Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of
intoxication with success

Holiday comes and goes fast, especially in polytechnics. One week went, another week to go before another term starts.

Next term would be a short term, of around 4 weeks, followed by our study and examination weeks and it will be holiday again. I am wondering if I ever looked back to my polytechnic life after I graduate, would the 3 years seem to pass too quickly?

For the past week, I had stayed home for most of the days, playing my bros’ psp and dslite, surfing the net or shopped for a while in the Hougang mall nearby.

Then, for Thursday, the whole Ouran High had a whole day slacking at rac’s house, which I had a fun time watching funny videos, eating and slacking.

On Friday, I had accompanied my mum to my big bro enlistment exercise. It was tedious to make our way there. We had to take 89 to the Pasir ris interchange, aboard the shuttle bus to the ferry and take the boat before reaching Palau Tekong. After which, we had a tour around Palau Tekong, a briefing about the necessities given and what my bro would be doing for the next few months. Lastly, we had a lunch with my bro before we left the camp.

After Japanese lesson on Saturday, I went to Clarke Quay with rac and liling. We had a fulfilling apple curry pork meal before we moved on to the Liang court to shop in the Jap supermart. I left them around 3 to make my way to downtown east to meet up with my family. Coincidentally, I saw a friend who happened to aboard the Mrt on the same carriage with me. We chatted a bit before I turned to take the train on the right and she turned for the left. I met up with my parents and we shopped a bit in the new mall at downtown east. Now, instead of just going to the beach or Wild Wild Wet and theme park, one can choose for bowling, kbox and even a 24-hr movie threatre in the new mall. In addition, one can also choose from wide variety of eating place available. This makes staying in the chalet of more joy now.

I shall upload the photos next time.

Term ends

2008-06-06T15:03:00.000-07:00

I am very tired right now. But I should still blog a little before I taking my afternoon nap since I had left the blog to rot for quite some times. I could just feel myself about to faint down any minute. But be rests assure that I am not sick; it was a lack of sleep.

I just went through the last common test paper this morning at 830. However, I had rushed through a last minute revision last night and ended up sleeping around 3am when I have to wake up at 6am to get ready for school. This is the consequence for slacking for the previous few days.

Anyway, I’m glad that my long waits holiday is finally here. I had just so many things that I want to do but somehow I know I won’t be able to finish all, for it always happen that way. I am so random, maybe it’s because my brain isn’t working the normal way it does.

My brother said he is going to run this evening and I think I should just tag along since I had intended to do so. Anyway, his main intention is to force my mother to exercise as her cholesterol hit high again.

What does my name means?

Should not comment about how the exam was.

I have tons and tons of plans for this coming holiday. Things that I want to do and achieve that I’m not even sure which one to start with. Perhaps first of it all, I need to get a job.

My eyelids are heavy; I should go for a short nap le.

2008-01-05T15:13:00.000-08:00

I hate people waking me up in the midst of my sleep to force me to do things I don’t want to do. This irritates me a lot and is one of the easiest ways that I lost control.
Never try it.

Merry Christmas To All!

Yesterday, I went for Aikido full of doubt. Normally, there shouldn’t be any training as it was Christmas Eve. But I had reassured with Feng again and again and he confirmed that training as usual. In addition, there is a need for me to take some forms from the sensei personally. Therefore, I had to go.

And so, I reached at around 640 and there wasn’t a single soul that I seem to recognise. As the minutes passed by, the suspicion grew stronger and stronger. While I was waiting, members of Aikido started to arrive. Around 7, Feng finally arrived and after confirmation with one of the staff, he informed me that he had been misinformed previously. There wasn’t any training today. As a result, I had wasted a trip.

Later back home, Bro was back from army. As expected, he was larger in size than he was previously and his skin tone was darker. Obviously he had been trained real hard at the camp site. He seems to be more sensible now and I hoped that he could really sort up his thoughts and starts planning for his own future. Haiz...Guys just take longer time to mature...

6 days left to the start of another new term. I still have tons of tutorials to finish, around 4 projects etc etc. Got to brush up and starts working soon or otherwise all the work will start piling up when term starts.

Got a bit irritated for I have been trying for the numerous times to open up a MYOB file to do my assignment and it just can’t open up. I just don’t understand where and what had gone wrong. Now, I will have to be stuck with it until my tutor figure out a solution.

Anyway, life has been pretty hectic for me even when I’m in holidays. Just one holiday of two weeks break, I have a total of 6 projects on hand. This has been the reason why I had to go school for so many days within a week. And by the look of it, next week doesn’t seem to be getting any better.

Yet, this is not the worst part. The worst part is when your group members don’t seem to care a heck of it. Yesterday morning, we had arranged an interview with HR coordinator from the Salvation Army for our IAC project. We had resorted to meeting an hour earlier for the interview to avert two of my group members from being late. Time passes and in the end, only 2 out of 5 members in the group turned up, including me. As a result, my friend and I waited for an hour for NOTHING. I just can’t believe how irresponsible they can be. It was the only one interview we had and it was essential for the whole project. At that moment, I was irate and had the impulse to call to tell off them. However, I managed to calm myself down before we entered the center.

As a consequence of their absences, we had to lie to cover up for them. Luckily, the interviewee was a nice guy and the interview was able to carry out even though many problems occurred in between. I really appreciate all the help he had given us.

The e4's BBQ came straight after the interview. Initially, I thought it was only e4 who’s coming. However, it turned out to be an e4 & 5’s gathering. But that doesn’t make much difference to me as it’s was good to see all my old classmates. They hadn’t changed much.

Being back at the school brings back all the memorable memories of mine. The field where we had our golf lessons, the hall where we had all our boring assemblies, the parade square where we had all the morning assemblies, the canteen with food that I missed, the class, library, music room, CO room, even the toilets does bring back memories. Those 4 years were a carefree and happiest part of my life.

Had badminton and a game of captain's ball with the girls bare footed at the parade square. I loved playing captain ball with my classmates. It was so long since I last exercised and the feeling is great.

It rains in the midst of the BBQ and we shifted to the hanging garden to continue BBQ-ing. I joined Yong Ying and helped with the BBQ for a while. It was hard to BBQ in the dark as we could not see whether the foods were ready. Then again, it was really nice of Lao niang and Wilson to fan for us as the heat emitted from the pits was really intense. After a while, I went for a drink and joined the group that were listening attentively to Mr Yap ghost stories. I could almost visual it as the stories goes on. At the end of it all, I was really lucky to get a ride from Mr Yap to Hougang plaza.

Sharity Gift Box (17/11/07)

2007-11-17T22:42:00.000-08:00

It’s been ages since I last blogged again. Either blames it to my laziness or the sudden problem occurring on the wireless network at home. Anyway, the default was finally repaired and I can surf the net freely again.

Today, I woke up 7 in the morning to get ready for a trip down to school. The reason behind the trip despite it’s a Saturday was because of a charity activity, “Sharity Gift Box”. I had joined due to the persistent encouragement from Elena. Anyway, I had arrived at 845 and reported directly to the people-in-charge. After it, I went straight into the theatre and was surprised to see only two volunteers excluding me. So, as what I had predicted, many people was late. When the theatre was almost full, they started off with a short briefing about the whole event and what we were supposed to do. All in all, they were around 150 volunteers including primary school students which made out 1/4 of the whole population. Then, we got separated into groups and each group was assigned a group leader & an assistant leader. They were supposed to take care of us during the whole event. However, unknown to me before the event, my group leader was Elena. It was both a good and bad news to me. Although Elena and I had been friends since primary school, I had never been under her lead. In addition, the blur-ness she always shown frights me off.

Again, unknown to me before the event, we were supposed to take public transport on our own to the estate that we were going to publicize. Luckily for me, there was enough money inside my Ezlink card. We took 184 into Bukit Panjang interchange whereby we alighted. After which we got separated into smaller groups of 4 to make the whole procedure easier. I got grouped into the same group with Elena and a china friend whose name I forgot a moment just after she said it. The numbers of blocks were being allocated into half and two groups to each.

At the first unit door, the three of us were still quite unused to talking to strangers and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. However, we got used to it after a few levels and started to speed up. The first block was around 90 units and we were fast at it as many people were out.

Then, we hit down for the second block and this time things did not carried out as smoothly. The reason as to some doors we knocked and knowing perfectly that there was someone in the house due to the noise, shadows and peak hole, they simply refused to open up. So, we only resort to slotting the leaflets on the door step. In addition, we faced some really rude residues that shut the door right at our face. We were slower at this block as there were around 150 units to it.

At the third block which is also the last block, there were even more units, around 160. And it was at this particular block which I saw a very hilarious unit’s appearance. The main door of the unit was closed and at the left side of the door, just above the door bell, there was a A4-size notice. The heading of the notice was in bold red and it reads “Please Read”. For the body part, it reads “Students, promoters, advertisers…we are not interested in the product you sell or the survey, so please do not disturb us” and they put in the text that they had installed a CCTV which was a really small size camera pointing straight towards us beside the bell. Ridiculous. So, after making a funny joke with Elena that we should try the unit since they did not put donation into the text, we decided a cleverer choice is to put the leaflets at the door step and leave that unit undisturbed. We finished the whole thing by 130 in the afternoon, followed by a short briefing and got to leave at 140 which was surprising to me because they had stated in the forms that the event ends at 5.

In conclusion, it was fun moving around, exploring all levels and seeing different stuffs at each. It was even more meaning when I know that what I’m doing will eventually help people in need. Anyway, I looked forward for the next week.

What age do u act?

2007-11-17T20:47:00.000-08:00

I tried the test and this was the result. Anyway,its quite close to my real age.

You Are 18 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

LMS & IAC(3rd n 2nd lesson)

2007-10-31T23:34:00.000-07:00

Sometimes, I’m just thinking too much and hard that my brain seems to be retaliating. Maybe that’s why I’m starting to have shorter term memory.

Anw, LMS was enriching today. The topic for the day was anger management and I learned a few key points. It may be useful when I have to duel when anger next time. Hopefully.

And for IAC, my group has finally decided on the topic that we are going to look into. Out of the many topics we had discussed so far (around 15+), CHARITY emerged as the winner. So, our group hypnosis will be “Volunteerism is not on teenagers’ priorities nowadays”. So beware, u may be receiving online surveys from me about the topic as this is a compulsory part for the project. Please be frank about it and support me then. Thks!

In addition, I’m joining a Sharity Gift Box (SGB), an external publicity and collection of food items for less fortunate people during the festive season of Christmas. Hence, I think I may be able to get a few people to interview during the event. Helping others and doing my project at the same time. Fantastic. A stone throws at two birds.

The first BLAW lecture

2007-10-19T00:31:00.000-07:00

I forced myself to wake up around 1130 in the morning to prepare for the lecture in the afternoon. Around 130, I reached the school compound and went to the atrium to slack for around half an hour before the lecture starting at 2.

And just like what rac had warned me of, the Mrs Gopalan lecturing the BLAW was really a slowcoach. She could go on talking without stopping for 10mins+ for a slide, telling us lots of stories here and there. So when my concentration was already gone about 15mins into the lecture (she was still on the 2nd slide about the introduction), my friends suggested me to practice writing with my left hand. Since the idea of something else instead of the lecture interest me, I took the idea and started with it. So, as u can expect, I didn’t hear much of the lecture. Around an hour into the lecture, she was still on the 7th slide (I think so); I started doing the tutorial that was only required to finish by next Thursday. The tutorial was really easy, probably due to the fact that it was the first tutorial questions. I took less than half an hour to finish it and when I looked up, she was only on the 11th slide. The lecture dragged on and I try my best to concentrate, though it was in vain. Thus, I only listened a bit here and there and I don’t see much use to it. Finally when it was 4, the time the lecture should end, she skipped through the last two slides, believing that we will go and read it ourselves. Finally!

During IAC

2007-10-17T00:03:00.000-07:00

I’m being asked a question during IAC today. It was a commonly heard question that I had never bothered to think.

The question is

If I had a shipwreck and woke up in a deserted island alone, what is the one thing that I would wish for?

As instructed by the teacher, we are not supposed to think of ways to get out of the island.

So my answer was

Since I can’t think of ways to get out of the island, then I want a bed with a pillow, so I could sleep in a more comfort way. =]

P.S. How would u answer such a question if it was u?

Another Day

2007-10-14T21:56:00.000-07:00

I met up with rac and jac around the noon in compass point. My main purpose was to pass rac all her textbook before school starts and buy a new earpiece. So, just as we planned, we went to have fish soup as our lunch. It’s been a real long time since I had last ate it. Anyway, the taste did not disappoint me. In the midst of eating, jac brought up a topic that has been dragging since around June. It was about creating an anniversary for Ouran. After some memories recalling and discussion, we all agreed on having it on the first of May. This is probably because of the following two reasons; firstly, it was around the time when we first formed Ouran. Secondly, on that day, it was Labour Day and all of us are likely to come out and celebrate.

After filling our stomachs, we went shopping around for mainly my earpiece and rac’s handphone pouch. We walked a few places, which I finally made my purchase at the new BEST, along with free popcorn due to their new opening. Rac brought her handphone pouch at a handphone shop at the basement. When all purchases were done, rac and I proceeded to the comic shop and jac went home.

Both of us did not stay long around the hougang area and went home around 2:30pm.

P.S Anyone have another objection to the anniversary of Ouran?

An experience of teaching

2007-10-05T00:23:00.000-07:00

I had myself prepared with the situation I’m likely to face with those primary one kids that I was supposed to coach today. Just how I came about to this will have to relate back to a friend of mine. Last Saturday, a friend of mine, told me that she got a lobang and asked whether I will be interested with it. This lobang turned out to be a coach assistant for students in primary one. The class will be conducted on Microsoft word. As the job seems easy and the pay was attractive with short working hours, I agreed to it without double thoughts.

With troubles in between (that I shall not talk of), I finally got to the com lab. However, that was only the beginning of all.

Chaos for the class held today.

There were kids running around, treating the lab as their own playground, snatching stuffs from one another, and shouting across the room like in a wet market. Adding up to the problems, when two students raised their hands together, I will have to consider which to attend to first. This is because the one that I neglect will be the opportunity cost I have to pay due to the fact that students in primary one do not have much patience, making them wait will only increase their mobility. In the end, it means moving or running around.

Anyway, though everything was in chaos, I had a fun time and gained a lot of new experiences. In addition, I understand fully why I never ever consider being a teacher in my list of further careers.

Yes, SKSS day tomorrow.

Leaving my blog to rot AGAIN!

Not that I don’t want to blog, it’s just that working life is so bored that I don’t feel like talking about it, let alone blogging. As a pharmacy packer, my job is just shifting medicine from cartons to cartons and back to cartons and cartons. Life couldn’t be any borer.

Anyway, the main topic for today is not about my boring yet easy job.

I’m starting to count down to release of my first semester polytechnic results. It’s just another 9 hours or so and I can feel the fear building up. My heart pouting hard, palms sweating and my nerves tightened at the thought of it. If I happen to fail one particular subject, it spells trouble. Let me explain why. According to what I have heard, if u happens to fail one subject, it will mean retaking of the whole subject again in the second semester, which is add-on to the original subject we are going to take. In addition, being a cross-level students (students who fail one subject and above), u are also going to choose your timetable a day later than the normal students. Thus, it’s unlikely for u to be in the class u want.

Let me think. At 9am tomorrow, I likely to be in the train, rushing to my workplace (I will always reach there on time). This will also be the point of the time which I will be receiving my results by sms and its going decide my mood for the rest of the day or even the rest of the year. And that’s bad; I just hope that I don’t burst out in front of the crowd.

Pray hard for good results.

1st Sep, 2007

2007-09-01T13:34:00.000-07:00

Kind of realize I’m leaving my blog to rot again. Hence, I better update something recent today.

Had been busy these few days. Looking for a temporary job to spend my holiday and earn some bucks in the same time. And good news, I got a job. It is a pharmacy assistant in Singapore general hospital. Surprise isn’t?

The job is actually not tough, just have to walk and squat a lot. In addition, I have to take medicines continuous, until it’s becoming a routine to me. Thus, I think by the end of the month, which is when I will be working until and in the rate I’m exercising during working hours, I’m likely to lose a probability of 3-5kg. Good news or bad news, decide on your own.

Details about my job:
Mon till Fri
930-6pm
Working till the end of Sep

For people who want to meet me out, please try to match my schedule. Sry about that!

AZ comics branch-jurong

2007-08-10T22:14:00.000-07:00

I went to the new AZ comics shop branch in jurong and the whole journey there is tedious, changing to and fro of buses and mrt.
I brought:
6 books of xing fu ying cha
8 books of V.B.R
1 book of yao gun tian tang
1 book of love-berrish
1 cute handphone accessory

And burned a hole in my wallet =(

As all of u can expect, it’s a lot of $$$ and left me with around ten dollars plus in my purse, so please do not call me out in the next few days for shopping. However, comparing the actual price and the price after discount, it’s quite worth the pricing.

Pls the durian ice cream is sooo yummy!!! XP

For the past few days, I have been busy with my revision for the upcoming final exams. In addition, the revision for infa with rac yesterday left me with a heavy headache that I fell straight into sleep during the broadcasting of the National Day Celebration. Thus, I will have to keep a lookout for the replay.

Aug 5, 2007

2007-08-05T22:30:00.000-07:00

It’s been ages since my last update my blog, so there its goes:
Yesterday, my family dines out for a celebration of my upcoming birthday and under the recommendation of my second bro, we went to a restaurant near kovan mrt named ‘bai jia hai sian .
And as the name suggests, its main dishes consisted mostly of seafood. The food was pretty nice and I will rate it around 4/5. So rush down now and try it ba, hahaha!

Anyway, today I met yong ying at around 130 to pass her something. To my surprise, she actually came prepared with my present, so sweet of her. It was something that can move and speak whenever u clap. I like it, thanks a lot! Then, we went to NTUC to get all the things on the shopping list which was given by my mother after she knows that I heading to hougang mall.

BSTA tutorial wk 15

2007-07-23T17:15:00.000-07:00

I’m so fed up with the BSTA tutor today; this is what happens during BSTA:

I’m in BSTA lesson, staring at the time tickle away seconds by minutes, yearning for the lesson to end earlier. Its real boring now and I just can’t stand it!!! The lecturer is always talking some alien language that I don’t understand. Ehhh!!! I abhor attending this class every Monday morning, got to endure about 2 hrs weekly. Why is there an e-lecture this week but no e-tutorial??? =(

Ehhh!!! She is going through some really simple questions step by step. Come on, it’s just a question on answering independent /dependent and I REALLY SEE NO NEED TO EXPLAIN STEP BY STEP! Furthermore, she not giving out answers to the tutorial as she feels it’s kind of SPOON-FEEDING us??? Does she really understand the definition of spoon feeding??? Can’t stand! X(

Amore Arabian Appreciation Night

2007-07-21T23:20:00.000-07:00

I attended the Amore Arabian Appreciation Night at Amore Fitness & Boutique Spa that was arranged by the Aerobics Club. We met up with the Aerobics club at Dhoby Ghaut station and were being brought to the Amore Fitness & Boutique Spa located in Parkmall. It was really beautifully furnished with a huge studio and a fully equipped gym. Steam bath or in other words sauna is also available there.

Before the start of the program, they arranged to provide services like air free tattoo and some handicraft drawings(something like that) for early birds. At around 7+, we were being invited into the studio whereby we had an hour of belly dancing lesson. I made a fool of myself by messing around with steps and struggled to keep up. The dinner I was longing was finally up next and the food did not disappoint me. At 830+, we collected our goodie bags and home sweet home.

YES! YES! YES! YES!
Believe it or not, I actually PASSED my BSTA test 2! Although it was just a few marks over pass, it was still such a good new. According to the results, I was the second from behind, and I must be crazy to get so elated. But due to the anticipation of having failed, pass is really far out of my expectation.
Gotta brush up more on my BSTA, I don’t want to retake the module again.

During BCOMM today, our classmates gave some presentations that were supposed to be graded. The topic was to choose a destination and introduced it. It was so interesting listening to those destinations’ attractions and I love to go all.
Got to go prepare for my own presentation for Friday!

ViVo city

2007-07-14T19:09:00.000-07:00

YES!!! I’m back from my outing with ber and got to watch Harry Potter and the order of phoenix that I had been longing for. Although my initial plan was to have Ouran outing…but never mind, next time perhaps.

Anyway, the movie was quite nice with the interesting outline originally. Due to the huge response, movie showcasting in the afternoon were left with only seats in the first two rows. Thus, ber and I had to meet up at 8:30 just to get the tickets for the 9:30 show. Both of us reached vivo city around 9 and brought ourselves some bread for breakfast. After buying the tickets, we went to 7-eleven where I got myself some crackers and ber brought a beef stick and a packet of sweets.

After we got all stuffs we wanted, we went in for the 2hrs+ show. We were lucky to get the seats around the middle part of the last forth row. I was surprised to see the guy beside me eating a banana!!! The movie ended around 12+ which we got out of the theater and started shopping.

We went in and out of shops, looking at multiple of choices and trying out clothes that we have a liking for, spoiled for choices. At 1+, we went for lunch at kopitiam whereby I got myself a set of jap meal and ber just ate some dian xin. After lunch, we continued with our shopping. In the end, Ber got herself reap of returns with 3 upper tops whereas I got myself a shirt with stripes. It was really a good bargain as I got the shirt for just $13+ after 30% discount. At a point of time, both of us took a liking of a black shirt with straps. Coincidentally, it was the last piece left and ber brought it as she was the one who saw it first.

At 3:10, we left vivo city as ber is having a tution in Bugis at 4pm.

Cando Campaign Day 2

2007-07-12T23:58:00.000-07:00

Today was Cando Campaign day 2, Argh!!!
It took me a great deal to persuade myself to be present for Day 2. As I had mentioned earlier, day 1 was already so unbearable, how am I going to get through day 2???

However, it was compulsory for me to be there because:
To pass CATS=attend Cando campaign day 1+2
Fail to attend any one of those days=fail half of the whole assignment=50% possibility to fail CATS= RETAKE CATS!!!
Ahhhh!!! I will NVR EVER let that happens.

Anyway, back to the topic, I reported at blk 72 level 2 at around 7:50 and waited and waited. The actual reporting was 8am but they waited for latecomers and the whole thing only really begins at 9am.

At 9:30 to 10, we got to modify our ideas again. Around 10, we got to move around the campus to pitch our ideas AGAIN to any students in sight. If the student is satisfied with our ideas, they will have to comments on it and take a photo with us. We went back to blk 72 at 11am to turn in our results. Then, we had our lunch and the best 10 groups had to present their products to some VIPs. Luckily for me, my group did not get into the finals and we got a free period between 12 to1:30.

During this free period, I went to the board games counter at the library and to my surprise; it was really fully equipped with some bored games that I had never heard of. However, as there were only my friend and I, we were left with no choice but to play Reversi.

Reluctantly, I met up with my mentor and other group members at 1:30 whereby we had to move to the convection hall 2 to attend some talks. The first one was given by an ex-mass com student of our sch and she was really a good speaker which I enjoyed listening to. However, a good thing never lasts; the first speaker was soon replaced by the second speaker which could have bore me to death. But it was still so rude of some guys at the back row to shout in between of the talks, deliberately intruding the speaker. Then, it was followed by a prize-presentation. Around 4:40, we finally put an end to the Cando campaign. YES!!!

I'm 100% sure that I'm going to fail BSTA test 2...how are u going to pass when u used any formulas in mind and sub by any value u could find in the questions? Now it doesn't matters whether I pass anot, what matters to me is how badly I going to fail!!! Let move on and get ready for the retest!!! =(

Anyway, today we had elearning for BCOMM where we were supposed to go to the chat room and discuss abt casino in US. The discussion went so fast that it was almost impossible to catch all the words, I had to strain my eyes to catch up with the discussion. Luckily, the discussion only carried out for an hour and I got the other hour free. XP

Cando campaign-Day one

2007-07-07T23:31:00.000-07:00

Today, the Cando campaign was so boring...

I reported at 8am at the convention center, waited for 30mins or so just to get to the registration counter to have my attendance marked. The whole registration took 1h+ to complete…so inefficient

Then, we got to the second convection hall when they started to teach us cheers and made us play some ice breaking games which I hate most. The first ice breaking game was bursting of balloons tied around our legs. In order to end the game short, my friend and I agreed on bursting each other’s balloon at the start of the game, so we just laze around the corners watching others running about like crazy, screaming at the top of their voices.

Around 10+, we had to move again to the first convection hall where we had some snacks and do some real business. We were supposed to contribute ideas according to 5 categories; transportation, housing, entertainment, food and fashion. Each group was assigned to one category and we had to rotate our topic for two rotations, contributing our ideas to other groups too. At the end of the third rotation, we got back to our own respective topic and were required to choose a final product for our group. Our group chose a jacket which can charge handphone. Then, we had to merge with another group to finalize the product. The other team chose a belt which can project virtual designs. After much discussion, we decide to merge the two products to a belt that can project virtual designs and charge all electronic items.
Also, we got a chance to market our products and earn fake money on marketing. This amount will be calculated at the end and the group with most money got the longest time to pitch their ideas to the judges again.

Frankly speaking, all the while, I was on a lookout for all the exit doors available and mentally calculating my chances of escaping without being seen. However, the planners seem to have thought about this scheme and had placed at least one usher at every exit at all times. So, my plan failed completely.

I was surprised by our results. Our group got in second within the fashion topic. For this, I’m guilty to say that the guys were doing most of the works, pitching and finalizing the product, whereas the girls lazed around a lot. =x

2007-07-06T22:40:00.000-07:00

I had BCOMM around 2+ and we are supposed to do some exercises assigned by the tutor. I was sitted at the back of the class and by taking one glance around, all I could see is neopets, maple, youtube…worst of all, e guy beside me was sleeping, as in putting the whole head onto the table.
Get what I mean??? Ya! This is the usual sign I get to see during every BCOMM. This is practically because our tutor is not strict…

Today, I got to board a SBS party bus home. It was really unique; all the seats were cushion type, arranged in a way that it faces each other, matching with colors of maroon and white, looking like a cozy corner. The special part is the presence of a bar counter, along with two high seats, situated in the middle of the bus. In addition, there were six round seats next to the exit, replacing the usual rectangle seats. Overall, the insides of the bus just looked like a high-class bar, lacking the usual lighting to make it prefect.

Anyway, I have decided to quit NPS for good, which left me with just aerobics and primers. Maybe I’m going to join taekwondo or arching or even the driving club next... but it’s just a thought =X

First post

I didn’t went to sch today, been to see a doc. Waited for an hour or so to get to my turn. There were some rashes surfacing on my hands, legs and thighs, which I thought was something really serious. However, it turned out to be a sign of the stomach disease getting off from my body and is real good news. This means that I’m finally on the road to recovery. =P
Anyway, I did not get to rest or slack at home, I had to do ‘My Portfolios’ on the blackboard which will be due by tmr…Oops, I didn’t even touch it…and my INFA tutorials. Can’t even rest when u are sick. Xp
