    Driving License

    Deepest apologies people, i passed my driving on first attempt on monday.

    It all happened on monday late afternoon, and the experience was unforgettable really. I was apologetically dressed due to the wardrobe disaster, hoping the tester will not be looking out for urbane manner people.

    Finally i was ushered into the test room, and the balloting of test route started.  With God's grace i was balloted test route number eight, the one that i had most most practice on, unfortunately the longest one too.

    In a matter of time, my name was announced and i was asked to proceed to car number nighty four, my test car. The tester hopped in and ask me to proceed on.

    Although the first thing i should do is to start the engine and check the appropriate mirrors, instead i went to touch my tester on his shoulder and exclaimed

    Cai: Good to see your sir, really!

    My bad x1, it was a wrong move to ease the tension, because he gave me a super stern face and ignored me, siao liao really.

    Went through the circuit with many mistakes, even my left leg was shivering while holding the clutch. I tried to ease the tension that's building up in the car, before the parking started, i just had to talk.

    Cai: Sir don't you need to get down to time me?
    Tester: I want to get down is my own business, you just concentrate okay!

    My bad x2.

    Finally it was time to roll outside, and on first look, the traffic seems congested during the late afternoon. Changing lane was tough for me for one part, but i managed to do it smoothly. However when i was approaching a U-Turn, i had to change back to the right lane, this time it was tough.  The instructor finally spoke with words of advice "okay, go in now, i say go in now!!!" *Point point at the lane.

    Depressed the accelerated with the loud revolution sound humming, and i managed to change lane, cheers. Once again i tried to clear some smoke, and i tried starting a topic.

    Cai: Sir, during this time, the traffic very bad one ar?
    Tester: I don't know, you ownself see can?

    My bad x3, failed horribly.

    Drove back to the driving center via the highway, and proceeded back up into the test room awaiting the result.

    Settled down with the tester on a old school wooden table and the conversation started rolling.

    Tester: You made alot of mistakes you know? The slope and never slow down at traffic light etc.
    Cai: Yes sir, and sorry about it.
    Tester: Don't say sorry, no use already! Are you studying now?
    Cai: Yes sir, i am currently studying in the polytechnic.
    Tester: Okay, i want to give you 22 points (getting above 20 means fail) due to all your mistakes. However, i think you deserve eighteen, you passed.
    Cai: *Dumbfounded.

    I was handed the assessment checklist with passed checked.

    Circuit
    Require additional movement during parking - 2 points
    Fail to confirm safety during parking - 4 points
    Roll backwards less than 1 meter at a slope/gradient - 2 points

    Road
    Delay in moving off - 2 points
    Insufficient acceleration - 2 points
    Veer off course when checking blindspot - 4 points
    Wide turn at a junction - 2 points

    Total - 18 points (Passed)

    Just returned home after picking up my sister from the driving center using my Dad's car. Cruising down the road with nice emo music at the background, sorry sorry.

    Driving lessons (practical and theory) - $2100, Provisional Driving Licence - $25, Passing the overall practical test on first attempt - Priceless.

    Drive drive drive

    Baby oh my, finally school has ended and i'm imposed with a 5 day study break in preparation of the final exams, which unfortunately starts on the following saturday.

    Personally i am already rather worn out, and disgusted with work and the Mcdonald's scent. How i wish, there will be someone to motivate me, or maybe shower me with some tender love. February the fourteen how?

    At half past four in the afternoon tomorrow, i will be sitting in a Honda Civic with a traffic police beside me. Yes, tomorrow's my final driving practical test, and the thought of it just sends sharks swimming through my veins.

    I'm not carrying much high hopes, although i want to pass badly. However it's important to realise that they have a certain quota to meet daily. People of young age like me has no reason to drive compared to the older people, who needs a driving license in order to feed a family.

    Let's see what happens tomorrow then, i'll just do my best and present myself in a urbane manner to strike a good impression.

    Maybe i should drive the tester to the nearby Singapore Pools, drop him off to buy the car plate number.

    *Hazard light, pull handbrake and put on neutral gear.
    Cai: Eh uncle, can help me buy 0000, 2 big 2 small, ah thank you ar. Here cannot park car, i drive one round, later come and pick you up okay?

    By the way people, do you know what's the in the world?

    The Singapore Traffic Police only posses a Subaru WRX, while the Italians have the Lamborghini.

    1: Lamborghini Gallardo

    From the country that has the world’s greatest concentration of supercar manufacturers comes the world’s fastest cop car. Yes, the lucky Italian cops have a Lamborghini Gallardo at their disposal, a genuine police car used by the Italian Carabinieri to patrol the Salerno-Reggio Calabria highway outside Rome. Prime hunting ground indeed, because its 5.0-litre V10 will grant it 193mph flat out and a tarmac-ruining 0-60mph time of around four seconds. But it isn’t just a patrol car for chasing wrung-out Fiats, Alfa Romeos and the occasional Ferrari. The Police-liveried Gallardo also doubles as a super-fast response car, with the ability to be the first on the scene of a serious accident.

    It carries life saving medical equipment such as a defibrillator to revive car crash victims, and is used as a high-speed shuttle to transport organs between hospitals. Best of all is that with four-wheel-drive sending all 500 horses into the road, the Gallardo patrol car can be used all year round in all weathers.

    Baby it's fact, our love is true.

    Power Wash

    Actually there's loads of time to maunder tonight, because i am officially left with one task in hand, and it's none other than the mass transfer common test two on friday. The sky is clear, it's going to be such a pity to study it away.

    A close female friend contacted me yesterday and enquire about my february the 14th, and indirectly asked if i was free. She mentioned about not wanting to wander around the street alone, getting mocked by cuddling couples. Same situation over here actually, i have a heat and mass paper transfer on that day, how great?

    It's a blessing in disguise la huh, as i do not have any girlfriend and studying will be the best excuse i can give. If i really really find a perfect hot sexed up date, books can put aside la huh. Date after the paper, plus i do not have a paper on the following day.

    Well, it still leaves me with one major problem, who shall i ask? Siao liao lor. 15 more days to go, time will tell.

    Cai: Let me tell you one of my 2007 new year resolutions, i cannot be single no more.
    Friend A: You sure? No joke?
    Cai: Okay, i got a feeling i'll have the same resolution the following years, sulk.

    Okay, that was random. Final year exams are in around one week time, and i've yet to really prepare myself for the big day. Which simply means, it's time for hardcore, i mean no joke type studying.

    After that i will head for a power wash and prepare for chinese new year.

    Below shows a picture of Power Washing at 188 Suffolk Street, East Village, New York, NY. Captured by Trevor Little. The buildings are darkened by the excessive pollution, while my face will be appalled by the excessive equations/paragraphs within these three weeks.

    Figures A and B, means you and me.

    Carrot Head

    David enlisted for the army today, i'm not going to dissimulate under my false smile because indeed i'll be missing him. Something's for sure, his close friends will loose something precious for a week or two.

    Frankly, i've been rather busy with school and i'm glad it's able to take my mind off wandering. The analysis of chemical processes common test two came and went with the wind, causing much travail onto me. Surveyed the general participants, and most of them seems to be able to complete properly. They perceive me as someone who does well for most test, i beg to differ, as it's going to be ridiculous for me to score with so many mistakes.

    Next week is the last week of school, and the schedule for me is a perfect illustration of hell. I have HYSIS programme test and chemical engineering lab 2.2 practical test falling on tuesday, a environmental technology prototype presentation on thursday, lastly on friday i will end with heat and mass transfer process common test two.

    With final year exams and driving practical test in a fortnight's time, the intense pressure pounces on me, lalala.

    Proper chinese new year shopping proceeded on after my paper, as i am officially left with a pair of shoes and jeans. Shall not reveal the shoe's brand and design to you, until the stock and everything else is confirm. Be ready to be hynoptised, because i think it's the no joke type.

    The evening today was closed with precise trimming of my hair, and the precise trimming plus chat with the hair dresser cost me $45. There was no before and after, because the before looks exactly like the after, she should award me with a laminated "best customer" certificate inclusive of a thumbs up.

    I'm sure the next time i walk in again, she will rub her hands together with a wide smile, "Wa, shiok la, 菜头来了"

    Yes yes, here comes cai the carrot head, and there's not going to be overweening of pule added here.

    LSCT Soccer Tournament 2007

    Despite the colour grey hanging above me, the ill sun barely shining (maybe it's ), and the chilly wind blowing. I was still heading to campus to take part in the School Of Life Sciences and Chemical Technology (LSCT) soccer tournament.

    It's a event organized by my lecture mates for LSCT, and i had take part not because i was good okay. It was a seven aside with two substitution tournament, and each participant must pay $2 to take part.

    It has been a long time since i played soccer, or even a simple workout therefore i was traumatized to the core. Questions like "what if i cannot run?", "what if i miss a crucial open goal?", "what if my fitness cannot make it?". Indeed all these questions were answered when the first game started.

    For your information, the field condition was totally off due to the recent downpour, as it was pure wet mud especially in the central area. Pungent dung smell triggered our senses but after long exposure we were rather used to it.

    Our first game started, and all i had to do is run and pressure the defense. I was trying my utter best not to think of the mud splashes around me, but the fact was that i'm turning brown.

    Anyway due to a mistake by the opposition defenders, i was able to steal the ball and take a shot at goal. Yes, it was the first goal for my team, but there was no proper area i could slide down to celebrate. If i did that, i might even drown in the mud pool, the condition of the field was that bad really.

    Sharp pain on my head and cramps struck me informing me that i am lack of fitness after the match. With addition to that, i realised i forgot to bring a extra set of clothes to change out. How am i going to head home with that brown ammonia outfit? The taxi uncle will just kick me off the road, and even add a /spit.

    The only solution i finalised was to constantly clean myself up. All the effort trying to make myself look more presentable was smashed by the following match. I was drowning in mud after a slide again, eating some mud along with that. Thoughts about the number of escherichia coli gram negative bacteria the mud contains makes me feel so dirty, i should have worn a space suit for this occasion rah.

    Alas the organizer team won the first price, although some people were complaining "even the referee from his class la". John Doe was the referee for every single match and he seem to have a problem on how to blow a whistle.

    I was definitely not the reason why we won first. All thanks to my other team members who participate enthusiastically and scored all the wonder goals. This tournament serve as a proper warning for me to start chasing back my fitness to an appropriate level before i become a pig.

    By the way, the journey home was very tough indeed, sigh. If you are really desperate for a trophy, you can purchase one at Queensway Shopping Center for a mere $5.50.

    Notice the gold, and don't mess with CBE.

    False Impression

    All the common test results are finally back now, no point prevaricating anymore, so take a quick peep.

    Transfer Process: Heat and Mass - 88 A
    Occupational Health and Safety - 86 A
    Environmental Technology - 72 B
    Engineering Material - 72 B
    Analysis of Chemical Processes - 68 C

    The result can be concluded as my worst so far, obviously telling me to beef up. Time to cajole myself into the study mood, because there's not much time left on my ticking clock.

    Anyhow if you are someone with too much void to fill everyday, i suggest you read . I shall categorize it under a page turner (:

    Why was an elegant lady brutally murdered the night before 9/11?

    Why was a successful New York banker not surprised to receive a woman's left ear in the morning mail?

    Why did a top Manhattan lawyer work only for one client, but never charge a fee?

    Why did a young woman with a bright career steal a priceless Van Gogh painting?

    Why was an Olympic gymnast paid a million dollars an assignment when she didn't have a bank account?

    Why was an honors graduate working as a temporary secretary after inheriting a fortune?

    Why was an English Countess ready to kill the banker, the lawyer, and the gymnast even if it meant spending the rest of her life in jail?

    Why was a Japanese steel magnate happy to hand over $50 million to a woman he had only met once?

    Why was a senior FBI agent trying to work out the connection between these eight apparently innocent individuals?

    These questions/mysteries will be solved upon completion of the book, you will also be brought on a free tour at the States, London, Romania, Russia and Japan.

    Been trying to give the upcoming weeks some serious planning, and i've come to realised that there are loads of important socializing that must be done. One fine example, two of my friends are heading to serve the country like in a few days time, and i've yet to even give them my emotional speech.

    Time to return back to vapid life.

    Happy New Year 2007

    My first entry of the new year, yay i am still alive and kicking. After your serious reflection and if it's highly suggestive that your life serving on earth have not been really meaningful/well/happy, please do not commit suicide. Hello it's year 2007 already, a new year signifies a brand new start for every single one of you, therefore start to inject your life with some good purposes.

    Dinner at the hotel was replaced by a simple steamboat at home due to my extended family visiting us in Singapore from Indonesia. Eight of us could barely sit steadily around the table, but it was body warming ah. My sister bought back a pretty expensive champagne and i had the honor of serving alcoholic drinks once again, it tasted almost like beer though.

    Towards the late night, i spent my last few moments of year 2006 with my cousins, acting drunk and chasing them around. The highlight was the pretty brightly lighted sparkle, that seem to lift the cheeks extremely of the two kids.

    I ended up staying at home for a countdown with my family instead of heading out due to several reasons and it's really pointless to list them down. Shall not pule about it alright, because it's supposed to be a joyous occasion.

    Spent some time jotting down reflective points on a missive towards the night. I shall remain conservative on this missive, yes yes yes it's my personal secrets/changes. If you have any important points for me to change or to reflect on, kindly do let me know kay (:

    Here's a sneak preview of some personal resolutions, don't reprimand me for not sharing.

      • Cai is going to improve on his command of languages and blog entries.
      • Cai is going to spend more time with his A4 size girlfriends.
      • Cai is going to emphasize more on his small social circle.
      • Cai is going to cut down swearing to only one swear word a day.
      • Cai is going to have a better control of his bad temper.
      • Cai is going to start/try to settle down.

    Was year 2006 a good year for you? Currently you have year 2007 laid affront of you, how will you make it better? Think about it.

    Boys Night Out

    Been spending like there's no tomorrow recently, and there's no reason starting a pule or rant here. After yesterday's hardcore spending spree, i am officially starting a refugee camp for my friends to be budget.

    The dinner at over at yesterday was great. The waitress there like Clara or Tazeel were like decorating the place up, and indeed the boys were very distracted with their name tags hanging near the chest area.

    Prima facie we were quite reluctant to spend, but after some serious considerations and persuasions, "aiya just spend la!"

    Placed our orders shortly because early birds get 20% discount hohoho.

    This is what i had:

    Hickory Smoked Prime Rib    $32.50
    A real Tex-Mex smoked flavour. Seared and topped with a Hickory smoked BBQ sauce on the char grill.

    One Red Wine $7
    I have no idea what grape was used to make it though.

    One Ice Water F.O.C
    Just water with ice.

    The steak i had came in medium, while the rest wanted a medium rare. I hate food that are bloody alright, and that's the reason why.

    The meat was tender juicy and sweet, and mine was soaked in BBQ sauce. The salad looks blend without any usual dressing, yet they produce such mouth savoring effects. The pig's tail aka fries reminded me of the curly fries from Mcdonald, nothing special actually. The only problem we had was the red wine, because none of us knew how the heck we should appreciate it. It reminded me of those suffocating claustrophobic effect when we gulp it down our throat, only realising the after taste was quite awful.

    As we are paying $7 for the wine, it was highly suggestive that we shouldn't waste the money. I force down the wine like how i drank shots. From the corner of my eye, i saw Clara laughing at us, the kids rah.

    Barry brought us to a hiking experience, only coming to realised we ended up at DXO's bar due to my recommendation.

    The drinks were good, the long hair girl whom i exchange smiles with was sexed up, Ashley the tiger girl was Ted's eye candy, the free flow peanuts became our throwing darts, the gay in weird suspender dancing to Hips Don't Lie was highly entertaining, the live music made someone emo (i'm not saying who), the eight goals Arsenal match was robbing David's attention for me, the random chats we exchanged with each other were splendid. 

    All in all, the company was hell good although the meal cost me $42 and the drinks cost me around $20.

    Heart you boys.

    Portrait Of Me

    I have a male cousin is who around seven years old and he lives in indonesia. A few minutes ago he pop by my room, sat down on the floor and stared at me with argus eyes while i fondled with the guitar. Placed much more attention to the key and notes i am playing, therefore he creeped out without my notice.

    Soon, the other cousin who is his sister, came giggling in. She kept pointing at the note pad and exclaiming to draw my attention. Position the guitar on my lap like a half asleep new born, and caught a glimpse of the note pad.

    Hello! Since when i am green in colour? Since when i am a stickman? Since when i lost my emo hair? Since when i got elf like ears? Since when my looked like a bowling pin with distorted lines? Since when my peavey amplifier have so many circular knobs with increasing sizes? Since when there's a shit/crap hanging below my roller chair?

    Well well, at least i am not perceive as some big bully monster (like the one attached below) to the kids, *wipe off cold sweat.

    Christmas Eve Family Dinner

    Met up with Dillon in the early afternoon for some last minute Christmas Shopping instead of continuing with my vapid life. Cabbed to and embarked on this quest, the quest objective ain't that facile afterall.

    Objective: You are required to purchase the most appropriate Christmas Gift for your family/friends with the tight budget you have, in order to share your love.
    Time Limit: Four hours is all you have.

    I failed to complete the quest properly because i ended catching up with Dillon. Talking about his life and our friend's life, and then slowly poaching on his darkest secrets.

    Let me touch on what i bought for my parents at the end of the day for Christmas. I bought this high class pu er chinese tea for my tea monomania daddy, a box for dark chocolates to sweeten up my mommy's full of love (naggy) mouth and a for my sister (actually because i like it). I'm officially broke for now because of the extreme core spending this holiday season, and i shall accept the saving money quest willingly.

    Finally it was dinner time, and met up with my family members. Placed a booking for Crystal Jade Dining In at Vivo City in the early afternoon, because i thought it was a pretty posh place. Daddy decided to order the Christmas Eve Set Dinner, with a horrific $98+++ per person.

    1. Neatly roasted char siew with deep fried pork skin attached.
    2. Milkish steamy looking shark fin soup including slimy fish maw.
    3. Slice abalone served with chewy sea cucumber and awfully salty broccoli.
    4. Miniature lobster spread with garlic and salty vegetable.
    5. Cubic sized glutinous rice with random filling.
    6. Hardcore unsweet mango pudding.
    7. Chewy mua chee ice cream ball.

    Prima facie i think it's totally not worth to pay $465.03 for this really normal meal. The food ain't that fantastic and i supposed we are just paying for the sea view ambience right with random people spying outside at us eating.

    Conclusion: Ripped off and we are indeed carrot heads.

    That's not going to ruin my family's happiness for this holiday season for sure. Instead we started planning for the upcoming new year dinner, and most probably we will be heading to Hyatt/Hilton Hotel for buffet.

    Make sure you share your love with everyone tomorrow, don't forget the cleaner that works at your neighborhood, the aunty selling newspaper, your random neighbor (maybe got pretty girl), the security guard, your worst enemies etc.

    Remember to have a merry merry Christmas tomorrow too, and for those watching on Channel 5 please do not get emo. I'm so going to avoid that show, because it will be ruining many people's night, those without love to be exact.

    Last Christmas i gave you my heart, and the very next day you gave it away...

    Without You

    Surprise surprise, all my teeth are still intact. I walked into the consultation room with a extremely upset face and the dentist knew why right away. After some serious discussion and mentioning about the imagery online, the information i got was clear cut. Removing the two teeth will make a total of sixteen millimeter of space, and it will only be able to push my rabbit teeth back by little two millimeter. Normal people like you and me won't be able to notice anything, unless you're some kind of professional. Worth the pain?

    Yes, right from the start the dentist already used an alternative method for my situation, and it's working pretty well. Shall wait another one month and see how it goes, before he makes the decision for me again. I am officially alive and i can continue to be a hearty eater yay (:

    Anyhow i managed to catch on the MTV 2006 Countdown, Top 10 Covers category. It's that kind of song, the lyrics no give chance type. The way he did the cover was simply splendid really.

    Oh I can't forget this evening or your face when you were leaving. But I guess thats just the way the story goes. You always smile but in your eyes, your sorrow shows, yes it shows.
    Oh I can't forget tomorrow, when I think of all my sorrow. When I had you there but then I let you go. And now its only fair that I should let you know, what you should know.
    I can't live, if living is without you. I can't give, I can't give anymore.

    Deepest apologies if this song is going to ruin your wonderful holiday season mood, yes it is indeed the emo type. Click here to watch the video at your own emo risk.

    Can't live? Can't give?

    Tooth Extraction Horror

    Tomorrow marks the start of my long awaited two weeks holiday. Being the usual kiasu (scared lose) boy, i've already gave my holiday a detailed plan out on my . First on my list for monday is to head for a debrief at Holland's Essential Brew, and after that i have to visit my dentist for my tooth extractions. Yes, it is sending chills down my spines, and the imagery online ain't helping to loosen me up at all.

    A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from the mouth. Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons. Tooth decay that has destroyed enough tooth structure to prevent restoration is the most frequent indication for extraction of teeth. Extractions of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth are routinely performed, as are extractions of some permanent teeth to make space for orthodontic treatment.
    Via

    Told you the pictures online ain't helping.

    Yes i am making space for my orthodontic treatment aka braces. During the start, i thought i would want to skip the extraction, but after long deep thoughts it suggested that i should go for a perfect. Therefore, i am going to remove two precious tooth, the one beside my canine, and i am praying that the tooth fairy will be around to comfort me. Rah, i am in need of someone's hand to hold on during the whole dreadful process, sigh.

    From my sources, local anaesthetic will be injected on my face and this is no good because, personally i am rather afraid of needles. Injecting needles on the arm is fine, but on my face? Oh boy, this is indeed a very complicated situation. I'm in serious doubts whether i am ready for it or not, and the feeling of skipping it keeps kicking back on me. Somebody save me please.

    What a way to enjoy the holiday season, in pain pain pain.

    Oh i can't forget this evening, or your face when you were leaving.

    Children Happiness

    Good evening ladies and gentlemen, i am cai and these are my group members. We are a group of students from Ngee Ann Polytechnic and our objective today here is bring some happiness for you.

    Our first stop of the day shall be the Singapore Botanic Garden. We shall be heading for the swan lake, sun garden, orchid garden, and the swiss ball. The next programme shall be dinner at Tanglin Mall's Mcdonald, and you will be offered a happy meal. Seven at the evening will be the avalanche and snowing outside the mall, so please be prepared to get wild wild wet ya? Finally we will be strolling under the beautiful night lights of Orchard Road before heading home sweet home.

    Yes i am officially shagged to the max once again, the children from Melrose home were extra hyper active, no give chance type.

    Although there were naughty, unobedient, hard to control, wild, crazy, playful, mischievous and etc. Telling them to put on their rain coat can take me forever, and in the end some did not even wear. Arranging them to take a group picture can make my blood reach it's bubble point. Asking them not too walk to fast can make my head spin. Getting their attention can turn my hair pearl white.

    Oh boy, but i still love them so.

    Once again the weather was not on our side, always deciding to stop when we took shelter. If it was a hot sunny day, it is highly suggestive that the kids will passed out pretty fast too, pros and cons situation.

    Anyhow love is everywhere, even in the Melrose home. There was this boy named Joseph who is currently studying in Fairfield, and he fell in love with his girl name Hui Yi from Pei Tong. With my experience, i was able to tell that he has a good taste for ladies. Managed to dig out more information about his love for her, and we tried to pull the love line for him. When you are young, you are indeed reckless because Joseph willingly told the crowd about his love. Bad choice? I supposed so, because in return she mentioned to the crowd, that Joseph is a piece of shit, haha.

    All we could do was help him ask if Hui Yi had any feelings for him, unfortunately she's those type of anti boys club one. All Joseph could do was act tough infront of us, i bet deep down inside he is feeling emo.

    In conclusion, i was really glad that we managed to bring some joy for the less fortunate children. When i went around in the coach on our way back to get a general feedback, the children all told me they had fun and they are happy, the smile on their face really soften my heart. I would like to thank all my group members, and especially Eddie and Jasper for making a decision to come down.

    Rah, i'm starting to miss the kids so much.

    Love is in the air, for you, for me, and for everybody.

    Love You In The Fall

    Hooray, common test are finally, i say finally over. I wrote like a eight pages long crap essay today on occupational health and safety. It was a miracle i could crap so much about being safe, simply a eat and vomit situation.

    Everyone left in a hurry to their specific date places, while i had an awful plan to proceed with. My date partner of the day was Taufiq, the event's leader and our location is botanic garden. Mournfully, the weather was not exactly on our side because it was pouring rather heavily. We had to wait at the bus stop for quite a moment before actually proceeding to the garden.

    If my memory did not fail me, it was my second time there, by the way the first time was like when i was back at six or so. The garden itself looked so different after the whole new extreme makeover, with the new walk paths, new attractions, and the mesmerizing scenery.

    Anyhow Taufiq and I took the map and started marking out the route for tomorrow. Just imagine two boys, two different race, laughing and chatting in a garden. Three words to describe it, inter-race gay, no give chance type.

    A malay couple walked past us and mentioned with their projected voice "apa ini?" (what is this?) Rah, there goes our sexyback reputation already. Never mind, i shall keep the details of my event till tomorrow, a detailed entry with schematic shall be included ya (:

    Managed to shop around town for my casual clothing with my sister. Met her below her office at Orchard Emerald, and the company she is working at is so so cool. She currently helping out at the editing section of a man's magazine which will be launch pretty soon. Free trial of Blackberry Pearl phone, cab fees all paid off, private entry for exclusive shops, getting special discount at branded stores, and meeting really big big shots rah.

    Remember to visit my blog tomorrow for a entry on my event. In case you still do not know what the event is about, well i'm actually bringing orphans to the botanic garden for a walk, tanglin mall's happy meal and foam/snow party, and going for a night light stroll. If you are free and want to help out, please do let me know ya, you will be deeply appreciated really.

    Do a good deed during this holiday season, and atone for your sinful ways, come join me.

    Perfect place for peaceful romantic date really.

    Despondent

    It poured yesterday. rather heavily before the start of Analysis of Chemical Processes (ANCHEM) paper. I was feeling rather annoyed by the noise made by the crowd, four papers commencing at the same time in the same hall, imagine the amount of LSCT students please.

    Anyhow before the paper, i tried dispersing my stress level by going around to disturb people, basically i was in a joyous mode and creating more noise. Soon, the examination hall's door opened, and everyone was like rushing in.

    It was like the opening of chinese hell gate in those movies, no give chance type. "阿鬼门关开了,我们去脱胎吧! Yay!" (Wa, hell gate open already, lets go reincarnate, chiong ah!)

    During that moment, some were still doing bootless last minute revision, some were busy spotting girls, some were pushing/rushing into the exam venue. I ended up shouting "eh you all @#$# don't push already, not the seventh month yet hor!"

    It was a free seating exam hall, reminding me of the clementi's budget movie theater, sadly it closed down already despite our regular attendance.
    Cai: Aunty, 我要first row, 四张.
    Aunty: Okay, 一个人七块.
    In end, it was also a free seating inside because it was so darn empty, pondered for a moment why she still must mark out the seats.

    Finally, the paper started and i was staggered by the first question, followed by the second question. Managed to do question three, but it only carry a small amount of marks. Returned back to first question, this time round i was blown over, same for question two. Despite how hard i try to reckon with my brain cells, trying my best to analyze the product stream, then perform extent of reaction/carbon balance method, the brain decides to boycott his beloved master at such a crucial moment. *Blackout/Panic

    In order to grab hold of some minor working marks, i scribbled whatever i could think off although there were incorrect. Half past five, the given time was up and i had to reluctantly hand in my paper. The feeling was horrible, and i tried to prevaricate but it was unsuccessful.

    Caught a glimpse of Doctor Lim, and she was just as upset with tear filled eyes. Guess she's upset that she set such a easy paper, yet many of us couldn't do it.

    Sometimes i wonder why other courses have a maximum of three examinable modules only, and their papers are so darn easy compared to mine. No, i'm going to tell you what school that category belongs to, all i'm informing you is that LSCT is out here to kill really.

    Personally, i thought i could do it, and if i had a time machine/turn back time potion, i know i would have done it. Why did i panic? Why did i zonked out? Why, someone tell me why please.

    I am so going to fail this paper so badly, like my F9 for Additional Mathematics during prelims. The exam preparation skills are still lacking in me, no amount of curses, swears and tears could sum up how i really felt, i'm such a disappointment.

    Fortunately i still had a bestie pal. Who rushed down from home just to be with me while i studied for the next paper, indeed in need of a shoulder to cry on. Guess it's time to move on and view this with a Singapore approach, let's be forward looking huh?

    Love you in the fall, never forget you at all.

    Killer Environmental Technology

    Today marks the start of my second term's common test. I was rather excited about it because straight after the common test, there's going to be a two week break as my long awaited reward. Anyhow, i took my Environmental Technology (ENV) paper this morning, and having a brand new lecturer somehow gives you a brand new alien paper.

    She mentioned that she wanted to be different, cannot give any tips, cannot be as lenient as the previous lecturer who left, questions will be totally evolved, no free/bonus marks, and must be mentally challenging.

    The reason given: Setting a easy paper will be mocking our intelligence, righttt.

    In the end, throughout the whole course of test period, my panic level kept increasing, like an ant drowning in your soft drink. Especially when i had to skip questions because some were indeed challenging. Below was the killer question, really well done, her self proclaimed masterpiece, no give chance.

    Totally turned my day into a vapid one, at the end of the paper i was like screaming and shouting due to the excessive lost of blood marks. Currently i am having a very bad feeling about the ENV result, and what a way to mark the start of common test week huh? First one chui-ed already, on my bended knees hoping tomorrow's Transfer Process: Heat and Mass (TPHM) no stun.

    Anyway, my event for the orphanage has cropped up with a chao enormous elephant financial problem. Thanks to the orphanage sudden change of event date for us, the bus company wants to charge us one hundred and forty, instead of eighty. Seriously, i rather go make a plastic gun for them with the eighty dollars over at engineering block, and ask them go rob the bank for the rest, no joke.

    Thinking about the next part of the semester after the two weeks break scares me. The amount of work/projects to be completed within a month followed by final year exams is giving me a vertiginous feeling.

    Beautiful dawn, you're just blowing my mind again.

    Goodbye My Lover/Life

    Common test starts officially this thursday and i am not ready at all, really. There's so many things robbing away my precious time to sit down studiously to study. Help! My morale level is falling tremendously.

    Currently my daily schedule is fully packed, and i realised it sums up to only a few hours for studying before it all starts, die die die.

    Tomorrow i am having two projects and the presentations both due together.

    One project is on water analysis and my group finally finished the 60 odd slides, efforts from our dearest weekend okay. Next time your water turn yellow, call me up. I help you do biological oxygen demand test immediately, before you turn blue.

    The other one is on silly occupational health and safety. The group must prepare all the safety measures when setting up a tuition center, and running it, tell me how dumb can this get.

    I was supposed to make time for my friend's NS Farewell dinner/buffet today, and in the end i had to play him out. The guilt is riding into me, and apologies can't do much i guess, just hope he will be able to understand. The group of them are having fun, chatting, catching up, enjoying food galore and what am i doing over here? Camping at Bukit Batok's Mcdonald till sevenish, then coming home to rush projects, this is tear encouraging, very sad indeed.

    My event for bringing orphans to town got to be pushed forward, and i was only informed today. Yes, it officially falls a day after the end of common test. Which means, there won't be time for last minute preparation and recce-ing. On the night before i  won't be able to join the rest to party too, but for the children's love sake i shall sacrifice.

    To conclude, i think we ought to be grateful for whatever state we are in huh? Yes i am so grateful that i have to warn someone in the tuition center, that he/she shouldn't stand under an air conditioning unit, in case it falls and smash his/her head rah.

    Anyhow please click to watch how a in just mere forty seconds. Imagine waking up next morning (i'm not asking for forty seconds here), realising your hair color faded, wrinkles all over, sagging muscles and you've become a lao cai, this is scary.

    How i wish, i could, surrender my soul.

    Warning

    It's the last month of the year 2006 and i manage to spend five minutes, reminiscing about the whole year. Basically, i am rather unsure if it had been a good year, and i am officially left with twenty eight days to expiate for everything. I mean fourteen days, the last fourteen days to be exact because the upcoming two weeks is going to be study and more studying.

    One thing for sure, i am not going to touch hotdogs and cheese for the rest of the year already. The thought of extreme cheesy dots on my face frightens me.

    Currently i am packed with work, due to the two presentation plus project deadline this coming tuesday. The other classes had all already completed their task, and studying with an carefree mind. Yet my class is forced to complete it by this tuesday, with common test tailgating right behind them. Seriously time consuming, %^&@# ):

    I am looking forward to the two weeks break during the holiday season. There's so much i want to do and so little time really, oh well just to got to live with it huh? I need my old corona like now, gulp down my throat please.
