My Shouting Place

2008 Beijing Olympics over.

Wow. 2008 Beijing Olympics over already. A bit emo ah. I have absolutely enjoyed watching this Olympics. I think it's the closest thing to Singapore ever hosting the Olympics because I doubt Singapore will ever have the chance to host it. Come London 2012, we have to wake up at crap timings to catch the marquee events. Personally, I don't like watching sports events that aren't live because it kills the excitement.

Anyway while watching the closing ceremony, I thought back, wow I have only watched 3 Olympics so far in my life. Since Sydney 2000, I was thinking that 8 years have past and only 2 more Olympics have happened. The last Olympics, I was still at Sec 4 studying for my N levels. The Olympics before that, I was still studying for my PSLE. This just show that 4 years feels like a long and a short time no matter how you look at it.

Next year will be a "no sports events" year (unless of course you watch the SEA games which I am not even sure if it will be held next year or not). I know the World Cup always come in 2 year intervals compared to Euro and the Olympics that always come together.

Ok time to study for my last paper, FMGT!

I passed my FTT!

Haha I passed my FTT today!

Like finally... After failing it 1 week ago. 失败乃是成功之母. =)

Happy 8-8-08

New catchphrase huh? Anyway, here's wishing a happy 20th birthday to Kenneth and for tml, a happy 21st birthday to Kuang ge and of course, a happy 43rd birthday to SINGAPORE, our wonderful country with ERP, income tax, increased transport prices, increased oil prices... Oops. I mean happy birthday Singapore! =)

Anyway, it's the start of the Beijing Olympics. I actually like to watch the Olympics but bad timing la. Exams coming. 1 down, 3 to own.

Last but definitely not least, toto $8 million jackpot! Wooooooooooo! I asked birthday boy Kenneth for some numbers. Hope tio Group 1. 有买有希望, 没买没希望. Hahahahah!

Going to celebrate like crazy with them for their birthdays. Kinda guilty cos it's supposed to be study week but birthdays must celebrate wan! Unless it's right before or on the exam dates.

I'm back

I decided it's time for me to re-open my blog to the public. Since I'm going into solitary/isolation mode for the majority of the coming days, I guess blogging is my only way to stay connected with the outside world since I hardly talk on MSN. However, I still don't think I am able to maintain a steady daily or even weekly update of my blog. Probably still gonna update as and when I like.

People who used to visit my blog should know that I kinda always blog during exam periods because of stress and stuff but rest assured this is NOT a shouting entry to relieve stress. I already told myself that I ain't gonna give myself a chance or reason to complain this time round [ which means I'm gonna study =) ] I dare not guarantee but I will definitely try.

Life has been full of ups and downs recently. Last weekend was probably 1 of the craziest weekends ever. I will remember it. I actually got lots of feelings about that issue that I wanna write here but on 2nd thoughts, I guess it's better that I tell them to you directly since they are kinda private. I know you will read this so talk to me when you see this.

Ok what else? Yes exams. Exams are coming up. I will study even though I still got a bit of that "it's hard to have the motivation to study when you know you are not applicable to any local universities (except maybe SIM) because of your past semesters' GPA and that right here right now, I'm stucked in Ngee Ann Poly for 1 more year (while others are happily going or preparing for their IAP/OIAP and that I still have to study for 2 more semesters AND graduate 1 sem later than the rest. God knows how I'll feel on "Grad Day" ) before I can get my diploma. I can't leave right now because that will mean I wasted 2 years + of my life and money and end up with nothing." mindset inside me. If you were me, I bet you also cannot erase that feeling totally. It sucks I know but trust me, I'm really trying to suppress it and going ahead with studying.

Time flies so fast. Almost way too fast. I guess I should go for another holiday after my exams. For some reason, I just love Changi Airport. Everytime I'm there I always have this feeling that I'm somehow connected to the world. At least I can watch the world go by when I'm there.

I don't know if I have missed out anything that I wanted to blog but I just had the sudden feeling to blog and this came out. Might update later.

Anyway, good luck to everyone who are also preparing for the exams.
