wow...

Its been 2 weeks since i blogged!

Been busy with Chinese New Year and Bike Test...

CNY this year is different... The visiting has been fast and short, spending not longer than 3 hours at each place... Some only 30 minutes! Its wierd not hanging around and talk and have fun~ But perhaps its becoz nik is not that close with his relatives and it feels kinda wierd for him to hang around too long ba~ As for my aunt's side, its always short... She will always turn up late and one house and that leads to very short visit for all the other houses...

Ang Bao... Okay lah~ Considering the economy downturn, its not that bad... the least i have gotten was 4 bucks (previously had 2 bucks~!) and the most was 18 bucks (not including close relatives')

Bike Test went very well, but i still failed... 32 points! All made up of 4 points and 2 points... Small mistakes, wobbling is the main problem for me... (I didn't felt like i wobbled anyway....) Nvm lor~ Try again... The next test i have not booked... Waiting for a date after the exams... Lecturers have been very nice to exempt me from lessons without a need of an MC, so i can't skip their lessons again~!

Alright, time to go slp again~ Next week have to really start on assignments and stuffs~!

See you next time!

Interview...

So irritating...

In-ter-view pronounced as In-the(de)-view... and we started bickering about the pronounciation... (ter) and (de) is very different... yet he doesn't see it... ARRGH... Think i better get the hearing aid for the hearing impaired, and maybe i'll hear everything clearer and louder!

Arrgh...

First Frisbee Training Session Since School Started...

Today, we had the first frisbee training session since the semester started... Had a good workout today! Its been a long time since i felt my legs burn while i was running around~! And for the first time in my entire life, i scored my FIRST and SECOND POINT!!! Heeee~! Assisted by Gideon and Daniel (NTU)... It was a fantastic feeling man!! I LOVED IT~! Wooooo Hooooo~!

I was shouting and screaming on the pitch when i scored~! Literally screaming "wooohoo~!" Haha! "I scored my first TRY~!" I must have mixed up rugby and ultimate frisbee... Gideon was trying to correct me that its "point" and not "try"... Anyway, i'm still happy nonetheless!

Going to work super hard for chinese new year... Hopefully can shed some fats while i'm training... Haha!

Go.... Ultimate!

New Laptop~!

Thanks to the new Student Notebook Loan Scheme, I'm able to own a HP Elitebook for only $51... Yes! This is a one time payment and thats all I've paid~! But i do have to sign some terms and conditions which are pretty harmless... The laptop seems to be quite good, in terms of specs and all... The only downside to this is the OS... Its Windows Vista Business... I can't seem to adapt to using Vista... So fustrating... Even though there are 4gb ram, it still seems to be lagging~! But i will not complain any further... I got it cheap! And although i can't keep it after i graduated, it's STILL cheap!! Hahaa!!

Read all about it here!

There are no games in that laptop!!

Some Photos...

Here are some photos from the paintball session and other random pics...


My team... (dunno why eric look so fierce...) Yes, we are kinda siao onz... wearing long four and all... But its essential~! Imagine getting shot at bareskin... The bruise will be HUGE!


My "complete" team... with Yaofeng in it...

Me and Nik spent our weekends working on several projects... We went ikea and bough several new addition to our room... A shelf, some cd racks and a chair... Spent about 130 bucks!


Our new shelf~! (Oh, the BIG tigger was bought in Thailand~!)


Side track... Our CD rack project failed (FOR NOW), but we worked on another first... Guitar stands!


Here's a close up... Basically, we tied this little wooden hook thingy, which we sawed and spray painted it black, onto an old metal stand that Nik bought for his speaker initially..

Forgot to take a pic of the completed chair... Hahaa!! It was really fun working on these stuffs with my dearie... Sometimes, we dun haf to go out to have fun!!! We are going to do some serious drillings to mount up the cd rack... (We tried to use 3M tape, but it crashed onto the floor after some time together with all the dvds... wrecking at least 2 blue ray disc covers!)

Cool Stuffs!!

Instructional Methods...

Our lecturer can really talk... If he has all the time in the world, i think he can talk forever... Luckily he had to stop talking in order to give us more playing time... Today, we started with Tag Rugby... and it is today that i realised that i'm getting fat, old, unfit and unhealthy... For a short 45min session of small sided games, i'm already panting and legs wobbly... i need to start conditioning myself... If not i'm going to die in IM...

Plus, i really need to start slimming down again for Chinese New Year... 50% of the clothes i bought in bangkok is too small for me! Hahaa!! Under estimated my size lah~ Plus, you can't really try the clothes in the markets...

My early morning school days are killing me already~ Super slpy man... Especially around this time... But i can't nap... If i did, i'll probably wake up 4 hours later and stay up till 3am!! Now, there is a chance that my tuesday will start at 8.30am too!! Its HORRIBLE....

KJE has been having TERRIBLE traffic jams in the morning for the past 2 days... I wonder what may be the reasons... Could it be that the bukit timah gantry has started operating already?? Come to think of it, saving that $1 or $2 bucks by avoiding that road, and getting stuck in a traffic jam that would burn more petrol... Which is worse??

Arrgh~

1st day of school~!

Time-table is not that bad, except for the 8.30am lessons scheduled on mon, wed and fri... Haha! Imagine the difficulty in waking up, dragging myself and nik to the car, driving through the terrible traffic jam.... Arrgh... Even if nik dun drive me to sch, i'll still have to squeeze through the morning human jam... Either way, it sucks...

Yesterday (Sunday) was FUN! I ended my holiday with a paintball session with some of my poly mates... Eric and his friend were there too... I got to play 2 rounds, about 200 paintballs, shot some targets and many ppl, and successfully retrieved the ammo box TWICE~ Woohoo~ We had 20 ppl, 4 groups of 5... And my group (nik, me, eric, louis and yaofeng) emerged as the overall champion~!!!! Hahaa! And we had 3 noobs~! I would say we did pretty well that day~

Most importantly, the price? $45 per person~! ALL time LOW for me... i used to pay about $60 to $80 per session... So it was a good session... I was hoping that we could organise one for pess. But see how again ba~!

After that, me and nik went to have dinner at Jalan Kayu~! Supposed to have prata there, but settled for Mad Jacks... Passion Card, 10%... Haha! We had..... Chicken Baked Rice, Ribeye Steak, Fried Chicken Wings, Slick of Choc Cake... The food was not that great lah~ Ok ok only... and it cost about 45 bucks too~

Hmmm... 4 groups of 5, $45 per person, food was about $45... Maybe i should buy 4D, 4545... Hahaa!!

Okay... I better sleep soon! Jus came back from a brainstorming session with nik and his friends... Some new game concept thingy~ Slpy~!!!!!

Poor Ankle...

Can't believe it, i sprained my ankle just 2 days (yesterday) before school starts... Its the same ankle as the one i sprained in bangkok... And i sprained it just minutes after i started playing badminton with nik at Yew Tee CC... Luckily, it was a mild sprain, so i could still walk and play a little... Haha!

Today i'm still going to play paintball at OCC... Yesterday followed nik to The Chevrons to buy his army supplies and i got the uniform for myself! Hee~ bout 30 bucks~ Heee! Wanted to get the desert storm digital print in bangkok, but couldn't part with my money... Now i'm already regretting that decision... Hiaz... What to do? Buy local one lor~ Hee~

Alright, time to go tape up my ankle so that i can run properly~

Back to Sch in 1 day~ :(

Happy New Year!

While some people are counting down at marina, sentosa or even at nee soon, others are counting down at home... But for the 4 of us, (me, nik, beka and andy), we were counting down at pizza hut~! Counting down the number of boxes that we are folding and the actual counting down with FM95.0~ Haha! Andy and beka had to work till 11pm... But life at pizza hut is always about OT without extra pay... So by the time andy is done, its already 12.15am...

Whats my new year's resolution for year 2009? I didn't make any... Coz not fufilling my 2008 resolutions made me pretty irritated... Although i couldn't remember wat were my resolutions... Hahaa! Anyway, year 2008 has been pretty rough and pretty sweet... Hope 2009 will be better and i'll have money to last thru the year! :)

Happy New Year!
