Get to know yourself better

2006-11-03T05:02:00.000+08:00

Try it... Seems fun.. hahaha...

Get to know yourself better

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education

Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Chinese song

2006-10-28T23:15:00.000+08:00

You'll never get bored listening to classic chinese song... :)

I'm not stupid!!

2006-10-27T12:36:00.000+08:00

I'm not stupid... Just acting like one...

Don't think I don't know anything... I know lots of things...

I'm a man with sixth senses...

Why am I always right??

2006-10-27T11:25:00.000+08:00

hate it.. hate it.. hate it...

my intuition is right again!!!

Updates

2006-10-26T01:51:00.000+08:00

Well, Well.. It's been a long time since I updated the blog... hmmm... busy? lazy? Maybe both...

Okie, Okie... I'm still surviving in the foreign land...

Lots of travelling were done in the past 2 months... Places I've been to... Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, Grand Canyon, Sedona, Page and New Mexico.. hmmm... did I miss out any?? Oh well... You can take a look at the photos I took @ http://www.zorpia.com/heaveno...

Other things I did over here... learning golf, playing tennis, cooking and flying plane!!

Life seems exciting over here...

Sighz... But just dunno why... suddenly starts feeling down... loneliness?? maybe...

So many things started running in my head... Mostly are questions like "should I or should I not??"

I hate it when my intuitions are always correct... Why must they be always correct??? I hope they are terribly wrong this time... Just hoping for the best this time... *keeping my fingers crossed*

Camelback Mountain

2006-08-30T08:17:00.000+08:00

The journey was tough, but worth it..

Good view from the top of Echo Canyon.. But got to climb about 1.2 miles up!! The distance may be short, but think about it, under the hot sun...

Okie.. without further delay.. I present the journey at the Camelback Mountain..

It all started early in the morning on the 19/8...

and I'm all ready to conquer the mountain..

Then... the journey began...

Can you see how steep it is?!?!

and I finally reached the 1 mile mark... but there still got some more to go.. Jia you...

Finally... Reached the top.. Yeah Yeah!!

Nice view right?!?

Mission completed.. I had conquered the camelback mountain..

Welcome, Welcome..

2006-08-17T12:41:00.000+08:00

Welcome Shilin to Phoenix, Arizona.. Welcome!!

She's here on exchange at Arizona State University with Alecia..

Hope they have a great time only here..

I think their first great experience must be the hot and sunny weather over here..

Why you think so much ah??

2006-08-11T12:52:00.000+08:00

"why you think so much ah?"

Well.. that was the question I asked a fren of mine few days ago..

She's currently working at Dubai, UAE now... All alone without family and sg frens..

Sometime, I would feel that her blog entries are always filled with emptiness.. loneliness.. deep thoughts..

She replied.. "nothing to do.. think lor.."

Now, I'm starting to have the same mentality as her liao..

"nothing to do.. think lor.."

NDP fireworks!!

2006-08-11T12:28:00.000+08:00

Never got the chance to watch this year NDP fireworks..

But thanks to youtube... I can watch some of it online..

wow!!

So beautiful!!!

Did I told you that I love every moments watching fireworks...

Personal Usage vs Group Usage

2006-08-10T12:36:00.000+08:00

How do you define "personal usage"??

Hmmm... For personal use?

Use the items for your personal benefits?

To me.. "personal usage" seems to be in the grey zone of the "group usage"..

If out of your personal benefits, you get everyone to use the items with you, issit "personal usage" or "group usage"? issit "personal benefits" or "group benefits"?

For example, if you know that buying 10 apples is cheaper than buying only 1.. you get 9 other people to buy apples together with you, although you knew that the others don't want to eat apple but dun mind buying it..

Issit personal benefits or group benefits??

Getting everyone to go to the place that YOU want to go is a group activity, whereas others going to places alone is a personal activity..

Using shared item for personal usage got to pay extra while hidden personal agenda usage don't...

pissed with such logic...

Photos Upload!

A Shoulder To Cry On (Tommy Page)

2006-07-18T19:44:00.000+08:00

Life is full of lots of up and downs,
And the distance feels further
When you're headed for the ground,
And there is nothing more painful
Than to let you're feelings take you down

It's so hard to know
The way you feel inside,
When there's many thoughts
And feelings that you hide,
But you might feel better
If you let me walk with you by your side

Chorus:
And when you need a shoulder to cry on,
When you need a friend to rely on,
When the whole world is gone,
You won't be alone, cause I'll be there,
I'll be your shoulder to cry on,
I'll be there,
I'll be a friend to rely on,
When the whole world is gone,
you won't be alone, cause I'll be there.

All of the times when everything is wrong
And you're feeling like
There's no use going on
You can't give it up
I hope you work it out and carry on

Side by side,
With you till the end
I'll always be the one to firmly hold your hand
no matter what is said or done
our love will always continue on

Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on
everyone needs a friend to rely on
When the whole world is gone
you won't be alone cause I'll be there
I'll be your shoulder to cry on
I'll be there
I'll be the one you rely on
when the whole world's gone
you won't be alone
cause I'll be there!

And when the whole world is gone
You'll always have my shoulder to cry on

The Five Love Languages

2006-04-11T16:39:00.000+08:00

My primary love language is probably
Quality Time
with a secondary love language being
Physical Touch.

Complete set of results

Quality Time:		10
Physical Touch:		7
Words of Affirmation:		5
Acts of Service:		4
Receiving Gifts:		4

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Life is fragile...

2006-04-03T15:50:00.000+08:00

Two major news occurred this 2 weekends... and both involved someone I know...

First was a army colonel who had SCD during a biathon and passed away...

Well.. he was my CO when I was serving my NS in 3rd guards... A very nice man and a great motivator that motivate the unit to fight... He's a great man I truly and only respect in the army...

But everything just ended for him...

Second news was the boat tragedy in Bahrain and 4 singaporeans were killed in the tragedy...

Sad to say.. One of the victim is my secondary school friend...

So surprise so sudden...

Life is really really fragile... It can simply just ended anywhere and anytime...

Guess we must learn to live our daily life to the fullest... we simply don't know when it will end...

" The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. "
-- Psalm 23 NIV

Bad, bad boy...

2006-03-30T05:31:00.000+08:00

Exams in two weeks time... and I just went to Zouk to chiong... bad. bad boy...

haiz... wat happens to me?? why am I so slack in my final year?? Though final year is the most important year in uni.. yet I decided to give up at the final lap...

Guess I'm just not myself anymore...

Promise me

2006-03-24T03:42:00.000+08:00

Hmmm... was really wondering... do teenagers really understand "love"...

not saying that as if I'm that old.. it's just that I was surfing around friendster looking at friends' friends... Well.. some of the them are attached at around 16-18... and they were saying how much they love their gf or bf and making promises that they will love each other forever.. or she's or he's the one... they can't live without each other... promise that he/she will not leave her/him.. bleah bleah bleah...

But at the end of the day... how much of these promises are fulfilled?

People do change... especially as you grow older.. you'll start to see more of this world... you'll feel that I'm still young, I can find a better guy/girl than you, why should I still be with you...

hmmm... can I classified such love as puppy love?

I must say that I also made such promises b4... and I'm sorry to break them too...

But now... if I get to find the girl of my heart... I will surely always cherish her...

Engineers - best boyfriend! Yeah!!

2006-02-02T11:09:00.000+08:00

Let me tell you why girls should eventually marry an engineer over a Law, management, Arts or Medical School Graduate. He has three distinctadvantages over the rest of the graduates.

Advantage 1: Secure lifestyle

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

An engineer boyfriend can provide you with a secure lifestyle. At 27 years old, an engineer probably has a respectable, stable job that gives him a high income to own a car, invest, have a comfortable life, and get married and buy a house too. Law graduates are still working as a lowly apprentice in law firm. Most management graduates have just failed on their first business plan. The arts graduate is still looking for a job. And the medical school graduate is still living in a hospital.

Advantage 2: Unmatchable industriousness

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

An engineer boyfriend will dedicate an unimaginable amount of his time and effort to understand you. Engineers strain really really hard to understand their work. You can believe that they will try really really hard to understand women too, just like how they understand their work, once they believe that you are the one. So even if they don't understand you initially, they will keep on trying. Even if they still do not understand, they will figure out the correct method to keep you happy (e.g. buy diamond ring = 1 week's worth of happiness.) And once they find out the secret formula, they will just keep on repeating it so that the desired results appear. Unlike the Lawyer who will argue with you. The Management graduate who will try to control your spending, The Arts graduate who will 'change major'. And the medical school graduate who will operate on you. And you know what, it's really so easy to make engineers believe that you are the 'one'. Say that you like one of their project and they will be hooked to you forever.

Advantage 3: An engineer boyfriend will never betray your trust.

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

Let me first tell you what is wrong with the rest of the others - The lawyers will lie about everything. Management graduates will cheat your money. The arts graduate will flirt, and you probably just look like another cadaver to the medical school graduate. Your engineer boyfriend is either too busy to have an affair, and even if he does, he is too dumb to lie to you about that. Hence, an engineer is the most secure boyfriend that you will ever find - rich enough, will keep on trying to understand and please you, has no time for affairs, and too dumb to lie to you.

So girls, why procrastinate? Get an engineer for your boyfriend! And above all, Engineers understand and applies the Right Hand Rule which means the best!! hahahahahahahhaa

Principles of Economics = Principles of Life

2006-01-07T12:04:00.000+08:00

Attended the make-up lecture for Principles of Economics... very interesting...

Today lecture is on the basic of economics.. supply and demand curve...

For those who studied economics before, this is like peanuts to you...

what supply and demand curve is all about is...

If demand unchanged, increase in supply of the products, will cause the price to drop, quantity sold to increase and vice versus.

If supply unchanged, increase in demand of the products, will cause the price to increase, quantity sold to increase and vice versus.

The demand and supply must react complement with each other in order to gain the socially optimal levels.

Then in the way walking before hostel, I started thinking about the lecture... then I wonder... can it be applied to our life... hmmmm....

I started thinking that chasing after girls is something like the demand and supply curve.

For examples, the love you give is the supply and the love the girl wanna receive is the demand...

Let's talk about the increase in supply first... and see what will happen...

Initially, if you like the girl, you'll shower her with more love, thus increasing the supply for love...

case 1:
If the girl remains untouched and totally no feeling for you (no change in demand), it will make you look cheap and stupid (prices decrease) but the chances for her avoiding you later increase (quantity increase).

case 2:
If the girl also likes you (increase in demand), the supply and demand will be equal and both will gain in optimal levels.

case 3:
If the girl dislike you (decrease in demand), it will make you look more cheap and stupid (prices further decrease) but the chances for her avoiding you later decrease(quantity decrease), meaning that she will not avoid you that much...

Now we talk about the increase in demand... i.e. the girl wanna have more love for you...

case 1:
If you remains untouched and totally no feeling (no change in supply), it will make you look more appealing (prices increase) but the chances for her avoiding you later increase (quantity increase), cos she'll be pai seh for looking cheap and stupid...

case 2:
If you also likes her(increase in supply), the supply and demand will be equal and both will gain in optimal levels.

case 3:
If you dislike the girl (decrease in supply), it will make you look even more appealing (prices further increase) but the chances for her avoiding you later increase (quantity increase), hmmm... but lesser compared to case 1...

See.. economics can be applicable in life... I hope to explore more on it... hee...

PS: if anyone who is strong in econs spotted mistake in my equation, tell me hor.. cos I still new in the whole of econs... Xp

Happy Happy New Year!!

2006-01-01T15:02:00.000+08:00

Finally!! 2005 had come to an end... Welcome 2006... Looking forward for a better year... yeah!

It's the first time I spent my new year celebration with my hostel mates... Since it's my last year in NTU, I thought why not spent it with them...

First, Junliang, Jianliang and I went for a show called "moonlight in tokyo".. acted by Leon Lai.. just in case you all dunno who is he.. he was one of the 4 HK heavenly kings... comment about the show... hmmm.. very hard to describe... guess it's best if you go watch yourself.. wahahaha...

After the show, we went for a hot and spicy Ma La streamboat.. the dumpling was good... but once we hit our "marginal utility"... every dumpling seems like a terror to us... haha..

Finally meet up the others around 9:30pm... Went to the "plub" - since we dunno to call it a pub or club.. we decided to call it a "plub"... as usual.. it's all about drinking, card games, more drinking... well.. someone even got drunk by 11pm... haiz.. hopeless...

K'sen rulez..

Then, it's the final countdown... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Happy New Year!!

sprays attack!!

look what happened to our drinks!!!

everybody... squeeze!!

2006.. a brand new year with a brand new start... looking forward on how 2006 can make a difference in my life...

Cheers!!

No news is Bad news... sighz

2005-11-17T17:39:00.000+08:00

Finally, Deutsche Bank HR called...

Thanking me for my time and saying how great am I to reach the 2nd interview...

BUT...

Unfortunately, the other candidates performed better than me during the interview and there are only limited placements...

So...

Good bye London... Good bye Deutsche Bank... Good bye high salary job...

Managed to get the feedback for my interview from the HR:

1) He did some basic research on the bank and read the Q3 report. But not in-depth enough. Need to have a better understanding about the bank and their core business. Need to talk to people who are working in investment bank line to understand the job better.

2) Miss the overall bigger picture in some situations.

3) Know his work well.

sighz...

Reasons why man fail with woman

2005-11-17T03:11:00.000+08:00

Heard it over the radio and find it so interesting to share with everyone.

Reasons why man fail with woman

1. Being too much of a nice guy.

2. Trying to buy her affection.

3. Looking for her approval.

4. Trying to convince the woman to like you.

5. Thinking it takes money and looks.

6. Give up even before starting.

7. Sharing your feeling too early.

Hmmm... how many of the above points are describing me?

No news is Good news

2005-11-17T02:59:00.000+08:00

Went for the 2nd interview for Deutsche Bank on Monday.

Performed worse than my first interview.

Can anyone tell me what are bonds? Equity? Target of Deutsche Bank for next year?

"I don't know" was my answers... haha...

Well... 2 days had passed. They haven't call me about their decision yet.

No news is good news... at least they are still considering whether to employ me or not... hee...

Let's Take A Break

2005-10-31T02:35:00.000+08:00

Quoted from "Our Daily Bread"

According to tradition, when the apostle John was overseer in Ephesus, his hobby was raising pigeons. It is said that on one occasion another elder passed his house as he returned from hunting and saw John playing with one of his birds. The man gently chided him for spending his time so frivolously.

John looked at the hunter's bow and remarked that the string was loose. "Yes," said the elder, "I always loosen the string of my bow when it's not in use. If it stayed tight, it would lose its resilience and fail me in the hunt."

John responded, "And I am now relaxing the bow of my mind so that I may be better able to shoot the arrows of divine truth."

We cannot do our best work with nerves taut or frayed from constant pressure. When Jesus' disciples returned from a strenuous preaching mission, their Master recognized their need for rest and invited them to come with Him to a quiet place where they could be refreshed (Mark 6:31).

Hobbies, vacations, and wholesome recreation are vital to a well-balanced, godly life. We lose our effectiveness by keeping our lives so tightly strung that we are always tense. If it seems we can't relax, Jesus may be inviting us to take a break—to "come aside . . . and rest a while." —Dennis De Haan

If our body, soul, and spirit
Are to function at their best,
Time is needed for renewal,
Time for leisure, time for rest. —D. De Haan

If Christians do not come apart and rest a while, they may just plain come apart!

Wah!! Bonus!!

Received an e-mail this morning...

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

Dear Wee Teck

Thank you for taking the time to interview with Deutsche Bank recently. On behalf of the Technology representatives with whom you met, it was a pleasure to speak with you and discuss your experience and career interests. The feedback from the interviewers was very positive and we would like to invite you back for a second interview.

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

Wah!! I actually made it through the first interview!! Thought I performed badly for the interview... well... apparently the interviewers don't think so...

So happy now... looking forward for the second (final) interview...

In the meantime, must go and research more about the firm and information about investment banking... Xp

Have faith in God and confident in myself.

so much like exams

2005-10-27T12:17:00.000+08:00

Went for the first round interview for Deutsche Bank this morning. kanna stress and nervous for it... well, it's my first job interview for the start of my long-term career lor... So much so that I couldn't even sleep last night.

Well... As for the interview... Hmmm... didn't perform well cos I simply got no idea what's an investment bank does! Read thru Deutsche Bank website, but they never really explains that. Or did they?? hee... Think it's always good to have a bit of business finance background if you wanna work in a bank.

Other then lack of banking knowledge, I think I also didn't answer the questions well too... Keep repeating what I said, pause halfway, never answer the questions, blah, blah, blah... haiz...

To summarise this interview experience, total disaster... Xp

Haha... nvm lah... through this interview... It started to make me wonder why I wanna work in a bank... am I really that interested in working in a bank??

Guess my answer is simply $$$... Got $$ no interest also nvm... Show me the $$, Deutsche Bank... wahahaha

To pass is a bonus, to fail is a norm... hmmm... does that statement hold?

Lost No More

2005-10-24T13:44:00.000+08:00

I kept wondering why ppl think I'm not the type of guy that I thought I am. Finally made awake by my frens. Realised that it's is not others who mistaken the type of person I am, it's b'cos I keep giving them the wrong impressions. What I'm showing the others is how they see me... Guess they are right...

ok, okie, I am not a chiongster nor a drunken... But my actions just show otherwise.

Recently dunno wat happen to me, very lost. Lost of direction, lost of focus, lost of goals...

BUT I WILL NOT BE LOST ANYMORE!!!

I want to show myself and others who I really am... Someone who is mature, confident, smart, helpful, responsible, more and more... basically a goody, mature, nice guy... yeah!!

Quoted below from "Happiness Now"

Your language shapes your life. If you tell people you are always broke, you will likely stay broke. If you expect to forget, you will forget! If you expect to behave like an idiot...

Imagine a boxer steping into the ring, and telling himself:
"I'm a loser. I'm a chicken!"

How long would he last?

Imagine a singer walking onstage, and telling herself:
"I'm hopeless! They'll hate me!"

How well would she sing?

It's a recipe for disaster.

Yet, lots of us use this same recipe every day. We tell ourselves:
"I'm fat."
"I have lousy memory."
"I'm always broke."
"I'm an idiot."

Then we wonder why we fail!!

So how do you start to think positively? The first step is to watch your mouth! Notice what you SAY about yourself.

From today, NEVER SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT YOURSELF.

Never tell people: "I'm useless, I always screw up, my girlfriends always dump me..."

Make a commitment: "From today, I will not criticise myself. If I have nothing good to say about me, I WILL KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT."

It's sometimes hard to control our thoughts - but we CAN control what comes out of our mouth. Once we take control of our language, we begin to have more positive thoughts and life gets better.

In a nutshell: We become what we think about!

Focus Focus!!

2005-10-22T11:16:00.000+08:00

Was about to leave NTU when all the sudden feel like blogging... wahhaha..

I think God is fair that He doesn't allow anyone to go back in time.

What is done is done.

What is said is said.

Let's face it, we cannot go back in time to make things right or the way we want things to happen our way. we just have to live with it.

Maybe past mistake will make us stronger.

Maybe we'll grow from our past mistake.

If we cannot face our past, how can we look forward to our future?

I just have to learn to face the reality. 是你的就是你的... Being through so much before and yet I still cannot learn from the past experience... Hopeless ah...

Think it's time for me to focus all my energy on studies now. Exams is round the corner and my mind is still not ready to face the challenges... Same feeling I got when I was in Macquarie Uni. BUT THIS IS NTU!!

okie, I'm officially screwed!!

Fren commented that when the time is near, it will force the dog to jump over the wall. For me, I think it will force me to jump out the window...

Focus Focus!!

NKF Free Health Check

2005-10-18T03:02:00.000+08:00

man with 6th sense

2005-10-16T23:23:00.000+08:00

I think not only girls have 6th sense. I believe I'm a man with 6th sense too...

Sometime I really wish that what I had sensed is wrong... but most of the time, it turn out to be truth... why?! Guess maybe I'm a SENSITIVE new age guy ba...

sighz... now I finally understand the true meaning of "ignorance is bliss"... maybe dunno anything is the happiest...

What is truth when you unable to face it?? Once you get to know the truth, you got to learn to face it and get over it... else it will always remain as your personal myth...

Guess I rather let it be my personal myth....

I hate rainy days

2005-10-16T23:19:00.000+08:00

Sighz... raining the whole day again... why!! why!!

Went to see Cheri on sunday. Her mum said she is starting to suck her thumb/fingers!!!

She also beginning to start to "talk" as well... making a lot of noise and when u respond, she will be very happy. hahaha...

Truth Hurts...

2005-10-07T20:00:00.000+08:00

Sometime it's always better to be kept in the dark than knowing the truth, cos the more you found out, the more hurts you'll get.

Guess I just couldn't handle the truth.

Cheri, Oh Cheri

2005-10-07T16:21:00.000+08:00

This is the latest photo of Cheri. Isn't she getting prettier and cuter everyday?

It's been weeks since I last saw Cheri. Missing her liao... I wanna to see her, playing with her, hug her, carry her!!!

I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack

2005-10-06T17:52:00.000+08:00

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance,
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and
wonder where those years have gone.)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance..

(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and
wonder where those years have gone.)

It takes years to build it, but just minutes to destroy it

2005-09-27T21:24:00.000+08:00

I was walking back to my hostel from campus when I walked pass this construction site near N3. They are demolishing this building with around 4 workshops and I guess most probably they are building a bigger and better workshops for the MAE students.

This make me start wondering, how long did they take to build the last workshops?

I guess maybe it took them minimum months or even a year to build it... But it just took them just a week to domolish the whole building!!

It's so difficult to build something, but it's so easy to destroy them.

Have you ever tried taking days or months to complete a 1000 pieces jigsaw puzzle, but destroy it in seconds just b'cos it fell onto the floor before you glue the pieces together?

Guess this philosophy is very true and applicable in every part of our life.

Friendship takes time to foster, but yet can easily destroy with just a hurting statement.

Some couples went through difficulty to be together, but broke up just b'cos of a silly misunderstanding.

A doctor who studied so hard to get his medical degree, but was killed instantly in a road accident.

Someone who has been well-respected and well-loved by everyone, but hated by everyone later just b'cos of a stupid mistake he made.

Relationship and life is so fragile, protect it.

In the nutshell: It takes years to build it, but just minutes to destroy it.

She's okie....

2005-09-15T05:14:00.000+08:00

Just received information that she's back in hall....

no need to worry liao...

Good nite and sweet dreams...

I miss you....

2005-09-15T04:52:00.000+08:00

Just came back from Momo after cheonging session... think maybe is the last cheonging session before the semester break... if I have one....

Was quite high then.. but not drunk... think is okie now... my drinking threshold increases after got dead drunk at Australia.... during the conception day... hee....

Thoughts that running thru my mind now...

Looking out my door hoping that she will appearing downstairs.

Logging on to the MSN hoping to see her online.

When realised that she isn't online, start worrying if she is okay.

What am I thinking off?? shouldn't I should just let her go??

Maybe just wanna tell her how much I miss her...

I miss you....

PS: I don't think she knows about my blog....

I am who I am

2005-09-13T00:31:00.000+08:00

I'm reading this book "Happiness Now" by Andrew Matthews. Well, it suppose to be a life changing book with meaningful quotes and stories. Hopefully, it's able to show me a way to enlightenment...haha....

"You don't find happiness in the absence of problems.
You find happiness in spite of problems."

Bought this book at Kinokuniya during the Parco midnight Sale. Saw this book and while flipping through it, the text that caught my attention is the one about relationships quoted in my previous blog entry.

Suddenly realised that I'm the type of person that always tries too hard... and the worse thing is, in life, there is such thing as trying too hard!!

Therefore, realised that I'll find happiness if I don't try too hard.

Other than chasing girlfriends too hard and helping people too much.. I don't think I'm that type of person that will try to impress people or shout at others.

I am who I am.

If you find me boring, unromantic, quiet, shy, uncool, old, no dress-sense, etc...

That's me...

If you find me poor, lousy in languages, ugly, bastard, loser, etc...

That's me...

To others, I may be an unpolished gems. To you, I am a f*cking idiot!

To others, I may be a crappy guy. To you, I am a f*cking loser!

I cannot change your perception you had on me.

Only time can show you who I'm really am, if you willing to find out more about me.

You never know what the future holds.

Relationships

2005-09-12T22:58:00.000+08:00

Relationships are tricky!

The strategies we think SHOULD work, don't work!
The strategies we think WON'T work, do work...

Impressing people:

When we try to impress people - by proving thst we are clever or rich or cool - people can see through us. And we look silly.

We usually impress other people when we AREN'T TRYING to. That's why babies and animals and very old people are so appealing. They don't care what you think - they are perfectly natural.

Chasing people:

When we chase girlfriends, boyfriends - even dogs - they run away!
Why? Because we are chasing them!

When we try to trap people in relationships, they can't wait to escape!
When we LET GO of people,they often come back!

Helping people:

When we try to help others - children, friends, employees - by solving their problems, they become dependent on us - and even lazy! The more we help, the less they do.

Mostly, we help people by NOT HELPING too much.

Getting people's attention:

When we desperate to be heard, we shout at people. And the louder we shout, the less they hear. Strangely, the opposite works.

People pay attention to us when we LISTEN.

IN A NUTSHELL: There's such a thing as trying too hard!

Quoted the above from "Happiness Now" by Andrew Matthews

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

2005-09-09T01:14:00.000+08:00

Your Birthdate: February 13

Being born on the 13th day of the month should help make you a better manager and organizer, but it may also give you a tendency to dominate people a bit.

You may be more responsible and self-disciplined than you realize.

Sincere and honest, you are a serious, hard working individual.

Your feeling are likely to seem somewhat repressed at times.

You are apt to be much more practical, rational, and conscious of details.

Your intolerance and insistence on complete accuracy can be irritating to some.

COMEX 2005

2005-09-05T01:09:00.000+08:00

Went to COMEX 2005 at Suntec over the weekend as I was interested in getting a new PC. I was about to order a Dell PC but last minute decided not to get it just becos that system doesn't come with a serial port!!

You see, the reason why I'm getting a new PC is becos of my FYP. The development board that I'm using for my FYP communicate with the PC thru serial communication. As my laptop does not have a serial port, I bought a USB to Serial cable for the connection. BUT dunno why, the program fails to detect the board!! sighz... no choice, best solution, get a new PC...

Since not getting any PC, just jalan jalan around the fair. Then saw something that attracts me. It is the Digilife DDV-V1 8-in-1 camera!!

Wow!! this "made in taiwan" camera comes with 10.0 Mega pixels, 10x digital zoom. It is a digital still camera, MP4 DVD-quality digital video camera, mp3 player, voice recorder, TV recorder, personal media player, and many functions that I cannot remember liao!!

Really interested to get it, but it cost $398!! But think about it, $398 for a 10.0 MP camera still quite cheap mah... The reason that keep stopping me from getting the camera is WHY DO I STILL NEED ANOTHER CAMERA???

I already got a digital camera and I love it very much... It went thru alot with me... Both happy and sad moments, it's there with me... that's why really cannot find any reason why do I need another camera... Therefore, I concluded it more of a WANT than a NEED.

I want I want that camera!!

你可以不爱我，但你可以让我爱吗？

2005-09-01T03:13:00.000+08:00

That's Peiyun's MSN nick.

Find it very meaningful so ask her where she got this quote. Well, she said it's from the trailer of a upcoming ch 8 drama.

Wah!! really need to pei4 fu2 the mediacorp scriptwriter, can come up with such a tagline for the drama serial. But drama is always drama... Don't think in real life, things come happen that way. Don't think any girl will allows the guy to love her even when she doesn't love him at all...

Sad to say, but good to know...that tagline is just a wishful thinking... Wishful thinking for ppl who still can't let go...

As for me, think is time to let go... but it's easier for me to say than to do it...

Playing "Be as you were when we met" by S.E.N.S.

I find this instrumental song very sad. If it's used as the background music in the saddest part of a sad movie, sure lots of ppl will cry one... Don't believe?

sunken ship...

2005-08-29T23:52:00.000+08:00

The ship had finally sank... Time to let go before or I'll be drowned...

Thought I could maintain this ship by just holding on tight... But all I could now is abandon ship...

Hopefully one day things will be sorted out between us...

Good nite and sweet dreams...

Fireworks!!!

2005-08-29T20:16:00.001+08:00

There are fireworks for the NTU 50th anniversary celebration and we weren't informed about it!!! aaarrggghhhh....

Only managed to catch a glimpse of it from outside my room... *sob sob*

I love fireworks... I love the magical moments that the fireworks give. So beautiful, but yet disappear so fast too...

It's so nice to catch fireworks together with your loved one and how you wish that the fireworks will never ends...

Ede's Dance Performance

2005-08-28T23:59:00.000+08:00

Today is a happy day for me. *wee*

I went to Ede's Dance Performance at Raffles Hotel, Jubilee Hall, organised by her dance studio. I must say, she really really dance very well... *clap hands*

Really make me wonder should I go and learn dancing or not too... haha... cannot lah... if me go learn ah sure dance like a bear wan... The only reason why I don't join "superstar" or "cai hua" is that I cannot dance!!

Taken before the performance...

Aiping, Guowei and me are there to support her...

Look at these cute little dancers... It will be nice if Cheri also learn dancing next time too...

"Why you look so sad??"

2005-08-28T11:50:00.000+08:00

Seems like I've been blogging a lot of the sad moments in my life... Definitely life is good and why I only blog about sad things? Wonder wonder why? Now everyone will think that I'm a loser... LOSER!!! LOSER!!! hahahaha....

Think about it, the only happy things I blogged about are the wonderful experiences I had during my exchange program at Sydney, Australia. Really missed those days in Sydney...

Final year liao.... dunno why, feeling super stress now. Other than my school work, FYP, think I'm carrying some other burdens that I'm not willing to let go yet...

ppl: "why you look so sad??"

me: "issit?? no lah... tired looking lah... final year mah... stress lor..."

Eating lots of chocolates these days... But seems useless...

Miss your "twinkling" eyes

2005-08-24T02:51:00.000+08:00

I was trying to talk to you, but we seem so distant. So sad that we can no longer talk the way we used to be.

Miss your smile, miss your jokes, miss the “blinking” stars and miss your “twinkling” eyes... Missing you...

sad and moody again

2005-08-24T02:48:00.000+08:00

Today is a wet and rainy day. Raining since early morning. It’s a good time to sleep but I was wide awake and ready to go for my lectures. Sighz...

Heaveno Knows

2005-08-20T23:54:00.000+08:00

I was looking at the lyrics of "Heaven Knows" by Rick Price.

Did some slight modification to it...

You're always on my mind.
From the time I wake up,
Till I close my eyes
your're everywhere I go
you're all I know
And though you're so far away,
It just keeps getting stronger
everyday
And even now you're gone
I'm still holding on
So tell me, where do I start
'Cause it's breakin' my heart
Don't wanna let you go
Maybe my love will
Come back someday
Only Heaven knows
And maybe our hearts
Will find a way
But only Heaven knows
And all I can do
Is hope and pray
'Cause Heaven knows

Playing 我是真的付出我的爱 by 周华健

You make me feel brand new

2005-08-17T19:00:00.000+08:00

Playing "You make me feel brand new" by Simply Red.

Foolish me...

2005-08-16T02:16:00.000+08:00

"People cannot gain anything without sacrificing something. You must present something of equivalent value to gain something. That is the principle of equivalent trade in alchemy." - Full Metal Alchemist.

Watching this anime called "Full Metal Alchemist". Find this quote very meaningful.

I sacrificed my true feeling and gain nothing at all... seems that the equivalent trade doesn't hold.

I never felt so hurt so hurt before. Blaming myself now for being foolish... foolish for breaking the most basis trust a friendship should have.

Who to blame but myself... Maybe I'll never forgive myself.... Things will never be the same anymore...

end of the road

2005-08-14T23:57:00.000+08:00

Reached the end of the road... Crashed and burnt...

one-way street

2005-08-14T23:42:00.000+08:00

Travelling alone on a one-way street all these while... silly me...

I deserved it!!

2005-08-14T00:54:00.000+08:00

I was sitting happily on cloud 9 when all the sudden, a hole appeared and I fell through it and hit die hard on the ground. *feeling dead now*

Never felt so hurt so hurt before. Maybe I'm putting too much hope this time. Maybe I'm more serious this time. Maybe if I never been naughty, things might not happened this way. Maybe and maybe...

Who to blame but myself. I deserved it!!

Should have let the fire slowly heat up. Now fire too strong and got myself burnt.

A sad ending of a budding magical fairy tale... :(

PS: never felt that the love songs in my playlist are so sad before...

This year, there are some slight changes to our hall DnD, from the usual hotels, the venue had change to a club (Gotham Penthouse), and the dress code is smart,stylish, casual!! Initially planned to wear my suit for this DnD, but since it's casual, cannot wear it liao...

I really enjoyed this DnD and just to tell everyone that our pageant girl for K'sen, Xuewei, had won the Hall Queen title!! It's quite a surprise as she wasn't the hot favourite before the pageant today...

Went Party World KTV with K'sen, my FOC clan. We started singing at 12 midnight and ended at 4am!! After that a few of us went for MacDonald breakfast before we headed back hall to sleep. Played a stupid game with Lanpei, ie. whoever sleep first before we reach NTU will have to buy a packet of twister fries to the other person. Both of us just not willing to sleep and in the end, both of us don't get twister fries for free.... hahaha...

That's my newborn niece, Cheri Chin Xinyi... Very cute hor... look.. she's smiling at everyone... hee...

Thinking of baby Cheri always make me smile... =)

It had been a long time...

2005-08-07T06:02:00.000+08:00

yup... it had been a long time since I last written something on my blog. I almost forgot what is my username and password. I got to try a few usernames before I got it correct and logged into the dashboard to write this entry. haha...

Dunno why suddenly felt like written this down. It's 6am in the morning but I just couldn't sleep. Maybe is the Teh Tarik I drank or there're some thoughts in my mind that causes me to stay awake. really dunno....

Lots of things had happened since I last blog in april... things like end of my IA, recovery of my pinky, my Pulau Tioman trip, start of FYP, moving back to hall 8, going to FOC, getting to know lots of new frens, start of school, the birth of my niece, Cheri, etc...

Everytime I'm felt like blogging some of my thoughts and feeling, laziness sure comes in and stop me from doing so. It's like I feel like going to church every sunday morning, but I'm always lazy to wake up 8:30am on sunday morning to attend the service... sighz...

Been talking a lot with kevin in the car about our life. Everytime we send each other back home that we'll talked in the car for 1-2 hrs about the problems we faced everyday. Btw, for ppl who dunno, Kevin is a very good fren and buddy of mine...

It is through these talks with him that sometime make me realised about my strength and weakness I had in my characters. Decisiveness is something that I need to strengthen and being willing to express my thought is also what I need to work on. Also realised that been a good and kind-hearted man can sometime be easily "eaten" by the ppl around you... like wat ppl says... "hao ren nan zuo"...

It's 6:30am liao... guess I should start trying to sleep liao...

Hard To Say I'm Sorry - Chicago

2005-04-02T14:10:00.000+08:00

Everybody needs a little time away
I heard her say
From each other
Even lovers need a holiday
Far away
From each other
Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to stay
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
And after all that's been said and done
You're just the part of me I can't let go

Couldn't stand to be kept away
Just for the day
From your body
Wouldn't wanna be swept away
Far away
From the one that I love

Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really want to tell you I'm sorry
I could never let you go
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
And after all that's been said and done
You're just the part of me I can't let go

Heng ah... I survived the surgery...

Well, this is my first time sleeping on the hosiptsl bed and going thru a surgery at the operation theatre...

Let me share my experience with everyone...

I reached Singapore General Hospital ward 75 at 7am and was allocated a bed to rest. I was told to change into a set of given patient's pajamas and wait. After settled some administration paperwork, I was told that the doctor is ready to operate on me.

I was told to remove all clothing inclusive my underwear and wear the surgery gown. Then, the trolley bed arrived to push my to the operation threatre. Along the way to the operation threatre, all I can see the lights on the ceiling and it's quite a scary experience.

Once I in the OT, the nurses started asking my name, NRIC and sticking ECG patches on me. Saw my doctor and he assured me that everything will be alright. Then i was given some gas to inhale.

After blinking my eyes a few time, the next time I knew was the surgery was already over and I resting at the recovery room. I was in daze and asked the nurse,"is the surgery over already??" She answered, "yes.."

I took a look at my left hand and it all wrapped up like a rice dumpling!!!

After some time, i was pushed back to the ward and i was feeling terrible... feeling dizzy and nauseous...

Finally, I was allowed to go home @ around 5 plus. So good to be at home.

Now I have to be careful with the food I eat and have to keep the dressing dry... So when I bath, I have to using a plastic bag to wrap my hand up. So troublesome...

Dear little pinky...

2005-03-28T22:41:00.000+08:00

I'll be going for a minor surgery on coming thursday. It's a day surgery on my left little finger which I got injured when I went skiing in Australia... I think... Frankly speaking, I really cannot remember when I got injured.

The finger is now bended and cannot be straighten cos one of the tendon was ruptured and as I was too late when seeking treatment, the tendon healed in the wrong length.

Guess I really taken my little finger for granted till I need to use it when I started playing my guitar at home.

When I told the doctor about how I noticed my injury, he said my story is a bit strange and funny. basically, he thinks I'm bullshiting... Come on, how many of us actually take noticed of our little finger??

Maybe I tend to neglect all my precious things till I lost them... Forgive me my little pinky. Causing you to be in pain now... If I just seek treatment earlier, this surgery will not be necessary.

At the end of the day, we're suffering together now...

Regrets

2005-03-20T09:48:00.000+08:00

Read this in a bulletin in my friendster... Find it very meaningful..

Guess ppl tend to regret for things that they wanna say but doesn't have the courage to do so...

Message: Regrets......

10th grade

As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl
next to me. She was my so called "best friend". I
stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was
mine. But she didn't notice me like that, and I
knew it.

After class, she walked up to me and asked me for
the notes she had missed the day before and
handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave
me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want
her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I
love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

11th grade

The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She
was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her
love had broke her heart. She asked me to come
over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did.
As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft
eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one
Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips,
she decided to go to sleep.

She looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a
kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to
know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her
but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Senior year

The day before prom she walked to my locker. "My
date is sick." She said. He's not going to go well, I
didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a
promise that if neither of us had dates, we would
go together just as "best friends". So we did.

Prom night, after everything was over, I was
standing at her front door step! I stared at her as
she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal
eyes. I want her to be mine, but she isn't thinking
of me like that, and I know it. Then she said, "I had
the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the
cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I
don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just
too shy, and I don't know why.

Graduation Day

A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I
could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as
her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage
to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but
she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before
everyone went home, she came to me in her
smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then
she lifted her head from my shoulder and
said, "Youre my best friend, thanks." and gave me
a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to
know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her
but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

A Few Years Later

Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is
getting married now. I watched her say "I do" and
drive off to her new life, married to another man. I
wanted her to be mine, but she didn't see me like
that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she
came to me and said "you came!". She
said "thanks" and kissed me on the cheek. I want
to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to
be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I
don't know why.

Funeral

Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl
who used to be my "best friend". At the service,
they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high
school years. This is what it read:

I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn't
notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell
him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just
friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't
know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me! I
wish I did too. I thought to myself, and I cried.

I Love You.

Promise fulfilled. But issit too late??

2005-03-17T00:29:00.000+08:00

Finally I had fulfilled the 1st promise that I made to her, but dunno issit too late now... The funny thing is.... I dunno how to give it to her....

Can still remember I made that promise on the 25-12-2002, 0000hr... Today is the 17-03-2005!!

Guess I had made too many broken promises to her...

Guess I had broken her heart badly...

I'm just a coward to ask for a second chance...

If a second chance is given, I will not let her go again...

George benson - Nothing's gonna change my love for you

2005-03-07T21:59:00.000+08:00

If I had to life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever oh so early
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong
Our dreams are young and we both know
They'll take us where we want to go
Hold me now, touch me now
I don't want to live without you

[Chorus]
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you

If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too
Hold me now, touch me now
I don't want to live without you

Why some man don't cry??

2005-03-07T20:57:00.000+08:00

hmm.. I always wonder why some man like me just don't cry?? Issit b'cos God forgot to give us tears?? Or simply He just want us to share our happiness with everyone??

I guess everyone sure have their happy and sad moments. Sometime when we are sad, isn't it better that we just cry it out?? But we just cannot cry... hmm...

Maybe that's also something good... at least we no need to worry that our eyes become puffy... ^-^

It had been a long time

2005-03-07T20:47:00.000+08:00

Well... as the title said, it had been a long time since I last blog. B'cos of my attachment, I hardly find time to blog... Or simply I'm just plain lazy to blog.

I always wondered, should I blog my deepest thoughts and darkest secrets?? If it's my darkest secrets, then why should I blog about it?? secrets are meant to be secrets!! If I blog about it, it will no longer be secrets anymore right?

So I decided to begin to blog about my deepest thoughts. Everyone look at me and thought that I'm a happy-go-lucky type of person. Always crapping, laughing, telling the coldest jokes around... but... how many ppl actually sees the other side of me?? The sad, unhappy, moody side of me...

Maybe I just don't want ppl to see that. Being crapping could be one of the way that I'm trying to hit my unhappiness from ppl...

Instead of others unhappy together with me, why not I just bear everything myself...

What a busy week

2005-01-07T22:04:00.000+08:00

Finally, It's friday. It has been a very busy week for me for my attachment. Some ppl said they are too free and nothing to do, but for the group of us doing web services in SES, it's busy for all of us. Trying to get the systems up, learning the application development, reading up notes, doing requirements specification, etc.

Through tomorrow is weekend, I still got work to do. Need to complete my requirements specification and email it to my supervisor by sunday afternoon!!

Okie, okie... enough complains about my work. On Wednesday night, I went to the airport to send Lavina off. She's going to Beijing for 6 months for GIP (Global Immersion Programme). Dunno she knows how to take care of herself or not. Together with Siying, two of them seem so blur blur one... dunno if will kanna bully by others or not... It's also quite some time since I meet her. Actually I kinda miss her right now... hmm... Hope she can take good care of herself in Beijing, know how to protect herself and grow to be more independent.

Was talking to her mum... think she's very worried about her daughter too...

got to go liao... going to Yishun to get CDs from my friend so that I can do my work over the weekend... sighz...

First day of attachment

2005-01-03T21:40:00.000+08:00

It's has been a long time since I last blog... well... holiday mah... too busy playing... hee...

Today is my first day for my 6 months Industrial Attachment. I'm attached to SES Systems Pte Ltd. It's a software company under Singapore Technologies.

My supervisor seems like thinking that we have the knowledge to do the job that he has. Keep asking if we know this or that. Some of the terms he used is so foreign to me. The internet access in the company is so SLOW!! is even slower than 56K modem!! and our supervisor keep asking us to download the applications that we need. Really don't understand why a software house using such a slow PC and internet access.

Sighz... Got to start reading the notes that is given to me today. I got to learn a new technology and .NET by end of this week... busy, busy...

Kuala Lumpur

2004-12-23T23:09:00.000+08:00

Went to KL alone for a short trip from monday to wednesday. Wow... KL had really changed since I went there 10 years ago... I know, I know... 10 years wor.. even Singapore changed within these 10 years...

There're monorail and LRT in KL city!! If you think Ngee Ann City is BIG... Then you should see Time Square in KL... It's even BIGGER... With shops up to 10 levels and an Indoor Theme Park with roller coaster, rides, etc!!! I was so shocked when I saw that...

Also went to KL tower and the Pentronas Twin Towers... And I also got to see Jeff Cheng and Sky Wu!!

I think Malaysians are also crazy about Gunbound... cos they actually got a Gunbound Competition...

Finally... After weeks of worrying, my results are finally out!! Thank God... I managed to clear all my subjects... horray... **lighting up fireworks... playing loud music**

Actually was scared that I might fail 1 or 2 of my subjects cos I've been playing too much in Sydney liao... Imagine me going out shopping and dinner at Chatswood just the day before my last paper... That is so not me back in NTU...

Btw, I will not be around Singapore this weekend. Will be going Malaysia with my dad to visit my grandparent... hmm... thinking of going to KL after that... dunno can find any kaki to go or not...
