No Brainer

Demise of this site

2008-11-12T10:50:00.002+08:00

Keeping an online diary to attract attention and hope for a reaction from people who read it?

No point in penning my thoughts in public. N I feel sick always writing posts with about the same contents.

The demise of this site begins...

About a Girl

2008-11-11T21:57:00.003+08:00

I love this song! Chanced upon it on radio one day and fell in love with it STRAIGHTAWAY! It took me so long to finally find it. I never post lyrics, but I shall post this one....

By The Academy Is:

One song about a girl
I can't breathe when I'm around her
I'll wait here everyday
In case she'll scratch the surface
She'll never notice

I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl

Last night I knew what to say
But you weren't there to hear it
These lines so well rehearsed
Tongue tied and overloaded
You never notice

I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl

I'm not in love
This is not your song
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl
To be loved, to be loved
What more could you ask for
To be loved, to be loved
Everyone wants
To be loved, to be loved
What more could you ask for

To be loved, to be loved
Everyone... I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words
I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girlI'm not in love
This is not your song
I'm not gonna waste these words
About a girl

Weird ending

2008-11-08T21:38:00.002+08:00

What a weird ending! Not the ending that I wanted. Where is Ah Sam? So funny.

But finally it ended, which means, nothing for me to look forward to every weekend.

P.S: Time for a change

2 months

2008-11-03T21:13:00.002+08:00

Why does time fly so fast? I think I would miss my internship. Although it's damn damn tiring. I would miss the lunch hours with colleagues, my sup (even though I'm always v serious when I'm talking to her), scrapping the adhesive, FTIR (esp the time when I had 50 over pans!), blasting the music in the lab, sms-ing Alan rubbish when sian. Ha!

But I should really learn how to talk more, open my eyes bigger, talk to the big shots and be more approachable.

2 months....

I wonder

2008-10-28T19:41:00.002+08:00

This shit face has been plaguing me for so long - main reason for the lack of confidence in me!

I wonder when. I wonder......

Daydreaming!

2008-10-27T10:09:00.002+08:00

I'm daydreaming every single second about the show, "Relentless Justice"!!!!

I can't wait for the weekends to come to find out what would happen to Hui Huang! I want to watch it online but can't find!!!

2/3 of my long weekend

2008-10-26T17:24:00.001+08:00

In the end, I did not finish what I set out to do - to complete C2.

I still might if I put in more effort for the rest of the night

Saturday - Came and gone

2008-10-25T23:01:00.001+08:00

There goes 1/3 of of my long weekends. HaiZ......

It's the weekends!

2008-10-24T19:10:00.002+08:00

Play time!

Or rather, "Play time"

Facebook-ing, msn-ing, wasting time

2008-10-23T12:05:00.002+08:00

OMG~! Why do these time-wasting stuff exist?

I hate myself for doing all those mindless stuff which can only retard my mind even further. Blogging is a culprit too!

But I just feel so energetic doing these no-brainer things online, especially when I got tired of studying that shit module. To do these after studying is healthy for the mind. But I always spend so long on these and I couldn't help it - feels so guilty.

What should my password be?

2008-10-21T23:38:00.001+08:00

My nusnet password would be expiring soon. Cracking my mind again......

Run

2008-10-20T21:15:00.004+08:00

The run in the evening was pretty fantastic. I didn't feel numb in my ankle which I normally would when I run continuously for more than 30min. Maybe it was because of the intensive warm-up which I put extra effort in or the Pro-moderator of the Supernova.

I kept telling myself, "VIVO City and I'll be halfway through. A little bit more!" I persevered and finally finished the run in about 50min.

But my standard is not yet conditioned to run a full marathon yet! 50min is nothing compared to about 4 hrs of continuous running.

I'm relishing the challenge. Need more running sessions......V v tired now. Tomorrow will be the same routine again. Sick.

Windsurfing

2008-10-19T17:11:00.005+08:00

The wind was so strong today. Those experts were zipping away like crazy while those people like me, were struggling to even hold the sail up! The wind was just too strong for anything.

"USE YOUR LEG MUSCLES," my mind told me. But even with the help of my leg muscles, I was struggling to bring the sail up. At the end of the session, my heart was panting like crazy and my palm filled with blisters.

It was really shiok when there was mild wind. When the wind suddenly picked up speed, I would always be unbalanced and fall into the water. And the mad struggle of pulling up the sail began. It also didn't help that the strap of my slippers came off and I had to surf barefooted. My feet had no grip with the surfboard and when I was halfway up in pulling up the sail, I slipped and fell into the water. Needless to say, I did the cycle of pulling up the sail yet again.

But I managed to put a successful "run" today. The trick was to pull up the dagger board! I didn't know it until today! The guy on the speedboat was shouting, "PULL UP THE DAGGER BOARD! YES! HOLD THE BOOM! STEP BACK! ALL THE WAY BACK! POWER UP!!" Then off I went....

I can't let the wind control me. I want to be able to control the sail in all wind conditions.

Relentless Justice

2008-10-19T09:54:00.002+08:00

It can be quite draggy at times, but I really love on the Channel 8 lawyer show which is shown every weekend at 7pm. Hooked!

So childish

2008-10-17T22:30:00.002+08:00

I have been so childish about the magical 4-letter word. No wonder I'm still at this state.

N my face still can't be healed properly. Going for facial would be the answer, but......

Why is there always a BUT?

Quote of the night

2008-10-14T21:21:00.002+08:00

"All I have is my mind, and nobody can see that."

Upset

2008-10-13T22:08:00.001+08:00

So pk did not study yet again. Happy. As time ticks away, even happier...

A beautiful Sunday made for studying

2008-10-12T11:51:00.005+08:00

It's really a Sunday made for studying. There are no windsurfing sessions today. But I couldn't really force myself to open up my lecture notes and study that shit.

Imagining my peers do that, especially those CAP 5s, makes me sick. Why should studying be such a chore? I want to study because I want to, not because I'm forced to - forced to catch up with those CAP 5s.

Okay, this shit is actually quite an intersting shit. Just bear with it and I'll be okay......

Hopefully...

Oh my!

2008-10-10T16:02:00.003+08:00

Life is really getting tougher. Singapore has slipped into recession and the economy would only get worse. The final year exams for sec schs has ended which means there wouldn't be tuition assignments at least for the next 2 months. How am I going to find $ during festive season which in coming up?

The nightmare has begun - the final exam for the drugs module is coming and the IA Report is due too.

Oh my!

Money~!

2008-10-03T00:49:00.003+08:00

It's so hard carving out a living now. The bus fare has increased - $0.71 for a feeder bus service. The electricity bill will increase next month. Ministers' pay too, but not my parents' and mine.

I know it's easy to blame the ministers for this, when they couldn't even do anything about inflation, which is happening around the world. This brings us to the question - why are we paying them so much since they couldn't do anything about the rising cost of living?

Okay, the argument goes like this: We need to attract talented people to run the country. If we do not pay these ministers and have Chee Soon Juan and Co. running the government instead, we would be worse off than now. Yada yada yada and all those shit, WHICH IS SADLY TRUE!

How long more would I lead such a life? How long?

It ended...finally...

2008-10-02T23:45:00.003+08:00

Now I am more aware of what the 4 letter word means.

It requires no words, just silence. A magical silence.

Ha! But not the kind of silence I always have. That's the DAO kind of silence, which is a 3 letter word. Sad case......

OMG-ending soon!

2008-10-01T22:15:00.003+08:00

I'm about to finish reading "Where rainbows end". I DON'T WANT IT TO END SO SOON!

So didn't manage to study today as I was too sick - not literally sick. I'm just sick of studying this "pro drugs, soft drugs, n whatever. So what did I do? Hai. Reading "Where rainbows end"....wth right...

But I manage to run today! Although my stamina was evidently weakening, at least the run gets my momentum going for Stan Chart.

Hai. I can't help sighing as this shit module is really troubling me. N I'm not studying as I used to. NOT THAT I DON'T WANT TO! N I'm sick of complaining too as it doesn't help anything!

Shocked

2008-09-30T13:21:00.003+08:00

Was v v v shocked by the news that Singapore's opposition leader, Mr Jeyaratnam, has passed away from heart attack this morning. He was 82 years old.

I spotted him with his grandson at a bookstore at Tanglin Shopping Centre some time back. He was seen talking to the bookstore owner, supposedly about a book that he wrote. He seemed a friendly and likable person. I tried to stay close to him to eavesdrop about the conversation but couldn't really make out what they were discussing about.

Sad...

Now, what would happen to Reform Party which he recently set up? I admire all the opposition leaders in Singapore even though they are fighting a losing battle against the PAP.

One thing to note: I AM PRO-PAP. (JUST IN CASE SOMETHING BAD HAPPEN TO ME)

Tough, real tough

2008-09-29T23:40:00.002+08:00

The module is really getting on my nerves.

F1 Singapore Grand Prix

2008-09-29T09:09:00.003+08:00

The first ever Singapore night race has come and gone. So what's so interesting about the F1 race? Is it the cute Lewis Hamilton or the grid girls? I couldn't understand and appreciate at first - Cars are just going around in circles and so what if they manage to overtake each other? So I only watched a little bit of it and tuned to other channels.

But after reading the post-race reports, I could appreciate it a little and regretted not staying on channel 5 to watch the whole race. The drama would unfold as the race goes on. There was also a schoolboy error in that Felipe Massa's car was still attached with the fuel hose when he moved out from the pit lane. He started the race as 1st and ended up 13th. It is a little bit like football in that the beginning wouldn't be exciting.

So, Fernando Alonso 1st, followed by Nico Rosberg, followed by Lewis Hamilton. God knows who they are.

The Singapore government made history, by staging the 1st ever F1 night race in Singapore and made more Singaporeans, including myself, a little bit more aware that there is a sport called motor racing other than football.

More F1 race on Starsports for me I suppose.

Hello-panda

2008-09-28T09:16:00.002+08:00

Is Hello panda tainted with Melamine?

I bought 2 boxes at NTUC fairprice $at 4.95 each on Friday as I thought I would need them to accompany me for CM3268. And the next morning, Alan told me that it is tainted with Melamine and it is in the news.

I do not know how true the news is as it is not mentioned in the AVA website as the banned list of items. I have also tried searching online for the news and latest list of banned items but couldn't find hello-panda on the list.

Sometimes Alan couldn't be trusted much. I need to read the news myself to believe that the news is true.

Meanwhile, don't care, just eat?

Sunshine boy

2008-09-28T08:47:00.006+08:00

Went for DB session yesterday morning and followed by beach Volleyball at Sentosa in the afternoon.

I was quite sick of volleyball after a while as we kept miss-hitting the ball and the ball kept flying all directions other than the directions we intended to hit to. Seeing others play volleyball so well made me jealous. I also tend to use my legs and head to hit the ball over to the other side and this led to jeering from team-mates, especially Alan, as they thought that I was showboating.

But it is my instinct to hit the ball with my head when the ball is high up as I got no time to think and stretch out my hand to belay the ball. Volleyball is difficult in that we either snatch with each other to hit the ball ball, or hesitate to hit and end up losing the point.

More practice sessions needed if I really want to play well.

Ill-discipline shit

2008-09-26T01:08:00.002+08:00

Why don't I have discipline? I was supposed to complete that chapter tonight. In the end?

RUN PLEASE!

2008-09-25T17:03:00.003+08:00

It has been a long long long time since I ran! Oh my!

Stan Chart is only a few days left!!!!!

Run!

Maybe tomorrow......Maybe

2008-09-24T12:28:00.001+08:00

Knew that it is highly impossible. If that's the case, why still harp on the past?

Studied

2008-09-20T18:55:00.003+08:00

Yes, I studied. But so what? Am I on the right track? Do I really understand what's going on?

I finally had my afternoon nap after so so long! Shiok. It's always the case at work - 2pm and I'm dead tired.

PS: Better in time......for everything in my life

Running apparels

2008-09-19T22:14:00.003+08:00

Went over to Adidas concept store in Handy Road to check out thier running apparels yesterday. They are so ex! 75 bucks for a singlet and another 75 for a running shorts? This is crazy.

Didn't buy any as the person said new stocks would come in either tomorrow or next week. Eagerly waiting...

Oh, I found "Where rainbows end" at "The Commercial Press" in The Cathay.

At least I have something to look forward to after a day's work and study.

Like other posts, I need to remind myself to study. Yap Peng Koon, please study!

Quote of the day:

2008-09-17T23:15:00.000+08:00

"You don't love a woman because she is beautiful. She is beautiful because you love her."

F & N Tonic Drink

2008-09-16T23:14:00.003+08:00

I drank it during lunch time and it tastes so bitter!

Monday has come and gone

2008-09-15T23:18:00.002+08:00

Hai...have been studying tonight. Ppl are complaining to me about the stupid module. I'm complaining to other people as well.

But the bottom line is, why is a CAP 5 complaining?

The exam would be here in no time. Wake up please. But I hate it. I really hate it.

English as it is broken 2

2008-09-12T10:00:00.004+08:00

Bought a new book from Kinokuniya:

I am looking for the lovey-dovey book, "Where rainbows end" by Cecelia Ahern. But seems like it's not sold in SG yet.

Narrow escape

2008-09-11T09:09:00.005+08:00

Nearly got hit by a car at the zebra crossing while running last night. Why are drivers always in a rush? Myself included.

Ran for like 1 and a half hours to NUS and back. I slowly gained momentum as I approached the half hour mark. My supernova sequence 7 with the pro-moderator for my over-pronation is superb so far. I feel less pain on my ankle when I run. It is the most comfy shoe I've ever worn and worth every cent I pay ($127).

88.3fm

2008-09-10T11:38:00.007+08:00

I have been listening to 88.3fm lately.

Listening to the trailer for 88.3fm "你的音乐，你的电台 883JIA fm" makes me think of those times when I was driving the Nissan around aimlessly.

Songs that I instantly fall in love with:
蒲公英的约定 by 周杰伦
泪海 by 许茹芸
期待愛 by 林俊傑＆金莎
我很想爱他 by Twins
T-shirt by Shontelle
A moment like this by Leona Lewis

Playing those songs in lab the whole day as well~!

PS: feel like running through the Southern Ridges one of these days. But firstly, I'm don't think I'm fit enough to complete the 9km x 2 journey. 2nd-ly, friends wouldn't be free to run with me. Hai. Is it so difficult to find a friend these days?

Alone bah...Saturday morning, bright and shine...

BPL weekend

2008-09-09T23:00:00.002+08:00

I'm really looking forward to the weekends. Not only there would be dragonboat and windsurfing sessions for me, there would be exciting BPL matches as well!

Back to back matches!!:
Liverpool vs Man Utd 12:45UK
Blackburn vs Arsenal 15:00UK
Man City vs Chelsea 17:30UK

However exciting those matches are, I would most likely fall asleep during the Chelsea game as they play so late.

Okay, then what about studying that drugs module? Yap Peng Koon, please study in the weekdays so that you can enjoy during the weekends.

Tired at work

2008-09-08T21:25:00.003+08:00

Was so tired at work today. It must have been the weekend dragonboat and windsurfing sessions. How I hope I can do these full time rather than going to work. Looking forward to more surfing sessions this weekend.

Taken at East Coast Park:

Time flies

2008-09-06T12:09:00.006+08:00

My 9th week at 3M has come and gone.

Time really flies. I was at D n D last week. Then suddenly 1 week has passed over and it's the weekends again. The Drugs module is really like another Fundamentals of Biochem. Proteins structure, DNA, ribosomes, blah blah blah, ya da ya da ya da....

1 month anniversary

2008-08-01T00:18:00.002+08:00

Today marks my 1 month anniversary at 3M.

2008-07-31T22:16:00.000+08:00

A pile of clothes, waiting for me to fold

Work

2008-07-17T23:24:00.004+08:00

Time passes so fast at work. Ran some samples and suddenly it was lunctime. Listened to some explanations on the spectra and suddenly it was time to knock off.

Lunch is boring. So lonely at lunchtime, so lonely at work, so lonely after work.

More spectra for me tomorrow...using alot of my brain juice remembering those peaks and deciphering the compounds...

Better in time - Leona Lewis

2008-07-08T22:47:00.004+08:00

Chatted with P and C.

Both haven't turned 21 yet, but have seen so much in their life. Thier studies are way in front of me as well, not elites, but at least above average. Last sem was my worst, still quite disappointed about it. But what I admire most is their way of dealing with things...

Drank beer when I got back home. It is the 1st time I drank beer ever since I came back from Europe. Then my uncle looked abit shocked that I requested for beer. The dizzy feeling is nice, felt good after drinking- 5.5% alc.

Remembering my goals......

Orientation

2008-07-02T21:28:00.004+08:00

The camp was great. Did alot of sai kang running here and there but I enjoyed driving the lorry and pick-up around. Never would I have this chance again. I am quite familiar with Changi now.

My attached OG was so sweet. They gave me a card and a photo frame even though I only interacted with them in the 1st day.

A packed July ahead......

Germany, Austria and Luxembourg

2008-06-23T04:37:00.007+08:00

Finally concluded my Europe trip last Friday. It was unforgettable. The company was great. Our group cliqued quite well. I reckon it could be due to the fact that we are all chinese speaking and have at least 2 siblings in our family. Moreover, we all like shopping and taking photos, sick about historic museums, hated the industrial tours when it is BIOLOGY related and irritated by the unfriendly German language.

The heart-to-heart talk at Ramada hotel was great.

Spent my 23rd bday there as well and they treated me to a simple lunch.

Watched Euro 2008 there with the German fans and they were crazy.

Drank beer everyday......I guess I am addicted to it already...

The only regret I have is that I should have extended my trip to fulfil my dream, that is to go to the Theatre of Dreams. It is so near yet so far.

Meanwhile, I will try to put up a blog on the trip when I got all the photos and when there is time...

PS: Suffering from severe jet-lag. Hope SCAMP08 would tune back my biological clock.

Pea Kay in Munich

2008-06-03T05:10:00.002+08:00

Ha! It has been good so far. Very very scared about my presentation though. The things that I wanted to say seems to have no substance.

The castles here are so big!

Nothing's new

2008-05-31T04:07:00.002+08:00

It is always the case. Everyone around me seems to be cleverer and better than me. I hate comparing with others - They can do it, why can't I?

But I know that the best competitor is still myself. I deserve those grades as I did not study hard at all. After so many sems of studying, I still do not know how to manage my time well. I am still as ill-disciplined as ever, if not more.

I always said that I wanted to forget the current sem and work harder in the next one. But did I work hard?

To be fair, there is really nothing much I can do now but to regret and reflect on my previous sems.

I regret last sem the most. Really, nothing but regret.

Packing day......Not going online

2008-05-29T01:50:00.001+08:00

Pea Kay's in deep shit. Haven't packed!

SMO invigilation

2008-05-28T22:12:00.001+08:00

So luan in the morning! Those walk-ins were real headache.

Invigilation 1st in the morning. Quite an experience though.

After which, we needed to collect the SMO OAS forms from the various schools assigned to us. I was fortunate to swap with Alan and managed to go back to my alma mater. I couldn't get to see my previous form teacher coz she had gone back home. The general office admin staff were so friendly to me when I told them I was from CCHS.

I remember learning how to throw the javelin at the backyard near the general office. Passed by the swimming pool as well and I remember walking over there in twos with my classmates during PE lessons. Many others......the lake, the street soccer court, the bball court, the old building, etc.

Time flies.

25th Annivesary celebrations

2008-05-27T23:32:00.000+08:00

Helped out at the CC at the youth night. Nothing special though. The highlight was when the superstars came out to belt out 2 songs each. I am not fans of them - didn't even know who Wu Jia Hui was until last week! Keely is cute, but who cares?

Red face

2008-05-25T15:32:00.001+08:00

Brought sunscreen but didn't use? Stupid or what?

Okay. Pretty stupid. Be cleverer nxt time.

Windsurfing Saturday

2008-05-24T21:19:00.001+08:00

I CAN FINALLY SAIL PROPERLY!

HA! VERY HAPPY! I CAN IMPROVE THOUGH....

More windsurf sessions ahead......

Fitness test

2008-05-22T23:59:00.000+08:00

Went back camp to take my annual fitness test. The people at the guard house were stupid, as usual. They wanted me to tuck in my shirt and change my sandals to shoes. Big wayang again as these so called standards aren't the same for everyone.

The new technology used made the test faster. This is the only thing commendable.

I got a silver.

Take a bow by Rihanna

2008-05-20T23:21:00.002+08:00

I love this "guai lan" song. The lyrics is so real......

Okay, not quite, but close......

Bday celebration came early for me

2008-05-19T23:30:00.003+08:00

Ha! Exactly 1 month early. My chinese bday perhaps? So old already.

Simple yet sweet. Appreciated the efforts put in.

****

2008-05-16T21:20:00.003+08:00

Certain things can't be blogged and can't really be explained as well, which is sad. Sick of it already. How long more do I need?

Run

2008-05-13T18:59:00.002+08:00

My legs lasted 40mins without going numb. It has been an achievement. My hard work has paid off. I can afford a 3 days break from running.

Newton Circus

2008-05-12T23:59:00.000+08:00

We went Newton Circus. The roundabout near Newton is so complicated. Or rather, I was so blur and my driving skills lousy. I nearly got into a crash and I hate driving at roundabouts.

I made other blunders as well - sux. It seems like there are nothing but blunders these days. I must stop feeling like like this soon as the "law of attraction" is scary

The stingray there is so ex! Ha, but we had fun eating n chatting.

Pon, Alan and me - The gays

ECP

2008-05-11T20:17:00.003+08:00

I ran to ECP. Everytime when I run long distances, my feet would go numb. I don't know if it is my stride that causes it or if it is a sign that I have to train more to run longer.

Counting down to Sheares Bridge run on 24th Aug......

Farewell to Loke

2008-05-10T22:47:00.003+08:00

We had a Japanese lunch at Suntec with Xiu Qing and I spent $15. This is the 2nd time I ate Sushi and I am getting in love with it. Suntec has changed alot since don't know when. I don't know what I've been doing or which part of the world I was for the last 14 or so weeks - neither concentrating on studies nor going out to play.

Gloria Jeans followed and we chilled out there and enjoyed the $2 coffee. My Choc Macademia Latte was superb. Alan said that he would never say "I love you" or "thank you" to his gf. We had a great laugh after that.

Later, Lily, Alan and I went to Velocity at Novena while XQ went back to pack her bag. Velocity was pretty much an over-hyped up place as I couldn't find much sports stuff. I wanted to buy a new running singlet but all the designs were so old and ugly. The Adidas shop is the worst as they didn't even sell running singlets. I thought Queensway or any other places were better.

After that, we went Changi to give XQ a pleasant surprise. We scared her from behind while she was checking in. Ha! We bid goodbye and went our separate ways.

Europe...1st June...

MOS

2008-05-09T20:26:00.002+08:00

In the end, I did not go MOS and I am regretting it now. They must have had so much fun and have forgotten their miseries.

But it is good as well as I ran in the morning and read a book in the afternoon.

A day has passed so quickly......

Cycling at PU

2008-05-07T18:46:00.002+08:00

PU's cycling trip was fun. It is only my 2nd time cycling there and it has changed quite a lot since. We visited the Chek Jawa broadwalk but couldn't spot any organisms there since it was high tide.

Very tired now as it has been so long since I've worked my tired legs.

PS: Miscommunication sux. It kind of spoilt my day as I felt lousy, even now. I vow to read properly next time as this sentence will be etched in my mind forever: "Do you know the consequence of not reading properly during exam or even during work?"

Exams ended, but so what?

2008-05-06T22:17:00.003+08:00

For the past sems, I know that I've worked hard. For this sem, I don't think I deserve a long break. This morning's paper is not a killer, but I can't do. I only have myself to blame for not spending time fruitfully.

CAP pulling will begin real soon. In the meantime, I will do some soul-searching while I wait for the results.

Exams coming to an end

2008-05-02T17:41:00.001+08:00

So much plans for my post exam fun! Looking forward to it!

Exams

2008-04-23T19:58:00.003+08:00

Preparing for this exam sucks.

It is mainly distractions. I regret not concentrating hard enough, even now, when the time is near. I am really disappointed with myself.

PS: I love Tiger Energy Biscuits!

Beautiful Sunday

2008-04-20T21:59:00.002+08:00

As usual, my beautiful Sunday was spent sleeping and catching up with my sleep debt. Studies have been put aside.

Everyone else is working so hard for the exams except me. I don't deserve a 3 months break.

Fate or retribution?

2008-04-19T23:59:00.000+08:00

Is it fate? Or is it retribution?

3M Singapore Pte Ltd

2008-04-17T20:11:00.003+08:00

So I am accepted there despite initially thought that I would be rejected. I would like to thank them for giving me this chance since I know their 1st impression of me wasn't that good.

I promise I wouldn't disappoint.

Lousy

2008-04-16T22:33:00.001+08:00

I got rejected - Again.

My forte

2008-04-13T01:17:00.001+08:00

Wasting time

Sign of 'seh-ness'

2008-04-10T21:22:00.002+08:00

I went NTUC to buy a conditioner which costs $8.50. I gave the cashier $10 and when the cashier returned me $1.50 change, I shot back, "eh. I gave you 10 dollar leh. Why I only got back 1.50"

I apologised and walked away hurriedly back home to study.

I am always studying but not concentrating enough. F.

GC

2008-04-08T22:05:00.001+08:00

GC today was boring. And there were so much data to compute!

And I don't know how to quarrel with people, so kena bullied.

Fruity Monday

2008-04-07T18:40:00.002+08:00

Morning - Plum
Afternoon - Mango Orange juice and Rockmelon milkshake
Night - Apple

The apple is exceptionally sweet and The Deck's Rockmelon milkshake is so much nicer than the Mango Orange at Frontier - Drink till sian already.

Running. Again.

2008-04-06T23:50:00.002+08:00

I ran to Lab Park and back to Tiong Bahru market for dinner. Approximate distance ran: 8km

We still can't really spot any organisms at Lab park.

Pre-exam fun?

2008-04-05T12:23:00.006+08:00

Normally, at this time of the semester, I would be mugging hard for the finals. Not so now.

We went geylang in the middle of the night to have some fun! Not those kind of fun you are thinking.

How fast time have passed. The last time we went there, it was only week -1. Now, it is week......

Concentrate and study Peakay.

Losing things

2008-04-04T23:59:00.000+08:00

I keep losing things these days.

Phy Chem Lab manual - never to be found.
Facial foam - gone, must have left it in toilet.
Alan's bday card - lost in the library.

Photocopied lab manual - lost initially but found.

How to replace Alan's bday card???!!!! I got myself in deep shit.

Sux

2008-04-03T23:59:00.000+08:00

Studied so hard today but I don't think I concentrated enough. Trying to fool myself that it would be a better day tomorrow.

I wish i wish

2008-04-02T18:35:00.002+08:00

I wish I could be cleverer.

Monday Blues

2008-03-31T19:44:00.002+08:00

Monday and I am feeling the blues again. Other than the run in the morning which I felt good, the lectures were boring. I had a break in the afternoon and was so tired so I slept in the library. CM in the evening was, as usual, sucky. Wth, don't know what he is talking about.

The scary thing is, Friday will come pretty soon.

Youthout 08

2008-03-30T14:09:00.002+08:00

Youthout 08 was a success. I was the "bouncer" for the day, tagging the wrists of those people who entered the premises and ensuring those who re-entered had tags with them. Some ah tiongs wanted to enter the area without paying but they couldn't escape my vigilant eyes. Some walked in confidently, hoping that I wouldn't notice.

After initially having difficulty in tagging, I became an expert doing it: tear, wrap, and off the person goes.

The bands were impressive but I don't like noisy bands. They were just shouting some 'ang moh' lyrics which I couldn't understand, with noises from their drums and electric guitar drowning their voices. The dances were not really energetic as well. The only performance that impressed me was the percussion band, Baracuda Batucada, from Ngee Ann Poly. It was a really energetic and good performance which left the audience grooving to the beat.

PS: Week 11

Fruity Friday

2008-03-28T13:23:00.003+08:00

I ate alot of fruits these days and today is the ultimate.

An apple in the morning, mango-orange juice after class, 1 banana and a papaya after lunch. For dinner, I'll have......

I will contitnue to eat fruits, fruits and more fruits!

SS essay

2008-03-27T22:33:00.002+08:00

The SS essay was okay, just that I think my points were too trivial and were not up to standard. At least I rushed out something. Thanks to sJ again for discussing an outline with me and writing a 'mock essay' the day before. But sad for her as well......

PS: My handwriting still sucks. Improving in progress......

Essay writing

2008-03-26T23:59:00.002+08:00

It has been a long time since I craft an essay outline. It was a challenging task!

Hope we'll do well for our SS essay test tomorrow!

Tired day

2008-03-25T21:16:00.002+08:00

Really shag day today. Had lab the whole day and headed st8 to bed soon after reaching home. Had headache after having sleepless nights for 2 days.

TEST COMING UP AND 2 LAB REPORTS TO BE DONE THIS WEEK!

Boring Monday

2008-03-24T20:21:00.003+08:00

It is the same old Monday which I had every week. Nothing special except during Ana chem where we kept making fools of ourselves. This module is seriously gone shit.

Tues and the cycle begins again. 8am lecture in the morning and lab thereafter. Why do I lead such a life?

Looking forward to Youthout this Sat. It's been a long time since I was involved with grassroots. Guilty.

Have better time management and be more disciplined please, Pea Kay.

Beautiful Sunday

2008-03-23T15:40:00.004+08:00

Appreciating Physical Chem slowly. Too slowly perhaps.

My dedication on 987fm got read out yesterday at 8.30pm! Just before 8.30pm, I was just planning to switch the damn radio off so that I can concentrate on my studies. When I was about to switch it off, the Deejay Sarah read out my dedication and played my song, Chasing Pavements by Adele.

Back to Physical Chem......

Jogging

2008-03-22T10:41:00.007+08:00

It has been a long time since I ran such a long distance. But the only thing is, it is not a continuous run. I stopped at the traffic lights while on my way to SJ's place. My legs went numb nearing Labrador but I continued jogging nonetheless. We rested a while at Labrador and SJ told me about her bowling stories the day before. Never-ending stories with her around.

We reached the intertidal area at 8.15am and it is quite a pity that we couldn't play with the organisms at the seashore even though it is low tide as the gate would only be opened at 9am. The area is still being monitored by the Home Team and 'those in Green' for Mas Selamat.

This Mas Selamat episode is getting farcical. I really sympathise with those people doing guard duty at the jetty and everywhere else around Singapore. They had so much sleepless nights in vain while those stupid high-ranking ass only need to pass down commands and sleep at home.

Phy Chem test on Mon, then SS essay test on Thurs. Many things to do, yet not concentrating hard enough. It is Polymer Chem which I worry most about.

PS: Some "trivia"......

Picture of my bed:

Picture of my messy table while studying the stupid TCS's module:

Week 10 already, study hard Pea Kay.

Rejected

2008-03-21T10:30:00.003+08:00

I am not accepted at SCR. Hai...No companies want me, because of the way I carry myself?

This is a cruel world. Results and good looks, counts, ALOT. I lead quite a sad life. My ugly handwriting is 'bestest' gift HE has given me, not forgetting other things which are ugly.

Pon said, "just be happy." But how?

Must CHANGE for the better.

UCLA briefing

2008-03-18T20:08:00.004+08:00

We shared our experience at LA with the new batch of students going there this June yestereday. It was fun and I felt good answering their questions. I realise out that I still couldn't speak well. I need more practice!

PS: I just found out the english translation of the full house song, "I think I." I was totally... ...

TiAmo

2008-03-17T19:49:00.002+08:00

In love with the song the moment I heard it while on my way to the market last Sat. Thanks Ivan, who sent me the mp3 yesterday, I have it on my mp3 player already.

I hate Polymer Chemistry but studying it suddenly seems so fun with this song accompanying me.

Studying at Bedok

2008-03-16T01:26:00.001+08:00

I really can't hit the books when I am at home. I am very angry with myself.

Interview at Catalyst Recovery Singapore

2008-03-15T14:56:00.006+08:00

The interview went fine, just that I think that I could speak more fluently and with more confidence. I also need to practise how to describe myself better. The place looks quite boring and and the interviewer said that I would spend my whole 6 months in the lab other than my lunch breaks.

How saddening would that be? I'll leave it to fate on whether I would get accepted there.

25th bday at VillaBali

2008-03-14T02:41:00.006+08:00

Villa Bali's atmosphere was good, just that we had some bad and slow service from the waitresses. We got to wait for 30min for the card to be swiped and the bill to be processed! They drank cocktail and I drank a mocktail called Bali Dreamer, as I got to drive. We ate potato wedges as well.

We sang SJ a birthday song at 12midnight and wished her again! A 25th bday celebration to remember for her and us.

I have a stupid smile. A 23-yr-old learning to smile nicely. Pictures to follow:

From left: Bali Dreamer, Bali Cooler, Mr. Green

My stupid smile with my new haircut at 2-way holistic that day. Too bad the background is dark.

25th Birthday Celebration

2008-03-12T11:59:00.001+08:00

We celebrated SJ's 25th birthday at Dian Xiao Er, Vivo City. The food there is just home cooked food which my mum can cook, nothing special but nice after not having eaten 'non-science-canteen food' for so long.

After which, we went Haagen Dazs and that was my 1st time at there. I didn't know that the chocolate can solidify. Stupid right. This was the fondue that we ate:

Had a great time with the "mystery guest" thing. Hope she likes her 25th bday celebration and presents.

Sad...I am turning 25 soon as well.

My room

2008-03-09T19:33:00.006+08:00

My room is in a huge mess.

Plastic bags, newspapers, lecture notes all over the place. Thers is also a dead butterfly beside my cookie jar. I think it got entangled by the printer wires.

Rest in peace......

Suddenly, it's dinner time

2008-03-08T18:52:00.001+08:00

I slept whole day. I had lots of sleep debt accumulated from the weekdays.

I want to scream as I haven't done anything!

Weekends!

2008-03-07T11:06:00.002+08:00

It is the weekends and I loathe it even though I will get to spend my time at home. Most of the time, I would be lonely with the boring lecture notes and will slack, sleep and not spend my time fruitfully.

Time management please!

"Won't go home without you"

2008-03-06T21:00:00.003+08:00

I really love Maroon5's new song, "Won't go home without you." Its tunes are so catchy.

A test was just over and there are more to come. 8 more weeks and my misery will end. 8 more only.
