Tomorrow's the start of my third week in university. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by the amount of studying I've yet to do. 5 Modules, 5 text books, 4 tutorials and a lot of reading and writing to do. My hand feels numb from the incessant scribbling I've forced myself into to finish my tutorials. I can feel the exfoliation of rust from my brain only to find an empty hollow inside. Can somebody please provide me with some kind of impetus and the know how to do my homework. Everything seems so open ended. Eugene is definitely lost in darkness struggling to find some stranglehold of knowledge to not sound so crappy and nonsensical in his work.
Saturday was spent in bed. A little studying here and there. An awesome birthday party at Andrew's 21st. The food was the best I've had at any birthday party all of this year. There was Crayfish, Beef, Salmon and lots of chocolate delights! You would imagine it to be some posh restaurant with excellent service. Well, it was at Castle Green's function room, just a normal condominium in Yio Chu Kang with a little castle-like architectural designs to boot.
Caught the 2nd half of Liverpool's match against Sunderland! Football shall be my salvation again for the weekend. My only source of entertainment over the weekend always has a ball involved. Yeah and Liverpool won, great start to the season, Long may it continue!
Sunday is soccer day again. Haha, played soccer in the morning. Spent the rest of the afternoon snuggled in bed waiting for the Sun to set. 6 Hours on a marketing tutorial is complete bullshit. Yours truly has the honour of holding that record.
Just finished watching Man United struggle to win Tottenham. Nani scored a peach of a goal. What the commentator said after he scored really tickled my funny bone.
"That was definitely not a Bread and Butter Goal, It was covered with Jam." Oh well, pulling it out of context makes it look lame. Hilarious moment I had then.
Ok goodbye. Got to get back to management science. Maybe it'll teach me how to manage my time better. Till next time(which could be quite a while). Good bye.

Pictures Galore
My sincere apologies for the long hiatus. Its been a really busy fortnight with all the school activities coming in a mindless barrage that must drive any sane being perpetually nuts.
Since my last post, A lot has happened. Just gonna give a brief summary in words, Getting a little rusty with my language.
With the attendance of the Freshmen Inauguration ceremony(FIC) at NUS, I am now officially a member of the NUS student body. Yay! haha. The professors at the ceremony looked really impressive and intelligent with their round brimmed hat and robes. Kinda felt like I was in a costume party. Took a lot of pictures with my regular cam-whoring classmates and made my og mates wait for half an hour. Jasmine Tye took a photo with Me! haha. Had a nice dinner at munchies monkeys with Xin ling, Mish and Reh. When I told them i was going on a diet, they were dumbfounded. Whats wrong? Can't a guy go on one. Getting visible fat everywhere already.
Rag Day, The big moment for all the raggers who slogged their hearts out for this momentous event. Especially because we had a reputation to uphold and a Chancellor Shield to bring Home.
The presenters - Me included. haha We were sent to bed at 9pm. I volunteered to ensure that everyone went to bed. But oh oh, I ended up talking to Xin ling, Alan and Xing Yan for the better of 2 hours. In the end we only had a really short nap of 15min. Next, all of us had to put on makeup. All includes guys. Foundation, concealer, eyeliner, eyeshadow, glitter. Hmm, the things girls do to make themselves pretty. Oh well, at least now i understand why they can take so long to prepare for a trip out of the house. We got to the padang at 5am. Spent most of the time sleeping there. In the horrible weather. Was sweating like a pig. Thankfully, my costume was of really thin fabric and I had tights. Haha. Ok, i think the photos below will do more justice to the whole event. Enjoy. =)
EPL started at midnight after the whole Rag day event. Liverpool was on at midnight. For the first time in four seasons. We managed to win our the first match on our calender for the season. Gerrard with the sweetest of a right foot made a goal out of nothing. An extraordinary freekick from an extraordinary captain. Once again, Liverpool's captain fantastic grabbed the game by the scruff of its neck and produced a victory from a drab draw. Aston Villa 1-2 Liverpool. Yippee.
Sunday - Playing my favourite sport just makes sunday a happy day. Footy all the way
School officially started Monday. 13/08/2007 Guess what, First day of school and I'm late for my very first lesson. Well, we only had one lecture. So after that we were all off to vivo for an adventure. Lunch was at a Ko Lo Mee restaurant. We had a Photowhoring sessions with Trogun there too. Talk about poseurs. Met up with Xin ling, Mish, Reh and Wan Ling at Sushi Teh. Had a long long chat, before we decided to move our asses. Had dinner at Cedele bakery. Lots of delicious cakes and pies. Finally went home at 9pm. I love Mondays, especially when they're so easy.
Watched secret on Wednesday with my classmates. It got kinda creepy in the middle and I tot it was going to be a horror movie. Thank goodness, it wasn't so. Turned out to be quite a romantic one in the end. Heard Jay Chou wrote the script. I'm amazed by the depth of it. Managed to catch the last bus home. Loving my bus concession pass.
Finally, the end of my summary. Jam and Hop. This is just crazy. I wanted to write a summary, somehow, i ended up with a super long post again. I haven't even posted my pictures yet. Before jam and hop, I went for Brazilian Capoeira Appreciation class. Its ultra funky. I'm super crazy about it. Imagine learning all those gravity defying stunts, combining them with music, nimble footwork and some awesome kicks. Simply beautiful. Managed to cab down in time for the Voting at jam and hop. Had a short old chang kee dinner with jia li. Before we took the cab. At least the entry to zouk was only 15 bucks. So it wasn't that bad. Klar and Jian Wei got thru to the final round. Congratulations. We cam whored again at Zouk. Now thats something not a lot of pple have a chance to do. Alright alright. I'm done with all this typing. Drowning away in a sea of words already. I doubt anybody's reading all my nonsense and rambling anyway.
Ta da da da..... Now for the much anticipated photos. *drum roll

Next up, Nussu Flag day. Pink was the theme and money was the dream. Business won Flag. With the most amount of money collected per capita. We were kinda flag crazy. Left school at 6am in the morning for AMK, had Gong lei, Ying Ying and Jia Li in my group. We started flagging at 7am after a breakfast of bak chor mee. Flagging from dawn till dusk. I managed to fill 2 tin cans with donations. Not a bad return. Considering I took lots of breaks in between. We had dinner at Ding Tai Feng. A fair reward for a hard days work. I finally tried Xiao Long Bao that day. No longer a mountain tortoise as Xin Ling likes to call me. Haha.
Dean's Evening, more photos. It was held at the Civil Servant's club at Bukit Batok. Had a lot of fun there, even went up on stage for some limbo rock action. I always get saboed by Pao Pan. Rawr. We won the best og award or best house, I can't really remember which, only that I was once again sent to the stage to collect our og prize. DVD movies. Most of them were horror flicks. Yuck, I would never allow my brain to be polluted with such insomniac fear that takes my beauty sleep away. Had a nice supper with xin ling, mish, wan ling, hansel, vivien and her bro. Thanks to Vivien, I now know Bukit Gombak has such a nice prata store.

O week - The day 16 guys from 16 different ogs had to cross dress at sentosa. I was saboed by my dearest og. Victimised and helpless. I managed to convince myself to be a sport for the better of an hour. haha. A saturday that I shall never forget.
Sunday 5 August 2007
Time Management - TM1001
Its been an eventful week with so many activities going on. Rag, o week, bidding for modules, bazaar and most importantly, sulking at my horrendous 5 day time table.
Rag's moving at a snail's pace. The distinct lack of manpower is of great frustration to everybody involved. Hopefully we can finish the whole float in time for its unveiling on 11 aug at the padang. Our float looks really outstanding and the details are superbly intricate. I'm very impressed by the architectural skills of the rag com. Just can't imagine having to destroy the whole thing after the event. Thats just totally heart-wrenching. The rag dance is finally fully chreographed. Just needs a little refining and cleaning up and we're good for the display. Kudos to Anh for her creativity for the middle segment.
We had a meeting for our bazaar on weds. Discussed about certain pressing issues and the problems we faced. Marketing and finding sponsors for the event has been a big challenge that we hope we can overcome by next weekend. Haha, I have a professional post of operations manager. Now thats just super cool. Our bazaar's scheduled from 3 sep to 5 sep. So come down to Biz sch to support it yea. =)
O week started with a bang. Well, I Banged my head against the damn chair in the audi when I woke up on thurs morning. haha, very funny. Moving on, We had academic talks all day, the monotony of the lectures felt like the lullabies sung to me when I was a baby. So it wasn't long before i succumbed to the z monster. Orientation is probably the only time people would be willing to sit in a group of strangers and start having random conversations and more awkward silences. Thankfully ice breaking games save the day, though honestly im getting a little sick of them. Well, at least now I know more new friends. More people to wave to in school. lol. Went for the pageant interview at 3pm in my berms, t shirt and slippers. Haha, most underdressed by a mile, well i didn't want to get in in the first place. So it was like everyone else was wearing jeans, pants and a button-down shirt while Mr Eugene Chong looked like he was dressed for the market. Glad for the interview though, since it gave me a valid reason to escape the lecture theatre. Anyway, I didn't get through. Phew...
Well I know my vertical limits and recognise that I'm not really suited for this sort of thing. Oh and Mr ticky is the pang seh king. Haha you know what u did. When did Berms and slippers = Jeans and shoes?
Thursday was o week mass games. Its good to sleep in school. I can wake up 10 mins before a school event and still get there on time. Well, we planned to meet at 9am, and the activities start at 10am. So i woke up at 950am. I'm a fervent believer of punctuality, oops. Had a very shocking revelation dawn on me when I met my og for Mass games in the LT. I was the only guy in the whole Og that day. Like -_- And they wanted to have painted nails for og identity. Oh well, the peer pressure was too much to bear. So i had to surrender. Misc did a rather excellent job of painting my fingers as well. lol. Ran around the whole school and had a blast of a time. We had a shopping trip to giant in the afternoon to buy food for our bbq. I think the only thing on the menu was chicken. With all that hotdogs, chicken wings and chicken fillets I swear I had an entire chicken inside me by the end of the bbq. Went around with Alan and Zhen jie during the bbq to "talk" to pple. It was a very interesting experience. Got to know some of my future classmates in the process. Our Og had a very long and deep conversation about life, death, marriage and relationships. Gained alot of insight and wisdom from listening to all that stuff.
Saturday was sentosa! Basically the same usual beach games. The afternoon though was a totally different story. We had to cross-dress. Rawr. Had to wear like lotsa girly stuff, put on make up and strut around like some bimbo. Ooh, had to run around the beach with a poster "whistle if u think im hot!" Haha had a really wild time. I'll post the pictures when i get them. I promise ur gonna laugh at my expense.
After sentosa, met up with my regular rag khakis and classmates for dinner at marche. Had a crepe with ice cream. Woo hoo. Speaking of which I've been bingeing all week. Since last weekend. From Ben and Jerry's to bread, basically anything thats edible and within sight has ended in my tummy. I'm going on a diet this week. Haha, growing a belly alr. We got a little high later that night and simply started sitting down everywhere we went in vivo. Alan and Klar started it first to protest our lack of movement. After walking about ten steps we would all pause to chat about random stuff. Klar did some amazingly funny stuff. Haha, tsk tsk totally unglam. She can be a paparazzi reporter alr. lol. Anyway, we managed to catch the last train home. So my wallet's very grateful. Finally stepped into my home for the 2nd time this week.
Sunday is soccer day. Some much needed exercise. Think i lost my shooting left foot today. Kept having a tendency to use my right even when the angle was impossible. Still kinda pissed that I have exams on the 4th of dec. I wanna run the standard chartered marathon but its on the 2nd of dec.
Ok, gonna be gone for another week. Busy busy, maybe i need time management lessons. Once school starts this blog is probably gonna gather dust. Ok, till i get my pictures. I'm gonna enjoy my last busy week before the school term starts. Tata.
P.S. I realise i have a tendency to type really long posts. I enjoy doing it though. So don't kill me if i drown u in a sea of words.
