Been busy busy recently.
I met up with many friends, had several expensive dinners and suffered from the lack of fibre in my diet.
I went to mambo twice, cooked fabulous meals twice/thrice. I went to the zoo too, got me excited for the first hour, and then it all went downhill. Animals just ain't that interesting, though the giraffes, big cats, loads of monkeys, goats, sea creatures and reptiles still caught my attention.
i proposed. with flowers, more flowers, and a Big CHART? lol, if thats what u call a large sheet of paper. Happy times.
And i went for FOC camp, which was quite tiring but fun still. I walked the beaches of sentosa like 4 times. From siloso to palawan and back and forth. Its the holidays and the beach was crowded. And a higher quantity provides a greater possibility of quality. i hope somebody doesn't smack me.
I'm done here. till next time. bye.

I'm back from the projects, the exams, and a glorious beach holiday at the bubu island resort, Pulau Perhentian island, Trenggaunu. I really loved the white sandy beaches and clear blue sea. Its a pity that with all that water none was palatable. Coming to that, I have come to really appreciate the water purification process in Singapore, you don't get many countries where you can drink water straight from the tap. Its really a chore to buy mineral water whenever one's thirsty. Before i go on a tirade on my vacation, I should start from where I boarded the bus.
I'm absolutely stupified by how long a vehicle can be stuck in a jam. With the unfortunate incident of the escape of a certain fellow, checks at the causeway checkpoint became far too stringent for anybody's liking. Nonetheless, the bus driver's patience was quite amazing. His irritatingly impressive english(he knew only 3 words, Toilet, Checkpoint, Passport), seeking to practice them whenever he had an opportunity to do so was not. Everytime we came to a tolilet stop. He would go "toilet, toilet toilet! Toilet Toilet Toilet!" So back to the infuriating jam that only served to increase a 12 hour bus journey to a 15 hour one, the five of us played asshole dai dee to pass the time. This game also became the game of the vacation given the lack of recreational facilities on an island. An idyllic lifestyle may be appealing, but too much of a good thing is just bad. The bus ride after the checkpoint was fitful, but travelling at night did help beat the time as sleep came much easier.
We arrived at the island around noon. A refreshing drink of banana juice. A greeting by the friendly people at the resort definitely help to make us feel welcomed. My first observation was that the island's tourist population were largely caucasians, and they really did love the Sun. The beach were sprawled with them and it was quite a "sight". Meanwhile, as we waited to check into our rooms, Mark the diveshop guy came to talk to us about our dive. He was from London and had blond dreadlocks(interesting hair). They had a dive to a shipwreck at 1pm, but it was too rushed. So we had to settle with a dive at 3pm instead. We were starving by then, so we had our lunch at bubu resort restaurant. The prices were definitely similar to Singapore. The food and the presentation of it was excellent though, so it was definitely you pay for what you get.
3pm came and we went for our dive. The vis wasn't too good that day and we didn't really see very much. Julio became my dive buddy because I was the odd one out in the group, casey, seb, ivan and kenneth never forgetting to remind me. (But thanks to me we got the family room at the resort which was huge. Something like a suite. You're welcome guys.) Julio's from argentina and really loved nudibranch varicosas(little sea slugs) that were really colourful. He was our divemaster for the next 3 dives, and kept pointing out those nudibranches. The signal for it underwater's really cool too, reminiscent of what rockers like to do pointing our their index and pinky except that you had to wriggle it to signify a nudibranch. Moving on from the sea slugs. We had to consume our dinner at the bubu restaurant again a thunderstorm brewed in the horizon. It was our intention to go to the other island resort to have our dinner, but the rain detered us and we had an expensive dinner again.
The following day we were scheduled to have 3 dives. Reminder of my sad ndu life. Fortunately the water's much better and the view underwater nothing short of breathtaking. There's a reason why I'm paid to dive in NDU and why I have to pay to dive here. Our second dive of the day was the best. It was around a pinnacle that stood out 1m above the sea. Known as the Temple of the Sea, or Tokong Lauit, the schools of fishes were very pretty. Each school had like 300 to 400 fishes. An amazing sight, I tried to touch them, but they kept darting away. We saw pufferfish, bamboo sharks and a mirade of other sea animals and corals. A leaking mask was a perennial irritation but the dive was still great nonetheless. Julio was again at his best, the argentinean divemaster spotting nudibranches at an impressive rate.
We had our dinner that day, at the other island resort. The prices were 3 times lower compared to the bubu island restaurant, they also took 3 times as long. I waited for 1 hour for my drink and 2 hours for my dinner. The restaurant was packed though, so my dinner took quite a while to be prepared. The beef nachos I had was quite good, but i've come to a conclusion that a steak is definitely much better compared to minced beef. Football was next up on the agenda, with most of the diners glued to the screen. We watched man u win the premiership, much to my dismay. They did deserve it though given the brand of attacking football they had played this season and with a certain winger called ronaldo scoring 31 goals in the league.
12 beers were shared among the 5 of us and marvin, one of the resort workers from KL who was doing an internship with the bubu island resort. Haha, I wished I had this sorta internship though I don't think i can survive without technology for longer then a week. We played drinking games and had a racket of a time. At 18, Marvin didn't really hold his beer well, he got quite tipsy and casey and seb had to help him back to his room.
Monday was a horrible day. It was nua all the way because we were forced to checkout at 10am in the morning. Our bus back to Singapore was scheduled at 9pm that night. We passed the time playing more dai dee and talking nonsense. We saw goats, roosters and buffalos walking around the little town in trenggaunu. We also saw farmlands on our way back. There was even a goat family at the bus terminal. The little calves following their mother, that was quite a sight. Well, I'm done with this post. I doubt you wanna hear about my ride home. That took another 12 hours.
FOC and Rag's coming soon. Gonna be really busy then. For now, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy my long awaited holiday. Tata.

When the one thing you’re looking for
Is nowhere to be found
And you back stepping all of your moves
Trying to figure it out
You wanna reach out
You wanna give in
Your head’s wrapped around what’s around the next bend
You wish you could find something warm'
Cause you’re shivering cold
It’s the first thing you see as you open your eyes
The last thing you say as your saying goodbye
Something inside you is crying and driving you on
It’s the first thing you see as you open your eyes
The last thing you say as your saying goodbye
Something inside you is crying and driving you on
'Cause if you hadn't found me
I would have found you
I would have found you
So long you’ve been running in circles'
Round what’s at stake
But now the times come for your feet to stand still in one place
You wanna reach out
You wanna give in
Your head’s wrapped around what’s around the next bend
You wish you could find something warm
'Cause you’re shivering cold
It’s the first thing you see as you open your eyes
The last thing you say as your saying goodbye
Something inside you is crying and driving you on
It’s the first thing you see as you open your eyes
The last thing you say as your saying goodbye
Something inside you is crying and driving you on
'Cause if you hadn't found me
I would have found you
I would have found you
It was your first taste of love
Living upon what you had
It’s the first thing you see when you open your eyes
The last thing you say as your saying goodbye
Something inside you is crying and driving you on
'Cause if you hadn't found me
I would have found you
I would have found you
I would have found you
I would have found you
I watched this awesome heartwarming movie(August Rush) at the FOC meeting on thurs. Lovely pleasant music. It made me think about how desensitised we are to its presence, how we actually take it for granted. We're subjected to it everyday, everywhere we go, from MP3 players to the streets we roam. Sometimes the quality of it is questionable but whatever it is, I'm thankful and appreciative of the fact that I have a marvellous pair of ears to take them all in. after reading this, take some time off and really enjoy the next song you listen to.
FNA presentation drives me nuts...

I am going nuts. ramble bamble.. So many deadlines to meet, so little time to waste, ok, bye! this is now becoming complain.blogspot.com
do u know what happens when u try to stay motionless on a hard bed for an hour?
you get pins and needles on ur butt.
what have i gotten myself into, sleep study my ass, more like motion study, except they want a stationary subject...
Attended an investment banking talk organised by the NUS economics society. Its ironic how, the speaker said that an econs undergraduate's chances of getting an IB career is remarkably low.
i've given my all and am empty inside

I wanna strangle all the liverpool players who were on the pitch... How the hell can liverpool succeed in getting kicked out of the FA cup by a 14th place club in the championship league. Barnsley.... what an absolute disgrace.
im just glad somebody saved me from the misery of watching that match. =)
Been a little busy with sch activities recently, i doubt im gonna be blogging much, I'll be back as soon as I'm bored. Right now, i'm just tired. I had a really great week though. Lots of surprises! i have many stories to tell, but not right now. Hopefully when I'm finally bored, i'll be able to recall and tell them. The bed beckons. Good night.

I realise i have this affinity with changi airport. When driving, I'll make a wrong turn or the lack of one. Either that or I'll hop on the wrong bus and end up being bundled there. Perhaps, its somebody who enjoys giving me the wrong directions...
Well the only good I got out of this is that I now know where to board the MRT at the airport. Did you know the MRT is called the "CITY Train" at the airport. I bet you didn't. Terminals 2 and 3 are directly connected to it. However, the intellectual me has a lousy gut. I went with my guts cos i didn't know which terminal was linked to the train station. In the end, I had to take a sky train back to terminal 2. A journey home that was supposed to last an hour, doubled. At least I made full use of my mag.
I went to bling on saturday. It was kinda dull, so we kinda acted out a play.
The purse chronicles: staring mat, eugene and shen
all the other nonsense we got up to

The Stars of the show
The purse is MINE!
Mat tries to steal it from me using physical violence. Sobs..
we tussled for it with all our might
shen managed to nudge mat away and take the bling purse from us
She then tries to hit me with it
Mat was so sad she couldn't get the purse, she decided to drown her sorrows
I decided that fruits were a much healthier alternative and i got happy. look at my wonderful smile
Fruits can't satisfy the carnivore in me so i decided to eat my tie as well
ok here's the rest of the pple who were there...
Liverpudlians! My fellow reds. You'll never walk alone. =)
Everyone!
The Men
3 guys and an extra
all the other nonsense we got up to
Ok... thats all for now. I realised i haven't blogged any posts with photos for a very long time. Till then. Tata.
Waiting always...

Nua day has been really fruitful. I have effectively managed to scrunched my timetable into a 4 day school week. I feel totally useless staying at home, aimlessly surfing the net, msning and watching tvs and movies. Not that I'm complaining about this lifestyle. I'm probably going to miss the 22nd of february alot when all the school work and activities kick in.
Everybody's getting sick recently. Stomach flu, flu, sore throat, puffy face and what have you. If you're one of the afflicted ones, get well soon. If you're fine, stay that way.
I cooked up an awesome brew of porridge. I might be bias. But i'm sure my sis will agree with me. Yes? haha. You better read this and give me a positive comment.
Ruffles are meant to be eaten with sour cream. Its the very reason why they have a bowl of sour cream on the packaging. When the chips are dipped with the cream, it creates an awesome combination of texture and taste. The sour cream adds volume(and of course sourness) to a chip that is otherwise simply salty and ridged.
NUS lecturers are a horrid bunch. They keep changing our textbooks. So now all our money is being thrown down the drain. I hate them. Its like all these assets are being frozen of. Their value depreciating, while inflation is ongoing.

How Six Songs Collide
This is a brilliant mashup of six songs by Norwegian Recycling.
The mashup contains samples from:
1. Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
2. Howie Day - Collide
3. Five For Fighting - Superman
4. Angela Ammons - Always Getting Over You
5. Boyzone - All That I Need
6. 3 Doors Down - Here Without You
I'm absolutely amazed how the artiste managed to harmonise the six songs together to form this fantastic chemistry of melody.

SCHOOL
Yr 1 sem 2 has finally started. School is just awful, I got bored after sitting in the lects for less then 5 mins. The lectures flew by and i must have been in lala land for 3 hours today. Prof voices droning in the background, my mind drifting like a leaf in a breeze. Floating and sinking. Oh well first lectures are often useless. Been shopping mad recently. Money come back to me.
Liverpool drew their forth consecutive premier league match. Boy are we sliding down the table. You'll never walk alone. Liv a pu forever.
Need to turn in early today. so good night. I'll write more next time. Finishing the kite runner. Its quite an awesome book. I hate packing rooms. I wished somebody would just do me a favour.

Night cycling 2 days ago with trogun was fun, but it was packaged together with a sore butt and extreme exhaustion. My butt still hurts when I sit down. Our night cycling route brought us to bedok 85 to eat bak chor mee. I bargained with the sugar cane aunty and she gave me a 60 cents discount for 8 glasses of sugar cane. haha, I'm an auntie killer.
We went to dex's house to play mahjong for a bit cos we were kinda full after all that food. I ought to quit playing mahjong, my record hasn't been the best recently. Next was the long ride to geylang, we finally settled ourselves at yung he you tiao dou hwa stall. Had quite a meal. Visited brent's house lobby next. Its kinda like a hotel, except there wasn't aircon. Cable tv entertainment was provided, but exhaustion crept in and most of us went to sleep.
Chairs are definitely not meant for sleeping, no matter how u arrange them. I tried to put 3 chairs tgt and squeezed myself thru the handles for a flat sleeping position, but there was no headrest, and it gave me a woozy head when i sat up. Only zj managed to slp, but then he sleeps everywhere.
There was to be no sunrise at east coast park, the whole sky just became brighter at 7. It was a disappointing moment, the clouds being the culprits of the day. We nuaed for 2 long hours, before the bicycle shop opened. We didn't have breakfast, but the mosquitoes had a great one. They had a buffet of blood. I was the only insect attractor among my friends, and i got bitten like 6 times, killing 4 along the way.
Dex being a good boss got the car to send us to the mrt. The ride back was superdupalupa tiring, mat, zj and me were stoning while standing for half the trip, we only managed to find support for our tired butts at tanjong pagar. Trains really suck, i want my own car.
Bidded for changing landscape when I got home, threw in almost all my points. I hope its a wise decision that I wouldn't end up regretting. I'm halfway thru the last week of the hols for sem 1. The holidays have really flew past in a blink, I still haven't packed my room despite wanting to do so since the 26th of dec. Someone give me a kick up my ass to get me moving.
IVLE now has all my core modules up - more printing of notes, announcements and emails. I am dreading the start of school.
IVLE = EVIL, go figure.
How do i move forward?

I've discovered a penchant for sleeping at chalets. Especially the beds at the NSRCC, I've been there twice in recent weeks and I spent an enormously large proportion of my time there lazing in them. It isn't the boredom, its the ambience of the room and the extremely plushy bed.
Seb's birthday celebration wasn't much. The usual guys went to stay over and we had a heck of a time doing nonsense stuff. We crapped, yelled, and howlered our presence. The only notable thing i remembered from yesterday night was that i ended up in sebby's car boot when we went for dinner. It wasn't a favourable spot but for the greater good, I sacrificed myself. Anyway, my ability to fall asleep in unfavourable conditions, enabled me to enjoy the ride. The humps gave me jolts that i didn't really appreciate though.
Caught up with my jc classmates 2 days ago. We had dinner at ding tai fung. I received a bag, and haha, a pair of branded underwear. Expensive underpants. I'll probably have to let the whole world know I'm wearing it when I do. Otherwise whats the point?
The holidays are flying by really quick.

I'm caught between 2 minds whether to feel satisfied and relieved with my results or to be pissed with myself for the amount of careless mistakes that I shouldn't have made. 4.1 should be simply satisfactory considering the fact that I knew most of my stuff. Especially MS, they should seriously consider letting us SU core subjects. B-. Now that drags everything down.
Oh well ur only as good as the next step you can take. So I'll just have to look forward instead back, can't retrace my steps even if I want to.
Investing is an art I am keen to get into, but it seems that with the market being so weak right now, I should just concentrate on building my knowledge about that, and hopefully when the time's right, I can finally start and build a habit of making my money grow instead of simply dissipating into the wilderness of the greater economy.
Time for bed...

caught between rocks and hard places
should I or shouldn't I?
I watched the simpsons movie and there was this really funny scene with homer caught on a bulldozer ball and swinging between a rock and a diner called " a hard place".

Happy Holidays
The holidays has been a crazy, tiring and nonetheless fun affair. I watched enchanted with shen on monday. That was after travelling all the way to the ICA to make myself a new passport (i had a retarded incident regarding that too but i'll leave that for later.) Enchanted was hilarious, and the ending's a little different from your typical fairytale although it was still a happy one. Anyway, shen must be enjoying herself in hk, so I've one less person to hang out with this week.
Tuesday, i attended MCR's concert. Thankfully Mr Tsin with his huge network of friends managed to get a queue jumper and we could stand near the stage and be nearer the band. I didn't really enjoy the concert considering all that squashing I was subjected to and Mr Tsin who was shaking his head and subjecting me to some hair in my mouth. It was a kiddy concert seriously, and I felt old being there, lots of secondary school kids with their ah beng tshirts and punk attitude. The band wasn't that bad, but in my opinion gerard grey's just too fat and gay in his tight shirt and jeans which were threatening to split any moment. Regrets: 95 bucks which i can never get back, getting squashed by children half my age but twice my size. Glad: The songs weren't too bad.
LIVERPOOL won MARSEILLE 4-0. Absolutely wonderful performance from the whole team, and Liverpool once again defied the odds to qualify for the next round. Simply fantabulous, the very reason why i love them to bits.
Wednesday, was a blissful day, I filled myself with so much dim sum during an afternoon buffet, it became something like 3 meals at a go. Hao gave us a birthday treat at YUM CHA. Ok, special thanks to him since its really unlike him to give treats. The buffet wasn't cheap too at 20++. The shirmps and scallops were on free flow, and our typical kiasu spirit was evident from the start, we devoured the baskets of dimsum with such fervour, we weren't really talking for the first ten mins. Oh it was 5 of us, sy, dave, hao, keith and me. We could hardly walk after the buffet, but we decided to make a trip down to clark quay and get a reservation for the big match on sun. Liverpool vs Manchester Utd. Its gonna be a nailbiting clash that I'll have to sit through. A match, which I can't bear to watch and yet need to.
Thursday was the first sunny day of the week, I got Mat to wake up at very very early hour to tan ourselves. The warren golf and country club is a really peaceful and quiet resort to relax for a day. The sun was shining and I think we overdid it a little with all that Sun. So now we're as red as roasted pigs. Its Christmas though, so nothing wrong with being a little radiant and festive to raise the spirits. haha. Had a dinner with the NDU guys in the evening at NYDC, first time I ever went to NYDC in the 21 years of my life, was great catching up, most of them are at NTU so I hardly get to chat with them. Caught hitman which was an action packed movie, and i really can't be bothered to describe it. 5 of us hung around till late. We went bowling at ECP, I struck a turkey haha, unbelievable and got 150 points! Then it was supper before tsin and me went to seb's house and had a boy's night out, slumber party style. That sounds gay, ok we just played x box and some mahjong and texas hold em, got too tired and fell asleep in seb's bed, which was humongous. Cos the 3 of us managed to sleep in it, and when tsin is one of them you can just imagine how big it is. His blanket was huge too. How can someone so small have such a large bed, like my bed is 1/3 the size of his.
Friday, I wanted to go to ICA to collect my passport. To my dismay, I went into the building got myself a queue number and sat there for 20 mins, then I realised I forgot to bring my old singapore passport. I was so fucking pissed with myself, i wanted to be mad! Oh well i didn't really have any choice but to make my way home. Slept away 3 hours, before I went to zouk for a ad hoc job. The pay was good at 10 bucks an hour. I didn't do much for the first 2 hours except to move some stuff. My job was to be a casino banker at dice. you know like "big or small". I was yelling throughout the hour I was working, and its quite amazing how people can get so excited over gambling. Some guy managed to showhand his way to an amazing 200 chips from a start of 5. I wonder what kinda luck he had on his side. The boss for the event management company didn't want to pay us ot. But asked us to have food and drinks on the house. So gee, wei lun and me had a crazy time eating non-stop and drinking alcohol and coke. It was worth it in the end. In fact, I also got a chop on my hand for zouk so technically, i have free entry now. But clubbing's not fun alone so I'm back home typing this entry.
Ok, thats all for this week need to spend more time with my bed. I miss you.
