School has already started for three weeks. How time flies!And man, this week zooooom pass so so fast. So fast that when I looked at the calender this afternoon, I realised man....it's the end of July already.
Half a year gone just like that and it got me thinking, what have I been doing for the past 6 months?
Studying in SIM was probably one of the toughest decision I have to make in my life.
Firstly, the most important factor is none other than finance. I mean, yes, my dad has the capability of supporting my school fees and all but then again, 30K is a HUGE amount and not forgetting modules which I've failed. That's like additional 1K++.
Secondly, TO ME (this is my OWN opinion, I'm not sterotyping anybody), I feel its quite impossible for an ITE graduate to end up as a degree holder.
In my entire years of education, I'm someone who somehow do things at the very last minute. Take for example during exam period, I'll only start revising for it like 1-2weeks before? and during test week, I'll take like 1-2 days before to revise for it. I'm someone who learn things very slow and I truly admire those people who don't turn up for lectures and worse, don't revise for anything and yet end up acheiving super good results.
Maybe that explains why I ended up in ITE and feel it's quite impossible for me to become a degree holder.
Frankly speaking, what motivate me to continue studying after my diploma is actually my siblings. Yes, BOTH of them. My brother and sister.
I remembered attending my brother's convocation at SIM and also my sister's convocation at NUS few years ago and I told myself I WANT TO WEAR THAT HAT someday and enter into the working society with pride!!
But then again, can I pass the first stage? I still have three more modules from sem 1/2 to clear.
People say studying is easy as long as you put your whole heart into it to focus and concentrate. And seriously, I feel my life is in a mess now. I have zero clues on what I want.
On a total irrelvant note, after lecture today, we had project meeting to discuss on our 5000 words Buyer Behaviour project.
We were discussing on what product to do and then a friend of ours, tried to be funny by saying condoms. And I have no idea why it suddenly link to sperms. Fyonne and Kevin had a very funny conversation.
F: "Kevin, do you know you can donate your sperms?"
K: "Donate? No way man, later everybody call me daddy"
and we both started laughing. The way Kevin speaks is like as though he's rushing for a train!!!
It's my first time working with a different group of people and I hope everything will turn out fine. :)
Wednesday - shorts and the super budget day:
Headed down to Savannah Condo after project meeting for bowling session with the GEL youths for their weekly outing.
My first outing with the youths and of cos, many more to come...(pictures will be uploaded soon)
And yay, I fulfilled my weekly sports activity. Looking forward for the next. :)
Thank God It's Friday! And yes, the annual Festival Of Praise is here!!!

Date: 15th-17th July 2009
Venue: Aranda Country Club.
Theme: Occupation
Day One
Day Two
NDP2009 NE Show 2
On the actual day of Fyonne's birthday, I planned out some tasks for her to complete but sadly, due to Monday blues, town was very quiet and none of us had the mood to enjoy.
So, her mission to complete the tasks failed. :( Sadly, Jeane dear couldn't join us because she was sick. I hope she's feeling better now.
We had Hong Kong Cafe for dinner.
Kenny and ZK came down to town to look for us. We had a few rounds of L4D.
They went for drinking session while I took the last second bus and yep, it was a super loooong journey home.
I love taking bus at night alone. Especially when it's a loooong journey home. hah! Weird ah? But well, I find it damn peaceful.
I just realised, this week is coming to an end. And I still don't have enough sleep!!
Waking up early again tomorrow to bring my mum to the hospital for check-up! Sigh, IF only I can drive now.......
And yes, badminton on Friday and Volleyball on Sunday with the mates.
No more drinking for me at the moment. Yeah! :)

I think I should change my blog to Wordpress instead.No pictures in this entry because Blogger is giving me problems AGAIN!!!
School has started and I'm so not liking it. All of a sudden, I dislike school. Everything changed. Things are not the same as before.
I feel so lost. Like as though I'm at the crossroad, deciding on which path to go or which direction to follow.
I feel like a loser for not wanting or more likely not daring to speak up.
Is like as though everything is already
But well, I'm glad that despite everything that has happened, I have supportive friends around me and that is good enough. :D
Anyways, the whole of last week was kinda hectic.
First three days of the week, I had lessons till 6.30PM EVERYDAY!
Wednesday was Fyonne's 21st birthday chalet.
After class on Wednesday, Josh drove Jeane, Jackson and myself to TampinesOne to collect Fyonne's birthday cake at Bakerzin.
Afterwhich, we headed down to Aranda Country Club; where her party was held.
The theme for her 21st Birthday was Occupation! I wanted to go, dressed in a super skinny jeans + super HIGH heels with bikini and my biker jacket and posed as a supermodel. Of cos, I didn't because that will be too "outstanding." lols.
In the end, I decided to dress up as a NDP Motivator! HAHAHA!!!
I only managed to dig out my 2004 NDP Motivator uniform the night before because I couldn't think of any other "occupation" to dress up in.
That night, we started drinking at around 11pm. All the way till around 615am the next day.
We had Vodka Peach, Martell, Hennessy, Heineken and several bottles of wine. Surprisingly, none of us were drunk that night except for Jeane who was feeling quite giddy and ended up being the first person to KO.
I only managed to sleep at around 7am+ and woke up at 12 for Mac lunch.
Josh drove Kristin and myself home to wash up abit before heading back to the chalet to help Fyonne prepare the steamboat dinner.
Her guests came at around 630pm and I was "maria" for the day while Josh was the "ahmud." lols.
We had our second round of drinking at night.
This time round, it was with a different group of people.
We finished 4 bottles of wine, 1 bottle of champagne, vodka mango and the left over heineken that night.
EVERYTHING was gone that night. And that night was the most terrible night of the chalet. Thanks to one of our DEAR FRIEND who created a scene.
Man, I just realised, our liver has been seriously damaged for two nights!!
By the time I got home, it was already 11am. Took a short nap and woke for SCHOOL!
Yes, I went to school despite how sleepy and tired I was.
I didn't want to miss out any lesson. :)
Town with the 3 Js after school. We had Ramen Tei at Far East because I was craving for tom yum noodles. yeah, tom yum is love!
Elaine came over to look for us and we went for L4D session at Meridien.
Man, it has been months since I last touched L4D. And I admit, I suck at it now.
Saturday was as usual, NDP. It was NE show 2 and because I didn't had enough rest/sleep, I was down with very bad flu.
Was contemplating if I should went because I was feeling really lazy, shagged and tired.
Decided to go in the end due to lack of manpower.
Couldn't attend GF's 21st party at Powerhouse because NDP ended late.
That somehow summarise the whole of last week.
And till now, I still think I havent slept enough yet.
Been waking up early almost everyday since Friday.
Yesterday was Fyonne's actual birthday.
Yay, now EFG are all legal to do anything. Can even catch a R21 movie together!! Saw sounds nice? Hahaha!! But then again, will there be a Saw 6 coming up?
L4D again at Meridien because we had nothing to do. Kenny and ZK joined us too! :)
Woke up early again today to head down to CDC for my final theory e-trial test.
I hope I'll pass the test tomorrow. I can't wait to start my practical lessons!!!
And yes, I NEED A PART-TIME JOB!

No fishballs at the BBQ. But, there were fishcakes! :)I felt so loved that night because the guys and dawnie were bbq-ing the food while I sat down at some corner waiting for food. heehee. Not that I don't want to bbq. I just don't want to have the bbq smell all over me.
The bbq was held at Ah Ber's place (as usual). His place has like almost everything. (Except for a swimming pool). He lives in this 3 storey Terrace house at Tanah Merah and even has a recreational room located at the top storey!!! The last time I went over to his place, it was super tidy. The moment we entered his room on Friday, it was in a complete mess. haha!
This gathering reminds me of the last time we were at his place..
Back then, we were still using normal digital cameras. Now, there's DSLR cameras.
Oh, and I'm in love with the two DSLR cameras that night that I went around snapping away....
Here are a few random shots I took:
Left early to meet another friend. Also called Gabriel. Hah!
By the time we ended everthing, it was too late for me to head back to the BBQ and so we went over to Riverside Point A971 cafe. Or issit a pub? to look for Fyonne dear because she was working there that night.
That Friday was well spent! :)
Yesterday's NDP NE show1 was crazy.
The sudden heavy downpour caused six of our motivators to feel unwell. Most, infact ALL of us were soaked in the rain. It's like bathing with clothes on. NO JOKE!
By the time we ran to the shelter, we were all already drenched like mad.
My shoes, hp, papers, etc, were all soaked in water. And thank goodness, my phone is still alive because I havent upload most of the photos in my phone!
And I felt sooooo bad for making shawn wait for me. Felt even more bad that I have to call my uncle to come and pick us up, making him lose a customer.
And it's the first day of school tomorrow. Man, I'm soooooo NOT prepared. Its like soooooooo sudden!
