amkss family day 2007 ; Saturday, March 31, 2007 23:16
went with gerald, shiyuan and cm to sentosa today. event was 0830-1300 but by the time we reached, it was past 11. met boon xiang and angelia there, but we spent our time mixing around on the beach with the 5a06 class. the sun was VERY hot. maybe because of the time. played volleyball and swam around. think i should swim more. my swimming stamina's very poor. by the time we bathed and changed, it was 1530. quite badly sunburned, i think.
took the sentosa bus to harbourfront interchange. the group of 5aers and a teacher decided to go to the food court at harbourfront to eat. then gerald left, followed by the rest of the group. the remaining of us waitied for angelia, because our volleyball was with her. then we took a train back to ang mo kio.
AND WE WENT TO PLAY POOL. well, that was quite expected. rotated turns, and left at 2130 for dinner. angelia was feeling a little sick, AND HER APPETITE PROVED IT. the cause? unknown. dots. we got shiyuan to send her home, as weilie and cm went to snookerum to look for wz.
home i went. nothing i could do. was ps-ed already as usual. reached home 2305. i spent 14hours and 35 minutes outside today. all tired, and BURNT.

i realise i dont understand people enough ; 00:01
there's something weird going on.
im asking people who i thought i knew to go out, but in actual fact i dont. you see, i dont really understand the people i knew since sec1. going out with them doesn't really help you to know them. it just bonds you two together. but thats not the point here.
pick 2or3 people out from my 1c2001 class for example. people who i thought i was really close with. and when you reach a point, you see through them completely. it's like being reborn. they're not the same people you knew anymore. why is that so? if i knew i wouldnt be here blogging away.
seriously speaking, i lost my confidence and trust in people already. this makes me suspicious of their actions thus, conflicts. but do they ever think that they're the cause of this? i tried, no one can say i didnt, to hold on and to fight back. but alas, setbacks bring me back to earth. so rooted that i can no longer stand on my feet. just the thought of it hurts. and i dont know what i can do.
there's no way i want my 3years in poly to be going anti-social, yet i've to curb these thoughts and be positive. optimistic that the past is just a dream, and there's still a long road in front of me to go. if i struggle, i wont sink. and that's probably what i'll try, for now.
i know why i failed you. i know why you left me. it's because i thought i understood you enough, but i didnt. and through this 2years, i still haven't learnt my lesson. i cant even understand my friends. im sorry if i hurt you.

d marquee! ; Monday, March 26, 2007 00:45
i was finally back to working after a long break before my ite final term exams. when i wasn't redeployed for my ph, i asked liang sheng whether he had job vacancies. so came along this, though it ate up my sunday afternoon. 4-11pm and $6.50 an hour is not bad too.
the venue was downtown east, pasar ris. the event was held at "d marquee", or the big white tent beside wild wild wet. it's somehow joined with aranda. some waiter job where we had to serve the dish, CUT FISH, and portion the servings for the people.
today's event was - PREMIER ANNUAL DINNER AND DANCE 2007.
all of the invites were taxi drivers, most of a relative older age. to say the least, it is a very fun job, though you are required to stand throughout your course of work, making it tiring. BUT THE PEOPLE WERE SO NICE! omg. something that has to be there to make time pass faster. I DID have second thoughts about working there when it was early and we were practically rotting away. but i put that aside when we were required to serve the dish. a skill was needed to cut the fish, and still make it look NORMAL TO EAT.
we were actually required to portion the noodles using a fork and spoon with one hand! lucky there was not enough time so it was self-service. (:
but anyway, i really enjoyed my first day of work there. and i would be looking forward to work there again! get to know the really nice people, girls and guys..

sentosa? no.. ; Friday, March 23, 2007 13:42
i decided to give the sentosa trip a miss. shi yuan was sick so he didnt go. thought that i would be bored if he didnt go, so i abandoned the thought a couple of minutes ago. pity william a little. told him i decided to back out at the last minute.. was i right?

OMGF ; Tuesday, March 20, 2007 16:27
i just had very horrible news for myself. my mother was doing her spring cleaning, so i flipped through last year's poly magazines. read the ones for tp, nyp and rp. and i found out something i wished i didnt knew.
TP'S INFO-COMM IS UNDER ENGINEERING SCHOOL. which means, i literally spent one year in ite when i could have went there in 2006. so the jae yellow book bluff-ed me. im going to spend my next 3 years going on 2 hour bus journeys studying engineering!
hope my rp appeal and nyp dae will be successful..

vivo ; Friday, March 16, 2007 21:49
went to vivo with gerald today. the first time i went there since it opened. only went harbourfront twice also. quite suprising for a weekday, it's still quite packed. maybe because it's the march holidays.
went to candy empire to buy jelly beans. (:
a lot of boutique shops there. and many names i never saw before. well, it's quite big. but i like the scenery viewed from the open gallery. view of sentosa with the merlion's head. other than that, nothing much to walk.
AND IM STILL DREADING MY POLY APPEAL RESULTS. I HAVE NOT MUCH WISH TO GO TP. LOL.

intermediate accounting paper ended my ite life.. ; Wednesday, March 14, 2007 19:46
iac was not much better than bs. i memorised the formats for tp/l and balance sheet. and i threw everything in. somehow, it still didnt balance. and i got a NET LOSS for the first question. hope the coe and stock valuation can save me. the worse i wanna get for my iac is a grade c.
well, i'll end my chapter in ite here with this note.
the past 10 months have been a very enjoyable one for me. though i didnt think much of ite, my class quickly enabled me to change my thinking. still could remember.. the first person i knew was tara, whose then best friend was shiyuan. bf group work grouped me with william and vincent. and so on.
really wanted to stay on, but i was posted to tp's info-comm. accounting CAN BE quite boring, due to the FULL THEORY lessons. but it's quite easy also. once you know the formats, everything is just classified accordingly. at the very least, i learnt a lot while in bishan. sadly, william, june yong and mei yan left before the exams.
and the click of friends - shiyuan, vincent, liang sheng, kelvin and sometimes jasmine - i'll never forget you guys. the lamest and fun times....((:

business statistics was even more .... ; Tuesday, March 13, 2007 18:41
i had to recover from a double blow today.
firstly, bs was not exactly easy. if you can flip to a page which says "calculate the mean (8 marks)" or "find the trend equation (12 marks)", you should be telling yourself that you're either gonna get a distinction or fail very badly. AND THERE WAS THEORY. something maybe, few studied? so again we were comparing, who had more blanks. BC WAS STILL BETTER.
secondly, my jae appeal failed. which means im still going to tp. well, 99%? wrote to rp and appealed again. they told me to send in my revelant documents. im gonna do it tmr! i dont wanna go tp. it's so damn far? 20 stops by train. dont dare to imagine the bus journey. and everyone's telling me that if you study info-com, you've to go uni. if i can even get a gpa of 4 points for any one of my tests, it'd be quite good already.
i just printed my 1st of three informal letters to the ite teachers. cant think of the other two. maybe i'll just give one. and that'll be so biased. (:

business communications was .... ; Monday, March 12, 2007 15:22
1 paper down, 2 to go.
unfortunately, if every paper's gonna be like today's, i think i cant even make it for my target gpa of 3 points. seriously speaking, today's paper wasn't difficult. tested on reply to enquiry, memorandum, notice and minutes of meeting. there was a catch. all the info given was in halves, so it tested us whether to include the missing words, or leave it as it was. so when the paper ended, many people ended up having different answers.
business statistics tomorrow. and i haven't studied. im not even supposed to be using the computer now. it just "happened" to be on. anyway, gonna spend the whole the whole evening to night studying. wouldnt look nice if i can get 40+/50 for all my tests and fail the final paper.
went with shiyuan to heartland mall just now to shop for a volleyball . coz SOMEONE suggested that there were wide varieties there. we only saw two shops - world of sports and sportslink. oh wow. i think even j8 has more VARIETIES there. and so we bought one. i was like, so where are we going now? and then we realised, that there was nothing to do there. so we took 136 back.
i found out something. practically almost every shopping centre would be occupied by a school if there's one located near it. j8 has many different school, and for heartland mall, it's sr. every corner you turn, you see students.
can we be friends?

薯童谣 ; Thursday, March 08, 2007 23:20
the channel 55 tvb drama "the song of prince" ended today. the reign of 55 episodes finally concluded. it was sad, but nice. and THOUGH i only stated watching from 40/55, guess i still understood it as there were many flashbacks.
quoted this: fate is not something which is predestined it is something you can hope for and avoid but i have to admit i cannot avoid this because i cant stop myself from loving you i miss you
jx, i'll never forget you...

i got posted! but to tp. ; Tuesday, March 06, 2007 13:26
The result of your application are as follows: Posted Institution: Temasek Polytechnic Course Name: Diploma in Info-Communications Course Code: T37
i thought i should be happy. guess i wasn't. not that it was my 4th choice. prefered my 2nd one - np biomedical science. firstly, the distance. secondly, my friend in the course told me it sucks. hope it isn't that bad. gotta go for the mass appeals today and tomorrow, and wish for the best.
i was wondered. just when i thought i've gotten one of the best classes in my studying education, i've to leave them. if only i didn't retake my olevels, maybe i would be happier then. the people i'd never have knew if i didnt transfer from dover. the class environment that the teachers didnt really like. and it had to come to an end. i have just 8 more days with them....

tired ; Saturday, March 03, 2007 02:23
i finally managed to sit down and tell myself that i can use the computer. very hectic schedules for wed and thurs. nyp called me on monday and told me to bring the revelant documents to the student recuitment and adminstration office. but they didnt give a deadline.
dismissed at 12 and 1 on wednesday and thursday. working at 4 for both days. coincidentially, it rained on the afternoons. so i had to rush home and leave straight for work. friday was not much better. had bc remedial till 1515. and it rained just as we were to leave. only that i wasn't working. but i reached home, 4+. the office would have closed by the time i reached there.
and my mother had to add to it. she told me that i didnt know how to prioritize my time and that i PURPOSELY didnt want to submit my papers. so you're trying to say i want to stay in ite? actually i dont mind, but the way she said it, it just pissed me off. didnt talk for the rest of the day till now.
and im so sleepy. just watched finish "the song of prince" on scv channel 55. it's nice! but i only watched the ending 10+ episodes. (:
amkss band concert on sunday. still thinking whether i should go..
