30 April...

Such an eventful day...2 papers at 1 go. I believe Dr. P must be sneezing non-stop now. No, not flu....definitely it isn't....even if it was, it should be the most irritating and hideous strain. And no, i'm not whining over the lack of preparation, in fact I didn't even bothered much except to read through once. I should have slept more and watched more shows last night. It should be concepts concepts and concepts, and something that we have learnt before. There shouldn't be the choice of more than 1 answer. In short, this paper stinks!

811 was fine though, that's the good thing about S/U, relaxed and easy. I definitely can pass....who can't? And got to try out the hyundai matrix today thanks to Marilyn. I haven't driven a car for more than a year, thank god I'm still good. At least i'm still blogging now after the drive around NTU. Ok, never get a korean car, no power, squeezy, no leg space, slow acceleration, dying when going up a slope. Even when on flat ground when the brakes are freed, the car doesn't even move an inch etc...definitely toyota or honda anytime...but I still prefer the luxury of BMW 300 and 700 series though.

Reports

1 year of reports....anyone gotten a single "Good" for any of them? Well I got 1 finally, even got a double tick...but for something more amusing. At least I think it's amusing, for all my hard effort in my discussions I got that compliment not where I want it to be.

Things to do (Draft)

This upcoming holiday is going to be real long....3 whole months and since i'm bored now, let me just try pondering on what activities to carry out:

• Dump my notes
• Go Pulau Tioman for a relaxing holiday
• Revisit Pulau Ubin...I miss that place tonnes.
• Read Harry Potter
• Read some management/business books.
• Explore opportunities.
• Much as I hate it, go for IPPT. And no, i'm not as unfit as I might appear. The S$200 for silver award is mine!!!
• Get a full-time job for 2 months, need to source out my contacts real soon.
• Tame monkeys.
• I'm going to learn conversational Thai this holidays! Just got my passion card...maybe I should learn conversational German too. I'm done with French, now it's self-learning.
• Not forgetting to splurge on food. I've got countless haunts to seek and test out. There's high tea at Goodwood Park, the french stall(i'm gonna try snails!!), the guthrie bakery, the amk crab, ju ju steamboat, italian sausages, thai food at golden mile etc...got a place you wanna try out? Ask me along if you can't find a partner.
• I must go back to Terminal 2 for the western food..i'm gonna eat the grilled catfish no matter what....
• Go JB for seafood...
• Bake some new stuff...i'm gonna try pandan cake...
• Get over to someone's place and we'll all cook LC's jap curry thingy and invite everyone for dinner.
• Watch le fantôme de l'operá!!! A must!!
• Swimming
• Jogging
• Basketball
• I might just go to Surabaya for a holiday before school starts again. Shall confirm again later...

I'll add to the list when I think of more stuff....

Cholesterol

Above is the closest replica of an "artist's" impression of a cholesterol molecule. Make a guess on the artist's identity if you can afford the time....it really isn't hard.

22

Well well...that's a number our batch will be getting increasingly familiar with but Garrie got it way ahead of us. Everyone's getting old but I'm still rather fresh from 21~!! Anyway, had a mini gathering for the man yesterday. It's the exam period, yeah yeah I know, but birthdays aren't supposed to be spent with books and notes! The crime scene's at NYDV, Holland Village.

The group...excluding Beverly

Ok, now we're missing Chung Ping...

The Babes...it's an XXY combination

The Dudes..

Time for some role-play...


Now be good and say 'ahhhhh...'


His Cake: The Oreo Cheesecake...damn filling...Just look at him, he's one happy contended man!

His Gift: A shirt from Raoul

Just before I forget, this is my 'Cowa-Bunga with Zitt Pasta'.

And this is Beverly with Chung Ping's humongous Nikon SLR!!

Credits go to the $3k man, Chung Ping for the wonderful pictures and of course the organiser and purchaser, Michelle. I bet he went shedding tears once he reached home for the effort we put in!!

Never study late...

I believe those who stays in hostels or near forested areas do experience this phenomenon: Insects all flocking into your room when yours is the only bright spot in the whole neighbourhood at midnight. It just happened to me again...this time it wasn't the cute little baby, it was the big fat ugly papa or mama. Suddenly flew in, snucked up to my ceiling and dropped right onto my bed with a loud *piak* sound. I'm never afraid of these crawlies...but i'm not going to be friends with them either. All the rough paper from scribbling notes come in real handy during such times.

So this is the consequence of trespassing:

But it still aren't giving up...I did a video of it squirming and trying to flip around.

It got whacked a few more times till fainted and committed 'induced suicide' with my assistance from the 11th storey. There was a little baby praying mantis right outside my window too. You lot can guess where it went to...

Till then....

Rich-O-Meter

Single guys are mostly rich; Single girls are mostly poor.

Try this out!!

Aunty Rosy's recommendation for stress relief:

>> How Smart is Your Right Foot <<

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2.now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.
Your foot will change direction.

Another amazingly fruitful day....

Yeah I know, it's supposed to be the "mugging season" for all and I should be a nice, good boy and stare at my notes but i'm here blogging. Well, I know many are stressed out over exams and not enough time to study repetitively etc...but somehow I simply don't feel stress. I know i'm mad, maybe some neurons died or my stress gene got repressed, I never get stressed over exams and tests. I believe stress will make a person under-perform!

Just to start things off...107 lecture was relatively un-boring as everyone's looking out for possible tips. I was telling Alvin to use his psycho knowledge to analyse which are the potential questions from Droge's tone. But his lecture was hilariously short, just 30+ minutes, ended at 9.10am and French lesson's at 12.30pm while everyone's flaunting their "i'm going home" look to me. I really dread going for this last French lesson ok!! Timing sucks and there's going to be the distribution of the cursed test paper back. But this is where the good stuff starts to flow in though. I dragged myself to class...

1st rude shock: I forgot to do 2 whole questions for homework again...I honestly somehow always forget to do something for homework.

2nd rude shock: I didn't fail my test, in fact, I got 21/30. Not very high right? It's not the quantity that counts ok, it's the quality...I took a quick glance, the average's around 17-18. I'm surprisingly the highest? lol...so currently totalling up my score for all 3 tests, I should be somewhere at the above average to high end. But there's still a weak link: listening comprehension done with a cassette is sucky, it's not meant for human ears.

Being the last lesson, the tutor asked whether any of us will be taking lesson 2 aka LF81 next semester. Well...French is manageable but whether to further it or to take a new language, let's just leave it for later. Anyway, French lesson was no doubt damn fun today with all the group practice. J'adore la français!! Now i'm starting to have regrets on exercising the S/U option...lol

Another good thing just came in....i've got a date with Xq for Pirates 3 or Spiderman 3!! I'm gonna be treated...how nice! Thanks in advance!! And now where's LC with le gâteau pomme café?? lolx...

Till then...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Yeah, as the name suggests, it's with regards to the upcoming harry potter series. Yilin brought my attention to this lovable series years back and her enthusiasm had rubbed off me. I pre-ordered it online, kind of expensive but oh well, on the 21st July, I shall lay my hands on this book!! Let's just look forward to what's in store for us...

Till then....
