NY 30th Anniversary & random

Saturday
I almost decided not to attend, coz my friends can only reach there at 5.30pm...
then, boi called me to go there and accompany him as the guest-of-honour will only come at 5pm...so, i went...
I really hate taking bus 133...it takes forever to come...nvm, shall not elaborate on the travelling part.

So, i reached there...there was so many people, and it's quite hard for me to find boi...actually it's easy, only I can't find..haha...
saw Waifu, angie and Darwin (boi's ex-classmates)...they told me where boi was, and i finally saw him...the sound system area...under the stairs..haha..how would i see?
ok, then hy reached early, so at least I got a company...haha...then saw marie, cy and linah..
bought a pair of bears wearing NY uniform, a male and a female..hehe...they will deliver to me in June...the bears are lovely..
oh, we saw Mr Tan (our physics tutor), still the same, and he said the 3 of us still stick together...haha...
then we saw Mr Lee (our chem tutor)...as usual, his jokes that we'll never understand...he told us that the only two buildings that were not demolished are the R block and the old library...but you wun know that they were old blocks, coz everything has changed...there is even a squash court at R block k...haha...
the labs were much much nicer than those we had in the past...*pout*
there is only one thing that never change, the container classroom...haha...coz there are not enough classrooms for the students, so some students still study in container classrooms...but new ones..

each of us has one goodie bag, which contains a CD-rom and a book of wishes contributed by all ex- and current NYJCians...boi's face was inside too, coz he wrote something inside..haha..then realised that boi's business friends were also from NY through the book...these are wonderful memories...
i left the compound at about 8pm, where everything ends...coz i need to wait for boi..hehe..
we then travelled to hougang for dinner before heading to his house to watch tv..sounds weird...

Sunday
met boi at 11am lidat and started to get the necessities..
we parked at Paradiz Centre, and we went Parkmall for lunch before we started walking to PS to get boi new working apparels..
then, we had fruit juices while we continued to walk to Ngee Ann City..as usual, I had Carrot & Celery, while boi had Green Apple...and he was complaining that his green apple juice had celery taste...lolz~
he isn't the first one who complain everytime I drink such juice..lalala..
At Ngee Ann City, we went Kino to look at books, and boi bought his favourite mag, Fortune..
then, we went Best Denki to get my mum's steamboat...we couldn't have time to shop, and we had to head back to Paradiz Centre to get rid of the heavy appliance..poor boi, he was the one carrying it throughout the walking journey..but he never even moan..hehe... *give him a hug*
we then travelled back to his house, coz he didn't know where to go..
nothing much to say for the rest of the day...I got a hello kitty pen from his sister..hehe...yup, that's all..


back to study...

studying for MS3003.

i did some revision just now, and realised that there are quite a lot of things i dunno...
shall put in more effort for my last paper...

Angeline bought boi and me "Magic dust: lollipop + popping candy"...so nice of her..
I've eaten this before, still remember the fizzy feeling in your mouth when you eat the lollipop? I wonder what causes such reaction in the mouth...haha...
but i dun eat sweets, so i give it to my sister...and she asked me the same question...
I dunno too..
but i think it's our saliva...
coz the candy contains acid and carbon dioxide, so our saliva acts as a "middle man" for the reaction to take place...and hence the fizzle...got logic, rite?
haha, correct me if i'm wrong k...

well, i always love to find out the theory behind these interesting stuffs...
next to work on, may be the "pop" drink...弹珠水...haha...ok, i'm a very boring person, who loves to gain knowledge on such crazy things..haha..

one more paper down..

can't really recall about my paper today...
hy, cy and me went cine's kbox after the paper...haha...
it was really fun!

met boi for dinner at Marutama Ramen @ Central...it is really good...they sell limited dishes, only ramen...
the ramen was really good, especially the egg...btw, you have to add the egg at $1...
well, you may say what so good about the egg...have you eaten a hard-boiled egg that has 3/4 cooked egg yolk? those who like egg yolks that are watery ones...yesh, it's exactly like this...i dunno how they do it..but it is really amazing...how can a hard boil egg has watery egg yolk????
and it is really nice...i will go there again, for sure...


my neck really got problem...
the second and third neck bones were shifted, i dunno what they are...but it sounded serious to me...
has to go for an xray or something soon...
sigh~
hope it wun worsen...
also, my health problem...
sometimes i just feel like giving up on myself...
nothing is good about me, body so problematic, health bad, mind not functioning well, studies not good...
what's good, tell me?
i'm trying so hard to be optimistic, yet setbacks come one after another...
ok, fine...

tell me, how much more optimism should i have?
*gone to bathe*

random

something is wrong with my previous counter, so i changed one...
a nicer one, i thought.

hope boi will appreciate my effort in helping out...
i really love to do such stuff...coz i love brainstorming, and mindmapping...haha..
ok, how nice if i can have the same enthusiasm for studying.

NYJC's 30th Anniversary
This saturday, 28 Apr 2007
3pm to 8pm

i'm going for the celebration...hopefully cy and hy are going, if not i will be alone... *sob sob* coz boi will be busy at the backstage, i think...
hey, all NYJCians, if you are free, or wanna take a break from the stupid exams, it's a good alternative..haha..
ok ok, if you are interested k..

back to study...*sianz half*

2 papers left..

phew~
finally, i left with two papers....which are the easier ones..

today had my MS3030...some HRM and Entrepreneurship thingy..
dun understand why we have closed-booked exam on this...
it's the skills that we are required to learn and know about it, not to memorise and forget...
anyway, everyone just crap their way through...and i'm one of them...
some questions require a lot of common sense...haha..but i lack..
there is this question on steps for Creative thinking...i almost wanted to write down "to answer this question, it stimulates my creative thinking skills."
yar, i just think of possible answers that were applied to my daily life and wrote them down...
think the marker will say,"a whole lot of rubbish..." with crosses all over...

anyway, it's over...
jia you for my MS3001!!!!

a song

《为明天》

当昨天画上句点
何不就让它悄悄如烟
看今天 更光鲜
别忘了还有明天

选你将来的志愿
一步步再慢慢去实现
不管路有多远
有多险 有多圈

在那很美很炫的童话今天
我还拿着青蛙王子的剑
来披荆斩棘 去恶除奸
这感人画面
为幸福 为明天

并不一定要实现
心就会有更辽阔空间
用想象才能够飞得高飞得远
当昨天画上句点
何不就让它悄悄如烟
看今天 更光鲜
别忘了还有明天

选你将来的志愿
一步步再慢慢去实现
不管路有多远
有多险 有多圈

在这无悔无怨美丽新世界
我遇见了美丽丑陋的脸
喝酸甜苦辣一长天
但是我情愿
为感动 为明天

痛虽然有深有
泪擦干那就会好一点
风虽然看不见
但自由无极限


a meaningful and nice song...

The only word in my mind now.

STUDY!

study...study...study...study...study...study...study...study...
study...study...study...study...study...study...


I'm learning to embrace Metallic and Ceramic Materials...haha..
think i'll love ceramics more than metals...dunno why...maybe our relationship has established after the whole semester of modules on semiconductors...haha...

semiconductors, endless and endless of it..
just finished microelectronics, and here is another round of semiconductors...arrrggghhh..


back to study..
hope exams end soon...

Flunked!

one module down..

feel so depressed..
i told myself i must do well this time round, and yet, i forget all the BLOODY formulae when i stepped into the exam hall..
idiot!
well, when i say flunk, i mean it...
not like those people's definition of not scoring 'A's & 'B's...
added up the marks that i've attempted, i merely pass 40...
and it's not as if i can get the 40 marks all right...
ok, fine..

no time to moan..
shall study hard for the rest of the modules...


ps: i am really stupid...coz my brain is.

Cars.

I've never talked about cars, coz i know little about them..haha...I heard more about them through friends and boi.

boi has always told me about his two favourite cars....
he said IF he is rich enough, he will wanna own two cars...
here they are:

Toyota RAV4, a SUV, a car that he will buy, no matter what. A good car, as Toyota is famous for long-lasting cars.


next, if he is rich enough to afford a second car, he will want BMW M6, a coupe...but i have not seen one in Singapore yet leh...hmm, all i've seen is Z4..



As for me, I don't know what I like...so sad, coz cars aren't my cup of tea.
But I love cars that are well-designed...haha...
nothing much to add...
did this because i'm bored...study is really a boring and tedious task..
*let out a long sigh*

alright, shall continue with my studies....way behind time...oh gosh!

I will be busy after exams, I think.

I'm trying to plan for things to do after exams..isn't it a joke when my exams haven't even started?
well, I'll have to study on tues and thurs during the holidays, for my PE..
so the rest of the days???
wanted to get a job, but i have no idea where to go? any lobang?
really desperately in need for money, to replenish my drained account...to add some for my next semester's allowance...

i need to go check up on my health and my neck, which gives me problems..will drag boi along too...hehe..
of course, to exercise...i wanna keep fit, been too prone to illness for this semester, due to my poor immune system.
hope everything will turn out fine...

yar, study hard for my exams!!
i have promised..

The "M" word.

This is a common word that is being discussed among yanning's school-mates...
A word that many students yearned, and yet, my sister wasn't even interested in, and she is quite sick that many people trying hard to find ways getting in..
anyway, a letter from NUS came to inform my sis that she is shortlisted for it, and the procedures are really troublesome. This has shown how difficult it is to get in..

here it goes:
50%: contributed by her "A" levels result, and the essay.
50%: contributed by her interview, test and portfolio...

you may wonder why she is shortlisted when she wasn't even interested...
well, she didn't know what to choose for her future...and so, we suggested to her to put it for a try...it's a year of Dragon, where there are so many people fighting for such a limited vacancies, so we thought chances are extremely low, but why not a try?
so she put it down...
and now, she received the letter, and she didn't want to bother..
yanxin and I told her that since her overseas scholarship hasn't come, and it seems quite unlikely to, so why not just go for it? anyway, to choose a hundred out of 3000 candidates, is really very tough..
but at least she tries, rite?
so, she started to work on it...
hope that she can get it... :)

as for the MOE award, well, it is really not-so-good...they only sponsor your school fees if you study Chem or Maths...yar, to be a teacher for life..maybe that can be a second alternative...
but we know that her main interest is in podiatry, and that requires an overseas scholarship...
hmm, shall let her decide on her own.

back to my boring study.... *pout*

Noise! Everywhere around my house.

arrggghhhh~
stop the drilling and stuff...
it's been giving me headaches having to hear those drillings...the consistent noise that these drills produces are really causing damage to my ears, as well as my focus on my study...
WTH!

then at night, my mum will be the one producing noise...
scolding, complaining, whatever...
really had enough of the environment that i'm living in..
what a torture!


complaints aside,
boi's sister has came back from China yesterday...
he told me alot about her trip and all the terrible incidents she experienced there...
it's kinda funny, i thought.
heard from boi that she bought me a bag...haha....hope my mum wun be complaining how much bags i have...
anyway, boi's sister is a sweet and nice girl, funny at times...
his family is really very interesting...
wonder how his parents brought the three of them up...hmmm, they are so different, in terms of their characters...
haha...the "dao" and cool brother, the funny and lazy boi, and the sweet and cheerful sister...
ok, enough of all these...

i have to tolerate those noise and get back to study...
tell me, how is it possible for me to concentrate????

你。。。

人可以是那么的虚假，那么的难以猜测、难以了解。
曾是那么单纯的友谊，为何要变得那么不单纯？
内心的挣扎，谁会知道？
难道你还没放弃？如果是这样，为何不说出来？
矛盾的头脑，恐惧的心灵，复杂的关系。。。这一切，何时才能平息？
人总是会畏惧一些他们陌生的东西，而我就是畏惧那难以揣摩的你。。

请问，我认识的你还是以前的你吗？

Some photos taken yesterday.

This is where i tend to come when i'm bored....after studying since morning...

here are some photos taken yesterday, the rest are in xianwei's camera...

The fruit cake....though it doesn't look appealing, it really tasted great. How i wish i can have one more slice, but i was too full then... :)



The buffet, by Lavish..everything was nice, though the rendang's standard has dropped..
and everyone's favourite - the chocolate fountain... *slurp*


last pic: the founder of EA...haha...
thank them for the wonderful buffet. *clap clap*
the photo is kinda obscene..look at what boi is pointing at? (fyi, each letter is a sex position..lolz~)
ps: boi, i think you look fatter than xianwei le...oh no!!! (xianwei must be laughing....he has slimmed down, finally...haha...see what miracles can NS do?)

to cheer me up.

though boi doesn't know the reason for being sad, he roughly saw me blogging when he returned from his conversation with his colleagues..
he knew that i'm not happy all along, even when i've been putting on a smile in front of everyone.
it's not that i dislike them, i just feel that he should enjoy such function without me, coz i know that i will be a burden then...
well, maybe my presence is more important than caring about my feelings..i wun blame him, coz the matter maybe worse if i'm not there ba...i dunno...
knowing that i'm moody, boi brought me to Changi Airport, where we shared the happy moments together...
remember that i love the wind blowing onto my face while travelling on PIE?
yes, i have the privilege to enjoy that again!!! :)
though it started off with slight drizzle, it stopped, and boi unwound the windows and allowed me to get in touch with the wind out there..he enjoyed that moment too..
we sang songs that we heard from YES 93.3, and simple communication was established..
I had a great time then, and all the unhappiness ceased.

We had Popeye for dinner, though unhealthy, he enjoyed, as i'm the first one who ate it with him 3 years ago. before, he hadn't even tried it. :)
we walked to the viewing gallery after that to see the planes taking off...it's a pleasure to be able to do that..
we yearned to travel together one day...leaving all worries behind and leave this place for a while...

well, great moments are always short.
we had to leave that place early, as boi had his event the next morning, which is today, sunday.
the day ended with comforts and peace in my mind..
thankew boi for cheering me up, and making an extra effort to bear with my moodiness..


Sometimes i will ponder, what if i have only a month's life to go? what will I do? what will everyone does?
perhaps, that month will be the happiest time that I'll have in my life...
though people around me may feel sad, i will be able to get what i want -- respect...
sounded selfish...hehe..

so, live life without any regrets...coz you wun know what will happen the next second.
I had so much regrets in the past, but i wun allow more to come..
i promise!

Why am I here?

having to ask this question, it really shows my mood that i'm not happy...unhappy doesn't mean anyone agitate me..
i just feel that i'm so out-of-place..yar, perhaps i belong to somewhere, but here, at this moment...
i'm very happy when i get to eat waffles at the bus stop with my sister, drinking bubble tea and chit-chat...
however, when i reach here, i was totally lost/awkward...can't really find a right word to express my feeling.
nothing is wrong, only that i am simply out of place..i doesn't belong to here, why should i come?
i had a torment in my brain yesterday night, trying to persuade myself to come, to give boi some face...
but, i knew that i wun be happy...and true enough, i'm totally not..
felt extremely sianz, and to be frank, i feel that i have wasted my time...
i could have studied at home, but what have i done for the entire afternoon and evening? I don't know..
I tried to make myself enjoy and blend into this function, but i failed and resulted in more unhappiness within me..
and guess what, i'm now still in his office waiting for him to finish his stuff...

well, seriously speaking, i shouldn't even come today...
at least i will feel better..
maybe my mum needs me more at this time?
anywhere that I could be useful...but definitely not here..
EXTRA!
yar, that's the word...E.X.T.R.A...
seeing boi's happy and cheerful side made me think that i've indeed sadden him alot..
he seemed so happy and his ownself..
well, i don't know...

*boi's watching*
gotta go...

Special Semester 1 is out!!!

got into an ulu module..."LANGUAGE PUZZLE:THE STUDY OF HUMAN LANGUAGE"

brief description on the module:
This course provides an introduction to the scientific study of human languages. This is also referred to as Linguistics. The course answers fundamental questions such as these: How does language work? How does language shape our thoughts and behaviour? Do men and women speak differently? Can language be used to solve crimes? The study of human language is divided into several areas which include language sounds and patterns, the relationship between words, sentence structure and word meaning. This linguistic knowledge is then applied in various disciplines ranging from psychology and sociology to education and computer science.

SIANZ~
kian still says it sounded fun...thanx leh...
actually I think it should be ok..only got a lot of things to memorise, worse, GOT EXAM!!!
argh~

well, to fulfil my last prescribed elective, i have to do take it..
why isn't my last elective a general one? at least i can take Korean language!! hehe...and can score abit..lolz~
nvm, nvm....

no mood to study...think i'll start studying on sunday..
tomorrow has to wake up early and reach my youngest sis' school by 8am plus...her speech day lor...
Hope it ends early, so that I have time to go down for EA 2nd anniversary celebration..haha..
tomorrow comes faster, but leaves slowly...so that i could enjoy myself before i started mugging..

bought a pouch for my zen...and it fits well...hehe..
coz the free pouch given by creative is really lousy...the material is not good, it comes off easily and dirty my zen...and the pouch is white...so it is dirty by now...haha...
I'll wash it and use it for something else....lalala..
I'm spending my money wisely nowadays...only on what is necessary..am I? well, it's up to you to gauge..

I'm feeling happy now..don't take this feeling away. :)

piano versions...

Summer Scent - 左右为难 (piano version)



Summer Scent - Serenade by Schubert

(grand piano)


(organ)



Saw one child playing this song at a concert with piano accompaniment....and throughout is screeching of the violin with slight off-tune and the loud piano sound. Well, I know it is very difficult to play a violin...but i just can't stop laughing, esp. when I saw someone commented that her windows cracked after playing the video...hahaha...well, it's a good try, but be more prepared before performing..

^Note! Lower down your speakers' volume before playing... :)

Today's MS3005 quiz.

I think I should be able to pass the quiz today, as it is open-booked...
and the test is mainly copying points from the notes, so it means that those who copy fast enough, will score more...haha...
I couldn't finish my paper, as there are too many things to do within 1hr..
well, pray hard that i will not do badly for it..

studying for MS3002 now, though I have MS8005 tomorrow..
Simply because MS3002 is a core module and MS8005 is only an elective...hehe..
but i will still study lar...
I guess I'm on par again... *phew* till exams come...haha..

exams in 8 days' time..and yet, there are still quizes and report to finish...tutorials to attend...
I thought there is supposed to be a week off before exam???
seems like I have no time to take a break...eh, 2 deep breaths of break is better than nothing...haha..
ok ok, shall not waste time...
jia you!


ps: meeting boi later. eventhough it's a short meet-up, to accompany him to order cake & buy marshmallows for this saturday's celebration, and fetch my sister at 10plus, it's good enough..haha...so happy...

i'm running out of time!

oh no, look at the time now?
and I've not done any revision...
for god sake...i really think that time really flies very fast.
i've been filing my tutorials and notes, printing out stuff that i've not...and the time just dun wait for me..

trying to get myself organised..
reading up online lectures, trying to catch up with what i've missed out.
pray hard that i will do well for my studies..
alright, shall get started.


ps: happy birthday, wen...

pps: i miss boi.

What date is it today?

It's a frequently asked question by me, nowadays.
have the tendency to keep forgetting the dates..that's because i'm too preoccupied with my own stuff...haha..
just realised that this friday is Good Friday...no wonder boi asked me if i could accompany him for a hair cut this friday..I was thinking not realising that it's a public holiday, "If i'm gonna wait for you to finish ur haircut, then wat time will i be having my dinner?" And now, *grin* I know why...haha...
should i go get my fringe cut?
I'm sort of addicted to short fringe after the previous haircut..and now, it has grown long, and is irritating my eyes..
so, should I????
Will think of it on friday then..

Online lectures....one after the other....
OMG, i can't believe that i've been watching a long series of lectures on my computer...
some lectures are really boring, some are info-overloading, some are just interesting...
ok, I still have a lot to go through, and I still have to study for my quizes and exams..so busy!!!
and I committed a sin....I sneaked out of my study table and went out for a movie yesterday....TMNT!
it's nice...not like what many have commented. Perhaps it's because the turtles only fight once together, and that doesn't satisfy them...haha...but i think it's more meaningful and interesting than Mr. Bean's holiday. BUT, some people don't think so...hor, boi!
and I love watching Channel 5 in the morning...the extreme makeover: home edition...the Debbie Travis Facelift. Typically all the interior designing..haha..my favourite!!
How I wish I can have them to design my house....hmmm.... *daydreaming*

I'm hungry now...argghh~
bad, my mind keeps thinking about food...oh no..
coz my dinner is quite pathetic, and looking at my grandma's cook...i would rather not eat...
It's not that I'm picky on food, it's that the layer of oil that you see on the soup, the glossy appearance of the vegie, the fried fish without seasoning...all so oily...I would rather starve than eat those stuff to clog my veins/arteries...my health is more important.

boi called...and after 5min, I hung up...
I doesn't know what i'm thinking...I wanted him to call, but he called to ask the obvious qns that I've told him before...
that will really shut down my conversation with him...
so since we have nothing to say, I hung up..
What's wrong?

alright, enough of blogging...

A new background music.

Another korean song that i love...
it sounded sad, coz it's from a sad show, Summer Scent...
Hope you guys like this song... :)

I'm totally in love with Korean stuff!!!!
oopz, boi will be angry...haha...who cares. *pout*

alright, need to continue to study le...
加油！

A happy weekend.

Oh, yesterday was yanxin's birthday...and it was boi's grandma's birthday too...

just let me jot down what I did yesterday....
I went to NTU to meet up with Prof Chen to listen to his briefing on the FYP projects....
went there with Jiehui and Hwee Yun...
Prof Chen treated us drinks to make ourselves feel comfortable...not bad rite?
the projects are quite interesting..haha..his projects are mainly to enhance on the current materials used to prevent pollution, synthesize a new source to replace fossil fuel, and semiconductor devices...and I've already given him my name for one of the projects. SO, does that means that I finally settled my FYP??

I wanted Joachim, my mentor, too...coz his projects are really interesting, and he don't need any students with bio background...but he got far too many students on his waiting list le...*pout* His projects are mainly on the biodegradable drug-eluting coronary heart stents, effects of micron-sized debris from hip-replacement implants on bone resorption, etc...mainly on biomaterials....very interesting rite...

well, well....

after the briefing, I travelled to Bugis to meet up with boi...he is supposed to fetch me from NTU, but he was caught in a traffic jam...no choice lor..

We got a 3D card for Yanxin's birthday...really interesting...it's a washing machine...haha..


My ugly drawing while boi was driving. (the envelope)


The pop-up card. (inside)


Our precious words. (back of the card)


Alright, she got a new handphone for her birthday...FREE one...coz yesterday was M1's dunno how many years birthday, and they were giving out 10,000 free 3G phones for new subscribers...so, to cheer her up and make her study well, my mum decided to get her one...haha...

a cheap but elegant phone...


alright, hope she will study hard...

After boi and I bought the card, we went back to his home...
It's their family tradition to have the family memberst to eat eggs during birthdays..
I ate one...hehe...
after boi's cousins came, we sang a birthday song to his grandma and took some photos..hehe...not in my camera though.. she is 84 this year...

then, we travelled to a restaurant near YCK mrt station for dinner...food quite ok lar, place is rather old, and price quite ok..haha..
nothing much after that...


boi is coming later..hehe...
better go bathe now..dun wanna make him wait too long...we are supposed to watch Mr. Bean today, coz boi wanted...hope it's nice...it's been so long since i watch a movie..though i have no craving for movies, hmmm.....nvm lar...

ok, end here..more online lectures coming up..sigh...
