Below: Its really boring slacking in one corner. But being paid to slack... cool...

Today's the first day at work at Teck Wah. A company that manufacture and package software. I was posted to department that produces Norton Anti-Virus 2008 Edition software. Talk about coincidence... There, I met 2 chaps by the name of Christopher and "Uncle" (he wants me to address him that way. Real name is Mr Ng). Both of them taught me much of the departments runnings and explained my job scope to me. Thank god both of them are cheerful and super-friendly...

And thank my luck stars that I am posted to this department that is literally SLACK! All I did was running errands and that is about all for the time being. I estimated, I spent about 60%.. maybe 70% of the time stone'ing in the air-conditioned office! There was this temp staff that came after me, and he was posted to the loading/unloading bay! Poor bastard will surely sweat because there is no air-conditioner there.

The payout is like this: A total of $45 from 7.30am to 5.30pm (regular working hours). After that it's OT at $7 an hour. For Saturdays, each working hour is worth $7 and for Sundays, each working hour is at a whooping $9! I get paid to partially slack! Now, that is not a bad deal.

I have tried to pull my buddies Earns and JianLiang to my department. Hope it happens next week.

Freaking heavy rain today! Seems like it has never really rained in weeks and suddenly the heavens unleashed this massive downpour! The drains were gutted and filled to the brim, water was soaking up the carparks and even close to entering the shophouses behind my house!

I was on my way to Boon Lay then. After a slow MRT ride, I met up with JianLiang and Earns as we went for the job application. We reached the destination, which seems to be a minivan parked along the side of the road. It had a sign that reads "China, Myanmar, Thai Nationals Welcome". God! Do we look like PRCs, Laotians or KoKrumKrappers? Anyway, we just grabbed the application forms and filled it in. We were told that this job was wrapping and packing books. And its from 7pm to 7am. Good. I think I should be able to handle that as I already had some experience in Tian Wah. Hope the boss can call ASAP, I want to earn $$$!

Finally, the Sessional Exams are over and I can sit back and relax already. I could only remember all the days when I made my way to Pasir Ris, Orchard, Yishun and Woodlands to study. Also, all the night's of mugging... I hope all of that was worth it.

Now its the start of the month-long holidays. I feel playing maplestory and get my hermit to level 120. Yet, on the other hand, I feel like working. Earns had a job to intro me and I guess I'll most likely take that offer. At least, working with a friend beats working alone.

Can't wait to see whats on store for me this holiday!

Cool Shit in Orchard!

Below: Porsche Boxster

These 2 supercars were spotted just outside Hilton Hotel at Orchard Rd. One's a lime-green Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. The other it's a Porsche Boxster (Thanks, Feng for helping me ID). What a sight to behold... supercars...

Maths Revision...

Freak.... Fourier Series is really a killer. Chapter 6, defining which periodic function is odd, even and odd+constant is hard. I just used "agak-ration" and glance through that topic. Chapter 7, is the one that I have been trying ALL DAY to figure out; "Fourier Series in Trigonometric Form". It encompasses Chapter 6 (damn...) I still got Chapters 8, 9, 10 and 11 (All Fourier Series!) to go... and I just 50%/50% figured out chapter 7 only. There are a couple of formulas that need memorization as I do not know how to derive it.

Regret man; should have paid attention to the lectures and done the tutorials. Else I wouldn't be struggling like shit now. I want and "A", but deep down inside I harbour thoughts of getting that distinction... I really wanna bash that smart ass Joel (PUI!!) upside-down in maths and if possible pip Jun Yi (respect here...). I was almost perfect for the MST and was 50% there already... but why must I Lao-Kui now? Seems like the ya-ya-pa-pa-ya syndrome kicked in after the MST1 and it happened too, last year's MST2. This made my End of year MathsI paper chui...

Ok, now that I somehow know how to do the tutorial questions for Chapter 7 *Finally after a whole day of brain power*, I feel my moral boosted! Full steam ahead! 6am here I come! #_#

Public Display of Affection

The old might not agree, but these days, many young people don't seem to mind displaying their lovey-dovey side of nature in public. It so happened I witnessed not one, but 2 incidents today.

On the MRT home from Orchard, I noticed that there was this chinese couple standing just on front of me. The guy's about 1.78m tall and a bit fat. He seems to be in his mid-20s, wearing a faded and crumpled singlet and shorts. He also had an unshaven stub on his chin. The lady is about 1.6m tall and looks to be in her early 20s. She was wearing a bright green blouse. So... this tall guy got his meaty arms wrapped around her while using both his fists to clasp the centre pole, and at first I noticed they kissed... ok, quite normal. Then the lady broke the kiss and inserted her index finger into the sides of the guy's singlet and start stroking his nipple, all this while both of them were maintaining a lovestruck gaze at each other's face! I was like "WTF?! O_0 .... I pretended to look other direction.. damn! Must be a new karmasutra method out of the books...

The 2nd incident, also happens on the way hone, also happens to be in the same MRT, same carriage and just side by side only! Gosh... The 2nd couple... The lady's description is about the same's the above. But she was wearing a white strapless top with jeans and she had that kind of sporty look and physique. Seems american-chinese to me. Yes indeed! because her boyfriend is a caucasian! The guy maybe arould her age, due to his boyish looks, is about 1.85m and he's quite well built. He was wearing a tight-fitting T-shirt couple with cargo jeans. No, they did not kiss, but they did use their noses to stroke and rub each other's noses. Aww... cute... Later, again, and as expected, it was the girl that gets horny. The Ang-Mor had his right hand out to hold the rail. The girl was leaning on the glass panel and she was like taking the ang-mor's right hand and slowly kissing the underside of it (nono, not the armpits). Then later and coincidentally like the previous couple, she used her index finger to circle the Ang-mor's left nipple; so much untill the lucky guy's nipple-erection can be noticed!

Crap, why was I in the carriage full of horny love-birds?!

Teacher oh teacher...

Screwed up teacher are few and far in-between in school. But it so happened I came into contact with one of them today. There was this particular teacher that was one of the invigilators for today's MCT exam.

Today, the moment I stepped into class for my MCT paper, she instructed me to place my belongings on the tables at the back of the class. Sounds quite normal for a teacher. But when I was talking to Earns halfway, she interrupted my conversation with her snap. I cocked my head in my direction and gave her a stare. Oh man, from that look it is apparent that she's that classic all-girls school strict disciplinarian teacher. She was also staring at me in the eye with equal intensity. I backed out... since it’s an exam.

Later prior to the commencement of the exam, everyone was given 10 minutes of reading time. During that time I just looked around class to observe the surrounding. And, I could not help but observe that teacher (again!). First, she complaint about earns and about his slippers. Then she gave some negative comment on Chek How's student card. I just wonder how many more students she has to pick on.

Examination in progress... examination's about to end. I packed my stationery and was about to submit the paper, when that! teacher! approached my desk to inspect my paper. I had forgotten to fill in the question numbers and she used her index finger to constantly rap my paper on the table. In my head I was like "What the fuck do you want from me, bitch?” Her next words got me out of my thoughts:

"Young man, can you stop wearing this type of shirt to school, it’s very offensive!" Her voice is kinda loud and I can guarantee that at least a 5 seat radius can hear her ranting! She was making reference to the "Pepsi/Penis shirt I was wearing. I just filled in the question numbers, my admin number and casually tossed my paper in her general direction. I got up, get my stuffs and left the examination venue. That was not all!

When JQ, Fred, Shen Ye and I were discussing some of the questions outside the examination room, "SHE! RWAR!" came out to piss me off again. She said something like "You all, there is still an exam in progress, can you all go somewhere else to talk?!" the 4 of us turned to leave and she followed us all the way along the walkway till it was of a suitable distance from the exam venue.

Such strict disciplinarian, no-nonsense, meticulous teacher. Really, it’s a dying breed in schools these days, needless to say Polytechnics. This incident really reminded me of my JC Tutor, Ms Tie... I think I'll remember Ms Tie for the rest of my life. Nostalgic Nightmare...

But still who cares what I wear? You might say this is an educational institution. But then, I’ll just show you the middle and preach the freedom of speech and expression. I am who I am, you are not my mother and I'm damn alright and I don't need your useless comments. It doesn't show you care, it just shows how provocative you are... much more provocative than my PENIS!

Its been a super slack day today, I just did almost nothing... Eat and sleep, thats all. Now its in the evening, and I feel much better. I just want to continue on my revision. But problem is, all my past-year papers are stored in my D drive and I can't have access to it. Guess I'll have to mug my books afterall.

Tomorrow morning, I'm gonna get that laptop fixed once and for all! Afterall, I've promised to take care of that laptop and use it for at least the next 10 years! Oh ya, tomorrow is also the final test for GEMS. It has the heaviest weightage of 40%! Must kill that paper!

I forgive you... and I will never forgive myself...

Angel: "The problem does not lie with your laptop or your handphone. It lies within you."
Devil: "Come on la! He is having a bad day already... Can't you just let him get pissed and let off his temper?"
Angel: "The consequence that follows, you have to bear with it."

So be it... I choose the devil...

Do you feel like a man,
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now...
she falls to the ground?
Well I tell you my friend
one day this world's gonna end.
As your lies crumble down,
new life she's found...

Mid Year Exam: A Forecast...

The Mid semester exams are coming and I'm gonna psyche myself to to the best I can. Hopefully it can match the grades I've obtained for my MST. Exception being Logic Design. This, I must DEFINITELY do better! If not I am not Kevin Goh Han Leong!

An analysis of what is to come:

Analog Systems: Presumably, my best subject. But, it was kind of heart-shattering to only get 83 for the retest. Lost to my 2 good buddies. But still, an "A" is an "A". All I need to do is to remember what I've learnt from Topic 1 to 2D and master the remaining chapters.

Engineering Maths II: Kind of a surprise for me during the MST because I merely expected to get a B+ for it. Still, overconfidence should be locked away. Damn, I remember, last year when I got a 100 marks for my MST2, only to be brought down-to-earth by a sucky performance in my Final Year Paper. Focus: Fourier Series...

MCT: It was my weakest subject. But with a streak of luck, I got an "A" for it during the MST1. Must do something to keep this lucky streak going.

Logic Design: "D" for DUH! The biggest focus must go to this subject. Lots if creativity is needed to score and "A" for this, and I mean.. a lot...

Overall: In sequence, with reference to the above, I hope I can get a "AAAB" for them. Realistically speaking, its impossible to get "A" for LD already since I flunked the MST. The goal is set, now... action speaks...

He said..."I love weed..." XP

Oh man, when will Mdm Safura ever complete marking my MST AS paper? The only hint she told me was that I already had 3 quesntions wrong for the MCQs. 91 marks left... As what I had dreamt. Could it be true? Hmm.. maybe its just a dream afterall.

Prior to the AS final lab test, JQ and CE was over at my house slacking for several hours, due to the fact that Mdm Safura kinda "refused" to mark my paper. We played "XXXXX" poker with disasterous effect. Oh man, oh god!

Later on, in the evening, I met up with Ah A, Ju, Bun Jie, Kat Kor, Ah Qing, Ah Mei and of course Ah Zing and had dinner at Jurong Point at the Sushi Restaurant. After all these years, AH Zing never really changed. Still as crappy and cocky as before. He was in Singapore since yesterday morning and up till today afternoon for a brief visit before flying back to Kansas USA to complete his last year in univarsity there.

After dinner, Kat Kor, Bun Jie and Ah Qing went back home for rest as they had to work the following day. For me, I enlisted the help of Uncle Francis to help Ah Mei move her stuffs from her old hostel in PGP to the new one near Raffles Hall. It was during that time, I realized the extent of the injury incurred to my back. While standing straight or walking upright seem to give me no problems, it was when I bend down to pick something up, the pain shot through my lower spine! I think I need to get some medicated plasters stuck to my back...

Later at around 3pm, is Ah Zings flight to the states. Doubt I could send him to the airport as I had classes. Anyway, hope he does well for his final year, hope time flies so that we can all see him soon. Miss his jokes man..
