154 seriously sucked big time. Today missed a bus and nearly missed another one. But luckily I managed to squeeze into it. Hehe! If not I will be late for school.

Alright, let's jump straight to the party! Well, it is because of NP's birthday, so they decided to hold a party in the convention center again. :) It is not surprising that NP is like holding another party in a few month's time. Haha! So yea, the party was quite good, the atmosphere. It was green lighting everywhere! Listening to the high-beat songs can really make you forget about things and just wanna move. Too bad, I can't dance. Hehe!

As usual, dancers will be surrounded by a circle. The lighting is really killing my eyes. Party lovers, NP is the best place you wanna be. Hehe! Check out the pics! :D Handphone's camera still sucked... Lol...




I love this effect! :D


The dance floor!

Now, ELTECH comes into the picture with integration. LOL! Yea, some parts are just so confusing and difficult to find the easy way out. Haha! And yes, Thursdays are good to do homework but not the mood to do so. Feeling pretty tired and just wanna slack. Haha! But oh well, once my IAC starts in December, I can't go home by 12pm on Thursdays. Argh.

Why does lecturers have to psycho their students to go for talks? -.- I guess they chose those top students of the division to attend this talk. -.- Sometimes scoring well doesn't mean good. Hehe! Damn, so I went for the talk after school. It is about the "Take-The-Lead Programme". So after much thorough considering, I decided to opt into this programme and wanted to help out in the Freshman Orientation Programme for MDE. But my wish is always to help in the NPSU. Haiz... T.T

Then went to meet for soccer with some S1 guys - AJ, David, Leong Meng, Khai and Saddam. I was dressed Adidas from top to bottom except for my underwear. LOL! Can't find any up till now. Guess what? My mother bought me a few pairs of Adidas ankle socks too! :D

Alright, anyway, it was damn suay la. After not kicking a ball for about a month, I never get to kick the ball in my first match either. -.- They scored right from the kick off. RAHHHH! Then next match somehow ended the same way, except it lasted longer. For the third match was better, I finally got to run up and down. Haha! But my fitness is not really there seriously, not even my touch of the ball. The feeling of shooting the ball was kinda weird, muscles were hard. >.<

Integration truly sucks! Haha! There are so many types of ways to integrate things and some even confuse you. Today finally finished the chapter on integration. Phew. Looking back, there IS really lots of things to know. =/

Damn, I found a part of paint on my phone keypad being scrapped off, as well as some scratches. Maybe it is due to my jagged fingernail. Lol! So I shall not SMS with my right hand until it becomes smooth. >.<

Gotten the consent form for the OIP(Overseas Immersion Programme) trip to Wuhan, China. Not sure if parents are willing to let me go. Hehe! 2 months there. Well, I can be exempted from some boring modules. :P But we have to write reports on it or whatsoever? T.T

Haiz... so sad... wished you were here

Met up with majority of the Team 3 people except for Dang and Violet. So yea, we went to CDANS at Bukit Batok to play bowling. Well, after a few throws I found out that my right thumb nail came off. T.T It was hell painful luh, but luckily it never bleed or came out a big piece, only the top part. O.O Now I can only SMS with my left hand only.

Then went to Lot 1 for a movie. This was my first time watching a horror film in the cinema - The Coffin. It is not really scary, just frightening at times. Even though I was not really frightened, but I was frightened by Nian Yue's shock. Haha! Well, of course some parts I dared not watch. Hehe!

Damn, my phone battery died out on me today for the first time since I had my first phone in Sec 2. -.- Last night it was still 7-bar(which was after about a week), then this morning was 6-bar. Within a few hours, it went totally flat while playing bowling. RAH!

Alrighto, chionged 2 movies today. Get Smart and Wanted in the morning and afternoon respectively. Get Smart is really a stupid show but funny. Haha! The things they do are quite dumb. Hehe! Wanted was quite... complicated? Lol! You kill other people end up you have to kill yourself. O.O Don't really quite understand the movie. Shoot-outs are quite fake too. :P

2 weeks of school just went past like that, and we are entering the 3rd week of the new term. Fast eh? Soon, it will be my birthday, Christmas, and a brand new year again. Shucks, life is getting fast. o.o

Looking forward to Football Manager 2009! :D

Already had a bad omen this morning for my EM3A class. I placed my laptop under my table. Without noticing, I tried to squeeze my bag in. Next thing you know, my laptop was on the floor with a big bang. O.O Damn NP tables, they don't have any support at the end of the table. RAH!

School's quite alright today, just that it is a very cooling day to have a good sleep. Hehe! Well, COMPRO is always fun to attend. Spotting your own mistakes as well as your friend's ones. Lol! And yes, I kept finding loopholes in my coding. Why? Cause the system which marks our coding, is very petty. Any small difference, it will mark you down. So I am trying to get 100%. Haha!

Wondering why the Sec 2s are having such a hard time to choose their subjects... Hehe! :P

Alright, today was frustrated with my EM3A tutorial, in exact, INTEGRATION! Seriously, it is getting on my nerves now. Argh. Some of the questions are just so... ARGHHHH! It is just worse than proving your trigo functions. -.- What's worse is that once I don't understand I will figure out until I understand or I can get the answer. This lead to me forgetting to charge my iPod and having a later dinner. Lol! Yea, I am a Maths addict. :) Luckily integration is ending soon... I guess. =/

Too bad, life is like that. When we know how to get out of the house, we must know how to get home. -.-

The one things which you don't wanna do after school is to wait for 154 at NP. Missed one bus due to too packed and waited for 30mins before the next one came. Meanwhile, lots of the same service came. RAH!

My advanced Maths module is not really about doing more Maths, but understanding the theory behind Maths. Haha! But it doesn't really mattered to us? Maybe for our understand for why this name is given for this kind of equation. Lol! 70% of the marks comes from the final exam, a very high weightage. Quite stressed huh? But we were told that we are the cream of the crop of NP(or top 20%), and I really mean the whole NP. This is because we took this module which is about the same level as university Maths? o.O Hehe!

I quit T&F last night... ... ... ...

Integration is not as easy as it seems. Yea, there is so much more to integrate other than what you had learned in secondary school. And, my lecturer is going through the questions like we know it. doing shortcuts in his own mind. Haha! It is quite difficult for me to know what he is thinking. =/ Just gonna understand and do it my way then...

While walking home, was thinking about secondary school times. Yea, after school~ Used to have our lunch and off to soccer till late evening until our form teacher complains. Hehe! Now, going home early is quite boring. And I had not played soccer since even before I left for Chiangmai last month. Haiz.

Yep, and teachers chasing you for homeworks and nagging at you. Well, we don't have that in poly, at least for me. They just tell you to do your tutorials and hand in, not having said in detail on what to do... somtimes. Lol.

Come to think about my juniors and JC friends are enjoying their post-exam period, it just makes me ill. Haha! Damn sian, projects and tutorials start to flood in. Today's presentation was a lil' screwed up I guess? =/ Hopefully won't be marked down too much. Haiz...

Took 154 back home but this bus was quite unique. Its interior is like some kind of pub feeling. The seats are rather more retro than those you see in SBS buses. Haha! The seat is much more comfortable. :) They also play songs from Singapore bands which don't really sound appealing to me. Hehe! The difference is just so obvious.

I WANT TO PLAY SOCCER!!! :(

Today met up with some of the councillors regarding some orientation stuffs, mainly Andy, Qi Long, Hui Min, Debra, Zul and Adeline. Was feeling quite sleepy though, after my KFC meal. Hehe! So discussed and discussed and we just left.

Andy went home while the rest of us just loitered around at JP. Later on we had nothing to do so left with Hui Min, Qi Long and me to go window shopping. Hui Min was like don't wanting to go home. Haha! So... we just walked around JP for quite a few times... aimlessly. Going up and down and chatting. Haha!

Ended up in McDonald's for a break and off back home. Tomorrow's presentation. SIAN! Poor Hui Min~ Hehe! :)

Slept halfway and my gastric pain is here again. Wth. Well, I already had some weird feeling at my stomach area before I sleep, so I hoped the best out of it as today I am having IVP which ended up staying at home to continue my sleep from 12am.

Went to the Westpoint Hospital and ended up paying money for his speech. -.-''' Then went back home to hope for miracle but ended up in NUH at about 5.30am. Waited for an hour before I can see the doctor. Kept dozing off, very sleepy, can say that I only slept for like an hour or so.

Damit! I think I visited the doctor the most in this year. -.-

Seriously, COMPRO, in other words, C Programming is cool! :) It's very fun when you get mistakes, making the software unable to process your coding. Haha! This is because you will be looking at your friend's screen to find your mistake and try to make it resemble his/hers. Yea, and I always forget to put the ";" at every end. RAH!

Heavy books are really killing me, plus carrying a laptop in one of your hands. It sucks more if you don't have a seat on the bus. Haha! So yea, first week of school was pretty fine, just that we already had a project to do on the first day of school which will be presented on next Monday. -.-'''

Let me get over this week and things should be fine... =/

Had my first COMT class today, lasted for 2 hours only and back home. We were then split into groups and made new friends such as Yao Song, Kenneth and Matthew. Then each group were to talk in front of the class about a given topic without pausing. Unluckily, Kenneth paused for a while and we had to do forfeit - singing. So we sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. LOL! Surprisingly, our lecturer Ms Teo was actually impressed with our spirit of singing together... just like that without hesitating. Hehe!

Now, back to serious work. We had to do some information paper for this module which actually meant a research report. -.- So we brainstormed some topics to research on and we came to nothing after 1 hour. Haha! Well, a few of our suggestions were rejected due to some reasons. But we chose to do military technology in the end. Hopefully it goes well... at least for me. =/

ASTATS for today was alright, it was just basically doing cumulative frequency stuffs which we are drilled enough by Mr Liew. Haha! But, I still forgot some things but it was alright. :) Just that you had to create your own frequency table.

After lunch was IAM, the advanced Maths thingy. Haha! Well, the lecturer said that this module, he wants us to study independently, meaning he will only briefly go through the notes and just ask us do tutorials. Yet, he doesn't want to see our tutorials. Haha! So yea, any questions just find him. But after class we just stayed back to do some tutorial and he is quite funny though. Haha! Not a bad lecturer. :)

Went for training and had shin splints again. Damn. Then bused home with Hong Yong. Why? Cause he was in my school for some information gathering of POLITE. Haha!

Tomorrow's Thursday and I am having my IS tomorrow. New classmates and much much more presentations to do. Haiz... T.T

I don't seem to feel it... =/

Well, school's starting again. It was unlucky for me early in the morning already. I went to the wrong block. Only felt suspicious when why aren't anybody there yet. Haha! So just rushed to the correct block and class haven't started. :)

Early release and went to buy my books first before the next class. It was THICK! Had Maths, Statistics and C Programming classes later. Statistics was quite okay, just that we had to buy another THICKER book which costs about $40. RAHHH! And you use it for this short 6 months only. -.-

C Programming was quite interesting, just we are just typing the coding blindly, don't know what does each coding does. Haha! But it was cool. :) I'm so gonna hate Communication Toolkit after reading the notes. :@

So, every Monday I had to bring my laptop with charger etc, 3-4 books, 2 of which is THICK enough to compensate the thin ones. T.T My left shoulder is still aching now.

Crumpler is tearing my shirt apart...

First of all, Happy Birthday Chin Kuang! :)


Yep, and we went to KBox at Cineleisure to celebrate his birthday. Nian Yue was already hyped up and his actions looked quite funny while singing. Haha! I don't know why, but my voice sounds weird through the mic. o.o

Sang all the way from 2pm to 6pm for me. I had to leave because I am having a relative gathering dinner at my house. Sorry. :) Once I opened the door, I saw my little cousin(Jiaqi) there looking at me, then hugs his father's legs. Am I that scary? T.T Haha! Cute~ :) Long time since I saw them...

Let the photos do the talking!


Birthday cake.


Birthday Boy Feat. Kai Chung.


Dang!





I can't really sleep that night, thinking if it was real. Yet, it was not. :(

An early post today. Haha! :)

After waking up, just have the urge to look at my report book again. My results have improved quite a lot through these 4 years except during Sec 2. Haha! Maybe it is because of our Science teacher? :P My results dropped quite a lot in that year but I still managed to get the subjects I wanted. Didn't thought of reuniting with my classmates in Sec 3 cause I think choosing the right subjects is still more important? But I always wanted to remain as an E1-ian to maintain a good record of 1E1 to 4E1. Hehe! Yep, so Sec 2 juniors, please choose wisely, you don't wanna regret. ;D

Well, quite a few things happened after I reached Sec 3 onwards, and I think that's where it completes my secondary school life~

My fitness is dropping after not having mass run sessions. The evidence is: my 2.4km timing had dropped and I never reached the Top 20 of the X-Country run ever since. Haha! My best NAPFA record was in Sec 2 - 10:53mins for 2.4km and 29pts for NAPFA. I never knew how I ran 10:53mins from a 11:30mins in Sec 1. O.O Although I still play soccer almost everyday after school, but I still can't get my fitness back. :(

I never passed my Combined Humanities again until my O Level prelims - 50.0 marks. :) And once again, I failed in O Level. Haha! Yea, I truly suck at it. :P It was quite surprising for me that I gotten 10th in level position in Sec 3. Maybe it was due to my Maths and Science to compensate. Haha!

I was appointed as Chairman in Sec 4 for some unforeseen circumstances. Haha! Yea, and I thought it was a joke while I was helping out in the Sec 1 Orientation that year as I was not in class for most of the time. "This chairman here also don't have the look of a chairman", some would say. HAHA! But what to do? :) But I really don't feel any extra power being a chairman, just a normal student who just does extra jobs like... taking care of the class diary? LOL!

Had my first official orientation class(although I had 1 in Sec 3, which I went somewhere else to enjoy instead. :P) for the Sec 1 Orientation - 1E3. This is when I had my first close junior who keep pestering me for ghost stories, which I don't know why as I am not the storyteller, yet I am her leader/senior. And she is none other than... Shronn. Haha! Then had some irrelevant scandal with her, thanks to Damien. -.-''' Haha!

This time round, I got a 7th position in the prelims. And I swear I was stunned for a few seconds. But of course, I was happy. :) Just because Damien gotten a 8th place, but only a small difference in percentage, he whacked me... if I am not wrong. And I was sitting right next to him. Thanks Damien... again. LOL!

Now in NP, you don't really find such fun in interacting with your seniors etc. Everybody is busy with work, presentations, CCAs and their own friends. So all you can do is to interact with your classmates. And, you don't usually hang out with your friends in the canteen after school till late, like what we usually do in secondary school. Maybe you can still do that in JC. Haha!

So yea, enjoy your secondary school life before it is too late, kids! :D Maybe going for a run later in the afternoon? Yes? No? I DON'T KNOW!

***For the full coverage of my secondary school life, please refer to the 15 Nov '07 post. :)

Maybe I should just do what I am best(or only better) - soccer.

Last night came across this song The Click Five - All I Need Is You and made me wanna watch the class video again. Haha! Yea, lots of memories there. Watch out, quite a number of my face in there. Lol!


Then it made me remembered about the class gathering at my house BBQ pit(which never quite turned out well). As a chairman, I am always saboh-ed to do such things. Haha! Watch it and you will know. :) Bluek!

Today tagged along with Daniel and Kai Chung for pool. Caught 3 YCS teachers skiving on Marking Day to go KBox. Haha! Then went to IMM to take the shuttle bus back to JP. On the way, saw Wei Ling and Xiu Wei and I never noticed them until I looked closer. Haha! Then walked around in JP and saw those 2 girls at Popular again. -.- How can it be so coincident?! Haha! Also, saw Darren, a group of YC Netball girls inside McDonalds and some YCS people.

Haiz, coughing is still on. :(

Commitment not there. Failure... =/

I had received a letter. The envelope wrote "On Government Service", without any NP logo on it. So, I knew it was nothing but NS things. Haha! Indeed it was, from MINDEF. They invited me to the SAF BMTC at Pulau Tekong to see the lifestyle there etc. Haiz, time flies so fast. About 2-3 years later I will be in there. :(

Whole day was playing... Neopets. Maybe for the afternoon only. :) Had nothing to do and don't have the mood to watch Ironman since I watched it before. Haha! School's starting soon too. Back to classrooms, lectures, tutorials, breaks, presenations(sucked), more maths, and meeting new friends. BORINGGGG~

Last night was watching TV and heard the song 晴天 by 周杰伦, and this made me wanna get his old songs. Haha! And sure I went to find his discography. :D Yea, those sad love songs are nice. The funny thing is that, I know the tune of the song, yet I don't know the name. So while hearing, I will like "ohhhhhh~ so this is it...". You get what I mean? Haha! Then had some frustrating time synchronising the songs to my iPod and phone due to some careless tagging of songs. RAH!

Haiz, my left knee still hurts and my cough isn't going away. It sucks seriously. Quite paiseh of not going for so many trainings. :( Now, training is being moved to Toa Payoh Stadium which even sucks more luh. Haiz... Maybe I should follow my heart...

I got a new phone again. Whee! It's a Nokia N78. My first time getting a smartphone and a Nseries phone. It was a cool phone but the keypad is a little fcuked up. Haha! I thought the right-selection key was spoilt, but you need the skill to press it. Lol!


Afternoon went to IMM to get the screen protector and my camera pouch from Challengers and Mini Toons respectively. Went home and tried to put on the screen protector. It really needs skill and patience to do a perfect job. But after pasting the screen, I found out that there is ONE dust on the screen. RAHHH!!! It will be stucked there for as long as I can remember. :( Then did the keypad and the back cover. :)

Saw quite a number of YCS people at IMM too, but I don't remember seeing their faces at all. Haha! I guess IMM and JEC is their next hangout place. JP is outdated. :)

My legs are aching again after not exercising for a period of time. MY left knee area still hurts while walking. RAHHH! Why do I always have injuries after track training?! -.-

So, today realised that my iPod library is pretty "clean" as I resynchronized all my songs a few days back. Why? Because I realised that having the iPod Classic, without any album art, it is no different from the previous generation of the iPod. Haha! So, I re-tagged all my songs with the album art and wheets, it sure looked nice on the "Cover Flow" view. :D My MediaMonkey got a break after so long as I used my iPod instead for the whole day. Trying to simulate the play counts back. Haha!

It is just 1 week away from schooling again, semester 2. When my juniors enjoy their post-exam, I shall get into post-holidays. Haiz, and I think next week we(those who went for YEP) had to go back to the Grace Orchard School to paint. o.o Holidays are getting fast.

This morning woke up at 7am to prepare for my 2nd track training in the holidays. Haha! Quite a few are very shocked to see me missing for the past few weeks for training. For the IVP, I was thrown to 1500m, which I had never ran before in my life. But I was in the reserves.

So today trained with the mid-distance runners and hell it was tiring after running for 1.2km. I felt giddy and felt like vomiting so I just stopped and resumed at the last workout. Also, I think I injured my knee or something, maybe added to much pressure to it while running. RAH!

Got a feeling that I can't commit much to track. See how it goes.

Being a leader is better than being a participant.
