Home is where the Heart is

Yay! One last day left.. I cant wait for tomorrow's paper to be over! Hehe..then I will have a long 3 months break from studying..YIPPEE!!!!

Hehe..I changed the music player to iPhone! Looks quite cool can see picture also..I wonder if they have other colour for iPhone..maybe blue might look nicer..it will go well with my background..yippee all blue then..haha..next time then i go explore

Pahit getir hidup... dan pengorbanan
Terpaksa dihadapi, demi kejayaan
Terdidik sejak mula, tabah berusaha
Tanpa cuba melangkah, tak kemana
Di mana kau berada
Pencapaian tak tiba dengan mudah

Kini "Standing In The Eyes Of The World"
Hanyalah selangkah dari nyata
Keazaman membara dijiwa
Menanti saat bebas merdeka
Tiba masa kau melangkah gagah
Bersemangat ke arah matlamat sedaya upaya
Engkau terunggul
Wajar "Standing In The Eyes Of The World"

Harapan yang pernah terkulai layu
Kembali segar mekar bawah bayanganmu
Setiap manusia ingin berjaya
Namun tak semua miliki tuah
Engkau menghampirinya
Kesempatan telah pun tiba...

Looking back all the years, all the sacrifice
If you want to be the best you've got to pay the price
You learn it from the very start just how hard you must try
'Coz if you don't spread your wings then you can't fly
Look at where you are today
Did you ever think that you would come all this way ?

(And) now you're
"Standing In The Eyes Of The World"
Only moments away from what can be
There's a passion in the hearts of a few
ever waiting inside to be set free
When the time comes and your spirit
takes flight and you reach into
your soul and live it with all of your might
And there's no surprise that you're
(And everyone tries when you're)
"Standing In The Eyes Of The World"

Many have hopes and dreams that will not come true
And all of them left behind now they will live in you
Everyone feels the same once a day in the sun
But sometimes there is only room for one
Never ever been so near now the chance is finally here

Taking a break..

It's Grandpa's Birthday today..must remember to call him tonight ♥♥♥

Often there are a lot of things that we just kept it in our heart thinking that we might hurt the other person when we say it out but little do we know that it hurts the person even more.

Yippee..no more assignments, no more CA, no more tutorials to do..wait..maybe not..one more tutorial to go..statistics:S but i will finish it later..hehe

Tuesday was the day to submit the report for our accounting module. I volunteered to print and submit it since I will have no lessons except for a one hour tutorial. I thought I knew where is the place to submit it but it was totally unexpected. I thought there will be a box place in front of the office for us to put it inside. That's what Ms Belinda told us. But the place was actually an office which we have to enter - office similar to that of a professor room - and pass it to the person. I was wandering around looking for a box which is as big as a room..haih..silly me..met Zi Jian my tutorial classmate there. He went to submit their group's report too. We took quite some time before deciding to knock and enter the room because there were no sign indicating that's the submission venue.

After lunch, I went for tutorial and back to PGP. I was supposed to go for an interview too but never mind, there's some misunderstanding and it's postponed. So I will go over later. Was a bit disappointed but then as least someone is happy.

Was busy rushing to prepare my presentation slides and report at night. Manage to finish the report during IGC meeting and came back to do the slides. Sleepy and tiring.

And today's the presentation day. And I was LATE! Arr..I overslept. Woke up at 8.50 am and I got a shock. I so so so late:S Luckily I wasn't one of the presenter today. But I think we didn't handle the Q&A very well. Quite disappointing. And worse, we got below average again for our assignment. So in conclusion, I scored below average for my midterm, below average for the first assignment and below average for the second assignment. There's a lot of catching up I need to do before the finals. I guess our way of working with the assignment wasn't good enough. I don't know. I do not blame my groupmates for that. I have the responsibility to check the answers for them too.

Haih..today's just an unlucky day. I need more luck to get through my interview. Lots of luck!!!

I had my final CA for the semester today. Don't think it was very well done. But at least now just have to focus on my 5 final papers and after that will be a long holiday. We finalized our accounting assignment today and it’s ready for printing and submission tomorrow. Yippee. Next up will be preparing for managerial economics presentation on Wednesday.

Last week was the last lecture for financial accounting and we were treated to light refreshments after the lecture. So this week I will only have statistics tutorial to attend on Tuesday. Yippee! But I will still need to go and print our report and submit it at Biz 1 (02-04). I hope I won’t get lost looking for the place. =P

I’m so looking forward to my first long break since university started but the uncertainty of what I will be doing (besides playing) makes me hope that it will take some time before it comes. Hehe...that mean I will have more time before the finals.

I will have 3 open book exams this semester. So a lot of reading need to be done considering that I have yet to open most of the books and read through them seriously besides using to complete my tutorial. So this coming week, I will have to be super hardworking and make sure I know where to find all the answers.

Jemma, Prisca and Jane came over last Friday to do our managerial economics report and I would say its ¾ done now. Just need a bit more fine-tuning and examples to be added and it will be ready for submission. We are more concern of the presentation now.

I also watched Slumdog Millionaire last Friday, Watched it on DVD with Alex. It was quite a nice movie. The young Jamal is so cute. Hehe..But I think it was quite sad that he didn’t know that his brother died or was he informed:P I didn’t fall asleep this time. I remember watching until the credits come out and he was happily dancing there. A bit don’t make sense hor..And they also didn’t say why his brother didn’t want to save Latika the first time. Hehe…I guess if he did then there will be nothing else to show? And he wouldn’t be on the television show and it will just be a happy ending in less than an hour and it will not be as good as it is:P

RELAX

NEVER SAYS “DIE”

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending

Scared. Disappointed. Speechless.

Nice dinner. Nice company. Nice movie.

Thank you!

Yesterday was the last day for our Biodiversity practicals and we went to the Zoo. It was fun. Gerard drove us (Bryan and I) to the zoo. Met my group and TA, Jun Hao at the entrance and we proceed into the zoo. Yippee!! Super excited. The first time I go to the Zoo in Singapore. We manage to visit quite a number of animals and catch a bit of the Elephant show! The elephants are all super trained. Hehe..so cute seeing one of them trying to wake the other one up by splashing water on her. Haa..super naughty. Manage to see a lot of monkeys. The New World Monkeys and the Old World Monkeys. I didn't know there are different ones before this. Haha..I just know them as MONKEYS!

Some of the animals in the zoo are just super good in posing. They will just try to get your attention to snap their photos. Oh oh, we also went to Australia and see Kangaroos! Haha..first time seeing real life Kangaroos hopping! So cute! And just before out CA, we visited the Polar Bear! Arr so cute. But it just went into the air-con den so fast that we didn't really get to see it.

Had dinner with Eelin and Munlok at the Food Centre opposite Harbour Front Centre. After our dinner, we went to VivoCity to visit the platypus at National Geographic. Haha..Eelin was right, the tail super nice to squeeze. The went over to Giant to do some shopping. Hehe..I just love to shop for food. Yummy!

The poor victim:P

Earth Hour celebration was quite successful. Everything went on smoothly, at least in my point of view. There was movie screening of The Day the Earth Stood Still at the lecture theatre after which we proceed to the Football Field for the candlelight vigil. I was assigned to be one of the ushers to direct people to the field and when everyone are going to the field and no one's left at the LT, I went to join them too. Haha..not that I'm running away from my duty. Zhirong allowed me to go play and have fun too.

Some of the photos taken by VPC photographers (Guoqi and Daniel). Nice shots.

The letter "NUS" formed by candles!!

Complete darkness...
Glow stick!
Join us again for Earth Hour 2010!

Woke up early in the morning and went for tuition. So sleepy and lazy to wake up but no choice, have to drag myself out from bed. Haha..the weather's so cold and nice to sleep lor.

Had lunch at Jurong Point. Nice nice lunch. So happy. Came back to PGP to nap after that before going out to do some preparation for Earth Hour next week.

Met Zhirong at OED and the 4 of us walk to the SRC open field to try things out. Hehe..quite fun lighting candles and making formation. Manage to make the letter "N". There were some curious passer-bys that thought we were doing some tribute to someone. Haha..anyway, it looks cool and hope everything will turn out fine next week.

After our last practical at Changi Beach, today's the animal diversity practical in which our lecturer told us to be prepared mentally and physically. Haha..I hope I am. It's another 1 hour plus later.

This semester is getting busier than the previous one. Maybe because I'm taking more modules with assignments and group project. Just submitted my law mid-term paper. I redo it for 3 times so hopefully the final one is OK. This weekend we'll be having our second econs assignment. And our physics term paper is due the week after that. It's going to go on like this for the rest of the semester.

I totally agreed with what Eelin blog about. Uni life is only partially FUN. And I would say the fun comes from the friends around us. What I look forward to everyday is not attending the long boring lectures but rather the chance to meet up with friends during lunch time or maybe just a simple chat. And what's fun about doing projects? It's being able to know new friends and maintain them even after the projects are completed. I really don't know how long I can survive without them walking into my uni life. And definitely the competitiveness in people are not something that I enjoy. It's just putting more stress on each other.

We had our open house last weekend. I was quite disappointed that the photographers went missing. How can they not informed me if they are not able to make it or at least why did they gone uncontactable? I wished I didn't have to do the sports club duty then I can at least help them take some of the photographs which I did before starting my shift. But of course also thanks to people who are willing to help although I contacted them last minute. Really grateful for that.

And this week during the law lecture, our lecturer told us that she'll need to postpone the next lecture as she had to travel. I just don't understand how can she just postpone the lessons just like that. She should at least consider that we might be having another lesson during that time. Why did we need to bid for the lecture in the first place if there's no fix timing? OK I admit I don't really like this lecturer. I have a feeling that she doesn't even prepare for lessons. She's always going there every week and reading from the piece of paper. I even wonder if she prepared the slides on her own.

Another interesting thing that happened during this week's lecture is Mark and Jahabar trying to get "famous" on the web cast during our Physics lecture. Haha..it was during the lecturer's demonstration that they let out a loud "waaa". Super funny. But I told them later that it might not be captured on the web cast coz they usually don't take in the surrounding sound meaning they take it directly from the lecturer's mike. So we will not be able to hear them on the web cast. But we have yet to check it out. Haha..maybe I shall watch during the weekend to see if there's any:P

This Wednesday was the 'super critical' group's turn to present. They never failed to raised a question during every group's presentation and trying to point out people's "mistakes". But this time was their turn to make a major mistake. They used a totally not good example and making certain assumptions. So our tutor questioned their project examples. As always, they often do not admit they are wrong and thus trying to find their way out, given all sort of reasons for them choosing the "wrong" example. In the end, the tutor still thinks that the example is not a good one. Lesson for our group, make sure we chose examples that we can relate to our every day life and be specific to avoid being "killed". Haha..super exaggerating hor:P

Oh no!! The person practically eaten half of my whole packet of biscuits! She took from the other container too.. **super angry**

*Angry angry* Someone ate my cookies from my tupperware in the fridge. So sad. I just opened it on Thursday night. Placed them in 2 separate container because one can't fit all. And one of it is almost empty when I took it today! Just 3 pieces left!!!! I remember having about 10 pieces in that tupperware. So bad so bad. The person didn't even bother to close the container tight after eating. Arr..angry!. Luckily still got another container =X
It was last semester when I first encounter the mystery person that often 'mistook' other's food. I thought it's over and we're going to live happily in our cosy cluster but it strikes again. :'(

Oh oh..btw, anyone happens to have this year TPJC's yearbook? I want to see! How come my class is written wrongly?

Some updates on my cluster kitchen. Last semester we've got a new fridge which is much bigger compare to our old one:P Haha..the old one was spoilt. I remember the whole door drop off and we can't keep anything inside for a week or so. It's nice to have a new fridge:P But there's one problem with it. I think we didn't put the correct setting, it seems to be very cold. I remember my jellies for the potluck party had ice on them. Haha..but i think it's working fine now.


We also got a new jug kettle! It looks much better than the old one but because it's still new the water has some weird taste. Haha..so everyday I will just keep boiling water and pour away so that the taste will go off faster. Any idea how to make it go off even faster? Oh and this jug kettle can't keep water warm unlike the old one but I don't really need hot water, besides it boils quite fast so no problem for that.

And our latest member to the new family is our stove! Yippee. This is so cool. I like the new stove very much. It makes me want to cook so much. Haha..the old one is just rusty and a bit scary because I don't know which knob is for which hot plate and which direction to turn and I have a feeling it's going to explode anytime. Haha..ok I'm just exaggerating, don't think it will explode so easily but anyway we've got a new one now.

And what's nice about it is that it's all labelled! See...it's so cool rite? I won't turn on the wrong knob for the wrong hot plate anymore. It's clearly shown and I don't need to memorise numbers anymore. The picture is just great! We shall have our cooking session soon! I'm so excited! It's just great! I love my cluster! Yippee!
