exams and thereafter

This sem seems to zoom pass just like that. Nobody like tests, I am not exception. Most people like what comes after the exams, the long school vacation. I don't........ fish lah, another 2 months worth of mental degeneration.

At least there is taiwan to look towards to. The thoughts of going there with 2 desperate just ord guys do make me shrudder at times but I guess they could have changed that much in 2 short years. Hoepfully.

Mr. Politically Correct

As the name suggest, he is always doing politically correct things. He think long and hard before he speaks. He prepares standard answers for frequently asked questions. All this just because he wants to be politically correct. He don't want to offend anyone so he gives noncommittal answers. Everytime there is a dispute, he will stay far away. If the crowd decide on one action, he will never go against them. To the extent that it appears to people that they have no mind of their own. In meeting, they are just parroting what others has mentioned. In a casual conversation, he will be paraphasing your sentenses. Don't you just hate this kind of people?


-------this has nothing to do with the title----------------
don't you just hate it when you are trying to concentrate and someone is trying to make himself deaf?

cmb concert

Cmb should hold all their concerts in MPSH. In fact, they should arrange the chairs and switch on the air con too. Anyway, the concert was quite enjoyable.

In another ~2 months time, the senior will be leaving. I wonder how the juniors will be. Will they be as %&%^$^#%* as my blk g***ls? Looking on the bright side, they will be almost twice as many freshie girls as freshie guys.

Catching up

I realized why Singapore is often described as a fast-pace society. Everything is moving so fast that almost everyone I know is doing catching up. Just walk down my corridor (blk c lvl 6 short wing) and you will understand. If you do that, don't be surprise that there is a guy that look like some famous male "video clip personality" staying next to me (KY is really not the guy in the video). I only missed 2 days worth of lessons and I feel like I am light years behind.

Anyway, there are a few photos I would have put it up if not for the bout of flu that kept me in bed for 2 whole days. I shall post it all up now.

Uni and Hall life can be so stressful that my neighbours resort to drinking beer (which they termed as "happy juice"). Bitching sessions are also more frequent nowadays as everyone get more and more fed up with life. Lounge is also quite happening nowadays as people gather there to destress by playing boggle (which i don't really know if it's destressing). Some people even avoid their room altogether. Sigh..... uni life sux

Jason sleeping in the lounge at 10pm.

Took these 2 photos at tt's birthday. So many people are putting on braces now and turning les (just joking). And what is GL (with that kind of expression) looking at? SL?

I also notice a trend after the tammy video. Everyone seems to be comfortable with more adult themed conversation. HY shoot R rated topics off his mouth like nobody's business. Cee Star even featured tammy albeit a disgusting one. NX said things like, "I like french kiss, it's so sweet."(althought I seriously quoted her out of context). ZH has his own definition of "happy juice". Conversations in the lounge start to revolve around M word more often.

I also had a wonderful birthday. Shan't eleborate.

Initially I thought I stopped at the wrong level when I saw my door(picture below). Anyway, thanks for all the "loves" on my door. On the side note, if you are trying to be anonymous, you can try to change your handwriting or try not to ask me "ur door very nice hor".

days of carrom gone.

Days where carrom is the daily entertainment are gone. Just when I thought there was a chance of hitting the carrom striker with my fingers and sending seeds into the pocket, the blk decided that majong is more more important and converted the one and only carrom board into a majong table. How sad........

cineleisure makeover

Secondary 2 is about 8 years ago. Visiting cine leisure again sure bring back memories. All the time I spent at arcades during holidays playing virtual striker 2, catching endless movies..... sigh those were the time. Although I kinda regret wasting time then and there, I can't think of a more constructive way to spend those time anyway. Anyway, I felt like a sua ku at cine today. I never knew there is level 9. Needless to say, I don't know about the new screens, the new ultra huge and modern looking lan arena and private game rooms(which double up as a study room). Sometimes I really wish i am in secondary 2 all over again.

To those who haven't watch the movie My Girl and I, you may want to reconsider? It's funny, but not as funny as crazy first love. It's touching but not as touching as my Sassy girl. The ending is non existence. However, the lead actress is ultra sweet and pretty. That alone may be a good enough reason to part with your $7/ $8.50.



Received another egg bin as a birthday present today, that makes me an owner of 2 egg bins. I wonder why. Do I look like an egg or they know I desperately need a bin to throw away all the rubbish that is piling up in my room?

Forever changing

Everything is changing (more like upgrading). Some foreign delegate once mentioned to me when I was esorting him back to Pan Pacific Hotel, "Singapore is forever building". Somehow, I didn't realise this until he mentioned it. I guess most Singaporeans are so used to seeing construction sites poping up one after another that we are immuned to them. Can we still visit places that we spent our best times 10 or 20 years down the road? I know I can't since VS has shifted to a nice new building. Even if buildings remain where they are, they are not the same old buildings that we are familar with. VJ has added a nice student lounge (with a pool table), renovated the forum, airconditioned the hall, changed the front gate, added funky and striking pictures in E block........ (never ending list). At this rate, it won't be long before odac room is "revamped". I wonder how it will look like then.

going to watch arsenal vs real madrid now. arsenal better not lose

Deserted

Amazine discovery at Bryant's birthday: One my my secondary school friend deserted when he is halfway through NS. I though such things will only happen in war-time movies or novels. Apparently, he applied an exit permit to malaysia and from there, took a plane to canada. If you are thinking that his family condone such act and he is happily living in canada with his relatives, you are wrong. The most shocking part of the story is that he is living in a refugee camp there. What on earth was he thinking then? Leave your family for a refugee life. Nevertheless, it's a sad thing since I guess I won't be seeing him again in my life.

Katong dinner

Hungry souls are advised not to continue reading this post.

It was like any other night without our dearest uncle Vincent.

around dinner time, hungry souls all over the block will start msning each other and to find company for dinner. Like any other night, we gathered at level 4 and set off without deciding where to eat.

As david drove out, we finally decided. Katong Laksa. After a long journey along ecp (and witnessing 2 traffic accident) we finally arrived at 328 katong laksa. It has been years since I last went there. How I miss s62 times. After eating the Singapore acclaimed Katong laksa, the guys decided to continue our eating frenzy with "5 stars Chicken Rice". It was only so-so but the bill came up to be not so so-so. I guess it will be my last time there (unless someone is treating me).

Anyway, as we were walking back to David's car, a Hagen Daz shop must be along the way. Unable to resist the temptations, most of us came out of the shop with ice cream in our hands. (TO all hagen daz card holders: your card may expired before you know it, as in the case of darius).

This is the first night that I am not having supper since the end of Chinese new year.

sEpaKkKKk

Had the most fun game of sepak since IHG. I think we finally stopped playing like amatures. Almost all of us can set, kill, pass, receive........ althought not 100% but we are slowly progressing towards it.

There is still soccer and hockey 2morrow. Despite my reluctance to play --I am too nua since MIDS -- i shall "show face" and most likely, enjoy the game as well. Hiakkzzz i am suppose to mug.

Mid term break.

I am bored....
So bored that i decided to take a picture through the blinds in my room.

Announcement in the IVLE

Saw this announcement in my IVLE. It's from my Heavenly Maths lecturer, who is a damn humorous guy.

Hi guys,

I just got the following letter from the FASS.

******

Dear A/P Aslaksen -
I have your students turning up at Dean's Office, requesting access to our roof top to take photographs during sunrise and sunset, and they claim it is a project for your class.
Due to security and safety concerns, our rooftop access for AS7 is restricted, I would also not encourage students to access rooftops of FASS buildings, as I believe OED would have some concerns about general safety and potential damage to waterproofing in these areas which are not meant for congregation.
I would appreciate your advising students of other methods to obtaining the necessary photographs for your project.

In the meantime, I will decline their requests to access the rooftop.

Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards

*******

I definitely want to encouarge and reward creativity and imagination in the homework. However, you need to show common sense, courtesy, safety and follow rules.

You also have to remember that if you ask a bureacrat a yes/no question, the answer is always "NO"!

The story I told about a group of students last year who were approached by the police was just because my students had found a very unusal place. The police did not chase them away.

So by all means find great places to take the pictures, but don't get yourself into trouble. Please try to stay out of trouble and don't bother the bureaucrats too much.

OK?

Jian hong's21st birthdays

Heavenly mathematics

does it remind you of primary school? Yes, I am really an Uni student.

Movies to watch

Fearless - I love Jet Li movies (minus his hollywood outings),

Annapolis - 50 000 applied, only 1200 accepted (and I know one of the 1200),

X-men 3 - The phenoix is coming

CNY is coming

Chinese New Year is coming. Like always, I am not exactly looking forward to it. Isn't it just like any other day with the exception money changing hands, either through hongbaos or gambling. Like every other year, I don't think I will get much Hong bao money. My relatives arn't exactly close and everyone will be stoning away. Worse still, I don't have many cousins around my age. The one that is closest to my age is already a father of a two years old son. Furthermore, I am from the navy. This eliminates the possibilities of a having a conversation based on how sad, pathetic, abused..... we were during NS. None of them is doing an undergrad course now which further preclude topics that is closest to me now.

Seeing relatives once a year can also be a chore. I have to memorise all their "titles" all over again. Why can't everyone be called "Aunty" or "Uncle", we are in Singapore arn't we? "Relatives" also like to ask questions that you have no answers. Seeing that my cousin who is one year older than me having a son, I forsee that they will ask me when is my turn despite the fact that I am only 20 (not even 21). They may also ask question like, "How are you doing in school?" ...., which can actually be quite hard to answer I guess I will have to prepare some answers that will affect them so much that they won't bother to ask me anymore questions.

How I wish I could go overseas during CNY? Sigh..........

I am stuck in SG with tonnes of assignments.

Extra Ordinary General Meeting -- EOGM

"EOGM! COME EOGM!"

That's what I am hearing from where I am sitting now. All the block comm members are desperately finding people to meet the quota. Here I am, typing away in front of the computer while more than half the hall are stuck in the Hall listening to issues that they don't even care. Some of them are there just for the sake of being there so that the meeting can proceed. I was once like them. Then, I was naive and had nothing on hand to do. The idea of sitting down on a chair in an air con environment talking cock seem rather entice then. Now, I have 4 tutorials and 3 assignment due this week, one meeting to attend in 1 hr time and the sepak takraw waiting for me after the meeting. How can they blame me for not attending EOGM.

This very EOGM(can't they think of an acronym that can be pronounced), is going to discuss about a system about shearites changing block and elect new members for the Point Award Board. Am I going to change Block? No. Do I have enough points to stay? Yes. So what do I have to gain out of the meeting? Nothing. I see absolutely no reason for me to attend. Anyway, most shearites won't change blocks during their stay here. So why bother? Just because of one odd case, you have to waste 100 odd people's precious night. That's the efficiency of the JCRC. Welcome, to Sheares Hall.

Disclaimer: All above views my personal opinions, if you are offended, you can always talk to me personally. Despite all that I have said, Sheares Hall is still a wonderful hall with wonderful people everywhere. I have never regretted choosing sheares and enjoying everyday of my life here. Life can't always be rosy, can it?
