Hahahaha, OK! I'm really glad its almost the end of all the projects and assignments, because I can safely say that EVERYONE in the course is doing his/her best to meet the deadline for our major project which is on Friday. Well, honestly, its been a really exhausting and bothersome project, and I bet everyone will agree with me, however, I pushed myself to almost my limit, been sleeping late the pass few weeks to complete drawings which I initially had no idea I could produce just out of my head, and the pass few days staring at the computer figuring out how to do the softcopy version of the project, but thankfully, all of it is almost done, and its the final leg of the race!

Well, I also went out yesterday, and practically spent half of my day at one same area:Queensway shopping centre. I was with GZ and Mark, and we went there to scan our FINAL drawing, and it was relief when that was done, meaning that we wouldn't need to touch anymore markers or colour pencils any longer. =) So anyway, as usual, I went there on time and those 2 guys were 1 hour and 2 hours late, so I just sat there day dreaming and people watched as well. But after we scanned the plan, we went on a shopping spree! Muahahaha, GZ wanted to get a few new clothes before the New Year, and so I totally agreed on going shopping with him, but Marky,despite him being richly blessed with money, didn't buy much. Hahaha, we spent 5 hours straight at Queensway just walking up and down and all around, because we're guys, so we're new to the shopping scene. I know girls, you all can go up and down Orchard Road, with a lot of purchases within that amount of time, hahahaha, guys need time to think and deliberate whether or not to make that purchase;we also have to weigh the pros and cons of buying that particular product, so its not that simple. =P
HAHAHAHA, you all might be thinking: 'like whatever man', and I guess we're just too fickle-minded, so took such a long time.

But in all honesty, quote from Mark: 'even though this project is tiring, I find it really fun at the same time', and I really agree with him, our group:GZ,Mark,Wen Wei and myself all put in a lot of effort into this project and we really roughed it out together as a group as well. I find it really fun to endure such stuff together(not that I'm sadistic or anything), but it's the company that really motivates you to complete your task, and it was really applicable during both stay-overs at Mark's and my place. I really fell that we know each other even better, and we're a lot closer though this project. So even though this is an irritating project, with such a big weightage on our scores, added with all the stress and pressure to finish up the drawings, it really was a great journey with the guys, and this will be one of the memorable projects in my mind. So let's finish up this thing and get it over with guys! Haga de neuvo!! =P

Alright, just reached home after a tiring and fun day. Well, today's GKidz went pretty well actually, it was my very first time taking the whole group(at full strength),and the small group time was better than expected. Really glad that the boys paid attention, and I am SO glad I joined 6 months ago, if not I would have just crumbled under the behaviour of the children. Hahahaha, so ya,really thankful for that.

Cell group was also quite good actually, all of us hada really great time at Suzanne's place, and after so many donkey weeks, I finally got to touch a guitar once again. It just felt great to just play songs and have a mini sing-along session with the cell. The last time I touched a guitar was during the New Year, and from then till now, simply tied up with projects and assignments. Really glad I got most of them done, and now it's just down to revising for the upcoming exams.
Thank God that the tedious part is finally over, and I don't think I'll sleep late anymore :P

On the way home, Ling Jie,Adrian,Dickson and myself had a really good chat over science fiction stories, and how to come up with our own stories. Hahaha, it was really hilarious also,because Calvin was also inside the car, but there wasn't any response from him at all, and when we asked him, he said he didn't understand what we were all talking about. LOL, man! It was just funny, and we also thought up of ideas involving Hitler, Bill Gates, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings and of course, the definitive science fiction movie:Back to the future. It was really cool to talk about stuff like that, and I totally didn't expect Adrian to be a science fiction geek! So I tried my luck at whether he knew about the Mechwarrior series(I think Marky also likes them), and surprisingly, he knew quite a lot about them, so we just talked on and on about the game and stories and the plots and characters and all, and he's the first person I have ever spoken to about Mechwarrior. Mainly because 99% of my friends all either don't know what in the world it is about ,and some know of it,but don't like it. So I was really psyched to talk about this topic.

Well, ya, that was my Sunday, and I'm really happy with today, and now I'm going off to finish off some loose ends on my projects and take a trip to dreamland, so good night and sweet dreams people!

Hope for the hopless, Rest for the weary

Well, it's been quite a while since I last updated this page. Well, quite a bit has happened these past few days, birthday just passed, not much activity going on there, both happy and disappointed at the same time, hahahahha. Then my iPod and earphones both took a swim ONCE AGAIN! Hahahaha, fortunately, they're both alright, PHEW!!! I guess I'm really lucky and blessed to have them both still working well, or else $250 down the drain, literally.
Finally got the chance to go home early and relax at home, and for a while, projects were out of my head, ah well, now they're back to haunt me, so break's over. I've been sleeping quite late these few days as well, and the cumulative effect is taking a toll on me, and I have just been sleeping to and from school, gosh, its really tiring.

But honestly, like the title of the post says, the major project was initially going nowhere, but now there's hope in it, and I'm starting to warm up to it(after so long). Furthermore, the Year 3 project groups was announced, and everyone wasn't happy about it at all, well, including me of course. However, just now, I checked my email, and there was a change in the groupings again, and I guess everyone is much happier about their groupings. I don't really know how to explain it, but I feel that He's so real to me. I mean, when I talked to Him on the bus heading home, just basically chatting about the going-ons in school, and after doing that, I don't feel tired anymore, and when I get back home, this email appears. I mean it might be coincidence, but I see them as something real from Him, and I'm really grateful for everything that has happened in my life.

OK, now I'm logging off to chill and rest for today. See you all soon!

Look at the time, and you might think that I'm out of my mind. Well, not yet, I'm up so late because I need to edit my group's presentation for our big earphone project. Hahaha, and thankfully, I'm done and now I can ease my mind. Well, today also marks another year since my birth. Hahaha, 1 year ago on this very day, I was also in the midst of my toilet project. Last year was with TNN, this year I'm staying up late with V.I, hahahaha, what's next? Anyways I'm glad to be one more year older again, more mature, wiser and able to take on bigger responsibilities in life. Really glad I'm 19, older than most of my peers, but one step closer to NS, oh well, it'll come sooner or later, so no point worrying too much over it.

Anyways, friday Mark and GZ came over to my place to spend the night, because we had to complete our LD project, and it was a productive 2 days I must say, because we got the work done, and now I can safely say 60% of the work has been completed, now it's down to the final leg of the race. Hahahaha, throughout the whole time while we were doing the drawings, we were just crapping around, well, I was doing most of the crapping, because if a night goes by so silently, it won't be much fun, and furthermore, I hardly get any guests in my house, so it was fun for me personally. Had a freat time with those 2 dudes, and it was good to play host to them. A little accident happened at the toilet, but it's alright, no problems. Hahahahahaha!

The guys left on Saturday afternoon, and I went to meet my family because they wanted to bring me out for my birthday celebration dinner. It was not too bad, Telok Ayer Street's Manna Korean Restaurant. The food was very nice, but I was a bit exhausted, so I didn't talk much, hahahaha, sad case. But after that, we wenbt to this new place called Privé. It's located at Keppel Bay, near VivoCity. It's an extremely new place, and it's a diner, gastrobar and sea-side yacht club all rolled into one. Sadly we went at night, because if it was the day, the view would have been much better, but hey, it wasn't that bad, and with good company, it didn't matter at all. That place is a good place for romantic moments by the sea, and it's totally free, and the wind there is amazing! It hardly stops blowing, and the cool night air is a rare feeling for me. Alrighty, now I just need to go sleep and rest my mind, and see all of you very soon!


The durian cake in front was simply amazing! D.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s!


Group shot!


Hahaha, the cousins' expressions.


By the Keppel Bay.


Team V.I! Hahahaha, it was great working with you bunch of brutes! =D

Oh man, it's really been a long time since I had a really good rest. Today:16 January 2008, will be the day which breaks this tiring cycle. Hahahaha, finally, I can really take a rest from drawing and colouring and shading, it has been a hectic week so far, and I'm really euphoric that its gone already. Initially I was extremely worried how my group and I could finish up so much stuff within the week, not including our own individual projects and reports. Thankfully, everything fell into place, and I can finally sleep at my usual time once again! =D
I know my team members have not finished their work yet, but I know wholeheartedly that they will complete everything and pull through together. Oh yea!!
Alright, now I'm going to sleep to make up for all the lost sleep over the past few days, and to prepare for Ngee Ann Polytechnic's Open House tomorrow!
Good night!

Greetings everyone! Well,just came home from a really tiring day, hahahaha, ah well, Sundays, a day to rest from school. So anyway why am I home so late?? Well, everyone knows about the DHL balloon right? Hahahaha, yup, you guessed it, I just went up there! It was apprehensive at first, but thankfully it wasn't that bad, and I had my cell group, well the guys anyways, to all go up together, and it was a really cool ride! Literally, because the wind up there is really blowing and this time of the year, it's really chilly, and it was really cool. Hahaha, took a few shots up there, and honestly, the camera distracted me from thinking about the altitude I was at, so ya, here they are:

Anyone know the name of this building??
National Library!
Dickson, Steven & Calvin.
Yours truly & Adriannn.
Da cousins!
Group shot~!
Back on terra firma.
This little adventure wouldn't have been possible without the help of Lionel, and I really want to thank him for arrangning this for us all, and the guy on the extreme left,Thomas,Lionel's old buddy, helped us out, and it was great that they did. Thanks a lot guys!!
Now its back to projects and more deadlines, so I'm turning in now, very late for me already, so good night and sleep well everyone!

Grab your pillows and sleepingbags!!

Hahahaha, ah yes, its only halfway through the week, and its kind of bad as usual, with all the draggy lectures and long schooling hours. But it's been a while since our class had a fieldtrip, and all of us had 2 in two weeks, one was last Friday, and the other just today. Really cool places, nurseries, but of course, mostly to us plant people only, I highly doubt that other people will like it there, hahahaha.
Anyways, with more fieldtrips, more assignments are due, and fortunately, one redundant project has been cancelled, so shouldn't it be better for us? Well, not really ,because we still have a lot more reports to write and 1 major project yet to be done. So my group has agreed to stay over at Marky's place once again!! Hahaha, this semester I've been staying at Marky's place for quite a few times already, not that I'm complaining. :P
I'll probably complete our earphone report as well, it's going to be a lot of work the next 2 days, but I know I can do it, so no worries!
Ok till next time people!!

Alrighty! Good day good day today today. Today marks a milestone in my personal calender: I got my very own Primary 4 group in GKidz. Hahahahaha, it's really fast considering that I was still talking about it half a year ago, and it was a good experience I must say.
I was talking to Mark about it last week, and he said:"GKidz eh, G liao la." Then I replied:"Ya man, they G me lor."
Hahahaha, but it turned out that it wasn't the case today. I have 6 new guys assigned under me, and they will be my guys for the rest of my life,hahahaha, don't know if it sounds intimidating or not, but I say they're a blessing to me. It will be trying time for me, but the way I see it, its a growth process and some part of me wants to back out, however, Adrian encouraged me to stay strong and keep at it! And indeed I shall! Hahaha, so ends the very first GKidz session for me, and many more to come in the future.
Oh,and talking about future, Ling Jie, go read up more on quantum mechanics, and quantum leap yourself into the past/future!! HAHAHAHAHA!! :P

Wednesday, January 02, 2008

Well, it's the first day of school of the New Year, and it was quite expected I should say. Lectures all the whole day, and by the end of the day, everybody was almost knocked out by then, and it was Mr Saiful's lesson, which meant that he would be explaining his favourite subject slowly and clearly. Hahahaha, and it wasn't a surprise that I dozed off during his class, because it was the accumulative deprivation of sleep from the SGB duties and the late night during New Year's Day. Then during his class, my head started to ache really badly and I cou;dn't concentrate much, but fortunately it was towards the end of the day, so it wasn't too bad. It was so pain I had a hard time walking to the bus stop, and I couldn't even talk to MJ along the way, and of course also had to endure the long bus ride home,hahahahaha, oh well, at least now I'm home, so not too bad.
Now more assignments have been handed out, and more work to be done as well. Ah man, it's going to be an extremely busy 1 and a half months before the long-awaited holidays. So I'm signing off early, and getting an early night's rest. Bye!
