last day of lunar 7th month ; Saturday, August 30, 2008 20:40
today's the last day of the lunar seventh month!
maybe i'm over superstitious, but many things have happened to me and the people around me. :(
anyway, class chalet is confirmed. let everyone know the details when i get them. (:

the END of 2.1 ; Friday, August 29, 2008 18:28
i could say i practically panicked throughout the wireless paper today. now i'm even more worried for this paper than my ewebapp. hopefully the scores level out. (:
went to carl's junior at marina square with terence, weiliang, xianlong and khairul after that. superstar double upsize = very full. it still is now.
walked to sim lim square after that. realised that i haven't walked from cityhall to bugis in a long time. tired and almost lost.
- f704 peeps. our class chalet is 99% 8, 9 and 10 september 2008. this should be confirmed by sunday. if we get the school's $100 thing, then it should be about $10 per person.
food and games comm. we'll decide closer to the date. possibly shopping next weekend. anyone else who wanna come can text me! (: -
exams are over and i'm still worrying. cheer camp. report at 0745 at grand stand. while i wake up and rush on the bus, everyone else would probably still be sleeping.
what time can i reach? good question. i wonder.

unwell AGAIN ; Wednesday, August 27, 2008 10:29
i wonder what did i do to suffer so much. i think i fall sick at least once in two months? and i hate the indigestion feeling. sucks.
this dumb things usually become worse at night. i think they're smart. because thats when no one's awake and i'll have to suffer myself.
lucky my brother has no lesson today! googled for a 24hr clinic, then my brother drove me there. left house 0040.
if you pespire means you're recovering? because i remembered that i was sweating non-stop throughout the night. wore my addidas shirt because there was no constrain to my neck and the sweat doesn't stick! bathed first thing in the morning.
and i haven't studied netinfra. 1 hour to do so before meeting weiliang and terence for lunch! i will do well! (:

beijing olympics closing ; Sunday, August 24, 2008 22:50
i fell asleep, washed my face and came online to blog that the beijing olympics 2008 ended 27 minutes ago!
congratulations singapore on winning they're first medal in 48 years, as well as other atheletics who broke their own and world records.
special credits to jamaica's ulsan bolt and usa's michael phelps! (:

random. resigned. ; 11:38
this post is for weiling because she said i didn't update my blog. oh no! i'm becoming random also.
i know i shouldn't do this comparison, but why is my poly class so much NOT like my ite and secondary school classes? could it be because there were more people then, and it was possible to overlook some and there'll still be more than enough people?
okayy, i'm sort of resigned. i thought organising a chalet was easy. ass.u.m.e
i gave people this hope, and i'm suffering the repercussions now. so i guess, i'll leave the chalet to someone who wants to take the initiative. because it seems here that although everyone say, "i want the chalet!", but i'm the only one taking action. *twins are counted as one* HAHA.
or maybe i should've listened to weiliang after all??
- add fuel to it. arsenal lost to fulham. 1-0.
put it this way. if arsene wenger doesn't buy a holding midfield before 1sept08, arsenal can expected to be booted out of the top 4.
either that, or they have pinned their hopes on fabregas. and that brings us back to the henry era. to say, arsenal never successfully came out of the over-reliance-on-1-man syndrome. -

olympic singles OUT ; Friday, August 22, 2008 22:44
i watched the 4th instalment of american pie today. the band camp. i think it's the most meaningful out of all 5 instalments. at least there's some value in it.
i realised i'm saying this quite often; i've effectively spent another day without touching my books. like, i really don't understand myself.
why do i lack this disipline in myself? is there really no importance in this main examinations? or am i just over confident and break down when it all crumples.
tomorrow shall be mass wireless. i must get everything in my head to makeup for the loss today. sunday morning would be netinfra, following will be mobcomp till the paper on tuesday.
can't wait to strike out the papers 1by1 when they're over, provided that i'm confident i'll do well! (:
- olympics women's table tennis (single).
semi-final results: zhang yining beat li jiawei 4-1, wang nan beat guo wei 4-2.
bronze medal results: guo wei beat li jiawei 4-1 to win the bronze medal.
final results: zhang yining beat wang nan 4-1 to win the women's single gold. -

forgotten memory ; Thursday, August 21, 2008 22:28
i realised i've been missing A LOT of my dates recently. and i'm very reliant on my handphone's calendar for remembering important events. so if i've misplaced my phone, i'll probably lose touch of many things.
for example, i forgot shiyuan's birthday was 2 days ago. and i keep thinking my laptop's 1 year anniversary is in august when the dates point to 21oct07. i can't even remember when i bought it!
- went with qiming to the gym today. gerald couldn't make it. going to the gym at 11am is good! there's less than 10 people hogging the machines and weights!
lunched and lan-ed. not that i really wanted like in the past, but there was nothing else to do. gerald came down from ngeeannpoly, and we met at my house. watched youtube for half an hour.
went back to amkcentral to meet shiyuan. ate again. qiming went off, gerald accompanied me to shiyuan's house to take the volleyball and it's home!
meeting qiming to run tomorrow. i'm curious to know how long i'll last.
anyway, i've effectively not touched my books today. going off after this entry to really study netinfra. wireless starts tomorrow. -
after 2 days, i relished the true meaning of the word, "anyway". thus, i came up with my defination of it.
defination: anyway is the term used to revert back to the original topic after much digression.
and seriously, i realised i constantly use that word. (:

spooks! ; Tuesday, August 19, 2008 23:59
i swear being home alone is spooky. or rather, i think i watch too much horror films and i'm just scaring myself. for example, you hear the door creaking when you've closed all the windows and are at your door preparing to leave the house.
anyway, i watched beta house this morning. i was supposed to go to the gym but the sky was kept giving me the impression that it was going to rain. i eventually left while it was drizzling.
i love going to the gym on weekday mornings. it's empty to the extent you have the freedom of choosing what you want to do! going again on thursday with gerald and qiming.
met shaowei, khairul, weiliang, xianlong and terence to study after that. spent an hour talking about class chalet and idling before deciding to move to heartland mall for serious study. spent $20 on food. omg.
i had a 130 minute discussion with an offline person and still, nothing was finalised. but it wasn't anyone's fault, really.
PEOPLE OUT THERE, IF YOU THINK IT'S EASY, TRY TAKING UP MY JOB. IF NOT, DON'T IDLE AND ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE. IT'S NOT AS IF I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH THINGS ON MY MIND.
okayy, maybe there was a conclusion. i found myself a twin with days and years different. HAHA. (:

olympics silver! (: ; Monday, August 18, 2008 10:56
singapore won their first silver medal in the olympics in 48 years! congratulations to the women table tennis team!
results can be viewed here.
epl officially started on saturday. all wins for the big 4 other than manu. seriously speaking, if arsene wenger doesn't buy anyone to improve the midfield, i really think a top 3 finish is impossible.
anyway, i've already slacked off my weekends. supposed to start studying mobcomp today! HAHA.
+++
end of 2.1 ; Saturday, August 16, 2008 15:47
2.1 has finally came to a close. i must really thank my group mates terence and xianlong for helping me through all the projects we did together. (:
this semester was almost pure coding. i learnt how to use asp, jsp and mobile computing language. advance mobcomp next semester!
so it's one week of study break, then the 3 main examination papers that i MUST pass. i'll leave ewebapp up to the lecturer's kindness to pass me. and i really need a miracle to get an a for fom.
as for cheerleading during the holidays, i guess i'll try to tell my employees that i only can work till 5pm. otherwise, things are gonna get quite hard.
for now, i've already slacked off half my saturday. revision shall start tomorrow!

phrase 1 ; Tuesday, August 12, 2008 19:08
experimental phrase one
i must stop using vulgarities in my everyday sentence. and after that, i will revert into an english speaking/ writing person, cutting down on unnecessary chinese and dialects.
it looks quite impossible, so i'll start with the first sentence! (:
- PLEASE stop saying "you" or "people". if you want to throw daggers at someone, do it direct. otherwise, you're too much a coward to call other people one.
seriously, all you do is think of YOUR OWN work and neglect the fact that different people have different commitments from YOU. get a life.
i don't say anyone else. but, I'M NOT LIKE YOU.
+++
done with projects! (: ; Monday, August 11, 2008 22:48
yay exams over! maybe not, but i'm finally done with ALL my projects. it's the same feeling actually. (:
missed cheer practise again. my throat isn't really in ideal condition. but terence is worse. those late nights spent doing projects are coming to haunt us back. so thanks and luckily to my late-night restriction.
next important events are: 15aug - ewebapp lab test (morning) 15aug - fom end semester test (evening)
followed by study week. then main exams. and it's the end of the semester!!

happy 43rd birthday singapore! ; Saturday, August 09, 2008 23:45
today is national day. happy 43rd birthday singapore!
i neither went to suntec city nor did i go to esplanade to catch the fireworks. i stayed home, only to get my view blocked by 2 flats. and for the first time that i can remember, it rained on national day during the parade.
some pictures i took with my brother's phone:
love's in the air!
i don't know what you call this
since that incident, i think i've generated a phobia of sleeping alone. whenever i feel uncomfortable, i feel that the events would happen again....till now.

1/4 projects down ; Thursday, August 07, 2008 23:39
i've effectively not gone for 2/3 of the cheer trainings this week. but i'm not prepared to defend myself in any way, because who bothers about the reasons? as long as i'm answerable to myself, and i know that i didn't intentionally miss training, i think it's enough.
aspnet came to a close today. we finished the project presentation, meaning there's no lessons for this module next week. i can't wait to finish ewebapp demo tomorrow. although i know i'm not ready yet, i know i'll feel better after 12noon tomorrow.
stayed back to do mobcomp just now. really disappointing to say, i hardly did anything. xianlong did all the work; the servlets. the first 2 or 3 mobcomp lessons i missed this term is really coming back at me now.
netinfra project part 3 is a goner. i know. that's why i've to study harder for my main exams!
took a cab back with terence because it was raining and i predicted that if we took bus, i'll be too tired to do ewebapp later. i felt guilty throughout the whole journey back because the driver was intending to head home (pasar ris) already.
shc2603l. i'll remember his license plate. (:

; Tuesday, August 05, 2008 23:46
i would really feel better after this week. aspnet ewebapp project would've been cleared. by monday, we'll be done with mobcomp also, meaning there's more time to study!
for the first time, i didn't feel that i'd fail after wireless quiz today. i somehow had the feeling that i would do better than my other quizes.
our aspnet free access lab has became a non-profit lan shop. and i just played dota for the first time in as many months. shall not elaborate.
maybe i SHOULD give up my wcg dream after all. why deprive others a chance when i've missed almost EVERY training?

national day dinner ; Sunday, August 03, 2008 23:52
i hereby declare that i've spent another weekend without touching my schoolwork at all. not to mention that i've aspnet and ewebapp project demo on thursday and friday respectively. there's wireless quiz on tuesday, and it's only 3 more weeks to the main exams.
i went to the gym today. the second time MYSELF. ngeeann exams start earlier, so gerald has to study. anyway, the gym had a revamp. they put a new machine for triceps and more benches. and today, there were more primary school kids. i wonder whether they were trying out for occupations at the gym because i couldn't make out what they were doing with the machines.
my dinner was at serangoon. my father's company had a national day dinner there. i went for the same one last year!
i realised that when you're in poly, there's no more festive mood in you. i was talking to my sister that when you're in secondary school, you look forward to days before public holidays as there are celebrations.
i remmeber during my foc, the gls told us. poly life is what you make it out to be. simply put, create activities if you want them.
i was going through this blog. and i came across many photos. in my mind, i've tried to give up. but by keeping you in my heart and memories forever, it seems half-hearted.

august ; Friday, August 01, 2008 20:36
it's august already. time really flies. three more weeks of school and it'll be exams. :(
i really thought of lodging a complain just now. i waited >21minutes for bus 132 at hougang interchange and ended up taking 165. but, isn't 1850 on a friday evening considered as peak hour?
my group's ewebapp project demo is next friday. fuck my group members. although i'm not much better, i ask and i UNDERSTAND. anyway, i'll take it as i'm getting more time to touch up and do better!
visited raihan after school today. his condition doesn't seem better. don't think of your studies anymore. your health is more important. as long as you're healthy, impossible is nothing.
today's the first day of the seventh month in the chinese calendar. and although i'm not superstitous, i still feel weird when i think of it. so it should be, no more late nights outside. i WILL be home before 12 everyday and sleep latest 1am. (:
why am i still harbouring thoughts even when i don't want to?
