I'm so bored today and there's nothing productive tasks to do, so I decided to write for fun...
This week is the first week of my semester 6, the final semester until graduation! Hopefully, can do well in the exams and lab components. I'm longing for the holidays after this semester as there is no holiday for me during the past year, which I had been busy with my attachment and FINAL YEAR PROJECT!

Final year project is so stressing, we have to find information and solutions ourselves and we have to make it work. For every holiday I had, I had been going back to school most of the days to work on it. Hopefully, we can produce the expected final product before the deadline.

Focus and determination all the way!!!

It has been a long time since I updated my blog. Here’s a glimpse of what happened this week.
On Thur, during the S&I practical, our group are doing the differential pressure transmitter experiment. When the teacher demonstrate on how to use the equipments, she asked:"Is there a leakage?" The technician said it's is okay and continue with the demonstration. After that, we were left alone to complete the experiment ourselves. As we were observing the second reading, and i was fiddling with the pressure regulator, the connecting tube exploded and the air is leaking. And the whole class stared at us. Oh, it was so embarrassing! But it was not our fault, i think the equipment is spoiled when we use it. It was scary as the regulator was in my hands but luckily the gas is not poisonous otherwise, it would be disastrous. Pray that nothing like this will happen in future!

On Fri, accompanied yung sin to IMM, Garden Plaza to see Nicholas Zhang. He was here to promote his new album(沉默的瞬間). He is very good-looking when he made the entrance appearance. Wahkaka..

On Sat night, went to see Stefanie Sun's concert at Singapore Indoor Stadium《答案是 The Answer Is? 孙燕姿 2009 世界巡回演唱会.) Bus-ed 16 to get there, the bus was so packed that we have to take the next bus and we have to squeeze. It's been a long time since i took a bus and squeezing with other people.Haha.. Thanks to yung sin and her aunt, we have the privilege to seat at the premium seatings..WOW.. it was very near the stage..It's so cool..The stage is wonderful, the engineering part, the moving stage...though without the lights, it looks plain..Stefani is pretty with her trademark smile..wakaka..and she's not as thin as i expected. She sang about 10-15 songs, and the crowd are high..and there are fan clubs from different countries..Her perfomance is flawless, wonderful..., i cant really describe it in words..It's my 1st time been to a concert...Haha..thank you yung sin so much!!!

Today, went to Jurong Point with vivi, hh and ys to watch 20th century boys part 2. The movie is nice.. waiting to know who's the friend in the final part..exciting..Here a clip of the movie..

hello people, it's been 8 weeks since i updated this blog..haha.. sch life have been too hectic and hustling for me. We have to complete tutorials after tutorials(it's never ending of course), reports after reports, quizzes after quizzes, and lab tests too.
MCT lab test was OK, it could have been better, i couldn't find the program that change the number on the 7-segment. Oh, it's was a give away 10 marks, and i cant find it. They said is at the top of the program...but nvm, can try better next time.
OOP lab test was heartbreaking for me. I just passed. Why do i have to be sick on that day and have to retake it? The teacher said the retest paper was harder than the 1st day paper. I couldnt understand the section A and cant fully write the program out and section B i cant find all the bugs. I believe i was going to fail very very badly. I cried that whole day. No more A, let alone B. I have to get good grades for the rest of the tests for me to pull up the grades. It was not really fair:(
wanna see the EMD lab?

scary right? we have to adjust the voltage to 240V leh..scary hor? Haha..

(photos taken from yung sin)

Our S&I project, The Viking boat
we have to write the PLC to make the boat move, operate in the way we have in mind..

the Lego set nice right?

I love Maths very much..
I love the Maths teacher very much..

(photo taken from ys)

She's so young, humorous, fun, bonds very well with the students, and her lessons are never boring...
She also teaches me Dip-plus..
Dip-plus is so difficult, I'm waiting for the sch to kick me out..Haha..not sure whether i will pass the exam and let me continue..

1 and 1/2 weeks of holiday gone, and i still haven't started studying yet..
been addicted to Farm Town for the past week..Haha

Ytd went to Vivo City to celebrate gabrielle's birthday. We ate our lunch at Pizza Hut and tea break at Secret Recipe. And kai lin met us at a later time. We spend the whole day taking photographs..Haha..really had fun that day.. enjoy the photos...

lunch@pizza hut..the manager was funny, asked us whether we are planning to open another pizza hut upon seeing us taking photos.

Back to sch today, step into the class this morning, butterflies in my stomach due to seeing the microchip thingy...i dont understand what the module is all about and just follow what the teacher do...although some i did not really catch it as he went through kind of fast or am i just a computer idiot?...
well today is not too bad, but i think the next few weeks are going stressful and tough, because of the D&I.... have to think of ideas again!!!....and group not form yet...stress...
OOP teacher quite nice...but the topics are harder now, not sure whether i can catch up?
tml 1st day having lecture with big groups...dunno what's is like? will i fall asleep?...excited...haha...
well, tt's all for today...think i might not have time to blog tt now sch reopen...

2009-04-05T00:32:00.009+08:00

Today, 4/4/09 at around 12.45pm, i almost die.
Luckily, my death fate is not today.
Otherwise, i wont be here writing and going jurong point with vivian.
I should really thank the gods, heaven, Buddha or the death god for not taking my life...
If not next year on 4-4 will be my death anniversary...

Ok, i shall say what happened...
i was going to meet vivian at yt, and my hair was wet so i took out the hair dryer...
the coil of the hair dryer was entangle so i remove the knot...i push the plug in and switch on the supply... at the beginning, the hair dryer stopped for a while and the "hu hu" sound from the hair dryer started, but just for a few milli seconds, the sound became very weird....my eyes darted to the socket and saw fire! and a weird sound was coming from there(i was sure lucky tt i was kneeling and not standing..) i was so frightened and drop the hair dryer on the table(luckily i throw it down quickly or i will be shocked) and screamed like mad(my brother at first thought i saw a bee..Haha) i think i somehow scared stiff and think i saw the blue electricity coming out...i'm not sure.. maybe is the fire thing...
anyway, i was shouting and my mother kept telling me to switch off the switch...but i was like what? the socket was on fire, i cant even switch it off, i will definitely die of electricity shock...as we were telling each other what to do and our eyes glued to the socket, suddenly there's an explosion and the whole electricity supply was cut off, even the main switch from the outside of the house...but if my father was here at tt time, he sure know what to do..but he went out to buy incense paper for qing ming..lOl suay...my mother used the bamboo stick(tt one use for clothes)to switch off the supply..

anyway, my father changed the wire and repaired the hair dryer already but it was still scary to use..i would rather buy a new hair dryer as my mother told me the hair dryer was older than me... if i was standing when blowing my hair, i would not have seen the fire on the socket and kept holding on the hair dryer and i would have die...
i feel extremely fortunate that i am still living and the house was not burn down...

Service jobs: Menial or rewarding

2009-04-02T11:46:00.007+08:00

For the past few weeks newspapers, articles about service jobs and pay cut seems to be a hot topic among people... people are picky even during bad times--recession period...well, in my opinion, u cant blame them because service jobs are tiring due to long irregular working hours, the not so high pay, the odds jobs given and customers' complaints!

I have been working part-time for 12 days already,
sure my legs are tired but there are challenges in the job.
despite having to stand 5 hours for 5 days a week, and the less glamorous cleaning duties, this job is just helping me pass my time in the holidays and also to gain experience.
But if you were to ask me to work full-time and permanently, i would think twice about it.
There are always difficult customers to deal with-those who blame you for a wrong order even though the fault is theirs..and complaints about the size of the packaging and changing order every time.
But surprisingly, i seems not be be bothered by all this, sure at tt time, i felt like quitting. But at the end of the day, i totally forgot about it...maybe is because i'm older now, not like last time the factory job, the supervisor scolded us, and we all quit.(i even cried tt time, it was so stressed.)
And each new day brings a new challenge as well as encounters with varied personalities.

wondering how long i'm able to last for this job...and furthermore, sch starting and i'm not sure whether i can handle it and i just accepted the dip plus prog..omg, it's going to be stressful...
dunno why i'm having second thought about it...
But i know if sch getting stressed up, i'm sure to quit the job even though there's penalty a not...
What mr sim said makes sense, if want to work, u can work all u want when u graduate. And 2nd year totally no holiday as there's a lot of projects.. and recently, i saw jin fang and she told me now her holidays is to think of her final year project and some of them are already working on it..i was so shocked upon hearing this...totally no holiday for them...omg..
and year one should really enjoy the holidays...

2009-03-10T19:59:00.004+08:00

time for updating.... 2 weeks of holiday had passed..
Last Thur went to Ikea and the biggest Giant in Tampanies with my family..
Last Fri went to watch Departures at Plaza Sing with Vivian and Yan Shan. It was a very moving movie, i learnt about the Japanese culture and the encoffining and how to prepare the deceased for a peaceful departure. I was very touch at the scene where the wife finally supports her husband's career. Btw, this movie won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Last Sat, i applied for a job at Burger King and he hired me straight away. I was really surprised because this is the 1st time that i filled in the application form and straight away got an answer. Normally, they said they will call then i didn't hear anything from them again.
Then ytd met up with hui hui and yan shan go jurong point to shop. I bought black pants and shoes.. actually that for work.. when going home, we met gabrielle and hanisah. we had not see each other for months and had a long talk in front of Kopi Roti..Haha..Then went home together. This reminds me it has been 1.5 years since we walk home together. I really miss them and sec sch days...
Today went for injection then went to Lot 1 to window shop. Then went into Bega then the sales assistant keep asking me to try the clothes on and i agreed and then she kept bringing 1 set after another for me to try. I'm so embarrassed that i don't know how to reject her. But i try all the clothes she gave me. Like approx 15 clothing..and i really the clothing but too bad i cant buy all so i bought 4 pieces. It cost a bomb, over 100 dollars...lOl..heart pain..now need the money to earn back the $100++...

2009-02-27T21:23:00.008+08:00

long time didn't blog already, been busy with sch work and exams. Pheww, finally all these are over and now holiday here i come...though i don't really expect my final year exam and GPA results to be good. let's see, last Tue had DE paper, i know i got 1 question wrong as i forget to put the bubble on the EOR gate, it's supposed to be ENOR gate. When i was doing the paper, i know ENOR gate is the answer but don't know why my mind or my hand drew EOR gate. My mum said sometimes human mind are like that, u are supposed to do one thing but u are doing the other thing and memory deteriorates too. I cant really forgive myself for making this mistake as teacher had already gone through this question in class, i know the concept and during exam i know the answer in my head. It was during the MRT ride home i realized this gravely mistake and tt night i kept thinking about it in my sleep until my head hurts when i woke up. Math paper was OK however PEEE is the one which is the killer paper. I got no confidence in my answers at all so i don't expect to score an A this time. But this paper is important so that i can get to my 1st option for my 2nd year. Arr, nvm, i try not think about it too much, it 's bad for health and i'm trying the ways in Mind Your Body on how to relax..Haha..

Last Thursday after math paper, went to newly renovated Jurong Point with Pei fen to watch a movie as she had vouchers for Golden Village cinema. Thank You Pei Fen for treating me!! We watched Slumdog Millionaire which is set in India, with Indian characters, actors and themes----which has been nominated in 10 categories for the Academy Awards.
On Monday, Slumdog won 8 Oscars for :
1. Best Picture
2. Best Director
3. Best Adapted Screenplay
4. Best Cinematography
5. Best Original Score
6. Best Original Song
7. Best Film Editing
8. Best Sound Mixing
Slumdog Millionaire took the top honors during the Academy Awards outshining The Curious Case of Benjamin Button which many expect it to win. I came across a picture (tt kind of pic that use in source-based qn during sec sch SS and Hist) drawn by some artist showing the outline and shape of India country grabbing the Oscar Award. I think that picture is trying to say that India Slumdog Millionaire is the best and it has been decades since India last won an Oscar.
It has the right elements and great artistry, and the child actors are picked from the slums of Mumbai to act in this movie. They are really brilliant as they have no acting skills to begin with.
"Slumdog Millionaire shows slum life in India as it really is with integrity and dignity." It is about a child from the slums in Mumbai, a tea boy in a call centre, who wins a TV quiz show on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? It'a a story of love, hope and destiny. And there's a scene in which the person uses a spoon to dig out the child's eyes and make him a beggar. it's seems so gross even though it is just a movie. But people blinding children to make use of them to beg money for them which is really true in India.
This movie is good and should be highly recommended...

Didn't sleep well
Sleep at 1am on most of the nights this week due to project, project, project... I'm totally sick of it!
Projects make me flare up, and i don't know the reason why...
anyway, we put in all our efforts and determination in the project..however, i just really hope teacher can see our hard work and spare us the low marks...
i know I'm pessimistic, but i cant help it, this mindset have been with me since my sec sch days...i'm still trying to change it.
But sadly, it's easier to be said than done...

Anyway, here's quotes from Queenie Peavy by Rorbert Burch(i totally love this book)
1. "As for the ones who are so unconcerned about your feelings that they make jokes, well, you must learn to consider it their own sadness instead of yours"

2."Why not ignore unkind comments and pokes?Students who annoy you get tired of it if you gave no response to their provocations. Will you do as i suggest?"

3."It is their own sadness if they are crude enough to tease you, and sooner or later they'll realize it. None of us ever knows when we'll be caught up in situations we'd rather have avoided, but one thing's certain: when we are we dont want anybody to laugh at us. It's then that we'll wish we'd been more understanding of others. Do you see my point?"

4."I'm firmly convinced that people who are inconsiderate hurt themselves in the long run more that they hurt anyone else"

5."Folks who laughed at other people's misfortunes did really hurt themselves most of all. Surely sooner or later they would see how unfair they had been. Anyway, from now on she would tell herself "It's their own sadness instead of mine"."

This book is about a girl being bullied by her classmates. Their meaning in the book is so true and meaningful...
I highly recommend this book as it make us feel more confidence when we are down and learned their morales and ways of handling situations. it's makes me cry when people give those advices to Queenie and i pity her background. I dont know how much tears i shed when i finished the whole book...Haha..i hope i can follow those quotes..but it's really a test of how strong our mentality is. I hope i can be strong as Queenie..(Haha, not that i kanna bullied by ppl la)..
Live as the day goes by...

Last of all, i want to express my gratitude to Dong Ye, who helped us in the project. Thank you.

Today is Yung Sin's 19th Birthday...

2009-01-24T14:05:00.004+08:00

Yesterday, some things happened at Yew Tee platform.
Firstly, while i was waiting for the Pasir Ris train, the JE train before the paris ris train stops, just as its doors are closing, two women suddenly stepped out of the train. One of the women was hit by the train door. Everyone near the 1st cabin was shocked, including me. However, she managed to pull herself out.
But then, once they got out of the train, they started quarreling in their foreign language(i think they are from Indonesia or Philippines). Their voice were so loud that attracted the commuters again. They quarrelled until the Pasir Ris train pulls in and got into it. I was wondering what are they arguing about that they have to leave the JE train to shout and almost cost their lives by getting out the last minute.
Next, when i board the train to go home, and the train was supposed to announced Bukit Batok instead it became Raffles Place Interchange. Then the journey towards Bukit Batok and Bukit Gombak, they keep testing the sound system until i became a bit irritated, then they spoke again saying sorry for the inconvenience, the sound system has been corrupted. Once the train stops at CCK, my instinct told me to get off the train and board the next one. However, i did not.
And guess what...
when the train pull in to Yew Tee station, it announced Somerset and the doors cant open. We waited for a few minutes for the doors to open but instead of opening, the train went off and didnt announced what happened. Reached Kranji, the doors need a few moments to open, actually is the driver come out and open. I got out to board the opposite train home. I thought the train was going to pull off however, it seems to not to move and the MRT staffs were on the platform with their walkie talkie and the driver keeps signaling to them..i noticed one passenger in the train walked towards the driver door, think is asking him what happen...However, i cant finish the drama as my train arrives. Reached Yew Tee, i noticed the MRT staffs were on the platform too, it's seems the problem might be serious....
When i tapped my card out of the control gates, my heart seems funny, i cant explained it. I know funny is not the right word, cos i dont even know what i'm feeling... Then saw Vivian and talked to her for a while and the feelings disappeared for a while...

Haha, this post is very long, very naggy and boring..

2009-01-22T23:45:00.004+08:00

2009-01-15T15:16:00.005+08:00

Last Sat went to NYP open house with yung sin and pei fen. initially, was to go with ys but she was late so i called pf and she come down and accompany me then ys came to nyp to meet us there. THANKS PF! We pretended to be 'O' level students and listen to the lecturer talking about the engg courses. Trying to know what they learn in the course..Haha.. The lecturer said the ECCE course is very suitable for girls and have a lot of girls... Lol.. a lot of girls? i think he really wants to attract more students to join the course so tt why he said tt.. Then at 2pm, there's a campus superstar performance, and we got to SEE FELICIA CHIN and the rest of the hosts of campus superstar...at the nyp shopping arcade, i bought 3 socks, including a pump shoes socks, i think the socks very nice and comfortable, Haha, want to go there buy again..hehe..

2009-01-14T12:05:00.005+08:00

Last Friday SP was having open house and we went to see the FYP exhibition as the lecturers told us to..The projects are excellent and the idea is wonderful. We also managed to see a group project that was featured in the news and newspapers. Their project is a wheelchair that allows elderly to stand, etc.. And amazingly, when we were watching them demo the project, one of the team members suddenly said am i a unitian, and said he saw me going to school when i was in Unity sec. Said he stays near my block..Lol...i'm so surprise..and his project has a contract with a company(i read it in the newspaper). Wow, so proud that a person in my neighbourhood is so clever and has such a bright future ahead...Then went to queue up to take free cotton candy, and there was a lucky draw and i won a CD, pf won a poster and a pen for ys... After that went to meet up with vivian, hui hui and yan shan at Seoul garden. They have renovated the place and the pot is at the bottom so that it will not splash on us, however, this made it difficult for us to cook and take the food...my arm is so numb... then hh and vivi wanted to buy the laptop vacuum cleaner so we went to Lot1 Action city.. Here's some fortos for the day:

Today morning lesson quite slack, cos DE haven't teach chapter 9 yet, so we cannot do the student board for IE. Spend the time playing games, watching shows... Then later lunch going to eat with our personal tutor at the staff center.
^off to lunch^

2009-01-06T12:30:00.008+08:00

Ytd PEEE lecture cancelled. We went to Jurong library, pf and ys do their gems
homework while i surf the net and the proposal. Pf said that she wants to buy a pair of
shoes so we went to the shops nearby Jurong library to look for shoes.
Heys gurls, better shop now before the recession starts in a couple of months...
It's the New Year Sales...
We encounter a very weird or maybe a person with mental problem. Along the shelter
to the traffic light there, a man suddenly came up and talk to us. He took out his
"phone" and said this is called cellphone in India, mobile phone in Britain,
handphone in Singapore???there 's no word called "handphone". Then he went on
rumbling about he being a teacher in British council and previously a principal. He
said he don't need to take up English lessons(those language lessons flyers being
distributed along the cover link way) . Said he is currently a student in a law school
and flash out his student pass...also ask which country we are from, i said Singapore
and then he turn to ys and said:" are u from Myanmar?"LOL..Before he left he said:"I
want to be a lawyer!" So funny and weird... i think that he what he said about the
'phone' thing is correct. Maybe he is trying to indirectly tell us that our English is bad.
My mum told me maybe he study until siao already..

Haix going to do tcs hw already...

2009-01-01T16:17:00.006+08:00

Ytd received my Structured Programming MST paper, got an 88 and the lab test 2 score is also 88. Lab test 2 have done quite badly, cos i cant do the last debug which costs 10marks.. Haix... PEEE result--73. I knew i surely didn't do well on that one... Anyway,

2008-12-29T16:13:00.003+08:00

Today 1st day of school not too bad except that during PEEE lecture, i was so sleepy that i feel my head is going to bang the table. Today got back my results.
DE - 79
Math - 92
i dont know whether is good or bad, cos DE is not up to expectation, a B grade... Math have careless mistakes which dearly cost me 3.5 marks...A thumb ups for eimonison who score 99.5
Finally completed my draft proposal already, feeling good now..

Haix, tml going to get back my PEEE paper, that one i dont expect to get A, i know it myself...
Afraid of tcs tml...

2008-12-28T14:02:00.006+08:00

Tml school reopens already. However, a feeling inside me makes me not wanting to go to school. I don't know why, my feelings are all so mixed up...worried, anxiety, stress, afraid, dreading tml .... maybe it's because we will be getting back our results. I know deep down the test results will not be satisfying and i know i will be disappointed. Tml, i shall put up a strong face and shall not break down, today i going to be mentally prepared for tml lessons but will i able to do that? Afraid of tcs lesson on Tue. Proposal report has to be submitted that day and I'm not ready yet. Been doing it for few days already. My idea for the proposal might not work and the idea seem so weird. Fire safety stove with a timer and sensor? the sensor thing is giving me tremendous stress, design haven't even draw yet. I'm so confused and wanted to cry. I'm now dreading the class on Tue. Still the day will come, i wish i can be a person who don't worry or care about things. But I'm human, humans have feelings. And i know my character, i going to be stressed for a long time ....

2008-12-27T13:21:00.005+08:00

Last Sat with yan shan, we met qiu yuan and her friends as she invited us for a gathering. Met her at West Mall Burger King before heading to her friend's house. Her friend, Eric drove us there...at first i was a bit shocked and naturally worried.... But nvm, he has his licisence. However, knowing the way and roads at such a young age does impressed me. Back to the gathering, reached our destination and i realised that it was a church self-group gathering, they played games, watch videos and eat. Then went to West Mall and went home...haha...

Ytd, i received an email from min jung, i'm so happy, as it was a fast reply from her...i'm glad she doing well and enjoying her holidays... HAPPY HOLIDAYS and Take Care, MIN JUNG...hope to see u in Korea one day...

Today, i recieved a message from one of my primary school friend, she said there is a class6A gathering on the 24th, but i'm still not sure whether to go or not...as long time never see them already...it's also a rare chance to see them...

HAPPY HARI RAYA HAJI!

Yesterday went to acer computer at jurong to accompany yung sin to do a check on her computer. Took bus 105 at Dover bus stop but we alighted one stop earlier and had to walk quite a distance before reaching acer computer. Joined the repair queue and told them the problem and took a queue number, we had to wait for an hour before our turn come. so while waiting, watch a repeat show of First Class and chatted with yung sin....time passed and it's finally our turn. The expert told us that the adaptor has some manufacturing problem so a newly adaptor was replaced for it. Well, this trip was not totally wasted for me as i have learnt that we can take out the battery even though the laptop is running with ac adaptor. AND afterwards we stay at the toilet for such a long time , and this is what we do in the washroom:

TAKING PHOTOS....Hahas...

2008-11-10T23:33:00.005+08:00

Today went to help out SPMP roadshow at 9.30am so had to leave class early.. the event starts at 11.30 am and so we help set up the booths and everything.
At the show, my job is to pass out the voting sheets to passer-by and tell them to vote who they think is the most photogenic.
At one point of time, i am surrounded by people who are dropping their votes in the box which I'm carrying, my friend said to me, " 你很可怜, you so small size, being surrounded by them already ."
OK, I'm shorter than them But it was a bit disheartening to hear this as i have always thought I'm tall enough already though I'm thin.
Now come to think of it, i am short, cos even i went out with my Chinese tuition friends few Fri nights ago, I'm always the shortest at 159cm... they are all taller than 160cm and i feel bei guan already.
Recalling the boys in sec sch, my head is only at their shoulder.
lOl...why am i so short, I'm so envious with girls who are taller and taller is beautiful.
Actually am i really that small size? small size is in terms of what? is it just because I'm thin that why is consider small size?
lOl... nvm, now cant even change my height already but if can i hope i can grow taller so wont feel left out....

happy birthday

2008-11-07T23:46:00.014+08:00

Today, i had a surprise from my classmates...
But first of all, thank you to all the people who had given me wishes. Thank You!!

Had structured programming test today, teacher let us see the answer sheet after the test. As i couldn't get the final answer, i was preoccupied with the answer sheet, yung sin suddenly tap my shoulder, and the next thing i saw were the words happy bdae was written by the guys on the projector screen using teacher's laptop...i was so surprised by it!
we were going to eat lunch but halfway to foodcourt 5, yung sin, pei fen said they want to go toilet 1st, then after that, went to foodcourt 5, but dominic was waiting the entrance and he led us down to the swimming pool there. i was wondering, what are we doing here?, i thought we are supposed to eat lunch, why are we coming down here, here got food to eat meh?or the foodcourt don't have enough seats? Then i saw it already, thank you pei fen, yung sin, dominic, dong ye, dennis, derrick and jun cheng so much for the cake!....It's very touching and happy, really appreciate your efforts and time guys...

Meet up with vivian, hui hui and yan shan at ang mio kio to eat steamboat. It was an eye-opening for me, i didnt know there's such place... thank you yan shan for bringing us there! Though the ambience there was not as good as soul garden but the atmosphere is there... the uncle even said there's 3 to 4 groups celebrating their birthdays! Erm, frankly speaking, it's a good place for celebration and it's cheaper than soul garden...
It was fun as we were talking a lot of crap just like the old times...i really miss that feeling...!! Hahas...and hui hui also get bullied... hahas...And thanks for your presents, girls!

laughing girls

2008-11-06T23:17:00.005+08:00

Today, my stomach was not in good shape and is only allow to eat only NON OILY food, so during my break time, i couldn't find a stall that sells porridge or guo tiao mee fen tan.
So i wonder what do sick people eat in polytechnics... At least secondary school sells all these!
Bought vermicelli and ask the aunty not to put egg and meat so the she replaced it with vegetables! And the cost is still the same!!!
Maybe the school can put up a stall that sells plain food for sick and no appetite for the day people...
Hahas...just thinking only.. :)

During the Lab , something spectacular happened..
With the help of the technician, and together with yung sin, we did the lab halfway and suddenly, there's a fetid smell coming from our row of table..
At first i thought is was me who let out the wind as i had mentioned my stomach was not in good shape.
But the smell gets stronger and it's continous, (well it's not me who let it out)i so wanted to laugh so i turn my head, the technician told me to look at the function generator as he was explaining something...so no choice had to pretend to listen...then he spoke in Malay to yung sin and she told me that the uncle accused us of letting the gas out! What?!
At first I'm so humiliated, and we started to guess who the curplit who farted. Hahas... we even guessed is the uncle who farted...wahahah...and we laugh at the thought of it.
in DE class, we still thinking about the lab esposide, so
countinous laughter
And i said to yung sin that it might be us farting for continous time so that why the smell is so strong and when she heard the word "continous", there was
laughter again and we cracked until our sides pain and faces red..we couldnt stop..and our classmates called us crazy for laughing like that..even the lecturer tell us to shhh...
we managed to stop after 15 min of continous laughter and headed to LT for a blood donation talk.
We sat at the last row and at one time me and yung sin lean back our heads to rest. then i looked back and saw many pieces of hair struck to the white sheets that is behind our heads.
so laughed again...
me and yung sin become crazy girls today for laughing too much>> my cheeks hurt<<

saw madam li yy at Jurong East platform ...

no more laughter through the nightzzz...i think...hahas

Bukit timah nature reserve

2008-10-27T15:42:00.008+08:00

Had cca on Sat, went to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.
Meet them at Bukit Batok and they split us into groups, so was separated with my friend so as to make more friends-- that's what they said...
Was in the blue group and they said blue route has the shortest distance. Well, it's true but the road was very STEEP! It was so tiring when climbing upwards, and there were lots of mosquitoes, I was bitten about 11 times...next time must bring insect repellent...
Saw monkeys throughout our walk... and saw one incident where a monkey snatch a couple's plastic bag( which contain tidbits) when they are taking photographs of themselves.. the woman's scream was so loud that everyone turn to look at her... i think it was scary, i wouldn't want a monkey to touch me...
Here's some pictures i took:

nice day

2008-10-15T17:07:00.006+08:00

Structured Programming was okay today, it's the first lesson so it's not quite difficult but i know in the subsequent lessons it will be more difficult to catch.. didn't know a computer has so many languages...and we need to learn it..ohh..
From today onwards, I'm going to plan my goals...had personal financial planning lesson today, the teacher is humorous and is very open- minded, she talked about her experiences, and found her lecture very useful and never boring..Hahas..i didn't fall asleep...Hehe..
going to have a early night today...

2nd day of sch

2008-10-14T20:11:00.007+08:00

Today may not be the best day in school because when the first lesson starts, the teacher is mumbling to himself, i cant even understand what is he talking about. Took back my PEEE results..erm, 86 is it good? now i'm not even sure of it.
After the lesson, i took out my handphone and realised i had accidentally accessed the Internet without knowing. It was switched on for 19.56 minutes oh my goodness now going to worry about the bill next month...
Had teamwork & communication skills lesson, the teacher told us to write an essay and said she is going to go through our grammars etc. to choose people to attend self-help English lessons.. omg, i was totally shocked when i heard that and today's composition was the worst i had written, must be due to lack of practice, it's been months since 'O' levels... now worrying whether I'd be chosen to take extra English lesson...but it might be a good thing right? so that can improve my English and it's free too... but the thought of it just make me depressed and disheartened...

sad day

2008-10-08T22:47:00.003+08:00

Don't know why feeling upset and troubled all day... what happened to me? I'm feeling all mixed up. no one to turn to.. mum and pf and ys saw I'm feeling down but i don't know how to tell them what and why I'm like tt... weird right?... i just cant bear to pour my feelings out otherwise my tears will come without warning... i think i should not be too paranoid maybe it did not even happen or is there at all.. ate chocolate pancake and watched television, did lift my spirits up a bit...
hope a goodnight sleep will let me forget all the headaches!!

Mr Sim is not joking when he said we had to be kiasu and wait before the computer screen.. But i dont understand why the places r taken within a sec when there r 390 seats and i am punctual...is my typing or clicking too slow?
