Term break

Well it's week 8 and term break.
It kinda sux to haf the term break on diff weeks wif the nus ppl.

Well, there're things to be done this week, as always.

1. 2 reports
2. Catch up wif online lects
3. All the tutorials which I nv do
4. Hopefully a singing session

Watch Amelie last week during magical realism. Quite a nice film.
It's basically is about finding simple pleasures in life.
The last 'arts' film I watch was Pan's Labyrinth. (I wonder if PL can also qualify under magical realism?) Still rmb that I got semi-bluffed into watching it -_-.

Lastly, I'm going to recycle most of my last sem report for working in 21st century. Hope I dun get mark down for plagiarising my own work!

Or well, here it goes...

Sch... :(

It's been 3 weeks of sch. I was early for all days till my frens doubt I was the real JJ, then ytd it finally ended. Hope that wun be the start of my late streak.
I'm officially lagging behind again. Everythings seems so hard.

I got a literature elective. Magical Realism. JJ<--->Lit?
Something is wrong with the relationship...
I bought a novel for the elective only to find out the lecturer's copy is half thickness of mine. My oh my...

I would have drop it, if I could get forensic sci or wat... The only time I saw ppl drop FS, I was so excited and slapping 99 and monitor and with blink of the eye it's gone. -_-
Self-pwned...

Now back to my online lectures...

Stayover

Meet up with the front party at clementi MRT at 1pm. Seeing yy and lr name on the list which zl sms, I planned to reach at 1.15.
But when I reached at 120, I was the last. Cause only got zl, and Evil, and surprise appearance by (ex)rabbit. So cant really blamed me, cause according to the list, and JJ's super zhun predictions, he wun be last.
But ppl count, is worse than heaven count.(Chinese proverb)
*Dam, now need to come up with new nickname for the ex-rabbit. So mafan. Shd temp call him ex-rabbit for now till i come up wif a new idea*

Rabbit underwent a successful surgery on his protruding upper jaw to be a ex-rabbit.
We were not too used to his new look, and he looks weird (to us).

We ate at KFC. And then ppl slowly add in.
Time + x: 1 person arrive + he haven eat.
Time + x + y: 1 more person arrive + she also haven eat.

We gif up waiting and shop for the potluck first without the late comers.
As usual, there was some 'fighting' over wat to buy.

At stellar, we prepare the food while 'fighting' again. -_-
We fight over the use of the one and only knife.

After that, play play and play.
Hao arrived with his fren's wii and we had so much fun wif it.
Would be even better if there's 4 controllers.

At night we play pictionary. Due to JJ's supreme drawing, no 1 can guess wat he drew. Ha.
Then we switch to werewolf since it's getting late and we wan to reduce the noise.
3 rounds of it, and JJ is all killed within 3 turns and they dun let me watch wo cai. T_T
After that is dota for the guys. And more wii for the gals.
I played wii wif the gals btw, cause I dun own a laptop. (Rmb the feed JJ fund?)

2nd day was basically the same with wii and pictionary. The tennis and swimming session nv materialise. Bluff chewren. But quite dangerous to swim, cause later swim halfway fall asleep =x. (I slpt 2h)
Soon it was getting dark and was time to go.
Thx zl for being a fine host.Cya all soon again.

(Self reminder-->collect $8 from zk for the food.)

This week last week

Last week of holiday is so sian!
Not sian of holiday but sian that sch is starting again....

Tue was my 2nd IPPT attempt. Feeling jingly whole day with many hu die jie jie in my stomach. (Translate: many butterflies in my stomach)
The nervous bug bit me till I lost my sense of hunger. But my logic tells me I need to eat to get energy.

Waited for EY at clementi to take the IPPT tgt. Saw 1 ge hao ren while waiting.
Haha, he wearing all black trying to act hip hop.
430pm go sch say hand in assignment, shd be beo new batch of xmm. Hehe...

The IPPT wait was damn long. We reach at 5. 530 then start briefing. We 2nd detail, 6pm then start to take static stations -_-
During the wait, I saw a uncle selling food beside the training center. And got Ippt-takers go and buy... Ling fen (0 pt)

As usual, ey and I took sbj first.
1 guy in front of us wear bicycle attire go take IPPT, but epic fail. Think he pull a muscle. Jump 1st time about 180cm then fall down hold his leg, then still wan to jump 2nd time. Then fall down and hold his leg again -_-"
Relax man, take again next time (if there is)
In the meantime I tok cock wif a CAT Y uncle, b4 me, about his 'uniform'.
"Why he wear like going to ride bicycle?"
"Maybe is his 战服? Wear liao got more morale?"
"Or later his 2.4 using bicycle?"
Haha...

My turn to jump, 1st jump 230.
"Dam, I cursed under my breath." (I need to jump 234 to avoid doing 12 pull-ups)
2nd try, I breathe in and 呵! (a sound of using force)
I landed and see the scoreboard 243! 5pts!
But I feel a backward force and had to put my hand behind to support.
"NO..... Eh, how come still 243?"
I turned and look behind, my hand was on the side panel which dun detect scoring. I stole a glance at the PTI, he dun seems to haf any issue. So I happily jump off the board. YES!

The other stations go juz as planned as finally there was only the 2.4 left.
I was starting to feel weak from the earlier stations. Abit low blood sugar. (Happens to me quite often) Heck it, juz run.
1st round 140 !_!
Wat in the blue world I run so fast for.
Sign of exhaustion kick in at the 3rd round when i starts to run 2min. OMG, need to buck up, cause walking(running) on the thread now. 4th round 159 -.-"
Activate reserve energy, nitro on, chiong last 2 rounds.
Final score 1125. SILVER!

Poor ey miss his silver by 9s. He ask me if it's worth it.(Training for 1month after ICT to get $100 more.) Right after the run, the answer was definitely a NO. But if u look back after a few days, u think to urself. It wasnt that hard after all. As long as u train regularly, (almost) every1 shd be able to attain a silver.

In the meantime, maybe the $100 stay in my bank till the next time I see 'godma' (my braces' dentist which 1 treatment cost $110) T_T

This week, they started painting the white foundation for my flat. (They repainting the whole neighbourhood)
This morning they knock on my window at 830. "Halo, halo!"
They were hanging outside my unit. Patriotic dad nv keep the sg flag inside, so the son need to be awaken, so his sister can continue to slp in the next room. *Insert spolit brat rolling on floor animation*

Tmr going zl house for potluck + stayover + countdown to national day(ya, right). Haha, hope it will be fun. It's the last event b4 sch starts. BOO! And I only got 1 elective! ROAR!

Malaysia trip + recent

Being back from mysia for 1 week already.
Basically go there eat eat eat and shopping.

First time enter casino. Go there open my eyes and smell smoke -_-"
Why cant I close my nose? Smell till headache, then when we wan to go out cant find exit.
Took us about 20min b4 we could leave(from the pt when we decided to leave)
The fog in genting smells of smoke too. Maybe due to indonesia haze?
But genting is still cooler than wat I had expected. Lucky I brought my sweater, nv act hero.
The arcade there changed alot. Very few joystick games left which sadly are my fav.
That night we went bowling. First round I lost till drop pants T_T
2nd round I got flair get 120+, still 2nd last -_-"
The 3 who won me, won by less than 10pins. Totally motivated not to lose to me. (why so srs!)
Then we went tabao supper, I wan to drink mac milkshake, but bo (next day find out, the other outlet got -_-)

We went back room eat then play abit of casino's style blackjack. I lost.
Time to slp. The 2 asses took 2 pillows each(we 3 ppl share 1 rm). I have to wrestle 1 for myself, then got 1/3 of a blanket. EVIL took 2 pillows and 1 blanket for himself and roll in it. Totally FRENLY! So I shivered 50% thru the night.

So on the next day on the bus ride to KL, I slpt like a log, while EVIL complained of being nauseous due to the bus ride. Haha, karma.
In KL we went shopping in mid valley smthing. The layout is like marina square.
We walked for 5h there settling our lunch, teabreak, dinner and tabao supper there.
We play blackjack after supper in room and I lost again.

Last day was the eclipse, but I slpt thru it =x. After breakfast went go the nearby berjaya time square for last min shopping. I finally bought a berms and we ate 3 dollar mac value meal(our cheapest meal in mysia). Haha.
And soon we are on our way back to sg.

Last sunday had a sec class gathering. Sau Yan is back from HK, Ying Yi from US, lix from australia.
So we gathered for tok cock session.
At night I accompany sy to meet another yy, pt and lynn. Lol, sy shy boy, dun dare to tank 3 gals on his own. After dinner we walked ard and saw jx + ey and we stall on the middle of the pavement for 5min for quick chitchat.
Haiz, sy will be leaving sg back to hk today(wed), such a short stay :(

And recently I'm be actively training in order to get my silver for Ippt. (bo bian spend alot, need to kope some back from gahmen)
You have successfully booked a test session at MAJU FCC test center on 04/08/2009 commencing at 1700 hrs.
Guards have such imbal ippt standards, which I felt unjustified, especially after ORD.
Well that's nothing I could do to change it, so wish me luck!

Record breaker

Hi, I broke a record. (Yay!)
I went out for 4 consecutive days from monday to thursday. (Ok, lousy record)
But they are more or less the same ppl. Haha...

Monday went cooking-bowl buffet in suntec.
Happen to meet clint there.
While most of my frens are chomping on crabbys' leg. I eat rice. (I is rice bucket)
That's 1 of the reason I was undeciding for this outing. (FOR MY FRENS!)
So rabbit and I tasted about 80% of the dessert available there.
$40 Dessert buffet -_-"

Tuesday go book travel agency for Genting/KL trip.
Thx boss for sponsoring the trip. *Wave to boss*
"Cannot?"
"The most I pay u back in RM(1:1). Keep the change!"

Wednesday go town walk walk. Some1 bluff me say ION open liao. Walk to there only few expensive shops (read LV) opened. Saw benny and eileen wearing the LV shirt. (!_!) And eileen waving quite hard at me, lol, muz be too excited to see me after 2yrs. Shy1.
Then we walk back to orchard central and take many long escalators overseeing the road.
It was till then, I realised KO got fear of height. *Evil grin*
The layout inside was quite messy, and they haf a indoor rock climbing wall. (I haven did rock climbing since secondary sec)
Walk to tcc near PS. 1st time go. The drinks are quite nice, thou i prefer a stronger mint flavour in my mint choc frappe.
Nite go back JP watch transformer. Think it's ok-ok only --> 3-3.5 stars.

Thursday accompany rabbit to zhng his new com at SLS. We shop abit at bugis.
I bought bday present for my sis. At the cinema there, so many ppl ask me do survey.
In the end 2 ppl ask me 2 times times. I got asked a total of 5 times.

Here is an abstract of my dialogue wif them. X is her, J is me.
X: Which sch u from?
J: NTU
X: Ah, I'm from NTU too, wat course?
J: Mech
X: *Give a blur look, ?_? (mac?)
X: Are u taking part-time jobs?
J: No.
X: What about giving tuition?
J: I either kill the kid or the kid drive me up the wall first.
X: ...
X: So is it possible for u to save $75 per month?
J: If I eat more grass.
X: ......... Ok, thx u.
Ok, so sometimes JJ isnt very frenly. But I'm honest in my answer :)

We wanted to catch Ice Age, but only got 1 slot and we missed it.
Then we went over to Iluma, the timing for Ice Age is too late.
In the end we caught Harry Potter which sux!
Too much romance, too much talking, too few action. BORING! 1 star.
So after 2.5h of agony, we went back to collect the assembled com, had dinner then siam.

And tmr, I'll be going malaysia after like 5 yrs? Haha, it's been a long time. Hopefully it will be a wonderful trip. That's all.

ICT updates

Hi all, I'm back from my 13 days ICT since last friday.
It's been a freaking shag experience....

As of planned, I reported sick on the first day and got 2 days attend B.
But I joined all the trainings other than the 3km route march, so my status was abit for show.
I was more or less recovered by thurs, thou I was abit short of breath. (I breathe like I got asthma when over-exerted, everyone was scared =x)

Thursday was outfield. It rained the moment b4 the exercise starts -_-
Night walk became night atk, and the battalion hollanded!
I believe this was the most shiong day of the ICT.

Luckily the CO still got some conscience and cancelled the IPPT on the next day.

Sat night book out for 24h, which seems like the shortest 24h in my life.

Monday IPPT. I passed, wasnt expecting anything more than that.
I didnt chu any stunt and I didnt roll. Let's see if I'm motivated enouf to go for silver...

Tuesday go for BME with aches all over the body(the after effect from IPPT).
Truly a bad start. Then it rained yet again. Once b4 we left camp, and again juz b4 we reach the destination. Very HENG leh!
As a result, the journey becomes wet and dirty T_T.
We had to cross 3x water obstacles along the way, and urs sincerely tumbled at the last one and jump right into the waist high 'pond'. Saded.

For the BME, my battalion was to vs the other battalion which got best infantry unit during their active period.
We atk the other battalion first, then we swap roles on the following day.
Quite messy.

We won the fight overall, and according to the 2 COs' bet, we got to book out b4 them. Yayness!

Here's the part u all been waiting for.
I shared cab wif evil, lulu and czy back home.
I got a hunch something is not right, on the cab.
After I open the taxi car boot, my fear was cfmed.
I pulled the wrong duffle bag on my way out of camp!!!

So I hailed another cab and tp back to camp.
In camp, I tried to call out to the owner, but he was no whr to be found.
So I put the bag near the place whr I pulled it from. And pulled my real bag home.
Haiz, I know u wun be reading this, but I am truly sorry if I cause you any inconvenience, James. (I cant rmb his full name)

Wat a happening end to my ICT -_-"
