Finally finished all my project stuff. Finished all my AES, though it looks like shit, don't know what to crap inside. My AES is very short and i really don't know how to crap already, so let's just leave it as it is. I don't wish to do anything more.

Handing up my AES tomorrow. Once i hand in, i can say that i am officially a poly diploma undergrad. Just hope i can pass my FYP, which i feel i should. Not trying to boost my ego here, but i think i really should pass, considering that i have done all the things that i am supposed to do and i completed the projects. Anyway, don't want to talk about this anymore.


********************************************************************************


13 years of education. It's really been a rollercoaster ride for me. I have gotten 3rd in my class before (way back in P1) and i have also gotten 2nd from behind (back to P6). My grades really reflects alot on myself. I guess when you are young, all you have to do is study hard. As time goes by, you find that you aren't really cut out to study, but nevertheless try your best to study hard. Soon, you realised that no matter how much you study, you just can't hit the mark. You get demoralised and discouraged. You gradually lost interest in studying and therefore start to do lots of stupid stuff. For me, yes, i have really done lots of stupid stuff. Cheating (my forte), playing trauncy, fighting (wrestling used to be my past time), defiance and lots more. I guess i'm someone who doesn't know death till you are already half way inside the grave.

My parents always think of me as someone smart but lazy at first. Slowly they changed their opinions. From lazy to hopeless. I guess i made my parents too disappointed in me. Now that i have finally finished school, i guess they can start to feel proud of me again. Throughout the 20 years of my life, i don't think they have even once feel proud they have a son like me. I'm been trying hard to prove it to them, but always ended up in disappointment. They always told me to study hard and give it my best shot in studies, but i always end up not doing my best. For once, i just hope i can really make them feel proud of me, even if it's only for 1 minute. At least for that minute i know my parents are proud of me.

Now, my education milestone has ended. A new chapter awaits me. Hope that in this new beginning, i can really do something great for my parents to have a reason to feel proud of me. That is my simple wish, a wish that was never fulfilled during my school days. Right now, i can only fulfil it in other areas. I don't want my parents to think of me as useless, someone who can't grow on his own. Someone who only depends on others, someone who need guidance all the time. I don't want them to think this way. I have to prove to them that i can do it, i am independant. I am someone who can do things by himself. I'm sure i am. I'm really sure.

Well, guess i should stop here. For all my friends who happen to read this, think about what you have done to make your parents or friends feel proud about you. Take a minute to think.

THANKS TO ALL MY BUDDIES AND PALS FOR MAKING MY LAST 12 WEEKS SO FRUITFUL AND MEMORABLE!!!


It's been a good 12 weeks filled with laughter. The time which all of us were the most memorable. Going to long lunch breaks, going out for outings, playing mahjong, talking crap, all these will be etched in my memory forever. I will never, ever forget about all the things that we did. Lab mates, val, ger, peggy, zs, leader, ah bang, all of you were the ones who are always filling our labs with laughter. Francois, godwin, ky, bl, huisun, jasmine, they were the ones who always eat and go home together with. To all others who know me during FYP, a big thanks for whatever you all have done.

My school life has ended (not officially as i haven't handed in my AES). No more taking of photographs for my attendance (during FYP), no more long lunch breaks and no more crapping sessions. I will miss all of these. I will miss all of my friends. I will miss everything that i have done. Embarking on my new journey in life, serving the nation. To all of my friends out there, I LOVE YOU PEOPLE! EVERYONE!

Once Wednesday comes and i hand in my project, my school life MILESTONE officially ends. It will be a chapter in my life which i can never forget, as i'm moving on to the new chapter of my life. TO EVERYONE, GOOD LUCK!

Tomorrow will be my last day of FYP. This week has been rather stressed. From Monday to Wednesday, it was just basically doing on the Powerpoint presentation slides and my AES. I was struggling to do as my brains were totally malfunctioning soon. Somehow, i managed to finish my presentation slides.

Today was my presentation day. SUCKS like hell. I think i kind of screwed up my presentation. I was basically blank when presenting and was just reading out what i wrote. John did ask me some questions but i think i managed to make him feel satisfied with my answers. Man, but who cares now, since the presentation is over. Tomorrow will be the Product Demonstration to him. Just hope he don't ask me anymore questions. Anyway, after school today was down to Plaza Singapura with val, zs, godwin, francois, ky, huisun and beeling. Went there and eat Carl's Jr. Then after that val and zs went over to yahama to sign up for the drums course. After they are done, we went on to the arcade and see zs play drum mania and ky play time crisis 4. After that, headed down towards the train station. Before we went home, we took some photos of us. Once we are done, we headed home.

Tomorrow is the last day of my normal school life. Heading on to my next stage of my life. I was supposed to report for my part time job on Monday, but i guess i can't work anymore. I received a letter today. A really IMPORTANT letter. It was the letter from the SINGAPORE POLICE FORCE. The letter states, "Medical Examination for the Post of Police Officer". Yeah, i was asked to go for the 2nd medical assessment. The checkup is on next Monday, 28th August 2006. If i pass this test, most probably i will be heading in to the SPF soon. I just hope i won't be sent to report for the October phase. If i am, then my holidays will be spoilt. Big Time. However, i actually kind of wanted to get in earlier so it's really kind of okay. Yeah man. Been waiting for a long time. Finally got reply. Just hope i am able to make it in. It's like a dream come true for me.

I'm kind of lazy to do my AES now, considering that i can hand in next week, which i think i will probably do. I'm just left with a bit to do but i'm kind of really lazy right now. Try to finish my AES at this weekend. Then once i hand in my AES next week, i'm really a free MAN. Okay, i think i shall stop here for now. I'm kind of tired now. Haven't been sleeping well this few days. Stopping now.

Went out to orchard on thursday with my lab mates (val, zs, ger, peggy, leader and junbang). we originally went out to cineleisure to catch a movie but too bad we didn't find the movie that we wanted to watch so in the end, we went to takashimaya's ajisen ramen to eat. After eating we went up to kinokuniya to walk around. at about 9.30pm we headed to wheelock's starbucks to chill out. val suggested we play "true-or-dare". We really laughed like we were a bunch of crazy people, but of course we knew quite alot of secrets from each other. then after that headed home with val, zs, ger and junbang. they got off at outram park and val got off at clementi. then i was the last to reach home.


Friday. Played mahjong cards during lunch break. After school, went over to school's mac and eat because godwin wants to eat in school. Went over to mac and continued playing mahjong cards. At about 7.30pm, godwin suggested to go PS so we (val, zs, godwin, ky and francois) went on ahead. zs went on to check out on drum lessons and then we headed over to PS arcade. after awhile, went down to Zone-X at dhoby ghaut. at about 10pm, we suggested to walk to city hall but in the end went in to the Cathay in search of some "Ben & Jerry". We didn't eat at all but went down to the basement and val suggested to play "true-or-dare" again. i think she really enjoys this game. I played this game many times and realised that not many people will choose dare and take true instead. We knew more secrets that we never knew if we didn't play this game. zs went off earlier at 11.40pm as he's afraid to miss his train while the rest of us continued played till 11.55pm and we almost missed our last train home. val, godwin and ky take other alternatives while me and francois took the last train home. Reached home at about 1am. ate my "dinner" at 1 plus and slept at about 2.30am today.

Woke up at 2pm and now here am i blogging. Intend to play basketball but the weather doesn't seem right. Maybe i should just head over to the court now. That's all for now. Shall stop here today.

Remember when we were little kids, we always wanted to grow up quickly and become a GROWN-UP or ADULT. We always thought that turning into an adult will be cool as we get to do lots of things that little kids can't.

When we finally turn into a FULL GROWN ADULT, we wish that we were forever little kids, living everyday without any troubles. We don't need to bear any responsibility of what we do and we can just do whatever we want without any worries that we were be thrown to jail.

I'm sure most people will think the same way that i do some point in their life. Like some of my friends always say, "Oh no, i'm getting older already. How i wish i can return to my 6 year-old self?". Well, we have to face the truth. No matter what we do, we can never get back and even if we do get back, what do you want to do? Wish that you can get old again? If that's the case, i see no point in going back to the past.


So people, given a choice, would you want to :

a) go back to your past and live your childhood again?

or

b) continue with your current life?


For me, i would choose B even so much so that my life in A is much more interesting. Don't try to ask me why i chose B because i can never give a good answer. The only reason i can think of is that i'm accepting reality. I'm accepting the fact that getting old is part and parcel of life. There's really no way you can try to go back to your past and live it again. Since we can't live our childhood life again, we might as well live our current life to the fullest without regrets so that next time when we get even older, we won't say something like, "i wish i was 20 again."

So people, live your life to the fullest everyday. I'm sure you don't want to live till when you are 60 over years-old you come to regret and say, "i regretted not doing this when i was 20 years old." If you know that you will regret not doing something, you might as well try to do it. It's better to do it now than only regretting it when you can no longer do the thing again.

Think about it people. The decision lies in your own hands. The future is yours to create.


P.S.: This is just my 2 cents. If you really disapprove, go ahead. I won't stop you.

BORED!! REAL BORED!!


today is yet another boring day. woke up at 3pm due to my dad's singing again. my dad can keep singing a song over and over again without getting bored. even i got sick hearing the song. but somehow he can just manage to sing it repeatedly.

did practically nothing at home. feel like going out but somehow i just feel so lazy to go out. contradicting.


went over to my friend Jier Her birthday party yesterday. it was fun and alot of people was there. there was actually another friend whose birthday was really yesterday while Jier her birthday is tomorrow. so we just celebrated together. i think i have quite alot of friends who had their birthdays in august. need to spend alot of money to buy presents. even though we shared money to buy presents together, it was still quite costly, but i think it's alright considering birthdays are annual events right?

that's all i have to say for now. just hope i can post my message up. blogger's been giving me problems the whole afternoon.

FIREWORKS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL, ONLY TO BE BLOCKED BY TREES AND LAMP POST.


went to esplanade to see fireworks yesterday. after school, we went over to bishan to eat first. ate the famous "Ming Kee" chicken rice. after that we went in to the arcade to play for awhile before hitting over to esplanade. when we reached esplanade, it was hell lot of people. squeezy and damn humid. i was sweating even before i went in the bridge. we slowly walked and looked for a spot where we can see the fireworks. we found a spot outside one of a pub at the merlion there. we stopped there and decided to just view the fireworks from there.

the fireworks began and everything was just so beautiful. everybody was just like, "WOAHH!!!". it was just so beautiful. it lasted about 15 minutes. after that we (me, val, zs, ky, godwin, ger, peggy, kelly, jasmine and peggy's 2 friends) stayed for a while before moving off to marina square for drinks.

after that, it's time to go home. one of peggy's friend parted with us at marina square. then ky parted with us at city hall as he was walking back home. val and zs parted with us at city hall while the rest of us took the train back to marina bay before going back. ger and i was the first to get off at dhoby ghaut. sent ger home as it was rather late.

i missed the last train back to dhoby ghaut after sending her home. so no choice i have to call my brother to send me home. waited for 1 hour and 15 minutes before my brother finally arrived. reached home at about 1.45am. then went to bath and got the videos that jasmine took during the fireworks. then it was bedtime at 2.30am.

woke up today at about 12.30 today. can't seem to sleep anymore. got up, surf the net and now blogging. i must have woke up too early. my brain seems to be lagging. anyway, going to my friend Jier Her birthday celebration later at 6pm. stopping here for now. i will try to post up pictures of the fireworks once i manage to get hold of more photos. alright shall stop already.

HAPPY 41ST BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!!!!



Today is Singapore's 41st Birthday!!! LET'S WISH HER A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!


woke up at about 2.30pm in the afternoon today, thanks to my dad and his "LIVE" concert. well, that is what happens whenever its a public holiday or weekends. with my dad around, i will have to bear with the 3 to 4hours of "LIVE" performance. lucky thing today is that his friends are not around, if not it would have been a "WORLD TOUR" instead. alright enough about that.

monday was rather alright. with school as usual. then during lunchtime went over to amk for lunch and went over to arcade to play. then after that back to school to continue with my imf project. after school, we initially wanted to have "BAK CHOR MEE" at braddell, but what we didnt know is that its closed on MONDAYS. man, talk about a letdown. so in the end, we (val, jasmine, bl, ky, godwin, francois and me) went to toa payoh to have our dinner instead. went home after that. bath, surf net, watch television then off to bed.

tuesday. school again. wondering why polytechnic has no "HALF DAYS" like secondary or primary school. we are also students. how come we dont have this kind of priviledge. went over to amk again for lunch, but i didnt eat then. after school, was initially supposed to go KTV with friends but somehow cancelled due to low response. so in the end rotted at home for a whole day. bath, watched CSI, then surf net till 2am and off to dreamland.

today seems rather boring as well. public holiday seemed like a normal sunday. going out for dinner with my secondary school BROTHERS later. shall stop here for now. take care everyone. enjoy your public holiday.
