Good day. Haha 2307 and I'm so jaded. Zouking yesterday was good. A well-deserved reward for all the effort in the exams, and the semester. For once, we avoided Chinablack, and effectively avoided a whole mass TP party cos other schools still having exams. Anyway, had a harrowing experience at 5am yesterday on the road, supposed to be a secret but erm, hmm, can check out Mandy's blog. Heehee.

Been downloading a lot of songs from Nikko Smith! He's one of the American Idol finalists. His voice is really 5 star man, I hope he wins it, along with Anthony Federov. But seems like all my idols always fall before they can win! Think Camille Velasco, Latoya London, Jeassea, Leandra, AND OF COURSE EVERYONE KNOWS WHO THE LAST IDOL IS.

Anyway, Nikko did some great tunes by Stevie Wonder. Go catch idol and hear for yourself.

Yesterday was a strange night. I was back after 12 and there was a little flurry of smses coming in saying my beloved friends just experienced an earthquake. In the heart of Singapore. Ok being the evil me, sarcastic and unsympatathic, tired and jaded, I would just reply things like

"Yeah. And I'm stuck under a pile of rubble. Can you call 911? I can't breathe"

"Ooh sure. Earthquake in Singapore. And I'm having dinner with the Queen now. Goodbye"

Yikes. Ok so I called for more details and turns out the whole house was shaking, things were like falling..gosh. And in my little house in Tanaha Merah, all was still and quiet. Must be some kinda weird phenomenon or a sick joke.

Anyway went online and Andrea's nick confirmed everything. More people called into P10 complaining of the tremors, and news filtered in a a huge Earthquake in North Sumatra.

So....ok I'm wrong! But realistically I can't believe the impact is so great. Guess we can't underestimate the acts of God. And I'm fortunate enough to avoid the mini earthquake. Anyone wanna share their 5-second life-threatening tale?

Why do people just wanna quit school like that?

Is poly that bad?

I have friends who slog hard and can't enter poly and here I have other friends who quit over no apparent reason.

It makes me boil.

I'm addicted, to Earth Wind And Fire! Ok not trying to be Captain Planet of course, but 'Lets Groove' really makes me grooooove..I hope they play that at Mambo. Although, rest assured I'm still living in the Britney Spears and A1 era, because the 70s and 80s will remain in the 70s and 80s and no attempt shall be made to ressurect them. Anyway, partly inspired by Sly too since he hit this tune during Disco nite last year.

Had Easter church with CHC at Indoor Stadium. It's very inspiring seeing the blind see and the deaf hear right before my eyes! I mean it's not magic or anything but prayers do work wonders! Amen.

I've hit 1000 on my ipod!

YES. Finally, exams are done and dusted. I'm in no mood to really celebrate cos I'm so drained. The last paper killed off any chance of me sleeping peacefully, and effectively killed off a chance of a good grade anyhow. Alright so assuming there's no supp for me, there's no exams till end of the year! No more mugging till my eyes become pandarised. No more Frappachinos at starbucks. No more past year papers.

Ok you get the hint.

Was in town with Weiling and the rest.. It was Ms Congeniality the second time round. I think that show rocks man. Then decided on HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE. Ok the most embaressing thing happened. I fell asleep snoring? Like the seats were so comfortable. Anyway the movie was such a drag. It's not even a movie. Some lame characters like a talking fire and a humongous fat old lady. And half the time I was dozing so it doesn't matter that the story was touching.

NYDC was fabulous. I'm gonna eat there more often. The starchy pasta rice and sinfully sinful desserts. I dig food.

I have another round of Sakae buffet next week!

A whole month of holiday begins! Been offered a THIRD tuition job, this time it's English. Am I so in demand? Ok thick skin. Ok Sec4 English is really gonna be a challenge so it's still on the cards.

Happy Easter! Off to church tmr.

3 DOWN, 1 TO GO!

Whew. I've conquered 3! Just the disgusting MEIT and NO MORE EXAMS FOR THE WHOLE YEAR. Unless I take supp. Ok I dun mind taking supp for any paper except MEIT. What is MEIT? Meeting, exhibitions, incentive travel. On a 'boring' scale, WHOA. It will explode the whole scale man. So I need to get over and done with.

Accounts was soooooo cunning. I mean it's 10 times more difficult than past years. POM was quite expected. Airbiz just now was also quite expected except an essay on FFP that wasn't covered at all. Haha. Goodbye to all my As.

Anyway yesterday was my rest day in between the papers, so I decided a SELF-DECLARED NO STUDYING DAY. Off for Ms Congeniality 2 in Great World. Hahahahahaha. I can't believe people said they could only hear my laughter. Yeah right. But it's unbelievably funny. I'm so gonna watch it again after exams. Then it's off to Crystal Jade and Bedok Corner for supper with iz and ken. And hit the books at 12 midnight! Whoa. Imagine my panic. Anyway I studied at my brother's room and ended up sleeping there instead. Wonder how much got in.

TOMORROW IS A PUBLIC HOLIDAY! SO NO STUDYING. ABSOLUTELY NO. BUT I'M STILL GONNA PASS MEIT COS I DUN WANNA SEE RAM AGAIN. NO WAY.

Yesterday was at mediacorp to see the'high on life' rehearsal cos the idols were performing. Haha, of course went there to see Sly again. All the fans were only screaming for him lor! Ok don't get mistaken I'm not like THAT in love with him, but I'm supportive of him because he's very humble and of all the 11 idols he's probably the only 1 who can make it big. Taufik-what a flop. Jeassea-what a waste. The rest-sorry can't remember them at all. So yeah I'm hoping his album will be huge. And give him a break! It doesn't matter if couples annul their marriage after a few days! Who are we to decide their marriage? If you got married, would you like someone to diss you when you get divorced?

Today was THE day, my last and final day at work. Sigh sigh sigh it was definitely hard, so really quite relaxed day thankfully. We blasted my ipod on the loudspeaker throughout the night. It helps when your counter is not really in the open for the public to see. But I'm gonna miss all of them. Each and every one.

Back to accounts!

To: the bus companies
It is obviously unfair that SMRT and SBS charge polytechnic students adult fares while JC students only pay 45cents per trip. Are we not of the same age as JC students? Do we NOT travel as much as JC students do? Are our families any better off than theirs? The general answer is NO, Polytechnic students are in fact just average students. Yes, there are elder students who are already working and capable of supporting themselves, but they still hold a very much smaller percentage as compared to the young students fresh from secondary school. I do believe SMRT and SBS are smart enough to not make decisions based on stereotyping thinking, and i certainly do believe that they are capable of being fair and unbiased, so i take it this fare difference was due to negligence in decision discussion and making. A higher fare would very directly affect the students' moods about school, discouraging students from poorer families to continue with their studies. This could impact the Singaporean economy as the majority of people studying go to polytechnics after their O levels, and a high fare would discourage workers from coming back to polytechnics to upgrade themselves.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I almost died laughing after reading this so-called petiton. Whoever wrote this: Go see a doctor and he'll diagnose you with brain malfuntion. Seriously wth man. I agree with the article to some extent of course. There's definitely truth in it. But a higher fare would affect students' mood? Discourage Singaporeans from going polytechnic? Hahaha. What sort of theoretical theory is this. I call this nonsensical nonsence. This adult fare scheme has been implemented since you were in your mother's womb and none of the 4 million rational Singaporeans complained except you. I hope you aren't from Temasek Poly, if not I'll be disgraced. Why don't you complain about these instead:

1) How come child buffet always cheaper? Children more special meh? All got 1 mouth 2 eyes 1 nose 2 ears what.

2) How come clubbing got ladies night no guys night? Hello gals earn money also leh why they no need pay cover and get free flow all nite. wanna challenge free flow all nite ah? get guys night man! Introduce!

3)HOW COME THERE ARE CATS AND DOGS IN THE STREETS. THEY BELONG IN THE MANDAI ZOO. SCRAM. BEFORE I TAKE OUT MY CHOPPER AND HAVE CAT AND DOG BUFFET NEXT WEEK.

IT'S THURSDAY!

And I'm not done with the studying. How come I feel stressed, yet I don't feel stressed? All the coursework grades are out. I wanna slap myself.

Ooh, Sakae Sushi buffet rocks. I can't believe an eat-all-you-can sushi buffet actually exists. I downed a million unagis. Poor eels. All electrocuting my body now. And the Fried Tofu, ooh. It melts in your mouth, not in your hands. The udon soup, aah. You won't feel embarrassed slurping the soup like a Jap. Ok I'm obsessed with Sakae Sushi. Move over Seoul Garden.

Ok yesterday after Sakae with denyse we visited the Pet Safari in Eastpoint. Yikes. I didn't know there's a clinic for dogs. Seriously, if your dog is ill, flush it down the toilet, or give it to me and I'll have it well done with baked potato. I have no sympathy at all. There's this humongous dog that blocked the entire pathway it's so frustrating waiting for that bloody dog to move away. WHERE'S THE LIBERTY. WHY ARE HUMANS GIVING WAY TO ANIMALS. Anyway, I did my own mass destruction. Saw this open terrapin cage and I kept knocking on the terrapin shell. haha. That terrapin has osteoporosis now. Time for HL Milk!

Guess what. I'm serious - I had a terrible nightmare. I dreamt I was being attacked by the dog, and there was pain throbbing through my whole body. And I remembered waking up with a yell.

I need a sleep doctor. I'm afraid of sleeping.

I've finally, finally decided that I'm gonna quit my work this week, before my exams. It's been bothering me since the ice age, and I wanna put it to rest once and for all.Today, especially, would be my worst day at work since joining 2 years ago. Big big screw up with all the fault directed at me, big boss calling me for an explanation, supervisor hurling vulgarities at agents...I've had enough. It's been a very memorable experience and it hurts not being able to see off my first real job with a proper swan song, but I guess that's the reality of the working world that I have to embrace. Been shortlisting a couple of people that could take over me, but news also broke today that they were cutting staff, so it doesn't make much of a difference.

So not much of a study week for me. Haven't really beem cramming like I'm supposed to. It's all up to strategising properly again. Starbucks, here I come!

On a happier note, I've found a tuition job! Which will start after my exams. Actually, it's my former student who made it into Sec 1 N(A). I know many people doubt my academic abilities, especially Maths, haha. Think I dunno. Aiyah, sec1 maths is easy. I've looked through my bro's books.

Ok ciao

Slyvester's to marry Maia? lol. like i mentioned, andrew saw them kissing, my cousin saw them smoking together. What so suprising. It just appears to everyone as a bloody shock. ahaha. how long have they been dating? is like any couple on earth could trash them in terms on the longer relationship time. and you can then say, "time is not the problem, its our love that is strong." i tell you you're being infatuated. Sylvester said on the article, it was a decision made on impulse. ahaha. why don't he make a decision on impulse to marry jermaine? i mean how would maia feel when she see this. her "husband" married her on impulse. you mean he just wanna fuck me?! buy one get one free marriages are never lasting. anyway, it will be soon enough to see once again on the papers that they are splitting up. like li nanxing and libing.

FROM SARAH'S BLOG. WAHAHA.

haha that's so gross

long overdue pic of my birthday. that's ADELE LEE XIU MAI and my angst expression

CAN U SPOT ME?

BACK!

Ok end of another beautiful semester. That's 2 long years in TP. I HAVE SURVIVED. Ok this sem was pretty rushed I must say. In the midst, I've missed a grand total of 3 lectures and 1 tutorial. BOO. That's bad. I should ground myself next week and turn my books into drinkable solutions to catch up. I shouldn't miss so many lessons. I must religiously attend all tutorials and lectures, even if I have to plonk my sorry body outta bed before the sun is up and sit through a nonsence 1 hour lecture when I'm better off reading the notes myself. Bahh, no time for regrets anymore!

Mum and elder bro jetting off to bkk end of the month! My return on investments were too good to be true. After blowing my life savings and CNY cash, I've lugged home a massive amount of junk that never seems enough. For the start, my cupboard is way too full now. New clothes and piled up together with my books. Eww. Haha it's worth it! Tiger Airways though. Sometimes, it's times like this that you have to be thankful for FSAs like CX.

Sly and Maia are getting married! Gosh. No one cares about Mr suave Batisah Tau Pok. Cos he can't sing for nuts. Look at the scandals after idol. I MUST JOIN THE COMPETITION.

Movie movie

RACING STRIPES - touching story. i'm so like stripes. sob sob

CLOSER - Another one of those M18 should be R21 shows

A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS - Cool! This show will sink Potter! And Malfoy! Carrey all the way!

SA WA DI KA!

Ok whatever you call that. Yo. I'm not back. Still rotting in bkk. Got a bit of time for me to blog here. Ha ok basically it's been good here. Let's see, Left on Friday morning. TIGER AIRWAYS SUCK. Ok, all LCCs suck! Maybe besides Valuair. Bloody Tiger Air exceeded baggage allowance by 1 pathetic KG and they didn't let me off. *^%$@!@ How am I gonna lug all my stuff back man? Had to hand carry some stuff on the plane. The journey sucks lah I was so bored and the seats were so minute. And everyone was really choping seats man. Lucky my aunt came to queue early if not I'll be stuck at the back.

And then, haha it's shopping everyday. I conquered Chatuchak in 2 days. Freak. I'm sure gonna have to pay excess baggage. So all my bargaining would have come to waste. It's a hella big market man. I had to move around with a map. And there's animals everywhere. I can't believe people were sellings dogs. EEw.

Oh another thing, everyone keeps thinking I'm a local! They will speak to me in their fluent Thai, and I'll give them a weird stare. And the it's like 'oooh i tot u rr thailand. waha' Hello I look miles away from a Thai man. Am I Tata Young's brother or what.

And the weather is like amazingly cold. I think it has to do with tsunami or something. But it's impossible to go swimming here. My legs went in and became numb. And I can't walk outside in shorts cos my my poor legs will freeze.

And I know it's paranoid, but I've been studying at night! no choice man. I touch down 2350 on Tuesday, and 10 hours later is my psy test. After that it's the amadeus test which I can't afford to flunk. Sighz.

Ok off to attack MBK. tc pple.

MARCH 4-8 IN BANGKOK. Ok the timing is kinda off. Like right smack in the middle of revision suddenly jet away but gotta take advantage of the low fares before March hols and with SIP on the way I doubt I can travel too often. I hope my beloved Tiger Airways flies me to and fro safe and sound. Because I can survive a short 40 winks with my 20GB ipod but I sure hope they don't compromise safety, which is my only concern.

I've been quite 'affected' lately. It's been a huge psychological warfare in and out. I hope I can the break I deserve.

For those taking As results, well I hope you all do very well get to your desired Uni and course and rock Singapore.
