Last day before I go back to Singapore....

Went out this afternoon to FTZ to watch kev and his dota team(rojak team...some of their original members were not available) played in the SMM tourney. Which they lost. After they lost, we head out to 1U for dinner. Went for Shogun jap buffet which cost us RM55 each. Expensive, but worth it from my point of view. It's not just some cheap sushi buffet where only selected sushi's are available, this is a BIG buffet with just about anything you can find in a Japanese restaurant plus free flow of assorted drinks and ice-cream!! The desert table was good too. The buffet started at 6.30 and we were allowed to sit until the restaurant closes at 10.30(which we gladly did).

After stuffing ourselves, we went over to Cineleisure Mall to watch Ghost Rider. I expected the show to suck, and suck it did.... The show is really damn bad.. Lousy story line, lame, stupid and pretty much anything you can find at a really bad movie. I'm not gonna go into details on why it was bad, just watch it and you'll understand...

Going back to Singapore tomorrow... damn.. i've got 2 mid-terms and an essay due on tuesday plus another mid-term on wednesday... my essay is nearly done, but my revision... cant say i've really started. Let's say i'm really screwed this week...

Damai Laut.....

Ahh.. just came back from my uncle's company trip to Damai Laut. A place somewhere in Lumut. Went straight from my grandparents place in Kampar, Perak. Spent 3 days 2 nights at the Swiss Garden resort... Frankly speaking.. the place sucks... it sucks so badly... i got really nothing to say about it. The food sucks, the swimming pool is small, beach is dirty, only have kayaking for their watersports... Luckily, we only spent 2 nights there. We wouldnt have much to do if we stayed another night. The only thing worth mentioning is the scenery, its pretty nice from the balconies of our rooms. I dont have any pics cz im just too lazy to take any..

On the positive side, they had espn on their tv. So i got the chance to watch LIVERPOOL WIN BARCELONA AT THE NOU CAMP!!! Yupp yupp, 2-1 to Liverpool. Winning away in Champions League is extremely important and they've done it. I believe they will see through the threat of the defending champions in Anfield.

Havent been sleeping for the past few nights.... time to regenerate...

home....

I'm HOME!!! Wee, Malaysia air somehow feels better than Singapore air.. XD

I didnt have time to blog about Valentine's day cause I was busy packing and had stuff to do right after I came back. Well, just a short mention on how me and Sarah spent our Valentine's day,

We decided to go to Vivocity since it was the nearest shopping complex and Sarah wanted to walk around. Also, its the only place in Singapore which had Kim Gary which Sarah wanted to try. So we had dinner in Kim Gary, food was good.... well.. its good when you compare it to the food i've been eating in campus... Dinner was my treat of course. After dinner, we walked around Vivo. Bumped into a few people there, Khim and Jen, John and Yin Chau(who told us the whole 5B gang was there). We walked until 10 then we went to Ben and Jerries to have ice-cream. The ice-cream there is NICE, expensive but nice... hehe, anyway ice-cream was Sarah's treat XD. Thanks dear!!! After that it was back to PGP to pack... Overall, I enjoyed myself that night. Thanks a lot dear!

P.s. no pics were posted cause I'm back in KL and the pics are in Sarah's lap top.

Nice tune....

I found this while blog hoping awhile ago.. For some reason, I love the tune of the song...

away woes..........

Liverpool lost away too Newcastle today. There goes Liverpool's hope of catching the top 2.... another away lost puts them back where they were before they won Chelsea... It's like the hard fought win didnt mean anything. Now there's a problem... Arsenal now will be able to overtake Liverpool if they win their remaining 2 games. Sigh..

PGPR's Friendship Week finally came to an end today. Ended with an overall great DND. Even though the food isn't really that good and the portion is a bit small, the overall event can be considered entertaining and fun. The guy MC did a hell of a good job in entertaining the crowd. He was damn kau funny wei.... Kudos to the Friendship Week organizing committee for an entertaining week. Pics of the dinner will be up once i get them from Sook Cheng.

After DnD, we went to celebrate Qing Zhuang's birthday. As usual, the birthday "ceremony" went as expected though he didnt really put up with much struggle... On the other hand, we also handed out ceremonies to Ivan, Win Sern, Chee Guan, Wen Yeow and Wei Lee too. LOL... it all happen so fast, spontaneous after some provocation. For those who dont know what is this ceremony I'm talking about, the ceremony is well, stripping that lucky person's pants. Birthday boys are always the targets but other people may just get lucky if some one wants to sabo him. XD

Watching and taking part of the ceremony is fun, but my birthday is coming nearer .. everytime somebody's pants come out, it feels like my turn will soon to come... Oh well, I'm praying that they get bored of it by the time my birthday comes... =p

6 inch sandwich for SD0.10 in subway!!!!

Subway is currently celebrating it's 10th anniversary this month and they've been coming out with pretty good promotions. Just 2 days back, Wednesday i think, they were selling a 6 inch sandwich for only 10 cents!!! Of course, its only limited to 1 per customer and only from 3-4 pm. But 10 cents?? Damn cheap wei!!

Other students obviously also knew about the promotion and people started queuing around 2.45!! Damn kiasu wei this people!! Me, Wei Loon and Ian reached at 2.50 and the queue was damn long di.


See the crowd?? And this wan only around 2.50. After about 5 minutes or so, the line behind me started to grow longer...



After waiting for a long 40 minutes, we finally managed to get our sandwich. When I was at the counter, I still was not convinced that it's only 10 cents. My mind kept telling there's gotta be a catch, it can't be so simple... Well, it WAS SO SIMPLE!! Just 10 cents and there you go, 6 inch of bread, meat and vege!! Left the place a very happy man. =)

random....

A few days back, i went to Clementi to bank in my cheque i got from the insurance coverage for my ankle injury on December. When i just got down the bus something happened to caught my eye... I saw this kid, a small kid.. probably just only started 1st year in primary school cause he was wearing a uniform(or was it a tadika uniform?). Well this kid was carrying a handphone and walking around alone. Not that I'm jealous or anything but aren't kids nowadays being over pampered by their parents? I remember i got my 1st handphone only when i started going to college.

The world is changing in a rather rapid and uncomfortable pace. Or rather kids are changing. My childhood memories were filled with outdoor activities and games with friends of mine. Those fun times i had playing "invaders", "pepsi-cola", bottle caps, "batu seremban", "rubber", and many other games we played during primary and early secondary days. Now when you go ask the kids what they to with their friends for fun, dota, CS, gunbound, rockfever... all computer and electronic games. It'll be rare to find kids that don't play all these computer games anymore and i feel thats a pretty sad thing. Not to say that computer games are not fun or anything but i believe traditional outdoor games really brings back more memories. The bonding of friendship is more prominent in outdoor games. People argue that friendships can also be developed through computer games, yes i wont deny that, i myself am a constant gamer but its just not the same with outdoor games.

Just a few years back, I was someone who believed that computer games are just as good in developing friendships as other outdoor group games. This thinking of mine changed when i joined engin camp, UFO and rag. From engaging in lame ice-breaker games to building a donut together, its activities like this that builds bonds and memories. I can still recall roughly on those happy days. Computer games on the other hand does not give a lasting memory. How many of you can remember details of a game of dota you played 2 or 3 months ago?

I'm just hoping future generations will be able to understand this, computer games are ok once in awhile, but games outside the cyber world will be those that form the bulk of your childhood memories....

Arts modules.....

I just attended my 1st philosophy tutorial today. I'm taking Reason and Persuasion this sem. I came out of the tutorial feeling happy, very much different from when i came out of my Feedback or Fluids tutorial. After the tutorial and a few weeks of lectures(i webcasted them, they clash with my labs), I'm starting to get the feeling that there's finally hope in NUS. Finally a module where I enjoy the lectures, readings and tutorials. I'm sure I'll be enjoying my 2 essays and the finals for this module too.

Since my 1st sem in NUS, I've noticed I the kinda person who likes writing more than counting. I like to write essays, especially non-factual essays. I just love spending my time in the exam hall writing words. It's so much better than writing equations based on formulas which takes a whole damn lot of effort to memorize. I'm not saying that my English is damn good, in fact, my English is not good at all. Average I may say. It's just that I like writing, doesn't have to be "powderful england", just normal English where people understand what I'm trying to portray to them.

Reason and Persuasion is the 2nd arts module I've taken so far, the 1st is my SS, Evolution of a global city state. I SU-ed my SS module due to mass pressure from Sarah and my group of friends. They say "Its an arts module, we wont be able to compete with those arts people", well i really disagree with them. What makes those art students different from us engin and science students? We learn the same English since standard 1 till form 5, so what now makes them more superior in writing?? Even in pre-u studies, the English subjects are just about the same. Just because they are in arts does not mean they are better writers than us. And I regretted I did not stand firm on my own opinion that time. If i didn't SU my SS, I'm pretty sure I would have gotten at LEAST a A- if not an A.

Now in this sem, I'm gonna go ahead with reason and persuasion without SU. Hopefully i can finally score my 1st A here in NUS. I really need it soon.......
