More updates now. :D Today, I was supposed to wake up at 9am, but as usual, er.. you know.. that is.. I overslept again! HEE! Still the same as before.. so we had to change our plan from the original 12pm meeting at Bugis to 12pm meet Leqi at khatib MRT. I even set 3 ALARMS plus 1 TIMER, but still no use.. I'm also not sure why I still didn't woke up :S

After taking train to Bugis, Leqi and I went to the food court and had our lunch first, Shuzhen and Jiale came later on. Next, we went to the arcade at Iluma! My first time going to Iluma :) We surprised Leqi by buying The Ugly Truth movie tickets for her when she was distracted by Jiale, our accomplice :P Later on, we found out that Jiale had watched it already so we requested to change to Fame, but was unsuccessful.. After that, we tried again by asking the manager instead and explained to him about our situation and we were allowed to have the exception, YEAH! Got the Fame tickets while Leqi and Jiale went to toilet. =D Since there was some time before the movie, we went to the arcade and they played Mario Cart 2! There were bimbo princess, Walu, Mario and a Kingkong! They were aiming at one another, shooting traps, and I heard asshole Kingkong who banged the Peach and saw Walu trying to shoot the Peach down!

We were glad we changed to Fame as we also found out later that Leqi had already watched The Ugly Truth! Phew.. we were lucky! Fame was great! Somewhat like Step up movie, somewhere around that genre. After the movie ended, we went to the Otaku House to buy a Domo for Leqi, to surprise her even further since she was so paranoid the whole day :P And she was like looking around her surroundings so carefully and watching out for what we were going to talk about, sticking her heads in between during our whisperings. Haha, then Shuzhen and I met up with Leqi and Jiale outside and Shuzhen put the Domo inside her bag, with the Domo's head sticking out!! She had to walk in a particular way to hide the Domo. And on our way to Iluma, Leqi found out and we had her carrying it the whole day :D She attracted alot of attention! People walking pass was somehow stopping for awhile to look at her.

Moving on, we went to the Virtureland at the Bugis Junction. We played the drum and the machine was SPOILT! Argh! It made one of the player unable to choose the song and we were stucked at playing the same song for like 4 times! Hated the machine. It was so bad that we moved out and went to shop around. Later on, we gathered at the Swensens at 7pm and settled down for dinner. The service there was real BAD! Fish & Co. had an even better service, or rather, a service that Swensens can't even match up to! Tsk, we even gave feedbacks regarding their POOR service. The birthday girl had a rough day, being paranoid and had loads of ice-cream. She ate 1 cup of ice-cream in the afternoon with Jiale and had a birthday ice-cream treat from Swensens. Lastly, the ICE-CREAM CAKE, the HIGHLIGHT! Having 3 sets of ice-cream, wonder how it felt.. Definitely not an enjoyable experience, I guess. We ended the day by taking group photos at the fountain outside BHG and parted our ways at the MRT station.

Hey, I'm back after many pestering or request, I'm back to update. Where should I start.. maybe from start of holiday. Finally holiday is starting, exams are history, though not forever, but it's still better than nothing.

Firstly, there's 4S2 gathering. Next, I got a 1A03 class gathering. Moving on, I also went for another 4S2 mini class gathering, ice skating. Lastly, I went to JP to meet up with some of the 1A03s to surprise Jie Ning for her 17th birthday. And after all these were over, I was rotting at home, doing nothing, watching DVDs that I had borrowed from school, and also staying up late, for the whole night for anime. Let's see what anime had I watched. I got K-ON, Pandora Hearts and 07-ghost. Not too bad, got 3 anime all done! I almost forgot, I also went to far east plaza for shopping, for HL's blazer. Next, I went to wheelock for the first time! The borders there was really big! Even comparable to the kinokuniya at the Takashimaya.

Coming up next, I went for a job hunt, but not really a hunt, cause I stayed at home searching for a job.. And, I'm not sure if I should say I'm lucky or not, but I found 1. I worked for 3 days, the popular bookfair at EXPO. It was a last minute thing, and I had to went to Bras Basa with Nehzuhs to fill in my particulars, and some briefing on my job scope, even though I had already went for 1 during the March holiday. Although the pay is not that great, I had some fun and found out that quite alot of SP students were working there. Like the cashier that I was working with, the neighbouring cashiers and packers were from SP too. Alot of poly students were working there. There's freshmen, sophomores to seniors. It was quite fun, I made some friends. Though the work is only for 3 days, the standing for long hours and the weariness that everyone had, all these were done and endured for our pay. But it would only be processed and given to us at the end of next month..

The 3 days really went by quickly, but the long hours of standing went by so slowly.. And I was so tired during the 2nd day and even fell asleep on the train :S It was so bad, that I slept through the ride all the way from city hall to jurong east and I only found out when I was awoke at jurong east! It's so embarrassing, not only is this the 2nd time, but I even went out of the train to search for which train to take to get back to yishun.. After going left and right, I found out it was just in the middle, meaning I was at the correct train in the first place! I only got home at around 11pm, when I get to got off work early at 8pm, only because of my dozing off on the train :S
After the 3 days were over, I got back home and had a long sleep, rested really well! Phew, for the first time, sleeping for long hours was such a bliss!

As for my jap, I was taught particles, and I was half dead there, because of the work, plus I got to rush to work at 3pm at EXPO! Haiz.. hectic day, and thanks HL for accompanying me for the short ride. :D

Got to stay for extra lesson for next few sundays before I'm going to be lost for class again, and maybe some revision might help too.

Okay, I'll end here, will be back soon? Hopefully, soon enough :P

2009-08-17T21:40:00.003+08:00

Let's have an overview of what I did for the last week, now, let me recap.. hm...

There's no school on monday, holiday! But, I went back to school to do my drawing tutorial..

Next, on tuesday, I had my presentation on drawing! Went to school early to take some photos of the venue layout and drawn out the layout. And during the presentation, yeah, I was nervous again! Well, at least I got my points down. Though I missed out 2 points and was reminded when I was presenting. Thanks, Leqi!

Moving on, on wednesday, I went to school really early for the law extra remedial.. and had materials on afternoon...

On thursday, I had my construction tutorial, and did a FINAL edit on the tutorial, compiling all the stuffs.. it's busy in the morning. Later on, I went to Bishan for movie with HL. We watch G.I.JOE. It's pretty nice, liked the action, graphics and blah blah..

Lastly, on friday, I had IT early morning, and yeah~ I was late, like obviously! Anyway, it doesn't matter, it's just revision. After that, I went for the YOG @ Padang as helper, along with the class! It's okay, nice, fun. Nothing much, I just liked the fireworks. I did took a video of it, hehe.

And finally, TODAY!
Though, tomorrow's the end of semester exam, I'm not really in the studying mood! I haven't even start on a module yet! NOT EVEN ONE! I'm still in holiday mood. In addition, I even woke up at around 2pm! I did wake up in the morning, here and there... but dozed off... Haiz.. But I did some practice on photoshop and illustrator, so I guess it should be fine.. I hope so..

2009-08-08T23:27:00.003+08:00

Heeeeeeeeeey! I'm back! Haven't been updating for around 1 week, so here it goes.

I went to Swiss Hotel Merchant Court today, for my brother's belated birthday celebration with my family. Heehee, had lots of great food there! Loved the dessert there, especially those cakes! Not to forget the famous durian there, in the form of like cream, anyway, it was just too DELICIOUS! There's also the money bag there, just a fried food with some fillings inside, there was prawn inside it, it taste just so appetizing! Oh yeah, there's also the green tea jelly like dessert there, that's the one that I loved most there! Had one of my most delicious meal there, and not the often fastfood that I had been eating in school.

Moving on, next, I went to walked around the central shopping mall just across the hotel, since I had too much for my lunch.. There's nothing much there, shops, shops and more shops... And after soooooooooo many months of no life life, I finally went to the Orchard Central! It's one of the newly opened shopping centre there, the architecture design there was really amazing, there's this long escalator, it's real cool. And the lights, it's unique too! The ceiling at the 7th floor(if I remember correctly), had a different design from the rest of the floors, it's special. I had seen alot of different designs in the mall today. Had lots of fun today.

Now, back to reality, I've got 1 drawing mock exam to finish up, a drawing group tutorial, construction group tutorial (I'll be dead for this one, since I missed the whole lesson, wonder how am I going to do that assignment.....). Tsk, I'll be better if I had woke up earlier on that day... :S But I had a load off, I finally completed my ONOW Service learning project! I learnt alot for that project, I should say that it's one of the best project that I've ever done! I did a little better on that presentation, at least better than alot of my previous ones. I felt that I've accomplished something, like feels that I've become better? Not sure how to say it, just that I felt proud of myself? :P

Haha, got to end here, though I'm not sure what I'll do tomorrow. Well, I'll just wait and see.

Adieu~

2009-08-02T21:09:00.002+08:00

"Woke up" early at 9am but dozed off again and woke up at 11am! Haha, still got an hour to prepare. Packed for what I needed and went straight for my breakfast! I had a you tiao! ^^ Next, went to bought bubble tea, the usual, cause the you tiao too oily and I don't want the stench to linger in my mouth.. Arrived at Jap lesson a little late, but good thing that the lesson haven't start :) And today marks the end of my Jap lesson! Stage 3 will begin at 30th August!! YEAH!!!

I'm a good boy today, went to send my brother to take his ride to Tekong at Pasir Ris and went to my grandparents house right after that. I finally bought a foolscap and a pen at a bookstore after dragging on for soooooooooooooo long! I'm not sure why but my pens have been mysteriously disappearing... Haiz..

Now, I just got home and wanted to start on my ONOW reflections but haven't started.. hope to start soon..

Target for today: Be on time for my law lesson tomorrow!

Adieu~

2009-07-31T00:19:00.005+08:00

Today, 30.07,
I woke up very early! And I wanted to wake other people up cause only I woke up early and I felt like disturbing others, so I called my friends and wake them up :P , please don't kill me!
Next, I when I got to school, my 1st lesson was construction, and I went to workshop to do my tutorial assignment.
I had to construct a backdrop with the support, everything with timber, from the scratch!
It's really FUN and INTERESTING!, although there's also some amusing moments in between, but we managed to finish the work properly in the end :). I enjoyed nailing, and learnt the correct ways to nail at different angles, and positions.
We got a chance to draw(design) on the timber for fun but alot of them just took this chance as a reason for graffiti. Some drew cartoon characters, and some were just scribbling words on it.
But the wood dust flying would be flying around and irritate my nose, which I really hate it, since I've got sensitive nose..
After that, I've got a materials lecture, same old stuff... nothing much to mention..
Next, I stayed in school to do my IT Illustrator! Finished 2 of the exercises, got 2 more to go!
And, I've got to wake up at 6AM tomorrow.. got an 8am lesson to attend..

Adieu!

2009-07-28T03:02:00.002+08:00

Need to update more regularly before it becomes dead again.. Okay, let start from Sunday. I went to school. And I know, alot of people will say, AGAIN!? Haiz.. it's not like I want it, I've got to go to help out for a school event called SPGG. I bet most of the students in SP don't even know what's SPGG. Brief intro: SPGG = Singapore Polytechnic Grduates' Guild, for those who don't know. On sunday, I have to wake up at like 6am!! Be at school at 8.30am, but I feel like I was cheated.. I went there on time, which was really rare for me and I was told that there's a briefing at around 9.15am.. but the real event start at only 10am.. there's nothing much to do there anyway. I was sitting down, reading my comics while taking care of the bouncer for 1 whole day. Been seeing kids jumping inside, okay, quite fun, looking at them play, but it let me think that I've got no childhood.. cause I never played before.. I wonder what I did when I was young too.. And I was dismissed at only like, 6pm? Somewhere around that time. I went home, had Subway with HL and spent quite a long time in a particular shop.. which cost a bomb due to something I bought.. I've got to maintain it before I regret.. Need to last for at least 1 year! I hope it does too..

Next, on monday, law lecture, as usual, I was late... At least not too long, only 30 minutes, better than last week. There's improvement! Got to buck up, need to be better next week. So after the law lecture and tutorial, I went to foodcourt 2 for Mac, ate the ususal, Mac chicken.. HATE the revived shaker fries! It taste like don't know what, just don't eat it! Good advice, just listen to it. Yeah, saw Jia Wei today, caught him eating Mac. Haha! And he don't like that ewww fries too, great taste as me! After that, went to construction lecture, learnt about choosing materials, okay, quite normal.. Now, got to talk about to do list: Drawing tutorial (perspective drawing of a booth) due date, tomorrow ':)', Materials stage ppt (Fashion week model, for my group) due date, wed ':)'! Research on my ONOW dialogue session question which I had to ask the minister on wed! Drop dead, I'm dead, why?Why?WHy?WHY!? I don't want to ask.. but got no choice.. See the wonderful deadlines I have for my to do list, though that's only a part of it, I only put in the ones for his week, and maybe there'll be more to add.. Maybe I'll stop here, got to sleep, before I'm real LATE for tomorrow... お休み

I'm BACK!! Check it out!

2009-07-18T01:53:00.003+08:00

After soooooooooooo long, I'm finally back. Okay, where shall I start? Hm.. ok, lets start from what happened on June Holiday!

1st week of June Holiday: I spent the while week doing my ONOW, the CIP! It's fun and interesting as I was given an opportunity to do a community project all myself. We had no aid from lecturers, we had to fnid an organization ourselves, liaison with the organization, planned an event which would benefit the organization. So I spent the WHOLE WEEK doing the CIP. Bringing them to Pasir Ris park, did some activities with them, it was a totally new experience for me. I find it really benefitting, and I had learned alot from this activity. I enjoyed it very much ;)

2nd week of June Holiday: Erm.. let me think.. I met up with my group and started doing our stage project. It's like finally for us! Other groups had been meeting up to do the stage but for our groups, we had only just started, I feel that we're somehow behind time.. The meetings for the stage went quite well, from my point of view. During the weekends, we were occupied with the SIWF! It's good in some ways and BAD in some ways too, I've got a mixed feelings. What I liked about the event is that, I could be involve in a section of the event with my friends and we had to work together, helping out one another, to accomplish the duty. Some form of teamwork is involved in the duty. The best thing about the event was the Superparty! I liked the free flow of food and drinks. Especially the dessert there, I loved it! The pudding was really cooling and refreshing. The bad thing that I hated was that I had to carry alot of heavy equipmentd and I've been locked up in an enclose lorry, which had all those equipments inside! One of the raft almost fell on my head! Luckily my classmates and I reacted quickly, if not, I'm going to be Mr Bump! I felt that the school was being such a miser for using the volunteers for loading and unloading the heavy equipments, and with only one lorry! Why can't the school employ a delivery company for helping us in the logistics!!?

3rd week of June Holiday: I continued meeting up with my stage group members and proceed on doing the stage from where we had stopped last week.

1st week after school reopen: I got back my term 1 test results!! I did okay for my 2 modules but I failed 1 of my module, which was LAW I! Argh!! Just one law module spoil my result, I hate it! Anyway, I found out that we only had to finish the CIP during Aug, but we finished it early, so it was a good thing as we could have more time for our other modules project.

2nd week after school reopen: I had to do a presentation on the drawing on-site visit with my group, we did a presentation on the YOG volunteers event which was held at EXPO, Hall 4b.

3rd week after school reopen: I had to do a logo design assignment with my group, Shuzhen and Le Qi. 'We' had to design some logos according to the assigned theme which was stated in the tutorial. After 'we' had design some logos, we did a short presentation of the logo that we had chosen, with a short write up of not more than 30 words about the logo that we had decided to use. On thursday, I went to school late.. and I haven't done the assignement that I was told to do the last week. Anyway, somehow, I completed it after the lesson and had submitted them. Next, we had an event experience presentation, which was on friday. We had do a ppt on waht we had done for the SIWF, and some suggestions that we could had improve on. It was real hectic this week. I learned new thing in school everyday, so it's enriching for me ;)
Something bad happened.. I overslept on friday and missed my IT module 4 hours lesson! OH NO! I'm like dead.. it's a first time for me that I had missed a lesson.. I'm not going to let that happen again, hopefully..

Oops, forgot to end my post again..　さよなら

2009-06-06T13:12:00.002+08:00

Freedom!! Test are finally over, BUT it not the end :'(. There's still PROJECTS!!! Haiz, just when I thought the Hells are over, it's still hiding behind me, creeping out to scare me even on holidays!! Oh no, I wonder when will i get to finish my tons of Hells!! I've got so many projects to do, that are due on somewhere near the school reopen! There's no end to it, I'm going to go back to my no life routine again! I wish I have the time to read my manga and anime again... the long break after the O'levels is still a dream to me! I wish everyday could be like that, but it's still no life.. Lol! Now still no CCA, need to get one soon. I got to go do my law assignment now, which is due on monday, need to stop here le :O

2009-05-17T22:02:00.002+08:00

As for today, I went to my 1st japanese stage 2 lesson today. I met Hui Ling at the mrt station in the morning and we walked all the way to Chong Pang CC. We got there early and went to bought bubble tea, hehe. After that we went for out 1st lesson, there was only 5 students, haha, so glad. For the 1st lesson, we recap about we learnt in stage 1. We learnt about sentence marker, and the verbs used in forming a sentence. It was quite fun, but abit stress.. After the lesson ended, I rushed home for the family gathering for the mother's day which was held at Bedok! It's so far away... and right after the event, we went for dinner at Ang Mo Kio. It was so tiring.. travelling here and there... Now, I just got home and started to blog my busy day. 終わり。

2009-05-17T14:39:00.003+08:00

Hm.. yesterday, which was my birthday, I went to ICE SKATING!!! I met Hui Ling at the mrt station, and we went to register for the Japanese Elementary Stage 2. When we got to Chong Pang CC, and asked about the details for the lesson and we found out that the class only have 2 people currently! I was quite happy, because it's a small class, it'll be much more easier for me to ask questions. Later on, Joel suddenly pop up behind us, I was shocked, Lol! After which, we paid the money and walked back to the mrt. We went to the NTUC to bought HL milk, I bought one because there's offer for 2, and then, we trained all the way to khatib to meet Jia Wei and Kenneth. On our way to Kallang, we switched mrt at City Hall and I just knew that Kallang is on the green line, although it's my 2nd time there... I thought it was on the purple line!! LOL!! Next, we ate our lunch at a nearby coffee shop, and took bus 11 (note: not walking!) to the Kallang Leisure Park. There was quite alot of people, since it's during the weekend. Hui Ling, Jia Wei and Kenneth paid for my share, and I didn't know... I was even getting ready for my money and handing it to them. :S, haha. Thank you for the birthday treat, Hui Ling, Jia Wei and Kenneth. Later on, we went to get our skating shoes and started playing! Although it's my 2nd time, but the moment I went into the ice rink, it seems so foreign too me, I guess it's because I haven't been skating for a long time. But after awhile, I got used to it and remembered how to skate, hahas! We played holding one another's hand and skate together, it was so much fun! I pulled/asked Jia Wei to skate with me and I learnt how to balance better skating with him, thanks, Jia Wei. Hehe. We skated with the 4 of us together and when there were people blocking, we went one by one into the small gap in between, with our hands holding to one another, like lining up for queue, haha, it was so exciting! I didn't fall down for my 2nd time, which was a good progress, I guessed. Time flies and it was 4pm, the time was up and we went to pack up to go. After that, my brother called me and asked me to watch the movie, Angels and Demon, at Causeway Point. Hehe, I watched for free again. Luckily I wasn't late! It was tiring travelling the mrt, for about an hour to woodlands. The movie was NICE! It was like racing against time to find the clues of which church their 'enermy' was. After the movie, I went to shop around for a little while, and I saw a pocket watch at comics connection. It was so cool, I wanted it when I first saw it. But I hesitated abit, and went to look for more chioce of items. Later on, we went back home and had my dinner. Thats all, it was real busy and tiring, but I had lots of FUN!!

2009-05-16T01:21:00.003+08:00

I'm back!! Haha, after so long and I'm back to posting. Today I went to school as usual, but I WAS LATE!!! LOL! I still walked to the mrt and board the train like normally! Squeezed inside the train and rode to Dover. Still walking at normal pace to my classroom :P. The IT lesson was super COLD!! It's freezing me up! I was 'thawed' when the lesson was over. After that was lunch time ^^ I went to foodcourt 3 and had a bowl of Ebi ...(I forgot what) don. Next, I went for event experience lecture and there's another assignment, which is going to due next week!! I wonder when will I have a day when I finish all my homework... Hiaz.. After that, I went to celebrate my post birthday with my friends, we had fun till the night, it was around 10.10pm when we went home :P Haha, today was so packed, but an eventful day. I'll stop here if not I'm going to be late for my birthday celebration tomorrow. Hahas, お休みなさい.

2009-03-26T22:27:00.004+08:00

Today? I did nothing today.. I watched the anime, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's, it was from where I stopped yesterday. I rushed through the 1st season and today, I actually wanted to finish the 2nd season but I went out to pay bill for my mother. On my way to return library books too, but as I step into the library, I forgot the time and started to pick up the old books that I had read before, Celestial Zone II. Reading, reading, too engrossed, and when I notice, it was 6pm! Lol, then, I quickly went to borrow some books, after that, rush all the way home. Phew, when I got home, it was still before 7pm, not too late. After that, I continued my anime, now, I left 3 more episodes to go. I didn't learn any katakana today... so sad... got to work harder next day, must catch up with the loss today! I'll stop here, さよなら，またあした。

2009-03-24T01:51:00.004+08:00

Phew... finally completed all the profiles, links and... Check out the etc section for anime and manga previews and introductions. I spent the whole day figuring out all the Html codes, at last, the blog is completed. The drilling noise outside my house was killing me! Due to the renovation work, I'm stuck for the whole afternoon, until evening, when the drilling stopped. I'm trapped for hours, figuring the blog stuffs and went to update myself with the newer manga chapter of Skip Beat! It was finally scanlated!! The story is getting interesting, but waiting for the realease of new chapter is a torture. Haiz, since there's nothing I can do, I've got no choice but to wait. Also, I had learnt another 5 katakana, カ，キ，ク，ケ，コ。 Hehe, it's going well, hope I learnt more tomorrow, maybe by this week I'll finish all the katakana. Lol, abit too ambitious le.. I'll stop here, maybe I'll update more tomorrow. Going off now, bye.

2009-03-23T17:17:00.008+08:00

As requested or asked, my first blog is created and I was figuring out on how to put the skins.. Finally solved, it was so easy, I wasted my time doing it, feels so stupid... What to write, what to do, and the profiles..., I'm still not sure how to do them, but I'll try to figure them out one by one, and update them as time goes by. Maybe more post will be coming up soon, so 拭目以待, most probably I'll post some anime and manga here.
