I am finally a Graduate...Well at least I hope I will when I get my results!!!

May 3rd, 2006 (03:36 am)
cheerful

current mood: cheerful

I do not know this is the number what time that I have said that I have neglected my blog. But well, people, here I am again. Maybe I should have done this like last Sat when I finished my last paper but it didn't really struck till now. On Sat I took the last exam(hopefully) of my Uni life. It was definitely a relief. I mean after 3 years in NUS. I am finally going to grad. I have to say thanks to all the seniors and everyone that has made this possible. I would also like to thank all my friends and everyone that has made this journey in my life a fruitful one. Next week, I will begin the next chapter of my life. I will be going back to work.

Well...today went out to meet some of the seniors to celebrate xhitty's birthday. Was late myself cos I had to have dinner at home. By the time I got there, they had already finished 1 round of drinks at Balcony and had adjourned to cafe cartel for dinner. Met them up, chatted while some of them had dinner, Jiahui had to leave after dinner but the rest of us went to starbucks to continue have some drinks and catch up.

After kopi, most of the people had to leave but I was thinking since I have nothing to do and it was like so rare for me to sort of like dressed for the occasion(I was in jeans, shoes, and a long-sleeved shirt), so I suggested to Ivan to go clubbing, something that I have not done for don't know since when. Anyway called Mei and asked her whether she interested. She has never been to a club before and I tot that it will be fun to bring her along. Went to Devil's Bar eventually and had a great night. Mei is really a good drinker man. We got her a Flaming Lambo and a Waterfall, in between that she was having bourbon coke with me. It was fun, maybe sometimes we should get to do this more.

Anyway here I am in my room, thinking about what will happened next week when I start to work. Guess will be rather busy. Got to enjoy as much as I can in this short span of 1 week. Keke...

Life...

February 28th, 2006 (02:35 am)
current mood: Emotional

Well, once again, it's been like a long long time since I last blog. The urge to blog has just not been there and I must really apologize to people who actually still visits my blog. The midterm break was just over and I believe that my life will soon be turning real busy. With all the midterm test and everything coming my way. During the midterm break, went to Batam for a short trip. Pictures will be uploaded soon once I get them downloaded to my lappie.

Something just happened at home which sort of really emphasize the fact that about "Life Sux and Shit Happens!" Sort of got everyone in the house unhappy and I hoped that I have done a good job at cooling everyone down and making them feel better. It was just a simple matter of misunderstandings and miscommunication to me, which eventually escalated into a world war. I seriously think that everything that happened was unnecessary but I guess sometimes when things happens they just do. It's surprising what a few seconds of conversation could do.

I just hope that everything will be fine soon. Really don't wish to see everyone in the family being unhappy. In recent times, I have sort of grown to appreciate the family I have. It's definitely not a model family, but nonetheless, it's MY family. I am learning and trying my best to show everyone in the family that I care. I hope that they feel the same way too. Everyone makes mistakes in life, but I guess the importance is to admit that you have done wrong and try to change and correct the wrong as much as possible. Sometimes we also miss out and neglect the most important thing in our life as well, I think I have done that in the past and I will really try to right things now.

Just wanna say, Dad, Mum, I love you and to my brothers, Andrew, Raphael and Matthew, I do really love and care about all of you. If I have done all of you wrong at times, I am truly sorry.

Sch has started...

January 18th, 2006 (08:43 pm)
relieved

current mood: relieved

Well, school has already started since last week and this week is already the 2nd week of the semester. For the past 1 week plus, everything has been a blur, in order for me to graduate this semester, I had to take 7 mods and until today, I was still lacking of like 2 mods. Have been trying to get the modules that I wanted during the bidding period but I just did not have enough points sometimes. Then when the bidding period was over, was trying to appeal for the mods that I was thinking of taking. Finally after today, I have managed to get all my modules.

I am down with flu, as much as I wanted to go to sch today, I was unable to. Went to see the doc and she gave me some flu medicine that will make me drowsy. Took my medicine and rested most of the day away. Hope I will be feeling much better and will be able to start my semester proper tomorrow.

My cousin Pris and her bf got into an accident yesterday and her injuries were quite bad. Went to her place to visit her yesterday, just hope and pray that she will get well soon.

Tat's all for now. Cheerio people!!!

2005...a tribute and some memories...

January 1st, 2006 (07:32 am)
thoughtful

current mood: thoughtful

2005 is finally over and 2006 is here. I guess should start off something as the new year starts, so I guessed I might as well write something in this long neglected blog of mine. I think most of those people that actually read my blog must have given up on me liao...Haha!!!

This should be a reasonably long post since its been so long that I have last written. So people that are reading this, be forewarned.

I must say that year 2005 has been one that has one of ups and downs, I mean whose is not right. At the beginning of the year, I started off my 4th semester with a heavy responsibility which is to pull my CAP above 2 or else I would really be out of NUS. I did it and I must say that I did it quite well cos I actually managed to pull it up to 2.11, guess that would be my best achievement for the year. The semester that just pass was not as good, I failed another subject again, but somehow or another I managed to pull up my CAP still, so I guess I really can't complain much though failing 1 module this sem will mean that I have to take 7 modules the coming semester so that I can graduate. I guess I will really have to work real hard this semester, really don't wanna stay in NUS for another semester just becos I failed module again. That will be I guess the biggest new year resolution for me.

For the month of Dec, quite a bit of things have been happening in my life...
Once again, as in every holidays, I need to get back to SAF to work. This time I was posted to MINDEF, I guessed I was real lucky to a certain extent cos they only posted me to some other place besides PLAB only after I got my bike, which made travelling so much easier. The only thing that I am afraid of is the rain, which reminds me something. Another new year resolution that I have is to get myself a freaking raincoat so that I will still be able to ride in the rain.

I met up quite a bit of people and I finally got to meet someone that I was suppose to meet since last year. It was nice to meet up with her and finally get to see her in person. We hung out together for a few times and I must say that I really really enjoyed her company. I mean its not easy to find someone that you can be comfortable with, especially with the opposite sex. I guess most people will agree with this.

I met up with my best friend since JC whom due to work and study though we like stay within 20 minutes walk from each other seldom meet up. We exchanged what had been happening to us for the pass for months and spend some time talking with each other. Found out that a lot of things had been happening in his life since the last time we got together, though I know that he might never read this, I just want to let him know that if he evers needs me and it is something within my ability to do so, I will definitely be there for him.

My uncle Raymond who is also my god-father finally got married last week on the 24th Dec, my brothers and myself helped out in whatever ways we can with the wedding. He's the uncle that I feel closest to and I must say that I am really really happy for him. I wish that him and aunty Phebe will have love everlasting and may God bless their marriage. Becos of the wedding, got to know that my older cousin and her boyfriend are actually quite a nice people to hang out with. Just hung out with them last nite at a pub in Holland V. I guess in time to come, there will be definitely more of these outings:)

On a side note, wedding is a time where relatives will all get together, and during the wedding, I had a few aunties coming up to me and ask me where is my girlfriend, when I told them that I am still unattached, they will start asking me 'How come? There should be a lot of girls in NUS ah.' Actually this is something that has been on my mind for some time. I guess I have to agree with my aunties that there is a lot of girls in NUS and I must say that there are actually a lot of nice girls really, but I think I have come to understand that maybe I am really just not ready for a relationship. It dawned onto me some weeks ago while I was blading with a couple of friends at ECP that I am just not ready to trade my freedom with commitment to someone else. I mean there are times that I feel lonely and really wish there is that special someone there for me, but those are just passing phases and after those short period of longing for someone, I go back to myself again. So since I am so not ready, I guess I should really not be unfair to anyone and remain single. Well, I am not saying that if fate really comes knocking on my door, I will close it and keep it bolted, I guess I am just not that hard-up for it, well I really don't know.

After the wedding on Christmas eve, went over to Cheechiu's gathering at his office and spend some simple but nice time before I went to picked up Millie after her midnight mass. Was thinking of going back to join Cheechiu when my brother called and ask me whether we wanted to watch a movie together, so eventually met up with my brothers, my best friend and his girlfriend and watch Narnia, an entertaining show I must say.

Slept till quite late on Christmas day itself and was woken only by the call from Cheen asking me whether I had any plans for the day. Still feeling a bit groggy, I told him that I will call him if I have any plans. He called me again not long after telling me that Ivan's place is actually available cos initially what I got from Ivan is that he will not be free, so I got up for good and started planning for something. Eventually decided to plan a last minute BBQ at his place, drove JiaJia's car back to return to her cos I borrowed it the day before and then went back home and rode over to Ivan's. The celebration was simple and comfortable with a bunch of friends. I guessed I have really grown out of celebrations where you go out to party hard and squeeze around with a bunch of people that you don't even know. Nowadays, I think I really prefer celebrations to be plain 'SIMPLE' with friends. Bunked over at Ivan's before going back home the next day around noon time.

Went down with a really bad throat infection on Thursday which left me unable to speak for the whole day. The infection was so bad that it affected my gums which made opening mouth and eating a real chore to do. Till now, the gums are still hurting a bit and up till yesterday night, I was still speaking in a wierd way. This brings me to NYE, it was spend at Yen's place. Another gathering of friends. Once again we had BBQ, and Yen and his girlfriend really did a great job with the spread of food that was available. Had a real hearty meal. Thanks brother, played some mahjong and then came back home. Another simple and enjoyable day. Guess I will be like sleeping most of the day away later, don't know if there will be any plans tonight since tomorrow is still a holiday.

This coming week will be the last week that I will need to go back and work, I still have 1.5 day of leave to clear, with Mon being a holiday, it effectively means that I only have 2.5 days of work left. I still owe my boss a report, guess I have to churn something out by hook or by crook before I leave, after this week, next week will mark the beginning of my last semester(hopefully), there's still quite a bit of module bidding left to be done, just hope that I will be able to get all the modules that I want to take. Hopefully this will be a good year for me, I pray that it will be so for all te people I know, for those people that have graduated and is looking for job, may they find a job that they want, for those people that are working, may they earn big bucks, for students, may we get the results that we want and for everyone, may peace, happiness, love and all things good on earth be with you thru-out the year. Cheerio!!!

Better late than Never...

November 22nd, 2005 (12:19 pm)
happy

current mood: happy

This is a bit late but as they always say...its better late than never. Well this semester is finally coming to a close. I have 1 more exams to go before everything is over.

I must say that this has been a really really busy sem for me. With 4 out of 5 modules being project-based and the last module being a maths module. Things were really hectic, but I guess everything was worth it. 2301 was a wonderful module, though it was really taxing with all the projects and stuff, I really had a lot of fun taking it. The reason why I look so smart in the picture was also for the oral presentation for 2301. Think my group got the highest in class:) Kudos to my group mates, I really enjoyed working with them.

3214 was the killer this sem. Weekends were burned and near the submission date, our group had to stay back in school to rush out our project as well. But I must say that, to the surprise of everyone, including our supervisor, our presentation turn out very well. I must really thanks my group mates for everything. I guess we really went through a lot together in those few crucial weeks. After exams must definitely find another day to go out and enjoy ourselves thoroughly together.

MNO1001 was the other fun module. It required us to do a film as a project. It was my first time in a film production and I was the main lead:P Mayi helped out in this a lot and I guessed I can never thank him enough. Looking forward to meeting up with my group mates for the outing that we promised each other.

3253 was the surprise this sem. At first thought that it will be a relatively module to take but then it turned out to be another siong module. Haiz, but then everything is over now and I guess there's nothing that I should complain about it anymore.

Last but not least, ST2334, I am so gonna die for this module. Really hope that I will be able to scrap through it with a D. Just a D, Lord, I am not asking for much. Haha:P

Well, I remembered that I actually still have something to write about but I can't recall what I wanted to say. So I guess that's all for now. Cheerio people, tomorrow will definitely be a better day:)

Relationships...

October 26th, 2005 (03:07 am)
annoyed

current mood: annoyed

I remember my mum telling me something years ago about relationships. It's in chinese and it goes something like this..."na de qi jiu yao fang de xia". I have to agree that after going through a few relationship myself...it is something hard to do. But then I have also learned that sometimes that's the only thing that a person can do and should do when the relationship can't go on anymore.

But no...hell no...people just sometimes choose to cling on and try to hold on...only to feel more pain in the end. I guess as I always say..."ren shi fan jian de". I guess that's the problem with people...whoever came up with the phrase "Love is BLIND!!!" must have been a genius, either that he must have been one hell of a romantic. But I really hope that people out there can learn to sometimes think a bit more rationally in a relationship...I mean when you know that things are just not meant to be, you should just end it and then try to pick yourself up and then move on in life. I know that its never easy, I have gone through it, but then it will be the only correct thing to do. So PLEASE do the right thing...

Just blabbering here...Haiz...
Sometime LIFE really SUX and SHIT does HAPPEN!!!

Busy...

October 4th, 2005 (12:28 pm)
discontent

current mood: discontent

Haiz...this must be by far the busiest sem that I have had since I started Uni. Everyday is about projects, projects and more projects. Somehow I don't think I am slacking a lot this sem but then I also do not have the feel of accomplishment that I felt last sem as well. I don't feel that I have done a lot and keep getting this feeling that I have done too little. I seriously do not know wat is going on. There's like nothing to look forward to nowadays. Everyday is just about waking up and then going to sch for projects. Feel like taking a breather, maybe to just slack for 1 day and not do anything at all, but then I have to answer to all my project group mates. Can't wait for this sem to be over, but before that, there's still project datelines, presentation and exams. God help me!!!

Courtesy...or the lack of it!!!

September 23rd, 2005 (12:10 pm)
pissed off

current mood: pissed off

Just came back from a friend's pub and met up with a few of my colleagues there. Today was the opening day and I invited KF to go with me since he had nothing to do. Overall, it was a nice evening but everything had to be spoiled at the end of the night by 1 waitress.

Was drinking and then got to know the waitress that was working there. Was talking to them and unknowingly found out that 1 of them stays in Yishun. Trying to be nice, I just told her that I would fetch her back home after she finish work since I also stay in Yishun. Well, she agreed.

Was waiting for her to finish work until I suddenly realised that she is no where to be seen. Upon asking my friend, he told me that she had left with another waitress. I mean if you don't need me to give a lift back, you should at least have the courtesy to tell me rite. Haiz...just a few simple words also can't say. Pissed!!!
