Hi,

Its CNY again. Happy Chinese New Year guys ;) I hope you get tons of angbaos!

Anyway, in polytechnic, theres nothing to be too be too happy about. This is because assignments due dates are usually very close and you probably won't even be in the mood to celebrate (-~-)/

I've tons of things to do:

DVDE photoshop mockup of site
WCD website
NOS report and diagram
DBMS EERD
GenEd

Holy balls, i have an assignment for every single module...

Anyway, here's a little something



---
I should probably get cracking tomorrow. But tonight, it's going to be revision for Japanese class (exam coming next month, omigaw)

Hi,

This is going to be a short one. My 1st year of polytecnic is coming to an end... 1 year passes by so fast. Oh, and btw, happy new year to all of you :)

1) Secondary School Friends

When you're more mature, you make longer lasting friends. To my buddies py, jj, leon, bri, bernard, yb, wm. Missing you guys here in poly. I occasionally bump into some of you though. I always remember my friends, i hope you do guys do too :)

2) Teachers (Primary/Secondary)

I really really miss my primary school and secondary school teachers. Heck, i even remember my primary 1 form teacher's name, Ms Margaret Low. Wherever you are 'cher', i hope you're doing fine :) And Ms Wong too!
My secondary school teachers, who am i kidding? I miss all of them.

3) Choir

It wasn't a mistake to go into choir during secondary 2. The few guys who were in choir with me, we were awesome! Training every week wasn't in vain when we got silver for SYF. We went through so many crappy instructors till we found the right one. Them juniors should be glad we filtered the best instructor xD And to the teachers in charge, i hope you guys find success with every new batch and let's hope YISS choir will never die down (like the previous batch did *puke*)

Bahh, i'll just post a song here to remind myself to listen to it the next time i view my archives...

Hi,

I have made up my mind to chase away dust bunnies from my blog. I've been pretty busy with my studies. But im going to be honest with you, i've been gaming more than studying(like a ratio of 3:1), which is pretty bad.

Just so you know dear diary, i didn't get a very impressive start from my first semester in polytechnic. Its certainly different from secondary education, where teachers would chase after you for homework and ask to study more. In fact, no one really cares. It's as if we're all in a rat race, attempting to outrun one another.

For all my school mates at Singapore Poly, it's OK if you didn't do well, just rethink what you did to get those grades. "Fire and adjust", staying in the same spot after getting hit is definitely plain retarded. By the way, the first paragraph was referring to my first semester. Im more focused on reading my notes and studying after the shocker grades.

~~~
Interestingly, today's DVDE class (Unsure what it stands for, think of it as digital arts) was about photography. I decided to pair up with HJ. Im unsure of what model we were using, but it was Lumix DSLR.

On the side note, i've been running around my head about getting a DSLR. That Nikon D3100, you don't know how much i want you baby.

Anyway, i tried going for the manual zooms and focus. At first it looked awesome on the screen(Note to self: The screen deceives). However, to my horror, it looked horrible when it was transferred to my computer. I shall not be a smartass to go manual on a camera i just started using again.

"Work. Eat. Sleep. We're stuck in this endless loop."
I've recently watched 'The Social Network', its a show that was screening a few months back, gave it a miss. Just to fill you in, the show is about the founding of facebook and the hardships Mark encountered during the development of it.



8/10


I found the movie to be really interesting as it showed about people creating something unique in this world that is already filled with nonsensical - or useful - products/inventions.

Thinking differently, is that what we should all do?

Hi,

Looks like i've been updating quite regularly unlike my previous few months. This is probably continue if i keep having that inspiration and the mood to blog.

~~~
Anyway, its probably been a few months since school has started and i must say that i'm enjoying polytechnic life! Everyone has their own clique and i have mine too =s We even made a group on Facebook to signify our existence, a group called Trolls Inc.

Its also been a few weeks of Japanese lessons at school and i have learnt a lot! I might even post some phrases on the next post (Just to show how good i am, heh heh).



~~~
If you notice the time i'm blogging, its really late into the night, this is because i just came back from work. I really love my job, there's really nothing to it, no reason to like it, no obligations to hate it... Its simply loving the job. I hope that i can get a job which will give me similar feelings in the future.

Also, i've been thinking into the future about a job... And a dream. It's not like i have the most insane dream of owning a garage of exotics (i don't mind), or owning a castle on a hilltop next to a beach with 50 maids and a butler to serve me. It's nothing like that. My dream is to work at a prestigious game developing company. It may not be the coolest dream (it certainly is geeky and all but..), i would lighten up at the thought of working with colleagues with similar interests

Ah, but dreams would always be there wouldn't it? Just a master puppeteer pulling the strings of unwilling people with honest determination to succeed. My dad was telling me about how he loved to own a better car someday... that VW Scirocco.

All I can say is that in many ways it appears that the roll of the dice factors in our lives more often than not. Makes it interesting and it’s never too late to realize a dream or at least try to. ~ laurieanichols

Aside from the constant haze of projects after the holidays, i've been thinking of picking up choir again. I just love being in a group, charging into the stage wearing absolutely stunning clothes and singing harmoniously... Weird huh? Sudden nostalgia.

Hi,

Its another monthly gap from my previous blog post. Not that i blog as much as i do during the "golden age" of my blog, but the reason for this monthly gap is that i feel it would serve the purpose of marking notable days of my lives rather than aimlessly pouring down crap on my keyboard. Nonetheless, lets get this post started ;)

~~~
Not to scare you or anything, the title refers to my upcoming MST, which is in short for 'Mid Semester Test'. Although im having doubts about the test (Im having Java practical and Maths), i think i might do well. It can't hurt to have a little confidence right? :d

Oh, just to add, im currently having my holidays now. It ends in about a week (Actually, it ends this Sunday, however, you do not have to attend school for the days which you don't have a test on! 1+ for thoughtfulness).

Aside from the school stuff, i've been going increasingly addicted to a few songs, here, i've even been kind enough to produce the youtube links. (Another +1?)

Stereo Love - Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina
The video doesn't want to be embed, so click here to watch it

Sound of Silence - Duptribe

Only One - Yellowcard


~~~
Aside from intense gaming and rupturing my eardrums with music, i have also been reading some interesting manga/comic.

Uzumaki/Spirals

Uzumaki is a psychological manga, it is disturbing in content and is strongly not recommended for people who cannot take mindfuck manga. Failure to comply to requirements may lead to extreme pawnage and rupture of braincells which may lead to Uzumaki happening to a neighbourhood near you. No really, don't try it if you can't take it.


Anyway, on to my short take. Im currently on the 7th chapter and i must say that Uzumaki has a good plot.
****WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD****
I've read about people disappearing into computer world (Think Serial Experimental Lain), ability to time travel through a microwave (Think Steins;Gate). But never have a encountered a plot where a town is cursed. The town of Kurôzu-cho has a curse where natural and artificially created spirals occur randomly around town. People start going crazy about spirals and have some sick obsession about them. About 3 people have died so far, a father who quit his job and become sickly obsessed with spirals to the point where he dies in a spiral, a wife who died in connection to the father i mentioned earlier and a school girl whos scar became a spiral.


Manga Rating so far: 5/5

Do enjoy reading them, i'll add in more reviews the next time we meet.

Hi,

Im supposed to be asleep now, but heck, i'd rather be typing =s (Oh, since im exhausted, there might be typo errors and i won't be uploading pictures. I'll add a tl;dr version at the end of the post)

Anyway, since school started, i've been spending a lot. Spending $40 in 2 days without even realising that im spending that much has seriously taken toll on my bank numbers.

Since im schooling now, i plan to keep my budget to $10 per day as i only have to munch on lunch. Hopefully it all goes well!

~~~
Just so you know, i just came back from a outing with kc, als and lx. Went to SAFRA at Jurong Point to play pool!

I had to warm up a bit at first, wasn't really getting anything in. Although lx was helping me a lot :s

(On the sidenote, after she left, i kind of played a little better. I think i get distracted easily)

After pool-ing (i know right, sounds like we just went to the swimming pool or something), we went to JP to grab some munchies. I grabbed a baguette from Delifrance (they are devilishly tasty) while als grabbed these small little cakes which cost $1.50 each (he got 8 of them).

~~~
I also went to watch Hallpass with mel yesterday. It was a interestingly funny show revolving on relationship setbacks and repairs. Anyway, what made the show funny was the events that happen when the guys got their "hallpass".

I don't think i would go on to the details of the show, but i'll drop a rating.

3.5/5

~~~
Anyway, today is the 4th day im having school and i've really been looking forward to it. Just registered for Japanese 3rd language module. I can't wait for the class to start next week. Im hoping it would be a Japanese teacher unlike the Singaporean teacher from the community centre.

Aside from that, im also starting to get worried about maths for the course im doing. I kept asking myself whether it was a fatal move to select DIT. I guess the only answer i'll get from is from time itself.

~~~
TL;DR version
Money. Fun. Lifestyle.

Hi,

My daily ritual this month has been a mindless rotation of working, eating and sleeping(and playing :x). Just landed myself a new job 2 weeks ago at Night Safari Singapore @ Bongo Burgers as mentioned on the previous post.

Anyway, recently i've been playing this really interesting game on facebook with the gang...



The hooking point of this game which gets us hooked is because of the cute characters and the fantastic eye candy from the skills. There are currently 4 chapters with tons of missions which you can master to get skill points from. You can also initiate a offline party with your friends who are playing the game on facebook!

Anyway, if you're playing this(and if you are one of my friends on facebook) do add me up!

~~~
While surfing through the net, i thought of an old song...


Tongue Tied - Faber Drive

Aite, that's all for tonight. Time for some hardcore gaming before tomorrow... oops i meant later. Phew, i blogged through the stroke of midnight =s

PS: If you're an avid reader of my blog, you probably know that i LOVE reading. Well, i was thinking of writing a anime based fiction on text... But i know i won't get to it... Who knows?
