Imagine, a bird, with its wings clipped, and subquently tied together, unable to make its own decisions and choices, big or small..... A bird, yearning to fly out, and make its way around, happily, experiencing some freedom. The taste of doing things he wanna do. Of really having a breakk from work for once, away from work, from school, and just relaxxxxxx for once. But no. Whatever I do, Im always wrong. Whatever choice i make, its always not a good one, a wrong one.
arghhhh.

Feeling quite disappointed now, after watching Singapore Vs Vietnam on TV.. I felt that Singapore deserved to win today, after seeing the way our Lions were playing tonight at the National Stadium. But, sighh. We didnt.. Anyways, I still think that our Singapore team played well tonite and gave Vietnam a hard time. :) Cheers :)
Been a rather 'stoning' sunday.. Going back to camp tmr to settle some admin stuffs.
And Yeah, Christmas is coming.. Merry Christmas everyone :)
U light up my life :))

exams aftermath . .
haha, cant think of any title.. my brain doesnt function during the hols. hehe
well, life after exams are kinda nice.. (duh!) Just relaxing around, and spending time with my family and Dear :) At home packing and cleaning up my area, and going out to explore new places and food! wahaha.. I applied for No-Pay-Leave cos I was expecting to have to return to school workshop to start working on our design project, or at least practising some machining or manufacturing skills.. As of now, I'm still trying to link up with the correct person to ask and enquire more, and TRY to get permission to use the labb.. arghh.
7 Dec. I created history (for myself). 42.195km.. hur hur . I didnt run the whole thing.. cos i didnt wan to aggravate my old injury. I walked quite abit though.. but I completed it (together with Dear and her bro!) haha :p Though after that, I couldnt drive for 3 days.. lols. A good way to save fuel eh? hur hur hur .
Think i might stick to 10km runs in future, at most 21km for AHM :)
Was jus looking at my possible timetable for next semester.. I'm faced with the prospect of having a loonngg tuesday.. 10am to 4pm, 6pm-9pm of lectures every tuesday.. hmmm.
The next event that is revving up my interest! :P

1 paper down .. 3 more to go . . . . .
ME3112 is over.. finally. I'd put in so much effort for it.. made a careless mistake, again.. grrrr. Though tat shld be a small mistake ba. Didnt know how to do Q4, so i jus copy and paste from notes, and agah agah fit in something that seems to make sense. (or did it? haa =x ) Overall, I hope it was okokayyyy for me today. *cross fingers*
Got 47 / 50 for my Heat Transfer quiz. Wouldnt say im unhappy, cos i think im lucky to escape heavy penalty for calculating something wrongly!!! It's something tat linked over to the 2nd part --- Q1 Area --- . Its the quiz which I also prepared super well for and put in so much effort.. Kinda happy tat I did well, though could have saved the 3 marks =X sighs.. Well, I dont really wanna compare with others, cos its jus useless. Sometimes, it demoralizes rather than encourages me cos I never seem to do as well as others do, however much or little effort I put in.
This semester I'd reali put in much more effort already, and studying hard with Dear =)
(Hope my efforts wont be wasted. sighs. )
Next paper on thursday.. Its total "brain exhaustation" for me, having been at Mechanics since 8.30am all thru 4.15pm with about 1hr breakk in between. Hope for the best for Materials. It's gonna be a closed book exam!! =X
*grrrr*
gonna sleep early tonite and then start hammering at it for materials tmr morning..

reflections . . .
Reading week.. helluva lots of things to do. I finally finished reading MOM today.. phew. gonna have to finish reading up Materials tmr, so as I can feel more at ease with myself. Much as I'd like to join the guys tmr to do MOM past yr papers, I think for my own 'safety', I'd better finish up Materials tmr first before I do anything else.. if not, my mood on monday would most likely be stuck on MOM, and the next time i'd be touching Materials is on Wed morning, and that would be disastrous and even more scary.
HR paper was over on Thursday.. I didnt have time to write all I really wanted to, so i had to cut short and write a quick conclusion, stopping when the examiner announced "Pls stop writing". My arm hurt from all the scribbling and writing! think my tutor would be having one heck of a time reading my handwriting.. It's like a spider falling into a bottle of ink and then climbing out and scampering all over the booklet. haha.
On thursday itself, i got to catch up with my good friend (but phantom in lecture), Craig. I always only see him during exam season at the exam venue! haha.. After my HR paper, I dropped by TH to collect my design log book, and so i also gave Craig a lift back to TH. Got to catch up a little with him. I also dropped by Raynor's room.. It was great to see Raynor again, and seeing him getting along seemingly well in hall. And i admire his room.. With his gadgets and all, it looks so cool la! haha.. Spent a great half and hour talking to him too :) though i felt rather bad waking him up.. had actually contemplated whether or not to wake him up, but craig solved that problem for me by giving a damn hard knock on his door. hahaha.. sorry raynor! lol
Haa. Sometimes I feel so resigned about things.. but owells. That's what life is all about right? And I have to learn -- and correct -- where I erred, and also to learn to handle situations in a better and more tactful way. Sighs.. Sometimes how i wish things were a little bit more different.. a little more leeway for me to move . . .
Thank you :)

updates: CAA 091108
okay.. been another long time since i last touched tis blogg..
Many days have passed, but I havent been studying much. Why?
Projects. 2 of them.. HR2002 and ME3101 Design Project.
Many days have passed, but I havent been studying much. Why?
Projects. 2 of them.. HR2002 and ME3101 Design Project.
Not that i'd complain much, since projects can be quite fun, if everything goes smoothly, and everything is managed efficiently. I just feel v sian that sometimes when u talk, people dont listen. It's like the ideas u suggest dont make a difference, and I'm just one stupid silly person. Then moments later, what u had been trying to put forth, is put forth. I dont mind people doing things together.. It can actually be quite efficient at times, since ideas are put forth together, and then solved together. But that's if there are alot of discussions -- productive ones -- which help to speed up the process of doing work..
Sometimes, I just feel that it's better to think about it individually first, then get together to discuss and put the pieces together, instead of sitting there for hours and each doing each individual parts, with no need for discussions, or sitting there and brainstorming for ideas right from scratch..
From doing tis projects, I really learnt alot.. alot about myself, about others, about my friends. I learnt how to handle different situations, especially frustrating moments where I just feel like letting off the steam and tell people off.. or moments where I just want to interrupt the whole world and just ask to be listened to for that few seconds.. or moments when I just feel so stupid, when something seem clear to others, but to me, it was nonsensical and mind-boggling....
The design project ate up my time the most..So much time spent on various parts of it, either doing new parts or fine-tuning existing parts, or worse-case, redoing them cos of errors I made.. Well, I didnt want to screw anything up. Not when I already have 2 members whom I dont know how to describe their level of initiativeness and responsibility and efficiency.
The presentation is supposed to be tomorrow 10 Nov.. However, last Monday evening, our prof informed us that the examiner cannot make it, and so we had to push it forward to last Friday, 7th Nov. It came as a stunner, and it started a week of sleepless-ness and frustrations and rushings..
Tuesday, we spent a full 8+hrs (from 10+ tp 6+) in the TH Boardroom working on the report and slides simultaneously. And at times, the air of tension built up.. But certain individuals deserved it.
Definitely.
I myself had swallowed down my disgust and anger countless times.
Wednesday came, initially for one round of initial rehearsals, but it became a session of 'slides corrections'.
[It seems like overnight, brain cells reworked again, and the preliminary slides which were 'approved' the day before to be suitable, suddenly became too draggy overnight. I didnt know slides when left alone overnight can grow to become more draggy after one night of hibernation.
Imagine u spent hours working on something the day before, and after showing it to be looked thru by a 2nd and 3rd party, it's approved to be suitable.. Then the very next day, people come and tell u that after looking at the first few slides, they want to fall asleep. And it's too long and wordy and all.. A totally different reaction from the day before. Then suddenly in front of everyone, I'm so damn silly and stupid and inefficient cos I dont know how to summarise slides and make them non-boring.]
Well, the presentation is over.. *sweat* After a heartstopping session of grilling, especially since I was one of the 2 presenters, it was over.
And I must say, I'm damn proud of our report..
Well, now it's time to start studying, finallyyyy.....
It's week 13, and my first paper is on 20th Nov. Tmr is 10th Nov.. sighs.
Well, I'l have to work hard from now on and not slackk too much.. In order to ensure that everything goes smoothly.. hopefully.
Happy 5 months Dear =)

A Nation In Concert: Wish Upon a Sea Star
A Nation In Concert
A charity concert brought to you by volunteers and charity organisations,
such as :
Association for Persons with Special Needs
Handicaps Welfare Association
Singapore Association for the Deaf
Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped
I watched the concert yesterday with Dear..
It was supposed to be for writing her Sci of music essay, but it couldnt be counted for writing,
so we just watched it, for fun.
It turned out to be well-worth the time, the money..
$70 for 2 ppl.. proceeds go to charity :)
I was very impressed by them performing,
not letting their disabilities get in the way of performing various items
items like singing, playing musical intruments,
even dancing, by the hearing impared..
Much of the moves included sign language,
which also brought the objectives of the show across,
and the words and meanings of the songs to the other hearing impaired community.
I was impressed :)
and very very touched . . .
I feel so lucky..
I suddenly felt so motivated,
and wanting to treasure what we have and make full use of what we can do,
not waste time, and treasure Life ! =)
Bravo! :)
4 months ler :)

happy children's day
Happy Children's Day! =)
Yup, today's a public holiday too.. though we're far from the classification "Children"..
In fact, I'm 2x that max classification of age! sheesh..
Today was a slow day..
Morning: thought about modules and schedules for the remaining semesters i have in NUS
then went swimming with Dear when she woke up..
bought lunch home.
My Malay neighbours brought some of their Hari Raya goodies for my family,
and we had it for dinner.. super nice prawns! wahahaa..
A slow afternoon, read thru some HR2002 stuffs, looked at castor wheels again..
stoned and slacked abit.. talked with Deardear n played ard with my webcam :P
"Friends" -- the TV sitcom -- used to perk me up lots when i was sian or just felt like slacking..
but now, even it cant do much for me..
yupp, it still makes me laugh a good deal,
and being able to relate to the show..
Looking at Joey's antics and Chandler's jokes and lameness,
and how Ross and Monica and Rachael and Phoebe behaves,
portraying scenes which sometimes do happen to us in our lives with our close friends :)
but still, nothing beats having Dear around :)
t i r e d . . . .
Thursday is here in another 1.5hrs..
Have to do 3 things by this sunday (which are all due on Monday 6 Oct):
1) Design Log Book
2) HR2002 Reflection paper (if only I can make use of the literal meaning of "reflect".
ie. reflect a piece of paper in my mirror.. har har . )
3) E1 informal Lab report
and not that this wkend will be a free one..
3 big activities coming up on Fri Sat and Sunday.. haahaha :)
Big part of me looking forward to this weekend,
but i'm not looking forward to this wk ending so soon..
I wish after every public holiday, the next day wld be reset to monday again.. haha
Fat hope . . Sweet dreams =)
*hugs*

successful hosting of the 1st F1 Night Race
Nice one! Our first hosting of the F1 Night Race has just ended,
with jus a few crashes, and quite some bit of exciting parts..
Well, actually found it very exciting, since tis is my 1st time watching F1.. lol.
Mountain Tortoise eh..
I think its better to watch from home rather than on scene,
cos i'l be able to see round the circuit, rather than jus seeing the cars zoom past me? haha..
N Yes, I think Singapore's night view is beautiful =)
I'l never get to go round on those roads past 90km/h,
let alone at those F1 cars speeds . . . haha

A List of Resolutions
Resolutions for the next half of the semester
1) Stop Procrastinating and continue mugging hard and constantly!
ie . do tutorials constantly and not slackk halfway thru..
2) Stop Slacking (in close relation to point no. 1)
3) Doing my duty =) *grinz*
It's Week 7 . Second half of the semester is here.. Time to pull up my socks..
Cannot just let studies roll on slowly.. Not if I want to have a good boost for my CAP.
Been spending so much time of design project, meetings or thinking of things,
though it might not seem like i put in much effort on the outsides .
I think I left other things aside too much already..
So, time to pull up my socks.. A damn hard good pulll . . .
Must jiayous with Deardear :)
In the past week, been spending some time with Dear, studying and doing stuffs tgt,
and exercising too..
How I wish time didnt fly so fast..
But for us, it was time well-spent..
and We'l continue focus, and continue working hard to achieve our goals, right? :)
One major event for me at the end of this yr..
On 7 Dec 08 . Standard Chartered Marathon . . . 42.195km .
I probably cant run all the way for the whole event,
cos of my potential knee problems..
have been taking glucosamine, hope it will help somewhat..
But I'll try to finish the thing ba, even if it means walking most of the way?
and finish it with Dear..
and another aim : to get at least IPPT Silver by the end of the year!
Yepp, my 2 aims by the end of this yr 2008 . (ie, on the sporting side) ..
1) Stop Procrastinating and continue mugging hard and constantly!

updates after 1 monthhh
haha.. well, almost one month since i last touched my blog.. been a busy time.
Numerous things have come and gone..
and many more memories formed along the way =)
Mondays to Thursdays are working days..
Fridays and Saturdays are spent with my special someone..
Fridays in school, until evening.. Saturdays at Dear's house, doing work or stuffs tgt..
Most important . . . =)
It's been almost 4mths since we are tgt already.. It's a great new life, with many new things, and many many more to come =) We caught many things together, such as the Singapore Fireworks Festival, as well as movies.. Wall-E was especially nice! =) A movie with almost no conversations or words in it.. but all the expressions were all so well-expressed.. it was a movie which i enjoyed with Dear most.. plus watching at the Grand Cathay with the nice comfy seats.. haha.
Yup, things do need some adapting along with this 'new life'.. She's already immersed into my life for literally almost everything.. and i've got no complaints :p . jogging and swimming together just arent so sian anymore.. (though i am a slow runner.. gotta train up! haha) . Each time we are together, time just seem to fly past so fast.. and before we know it, night is already here, and its either time for me to go back for dinner, or rest.. Am slowly getting to noe some of her hall-mates, her direct neighbours, as well as the level3 guys.. so at least, it wun make washing up in hall (if i ever do) so stealthy.. hahaha.
There have been ups and downs along the way, times where i felt lost, frustrated, Dear never failed to be there with me whenever she could.. and times when she was involved in IBG or playing sports, I just cant help but worry bout her knees and ankle..
Dear's family have been taking good care of me too, and I've never felt so touched and gan dong for a long long time.. I've spent quite a bit of time eating at her house with her family, and each time never fails to be a great relaxing time.. and the 4 tyres were just . . . wow .. thank you =) I also hope that tis semester we can pull our CAP together.. and we'l continue working hard together! =))
School Life . . . . .
Back to school life, well, the ME3101 SATS project have been keeping me busy.. with meetings and discussions, ideas thinking and refining, and looking out for new suggestions.. my ironing board came into play! like how it works, what makes it work, the mechanisms and all.. the project also allowed me to have a first hand view of the workers on the ground.. ie the loading and unloading of airplanes, coming up close to an airplane from beneath the giant plane, looking at the equipments and vehicles moving around on the tarmac 24/7, I've never thought i'd get a chance to experience all these first-hand.. Well, now I did :) though some experiences are interesting.. such as, we all have to book-in at the airport police pass office in T2 to obtain a visitors' pass before we can enter the complex, and this means exchanging our ICs for a pass.. well, for me, I only have my SAF 11B (green IC), and this means it is my form of identification, ie my IC. So naturally, it is what i use for exchanging for pass.. Both times which i was at the airport, the guards gave tat shocked look, like "who's 11B is this?", and I hav to surrender my NUS matric card as well, since they said 11B's are allowed.. though i dont really know why that is so, I just do it.. (I'm still wondering why SAF 11B's arent allowed for exchanging of visitors' passes in the complex).. anyways, working with SATS is definitely a whole new experience altogether, though for now, bulk of the time is still spent in school..
Having spent so much time on the project and long days in school, inevitably, some "sacrifice" have been made out of my other modules, and so, this mid-term breakk tis wk is about time to play "catch-up" with the lectures and modules.. once again, the slackness of ME Dept prevails, and we dont have any midterm tests (as compared to Dear having 5.. oops. haha . ).. tis is both good and bad.. Good, meaning, we still can afford to catch up at our comfortable pace (though it shldnt be too comfortable, ie too sloww).. but bad --> this means our percentages of CA are only 20-80.. ie 20% labs, 80% final exam.. that's one heck of a big percentage to place upon our final exam.. and well, midterm tests, though we do dread it if we have them, actually do make us study and keep up with the work, so that we do not have to cram work tat came in right from the beginning of the semester into the last 2 3wks before the exam..
Well, I shld do some studying tis week.. I reali reali should, if i want to pull up my CAP somemore . . .
Nokia E51
I've just changed my hp to the new Nokia E51 over the weekend, for $0, since i was just renewing my contract.. now Student Plan unlimited SMS to singtel user.. yayyy!! =P initially, during the Jul hols, i thought that the E51 would be a little bit too small for my fingers, and when Daniel (Teo) first suggested to me to try changing to that, I din explore tat idea.. however, now that my renewal was due, I couldnt resist getting the phone without cost (other than $6 for the screen protector), and yepp.. now i'm using it.. so far it's proving to be fine *touch wood*, and the speed is definitely faster than my E60.. though my big fat fingers sometimes do press 2 keys instead of 1 when i type too fast.. lols.
F1 in Singapore: the night race
F1 is coming.. drove thru part of the road outside Suntec City on friday evening, while they switched on part of the super bright lights to test them.. while night cant be changed into day for sure (that'd upset the whole solar system and probably a significant aspect of Science), the lights are doing their job of lighting the roads to super bright conditions.. during that brief drive, I felt that the street lamps were useless already.. haha. I hope the event is a success when it starts this weekend, and everything just runs smoothly..
Just had a meeting at the airport again in the morning, followed by discussion at Sam's house, before I met Dear for a swim then go home.. tmr's another meeting with Prof Tay to clear the idea and slides with him..
Car's due for 40000km servicing tmr.. gonna be in school the whole dayy . . . zzzzzz . 0.O
Happy belated mid-autumn festival everyone!

end of wk2 NUS
yeah.. wk 2 has come to an end.
how fast......
tutorials start next wk.. Well, sOme of them..
Early tis wk, it was a nerve biting time [actually tis nerve biting time started since last friday]
Reason? We were anxious of whether or not we (my ME3101 Design project group) had gotten the project with SATS successfully, after a presentation to 2 staff of SATS to sell ourselves and tell them why they should choose us.. there were 3 groups vying for this project. The decision making too days i guess.. and when monday came and went, with no information, we were more ganjiong (anxious) by the minute.. We spent so much time refreshing our email windows, and as Sam put it, his F5 key would be spoilt soon! haha.. Wednesday came, and finally at 4pm, we got our answer.. We'd gotten the project with SATS! pheww =) what a joy to us.. cos we reali wanna work with them for the design project. And this project would last us for 1 whole yr, including the Dec hols and next yr May-Aug hols.. I'm so looking fwd to this project and working with SATS .
p/s: SATS == Singapore Airport Terminal Services
Today is Friday! The day of the Fireworks Festival =) Looking fwd to going to this event with Dear tonite =)

Pride at the Olympics ( + catching up.. )
Okays.. been 2wks since i last posted an entry here..
haha. been a busy 2wks i guess.. more or less.
Updating in progress . . . . . .
(beware, long wordy post ahead..)
Loading . . . . . .
The Olympic Games
Today. Just under under 2.5hrs ago..
A match that i wldnt miss it for the world..
Well, unless its for 1 special person =)
Singapore played against China in the Women's Table Tennis Finals, vying for Gold,
assured of a Silver after beating Korea, having played all 5 matches against them..
To see the Singapore Flag being risen together with China's and Korea's Flags, I would safely say that any Singaporean would feel the pride on seeing that sight..
After so long (48yrs), Singapore is able to see her flag -- OUR flag -- being raised at the Olympic Games =)
A Silver Medal! Cheers!! :)
How I wish I was in Beijing in the Peking University Gym just now.. haha.
Just like how I wished to be at each National Day Parade each year..
And feel the pride when u see the Singapore Flag flying high in the sky..
Some ppl might say "wow patriotism!" with a tinge of sarcasm or whatsoever, but what the heck.
We're Singaporeans afterall.. If we cant be proud of our own country, what else can I say?
Anywaes, I congratulate Team Singapore for having done a great job,
esp the Women's Table Tennis team, for having made China earn their Gold medal..
Havent reali been able to catch much Olympics action this time around,
but I would say China certainly played well, especially Zhang Yining..
Singapore also did well, considering we didnt lose every single game to them, but rather, at times, created nail-biting moments..
Cheers to Singapore and her players! =)
Okays, back to Singapore for real.. haha.
The past 3wks have been busy, so to speak..
In a nutshell, I had my last wk of VA which ended on 8 Aug 08.
A week that I was kept busy, not by work, but other things as well..
Things that i dun regret doing =) [onli someone wld noe.. haha]
A good 3wks of ups and downs, of happiness yet mixed with worry at times..
Not due to problems created by uS, but by a little something -- system -- called CORS.
Yup, it seems to be system that is organised.. and fair.
(Not intending to rub any salt into any wounds, my non-engin friends..)
To us Engin students, we probably wldnt face this problem much since our modules all more or less allocated, ie assured of getting the modules we want (or need, actually)
Or more specifically, Mech Engin ppl..
but to ppl in SoC or Science, as I've seen for myself tis semester, its more than jus another bidding exercise..
To a certain extent, like some kinda investment or stock exchange..
I've seen Dear and another of my best friends fight to the core,
and experiencing depressing and exasperating moments with CORS..
And sending numerous email appeals and pleadings..
and the person at the other end keep saying to wait for the next round and send in another appeal after the round has ended..
but one would wonder at the non-feeling-email reply which the party at the other end gives..
one short paragraph (if we can even call it a paragraph) that basically tells u to w a i t .
And another reply from a prof that goes "Then wait for our reply."
Yes, that coming from an academic P R O F E S S O R in a Singapore University..
In response to a student's plea to assist, and request for advice on the next course of action..
When i saw that, i was simply dumbfounded / amazed / stunned -- whatever shocked words that can be used to describe it..
Not even a word of advice or reassurance, or at least to understand the situation, or set up an appointment for a meeting with him to at least tRy to listen and see the circumstances,
all the while the student is politely appealing to him for help and advice, and politely replies his email each time..
yeah right, CORS appeal system works.. i'm sure .
Well, after 2whole wks of anxiety and frustration which Dear and I shared,
finally, on thursday, the last resort seemed to work..
A whole load of anxiety and worry finally was lifted off our shoulders..
2wks of sleeplessness, of unrest & repeated refreshing of the NUS Email and CORS webpages..
sighs.
But i'm glad we worked thru it fine.. :)
and emerged even stronger, we did =)
Fast forwarding, 1wk of lectures have passed..
Some introductory, some moving onto more things..
One thing for sure, i shld be concentrating most at Prof Seah's lectures again =)
Friday
My group had a presentation to SATS to compete with 2 other groups for our ME3101 design project.. up til now, still no reply or results of the presentation whatsoever..(ie results of who will get the project)
Also, Dear and my plans were kinda spoilt by some events,
but we made it thru.. and dinner was very very special along West Coast Park Beach =)
Saturday, Dear and I spent a whole day together, doing things and stuffs together :)
and I super enjoyed that day lots! *jumps* haha.. dinner at her house with her family..
Today, jus did some readings, reprinting, bind notes, pump fuel, bought KFC for dinner,
and then watched the Olympic Games *cheers* . plus talked to Dear, of course.. :)
and now, (duhh..) blogging and updating and ranting..
before I go to sleep..
Cant wait to start a next good week with deardear :)
now with things settled down and steadier.. hee.
And I have something to look fwd to the end of tis wk..
The Singapore Fireworks Festival with dear! =))
2mths plus and going stronger and stronger, day by day :)
*hugs hugs*
Yay! Happy! Wheee! haha

Dammit CORS.
I believe im helping some, if not, most ppl curse CORS for its "helpfulness".
It creates more problems for us all, though at first look and understanding, its 'efficient'?
Have seen countless ppl facing problems with CORS,
Especially ppl from Computing & Science, since they have to bid for their own core modules,
and yeah, they cAn be outbidded despite the fact that it is a core module..
How ironic.
A student majoring in the subject cant bid for the module that he/she needs..
Dear will be going off for hall orientation camp le..

t o r m e n t e d
its only mid-week.. started off well, super well .
but now its only mid-week, and its been so damn sucky.
t o r m e n t e d .
I read this somewhere, how seemingly similar..........
How do it feel to have ur own close one, ur own family member, to be so untrusting towards you? To remember, and focus on, all ur not-so-good points, which are all of the past, and keep bringing them up. Yet when you try to explain yourself, you get shot down. Its all so unfair....
I've been working and trying so damn hard to prove myself these few weeks, and changing so many things, putting so many things at stake, at risk, sacrificing other things, sacrificing my own freedom, my own flexibility of time, all because i wanted to prove to you that i respected you so much so much still.. the next person closest to me has to endure the stress of inflexibility, AND especially the stress of having to "adhere" to my timings so that i dont get into trouble when i get home... Yes. It's all bearable actually. I super appreciate that she didnt leave me just because of this (while perhaps others might have done so), and I love her so so much.. In fact, all these years, there were moments that i wanted to speak up so much, or more drastically, to rebel, to talk back, to do all the things contrary to what you like me to do. But I didnt. I didnt at all.. Yes, once or twice, i talked back, I tried to explain to you that i wanted some degree of freedom as well, I tried to show to you that I can be trusted. But you refused to allow me to show it. Yeah, there were times that I was partly in the wrong, but i didnt like to take full responsibility because it wasnt all totally my fault! But in the end, yeah, it was like it was all my fault. I sucked it up....
I first tried to explain to you why i didnt inform and update you first. You didnt want to listen. You just kept cutting me off and going back to why i didnt update you. When I was trying so damn hard to tell u something. Yes, i really wanted to prove to you that things are different. I'm not as bad as you always think. I'm not that brainless or stupid or whatever. I thought you'd realised it by now. But i guess I was wrong. Totally.
Then, I tried to explain to you the reasons for what i wanted to do. It is a damn blardy valid reason for goodness sake. But since it was more complex than just simply "oh i just wanted to change it", I tried to explain from the beginning. You refused to listen. Not just by ignoring me, but you told me straight to my face that you didnt want to listen. Who in the world says such a thing nowadays??!!! Only people like strangers and damn unreasonable bosses tell that to their subordinates. Even the SAF nowadays hardly have such things happening. Why? because its freaking unreasonable and unfair to the person in question, in this case, it's me. I tried to say it out, you refused to listen. You kept cutting me off and interrupting me and scolding me. You kept telling me not to involve any other thing when I tried to explain to you another aspect of things. Yet U are the one who keeps referring to that thing when you are blasting at me. So ok, i tried another method... I tried to write it out, thinking that it will be better for you to read it when you've cooled down. Yeah, your reply? You first said that you wont read it. If i show it to you, you will cancel all the loans and everything else. That is also damn freaking unreasonable. Yes, later you said that i can write it out, then after going thru it, then at night i can talk about it. Yeah. I'm sure you meant it with your heart when you said that. I replied to you: "i didnt have to write and digest it. Because i have already run through what i wanted to say, countless times. So now i didnt have to rethink or digest at all.. " Yeah, I meant it. Totally..
3years ago in August 05, after i lost my first camera handphone, i bought another one to replace it, the motorola one. I got scolded by you upside down inside out.. I got ripped apart, just becos of the reason which you gave me, with regards to the month i bought it. I didnt know it then, so yeah, it was my mistake, and i remembered it ever since. Now, that month is approaching again, and also just happens to coincide with the need to change something, so i remembered what you told me so deeply 3years ago, and I made the effort to avoid doing things during that month. I got scolded again, because it seemed like i dont know how to think, to save money etc etc etc... and now u keep "quoting me" for saying that, and applying it to things that have utterly zero links with it. what a joke..... don't you remember that U were the one who told me in the first place on that day 3years ago in July/August 2005?!?
Time and again, you keep using threats against me. You keep using such things to pressurise me. Yeah. I sucked it all up. I swallowed it all down. Because I know ultimately you meant well. I really did. But it was the last straw already. Never have i expected that i would be so unjustly judged and treated by anyone that close to me. Never. I'm totally saddened, shocked, stunned, whatever words that can be used to describe in this meaning. It all applies.. This holidays, i had my happiest times, but yesterday was my saddest day, the worst day. I have never reached the stage i was so frustrated i had to yell n scream it all out in the way that i did. But yeah, obviously, yesterday, I did. I couldnt take it any longer. I really cant. I'm already how old already.. Can i not think for myself? Can i not have some degree of freedom n flexibility for myself in terms of time & making decisions especially?
Its not that i want to pull away and suddenly gain full "independence" or throw you away or leave the family that kinda stupid thing. But it seems like that is the kind of thought and fear that gnaws at you. I dont know, really. I'm only guessing. And that is the only logical thing I can think of why you are treating me this way, other than wanting good for myself. For that, I thank you. Please. I'm already at this age, I still have to face curfews like returning home by 10pm, or by the time i roughly estimated for you, which is also before 10pm for crying out loud. I still have to face the situation that if i return home any later than the said time, I get torn apart & yelled at & called a liar and non-trustworthy. Isnt that the treatment that primary and secondary school kids should be having? It is not that i dont know that you mean well, for my safety at night and for me to have enough sleep.. I really do know it. And I do understand, and I myself, not being a night animal either, also dont stay out til such weird times n do weird things. But now its really gone too far.. I dont feel like a free person. I feel like a prisoner. Or someone on probation might be more appropriate..... Yes, a person on probation has a curfew as well. But at least the person only has to report to the councillor at the stipulated times, and still has the freedom of doing his own things on his own accord, with his own flexibility, according to his own wants. I don't.
I'm not asking you to heck care me totally and leave me to be a hooligan on the loose.
All i wish for now is to have my own flexiblity, some degree of freedom, and for you to cool it more, slow down a little and listen & understand things..
I love you.
but now its only mid-week, and its been so damn sucky.

Racial Harmony Day 08
RHD was yesterday, 21st July every yr. haha
brought back memories when we opened the audit ytd,
reminded me of last yr, how we slogged our way thru organizing this event n making it a great success..
tis yr, it was down to us again, though there was a lil bit more involvement..
After the event, we changed out and headed to Dragon Gate Restaurant for the promotion dinner.. not my (or our VA promotion), but promotion for many others..
the dinner went well, food was acceptable i guess ..
though the sound system wasnt exactly one that could be described as "good sound system"..
but still, we had a good time chatting, while Raynor was off taking photos for each table,
just like those photographers we see at weddings =P hehs..
So fast, VA is coming to an end.. so many weeks have passed..
During semester time, it would equate to one semester having gone past,
and now is probably the reading week period? ahaha..
& speaking of which, school will be starting soooooooonnn.. 11 August.
Now is the time to worry bout what modules to take,
and for me, to think about what specialisation as well.
Am considering Offshore Oil & Gas Technology,
but that would mean that this semester, i have to take a module which relates to this specialisation, which means i have to forgo one module to take this.. sighs.
Afew more days to consider the option.. to take or not to take? hmmm..
or shld i focus more thoughts on Aeronautical or Automotive Engineering? bleahhz 0.O
Thurs is our VA Cohesion Day! yayys.. We can "officially" relax on an "official" work day..
hahaha

end of engin camp!!
end of Engin Camp! "ORD" loh..
hahaa im sure =p
i'l nvr ord for at least another 6yrs to come..
1 whole wk, been in sch for Engin camp..
helping Sara with logistics..
n terrorised by the Van (Hyundai H100).
not that it gave me much problems..
but i was driving it every single day, and got sooooo tired from it..
its the first time i was ever soo shagged out from driving! haha..
everyday, the third thing i did was to touch the van..
why the third thing? becos:
1) Wash up
2) link up with Kenneth and Wei Juin (the log guys) at the dining hall
3) start up the van, warmup and collect breakfast
driving n carrying stuffs, i tink it jus made kenneth weijuin and me totally drained out..
I tried not to nOt drive the van, since i was designated to ferry pp to and from The House for fright night..
but on wed night, on fright night itself, after coming back n driving afew trips, i conceded defeat and asked Eddie to take over me to continue driving the van..
I was reali totalllyyyyyy drained out .
But overall, I guess things still went fine..
I hardly got to play or interact though..
Someone brought aloe vera gel for me on tuesday night, came all the way to school..
was so super touched.. =)
haa, well, am glad that the whole wk went fine for sara, in the sense nothing reali bad happened or sth like that.. :)
and i definitely made a few new friends from the comm! =))
ppl who i didnt meet at all, cos i cldnt make it for any dry runs or anything..
but during the camp, we worked together, n made new friends! :))
now, time for a good rest today,
and yes, next monday, backk to worrkkk..
watching Penelope tonight! =)) yayys
hahaa im sure =p

ok, 2 weeks have passed, just like that..
2wks back at work alrdy. wow.. how time flies..
without knowing it, some things have progressed at work..
though the workload is building up.. haha.
figuring out how to organise for DSP tis time around, since its also the 1st ever to be organised..
every few days, jus attempt to run & exercise, in hope of burning the fats around my waist,
as well as improving my stamina & run faster!
ultimate goal: IPPT Silver .
Other than work, it had been a relatively fun week too..
Got to chill out after work, & destress/relax..
Gone out for dinner 3times tis wk, once for icecream, & caught Indiana Jones too! =)
Yesterday also went for a run from Hougang (to be exact, fr the edge of AMK Ave 5) to the open field opp Compass Point, to catch Weiliang's frisbee competition..
then went for breakfast.. havent walked so far for soooo long! (from one estate to another, literally. haha)
caught the opening for Singapore Arts Fest at Boat Quay..
though the beginnings of the performance on water was kinda abstract (or 'cheem'),
the endings of it were pretty much impressive, especially the fireworks..
havent seen such low-"flying" fireworks before! =))

back to work
Hm, monday, 12th May, back to work again..
usual place, minus the lecture rm which we had before..
dun tink i hav to talk much bout tis cos Raynor has expressed most of my sentiments too..
hehs
well, got 2 big arrows this time around..
and probably thanx to someone else as well . =x
The good thing is probably i'l get to be kept busy with things,
and perhaps i can sort myself out too,
have my own "escape" from everything and everything..?
Actually i've kinda been waiting for this period to arrive so that i could have a break from school,
and then move away from many things, and get my thoughts and feelings sorted out..
been in this turmoil for too long, i jus wanna straighten myself out too..
my own mini getaway.. haa.
sigh...
I went for a run today.. in fact, 2 runs .
T i r e d , but feeling fine still. haha
Jus that im having jelly legs and arms now..
Enjoying my runs ..
Thought that this video is super meaningful.. (video is in 2 parts)

summing up the semester..
Okays, the semester has ended.. guess i shall do a small summary of the semester? haha
This semester has been one big one, and fast..
Every single thing jus seem to fly.
The semester started on 2nd wk of Jan 08, with 6 modules.. 5 core & 1 GEM.
Yes, Heavenly Mathematics.. haha
Many many many things happened in this semester..
To list everything, it'd take a long time to write.. haha.
Many things crossed my path, good ones, bad ones, happy ones, and sad ones..
The happy ones lifted me up when i was down, when i was dragging my feet in the sand & mud..
and i'm really thankful for the opportunity that i had to experience those times..
and gave me the chance to go through them & enjoy them ..
But when the rocks (some seemed more like boulders) hit me, it reali pulled me down..
and along the way during the semester, i lost my sense of direction totally..
Nope, it doesnt mean that im bearing grudges, and just simply forgotten memories..
No, they're not forgotten..
In fact, quite the opposite.
I still miss those times.. I really do. Many a times, i wish and wish for it all to rewind again,
that everything would be the way it was right from the start..
Those were my happiest times, and i never regretted spending those times..
or sacrificing certain things to make those times happen..
Yeah, perhaps they werent spectacular, but they meant everything to me..
and up til now, if there was anything i could do to have it all again, I'd do it..
& i'd never forget the foodfair at Suntec City that day..
That was the last time I was really really happy..
for the rest of the semester, things flipped..
I tried to pick myself up and move on.. It was the hardest thing i ever did.
Academically, things werent simple.. In fact, many things sucked. haa..
Getting lost in notes, and getting even more lost as time went by..
Studying was accompanied by sweets, books, youtube, dvds, Prison Break,
and more recently in the weeks leading up to the end of the sem, I got introduced to Friends..
and i'm simply hooked on them :)
It's a happy show, hilarious, yet certain things which they experience in the show,
actually we can relate to them as well..
Am now near the ending of Season 4..
Along the way in the sem, I strengthed friendships,
and made some new friends as well..
But now that the hols are here, some are going away, most wld be busy,
in fact, i'd be back at work tmr as well, 8-5.30 each day..
plus i'm helping Sara with Engin Camp tis yr,
so there'l be meetings and dry runs to attend as well..
which im not sure if i'l be able to attend alot of them, (or any, for that matter)
(cos i only have 6 days of leave, 5 of which would be for the camp..)
So i guess this 3 mths, i'l jus juggle my time all over..
I wanna keep myself busy with things,
find myself again, and yeah.. keep my mind preoccupied with things,
even if its jus watching dvds or Friends.. haha
Perhaps i'l even take up a course or learn something new.. hmm.
Bottomline is, I dont wanna waste my time bumming & stoning around with nothing to do..
One of my closest friends will be flying off on tuesday for grad trip, gone for a month..
guess i'l miss those times we spent..
another few friends would be going overseas as well, namely Mel Liping Calvin (& Jian? haa).
so i guess i wont be seeing them for sometime as well..
Yet another friend's gg back to HK on wed and probably staying there for the rest of the hols..
I still rmb, last yr, during this time after the exams, I went to catch The Phantom of the Opera..
This yr, I simply looked forward to after the exams last thurs (8 May),
and looked forward to spending time with 2 of my best friends Craig & Sara.
Thurs evening & fri was spent helping with moving out of Kuok..
while Sat was another great day out, first from Sheares hall, then to PS & Cathay..
Whether im gonna miss this semester anots, I dont know..
Well, definitely, i'm not gonna miss the lectures & modules (yuks =x)
But i know i WILL miss many other things..
But special thanks to the following people who made everything bearable:
(not in order of merit kae? haha)
The clique => Sam Kyrin Mel Calvin Liping Jian (always in lecture together..)
Sara Teo (our shopping at bugis! and for helping me so much, and tolerating my nonsense),
Craig (for the online disturbing and nudging and bantering, disappearing from lectures n tutorials, but yet always there somewhere..),
Weicheng (the occasional chat online as well..)
Roy (our occasional lunch kaki at Arts canteen on tuesday)
Elizabeth (who always dropped by via msn as well)
Ziqi (who was there no matter what, & always ready with alternative viewpoints which made me look at things differently and more cheerfully)
Weishan (whom i talked to here n there during the semester, and also my chui qi tong at times after my papers.. sorrie! haha)
Huixiang (whom i got to noe better since we took heavenly math together, & always sat behind him and his gang of hall friends..)
Y.Y. (whom i got to noe during the sem during heavenly math, though we hardly talked, til the semester ended.. haha. And thanks! for the tut stuffs! :) tink i'd be worse off if i didnt have them..)
Berlin (everything we had, I treasure them, alot.. :) )
Josephine (met her at CF last yr, but only started talking on 8March)
And Raynor Gan! would never forget his help rendered during the semester when i needed help as well.. and though we didnt exactly see each other often during the semester, he never hesitated to help me out..
and yea, Jasmine Loo, Jasmin and Marcus, though tis sem we hardly met at all, i'l nvr forget our superlong lunch last dec when we met to celebrate Jas Loo's bdae..
hm, for those whom i didnt list out, doesnt mean i forget them k..
hm okays, the end of a superrrlonngg post.. shall stop here i guess.
tmr will be the start of the hols (kinda more officially, since im gg back to work tmr! haha)
Happy Holidays everyone! =))

Well, for a start, I totally didnt know how long was the paper.
Thought it was 2hrs jus like the rest.. It was 2.5hrs. haha
The questions brought me memories of my CA test. yuks =(
Well, couldnt have survived without "Friends" these few weeks..
It's my favourite show now, after Prison Break! haha
2 more papers to go..

Heavenly Maths on Thursday..
And then it's back to work on the following monday already!
Times flies.. What a semester . . .

Some dreams live on in time forever
Those dreams, you want with all your heart
And Ill do whatever it takes
Follow through with the promise I made
Put it all on the line
What I hoped for at last would be mine
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
Im gonna be stronger
Know that Ive tried my very best
Id put my spirit to the test
If I could reach
Some days are meant to be remembered
Those days we rise above the stars
So Ill go the distance this time
Seeing more the higher I climb
That the more I believe
All the more that this dream will be mine
If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
Im gonna be stronger
Know that Ive tried my very best

at least 3times? haha =x
Exams exams exams.. sighs.
Times really fliieeesss! Before i know it, 1week has come and gone! now its Friday alrdy..
Thank goodness there were the midterms tests and CA tests along the way,

though its still A L O T of work to do and catch up now.. =x
like prioritising what comes first and all..
hur hur hur .
Tmr is my first paper.. PC1432 (physics2) at 0900hrs,
Feedback Control is on Monday at 0900hrs as well..
argghhh. dun like 9am papers, cos of the traffic conditions (especially on weekdays)..
take care, continuing striving on :)

disbelief
This really sucked. As in, really S-U-C-K-E-D.
Yeah, I never expected things to end this way. Definitely not.
That had never occurred to me all these while.
I tried, I really did. Up til the very last moment.
I still tried to help you see light.
I tried to salvage whatever that was damaged.
I thought that talking would clear things up. And settle things better.
Well, even as a friend, I think it was only right to, at the very very least, make some time to talk about everything. In person. i.e. A proper chat.
I think I deserve that from you, at the very least.
Consider it the most basic form of respect for someone who really genuinely cared.
Or if that isnt significant at all, at the very least, for a f-r-i-e-n-d now.
Not this.
You are able to find time to do other things still. Despite a busy schedule.
So is it really so difficult to set aside some time to talk to somebody who really cared all these while? Even if it might mean jus one more time?
Yeah, jus saying to forget about it all and pretend nothing ever happened.
Its easy to say.
And i cant believe you actually tell that to me.
Thanks for walking out of my life in this way.
It was the very LAST thing I would have expected to happen.
In fact, I never even expected it.
nOt from you.

Yeah, talk about a million and a zillion thoughts.. Some many weeks ago, things were all up and running smoothly. And then, suddenly everything just seems to come down, as if its a curtain closing upon a show and signifying the end of everything. I dunno, cant say i didnt try my best for everything. I tried, I really did..
I guess its time i channel some of my energy on other things, such as projects, catching up on lagging school work, & just being there for another friend..
yeah, sometimes trying to help n being concerned might turn out to be harmful since ultimately, it could be perceived by others to be intrusive, meddlesome, or as most singaporeans might put it, kay-poh-ism.. but I guess its either I get overworried bout this & leave a friend in the lurch, or I heck these potential comments & be just sincere abt everything. I choose to choose the latter. I know how it feels like when one really wants to talk to someone, but there's just no one to talk to and confide in, and everything is just kept within instead..
I think I reali suck at helping ppl sometimes.. Just am unsure when i should or should not come in . hmm..
But I really do mean to just be there for someone, and listen, talk, anything..
Take Care :)

Good Friday
It's Good Friday today.. A public holiday. Mel Liping Jian and the gang all are supposed to be at sentosa today. but i cant join them, cos i hav to come back to sch to work on my Heavenly Math project. (yeah, am in sch now.. at 5.48pm. haa) .
The sun was initially great in the morning, but in the afternoon, it started to pour again, before being dry again now.. sigh. i shld have captured the ring shadow in the morning irregardless of the time since the weather is so unpredictable. Regretz.. Ok, tmr, i shall not make the same mistake. Catch the sun while it can..
Am with Sir Hong and ZiQi now in sch.. with donuts, bread, m&ms and our laptops with us.. Zzz . We wont be having any holidays for the coming 2weeks, with a deadline each week =X
At the crossroads. Its either make it or break it now..
A million thoughts run through my mind every now and then throughout these days.
I really tried..

reflections at bishan stadium..
Just had a short but tiring jog just now.. had a good workout with afew rounds around the track at bishan stadium, and then overworking my stomach n arms with crunches and pushups.. im gonna wake up with a cramped stomach tmr.
Relationships. Well, things do really work in strange ways sometimes. Just now after school, was talking with marcus, and found out that he and Jasmin are now attached, together. It started off as a joking jesting session which he started it all, but when my turn came to "poke" at him, the answer came back was an initial surprise to me. haha.. Hm, the first thoughts that went through my mind was pretty much mixed, and subsequently, more thoughts. But I am really happy for the both of them! =) I hope that they will both stay happy together.. My best wishes to them both :)
hm, today was a pretty dry day. The best time was lunchtime.. sheesh. I ate a heck of a lot of food at arts canteen. I was hungry, was not exactly veerrrryyyy hungry. But well, just eat. Went back to engin to help sara with manning the booth for FOP councillor recruitment.. had a good chat with YK and Jemuel too :) nice guys..
Been feeling extremely bad and guilty for the past 3days.
I jus want to understand the situation better first..
