Back in 2013!

Neglected this blog for quite some time. Decided to blog after reading yl's article. lol.

2012 had been a really slack year for me. With the first half slacking in REC and the second half in NTU without having to work extra hard. I sort of flow through last year without much memorable events. Lots happened with GF of course, but personally nothing much.

THIS year is a crucial year for me. Work and commitments will be presented in front of me this yr. No much time to slack ard really. Challenges ahead both financially, academically and career-wise. Looks like i need more luck than last yr to pull it through. No i dun mean not working hard and depend on luck, but the luck that complements with effort.

Its really sad that the last sem is coming and no more socializing with innocent characters. Colleagues always have an agenda in mind and its hard to find a true friend with so many guys in a firm. All would want to get promoted, buy a car and house, make lots of money, be successful. I dun know how much money is needed to live in Singapore. I would prefer to be useful at work, having the motivation to complete the task. From many friends experience, this doesn't seem to be easy to achieve. That's why i need some luck to find me the right job.

Short term plan for the first half of the year is simple: Get above GPA 4, get employed and some luck in the BTO exercise!

Hong Kong and holidays!

Went furthest away from home for the first time! 6 days is a bit too long for a holiday, especially with everyday walking from malls to malls. However, i really missed the days once is woke up after a good sleep back home! Perhaps we are still a bit short in terms of budget for such a long trip, if we got more money it would be more fun!

Mapleleaf guesthouse was cheap cheap, $30 a night! The place was really small but a least it has a heater and tv, plus a nice Miss lee which provided us discounted advance tickets! Thanks to her also we do not have to queue for the cable car on day 1. The cable car trip felt something like a kusu island trip. There got sell nice beancurd! Almost like lao ban...but the fishballs sux.

2nd day was victoria peak! riding the tram was normal, just an uphill ride. Then went to madame tussauds museum! Took lot of pictures! The scary trail was not scary at all! No Beckham too :( He apparently "went" on a tour. After which, decided to go on adventure and find jumbo restaurant...managed to find it but the price is a bit high end. We spent 1000HK for dinner but i think its worth it to be emperor for a night!

Blogger upload pics damn slow...continue in the next post...

Hello blog blog!! long time no see. Last paper to go only!! YAY! which means that no exams for a year! woohoo! This sem is just another typical lazy sem...nothin much to think about. Maybe its much easier to think about hong kong.

So many nice movies this sem, and have only watched one. But that one actually caused me to be awake for a number of nights. Recently realised that the soundtracks with the movie rocks too!

Dunno why im in hall now...maybe because i knew that go home will slp and being here would make me feel more settled. Haha, it always the case that u believe ur actions will contribute to the results but more often than not, its not directly related also. It depends on others too, depends on luck, depends on karma also. See, Life is not within your control so why control it?? Just leave it to someone else and think about the things you enjoy, but not the things u worry abt.

October Celebrations were great!! Ate quite a few cakes this month. All plans worked out smoothly...perhaps except for my own study plans! :x

Tutee failed her promos, tried to persuade her to go poly but seems like she's going to remain status quo. Which brings me to something on my mind. People do not like changes, they prefer to remain in their comfort zone since they have been in it for quite some time and probably has started to get used to it. Maybe this is what our stable Singapore has contributed to it? Our life from young to university is almost expected...aces exams, holidays, prepare for next exams again. An element of uncertainty is missing in our life. For example how exciting it would be if Singapore gets flooded like bangkok and we have some disruptions to our life! I think people would think im crazy but im sure we would have an enriching experience of being tgt with our family, trying to escape from the waters. We would have been more adaptable to changes in our life then! Additionally, we could learn to be happy more without the need of achieving something to be happy!

Recess week!

Recess week was kind of gone in a wink. Tried making cupcakes with dear dear on Friday before going to annual dinner. The cupcakes was decent, only a bit too sweet! We should make more flavours like raisin, bananas and chocolate next time! Suddenly i felt im not so bad at baking! haha. Then it was annual dinner, food sux, games sux. The mc kept talking about appreciating volunteers which kinds of pisses me off. Its more like 160 volunteers forced to pay $10 for appreciation and u telling us this shit? its like taking credit for stuff u didn't do. I will never be there if there's no minimum number of tables la.

both orientation was ok. Youth did it for the first time and i must say it was quite successful. few freshies missed it but those who came enjoyed themselves. The games are fresh and the loose schedule, gambling and BBQ made the camp relaxing and interactive. Luckily we decided to stop the confidence challenge halfway when gust of wind blew, it rained like 10 minutes later. Thankfully, we were in chalet by that time.

On the other hand, RSPID orientation was rush and full of games. Seldom got time to play cards, and we spent some time on travelling. It was OVERNIGHT cycling, i personally felt damn shag. The freshies had fright nite before, should be worse for them. The freshies among them was well bonded because of that but support from the seniors was cui ttm. Wonders how v camp would work out but i might be not ard myself at that time.

Toro got a buddy over the weekend! Its called DA TOU!! cos its head is bigger than loser's already big big head! But i still dunno its a gerger or boiboi...but it like deardear! short hand short legs!

Learnt how to make mooncake today! really very easy eh, dunno why outside have to sell $8 for one mooncake...

Just returned from mayday 3D concert, and i dun have the usually music ringing in my ears after concert feeling. it just wasn't the correct atmosphere, and it feels like watching youtube actually. $20 not very worth it. rather save for their next concert. haha

Busy busy week ahead! its difficult not to watch EPL on a weekend! :x

Recently a lot of free activities! Istana, baybeats, museums....how nice if all these were to continue throughout the year. Then the pockets of all bfs in singapore would be fat! Enough spare for investment! haha. Still havent got my trading account leh, but youth have been eating up some of my money so im still a bit short to invest...oh wells.

Meeting up youth freshies later today. There's so many free thursday for them up till end oct. Kind of shiong to conduct something for them every thurs, but i think its neccessary rather than additional. A group with poor bonding would not show their support for anything in the future.
