Happy belated birthday Singapore!
I totally agree wif chow chng's comments...yesterday i suddenly felt a stinge of sadness n loneliness on my beloved country's 40 th birthday. it was worsened by the fact that i couldnt get to catch the live telecast of the NDP... some pple may say "wats so great abt the NDP? its the same old group of pple marching n performing!" wait till these pple go overseas either for attachments or studies, then they will tell u how dearly they miss Singapore n the NDP. the small gathering at the tavern in my uni DEFINITELY cannot be compared to the atmosphere which Singaporeans experienced during the parade or staying at home to watch it...in their minds, the displeasure abt Singapore is gone, wat is left is their wishes for prosperity n peace in Singapore...the idiom,"absence makes the heart grow fonder" is truely applicable in this instance.
I ran to the tavern, full of expectations n hope that i will be able to catch the live broadcast but i left the place after 20 minutes, absolutely disappointed. luckily, my national day nite was not completely spoilt by this event as i join my friends for a steamboat dinner. the food at the dinner wasnt that great, but this dinner provides mi an opportunity for mi to know more friends n her. yes, the sight of her really brightens up my day. her dimples n her ever smiling face really chases away the boredom n sadness in me. even though she's still recovering from her sore throat, she was able to mingle freely with the people at the dinner. thats really reflects her friendly personality.
But, i 'm now at a crossroad, unable to decide whether i'm treating her as a friend or a special one...am i having a crush on her or i'm in love with her? I also fear her rejection as this may imply that i will also lose her a friend. i need some advice... HELP!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!!

Yup,

Today's a very special day for all Singaporeans, it's Singapore's Birthday! She's 40 years old now, and still going as strong as ever. Too bad i'm not here at the moment to share the joyous ocassion with everyone of you.

Come to think of it, it's the first time ever that i'm out of the country on her birthday. Hmm.. Most pobably for the next 3 years too...Well, what i can say is, for some of you who are in Singapore now, you'll think National Day as nothing much other than a public holiday. There seems to be not much significance to it since it's being celebrated everywhere. I used to be like that too. But now, celebrating National Day while being out of the country takes a whole new meeaning altogether. You won't feel the ambience in other countries; You won't have a chance to see the celebrations; You won't have a chance to be proud that it's her fortieth birthday and it had been such a long journey she had taken from the past to the present. (Of course you won't experience the public holiday too, lol) All you can is sit back and watch in a foreign land as the nation celebrates her birthday.

Well, I used to take National Day for granted because year in, year out, we've been celebrating it. Now that i'm in a foreign land, i've definitely appreciate what Singapore has gone through to be what she symbolises today...

Cheerios and Cya

ps: It seems that i'm the only one posteing regularly here. CAN YOU ALL AT LEAST POST SOMETHING TO INDICATE YOU ALL ARE AROUND??? At least let me know what's happening and what's not. I'M BORED!!!

Writing this from Lucky Plaza Macs.....

Another boring little screwed up weekend again... Was supposed to go for my faculty camp this morning... but I woke up feeling super lethargic... No chance for a good sleep at all, my mind has been filled with what the potential outcome may be within the next few days. Excited and worried at the same time.

So of course, I pulled off the 'chao-keng' stunt once again, just called my GL to say that I was having a diarrhoea... Even mentioned about taking MC.. haha... Well, I did manage to pull it off though...

Couldn't get back to sleep after that, hence went with mum to visit granny. She has suffered and lost so much weight that it's literally skin and bones... It really hurts me to see her like this.

Gonna meet up with some frens for drinks and chit chat later... Rite now just people watching along Lucky Plaza macs... Saw couple of familiar faces, but just too lazy to acknowledge them... Feel kinda weird... logging on blogging from outside... But it's kinda fun though... The whole atmosphere is totally different...

Well time is hard to get by really... After such a long day.. it's barely 6pm. I wonder what's gonna be the outcome tomorrow. Whether will there be a call? If there is, what will the reply be? I just wonder... did I really make the right choice by making that confession and baring it all? Really hope to know the answer soon....

3 more days to National Day... 4 more days to Pulau Ubin camp and 16 more days to officially starting Uni.

In limbo.

Hurray! It's the end of the week!

Well, as you know it, it's the end of the week! I'm truly grateful for this 2 days of peace... Time freed up to do some catching up.

It has been a tough week for me i can say. The pace of work is really fast and i just managed to keep up with most of the modules without falling behind. ( I'm lucky as they're doing abit of revisions too) But sad to say, one of the modules i totally couldn't keep up is 'Mechanics'. It's making me befuddled and i could understand only around 50% of what the Professor is saying. It's really not difficult at all if you had done the basic 'Mechanics', but i didn't. Instead, all July intake students are plunged into two modules of 'Mechanics' Yup, the basic and the advanced ones. Hopefull as time goes by, i'll gradually understand it, for this is only the second week of studies.

" I shall perservere! "

Anyway, referring to Rj, you said your course has only some women inside, well, guess how many does mine have??? Haha, for your info, the July intake, my faculty (School of mechanical and manufacturing engineering) has only 30 plus students. You can count on one hand how many girls are there... lol... But elsewhere, it's totally different story. (Maybe i should have enrolled in other subjects instead??) So be grateful with what was given to you, haha.

School's starting soon for those that have not started yet... My advice ' Better start going through what you have learnt or look up for materials relevant to the course you're doing. It never hurts and in fact, might prove beneficial in the long term'

That's all for now

Cheerios and see'ya

(I'm using see'ya alot, kinda influenced by the way they talk.. hehe)

Hello guys.... I've read all your lamentations and the hardship u all are gg thru... Let me assure u that my engineering course is just as taxing. But its not that bad, still manageble for now. Prob those who never take econs at A levels will suffer la, cos they cover costs of production in one lecture(that was only the second lecture) and also elasticity of demand... So those who never take econs b4 have to work double double hard la... But because i didnt take chemistry last time, i am also disadvantaged cause life sciences and material science module also need organic chemistry and some good chemistry backgrd.

A look at my modules this semester: FE1006 mathematics 1
FE1004 Life Sciences
FE1001 Physics 1
FE1005 Material Science
HE191 Principle of Economics
FE1072 Lab 1b


Ok, studies aside. The gers in NTU are not bad, they dress quite well. its especially so as i have observed when sitting at the canteen B to have lunch. the bloody queues are damn long during peak hrs... But then again, wat course am i doing? ENGINEERING!!! where maybe only10% of the gers from the cohort wear skirts. The rest are probably not local or just wear t-shirt and pants. Ok, i sound superficial here, but thats just my observation. The business girls tend to dress better and put on some make up... An interesting observation that Eugene made, the aura of engine students and business students. While walking down the aisles of Ntu, students who are chatty and happy while walking seem to be from ??? while those carrying their big bags or files with their notes and looking tired and gloomy are from??? I leave it up to u to decide which students from which course will fit the above descriptions.... Here's a clue, the latter type of students are doing a 4yr course. One yr longer than their fellow students from other faculties. And eventually, will their salaries be higher??? That has yet to be seen...

Anyway, to ZC:If u cant come back, then maybe we go over to visit u??? but maybe it will be nice if u could sponsor us? i dun ask for much, maybe airfare will do la... hahaha. anyway, remember to study hard!!!
To all: ENDURE, ENDURE!!! Remember, u are not alone in this!!

IT IS TRULY CONFIRMED

I guess i won't be coming back in December or January or February after all... My summer classes end 1 week before semester 2 starts... How to come back Singapore? Come back as a tourist???

Anyway, i think i'll be coming back in june or july next year instead... But i'll definitely make it back by December next year, that's a definite answer.

(if i'm really coming back in june next year, i'm so looking forward to it... given a choice, i'll definitely come back june... reason? i wont say... figure out yourself...)

cheerios and cya

Last day of work for me tomorrow. I'm tired and burnt out already. Time to really take a break before school actually starts in 2 weeks tiime. Sigh... You guys won't be back till next year at least eh? Well, no choice... We shall only meet up then. Hmmm... Probably some where else rather than coffee bean la.. hahaha....


PS:
- Qirong... wah liao... ur font so big.. kiasu ah? hahaha....
- ZC... Haizz... Feb 2nd sem start liao... But can always meet in TOWN... I'll be there everyday!!
- RJ... Oi... we need some intellectual inspiration from u! Blog is getting too whiny! haha...

Your Birthdate: July 11

Your birth on the 11th day of the month makes you something of a dreamer and an idealist. You work well with people because you know how to use persuasion rather than force. There is a strong spiritual side to your nature, and you may have intuitive qualities inherent in your make up, too. You are very aware and sensitive, though often temperamental. Although you have a good mind and you are very analytical, you may not be comfortable in the business world. You are definitely creative and this influence tends to make you more of a dreamer than a doer.

realli? i'm not suited for the business world? then y am i doing a economics degree? haha...i'm also not creative

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

IT'S CONFIRMED
