Rhapsody With You

A post after likee.

2010-05-17T01:14:00.002+08:00

Yes, Finally an update after likee.. 29809182 ye.. Okay, one and a half months. Hahahaa.

I was just too darn lazy to update lah. Nothing to update also. Because I am so free after graduating from TP. Feels weird not going to school when other people are talking about school. So what should I blog about... Hmm..

Oh yeah, *Points to the side bar >>*. As you all might have noticed or some have known, there's another "Jubeat data" on the side of my blog. Yes, I did get a new card to start from the beginning. It's AXEJAYY-, because I think that XJ is too short. They gave you 8 spaces, might as well use them all. Also, XJ is already Platinum rank, which is the last rank in the game. BUT, the real reason for getting a new card is because alot of the scores in the card are not mine. It has a lousy averageeee and alot of the high high scores ain't mine. Omg, I'm so damn noob. Zzz. For Example, SigSig 971k was played by Shifu Lun which I haven't broke for like 2 years? Next, that stupid SPUDEEE. (Read it as SPADEEE.) 985k Evans. Retarded, even with 3 of my other friends helping, I don't think I can get that score lah.

So, this eventually lead to AXEJAYY-. It's alright. New beginnings, starting from 0. From highest rank in PRDC to the lowest (Until YS decided to get a new card too -.-). Although rank doesn't reflect much, but usually is people linking with me to play songs I don't have, it's the other way around nao. Zzzz.) Nevertheless, shall work slowly towards better averageee. (Slowly, because it's expensive. I don't want spend too much. =p)

And for some reason, I haven't receive my enlistment letter for army yet. I don't know why. Maybe I belong to the September intake I guess?

19th May (Wednesday) is graduation day for me and Sherms and Science school. I feel half-hearted about graduating. Half wants to leave and the other doesn't. I'm sure you guys have felt that feeling sometime during your life before. Sucks right? Graduation gown/attire is ready and IMO, it looks like the cloak that the students wear in Hogwarts (Harry Potter). Hahaha, maybe sherman can bring 2 wands and we can start dueling each other on TP grounds xD.

Having reached here, I think I should sign off and rest. So, bye guys ! And Rememberrrr TAG !!!! ;D

Tag replies:

-sherms: Hahahaha, Lazy Lazy. xD

-Dan & Chan Lun: Nyahahaa, not pro luh. Rank doesn't signifies anythinggggg. =O

Happy Birthday to.... The Blog.

2010-04-01T22:08:00.002+08:00

Hmm. It's April Fool's day ! It's the day where people play pranks on one another and try to be an ass and such.

Of course, being an *ahem**ass**ahem* myself, I was doing the same. Hahahah ! First one was Mom.

XJ:" Eh Mom, School called me this morning."
Mom:" What school?"
XJ:" Temasek Poly lah, duh."
Mom:" For what?"
XJ:" They called to tell me that I did not accumulate enough Credit Units to graduate this year. So I'll have to study for another semester."
Mom:" Huh? Really ah! Omg what were you doing!"
XJ:" Well, I don't have a choice do I?"
Mom:" *Starts to nag* "
XJ:" Hahaha. Happy April Fool's Mom."
Mom:" *Turns to scolding.* "

LOL! Oops. As usual, got scolding from her for playing a prank on her. But oh well. At least the expression on her face was priceless. Hahahaha !

Several others was tricked too and each and every reply was epic and classic. So yeah. Hahah. xD

And since it's April Fool's, it marks the first birthday of this blog. Hahaha. If I remember correctly, Sherms help me with the setting up of this blog because I was so damn bored when I was having my holidays last year. I blogged regularly, until I got lazy and decided to chuck it aside. =P But hey, a year has passed and woot. I think I shall update moar often (I don't know how many times I have said this) but yeah. Hahaha. Bleh.

Alright so I'm done blogging here and remember guys, TAG !!

Disappear..

2010-03-17T20:36:00.003+08:00

Okay, Cannot. Operation correcting of Biological clock was unsuccessful. Phail. I am still only sleeping at around 2-3am everyday due to unforeseen circumstances. Zzz.

Graduation ceremony is sometime in May, which probably mean I'll go into the Army earliest June. I hope. Nothing much to do doing nao and it's quite boring to be lazying around doing nothing. I really have to find something conductive to do during my "Holidays". I guess first of all is to get back enough sleep. I totally look like a panda nao with dark eye circles. They're horrible. Lol.

Hmm. I am thinking of going take driving license. But, I don't think have enough time to do that before Army. Damn. Guess that will have to wait until my Army life is settled first then. Hahah.

I really have nothing much to blog about ah. I think this would be all until next time. And remember guys, TAG!! ;D

Ahead

2010-03-07T23:30:00.002+08:00

Hahah, I should really come to blog moar often since I'm so bored at home really. Nothing much to do around nao seeing that a lot of people are still having school. If I remembered correctly, I believe I said something like "A blogpost a day keeps insanity away" pretty long ago. Like, last year April or May?

For some retarded reason, my biological clock is totally screwed up. I can't sleep early. Even if I take the initiative and get to bed early, I'll only fall asleep at around 3-4am. Yes, 3-4am. That means I'll only wake up in the late afternoon if I'm not disturbed. But usually mom would never let me sleep peacefully. She'll drag me out of the bed by around 10+/11am to go out and eat breakfast/lunch if I'm not going out. *Can't she just buy something back for me? D:*

Talking about retarded, as I look behind me while blogging, I see my retarded brother sleeping in a retarded pose and probably dreaming about retarded stuff. He's recently hooked on playing the recorder which totally irritates the soul out of me because he always plays the same tune!!! (@*$&%^()@^. I should be thankful when it's quiet (Because he's sleeping).

Okay, I feel like adjusting my biological clock back. I shall attempt to make myself sleep earlier tonight. Pray it works. Hahah. Goodnight people and remember, TAG!! xD

Back at last.

2010-02-27T00:20:00.002+08:00

It's amazing how stuck-up a person can be. I guess I haven't been going out and seeing the world enough.

Yeah. Poly is over. After 3/4 years of lectures, tutorials, projects and presentation, everything is finally over. What is left nao is to pray I pass MP. (I don't have much confidence if you ask me. =/)

Chinese New Year was the usual, visiting and looking at people gamble. I don't gamble, because I totally don't have luck when it comes to gambling. I will lose. Bleh. But come to think of it, this year's CNY is special because it is the first that I didn't have to worry about anything regarding school. *Year 1: Communication Skill Presentation/Exams and Year 2: Term Test and Exams*. This year, since my presentation was the Thursday before CNY, I get to celebrate CNY peacefully!

Without a doubt, CNY also means "Q&A" session. All the questions will definitely be asked. For example, "Holidays nao ah?" "Got girlfriend anot?" "When are you going to bring your girlfriend to see us?" "When are you going Army?" I don't want to count how many years I have been answering these questions. Lol. For pictures, go to my facebook account. I don't want to upload here, too troublesome.

18th Feb was Ah long's Birthday. So Happy Birthday Ah long ;D. He had a chalet and I stayed over. Hahaha. Had fun there, although sleeping there was. Argh.

Yesterday was XP's Birthday. So Happy Birthday XiaoPang ;D. Hahah. He didn't have a chalet but he had a very over-powered bashing. (I wasn't part of it. I was there to make sure he didn't dai. =/).

This ought to conclude my once in a while post. I'll blog again once I have the time. So for nao, Cyaa ;DD. And Remember, TAG!!! ;D

2010-02-07T00:42:00.002+08:00

Okay Okay, Yeah Yeah. *Insert usual nonsense about how I'm too busy to blog and all*. Lol. Actually it's not nonsense this time around. Major Project deadline was like 3rd Feb, really had to work hard.

Since I'm on the topic on MP, I'll talk about it first. It is retarded. Super time-consuming. Stayed up late through the night just to work on it. I'm still working at like 5am in the morning. Mom woke up at 5.30am, came into my room and went "Eh?! What the. You're still awake?" *In Chinese though*.

Yeah, plain stupid. But hey, at least it's over. I do have a poster to make and use it for presentation, but that's gonna be the final thing I'll have to do for Poly, I hope.

SOY was at Ngee Ann Poly last Saturday, went there with PRDC. Although the place was small, but I had fun with everybody there. Hahah. I didn't take pictures, so to see them go to facebook and find Sherman's or Daniel's account. I think they did tag me a few though.

Went to Sentosa today!! Omg, I was supposed to meet Qingwen and Daniel at 9am, but I kinda woke up at 9.30am. Heh. Oh well. Reached Tampines mac to meet the rest of the gang and eat breakfast before setting off for Sentosa. All I can say is, it is super crowded and scorching hot. Most of them got sunburnt pretty bad. I just hid myself under the shade whenever I got the chance to, guess I wasn't as bad =/.

Played soccer on the sand and got cut by something/someone. I don't know. But it wasn't painful until I went to bathe. It stings. Owww. Went back to Tampines and eat after that and played Jubeat after that. *Some unknown force of nature just drags me to the arcade. LOLOL* After that was straight bus home from Tampines Interchange and blogging here.

But before I continue, I really think I should go to sleep. I have eyebags that are so dark that even if you used a black marker to draw beside it, you won't see the color difference. Zzz. So off I got and remember people. Tag !!

2010-01-26T22:13:00.002+08:00

I'm taking time off my stupid SIP report to blog nao. Because I really haven't got the mood to do it recently. But since I am already here, I might as well just do it. (Don't worry, I'm not taking it as a chore). I'm half-doing my report and half-blogging here.

If you had bothered to ask me or be concerned about me, you should have already known that last week was my last week of internship. 22nd was the last day, so Mango and I went around looking for stuff to get for the department people. We went on the 19th, after work. We got them all chocolates and sweets, since we couldn't decide what to get and we didn't know what they like. So something to eat should be alright I guess. We also gave them all a card each, giving our thanks to them for everything they have taught us.

5 months actually just went like that. It's almost half a year and in a blink of an eye, it's over already. I've seen Farah leaving, Siyu next, Azhar and Esther after that. Nao it's our turn to leave the company. I didn't really feel the sadness of leaving until it hit me after lunch on Friday. The morning was fine, it's like normal with everybody busy with their work and us with ours. Time seemed to also pass faster as I only remembered working and it was lunchtime.

We had to go to HR department to hand in the employee leaving form by 4pm, so it means we have to start preparing and asking our supervisors to sign by 3.30pm. Ouch. That really gave the punch to make me realize that I'm not gonna be here anymoar. I was sad!! Very sad!!

My supervisor asked me a few days before we left: "So what are the things you like and dislike about working here?" I gave my honest answer, about how the people around me are really nais. They always teach me whatever I don't know, take time to repeat again when I don't understand, forgive all my mistakes. Regarding dislikes, I only hate waking up so early in the morning. Because my house is so damn far.

After lunch, was present giving time. gave everybody our presents and went to get the leaving form signed and completed. By the time we got back to our desk, it was already 4.40pm. We took pictures, but I don't have it. I'll post it when Mango uploads on facebook and I kope them. And since I'm on this topic, I want to say THANK YOU again to ALL THE STAFF THERE. You all really made my attachment a memorable one! Thank you!! :)

Nao damn. Major Project and all the ridiculous deadlines are closing in on us at light speed. We got knocked back to earth, reverted back to students again. *Rush Rush Rush* Gross.

I went for my CMPB checkup yesterday. For those that don't know what's that, in short it's the army checkup thingy. Omg. It's so damn long lah. 5 hours. I spent 5 hours of my day there.
What a waste of time. Did a zillion tests and a full body checkup. Took my picture for my Army IC thingy too. Omg, the guy comb my hair, look like KUKU SIA. ZZZZ. I'll NEVER let anybody see that. Thankfully, it's over. Esp the blood test. Needles = AHHH!! Oh yeah, did I mention I was PES A? WTP? I'm that fit and I didn't know it. -.- Curses !

I am sick, I have flu. Been a week or 2 nao, I sound like some Alien from boin-boin land. Zzz, the stupid nose is giving me a hard time when I'm trying to sleep too. What the heck.

I think I am missing you too much, I mistake people as you nowadays. That totally makes me make me look like a retard. What the heck is wrong with myself. Zzz. )!*)($@%^@^(@%#%. I feel so dumb, but I just can't help it. I feel sorry for my pathetic self. Tsk.

I think I should really get back to doing my report, since it's deadline this Friday. So goodbye people, and remember. TAG!

It's just not fair. It's not fair. It's not fair. It'll never be.

Everything was going on fine for me. Since months ago. Why? Why? Why did that dumb finger of mine have to click on that link. Why?

That feeling that I lost is back again. It's hitting me harder than ever. I hate it. Absolute HATE it. Get away! This feeling of sourness. Jealousy? I think so? It seems like I was never alright to being with. I was never back to myself. I was just covering up, with my act.

The smiles that I had on my face. Were those real? I don't know. The laughs that I had, were they genuine? No idea either. Maybe they're part of my natural response. This is happening along with my MP. Great. Just great. Made things so much better.

People warned me this would happen. They warned me so long ago. I understand it would eventually happen. I KNOW it will definitely happen. But why is it affecting me so much now. I had foreseen that this would happen. So why? Somebody give me the answer so that I can cure myself.

I wish I could have just gone to sleep, and when I wake up, everything is just a dream. A wrenching experience that I had faced. Horrible indeed, but at least it was just a dream. It is not real. Yes wish. Wishes are never meant to be granted.

Burying myself in work is what I shall do. Maybe work would make me feel numbness and this feeling would just go away. As Quickly As Possible.

New year.

2010-01-05T22:41:00.002+08:00

Been busy, so couldn't update the blog.. Blah, excuses. I'm just damn lazy. Lol.

Countdown to New Year was at Pasir Ris with NBA (No, not National Basketball Association). Had lots and lots of fun. Hahaha. I really don't know if the bbq-ed food was edible, but oh well. It tasted nice at least. So it doesn't matter lah. Hahaha.

Unhappy things happened as well, over the weekend and I think I should not brood over it. All I can say is that, what's past is past and let's look forward into the future since things already turn out like that.

With the start of the New Year, of course it sparks the start of a New School year for Secondary school people. Some of them shared their "1st day back in school" adventure. But I think I see nobody having fun. Hahah. But I still have to say, Good luck to all those who just started school! Work Hard in this New Year!!

I really don't have anything much to say already. So I'm going off. To bed. There's work tomorrow. So, good night people and Remember. TAG !!!

2009-12-27T21:24:00.003+08:00

Opps. I neglected the blog.. again. Oh well, what is new right? =P

Nevertheless, I'm back again to blog. About several events in fact. =D

Let me start from.. 24th Dec?

24th Dec (Thursday):

Had to work today, but thankfully it was halfday. I got to knock off at 12pm. Been a long long time since I had a "halfday". It suddenly reminds me of Primary school where you always get halfdays on whatever festival's eve, be it Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, National Day and all. Hahahah.

Met up with Daniel and QW after that, lazed around Simei, Century Sqaure and met YS after that for dinner at Ehub. My parents were there, so the 3 lucky dudes got to eat KFC for free. "KFC nia, if you bring your girlfriend along, won't be eating KFC already. I treat Sakura already." That was what my Dad said after I scolded the 3 of them lucky nerds. Lols. So, who wants a free treat of Sakura??? Please queue up. LOLOL!

Had countdown to Christmas there as well, nothing much to talk about. Just many blessings, funny or sincere. Whatever. Hahah.

25th Dec (Friday):

Merry Christmas People !! It's Christmas, although I was dragged out of bed by my Mum at 11am. Super tired, due to the fact that I gamed till pretty late the previous night =x. Waited for the rest to wake up and they only msged me at 3pm. Phail. -.-

Met up with the same gang + a lot others! Ah long, Joel, XP, Alex, BJ, Lester, Kenneth, Kai, Bradley, SH and others. They decided to have Christmas dinner at JustAcia, which is just beside the KFC at Ehub. Lol.

Gamed until super late again. Crap. -.-

26th Dec (Saturday):

Zzz, I really not enough sleep already. I woke up at 7am, for EOY. I only slept for 3hours. Gahhhh @_@.

Met PRDC people at White Sands Mac, got Christmas Present from Ryan. Thanks for the present Ryan !! Ate breakfast and off we go ! Took train to Bugis, the event was at National Library.

It was boring at the beginning, because there aren't much things happening anyway. But in the afternoon, Whoa. It was pretty packed. Need to squeeze around to walk through. *faint* But nevermind, got many pretty girls to see. :DD

Made a new friend, Melody who was cosplaying at the event. :D

About that, Screw you YS and Sherms !! 2 of my best buddies turn around to blackmail me !!
YS - $300
Sherms - $1000

What..... The..... Heck..... Blackmail for what, I also don't know. Mind enlightening me YS?

Ate Steamboat at Bugis for dinner and wow, it was nice. Eating with friends just made it so much better :D. Eddy and Kenneth joined us too for steamboat too :D. Went home and crashed into bed in no time (Seriously very tired..)

27th Dec (Sunday):

Happy Birthday Travis Lim !! :D

Secondary School buddy (still buddy luh xD), my "homework copying target" because he does so well in his studies. Thanks for your help =P. Hope you enjoyed your day ! Hahah.

Went out with Secondary friends today, after like.. a year? LOL. But not all around. Only Trav, Sebas and Ron. WS and Alvin are no where to be found. Sadded. Suckkyyy. D;

Went to play bowling at Ehub and after 2 rounds, K-box !!

Sang from 3-7.30pm. Trav, Ron and I decided to leave earlier, cause we wanna go home. Sebas continued to stay on until 9pm I guess, with his 2 friends.

Ate dinner at food court, and I walked home after that. (Cool ah? Out of 4 days, 3 days eat dinner at Ehub. But hey, at least it's different stuff leh xD.)

There goes the long weekend, and tomorrow is the start of another week. One more week to Campus Meeting 2, and MP logbook is not really say done. Must chiong hard !! :D

Okay, Shall stop here for nao. Will blog again sometime soon, See ya and remember !! TAG !!

Tag replies:

-Lester & Eric: Like I said, I wish to make my blog all-age-group friendly. More phail-talk, be prepared to see new vocabulary created for you guys, if you get what I mean. =)

BacktoBack

2009-12-17T21:20:00.002+08:00

Cool!! Today is my Birthday as well! =O.

According to my mom, today is my chinese birthday (Following the Lunar Calendar). She said something like "11th month, 2nd day" or something of that sort. Chinese people, just go to your lunar calendar and see if you're interested. Awesome.

Although I don't really care about my Chinese birthday, this one is special because it's right before my actual date of birth =O. That means I have both my birthdays back-to-back! Hahaha. *Can I ask for double the presents from everybody? :D*

Okay, back here. This also means that I'm, (In Kai's Terms) Twen-teen (the fusion of twenty and teen) !!! I'm technically still a TEEN then. Lol.

So yeah, my birthday is less than two and a half hours away and I think I'm going to have a small game to entertain myself. I shall see who is the first person to wish me at 12am sharp and I'll post it tomorrow !! Don't ask me why I'm posting it tomorrow because the reason is simple. I'm sleeping before that (I still have work tomorrow, D;). So yeah, The game is cool. But a Small Rule. No cheaters to try msging me at 11.59pm. 12am means 12am. ON MY PHONE. If yours is 12am, doesn't count. It must reflect at least 12am on mine. That's the fun part, because you guys didn't calibrate your clocks to my phone! :D Hahaha. Yuck, did I just type calibrate? Crap I'm turning freakish.

So yeah. Cool. Tomorrow we shall see the winner ! :DD No prizes though. It's just for fun people. Hahahaaa. XD

Alright I'm gonna go off and remember. TAG!! (This has become a finishing phrase. Hahaha).

Hmm. I'm blogging before I sleep again !!

I promised myself to go to bed at 11.00 sharp. So I have 29 minutes more to blog. Great.

Stupid air-con in my room. It's still so hot. Argh. I swear it's more like a heater than an air-con. I don't even feel the cold air coming out of the air-con. Zzz. I'll die if the room isn't cold. I can't sleep =/. Bad habits I know, pampered kid, yeah I agree. I'm quite spoilt by my parents if you ask me. =O

I have some powerful genes I must say. Crazy genes that make my hair grow so freaking fast. It's long now and it's damn hot (warm, not sexy hot. I not that bhb, yet). My friends around me keep asking me why does my hair grow so fast, esp girls. They say their hair grows awfully slow. I'm pretty willing for them to extract my genes and let them have fast growing hair, if they can luh.

I'm feeling the rush of MP now. Sometimes I can't sleep at night because I'm thinking of MP. It's retarded. 40 page report on a certain topic. *faint*. I don't even know how to start it D:. Super sad. Not to mention that Campus Meeting 2 is on the Saturday that is one day after New Year, 2nd Jan 2010. Lousy day to be going back to school eh? With new year mood. After that, it's gonna be a very bad year or a very good one, depending on how I do for the meeting. Crap.

I'm feeling kinda broke recently. Yes, I FINALLY FEEL BROKE. -.- I only have like. 7 dollars left in my wallet. I can go withdraw from the ATM, but I just don't want to. So I'm officially broke. WHO SAYS I CAN'T BE BROKE!!! Even if my family is rich, it's my dad, not me. I think it's because of Jubeat luh. I kinda overspent. Because of waiting for that nerd YS lah. Tell me to meet, in the end never come after 1-2 hours. Make me rot in the arcade doing nothing. Zzzz. He better give me 10dollars to play Jubeat. LOL.

Lol. My mom is complaining that I'm talking too loud over the mic with my friends. Aww cmon, if I speak too soft, my friends can't hear me.. Nevermind that.

Screw some dumb faggots that should just phucking die, nuisance to everybody. Irritating. The fact that you're irritating aside, you should freaking look at people's mood when you're trying to be irritating. I am somebody with quite a high tolerance for nonsense. But, once you break the limits. Be prepared to taste hell, UPCLOSE. Tsktsk.

Wooooo! It's 10:59PM. I should really really go to sleep nao. Else I won't keep my promise. So, good night everybody !! And remember guys !! TAG !! :D

Sorry lahhh. I know I know. It's almost 2 weeks since I blogged. Aiya, actually it's not like you people want to know what I do everyday anyways. Hahaaaa.

Yes Yes, my birthday is coming. I don't really feel hyped about it. My birthday is kinda boring every year due to the fact that I don't really like celebrations. Hard to believe? Yeah, because of my talkative loud nature but it's true. I don't like them. If I remembered correctly, MoV people celebrated for me last year I think. PST peeps treated me to Swensens and of course, my parents brought me out to eat. Okay, I was quite happy. But, urgh. I think I like presents more. LOL!

Saturday was my attachment company's Dinner and Dance!! It was cool!! I had lots of fun there, the place was great, the food was awesome and being able to see pretty girls is fantastic!! I'm sure Ariffin would agree with me. Hahaaa! Things kinda got out of hand at the end though, few of the interns had abit to much alcohol luh. One went super high, another went super low. =o. Oh well, it's all in the alcohol. For more details regarding the DnD, ask me in person or wait for my friends to tag me on Facebook. Haha.

No work tomorrow, because I took leave. It's payback for the Deepavali that occured on 17th Oct I think. It was a Saturday, we didn't have to go back on that following Monday, but we did. So they paid us back. Haha. Awesome. I really really need the rest. It's like. I can't explain it. I'll really become a panda if I still don't replenish my sleep. Super heavy eye bags. I think I'll need concealers soon. Lol.

Okay. I'm out of stuff to blog about. I'm going off. And Happy Holidays to all who're on Holidays now and remember!! TAG !! :D

I'm here to blog again!! Just because I love it so much!! (Lol, just kidding. It's because I have nothing else to do.)

The last time I blogged was like, in a week? Last week's post was about AFA and I'm still excited over it because I had so much fun!! Come on time, hurry and fly like people always say you do! Fly to AFA'2010! Hahaha.

This week was a a bit busy for me too. It's was the annual MoV Tag Team Tourney. I didn't play, because I couldn't find something I liked to play so I decided to be the judge instead. Hahahaha. Kinda sad I couldn't join my last year teammates, Ron and QW to defend the 2nd place title. Lol! But oh well, moving on.

We went to Bradley's Condo and used the function room as the tournament grounds. Not say it's awesome but hey, at least it can fit everybody and it's air-conditioned!! It has a TV too! Else I'll be bored to death. Heng ah.

The tournament kicked off at 1330 if I remembered correctly and the teams were off to fight for the title of the number one team! *Presses fast-forward button*

After 6 grueling rounds, we finally see the winners!! B.A.D Emerged Victorious as this years champion team!! Following behind is Just For Fun in 2nd place and B.K.E as 3rd!! Well-played by everybody!!

Aww, now this head judge here has a bodyache now. My butt is aching, my legs are aching and my back is aching. Owww. I have a judge floor. Yes floor. Not Judge Table. Despite being the head judge, I had to do everything on the floor as the tables are all used by the players. Phail. -.- Yeah, sitting on the floor is nothing much actually.. but mind you, it's for 8hours. Phuck. Not to mention the judge team I have only contains.. Me alone and Wei Kang for the first 3hours. >_>

But nevermind, I'm just very happy that everybody had lots of fun on that event. I did also enjoy myself a lot during the event looking at everybody, fighting hard and doing their best. =D

November has been a great month for me. The last 3 weekends of November are filled with many events that made me really really exhausted. First it was Asia tourney 2010 on the 15th. Followed by 21st-22nd AFA'09 at Suntec and finally this last weekend's Tag Team Tourney. I'm tired, but I really enjoyed myself :D.

Back to reality, I'm super tired. My eyelids are like closed already. I have the awful swelling feeling in my eyes. That means that my biological clock is asking me to sleep already. So goodnight peoplee. Sweet dreams =D Cya next time, and remember. TAG!!

Anime Fest Asia 09!

2009-11-25T22:18:00.005+08:00

Hooray. I'm totally back!! To my blog, and myself!!

Took me awhile and a huge event to finally shake me out of misery. At least I hope so! Hahah!! :DD

And the event was none other than Anime Fest Asia (AFA)'09!!

AFA was held at Suntec over the last weekeend, 21st-22nd Nov. We were actually told about the event sometime ago, but I only wanted to go to look at girls. HAHAH!!

It was my first time attending this event, and as an exhibitor for Bandai card game! Battle Spirits! Hahaaa! All I had to do is.. Teach the kids how to play the card game. I met many people, from kids to uncles to a Japanese girl who wanted to learn from me despite her knowing how to play already! Whoa. Champion. More on this later.

Was with the rest of the guys at Tampines MRT Station waiting for train and we met Bryan. Lucky right? Not! I predicted it! HAHAHAAA. We alighted at City Hall and decided to eat Macs for breakfast before walking to Suntec. When we were there, It's crazy to the max I swear. There were so many freaking people queuing up for the tickets lah! It's so bad that even us officials had a hard time going into the hall.

After getting it, it was setting up time! But before that, let's switch to pictures! =D

Wow. These are only some of the things that I took. The rest are in Facebook. Too many to upload here luh. (I need to sleep soon >_<)

Moving on to the teaching part. It was pretty fun acting as a "teacher" once in awhile. At least it feels good to be knowing that you know something that others don't know (Tongue twister, try it out. Okay that's pretty lame.) But as with all teaching jobs, there are good students and horrible ones. There are also those true genius type kids who can understand the game after one explanation and even come up with their own strategy already.. I'm super impressed. There are also those that can't really understand what I'm trying to get across and keep giving me the "huh" look. Argh. At least I'm patient. I'm a fantastic teacher okay =D.

Moving on to the coolest student I taught. This Japanese girl who looks like a guy. Hahaa. She came up to me asking me if I can teach her the card game. She spoke in English, but it had that japanese tone in it. I knew she was Japanese in a split second. When I asked her if she played any other card games before, she told me she played Battle Spirits before in Japan. Eh, yes. Battle Spirits. That's the card game I'm teaching. LOL! I asked her what she wanted to know, but she just keeps telling me. "Teach me, teach me" and points to the deck. I don't know where is her level of gameplay, so I decided to test her. I took out a second deck and decided to play with her instead of teaching. I don't know if I was the one that belittled my Japanese Student or what, But she ALMOST beat me!! I was left with 1 life! Before I was lucky enough to take all her 4 lifes left in a turn. Aaron, Coco's manager was standing beside me and laughing at me for nearly losing to a girl. "Hahaa, an instructor nearly lost to a girl." LOL. What the. The word is almost. I didn't lose okay :D. Sherman got a chance to play against her too. If I remember correctly. Sherms was also left with 1 life before winning. HAHAHA! She's really good at that game. She plays very well. Too bad she didn't play the tourney in the evening, or else I'll place my bet that she's the champion! Hahaaa.

Moving on to day 2, we went to eat Macs again. Hahaha. Sunday's turnout wasn't as good as it was on Saturday. But this meant that us instructors could take time off and walk around the festival and skive! Heh. This means. MORE PHOTOTAKING =DDD Let's move on to pictures now.

Kamen Rider - Double!! *Henshin!* Although they're kids. But hey! They're really nice people! Great to have known them! :DD

Memories from young! Digimon!! Renamon in actually fact. Erm.. Renamon is supposed to be a girl. I was shocked half dead when I actually saw Renamon in the Guys toilet. Oh... The cosplayer is a guy.. Hahaha!

Grimmjow on the left and Ichigo with his Hollow mask on the right. Never thought the 2 of them would be standing beside each other for a photo eh? Hahahaa.

Hahahaha!! This picture would probably make those who were unable to go for the event awfully sad!! They're so cute!! xDDD

Heh. Now this one is gonna make people who didn't go AND didn't take the picture with them Jealous. HAHAHAH. They're really really pretty/cute! Unbelievable! Too bad I don't know them. Who can introduce them to me? *Blush Blush* HAHAHA. =DD

Alright, I'm super tired now. I think I'm supposed to go to sleep. I still have to work tomorrow. I'll blog another day soon! When I'm not lazy. xD! And remember guys. TAG! =D

Shucks. I'm like gonna doze off everyday at work. I don't know why I'm so tired. I sleep early. But I'm still tired. This is torturous.

After a long chain of events. It is now Thursday night. This means that tomorrow would be the last working day for me of the week!! Despite that, I can't find the hype that I always have in me whenever this period of time comes. Something is missing inside me. I don't know what. Who is gonna find it back for me?

I actually got nothing much to blog about. I just came in case this place gets too cold which it actually is. Hahaa. Pretty cold.

I guess this is all for now. I'll blog again when I have something to blog about.

Why can't I just forget you.

Emotions.

2009-11-05T22:29:00.004+08:00

I'm so sorry for not blogging at all and making this place kinda haunted. I really don't have enough time to do this. I have other things to write, like my SIP logbook and I need to sleep.

I don't think much people read anyway, maybe apart from the few that helps to keep my tagboard lively. Thanks people, this is for you. Hahaaa.

Nothing much have been going on lately, since on weekdays I'm on attachment. I do go out on weekends though. I just go out with whoever asks me first. I think I went to watch the Michael Jackson movie with.. Sherms, ys, qw, dan, brad and jessie last Sunday. I find it quite cool, since it's like watching a "backstage" concert where all the rehearsals are done and all the tricks and cool stuff are revealed to you. I'm just sad that MJ didn't perform "Dangerous" because I think it's nice. Hahaa.

With the Yo-yo craze still going-on currently, my Dad got my little brother a new Yo-yo for a birthday present. And out of random-ness, my Dad got me one as well. Don't ask me why, I didn't ask him to get it for me. But since he already bought it, I thought I shouldn't waste his money. I should go practice it again. Hahahaa. Been 6 years since I played the old-school toy and my, it is a torture alright. I get the Yo-yo to shoot straight into my finger while doing string tricks and often it hits my face also. If I go into the hospital, I think you guys know what happen. Haha.

I lack sleep. I really can't adapt to waking up at 5.30/6am in the morning. The dark circles under my eyes are so obvious. I need concealers. Lol.

I am tired.
I don't know what's happening to me.
I thought I got over you.
I thought it is a new start for me.
But no, I was wrong.

I came to realise how sad you actually are.
I find myself so dumb for not noticing it earlier.
After knowing, many different emotions hit me.
I don't know what it is.
Time seems to past slower.
I can't hear what people are saying.
I can feel that I'm radiating heat.
I don't know how.

I became mood-less after that.
Mango asked me why I became like that all of a sudden.
I can't answer her.
You tired ah? Is all she said.
All I could do, is just nod my head.

I hate to be like this.
I wish I would forget.
I wish I could rid myself of emotions.
Then I be able to finally say "The End".

It's a Secret.

Happy Birthday to Koa Liling (My sister).

Nope, her birthday is not today. It's long over. It's on the 16th Oct. I wanted to post on that day, but apparently my laziness got the better of me. Yes, maybe my sister's name is very different from mine, except for the surname *duh*. But my Mom say because she's a girl. Lol, Fair Enough. My brother's is similar to mine. If you all want to know, He is Koa Xiang He. A lot of people ask for his name when they see pictures of him. Apparently nearly EVERYBODY says he's better looking than I am. But blah. Whatever. I don't really care, that much. LOL.

As with my previous post, I want to correct something. The 3 new Interns are coming tomorrow. They didn't come today. They said it was "public holiday" for them. Hmm.. Weird eh. Nevermind. Tomorrow then, it's the same.

Friday is the deadline to submit Major Project Proposal. It's retarded, because it's 10% of the final grade of MP and it's only upon 5. Tell me about stress. Every point counts now. Looking on the brighter side, Given the fact that my company is at Tuas and I have to go to school to submit a hardcopy of the proposal on Friday, I'm given a day off! Yay! Long weekend! But before that, I have a long 4 days of rushing..

Argh, I dread this. But I promised her I'll post this.

I think in my life, I'll only probably never win an argument against one person. CHERYL LUA! *There is your name in CAPS!! Happy now? Your highness? Lol.* She's too.. I don't know what to say. Whatever she says will end the argument instantly. Just a sentence. How she does that? I have no clue. People who want to get revenge on me? Now is your chance, you better go ask her how she does it *but it's probably because she's a girl.* Zzz. Finally typed it out. This is harder than an exam paper. But still, Good luck for tomorrow!! =D

Tomorrow is a new day and It's awfully late. I have to sleep because I need to wake up at 5.30am, again. Poor me. Who to save me from this!? I need to sleep more. Headache might just kill me one day...

Happy Birthday to my Brother!!

Yeah. Today is the 14th of October. It's my little brother's birthday. He's like.. 11. Hahaaa.

I need time to go chill and relax. I'm really tired. Waking up early in the morning really isn't for me. Not to add the sleep-inducing atmosphere that the office gives, cold aircon, comfy chair and a smooth table would seriously make me doze off every now and then. HAHAHA.

What's with the Yo-Yo Craze recently? I see so many kids outside playing Yo-Yos everywhere. Food court, Shopping Centres, Bus Stops and even Tuition Centres. Even the birthday present that my brother wants is a freaking Yo-Yo. Lol. No, it's not that I hate Yo-Yos. In fact I used to like them a lot when I was younger. Just make sure my brother's Yo-Yo doesn't hit me. >_>

Yay!! The Cafeteria in Lonza finally opened! It also provides breakfast!! The breakfast is usually quite tasty too. Hahaaa. Lunch, all I can say is the Uncle a lot of pattern ah. Lol.

Like some of you may have read my status in Facebook, there are gonna be 3 new Interns coming on next Monday and be attached to QA department. Yes, next Monday. Means no Holiday for me despite Saturday being Deepavali. Back to the Interns, all 3 of them are girls!! =DD. Pretty girls pleaseeeeeeee. Give me the Chance to forget...

Okay. It's late. I should get to sleep. Unless you want to entertain me during work tomorrow, do not disturb unless *trademark from Sherms: You are gonna die, Your house is on Fire or You are HER.* HAHAHA xD.

I'm blogging again! Because I don't know what else I can actually do now. Hahaaa.

Honestly, it is actually not my fault that I'm not blogging as often as I used to. It is largely due to the fact that my everyday is spent the same way. Unless you guys tell me that you all want to read the same thing like " I woke up at..., Went to Lonza and ate ..... for lunch, did this and that.. etc etc ". I'm quite sure none of you want to read that right? It is too boring lah.

Also, I have not enough time. I leave house at around 6.00am in the morning and only reach home at around 7.30pm to 8.00pm. I still need to bathe and pack my stuff. Then I would need to sleep soon already, or else I'll be dozing off in the office the next day. See. That's why it is not my fault. D;

I have caught a little suayness recently. I think I'm getting more and more suay. Things are not happening the way they usually should. Can't really do anything about it. Hopefully an angel blesses me with good luck soon or the suay-ness just disappear somehow.

I have been quite gloomy recently. I don't like this side of myself, because it isn't me. I think it's time to let go and move on. Cheer up!! Myself!! Hahahaaaa!!

01-Oct-09.

2009-10-01T22:31:00.002+08:00

Dates are to be written in the international format, just like my title for this post. That's what I was first taught in Lonza.

Without further ado, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHERMAN LIM YI-HENG!!! My Best Buddy in Crime (and out ofcourse)!! HAHAHAHAA.

Yeah, we do lots of nonsensical stuff together. But hey, that's what makes us best buds right?! Heh! However, given our straightforward nature, we tend to offend a zillion people and sometimes even each other.

So given this little chance, on behalf of Sherman and I, I would like to apologize to ANYBODY, who had been offended by any of our mouths. Sorry luh. We're borned like that. D;

Next, Happy Children's Day to everybody reading this. We're all young at heart right?!? At least I look like I'm young(For goodness sake, I get mistaken as 14!! That like my younger sister's age!! WTH?!?). Damn, this has been the... 7th year that I don't have Children's day Holiday.

I was sick last week, on Thursday and Friday. I'm super unlucky okay. This is the third time I missed the meeting with the PST gang. The first time, something happened at home. The second time, I had to stay home to help mom with something. The third time, I fell sick!! What's with the suay-ness!! I got stomach flu. AGAIN! What the hell. I think the stomach flu virus has a crush on me or something like that. It just keeps coming to me!! =/ However, it made my working week like super short. Monday was Hari Raya, I worked on Tuesday and Wednesday and it's MC for Thursday and Friday. That is bad, as I took MC on the third week of work. But I really didn't have a choice. I totally didn't eat at all on Thursday. I can't even move.

This week was documents after documents after documents. Keep loading them for review/approval then update the in-progress document. GMP is like the LIFE of everything when you're working there. Evely (one of my supervisors), has also recently printed controlled copies of like 20ish SOPs and I have to file and keep track of them @_@.

Mornings are awfully long for some reason. BUT LUCKILY, Terence Teng would be online on MSN to save me from my misery until he falls asleep. Lol.

Had a fire drill on Tuesday morning. Since it was announced, it came expected although the bell was ABIT loud and shocked me a little. I was thinking it is gonna last quite sometime but apparently it only lasted for like less than 5 minutes. Mango says she feels cheated. Hahahaa.

There is smell of Durians in the office today. Somebody bought durian mooncake to the office to share with the staff today. But I don't like durians, so I didn't have any. I know Esther would probably read this, so I'm gonna type it here. Esther is a computer idiot. She tells me that she cannot print microsoft word document. HAHAHAHA! There is a print button there lahhh! LOL. Oh, I am thankful for xue'er to entertain me the whole afternoon and evening or else I would have died. Thanks! Good luck for your paper tomorrow!!

Tomorrow is Friday, and I should say TGIF. Hopefully it passes really fast so that weekends will be here and I can rest for the long week I've been through.

Oh as usual, why I didn't blog recently is because... I'm just freaking lazy. Hahahaa.

It's the 17th of September, so first of all.

Happy Birthday Cheryl/Xue'er/Whateverrrr!!!!!!!

Heng ah. I almost forgot. Lucky got reminder in the computer at Lonza to remind me. Or else die already. Lol.

Stop acting like you're young already! For goodness, you're already 1*!!

See, am I kind or what! I hid your age okay!! Although your age is like.. my age minus 2... LOL!!

Don't angry ah!! =P

Alright, after the blessings, here comes the whining..

I still want to whine about why Lonza is at freaking Tuas!?!?! It's like super duper far despite the fact that my dad drives me there okay!! My trips to Tuas and back from Tuas is usually used as my naptime!

Attachment is freaking exhausting. I'm so tired already. I need to spend my pocket money on toothpicks now to be able to keep my eyes open when I'm working lah!!
Documentum, which is the program that I use for loading of GMP documents, is freaking slow luh!! Yeah I can't blame it cause it uses a foreign server, but still. it's slow. Every thing I press has a like 5-10second waiting time.

I did around 20ish documents today, and that took up my whole day. Yes, 8.00am to 5.00pm (Including one hour break). Arghhhhh. D:

However, looking on the bright side, it's Thursday already. That means tomorrow is the last day of working!! Yay!!

I have been sleeping early recently, like 11.00pm. Does that count as early? Hahaha.

Not much to blog now, I think I should stop for now. Maybe I'll blog again soon!!! Haha.

I haven't been blogging over the week. I'm really too tired to blog. Sleeping at 11pm and waking up at 6am to go to Tuas for a week really doesn't suit me. Nevertheless, I still have to do it, don't I?

Many things happened during work since the last time I blogged and I'll probably blog most of them since I'm so bored now.

Tuesday (8th Sept):
Learned how to use GMP documentation program. The work is really tedious, but it is for safety purposes. So I guess we don't have much of a choice but to abide to it. The company's CEO came to the plant to attend the ground-breaking ceremony of the opening of the cell therapy plant. If I remembered correctly, it's the first of it's kind in Asia. This was featured on the news on Tuesday. Quite a number of VIPs came, including several CEOs of other companies and a Minister. With all the events, time flew by quite quickly..

Wednesday (9th Sept):
This day is a special day, according to people around me. because it's 090909. Lol. Continued to learn the things I was required to do from "Senior Intern", Farah. She is finishing her Internship on Friday (11th Sept). Therefore, I must learn as much as possible from her so that I won't be overwhelmed on Monday when she's not around. In addition, Mango and I dug for SOPs to read to prepare for something called "Change Agent" Training, which is on Friday. On this day, we also got to know that there would be a dinner party on 12thDec, all staff, contractors and Interns are invited to go and they're allowed to bring one guest each. It's at... Singapore F1 something building and it's premier suite. Mango pestered me to go with her, so I guess I don't have a choice since my supervisors asked me as well. Since I'm allowed to bring ONE person there as my guest, I think I'll look for somebody. So who wants to be my date? Registration starts now. HAHA!

Thursday (10th Sept):
I got to know the topic of my major project and my, it's gonna be fun, I think. By this day, Mango and I found out that the cookies in the Pantry is really nice!! It's addictive okay! Lmao. The day was again, reading more SOPs and trying out documentation hands-on ourselves. You would probably see us writing down all the steps in our little "SOP" book. It's really messy now. Hahaha.

Friday (11th Sept):
First off, Happy Birthday to Meihui!! She's 19 already! Blah Old!!! HAHA. Not much different to what I was doing at work, it's pretty much repeating and repeating. But Friday is Special, because we get free lunch! Lols. This week is Subway. According to Farah, previous 2 weeks was Pizza hut!! Cool right!! I'm really looking forward to this coming Friday. =P It was a sad day as well, as it was Farah's last day as an Intern. Despite being with us for only one week, I think I made an awesome friend during work!! Hahaha. Nearing the end of the day, it was cam-whoring for Farah, as she wants her memories to be kept.. Looking at her makes me think.. when is it my turn.. Lol.

Forget her, Forget her, Forget her. That's what I'm trying to do. It's easier said than done. I give up already. If she's inside my head and I can't get her out, so be it. I'm leaving it as it is.

Attachment..

2009-09-07T21:01:00.003+08:00

Today is my first day of being attached to Lonza Biologics Tuas Pte Ltd for internship.

I need to wake up extremely early in the morning, like 6am in order to go for work on time. And that's when my dad is fetching me to work. Just imagine that I had to go take train due to unforeseen circumstances. Imagine the time I have to wake up!!

After reaching there, we were told whether if we were posted to Lonza Biologics or Genentech. Luckily, Mango, Richang and I were posted to the same place, Lonza. In addition, there were 2 other students that we got to meet and know. Azhar and Esther, who are both from NYP.

There were so many forms we had to fill in, in order to give the company our personal particulars and all, so that they can prepare stuff that we need during our internship there. At the end, the 5 of us got separated as Richang and Azhar were posted to Quality Control(QC) department, Mango and I got posted to Quality Assurance(QA) department and Esther got posted to Safety, something something(SHE), I forgot the last part. Lol.

Our supervisor, brought us around to introduce ourselves to the staff there as we would be staying for like... 5 months. One of the staff actually had the same name and look very similar to Long-Sao. LOL! I was stunned for a moment there. Hahaha.

We were provided with some stuff. Stationary, Company Jacket, Staff Pass, Personal Desk, Computer, Our own staff Email. Yay!

We had GMP training today, in order to let us understand what is GMP, why is it needed, used for and so on. There are many things to follow, even a simple task of filling in a form. It's the first time I felt so nervous while filling a form. =O Apart from that, we read many many Standard Operating Procedures(SOPs). One of it even had like 67 pages!! Ahhhh. I actually wanted to do take some pictures, but due to confidentiality issues, I cannot. I did take a picture of the jacket and staff pass though. Mango will tag me on facebook. Hahaha. Blogger screwed up, I can't post it here. =/

It was a pretty cool first day for me, being able to see GMP come alive where I'll be in real-life situations. It would be different from school, but it's a awesome learning experience I hope! =D

Game on?

2009-09-06T20:30:00.003+08:00

SIP (Student Internship Program) is starting in less than 24 hours. Now that's urgent. I'm nervous over what to do when I get there, will I meet nice people to work with, and what to do for my Major project.

And. With that stress, my mom is throwing her tantrum. This is ridiculous. She's giving everybody in the house attitude over something stupid that my Dad said. Now she left the house, never tell where she going and all. This is plain dumb, she has to do stunt when it is one day before my SIP. To think I told her that I am stressed over SIP and this is what she does to help. Fantastic. Just fantastic.

I have been confirmed to be posted to Lonza Biologics Singapore Pte Ltd, located in Tuas. I asked Miss Hor during the day that I did my NAPFA. According to what I know, it is a manufacturing plant for drug products. But why does it have to be located in Tuas? Why am I even posted there?! I live in Pasir Ris!!! That is like traveling from one end of Singapore to another, everyday!! Urgh. Please let me have fun there! For some reason, I think I will. LOL! At least I got 2 other friends who got posted to Lonza with me too, Mango and Richang. Please let us get allocated to the same department or whatever. Or else I think my first 2 weeks of lunch will be very lonely. >_>

Now to let off what I have to say.

Yes, making a fuss over a game is stupid. Yes, everybody have differences. Yes, we have 2 of the best characters on our team. Yes, we have an advantage over the opponent because it's 4 versus 5.

But before you think about anything, take a look at the opponent's team first. Desmond, Desmond's bro, Alex, QW and BJ. Technically if you count out Desmond who DC-ed, there are 3 pros in the team. Then you come back to look at ours. Me, Bradley, Bradley's Cousin, Kai, YS. Counting pros, there is only 1. So what we have the better heroes? A player's skill counts a whole lot more. I'm not pro I know. That is exactly why I'm playing. I'm trying to learn and get better.

Now go think over what you said. "4v5 still can lose. Because of Idiotic Mistakes". Are you trying to imply that everybody is an idiot? I know we aren't pros but I am sure that doesn't count us as idiots. Everybody makes mistakes, as somebody who is better, you should be teaching or correcting them. Not direct insult in their faces.

I'm better at the Arcade because I started earlier, had a lot more practice. I take time to teach you play Basketball, Jubeat, Daytona. I tell you tricks that I know of, or tips that I know can work to help you get better. Now, I don't scold you or imply that you're an idiot because you make mistakes right? I don't say that you're an idiot because you can't drift pass a corner that I can in Daytona. Neither do I say that you are a dumb ass because you missed a note that I could hit in Jubeat. In actual fact, I correct them and help you get better because that's what everybody I taught would like.

Humans have feelings and apparently I am one if you didn't really notice. Nobody likes to be called an idiot over mistakes. Mistakes are meant to be learned from, not tools for you to use to scold people. Jokes are fine. We're friends and we can laugh it off. But remember to think about what you're gonna say out because insults affect people more than you can think. It hurts people's feelings and not to add it makes them piss off.

Random..

2009-09-03T11:43:00.003+08:00

Yes, this post is a random one.

I'm at home and having absolutely nothing to do at the moment. The urge just came to me and asked me to blog.

Despite that, I have no idea what I am going to blog about leh. HAHAHA.

I actually wanted to upload the pictures that were taken all the way back since the last day of school to the chalet me and the PST peeps had last week. But there are so many pictures to upload and I am just too damn lazy. Hahaha. Moreover, most of the pictures are in my facebook already. Din and the rest tagged me. Lol.

Yes, Napfa was yesterday. It was horrible to an extent and cool to another. Lemme start with the horrible one first. Super exhausting. To the max. Given that I haven't ran since after Secondary 4's Napfa except when I'm chasing after the bus/train, 2.4km run was a torture. 6 rounds around the stadium feels like it's never going to end. I think the track has some hidden power or something like that. Every step you take, the track will suck your soul through your feet and you will feel that it's getting heavier and heavier. Yeah I know it's nonsense, it's just feeling tired but yeah, you get the point. LOL. I came in rank 17th in around 70ish people. Oh well.. Standing Broad Jump I'll not want to talk about it. Due to some cock-eye-ness, I didn't do well for it. 217cm only.

The cool things are, I haven't trained for Napfa, but I actually can do pull-ups. I did 5, which could give me a silver. This is as compared to when I was in Secondary 4, where I could only do 1 to pass. And I needed a jumping start. Heh. I think shooting baskets in the Arcade trained my arms (according to YeSiang. Hahahaha). Next, Sit-up was a breeze. Since we all do it everyday. At least one. When you wake up. RIGHT SHERMAN!?!? HAHAHA. I did 51. Although my stomach kinda hurt after that.

Shuttle run is done on the track. I wanted to make sure I did well, since it's just running. But when it was my turn, BoonPin told me must maintain your appearance, so I didn't really chiong too crazily. I thought I would get some ridiculous score but turns out I got an A, 10.1seconds. (<10.2s is an A).

I think I would have to take Napfa again in Jan. Hopefully I can do well then don't need to go in Army for extra 3 months. Yay!!

Later I'm going to Cine for K-box sessions with... BoonPin, SuJun, Meihui, Agnes, Crystal? I think. So I should go have my lunch now!! Cya all! =D (And For Goodness, if you guys are reading. Tag lah! )

Time has passed...

2009-08-29T20:36:00.002+08:00

Okay. I'm here to blog again. After like, don't know how many years (or maybe days lah).

I have reasons for not blogging these few days. Firstly, I don't really know who is reading or who is not without the tags and lot so I decided not to blog just to read it myself. After that, there is the term tests, exams and chalet that I went to after the exams and maybe I'm just freaking lazy. LOL.

Nothing much happened during the term test/exams period, it's just mugging and more mugging everyday. It's plain boring, I swear. PA term test was a killer. It is supposed to be a TERM TEST, but it's as long as a sem paper (2hours). BPT was horrible as well, with the calculations worth 10 marks and I have no idea what I was writing totally. I seriously hope I pass everything this semester and don't retake any subjects.. >_<

After that there is the SIP (Attachment) briefing where we're told where we got posted to for attachment. Apparently I got posted to Lonza Biologic Singapore Pte Ltd. It's a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant located in Tuas. Yes, Tuas. I was posted to Tuas despite living in Pasir Ris. Excellent eh?

However, Rui Bing actually messaged me one day telling me that Miss Hor called Aqidah and said I got posted to NHG (a Polyclinic) instead. But I still haven't receive any E-mails or calls from Miss Hor yet. So I'll just take it and see how it goes.

After the SIP briefing, it's chalet with the hugeeeeeee clique. Like, big as in big. LOL. It's for 3 days 2 nights and a lot of funny things happened. From Glenn's crazy stunts to Meihui's retarded moments. Hahahaha. I'm just super glad that I went for the chalet!

For now, I shall have my 2 weeks worth of rest before becoming freaking busy for attachment and major project. Hopefully it would be enough. I don't want to die young. =/

August is coming to and end soon and September is coming. A new month, new things would happen. What would it be? I can only wait and see. Hahahaha.

Guilty..

2009-08-16T21:49:00.004+08:00

I am feeling guilty and stressed now. GMP Term test 2 is at 9am tomorrow morning. I didn't really study a lot today, I am afraid that I might fail it D;

PA is on Tuesday. Due to my one week of being sick, I missed quite a number of PA lectures and hence didn't learn some of the things that was taught in class. Now that is scary as well. I shall stay back in school tomorrow after the paper with the rest of the peeps and ask them to teach me everything they know. Hahaha.

I should actually cherish the anxiety that I am feeling now. It may be the last time I will have this feeling due to preparation for tests/exams. The feeling sucks I know but the thought of not feeling it anymore sucks for some reason too.

It's coming to the end of August already. September is on the way here and that means Teacher's Day is coming. I am having thoughts of going back to PRCS (my secondary school). But I want to wait and see if anybody is going back. I don't want to be alone back there. It is going to be awfully weird and I don't like it. So PRCS students who feel like going back to visit the teachers, leave tell me by leaving a tag or message me. =D

It's hard..

2009-08-16T00:03:00.003+08:00

It is always hard to let go of many things, many people. Especially those that you treasure the most or hold most dear to you.

Thursday's GMP lecture was technically the last "listening" lecture I am going to have in Temasek Poly in my entire life. After that, I would not have anymore lectures (unless I fail some subject and have to retake it luh. *Choi*!) in school anymore. It is also hard to believe that time has passed so quickly. It was just then where I was at week 0 orientation camp for year 1s in April 07. The difference in school population, school hours and difficulty of the subjects was something that I had to get used to, in order to adapt to the new learning environment that I was thrown into. For my classmates, remember how we suffered for Organic and Inorganic chemistry in the first semester? Just the abbreviations of those subjects (OC & PIPC 1) would actually turn our smiling faces to frowning faces. How can we forget about Biochemistry when we're in year 1.1? Dr Lim, where the cohort girls go literally gaga over (some of my female friends even take video of him during lecture okay!! Yes, it's that crazy). Nevertheless, his subject never fails to kill. With the first lecture already talking about the individual combination of DNA and the various process of DNA replication.

Moving on to semester 1.2, we were face to face with microbiology, handling of organism that are so small that we can't even see. The tedious sterilizing "Flame, Flame" procedure that we have to follow. Cell Biology is one of the toughest subjects to that date, where a lot of people died to. CSAS, where we have to dress in formal attire and come out with a presentation about a specific topic and guess when was my presentation, Chinese New Year's eye. Lol.

Despite the suffering, time actually moved forward and suddenly I am in year 2. Organic Chemistry 2 caused me the most mugging, brain-wrecking experience. The different combination of chemistry, different process and crazy chemical reactions almost killed me. In year 2.1, we were also first exposed to PBL (problem-based learning) where everybody learns on their own. Then, finally the first "Physics-lookalike" subject surfaced, PUO. Calculations, calculations and calcuations. Tell me why I hate them. Lol.

Semester 2.2 is actually one of the most exciting part of my Poly life. It is the first time that I am posted to a class where I have no close friends in. Basically I am alone and had to make new friends all over again, like a year 1. Luckily, I met people that I could get along well with and despite the small class we are, I enjoyed every second of semester 2.2. This semester is also the most taxing one that we have, with everyone in PST sleeping at around 2-3am in the night due to project deadlines. You can see everybody's panda eyes very clearly.

In April 09, I am year 3. Whoaaa. Senior already =O. The year started off fine, with me and some of my friends in the same class again with others of course. Funny things happened along the way, like how I was mistaken by a year 2 girl as year 1 on the FIRST day of me as a year 3 student. This semester was supposed to be "slack", since we technically only had 3 subjects. But bullshit, say hello to GMP. Your favorite subject for life. The workload from GMP alone actually acts like. 3456789876543 subjects already. Slack? In you dreams maybe, if you get to even dream.

Friday was the last day that I wore the school labcoat as a student. Somemore it was for PA practical test. The labcoat has actually been with me for 3 years and I didn't even really notice it until now. Memories of my past in TP flashed through my head as the left the school. Realizing that I only have to come back to school for 3 more days (for exams) before my final studying semester actually ends. On the surface I hate school to the max, but actually deep down, we all love school. Hahaha.

Thursday and Friday the peeps decided to camwhore like crazy, in order of capture the last memories of us being together. Only then I realized that the group is the huge one. Like 20 people, with quite a number didn't come and some who left earlier. Hahaha.

I just want to say this to all my friends that I made in Poly.

I AM GLAD THAT I GOT TO KNOW YOU GUYS IN MY LIFE. THANKS FOR MAKING MY LIFE SUCH AN EXCITING ONE. It has been a whacky ride and PLEASE, don't forget me!! =DD

Oh yeahhh, I saw World Champion today!! He was interviewed by CoCo Magazine. Hahahahah. Ehhhh, I know the world champ okay!! Lucky me!! XD!!

The End..

2009-08-11T20:08:00.002+08:00

A week has passed, many things have happened.

I really don't remember everything since last week but I will blog about some of the easier to remember ones.

And it starts on last Friday.

The was no PA lab last Friday, so basically I have no school then. A Sentosa Trip was planned by the guys earlier last week when we got to know that there will not be lab on that Friday. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, several of us had to return to school in the morning to consolidate the GMP report.

The trip carried on as normal in the afternoon as Kairos, Shobana, Sujun, Meihui, Boon Pin, Betilda and Din took the train to Harbourfront to meet Glenn and Rachael. We had lunch there eating Long John Silvers and Boon Pin won a Lenovo netbook! Now he's crazily collecting the 6 different screen wipers to exchange for the prize. Hahaha.

Took the don't know what rail from HarbourFront straight to Sentosa. We went to the beach straight and had much fun playing different games on the sand and under the Sun. After that was "Throw Meihui into the water" Game. Lol, apparently Shobana said that it was one of the agendas for the day. Hahahaha. But hooo, Meihui did struggle alright. In the end she said she'll go in herself. Lol.

Went back to Vivocity to have dinner and went with the rest to shop awhile and then went back home for a long sleep...

Saturday, Sunday, Monday was just going out, going out and going out. Hahahaha.

I didn't regret going out at all as I had lots of fun. Oh yes, before I forget, Happy belated Birthday Singapore!!

Regarding Jubeat, yeah people. I am S4 now. But I didn't really play a lot. I could class up this fast is because of the others helping me by playing my card. Lol. Thanks to them, I saved quite a bit of money. Haha.

Lastly, Congratulations for Benjamin for winning the World Championships in Tokyo this year!!! You have done us proud!!! =D

Change of heart..

2009-08-04T22:20:00.002+08:00

I solemnly swear that School is out to make my life more torturous.

However,

I still enjoy being in it.

It is coming to the end of the semester. When I actually go and count the number of days I have left of studying in school, I suddenly have this feeling of not wanting it to end. It is ironic isn't it? There I was, complaining and complaining about how school sucks and all, how projects is draining my soul out. Then here I am, missing school already.

I feel very reluctant of moving on, not going be to sitting in the lecture hall with my friends and looking at notes. SIP doesn't seem so interesting all of a sudden. Actually, I feel that I am nuts talking about this, but I don't want to graduate. I want to be with my friends. They're the ones that help me when I'm down, showing me the way to standing back up again, caring for me when I am sick and for that I am really thankful.

This is always the case, people only miss something when they actually lose it where they should have cherished it from the start. But is it the same for her? Am I really going to miss her when she's finally gone? Will I be able to make her disappear from my head? Only time will tell.

I need to get back to focus. Schoolwork is at hand, grades are on the line. Moving on is always hard but that is how we seriously grow..

Regret..

2009-08-02T23:22:00.003+08:00

Do you ever have regrets in your life? I am quite sure that everybody would have during some point in their life. Well at least I do and it starts with her. Is making my life miserable the reason that I got to know you? If that's the case, I rather not know you. But who knows, maybe not knowing you might just make my life even more miserable than now. I feel very.. uneasy now. I don't know why, but the feeling just lingers in me.

That aside, today has been a long day. I slept kinda late yesterday and woke up early today. I am quite scared that I would fall sick again. I don't want to remember it at all. It's terrible, not being able to move or eat.

Today started off with the usual noise from my mom and my brother early in the morning, from TV to scoldings to the washing machine.

Something happened during breakfast that was totally stupid and I don't wish to talk about it. It's just that if dad wasn't there, I would have committed murder using a bowl. Yes, I'm that angry I swear.

Met up with many people in the afternoon at Ehub. Cause they wanted to play Jubeat. Went ahead with that of course. Fun mah. Seriously the machines at Ehub all dying already. I think it has been banged hard too many times. By 3pm or so we all went the JJ and met up with the others.

Had dinner at somewhere that I haven't been eating for a long time already. Long John Silvers. There is some promotion now. Apparently, 3 piece chicken meal which costs $5.50 last time only cost $4.40 now. Yay!! Save money. Hahaha.

Went back to White Sands to Jubeat again. I only played once, cause I didn't want to spend too much. Waste money luh. Somemore Terence is around, he will laugh at me for being too noob. Hahahah! I shall make a promise after I get to S4 and get In the Name of Love, I shall cut down playing of Jubeat. I also need to find somebody to make me keep my promise, I don't know who, but my parents aren't very good choices because they themselves bring us out to the arcade more often than you think. Happening parents? Aren't they? Hahahah.

Finally, once in a while I get a breather. Nothing is pressing at hand for submission tomorrow. I am so tired already. Glad that the semester is coming to an end soon.

This is bad. Seeing that I slept very few hours yesterday, I should be sleeping now. I might fall sick again soon. I just hope my body would be able to take it. Thinking about that, I think I should just go sleep now. What am I still waiting for? Lol.

Alright, I shall go to dreamland now. Good night people!!

Back..

2009-07-30T22:11:00.002+08:00

I haven't blogged for 5 days. Lol. I better do some updating before my blog turns dusty or I get scolded for not updating. Hahaha.

I am better already. I am back to school, sad to say.. Hahaha. Thanks to everybody who was concerned, your concern made me recover faster =D.

School is still as normal, with the laughter, stress, panicking atmosphere every minute of the day. Stress is inevitably picking up, due to the fact that project submission, project interview, term test, exams are all closing in.

Actually, nothing much really happened these few days that is actually worth blogging about. Probably only thing is I finally made a facebook account. Haha. Facebook is quite cool, with all the quizzes, tags and games that can be played. Seriously, it is fun. Glad I made it afterall.

Oh yeah, remember the PA term test that I took while I was sick? Apparently, Miss Tan told me that I did very well and is probably first or second in the cohort. Wow.. Been awhile since I topped the cohort. Probably the last time was in secondary school. Maybe when you fall sick, you'll get damn lucky? Don't know. Seriously, this time was probably a fluke.

Alright, that's all for today. I will blog again soon, when I find something to blog about. Promise!! =D

2 time's a charm..

2009-07-25T22:34:00.002+08:00

Remembered what I posted last time about how I was getting better? Throw that away.

People, if you think you are unlucky, think again. You probably haven't met me yet.

I fell sick again. The 2nd time in a week. How unlucky is that.

It is totally ridiculous. I think I have gotten some bad karma or heaven is making a fun out of me.

There I was, with my worn out self falling sick on Sunday night, coming up with fever, cough, sore throat. It didn't get any better the next day, and after much struggling in school for GMP quiz, got back to see the doc. Luckily, it was just the common flu and I'll be fine after a few days. Everything was all well and fine for the next few days, although I didn't feel really good.

The unfortunate day came on Thursday, when my Dad brought home take away food from outside. He bought 5 packs of Nasi Lemak, and I randomly took 1 of them. However, it had to be IT. In 1 out of 5 chance, I was lucky enough to choose the one that is "poisoned". Nothing came wrong after I finish eating it, until I woke up at 2am in the middle of the night.

I was in such pain. My stomach feels like there are a zillion tiny micro-organisms beating and poking at it from the inside. I couldn't get to sleep at all. I struggled to even get to sleep. It was so horrible that I was perspiring a lot even though I am sleeping in an air-conditioned room. After much torture, I fell asleep at 4am+. But I was so tired that I couldn't move. I didn't feel like eating and I was dehydrated, I don't think I am, I know I am.

The doctor was surprised to see me again within a week. After visiting the doc and gotten medicine, I went home to sleep... for 8 hours. 11am - 7pm. Being sick is a torture. Eating becomes a chore. The tastiest food tastes bland, my favorite food taste like sand. I was seriously bed-ridden for the whole of Friday after coming back from doc's. Waking up to eat dinner, getting back on the by 8.30 and sleeping at 9pm or so until morning today.

Due to this, I had to miss out on so much fun. Kbox trip after Friday's PA lab with MH and the rest, DK Tourney in the afternoon today, Shobana and Boon Pin's overnight BBQ at East Coast Park now. All because of my unluckiness.

Trying to look on the bright side, I thought it would be a blessing in disguise as I would be able to take a long rest after falling sick. But it seems like a curse in disguise now. I have so many things to do and catch up on in school. BPT and PA projects are both due this coming week, not to add the weekly GMP facilitation. Not to mention the fact that I am still not fully recovered yet.

I am tired of all these. I need a break, a long one in fact. I have faced the devil! Now where is my guardian angel? A smile is all it takes from you and I know I'll be fine..

charge!!

2009-07-21T22:15:00.003+08:00

I am feeling a lot better now. My headache, sore throat and runny nose is still here, but at least the fever is gone. Thanks people for being concerned.

Sleep really work wonders. I slept at 9.30am yesterday, because I took the cough syrup which causes drowsiness. I did not even read through the notes in preparation for today's PA term test.

Woke up several times in the middle of the night for some reason but still got back to sleep afterwards. Guess I am really tired...

Today's PA term test was a little bit difficult, seeing that it is open-book and Ms Tan would NEVER set an easy paper. Trick questions are there, but shortage of time is a common problem for everybody. My brain got hurt so much during the paper and I stuck at the first question for 5-10mins. I almost wanted to inform Ms Tan that I was sick and take the paper another day but I didn't want to take the paper alone so I continued. I am now glad it is over.

The PST students have fought a tough battle with the paper. Now everybody just hopes that it is a glorious one.

Tomorrow is Wednesday, which signifies GMP facilitation and BPT lab.. Can't a sick patient get a break???

I am going to try and sleep early today, in order to recover faster. I can't lay back now. The semester is slowly coming to an end and it is the last studying semester. So it is time to get ready and charge!!

Oh yes. There is going to be a total Solar Eclipse tomorrow morning. Watch as daylight turns instantaneously into darkness. It is a phenomenon that occurs once every don't know how many hundred years. It is going to be so meaningful to be able to see it in my lifetime.
It would be more meaningful if I could watch it with you...

unwell..

2009-07-20T18:20:00.003+08:00

I have fallen sick.

Nope, not love sick. But as in, fever sick.

My body finally reached it's limits. Surviving on only 4-5 hours of sleep everyday for the past 9 months. I didn't really see this coming, maybe the long day on Friday-Saturday aggravated the problem. I stayed awake for 22 hours on Saturday. I slept at 1.30am on Friday night, waking up at 6.30am to go swimming with Sherman and the rest. Was already feeling very tired and felt asleep at JJ. At night was Rui en's birthday party at kky's house and only left there at 3.45am due to my mom playing Mahjong. Reached home at 4.15am and only dozed off at 4.30am or so. Totally didn't sleep well at all and was woken up by my mom to eat at 11.

When I woke up, I felt horrible with sore throat and drinking lots of water doesn't seemed to help. The fever came at night when I reached home. Went to sleep early, although it wasn't a good night's sleep, waking up every now and then.

I wanted to be socially responsible and not go to school, but my mom still pestered me to go because I have GMP quiz today. The fever medicine helped as my body temperature went down but the fever came back after the quiz and I was chased home by Kairos and the rest of them, asking me to go back and rest. I didn't go home, but met mom to go see doctor.

I actually thought that I contacted Dengue Fever because I had sore throat, my fever comes and goes, headache and feeling very cold. In addition, I got bitten by a mosquito recently.

Consultation with the doctor was quite fast, thanks to IPT from last semester!

Doc: So hello Xiangjie, what seems to be the problem.
XJ: Eh.. I have... Sore Throat, Fever, Cough, runny nose, headache. My cough has phlegm, and it started on Saturday. Am I gonna die from H1N1?
Doc: Haha, don't worry. Let me take your temperature now.

My consultation took less than 5 minutes. Saved me lots of time by answering all questions that doc would ask. Hahaha.

Fortunately, he told me that I only had the common flu (although all cases start like that). And he's evil. He refuses to give me syrup and gave me tablets. I hate swallowing tablets. He said that syrup are for babies. Zzz.

I have 6 medications to use. Omg, I feel like the 2nd Michael Jackson now. Don't be surprised if you find me dying of cardiac arrest. LOL. Still, medicine are all gross.

There is PA term test tomorrow and I haven't really prepared for it yet. I don't even know where the notes are. I need to dig it out and study it today or else I am gonna die for my test tomorrow.

For now, let me do my APEL reflections first..

2009-07-17T22:56:00.002+08:00

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Today is my Mom's birthday. Better take this chance to post it before the clock strikes 12 and it's over.

Earlier, went to have dinner together at Ehub. I seriously think my lame-ness is inherited from my Dad. He is much lamer than I am. Can you guys imagine that? Lame-ness above me!! O_O.

Today's PA was like the first week's one. Doing stability studies on panadol tablets using HPLC. It was damn long, due to the shortage of HPLC machines and the waiting time required for results to be produced.

The rest of the day was as per normal. But, tomorrow is my niece, Koh Rui En's Birthday. Yay!! I prepared a present for her. Tomorrow gonna give it to her when I go to her party at kky's house. Looking forward to it!! =D

I realized that July got a lot of people birthday leh. I need to spend a lot of money during July. I think I need to save money during June every year. Hahahaha.

Many of my friends are face-booking around me. I am one of the rare ones that doesn't have it. They're also constantly asking me to make one so that they can play games with me and tag me or something like that. Hahaha. I'll see. I'll make it I got the time and somebody to help me with it. Hahahahaha

Alright. I'm stopping here so Bye Guys!! =D

-XJ.

and the clock strikes 12..

2009-07-15T23:36:00.002+08:00

Sleeping early has recently become my new sleeping habit, as in early in the morning that is. Everyday is project after project after quizzes, assignments and never ending work.

I am sick and tired of this.

Fortunately, today was a nice day for me to slack a bit.

School started at 12pm today, for GMP meeting with SJ and Carrissa. Not much progress, due to the simple fact that GMP is crazy. I don't really need to mention how sucky it is right people? You all should know by now. I have been whining over it more times than I can count.

Got back my PA quiz paper (the one which I was 2mins late for) and I did alright, I got a B or B+, I think. I shall work hard and try to get an A for term test next week! Miss Tan also went through revision with us during lecture time today. Hopefully I can remember everything she says next week. Hahaha.

BPT was 3hours long for this week. It was torturous. But we still talked a lot during lab and Mr U got really angry this time around. I guess we went overboard. Sorry Mr U! =/

After that we went to have Fish & Co at Tamp Mall with everybody! Zomg, had a lot of fun laughing at every single thing, Esp Meihui! Hahaha. The dinner was actually supposed to celebrate the July babies birthdays together, namely Yanie, Shobana and Boon Pin. It was just plain funny to fool them to blow out the candles because we actually prepared magic candles (which relight after getting blown out). Hahahaha. Obviously, they had a really hard time blowing them out. Hahaha.

The Fish & Co staff even asked the 3 of them to stand up on chairs and sang birthday song for them! Hahahaha. Cake time was equivalent to war time as the 3 birthday-girls/boy made sure that they get cakes on everybody's face. Lol.
The food was nice but ouch, total bill of $330. Hahaha. This is bad. I have been spending too much. Monday - Swensens, at night Seoul Garden, today Fish & Co. I'll need money to drop from the sky soon. LOL.

All fun eventually need to come to an end. Apparently after the whole fun episode, the clock strikes 12 and all of us are transformed back to our panicking selves, rushing home to prepare for GMP presentation tomorrow. Now as I scroll through my MSN list, I see lots of things like "GMP sucks" and all. Hahaha. Get used to it people!! It's the last studying semester! Although I don't like it myself. HAHAHAHA.

I only reached home at 10.20pm. This is bad, I have so many things to do, but so little time. Can't somebody please double my time for a day? So that I can finish my stuff, and still have time to sleep?!?!

-XJ.

Monday blues..

2009-07-13T23:12:00.003+08:00

Happy Birthday Shobana!! You're 19 already!! Be Jealous by the fact that I am still 18 and a long way from 19!! HAHAHAHA. Hope you liked the present that we got for you and also had a fantastic day today!!

Start of a new week, start of 5 days of torture. Or should I change it to 4? Since I didn't really suffer today.

Started school at 3pm today, owing to the fact that there is no GMP lecture at 9 today. Met up with the whole gang at Tampines Mall at 12.30pm (supposedly). But apparently the earliest to come was Shobana at 12.40pm. The rest came at around.. 1pm? Poor me just have to wait. Lesson learnt, it is bad to be early/on time. Be Late!! Hahahahaha.

Had dinner at Ehub's Seoul Garden with my parents at night and lots of funny things happen. I am actually quite amazed that my parents asked to eat Seoul Garden. Once in a blue moon.. Maybe I am going to strike lottery already!!

I have frequent headaches recently. My mom asks me to take Panadol. But I hate paracetamol!! I don't want to take it! It is disgusting and I forget what is the other drug that I learned that can relieve headaches. Arghhh.

GMP presentation is in sight, Semester exams is in sight, SIP is in sight, Graduation is in sight. Hope it all ends well! I am paying school fees for all these you know! Hahaha..

Lazy..

2009-07-12T01:27:00.002+08:00

I have been quite lazy these few weeks. I have not been going swimming on Saturdays. Probably because I am too tired to do so, with all the work that I have to do, who would actually wake up at 6.30am in the morning to go out and swim?

I am actually very tired. But somehow I just cannot get to sleep. Who or what is bothering me? I haven't got a single clue. It is 1am++ already and I am still here blogging.

Quite a number of my friends are starting to play Jubeat recently. Maybe it is because of my influence? Lol. I don't know if it is a good one though. Yes, I know it is damn fun. But guys, if you see this, please remember. Don't chiong so hard for the game. It is not worth it at all. Chionging would only waste your money. But if you really want to chiong, then I have nothing to say. You can chiong all you like.

Today ate free dinner at Eighteen's Chef. Didn't really see if there are pretty girls around because I was so hyped about eating the free dinner. Actually it is just a treat from Bryan after getting into top 16 in the recent world tournament. Should have asked him to treat Swensen's!! Damn!! Oh well, nevermind. At the very least I saved $6.40 for today's dinner. Hahaha. Thanks Bryan! =D

I am counting sheep as I type this now, trying to make myself sleepy so that I can fall asleep but apparently it is not very useful I must say. Maybe I can try counting something else. Since school is making me sleepy, I'll try counting.... Test Tubes? HAHAHAHA.

Alright, enough of being lame for the night. Should really get some sleep. You all should also get some sleep. It is when you grow. Good night everybody!! Hahaha.

-XJ.

TGIF..

2009-07-10T23:02:00.002+08:00

Yeah. TGIF.

The tedious long hours of lab for the week is over. Honestly, the every Friday PA lab is draining my energy week by week, with its crazy procedures for analysis of pharmaceutical products. I must admit though. Some of the tests are actually quite fun and interesting to do.. Just tedious.

Today is the usual PA lab, but we're going to test the tablets and capsules that we actually made in the first term during PMT lab!! Wooot. Nostalgic is the word. The briefing for today actually took 1hr 30mins, which is like half of the first 3 hours of lab. Almost fell asleep but with my uttermost determination, I didn't. Hahahaha.

There is actually something else that actually kept me from sleeping and feeling bored during lab today. Or should I say someBODY. Hahaha. There is a awfully cute girl working as our lab technician today and just looking at her working took the boredom away =P. Too bad she's attached. LOL! Sherman would know who is she! Hahaha.

Had MacDonald's for lunch with the gang today, opposite of school. There was so much fries. To the extent of just by looking, you feel full already. Hahaha. Damn the rain afterwards when we're going back to school. Mess up my hair. Zzzz.

2nd part of the lab is continuing of where we left off and updating the logbook with the results that we have and asking Ms Shahedah to endorse it by signing beside the raw data. We had the forever-lame post-lab after that and went through the previous week's post-lab where 100% failures for the cohort. The news got changed, it's not 100%. It's 95%. 3 people passed in the whole cohort of 70ish.. Yuck.

Once again, it's let off steam period.

All I want to say is this. Just phucking grow up. You all are 15, 16 years old. Not 5, 6 years old. There during dinner I was told you all about how I hated people nagging and quarreling during gaming. Here you all are, phucking each other up again just because of? Never lane together with you, never report missing heroes due to accident. Cb here, Cb there, phuck you, phuck him. What nonsense is this? Gaming is for relaxing, not for you all to get into fights. If you want to get into fights, don't play games. Go fight one on one real life to settle. It is much faster and it doesn't waste electricity. You give me the reason that you are stressed over something? Come on, be in MY shoes. Phucking projects dued like everyday of the week? Presentation in less than a week? Major tests in 2 weeks time? Handing in of projects in 3 weeks, Major Exams in 4 weeks and Attachment to donno-where in 1 and a half months. But still, do I give the same attitude I do to you or anybody? No. We're your friends, people to console or try to help you out when you come across something difficult. Not your punching bag and for you to scold vulgarities at us for such minor things. You say you hate people who have lousy attitude. You say they're stupid and you don't like playing with them. Do you think what you have done is different from them? Does it make you any better off than them?

Use your brain and think about it. You may think who am I to talk so much bullshit. But consider this, at the least reflect what you have done. Tell me you are totally right and did not do anything wrong. I don't care if you read this or not. I am seriously pissed off. If you are not happy about it, you know where to find me. I am not afraid to turn physical if I have to. Friends we were, yes we still are. After this, friends no more? Who cares. I don't need friends who are don't even think before they act.

Weekends are definitely worth looking forward to. Hopefully this would be a fulfilling one. =D

The month of july..

2009-07-09T21:19:00.002+08:00

Hello! It's Thursday, means tomorrow is TGIF day!! Although I have PA lab to survive through first. Awwww.

Quite some things were done for the past few days, and I am gonna try to remember as much as I can so that the post would look longggggggggggggger.. Hahaha.

Tuesday (7th July):

I was ALMOST late for lecture on Monday, I WAS late on for Tuesday's lecture. Just a little bit only. Luckily Miss Tan never scold or anything. It is not totally my fault actually. I went out of the house the same time but the bus hated me on that day and decided to come late.. Zzz.

During BPT lecture, we found out that Mr U's birthday is today!! He actually told us that! Maybe he is expecting presents? LOL. In the end, he just wanted to tell us that there are easy ways for us to remember things. Like his birthdate, 7/7/1949.
If you take 7 x 7, you will get 49. So if I ever see him again in 10 years again, I may be able to remember his birthdate!! Lol.. Still, Happy Birthday Mr U!!

GMP facilitation is after that and my, it is crazy. Lol. 10 people facilitation and on my question. SOOO Much to do. I am suffering now.

I realized now that I got cheated by Miss Tan in year 2. I remembered how I was telling her that semester 2.2 sucked for us as we had projects duedates, report duedates, quizzes, role play like everyday of the week. She told me that semester 2.2 would be the hardest and most jialat period of time for the PST cohort. If we survived that, year 3 would be much easier. With that in mind, I actually survived 2.2. BUT now, I am suffering as much as if not more than 2.2. Yes, only GMP project is nuts, BUT it alone is like 3-4 projects already. Arghhhh.

Wednesday (8th July):

Was having a ridiculous severe headache, due to the fact that I only had around 4 hours of sleep the previous night(2am-6am) because of GMP. After much determination, I got myself out of bed, out of the house and went to school. Was going to fall asleep but luckily I pulled through. Haha. Damn, waste a lot money today.

I fell asleep at like 10+ or so, because I was sooooo damn tired. Only woke up at.. 8 in the morning, and I had a stupid dream. I dreamed that I contacted H1N1!! Hahahaha. Horrible experience..

Thursday (9th July):

After waking up, I felt a lot better. Although my head was still spinning, but at least the pain is gone. Only had an hour of lesson for today. I totally forgot about the quiz luh. I only remembered that there is a quiz when I saw Kairos studying while walking towards ASc. Fortunately, the quiz wasn't too hard and I believe I can pass it at the very least.. Then went to get my hat. Yay, finally. Hahaha, lucky got people give me suggestion to get which 1. LOL.

I am doing the pre-lab for tomorrow's PA now, although I am kinda stuck. The USP contains so many damn words as though I am swimming inside. I don't mind doing the pre-lab but I just hope that it ends earlier, don't take up the full 6 hours. *whines*.

Tag Replies:

-Sho: Eh, don't stab people stab people. Dirty hands only. Somemore will get into trouble with police. Not worth it. Thanks anyway. Lol.

-Ryan: Lol. Waste money sia. I think I am not going to play that often anymore. Unless my Dad prints money luh. Haha.

Shocking news..

2009-07-06T22:40:00.002+08:00

Firstly, Happy Youth Day To Everybody!!!!!

Despite the fact my Youth day is not very exciting (because Polytechnics get no holidays but the whole school population are like youths), I still hope that everybody had their well deserved rest after the first week of school.

Woke up reluctantly today because I went to bed quite late last night. I am still suffering from the symptoms now, dozing off every now and then. Hopefully I'll sleep early today.

Was ALMOST late for school, yes, ALMOST is the word. But nevermind, Wallace himself is late also! Hahaha. Today is Yanie's Birthday! So Happy Birthday Yanie!!! Hope you enjoyed the day and liked the presents that you received!!

I think fate actually reads my blog!! It probably read the post about how I couldn't find pretty girls in school. These few days I have been meeting and seeing many pretty girls where I go leh! Be it, ASc, Business, Bookshop, whatever. Hope this carries on!! Hahaha.

BPT Lecture was an hour long and Mr U is super kind again. He didn't need us to hand in the reports for last week, and canceled this week's lab!! Hooray!!!

For PA, the quiz was whoa. I was late for the quiz. 2 minutes late. It may be a short time, but the atmosphere of everybody writing and you're not scares me quite a bit. Haha. After the quiz, Miss Tan asked how was the paper. Several people said that they couldn't finish the paper in the time limit (50mins). Miss Tan actually told us that it was supposed to be 45mins but she extended to 50mins for the first time in TP history. This is where the shocking news come in.

"100%......... Failures for Post-lab quiz"

Zomg, 100% failues. Everybody failed the post-lab quiz. That is crazy, I expected some failures, but all?!?! What about the geniuses!?!? This seriously gave a wake-up message to the cohort that PA is a subject that is not to be reckoned with.

Lecture carried on after that and my my, was it a whole chunk of information. I definitely suffered an information overload after the lecture. My brain feels damn packed and cramped. Fortunately, I learned some new stuff. Capillary Electropheresis!! That's a phrase! Not a word!! Hahahaha.

Went to TM to have dinner with the PCD gang after school, they wanted to celebrate Yanie's birthday so I went along. Only reached home at around 8.30 and here I am blogging. Hopefully tomorrow's a better/faster day. =D

Maybe it is time to wake up from the rhapsody. Maybe there wasn't a rhapsody in the first place.. Who knows.

-XJ.

dazing..

2009-07-05T21:56:00.003+08:00

I am just dazing and looking at the computer screen now. I don't know what to do.

I got PA quiz tomorrow and I haven't really prepared myself for it yet. Talk about studying eh?

I feel that I am going to fall sick soon. I still got drenched in the rain on the way home today. Hope I don't get sick or get H1N1! Choy!!!

Nothing much to talk about for today. Since like any other day, I eat, play, sleep later. Lol.

Gonna go off here, and would probably blog again for next week when blogger doesn't hate me and I have something to blog about. Hahaha.

*Edit: I realized that my Pharmaceutical Analysis(PA) Textbook, is damn useful. In addition to acting as a source for information, it is double-acting as something that I use to raise my laptop a little to prevent the bottom from overheating!! lOL!

-XJ.

2009-07-04T21:04:00.002+08:00

Finally! I can access blogger!!

Blogger seriously hates me. For some reason, I am not able to go to or login into blogger yesterday. Couldn't blog yesterday due to that.

So, lets start blogging from 2 days back.

Thursday (2nd July):

Guess what? No school day! Hurray. Sad to say, it is still not a resting day for me. Had to prepare stuffs for school, and I went to have a haircut. Lol.
Ms Shahedah asked me to cut my hair last Friday because she says my hair is too long and it doesn't comply to GLP. I'll need to tie it the next time I go for lab. Seeing that I will look more like a girl and 90% of the class would probably laugh at me, I went to cut my hair instead. My head feels light now. LOL.

Friday (3rd July):

School. And it is a crazy 6 hours lab. Did dissolution tests on Acetaminophen tablets (Panadol). Honestly, it was quite fun actually. The dissolution machine is kinda cute and cool too, especially when you see the tablet breaking up layer by layer. I know I sound SuaKa, but who cares. Lol.
Luckily, lab didn't take that long and it ended in around 3 and a half hours. Ended at 3.30pm. Too bad it is kinda late already and Meihui's plan of going K-box is ruined. Maybe Next time. Hahaha.
GMP meeting straight after lab, finalized on the allocation of groupings and work. Finally everybody is happy. I think.

Today (3th July):

Didn't go swimming today, partially due to my laziness and several people couldn't make it. Sherman working, YS didn't sleep for the past 2 days, Bradley has school carnival. I wanted to sleep late as well, so the swimming session was canceled for this week. Next week luh!!
I am blogging now, obviously. Lazying around the net, MSN and all. Waiting for people to entertain me when they see this. LOL. Come on people. Can talk to me now. Hahahaha.

Tag replies:

-Bradley: Bradley, please refrain from learning from me. It is not good for your character development. Lol.

-Lester: You too Lester, Be Gracious!! Bwhahaha.

-RYL: Yeah. I will. Thanks. =D

-sherman: Stabbing them back will make me no different from them, turning me into an animal and I will be scolding myself. Hahaha.

Respect..

2009-07-01T22:01:00.003+08:00

I have recently lost respect for some people.

I totally despise despicable people. I tried to be nice, refusing to listen to my friends comments and not trust you all that much. I tried to explain to my friends, saying how nice you all were and are not as bad as it seems. I did my best to know you all better, becoming friends.

And I got backstabbed. Straight in the back. Without a clue what was going on.

I put this out to people who backstabs or tries to irritate me.
Stop it.
It is childish, and it is getting on my nerves.
I don't like it at all.
Not when my true friends are also affected by your little lame stunts.
I hate to see my friends sad and your doings are not helping at all.
Continue your acts if you must,
but leave my friends out of it.
I promise that I won't give face again if such things happen again.
I WILL make you suffer.

That aside, I have also just found new respect for somebody!!

Mr U Tin Lin! (My Bioprocess Technology lecturer)

Honestly speaking, I actually have quite a hard time listening during his lecture at the beginning due to his accent. I would be either busy laughing, or get bored until I doze off to dreamland.

However, I realized that his life is unbelievably cool!! He has been teaching in Temasek Polytechnic for 10 years already! That means that when he started teaching in poly, I am a mere PRIMARY 3 student where I am still learning multiplication and division!

He got his Master's degree in chemical engineering (I think) in Melbourne University, at Australia in 1988. He got his Master's degree before I was borned. Whoa.

He has also been teaching for 26 years, in Universities and Polytechnics. Amongst the 3000++ chemical engineers who are working in Singapore, around 70% of them are actually taught by him!! Like 2100!!! OMG. It would be cool if next time if I became a bioprocess engineer and I find somebody who is also taught by Mr U as well!

He was also kind enough to help us with measuring the results from today's lab tomorrow because nobody wanted to go back to school tomorrow (we have no school).

I now think he's a kind and awesome lecturer!! I will study hard for BPT!! Must not disappoint him. Currently, there are no failures for BPT. I don't want to be the one to break that 0.

Haha.
I realized my butt aches now from the badminton session yesterday. Not my arms or legs, but my butt. I think it is because I swim every week. Therefore, my arm and leg muscles are not aching. I need to recommend myself to take "butt"-nadol. Panadol for the butt. lol!!

-XJ.

work out..

2009-06-30T22:38:00.002+08:00

Yesterday was a long school day like always.. I finished at 7pm and it was raining.

Fortunately, dad came and pick me up after school!! Although I did wait for half an hour, but I didn't need to be drenched in rain nor fight the go-home crowd on the buses at that time.

I fell asleep during BPT lecture. Oh well, who doesn't. It's sooooooo dry, the lessons. Esp when it reaches the calculations. Urgh..

Today is only half a day, seeing that I end school at 2pm. After that, went Tampines stadium to play badminton! Been like. 6-7 years (last played in primary 6) since I last played badminton.

So many people went. Me, Kairos, Shobana, Boon Pin, Saiffudin, Betilda, Sujun, Meihui, Zul, Jun You, Hafiz came and join us after awhile!! Luckily we booked 2 courts, or else not enough for all of us. Hahaha!
It was fun! I enjoyed myself a lot. At least it made me forget about the painful things I am going through now for 2 hours. The after effects are showing now though. My arms and legs are aching. Ow.. Nevermind, I didn't regret going. We should do this more often guys! Some other sport next time.

I'll start school at 1pm tomorrow. Doing my BPT report now. It is dued tomorrow. I am pretty much suffering from it. Actually was quite focused but as you can see, I side-tracked. Lol.

Concentration span: Unbelievable short. Haha.

I met a pretty girl on the bus today! I realized that it is so unfair. There are so many pretty girls in business school!! Urghhh. I think I went to the wrong school. Not saying my school don't have. But Business school like easier to find cause got more luh.

Yay. I can sleep late on Thursday because I have no school! Hooray!! But Friday is torturous. 6 hours lab.. T_T

end of june..

2009-06-28T22:34:00.003+08:00

Time to update the blog. Lol. It is Sunday already!!

On the 25th June, the reigning king of pop Michael Jackson passed away. According to reports, he died due to cardiac arrest.

As a kid, it is quite impossible to not know who is Michael Jackson. In fact, he's my favorite singer when I was young. How can anybody not be impressed by his movement-defying dance moves, like spinning then stand on his toes immediately and his signature move moonwalk? I must say that I was pretty shocked when I was told the news of him being dead. It was a sad moment in 2009 when Michael Jackson passed away. In addition, it was just 3 weeks before he starts his string of 50 comeback concert tours around the world. The only regret that I probably have is not seeing his performance live. Oh well, since it is a fact already, RIP Michael Jackson.

Coming back to my life,

Friday (26th): My Fridays are no longer free. I got 6 hours of lab every Friday from now on! That is totally crazy luh! Some more is for the same subject!! Miss Shahedah also asked me to cut hair, or else I am not complying to GLP (Good Laboratory Practices). But my hair isn't THAT long. Nevermind, I was having plans of cutting hair too. Hahaha.

This day is also Shannon's birthday, so Happy Birthday Shannon! Hope you enjoyed the day!

After school meet YS to pass Shannon's birthday present to her at Ehub. Went to White Sands, and went back to Ehub after that. Lol, bored ain't we. I was also proven right by my own theory (I know you will be laughing after seeing this YS. -.-) What happened after that, shall be remained as a secret =x

Saturday (27th): Woke up early in the morning to go swimming. I have to work out and train hard now. My NAPHA test is on the 2nd of September. If I don't get a Silver at least, I'll need to go into army 3 months earlier!! Nooo!!!

Went to catch Transformers in the evening. It was fantastic except for one thing. IT IS SO DAMN LONG!! I want to go Toilet!!! Hahaha. Nevertheless, it is still a great movie, must watch okay? Lots of action.

Sunday (28th): Finally can sleep late, but finally woke up due to my mom nagging me to go eat lunch. Hahaha. Went out with the peeps and as usual, had lots of fun and laughter. I am back now to prepare for school tomorrow as it would be a tough week like always..

Tomorrow many people I know are starting school, so I hereby wish you all good luck in the new semester!! Those who have exams, a even BIGGER GOOD LUCK FOR YOU!! Haha.

Lesson Learnt..

2009-06-25T20:00:00.003+08:00

Life is not fair isn't it? That is what people always say. Unfortunately, they are right. I just hate it when people are right!!

Back last time where I had a straightforward nature, speaking my mind, saying anything and everything openly, people didn't like me. Due to my attitude, people tend to stay away from me to prevent getting shot by me. I had not many true friends who are willing to help me when I am in need.

I came to know that my straightforward attitude actually hurts others, despite me meaning no harm. I decided to tone down a lot, and tried to keep "hurtful" things inside me and not say them out.

I have toned down, becoming a more peace-loving person. TOO peace-loving in fact. Because I take things less seriously, people are starting to climb over my head. Trying to gang up on me? Come on people, think again. I just wanted to avoid friction. I always trying to accommodate everything and you all are getting worse and worse. Thank god that I have a very high tolerance level, or you would have died, given my temper. This has made me not in a very good mood recently. What a way god tries to perk you up eh? Through things that makes you feel worse.

However, as a blessing as disguise, I finally see who my true friends are. People who actually care and get angry when such things happen to me. I realized I have quite a number of true friends now. Thanks people! You all know who you all are, people of Wednesday. Haha.

This is the start of the first week of school and nothing has been going well. Lectures are still excruciatingly boring, and I am doing my best to listen and not fall asleep. Tomorrow is even more jialat. 6 hours of LAB!! Same Subject!! OMG. I am trying to rush the pre-lab now as well. Argh. Gross.

As a matter of fact, Primary/Secondary/JCs are all starting school next week already. June holidays are over and now they have to look forward to September holidays now. Good luck people!!

-XJ.

school..

2009-06-22T22:03:00.004+08:00

I did not blog recently due to my pretty obvious laziness and I was unable to access blogger when I left like blogging. Maybe blogger doesn't want me to blog?

School reopened already. Unlike people from primary/secondary/not sure about JC, we do not have the extra 1-2 weeks "extension" for our holidays. Probably due to the fact that we are not under MOE. But I feel that Poly students should also have extension as well. Since MOE-schools are advised to extend the holidays to give the incubation period of the influenza virus to reduce the chance of H1N1 spreading due to students coming back from the affected countries, I believe it should also be the case for Polytechnic students.

I am saying this not that I want the holidays badly (c'mon, I don't want to graduate 2 weeks later), but for the same reason. Primary and Secondary schools usually have a population of 1000-2000 and around 100 staff? On our side, if I remembered correctly, our staff alone is almost the same size as the student population of Primary and Secondary schools. Not to mention that our student population stands over 15000. If the virus were to spread, wouldn't it spread faster and easier in Polytechnics as compared else where? So I don't know why we don't have the 1-2weeks extension.

Anyway, first day of school. Obviously glad that I get to see my friends and they're all doing fine. Like always, the group is hyped up and taking every little chance to laugh at Meihui for the crazy things that she does. Haha.
On the other hand, BMT students start their SIP(attachment) today. People like Sherman and Kenneth are posted to K.K Hospital and Tan Tock Seng Hospital respectively. I believe Sherman had a fantastic first day at work today because he said that there were 2 pretty girls who are ex-TP students helping him with his work today! Kenneth, being the only person in the cohort to be posted to virology in TTS to work with virus would probably have a hard time though.

With the BMT students at attachment, I realized that the year 3 PST students are officially ruling ASc now. There is BIO, but we seldom see their around also. Lol. Actually, it is still the same except that we won't see BMT students.
A special guest came to school today! Jasmin!! She came to school to find the PCD gang. I was included also, not in the PCD gang but Jasmin had something for me. Apparently she went to Penang and bought stuff for us! Thanks for the gift Jasmin!! I am touched that I am still remembered. Hahaha.

Now that school has started, I think that it is time to work hard. I probably would have less time to blog, but I'll still do my best to find time to blog. Hopefully the blog would be more alive and less dead. Haha.

-XJ.

standing again..

2009-06-19T00:19:00.004+08:00

Went to school today (18th June, Thurs), for something I have been mentioning since don't know how many posts ago (If you don't know what I am referring to, read a few posts before this or just ask me.)

Stayed in school unusually long today, starting at 10am and only leaving to go home at 5pm or so. Where do I find so much determination to do so? Probably trying to bury myself in work. Finally, after this few days, signs of progressing with the project is showing up.

Been falling asleep frequently on the way to school on the bus, not to mention missing the stops. I actually missed like 7-8 stops away from where I am supposed to alight. Fascinating, isn't it? I feel so tired despite it being holidays now. I can fall asleep almost anywhere, anytime, but just not my bed at night. What a weird sleeping habit I have.

I am damn pissed with some people recently, with their stupid phucked-up attitude. You today not happy? My problem ah? Need to show it in my face? I wasn't the one who offended you okay. I am a human, not a sandbag for you to let off steam just because something happened to you or whatever. I don't care. If you're pissed, and don't want to be disturbed then just tell me to leave you alone. I am sure that if you said it in English, I would be able to understand. I am also not in a good mood recently and I still have to put up with your nonsense? Please, if I didn't know you, I would probably had shot you with my fantastic vocabulary. Now try it for yourself man. I'll make you eat your own medicine. I don't need to state names. You know who you are.

With that out of my head, I would like to give a big thank you people who have MSN-ed, MSG-ed, tagged me and trying to console me when I am feeling my worst. Don't worry about me, I'll do my best to get back to myself ASAP.. I don't really like my current self actually.

I am quite impressed by the rubik's cube recently. According to websites, the rubik's cube has exactly 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 permutations, which is approximately forty-three quintillion. I was like whoa? I was having some problems solving it, but luckily Sherman knows how to solve it. After nagging at him to repeat the formulas like around 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 times, I finally got the hang of it. Haha. But I think I look like a study geek if I play it too often. I should take breaks sometimes.

School is starting. And I am totally not looking forward to it. I still haven't cleared my sleep debt yet.

Tag replies:

-Lester: Eh. Please be less vulgar/violent can anot. -.-

-sherman: I am gonna ignore them already. They got what they deserve, trying to make a fool out of me.

-RYL: Hahaha. Thanks princess, but probably not this time around.

-XJ.

giving up?

2009-06-17T23:30:00.004+08:00

I am only 19 this year and I am already bored. Life is boring. Even the holidays. Doing the same thing over again and again for years, just for survival? Don't really see the point there.

I am tired. Very tired. Unless a meteorite hits my head and let me find the point. I think I am better off sleeping forever. I just hate the feeling of waking up in the morning, I need to sleep more.

Sleeping early is not going to work for me. Insomnia is not helping me with sleeping early to not being tired. It is getting worse recently. I can go on my bed at like 11pm and only fall asleep at 1.30 or 2am. I don't even know how I actually pass the time like this. I don't know what is causing it either. Lol, call myself a biomedical science student.

Talking about being a science student, are science students really that cocky? Do they all think that they are just so smart that everybody else is nothing? Something happened in school recently that made me think about this.
I was at the business school canteen, having my long-awaited lunch. While eating, there was these bunch of "science" students sitting beside my table. They were making quite a bit of noise, to the extend of it being irritating. I KINDLY asked them to quieten down so that they won't cause a nuisance to the other people and me. They gave me the cocky face and addressed me "A lame business school" student. The point was not that, but it was the cocky face that pissed me off. They thought they were super smart, being science students and start calling me with microorganism names (How childish can kids get nowadays?). One even tried to act smart, calling me "Pseudo Aerunosa". Pissed, I said it in his face : "I am pretty sure that Dr Alex Lee said it was "Pseudomonas Aeruginosa" when he taught me 2 years ago as a year 1 student." With that, the people around started laughing at the lame name of "Pseudo Aerunosa". Tsk. This would teach people not to judge people by looks and never be a damn showoff. I know I look like a year 1 but come on, when I was walking they weren't even borned. Zzz.

Been the same this few days. Going to school in the morning for GMP project, which is getting on my nerves. It is so difficult, and it has the lowest weightage out of all my subjects this semester.

The most I can look forward to for this week would be catching Monsters Vs Aliens with Sherman and the rest of the people this Friday night. Hope we get good seats. Apart from that. Nothing much is really happening for the last week of my school holidays. Maybe I can start wishing that something fun or entertains me happen within these few days? Just for me to enjoy the last of my not-so-fun holidays.

-XJ.

confused..

2009-06-16T21:32:00.002+08:00

I am confused. I don't know what to do. Due to this, I am suffering. I have mixed feelings about this. Will everything be the same again? What is the same again that I want? I am not sure myself. I will lose myself this way, definitely.

Unable to return to myself? That is a risk that I have to take. If it all fails... the rhapsody will come to an end.

About what? It is a secret. I am not gonna say it. Hopefully time will help me to recover.

This is the last week of my school holidays.
Which inevitably shows that the deadline of the GMP report is closing in.
Rushing now, wishing hard it will end soon.
Concentrating has never been one of my strengths and things happening around me is not helping me with it.
Always giving a happy look,
trying to bring laughter to my friends,
hiding the painfulness that is within.

Who do I turn to when I am down?
Who do I go to when I need to let out my true emotions?
Who would give me that listening ear of theirs and let me talk about my troubles?

I just want to find that somebody.

-XJ.

Rhapsody..

2009-06-14T11:42:00.008+08:00

Yeah. I know I haven't been blogging these few days. I was too tired. I need to get back the sleep the I lost during last term. With the 2-3am late nights and waking up at 7 every morning, who won't be tired? But nevermind, I am here to blog now. Let's start with Thursday.

Thursday (11th June):

One of the sad days that I have to go back to school. It is for the sake of the GMP report. Since my group was quite behind time, we decided to meet earlier and more often in order to catch up. The usual happened, camped in the library for 4-5 hours trying hard to do GMP. We could not really do much since Kiki was at Malaysia and most of the values for calculations were with her. It is alright, we'll just have to work faster and harder next week when we meet again.

Friday (12th June):

Happy Birthday Dad!!

Happy Birthday Rachael!!

12th June is Dad's Birthday! How old is he? I am not very sure (Hahaha, what a son right). I think he is.. 46 now? This day is also the day Rachael celebrated her 20th birthday. Although it is not on the exact day itself, there were still quite a number of people who turned up, including me. We had lots of fun and laughter, not to say the food that we ate were very nice too. I kinda feel guilty that I didn't celebrate Dad's birthday on the day itself. D:

Saturday (13th June):

Talking about this makes me piss off. What the phuck is this. YOU WERE THE ONE THAT ASKED ME TO CALL WHEN I AM GOING HOME, AND YOU SCREAM AT ME IN THE PHONE WANTING TO KNOW WHAT I CALLED FOR? You ask me whether I wanted to have dinner with my friends, or with you all. I know you are gonna give the screwed up attitude if I said I am going to eat with my friends so I let you decide. After trying to be nice, what do I get in return? Your nonsensical screaming again, asking me to decide. I tell you I am going to eat with my friends, you show me the fucked-up attitude and hang up on me. What is this. Don't I have freedom? I am 18. Not 8. I am in Poly year 3. Not Primary 3. You asked me what I wanted, When I decide, you find it not going your way and you scream and shout, scream and shout. Are you an animal? Wild beast? I don't know anymore. Ask yourself, dumb.

Sunday (14th June):

Got woken up by a call from the animal at 11. Asking me to wake up to cook maggie noodles for my little brother who needs to go for tuition at 12noon. Reluctantly, I woke up, and cooked for my brother. And now I am here, blogging. It is raining quite heavily now. I don't know if I should to go out today. I shall see how..

Okay. As I promised. I shall post the pictures of the Zoo trip on Wednesday. I am only going to post some, because if I posted everything, it will be like.. 1000 photos or so I think.

There are still more. Maybe I'll post them again. See how. Hahaha.

Tag replies:

-Lester: Lol. You damn kid. Come to my blog and tell me that, you're giving me a damn tag?!?! Hahahaha.

-RYL: Oh well. Too bad. She's busy. No choice ah =P

Zoo trip..

2009-06-10T22:55:00.002+08:00

Woots! Today is the long awaited trip to the Singapore Zoo with the PST people!!

Woke up early in the morning, and met Meihui at Pasir Ris MRT station at 8am to take MRT to AMK because we are supposed to meet everybody at 9.15 there. We reached a little earlier than expected despite the fact that Meihui was late. Hahaha.

Shobana reached there even earlier and we met Boon Pin on the way to meet Shobana. We went the NTUC fairprice in the basement to stock up because we know that the prices of food and drinks in the Zoo are a rip-off. While shopping, Kairos, Rachael, Glenn and Sujun came and meet us when they reached too. After a long long debate over what to get and what not to get, we met up with Saifuddin and Betilda and took 138 to the Zoo!! The bus ride was nothing much because I kinda dozed off on it =P.

Saw Yanie, Ruibing and Zoe at the entrance to the zoo and we're off!!

Like always, lots of funny funny things happened during the trip and since it was damn long, I shall let pictures do the talking for me. But I'll only upload them after I get them from Shobana or whoever is sending it to me. I'll do it ASAP, I promise. But the point being, I enjoyed the trip a lot and had lots of fun!! =D

Tomorrow is project meeting for GMP in school. No matter how much I don't like it, I still have to go do it because need to hand in the stupid 40 page report that I was whining about on the first day when school reopens. Urghhh. Disgusting.

Friday is Eeeeeee's (Rachael's) Birthday party!! We're sure gonna have lots of of fun again!! =D

Tag replies:

-RYL: Lol. Where is my GF? I don't know. I think I lost her somewhere in her school... Hahaha.

-XJ.

Happy Birthday!

2009-06-07T13:39:00.002+08:00

Hey all. Have been busy these few days due to the preparation of term tests so I don't have the time to blog these few days. I still have 1 last paper tomorrow (GMP) in the morning.

That aside, yesterday was a really long day for me.

First of all, It is my niece's one year old birthday yesterday! In addition, it was also the house warming of my auntie's new house. So both events are held together. I shall touch more on that later.

Friday night, couldn't sleep for some reason. Kept on rolling around and still couldn't sleep. Finally fell asleep at about 3am. Was woken up by my dad at 0630. Met Sherman, YS and the rest to go swimming again. Lol. Not swimming for a week really has it's drawbacks. Out of practice, got tired just swimming a lap.

Left JJ earlier yesterday because my dad came to fetch me home to get ready to go third aunt's house. The first reaction I got after looking at her house was.. AhMahGawdd. It is really scary. it has a swimming pool, it is 3 stories high. And there are like. 5-6 Plasma TV's everywhere (1 in each room). My best bud cousin, KKY, even had a karaoke system in his OWN ROOM!?! Ah?? In addition to that, at the top level, there was a room, just for singing. The Karaoke system is one thing, the HUGE plasma TV was another, BUT, there is even A POOL TABLE IN THE DAMN ROOM! HOW WTP IS THAT?! Zzz. Crazy. Pool table at home, in a Karaoke room.

Maybe you all won't understand what I am talking about now. I shall upload some pictures that I took when I am free.

Met many of my cousins and relatives and they were talking about how I changed. Lol? Did I change that much? The longest the never see me is at most. 4 months? Since they saw me during CNY. Nevertheless, the question still comes. "Eh? Where is your girlfriend?"

Everytime, without fail. This question always gets popped up of nowhere whenever I see my relatives. Answer I would give? "Aiya, where got girlfriend? Wait for you to introduce only!" LOL. En ni Jie Jie even funnier. "You don't have meh? That that one that that.. (something funny, if you want to know, ask me on MSN. Hahaha)"

Seriously, all my nephews and nieces are really adorrrrrrrrable. It's hard to explain. Just get the point that they're adorrrrrrrrrrable. I spent like 6hrs at third aunt's new house. Only left at 2.30am. When I reach home and finally can get to sleep. It was 3.30 already. Hahaha.

Got woken up at 12 today. To have lunch. Should be going out later, despite having tests tomorrow. Don't worry! I have revised last week!

Tag reply:

-RYL: Hahaha. Can't blame you, that's a fact. Lol.

-XJ.

Exhausted..

2009-06-04T22:36:00.002+08:00

I am totally exhausted. I have been having late nights and waking up early due to school. I can feel the cells and my muscles going crazy in my body and my eyelids looking for every moment it can to close and make me drift off to sleep.

But I simply can't. Due to the unfortunate fact that I have to study for term test.

Basically what is sustaining me now is the thought of holidays the following week. But my holidays ain't really much for me to look forward to. Have to rush GMP report and presentation since they're due on the first week of school reopen. Zzz. School sucks the soul out of me man. My eyes are about to close as I am typing this also.

What made it worse is, many of my friends are already having holidays. Poly some already finish their exams and I only started today. Secondary/Primary/JC are all having their holidays also. Apparently, the whole world is having their holidays already except my cohort. Haiz..

And Yes. It seems like I got a date for next Thursday. I have a date with GMP. Have project meeting in order to try and finish as much of the report/presentation slides we can so that we won't be panicking that much when the time comes.

Reporting my current situation. I've been trying hard not to look at girls! LOL! Notice I used the word "trying". Heh. Cannot fully don't look at right? That would make me gay Hahaha!! So lenient a bit okay? =P

Today's BPT Term test was a killer. The ridiculous calculation question was a freaking 16 marks. Teacher told us design of bioreactor not tested!! But it came out for this question!! The whole cohort died man!! It was crazy. Everybody was whining and complaining after the paper that we got cheated (PST students always get cheated. Don't know why.) Some students with fantastic memory were able to do but they didn't have enough time so they didn't finish. AhMahGawddd. After minus-ing the 16 marks from calculations, I predict that the highest score I can get is 34/50. Which is only 68%. That's like a C+. There goes my hope of an A for BPT.. =(

Leaving that aside, tomorrow's PMT! Hope there is still space in my brain to store PMT stuff! Is there a way to activate like the other 95% of my brain that is not used now so that I can ace the paper tomorrow huh? C'mon any genius scientist, come out with some drug that allows that leh!! =/

Tag Replies:

-Lester: Eh. Lester, as a kid, can you be less violent able. Lol!! Everything fight fight fight only. Hahaha!

-ongruibing: Don't worry lah. I most probably will go since so many people going. Eh! I cannot look at chiobu already! Later kena scolding. Hahahaha!

-RYL: Lol. The performance was a sucesss! You didn't screw up what! Hahaha! You worry too much sometimes. Hahahaha! Relax!! XD

-sherman: Whoaa. Sherman. You write speech ah. Hahaha! And yeah yeah. You and your fantastic theories. Although I kinda agree with them =P. Regarding stepping many boats, I can swim! LOL!!!! JKJK!

-XJ.

=o..

2009-06-01T23:24:00.003+08:00

Aiyoooo. I really want my holidays now. Holidays are so cool. I can't believe that I actually missed school during my last holiday. That is retarded of me. Hahaha.

How can I even miss school? I rather bore myself to death now than commit suicide through studying now. At least bore to death is by doing nothing, more relaxed. Lol.

Although I'm still in this week, Plans for next week are already in place. There is GMP paper on Monday, but after that I am gonna go out to celebrate! Where? No idea. Hahaha.

Tuesday is probably gonna be a free day for me, since nothing much to do but a good friend of mine is coming back from Dalian on this day! His name is Travis Lim and maybe some of the PRCS students reading my blog would know him. Yeah, top O level express student of my batch(2006). He went there to study I think, his poly sent him there. Lol. Where is my chance?

Wednesday will be outing with the PST people. The PCD gang wanted to go to the Zoo. Hmmm. Been awhile since I went there, but paying to smell animal poo is like abit. Ahhhh. Nevermind, I am sure it will be very fun! Cause a lot of people going!! =D

Thursday would also be a free day. Nothing on. Who wants to date me? Tell me in advance! Hahahaha!

Friday is.. Rachael's Birthday BBQ party! Hahaha. She invited me last week. How can I not go right? Rachael leh! In addition, it is also my dad's birthday (12th June)!! Whoaaa, Confirm busy day for me le. Hahahaha.

Come to think of it, today is already June 1st already. Half a year just flew by like that. Whoa ah? Time passes so fast. And I used to think that one year is very long when I was little. 365 days to my birthday seemed so distant.. Now I am hoping for time to slow down. Hahaha.

People of the day!:

I come to realized that I stopped at year 2 and that was for the first half of year 2. So I should actually continue with the second part.

Person #13: Kairos (Pharmaceutical Science Technology)

Hoho, never would I forget him in my life man. Unless I get bang in the head and lose my memory or I suffer from Alzheimer's Disease. What to say.. He's probably the year 2.2 Version of Xiang Ying from my year 1 group. Totally random and loves to bully me although I usually prevent that from happening through preventive measures. A very determined person, Plays damnnnnnnn hard and works damnnnnnnnn hard as well. He's not scared to show people how he feels, for example who he doesn't like and all and it usually leads to hilarious moments in school/class. For some reason, he looks like a Chinese despite being Malay and often gets mistaken by people to be Chinese. He used to be annoyed that the fact but I think he's used to it already. Hahaha. He's also in the same class as me now, in semester 3.1. Nor-ma-lly, we would make jokes out of everything under the sun(This sentence is an inside joke, Hahahaha). I am glad that I made such an awesome friend man. Hahaha!!

Person #14: Shobana (Pharmaceutical Science Technology)

Zomg, the genius of the group. Our quizzes, tutorial, projects, assignments always rely on her. Without her, I think I won't even remember the deadline for project submission or when is there a quiz. She studies insanely hard and is without a doubt very smart. Just the person for me to count on for my calculation questions.. Hehehe. Alsoooo, she plays hard as well. Just like Kairos do. I think she's the only person who has come closest to keep Kairos in control and prevent him from doing crazy stunts. Hahahaha! Knowing her is a little bit scary though. Cause when you look at her lab report, you get a shock out of my puny life. My report is 15 pages and I thought it is long. Look at Shobana's and I see 30. LOL! Exaggerating? Not at all! She is also in the same class with me and Kairos now. Yay! Another amazing friend I made in my torturous year 2 life. Hahaha.

I think without the both of them above, my sem 2.2 would be very alone and I'll probably emo to death although I did make more friends later. I'll blog about them the next time. Hoho. I am sleepyy.. =/

Tag replies:

-lester: Yeah yeah Lester!! You see! They still call themselves friends somemore! HAHAHA. I get scolding from a girl for looking at girls, they should support me what! Look at what happened!! Kns right!! =P

-RYL: Hahaha, busy busy busy. Forever busyyy and blur. No worries though. I am very sure you won't screw up. You practiced so hard for it right? See what happened for your SYF. Just take it easy!! Good luck!! =)

Memories..

2009-05-31T21:05:00.008+08:00

Yesterday was a long day.

Woke up very early in the morning, not for swimming but for going to my little brother's school for Parent-teacher meeting. I know I am not a parent but basically I am there to translate just in case my parent's English language cannot make it. Hahaha. Let the pictures do some talking first.

Hmm.. nothing much right. Just a normal neighbourhood school. Not to me though. It is my brother's primary school now, but it also WAS my primary school. Hahaha. It sure brings back lots of memories for me. Looking at the canteen, the hall, basketball court brings me back long time ago, where I was just like my brother. In primary school. My brother's form teacher this year is a teacher that taught me before.. In primary 5, music I think. She remembers teaching me, but vaguely only. What's funny is she realized that she's old when I told her I graduated 7 years ago. Hahaha. Of course, being me at the basketball court, natural response is jumping and I could reach the basketball rim with little effort. Whoa. I seriously grown taller man. *Sigh of relive*. LOL.

After meeting the teachers, it is breakfast! Ate and went to look visit my great-grandmother who was discharged for a month or so already.

I only took one picture with her. But I'm too lazy to post the last one. Maybe next time bah. Hahaha.

The term tests are this coming week but I am already looking forward to the next week. Holidays mah. How can we not look forward to holidays right? Definitely, I will need to study hard though. I did quite well for the PMT term test that I got cheated by my teacher and I am not gonna waste it. I shall work hard!!

Tag replies:

-xiaodi: Argh sian lo. One of my papers got postponed. It is gonna be in my holidays. Disgusting.

-RYL: Okay okay, I'll stop. Anddd I do look at my books and notes okay! Don't make it sound like I don't study. And yeah. Miss you. But can't do anything bout it since you're in school and we're both busy leh.

-sherman: Lol. Whateverrrr Sherman! Tomorrow is your first term test paper, you should be studying!! Not mocking at me!!

-Sho: Another haolian one. Go study lah! You got your powerpuff girls to entertain okay =P.

Urgh. H1N1 finally hit Singapore already. It was pretty much expected and we can't really do anything about it. All we can do is just stay vigilant and make sure we stay healthy.

People that are prone to getting sick easily, please take care of yourselves alright? You all know who you all are, just be careful.

After school today. Had dinner at Simei's Eighteen Chef. Forever Eighteen Chef. Why? Because Alex always ask us to go. Lol. I don't know what to say lah. However, today I was kinda glad that we went to eat there because there was a new staff there. A young girl =o. She's kinda blur but who cares, the important thing is she's cute. LOL. I think we can go eat Eighteen Chef everyday already. Opps!! I'm not supposed to look at girls, or somebody would scold me =P.

Went back to White Sands to play arcade awhile. Jubeat got people playing. No choice. Basketball it is. Alamak.. See the score sian 1/2 already. *Record: 729*.
And I'm only playing like. 630-680. Crazy person. Saw him play and he is retarded although I am not in a very good position to say that. Hahaha. Still got to play Jubeat in the end and I sure need more practice..

Saw somebody who looked very ALIKE to somebody I know. I think I recognize the wrong person in the end because apparently that wasn't who I thought she was. Maybe it's her twin sister? But from what I know, this person don't have sister ah, only 2 brothers. Hahaha.

Tomorrow's no school Friday is gone again, because I have to go to school for GMP meeting. The group wants to finish question 1 and 2 in preparation for Term test on the 8th June. Talking about 8th June, GMP got changed to that day. The first day of my holidays. There goes my perfect weekend. =(

Alright. I'm going off now to sleep, or else tomorrow no energy to do project.

lost..

2009-05-26T22:50:00.004+08:00

Actually I came to see this like quite something ago. My care person(form teacher), Ms Roziyana showed it to us during APEL lesson. I forgot when though. Just thought that I could share.

*Note* This is not made by me

[Read this only when you read backwards:
I refuse to believe I am part of the lost generation.]

I realized this may a shock but
"Happiness comes from within"
is a lie, and
"Money will make me happy".
So in 30 years I will tell my children
they are not the most important thing in my life.
My employer will know that
I have my priorities straight because
work
is more important than
family.
I tell you this
Once upon a time
Families stayed together
but this will not be true in my era
this is a quick fix society.
Experts tell me
30 years from now I will be celebrating my 10th anniversary of divorce.
I do not concede that
I will live in a country of my own making.
In the future
Environmental destruction will be the norm.
No longer it can be said that
My peers and I care about this earth.
It will be evident that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic.
It is foolish to presume that
There is hope.

-And all of this would come true, unless we choose to reverse it.-

Now read the above backwards.

Haha. Inspiring? I don't know. But apparently WE, the people who are born in the 1990s are labeled as the "lost generation". So we are now supposed to work harder and care for people around us more? Save the earth? Yeah, provided I have the time. I can't even sleep enough to save myself. I will most likely try my best at least. Lol.

Enough with the inspiring speech and all. Back to reality. Yesterday's GMP quiz was nuts. It was quite difficult. However!! I did see something that I thought to be EXTINCTED in Polytechnics. And it is........... MCQ questions! Omg. I never thought I would ever see MCQs in a Poly quiz paper. LOL. Guess I am not as suay as I thought to be. Oh well, nevermind. It is over, somebody taught me to forget what is over and work harder for future papers =). I shall just do that.

I also came to realized that year 3 students are very poor things. We are so used to sleeping late in the night, like 2-3am. When the chance comes for us to sleep early, like 10.30pm or so, it makes us (or at least me) so guilty. It just seems weird that I am sleeping early today. I have this feeling that I something that I didn't do despite the fact that there is nothing to be done. Ugh.. I don't know about other people or people from other schools. But I feel this way now and I hate it a LOT.

I shall work hard, it is just for a few more weeks and I can have a short break already.. Hope it all ends soon.

Timetable..

2009-05-24T23:06:00.003+08:00

Aiya. Tourney today. Top 4. Yijie's Fault La!! Kns. =P

I came to realize that the JuBeat arcade music game is very fun! Hahaha!! It's so cool somemore!!

Term Test ScheduleTerm Test Time Table for KOA XIANGJIE

Student	:	0703981A KOA XIANGJIE
Academic Year	:	/
Course	:	DIPLOMA IN BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE

Subject	Code	Date	Start	End	Venue
Current Good Manufacturing Practice	APH3002	3 Jun 09 (Wed)	17:00	18:30	IT07-03-11 (LT5)	29
Bioprocess Technology	APH3005	4 Jun 09 (Thu)	17:00	18:00	IT07-03-11 (LT5)	73
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Technology	APH3004	5 Jun 09 (Fri)	17:00	18:30	IT07-03-11 (LT5)	26

As evident from what is up there, the term test timetable for this semester is out. Obviously, after looking at the timetable, there are good things and bad things.
Let's start with the bad ones first:

Why the hell are the timings for all 3 subjects so ridiculously lame?!?! 5.00pm in the evening!! Argh. That's lame. It means that on friday, I can't go out and celebrate for the full day or party around! Need to wait until after the paper, which is 6.00pm or 6.30pm. Sucks.

The next thing is that Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Technology should be the first paper mah. Why? Because it has calculations and I suck at it. So, Must clear the paper with calculations first. Okay maybe this 1 abit selfish on my part. Since it only applies to me. Heh heh...

The good things:

Firstly it is the fact that there is only 3 subjects luh. 3 is little as compared to BMT students (5) and my past year 1 year 2 life (5-6). The number of subjects tested is very very important. I'm sure all of you people reading this now would understand what I mean right? Needless to say, obviously the lesser the number of papers, the better!

The next good thing is. I know where is LT5 (The venue)!! Hahaha. Maybe this is a little retarded. But knowing the venue is good. Because I can afford for dily-daly and stroll to LT since I don't have to look around for it. Hahaha!

Okay. I think I should be more panicky about GMP quiz tomorrow instead of blogging about how the term test timetable sucks and all. So, Till next time people! =D

closing eyelids..

2009-05-23T22:59:00.003+08:00

I am studying for GMP now. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Haha. It is because I was doing that in the previous post of mine. I think. Studying for GMP quiz for supposedly Friday. However, I don't know to be happy or sad. The quiz got postponed again to next Monday. This week has been postponed twice already. It was supposed to be on 18th May. But Wallace is sick on that day. So it got changed to Friday. At the last minute of Friday, if got postponed again to the following week. Haha.

I didn't post these few days was because I was too lazy to do so ah. I shall do so today then.

Thursday (21st May): It was a school day for me, but due to graduation ceremony, half of the day's lesson was cancelled. Yay! Despite that, poor PST students still had to stay back in school for project meeting for PMT as the project submission due date is the following day, Friday (22nd May). It is crazy, seeing like half of my class at the Library, and almost everybody had a laptop infront of them. We'll probably be the first table to be targeted by robbers if they're planning anything. Hahaha.

Friday (22nd May): Was supposed to have GMP quiz. But at around 11.30am, I recieved a message from Kairos saying that GMP quiz is postponed to the following week again. I was so happy then because I wasn't prepared to do the quiz yet. As a celebration, went out with friends in the afternoon. Hahaha.

Saturday: Woke up at 6.30 after only having less than 5 hours of sleep to go swim! Yay! Today was 1 man short again. This week around, QW came but YS said that he was too tired to join us. So it is 4 people again. Desmond actually came in the end. So it is 5 people instead. So damn tired after swimming, thought that I would die anytime soon. World War 5 actually happened today, but too lazy to go into the details and since it doesn't really concern me much, I shall not talk about it also.

Now at home, blogging. My body is at it's limits already. It is at the verge of breaking down. My eyes are about to close and I still have to study for GMP. That, is disgustingly boring. D:
But nevermind. Just work hard for a few more weeks and I'll have some break already! =D

Tag replies:

-Jasmine: Lol. You're always kidding about everything.. Hahaha.

-RYL: Haha, Princess don't die ah. Must survive this period of hardship then enjoy the holidays! =D.

-sherman: Eh. I don't know what you're talking about what birds of feather are made for each other. My english ain't that good. Mind speaking in simple english?? Lol.

Cheated..

2009-05-20T22:16:00.006+08:00

If time would turn back to the past, I still hope that I would meet you..

If meeting you would make me suffer, I am willing to suffer once again..

Argh. Today the whole PST cohort got cheated.

The quiz today. Is a written disaster. It is not a quiz at all. It is a damn TERM TEST. Literally. The cover page wrote there, "Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Technology Term Test 1". WTP ! It has a freaking 10-15% weightage over the overall subject grade. No wonder it is 1hr 30mins luh. Irritated. I got shocked half dead when I saw the paper.

I honestly think that it is illegal to give students term tests before the term test week. It is totally crazy. We do not have enough time to prepare for it, and with so many projects and stuff, where are we going to find time?? It is nuts. Can I sue them? LOL! But now I am scared that this Friday's GMP will have the same outcome. *shivers*

Hmm. Today got lab. Since some of my friends are asking me what I do in science school..

Typical lecture.

Look at the reference books we have to use for projects. There is probably 2 more shelf of these.

See. Kairos is retarded. Pipette until the pipette tip fall into the testtube. *kept as a specimen* LOL.

Look at the colonies of microorganisms!(Indicated by blue dots) Many right? Can you believe they're floating around you as you're reading this now?! More than millions and million of them!!

The cells in my body gave me a signal. Urge to play basketball. Not the arcade. As in reallllllllll basketball. I want to jump and run around. Think stuck too long already. Itching to play.

Tests are coming. Can I handle the pressure?

SIP is coming too. Can I handle work?

School is getting scarier as time passes by. I'll graduate soon. I hope.

-XJ.

Embarrassed..

2009-05-19T22:26:00.002+08:00

Today morning was horrible. I didn't want to wake up. It felt like I'm having fever. The headache, flu, feverish feeling. Arghh.. Still struggled to go school despite that. Luckily I survived.

Decided to save money and NOT go to see a doctor, I just hope I get better soon by resting. Although having adequate rest is out of the question because I have a damn test tomorrow. There is so much to cover. Worst of all, there is.. Calculations!! Ahhhhh. If the only 1 thing I'm not gonna be good at, it's gonna be maths/calculations. In addition, I am totally out of time to practice them. I still have so many things to memorize. It's like more than 50 pages of words!! OMG! it's so much that if you put an an within the words, it would probably get lost!! Lol. Okay relax. Whew... The reason why I'm so panicky about this test is because it is of a very high weightage.

Nothing much happened today. Only the fact that i realized more and more people are getting sick nowadays. I'm even a victim myself. I don't know why. Lack of sleep maybe?

Something embarrassed happened to me today. It actually happened on the bus on the way home. The bus was really crowded, so basically everybody was squeezing.. Including me. However, I was infront of a girl who is shorter than me by half a head and she was really cute! =P We were face to face and even when we wanted turn away, it was impossble as the bus had so many people. I seriously didn't know where to look. That's only part 1. Part 2 came about as I couldn't lean backwards away from her as well. There was another girl who was behind me and she was so close to me that I could feel her just behind me even without looking. I stood there, stoned between 2 girls for like... 20 minutes. >_> Omg luh. I think I was blushing back then. The girl kept looking away as well. Ah well. No choice what. It's not like I don't want to turn away. It is because I can't mah.

Kairos and the others were commenting that I have alot of white hair that is very visible. Omg, this implies that I am awfully stressed to the max. I want to dye my hair!! I'll do it soon. I promise! Haha.

Alright. I am going to end this post and go back to studying PMT. Bye everybody!!

-XJ.

5..

2009-05-18T19:59:00.003+08:00

This is week 5 of the first school term. Week 5 is actually a "cursed" week for Temasek Polytechnic Students.

This is because week 5 usually have quizzes for many subjects and projects are usually due this week as well.

Let's look at my list:

1. Prepare for GMP meeting with Wallace Tuesday
2. PMT test on Wednesday (1hr 30min. Longer than a term test!!)
3. BPT lab report on Wednesday
4. PMT assignment 1 due on Friday 1pm
5. GMP test on friday (It's rumored by seniors to be worse than PMT)

5 damn things to do in 1 week. What the heck. It may look like only 5, but the quality expected from each 1 is crazy. Still think it is little? Tell me and I'll show you what is required. I'll make you eat your words.

I am going nuts. The future don't really look too well for me also. More and more projects, assignments coming my way. I need somebody to help me. Save me from this engulfing pool.

I am going to do my GMP now. Hopefully I finish early and have time to mug for GMP..

People of the day!:

Person #11: Yani (Pharmaceutical Science Technology)

Yay! Yani! Best friend to have in the arcade. Why? Because she works at Timezone. When she's working, I get to play free games!! =P Okay fine. She's also a great friend to have in school. She is probably going to be the 2nd PCD to get her driving license. She is quite famous being the female version of Saifuldin because they look alike. Even teachers ask if they're sibilings. Haha. She was in the same CDS with me, Psychology. We always panic an hour before tutorial because we always never finish in time. Heh.. Sure brings back great memories..

Person #12: Jasmin Tan (Ex-Pharmaceutical Science Technology)

Jasmin goes back a long long way. Even longer than all 9 people before her. I known her since primary school as we were from the same school. Didn't really talk to her back then. We went to different secondary schools, but we met again for an event called Band Masters Class. It's where students from different school come together and practice as a band and finally perform for their schools and audience. We played the same instrument and hence we met again. Finally, we met again in Temasek Polytechnic and we got into the same class. Wow.. Talk about tyco. Hahaha. Jasmin is whacky with her trademark crazy laugh that goes out of control. However, she does study very hard when it comes to exams. Some may have notice that she is "EX-Pharmaceutical Science Technology" student. This is because she left TP at the end of last sem to join NAFA, a school for arts. She is a genius musician without a doubt. Hahahaha. Everybody is sad that she have to go, but all the best to her and let's all meet her one day again! =D

-XJ.

Fun at last..

2009-05-16T23:35:00.003+08:00

Saturdays are always so awesome. Because I go out with friends!! Yeah, I do that on Sundays also. But it's different. Sundays are "reality days" as it would be Monday the next day and it means a week of school again.

Nevermind. Let me blog about today.

Today was supposed to meet Sherman, YS, Daniel and QW at White Sands at 7am in the morning. We planned to go swimming at Xiao Di's house. I couldn't wake up actually, until my dad woke me up at 6.45. I was a little bit late when I reached there but I was the first to arrive (How punctual my friends are LOL). We left at around 7.45 without QW as he's still asleep. His fault for sleeping at 3am.

When we reached Simei, YS complained about being hungry because we didn't have breakfast. Quickly went to Old Chang Kee to buy something small to eat. Crazily, the auntie mistook me for a girl. Sherman, YS and Daniel were laughing their heads off when the auntie called me "Ah girl". The auntie would probably have been shocked at the fact that I'm gonna be 19 this year if I didn't wear the Temasek Poly shirt with the logo. All hail the T-shirt!!

We took bus 5 outside of eastpoint and we realized that we're on the wrong bus when the bus turned the other direction. We alighted ASAP and walked in the reversed direction to go to Xiao di's house and mind you, it's damn far. However, to kill of the boredom and with some random-ness, we created a song and even made a dance for it. Quite fun leh. Hahaha.

Super long never swim already and the water was terriblly, horribly and vegetable-ly cold. Brrrrrr. While waiting for Ryan to come and take care of our stuff, Sherman was playing around with the towel and had some bollywood action which I took a snap of. The picture is posted on his today's blogpost. *Click his name over at the links section to go and see.* Went to JJ after that.

Went to CDL at around 3pm. So squeezy there. Very warm. >_>. Had dinner with the peeps and took the bus home by 8. Super tiring day but I still have to do my ridiculous projects and lab reports. This stupid lab report thing, is EVERYWEEK have. Argh. It's disgusting.

People of the day!:

Person #9: Yap Sujun (Pharmaceutical Science Technology)

Lol. Sujun, the girl who lives in the block opposite..... Sherman not me. Hahaha. She's in the same class as me for sem 2.1 as well as in this semester. For this semester, she's in the same PMT group as I am. So it basically means we're chionging lab reports every week. Like with the rest of the PCD gang, she's also noisy and funny (maybe that's what makes the TPs PCD). A trademark of hers is, she likes to emphasize to all our 3 care person (form teacher) that she's having financial problems although she's not. At least not someone that's using a 16GB Omnia phone right? Before posting this, still was talking to her on msn about the PMT report. She's very hardworking. Out of the 3 questions that we were assigned to do, she already finish 2. Make me feel so guility. =( Sujun!! Next time don't do so fast lah!! Make me feel bad lehhh!! Hahahaha.

Person #10: Tan Meihui (Pharmaceutical Science Technology)

The Nicole Scherzinger of the TP PCD gang. Despite being the group's "leader". She's probably the leader for getting bullied. Hahaha. She's very blur. To the extent that she has a disease named after her. It's called Meihuism. Lol. It's symptoms include, severe deafness, poor memory. Lol. However, it only affects her. She's in the same class me this semester as well. Don't know is it a good thing or bad thing. I'll take it as a good thing for now. Because she would always remember to ask me if I need lecture notes whenever she prints for herself and her group. Hahaha. Hopefully her disease won't make her forget about printing notes for me ahh. =DD

Tag replies:

-KIKI AU: Too bad, even if you hate me for infinite times, we're still stuck in the same group. tolerate my nonsense!! Hahaha!

-ongruibing(rb): No more meihuism? That's a first. Lol. Scroll down to see new post about you right. Okay anot. Nothing much bad about you right. Hahahaha!

-RYL: Lol. Yeah actually I do. So fair enough. Haha! I'll go and tag when I have the time. I'm suffocating under my projects. You come and save me from it lo. Then I'll have the time. =D

Home..

2009-05-15T21:02:00.002+08:00

Today is Friday! It's the end of the week!! Hooray!!

Had to go back to school today, although it is supposed to be no school Friday.

Went back to school and met GMP groupmates for the project. Same nonsense. Take the bus. And The pretty girl that took the same bus as me on Monday was in the bus too. Hahaha.

Was supposed to meet the group at 10am. I reached school at 9.30 and felt hungry. Went to flavours to eat and YS went along. That YS, also damn smart lah. Went to school thinking that his lesson is at 10. However, he only realized that his lesson starts at 11am when we're 1 bus stop away from TP. >_>!

Started project meeting at 10.30am and did lots of stuff. It was very productive at first, but after like 2-3 hours or so, everybody started to slow down. Hahaha. The project meeting was really long, like 4-5 hours of camping in the library. Whew.. Friends who want to find me in TP, just come to the library. Library has become my home in school. Aiya, don't so picky luh. Last year in school already..

Tomorrow I'm going to swim early in the morning! I'm gonna prepare for NAPFA. I don't want to go into army damn early. I'm gonna miss everybody. So I am determined to work hard from now! =)

People of the Day!:

Now, I'm moving on the year 2 (Semster 1). For year 2.1, I'm got separated from my usual buddies. I have to make new friends. But luckily, some people from my care group (year 1 class) was in the same class as me. However!! It's a group of 6 girls. Whoa. I tell you. At first I have no idea how to fit in luh. Anyway, Kairos refer this group as the PCD gang (PussyCat Dolls). HAHAHA! Now I'm here to blog about them. Go!!

The first person I'm gonna start with is,

Person #7: Ong Rui Bing (Pharmaceutical Science Technology)

I started with Redbean because she BHB. Told me on MSN to start with her first. Lol. She emphasized that I should blog the good things about her. But it's kinda hard for me leh. There's like nothing good. HAHAHA! Joking joking. Rui bing ah.. Hmmm. Something that I remember most clearly about her is that. She failed BTT (Basic Theory Test) on the first try. The whole PCD gang was laughing at her luh. Hahahaha! But now, she has already got her driving license so cannot laugh at her anymore. =P Pro luh! Very funny and noisy person. She also used to make fun of me of my birthdate also. Because she's borned in Feb and I'm borned in Dec, she always says: "Eh XJ, When I was borned, you still swimming towards the egg leh."Lol. WTH right?!?!? Hahaha! I'll never forget that joke lah.

Person #8: Zoe Tay (Pharmaceutical Science Technology)

Hahaha! I'm blogging about Zoe Tay leh!! But not that mediacorp Zoe Tay. It's the TP PCD's Zoe Tay. This Zoe is very tall for a girl. Somemore she's taller than me. That totally sucks right? Argh.. I don't wanna talk to her at first. Because I have to stand beside her if I want to talk to her. But that would make the point that she's taller than me even more obvious. Things have changed though. I'm no longer the shortest person in school like I was in primary/secondary school. So it was pretty okay to be standing near this tall person. Hahaha. Very kind person leh. At least she remembers me when she's copying tutorial luh. HAHAHA! =)

Alright. I'm gonna get ready to sleep soon. Tomorrow early morning waking. Cya people!!

-XJ.

study..

2009-05-13T22:50:00.004+08:00

I am trying to study hard here. There is GMP quiz next monday and PMT quiz next wednesday. Argh.

The most pressing 1 would be tomorrow's BPT quiz though. Although the quiz is only 15 minutes long, but the memories of failing Bpharm due to CA is here with me and I don't want it to repeat again. I want to do very well in all my quizzes. I don't want to do poorly again. I hate the feeling. It's scary. In addition, I promised myself and friends that I would study very hard this sem and do well. So I am determined!! Memorising is not one of my strengths though and there is quite abit to remember. Oh well, late night it is!

Argh. Projects are rushing me to death. Deadlines are coming, project meeting is like omg. I got meeting tomorrow after school and meeting from friday morning onwards to don't know when. Sian.. I better get good grades for the hard work I put in or else!

Today Mr Chan was quite funny. Tried to bring us up to heaven, but threw us back down to earth in an instant.

Mr Chan:" Class, are you all able to cope with the PMT assignment?"
Class:" No!!"
Mr Chan:" Hmm.. Do you all need more time to do the assignment?"
Class:" Yes!!"
Mr Chan:" Alright, I shall extend the deadline for project submittion by..."
Class: *Anticipates*
Mr Chan:" 1 Hour."
Class: *Faints*

Lol. Extended deadline by an hour. Somemore is use one of the tutorial hour in the timetable to do the assignment. What a great help eh?

Xperia is kinda irritating leh. Not as in the functions or what. It's just that, being a phone operating under Windows Mobile, it cannot read Chinese characters! All my Chinese song titles in the phone either becomes some unreadable language or it just becomes squares. I want to download the Chinese software but I can't find it. Anybody knows where to download? Let me know leh. You will be thanked to the uber most! Haha.

Tomorrow shall wear cap! Because tomorrow going to clean room = Spacesuit = Messy/flat hair. So I shall wear cap tomorrow!! =)

People of the day!:

Person #5: Muhammad Zulfaqar (Pharmaceutical Science Technology)

Hardworking fellow. Diligent, quite chiong for projects. Presentation done very well. Presents everything very professionally until I scared. Hahaha! Although we're in the same course, but we didn't get to be in the same tutorial class during year 2 as we chose different electives. However, fate has brought us back again and we're in the same class now in year 3. Haha! He is in my BPT group and the leader as well somemore!! Yay!!

Person #6: Tan Jun You (Pharmaceutical Science Technology)

Hmm. Jun You didn't really hang out with me and the previous 5 people during year 1. But seeing that he's in our care group and the previous 5 are all guys, I'll continue with guys luh. Hoho. Very cartoon person, does things that are super crazy and random. But nevermind, that's his style. Haha! A friend who is concerned for everybody and would not hestitate to give you a helping hand if you need one. Likewise for Zul, Jun You was not in the same class as me for year 2.2 as we were taking different electives, but we're now in the same class in year 3! =D This year, he just showed me. He's playing Pokemon with his handphone. Cool ah!! Hahahaha!

I'll probably go on to year 2 by the next time. So see ya!!

Tag replies:

-rb: Eh Redbean, I posted first time in year 3!! Means this year. It is my FIRST time okay!!!

-KIKI AU: LOL! Skip lecture still not negative peer influence ah!! Hate me also no used. I blogged about it and the GMP grouping is stuck. Still ask me don't pangseh you from the group!!

-sujun: Haha, like finally ah? I think you having abit of meihui's symptoms already. Careful ah!!

-XJ.

opps..

2009-05-12T22:13:00.004+08:00

Opps. I have a confession to make. I skipped lecture for the first time in my year 3 life. =/

But ahhh, I got reasons for skipping it!

Number 1: Kiki wanted to meet to do GMP project since we're not exactly ahead or on schedule. Probably because we slacked too much. Hahaha. So I decided to skip lecture and go do GMP project after much persuasion by Kiki (negative peer influence!! =P).

Number 2: Today's lecture was BPT and BPT lectures are very dry. The teacher's accent makes it more difficult to understand and makes me want to sleep even more. Micro-organisms --> Micro-orgasms. This is one of funnier ones. But can't really blame the teacher since he's not from Singapore and accent is not avoidable. But you people get the point. Haha.

Okay lah. Skipping it was worth it cause Kairos say it was boring and nothing important was taught and Kiki and me did produce something in the 2 hours. Quite productive luh. Hahaha.

I noticed something today. Year 1 students don't know come to school so study, or to do fashion show. Their attire is like zomg. So many different pattern 1 lo. A big group of year 1 girls walked past me today at concourse. All different type of attire. T-shirt, jeans, tights, dress, mini-skirt. You name it, they wear it. lol. I wonder if I was like that in year 1. Hmm.. Hahaha.

If you're talking about my year 1 poly life, It's impossible not to mention about this guy. The point "looks can be deceiving" is created for him. He looks like a typical good boy. However, the impression change when he starts to talk. *&#@(%&(@*&^&*%(*. Seeing that there are children under 18 (you know who you are, I am refering to YOU! Haha!) reading my blog, I don't want to type out what he actually says. You get the point. Also another anchor for laughter in the group with his fantastic vocabulary of words and jokes. Don't get to see him very often nowadays though. Kinda sad. Missed the Laughter. Hahaha!

Person #4: Ashley David Rowe (Biotechnology)

The ah moh of the group. If you're unsure about his gender, yes I used his. He's a guy. He's a hardcore gamer. Wherever he is, you will never fail to find him without his PSP. He has 3-4 spoiled PSPs already (wonder what he does to them at home). This guy is imbal-ly smart also. Plays PSP during lectures/tutorials/everywhere. But he still gets into the director's list. How on earth does he do that man. Hahaha. For some reason, he is pretty lazy as well but does so well for exams. Hmm.. I wonder..

Alright. I need to go take a look at my PMT tutorial that Mr Chan is going through tomorrow. At least I need to attempt the questions mah. Bye!

Tag replies:

-silouhan: Haha. Now you know already. After linking, remember to tag more. lol!

-RYL: Lol. You must emphasize the fact that you're one of the hardworking students ah. BHB leh. Hahahaha! =P

-Lester: Time already ah. Haha. I'll visit and tag as soon as I got time. =D

regret..

2009-05-11T21:40:00.005+08:00

I am super tired. Super exhausted. I need a break. I seriously need a break.

I know I have said it before about how school actually sucks and all. But I kinda realized like sherman did, 1 month ago I said I missed school and apparently 1 month later, I am cursing school to the core.

I also think that there are a lot of year 1 students this year that lives in Pasir Ris area because this year, the queue for the bus is very long. When I say very, I mean it. I don't see queue that is this long for my last 2 years but it is ridiculously long for this year.

Bus ride to school today is normal. Except for a small bit. According to Ye Siang, there was a pretty girl standing behind me. How fantastic a friend he is, only telling me AFTER we alight the bus. Awww. Nevermind, I actually noticed her when I board the bus. I have a natural talent for spotting pretty girls eh. Hahaha! Too bad, if not I could have ask for the number if YS actually mentioned. Haha.

A very boring day of lecture in school again, even more today as people from other schools/institute do not have school. **Oh yes, special point to note here. After knowing some people from JC is expectionally hardworking and went back to school today, I would like to exclude my JC friends from the whining list of no school today. Haha!**

Met Sherman after school today went to 201 and eat. Sherman discovered a mee goreng stall that sells cheap food and still tasty!! (At least for him and me) Yay! Means next time go there got 1 more option to choose from!!

Start of a new week, week 4 to be exact. Amazing how time flies despite the fact that I am not having fun. Already 1 month since school started but it seriously feels like 1st or 2nd week only. Oh well, I should look forward and not backwards right? *Tries to be optimistic*

I changed my EZ-link card today!! I don't really like the new EZ-link card. It looks like some cheapskate card made of cardboard. I like the old one better. I would like to make a point to YS. EH YS!! I changed my EZ-link leh. TODAY!! 11th MAY! HAHAHAHA

Oh yeah I actually quite into the idea of blogging my life at TP. The fun, friends, crazyness in school. For today, I would probably start with year 1 and the group of crazy friends I made.

Year 1:

Super-blur, gets lost in TP, can't find the classroom/lecture hall and here I am now laughing at people getting lost in TP. Hoho.

Person #1: Sherman Lim Yi-Heng (Biomedical Technology)

Let's see, this guy... What to say about him?? He's like a whole package. Funny, smart, hardworking, interesting, crazy, whacky. Everything in 1. What more to ask for in a friend? One of the first few friends I actually made in poly. Been there always, my ups downs lefts rights. Oh whatever. He is really smart, and has amazing memory power. Amazing to the extent that I am shocked. I have seen it for myself and I am impressed, seriously. The only thing that I probably have an edge over him is my chinese is better than him. LOL! Did I mention that he's a magician as well? He performs leh!! All those people that don't know him, be jealous! Don't you think I am cool to have a professional magician as a classmate/friend? HAHAHA!! Honestly, great buddy to have in school. Life is never boring with him around!

Person #2: Low Wei Qi Kenneth (Biomedical Technology)

Ah Kenneth. Typical Ah beng. Although he keeps saying he's not. Okay lah. Maybe he's not. But his fashion sense is like ah beng without a doubt. He even looks like one. But I think alot of girls like ah beng leh. Apparently, all girls usually flock to him when he's around. Haha. Nevermind, although I don't get attention, I get to look at pretty girls. Consolation prize lah. Haha! Always like to make fun of Sherman, I have no idea why. I got a equation for this. (kenneth + sherman during lecture = Laughter non-stop) It is really amusing to listen to the 2 of them quarrel. Hahaha. Kenneth also tries to act guai, notice I use the word TRIES. He doesn't scold people, he just goes "I Phuck You." Hahahahahaha.

I shall go 2 for today, since I have a whole lot of work to be done. For people who want to know more about my life in poly, keep reading the next time I update. Who knows? Maybe I may move out of TP and the next person I blog about is YOU! LOL.

-XJ.

fade into nothingness..

2009-05-10T22:52:00.004+08:00

Lol. I feel bad. Instead of staying at home to do GMP project, I went to Ang Mo Kio. Opps.

Haha. Oh well. What is done cannot be undone ah.

Anyway, did go to Sherman's house though. Alot of people went in fact. Hahaha. Seriously, Sherman's room is messy. How can a guy's room be tidy though? So it is forgivable as I am gulity as well. We helped him to tidy it A LITTLE BIT, very little in fact. No matter how many times I see his room, I am still fascinated by his collection of legos. I think there is like 197 already, if I hear him correctly.

I am still whiny about the fact that I have school tomorrow and others don't. It's not fair. Boo..

Projects are due soon,
Presentations are coming,
Term test is coming,
SIP is soon.

Work Hard XJ!!

*Oh yeah. Happy Mother's day to all mothers on earth!!*

-XJ.

2009-05-10T12:47:00.003+08:00

Today is Sunday. Tomorrow is Monday. Boooo. School starts again tomorrow. Boring lah!!

This is unfair. Primary, Secondary, JC students all get a "make-up" public holiday for yesterday's Vesak day. Why Poly students don't get it!! =( *Whines at all his Primary, Secondary, JC friends*

Argh.. Whatever. Should get used to it already. Poly students don't even get Youth day holiday already despite we being the most suitable to be regarded as Youths along with JC students.

Today's weather was fantastic ah. Rain so heavily in the morning, so condusive for sleeping. Remember having several weird dreams, but forget what happened exactly already. Hahaha. Like always, sleep until so happy, my mom have got to wake me up. But making a din in my room. *Bing Bing Bong Bong* Wake Up already!! It's already 12pm! Sleep and Sleep only!!

Actually didn't want to wake up but she off the aircon, became a little too warm for sleeping already. lol. So no choice. Although I must admit, I do have quite a life though. After waking up and wash face brush teeth the usual stuff, Within 10 minutes, my dad is back with lunch!! Talk about efficient!! Feel like a prince like that!! or maybe not lah. Hahaha!!

I don't know should I go out today, or stay at home to do GMP. GMP is plain crazy. A 3CU subject, but the workload given makes it feel like 678782394875 CUs. Wallace still can smile and tell us to love GMP >_>!

Miss Ler talked to me about school on MSN. I am touched that she still remembers our class even after leaving school. Of course, all of us miss her alot as well. All the laughter, jokes and classes we have with her. She was and still is a amazing teacher to me. I will always remember!!
"It is optically active as it can rotate prain (plain) porized (polarised) light!!" Hahahaha!!! Thanks Miss Ler!!!

-XJ.

Torture..

2009-05-07T20:42:00.003+08:00

Ah it is Thursday. This means that it is the start of the weekends for me as I do not have school on Fridays. Finally, sometime to rest and have a little bit of fun after suffering in school. Ironically, I hate Thursdays more than any other day despite it being the last day of school of the week for me.

Why?

Firstly, there is crazy Bioprocess Technology (BPT) tutorial. What's so crazy about it? Nothing. It's the teacher. The teacher made us look like idiots!! He was supposed to go through the tutorial answers but instead, he went to teach us things that we already know all over again. For refresh our memory you say? I believe you people that read this know that 1kg is equals to 1000g? Yes, he taught us that. He still say cm X cm X cm = cm3. >_>. Next, he teach us that. Density is equals to mass/volume. We learnt that in secondary school physics. What is the worse is that. He talked about the atomic and relative atomic mass and wrote on the board that Mr of H2 (2 moles of hydrogen) = 1 (Ar) x 2 (number of moles) = 1!!! OMG!?! 1 x 2 = 1?!?!?! Whoaaa!! The whole class almost fainted. But out of respect, we still listened to his lesson. Hahaha.

Next, it's spacesuit lab day!! Singapore is super warm as we know it. During this lab, we have to wear full jump suit with shoe covers and all. Somemore need to wear jeans. =( I think I may get heatstroke sooner or later. lol. The face mask also interfer with our breathing. Breathing is so damn hard with the mask and we're not allowed to take it out. What the hell. Also everyweek got report to do. Report report report. Reports are totally not my strong points. Argh. Nevermind it's over for this week. =P

I am feeling better now, no more feeling feverish but still with the flu and headache around. Zzz. I am super duper lack of sleep. =/

Oh yes, the WHO level got changed down to yellow color. Therefore, there is still no more temperature taking for individuals already! No more "dots"! Hahaha.

-XJ.

Old practice, new school..

2009-05-05T23:06:00.004+08:00

I am sure everybody remembers the SARS period from 6 years ago. With the free 1 month holiday due to no apparent reason (that was what I though, it did eat into my June holidays in the end). During that period of time 6 years ago, I was in secondary one. For those people who are younger than me, you were probably in primary school. Count yourself, my age - yours. Hahahaha.

Also remember the boring temperature taking exercise that we have to do everyday and after recess? Yes, that. I am required to do that in Temasek Polytechnic as well.

Being a super big school, we have to queue up to get our temperature taken by the health screening officer. It was ridiculously long and the concourse was flooded with people. Irritating. After you pass the temperature taking and proven that you don't have fever, the officer would then give you a coloured round sticker (I'll refer it as a dot from now on) and you have to paste it on you to indicate that you're "clear". lol. But seriously, I don't really see the point of doing this. According to observations and studies, it has been shown that influenza A is *some-chim-word-here*. I forgot how to spell it. But basically it just means that H1N1 can spread even before symptoms like fever, flu start to show. So, who knows maybe I am not having a fever now but I am spreading the virus already. Sure it does help to a certain extend, but it's not that useful. Oh well, since the school wants it, we'll just go along with it. Haha.

Now, security is so strict in the school, if you do not have a "dot" with you, you will be stopped and be asked questions. And XJ, being blur for once, was rushing to the library from my school to get notes from my friends. However!!! I didn't notice that I lost the dot I got in the morning. So the security guard actually didn't let me go through. I had to run back to ASc, "borrow" a dot from my friend and run back again. Argh... I was actually too darn lazy to do that, but for the sake of the notes. -.-

Recently, I am not chatting much online on MSN already. Due to the crazy workload that I have this semster. I am drained out. Totally. Hope I can faster finish them all and get back to my LLL (Lazy Little Life). So people, be honoured if I reply your message!! I took off my precious time to reply!! LOL! =P

Influenza A..

2009-05-04T22:55:00.002+08:00

According to updates from Temasek Polytechnic, The "Swine flu" is not really the swine flu that everybody think it is. It is wrongly labeled. It is actually called influenza A, H1N1 virus strain. Why is it called Influenza? I have no idea. What does the codename H1N1 means? I know no clue either. I am a science student, not a science genius. LOL. All I know is that it is made up by parts of swine, avian (bird) and human DNA. What a monster... My grandmother also damn cute luh. Ask me why is it type A, how they know, what about type B, C and so on. How I know sia.

7 People have been quarantined in Hong Kong and luckily, my parents were not quarantined and they're back in Singapore! This means that there is gonna be people waking me up for school from tomorrow onwards!!

They reached home at around 7.10+, abit earlier than I did. They were unpacking stuff already when I reached home. As usual, I hear my mom screaming at my little brother before even reaching my front door. Hahaha.

When I asked about their trip, they said it was pretty fun and the sight-seeing were really good. They even got to see Jackie Chan's house!! It was on top of a mountain and was damn big!! It even had a helicopter landing port at the rooftop!! Whoa!! How cool is that!! They still told me about other places that was nice and they went shopping.. For presents!!

Hahahaha. They remembered to buy presents!! I got a new jacket and wallet!! Just like my parents to know that my wallet abit buang already.. Sure cost them a bomb when I looked at the brands. LOL. Oh well. I am happy that I got presents. I think they should go overseas more often.

As usual, school is a horror with the projects, assignments.. (How many times have I complained about this?) Sure missed my secondary school times now. I just realised that despite Wallace being a fantastic teacher, his presence kinda scares me. Excellent. Don't ask why, I don't know. Time is short and I'm chionging projects like there is no tomorrow. Reading, researching, typing, arghh. It is just plain stupid. If you people would see me in my house, you'll probably think I am a freak with all the notes on the table. Plainly, school sucks. I want to sleep. The lecture halls always have such hypnotic powers.. I tend to fall asleep whenever I go into the lecture hall unless I can do something like eat something or msg people. So people, feel free to message me if you're bored because I am most probably feeling that way also. HAHAHAHA.

I feeling feverish now. I think I should go get some sleep already. So I am going off already. Bye!!!

-XJ.

Sick and Tired..

2009-05-03T00:23:00.003+08:00

I'm damn sleepy now. I am having a bad headache as well.

I can't sleep, because I still have research for GMP project to do. I don't know how many times I have yawned while doing research and sources seemed so hard to find.

My eyes are going to close already.

Come to think of it,

Why diseases exist?

If they don't, people can live longer.
If they don't, people won't have to die of them.
If they don't, doctors would not be a profession.
If they don't, SARS Bird Flu Swine flu would not exist also.
If they don't, I would not have to study manufacturing of drugs.
If they don't, I would not have to do ridiculous projects asking me to find 1001 drugs.

However..

If they don't, what am I going to study?
If they don't, what are the doctors gonna become?
If they don't, how would people know that plants have healing properties?
If they don't, who would have discovered bacteria/virus?

So.. are diseases good or bad? I don't know. What do you think? I'm tired. This feels like a joke to me. I am at my limits. Where is the remover for my limits so that I will survive? I think I am falling sick soon. I feel very... sickish. Zzz.

-XJ.

====================================================================

Okay. I'm really very tired. I slept at 3am and woke at 9am to do projects. I seriously hope I can finish it soon so that I can take a nap.

Come to think of it, today is the 3rd of May. This means that in another day, my parents will be back from Hong Kong. This few days have been free from nagging, scolding and whining but still, them being around feels much safer. Haha.

I sure hope they're fine. There has been a reported incident of swine flu in Hong Kong and the whole hotel has been quarantined. Hopefully they're not staying at the quarantined hotel. I wish they remembered to bring presents. Hahaha!!

I am still not very well.. The headache subsided after sleeping but I am still coughing frequently. In addition, I'm hungry. I think I shall go cook maggie noodles later. Sure wished my dad was around to drive me out to have lunch instead of having maggie noodles. -.-

My grandmother came over to my house today. She has been "tasked" by my mom to come and take care of us. But apparently, we're old enough to take care of ourselves already so I don't see the point asking my grandmother to take care of us. Maybe this puts my mom's mind at ease. So let her be then.

I am super tired! Why can't 1 day have 48 hours? Then i shall sleep for 24!! *Yawns*

-XJ.

left alone..

2009-04-30T07:22:00.007+08:00

I have lessons at 10am today.. But I am already awake and blogging now. at 7.23am.

Why?

To bring my little brother to school.

Why not my parents bringing him to school?

Because they just left for Hong Kong. Hahahaha!

Yes. Despite the recent incident of swine flu, My parents, along with my godparents stick to their plans of going overseas. They had planned this trip like 2 months ago before outbreak of swine flu. Hence, according to my father yesterday, now "No government at home already lo." Or should I say, "I am the government?" Since I am the eldest at home now, I have to take care of my siblings safety, buy food for them, do housework, make sure we don't die in addition to my already-super-heavy workload from school.

Yesterday night was the funniest time I had in my life. My mother was so damn kan chiong that we will screw up things when they're not around. I told her: "Aiyo, relax lah. I am 18 already leh. not 8 years old. So let go already and just go play in Hong Kong." However, even after saying that, she still did lots of things that was damn funny. Alright, more on this later.

Yesterday was my Grandfather's birthday. We went to have dinner with my relatives. Like everybody came luh. I know I am supposed to be happy about my grandfather, but I can't help thinking about the GMP project that I have to rush for today. But still, here are some of the pictures!!

My grandfather and grandmother!!

The super dark coloured cake. Don't ask me how it tasted like, I didn't eat it. I don't eat anybody's cake remember?

Actually that's all for my grandfather's birthday because my uncle was behind me taking pictures with his sony C902. Still ask me why my phone like not clear like that. Obviously trying to show off his 5 Megapixel camera. Tsktsk. I know lah, Xperia camera not that good lah. 3.2 Megapixel only. And C902 is a cyber-shot phone. But whatever lo. -.-

After celebrating the birthday, confirm go home already. It's actually quite late already. Like 9pm. I kept telling my mom that I am going to use my laptop as my pillow soon due to late night project-doing in order to make her be less naggy and go home already. Lol.

Now at home. My mother is super-duper kan chiong that my siblings and I won't survive this 5 days. Yes, it is only 5 days. But actually quite long ah? Haha. So my mother started to prepare this, prepare that.

The first funny thing that she prepared...

Look at the clothes.

There's more.

My brother's and my clothing all the way from today until monday sia!! My mom is a super planner. She already planned what I am going to wear for the next 5 days. Go where, do what, for what. Hahahahaha! Seriously, EVERYTHING. Go school, at night sleep, go out. Nothing left out. Whoa!

I told her that I can take out my clothes when I need them. But she say she scared that I mess up the cupboard and she'll have to pack it again. So okay, let you be then. Above is the masterpieces, still got like 3-4 T-shirt she hung on my cupboard door I didn't take picture of. Super-funny.

That's not all people. She's also scared that we forget to do things that we need to do, like turn off the lights, forget to do this, forget to do that until... She wrote notes on paper and pasted them all over the house. Dots...

Lol. Like writing will like that right?

Part 2 of the will.

Front door also have. Ask me to remember to lock the door. >_>

Even the toilet isn't safe from my mom's stick-it.

Hahaha. They're seriously all over the place. It asks me to do things like, remember to buy food for my siblings, turn off lights, off the aircon, sweep/mop the floor everyday, remember to coker (lock) the door before going out. Coker is my mom's language for lock. LOL.

I also feel like a businessman, as I have 2 phones with me. My own, and my mom's. She wants me to take note if anybody calls her, even when she's going Hong Kong. -.- Hope I don't lose any of them, I no money to pay my mom, anybody willing to pay? Then I can lose it. Haha!!

Alright. That's it for now. I have to get ready to go to school already. See you all around =)

-XJ.

Tomorrow is a better day... Or not...

2009-04-28T20:31:00.003+08:00

After whining everything about how GMP actually could kill yesterday, I thought the worst of a student's life is already happening and it wouldn't get anywhere worse. Then again, I was wrong.

I went to search and read up on some of the references online that Wallace gave us. There're 5 parts, 2 of which Wallace told us it's not important. Yay! Being a typical lazy student, the first thing I would notice is of course, the number of pages of the reference report. Part 1 is a ridiculous 43 pages!! They're full of words and minimal spacing in-between lines! You can imagine how much I hate GMP now. While reading it yesterday night, I discovered the non-pharmacological (No medication) treatment for insomnia!! And it is, read the GMP guide!! Guaranteed to make you fall asleep. Totally gave up reading at 1+ and go to sleep already, thinking tomorrow will be better.

Apparently the start of the morning was ridiculous as I was damn reluctant to get out of bed for some reason. Trying to get a doze whenever I could even if it's for 2 seconds. And I hit the wall. Owww.. Left the house a little late than usual and I suffered the consequence. Soooooo many people queuing for bus 15! %^@#%()^*%. Had to stand. But still tried to sleep. Hahaha!

As usual, the day was a draggy day, with so many lectures. Obviously lots of funny incidents happened too. After observing, I discovered something. How year 1, 2 and 3 students behave when trying to get to classrooms.

Year 1s: First year in school, Freshmans. So many things they still don't know. Always kan chiong one. Rush like the world's gonna end already. Act damn cool, probably cause they think they're cool because first time wear home clothes to school, super exciting and cool. Usually in big groups/bunch, alot of them waiting and squeezing at the 2 lifts to get to classrooms.

Year 2s: Second year in school, Juniors. Act even more cool, because there is 1 batch that is younger than them mah! Think they can bully already. However, they should think otherwise as children nowadays are over-nutritioned. They are damn tall and big for their age as year 1s. Not as kan chiong, cause workload not that heavy as they're used to it for a year already. They are usually in 2-6 people in a group. Being young and impatient to wait with year 1s for the lift, they just take the stairs to save time.

Year 3s: Final year in school, Seniors. (My batch). Wants to act cool because most senior in school, but due to the crazy workload, is unable to do so. Home in school = Library due to the amount of research needed to be done for projects. Usually alone or 3-4 people in a group. As they are seniors, they probably know like 85% of TP at the back of their hands. So their method of getting to classrooms? Opens another door and reveals the hidden cargo lift!! Example of people who does that, yours truly. Hahahahaha!! BHB =P

I just opened up another part of the GMP guide and it is a FREAKING 137 PAGES!! I seriously don't dare to open the third part already.. And there are still 2-3 more websites. I'm going to faint already. Who would save me if I'm drowning? =(

Anyway. Something new here. I have decided to reply tags on my posts in order to make my tagboard neater without my XJ. around. So here we go!

-Jasmine: You're welcome ! =) Continue to study hard! Your mids are coming!! Good luck!!

-Sherman: Haha. My phone is still exciting what. I do message her, but not as often. We're both too busy already.

-RYL: My princess, it is not I don't want to go to your school to see you. Is because when I finish school, you're probably at home or having CCA already. =( And I don't have wrinkles!! Or I won't be mistaken as a year 1 already =P

-XJ.

time is not on my side..

2009-04-27T20:43:00.002+08:00

Time is definitely not on my side. So much to do, so little time.

I was looking forward to the first GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) lecture of the year. However, my anticipation turned into hatred at the end of the lecture.

I was running to lecture, because I was running late. Luckily, the teacher himself wasn't on time either and he was rushing. So didn't get scolding. Haha !

At the beginning of the lecture, the teacher introduced himself. His name is Wallace Lim, and he has been teaching for 8-9 batches already. He doesn't look old and looks very friendly. He also mentioned that it is fine just to call him Wallace. I think he will blend in very well with us if he goes out with us. He seems to enjoy teaching alot, and his lessons are not boring. He has a very interesting way of giving lessons and even told us to scrap off the 4 hours worth of tutorial everyweek off our timetable. "This is a great subject and a great way to start it" I thought.

While thinking that, Wallace showed the grouping for our projects on the visualizer. When I looked at my group, I went, "WTH?" I was in a group of 4 other girls, and I was the only boy, I don't know most of them. I don't really hate them or whatever, but working with people you don't know is still gonna pose some problems for me. In addition, this subject is too damn hard too.

Wallace informed us that there would be no semster exams for this subject. However, there would be 2 quizzes and 2 term tests. Term tests are usually 1 hour each. But Wallace told us honestly that his term tests are killers =/. He expects a 7 PAGE-LONG ANSWER for a 10 MARK QUESTION. 10 MARKS ONLY ! 7 PAGES ! Do you have any idea how much is that? Term tests are usually over 50. 5 questions of 10 marks each will need us to write (7x5=) 35 pages !! So i technically have to write a report in 1hr and a half !! What the hell ?! When asked about his previous batches results, he told us cheerfully: "Oh, it's alright. Around half failed term test 1, and more than half failed term test 2." O_O Now that scared me out of my seat.

Next was the report for project. He wants a 40 page report ! OMG ! I have never did a report so long in my life before luh ! Imagine the content you need to have for the report ! 40 Pages ! Ahhhhhhhhhhh !

I told you 100% PBL was a bad thing already. Look what happened ! =O. I finally understood my seniors feelings when Wallace told us that when he got his students MSN, they had nicks like "GMP sucks !" and all. Who wouldn't do that. And they ain't kidding about it being difficult as well..

I guess it's back to late nights and lack of sleep mode again. Just when I started to miss school during the holidays..

-XJ.

2009-04-26T21:12:00.003+08:00

I'm at home now. Trying to blog while watching Star Awards.

Today is another boring rot-at-home day. Tomorrow is the start of a boring school week.

Mostly gamed all the today. Now I find it abit wasted.. Blah.

Yesterday I missed the chance on going to my cousin's KTV. According to my other cousins, they had fun and it's pretty good. So I have decided to go someday. Who wants to go? Maybe can go sing for free leh ! Hahahaha !

Don't really have much to blog about these few days. But Bryan asked me "Eh Xiangjie, Why your phone like so quiet recently ah? What happened?" I was like eh? Lol. Don't really understand what he's trying to tell me though. =/

I'm very proud to say that I did my PMT tutorial !! Hopefully I still will carry on to do the rest =)

OH yeah ! My great-grandmother has recovered. She's able to talk and look at us when talking to us. I'm glad =).

weekends !!

2009-04-25T22:18:00.002+08:00

End of the first week, start of the first weekend.

This week was a a really bizarre week. It is the first week of school and lots of things are coming in, the new class, new modules, new friends, new teachers, new batch of year 1s.

What is different about this year with the past 2 years is that, the teachers are totally wasting no time at all with the final year students due to their tight schedule. It's project/assignment/lab work in the first week. Lessons straight on the first day of school and going into topic 3 by the second lecture. I am stressed out to the max. Everything is just pouring down and drowning me.. I can swim but in water, not books.

I miss my old class. With only 17 people. Although a small class, we never failed to have lots of fun everywhere. During PIA lab, during CSAS and even during PMIC lab. But I can't look back, can I? So I shall just sick to reality and get used to my current class. I'm quite happy in the class as well.. There are new and old faces and I don't really hate anybody in there, not sure about them though.. We'll see..

Mammalian cell tissue culture lab was scary yesterday. We had a life-and-death encounter as we were handling liver cancer cells. So one wrong step, and you're a goner. Scary ain't it? It was a fantastic experience though being able to work with things that are so small yet deadly.

Wanted to watch Handsome Suit today, but couldn't get the tickets. In the end, we watched 17 again despite people around me commented that it wasn't very good. After watching it, I found it alright and some parts were really funny. Lol. So money was well-spent and I still want to watch Handsome Suit, shall watch it one of these days.

I have been thinking.. Should I go for Overseas SIP? I feel like going, but I'm not sure if I will be able to take it anot.. Although my SIP is in the second semster, time flies and it is not going to wait for me. I have to decide soon and go forward with my decision. I can't possibly roll a dice or flip a coin to decide can I? I wonder...

today..

2009-04-23T21:12:00.004+08:00

Today was pretty cool eh. As said in the last post, I had PMT lab today. In the "spacesuit". Lol.

Honestly speaking, the suit is still as retarded as ever. We had to gown up (teachers said this) in the suit, face mask, hair net and shoe covers. Totally very troublesome. Also. The stupid hair net seriously flattened my hair. My hair was in a total mess when I removed the hair net. Arghhh.

Today's lab was quite fun. Although it make us look like doing home economics instead of being science students. We have to make granules. We used corn starch and making them into paste and lots of other things. Seriously look like cooking class. *A blur incident: We actually have individual lockers outside the lab to store our personal belongings like bag, other notes, handphone, wallet etc. Of course, being a locker, it sure got combination code to open it. Mr Chan gave us a piece of paper, giving us the instructions and combination code for the lockers and I blur-ly locked the piece of paper inside the locker without remembering the code. So of course I can't open it luh. Luckily, I still could get the code from Mr Chan again. Haha !*

However, the fun ended when Mr Chan informed us that we had a report to hand in by the end of the day though. So, straight after the lab was plain chionging and trying hard to finish the stupid report. According to the lab instructor, there was going to be a fire drill exercise. Hmm. What the hell? Abit weird eh. Temasek poly need to have fire drill exercise. This made us want to finish the report earlier even more. Because we don't want to get caught in the exercise !

Alright. Now for something stupid that happened to me again.

2 girls came up and asked: "Hi, are you year 1 students?"
"Eh nope. We're year 3 students. Sorry."

Can you believe it? It happened to me again ! Omg man. This is super ridiculous.. I think the worst is yet to come leh. Dots...

Oh yes. I met the girl who mistook me as her junior on monday. I thought she's gonna avoid me for sure. But I was surprised when she smiled and talked to me =o. I guess I don't look like that type that would ridicule people eh? LOL!

*And damn. I was so engross in talking that I forgot to ask her for her number !!"

-XJ.

coming back to reality..

2009-04-22T20:38:00.003+08:00

Today is the 3rd day of school. In these few days, I realized lots of things.

Firstly, I am definitely still in holiday mood. As someone that is in his final year in poly as a science student, I actually was stunned when the teacher talked about CO2 (carbon dioxide). I forgot about it. I even asked my friend beside me. His reaction. Carbon dioxide =o? Whoops.

Secondly, being in year 3 sucks, to the max. Instead of slacking and going through the study guide slowly in the first week of school, teachers actually go: "Ah, the study guide. As year 3 students, you all should already be familiar with the rules and regulation. So I shall not waste time and go through it. Let's start topic 1." Out of nowhere, they also have the "as year 3 students" phrase just at the tip of their tongue. "As year 3 students you all should know this." "As year 3 students you all should have done this." "As year 3 students you all should...." Yes I know we're indeed year 3 students, but don't assume we know everything, memory do get worse when people age though (esp since it is after the holidays.)

Next, the year 1s. This current batch of year 1s, is like kan chiong to the max. Go everywhere also rush. Food court rush, lecture hall rush and even go toilet also rush. Tsktsk. I know I look like a year 1 lah. But at least be considerate and don't keep pushing and pushing when queuing for food leh ! You hungry? You think I'm not ah? Look at my timetable !

I have to see Mr Chan like for 11 hours for lesson everyweek ! 1 hour tutorial, 2 hours lecture on monday, 2 hours lecture on tuesday, 1 hour tutorial, 2 hours lecture on wednesday and a crazy 3 hours of lab on thursday ! It's not that I don't like him or what. He's a funny lecturer and he's intereactive. But it's just the subject (Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Technology) that is plain boring.. Zzz.

It's very ironic you know. Science is supposed to help save the world. But apparently after today's experience, I seriously wonder...

Went to meet Sherman at the computer lab as he was printing his notes after my tutorial at 10.45. When I reached there, he was already printing. I decided to wait for him to finish, then we go have lunch since I have to rot until 1pm for my next class. He prints and prints, like never ending.. Not his fault though, TP's fault. In the end, he printed a chuck of notes and it was like so damn thick a stack. *To see how much he printed, click the link over to his blog.* It was so much that he didn't have enough paper and had to buy a stack of 500 pieices. According to him, he believes that deforestation is happening because of BMT students and I kinda agree.. Lol. He only finished printing after like 1 and a half hours..

Had my very first lab session of the year today. In a new lab I never been to. Mammalian Cell Tissue culture lab. Nice name eh? Not when you're in it. You need to wear some ridiculous shoe cover OVER your shoes in it. It looks like fashion sense gone wrong in science students. Serious. Also, I wore the white colour labcoat that was dumped in my cupboard for 2months. I still look like a child scientist, according to my friends. >_>!

In the lab, we had to culture/grow tissue cells. Need to transfer this here, transfer this there. The equipment that we use is called the pipette, and the teacher said. "If you're unsure if you touched surface with the pipette tip, throw away the pipette and use a new 1. Also, only use the pipette ONCE." So for example if you need 50ml of this, and your pipette is 25ml, you will need to use 2.

Then, we have to have with us, ethanol wherever we go. I think all scientist's boy/girlfriend would be ethanol soon. Why? We will have to spray ethanol on everything to "clean" it. Before we start, we have to spray on our gloves. Before putting things into the workplace, you have to spray with ethanol on the surface and clean it with a tissue. Next, whatever you bring into the workplace, you HAVE to spray with ethanol as well. After you finish, you have to spray again. When everything is done, you have to spray the surface of the workplace again and wipe with tissue. Spray Spray Spray, the lab is so small that after awhile, the whole place smells of ethanol. They still can tell us ethanol is bad for health leh.

Tomorrow I have lab with Mr Chan. It is alright except for one thing. WE HAVE TO WEAR THE JUMP SUIT. Yes I said jump suit. Sounds weird right? Don't doubt it. It LOOKS weird as well. It's like a spacesuit. It is an overall covering from Head to Toe. In addition, need hair net, face mask, gloves and the shoe cover. Argh. It's gonna mess my hair up !! Ahhhh !!

*To a certain someone: What the fuck is this. You think I don't want listen to you talk for no reason? C'mon lah. Who gives you money so spend? Who gives you the house to stay? Who gives you the chance to even fucking blog about us? It's the person that you fucking give a attitude to. You can give him attitude. But as far as I'm concerned, he's my dad AND I RESPECT MY DAD. You say he's bias? He's one of the most fair people I know. If he's bias, you're nowhere better. What the crap is this for me not talking to you? Have I considered your feelings when I told you to shut up? As if you considered mine when you give me attitude in the past. Whining and treating me so well when I'm needed to do your homework for you. Then scream back in my face when I'm not of use to you? Mom is overboard at times but she's still your mom. I don't like her as well and you know that. But where would we be if there isn't her. If you remember, who was the one who stayed out at night teaching you spelling late into the night when you were young and can't get all right. Who was the one that always stood out to help you when I feel that mom was scolding you for no reason and getting himself into trouble instead. Who was the one that tell mom to be more relaxed with you and let you go out more often with your friends as you needed freedom? I didn't even go out with friends when I'm sec 2. Just home after school everyday. Think about it before you even want to blog about us. If you still think I'm a total crap and useless brother, then fine. I don't need someone like you in my life. Fuck off."

Okay. It is late already and I think I should stop for today. See you people around ! =)

Refreshed..

2009-04-20T20:34:00.005+08:00

Say goodbye to lazying around at home and going out to have fun
and
Say hello to projects, assignments and late nights.

School reopened. I'm officially in my final year in Temasek Polytechnic.. as senior. =o

Lots of things happened today.. I'll start with the sad ones..

Haizz... The first week no tutorial and lab sessions doesn't seem to apply to final year students. Our lessons are like packed to the max. Zzz. There is also so many seminars and workshop for us. Tomorrow got this Overseas SIP Seminar thing for us at 12-2pm. This stupid thing pushed my lecture from 12-2pm to 4-6pm. I actually can go home at 2pm tomorrow. Now, it has become 6pm. Wednesday too. This friday.. I was supposed to have a free day.. BUT. Mammalian Cell Tissue Culture HAD to take it away. THERE IS LAB ON THIS FRIDAY ! AND IT'S FULL DAY ! 9-12pm ! Then 2 hours break, then 2-5pm !! OMG. I wanna cry already luh ! There goes my first perfect friday. This teacher with his accent.. It is so totally un-understandable that if I don't pass this subject and take it again next semster. *Choy Choy* I would probably forget how to speak singlish.

Now comes the funny part.. Firstly, Kairos. There was this part in the lecture notes.
"Liquid Nitrogen"
-Temperature of liq. nitrogen: -196 degrees C
- Major Risks: Frostbite (Cold burn), Explosion.

At this slide..
XJ:"Wow. Explosion.. Science is just way cool.."
Kairos:"Huh? What?"
XJ:"Look at the major risks, EXplosion..."
Kairos:"Oh that. Isn't explosion like.. the fun factor?"
Lols... Explosion.. fun factor ah?

Secondly. This is the super funny 1. At least to me..
I was gonna be late for the mammalian cell tissue culture lecture. But I didn't know where the lecture threatre was. I was running.. and I looked around for any farmilar faces that I know. So I think I looked panicky and like a first year. While I was looking around.. This girl and her group of friends were behind me. She came up and tapped me on my back. So it went like this.

XJ:"Erm. Yeah?"
Girl:"Hello! Are you lost?"
XJ:"o_O Hmm. Nope. I just don't know where my lecture is held.."
Girl:"Oh.. What course are you in?"
XJ:"Pharmaceutical Science."
Girl:"Oh!! I'm your senior ! I'm year 2 !"
XJ:"Eh? But I'm.."
Girl:"How do you find TP? Was your orientation fun?"
XJ:"*Being a nice person and she looked cute.. I answered her questions*"
Girl:"Oh.. Haha.."
XJ:"*Looks at the time.* Erm I'm sorry but I'm quite rushed for time so I have to go now."
Girl:"Ah okay. Byebye ! Good luck with your first day in the school!"
XJ:"Haha. Bye. By the way. I'm in year 3 already.. *Turns around and leave*"
Girl:"Ah?!"

*For people who don't understand my fastastic illustration skills. Just sit there, and Laugh. It's supposed to be funny.*

While walking towards ASc, I can swear that I heard her friends giggling. And she looked paiseh. Lols.. How on earth can this even have happened to me. Mistaken as a first year. >_>!

-XJ.

ready?

2009-04-19T18:57:00.002+08:00

It's 6.56pm and I'm alone at home.

Bored.

My dad and mom are at my godmother's house playing mahjong, and my 2 siblings are out with their godmother.

I am suffering from PSRS (Pre-School Reopening Syndrome). I can't concentrate, play games always die, feeling very panicky. Argh. I hate this feeling. Go away already. Yuck, I still want my holidays. I was looking forward to school before, but the disasterous timetable changed it all. =/
In addition, I went to a website that I haven't been going for the past 2 months. ole-bb.tp.edu.sg.
From there, I got to know that all level 3 PST students have to go for this.. crazy mammalian tissue culture thingy lecture and it's COMPULSORY. And it's a freaking 2 hours !! AHHHHHH!
That changed my 3 hours break into 1 hour. Tsktsk.

Okay Xiangjie. Time to get back to reality. School is starting tomorrow. Yay! >_> Oh well. Who am I kidding right.
I am actually ready for school. I had a haircut, packed my bag (although it's quite empty..), got new stationaries !! Get ready for the new year and CHARGE for graduation !!
I can't believe it, but I'm actually taking out the labcoat that totally doesn't fit my appearance out of my cupboard ! It has been rotting there for 2 months also !

I realised that I haven't sweep and mop the floor. You see lah. I have to sweep and mop the floor like a househusband while my mom is playing mahjong. Wa lao eh. How many 18 year olds do that already man. She still can complain that I'm not good. I think the girl that marries me and becomes my wife quite lucky eh? Hahahahaha !

Oh and btw... My grandmother is just fine. It's my great-grandmother that is in hospital. So stop wishing my grandmother to get better.. Don't curse her leh. Lols !

*Countdown to School Reopening: What is there left to countdown?*

-XJ.

it draws closer..

2009-04-18T21:58:00.002+08:00

The day of school reopening draws closer as I type each letter on this post. This is the last weekend I'm gonna have as a year 2 student and of my holidays. Time sure flies. I was just overjoyed with the start of the holidays, and school is gonna start in 2 days already? Come to think of it, I remember 2 years ago I was still panicking over how to dress, what to bring for the start of school. I'm actually going to start my final year at Temasek Poly, whoa right. Ahhh. Whatever.

I'm quite confused over what I'm feeling now actually. Excited, sian-ed, happy, sad.. Hmm.

Excited because I'm gonna have new classmates and new batch of year 1s coming in.
Sian-ed because I need to look at notes and mug again.
Happy because I can see my friends again.
Sad because the end of my holidays is drawing near...

Hahaha.. Hmmm.

Emotions are such fascinating things right.
They make you smile, they make you frown.
They make you cry, and they can also make you go "wow!"

My great-grandmother is still in the hospital. She can be discharged already, but she has no place to return to. This is because her good-for-nothing useless son (sadly, my great-uncle) ill treated her so much that she doesn't want to go back living with him.
There is a high possibility that this fall my great-grandmother had is caused by his girlfriend. Yes girlfriend, XJ didn't type wrongly. Wth, girlfriend at this age? Does he think he's 21?
What is worse? He said: "She is old already, ask doctor give her injection and let her die lah."
WHAT THE FUCK is that? Why not I give you the injection and let you die? Tsk. Asshole. I swear I'm gonna give him a punch. His so called "girlfriend" is no where better.

"Why is she so stubbon. Just die already."

Eh. Whoever you are, you're in no position to say that. Not when I'm still alive bitch. I'm wishing very hard for my great-grandmother to outlive you. You're just a money-minded woman eyeing for the unfilial man's money (not like he has any to begin with.) So get lost already and leave my great-grandmother alone. Do not let me see you or I will make sure I wash your mouth with soap bitch.

I'm having a headache. A very bad one to be exact. Pre-school opening syndrome? Maybe eh? I don't know leh. Hope it gets better before school starts..

*Countdown to school reopening: 2 days.*

-XJ.

disaster..

2009-04-16T20:47:00.005+08:00

Yes. Totally. I have a super-duper-withoutadoubt-crazy disastrous timetable. Although it is not as bad as the BMT students (Not trying to laugh at them or what). To think I was hopefully for a four day week timetable. I guess life doesn't always go the way that I want it to.

Firstly. To heck with the school server. The stupid website ask me login login. I tried logging in for like 4 hours, keep telling me that "Page cannot be displayed". Waste my precious time.

Finally got into the server after hours of trying, but the timetable wasn't what I wanted. =/
Lessons everyday till late. Like 6 or 7. I think 1 or 2 days go home earlier. Zzz. Where got time to go out like that. Tsktsk. So many lab lessons. Friday is totally what the hell. Lab for the WHOLE DAY. 6 HOURS SIA ! With the same teacher somemore ! Ms Shahedah ! Yeah I'm fine with Ms Shahedah teaching us, but. 6 hours of lab.. Ain't that a little overboard? Yeah. Back to this. I'm still gonna complain. What the heck. Retarded man. APEL lessons are schedule from 6pm to 7pm. Aiyo. Waste time lah. Why are APEL lessons schedule this late?! I rather it be in one of my break times. Everyday got lecture, tutorial, lab, lecture, tutorial, lab. Somemore cGMP is 100% PBL(problem based learning) *faints*. Last semster's 50% PBL subject IPT and DDCT already killed me with their workload. Now, year 3 subject 100% PBL... I don't wanna think about it man. >_<

I have no complains about the teachers though. Miss Tan and Miss Shahedah are teachers who have taught me before, and they're good teachers so alright. Next is Mr Wallace. From Grace and other friends who know him, they think he's alright. So I'm not gonna worried about that. Last teacher is U Tin Lin. I don't know who is that, never heard this teacher before. Hopefully he or she is a nice teacher..

Argh. Hope I survive semster this semster... I don't wanna die so young.

*Oh yes. Congrats to Xue'er and TPJC dance people for getting gold with honours in this year's SYF =)*

-XJ.

Rotting to the max..

2009-04-14T18:40:00.002+08:00

It's a beautiful day... But, I'm rotting at home. Haha..

Been going out for the past few days.. So decided to stay at home today, to prevent mom from nagging me on how often I was going out. So yeah. *Rots away at home.*

Well.. I can't really complain can I? Judging that school is starting in like less that a week. I'm sure that this coming year is gonna be another hectic one for me and my classmates. I just hope that I would still have time to go out with my friends and have fun.

During this holidays I have been lazying around for days and days. Only going out when people ask me to. Pretty boring life ah. I wanted to work but can't find anything to work as. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough?

Being at home does have it's pros and cons.
Pros: I get to save money (which I'm having shortage on) from eating at home and with my parents.
Cons: I get pestered by my little brother to play with him. Lol. Just only somemore, play table tennis with me leh (Influenced by the table tennis TV drama. Hahaha.)

I want to go Tampines One mall ! I wanna go see how is it !! Who can ask me out there ?? Give me a msg or leave a tag leh. I'm too bored. School start I no time le leh.
Talking about tags. Cmon people, tag more often leh. No people tag, no mood to blog also mah. I don't even know anybody is reading what I'm blogging also right? So leave a tag please !!

*Countdown to school reopening: 6 days.*

-XJ.

Super exhausted.

2009-04-13T20:01:00.002+08:00

I'm super tired.

I have no idea how many hours of sleep i owe the sleeping god. In the past few days. I only had 3 hours of sleep in 48 hours. Was really moody these few days. So if I offend anybody around me recently, please let it be forgotten. It's time to pull yourself back XiangJie.

Like I posted. Didn't blog these few days as I was at Bryan's Birthday chalet. Happy 21st Birthday Bryan !

Saturday (11th April):

Met up with sherman, ys, qw and the rest of the gang at JJ. Kai rich luh.. Organize tournament. Didn't wanna join.. Cause no side deck and don't think can win also. Hence don't wanna waste 5 dollar. But was the judge of the day =D. Didn't have much problems from the players, although it's still a very good experience. Haha. By 4pm or so, we took bus to ehub to get to Bryan's chalet.

At there, Ron organized a F-O-C tourney. So, Play lah !! Hahahaha!! Although when the buffet come, everybody disappeared (Too hungry. Lol.) Lots of things done at the chalet. Playing, chatting, crapping, lazying around. The crowd started to go out by 10+ after the cake was cut. I decided to thon over, since go home too boring.

Here's the reason why I only slept 3 hours out of 48 hours. The night was totally out of the world. We only decided to sleep at 5am. Hahaha. There were like 8-10 people in the room. There are people playing deck, people like Guan Liang playing DJ max. And of course myself. How can anywhere be quiet with me around. Lol !! And surely, there are lots of other things that happened hahaha.. Despite that, I really enjoy myself with all the laughter with them. Hahas.
At around 7am, Everybody gave up the thought of sleeping and went to Mac to have breakfast. Haha.

Sunday (12th April):

Went back home to have breakfast with my parents, then made my way back to chalet. My mind finally gave up at around 2pm and fell asleep.. Woke up at around 5 due to the mahjong that people were playing. Lols. The group went to have KFC for dinner and Bryan went to play bowling. But me, ys, qw and gm went back the chalet to watch campus superstar instead. Lol. Strolled home after finish watching campus superstar.

Learnt 2 lessons after thon-ing.

The number 1 lesson. Must remember to have lots of sleep the day before thon-ing or will definately have withdrawal symptoms like I'm suffering from nao. >_>
The number 2 lesson. When thon-ing, MUST split up people who wants to sleep and people who do not want to sleep. For those that are sleeping, MUST split up those that snore and those that do not. Hahahaha.

Once again, happy birthday to Bryan !!

*Reminder: Countdown to school reopening: 7 days.*

Fuck off bitch..

2009-04-10T21:47:00.004+08:00

I'm pissed.

I need somewhere to let off steam.

I feel like beating up somebody.

I feel like crying.

I feel like dying.

I'm at my limits. I'm gonna explode already. I say get out of my life if you're gonna treat me this way. I'm not your maid, I'm not your punching bag. I'm a human who has his rights.

So what you're my mother. So what you're older than me. I give you respect for bringing me up. But if brought me up just to screw up my life. Then i rather not be borned.

I can be a obedient son, or I can revolt against you. All these depends on how you have been treating me too. I get scolding for all things I didn't do. Since sis is the one than gives you attitude, then why the hell are you shooting me with your dumb language instead?

I would have left home or went against you if not for dad. Dad works hard for the family. To give us food, shelter and clothing. What have you done? Nothing. Just plain kpkb-ing every single day. Wrong, you kpkb. Right, you also kpkb. The thing that allows me to carry on in silence is the thought of dad and my friends. You're nothing. Just a figure. So, fuck off from my life if you're just gonna make me suffer.

I'm gonna forget about this, for the sake of the family. But make sure you never cross me again or else I will make you regret you ever know me.

*I'm probably not gonna blog for the next few days. Gonna be at Bryan's chalet.*

Aching..

2009-04-09T09:13:00.003+08:00

Ahhh. It's thursday already. So fast. 11 more days to school starts. I bet that it's gonna be a really busy semster ahead of us. The thought of being in year 3 already scares me.

I can't get to sleep still !! Argh ! This is lame. What I am experiencing is totally defying common sense. I'm like so tired. But I still wake up at 8+ in the morning. Zzzz. My whole body is aching as well, probably too much of shooting baskets at the arcade. >_>

Talking about the arcade, I made a promise to myself that I'll practice and get better at the basketball machine until I can get 700++. But ah. Through out the holiadys, I probably only achieved that once. The rest of the times are like. 643, 672, 688. $%^&^%^&*^%$.

Met some of my relatives recently.. and had a few incidents that proved to me that being in a science course is not good. Not good at all... It was like this. I saw my uncle and auntie.. After greeting them, they started on the usual nonsense.

Uncle&Auntie: "Eh Xiangjie! How is school?"
XJ: "Erm.. Now holidays. When school starts, I'll be in year 3."
Uncle&Auntie: " Whoa! Very fast hor. Last time still hear you take O level results only."
XJ: "Erm. Ya.. Very fast."
Uncle&Auntie: "You're in science course right?"
XJ: "Yes."
Uncle&Auntie: "What you all learn ah?"
XJ: " -.-''.. You all sure you wanna know?"
Uncle&Auntie: "Yeah Yeah."
XJ: "We study how drugs react to our body and how our body react to drugs. We have receptors on our cells and the drugs would bind to the receptors and induce...."
Uncle&Auntie: "EH? Why you talk until so chim! What receptor receptor? Don't go so chim leh!"
XJ: "This is the basis of everything. If this part also die. Paper sure fail le. >_>!"
Uncle&Auntie: "Crazy. Say until so much."
XJ: "Eh. Wth. You people are the ones asking me to tell you what i've been learning. Tsktsk."
*Uncle walks to me alone*
Uncle: "Hey Xiangjie. I ask you ah.. Why do drugs give side effects if it's used to treatment?"
XJ: "..................... You sure you want to know? Don't later scold me again."
Uncle: " Won't lah."
XJ: " Alright. As I said earlier, the receptors on the cells.. There are many many types. Some drugs are not specific to one type of receptor. So it binds to others as well. This would produce other effects and these effects are your side effects."
Uncle: "Ohhhh.. I see.. So smart. Next time be doctor already lah?"
XJ: "Zzzzz. Omg.."

Totally crazy luh. Ask me stuff.. Like I'm a genius like that. This is what the bad impression of science course give. To most people.

Being in science course = Smart, Hardworking, Geek.
Maybe some yes lah. But to me. It's a definite no-no. Hahaha.

-XJ.

Time passes.. Edited

2009-04-07T19:38:00.020+08:00

I'm feeling damn full nao. Because I just finished my dinner. My sibilings and mom are still eating.. And my dad is on the phone with his business client. I think I'm gonna explode soon. I ate too much I think.

Hmmm. Time really passes really fast. Doesn't it? I still remember the time that I was anxiously waiting for my O level results in the hall and trying hard to avoid getting caught by the discipline master for long hair.

This year, I would have already graduated from my secondary school for 3 years already. And on the 20th, I will be starting poly as year 3.. School is gonna start soon. But it feels like just last week that my holidays started.

Ah yesterday. The reason why I didn't blog early in the morning is because Grace wasn't online. Hence, I couldn't get the pictures of yesterday. She came on like.. 4-5pm. But I decided to blog only now because I'm too lazy.

**Edit: Oh yes. For those people who have known me since secondary or primary school, I HAVE GROWN TALLER ! Haha. I'm 1.71m already as compared to 1.5m at secondary four (Yes. It was THAT bad. Until even girls are taller than me. >_>!)**

Yesterday was really fun. Had lots of laughs, whining, war, everything. It feels just like being in school without the stress of assignments and projects or exams.

As from the previous post. I met Kairos, Shobana and Agnes at Bedok interchange at 1. We went Sheng Siong Supermarket to buy extra food. As usual, Kairos and Agnes were quarreling over what to get, what not to get. Lols.
Kairos: "Hmm. I don't think alot of people like crab stick. Let's not we don't get. Not nice one."
Agnes: "Ehhh. Nice to eat lor. I like crab stick ! So does Crystal. Buy !"
Kairos: "... Yeah lah. I don't know why Crystal likes it. But you, I know. You are CraP what. Crap Ball to be exact."
Everybody:" LOL! Hahahahaha!"

Kairos looking like uncle at the supermarket. =o

So much stuff. Are they preparing for cows?

The cost was like.. $50.45. Lols. BBQ food was already booked and would be delivered to us. =o

The 4 of us reached East Coast Park earlier than planned and we're bored. Until we remembered that Agnes can't cycle. So we decided to be kind people and teach Agnes how to cycle. =D

Kairos and Shobana, with agnes on the bicycle.

Trying to pose for the camera ah? Haha.

Fortunately, after lots of whining and holding and running around, Agnes got a hold of it and could cycle. Yay ! Although she did have lots of crashes and falls here and there. But she survived. Haha ! Thank us okay Cacat!

Kairos, Bana, Betilda and me decided to cycle. We cycled to Bedok Jetty and so many people fishing there. The sunset is very pretty too. I didn't take any pictures. Too tired from cycling.
When we went back. It's almost time to eat and most of the peeps are there already !

Time to eat!

Barbeque Barbeque Barbeque~(Does dennis look like satay man? =P)

Look at Kairos and Bana.. Waiting for food only ! Haha !

Eh.. Opps. Crystal ! Why you take picture of me eating. Take when I'm working lah !

What's up yo ! (Grace INSISTED we MUST do this. >_>.)

PST'08 ! (The cohort is 70+. This is not everybody. lols)

Part 2 !

Everybody was eating and chatting happily. But something was coming up after dinner though.
Agnes: "Eh. I got to go at 10pm. It's only 9.15pm though."
Lols. This was the cue for mission codenamed "Aim Agnes" LOL!

Wow. Shobana's fully armed.

Kairos with his behind the back sneak attack. Lols.

The war is won ! Haha !! Poor Agnes. Lucky you brought something to change into.

Shobana ! We WERE commades ! Not anymore when you threw that bomb at me !

Eh? Out of ammo ah? Game Over.

Hahas. So as you all can see. Kairos decided to make Agnes drenched before she goes home that day. So, mission accomplished. Lols.
We dried ourselves after that and continue to eat again. Most people started to go back already.

We were still there until 11 and we decided to take the cab home. Just in case as when we reach the bus stop, the last bus is gone. Then we would be goners. Haha.
Yeah. It was fun. At least I had fun. So. Thanks for all the organizers for the BBQ party. Remember to invite me for BBQs alright people? =)

Fear..

2009-04-06T11:38:00.003+08:00

Start of a new week. And yeah. Monday Blues. Why? I don't know. Maybe the day? Maybe the atmosphere? ???

Had a nightmare last night.. It was the same one that I had before. Scary.

I was just walking along a path with all my family and friends. Talking, chatting, laughing like always. But gradually, the noise from the group got softer and softer. The number of people around me were getting lesser and lesser. It's like they just left me. Before I can decide on what to do, everybody is already gone. I am left alone in the dark, lonely path. I tried running down the path, looking for any familiar faces. But to no avail. Suddenly, I would start falling.. falling.. falling and when i hit the bottom, I would wake up.

What actually causes fear? Why is there fear in the world? Enlighten me? Is it true that everybody in the world would have fear in them?

If yes, then mine is probably fear of being left alone? Being lonely is sure gonna kill me.
What yours?

Just came back from central. And wow, thanks to my parents for giving me such a child-lookalike face, I actually got mistaken as the youngest child at home by like 99.5% of my parent's friends. Today for example, 2 people already. Just at central. "Eh? Your son no school ah?" "No ah. Holiday." "Oh, he sec 4 finish O level ah?" "No. He's already gonna be year 3 in Poly in April already." " OH! He's your eldest son ah? I thought he's your youngest. Haha." "zzzz." How can they even make that mistake. I'm like 19 this year, and my brother is like only 11 this year. How to make such mistake sia. 8 years difference leh. Do I really look that young? Or look so much like my brother? But people say my brother look more handsome leh. o.o?

Ahhh. Wth.

Gonna meet Kairos, Shobana and Agnes at Bedok interchange. Prepare stuff for the bbq later. Suppose to meet at 1. So I'm going off or I'll be late for sure and Shobana warned me about being late. (She knows me too well. Zzz)

Unlucky day.

2009-04-05T12:49:00.002+08:00

5th April is definitely an UNLUCKY day for XJ.

Woke up in the morning, couldn't get back to sleep again. Maybe is due to my brother turning the volume of the TV so loud. I cannot find my phone the first thing in the morning already. After hunting for it around the room, I found it below my pillow (How it got there? I have no idea.) Despite looking so hard for it, it was out of batt.

Hence, I had to rely on my next source of entertainment. PSP. So suay !! It is also battery-less. >_>. Arghhhh. *&#^$&^%#%.

Oh well. I didn't have a choice so i decided to go back to sleep again. Tried so many ways of making myself fall asleep. Counting sheep, doing nothing, roll around on the bed, I even tried to remember the crazy drugs names to get myself sleepy. Lucky for once, all these paid off and I went back to dreamland...

Or not.

Before I know it, my room was filled with...... my mom's voice. "EH !! Wake up already lah ! What time already!? We're going out to eat soon ! Oi! oi! OI!!!"

"Yeah yeah yeah. I'm awake already. How can anybody continue sleeping after you screaming at them. You probably woke up the neighbours also le. >_>!"

Great. Now even my computer is going against me. It just died on me because I forgot to turn on the plug. Luckily, draft gets autosaved or I'm probably gonna be too lazy to blog already.

You see. What a lousy morning. Totally ridiculous. Tsk. Forget it.

Went to visit my great-grandmother yesterday and friday. As with what my parents said.. Her condition is very bad. The fall is so bad that she has 10+ sitches on her head. The nurses have to tie her hands by the bed to prevent her from going to scratch the part to prevent infection. Makes me very sad to see that. I can do nothing but to hope that she gets well soon.

Bored? Yeah, totally..

2009-04-03T09:31:00.003+08:00

Hey guess wad. I'm blogging again! Lol. It's the third day that the blog is created and I had a post for everyday. Probably because I'm too darn bored already. I think i may just go crazy if I've got nothing to do.

Well, somebody great once said, "A blog post a day, keeps insanity away." (Guess who said it)
So yeah. I'm here to keep insanity away.

Fortunately, I'm gonna go out later, meeting sherman and ys at whitesands. SO, I will not be stuck at home for the third consecutive day. Yay !

Anyway, I'm currently feeling damn irritated due to the sleep debt that I owe myself. I need 15 hours of sleep a day and I'm only getting like 5 this few weeks. Yes, I know it's the school holidays and I can sleep for I-have-no-idea-how-long BUT I just can't get to sleep at night. I'll get on to bed by 10+ and only fall asleep by 2-3am then waking up at 8 (then cannot get back to sleep. zzz) Stress? Angry? Thinking about somebody? I don't know. I just can't get to sleep.

Maybe I should take other's advice and take sleeping pills. But unhealthy leh. I don't like the idea of taking medication just to sleep.

I came to realise that it's April already and April would be a damn busy month for me. Lemme take a look at my schedule. Lol.

6th April: BBQ with Kairos,Shobana and the PST gang =o
8th April: Bryan is coming back from his training camp at Taiwan
April 10th-12th: Bryan's 21st birthday chalet (Sian, need spend money. =P)
April 15th-16th: Helpout at Year 1 orientation overnight camp (Can see pretty girls. *Grins*)
April 20th: Start of school as Year 3 (Senior =O YS still Junior =P)

So yeah, It's gonna be quite crazy for me in the month of April. Can't complain, at least I have something to do rather than just being stuck at home. =/
On a side note, I passed my supp paper. So i CLEARED BPHARM. No more diuretics, Parkinson's Disease and all!! =D

Oh yes, if you want to be linked, leave a tag alright. Haha.

Right. Going off nao. See you people around and round. Lols.

Sick..

2009-04-02T13:44:00.003+08:00

I'm still... sick.. Haiizz.

This is ridiculous. My rhinorrhea (runny nose) and sore throat is getting nowhere better..
Makes it so difficult to breathe at night when I'm trying to sleep. I seriously need some loratadine (antihistamine). Hahas! Okay enough with the scientific freak side..

What I am experiencing is nothing compared to what others are having.

My great-grandmother is hospitalized. According to my parents, she fell down due to her slippers being too slippery while exiting from the lift. My parents went to visit her at the hospital yesterday and they said that her condition is very bad. She's cannot talk to us and she's showing signs of memory loss.. The doctors cannot do surgery on her as she's of an old age (84). This saddens me a lot as my great-grandmother is always very cheerful whenever I visit her and this had to happen.. We don't even know if we still will see her next year anot..

All these made me think. Is life so fragile? My great-grandmother was just fine the other day and 1 fall made everything disappear. I miss the times where she would talk to me in english, asking how I have been, what i have been doing and such. I don't know. I really don't know.

Oh yes. Just nao was totally ridiculous. This shop auntie is uber attitude. Below is the exact senario of what happened at the shop earlier.

XJ's mom: *Looked at the bread and pick 1 up.* Says: Erm, excuse me, what is spreaded
in between the bread? (As in Kaya, butter, cream etc.)
Shop auntie: *Without looking* Says: Bread.
XJ: Eh? wth?? Auntie you sure anot, bread inside spread bread ah? Your shop baker all so damn
pro ah. I want to learn leh.
Shop auntie: -.- Inside put cream.
XJ's mom: *Puts back the bread and leaves the shop.*

LOL? Wth right? Bread inside spread bread? Smart sia. Attitude shop people always says some of the stupidiest things.

First post..

2009-04-01T11:53:00.006+08:00

First Post.

Alright. Yeah Yeah, I finally created a blog.

This is due to the overwhelming boredom that I'm experiencing from the holidays. Ironic isn't it? How i was complaining over everything about school, projects, assignments, exams and all. I may regret saying this, I kinda miss school.

What should I post about.. Maybe about yesterday??

Tuesday: Yesterday woke up early because I couldn't sleep after waking up at 8.30am despite only falling asleep at 3am (insomnia sucks). So just lie on the bed and daydream.. Until I realised that there is an invention called the computer.

Went to meet sherman, yesiang and gang before going to kbox ! Was feeling abit emo-ish in the morning (Due to some reasons obviously.) but the session took me off it for awhile. Sing and sing until 9pm O_O (Started at 2pm, so 7hours kbox. wth). Peter treated us to pastemania!! Thanks Pete !! Saved me money for dinner. HAHAHAHA.

Wednesday: Okay. This morning, I woke up in a start. Because I fell off my bed and landed on my head. zzz. I have a bump on my head nao. Tsktsk. I realised that I have sore throat also, too much singing maybe?

Was asking Sherman to teach me about making the blog and it totally killed my&his morning already.. Hahaha. Thanks Sherman !

My neighbour's alarm system suddenly rang when I was typing this post and it was wth noisy like don't know wad lah ! @_@

Alright, I'm hungry and going out to eat. So going off for nao ! Hope to see tags ah.
And BTW, Happy April Fool's Day People ! Don't get tricked too much alright? =P

*Random-ness note*: I cut my nails yesterday because sebastian wanted to ask me go play basketball. But apparently I cut them too short and nao, I have difficulties trying to use my phone's touchscreen cause not precise enough?!?!? AHHHH WTH?! >_>!
