Being "Dua" (deceived) ain't pleasent at all...

Talk about being faked by your own classmates for a year and a half. Today I was supposed to meet Earns, JiaYi and Chek How to study at Nee Soon South CC at Khatib. However, the latter 2 did not turn up. Worse still, they did not contact me about their inability to turn up. Earns and I was almost left alone in the dark... luckily Earns found out about the incident, else the 2 of us would have waited like "2 dumb fools waiting for ghosts to appear" at Khatib MRT. I was definately pissed. This speaks a lot about one's personal initiative and responsibility. Initiative for being considerate to inform us, responsibility for caring for our feelings. Berating them on the phone or via MSN ain't good enough. I guess I'll give them a piece of my mind when school re-opens next monday.

Once again, 2nd shift for Laplace is the damn stumbling block for me. Guess I'll really have to give it a miss for a while and seek appointment with the lecturer. I'll have to concentrate on the rest of my work.

E-Learning Week

Below: Do you wish I was your husband? (Qn to the ladies!)
Today is the first day of E-Learning Week. Usually, joy and elation should be expected for this "holdiay". But, I was kinda bored as I feel that I had nothing to do except for play computer games, play my new PSP or to do my studies if I were to stay at home. Speaking of studies, I guess I have much catching up to do. Almost all my subjects, I am lagging behind. And if I don't do something about them, I'm gonna eat eggs for the upcoming MST. Heard from some of my friends that we were supposed to go back to school during this period. Today, we're supposed to attend a FYP talk at 3pm and on friday, there is a make-up CA lecture. I don't know how true is that, but its better to believe than to brush it aside as rumors.

Look! My cooking skills just got better! Well, not really cooking... just making good food! For this morning's breakfast, I made 2 slices of toasted bread with salami, mushroom and Polish Herbal Cheese topping! Smells damn good! And also a Roti Moyan with sambal chilli to top things up! Someome will surely be asking me to cook for him/her! I ain't saying who!

JiaQing's 18th B'Day

Yesterday was one hell-of-a-day. Got up early in the morning and rushed to school in time for the 8am maths tutorial. After doing the tutorial and the Laplace Online Quiz, the 3 of us (JQ, Earns and Me) decided to skip ACS lab lesson. We headed down to FC2 for our Branch and later proceeded to the library to slack. Afterwards, before GEMS, we met up with Joyce, Daph and Nicholas to do our GEMS skit. Thank god our efforts were not wasted, as I feel that the presentation of the skit was quite well done. There were a lot of other good skits too. In general, most groups did well.

After the lessons, Earns and I got to FC4 to meet JianLiang and Sotong, the latter 2 who will be helping us in games for the Diploma Day. There were several games such as soduku, darts and captains' ball. Those tall and fast people in my class (including me, as fast) took part in Captain's ball. For the 1st game, we "tok" our opponents 15-0 but, we eventually bowed out to a slightly stronger opponent in the 2nd round... all thanks to a "kelong" referee. Earns took matters into his own hands by blasting a barrage of words to the ref, rendering him speechless!

The Diploma Day ended quite prematurely for the few of us, who lost all the games early. We went home first to get prepped up for JQ's birthday party. I changed into something casual and was on my way. Damned the heavy traffic... but at least I unexpectedly met up with the rest of my classmates on the MRT. And I was quite surprised that people such as Joel, Yong Long and Ronald wanted to come.

JQ's b'day party took place at his so-called "sky gardens". At that place, I could see 3 distinguished groups. Mainly my class, JQ's secondary school class and the 18 HSH group. The only group I was unfamiliar with was his Zhong Zhen schoolamtes (except for Ryan). It was planned that we would get JQ drunk tonight with all the Liquor available; the Johnny Walker, the Martel. A lot of people toasted JQ to his 18th birthday with both shots and mixes. But apparently, he looks quite sober and still could walk straight. It was just fun and more fun at his party, played all sorts of card games, did all sorts of forfeits (Ronald and Joel doing push-ups Oh My God!), etc. Overall a tiring but fun day!

To my bro JQ, happy 18th birthday once more! One 18th only in your life, so enjoy it while it lasts!

Internet Bookings!!

Below: Joyce and Me. So this is what "Cam-Whoring" is all about! =O

My next birthday is almost here (well, actually in another 4 months's time). But, I'm not in a celabratory mood as I have yet to clear my IPPT. I've booked my IPPT test slot at 18/12/2007, 5pm at Maju Camp. From now till then, I've got like 2 months to beat myself back into shape. Buy however, I kinda know that I will never be able to get a below 9.45. Even if I did not manage to get that $400 incentive, $200 isn't so bad either.

Yesterday, I also booked the courses I would like to take next year. Telecommunications being the first, Computer Systems the second and finally Macroelectronics.

North/Peter Cetera - Glory Of Love

Tonight it's very clear
As we're both lying here
There's so many things I want to say
I will always love you
I would never leave you alone

Sometimes I just forget
Say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't wanna lose you
I could never make it alone

I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love

You'll keep me standing tall
You'll help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone

I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you've been dreaming of
We'll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love

Just like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just in time I will save the day
Take you to my castle far away

I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We're gonna live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love

We'll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love

We did it all for love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love

Its been freaking ages since I have updated my blog, as I have realized. For the week in whick Bun Jie registered marriage, I was totally busy with my relatives at the same time juggling with the school work. With not much success. (And to think that I thought of working part-time and studying at the same time for this semester..) Lots of work I left undone and lots of concepts un-reinforced and this is making me kinda fear for my performance this semester.

And yea, I realized how hard it is to sleep on the sofa in my living room, and I marvel at how my mom managed to endure for years. (Room "rented" to Wai Po"). Whoa, don't get me wrong... its not that I blame my Sister for getting married or my grandma for staying over at my place, just that maybe I am not as strong as what I myself perceive?

But it all boils down on myself... Last year I was full of drive and determination.. full of unyielding willpower, hell-bent on my goals. This year, and especially recently, that impenetrable barrier began to crumble...

Screwed my biological clock by having troubles sleeping at night. STONING in my bed till 3am... And talking about doing wierd things, I felt like going up to a tree trunk and scream at it till my veins burst... screaming out all those anger and agony at it! Anger at self for loss of determination....

Agony for.... caring so, so, so much... till it hurts...

Bun Jie ah!! ^^

Below: Bun Jie and Zhen Ping Kor all prepped up for their vows while Ah Ju and Kat Kor looks on
Below: Yes, I do, my dear!

Today is a significant day in history... coz Bun Jie and Zhen Ping Kor registered their marriage at the ROM at Fort Canning hill. Witnessing the signing of contracts, declarations and exchanges of vows include families from both sides. More importantly, Sah3 Ku3 and Sah3 Kim3 and most importantly, Wai Po were there! It was just a heart-warming event, to see my big sister being entrusted by her parents to another man. After the ceremony Sah Kim wept tears of joy, Wai Po was all smiles all the way, and although Sa Ku was quite stoinic, I could tell that he was extremely happy for Bun Jie! After the ceremony, everyone went around Fort Canning Hill to take photos of the beautiful scenery! (PS, photos in the Ah Mei's and Ah Bun Jie's Digital Camera!)

Later in the evening, everyone had buffet dinner at Marriots' Hotel Dining Area. The food was sumptious and simply mouth watering. Everyone made merry and had good laughs. People like Ah Mei was trigger-happy with her digital camera; Bun Jie kinda threw away her default "Ladylike Manners" and whooped herself to the food! Super Funny lah her!

The dinner lasted all the way till 9.30pm. After that, well wishes were exchanged and everyone parted our ways. Tomorrow is another working/schooling day that is...

--Hopefully I can get the ROM photos by the end of the week!--
