The Bright Sunshine

Getting sick from to much of interim reporting! Spending a lot of time copying, pasting & editing information from the web. See until eyes blur @_@

I’ve been leading a healthy lifestyle recently. Sleeping by 1am, and waking by 8am everyday. And I’m already feeling dead tired. I wonder if I can survive those 9-5 jobs full time.

Happy Birthday meimei! You’re 1 yr old today! Happy Birthday to WenShi as well! Gosh i’m feeling old!

What’s going on with the migrating over to wordpress these days? Everyone’s changing. -_-”

Went KSS this evening, as the guardian of one of the students. Was reminded of the day when I first stepped into then-NHSS. How come we do not have such comprehensive orientation camps / IT programmes those days? Unfair. >< I felt old, especially when those who were there with me are parents. haha.. Dead tired. Tired till I've forgotten what I wanted to talk about regarding the topic. bah! I will be busy interm-reporting these days. Don't jio me go out hor.. No mahjong till CNY.  No shopping till AFTER CNY. 'Coz I'm broke. Goddamn broke. Shall scrimp & save!

Feeling rather speechless actually.. as in.. I don’t know what to type.

Was discussing hyper-actively with my gang on what photos to include in our year book. We’re graduating! Hopefully for me. In the end, only Fen & I were deciding on the details. -_-”

While looking through the photos we took in NTU, I realise.. I looked so much slimmer when I was in yr 1! oh no.. it’s really time to slim down! No idea why my legs built up so much muscles! Due to too much walking?

Went school for lecture this morning. I expected to be in school for 1 hour, since the 2nd hour is meant for tutorial which starts only next week. 25minutes into the lecture, “This is going to be a short lecture. I don’t intend to start on the next chapter”.. Which means to say, I’m out of school within 35minutes. LOL.. 3 hours of transportation time spent, for a half-hour lecture??? How great.

Another humour. Kudos to the writer who has such an excellent way of writing! An article in the Nanyang Chronicle (Jan 07)

And NTU is in the news for the wrong reason again!

No wonder > 90% of students are saying they’re not fond of the school. The reason they are there is simply because of the paper that is called bachelor degree.

A bit late.. but still.. just some humour =D

Feels weird to realise that this is my last First-Day-Of-School! Unless I decide to step onto the school compound again.

Been a great day! Except that I had a 3-hour long lecture early in the morning. Within 45mins, I was already losing concentration. 15-30mins before the break, I was already happily playing games on Yix’s new handphone. Luckily I stopped early enough to hear the important words “these pages shall be skipped”. Haah! Bad choice to have a 3-hr long lecture. I wonder who’s the smart alec to plan such a schedule. Who on earth is able to concentrate for the full 3 hours? It’s not like it’s 3 1-hour lecture. It’s 3 continuous lecture of the same module! And I pity the lecturer, who was coughing non-stop during the 3hr lecture. >.< oh did I mention that this lecture is made up of not just CE (my course) & CS (Computing Sci) students, there are MASTERs students too! Why are MASTERs students taking the same module as us? Isn't it too easy for them since undergraduates are studying it? Or should I say, why are we undergraduates studying the same module as MASTERs students?!?! Isn't that too difficult for us?? The first day of school.. counting down to the last day of school?

been busy for the past 2 days.. going school to help supervise the cleaning of the hostel room, kopi session.. haha..

had such a severe headache this evening, that I couldn’t tahan the pain and went to sleep at 7pm without taking dinner. Woke up at 10pm, just nice dad came back and we had durians!

Gosh.. I can feel that my throat is staging a rebellion! Just pray it doesn’t get worse when sch reopens on Mon! I need to stay away from fried food, especially McDonalds & western food. =X

The motivation recently, is the craze over the currently-still-showing 《花樣少年少女》 (Hanazakarino Kimitachihe) starring Ella from SHE, 吳尊 (Wu Zun) & 汪東城 (Wang Dong Cheng) from 飛輪海 (Farenheit, the new Taiwanese group).

It is this show that kept me looking forward to the next day, as there’s only 1 episode each week. Quite an interesting show, kind-of gayish, but it’s comical.

Seriously can’t wait for the vcds to come to SG!

And yes.. I’m still up at this hour ‘coz I had been trying to install matlab onto my laptop. 3 unsuccessful tries! Each try took me 1 hour! hai..

Giving up!! Shall go sleep =(

Literally went around the west of Singapore this morning.

XW fetched me from home only at 1am. After picking Jkai & Jem up and sending XW’s gf home, we reached Bt Gombak for prata only at ard 1.50am. But the shop was closed!

A quick decision to go Bt Timah’s branch. So crowded that there are people waiting for tables.

Feng Seng was out as none of us wanted to eat Nasi Lemak. Decided on West Coast Park McDonalds. Parked the car, walked into Mac, couldn’t find vacant tables! And the beach is so crowded you won’t know it’s already 2+am!

The almost-devastated us decided to go West Coast Hawker for Wanton mee instead. But but but! The stall ain’t open! ><" Sianz.. decided on the safest place, Taman Jurong McDonalds! The most ulu place which few people will visit in the middle of the night. And we reached, 10 metres away from the McDonalds door, their lights went off!!! *stunned* Turned out to be a blessing in disguise. *phew* Power trip! wahhaha! Finally settled down at 2.30am. Halfway through our fries... the whole place blacked out again >.<" Apparently the place is well known for its frequent power trips. LOL!

Before the clock strikes 12.. sounds so cliché =

Anywayz.. Made the most daring decision in my whole life today. Was on my way home from tuition in the evening, and was about to cross the road when bus 975 came. Made an impromptu decision to hop on it. Had always been curious how Lim Chu Kang looks like, and I’ve been saying I wanna explore that area. haha.. And yes.. bus 975 goes that place. Took me an hour before the bus went back to CCK, including a short 5-10mins break at LCK Terminal. It was an eye-opener journey, seen SG in the 60s – 70s. Nurserys, vegetable farms .. Oh and I saw the LCK jetty! Almost wanted to run towards it, but was reminded of me being the alien there. Ya I said alien, ‘coz every1 kept looking at me throughout the journey, as though I was an alien from outer space! Was quite scared actually.. but I believed the driver will bring me back to CCK safely. XD

Felt so proud of myself, that I fulfilled one wish of mine. hahaa… There will be another time, definitely! You’ll never know how amazing any journeys can be.

One wish fulfilled for the year 2006. There’s more to go. Will year 2007 be a more enriching one? =)

Oh and I read in the magazine that 《恶作剧之吻 2》 cast remains the same! Woohoo! It will be on the marriage life of 江直树 and 袁湘琴. Let’s wait and hope to see a comical version of it? hee!

***********************************************

Edit at 11.30pm: Feels so weird to be spending the last hour of 2006 at home. And it’s worse off having to spend the minutes with a sore throat and a constant cough. =(

Happy 2007 to all my avid readers! May the year ahead be a blessful and enriching one for you!
