Yo!
First post of the new semester. I am still in my holiday mood. Ha. Wanted to hit the books but just can't bring myself to it.
Have to choose some elective modules for third year. It has been a tough time deciding what to study. I have finally seen the light yesterday.
Changed my brackets to a power chain for my upper braces. Looks kind of weird with two different shades of colours between the upper and lower ones. My orthodontist is so hot. She said she would see me again after five weeks. However, the counter staff made an appointment ten weeks later as she is totally booked. I wonder whether she is that popular after working hours.
Looking forward to Jay's new album that will be hitting the stores in late October.

School is starting soon! It has been a long one month holiday. During school days, I always look forward to holidays. When the holidays are here, I would prefer them to pass quickly. It's quite contradicting actually. Nevertheless, I am recharged and ready for the new semester!
Came back from a class chalet yesterday. It was supposed to be a 3D2N event, yet it was inevitably shortened to 2D1N. Slightly more than half of our class went, with seven of us, including derreck, staying for the whole duration.
The event was not entirely effective in raising the class spirit. Many didn't turn up at all. Frankly speaking, I feel that going to the beach in East Coast or Sentosa and having a BBQ at night would do just fine. There are lots of activities that can be done at the beach, such as soccer, volleyball, swimming, suntanning, or just simply enjoying the sea breeze. It is economical as well. Instead of making it a 3D2N event where some may not stay overnight, we can shorten it to just a 1D or 2D1N event and increase the frequency of these gatherings. A lunch or dinner gathering may not be the best solution as the class may be dispersed into "bits and pieces" after the event.
I finally received my long awaited IPPT incentive award. Not much, but at least I can get snatch some cash from the government. Ha. I still remember what my platoon sergeant said during my combat shoot last year. "Government give you money you also don't want?!" This pushed me to perform well and in turn, I received my marksmanship award. Since almost everyone pays taxes every year to the government, we should get cash from the government whenever we can! It is our own money anyway.

Hi!
Yesterday was 11/09/07. It may not be a special day to some of us, but it is a day to remember. A day when the world was shaken. Time really flies and it has been 6 years since the Sept 11 attacks have occured. I still remember I was still in Secondary 3. I was just about to go to bed when the attacks were shown on television. I could not forget that scene. It was the first major news on television that I had remembered vivdly since then. Let us remember all those that have passed on. May peace be upon us.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is finally coming! I am going to feast on those snowskin mooncakes soon! My favourite! Yum!
I watched the news sometime ago. They mentioned that Tiger Airways are regrouping and expanding. I saw one cute air stewardess on televison. Didn't know that they had such fine stewardesses. Must have overlooked them when I went to the budget terminal a few months ago. Damn. I should consider taking Tiger Airways in the future.
Had my first driving lesson yesterday. It wasn't too bad, though I've made some minor mistakes. Had some conflicts between my driving skills and those that my instructor is teaching me. I expected some "plucking" from the instructor but he was patient. It was very different when I was in the army. I was often "f***ed" by my SAF driving instructor for making minor mistakes. Nevertheless, he said my skills were intact and I may just need a few lessons to brush up my skills.
Not long after, I went to Bedok NTUC and did some grocery shopping. While I was waiting at the cashier's queue, some woman came beside me and asked me whether I was interested in buying a shaver. She must have felt that I need a really good shave as I have not been shaving for more than 3 weeks! I must have looked like some castaway stuck on an island for a very long time.
Finally, I saw my results today. It was really below my expectations. Damn. I must push myself further the next semester.
That would be all for today. Bye for now!

08/09/07 多云
大家好！
今天是我第一次以汉字来写我的日记。不知为什么，就是有一种突而奇来的感觉，想用汉字来记载自己的经历。
已经有半个月没来写日记了。最近正忙着做自己一直想做，但又没时间去做的事。比如开个定期存款户口，申请debit card，整理房间等等。原本想找个工作，但多数的工作不是工资太低，就是那些得做超过一个月的短期工作。因此，我并没有在这个假期里赚到什么零用钱。不过，我至少能在下个星期赚$100。
许多朋友上个月刚上大学，他们一直诉说功课繁重，快喘不过气来了，想拥有一些给自己的时间更是难上加难。
前几天，我到Comfort Driving Centre去申请我的临时驾照。已经有大约一年没开车了，不知是否已忘了自己的驾驶技术，但我还是蛮期待下个星期的第一堂课。
昨天，我到了Tampines Mall的Isetan去购物，并买了一件长袖汗衫。那里正举行大减价, 场面热闹。原本以为人们正忙着上班，到了周末才来购物。我错了。许多uncle auntie早已到了，而且把店面挤得水泄不通。
后会有期！
