Back for at least 1 more post !

haha. as the title says it, i'm back, even if its for one post. its about time yea ? been like 5 months since i last blogged.

well, the main reason i'm here is to say a big thank you to TEMASEK DESIGN SCHOOL. had a great great poly life with you peeps around. :)

graduation night was last friday. 23rd may. on a sad note, its probably the last time i see many of these graduated designers. but of course, not to forget that i'll still meet them if we stay in the same line yea ? singapore's design circle isnt that big too. memorable night for most of us. phototaking was the way to go. with most of us either furthering studies, enlisting for NS, heading back to their hometowns or even switching line. i wish everyone all the best in whatever they do. wont forget the times we had fun in school together. all the camps, events, classes( even mix ), gatherings and those errhmmm... crit sessions. hahaha. made a new group of friends every now and then. well, its time to say goodbye to school life, but a big hello to the us becoming adults.

well, too bad i only managed to take pics with the iad peeps. of course i love you guys the most yea ? all of us who have been together the past 3 years, every single of you made a difference in my poly life. those long nights in school, last minute submissions, our model junkyard, material junkyard and more.
not forgetting the peeps from other courses. the moi/imd people whom i know mostly through camp, the few adm-ers who i get to know only in year 3, the vsc guys who played soccer together and the pid ppl who i know the least ! haha. but will remember your faces ya. and even to the seniors and juniors whom i've got to know too. take care peeps. :P

haha, if you noticed, i refrained from mentioning any names in the post cause if i started on one, i would end up naming the whole school ya ? design school is only that big. but strong we stand. haha. -_- enough i know... haha. would love to keep in contact with as many of your as possible. so dont just chuck me in one desert corner of your contact book ya ? all the best guys. :P

Its 2008 !!

haha, yes yes its 2008, things are kinda slow over here. its already the 10th and this is my first post. opps. this is kinda late but happy new year all. we're all one year older.

well, 2008 has been erm, slow for me. i've been in weird moods, sometimes slackish sometimes just feel like doing work. weird weird weird. and there have been a couple of days where i spend the whole day in bed. not a great start to the new year yea ? better buck up on my FYP before i regret.

firstly, lets talk about FYP. this project has been one weird one for me. its so unlike p3 in terms of the way i approach it. i mean in p3 i did work like everyday slowly. FYP for me has been a lot of thinking and thinking. i can spend the whole day staring at my plans, thinking how to do this, imagining how to create that but end up not doing anything at all. then on another day, i can just spend the whole day drafting things out. its not consistent at all. so my first new year resolution is to start doing work for my FYP. haha. hopefully.....

well, apart from that 2008 has been good i guess, spending time with buddies, meeting new friends and more. hopefully i've have a luckier year ahead. last year has been mean to me. boo.. fingers cross. so my new year resolution ? hmm.... just to be myself ! yepps, as simple as that. not asking for more.

Sinful Christmas

Well, sinful christmas is finally over. this is bad, all i ever saw during christmas was alcohol. this is indeed SINFUL

well well well, merry christmas to you all once again. at least i had fun and enjoyed the hols even though there totally isn't any christmas mood at all this year. shall do a short recap of the past few days.

firstly, christmas eve ! the start of the sinful week. headed down to wine company with the guys. well, surprisingly, it was quite empty. some wine before starting on the hard liq. luckily we din drank much. had a great time just chatting about so soo soo many things. topics coming from all directions of our lives. as usual, ended up laughing a lot. oh wait ! i forgot, we did play bball in the morning before heading to andy's house to play mj, at least bball is not sinful !!!

christmas, headed to parkway to get a present for the gift exchange for that day. couldn't decide what to buy, ended up buying a jazz cd. had a gathering at ken's place. the first thing he said was, we're all gonna get drunk tonight. well, played some cards before kicking off the day with steamboat. haha, then in came the drinks. had beer, red wine and ice wine when we're all still awake and sober. soon, the chivas, baileys and martells pops onto the table and there wasn't any peace once the bottles started to get empty at an alarming rate. soon, we got ppl doing stupid stuff, laughing and crying at the same time. i just drank until i felt so sleepy i just slept on the sofa. after which i heard ppl vomitting, shouting and all sorts of things. well, at least i didn't cross the limit, was still sober after a short nap. didn't vomit or anything. yepps. thanks ken for dinner and the drinks though.

boxing day next. i could feel all the alcohol in my body already by then. went zouk with the guys this time. has been quite sometime since alven and minloong clubbed with us. nick joined us for the first time. haha. luckily we entered early. not surprisingly, zouk was full house kinda early. however, phuture was pratically empty, velvet and zouk was totally packed. mambo's music was good right from the start. too bad the guys wanna have fun and phuture. well, at least there's space to dance at phuture for once. well, nothing much, just had fun and danced the night away. went back to mambo after that and the music was still good and going strong. it ended up with only alven and i dancing to mambo, the others like matt just cuided at the table ! kinda sad. guess mambo's just not their genre. haha. was leaving the place when i saw mervin and his bro mamboing away !!! LOL damn funny.

yepps, well, thats about it. i was so tired i woke up at 5pm today. played bball again and it was already bedtime. but i'm still feeling wide awake. and yes, i'll be going on a cruise soon. after i wake up i guess. haha. and i havent packed. nvm, should be fast. shall find something to do to try to make me sleep.

argh, its has been sinful, i hope the cruise isn't that sinful. nevermind, the year's ending. shall be good next year. its gonna be an eventful year ahead. firstly, there's the last run towards the end of FYP then i'll turn 20 !! omg, freaking old ! yes and then here comes NS. well, but before the year ends LETS BE AS SINFUL AS WE CAN BE !!! hahaha. joking, i'm tired, my body's tired, no energy to be sinful mann. haha. have a good end to the year peeps before i see you guys next year. byes !!!

Merry Christmas

Hey peeps ! Bet you must must have been cursing me for not updating, this shall be your christmas gift from me. its kinda cheapskate but its the easiest way of getting things done.

Well, finally decided to put my fingers to work today. Its 3 plus now and its christmas eve. alven and matt are both asleep and snoring away behind me but i'm wide awake. hmm, gonna play bball later in the morning but i just cant seem to fall asleep.

A quick recap on what has happened the past month. firstly, had both critique 1 and 2 for FYP. i must say i've been super slack, only chionging a day or two before the crits. i guess i've at least managed to hit the minimum. i'll get through this stage. if only i've worked as hard as i did in p3, i'll be miles ahead in my work. maybe i should start working harder after this week's break.

and ya ! its christmas soon ! so MERRY CHRISTMAS in advance. well, the christmas mood isn't really in the air but should be still going out to celebrate with my friends i guess. i've never had a christmas date and it would stay that way i promise. at least for this year. haha. and talking about that, i've yet to buy the present for gift exchange for christmas dinner. this is bad. i'm clueless on what to buy.

and before i forget, i'll be away from the 28th to 30th. will be going on a cruise. it'll be my first time though, and i've never ever been on one, and i've totally no idea where's it heading to. but there seem to be nothing much to do on it isn't it ? i dont know what to expect too. haha.

well, nothing much is happening in my life right now. except that i've been going to sch ( not much ), playing mj, playing bball, occasionally club now and then and hanging out with my buddies. basically slacking off FYP. how (un)cool is that. i dont know. feeling emotionless in the past month. getting along with plenty of sleep, so much that i cant sleep now !!! haha. i've been one word, LAZY. haha. thats right ! lazy !!!

yepps, merry christmas all my friends, be it that you're in Singapore, New York or even China. Merry christmas all you santas and santarinas out there. haha. its the festive season and i'm lazy at home. yawns. i seriously should catch some sleep. gotta wake up at 815 to play bball and it'll be a long day or even long two days as its christmas and should be out til late. dempsey for drinks tonight ? maybe ? shall see how. haha. good nights my friends. yawns.

2007-11-17T03:09:00.000+08:00

nvm.. forget it, not much percentage.

well, had napfa again today. okays ! i managed to get a silver this time. hmm, was kinda close to a gold but nvm, i prefer not to complain. argh, super unfit now. i only ran 2.4 and i was like out of breath for hours after that. okays. a little exaggerated there. and my body is like so tired now and the guys are asking me to play bball tmr morning. geez. hope i can get up. has been a long time since i played bball.

haha. okay, i kept my promise to you guys out there and updated okay. opps, was bored anyway. haha.

2007-11-07T02:18:00.000+08:00

Its about time

well people !!! so sorry for being lazy the past 2 months. alrights. sch has started, that means the revival of this blog. I HOPE !! yea.

okay, a quick update for those dying to hear what i've been doing the entire hols. basically one word. SLACK. omg, super super slack. had a nocturnal lifestyle. i even moved my bed in front of the com so i can lie on it and watch shows and play games etc. club a few times, went out, basically all play. no work done. FULL STOP. haha.

okays, i just cant seem to fall asleep, thats why i'm here blogging. like finally ! haha. btw, FYP has started. well, but the first week seemed so slack. everyone's like still in holiday mood apart from the ever hardworking few. came up with issues the past week. at least i've more or less decided on what my issue will be. HIGH CLASS LIFESTYLE AND F1. well, will be touching on those two issues and see what i can do, be it retail, exhibition, leisure or F&B. hopefully i get into working mode soon.

alrights, i shall update soon again. I HOPE, i really really really hope. haha.

2007-09-17T17:35:00.000+08:00

Its monday !!!

haha. its monday !!! and that means... there's no more project for the time being... but it also means that napfa is tmr....

haha, well, at least p3 is over and i should say i'm quite satisfied with the outcome despite slacking a lot during it. well, out of 7 days a week, i spend like 4 days working, 3 days totally slacking off. how cool is that. presentation went better than expected too. didn't get shot down like a bird. not much negative remarks too. hope i score at least a B, if i'm lucky, might get an A. shall see ba. not that important. haha. wdas important is that i've relearnt viz in that short time.

well, and to end of last week, ban soon came to find me to say that i was too awarded the CSD membership for my p2 entry. well, kinda unexpected too. cause i really did up the boards during sip and it was super rush. thanks a lot KK for that.

headed down to town to celebrate the end of p3. derek went along with us too. haha, chilled and had some fun at balcony before heading opposite to coffee club for some coffee and deserts. well, even played some stupid games that made us high on sugar.-_-

basically slacked the weekend away apart from our usual sunday morning soccer. so so so... the question now is.. WHAT TO DO FOR THE NEXT 6 WEEKS !!!! crazy, its only 3 days, and i'm starting to get bored. argh, thats why i say i always complain when there's school that i wanna sleep and have hols, but during hols, i cant seem to find anything to do. when i have sufficient sleep, i get bored. HAHA. my theory there.

yea, shall go eat sleep slack more til i find something else to do.

Attitude and Opinion

well well, today's the final interim for p3. everything went fine except for me being late. luckily aida didn't really made a big fuss over it this time. have been doing so much work the past few days that i shall not talk much about it here.

maybe i should blog about today instead. went to catch a movie with some of my course mates before heading to tcc for a drink and chat after that. well, the chatting today somehow made me thought a lot about life again.

over coffee, we talk a lot about school, life and people. something i realised over and over again is that the world would never be perfect for anyone. it is up to him or her to make it perfect for themselves. no matter how similar or different two persons are, there would always be a difference in their opinions. these differences may be of slight difference or just the perfect opposite, but never exactly similar. sometimes, people may think that particular someone is opposing them or that they are selfish and dont care about others, but then again, its just a matter of opinion. they may have different mentalities, different maturity level and different goals in life.

therefore, it really boils down to ones attitude to achieve what he wants in life. personally, i feel that everything a person does is fine, as long as he knows what he is doing, knows what he wants out of it. i believe that there is no good or bad to anything, its just a matter of personal opinion once again. everyone views thing from a different point of view. and individually, one may look at a certain thing in a different way from what he thinks at the start. this is because there is no wrong way to view something, it is just what you get from viewing things from this perspective. maybe this is why there are so many great quotes around, but many often contradict one another. maybe this is not the best example but, people say, dont reflect on what you have done as it would only hold you back, move on with life instead. however, another may say, if you dont reflect, how would you know your mistakes, would you be really happy if you really just moved on? and even in work, work on your strengths is often an advice. but then, if one just works on his strengths, he would never improve his weaker points. however, if one works on his weakness, his improvements in his strengths would be held back. therefore, its really just a matter of opinion, it is a matter of what he feels is the right balance for himself. others can decide it for him.

personally, i feel that everything is right, as long as you make it right. i feel that one should not do something just for the sake of doing it. for example, when i'm doing my project, sometimes, i just break away from it and slack and play. i dont feel that this is wrong as i believe that if you dont have the mood to do something, dont do it. do what you want to do. i believe in play hard work smart. its not a matter of working hard or not for me. cause i know what i want to achieve and get. i would not give laziness or playfulness as an excuse as i know that there's no point regretting. i believe in happiness. when you work, be happy. only then would you work faster and better than ever before. however, this is a world full of opinions, people often judge you from what they see initially. but i feel that there is no completely bad person in the world. i believe that is someone was perfectly bad, he not even have the ability to survive. if someone was so bad, why would anyone befriend him, why would anyone hire or follow him. so there's always good points about everyone, just a matter of opinion. for example, people always associate clubbing with wild and bad. but there are those who sees it just like any other form of entertainment. people always say that studying is good. but then again, there are people who are studying for the bad cause. they are studying for the sake of acquiring the knowledge to cause harm to others. therefore, it is really one's personal opinion and attitude. it is him who decides whether this is bad or good.

i feel that one's attitude is very very important. you can be very lousy in everything, but its your attitude that will make you happy in life. if you think you are bad at things, there's always someone worse. if you think you are really good at something, there is often someone better or at the same level as you are at. so whether one is satisfied and happy in life is all about attitude. i believe that i will always be happy with what i have, what i am. but if i'm not satisfied, i will seek to improve and not dwell over myself being not capable enough. i believe in having a positive attitude to whatever i do. as i'm talking from my point of view, i may know what others think of my attitude, my way of life. but what matters most is that i am happy with what i am doing, what life am i leading.

i may say that i've experienced a lot in life for a 19 year old, however, there are those who have led more complicated lives. so i would not boast of having set backs in life as there's nothing proud about. its just how i learnt and matured from them that i find is important for me.

geez, i realised i ended typing quite a lot up there. well, some may agree with me, some may think its total crap. but then, its still one's opinion! thats the word i want to tell everyone about. haha. Opinion ! omg, i've used the word too often in this post. haha. shall not nag any further. dont kill me.

2007-08-18T14:07:00.000+08:00

Finally

hey people, finally i've time to update my blog. had been deserting this place for the past 2 weeks. mainly due to the fact that i've been busy chionging my projects. yea, so much that i did not even have time for sleep, not to mention updating my blog.

well, however, still went to sentosa last weekend with the guys. well, as usual had fun before everyone rushing off as they all had to book in.

yea, then after that, was... crazy...

since sunday night til thur's interim assement, did work almost non stop. hahaha. staying in school each day til around 9, doing up model, cadding and more. so the week was basically projects, music and more crapping in studio. i think i spent more time in studio than at home la. with all the guys getting more and more gay by the day. how cool is that. :S

well, thur's interim, i was quite satisfied with the work i submitted la. at least it was more or less there. hopefully, i'm ready to move away from this concept stage to the design stage. woah, that only means more work to be done. shall relax a bit this weekend before doing again. but there's still work to be done over this weekend too. 4 mood boards and the space planing.

yea, and a few of us finally went out to catch a movie yesterday. together with ken, merv, hock, deon and xueni we watched simpsons. well, i must say that the show was quite funny... BUT it was so soooo soooooooo short ! lasted like only an hour and 15 min i think. or even less... after that we just walk around town aimlessly ba. nth much.

yes, and its saturday now ! yea, the weather's rainy and everyone's sleepy. LOL. yea, now slacking at home. gonna watch bourne ultimatum with my family later. had been quite a long time since we last watched a movie together too. and i think my dad is quite interested in the show too. yepps.

yea, so that's how my life is at the moment. chiong and relax chiong and relax a bit. hahaha. enjoying projects though despite it being hectic. jiayou ppl... yepps, i shall go get ready to go out. shall update again within the next year or so. haha. jkjkjk.. when i have time la...

P3 is here !!! haha. woah, and its creating waves throughout iad. yea. it has been depriving me of sleep just like how i'm depriving you of blog entries.

i slept like 2 hours the previous night and not a wink last night. just to rush things out. and now, we have completed a grand total of 10% of p3 after spending 2 long nights and the entire week in school. 5% for group 5% for individual. well, i must say that overall, i think my group did quite okay. at least i put in a reasonable amount of effort. individual was so so. kinda rush here and there but more or less okay.

yea, i dunno why, its has been tiring. REALLY TIRING, but at the same time, it has been great fun. staying back with the iad guys/gays/girls in the studio to do work. all the nonsense coming out from merv's and ken's mouth. lol. hilarious. but its damn fun. exchanging ideas. giving opinions here and there. fun. haha. i'm crazy.

2007-07-23T03:26:00.000+08:00

Brotherhood

Alrights, enough of complaining from me. well, i finished my essay for creative writing, did one on brotherhood. haha. got no idea why, but i decided to post it here.

Brotherhood

These are the thoughts that often occupy my wandering mind. What makes siblings so special? How often is it that you really think in depth about brotherhood is something that I often ask others. We were fated to be born with the same parents, same surnames and with the same blood running through our veins. Do people really treasure it? I mean, you can make friends with anyone else in the world, but you can’t choose your siblings. So, are you living happily with your siblings ? How important a role do they play in your life?

12th May 1990, that’s when it all started, a new person entered my life. Back then, I was only at the age of 2, can't recall a single thing, doubt if I could even speak. His name has the same resemblance as mine. Lin Lu Edwin, with mine being Lin Qi Elroy. There, the same surname, a single character Chinese name, a 5 letter Christian name that starts with an E and a total of 10 letters for the full name. I have an elder sister who's 3 years older than I am, Lin Yi Edith., all spotting the same arrangement of names.

Growing up in a family with 3 children, we would never get bored. There's always my younger brother or elder sister to play or talk to. Talking about that, i guess its how siblings relationship gets started and a bond is created between ourselves. Personally, all my childhood memories are mostly vague memories of playing with my siblings and occasionally my cousins. I remember the times when were we all so young and innocent, without worries, running, jumping and laughing everywhere. All 3 of us went to the same kindergarten and primary school. In these respective schools, I don't know why is it, but all 3 of us are always "high profile", be it for a good or bad cause. In terms of personality, all 3 of us share a few in common. The most outstanding one, is our talent is sports. We each played many different sports, and excelled in all of them. How often is it that we would be the best, if not best few players in the team. Trophies are often the first few things people spot when they enter our house. The 3 of us has an ever-growing collection which has overflowed from our trophy cabinet. However, laziness is also another thing that runs through our blood. We were all born with high IQ, but it is often laziness that causes our downfall.

Turning the clock back to the primary school days, I recall those times we had together. The school's system is such that the even levels (primary 2, 4 and 6) have school in the morning while the odd (primary 1, 3 and 5) have theirs in the afternoon. This arrangement is also partly due to the shortage of classes. Therefore, it results with me having the same sessions of schooling times with my brother. Every single schooling day, we would head off to school with each another and even go home together, we were so close back then. In addition, we even joined the same CCA, soccer. I was the vice-captain of the senior team then. My brother was the one of a younger age who managed to get into the senior team. We trained in the same team, under the same coach. We outshine most of the other players in the team, making us the coach's favorite. Those times playing soccer for the school was memorable. We even played soccer after school together at a near by street soccer court after school. It is often that we would play until evening time before heading home together. It was those times where we would chase buses together and eat tidbits on the buses. This brotherhood between us grew stronger and stronger each day.

There were so many funny and enjoyable incidents that happened when we were young. I remember how once we were at this decoration shop with my family. Being kids, we love to make fun of and play with each other. On that day, he pointed to a pig stature and with a slip of his tongue, shouted, “Kor (brother) ! Your Brother! “That really made the entire family laughed. What he wanted to say was that the pig was me and I think that he wanted to tell the others that it was his brother which resulted in him saying that. It may be a small little funny incident, but its something that would stay with you in life. In addition, during primary school, we would take the bus number 55 to school. One night when he was sleeping, he suddenly shouted, “Kor ! 55 come already. “Just like how he would when ever he spots the bus coming and we would chase it. Yes, it’s usually these small little things that we would remember.

However, I soon graduated from the primary school and move on to a secondary school of choice. We were still quite close then, sharing the same interests such as soccer and computer games. It was only after he graduated from the primary school that things changed. He did not do that well for his PSLE examinations and went to North Vista, a neighborhood school in Seng Kang. The school culture over there is very different as compared to mine or the primary school.Soon after entering the school, he changed for the worse. It was when he was secondary 2 I think. He started mixing around with gangs and soon joined one. Running away from home, only to come back 2 days later with a big tattoo of a devil on his chest. How it broke all our hearts. My parents were almost in tears, deep inside me, it was bleeding and hurting too. Soon, he changed from bad to worse. He soon became rebellious, shouting at even my mother, giving a bad attitude. He was beyond control. As an elder brother, I tried to tell him off, but he did not even listened. Being someone who cares a lot about strong family relationships, it hurt me badly. I felt totally helpless, seeing him being suck into the world of gangsters. It didn’t take me long to find out that he picked up smoking at such a young age. I did not know what to do. Since young, we all knew that he was a little more playful and naughty than his other 2 siblings, but we did not expect him to become who he is now.

He has totally changed, he threw his future away. He used to be a talented sprinter and long jumper. Breaking the school's record while still being in lower secondary is no easy feat. Bringing home 5 to 6 trophies each sports day ever since primary school and even grabbing the individual champion award. He was called upon by the Singapore Sports School for a trial and managed to get in. However, he suddenly just rejected it without any reason, it was only much later did i realised why. He did not want to leave his "gang". He goes out every single day, regardless if there's school the next day, coming home only in the wee hours. And each time i ask him where he goes, his reply is "out". He does not give us any respect anymore. Many a time, he would lie straight in our faces, but what could we do. As we tried, ticking him off would only result in him getting more rebellious. Then, he decided that he did not want to study, his results drop drastically. Even dropping from the Express stream to the Normal Academic stream. Then after, he started playing truant and yet he thinks there's nothing wrong with it, living in a world of his own.

How often is that that I have thought through this. Was it our fault that he became like that or was is because of him being easily influenced by others I often ask myself. I really regret that i couldn't do anything then. Coming to think of it, maybe I could have helped him, maybe I couldn't, i seriously don't know. I was also in my secondary school times when he changed, I too, was occupied with my schooling life, friends and studies. I hardly spent time with him as compared to those primary school days. Was it because of this that he mixed with the wrong friends? I often asked myself whether I had neglected him. Then again, he is someone who does not like to follow orders, he's someone who wants others to listen and follow him. Was it because of this that he didn't have friends in school? In addition, my mother is one who likes to compare, personally, i feel that maybe he found it hard to follow my footsteps and it demoralized him even further, causing him to drift away from the family. After thinking through many many times, I realised that I was someone he really looked up to, but he just can't follow my footsteps, it was too tough a path for him. This made me regret more, because it meant that I could have helped him if I realised it earlier. Instead, I was too busy in my own world. How could I had let this happened?

Currently, he's in secondary 5 now, waiting to take his O levels. I really hope he does well and enters a polytechnic. I would be entering the army then, I hope that one day, he would mature and understand what we have been trying to tell him. He as became slightly better now, but only slightly. I hope he changes for the better soon. I'm trying my best to help him, trying my best to coach him. At least he listens a little now. What I can do now is hope and try, pray that with my sincerity, he would understand and change.

You can lose a friend, but you would never lose a brother. They say that blood is thicker than water, and I truly agree with it. I believe in brotherhood. Do you ?

haha, yea, thats about it. nothing much.

2007-07-12T18:43:00.000+08:00

No way

Fine, if you want to put things that way. i decided to let it go and let things go back to normal and now you want to start things again. and now what, saying that you dont wanna bother about me anymore, dont have to acknowledge me as a brother. whatever you want. now its you who starts this, all over a small favour and 6 bucks. come on la. all this doesnt makes senses.

forget it, i dont wanna let this affect me. i dunno why things end up to be like this. i dont wanna care anymore. after all these years, this is what i get.

2007-07-11T00:23:00.000+08:00

Lazy Pezy

I dunno, i just feel so lazy to blog. but i better do anyway.

yepps, has been a week since i last blog. nothing much happened actually. except that i watched a couple of movies and went to home club.

well, transformers was good. =P went hub to watch it before heading to home club. caught die hard 4 the next day. well, it was not bad i guess. still okay. haha.

yes, thats last week, what a great chunk i wrote up there. sorry for making you spend hours to read. lol. yepps, i finally finished my 10 journals. i did the last 8 in like 2 hours. lol. had a couple of presentations today. guess they were okay. hopefully.

i dunno, but the modules seem slack. i dunno. maybe cause creative writing is a cds. then design studies, although is a core, its like sian. i think the group is too big to function. crazy, 6 ppl do 1 ppt slide. totally different ideas.

yepps, nevermind, final assignments are coming soon, and after that p3. lol. stress or fun ? i still dunno. lets just enjoy while we still can.

and i am happy with life now. school, friends and home. kinda stopped working. guess i wanna concentrate on my studies first. well, work is fun too, just that its tiring to work and sch at the same time i guess.

just wanna enjoy and do well for the rest of my poly life with 2 major projects coming up.

this post is kinda in bits and pieces. messy. dont care la. lol. enjoy.

2007-07-09T02:09:00.000+08:00

Hair cut, soccer, food and games.

well, the above were basically what i did yesterday. lol. went to micro cut with alven to have a hair cut, i think i needed one badly, getting long and untidy and all. well, and they just change the system there, junior and senior hairdressers. hmm, decided to go for the senior one as i felt like cutting something different. so i just ask her to cut whatever she thinks is nice for me. i ended up cutting quite a lot. hmm, its not as untidy and long now. kinda short and guess what. she help me carve some design on the side. well, it looks like an A but dont ask me why. i didn't even know what she was gonna carve. lol. -_- yea, and they help me put this new wax they have. its coloured. so i had blue hair yesterday for a few hours before i washed it off. lol, they even took pics. -_-"

cabbed down to matt's house to watch the live telecast of sing vs aust. well, wasted mann. singapore played kinda well, but miss all their chances. indra ah indra. lol. unlucky too. hit the posts twice. guess thats the difference between s'pore and the premiership. kewell and viduka really made the difference. difference class. haha. too bad. still got lots to catch up, goal 2010, seems impossible. opps.

slacked in matt's room until they decided that they were hungry. lol, super crap. ks found a zhonghua yearbook. and it was the sec 1 edition. OMG, we cant recognise a lot of them. kinda funny. we were like who the hell is this person, does he or she even existed ?omg, terrible mann. maybe cause its sec 1 photos thats why. cannot blame us. doug drove us to eat at 401 for supper. well, and we wanted to eat sundaes so we decided to go to mac, and wth, hougang green mac has close down. so suay, just on that very day. so cui la.

The Broken Train

Brakes screech hard,
As train gets station.

Steam fumes out,
When engine don't function.

Screams and shouts,
Are all that junction.

Forget and gone,
Were all contributions.

Stomps and kicks,
Without any appreciation.

Shoulder and burden,
Those never ending expectations.

Reach its limit,
A cold war tensions.

What on earth,
Is this retribution.

2007-06-25T01:13:00.000+08:00

yepps, i'm just super bored now, shall just post some jokes which had been keeping me company during work. opps. well, but at least i dont slack during work. haha.

The difference between guts and balls...

We've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really know the difference between them?

In an effort to keep you informed, the definition for each is listed below...

GUTS - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: "Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?"

BALLS - is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the *** and having the balls to say: "You're next."

I hope this clears up any confusion on the subject.

80-year old man...

An 80-year old man was having his annual checkup and the doctor asked him how he was feeling. “I’ve never been better!” he boasted. “I’ve got an 18-year-old bride who’s pregnant and having my child! What do you think about that?”
The doctor considered this for a moment, then said, “Let me tell you a story.
I knew a guy who was an avid hunter. He never missed a season. But one day, he went out in a bit of a hurry, and he accidentally grabbed his umbrella instead of his gun.”
The doctor continued, “So he was in the woods, and suddenly a grizzly bear appeared in front of him! He raised his umbrella, pointed it at the bear and squeezed the handle. And do you know what happened?” the doctor queried.
Dumbfounded, the old man replied, “No.”
The doctor continued, “The bear dropped dead in front of him!”
“That’s impossible!” exclaimed the old man. “Someone else must have shot that bear.” Replied the doctor, “That’s kind of what I’m getting at.”

Golf...

A guy was playing golf one day and he got lost. He saw a lady up
ahead of him and went to her and said, "Can you please help me, I don't know what hole I'm on".

She told him "You are one hole behind me. I'm on 7; you're on 6."

He thanked her & continued playing golf. Later he got lost again.
He saw the same lady and went to her again kind of embarrassed.

"I'm sorry to bother you again but I'm lost again, can you please
tell me what hole I'm on."

Lady : You are one hole behind me. I'm on 14; you are on 13.

Again he thanked her and continued playing golf. When he finished he saw her in the clubhouse. He went up to her and asked if he could buy her a drink for helping him out. She accepted.

As they were drinking & talking he asked her what she did for a
living.

"I'm in sales."

He replied, "no kidding so am I. What do you sell?"

Lady : It's too embarrassing to tell.

But after he kept pleading to know what she sold she said she'd tell him if he promised not to laugh. He promised.

Lady : I sell WHISPER (Sanitary Napkins).

He immediately fell to the floor laughing hysterically.

Lady : You promised you wouldn't laugh.

He replied, "I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it. I sell toilet paper... I'm still one hole behind you."

Speed limits...

Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 KPH. He thinks to himself, "this driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!"

So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies - two in the front seat and three in the back -- wide eyed and white as ghosts.

The driver, obviously confused, says to him "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?"

"Ma'am," the officer replies, "you weren't speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers."

"Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly... Twenty-two kilometers an hour!" the old woman says a bit proudly.

The Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that 22 was the highway number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error.

"But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask... Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't made a peep this whole time," the officer asks.

"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We just got off Highway 189"!!!!!

Being deaf...

Two deaf people get married. During the first week of marriage, they find that they are unable to communicate in the bedroom when they turn off the lights because they can't see each other using sign language. After several nights of fumbling around and misunderstandings, the wife decides to find a solution. "Honey," she signs, "Why don't we agree on some simple signals? For instance, at night, if you want to have sex with me, reach over and squeeze my left breast one time. If you don't want to have sex, reach over and squeeze my right breast one time." The husband thinks this is a great idea and signs back to his wife, "Great idea, Now if you want to have sex with ME, reach over and pull on my penis one time. If you don't want to have sex, reach over and pull on my penis......fifty times."

Holy holy...

Two kids are in Sunday School. A girl who keeps falling asleep sits next to a boy with his pen out.
The teacher asks, "Who created heaven and earth?" The boy pokes the girl in the side with his pen.
"God almighty!" yells the girl.
"Very good!" says the teacher. The girl starts to snooze off again.
The teacher asks, "Who died for our sins?" The boy pokes her with his pen again.
"Jesus Christ!" yelled the girl.
"Very good." The girl goes off to sleep again.
The teacher asks, "What did Eve say to Adam after having their 26th kid?" The boy pokes her with the pen again.
The girl yells, "If you put that thing into me one more time, I swear I'll break it in half!"
The teacher fainted.

haha. hoped you had a good laugh. if not too bad. aww. i'm tired...

Monday

Just got home from work. finished bathing, gonna have dinner now. haha. the weekend was spent rotting at home. had a good rest though. well, nothing much today. just work i guess. and this song randomly played on my phone as i shuffled it. and dunno why i just kept playing it over and over. well. most would had heard of the song anyway.

"Because Of You"

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

Off day !!

hahaha !!! finally i have my first off day from after like 4 weeks of work. and thats cause i gotta go back to sch for directors talk.

the day started off with me waking up at 645... zzz... gotta go sch earlier to pass kk my work and forms to enter for the CSD thingy. and not to mention i stayed up until 4 plus on sunday night to complete it again ! guess i dont need to say how lousy my day at work was on monday then. reached sch at like 815 i guess. managed to find kk having breakfast with ingrid, derrick and another 2 lecturers. bought a drink sat down and chatted with them. haha. quite funny. and i finally get to drink design sch teh peng again.

headed to tcc after that. wah. finally managed to meet up with all the iad peeps after not seeing them since the kinda long. haha. so many stories to tell each another. director talk was normal i guess. performance was okay. pepper's song and the dance was not bad. but the funny part was when they invite moses to give his speech. LOL. the top half of tcc ran out of the place. as, in really ran out. damn funny. all know he super draggy.

gathered in our new studio to talk a bit. haha. had a good time catching up with each another. and had lunch in sch. so cheap compared to marina square la. good food somemore. =p design canteen rocks.

kenneth drove us to tb house to play mj. haha. played 10/20 cents been a long time since i play like that. went over to ks house with alven to pay our last respects to his grandpa after that. didn't stay for long as they had the cemerony to do. rest in peace yea.

yepps. so thats about it and i'm home. work tmr again. ahh. tired mann. hope work's not rush tmr. nothing really much to blog about. at least csd is settled with. =)

2007-04-16T22:08:00.000+08:00

Bad to good

wahahaha. the day started off badly for me mann. so how should i start

argh ! KK !!! lol. he told me that i gotta submit my CSD to him by today as he needed to submit it. so last night. i chiong all the way. doing it until about 430 am then as tp mail is under maintainence from 3 to 5 am, i couldn't send it to him. thus, i was freaking tired this morning, still gotta drag myself out of bed to upload my file to send to him. and it was taking so freaking long and i was late for work. did not even had time to eat breakfast la ! so i literally slept standing on the mrt to work la. freaking tired.

as usual, reaching work first. but the thing was the lydia was there. kao ! so early. its rare to see her la. omg la. yea. complied all the final works for the ppt presentation in the morning, and starting on the killer sectional elevation. omg, killer mann. doing up sectional elevations from just plan and perspective. gotta refer to the main architectual plan to get the beams and colums, then gotta refer to perspective to fill in the furniture and wall finishes. and what more, it was already past 1 and i am still in office, rushing to print out the ppt slides.

then, the day took a change, I was at the printer waiting for the last few sheets to print out as i was in charge of doing the whole ppt. the Perri walked over, he was like hey, will it be done soon. we are leaving for the presentation soon. wanna come along. i was like omg ! just what i wished for. lol. to i happily tagged along. Francis drove us to Holiday Inn at Havelock armed with their laptops, ppt print outs and the 2 big and heavy material boards. We reach like 10 mins early and as the clients were gonna be late. we went to the all day dining to have lunch. woots. what more mann. company pay. so had free lunch. chatted with perri and francis. woo. really learning from the pros mann. both of them are so experienced, both with architectural background.

yepps, then it was soon presentation time. hmm, i just sat there most of the time, listening to perri and francis both taking turns to present. wah ! it was good experience mann. from what i saw. the clients were more into 3d. the was what they really looked out for and the material boards. just as perri was mentioning to me before that. clients love to touch the materials themselves. and all they cared about was cost and cost. lol. it was good experience though.

then on the way back to office. francis suddenly ask perri if he saw mr gan's mail about punctuality. the mail stated that people are getting to work later and later. some even as late as 10 plus. ( which is true. even if i am 5 or 10 min late, i'm still the earliest ) then perri was like yea, i saw. then francis was like is he refering to us( perri and him ). then perri was like hmm, i reached the same time as mr gan today. francis was like how you know, perri said, i walked in at 945 with him. haha. then francis was like. must be you la. then the funny part was. perri said, in the mail, mr gan stated that it is a very bad example for others. especially to those juniors as the would learn the wrong things blah blah blah. ya. its true right, mr gan is the director here and he comes in late, so we learn from him. LOL. hahaha. thick skin mann. hahahaha. he's trying to say that mr gan shoot himself. LOL. damn funny. yepps.

reached office at 3 plus. continued on my sectional elevations. but i was so freaking tired that i almost doze off so many times. kao. i even sneaked into toilet to take a 5 min nap. opps. shhh. yepps, then towards the end, it was better. the team had meetings and stuff. then albert even asked me to join them for a bball game after work on wed. lol. i said see how as usual. =P

THEN ! after trying so hard all day, trying to get kk. HE FINALLY CALLED. wth, i tried so many ways to get him la. smsed ingrid who said that kk forgot to bring his hp out today -_-" but she could help me as she was out of school. called aida's phone which was never answered, called rachna's phone which was never turned on. called rosli who dunno kk's number ! -_-" until i gave up. then KK called at 7 plus, saying he just got home. and he said, that he would only be submitting the CSD works next week ! -_-" . make me stay up late all night and worse still trying to contact him all day and feeling so sleepy all day. argh... but nevermind, it means i got time to redo it. i was so tired that i anyhow did the boards. haha...

yepps. so i should say its a good day today. gonna sleep like now. super tired. nights all. =)

2007-04-11T23:43:00.000+08:00

Work again

haha. well, it has been a week since i last blogged and has been a week and a half since i started sip.

alrights, i shall not complain desipite having to do cad from day 1 til now. shall look on the bright side yea. well, now i get to plan layouts. cool yea ? so far i had planned a few layouts. a lobby bar that has both indoor and outdoor sitting, 3 hotel room layouts and 3 chinese restaurant layouts. not bad mann. learnt a lot. wah. really learnt how the designers save space and cost with the layouts mann. i'm lucky to be working with a designer. guiding me along as i planned the layouts. quite interesting yea. and now i can say that my cad skills have improved. but theres still much much more to learn.

but one thing is that every morning i have nothing to do. cause i report to work at 9, but the full timers only come in between 930 and 10. so i practically have no work to do. just browse the picture library, look and learn from the pics i guess. some of them are really interesting. guess thats the advantage of working in a big company. but the disadvantage is that you would mostly be doing drafting. unlike those in small companies who even get to go down to site visit, project and client meetings. well, but of course their projects are of smaller scale. there's pros and cons to everything la. haha.

yepps. and to those who are going in to ns or have already gone in. all the best mann. happy cheong shuaing. that would mean that only alven, doug, ks and i are not in ns la. all the rest are in. lol. time flies doesn't it. it did not seem that long ago that we were in sec sch mann. nvm, shall meet up when you guys book out mann. haha. take care guys. dont turn gay. the most be like matt, he's a CHANGED MAN now. LOL. damn funny.

yea. chans reaching soon, he'll be bringing me nuggets. omg, i'm so hungry ever since i started internship. liverpool tonight. come on liverpool, lets win and join the other 2 english club. chelsea here we come. =P

2007-04-04T23:56:00.000+08:00

Work work

haha. i just reached home and had dinner. and its only my third day of work la ! overtimed today. albert had to submit the cad drawings today so i stayed back to help him. well, just did cad and printing. at least i'm learning things everyday so its not that boring after all. just tiring...

ven and chan came over to watch soccer last night. i almost couldn't wake up this morning. luckily just managed to reach on time. was tired la. drank coffee and more coffee. lol. all types also drink la. black, with creamer, with sugar and even with both. did cad again. today was finalising. then had lunch with my sis, her friends and my friends. thats wads so good of working in dp mann.

well, after lunch was chioning again. well, but at this rate, time really flies mann. after i finish editing, it was already like 5 plus. i was like wah. then print draft. waseh, a total of about 300 plans la i think. maybe even more. printing was fast but plotting was slow. lol. after printing, had to check then edit again. now i realised how important heading is. albert was like saying, the contractor will make noise over reflected ceiling plan WITH switch layout plan and reflected ceiling plan AND layout plan. and there's a difference between, sectional elevations 1, 2, 3 & 4 and sectional elevations 1 - 4. wah. crazy mann.

end up staying til 1030 before heading home. only then did i realised i havent had dinner. lol. crazy right. alrights i better sleep early mann.

music and cad =)

2007-04-02T23:15:00.000+08:00

SIP !!

wah ! back from the first day of work !!! omg, dunno how to describe it. well, starting i had nothing much to do. orientation around marina square as the different offices were at different places. just sit there and watch others at work while waiting for my com to be fixed up. helped to scan some stuff. before my com was finally fixed up, got my personal mail and it was lunch.

after lunch was a killer mann. helped to do some cad drawings amendment. omg, it was really omg. starting was okay, slowly getting a hang of it and stuff. then after that. i really chiong like siao ! omg ! i've never ever done auto cad so fast before ! whenever i see those full timers working. i thought they are super good, thats why so fast. now i realised that it can actually be done. lol. really need concentration. omg, edited between 70 to 80 sectional elevations at least mann. well, but at least i've learnt. should say that although i had to work overtime, it was worth it. just that i'm tired now and my leg hurts from yesterday. got kick above my left ankle kinda hard. lol.

alrights. better rest for tmr now... gonna be another tiring day i guess.

2007-03-31T03:30:00.000+08:00

yawns

okays... finally blogging. well the week of hols that i am having seem to just zoomed by without me doing anything much. kinda sian. so fast. 2 more days before work starts. suddenly it seems that there's so many things to be done.

went to tampines safra to had lunch with some of the iad peeps just now, went to sch to slack a while. and kk suddenly called me to tell me that he had choosen me to take part in the CSD thingy. wah. gotta enter my p2 for it. and i have no idea what to do already. wah. still gotta be sent overseas for judging. we then headed down to nafa. kk brought merv, nee and i there to view their project show. hmm. i can only say that their 3d vidz skills were good. their concept were not strong. well, but for me to reach that lvl, i still have a lot to practice. met up with the guys for dinner after that.

Open house / Sher bday

haha. so the week end has past and so has sher's bday as well as tp's open house. well, lets start with open house. wasn't really that involved in this year's open house. just help out a little here and there. most of the time just disturbing the ppl there. lol. alamak, there's really nothing much i can say mann... just that i have been walking around tp many many times.

yea, celebrated sher's bday on sat. headed down to wine company with dougto get some wine for his bday before heading over to his place. and finally i saw the f***ing big fish they were talking about near the wine company. omg, really humongous... if it was taken out and measured from head to tail, i think it will be more than 1 and a half meters. crazy... reached sher's place at 6 plus. only doug, sher, jl and i were there. so we watched death note. well, at last i got to watch it. haha. both kira and L are damn smart i must say. yepps, then hc, ven and ks reached at 8 plus, watched liverpool vs chelsea ! WOOTS !!! damn song, liverpool won 2-0 !!! and better still, they totally dominated chelsea. wahahahaha... hc and i was damn high. yepps, and sher suddenly had the urge to play mj so we played one round. damn lame, in the end everyone more or less broke even. ended up drinking after that. well, i din drank much that night. i must say that i dun like barcardi rum. eeks. jean bean was still okay. beer was of course easy to drink. oh mann. but that rum sucks. maybe its cause i still aint a season drinker. haha. and i freaking felt uncomfortable that night. dunno why. they all got so high and were dancing and sharing personal secrets but i just felt like sleeping...

yea, and went out with my fam the next day. it has been kinda long since we last went out together. went for lunch then headed down to bugis to walk a bit. was at bugis street too. went down to vivo after that. whoo. vivo wasn't as crowded as the last time i went. haha. shopped a lot at vivo. i have more or less gotten my cny shopping done. okay, i got one set. haha. oh mann, too bad the shoe i wanted at zara doesn't have my size :( i kinda like that one. well, got one from pedro in the end. its still not bad i think. wahaha. went to sher house again that night to watch arsenal vs man u. well, arsenal won. hmm, i guess its good. the title chase would be more interesting this way. wahaha.

Weekend

back home from visiting wei xiang. went with simin to visit him. glad to see that he's so much better now. he still can laugh and joke with us. but the cuts on his heads are so big mann. he has a total of twenty over stiches. crazy. heard that he lost about 3 packets of blood, any more and his life would be in danger. okay, finally i know what actually happened that day. he was with his bunch of friends hanging around orchard, the he decided to go to his mum's place to help out and have dinner, upon reaching there, after about 10 mins or so while he was eating dinner, this group of 4 or 5 malay guys dressed up in all black came in with parangs i think. weixiang was sitting near the door and i think he was recognised wrongly and got slashed 3 times. one at the front part which the scalp fall off and another 2 behind, one of which is quite big. he said that there were a few others who were innocently injured but only his was that serious. he also said that the targetted guy's wound was also very serious, any deeper and that guy would be dead. from what i heard, one guy was caught.

and i heard from shawn that waimeng also got into a freak accident while playing pool. he was bending down to pick up the ball and someone's stick poke into his eye. was rush to the hospital immediately i think. heard that he is okay now. lucky mann.

well, went sentosa with the iad peeps yesterday. only nine of us went. well, alright lars, still had fun though. and i'm burnt now as usual. and i went to vivo city for the very first time although i only like cut through the place. well, it looks nice from the enterior, the interior is sort of more of quite normal well, the ceiling element is something i like at least. well, the retails shops there all all quite big too. not bad la, but its freaking crowded.

No life

i can now declare that i have no life. for the past week or two, i have been waking up early in the morning, go sch for lessons then stay back to do projs til 10 or 11. once i reach home, slack a while then sleep and the next day is the same.

and most of my time in sch is spent in the cad lab. either doing 3d vidz / auto cad or playing cs / dota. well, and i declare design school as the best lan shop in singapore. lagless coms plus free gaming. what more, all the labs in school are connected through lan.

and not to forget our gaying about in the lab. omg, it seems like the whole bunch of us have become gay freaks. especially syafiq ! wakao. from morning til night non stop gaying. -_-

yea, submitted the first part for dmvp today. well, although the work i submitted was only average, i think i have more or less learnt how to do vidz. and for inec, my plans are up, elevation almost, left with section and detailing. omg, i think i'm going to hate doing detailing. imagine drawing out all those mini mini details. argh. gotta work harder on them. next week gonna chiong out my art seats and mrt station shell and complete all my cad drawings.

omg, my sis bday party is like 2 days away and i haven't bought her present, i really dunno wad to buy mann. anyone got ideas ? its like her 21st bday mann. ahh...

2006-11-10T23:08:00.000+08:00

Days

It has been some time since i last blog. well, lifes nothing much these few days. wake up go school, do 3d vidz then play cs til late then head home. haha. yea, basically my eyes are super tired these days.

well, ever since my mum started working and my dad found another job, the house is always empty. when i wake up my parents are gone and my siblings are asleep and even if i reach home like around 11 no one is at home. hmm, had super super late dinner with my parents one of the days during this week. we had dinner at like 11 plus at night. -_- it was only during that dinner that we really had time to talk to each another. well, from that night, i understood my parents even more. the effort they put in for the family, how concern they are about us and stuff. also, i realised that we children also have to play our part in the family and help out with the house work and be responsible for our own things. yepps. really love my parents, my family. :) really gotta help out in the family. be is housework or other stuff. do what i can i guess.

yea, and my sister's 21st bday is coming very soon, dunno what to get for her mann, somemore she's holding a bday party at my house.

ahh, and studios so empty these few days, everyone's in the CAD lab doing 3d vidz. two more weeks til hols mann. think its the last hols before our attachment already. ahh. chiong arh !!!

2006-11-02T22:47:00.000+08:00

Soccer !

wahaha! back once more playing the sport i'm best at. :P though we didn't win( got second yet again -_- ), but i really enjoyed playing. lols. i even ended up playing for 2 teams. the IAD year 3s only had 4 person, so i played for them too.
well, but cramps are irritating ! eeks. i played the last 3 or 4 games suffering from cramps. especially my right calf. at one point of time, i could only play with my left foot. -_- i played a total of 8 games, i think i scored about 9 or 10 goals in total, but the sad part is that i miss more than i scored. -_- my ball control today was poor. well, at least i played my heart out. the result is that my calfs now are pratically useless. i really had no energy to run during the last game. i hate cramps ! i even had difficulty climbing up the staris of the overhead bridge. dama pain, the inner and outter muscles of my both shins.
yea ! and good game guys ! team IAD consists of aaron, syafiq, shahid, huzair, tai bin, yong hock and me. :P well done guys, you all played well. yepps, and a great big thanks to those guys and girls out there supporting me. :) yepps, winning isn't everything, the best part is that i got to enjoy myself and made new friends.
yea mann, i better start to jog again mann. my fittness level now is super low. -_- i would had no problems playing like this back in secondary school. yepps, now thats soccer is over, there's bball left on monday. too bad there's no vball. just hope to go out there and enjoy myself again. :) i shall go heal my tired legs now, see you guys on monday ! hahars.

2006-10-27T02:45:00.000+08:00

Crazy buses

wah. here to complain about buses once more before i go get some rest. there's like 2 submissions tmr. have been chioning for the past 2 days. had add drop on wed. so stupid, we are the smallest course but we took the longest to finish. the call number was like 106 for other courses and ours was 2o or 30 plus. -_- super slow.
haha, nvm. the worst thing was that i didn't slept on tues night, then go school like 8 plus to do model, then waited whole day for add drop, then waited for my sis. the worst thing was there was some stupid jam somewhere. 27 took more than half an hour to come, when normally 5 mins is considered a long wait. -_- worst still, tpe was jammed. and the journey took almost one and a half hours ! normally its like 30 to 40 min. zzz. damn stupid. somemore the bus was super packed. argh. waste my time lors. still got so much work to do somemore.
then today, i boarded this old 27 bus. then was okay, suddenly then air con was not cold and started dripping water on me. zzz. then what. suddenly the engine was super noisy and somemore i was sitting the first seat behind the enterance. the seat and walls or the bus were vibrating super violently. zzz. kao, like giving me a massage thats super uncomfortable. zzzz.

ahh! nvm, gonna get some well deserved rest. i've been in sch doing proj the entire day. and i just completed my retail ppt. gotta go sch early tmr to finish up msa and a bit of retail before submission !!! sleep sleep sleep.

2006-10-20T20:11:00.000+08:00

Wakao

wah, last night while playing games, i felt that something wasn't right. so i asked my bro to take over. went to lie down for a while. the next thing i knew i was vommiting in the toilet. geez. twice somemore. went to sleep immediately after that, only waking up to know that my bro also vomitted. hmm, but found out the reason why already. cause my uncle made the popiah at 4 plus, then we ate at 8 plus without heating up. -_- but now okay le.

haha. went to visit this condo under renovation somewhere along balmral road. wakao, the ppl staying there super rich la. -_- the condo we visited had tight security. even the lobby of the condo has some electronic system that we had to key in the unit number and stuff. the designer there was very nice to us. he taught us much much more than we expected. really learnt a lot. wah. the current owner is a family and spend about 60 or 70 k on renovations, but the scary thing is that the previous owner is a single lady and spend 300k on renovations alone. and the best thing is that she just stayed there for 2 years before selling it off. wakao. super rich mann. she had the walls between the master bedroom and the other room hacked down. turning it into one super big master bedroom. so on one side, she had this super big round bed, on the other side is her walk-in wardrobe. in the middle she had this rotating lcd tv. she can turn it to any direction she wants. she even installed those device the air con of which she can on the air con when she's outside so that the house is cool when she reaches home. all her curtains and furniture are imported. crazy la. the curtains alone cost her about 15k what more she dont have much windows in the house. and i think she also spend a bomb on the lighting features. and she had like projectors in her house equipped with surround sound. -_- super rich. well, the surrent owner is also quite rich, they even asked for a seperate room and toilet for the maid alone. they even have a serving counter in the kitchen. haha. rich ppl...

wakao, huzair and i took 57 with shafirah and aini. then the both of us change to 88 home. we were like sitting at the last row of the double deck bus. i was sitting at one end and he was at the other. talking talking. then this irritating guy came and sit like in between us when its so obvious we were talking to each other. and not say the bus was very crowded, in fact, its quite empty. almost all the seats in front of us were empty. wth la. super extra, then he stared at me when i look at him. -_- not only that. then he started shaking his leg and all. then started burping super loudly. bth him mann. nvm.

haha, well but it has been quite a good day for me either than that. learnt a lot from the trip. hahars.

2006-10-19T20:03:00.000+08:00

Bus rides

haha. today i had two interesting bus rides, well, maybe not that interesting but at least they kept me awake for most of the time. hmm, firstly, on the way to school, i actually fell asleep quite fast. only waking up when the bus stop at the last stop of sengkang before turning to the expressway. then i realised that all the seats in the bus were taken except the one beside mine and the ppl were boarding the bus. then there were these 2 old man and 1 old woman who were together. then i was like thinking er, how to offer my seat to 3 of them. then the old lady was about to seat i just stood up and let the 3 of them decide who wanna seat. lol. and the next thing i knew was that they were talking loudly in hokkien and kept using vulgar words. -_- so i was like dun care, just listen to music. then i was closing my eyes, " sleeping " while standing. then suddenly someone tapped my shoulder, it was the old man, he was like xiao di, yao zhuo mah ? LOL, he was alighting. i was like blur, i think i replied bu yong jing. and i sat down after he went down. wahaha. damn lame.
then on my way home from school. i was sitting right at the back, then these two girls sat beside me. nothing much actually, just that their conversation was quite interesting and they were talking quite loudly, not really loud, but at least loud enough for me to hear clearly. at first, they were talking about gays. damn funny la. they were talking about this short gay. the way one of the girl was describing the gay to the other girl. i almost laughed out. then after that the other girl was talking about them working in some pub i think. she was saying about how the customers get drunk and hug the bar girls. then she even say how one of them got molested. aww. after that, they were talking about this friend who's mum finally allowed her to study design. but she didn't wanna get in tp design cause its too tough. and i was like thinking, i'm from tp design. hahahaha. actually nothing that interesting, just that the way they were describing the incidents were very funny. and i had peace and went to sleep after they alighted, until the bus conductor woke me up to check my card. haha, good thing that it was like 2 stops before i was alighting.
well, it has been a long time since i last offered my seat on the bus. normally its mrt. i think cause i'll always sit right at the back for bus rides. just that today the bus was filled with ppl at the back. hahaha. okays. i shall go have my dinner now. very hungry !!!!

Boring

Today's kinda boring, and so was yesterday. hmm, on both days, i woke up in the morning, did project for retail and then go to school for consultation which lasted about 5 min each. -_- kinda lame. its like i spend about 2 hours travelling to and fro just for 5 min each day. tmr might be like that too. yawns. well, the only good thing is that rachna finally accept my concept after like 3 consultations. geez. hmm, i'm a little behind others now. gotta catch up by thurs. and i havent done anything since i got home. think i'll do later.

Weekend

haha. another weekend is gone again. well, visited the material show rooms yesterday. meet at tpy, had mac for breakfast and headed down to balestier. hmm, was actually quite impressed with one of the shops. not only did they have a wide range of materials, their service was very good. they did not turn us away knowing that we are student, in fact, they were more than happy to give us samples, even ask us to come back for more if we needed. haha. yea, then headed down to taka after that as they wanna go art friend. ended up sitting on the bench outside art friend chatting.

Hmm, well, life's like... ahh... i dunno... kinda confused at the moment. dunno wad should i do. sigh... nvm...

2006-10-10T20:09:00.000+08:00

Projects

well, at least school's fun nowadays. ingrid lesson's aint the most interesting ones, but its a class that with all just keep laughing non stop. thanks to the many jokers in the class. retail, hmm, rachna's lessons are the same boring ones, so we just end up talking all the time. but she seems to have super sharp ears. grr.

haha. went show flat visiting on sat. whee. went all the way to west side. first time taking the bukit panjang LRT. luckily i aint as blur as huzair mann. he kinda got lost. lols. shall not explain further. its just damn hilarious. well, visited 3 condos, namely the Linear, Hillview Regency and Quinterra. well, linear wasn't that nice but Hillview and Quinterra was nice. Hillview had this clean concept which i quite like. what more they had this walk in wardrobe. Quinterra was our group's favourite. the interiors were really nice, i like the lighting concept they used. it made the place look so comfortable and welcoming. its makes you just wanna slack in that place. but they had please do not rest signs all over! lol.

haha. everyone was quite tired by then due to the weather. decided to go to brenda's place since it was so near. but aini and huzair decided not to follow us in the end. so only sharifah and i went over. haha. brenda's dog is really cute. cassie is it ? haha. she was so excited that she even peed! so funny. but at least she aint scared of me. wahahaha. well, chatted and even took some pics at brenda's place. slacked around until even before taking the long bus ride home. but i really enjoy sleeping in the bus la. haha.

the guys came over as usual to watch soccer. and while we were having something to eat. alven was like telling us how he got mistaken for a malay once again. damn funny. laugh until cannot eat mann! he was lining up at this indian stall to buy food when this indian lecturer from behind spoke to him. the lecturer was like mentioning that alven didn't fast, and alven was like but i'm a chinese wad. then the lecturer say, dont need to lie la, i know you are hungry. LOL mann. i dont need to be there to know how funny it was. super funny ! when alven told us everyone was like laughing like hell, even my dad.

2006-10-07T02:11:00.000+08:00

Friday

haha. nothing much today, had a pretty pleasant friday. even went gyming with the guys. nothing much to update about. just that i came ocross an interesting article in the new paper about how a right answer may win you a job.

You are driving in your car on a wild stormy night. your car pass by a bus-stop, and you see three people waiting for bus: 1. An old woman who looks as if she is about to die. 2. an old friend who once saved your life. 3. the perfect man/woman you have been dreaming about. who would you offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car ?

This question poses a moral/ethical dilemma and was once used as part of a job application.

You could pick up the old woman, because she is going to die, and you should save her first.

Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back.

However, you may never be able to find your perfect dream lover again.

The successful candidate, who was hired from among the 200 applicants, had no trouble coming up with his answer.

He said: "I would give the car keys to my old friend, and let him take the old woman to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the woman of my dreams."

2006-10-04T22:42:00.000+08:00

Results

hmm, got back my last sem's results today. erm, i dunno whether to be happy or sad. -_- well, the good thing was that i finally scored As and B+. my previous highest grade from the past 2 sems was B. pathetic right. this time i got As for entec, marketing and pcom, B+ for P2 and C for dsst. but the bad thing is that i failed Uculture. stupid cds mann. now i gotta take another cds during year 3. argh. and it also means that i already got 2 Fs. haha, but at least my gpa improved from 1.9 to 2.28. although there's improvement, its still super low. thats for being lazy during year 1.

well, its too late to regret wads over now. hope that i will have the motivation to work hard once more. i need to pull up my gpa again. well, at least now everyone's improving and much more motivated now. lets work hard together guys. same to those taking As this year. seems like everyone's prelims results have improved from mid years. hope you guys do well in As and get into the uni you want. ahaha.

2006-10-04T00:54:00.000+08:00

School

whee, school has finally started once again. the two weeks of hols seemed to zoom pass even though i didn't have much to do. well, school was supposed to start yesterday, but ingrid passed the message that will classes only start today at around 9 plus yesterday. luckily i haven waken up or gone out of my house. haha. so i slack at home yesterday, so much that i only managed to sleep at 5 plus.
so unsurprisingly, i oveslept this morning. i woke up at like 1130 when classes start at 12. rushed to school and reached at around 1230. well, lesson today was fine, except that i fell asleep a little during retail class. well, but school's so empty at the moment, the rest of tp are still having hols. zzz.
headed down to town to meet alven and beng for dinner. first time i've been there in almost 2 months or so. had pasta, wanted to catch a movie but the timings weren't good, walked around, chatted before going home. haha. have been a long time since i last saw beng. lol.
well, nothing much now actually, just that i'm tired but reluctant to go to sleep. i dunno why. lol. but i think i shall better get going real soon or i'll oversleep again tmr. sigh. ciaoz.

2006-09-29T01:13:00.000+08:00

Memories

haha. i have nothing to do these hols. kinda rare for such a thing to happen. i've been stay at home everyday with nothing to do. just slacking and slacking. well, there's so much time that i began to think of the past, all the good and bad times i had in life, the ups and downs.

i still remember the times during primary school. haha. holy innocents' primary. i dont really remember the lower primary days. but the upper primary days were the best period of primary school education. haha. i had fond memories of my eca back then. soccer ! my favourite. i only joined during pri 5 while the rest joine during pri 4. still remember it was shawn chen who pulled me in. i must say i really enjoyed the cca. i even became the vice-capt soon after. the trainings we had at hougang stadium under the marine castle players and coach. once, i even forgot to being my boots for a match but luckily mr concensio ( i dont know how to spell ) who is my teacher/coach lent me his. i remembered being trashed by the schools. we only won 1 match against teck ghee. i score one and assist the other. was very happy that day. back in class, i used to hang out with manfred, the both shawns, hiang tee, jason and even ze hou. lol. i was a monitor during pri 3 and 4 and a prefect during pri 5 and 6. to think of it now makes me laugh. having to wear those tie that i never wear. playing at back stage when on duty. i remembered that shawn chen, manfred and i all aim to enter zh together and only i made it in the end. manfred got 232, shawn 238 and i 245. manfred went to nanchiau while shawn went to amk sec.

yea, so it went on to sec school. zhonghua, where my fondest memories are. haha. on the first i was very lost at first, however, to my delight, i found out that minloong and roy, my two soccer mates were in my class. haha. so lucky. and ze hou, william, jingfang and a few other class mates were also in zh. so i hung around with minloong and roy a lot. i remembered when we were choosing cca, me and minloong wanted soccer but roy tried to persuade us to join basketball. in the end, he got pulled into npcc while ml and i went to soccer. i became the vice-capt again, but the team was soon disbanded due to lack of funds. so sad. haha. during the 1E2 and 2E2 days. hung around with ml, nick, huaili, roy and andy a lot. haha, but during sec two, roy and andy moved on to play bball while the other 4 of us were soccer crazy ppl. well, i actually played both la. but more soccer. every recess was soccer in the field. 1E1 and 1E2 vs 1N1/2 and 1T1. damn funny. there were so many ppl that we just anyhow kick. just kick in the correct direction and there will surely be somone there. yepps. was very close with ml back then, went to his house almost every other day to play playstation. haha. if not we would go to nick's condo to play tennis. yea, but playing soon got the better of me and my results were terrible.

was streamed into a double science class for upper sec. okay, my class was the worst class. but it was the most fun class to join. among the 6 of us, only nick and i entered 3/4E5, the only class with 2 form teachers although were had the smallest number of students. haha. hung around with josh, sl, hw and nick. the 5 of us were close for the entire two years of upper sec. haha. all those fun. upper sec is no doubt the most enjoyable 2 years of my life. how we play cards in class, make fun of teachers, played soccer and bball and even study. i even joined vball during sec 3. sl pulled me in. well, it was a weird sport for me at first, but i soon began to enjoy it. we used to go to nyjc and sembawang sec for training with the nyjcn team. we ended up getting second in south zone. not bad an achievement considering that i only played the sport for 1 year. well, during sec 3, i join the tauhuay "gang". haha. the most important group of buddies in my life. the gang started of with a bunch of bball guys but soon, a few of us from different cca joined.
the whole long list of 21 ppl consist of the 17 guys, alven, andy, honchan, sherwyn, nicholas, douglas, soon long, joshua, likkhian, kelvin, richard, chinhuat, zehou, roy, shawn, minloong and me. and the 4 girls are eileen, meiling, shiyun and jialing. haha. together, we had so much fun during the secondary days. so much fun that i almost got retained at the end of sec 3. i failed my mid years badly, only passing english and failing the rest. most of the only 20 or 30 over percent. pathetic mann. i kinda woke up during then i worked hard for the second half of sec 3 but in the end. i managed to pass english and geog. with a lot of them being 46, 47, 48 percent. the criteria to get promoted is pass english and 2 subs. i was super down then. i remembered tearing in class. all those hard work i put in was not enough. mrs franklin said that there was nothing she could do. well, but a great big thanks to miss liew. somehow she managed to put in good words for me during one of their teachers meeting. the teacehers decided to let me sit for the a re-exam. however, i was to drop one of the subs, either a maths or one of the sciences. i sat for the re-exam, managed to get promoted but ended up dropping a maths. yea, so during sec 4, miss liew really pushed me very hard for me e maths as it was my only math left. i remembered doing e maths tys while they were having a maths lessons every single day. well, all thanks to her my e maths improved vastly. i remembered being the only person in the entire lvl to fail geog mcq during my mid years. from that, i went to top my class in geog during prelims. haha. my combine humans also improved a lot. i guessed the effort i put in was worth while. i scored 19 points for my prelims. hmm, it was also during sec 4 when i had my first gf, eileen, so upper sec was really the most happening period of my life so far. those days when we played soccer, bball and even mahjong and sher's place. at one point of time we played mahjong almost everyday at sher's place. played so much that we didn't had to look at the tiles to know what tile it is. we could just feel it. lol.

well, but a lot of things happened after O's. broke up with eileen the very next day then got back with her only during our chalet on 30th dec. was posted to srjc but then did a last min appeal into innova because she was posted there. well, innova days were more of a love life period for me i guess. i remembered that my world was her back then. didn't really care about anything else. those were the sweet memories.

then, the release of O lvl results. that fateful day. i remember it so clearly up til now. we tauhuay ppl met at serangoon mac in the morning, and headed to school together. the release of results was in the hall, we had to queue up and sit down according to register number. then, mr lee approached me to ask which jc i was in at that time and where i was planning to go. i had a bad feeling, a really bad feeling about it and then he told me that i failed my english! omg, i could't believe it. i felt desporate, tears flood my eyes. to make things even worse, my L1R5 was 24 points. way above wad i expected. i was devastated. i remembered just grabbing my result slip without looking at it and rushing out of the hall. i remember that fateful stairs where i sat in disbelif. i cried, i really did. i didn't how to face my parents, my teachers, my friends, eileen and myself. i remembered how my friends tried to console me. my dad even came down to school to fetch me. i remembered eileen following us. we went to some hawker centre in tpy, each had a cup of sugar cane and talked. both of them were concerned where i was to go with my results. they ask me to think of the future and not look back. i remembered dreading not to go home after that. my dad fetched us back to zh and we headed to lik's house to slack after that. i think i did not utter a single word for a very long time. i couldn't felt worse. i guess thats one of the greatest blow i had in life. all those hard work i put in during my upper sec days were useless. it was a bad end to what is a brilliant secondary school life. however, being in tp now. i think i was lucky to fail eng and end up here. because i am really enjoying my studies. i found a new interest in design.

this is a rough summary of my life so far, schooling memories that struck me these few days. i miss secondary school like. although poly life is fun, i dare say that secondary school life is much more fun. of course there are many many more things that happened during my schooling days but they are way to many for me to type all of them down. and of course there are some things which i are too personal too. haha. :P i say, friends play a great role in life, especially during your schooling life. i cant live without them. i doubt any of you could. :)

2006-09-24T13:14:00.000+08:00

Burnt

i'm burnt once more. haha. went to sentosa yesterday. haha. it has been a long time since i last saw some of the guys. it has been quite sometime too since i last went sentosa as i skipped the iad gathering there last week. hmm, had some time relaxing and playing at the beach. we played soccer and frisbee!! haha. it was kinda fun. well, most importantly, it was a gathering to catch up with some of the guys, especially nick, really a long time since we last met up. haha. they are all gonna go into studying mode soon i guess. A lvl isn't too far away for them.
well, didn't stay at sentosa for long as they wanted to go marina bay to have steam boat and then watch soccer. well, i realised all of us cant eat as much as we use to. the amount of food we ate compared to 2 or 3 years back is much less, maybe except for sl. lol . well, but steamboat is still fun. the guys came over to my place to watch soccer after that. when my parents reached home they were like wah. cause 6 of them came over. lol. kinda crowded. but still fun. and the good thing is that liverpool won. wahahaha.
played soccer this morning, which made me more burnt. haha. everyone was tired but still played okay i guess. and i'm even more tired physically now. guess i shall slack in front of the com and tv the entire day. argh, my face and back is all red and sore. hope it doesn't peel much.

2006-09-19T01:24:00.000+08:00

Shoot and sleep

haha. i wanna play soccer! lol. i sound like some sec school kid. haha. guessed i haven played much soccer since i enter poly thats why. missed those days back in pri and sec when we could play as much as we wanted to. having no cca sucks, but then again, when school's on, there wun be time for cca.
well. but i played soccer on fri! woots. although it rained, we really had quite a good time playing. even had quite a winning streak, but to be honest, the opponents aint strong. well, but i just love playing soccer, what more we were playing well that day. had fun. scored quite a few goals.
okays, but either than that my life has been plain boring. guess what. i realised that i haven step a foot out of my house since friday. lol! and its already mon now and i have no plans for tmr. omg. this gotta be the most number of consecutive days that i've been at home for the past few years. lol. crazy.
hmm, the guys came over to watch the 2 big matches last night. chan and i are liverpool supporters while ven and matt are man u fans. and the thing is that both liverpool and man u lost. -_- chan and matt went off after the games as they had paper the next day. and i was woken up by george this morning... zzz... he called me like 8 plus in the morning to ask me to help him contact sharifah as she didn't submit her soft copy for marketing final assignment. then nvm, i went back to sleep after that. and he called at 9 plus to ask me contact xu qian this time. then i couldn't contact her as she's back in china and i couldn't contact george back as his line was engaged, so i went to the living room to send a mail. then my parents saw me awake and didn't know that i was planning to go back to sleep and prepared breakfast for me. so after eating, i cant fall asleep already. zzz. and i only feel asleep at 4 plus am the previous night. depriving me of my lovely sleep.
haha, but then again, i had nothing to do at home whole day that i went to sleep. haha. had quite a peaceful sleep as it was raining until my mum and bro starting quarreling again. wakao. my bro shout damn loud. zzz. somemore his gf was here la. -_- really nothing to say. dont really like his attitude. freaking rude mann. my parents are so nice to him yet he dunno how lucky he is. well, i cant do much too. dun wanna make the situation worse. my sis tried before and ended up making things more complicated. i wonder when would he mature and understand mann. we have all tried our best to help him yet he doesn't wanna do anything about his behaviour. sigh. all four of us in the family worry more about him that anyone else. someday i hope he will learn to appreciate and understand our sincerity.
well enough said. i wonder what am i gonna do to spend these two weeks of hols. its only the first official day and i'm already bored. if anyone's free, ask me out. lol. if not i'll end up breaking my record of numbers of consecutive days at home.

2006-09-14T21:28:00.000+08:00

Finally its over

hahahaha !!! feel so relaxed now. its like finally... finally... the block is over. i shall have 2 weeks of hols i guess. lol. but come to think of it, i dunno wad am i gonna do these 2 weeks. everyone is so busy studying. maybe i shall sleep the 2 weeks away. have been greatly deprived of sleep. whee. what should i say ??? okays, i'm satisfied with both my marketing and PcomD presentations. hope to do well. at least thats what i feel la. haha.
hmm, might be going to sentosa with my coursemates on sat. argh. i realised that i have done nothing much recently so there aint anything to blog about except projects. yea, so nothing much happened recently except that i finally went go gym once in like almost two years. lol.
haha. what to say what to say ? i'm like leading a busy yet boring life now. its during times like now when i stop with my projects that i realise how empty my life is at the moment. well, cant help it i guess. used to be too busy for anything but now i'm too free without anything meaningful to do.
okays. i'm like crapping again. maybe i shall blog again when i find more things to say. wahahaha. i shall just relax for the moment. :))

2006-09-08T22:53:00.000+08:00

One down? one more to go ?

hahars. first draft of pcomd and marketing presentations are finally over. well, at least marketing is more or less done. left with the critical writing which is 40%. haha. our presentation was alright i guess. or should i say i hope. lol. kinda rush though. only manage to complete the ppt at 230 when presentation was at 3. rushed to print, bind as well as burn a cd for submission. whee. finally got back the first part of pcomd. lol. guess what, got an A. lol. well, a bit tyco too. thanks hock for the reference although i didn't used much. hmm. well, pcomd is next for me to tackle. lets hope our group does well for this project. only 1 more week. must persevere !!!
well, i am really exhausted already. think i shall take tonight as a rest day. shall continue project tmr or sun. i seemed to had a million project meetings to attend and endless ppt slides to edit the past week mann. i really miss those days where i can just sleep and sleep and sleep. yawns...

2006-09-08T01:42:00.000+08:00

soon soon.

i'm bored, thats why i'm blogging once more. anyway its been a week since i last blogged. well, nothing much happened this week except projects and meetings. haha. morning lesson, then meeting, then lesson then meeting, go home online also meeting. argh. tiring mann. luckily its tiring but not as stress. just time consuming.
well, have just been hanging out in studio everyday. with meetings and more meetings. haha. well, but at least had fun chatting and playing too. whee. tmr's the final presentation for marketing and first draft presentation for pcomd. argh. and next week is final presentation for pcomd. so fast mann. but i'm glad that at least its ending.
after the past few months of hard work, we would finally get a grand total of two weeks of holidays. how cool is that. -_- but i'm still looking forward to it. school's really been tiring. well, 2 more weeks !! very fast. wahahaha.

2006-08-31T20:32:00.000+08:00

Happy Teachers' / Lecturers' day, a day to remember

haha. whee. Pcomd's interview/portfolio presentation is finally over. whee. easier than i expected. should get an okay okay grade ba. lol. the troublesome thing is that we gotta wear formal and stuff. and i went back to zh in formal wear. wakao. the first thing everyone did upon seeing me isn't a hello but to comment on my attire. -_- everyone single one la.
well, glad that i managed to find mr gavin lee and mr choo, my two form teachers. really grateful to both of them. too bad miss chew isn't in zh anymore. she's one of the best humans teachers around i guess. whee. even met miss liew. it has been quite some time since i last spoke to her. very grateful to her too. she really helped me a lot through my secondary school life. had a good chat with her as i met her outside school. couldn't find her anywhere in school, but was lucky to bump into her when we were going off after lunch opp zh. felt glad yet sad at the same time. she look quite frail now. to think that she had so many problems and still had the will to continue teaching in such a stressful environment, really admire and respect her. she even told me some philosophy of life. kinda touched, can tell that she still care a lot abut me. even mr lee too, the questions he asked me tells me that he still cares a lot too.
well, thinking back of what secondary school life was like, i really miss it. well, even though i had many bad times in school, both my teachers and friends helped me pull through all of it. they are why i'm still living happily today. i wont forget some of their words of encouragements back then on that fateful day. my heart aches and my eyes tear whenever i think about what happened back then, but i'm glad that i did not regret my decision in the end. i'm glad i took their advice. i doubt i would ever forget what happened and their care and concern. :)
a pity i haven gone back to my primary school for years. i really wonder how many of my pri sch teachers remember. one i'm sure of is mrs seet i guess. she even send me her regards through my cousin not too long ago. i guess these are the teachers who i would never forget. mrs seet and zhou lao shi from pri sch, miss chew, mr lee and miss liew from sec school. :) HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY to all those wonderful teachers out there once more. whee.

2006-08-24T23:58:00.000+08:00

Blessing in disguise

submission for p2b is finally over. oh mann. i dunno how to say this. i was damn freaking lucky to score an A for it. its like, i didn't even render my pespective and plans. maybe its all due to me cutting my poor left thumb. yepps. everyone was surprised, including me. the lecturers mentioned that our year has set a very high bench mark for the quality of our projects and stuff. they even said that its the first time that they had seen more than 50% of the level come out with good work. AND WE ARE DOING P2 DURING BLOCK SYSTEM! what was supposed to be done during a 15 week semester is done in just one month. geez. this is crazy. well, i guess everyone has been working hard and thats what made me wake up and start doing work. but compared to most of them, i'm still considered a slacker. -_-
but the new block is here. PcomD and Marketing. for PcomD we had to come out with our first draft of cover letter and resume by the second day. which is soon followed by our portfolio and stuff. sounds easy at first but its super tiring trying to get collate everything together. what makes it worse is that school's from 9 to 6 everyday. i barely get any sleep. haha. and i got lucinda as my lecturer for PcomD, she looks like some sort of fictional character. LOL. damn funny, but she's nice. george for Marketing is fine.
hmm, help ingrid and her project group with their project 3 filming. i was to be a docter. oh mann, damn funny. had to dressed up as a docter. formal wear, tie, leather shoes, black specs and i even gel down my hair. they said i look professional that way. but its... you know... -_- haha. nevermind, had some fun and it was also the first time experiencing such a thing.
ahh. i'm so exhausted right now. luckily i haven't been jogging for the past few days, if not i would be worn out by now. i'm very sure my body need rest now or i'm gonna fall sick. can feel that something isn't right. TAKE CARE all my friends. everyone's so busy at the moment, haven met up with everyone for a long time.

Finally

whee. finally done with all my p2 stuff. these are some pics of my final model and perspective drawings. :) at least the river now is much better. maybe could had added more interior details but i guess its fine. the two pics below are the outcomes of lighting simulaion. the three perspectives are some of my drawings of the interior of my model. hope you guys like them although it isn't rendered. well, finally after eight weeks of p2, i'm gonna get a great reward of only one day of rest before the new block start. how cool is that. -_-. haha. nevermind, getting used to it already. :P

Model

Whee, finally my final model's up. with the cost of my left rhumb. -_- so sian ! i fingers slipped when cutting out one of the walls for my model and i ended up cutting my left thumb. wakao. the first thing i knew was that blood was dripping. the second thing was that the five or six tissue paper i was using to cover it was red and thirdly, i was bandaging it up. my left thumb looks so fat now with those layers or bandages. geez, bloody deep cut.
haha. nvm, it'll heal. yea, i finally finished my model. woots. although there's more touch up to be done. a little more on the interior details and i'm gonna change the river. it looks like a children swimming pool now. gonna go school tmr to do lighting simulation and perspectives. hopefully i will have time to complete my CAD drawings as well.
well, life's been fine recently. sometimes it feels good to slack at home and rest.

its already almost 4 am but i feel weird, in the half sleepy half working mood. sigh, and i wanna wake up early tmr to do my project. guess i'll have to work more efficiently tmr mann. if not i wun have enough time to print my stuff for submission. seems like i might even have to go school on sat.

Exercise Eat Sleep

i realise i haven been updating much these few weeks. woots. finally its the weekend! haha. it was a good thing i overslept yesterday. was supposed to be in school for a talk by some designer at 10. i opened my eyes to see my hp showing 9.45. then i was like ARGH, tired. so i decided not to go. haha. the next moment i opened my eyes it was 150. so i dragged myself out of bed and headed to school, only to see taibin at the bus stop who told me the talk was postponed. wahaha, lucky me. if not i'll surely be grumpy and sleepy. had consultation, then went to bookshop got some stuff, hanged around in studio for a while before heading home. decided to go for a jog upon reaching home. i'm super unfit now. cant imagine... zzz... i only ran between 2 to 3 km. -_- dun laugh at me. must run at least 4 to 5km the next time. spent some time at the fitness corner before heading home. and i bathe and all. the moment i sat down on my com chair, the guys called and asked me to meet up. so i was like err... okays. headed down to gardens even though i was tired, met them at coffee bean. had a good chat with them before heading down to chomp chomp. wow. it has been ages since i last met up with them. everyone's so busy at the moment. had a good dinner, chatted somemore before heading home. and finally!!!!!!! woots. i managed to sleep at around 3am. its a big achievement considering that i usually sleep at 6 everyday. was supposed to play bball in the morning but it ended up raining, so i got somemore sleep! hahaha. went hougang green to 'study' with them. matt hc and alven studied while ks and i sketched and draw away. so we 'studied' and chatted until evening time, headed down to pcc to play some bball. doug and sher came along as well. haha. its the first time i saw sher since he entered ns. wow. its like 2 or 3 months since i last played bball. it feels good to be playing and sweating once again. help me relieve those project stress too. yea. thats about it. had a good time relaxing for a day. gotta continue with my projects soon. ciaoz...

2006-07-23T02:52:00.000+08:00

Busy busy busy

argh! its seems like so many things happened this week, yet it also felt like nothing did happened. i dunno how to describe all of these. been so busy with projects and stuff recently that i hardly had time to think about or do any other things. one thing i'm certainly lacking of is precious sleep. seems like i only had 2 to 3 hours of sleep each night for the past week. i wonder wads wrong with me. i feel so tired, but once i lie down on my bed, there's like a restriction. i can only fall asleep around 5 or 6 and i gotta wake up at 7 or 8 plus. it totally sucks. in school, when the clock ticks to 12 or 1, my eyes automatically closes. my body clock seems to be upside down, i'm nocturnal ! yea, and i'll let everyone down cause i really had to sleep during that time. and then KK said i got sleep disease cause even during 10 mins of debriefing i can doze off. sigh, and i only got a c+ for P2a which is 40%. sucks mann, my sketching skills totally sucks. i doubt anyone in the entire IAD has worse sketches than me. really need to improve. must really do well for this part b now. submitted 10% of the other 60% yesterday. think i did okay. now i need to find inspiration of some kind. Nathan Algren, please inspire me. lol. fat hope, only is he ever existed. guess i wun have time to go out as often already. a good thing that everyone has upcoming exams, tests and submissions and are all busy too. guess everyone shall strive and work hard together. i'll surely spend a lot more time in studio these few weeks. argh. i feel so tired, so exhausted. dun even have energy to go out. just feel like relaxing and resting in bed all day long. well, hopefully i'm motivated enough to do well for p2b.
whee. everyone seems troubled at the moment. most seem to have their own personal problems and stuff. well, we'll all get through these soon i hope. the best i can do is to wish everyone luck. :P and sorry sher, really couldn't make it on fri. congrats on getting the best performing recruit. enjoy yourself in army. well, cheers everyone. get on with life and live it happily. dont do/don't do stuff that you'll regret later. argh. i dunno wad i'm typing already. this is all so random. i shall go do project/ sleep/ slack now. haha... random random random...

2006-07-15T04:28:00.000+08:00

Finally

FINALLY !!! P2a is over... phew... omg... i'm so tired now. i haven slept for like more than 40 hours!!! omg... i tell you it was the first time i was in such a rush for a submission. didn't expect my model to take so long to be completed. at 530 i realised that i didn't had a camera at home to take pics of my model. panic mann!!! quickly smsed ze, luckily he was able to pass to me before he went off for his competition. big thanks to him. i only finished it at 945 when submission was at 1 and i had my storyboards to do. and i spent like 20 to 25 min just taking photos of my model. somemore had to upload and stuff. so i was left with so little time to do my storyboards. i managed to come up with something simple in the end. hopefully its alright. the worst thing was that i couldn't get a cab!!! zzz i think 15 to 20 cabs zoomed past me before one finally stopped. i think i feel asleep instantly on the cab. so the journy felt like it was 2 min although i think it was 15 min. haha. the worst thing was that at 110, i haven printed my storyboards! panic arh. was rushing to convert the a2 layout into 2 a3 layouts. then syafiq's labbie hanged while i was saving and stuff. so troublesome. luckily there was a delay on the setting up of the boards for pin up. managed to pin up on time. haha. felt so relax after that mann! woots. went for lunch then watch tokyo drift in studio with the guys. hmm, the show was not bad. headed down to town to meet up with beng, ven, leen and huat after that. walked around. leen went off early so the 4 of us had seoul garden for dinner. huat went off after that. tuesday gang (ven, beng and i ) then went to cartel for drinks. sat down and talked. and i fell asleep mann. was really too tired. we were waiting for our show at 12. wah! i was so blur mann! i left cartel without taking my bag. then in the toilet, alven was asking where's my bag. i still gong gong. then think a while i ask him to help me take. then he went " i'm peeing now how you expect me to help you take. " lol ! i too blur liao. haha. at least i managed to stay awake for most of the pirates of the caribbean. hmm, the show was not bad too. haha. too tired la. now reach home bathe le not that tired. but as i'm typing, my eyes are getting heavier and heavier. haha. think i better go get some rest. nights peeps.

2006-06-12T16:54:00.000+08:00

WTF

wtf! this is getting crazy! what has happened to this world !
argh...
sigh...
yesterday was the end of my grandpa's funeral...
today's the start of my 2nd uncle's...
this world is so superficial, its all because of money! its stupid isn't it. after my grandpa's death, it was understood that all his money went to one of my 4th aunt's family. yea, so the entire funeral and stuff was paid using my grandpa's money. then today, after collecting his ashes, they started to argue about money again. they didn't care about my grandpa's funeral and all they care about is money la. f*** them. sigh... my family, being a neutral party, planned the funeral. my dad had to take all the responsibility and did all the planning. and all they can do is complain. they didn't even help one bit and wanna make so much noise. food not nice also complain to my dad. wtf, its vegeterian food leh, they are not used to it, of course its not nice to them. even i find it alright. i still think that some of the dishes were not bad. it was understood that we would have a buddhist cum taoist funeral, so everyone was to eat vegeterian food. yea, and what did they do, buy chicken rice and eat in at the funeral, infront of my grandpa. they could had just gone upstairs to eat right. nvm about that. they dun even respect the monks who had came to pray for my grandpa. they dun even follow what the monks said. cant they even do this for my grandpa, its only 5 days!!! wtf, 5 days only!!! so selfish. so now, my 4th aunt's family got all the money. and we made donations for my grandpa to the temple, and now they demand a receipt. come on! its donations... i dunno wads wrong with them...
sigh...
today, all the siblings sat together to hold a meeting. yea, so they argued about the past and present. some of them wanted to take credit for what they had done. what credit la! its for their father mann, credit my ass. yea, so argue until my 2nd uncle suffered from a heart attack. he ended up being sent to the hospital... and passed away soon after... before that, i heard that my aunt was losing herself again so they quickly took her away. i dunno what to comment... i dunno what to say... what's wrong with them... its not like they need to money so badly or what. so what if my grandpa was rich, so what if the money left behind was a very large sum. of all the 11 families, i dare say that mine is one of the poorest 2. they all have big houses and cars. yea, all the multiple bmws, juguars, merzs and stuff. they all hold very respectable jobs. each of their familes monthly income is surely 5 or 6 digits regardless if only 1 or 2 of them work. my family dun even own a vehicle damn it. and we aren't even complaining or what la. since my grandpa did not distribute the money then so be it la. cant they respect his decisioin ?
since i'm not directly involoved, i really pity those innocent parties in this big mess. i'm sure not all of my uncles and aunts are like these. but those few really showed their true colours finally. i pity my cousin, he lost both is grandfather and father within a week. i pity my grandma. she hadn't had any say in all of these. i doubt they would listen to her too. she's his wife, she also didn't get any money and she ain't even making any noise la. i can tell that she's upset that such a thing happened within a family. i feel sad for her too.
sigh, i really dun understand this world...
i only thought all of these could only happened in dramas..
maybe i'm too niave...
sigh...
i thought i could relax finally and all these stuff happened...

2006-06-11T20:47:00.000+08:00

Happy goodbye

today's cremation day. a very sad yet happy day. sad to say goodbye but happy that he can now rest in peace. the weather today was perfect too. as soon as we started to move the coffin, the weather became dark and as soon as we boarded the bus, the rain poured down heavily for all of us. its like heaven is crying for my grandpa too. and i'm proud to say i ate vegeterian food for the past 5 days which the funeral lasted. haha! okays... lame... today, most of us wept our hearts out for one last time for my grandpa. i think i wept 3 or 4 times today. its a natural thing okay! so dun call me a crybaby... well, i just cant help it. and weeping can be contagious too. it only takes one person to start before the entire family is in tears. even all my younger cousins teared too. well, this is a very important phase in life. i've learnt and experienced a lot from the past week. but its true that it has taken a lot out of me too. i dare say i'm e - x - h - a - u - s - t - e - d, exhausted. well, i guess i'll spend the next two days resting as much as i can. hopefully. :) well, the weather's fine once more. its time to look forward once more. i'm gonna look forward to the next phase of life. :) i feel relaxed finally.
last but not least, i would like to thank those who had shown concern, accompanied me, stood by me, tried cheer me up, sent their condolences, helped me and much more. i'm really grateful to all of you. i love my family, i love my friends. thank you everyone !!!!!

2006-06-08T00:07:00.000+08:00

Rest in peace

thought that i should dedicate this post to my grandpa, for acomplising an amazing feat of living 89 years of his life. he's someone i respect a lot. he came to singapore along with his brother. starting up his own business and family here. if not for him, there whouldn't be me.
i fell asleep around 3 this morning. my parents came in at 5 to say that my grandpa was in a critical condition before rushing of to the hospital. i was too tired at the moment that i could hardly recall what they said. it was only upon waking up at 7 plus did i saw the sms that my dad sent. he said that my grandpa had passed away. at that point of time, i just stared into the blank. although i knew that this would come sonner or later, i still wasn't that prepared. the next thing i knew was that i was gonna be late for work. i quickly rush out of the house. after rushing out. the thought of my grandpa struck me. i could remember the times when i was a little boy... how he used to dote on us a lot... how generous he was... he was physically very strong for his age. he was hospitalise two years back due to falling down when moving potted plants. he was so active despite his age. i could remember how he would smile very cheerfully each time we called him. tears overcome me soon, i could not help it. it wasn't like 3 years back when i lost my other granddad. maybe its cause i have grown up now. i could hardly talk the entire day. my mind kept wandering. i'm glad that i managed to see him two days back. i still remember how much he was suffering then. he had difficultly breathing. i could hear his breathing very clearly even thought i was seated some distance from him. i could remember how he groaned in pain when the doctor changed his drip from his left hand to the right. i could remember how swollen his left hand was. i could remember how he kept asking us to on the fans even though there weren't any in the ward. i could remember the smile he had on his face when we managed to convinced him that the fans were on by using a cardboard to fan him. i could tell that he was very happy then. i'm glad that he went away very peacefully. he's someone who had lived his life to the fullest.
attended his funeral just now, i could tell that everyone there was sad and tired even though they all put on a brave front. had a look at his corspe, and i really prayed for him. i hope he has gone somewhere peaceful. just wanna tell him not to worry about us and rest in peace.
a great big thanks to all those who have showed me concern and sent their condolences. and dont worry, i'll try my best to be strong.
