Mugging

Since sunday morning, i had been mugging FFA, my final exam of the year. Up till today, my revision's completed and starting on the past year papers. Hmm... just can't seem to tally my balance sheets. Haiz.... always spotting careless mistakes... so irritating. Hopefully all goes well during the exam. Mugging in the morning, afternoon and evening. Then late at night, it's maple time! My favourite time of the day.. haha... i'm becoming too irresponsible... but can't seem to help it, it's so addictive...
Anyway, i was just thinking.. this exam is totally to my disadvantage. I usually nap from 3pm to 4pm.. And the exam starts at 2pm. I think i will be stoning during the exam. Just pray i wun be so tired that i can't think. Then i think the exam will be gone case. The preparations for this exams will have gone to waste as well.
That's all for now... All the best to poly frens for ur exams!!!

Music - A Refreshment For the Soul

Yesterday evening, i walked along Bugis...(dunno wat is the street's name) with Stephie and BY. I was trying hard to memorise the route there so that i can familiarise myself with the place. At the same time, we fooled around, bullying each other and squabbling non-stop. It was so much fun. Soon, we reached YMS centre.. We stood outside YMS auditorium and watched the crowd while digging out our tickets.
Into the auditorium we went and settled ourselves at a 3-seater. There was just a grand piano on stage and the lights were dimmed, to focus on the stage. I was skeptical on enjoying the show as i have no music background. Browsing through the phamplet which they handed out, we waited for the concert to begin.
At 7.30 sharp, the emcee announced the start of the concert. Jin Ping was the first performer. The pieces of music she played was so in-depth and too complicated for me to understand. I was thoroughly confused after her performance. Following hers was Evelyn. She was the second performer of the nite. Her ones were simpler to understand and very emotional. I loved it. Next on stage was Johnathan. He's superb! He feels with the music while hitting the keys on the piano. It was fabulous. I enjoyed his very much. Finally, soonie came on stage and she was so stoned..haha... think she was extremely nervous. But she did fantasically well too. Last but not least, there was Siew Ting. She was wow! Her err did not change the impression i have of her- a music prodigy... All of them were overwhelming. How i wish i had a little of their talents. hehe...
After their heartwarming performance, two choirs from 2 different schools sang 3 songs. There was this little girl who was so adorable and small sized. Felt like carrying her... haha... The final segment of the concert was ballonology. The entire auditorium was breaking out in laughters. And Evelyn was such a teaser. haha... fond memories...
+ thanks soonie for this beautiful concert. U were great!

Exams...

The exams kicked start with MAEC, a paper i fear the least among the 3 papers that i have to sit for in this 2 weeks. The paper was not that tough, unlike the first semester where the MIEC paper was brain-cell-eating. MAEC paper was so much simpler. Hopefully i can score well in this module. Unless the entire cohort does well, i think i will be able to manage a B+??? My aim: A.. haha...
This paper was followed by BMGT, which was held today. I feared through the nite that i was going to fail this paper. I wasn't well prepared and required lots of brain cells to store the information. My RAM is not that powerful. Maybe only Pentium 1 not Pentium 4. How can they expect us to memorise so much theoretical stuff?!?! I almost died memorising them a few days ago. Finally this module is over... The paper today was simpler than the past year papers, which was quite amazing. haha... i was so daft after studying BMGT... at least now's all over and i'm looking forward to tonite's program. It is the program of the day, a stress reliever and music to one's soul... I'm going to soonie's concert!!! Woo~ so happie!!!

News Headlines: 23 February 2006

The Straits Times, Thursday (23 February 2006): S. Rajaratnam passes on...This attention grabbing headline brought me sitting down on my living room sofa, flipping through the pages of the Straits Times. Then i went on to the Home section and ran through the articles of his great contributions to Singapore. To my amazement, his birthday is just 2 days later... Hmm.... having read quite a number of articles with people either passing away 2 wks prior to their birthdays or 2 wks after their birthday. Is this just pure coincidence or wat? Up till now, i still can't figure out why... And he is to be cremated today, 25 February 2006. Singapore has yet lost another great man who built up this fishing island...
The next headline was under the Sports section. Singapore scored 2-0 in the match against Iraq!!! Omg... is this real or just a dream? Did the Red Lions improve so much that they can beat Iraq hands down? Or is it sheer luck? Probably this is the first time that the Red Lions beat Iraq in a soccer match. Haha... but personally, i do not feel that the Singapore national team has reached the an international level yet. Maybe in the near future, it will. But at present, it's still at an amateur level...

Where's he???

Shortly after signing into MSN, several conversations sprung up on my window. Busy skipping from one conversation to the other, typing like a mad woman on the keyboard... and i dun type fast... haha...
When i entered the world of maple at about 9.40pm, i toggled between the virtual world and the realistic world... 3 conversations sprung up and were waiting for my replies... one of which was the mad fellow who fell out with me 3 days ago over a dumb misunderstanding... did he apologize? i dun recall any of such statements or sentences of similar meaning appearing in the conversation... anyway, all's over and are once again frenz... but the air of awkwardness still lingered on... it probably will not be the same as before... told me something that made me boil... he's not the guy i used to know... that nice gentleman who never fails to protect the people around him... disappeared from the face of the earth... now, all i see is a childish little boy in him who makes fun of people's shortcomings... *sigh*
So many people, so many different faces, who are the ones who can be trusted and looked upon to pour out your heart and soul???

Have a Break..

Taking a break from the immense amount of work which i've been hogging through the morning, here i am thinking back on yesterday nite's events...
I'm a Jack of all Trades but a Master of None...
Frenz mentioned and commented about the nick i put up in msn. Is this really me? Probably... to a certain extent... personally, i feel that i haven't attained the title of a master in any fields. Be it studies, sports, interpersonal relationships, music, etc... my performance was never of exceptionally high quality.
Taking sports for example, i participated in basket ball, netball, volleyball, badminton, tennis, cycling, kayaking, floor ball, soft ball, athletics, bowling, etc... but i am not an expert in any of the above mentioned. By far, the best i pulled off was athletics. 100m sprint and 4x100m relay were my pet events. However, i only managed to achieve a fourth and third placing in the respective events.. It was such a disappointment at that point in time. I failed to prove to myself the potential that is hidden in me. Therefore, i'm can never be a master, not cut out to be one...
Studies wise, i haven't majored in any areas yet.. 2 years down the road, when i achieve my diploma in accountancy, at least i have something to my name. But still, i'm not fully specialised in this area of expertise...
So, am i still considered a jack of all trades or should it appear as :
I'm a Jack of No Trades but a Minor of All...

BCA Terror

Arrived at school at 10.35 am, awaiting for the "cuckoo clock" to sound at 11 am. Settled in this classroom and prepared for the practical test that was about to commence. Looked through the paper and got a shock of my life. The paper was entirely different from the test we had a week ago!!! This test is 200 times more difficult compared to the one that i did earlier.
All the time spent on revising for this final test went down the drain... I couldn't think straight at all. Half the time i was rushing against time (the paper is 1 hr long) and the other half, i was trying to figure out the appropriate functions for the criteria. It just wasn't my day.
Firstly, my date format cannot be found and i was struggling with it. Eventually, i asked the tutor for help (which wasn't supposed to) and she very kindly helped me search for it. After about 10 mins or so, still couldn't find it and she went to her lappy to check hers out. Then she gave me a rough idea where the format was. Thank you so much Mrs Ang! So 10 precious mins went by in a twinkling of an eye. I was stuck on the first question and there were a total of 4 questions that needed to be attempted. When i was left with 15 mins, i was just on the second page!!! I freaked out then... I ran through the questions and spotted the simple question 4 and did it. As for questions 2 and 3, i think i did 1/10 of the questions only. Probably i will fail this test. First time failing my test... very disappointed...
Hopefully there is moderation for this paper. Most likely i will not fail the module coz the rest of the components included in the final computation of marks are done pretty well. But the grade that i will achieve will be a mystery...
+ BEST of LUCK to all for ur exams!!!

A day to erase from my life...

17 February 2006: A nurturing friendship of 2 months has been shattered into a thousand pieces over a misunderstanding. The way he reacted made my heart sink. *disappointment* I had never expected this day to come. Honestly speaking, i do not have the slightest idea why he got so pissed off with me. This happened in the virtual world of Maple...
I shan't explain the situation. Probably i will stop mapling for the next two weeks or so. Or i will play late in the nite to avoid meeting him...
+ Thanks gals for asking me to study hard again, i'm lost myself over the past 3 weeks. I will get back my drive to study again.
+ Eric, thanks for the invitation. It was sweet of u.

Doomed...

Today's a rest day. Just like yesterday. There were no lessons conducted as this is the final week of the semester and next week will be the study break. For me, my final year exams start on 24 Feb and ends only on 2 Mar. Haiz... A long interval between the second and last paper. (A week long!!!) Anyway, going to enjoy myself after the second paper. Heading to Bugis to watch soonie's concert. Yay!
Completed my revision for the day in the morning. Was exhausted after studying and went to get a refreshing bath. Didn't help much. The grogginess lingered on. Took lunch with daddy and mummy, then went back to study more. After 30 mins, my head couldn't take it anymore and i went to nap. One hr passed and i did some revision again. After which, i went on to play Maple till now. Haha... Gonna die in the exams... Jeez... this is so bad.
That's why i'm blogging coz i'm waiting for my character to heal... I think the gals will kill me when they read this entry. Sry gals. haha...

Valentine's Day

Today's the first day i celebrated Valentine's day. However, the date was not a guy but 5 gals. haha... It was so much fun. We ended lessons at 2pm and headed straight for Orchard. Bus 174 was packed and all of us had to stood. The passengers kept banging into my favourite bag!!! So irritating... haha... anyway, we reached Orchard about 30 mins later and walked to Heeren to try our luck in reserving some seats for dinner. We were competing with couples for seats at restaurants. So naughty of us... hehe... But we didn't manage to get any reservations. All were walk-in basis...
Practically every couple walking down the streets of Orchard Road was carrying a bouquet of roses, or the equilavent of it. So envious of them. Shermal was pretty upset and kept grumbling about those girls receiving bouquet of roses from their bfs. haha...
Caught the movie called Constant Garderner. It was extremely complicated. I was so groggy after watching the movie. I caught some sleep while watching the movie. The storyline was sophisticated and there were no subtitles!!! Their voices were muffled at times and it was difficult to make out what they were talking about. Half the time, i was trying to figure out what the storyline was and the other half, i was concentrating on not falling asleep. The screen shots kept jerking, making me feel like vomiting. I felt terribly sick after watching the movie.
After this horrible movie, we proceeded to Maestro Bistro for dinner (we managed to reserve some seats). From 7pm, we waited till 7.30pm before our main course was served. For every dish we ordered, we had to wait for at least 20 mins. Can't blame the restaurant. It was packed like sardines and a long queue was waiting outside. And we were surrounded by couples. 99.99% of their customers were couples and we belonged to the 0.01%. Anyway, our dinner was so scumptious. We had chicken/fish and chips, fondue and ice-cream waffle. They were all delicious. But i gave up eating after my stomach was bloated. The waiters there were pretty cute. Especially the nerdy one and the indian guy with countless earholes. haha...
After which, we parted at Somerset MRT station. It was a pleasant Valentine's day!!! Thanks gals.

Final day of Lunar New Year

Much was going on today. Not in my home but in the external environment... There was a Muslim wedding going on, a few blocks away from mine. At the void deck of my block, there was a funeral going on. Lots of music filled the entire neighbourhood. Didn't know to be sad for the funeral downstairs or to be happy for the newly wed. At least the funeral was pretty silent. The music was so soothing and extremely sad... made me want to feel for them. :'(
Anyway, within my home, we had our annual home-made steamboat. We had it for 2 meals!!! For dinner, we had an additional yu sheng and the "lau-ing" went on and on for about 10 mins. Mummy was so cute... sang "cai shen dao" while "lau-ing". We giggled like mad. The steamboat was superb. Not only was the soup clear and tasty, the food was yummy as well.
From 4 pm till 10+ pm, i was mapling. Luckily no one was talking to me while i was mapling, except 'lainee. Sorry 'lainee, couldn't reply u in time. Oh.. and there was Rinee. Played with her maple in the end. Made me laugh non-stop. Thanks gal. In the game, she appeared as a guy all of a sudden and called me her dear. Scared me man... haha...
The day ended just liddat. So fast... games really kill time like nobody's business...
+ Yay!! Valentine's Day approaching in 2 day's time!!! Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Subconscious test

Subconscious Test... is it speaking the truth?? Maybe to a certain extent... Probably i should participate in the question-and-answer segment of Miss Universe Pageant. Read on to find out why...
You are driven by a higher purpose than most people. You have a deeply-rooted desire to facilitate peacefulness in the world. Whether through subtle interactions with love ones, or through getting involved in social causes, it is important to you to influence the world.You are driven by a desire to encourage others to think about the positive side of things instead of focusing on the negative. The reason your unconscious is consumed by this might stem from an innate fear of war and turmoil. Thus, to avoid that uncomfortable place for you, your unconscious seeks out the peace in your environment. Usually, the thing that underlies this unconscious drive is a deep respect for humankind. You care about the future of the world, even beyond your own involvement in it. As a result, your personal integrity acts as a surrogate for your deeper drive toward peace and guides you in daily life towards decisions that are respectful toward yourself and others.
Though your unconscious mind is driven most strongly by Peace, there is much more to who you are at your core.

Boredom drives me nuts

This is another boring day in school. Now, i'm alone sitting in the freaking cold library blogging. My frenz had all went home to enjoy their day and here i am, stuck in school, awaiting for the faraway 5pm to arrive. I had been sitting at this seat for the past 2 hours and i think an egg can be boiled on my seat once i get off.
4 hours of break before tennis starts!!! I'm so sleepy but there are two guys sitting near me and i can't sleep with them around. And they are sleeping away, one of them even snoring. Jeez.... so tired...Zzzzzzzzzzz.... Another 1 hr more before tennis starts. Wonder how will it be like today. As crazy as friday and i think i will play till 9pm when all lights go off. haha... i think mummy will bash me up if i leave at 9pm. Tml lesson starts at 9 am and if i leave at 9 pm today, tml i will not be able to get up on time. I will be a dead pig on the bed...
Anyway, wanna thank the gals for taking lunch with me today. Still tot that i will take an energy bar for lunch since all of them will be going home at 1pm today. Who knows, all of us took lunch together... Thankiew girls!!!

Ngee Ann Open House

Yesterday was np open house. I had to go for lecture early on a sat morn. Had tennis the night before and was dead tired. All my energy was drained. The fitful sleep i had was insufficient to gather back my lost energy. Anyway, the lecture was pretty interesting, except for one method which was confusing. Till now, i still haven figured it out. SI.... dunno wat it is...
Went to Mac with Stephie, BY and Soonie. We sat at the side table and chatted till it was 11am before we made our orders. Received special treatment from Mac's staff. haha... they brought up the food to us (coz they had not prepared the food). We poured all our fries on the tray and it piled up. There was so much fries that we could not finish them. So a small portion of it was left lying on the tray, suffering from the cold air blowing down on them...
Walked back to school after that heavy meal and proceeded to the library to watch Stuart Little 2 while doing our tutorials. It was such a funny movie and we kept breaking out in laughters. Around 2 pm, we proceeded to block 72 to prepare for our ushering duties.
Had a stick-on tatoo which reads "BA ZEST!", a lanyard and a name tag. Around my tatoo was a big red patch resulting from excessive rubbing, coz the previous tatoo had it's exclamation mark torn off. The admin staff gave me another tatoo to stick on... it hurt...
Ushering was quite fun. Although there were times when there was no crowd, stephie and nurul oftenly stayed at the place, where i was supposed to usher, to chat. And i was given a set of coasters by Mrs Chew. It was a box with dimensions 20cm by 25 cm. And in the box, there were only four miserable coasters. -_-"
Anyway, we ended our duties at 6pm. By the time it ended, we were all dead tired. It was a new experience for me... i feel so old now... a new batch is coming in soon...

Maple Story rulz

Recently, i started playing maple story. It's super addictive. I had been playing it non-stop, consecutively for 6 hrs!!! My mum was so mad at me... Probably it's time to stop and start working hard for the finals. This is a crucial term for me. It's towards the end of year 1!!!
I noticed many of my friends' nicks included maple. Seems like it's a teenage in-thing now. hahah... All going "ms... ms... ms..." Alright, time to do bmgt project... Jia you everyone!
+ Sorry gals for not replying to ur messages immediately. haha....

IAC presentation

Had my IAC presentation yesterday. It was atrocious! Estimated speech should last at least 3 mins but i fell short of probably 1.5 mins. It was horrible. I presented the conclusion, acknowledgements and interview!!! What's there to talk about?!?!?! Who cares! It's history now. I believe the max grade i can get is a B. Anything above that will be a gift from heaven... hehehe... sad... sad... sad...
