Sex is like Math.
You add the bed,
Subtract the clothes,
Divide the legs,
And pray to god you don't mutiply.

5 more days to freedom and bliss!

2 down, 2 more to go. Today's ADINST was manageable, though it might be difficult to score. Relatively satisfied as the paper turned out to be the way I had expected the paper to be.

Went Lucky Plaza for lunch with half of the class and DK. We managed to find seats at the mini foodcourt located at the basement of the mall. As it was lunchtime, there were long queues at certain stalls, particularly the "River Valley Nasi Lemak" stall, where I tried the rice and it was soft and smooth!

Following that, 12 of us went Cineleisure for some browsing time. Eventually we sat down on a long, long bench and chatted among ourselves. We could have played "Musical Chairs", but we didn't.

There's always a great feeling when going out as a big group, like what we just did. Though there's still APHCHM and P&F to fret about next week, today just seemed to be the very end. Outings that took place today should take place more often to heighten the class spirit. It's hard, but how long more do we have as a class? Treasure these times before they are lost.

7 days to peace and bliss!

Completed my PPCHEM module today. Just have this intention to blog before I continue my ADINST revision. Overall, the paper was do-able. Managed to remember some answers when the invigilator announced, "You have 5 minutes left". Though I attempted all questions, I'm not very confident of my result. Nevertheless, IT IS FINALLY OVER.

Going to do the online survey that Leong pestered me to do just now. Bye and take care everyone! For honour and glory and bliss!

10 more days to freedom and bliss!

After 48 years of long wait, Singapore has finally achieved an Olympic medal today.

A silver medal after battling with the Chinese, following a tough fight with the Koreans in the semis.

We would remember the Women's Table Tennis team of 2008 Beijing Olympics in time to come.

15 days to freedom and bliss!

Been so long since my last update. I guess my weekly blog is going to become a monthly blog soon. Apologies to those who used to frequent this site. However, if you are reading this, here's a very big THANK YOU to you. Welcome back.

I'm reaching the end of my semester soon. One more semester to go and I'll be labelled as "UNEMPLOYED" again. Hope to enter into a local university. After my ITP, I realised that working in a laboratory and doing routine analysis everyday isn't my cup of tea after all. Probably will work as a QC analyst, a supplier or even a businessman, yet still staying in my field of interest, the chemical industry. Maybe I may even work as a research chemist, which is my goal in GSD.

Exams coming in a week's time. Time to mug and produce extraordinary results again. This semester may not be as easy as my last semester, but I shall continue to work hard and smart. The only thing that will take up a portion of my coming holidays will be my FYP. Nevertheless, I look forward to the next semester and graduation.

Will be updating more frequently after my exams. Take care brothers and sisters and buck up for all those taking exams in the next few weeks! You'll never walk alone!

I met this PB lecturer today who smiled when he mentioned bad news about my results.

I'll be back!

Happy Birthday Bliss!

When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now,
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine?

If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?

oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oooo
You'll be older too, (ah ah ah ah ah)
And if you say the word,
I could stay with you.

I could be handy mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride.

Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?

Every summer we can rent a cottage
In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck, and Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
Stating point of view.
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, Wasting Away.

Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?

Damn tired this week due to work keep piling non-stop. Getting lazier and lazier ever since I recovered from my injury and I feel bad. I have to get my motivation back quickly and do well again, especially for my FYP. I cannot let my team down. Wake me!

Been searching for vehicle rental companies online for the past week. Unfortunately, almost all companies require at least one year of driving experience before you are allowed to rent any vehicles. This is really stupid. Nevertheless, most companies provide similar rental rates.

That would be all. Take care everyone!

"Trying so hard to forget you, yet when I dream of you holding hands with another, I just don't feel good. You make me love and hate you at the same time."

Friday, June 27, 2008

Finally finished my first round of tests this semester. It wasn't very good overall but I shall work harder for my semester exams.

Haven't been going shopping for quite sometime since I was injured. Went Vivocity with Phoebe and had dinner at this gr8 restaurant named Kim Gary. I recommend the Supreme Curry Chicken Chop. Though the curry was not very spicy, essence of the curry was there. Much of it was meat and there was not much skin. We shared fries seasoned with some special mix, but it was nothing special.

As for Euro 2008, the final showdown will be between Germany and Spain. I predicted Germany and Italy for the finals. Nevertheless, I'm sure it will be an entertaining match, as the Germans are the traditional favourites and Spain has a talent-filled team. My ticket goes to Germany, though there is a high chance that the match may go into extra time.

May the best and worthy team win!

Friday, May 30, 2008

I found this on my friend's blog. It's really interesting. Read on.

What happened to all the nice guys?

The answer is simple: you did.

See, if you think back, really hard, you might vaguely remember a Platonic guy pal who always seemed to want to spend time with you. He'd tag along with you when you went shopping, stop by your place for a movie when you were lonely but didn't feel like going out, or even sit there and hold you while you sobbed and told him about how horribly the (other) guy that you were ****ing treated you.

At that time, you probably joked with your girlfriends about how he was a little puppy dog, always following you around, trying to do things to get you to pay attention to him. They probably teased you because they thought he had a crush on you. Given that his behavior was, admittedly, a little pathetic, you vehemently denied having any romantic feelings for him, and buttressed your position by claiming that you were "just friends." Besides, he totally wasn't your type. I mean, he was a little too short, or too bald, or too fat, or too poor, or didn't know how to dress himself, or basically be or do any of the things that your tall, good-looking, fit, rich, stylish boyfriend at the time pulled off with such ease.

Eventually, your Platonic buddy drifted away, as your relationship with the boyfriend got more serious and spending time with this other guy was, admittedly, a little weird, if you werent dating him. More time passed, and the boyfriend eventually cheated on you, or became boring, or you realized that the things that attracted you to him weren't the kinds of things that make for a good, long-term relationship. So, now, you're single again, and after having tried the bar scene for several months having only encountered players and douche bags, you wonder, "What happened to all the nice guys?"

Well, once again, you did.

You ignored the nice guy. You used him for emotional intimacy without reciprocating, in kind, with physical intimacy. You laughed at his consideration and resented his devotion. You valued the aloof boyfriend more than the attentive "just-a-" friend. Eventually, he took the hint and moved on with his life. He probably came to realize, one day, that women aren't really attracted to guys who hold doors open; or make dinners just because; or buy you a Christmas gift that you mentioned, in passing, that you really wanted five months ago; or listen when you're upset; or hold you when you cry. He came to realize that, if he wanted a woman like you, he'd have to act more like the boyfriend that you had. He probably cleaned up his look, started making some money, and generally acted like more of an asshole than he ever wanted to be.

Fact is, now, he's probably getting laid, and in a way, your ultimate rejection of him is to thank for that. And I'm sorry that it took the complete absence of "nice guys" in your life for you to realize that you missed them and wanted them. Most women will only have a handful of nice guys stumble into their lives, if that.

So, if you're looking for a nice guy, here's what you do:

1.) Build a time machine.
2.) Go back a few years and pull your head out of your ass.
3.) Take a look at what's right in front of you and grab hold of it.

I suppose the other possibility is that you STILL don't really want a nice guy, but you feel the social pressure to at least appear to have matured beyond your infantile taste in men. In which case, you might be in luck, because the nice guy you claim to want has, in reality, shed his nice guy mantle and is out there looking to unleash his cynicism and resentment onto someone just like you.

If you were five years younger.

So, please: either stop misrepresenting what you want, or own up to the fact that you've ****ed yourself over. You're getting older, after all. It's time to excise the bull**** and deal with reality. You didn't want a nice guy then, and he certainly doesn't ****ing want you, now.

Sincerely,

A Recovering Nice Guy

You Are 19% Perfectionist



You're definitely not a perfectionist.

You know it's important to be easy on yourself - the world is difficult enough!




You Are Chocolat Orange Pocky



Your attitude: funky and flavorful

Rich and deep - yet zingy and zesty

You are the perfect partner in crime




What Your Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich Means



Your eating style is gluttonous. If you like something, you're going back for seconds... no matter how full you are!



You have an average sweet tooth. While you enjoy desserts, they aren't exactly your downfall.



Your taste in food tends to be conservative and traditional. It's likely that you prefer "All American" favorites like mac and cheese or hamburgers.



You are probably a fairly normal, upper middle class person. You don't rock the boat too often.



You are a tough person who isn't afraid to live life fully. There isn't a lot that scares you.



You are laid back and extremely easygoing. You never make a fuss, and you try to enjoy every moment.

School Gate Opens!

After few weeks of rest at home, the feeling of staying at home suddenly feels great. I have a one-week extension of my holidays. Feels shiok when peers go to school while I get to stay at home legitimately.

Anyway, shall briefly touch on those new notes online before my brain gets "rusty".

Cya and take care everyone!

The Gunners are going to beat the Red Devils tonight!

FIBUA for 16 more days

Went for a review at CGH on Wednesday. I did hope for the better, but also expected something else. Anyway, the outcome was to remain in a cast for the next 2 weeks. Two choices were given. One is self-healing, where there's a 70 to 80% chance of letting the bone attaching back by itself. Another would be surgery, where a metal chip is inserted to hold both ends together. None of these was the better option. Hence, the doc advised observation for 6 weeks, with an X-ray exam 2 weeks from now.

I'll be missing the first week in school. In fact, I may miss more. Whatever the outcome may be after the X-ray, I have to be back. I have to get rid of this cast. Wasting my time away.

Everyday is FIBUA.

晴天好好听喔!请慢享用!

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road, straight ahead
A car was stalled, the engine was dead

I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screamin' tires, the bustin' glass
The painful scream that I heard last

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

When I woke up the rain was pourin' down
There were people standing all around
Something warm rollin' through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said,
"Hold me darling, just a little while"
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I would miss.

Well now she's gone
even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life, that night.

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

2 more weeks!

Greetings!

I did an X-ray for my foot this Monday. Though the swell had gone down, I wanted to make sure that there were no broken bones.

To my amazement, there was a displacement and fracture of my 5th metatarsal bone. I was given a referral to CGH A & E department immediately.

After a 2-hour wait, I went for my consultation. The nurses made a plaster cast to restrict the movement of my foot. This is to ensure that my bone heals faster. I purchased a pair of crutches as well, which would be my walking aids for the next 1 week.

Issued to me was a 1-week long MC. I'm free from work.

Cya!

4 more weeks to a breather!

It was busy at the laboratory as usual. Had been doing gold and nickel stripping almost everyday.

Bad news is, I sprained my right foot on Tuesday morning. It's real bad. It became swollen and there were some bruises. Went to this 推拿 specialist on Thursday but the swell didn't go down. Hence, I went to consult this 跌打 physician near the Bedok Reservoir NTUC supermarket yesterday. He applied some oil and put a wrap around the affected area. The pain is still there but it comes and goes. I'll just see how it is when I remove the wrap tomorrow morning. Hopefully the swell would have gone down significantly.

On Monday, a new temp staff came to the production office. I didn't manage to talk to her as I was really busy in the lab. I finally had the chance to chat with her on Friday. Her name was Xiu Zhen and she's a first year student at NYP. She knew at once that I am a DCP student when I mentioned that I am from SP. What she is studying is similar to my modules. We chatted for more than 30 minutes. I eventually went back to the lab as my drawing of samples was incomplete. Jennifer thought I went to regulate my bowels because I went away for so long.

Cya!

5 more weeks!

Hi!

Really tired for the past few weeks ever since I started ITP. This week has been quite busy for me, compared to the first 3 weeks. Seriously. For this week, I am attached to the laboratory department. Though my main task was to perform the Hull cell test everyday, being in the lab feels more comfortable, just like being in familiar territory. Was indeed lucky that I was not posted to the etching and plating workshops, which would have been a toil on my ears.

Found 2 SP graduates working in the lab too. Jennifer and Suhaimi. Suhaimi is a Malay and yet I saw him eating Chinese food with pork! I have yet to ask him why. Jennifer graduated in 2007 but she's younger than me by around 6 months as she was a Normal Academic student.

Next week, I will be working with the engineers on the implementation of a recovery system. Wish me luck!

Last but not least, I received my results last week. All I can say is that it was fairly unexpected, yet decent.

Jenny is hot!

8 more days to release of results!

Hey!

It has been quite some time since I posted updates.

Today is a special day.

I am licensed to drive.

Next stop: Class 4

It won't be soon before long.

Ti Amo by 炎亚纶 刘力扬

虽然是简单的形容
虽然是重复的动作
因为有你
让一切都变成不平凡

好想缝合你我手心
就这样牵住放不开
有你陪伴
呼吸着有你的空气
就是幸福

ti amo te quiero
每一天都要爱上你
想着你沉入梦境
一张眼一清醒
第一个想到又是你

sarang he and i love you
我每天都要爱上你
少一天就会遗憾
陪着你的光阴
怎样都不算蹉跎

Freedom at last! 3 more days to Lunar New Year!

It has been more than 2 weeks since my last update. 请大家见谅!

Woohoo! Exams finally ended last week. The day has come.

The exams were relatively ok. I should be doing better compared to last semester, with a few "A"s this time. However, it would be difficult for me to get distinctions. Nevertheless, I'll be content if my GPA goes up by 0.3 and above.

It has been a fruitful experience for me this semester. Through several group work, projects or discussions, may it be big or small, stronger bonds have been forged. I'm beginning to know everyone better. No matter what ups and downs that we had experienced together, it's great knowing you guys. 谢谢大家的支持! Some of you may think the class is not united compared to our buddy class. I beg to differ to a large extent. Though we have our own cliques, we always have stuff to discuss and talk about whenever we gather together in different permutations and combinations. There is, however, a minority which I seldom mix with. Like I said, it's only a minority. I do hope the trend continues or gets better in the upcoming year. Think about it people.

Went for a small celebration with the guys on Thursday. We spent the whole afternoon at Orchard. Browsed through some books at Borders before continuing our little walk along the streets. Most left at 5-plus while Derreck, Chin Ming and myself stayed to watch "Sweeney Todd" at Cineleisure. Derreck wanted to watch as it was rated 5-star in the "FIRST" magazine. We didn't expect the movie to be a musical. However, I felt that the show would not have deserved such a high rating if it wasn't a musical. Nonetheless, it was a movie that I won't mind watching.

After meeting Dr Chia on Friday, I proceeded to Chinatown with Jo. As expected, Chinatown was bustling with stalls and people. The rain did not dampen the spirit of the crowd. We walked through the food market and the stalls and "grinded" many people. Jo left before I joined my cousins and sis for a second "tour".

On Saturday and Sunday, I went to search for my new year clothes. It was not my choice to make it a last minute affair. I had other commitments to handle. Schoolwork, social life and so on. I don't usually buy clothes when I meet up with friends. That is the problem. We just chat. Fortunately, I managed to buy my clothes in the end. Bought a decent top and bottom within two hours.

That will be all for now. Wishing everyone an early Chinese New Year!

P.S. This song is dedicated to someone who can't wait to get out of Singapore again. Enjoy! You know who you are. Haha.

Stop And Stare by OneRepublic

This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move, I'm shakin off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands, just take the wheel...
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can u see what I see

They're tryin to come back, all my senses push
Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could...
Steady feet, don't fail me now
Gonna run till you can't walk
But something pulls my focus out
And I'm standing down...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, you don't need

What u need, what u need...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Oh, do u see what I see...

14 more days to freedom!

Hey everyone!

Some brief news before work.

Went to school an hour today for CENGPR lesson. I didn't want to go initially. Nevertheless, I had this special urge to go to school. An unexplained feeling that simply cannot be described in words.

The attendance for 2B05 was "pathetic". Only fatt, bf, clara and myself came. 2B06 was relatively better, with ben and gang, yb and company and a few of the girls. I had expected her to go through our reports but she haven't even finished marking. She only went though some past year questions (luckily I did some of them) and highlighted some points in our lab reports.

After the lesson, fatt, bf and I went IMM to study. I had my lunch as well. Fatt went off a while later as she had something on. Bf and I stayed to chat and study.

I made my way back at 1700. Went to check out the regional library at Tampines (TRL) and realised that it's way better than the one in Bedok. The main problem in Bedok is there are usually not enough tables but with an abundance of sofas and chairs. In the case of TRL, it has more tables and chairs for revision, especially those in the reference room. The ambience is superb. Even the "young readers" section, which was meant for children, was relatively quiet. Maybe there were not many people around. Nevertheless, I would still prefer the one at Tampines. I found a decent table and studied my QAAS for more than an hour. Didn't cover much, but at least I've made my time worthwhile. I don't think I could have done that well if I had stayed at home the whole day today. I may consider going there tomorrow.

Oh Rebecca.. You are my "hope" in the Pandora's box..

17 days to freedom!

Finished my last ENVSTB quiz today. Spent a long time studying for it but most of the questions were of calculations. Didn't have time to check the paper but I guess I should be able to get a decent grade.

Received back my CENGPR quiz. I was a bit disappointed with my marks due to some serious careless mistakes. More haste, less marks. Nevertheless, it's all over. I must "add oil" for my exams.

I volunteered to help out at the "SP Open House" last Saturday. Though I was there for only a few hours, I had a sense of achievement. I managed to do my job well, though it was not my primary job.

I was initially assigned to help out in distributing "goodie bags". However, the "goodie bags" were only given out at around 11-plus am when more visitors arrived. Instead of slacking around, I helped some of my classmates in distributing "Sprite".

I was getting a bit bored after distributing the cans for an hour or so. GL then suggested going mobile, where we bring cartons of "Sprite" into the "Spinnovex" exhibition tentage.

As it was still early, there wasn't any visitor at "Spinnovex". There were only students displaying their projects. This made our life easier as we were able to negotiate the sharp turns and corners in the tentage using our trolley. We bought in 6 cartons of "Sprite" and we came out stockless in less than 20 minutes. It was really great, but it could have been better if we sold our cans and pocketed the money.

Besides going to the "Spinnovex" tentage, we also gave the cans to the people in the "wireless room" near the Vietnamese cafe, as well as visitors we met along the way. Saw some great looking ladies and offered them drinks, so we didn't really complain about our job.

The "Sprite" was really damn popular. We kept going back to the storage room for fresh stocks. At the end of the day, we cleared almost half of the total number of cartons that were available before the start of the day.

Damn. Maybe I should really be doing sales and marketing. Even my horoscope says so. A wonder Gemini. Still looking for my twin.

I received my ITP posting today. Some company at Loyang. Most probably going to relax and chill during ITP nights, especially after a hard day's work.

"We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't care."

Bye! All the best for those taking exams for the next few weeks! It's going to be over soon!

Glossary: "Sprite" - a brand of canned drink

50th post!

Another tiring week has ended. Ooh yeah!

This post marks the "golden jubilee" of my posts.

I'll like to thank everyone who has helped me in one way or another in making this blog a success ever since this blog was started. 感谢大家的支持!

Cleared my TR&TRA presentation on Thursday. A lot of effort has been put in for this presentation since my group got together. We went through tough times while doing our research but it was all worthwhile. It was so difficult to earn our deserved marks from Dr Chia. Nevertheless, it was a job well done. Excellent work team! Mr Tso, you better be happy that you've got what you wanted.

Finished my QAAS quiz today. I was surprised that the questions were direct and relatively easy. I had expected the paper to be tough as I was not extremely well prepared. What a relief!

Accompanied Jo to shop for a pair of slippers at Orchard. Didn't manage to buy anything in the end. I suggested going Borders before taking the train home. Eventually, we spent 2 hours there browsing through divination books again and again. Jo really liked a book about Chinese Horoscopes and wanted to buy it. After looking at the price, he decided not to. The book costs more than 30 bucks.

Browsed through 2 books on aircraft as well. I realised that Singapore's military aircraft are much more advanced compared to those from our neighbouring countries in SEA. So much $ has been contributed to defence and the amount has not gone down since. In terms of technology, we have the upper edge. Nevertheless, we cannot rely solely on our weapons. We need our own people to stay together and preserve our sovereignty.

Sleep tight!

Early Bird!

Morning everyone!

This is my first time posting so early in the morning.

Just want to talk about my dream just now. This dream is like an adventure, with many scenarios occurring within a small time frame.

There was this scene where I was in class in with many people in DCP. There was this unfamiliar lecturer who was taking attendance. One of my classmates told me he left out my name. Only after I heard the lecturer called "YH" twice then I realised that he was taking attendance for all of the people in DCP. When he finished marking his attendance, he stood up. To our amazement, he was wearing this traditonal chinese costume for an official dating back to the Song Dynasty in China. Everyone started laughing like nobody's business.

Gtg now! Preparing for my presentation later...

Happy New Year!

Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

2008 is finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just finished watching "Countdown 2008 Vivocity" on TV. I didn't plan to go to any countdown parties as I was quite tired. Nevertheless, I'm having the festive mood.

Went to school for a short meeting with my TR&TRA teammates. The feeling of going to school on New Year's Eve wasn't good at all. However, for the sake of my presentation, I decided to carry on with the meeting even though Dr Chia was unwell and absent.

The school was extremely deserted. The "Banglas" were shaving the roadside trees beside the pond. C M Tso was devastatingly late as usual. He came after the library closed for its half-day. Can you believe it? The rest of us have already reached town and were going for our lunch. He didn't join us in the end.

Went to Starbucks at Marina Square after having lunch at Funan. Had a very long and interesting talk there.

Good nite! Enjoy ur first day of 2008 people!!
