O Happy Day

Today i was punctual for socpsych. I had been few minutes late the past few weeks, so i guess i feel very proud of myself (smiles). It was a very funny and interesting lecture on prejudice and discrimination and all, and Ms Thomas really was quite funny! Have always loved her lectures. Sadly, today's will be the last i will ever attend. And then later after it ended, few of us were just standing outside Blk 53 and i clumsily dropped my phone. Silly me. Few scrathes here and there. For a moment the vibration didn't work and i was a little upset. But then later on it worked again so Yayness! Went to canteen 1 to eat and discuss our interview questions for socpsych. Many thanks to Jenny for her hard work! After that i went with Syed to the lib to do a lil research for writcom, followed by the radio studio to record some stuff. Dunno lah..just wasn't in the mood; couldn't concentrate, but at least we managed to cook up an idea to work on so yeah. And then i went to eat some more before going for prinmark lecture. Two weirdos came into the lecture today and started taking photos of us. And what a terrible day to be sitting right in front!!! Bleah..

Today's a good day. Enjoyed it entirely. Praise God!

Oh yah. Yesterday was my dad's birthday. I bought him Hugo Boss perfume. HA! He smells 20 years younger and 10 times more successful now! Dinner was at East Coast Tung Lok restaurant. Had a buffet. Had round after round of sashimi, some oysters, fish, lots of desserts and ice-cream puffs. We even had pigeon soup, which was surprisingly good! Haha..out.

Why do i even bother?

My CATS and IAC group members suck. I'm really wondering why I decided to be in their group right from the start. Sigh. Anyway, yesterday one of them forgot to bring something to hand up. So we couldn't hand it up, because it had to be handed up as a group. We've got grace period until today anyway. So since nobody wanted to volunteer to collect it tomorrow to give it to the teacher, as usual, i had to do it. And here comes the part that makes me angry. I have classes of my own and i'm really quite busy today with my journal and all, and as if doing them a favour is not enough. That girl ah, still not happy with meeting me today to hand me her paper. She was complaining about tutorials starting only at 11am so she doesn't want to meet me at 1030am. So what did i do? I had enough already. So i said, "Fine, what if you email it to me then i can print it out for you". My expense - again. And as if that's not enough, guess what else she sent me? She sent our group's powerpoint presentation, so that i can burn it into a CD and pass it to teacher. Clearly, that was HER job. @#^$*% take advantage of people. And then yesterday morning before our IAC presentation, while she was printing out our report (Using my printing paper of course), she claimed she hadn't finished doing our slides. So irresponsible!!! So how? So i had to go bind the report instead of her lorh! Yah..another of my bleddy 2 bucks man. I mean, and none of the other group members paid a single darn cent! Okay, let's do an expense count here:

Printing paper - $2.60

Binding - $2.00

Printing - $0.10

CD Burning - $0.50

My precious time - Priceless

You know what?? Why do i even bother?? I'll be leaving the school anyways, these marks don't mean a thing to me. I can fail the entire course for all i care, and at the expense of their marks too. MUAHAHAHA..i should consider doing this lol..

Out.

just another tuesday...

Okay..what am i doing up so late??

Firstly, i wanna apologise to Syed for coming half an hour late for our writcom meeting. My bad. Shucks mann..it's exactly reasons like me staying up till 3am to blog that cause me to be late for meetings and school!!! Arrgh..later on got meeting at 9am. Better not be late.

Anyway, i did my test for prin mark today and all i can say is i'd flunked it. And if anyone ever asks me how much i got for it, i'll bite his head off (kidding hehe..i'm really quite nice). Ah i haven't gotten my paper back yet so i'll be merciful. And then after the test, i went home for a short while to rest and whilst i was there, i bought me a snickers home-made ice-cream from the shops downstairs my place. Then i headed down to church to help michelle with the laptop. Yah..Michelle and Rachhie bully me..and then when sam tan came it was even worse!! Bleah.. *sticks tongue out at you guys. But yeah, they were joking. And then we had Bible study on Daniel 7. FASCINATING!!! It's like..the end of the world all summed up in one neat chapter!! Hahaha...

BS was fun and informative as usual. After it ended, Angel and i waited for my bro to arrive before aunty siew yuet gave us a ride to jackson market to makan. I insisted on indian food and started whining and dragging people by the sleeve so we all had indian food in the end MUAHAhaha..*chokes* ahem anyway, i had masala tosai, and so did andrew. Angel had cheese prata and plain prata. It was GUUUUUD.. and then we 3 shared a bowl of ban mian and oyster egg after that cuz we weren't full. Then we headed down back to church to coach Bryan on the drums, as well as to jam a while. It was so fun jamming man! Can u imagine playing 'Milkshake' in G and C and popping it up into one sweet tune???! It's....weird. Haha..but i had fun anyways. Yah and then by the time i got home it was kinda late, so that's why i'm only blogging now, after doing a crap-load of CATS and IAC, my two least important subjects. I don't even know why i try!!!

Anyway, peace. I love u guys.

What a week!!!

IT'S OVER!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S FINALLY OVER!!!

Well technically anyways. I still have to do my marketing quiz. Here's why. Yesterday me, nad, maria and char were all stressed up over the stupid dreamweaver and frames and all the cheem stuff and we were all like..just MAD! I mean, this has GOT to be the worst week ever in MCM.

On thursday straight after soc psych at 4pm, we immediately got to work. We sat at the benches at blk 50 there, and we were there till around 10pm. Can u imagine how our butts hurt after that?? Like we were so stressed, and some of us just couldn't get dreamweaver to work. Luckily i've got maria in my group. Genius ah that girl. She was working it out and as for me..well i was running all over the place getting mad..climbing here and there..monkeying around, and even 'trying' to breakdance with evelyn! lol..farni man...and then maria's laptop got some problem..and my laptop broke his neck.

And then at around 10pm, we finally had to leave the school compound, but there was still so much to be done! So we were all discussing on whose house to stay over just to get it done. They nearly went to mine, but alas, we decided on Nad's cos there was FOOD lol. On our way there in a cab, we had a real hearty conversation, and i was really glad to get to know my group members better. I now know that charmaine also likes kailan with garlic and oyster sauce. At nadiah's beautiful beautiful place, we had a bit of tosai and masala, a bit of choc cake, mushroom lasagna as well as rose syrup to drink. Man we had such a hearty meal! Many thanks to nadiah and her ever funky mom. We then got down to business. Bleah...

Mariah spent nearly the whole morning doing just the website. I think she caught the least sleep. As for the rest of us, the most sleep we got that night was only about an hour and a half?? And then in the morning we rushed out of the house, caught a cab and headed for school after dropping nad's mom off.

And then at school, i had to rush that 30% Protools assignment with Syed, then at 12noon we had to present our website to Mr Hv and Mr Liz. Shall not comment on how the presentation went. Quite worrying. Bleah...and then by lunch, i had a gastric and it was so bad i had to go home. Yeah..had a good sleep too...

Overall, i just wanna say thanks to my group members for just being so smart and efficient! It's great to be in ur group. You guys rawk!!!

Out.

i think i've gone mad

i are mad.

yah..i think i've gone mad. Can you imagine what 6 assignments due in a week can do to one's mind?? And not only that. My freakin comp is INFESTED with viruses!!! I damn feel like kicking this 'as-bad-as-sotec' compaq out da window and dig up all my savings to get me an APPLE computer!!!! Seriously! This is outrageous! I've never met a system that ever gives so much problems. I might as well reformat my whole comp and stick with windows 98. I'll bet it'll save me loads of time in the future. But seriously, i'm really so stressed i can feel my right eye twitch! Oh yah, today in CATS class that stupid girl in m group (not to be mentioned) was really just such an idiot that she is. Seriously man. Good for nothing. I had to take her laptop away from her and do the typing! Please lor..i don't mean to be an ego-freak here, but what will the group do after i leave huh?? All of them have english the standard of a 2 yr old kid, and they're just typical business or accountancy student. SQUARE. they should consider putting themselves in a 'Room for Squares' and humour John Mayer a bit. I dedicate that album to them man. Man this week has been stressful. I've broken things, and i seriously have not been having enough sleep. I think i've also fallen asleep about twice this week while doing work on my bed. Really lah. Someone give me a slap please (not literally). I HATE SPYWARE and I HATE VIRUSES!!! Gimme a break. Spare me please. I've really gone mad.

Out.

I broke a cup

I just broke this cup...

Felt somewhat depressed after breaking it.

Isn't it funny that one could be happy one moment and then after a while, just slowly fade to loneliness and then slightly depressed??

Sigh.

Bugis Village

I could almost call today a day well spent. Well, i mean even though there were parts of the day where i was just stoning around, i must say there were a few meaningful things that happened. Like in church this morning, as i sang the song, "Still", the words meant a lot to me. "When the oceans rise and thunders roar, i will soar with You above the storm". And then i thought, yeah tis true. I can just depend on God for everything.

Kay..then after service, i went out with a bunch of youths to eat yong tau fu. After that, i headed back to church and David, Mu and i decided to jam a while. Shortly after, andrew came with bry ong to coach him on the drums. Yeah..so we all played and all till around 430pm. Quite late then go bugis village, cos Mu really wanted to get a bag like mine hahaha. So we brought him there, and we bargained for the bag that once costs $25 to $20. Quite a reasonable bargain if u ask me..i got mine months ago for $29!!! So anyway, today also since i didn't have a younger sibling (i'm the youngest), i decided to 'adopt' Mu as my younger bro Hahaha..little sec 1 kid already got so many funny problems hor?? Haha..well, always a pleasure to help man. But anyway Yeah...

Went home after that, and my dad cooked some pork chops, seafood stew, mashed potatoes, some pasta and some boiled carrots. YUMMMMMM!!! Wow, what an amazing meal. Only problem that was hindering me is my bottom left emerging wisdom tooth. Wisdom sprouting eh?? Hehehe...

And that was..kinda like my day. Of course there's much more to it but it can't all be recorded down. Anyway, in this day i will rejoice and be glad!..for YOU've made my day!!!

Out

Sep 11

YES! YES! YES!

Thx andrew for getting me my John Mayer Room for Squares CD!! Oh man, really appreciate it man. Thx bro. Yah..hope ur enjoying that wallet i got u too. As for aaron, not to worry, i'll get u sth soon too. Oh yah..peeps reading this, pls take note that something new has been added to my material wishlist! Haha..i've always liked the Subaru WRX Transformers robot they sell at orchard cine. Haha..*hint hint.

Anyway, this morning started early for me. Actually it kinda started last night. I stayed up till around 3am STUDYING for my socpsych test this morning. Wah..so tired man. And then i woke up at 7am again to STUDY some more. Eh, i'm so hardworking hor? Haha..no lah, everything was a bit last minute so i had no choice. But anyway, the test went alright. I wouldn't say i'll so super well, in fact i won't, but i think i should at least get a pass. Yeah. Spent the afternoon in the library doing our web graphics assignment. I must say, we were quite distracted, but at least we did manage to get down to redesigning our website. I think it is quite an improvement, and i think it looks fantastic in my opinion haha.

After that i went to thompson rd baptist church to meet up with some of the guys. Met rachel there too. We tended the book store there for a while..well at least the rest of the guys did. I sat down and did two paragraphs of my essay and wow, i feel like i've achieved so much. Haha..gimme some credit la..but yeah, will continue soon.

So yep, that was my day.

Out.

Jonathan Yang

Jonathan Yang

Many thanks for being you. It has certainly been great knowing you and i'll always cherish our friendship. I must say, you're really one of the most sincere and 'all out' friend that i've ever had, and i hope that i had been the same to you too. Today's party was great man. Haha..apart from the good food, we also had fun by the pool. ARRR..i got dunked!!! But who cares?? I had one heck of a good time. Jon, hope you had a good time as well. Hope that your last few days here in Singapore will be meaningful. Spend time with your friends, but more importantly, with your family. I'll miss ya man, but i'm glad you're not going there permanently haha so yeah. Keep in touch alright? Remember, Skype!

Anyway, earlier in the day i was supposed to meet in school at 10am for 'Breakin' the Norm' project meeting, but i ended up getting there at around 11am instead, and poor Ming was the only one there so far. So sorry Ming! Anyway, we did get down to doing quite a nice powerpoint presentation, when all of a sudden, we found out that it wasn't graded. Thanks a lot DB. But oh what the hey, at least we had fun doing it. After that we went for lunch at the atrium, and since we were all bored, we decided to go for a movie! Maria, Yihan and i went to orchard cine, and met fiona there. Tickets were all full out so we went for some drinks instead. I had a strawberry kiwi ice-blend at Orange Julius; it was quite good. After that i headed straight to church for Bible study on the book of Daniel. (Every Tuesday 5pm) Very interesting, and as usual, very fun as well. I'm so glad that Jon Yang came, as this would be his last BS with us before leaving for UK. Then we went to his place for a party!!!

Joy and sorrows

I simply cannot express how much joy I am feeling right now. I have reconciled with my mother. It has been exactly one week of not talking to her, and it was one heck of a killer week! The feeling of sadness, pain and insecurity always creep round your back, and you can't help thinking and hoping that nothing bad happens during this time. Well for me, I have God to thank, for His mercy in not letting anything bad happen to her during this time. I just so glad. So glad that things are better now. Every trial has a lesson to be learnt. I learned, 'Honour your father and mother'. Hopefully I wouldn't have to learn it again and again haha..

Oh yes, do add a 'flower' emoticon in front of your nick on MSN. It's a tribute to the teachers and children who lost their lives in the Russian school hostage situation. May they rest in peace.

Cold War

Wah best...my dad just called me anti-social cos I stayed in my room doing work and using internet. Cannot meh? If not how to do research and ask my friends questions rite?? Damn it man..looks like it's my fault yet again. Had a bad day? Can't pick on anyone at work? Simple, pick on Jonathan lor..cuz he's soft and easy. Oh yah, in case you're wondering, its been 6 days since I spoke to my mother. Yah, of course it's partially my fault what happened, but this time I'm not the one going to say sorry first. It's your fault too you know? Yah. Besides, everytime I look for the opportunity to apologise, it doesn't come, so don't say I'm not trying. I'm at a war to see how long we can last not talking to each other; and like all wars, there is no good outcome, no outcome more valuable than peace. Hey, it's not that I didn't try, I did. You're just making it harder for me. You talk like you're so righteous, as if it's 100% my fault. Well let me tell you, it ain't just my fault. Don't deny it. Don't push it.

Oh haha great. Guess what? My dad just walked in my room again. This time he's looking for the digital camera charger. I'll bet he's also looking for something to pick on me. See what I mean when I say they're not helping me to solve this problem? Just because I use the camera more often doesn't mean I have the charger. I know the charger is not in my room. In fact, my mother was the last person to use it. So anyway, yah, there was more trouble. I told him it's not in my room without searching, because I know my room and I know who last used the camera. But he wouldn't take no for an answer, so he scolded and scolded and lectured me; like he wanted to slap me. Bah! Unreasonable huh? I asked him to go check the digital camera bag in the living room, and he threatened me somemore, saying that if he can't find it there, I'm gonna have to go search for it. Fine with me. Well, it's been some time now, he hasn't returned to my room yet; I presume I was right this time?

Living in this house of mine is impossible. I feel like leaving. And I will, if you would just tell me to. Just say the words...

going places...

Today was weird. I went to so many unexpected places; like before CATS at 1pm, i found myself in Thomson Rd eating lunch with my grandmother. The food was quite good, but a bit pricey. My nice granny gave me $50 as well MUAHAhahaha..love you Bubu (i've called her that since young)...anyway, i rushed to school straight after lunch.

Then after school, i rushed to Hougang to meet Rachel. I had to pass something very important to her before she leaves for Shanghai in a few days. Hougang to me was very...different. Yeah, it's kinda different from Clementi where i live. In hougang, life seems a little bit slower, nicer, more relaxing. I kinda liked it. I felt like i wasn't in Singapore actually haha. And then i walked around Hougang Mall, which i never knew existed Haha. I borrowed me 2 books at the library there. Anyway, like i always told my friends living in Kovan area, that the grass seems greener there. But i dunno, i'm starting to like it there. Hope i can move there someday haha.

Then i took bus 74 from the interchange home. I had the time anyway. The bus took about an hour plus to reach clementi. Yeah.

So that's about my day. Later on went to get some home-made ice-cream downstairs pandan valley. It was ok lah. And then went for late dinner with dad and andrew. Then went homw straight after that, and here i am. Bleah...

Out.
