It's mid term break.. Yeah!?

My mid term break will be filled with doing countless projects, reports, assignments and studying for tests.. should I be happy? haiz..

Something that I can resist and do without: CDs

I think I am sort of the "dumb" person who spends a lot of money on buying CDs.. can just download the songs right.. why bother to buy CDs.. waste money! But I believe that if I really like the songs or the singers.. I should buy the originals to support.. and I also don't know how to be pirate.. don't know where to get the songs.. unless somebody come and teach me.. haha.. If I don't really support the singers but want to try listening to the songs.. I will just buy parallel imports which are so much cheaper.. about slightly half the price of Singapore versions.. can save a lot.. and these imports look exactly like the real.. don't look pirated.. except that some extras like MV may not be included.. nevermind.. just to try listen.. no need MV and free gifts..
My mum don't like me waste money on CDs but I just cannot resist it.. haha.. that is my weakness.. don't know why.. buying CDs has become my enjoyment.. and I just bought 3 CDs today.. don't tell my mum.. haha.. I always like to go to my favorite shop at Pearl's centre to buy.. the CD there can cost $2 less than that at MJ, sembawang, CD Rama.. even the parallel imports are cheaper.. although it is far.. still worthy to go there.. if I buy more.. also has discount leh.. haha.. sometimes I just feel the urge to go there.. and look around.. a form of relaxation bah..

I will wish you all the best then.. if you need any help, I will try my best to help you.. I also want to thank you for taking over.. it will never be off my mind.. if I am still on the job..

Go Away! Sleepy Virus!

Very sickening.. I don't know why I always feel so sleepy especially when I attend 8am class.. My whole day will be sleepy, sleepy, sleepy.. what's wrong with me? Once I am sleepy.. I cannot control my eyelids and they will surely drop down and shut up my eyes and my mind.. I just can't pull them open.. it is so difficult to recover from my lack of rest.. holidays have been so happening that I don't have time to rest and all the events lasted until two weeks ago then officially end.. but too late.. it's so difficult to catch up now.. I have been so inattentive in class.. I really feel the torture and stress now.. eveybody can answer every questions so well except me.. how to catch up now.. I still have so many projects and tests coming up.. Help Me! I must improve my grades this sem.. but I quite disheartened already.. really scared leh.. I must work hard and not be distracted liao.. I must!
I tried to study in library but the conclusion is library is a place good for sleeping but not good for study for me.. the air-con is so cold that makes me feel so comfortable to sleep.. I never like to study in library and now still the same.. Its only a place for me to research and print stuff.. I must find other options.. and not club room liao.. time for me to leave the place..
SCMC ends for me.. and I start to feel lost.. I seems to be out of place in my group of non-sci club friends.. I have distanced from them much.. it's like another freshmen year for me.. I really don't want to eat alone.. that's very sad..
Other all the frustrating things.. luckily got one good news.. I using broadband now.. Yeah! finally.. hahaha.. using the slow dial up for so many years.. finally using broadband, the feeling is so good.. I can try to do many things that using dial up cannot be done.. like playing online game? must try.. but only when I am free bah..

Money, money, money

Never feel so tight before.. today was bombed by two letters that deals with money.. I will be poor soon.. really don't feel optimistic about it.. what will happen if my money is gone.. I really don't know.. must really look into options to earn some money..

Lab report, lab report, lab report..

I say a lot of times to many people that I don't lent or give lab reports becos I am just so selfish.. I just don't feel good.. when people totally copy from my report.. without putting much efforts in their own reports.. all my reports I did myself.. sometimes I did ask for help from friends and look at some reports but is only after I cannot solve the problems after thinking over and over again.. and most of my reports are handwritten.. I don't really like typing.. handwritten is better for me.. so only one copy.. cannot give people.. really sorry.. but that's me.. if you say you don't know how to do something I still can help.. and let you see my report but only that you use some parts..

Elizabeth Choy dies at 96

On 14 Sept 2006, war heroine Elizabeth Choy passed away..
When I saw this news, I felt so sad.. I may not know her personally.. but she is someone that I really respect.. feel so familiar with.. She was one of those war heroes who are featured in all school history texts.. learn history will surely know her.. I cannot remember many and she is one of the few that I can remember clearly.. the other is Lim Bo Seng bah.. I must say I am quite a patriotic person.. so I always have interest in history and Elizabeth Choy being so determined and daring to risk her life to help the prisoners of war and go against the Japanese.. even survived the punishment given by the Japanese.. I really salute her for that.. not many can do this I think.. I not sure as there is no war now to find out.. after war, she even become the first female in the legislative council.. contribute to the society in her later life as a social worker and teacher.. she is really a good role model.. I really respect her for that.. now.. she left and she really step into history and become a historical figure for Singaporeans to remember.

I really missed a lot of news.. being so involved in sci club activities that I do not know much about what is happening around the world.. I was even shocked when I heard that the "crocodile man" is dead already.. after being stinged by stingray.. it is shocking.. a man who is always on tv playing with his crocodile in the end was killed during the filming of a documentary.. he is destined to stay with nature bah..

Nite Cycling - the last 26th SCMC event

Haha.. almost cannot go for nite cycling.. had a fight with my mother.. she wants me to rest at home instead of staying thru out for nite cycling but I am just so stubborn.. I want to go means I really want to go.. nobody can stop me.. she just don't understand how much I want to go.. I never being to nite cycling before.. It will be my first experience and may also be my only time.. never know.. and also I paid for it already.. why waste the money.. and I really want to finish MC with the last event. So beating and some crying.. and some cooled down talk.. I guess she give in in the end.. she cannot do much if I really want to go..
To me, nite cycling is interesting.. can go around different parts of Singapore.. mainly the southern part just on bicycle.. can see the nice night scenery of Singapore which I like.. we went from east coast to lau pa sat to newton food centre to lavender food centre to aljunied coffee shop.. that time already 7 plus am already.. we actually used 3 hours to get to lau pa sat from east coast.. haha.. amazingly long right becos we take our time.. stopping here and there to take photos.. haha.. we are just leisure cyclists mah.. in the end.. after aljunied.. we skipped bedok and went back to east coast directly.. by that time.. my buttock and back ached so much lor.. and I cannot think properly other then just using my remaining strength concentrating on cycling back.. when we ended cycling, it is already 8 plus.. cycled about 10 hours.. haha.. amazing.. first time in my life.. but I must say we really have fun.. Nixon always complained thru out the journey as he cannot cycle well and he always say he is the one who delayed us.. actually not really lor.. all of us are just taking our own sweet time to cycle mah.. and I feel he really improved a lot in cycling.. he started off unsteady but he got steadier and steadier.. happy for him.. I was so tired after that I slept in the cab and don't even know I have reach home until the taxi uncle woke me up.. haha.. I think he drove me to elsewhere I also don't know..


















We are the papaya zeus! Jerry is the papaya.. We are the zeus.. hahaha.. erh.. not funny meh..

Officially stepped down.. but still have to remain around..

Immediately the next day of dnd.. internal elections started.. internal elections lasted until wed.. It is a tiring period that test our strength of staying awake until 4, 5 am.. and the conclusion is I cannot dahan staying awake until "so early".. really cannot make it.. I start to fall asleep towards the end lor.. have to stay over for two days lor.. but I found that staying in sch not bad.. 8am lesson can 7 plus wake up.. if coming from home.. how can so late wake up.. wake up at 5.30am leh.. hate 8 am lesson.. due to lack of sleep.. those few days I always fall asleep in lessons lor.. never pay attention in class.. hai~ but I was one of those culprits that prolong the elections lor.. I voted no confidence.. which resulted in voting and representation.. really sorry but I really cannot help it.. I felt what I have done is right.. no matter what..


















Me and friends who helped me a lot in space

AGM on last thurs.. officially stepped down finally.. yeah! what I looking forward to and also what my parents looking forward to.. they always ask me the same question.." when will your things end?" so irritating.. and I always feel the stress from them but they just don't understand.. " We didn't give you stress yah.." like real.. and what about "I hope you can try to get a second upper.. graduate.. get a good job then I don't need to work so hard.".. "you must take care of mother after you start working.".. these don't give me stress mah.. in sms.. "we all love you. must take care okay." this love to me is so stressful.. I always stress myself so that I can do well and don't let my parents down.. this is so unbearable and irritating that I always break down in front of them.. shout at them.. aand they just cannot be more understanding.. give me more quiet moments.. they will just nag and nag.. non-stop.. I am really sorry that I shouted at them and treated them badly.. but it's just so unbearable.. then now.. after my life in MC ended.. they treated me so good.. they are just so happy that I spend more time at home.. is it really so good to have so much love.. I should feel fortunate but I only get a conclusion out of it.. if I have children, I don't have only one but at least two.. it's not good to be only child.. Stepping down is a relief for most people.. finally finished the journey.. and ended quite nicely.. For me, I still have to carry on for a while until the new director step up.. can't wait for "he" to step up soon.. I have studies to catch up.. a lot leh.. sleep too much in class liao.. haha.. In this journey in sci club, I really learnt a lot..

List of what I learnt and done first time in my life:
do own designing of signage using photoshop, before my publicity team is formed
plan and do stuff in a more organised manner
think of meeting agenda and conduct meetings
send official emails and letters
communicate properly with admin stuff and potential sponsors
how to choose the right people for jobs and trust them 100%
how to handle office politics and handle interperson relationships
separate enjoyment and work.. enjoy as much while you play and serious while you work
balance school work, tests, projects and MC
handle many stuff at one time and do them well
handle stress better
enjoy cleaning so much with satisfaction
think of others before yourself
try to be less selfish and share with others
cherish the people around you.. especially your friends
importance of having support from family and friends

these are just some points I thought of now.. actually the list can be never ending.. some of them may sound very basic things that we should already know.. but I only know them when I was in MC.. really experience it in MC.. I was taught a lot and these will always stay with me for my whole life..

The last few weekends of FOP..

hee.. have not been updating my blog for so long le.. becos I was so tired and busy with MC stuff and going for the various activities and still have to handle the reports that I have to hand in every week.. must say the last few weeks are so eventful.. wanted to update blog.. got lots to say but sleep and sch work more important.. haha..
So what I did the last few weekends other than busy completing lab reports..
20 Aug 2006 Sun
Went to rag exhibition.. first time that rag day moved out of NUS and has an exhibition outside.. It was at the area outside PS.. Look at the floats exhibited there you will be impressed.. especially the winning hall float.. the details are so fine and looked so real.. you will wonder how they can do it.. haha.. saw my friend dancing for her hall.. wow.. never thought she can dance so well and so enthu.. haha.. staying in hall will make you different.. after talking to her.. find that she is really attached to her hall.. even though she is not staying there anymore.. I went to the exhibition just to support sci rag.. had hesitated becos I was so tired but I just felt strongly that I have to be there so I just went..
26 Aug 2006 Sat "Partito. It's Boogie Time"
first time went to zouk.. I not a chiong person mah.. before that.. went to have dinner with zeus people.. haha.. I was in such a dilemma.. both zeus and bugs bunny are going and some more so coincident meet at the same place and same time for dinner.. both ogs want me to join them.. but zeus asks me first so I have to go with them.. haha.. bugs bunny went to tiong bahru market to eat.. wear nice nice still go such a hot place to eat.. I actually suggested both og go same place to eat but nixon don't like to sweat a lot so cannot lor.. then we just went BK that has aircon.. at zouk.. I support both jas and sky.. haha.. my freshies.. I cheer as loud as I can leh.. for both of them.. they aso has a very strong support group.. their ex-classmates, friends or even family.. happy for them that they have so many supporters.. haha.. bugs bunny was the loudest cheering OG in SOW and so we are the loudest supporting group for sky.. we shout and cheer so loud for him lor.. since both of them brought so many supporters.. it is not surprising that they won the clubbing king and queen, "Mr Jeanperrie" and "Miss Kai".. both are my freshies leh.. I am so proud of them.. haha.. I was really happy that night.. that night I have to shuffle between the two ogs.. so as not to miss out and neglect any of them.. on the end zeus ppl left early for supper so I stayed with bb.. the music in zouk was so not nice for dancing.. so sianz.. same kind of music repeating.. think it's trance bah.. but many people there know how to zhi high.. haha.. including some of my freshies.. haha.. never expected them to know how to drink and dance.. I remembered when I am freshie.. I don't even know much about clubbing and don't dare to drink much lor.. this generation is different.. hai~ I think I sometimes really have generation gap with them.. and feel so old.. when they call me "da jie".. really not used to that.. I want to stay young! that night, I really drank much more.. mix this mix that.. in the end a bit drunk.. haha.. felt dizzy and cannot walk properly.. but I tried to control myself.. and pretend nothing happen when my dad came to fetch me.. back home I still did my stuff properly, chat with my parents and before dropping dead on bed.. heehee.. my mum and dad did not notice anything.. haha..


















Me with our clubbing queen and king


2 Sept 2006 "Hollywood Dreams. Where The Star is You!"
"D n D".. something that will make me have headache.. must think of what to wear.. something appropriate for the occasion.. which is so difficult for me.. I seldom dress nice nice.. except for special occasion.. I am just lazy.. only when the occasion comes then I will feel so kan chiong.. but luckily I have bought a dress last time to keep for such events.. then not so headache this time.. yah so lucky.. becos that time I was so busy lor.. no time to go shopping lor.. then the other MC gals say they want to go makeover.. "huh? die lah" that was on my mind.. so much thing to do.. must be so formal yah.. I also want to look nice leh.. cannot be the odd one out lor.. but my parents will not want me to spend so much many for hair and make up de.. so eveything is DIY.. fortunately.. I got a mother who knows how to do the hair.. so I just let her do lor.. that time I really feel that my life was in her hand becos I just let her do without know what hairstyle she will make and there is not mirror in front of me.. so scary.. then the result.. the puff up one.. my first reaction:"okay lah.. but will I look old or not? a bit old fashion lor.." but better than nothing lah.. and some more cannot change lor.. makeup I did myself.. first timeI put on makeup myself leh.. okay lah.. actually it is not so difficult lor.. but put on once a while is okay.. I am just so lazy.. haha.. actually when I reach traders hotel.. I was a bit scare scare de.. don't know what the others will say about me.. people like to make fun of me leh.. I must say my weakness is lack of self confidence.. I was really scared people will feel that I look weird.. in the end.. everything is much okay.. people say I look good that day.. don't know is out of politeness or real.. of course they say the truth lah.. but I think my make up and hairdo makes me look mature or should I say old.. becos nixon said I look like his mother.. so sad..
that day I also have to go on stage to a give a short thank you speech for and give out the prize to ying yan.. and also dance with the other MCs.. very frightening lor.. people say I sound weird talking on stage.. like going to cry like that.. if I really want to cry.. is not becos I am stepping down liao.. but becos I have stage fright.. don't know why I feel so scare on stage.. dancing was better with many people together with me.. still okay.. but speaking on stage, I still cannot make it.. don't know why.. food that night was not bad.. we are vip so food was served to us.. haha.. so good.. that night was also the pageant final..yeah.. something I really look forward.. I really hope both jas ad sky will win again.. sky got bb people and jun cong they all support him so no need to worry and he really got the height and style mah.. so no need to worry.. and he won.. he thank me for getting the hesitant og people down to dnd but I did not help much lor.. they want to go also.. becos they really want to support him and they are hesitant at first is becos they don't know who will be going.. if they know the seniors and the others going, they will go de.. I did not do much.. that night.. bb really formed "the sky's fan club", cheering so loud and even take cards with sky word on them.. haha.. but for jas.. seems like she not so lucky.. her competitors are so strong.. F3 in her good form and performing well that night.. and seems so popular so she got it.. quite sad for jas.. not disappointment.. as she has done her best.. just her luck and some other factors.. still proud of her.. at least she still get to enter pageant and won something..
After dnd.. went to mac with bb.. I feel that bb freahies are really energetic.. can stay very late then go home.. heard they after bash that night still go and watch movies.. impressed by them..
After looking at photos, I feel I still look better when I am my normal self leh.. maybe I should try to look better in photos next time..
