marketing team was finally formed! Sihua (leader), Azmil, Celine, Angela and myself. Hope the team dynamics is good. It sure has the potential!

. TOYs CONVENTION with Aaron, Kenneth, WQ, and Brend.

I don't really like TOYS. I mean. I don't fancy overpriced figurines of lame super heros. (Don't be mistaken, I do have a decent childhood =x) .. Anyway, I just enjoy meeting up with old friends. Was quite fun! After dinner, we went to watch UP in 3D. MY first ever movie in 3D. In summary. I loved the movie. I liked the company. But I hated the 3D glasses! (super uncomfortable)

. Some pictures (again):

This was the wall of Heaven's Loft restaurant. 8th floor @ Orchard Central. Looks quite interesting hor? Food was not bad too!

Wow. XZR actually bought this pair of chop sticks from her home town. Looks so cute larr. Thankssss !

Hmm.. First week of school! =//

2009-08-13T23:22:00.011+08:00

First week of school !!!

Wewww, after 8 months of internship, it is back to the books again. =c

One year, two sems, or to be more precise... 8 more academic months, before graduation! (cos 4months = 1 sem) ... Hmm, anw, no point thinking of graduating at this stage yet .. Especially with so many things to worry about now. Like..... For instance, "FYP". SIGHs.......

So I attended 'most' of the lectures this week. This was made possible as I fixed up my time table to ensure that 90% of my lessons start after lunch... Of cos, there's a price to pay for that. I end lessons after 6.30pm almost every school-day.. =// Disgusting, right?

So far, I kinda enjoy some of my modules this sem. To summarise:

. Principles of Marketing: Love it! .... I feel like these are the sorts of courses I like lor. Fun, interactive and no CALCULATIONS involved.. haha.

. Quality Assurance Mgt: Mm.. I was super shocked to see Prof LIM CHOON SENG lecturing tis course. But so far, I like what I'm seeing. Hopefully things don't change for the worse.. Eeeks!

. Engineers & Society: Ok, so I didn't particarly like the first lecture. Bt at least, it is all about presentation and boring history lessons. At least, that kinda beats "F=m.a" in my opinion.

. Mechanial System Design / Analysis: Eeeyer. The most technical of all BY FAR... But today's lecture was pretty fruitful. Love the lecturer's weird way of teaching.

Ah, and there's Proffessional Communication too. No lessons on that so far, but I guess it should be similar to tech comm ba. =x

Ok. Pictures now. Went picnic/kite-flying with Wil, Ht, Xh, Zx,Corrine, Lihao and Yanyong! Think was about a week ago. Too busy to upload the pics till now! Lols.

Arena roof? Lol. Mm, this was somewhere at the 5th level of the 'new' Marina Barrage thingy.... =//

That little dot is a kite I think. Can't really think of any other reason why I would take such a picture otherwise.... =c

Lol.. This part was damn funny. Laughing out loud as I think of it. Zx bought this $10+ kite, and no longer than 3 mins upon trying to fly the kite, it got stuck at cables on top of the roof. =,= Haahhas.

Hahha. This scene kinda reminded me of my cheer-leading days back at Hall seven 3 years ago. But no, this is no cheer-leading stunt. Huiting was being carried on Wilson's neck, trying to untangle the mess..Haha. Funny. I just stood there and watch lor. Lol.

This was the Agar Agar i was supposed to bring for the picnic. It didn't turn jelly... Arghhh. Frustrating... =c

Haha.. I brought along my hand-made HONEY-GRAZED sliced hotdogs. Skillfuly prepared hor. Lol. HT and ZX also brought along hotdogs... Ended up only mine was finished. Hahha. Oops.

2009-08-03T22:28:00.010+08:00

Ok. First I'm gonna post some pics taken on the SUPER ULU beach / resort at Desaru (M'sia) !.. Haha. It gave me a horrble sun burnt of which is still causing me to peel the skin at my back even at this very moment. =.=

Trip to Desaru!...

Bon Vonyage! Changi Ferry Terminal.

Flying the Red and White flag high. Wait..Its not even Singapore's flag?

Me and Ayu at the tree top thing. Kinda cool hor?

Haha. We are not gays ok. Just good friends. =xx Don't mistaken.

Mr. Sandy... ! (Remember Mr. Snowy?) How cute... I hand created him lar... xD

A meeting that should never have happened? o.O

Not many people know about this, but I'm gonna post it here anyway. I met with ys today. I can't explain how I feel right now. Think she is probably happier now. Should I be feeling happy too? Back then I couldn't afford a car for you, probably not even an expensive pair of glasses. IS THAT WHY it didnt work out? Whatever la. I really shouldn't be saying/thinking about any of these. Because. "Nobody needs anybody to live in this world. " - quoted from XZR (3rd Aug, 2009)

Mini-JC gathering at down town east chalet...

2009-07-25T22:11:00.006+08:00

Hmm. So I was back at Down Town East chalet after a LONG LONG time!.. Haha.

After a long long day filming for the final day of the WSC-camp ignite change FOC, I made my way to Pasir Ris to join some of my JC friends for a bbq/overnight stay at the chalet. :X

Was quite fun playing Taboo, Blackjack, and Dai di (With LOTS of push-ups as the punishment) and just sitting around eating Kiawei's / Jianlong's well-prepared food! LOL. Anw Huijing, Baoling, Shimin, Brend, Aaron, KW, JL, Fab and myself were the only ones present. But its enough cos sometimes it gets weird with too many people around. Hahahha.

P.s: The answer to the question posted in the pevious entry is "e"-none of the above. As the answer is 22. :D

Some random crazy pictures taken on my camera last night:

Can you see "SRJC" ? =//

The crab was running around the toilet after escaping from the pink plastic bag......

Ended up getting COOKED alive. I feel sad too. Haiz, this is life... Just part of the life cycle I guess.. =X POOR thing.

Haha .. I couln't believe I actually got triple-7... Crazy la..! Too bad I only played one-dollar for that game. 7 x 1 = $7 only.. LOLs.

Tiring week ~

2009-07-22T23:52:00.004+08:00

Ok. Question... xD

Ans:

b. 15

c. 20

d. 21

Haha. Tell me your answer kay! According to my friend, this question can differentiate between a A and A- student. =.= (Yaya, so I got it wrong first time.) Go try!

Gi Joe! (Im so going to watch this when it releases.. ) Lol. Idk why also leh, I used to hate brainless action movies in the past. Now I'm like addicted to them. =//

H1N1 Song.. Spread the word!

Kota Tinggi Trip ^^

2009-07-16T21:14:00.003+08:00

Haha!.. My first ever M'sia trip with friends. Was pretty cool, cos throughout the whole day-trip, I spent less than 30 RM which is like SGD $10+ only lor..... Whole transport method is via taxi/public bus. :D

You won't even notice me, unless you look closer.. =.=

Haha. I won't want to elaborate what happened approximately 15 mins before this picture was taken. HINT: It was a bad 'FALL'. :(

Since I'm all wet, Aaron came in to join the fun!

Whole trip:
First we met up at Woodlands and took SBS bus 950 to woodlands checkpoint. After clearing Immigrations, we took bus svc 170 across the Causeway to JB!.. The bus continued to Larkin whereby we had shrug off a ga-zillion TOUTERs who muttered some malay words repeatedly!.. Super irritating la. Hate them.

Anyway, from Larkin we took some ULU bus to Kota Tinggi town.. This journey from LARKIN to KT is freaking long !!! Like, one and a half hour. Gosh. The lousy suspension did not help to make the ride any better..... =x Finally, from Kota Tinggi, we got to explore some lousy shopping mall, before taking a taxi to the Kota Tinggi Waterfalls resorts!... The taxi fare was like, 15 RM.

After the trip, I got so sleepy but somehow still found energy to slack online till 3am. -.- Nowadays I'm really like a walking zombie. Hate this feeling of lethargicness......

My HP was drenched in my unexpected fall in one of the rapids at the waterfalls. I seriously thought i was dead. This was meant to be taken in membrance of the spoilt phone. Miraculously, my HP survived and worked the next morning. Yayness... =xx

Smile with your eyes!

2009-07-13T01:21:00.009+08:00

Wow. So today is my brother's 27th birthday! Gosh. 27 sounds kinda old la.... Darn... Darn... Which means that the 1990's ppl must be thinking the same about me. "That I'm OLD" etc. Why can't I be 17 ar..... =/ LOLs.

I know its kinda lame that I enjoy posting the birthday pics in my blog. But I really think its meaningful when I look thru these in future... I really do... I was trying my best to smile with my eyes...(Whatever that meant...)

I think I should really STOP telling friends that my mum bought a second family car... Cos most of their response will be " Woah.. RICH la...." etc etc... Then I have again explain that it is cheaper to get a small car considering her heavy cab fare to work every morning..... But anyway, I think its pretty cool, cos now I can drive the VIOS >.< !!! LOLs.. Poor sis still trying her best to chiong for her license before school reopens..... =/
So cute la.. So happen that their cars both parked side-by-side today. LOL. =x

Ok .. I can't say that I'm a huge fan of Harper's Island... But I do watch it occasionally. I heard tonite was the 2-hr finale special .... So I took effort to watch it. I think the twist at the end is hilarious la.. What HENRY did is lame. After all that still can expect ABBY to love him and pretend nothing had happened. I'm not exactly gd at impressing the girl you love, but I definitely don't think killing all her friends is a plus point!....

Can't deny it.. They are damn photogenic... Even when they are not smiling.. =.=

Having mixed feelings..... =/

2009-07-02T23:05:00.008+08:00

Haha. I realised that I've been increasingly lazy ever since the end of my internship. So many things that I'm SUPPOSED to do..... Yet, almost none were completed so far this week. I gave myself a self-proclaimed 1-week BREAK. Meaning, no FYP / school / work - related nonsense to bother me this week. But yet, nonetheless I had to settle some CCA-related stuffs. =.=

IA result was released!

Hmmmm. This really threw me into a state of confusion. Initially I was kinda happy cos A- is afterall, a "4.5" in the GPA system... and I have NEVER hit such heights for any of the other semesters thus far. So, I know its crazy for me to feel sad cos I didnt achieve A.... I know.. Its crazy.. But yet.. I felt a pinch of disappointment esp after I learnt about some of the other interns' result. Maybe JS was right, there is no point comparing.. because "It won't change anything"... Like what Mic said... "Kai xin zui zhong yao"... I got to look forward! Perhaps my overuse of MSN caused me my A.. LOL.

Mum's toyota Vios!
Wow.. So the second car in my family finally arrived today. I can tell my parents are really encouraging me to drive this car frequently.. Its almost as if they can sense that I don't like to drive the Merc. Hahas. I give myself a month to drive comfortably on the road okay...? =x

UPDATE!: Tennis, tennis and tennis!
Mm.. Just this week alone, I had 4 tennis sessions!.. With Eric/Robin, with Brendan and even with my Siblings!... Was quite fun. Especially when we counted scores. Lols. Oh btw, I BEAT Brendan 6-4 .. hahahas! Think its gd that I'm sorta exercising nowadays.. I mean, after 6 months of accumating FATS in the desk-bound environment, its refreshing to be feeling slightly fitter once again. LOLs.

Last day as an Autodesk Intern.. (This time, for real!) =x

2009-06-26T22:38:00.009+08:00

So.... Its finally the end of Internship! Awww.... Its kinda weird. Cos I'm having MIXED feelings right now. Happy cos its finally over. But yet..... I get this sense of sadness... Cos the whole experience was really fun! Here are the highlights of my final day in Autodesk...

I am too tired to edit the pictures.. SO enjoy the RAW pictures kay!...
..
..
.

ORD!! Hahas... Yihn Shin seems amused by my white board.

Staring at the air? Sandy is much lamer than me.. Trust me on this. =x

Mmm.. Haha. I tried to look symmetrical but... I can't quite pull it off.

Another pic. With Vikas taking over Terence as the Camera man... =x

Another day has passed..

2009-06-22T17:58:00.008+08:00

Interesting Results! ..

Ok. I know it sounds lame, but I found this CHARACTER-GENERATOR excel thingy to be 99% accurate!.. Its simple!.. Just key in your date of birth, and it somehow generates a list of characteristics about you!. Hahs. Tested out on a sample size of about... erm... 3? And so far all found it miraculously accurate. LOL. Influential in organization.. *cough* ... NOT pretending *cough* ... (ASK FROM ME VIA MSN IF YOU WANT TO TRY OK? DON'T BE SHY)

Aww. Life is suddenly so boring after Gigi left. No more doggy to pounce on me when I return home. No more companion to play with at home (Except maybe for the Xbox). Sighs... Got to start finding interesting things to do! I know I will die of boredom if I stay home and rot during the one month break I gave myself before school re-opens!...

At the moment, all I want is to :
1. CUT HAIR
2. Play pool AGAIN and AGAIN
3. WATCH, like 10 MOVIES. =x
4. Read up on Artificial Neural Network thingy
5. Start my rigid skipping/gyming sessions
6. Play some tennis/table tennis/etc
7. Continue doing friend's "How well do you know me" quiz.. I can't believe how poorly I did for some of them. =/

Oh gosh.. None of those 7 things sound like they are of anything meaningful.. Hmm .. Except only maybe number 4...

Entry dedicated to GIGI.

2009-06-17T22:22:00.007+08:00

I love dogs..... =x
Aww... If dogs were a man's "best friend", then GIGI is as close as to the best example you could possibly get. She is just so cuteeeeeeee la. She recognizes her owners and always find way to catch ppl's attention! If only she was mine to keep.... *Dreams on... * Hahs.. Anyway, thanks for giving me the chance to look after GIGI. Now my parents are more open to having a dog in the house again!... LOLs.

Some pictures taken during the one week!

Aww.... She is soooo photogenic..

10/10 on the likeability scale!

Haha... Unique sleeping position.. I swear I didn't move her at all.. She somehow gets to this position during her sleep ... =x

Last week and a half of INTERNSHIP.
Ok.. I got to admit.. I havent been as enthusiastic about coming to work ever since the 5th of June. The feeling is almost like, when you put in the extra token for the video game knowing that you won't be able to last past the next 3 minutes anyway. =x .. (I know, sometimes it's hard to understand my lousy analogies). But anywayyy, its ok la. Got to try my hardest to enjoy the remaining 7 working days. I know I will miss Internship life ... even after graduation.

I was watching 'A lot like love' on ch5 the other day.. And Ashton Kutcher sung this song, in an attempt to woo the female lead...

"I guess this time you're really leaving

I heard your suitcase say goodbye

And as my broken heart lies bleeding

You say true love in suicide ...

You say you'll cried a thousand rivers

And now you're swimming for the shore

You left me drowning in my tears

And you wont save me anymore ...

Now Im praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl ... !

Ill be there for you

These five words I swear to you

When you breathe I want to be the air for you

Ill be there for you (...)"

Suddenly I fell in love with this song again...........

Lonliness at work...

2009-06-12T09:56:00.012+08:00

Aww. It has only been less than a week since the exodus of YT, Lukas and JS. But strangly enough, it is feeling like as if it has been MONTHS!.... Well, at least NOW, the TD and SW interns are lunching together. Hahs. This was never the case for the past, 6 months or so?

Here are some pictures of my desk. I was really sad to notice the rot growing from the base of the cactus. To cactus: Yao yong gan de huo xia qu , ok?

YT left behind this cactus. If you observe carefully enough, you will notice some rotting starting from the base up.. Sighs..

Suppose to be EMO. But somehow I can't pull that look off. Oh well. I'm genuinely concerned for the cactus though.

UPDATE: Sandy brought Ah Zi home, and kinda re-potted it. Maybe.. Just maybe.. There might be a miracle! =/

Welcome Gigi!

Well. Thanks to Nat :) , I got a chance to look after GIGI for an entire week!... =x I've always regretted not treating Luckey well enough. So its really kinda huge for me to take special care of Gigi. For the past two nights, she have been sleeping on my bed with me... (not sure if that is advisable) But she's just so adorable la.

Aww... I will treasure this one week with you! Love ya!

FYP blues..

Oh gosh. I felt kinda overwhelmed by the FYP session with Prof Carman and Catalin (some Romanian casanova-cum-research student). I know like, nothing about ANN, otherwise known as Artificial Neural Network. Worse still, I can say the same thing about Demand Forecasting. These two components basically sums up my FYP title. OMGz, what did I get myself to! I just hope I did not make the wrong decision to blind-side LCS. Eeks =x.

Adsk Interns farewell - Episode 1

2009-06-05T23:28:00.011+08:00

"Cute poses with the Autodesk logo at the 10th floor! =//"

(P.s: I really found some of the poses to be VERY hilarious! LOL. I'm laughing as I'm typing this. =x)

Today was the last day of internship for Lukas, Yanting, Juhu, Jongshyang and Wilson. Aww, it was kinda emotional today. Haha. These 6 months (of IA) have been really memorable for me! During this period... I met some fantastic friends at work, went for my first ever blood donation, learnt a programming language, broke up with YS, saved up a substantial sum of $, met up with my GP and... submitted my longest ever report! ALL in just this 6 months!

Haha, even though I know my turn will only eventually come in 3 weeks, it really felt as if today was the end of my internship as well la! Sigh. Going to especially miss (1)Yanting aka XZR.... (2)Ex cube-mate: Lukas and of course, (3)Jong Shyang! (who .. just for the record, was the 2nd most CRAPPI-EST intern... Second only to me of cos.. =x)

We had lunch at some coffee cafe @ BIOPOLIS!....

I think this "nonya curry chicken thing" was pretty good! Too bad I had a super-filling breakfast with JS and QY in the morning..... Hardly had the stomach to finish half the plate of rice...... =/

A few other photos taken in Autodesk:

TD-Interns with Joanne ! Qy and I were just commenting on how photogenic Joanne looked. =/

TD+SW interns together! Haha. Let's bury the hatchet between the two departments ok. LOL.

Finally, TD/SW interns with Hui-May and Murtaza! Like a big family.... Hahs, no prize for guessing who is the dad here. =xx

Finally caught NATM2 yesterday. Thanks to GP for watching with me.. IMO, the movie totally deserved a 7.5/10... Ben Stiller and gang did a great job.. Enough to make me laugh, like, uncountable times!... Haha. Love the singing-cupids and bobblehead-Einsteins! The height jokes on "Napoleon" almost made me laugh out of my seat... Overall, I kinda loved the movie.

I don't understand why so many prefer the prequel of this movie. I found NATM2 to be somewhat better la! =/

"Everything - good or bad, will come to an end. This is life, so just enjoy it !" -b.Eng

Singapore flyer..... (part 2)

2009-06-02T23:19:00.009+08:00

Mmmmm. Ok.. So here are the other random photos from the night Singapore-flyer experience over the weekend.

Amazing isn't it? My sis tried her hardest to take nice pictures to JUSTIFY our otherwise futile trip to the Singapore flyer at night. This was one of the best!

Other pictures..

My Sister! Boo....

Celine! Aww. You have yet to teach me German, Catalan and French!

Haha!.. Wow. Had a long day at work today. Stayed back till 7.20pm and had a chance to go home together with my company supervisor AKA Vikas! Was really nice talking with him as I do have a lot of respect for the man. QY and JS might argue that I'm always trying to 'score points' with him, but seriously, it's alot more than just the point thingy. It seems as though every thing he says make so much more sense than whatever thrash I usually speak of everyday. =/ Vikas is more than my supervisor. He is my benefactor cum mentor! Hahs.

"Aww. Intern strength is going to be halved by the end of the week. I'm gonna miss you guys! =( ...."

Singapore flyer..... (part 1)

2009-05-31T22:44:00.009+08:00

Hmm.. Another weekend has passed. I can't reiterate enough times, but i have to again comment on the incredible speed of time. Next friday is the official end of my IA! However, official dates are only for official purposes. I think I'm going to be INTERNING till the end of the month. Well anyway, this was how my semi-boring weekend was spend....

Saturday.
Most of the day was spent sleeping and resting. I was seriously damn tired la. I think the rushing of IA report, together with the effect of watching mid-week CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL live match, took its toll on me. Zzzzzzz. Love it when I can sleep without any worries or disturbances.

Sunday.
ok. So I can't possibly laze around for two continuous day.. (or, can I?) Anyway, thankfully, i didnt!. A new batch of XBOX 360 games came in, and that included Street Fighter 4. Awww. Its noltstagic to see the Kens and the Chun Lis kickin-ass.... But what irked me the most, was how ugly BLANKA turned out. But overall its still damn fun lar. =/

This fatso had me stuck for damn long. =/ Didnt even know there was such a guy in SF..

A hideous-looking blanka. Spoilt my childhood image of the cute green monster.

We also went to Singapore Flyer today! Celine is flying back to Switzerland next week, so my parents brought her there to let her experience it. Me and my sis just tag along lor.... LOL.

Flyer tix:

Taken while escalating:

Most of the other pics taken at the flyer are not with me right now. Will update another time!.... Zzzz

Emotional week at Autodesk..?

2009-05-30T00:05:00.014+08:00

Congrats to Barcelona for winning the Champions League. Yes, those who know me might know that I support Man U.. But I watched the game, and I just can't deny the obvious fact that Barcelona was simply better that night. Having said that, CL's runner-up + a mini treble is a good enough season.. =/

ok.. Anyway I'm too tired to type much .. Lol. THEREFORE... I'm going to dump super random pictures to fill up the post once again!..HAHAs.. Enjoy?

(P.s: The order of photos is completely meaningless)

Eeks! My first ever blood donation process. LOL. One of the most memorable time in Autodesk.

Hmm... Interns' corner? HAHA. Life is going to be fun!

Mickey has somehow, taken over my seat in lab. WTH.. JS!

I absolutely love TOBY!!!!!!! (not sure if its spelt like that)

HAHA.. This was taken during the farewell bbq yesterday! Good luck Minghow and Danny and the rest who are seeking new jobs. If you GUYS are somehow reading this, I'm sure you will go far in life. =D

"I kinda wish IA could last forever !"

FYP!

2009-05-27T21:29:00.002+08:00

Haha. I chanced upon this article of a 2 yr old playing pool.... And being the typical curious singaporean student that I am, I you-tubed it ! (even 'google' made it to the official list of verb) Super cute ... Click play to see.... This is an embedded video =x, UNLIKE the one in the previous post.

FYP..... finish yr prof!
Prof Lim ... I hate him. He has a serious attitude problem. But yet, he gave us a deal that is so hard to reject. I quote from him "Don't give up this chance. Select my project and.. YOU WON'T REGRET IT" ... haha. Weirdd fellow.

I was thankful to have bumped into JM and Chang Pin in sch after the submission of my IA report. It allowed me to know more about another prof and her respective projects. During the chat session with Prof Lee, i was surprised to see my fellow MAE mate nodding vigorously and agreeing (almost pretentiously) to everything that the prof said. Which makes me wonder, is this the same feeling QY gets whenever I talk to Vikas? Hahs. I guess, its like that. All part of... networking?

Champions league final is on tonight! I'm probably going to stay up to watch it...... My prediction? 2-1 to Man Utd! Late, late winning goal probably!

Susan Boyle does it again.. =/

2009-05-25T23:28:00.002+08:00

Click here to watch : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7Ayk9G7-sc&feature=player_embedded (or just google her name, duh.. =/)

Susan Boyle's semi-final performance on Britain's Got Talent!.... I think she did pretty well. I know its easy to conform to what everyone else say.... But its true la. She can , somehow , really sing!... Hahas.. See for yourself.

So Kris really won.......... =/

2009-05-23T00:09:00.011+08:00

Amercian Idol RESULTS....
Wow.. Just wow. The dark horse from AI season 8 (aka Kris Allen) really won! I mean, its not that he is that bad. In fact, I really like that guy. He is super talented and cute... BUT.. Adam's voice has this.. incredible range. Ahh.. Whatever.... Doesn't really matter who won.... Both will probably end up cutting albums anyway........

The thing that really made me MAD was the fact that I knew the result even before watching the evening result show (10pm repeated telecast) !... I seriously thought I was going to be safe after going thru an entire day of:

1. Avoiding looking thru ppl's MSN nick and PMs...
2. Staying away from SANDY in office
3. BEING wary of dubious SMSes

..... Haha.... well.. eventually. Just an hour before the 10pm results show, my mum had to leak the results to me. eeeeks!!!

I received this email today.
(Disclaimer: I'm not sure if its genuine. Do let me know if its not! =x)

Intercontinental is giving free coffee and croissant for the whole month of May!! Print many copies to redeem one per person.This is not a hoax.
http://www.singapore.intercontinental.com/edm/2009/validation/edm.html

Free coffee and croissant. LOL. Yum... =/

EDIT:
Sorry due to overwhelming response over the weekends, I understand that Intercontinental has changed the timing for redemption to 7am to 10am only...

Idol fever!

2009-05-20T22:47:00.005+08:00

American idol final two!

Wow.. watching reality tv shows such as AI really serve as a reminder of how fast time flies. Seriously! I can still remember back then, when I was seeing the Anoops and Alexis Graces impressing the judges. Flash forward, and now its only Kris and Adam. I won't deny that Adam is damn good... but some part of me hopes for the underdog to win. However..... based on what I just saw on TV... The probability of Kris beating Adam is probably lower than the chance of me getting the coverted second upper honours degree .. who cares... I'm still eager to watch the results tmr! I'l kill whoever who spoils my show by revealing the result before it airs on the delayed telecast shown on ch5... ! =x

SAD day in Autodesk.... =/
Mm.. I am still kinda shocked to hear about the termination of Ming-how. Sigh.. He was one of those guys I really liked in office!... Not many of the perm staffs bother to greet a lowly intern (like myself) "Good morning" and "bye" .. But Ming-how did just those. He is just a nice guy la. Nice guys always get this kind of lousy endings.... Hope he finds a better job soon. Oh.. Rumour had it that Mahesh was axed too.. I'm not too close with him. So no comments. hahs. The cruel fact of working life has started to show its fangs. eeks!

Sunday blues?

2009-05-17T12:33:00.007+08:00

Yayness..
Friday was rather interesting. Wil, Huiting, XH and ZX all came over to my house for MAHJONG + XBOX... Lols. We played like.. only 1 PATHETIC 'cycle', which Wilson won (almost ruthlessly) from all of us. I lost like.. $1.70! Which wasn't really as bad the previous mahjong session. So I'm quite pleased .. lol.

Should have booked tickets first...
Hahas. So I finally met up with FIO on Sat. Was quite fun la ! Played some pool and then went to watch A&D at Cathay. IMO, Angels & Demons was quite good. Easily a 8 / 10 .. Lukas told me he found the movie to be 'quite disappointing' ... But I think its because he read the book. It's probably much more enjoyable to watch the movie with no strings attached!.. hahas.

Now I got to spend the whole of Sunday finishing up the IA report.. Sighs.... When will this mental torture ever end. =/

Next up.. Angels & Demons..

2009-05-12T00:19:00.003+08:00

So I finally watched Wolverine: Xmen Origins on Saturday. (aka Vesak Day) After all the funny descriptions about how the unreleased DVD version had the crucial fights in shadowless 2D-sketch mode, I just had to watch it la! Of course the movie animation was complete and almost flawless as you would expect, but I did make it a point to notice if Sabretooth had shadow. Hahahs.

Next up:

One of the main reason why I want to watch this movie is the fact that I have not read the book. Hopefully the movie is better than the book, cos I can't really see myself reading that super thick book any time soon. =X

I'm SORRY FIO~ I don't know how you made me do this but I'm going to apologize to you here since I promised you to do so ! Hahha. =/

Tribute to Snowy... =(

2009-05-10T23:49:00.004+08:00

Tribute to Snowy..
Aww. One of my sis's dwalf hamster (Snowy), passed away yesterday. It was kinda sad. We secretly buried the body somewhere in the soil near the Carpark downstairs. I hate it when pets pass away. I can vividly remember how we refused to believe that Luckey passed away back then. =/

First visit to the Singapore Pools HQ @ Paradiz Centre!
Wow.. Just wow. I'm amazed by how much emphasis our country made on Gambling. lols. I mean, seriously! They had this big room with many rows of chairs, several huge LCD screens with Live Matches. Updated scores and betting schedules on moniters hanging all over. It was almost like a Casino. -.- ... But at least now I know where I can go to bet on soccer matches and stay to watch, knowing I can collect my winnings immediately after the match!..

I need to push myself to write my IA report. SIGHs... I don't even know how I shd start. I believe it is due next week or someth... I really really, got to somehow muster the energy to start drafting that report. lols.
