Its funny how having not blogged about anything sort of 'degrades' your ability to write an entry after a while. I already had a bad start with the Title and so took the easy option out and called it 'Untitled'.

A quick rushthrough of what happeded this week. On monday, after Chem, yours truely attended a blasted PP training workshop. Gut feeling was telling me not to go but went against it. On wednesday, i realised why i should not have gone. I received an sms around 12pm telling me that i came in contact with a H1N1 case and as a precautionary measure, was given LOA (Leave of Absense) and asked not to come to school and do e-learning, till the 7th of July. Sounds fun right? only problem is the e-learning part. It sucks!

E-learning goes like this. Download the PS and worksheet and complete the worksheet and then email it to the faci. And at 4pm, when the Quiz and RJ have been opened, do them and submit them as well. The hardest part of the 3 is the Quiz, because you dont understand most of the quesions asked as they are not really found in the worksheet. So that sucked big time.

Spent some time on friday night-saturday morning giving my blog a facelift. No idea why i was doing it though. Had some difficulty doing it smoothly because of my laptop. the screen is giving me some problems once again have to move the screen every few minutes to be able to see whats on it. Went down to the repair centre on Saturday in the hopes that they will be able to fix it on the spot and give it back to me, but looks like those morons only do on-spot repairs on weekdays. So took it back and decided to go back there again tomorrow.

Planning on rushing through my worksheet and then heading off to get it fixed tomorrow. Alrighty, the TV beckons me. ;)

School term begins

2009-04-21T22:41:00.000-07:00

Monday was the first day of Year 2 sem 1 and i gotta say, i was suprised that i was not a bit nervous that i would have to meet 25 new people and a new facilitator, converse with 5 new team mates and get work done and then present our answer to the problem statement to the class! Last year, i was freaking nervous when i entered my 2 classes. But anyways, lets not dwell on that too much. Had biochem on monday, and managed to understand the problem before the end of break out 2 (which was just in the nick of time). Had Recombiant DNA technologies on Tuesday and a break on wednesday. The good thing about being a Year 2 student in SAS, is that i get Wednesdays off! So i only have to go to school for 4 days and get 3 days off (including saturday and sunday)

Ok, gotta go finish up some stuff. I'll blog more later.

Dim Sum!

2009-04-18T07:35:00.000-07:00

I'm so used to not blogging regularly that i'm not even going to appologise to anyone for not blogging for a while now. School starts on monday and i've still not gotten back to the "school timing" of waking up at 5.45am yet. I'm still sleeping at 4am and waking up at 11am or later. luckly, i managed to get up on time on thursday to meet up with Andre at Novena (and try persuading steph to join us). The Dim sum Resturant only starts the buffet at 2.30pm but andre was already moaning that he was hungry at 2pm. If i were steph, i think i would call him "stupid Andre", but i'm not and so shall just keep my mouth shut. Haha.

plates after plates we ate, i was stuffed. Andre on the other hand, still had space for dessert (he has a soft spot for that jelly thing he ate which i cant remember what it is now. (mental note : Ask Andre what it was and use it to lure him for future gatherings. Alternatively, i could use cakes. =)

Headed over to my aunts house for tea (as if i could consume anything without bursting from all that Dim sum earlier) and then headed home.

On friday, i got some peace and quiet. I stayed at home THE WHOLE DAY! Finally! A day at home without the need to go out anywhere. Should do that more often.

Today, My 6 year old cousin came over to my place and so we (My family, cousin and I) went out for lunch. Went back home thereafter and watched a little bit of TV (there's nothing interesting on the tele on saturday afternoons!) and then got ready for dinner with another cousin of mine, her daughter and my nephew) We went to Thai express at Gardens. The food was ok, but the portions were pathetic! anyways, i was still full. And now, i'm sitting here, typing all this out and listening to music and planning on sleeping early.

I'm guessing that i'm going to start feeling nervous tomorrow afternoon, wondering how my new class is going to be like. I'm more worried about the facilitators i'm going to get though.

Expensieve gifts!

2009-03-26T22:14:00.000-07:00

Four friends, who hadn't seen each other in 30 years, reunited at a Party.

After several drinks, one of the men had to use the rest room. Those Who remained talked about their kids.

The first guy said, 'My son is my pride and joy. He started working at a successful company at the bottom of the barrel. He studied Economics And Business Administration and soon began to climb the corporate ladder and now he's the president of the company. He became so rich that he gave his best friend a top of the line Mercedes for his birthday.

' The second guy said, 'Darn, that's terrific! My son is also my pride and joy. He started working for a big airline, then went to flight school to become a pilot. Eventually he became a partner in the company, where he owns the majority of its assets. He's so rich that he gave his best friend a brand new jet for his birthday.

' The third man said: 'Well, that's terrific! My son studied in the best universities and became an engineer. Then he started his own construction company and is now a multimillionaire. He also gave away something very nice and expensive to his best friend for his birthday: A 30,000 square foot mansion.'

The three friends congratulated each other just as the fourth returned from the restroom and asked: 'What are all the congratulations for?'One of the three said: 'We were talking about the pride we feel for the successes of our sons. .What about your son?'

The fourth man replied: 'My son is gay and makes a living dancing as a stripper at a nightclub.' The three friends said: 'What a shame.. What a disappointment.

' The fourth man replied: 'No, I'm not ashamed. He's my son and I love him, and he hasn't done too bad either. His birthday was two weeks ago, and he received a beautiful 30,000 square foot mansion, a brand new jet and a top of the line Mercedes from his three boyfriends.'

Wednesday with Andre and Kenneth

2009-03-26T21:39:00.000-07:00

Let me quickly scribble what happened on wednesday. I met up with andre at Cathay Cineplex and waited at Long Johns Silvers for kenneth who did not know how to get there. Andre "helped" him out by telling him to ask some good looking girls for directions. Typical andre. Anyway, after getting our tickets, we walked around aimlessly for about 10-15 minutes before we went out of the building and went into Gloria Jean's Coffees where andre and i had a drink each. At first, when i saw the board, the price of my Original iced chocolate was about 5.70. But at the cashier, the lady only billed me at 3 bucks! I thought the lady had some memory loss or something and typed in the wrong price. It was only when i was collecting my drink with andre that he told me that he got it at a discounted price and it was probably cause we're students. Cool! So after finishing up our drinks, (andre kept adding water to his mango drink cause it was too sweet.), we went up to get popcorn and jumbo hot dog and drinks and then walked into the theatre.

The movie was nothing fantastic. The only thing that andre loved in it was his 'GF' who's name i cant recall at the present moment (Mental note: ask andre) We walked around orchard road for a good half an hour, trying to empty our stomachs so we could have dinner. We finally settled for Fish & Co. Andre had some trouble trying to understand the waitress who was talking our order. that was hilarious man! i was laughing quietly as i saw andre straining himself to catch what she was trying to say. Haha. So after having dinner and everything, Andre took the bus back and kenneth and i took the train back to AMK. alright, i'll end this post here, gotta go out for lunch in 10 minutes time.

Cheers!

IT Shopping

2009-03-13T08:58:00.000-07:00

Who knew going to the IT show 2 days in a row could be so tiring? (I definitely didn’t). Yesterday, I met up with Qais at RP and gave him a little ‘tour’ of the campus and Then had lunch at causeway point before taking the train to City hall and then made our way to suntec city convention hall where the IT Show was being held. We skipped the 2nd and 3rd floor and went straight to the 4th. The plan was to collect pamphlets and flyers so that we could bring them back home and take a look at them before buying anything. Having collected more than enough flyers and pamphlets to bind them and make a book, we decided to go catch a movie. Dragon ball evolution it was, 8 bucks per ticket was kind of a rip off, especially since we could get walk over to a GV theatre nearby and buy them tickets at 6 bucks a piece with more comfortable seats. Anyways, The movie finished around 4.50 and we went straight to the MRT station and took the train back home. We were too tired to do anymore walking.

Jumping straight into today, i went for a second round of IT shopping at the IT show again, this time, with my dad. We were contemplating which anti-virus program to buy. There were 3 types shortlisted in our minds. Norton, MacAfee and AVG. But we didn’t get either of them just yet. My dad says he will ask some of his friends for suggestions on which to get and then buy it.

Anyways, gotta end this entry here for today seeing as i have some stuff to do before turning in for the day. (unlike Qais who can afford to sleep for 19 hours in a row and have the cheek to message me and say that he feels like going back to sleep again. Haha)

At Pennsylvania Avenue

2009-03-06T06:39:00.000-08:00

Ok, here's another joke that i got via email. Enjoy!

One sunny day late in January 2009, an old man approached the White House from Across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, 'I would like to go in and meet with President Bush.' The Marine looked at the man and said, 'Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here.'The old man said, 'Okay' and walked away.The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, 'I would like to go in and meet with President Bush.' The Marine again told the man, 'Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here.'The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying 'I would like to go in and meet with President Bush.'The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, 'Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Bush. I've told you already that Mr. Bush is no longer the president and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?'

The old man looked at the Marine and said, 'Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it.'

The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, 'See you tomorrow, Sir.'

Back in Business

2009-02-21T05:41:00.000-08:00

Dear me.. Looks like i've been missing in action for quite a while now. My last entry was in november 2008. Nearly 4 months! But it was a good long break from blogging though. It would be hell to write everything that has happened in the last 4 , so i'll just SCRIBBLE what has happened in the last month. Firstly, School's out. Am on a 2 and a half month long holiday, which is kinda long. But then again, we humans are never satisfied with what we have. If we have a long holiday, we complain that its too long; and if its short, we complain that its too short! Human nature i guess. Anyways, had a class BBQ with W14H on the 11th of Feb, Met up with Idah at her place and helped her transport the food to our BBQ pit. Afiq and i started the fire around 5pm, but it got washed down by the rain. How nice. My area had not been experiencing rain for weeks, and on the day i didnt want rain, it did. Nevertheless, we took it as practice and after the rain subsided and we managed to try the pit, we started the fires again, with Sandy doing the other fire this time. Chicken wings, sausages, crab sticks, otak-otak, fishballs and nuggets (yes, nuggets, Courtesy of kitty) were all on the fire and i was busy cooking the food. I kinda lose my appetite to eat when i BBQ. Guess its the smoke that causes it. But i ate a little bit here and there anyway. After all the food was cooked, we sat down to play games and around 11.45pm, i took my leave. Was Way too tired to stay back(sorry guys).

On Monday(16th Feb), i met up with Andre and Steph at Toa Payoh, for Dim sum at a Chinese resturant. I left the ordering to Steph and Andre. So tray after tray of dim sums came and after the 5th tray (or what ever you call the bamboo steamer thing), i waved the white flag. Was too full. But because poor Andre was let to finish about 2 trays, i decided to stuff myself with a little bit more. The bill came up to around $90, including 10% Service tax and 7% GST. We divided the cost equally and then made our way to the library to cool down, after which we parted, with me taking the train and Andre and Steph taking the bus. A short lunch it was.

On Thursday, I met up with Andre, Kenneth and Amanda to catch Pink Panther 2 at AMK hub and thereafter to dinner at NY NY. Since it will be Andre's birthday on Monday, i decided to celebrate it early. I got Amanda to keep Andre company while kenneth and I rushed to get the cake. (we told Andre that kenneth needed to withdraw cash). On the way out of NY NY, to get the cake, one of the waiters, Andre's friend, informed me that it would be good to get Andre the membership since his birthday was coming up and the discount and vouchers were worth it. So i decided to get him one and told the waiter to get the form ready and then dashed off to get the cake. By the time we got back, the food was on our table and we started eating. I then secretly passed the waiter the cake and asked him to help us get the cake ready (Put the candles in and everything). But it looks like the manager was the one who did it and i think she screwed up by only putting 16 candles. Hello! I asked the cake shop for 18 candles for a reason. Not for you to keep 2 candles to yourself and have a romantic dinner with your husband/BF after opening hours! Anyways, We cut the cake and had a slice each and packed the cake for Andre to bring home. Along with the membership card, came a bottle of red wine. After settling the bill, we made a move and parted for the day. (Pictures taken have been attached. Sorry for the poor quality. The lighting sucked)

Alrighty then, i think i might have written quite a lot for now. I'll end here. Am watching Lord of the Rings, The fellowship of the ring and its getting to the interesting bit. Cant multi-task. So till my next post/entry!

Change we need

2008-11-05T00:26:00.000-08:00

This was the motto that Obama, Or should i say Elected President Obama used for his campaigning and looks like it worked! He now waits for his term in office to begin in January next year. He has made history by becoming the first african-american president.

After Obama was declared the winner by John McCain, he gave a speech which i found graceful and very sincere. Despite loosing, he acknowledged that him not becoming president was not the case. It was whether America gets a good president and that he is just a servent of America and that all he wants is America's Happiness. He also acknowledged Obama as MY PRESIDENT and then moved on to thank those people who helped him. When it came to the part where he started thanking Sarah Peilin, i started to laugh my head off (not literally). Thank her, for crumbling his chances of becoming president more like! The popularity she got was mainly negative publicity. For those of you, who like me have been reading the news papers for the weeks leading to the election day, you would have seen how many negative comments the press had about her. The best of all would be that she used campaign money for her clothings. Very smart move if you want your campaign raitings to go down. McCain and G. W. Bush were already pulling down the ratings down for the Republicans and Sarah P just made it worse. If McCain had managed to convince Colin Powell to run as his Vice president, He would have stood a much better chance of winning. But everyone makes their fair share of mistakes. McCain admits that as well.

Obama on the other hand, could have ensured his victory by a landslide by sticking with Hilary Clinton as his vice president. She managed to claim many states. But her help in campaigning might have payed off and helped with his votes.

Now, after being promissed lots of things from Elected President, Barak Obama, We will have to wait and see what becomes of America and the world with the changes that he makes.

*Barak Obama will be taking office on 20th January 2009

This is what days should be like

2008-10-29T20:01:00.000-07:00

Gym and a movie. That was preety much all i did yesterday. Woke up about 4 times in the morning, starting at 3am, then went back to sleep and woke up at 4.15, then at 5 and finally at 7am. Went to the gym, did the tredmil and a few other exercises and then got back home. Suprisingly, i still had my stamina. I thought that i would be gone as it has been ages since i last went to the gym. Anyways, Went back home after that, had another shower and spent about an hour and a half playing CS (with bots. Was quite fun actually) and then went for lunch with my mum and dad. Hotplate beancurd with sambal kang kong. Yum yum! After i was filled, went back home and planned for a movie with my cousin. Booked the tickets and went to watch it. High school musical 3:senior year was the movie. (for movie review, check out my other blog. Review done and posted in record time) and i even got the soundtrack. The music was GOOD.
Anyways, i got back home, typed out the review and was TV bound thereafter and so, did not type this entry. But at least its done now.

Lets see what today has in store for me. Btw, i'm still waiting for SUITABLE candidates to do my blog and friendster profile.

-S-

Can i please see some hands!

2008-10-28T00:07:00.001-07:00

Alright folks, i'm thinking of doing up my blog and even my friendster account. They both look kinda dead. Does anyone want to volunteer their services to help me 'do up' my blog and friendster profile? Raise your hands if you want to (when i say raise, please dont be a nut job and literally raise it. People will think you're nuts for raising it so randomly. Hit me on my tagboard and i'll know you're 'raising' it.)

Anyways, Its the 4th day of the holidays (saturday was the 1st) and i'm bored out of my skull. Well, not really. Just finished a movie marathon. Watched about 6 movies and i'm taking a little break before starting on the 7th. Or maybe, i should just make a few calls and go to the theatres and catch the 7th. Sounds like a good idea. But that will mean that i would have to drag myself out of my house. I'm dead tired from all the cleaning and visiting i did in the past 3 days. I dont think i can even move a muscle. Oh wait. If i cant, then i wont be able to type. Scratch that bit then.

Anyways, for those of you who want to go watch a movie, tell me by TODAY, so that i can arrange what ever is necessary. But please give me a good movie title that we can watch.

Alright. 7th movie is calling to me. Must start contemplating about which movie it will be. Iron Man sounds good.

Food, drinks and lots of money!

2008-10-27T07:12:00.000-07:00

It really is true. I had lots of food (deepavali goodies), Drinks (soft drinks people. not heavy liquior or anything of that sort) and lots of money, which is clearly obvious.

Started my day with prayers and getting new clothes, then Going to the temple and then back home. My cousins came at 11 for Deepavali visiting. At 1pm, had lunch and then watched a bit of television before leaving to my cousins house for Deepavali visiting. After about an hour, we came back home and laid back for a couple of hours. We, meaning my family and i, were too tired to do much visiting today. I went to my room and put some movie on and watched it till 6pm. Then showered and helped to put oil lamps outside by house. And now, i'm adding in this entry so that it will look like i'm making an effort to write something.

Anyways, i think i better turn in now. am utterly exhausted. 3 days of hardwork and insufficient sleep aint doing me any good. I can feel my eye lids closing already and my eyes are red and bloodshot.

Till my next post, which i have no idea when it will be

-S-

A month later..

2008-10-26T06:36:00.000-07:00

It's been a month and i have been taking a long break from my blogging. Tagboard might have been updated, but not the blog itself. Why one month of no blogging? You can thank qais for that. He suggested it. (Silently laughing to myself) Anyways, in this one month, i have been resting and have been thinking of new ways to progress with this blog and to see how i can manage it even with my heavy schedules. Doing it in school aint going to be easy, especially since the facilitators are breathing down your neck through out the lesson (especially my maths and computing faci! Just cant understand what she wants us to do while waiting for other teams to finish presenting the same darn thing that my team presented!) However, i have yet to come out with any ideas and therefore, shall be blogging whenever i get the chance. So no changes people. But i wil TRY to post more stuff.

Anyways, Tomorrow, Or should i say in another 2 hours, it will be deepavali and i am EXHAUSTED! i had to clean the drive way yesterday using one of those high pressured jets and my hands are aching like mad. I didnt even have the chance to listen to my music from my MP4 player before dozzing off. It was literally falling asleep as my head hit the pillow. Today, i had to wake up at 8 am( Could barely wake up) to return the jet before it is considered rented for another day and then rushed off to John littles to get some new clothes to wear tomorrow. Then had to rush back home to help my mum clean the house. It was like a double killer. Totally drained yesterday and barely had enought time to rest before getting drained of what ever i had, today. Anyways, my fingers are aching and my mind is going blank. Dont wanna fall asleep while typing this post, so i'll end things here. I'll post another entry tomorrow if i get the chance.

Oh yeah, before i forget, to all those who celebrate deepavali, HAPPY DEEPAVALI!! (in advance)

Cheers!!

Turn the snooze on!

2008-09-23T06:59:00.000-07:00

I think the number of hours of sleep i get, comparing secondary school and now, has become worse! I usually go to bed around 1 or 2 and wake up at 5.30 to get ready and get to school by 8.40am. i end up going to school yawning continiously. This morning, i woke up at 5.45am but was not feeling too good. i was having a bad headache and was not in fit state to do anything. I went back to sleep at around 7.30 with my air-con blasting at my face and fell asleep straight away. I only woke up around noon because my phone was ringing. So i got up, had another shower and had Lunch before getting on the computer and sending an email to my facilitator indicating the reason for my absense. But truth be told, i was feeling 1000times better than i was just the day before! I think sleep was what i was really lacking. I should consider doing this more often!

Saturdays and sundays are a bust! so no point trying to wake up late either. cause there will be something or another that lands up in my schedule early in the morning, making me wake up around 7 or so. maybe i should consider blocking out my sunday mornings for this. Chances of me cancelling appointments on sundays are higher compared to saturday.

Anyways, this is all i have for today. Lets see what tomorrow has install. Its maths and i'm seriously wondering what i'm going to do. Maybe i'll kill some time by blogging.

-S-

What ever happened to it?

2008-09-17T16:30:00.000-07:00

Nudges, shuffling and bumping are just some of the things that i experience when i get on or off the train every morning. The last time i remembered, people were suppose to show courtesy and wait for the people on the train to alight before those on the platform get on. However, this is no longer the case. Everyone moves all at once. The people on the platform dont wait for the people on the train to get down and because of this, the people on the train have to SQUEEZE their way out in order to get out. There are even times when people who are pushing prams, have to shout their way out because of the rushing crowd.Yes, Shout. Its ridicillious! Its due to some people that it has become a social norm to do such things and be ignorant of courtesy. So the question now is, what happened to courtesy? Lost to social norms? You decide

Is Friday the 13th wrongly dated?

2008-09-16T04:48:00.000-07:00

It should be called tuesday the 16th. Today has got to be the worst day i've had in school for a VERY VERY VERY long time. And i really cant stress the word very because i've actually been enjoying school since first semester and have not been having any problems like this before. The problem with today is simple. I started the day off by waking up late because i was dead tired after sleeping late and getting up early for the past few days. So by the time i finally managed to get out of bed and into the shower and then finally into the MRT, woodlands bound, it was almost 8.15-8.20. A record for me. But the suprising bit was that i managed to get to Woodlands by around 8.40.

The Queue for 902 was long as usual. Nothing suprising there. The Queue was moving unreasonabaly slower today though and at one point, i saw Zuhrah go into the 169 queue and it was then that i was so tempted to change lines. but i didnt. So 169 came and went, and by the time i finally managed to get on 902, it was almost 8.55. 5 minutes more and class would start. It was probably the lastest so far. i got to class at 9.02am and it was then that my facilitator was taking attendence. i thought i was safe and that she would mark me present instead of late, which would result in a 0.5 deduction of my daily grade. Almost towards the end of the lesson when i looked at the grades portion of LEO (my school site for us to download the problem for the day), i noticed that i was marked late. I have never, and let me emphasise on that word again, NEVER been late for class till now. And i was not plannin on letting one small thing like this spoil my grades. So i asked my facilitator if she could change the attendance since it was only 2 minutes late. she agreed.

A few minutes later, she informed me that it was not possible because of some reason which i was not bothered to hear and i know it was just an excuse. I'm just hoping that she does change it as i dont want to get any red marks on my grades just becuase i was late, and it was only 2 minutes late! i mean, COME ON! ARE YOU THAT STRICT?

Putting that aside, the next thing that "made my day" was that my ear piece broke while i was boarding the bus back to the MRT station. It snapped clearly into half and can be used no more. I had to go down to causeway point to get a new one, which cost me about 18bucks and its nothing fantastic. Oh! and i forgot to include this part. My presentation today was out of point for almost half of it. Only my slide and wee ling's slide managed to link. Frankly, i thought the presentation covered a wide scale and even steph's part of COM was relevant. but what can be said anymore? Whats done is done. All i can do now is wait and see what becomes of my grade for todaay and hopefully, wake up and get ready for school in time.

Truely a bad luck day. have to stay positive that tomorrow will be a good one. (fingers crossed on that)

Missing In Action

2008-09-14T18:12:00.000-07:00

Yes, yes, i know! Its been almost 20 plus days since i last posted an entry. But as i stated when starting this blog, i wont have much time to write often as i would be busy with school etc. I'm typing this entry before the intended event to write about, becomes too far back. The event i'm talking about here, is paul's birthday suprise.

It was a last minute thing even though i had the idea hours before launching it and was contemplating how it would be done. The general idea was to suprise paul. I had already informed him to meet me for dinner. The venue was unconfirmed, but the time and date, was. I contacted amalina and sirithai and asked them for their opinions as well as Qais opinion. It was decided that we, Meaning Qais, amalina, Sirithai and myself, would meet at hougang point where i followed Zhen Yu to go get self relighting candles from a party shop there and then headed off to amalina's place where we would get the cake before shooting off to pauls place. Zhen Yu left us at Hougang point as she had other things to do. Amalina claimed that it was only a 10 minute walk from hougang point to her place. BULLSHIT MAN! It was 15 minutes long! Maybe even 20. Must check that out with Qais or thai.

So anyway, when we arrived under Amalina's blog, we found the bakery where we were suppose to get the cake from, to be closed. That was a nice walk followed by a nice supirse eh? I'm being scarstic here by the way. So after running around the area, we finally managed to find a cake shop and got the cake (Marble Cheese Cake) Before sprinting off to paul's place as he was beginning to whine abou having to wait so long. Under his block, a dingy place, courtesy of amalina's good selection, we got the cake out along with pauls present and the relighting candles. His present by the way, was a clown hat. check the picture attached for a better picture.

I went up to pauls house and got a plastic bag wrapped around his eyes ( i didnt have an actual blind fold with me. Had to improvise) And brought him down. i got him to remove the blind fold and scared the living daylights out of him. As he tried blowing out the candles (which caused a mess on the cake because it was melting too fast due to the extensieve heat) he gave up trying as they would keep relighting and we (qais and i) has to extinguish the flames using water. After cutting the cake and eating it, we played with some crazy spray/string or what every you call it and then some glow sticks before finally heading off to Macs near pauls house and had dinner and then we were off.

Thats about all i can write for now seeing as i have to get ready for lesson which starts in 3 minutes.

OH! and with regards to my previous post, i shall not be updating my friendster page till i hit a certain number of friends. It hardly seems the point when i hardly check it or add people etc. So i'll keep blogging even if i dont update my friendster profile.

Over and out

My blog or friendster account?

2008-08-25T07:13:00.000-07:00

i've been telling myself that i must update my profile on friendster and add pictures etc, but it seems time and again, that i dont do it. The last time i said i would do it was 2 months ago and i have still yet to do it. The only thing that i have been concentrating on, is probably this blog. I've even ignored my other blog (i wonder if anyone has hacked into my account and posted anything for me) because i dont have the time. "ITS THE HOLIDAYS!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DONT HAVE THE TIME" some of you might ask. Trust me, i've had loads to do. Plus i have to catch up on loads of sleep that i've been missing the past few weeks since i started school. Hopefully i will find the time to update my friendster profile in the coming week or at least before school re-opens because i wont have a chance to update it once school starts again. Anyways, have to end this entry here and now because i have to go pack for tomorrow. Have to go to school for a CE activity. Have to go hunt for my Lab Coat. Can't remember where i put it after lab work the other day. anyway, hopefully i will update my friendster profile before i post my next entry.

Pictures galore!

2008-08-24T07:21:00.001-07:00

I completly forgot to put up this pictures this morning when i posted that entry about the fireworks. So i'll just put them up here. Its almost equal to a new post anyway.

Rain drops keep falling on my head

2008-08-23T09:43:00.001-07:00

And so it did while we the fireworks were going off. Today, or should I say yesterday, was the second and last day for the fireworks festival, and I must say, it was Awesome! The fireworks lasted for approximately 15 minutes. Can you believe it? Fireworks going off continuously for 15 minutes with barely 20 seconds gap in between? The funny thing was, even though it started to rain slightly, people were still standing and watching the fireworks, as if the rain didn’t matter at all until the fireworks finished! Amazing effect fireworks have on people!

So anyway, how did me going to watch the fireworks come about? Qais wanted to go watch, and so I organised. Haha. Rather simple really. The company, even though few, was great. Many thanks to amalina for being blur and coming there a few minutes before the show started. I’m being scars tic here, in case you can’t realise that, if you are reading this now lina. Since the show would only start at 9pm, Bishu, Diana, Qais and I decided to go to Lao Pa Sat to eat before heading off to find a spot that we could watch the fireworks from. Amalina joined us later after her family dinner or something like that. After the fireworks, we left and went back to Lao pa sat. We were still hungry. (When I say we, I meant Qais and me). We ordered 30 stick of satay along with Roti John and with a can of coke, I was full. With that, we got up and left.

Qais, Diana and Amalina claim that they are going to some haunted house near punggol. I’m betting that they will chicken out half way and go back. So here I am, writing out this entry and waiting for them to come online to hear about their adventure. They seem to be taking a long time though. Wonder what happened. Ah! Speak of the devil. Here comes Qais online right Now. Wonder where the others are! Too scared to come online I guess.

LOST (Shahman edition)

2008-08-22T07:12:00.000-07:00

Yes, yes, I know! I've not been posting anything on my blog for a long long long time already, but with reason. Firstly, i have been away on holiday like i stated in my previous entry. Got back on wednesday and was too tired to post anything. Then came thursday and i had no mood to type anything. Came to check my blog for any tags but didnt type anything yet again. So, i thought i'd do it now and get some people who are grumbling that i'm not posting anything, off my back so that i can be at 'peace' to do the other things that i need to do (should put up my To-Do list so people know what i have yet to do).

So anyway, To talk about my trip to Bangkok, it was basically a simple one, which was mostly shopping. Not much sight seeing as i've already been there about 2 times before this, but quite a few years ago. So on the first day, the plane landed at about 3pm and then we checked into the hotel (which sucked for your info) and then went for a show. Now, that show was awesome. Am planning on doing a write up on it on my other blog when i have the time. I'll write a small note on my tag board once i'm done with it. Anyways, day 2 came and it was completly shopping. Day 3 was a bit more interesting. After shopping for half a day, we went for a cruise along the river. It was just a 2 hour cruise but there was lots of food and dancing. The sights were brilliant.
(sorry for the lack of elaboration) Day 4 and 5 were the same thing. Shopping, shopping and more shopping. It was only on day 4 that i started buying stuff for myself and then day 5 was mainly for getting souviners etc. So by 3 pm on day 5, i was waiting at the airport, Boarding pass in hand (window seat) and ready to get on the plane home. Brought back a few bottles of coke that you cant get in singapore and have them on display in my room (i'm making it sound as if my room's a museum) but anyway, now that i'm back in singapore, i've got lots of things to do so till my next blog!

IT MADE HISTORY!!

2008-08-15T03:15:00.000-07:00

Or at least in my books that it. It was probably the best day of my life yesterday, for 2 parts. First part can be written down here, while the other part cant. For the first part, it was basically my birthday and i think it has got to be the best one thus far. At the stroke of midnight, tons of wishes came flooding in one after another. (Qais was a bit disapointed that his was 3rd. Haha), followed by several calls. After replying to those messages and answering those calls, i finally slept at around 3. withing a few minutes, i was woken by my ringing phone. It was yet again another one of my friends calling to wish me. After finally answering the remainder calls, i finally slept at 4 and then woke up at 7.30 thinking that i was late for school because i usually get up around 5.45. Went back to sleep cursing and swearing at my dumbness and woke up again at 10.30.

Went out for lunch at the NUS guild House with my family and my uncle, Aunt and cousin. Ate something that sounded liek grilled fish flounder, which was nice, but was ridicilious in quantity, and downed 2 glasses of coke =)

Went back home there after and cut my cake (chocolate royal) and then left for the second part of my day, which shall not be included in my blog. All I'm going to write here, is 3 letters, RPT. Those who know what i mean, will know what happened yesterday that made me really happy. I think i was on top of the world if truth be told!

Before i conclude this entry and rush off to pack my bags for my trip to bangkok tomorrow, i would like to thank everyone for their birthday wishes. Really appreciate it. Truely unforgettable.

Time after Time

2008-08-07T20:22:00.000-07:00

I know that i should have written another entry after my last one, but i didnt have the time, or at least i didnt MAKE the time. Anyways, lots have happened since. To start, on tuesday, E36K went to pizza hut to celebrate our final week in RP as a class. Therafter, E36K will be divided. Every member in the class will go to a different class and there's not telling if we will be able to meet up again after that as most of us would have moved on to make new friends. We had a second class gathering on wednesday, this time, at esplanade. We had dinner at Lao Pa Sat and then went home. There might not have been much activity, but it sure was fun. Many photos were taken and i dont think i will have the time to actually select the pics to put them up. But if i Do have the time, i will. Anyways, gotta go. Enterprise module at the moment and i'm betting that the facilitator is wondering why i'm so quiet in class when i'm actually typing this entry out. Till my next post, which HOPEFULLY, will not be a week later.

Friday at the movies

2008-08-05T18:04:00.000-07:00

I know its been a long time since i last did a post, and so, i will be doing 2 posts today to cover up for the many days of going MIA. The reason you may ask? Simply because i didnt have the time. Too busy to blog in other words. So anyway, on friday, i met up with Qais and watched THE DARK KNIGHT! Finally! The movie was awesome! For more details, Check out my other blog. I've already posted a review on it. Anyway, i have to submit this post now. going to have an early lunch. My next post will start in a few minutes, or at least after i have finished my lunch and am in the comforts of my classroom.

Medical School

2008-07-30T19:28:00.000-07:00

First-year students at Medical School were receiving their first anatomy class with a real dead human body. They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet.

The professor started the class by telling them, "In medicine, it is necessary to have 2 important qualities as a doctor : The first is that you are not disgusted by anything involving the human body." For an example, the professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the corpse, withdrew it and stuck it in his mouth."Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his students.

The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took turns sticking a finger in the butt of the dead body and sucking on it. When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them calmly and told them, "The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my index finger.

6 Days later

2008-07-27T17:56:00.000-07:00

Its been 6 days since i last posted anything and lots have happened during that time. For starters, my computer "crashed". Some ridiculious problem with windows. The guy at RP IT helpdesk tried "everything" and said that there was no other choice but to format my computer. Thankfully, i had a back up of about 96-97% of my documents in my External hard drive. After waiting for about 4 hours, i finally got back my laptop at 6 on friday and was left to try and put everything back. The irritating part of the whole thing is that the guy didnt do a very good job. Some components were not in and i seriously wonder what he did with my laptop. Did he recover it or did he make it go mental? Anyway, this is the reason why i have not written anything for so long. I will be going back down to IT Helpdesk later to try and fix it later on. hopefully i can get everything settled and have my lappy running like it used to, by wednesday.

14 more to go!!

2008-07-22T22:32:00.000-07:00

Its down to the final 14 days of school and i honestly can't wait for the semester to be over! After being pushed to my limits several times during the past few weeks, i think its time for a change of environment. Also, when school re-opens, i will have new classmates! Thats how RP's system is like. New friends and more contacts. I like the sound of it. The sad part of the ever so quickly approaching holidays is that i wont be able to work with some of my very good friends in class like Priya, Glen and Gilbert. But then again, i will still be in constant contact with them and will probably see them every other day in school when i go down for lunch etc. Hopefully time speeds up a notch in school and slows down when i'm at home or out of school. I think by the end of these 3 years, i will know RP better then my own home, when i think about the number of hours i spend here compared to home (i'm asleep most of the time). Anyways, Gotta end this entry soon. Have to get some work done (going to have a debate) and then get ready to do my school work before heading off for a movie. I'll be putting up a movie review on my other blog by the end of this week. Check it out.

Oh, and one more thing. I'm thinking of catching a movie this friday. Either HellBoy 2 or the Dark Knight. Anyone interested??

A change in the Verdict

2008-07-20T23:08:00.000-07:00

After thinking about it, i've decided to edit the functions of my 2 blogs. My first blog (wordpress ) will function as stated in my earlier post ( The verdict ) but with an extra. It will also be where i put up Emails that i have received as well. I shall distribute the emails equally on both blogs. Those that are funny will probably come onto this blog so that people can talk more 'rubbish' on the tagboard while the moral teaching emails will be put on the wordpress blog because people prefer reading the posts instead of commenting. But commenting is still allowed! Please Comment! This blog, My second one, will be my 'informal' blog where i write what ever i feel like writing and answer nonsensicle comments on the tagboard. (just kidding)
SO START WRITING ON MY TAGBOARD!! (For those of you who have already been doing so, keep at it. Haha.

17 More days

2008-07-20T16:43:00.000-07:00

Its down to the final 17 days of school and i cant wait for the holidays to start. The sad part about the first semester ending is that i will have to start with a brand new bunch of people when school re-opens after a 3 week break. This will mean that i probably wont get to work with the people i worked with this semester, again unless they happen to be in the same course as me (i dont think anyone is when i last checked) But then again, making new friends is great. Getting more contacts is the best way to go, especially in RP where you can simply ask one of your friends in a different class to send you his or her slides from the module that you are doing on that day and simply edit it to fit you and then present it. I'm currently sitting in Science lesson and waiting for the Facilitator to start with the lesson. I'd better get this entry done and publish it before i start. Over and out.

Movies all around!

2008-07-19T05:23:00.000-07:00

Hellboy 2: the golden army, The Dark Knight, Journey to the center of the earth. These are just 3 of the movies which i have in mind to catch in theatres. One of them is already covered. I've got free tickets to watch journey to the center of the earth on wednesday with my family. As for the others, the status on them are still pending. I was suppose to watch it with Qais, Amalina and a few other people, but looks like that might not be possible because Amalina has already watched it. As usual, her pirated DVDs have spoiled the fun. Anyway, i can always look for someone else. Its not a problem. The other movie, The Dark Knight is the one that i really want to watch. If anyone's interested in going out to watch any of these movies except Journey to the center of the earth, Just drop me an sms if you know my number.

The verdict

2008-07-15T05:55:00.000-07:00

I've finally come up with a solution. I will be keeping 2 blogs. But both will have different purposes. My wordpress blog shall be converted into a movie, Tv show and food review blog, which will be updated whenever i have watched a movie, had some really good food that left a lasting impression. As for TV shows, that will be one that i really have to ponder on as to what to write for that. It was only the idea of including TV shows in it, but a clear picture was not visable. This blog however, will contain 2 things. My own thoughts as well as many emails, both humourous and informational that i have received, but have otherwise been too lazy to forward. If anyone has any further suggestions, please shoot!! there is a tagboard that has hardly anything written on it (YET!)

Deciding the fate of my blogs

2008-07-13T16:27:00.001-07:00

Writing down my thoughts is usually not easy. Knowing what looks appropriate to write and what doesn't is also not easy. Therefore, i'm really contemplating if i should use this blog as one that i just put jokes down and keep it at that like how my previous blog was, or if i should actually take the effort to put my thoughts on the net. I'll get back to this entry after thinking it through. I'm in for a busy week. So i'm not sure if i will have the time to blog for the rest of the week. So, i'll just put in a few jokes that i got off emails for the time being. Most of them will be repetitions from my other blog. But i think most of you would prefer to respond with this blog cause there's a tag board, something which wordpress unfortunately requires you to pay for, in order to have it on your blog. I'm also thinking if i should delete that old blog of mine and just stick to one blog or keep two blogs running with two different purposes. Suggestions anyone?? just hit them on the tag board.
