seasonal blogger

i am a seasonal blogger... according to yirang and jul... wahaha... and i admit... okay... so to keep up with the tradition i shall post a post exam and regatta post... wahaha... my exam finish today... the air of freedom smell better... wahaha... today's paper is a test of how fast you can copy the textbook ( yes it is another open book), i am glad i chose to tag my textbook yesterday instead of trying to read everything... good bet. =)

okay for regatta, shan't say more, we will come back stronger next time, we will become stronger because we have to and we need to. most importantly, thanks to everyone who came down to watch the race, the ODACians, fiona, yilidan, hanlong, fengjia, janan. all the old birds, yunshan, serene, meiping, wendy, cheeling (who came down for both days), mona, xiao li tou and hanqi. thanks everyone, you all being there means alot. =)

Competition

Experimental chemistry open book paper is a competition between all the chemistry students of who has the most testbooks and who can flip the text books, lab manual, lab reports or what ever the fastest, which means who know the glossary the best... wahaha... being some one who does not read the textbook... i think i did quite well in searching for the stuff... wahaha.. but cannot finish... and don't know whether if it is correct anot as based on history, i got 4/10 for the last open book test... wahaha...

i am so stupid. bleach!! can't stand it myself.

exams

first paper on friday. today is thursday. totally no mood to study= in total deep shit. okay, i read through my organo lectures notes, but dun think that much of it is encoded in to my brain, most prob most of it is omega away. reason? my brain does not like to store boring stuff.

it is true that organometallic is one of the most interesting chemistry module that i have taken up to date, but like seriously (quoted from cindy), anything will be interesting if you dun need to force study it. just like if i force you to eat dim sum, it will not be nice, but if you chose to eat it yourself, then that will be a different case all together. this is the reason why i can remember details of harry potter, comics and movie but cannot remember a simple reaction mechanism from organic chemistry. i might be able to score A s if

(1) they make a anime, cartoon or movie out of all the core materials for every module, but interesting one, of course. no one want to watch a boring movie. oh yar, they can get brad pitt, jennifer garner, or sandra bullock to act in it, it would be even better.

(2) create audio books out of all my modules.

(3) best of all, simple make harry potter, j.d robbs, linda howards the main core materials. exam me on moives, comics and anime.

wahaha.

things that i would rather be doing instead of mugging in SRC conference room:
(1) Sleep
(2) Watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
(3) Read a interesting FICTION book
(4) anything else other than studying.

~life is short, dun waste it studying.

Tribute

This is a tribute to my grey nike shoebag ang my trusty Adidas shoes. My nike shoebag has been with me since i entered NUS and joined dragonboat, and it is the first official shoebag that i had bought (previously i had survived with plastic bags and all temporary means). it had been trustworthy and reliable, and had been serving me very well and went on many trips with me. My trusty adidas shoes is by no means my first pair of trackshoes but it had gone through thick and thin with me, through all the toturous training, enduring runs and endless OTOT and gym session and also my first and only half marathon. i had intend to give it the grand finale in Mount Ophir. Despite losing tonnes of other stuffs (if you know me weel enough you will have known), i had never lost my shoes before.

it is my stupid fault for falling asleep on the bus, and not being alert enough to make sure i have left anything behind when i alight the bus, but this is an important appeal to whoever is on the bus 156 heading towards clementi yesterday.

IMPORTANT APPEAL

To whoever onboard bus 156 and to whoever in the sixth ave area on Sunday 22/10/05 or simply anyone who has picked up my nike shoebag and shoes.

Be A Lady Day

We should have a Be A Lady Day. AND this day is for all the MEN out there to experience being a lady, a women. On that special day, we shloud have the men wear long and spiky heels and walk around the whole day, going to work, buying grocceries shopping... and if they like they can wear the skirts , make up and stuffs too... to understand the mordern day tortures that woman nowadays hace to suffer daily... before they demand that their girlfriends have to wear heels and skirts and whatever... oh ya to be fair, we can have a BE A Man Day and all the girls can be a MCP for one day... good idea right? wahaha

The moment of enlightenment. from this moment onwards i am suppose to be more mature and responsible than i am 1 mintue ago as i officially turned 21. i can legally vote for who i want to be president (provided there is an election), i can marry whoever i want without parent consent (according to my friend and provided that there is someone i want to marry.) i can watch R21 movies (without sneaking in). i am suppose to be enjoying myself having all the fun in world, yet on the first few hours of this special day of my life, what the hell am i doing? typing lab report. haha. then i going to spend the better half of the day doing experiment and in school. all the way from 9am to 8pm. how exciting!

BUT luckily i did have my celebration and fun over the weekend. so there is that. i want thank my mother, for preparing all the food and drinks and everything, busying for the best part of the weekend and especially for tolerating 21 years of nosense from me.. haha... my brother who has been helping my mother preparing all the food and stuff and sacrificing your studying time... haha and my two sisters and my youngest brother (not sure he got help anot...) for preparing the little goodie bags for my friends (thats a surprise to me too), FYI: if you are at the BBq and never got the goodie bag... errr.. too bad? haha... and then there is Grace who help me serve everyone for the whole night and bbq the chicken wings for the whole night. (Grace, i owe one.. maybe i can repay you with more mango chicken?) and those who help out one way or another, or those who are simply there. and thanks for all the presents also. i really like them alot.(hey jo, huimin, liuhwen, huiying and pris, luckily it is not some dress with matching ear rings....) thanks!! hope you all enjoyed yourselves too. =)

thanks everyone!!

congratulation to the CORS system for outdoing itself semester after semester. this time round it managed to hang for almost half the tutorial balloting period, causing the round 1A balloting period to be extended till 0600. well done CORS! you have done it semester after semester without fail. well done!

deja vu. a feeling that this moment has happened before.

night cycling. everytimes i struggled up a slope i asked myself why am i doing this to myself (as usual). i could be at home doing something quiet like reading a book. watching a movie on vcd. or irritate the hell out of my siblings with my guitar. or watever... then i realise it is the company that matters and i would again sign myself up for another one. not forgetting the food, the speed when go down slope....

i am back from bangkok fat, broke but satisfied. it is a hell of good trip! wahaha.

some conclusions i came to during the bangkok trip.
(1) Valueair is much better than Malaysian Airline. the food is better (at least the rice is fully cooked and the vegetable is not limp) and the service is better ( you dun haf to call three times to ask for a glass of water and be ignored and air stewardess actually smile)

(2) First Hotel is definately not first. the hotel room is old and there are crockroahes in the room and around the hotel. (although it was much better after we change room.)

(3) i sux at the Bean game. investing in the third bean field is a mistake. the 65 push-ups and 6s situps i did is the proof of that. btw, wendy is the self-proclaimed bean queen.

(4) the 红白蓝 bag that i bought is a damn good investment (it is big and useful), despite it being damn orh-bit. (my mum have already claimed it to pack some of the stuff at home...)

ok here are some pictures i took during the trip.

The usual TP session when free time is on hand. taken near the catus garden at changi airport after mac breakfast. (just in case the in flight food turned out to be bad.)

our hotel and the best view i could get of out hotel lobby. actually... thats all there is to our hotel lobby. as compared to this...

the Asia Hotel that my sis stayed in.... but well the company well made up for the room. =)

Some of the stuff we did...

watched the mambo caberet show. quite interesting...

shop till we drop. (one of the must-do- thing in bangkok)

eat. (the another must-do-thing in bangkok)

photo taken while the rest was scrambling out of their seat because of a crockroache. but despite that must say that the food is nice.

seafood. the crab bee hoon is nice!

A&W. must have! (we conquered it twice. haha.)

Sell nice and cheap fried rice at 29 baht.

visit the temple. nice looking but boring. the temple of the dawn.

ok. that's all for now. still got tonnes of photos. might post it up again next time. =) wahaha.

Announcment:(not that i blog alot but...)

i will be on my way to bangkok in a few more hours. pls try not to call me unless it is very urgent or something as i would not pick up any phone call as one min cost $2.63 and i would not reply any SMS as one sms cost about $1.50, however, you can send sms to me as receiving will be free... wahaha... so... bangkok here i come! will be back by tuesday! see ya!

and this is the official announment that
(1) i am no longer tied down by trainings.
i.e. i am free to meet up with all my friends that i have not seen for ages. i can afford and have the energy to stay up late to crap and can afford late to wake up late the next day.

(2) i can eat watever i want including chilli, ice-cream, alcohol, deep fried food and coconut milk and watever... even if it means i will cough to death.

but that also means the new semester is starting soon.... more bidding.. more timetables... more lectures... more tutorials (not that i do them...) and more lab reports.... but before all that bangkok here i come!!

today marked the last water training. after this all that is left is to put all the training we have done in the past all into this sat and sun. all the trainings have all come down to this weekend. it is now or never. it is do or die. it is to finish the race with no regrets. that's it, my friends. that's all to it. really. and sometimes words are just not enough. and i am lousy with them.

ps. settlers' cafe is good place to "nua".
pps. i will take my medicine dutifully and drink alot of water for tomolo. pls let me be off the med by saturday and stop the cough. thanks.

one week and three trainings away to THE RACE that we had been slogging for for seven months. HANG IN THERE!

back from the long awaited for penang race. didn't managed to take aloot of pictures due to the pathetically short battery lifespan of disposable batteries and the lack of memories space, but here are some pictures that i managed to captured when both the batteries and memory are cooperating. had a hard time trying to post all the pictures into one post... for those who know of a better and easier way of doing it pls leave a msg k? my pictures all appear as individual posts...

okay short recap of the trip.

091205
rushed home after training to finish packing my bag and make sure i didn't leave anything behind and bought the untrustworthy batteries for my camera. (which at that point of time i didn't know it is untrustworthy, total waste of money), met mona at hougang mall and took cab to the airport to meet the reat of the team at terminal 2 BK and prepare for check in.


here all the passports with the tickets ready for check in.
