Memories...

Been visiting youtube these few days and came upon some WWE videos.

I was once a huge fan of WWE. Damn those were the days of The Rock and Stone Cold spitting trash at everyone else and making me lmao.

I still remember my sec 1 and 2 days when wrestling was like the "in" thing among all guys our age. The WWE played a huge part in my sec 1 and 2 life with the moves we always imitate and sometimes resulting in injuries and the wrestling cards etc. Maybe it's the process of growing up cos I quit them all when I reached sec 3 and I don't watch a single bit of WWE now though I have some friends who still do. I heard it's quite crappy now though.

Videos like these make me think back to the old days:





1:10 to 1:26 just make me ROFLMAO

The Rock and Stone Cold are legends. Probably the only wrestlers who can play the bad guy and still have people cheering for them.

Roody poo candy ass? WHAT? It doesn't matter!

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.

Happy Birthday to my Mother!

This post is dedicated to my Mother. Happy Birthday Ma!

R.I.P Ah Beng Gor Gor

I just heard a very shocking news from my Dad. One of my cousins just passed away due to a sudden heart attack. Very sudden and shocking. I mean I just saw him during CNY and now he's dead. He was only 30+ years old I think. I always feel very sad when I see bai fa ren song hei fa ren. Though I'm not very close to him, I definitely respected him as an elder cousin and he was a great man, a very nice guy. He was 1 of the few relatives on my Mother's side that I don't dislike (or rather dread to meet).

Therefore, I would like to say R.I.P Ah Beng Gor Gor.

P.S. Please do treasure your loved ones.


Anyway, my appeal to add load was unsuccessful (expected). So I'll graduate 1 sem later than the rest.

Hong Kong Trip and Results

Well this post is long overdue. I went to Hong Kong the friday before (14-3-08) and came back on monday night (17-3-08). Lazy to post the photos here but they are all up on my friendster profile so if you want to you can go over there to check it out ;) The trip was ok. I did enjoy myself though not fully cos there was too much shopping! Haha I'm the kind who really seldom shop unless need be and sometimes I don't even shop when it comes to CNY period yet here I was shopping like there's no tml in Hong Kong! Well you can't blame me, Hong Kong is really a heaven for shopping. Besides, I had to buy back stuff from HK to at least show and remind myself that I have been there before. 1 thing is for sure, I'll go back to Hong Kong sometime in the future. I still got a lot of attractions and places of interest I haven't visited there. Dim sum dim sum here I come!

Actually the trip didn't go very well from the beginning. I fell sick on thursday morning (13-3-08) right before the trip the very next day. So it was a rush as I had to see the doctor (and boy was I glad that I chose to see a doctor). You know that common colds can only be cured by your immune system and that medicine can only cure your symptoms and make you feel better right? I thought about whether it was necessary to see a doctor and luckily I chose the safe route and went to see one. I did think that eating medicine = no alcohol during trip = :( but it was found that I had fever that time! Fever is no joke and I'm not sure it is something that can be cured by only your immune system. Furthermore, the moment I landed on the HK Airport and on my handphone I saw the SMS showing my results sent to me by NP. It was really bad (I'll talk about it later) but I didn't really let it get to me as I didn't want to let anything spoil my holiday. I remember that 1 point of time I was freezing to the point where I thought I was going to die of freezing during the 1st day I reached HK. 1 jacket wasn't enough so I wore another. 2 jackets + my shirt and I still felt extremely cold INSIDE the hotel room! My friends were feeling warm and I was feeling cold, wtf? Luckily I took my medicine and I got better and better as time went by. Another good thing that came out of the trip was the duty-free purchases I could make at Changi Airport! HAHAHAHA $21.50 for 1 litre of vodka? SURE!!!! Seriously, buying duty-free stuff is much cheaper than buying in the city. I advise everyone to buy duty-free alcohol or perfume etc. instead.

Ok, results.. Worst results so far during my time in NP. It was the worst-case scenario and by worst I really mean WORST-case scenario. I failed 2 modules and the rest were all Ds. You can guess what was my GPA for the semester. The only good thing was that at least I passed my ITP. I didn't really expect myself to do so badly. Well I was disappointed but I can only blame myself for not being urgent and not starting early and only studying during the day of exams for each paper. Well after receiving my results in HK, the 1st thing I did after reaching the hotel safely was that I immediately apologised to my parents. They didn't say much, just the usual "你自己好自为之". Not cool I know. I guess I need to change the way I work in poly. No more stingy stuff of not buying textbooks. Not gonna save on such money anymore. I usually study on my own (or at least try to). Guess it's time I find a serious study group in poly. Time to find people who are willing to study tgt even if it means I need to feel like an extra sometimes. I will still play and enjoy myself but as the saying goes, "Play hard but must also work hard at the same time!". I am in the process of appealing to see if I can still cram my modules to graduate in time like everyone else but I'm not too optimistic about it though I'll still try. If unsuccessful, I will graduate 1 semester later than everyone else.

Another thing that happened to me recently was that my ATM card got "eaten" up by an ATM machine for "unauthorised usage". I don't know whether it's my fault or the bangalas before me that kept pressing the buttons again and again for whatever reason that caused my card to be withheld. ZZZZZZZZZZZ have to go down to an OCBC branch again and apply for a new card and pay $5 for nothing.

Ok I'm tired already. Long entry I know. If you bothered to read through everything give me a tag yeah. =)
