Jiayou Mister Lyon!

Was intending to take a rest tonight and forget abt the lab reports and assignments for a while. I actually spent my whole sat churning out 2401 report, but seriously, it is easier than 2164 which I am still directionless…..I need to read up more on reinforced concrete, this mod just gets tougher and tougher. Lecturer is okay, kept on ensuring his student “Don’t worry, don’t worry!”. Yup, wait till the quiz is here. Two 2164 quizzes scheduled and the date of the first one is not even announced yet. Already week 8 le. Maybe it is just me, my attitude towards civil modules. Other than infrastructure and uncertainty, I just can’t seem the love the rest. Maybe I should learn how to love them…….

Had a “fruitful” sat. It didn’t turn up well as the event was so unexpected. Went to christine’s house to get some stuff and was stuck at the voideck cuz my car suddenly couldn’t start up. Panic! Started to call for help. Then the serviceman took his own sweet time to come and change the battery. In the end, I wasted an hr and a half just waiting for him to arrive. Anyway, hiccups like this really gave me an opportunity to learn more abt the different parts of the car and how they function. Now I know how to check the battery le….lolz….

Wanna take this opportunity to apologize to meiling, didn’t feel good to misplace her tutorial notes. Sometimes I wonder what’s happening to me this year, first is faiqah’s ext cord, then my thumbdrive, now is meiling’s notes…..Now is only March, I am just afraid of what’s coming up in the future…..*scared

Song Recommendation of the Week:
Jason Mraz – I’m Yours

The intro of this song would make u think that it is a Jack Johnson tune, I thought so, but nope, this is beautifully done by the Geek in the pink, American singer-song writer, Jason Mraz. Most people would know him from his very first hit single “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry)”. Sadly, his previous “Mr A-Z” album didn’t do that well and now he is back with a brand new album “We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things” set to release in May this year. This first single features the variations of Jason’s voice and I admit I really love the rhythm. Amazing song, the words are like poetry and his voice makes the words just float in the air.

Learn from the lyrics, do not hesitate, go for it! This song really describes my mood man...

Btw, I give this song 3.0 out of 5 星星s....

Untitled

It is really difficult to break the 'ice'...

Not everyone can.....

Frustrated, hesitating, scared... =s

Sch reopens....

Attended harmonica concert with qt on sat. Decided to ask her out since I haven been hanging out with her often ever since I entered uni, and she going to graduate really soon. The splendid performance brought back beautiful memories. Still remembered those days when we performed during syf, hehe, the thought of it just makes me feel old. Then went for haagen ice cream at Holland V but were disappointed that the waffle went out of stock (we were told 15 mins after we made our order). So funny cuz qt was really hungry. I know she was abt to strangle the waiter. lol….

Actually I have always wished to see my own classmates perform. Wangqi was part of the ensemble too, probably her last performance in sch before she leaves for France next sem for 2 years. Really amazing how this friend can cope with so many ccas and still maintain her grade.

Recently, I just realized actually a handful of my current classmates have love problems. Maybe I am that kind of person whom people like to confide in. Or maybe I am good in keeping secrets. I can’t imagine I actually chatted with one of them yesterday night till 3am, talking abt bgr stuff.

It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. This is so true……

Song Recommendation of the Week:

Simple Plan – When I’m Gone

These guys are experimenting with a dancier sound this time round. But I guess they are sticking to pretty familiar territory on this third studio album, which maybe explains the unclever self-title “Simple Plan”. Perhaps the plan for this one is really that simple. lol…okie, this single proves that they are always ready to try on new stuff, thinking outside the box when it comes to their own music. This 1st single adds a bit of funky electronic loops to classic rock guitars, crackled with edgy, funky energy and a huge poppy chorus. Produced by Dave Fortman of Evanescence and Timbaland….shiok!

...

Btw, I give this song 4.0 out of 5 星星s....

Leap day!

Today is Feb 29, a date that occurs only every four years. For those who are born on this day, Happy Birthday! It’s been a long wait. According to some known sources, this is the only one day that a woman can propose to her partner. This isn’t practiced in Singapore though, only in Ireland and UK….The norm is still the norm…

Mid term break ending really soon, lab reports, projects, assignments, they are just piling up. And I tend to get easily tired these days. Lots of people are studying, I can tell, just by stepping into Central Lib and YIH study area. Good for them but bad for me, haha, cuz I am stuck with my 2164 lab report, no directions whatsoever. I think I gonna stop and just move on with other stuff. 5 mid terms, 1 has passed (I think I did okay, a consolation, but must still wait for result to be released). Recently, I have been seeing my 2183 tutor for consultation, though I disturbed him quite a few times, but he is really a nice guy la. I really wish all my tutors are like that.

I think I am having too much fun, slacking, going on friendster, chatting on MSN till 2am. Everyday is passing by so quickly. Did up a schedule for this recess, but didn’t follow closely. Hehe…anyway, was invited by Lawrence for a dinner party on wed. Turnout was pretty good, thumbs up for the food, cooked by his mum who looked to be in her 40s, but she is actually in her 60s, shhh…..lol. Left early anyway, cuz I do not know a lot of ChESS people also, some I knew didn’t up, only a handful.

Went to watch Kungfu Dunk with her at vivo this evening, had planned to catch it two wks ago but encountered some small hiccups. Won a pair of GV movie passes on cny eve, had to put them to “good use” anyway. Actually wanted to catch Leap Years but the good seats are alr gone. Singaporeans are really fast, but what’s more memorable than catching this movie on the day itself. Anyway, the brownies with vanilla ice cream at harbourfront breeks are really delicious, next time I would definitely order again...

Had a little chat on msn with shuling this morning, was pondering on what she had mentioned, maybe it is time to start to reach for goals....

Everybody should.......it is just part and parcel of life....though there would be obstacles waiting for us to overcome...

好疲倦!

好累好累，

不知怎么的， 我好想放弃。。。

但我始终做不到。。。

无限的付出，真的能够开花结果吗?

Webcast Marathon alone....

Another good friend taking driving test today, best of luck Meiy…Jiayou!

Came early to sch today, starting my webcast marathon. Not sure wat’s the reason, I just can’t watch it at home, it takes forever to load. Then I fed up le. Actually came last sat, but ivle on maintainence. Oh well…

Today marks the start of week 6, first test coming on Thur….scared, worried….esp when u take a mod which there are so many geniuses taking….things are just heating up…

Song Recommendation of the Week:
Melee – Can’t Hold On

Hmm, how do u pronounce the name of this band? No, not “Me-Lee”, not “Mei-Li”. It Is actually pronounced as “Me-Lei”. Coming all the way from California, this 4-member pop band has been around since 2004. Recently, they made a comeback with this new album “Devils and Angels” and the #1 hit “Built To Last”. Since then, people have been wondering if Melee is one of those one-hit wonder band. Well, not until they hear this follow-up single “Can’t Hold On”. The tune sounds a bit like Red Jumpsuit Apparatus “Your Guardian Angel”, where it gets louder and louder towards the end of the song. This is a pretty emotional ballet. Hold back your tears as memories of the past flow through your mind. This song is going to be big….trust me..

If your friend is feeling down, dedicate this song to him/her…..

[Chorus]

But if you can't hold on

Let it go and come back in your heart

And if you can't hold on

Maybe it's not time for you

And if you can't hold on

On your very last try

I'll be there in the morning to pull you through

Btw, I give this song 4.5 out of 5 星星s....

Happie 23th Birthday to Peishan!!!

Peace and joy in every way, smile always ^^

鼠年行好运

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! 恭喜发财!

The year of rat is a good year for those ox-es like me, in terms of wealth, love and career. But it seems like every year is the same. Sometimes I wonder if it is really true, not that I totally don’t believe in horoscope. Anyway, was really ‘high’ (not that shake head kind) on new years’ eve counting down, so much so that I actually develop a slight fever on 初一, but still continue to bai nian, lol, cuz normally the ‘harvest’ is the greatest on the first day. No lar, I am not those greedy kind, just that I would feel a bit rude if I didn’t visit my close relatives that day. Steamboat was nice, I love the wanton shrimp my ah ma made. Sianz, have to control my diet these few days le, those pineapple tarts, bak kwa, love letters, lots of goodies waiting for me leh….Arggg.....

On the bright side, Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Go ahead and feel the love in the air……

Song Recommendation of the Week:
Collin Raye – Love, Me

If u are looking for classic country love ballads, u can’t miss his Love Song Collection album. Collin is, in my opinion, one of the best at singing love tunes, and making you remember the feeling of falling in love. This number needs no introduction, it’s everyone’s favourite…..

To those married or attached, happy Valentine’s Day. Enjoy..

To those who are single and looking, jiayou worz…

Btw, I give this song 4.5 out of 5 星星s....

Careless Me

Recently I have been really careless, first I lost a receipt file for Zusammen, then somehow Faiqah's extension cord didn't return to ChESS Room. The loss of that file almost made me cry on sat night, a few hundreds spent and I needa claim. I dunoe y I volunteered to be i/c of financial in the first place. Abt that ext cord, I am still searching, dun feel nice to take yongkai's to give back to faiqah. Now doing up the post event report. Hopefully it can be done b4 New Year.

Just read kailuen mei's blog abt guys and gals and how they shd treat the other half. Suddenly felt a lil emo, but I kind of agree what she commented abt guys. Yup, we should always take the initiative. I would be a bit afraid if it is the other way. Girls always like surprises, they are always eager for their loved ones to start asking them out. They would keep quiet first, wait a while, if need be, start hinting. Most guys kno, but there are a handful who are a bit insentitive and this is when conflicts start appearing, with girls accusing the guys of not caring for them. lol, that is what I often see on TV leh. But seriously, if u want a relationship to work well and last forever, both parties have to do their part. Don't expect what he/she can do for u, but just do what u think u can do for him/her. It's the thought and sincerity that matter and this is when both parties would feel the sweetness. =)

Girls are girls, they always want someone to care for them.

Zusammen a sucess | New Year coming !

The year of pig is departing us very soon. Time really flies, so fast that I dun even have the time to do spring cleaning this year. But I did manage to tidy up my room yesterday, threw away lots of stuff, things which I treasure a lot in the past but just seem meaningless to keep them now. They just dun appeal to me this time round. Haha, as the saying goes, 旧的不去, 新的不来, if the old doesn’t go, where got space for the new ones to come? Some things don’t go though, good memories, happy moments, I just can’t afford to lose them….

Zusammen was held on sat, wanna say a word of thanks to those who sms-ed me the day before, though my phone batt went flat on Fri night. Guys, it was a success, 谢了! Weather was perfect on sat morning until it started to drizzle during lunch. The 11 teams were sporty and all were going for the top prize, though it was only 100 bucks. But overall, I must say the response was really good this year, all thanks to the publicity and the seniors who encourage their classmates to participate. The whole welfare comm were working really hard to make this major project a successful one…..Planning was done early, everything was under control……Also had a fun time working with pinyun ever since the Dec hols when we started planning. I must say this girl can really go far in future….

Mister Lyon seldom complain and he is not those kind of guys who would easily get pissed off. Indeed, many pple were happy that Zusammen was a success, seriously, I wasn’t. Almost lost my cool at some point in the day, but in the end, I didn’t. Sometimes it takes just a few hours to see the true characters that my classmates / teammates portray. I am not going to mention any names cuz I just wanna use this space to vent out my frustrations b4 enjoying new year. Apparantly, some people just cannot appreciate what others have done for them. Programme list was sent to all a few days before the event, nobody commented on anything, so I assume everything is in order. Then the game fixtures were suddenly altered without any reason by a higher position exco member. Such a last min decision, doesn’t he know that there is a lot of things to be done just by changing the fixtures. We have to go inform the 11 teams and the helpers on the actual day. And I can’t imagine my own teammate telling me that she never print the programme list since she doesn’t expect wet weather that day. Come on, u are in charge of wet weather, how can u take chances? Lucky it didn’t rain heavily that day, the rain stopped when we were abt to start the 2nd half of Zusammen. But at least, I do expect my own teammate to respect my work and start taking initiative to do things on her own, dun rely on me just because I am nice. I do not have the qualities of a ‘Nice Guy’ yet, I do have my own flaws. I try to always help my friends, but if people do not care abt what I have done, there is no point being the nice guy anymore. Ok, enuf complaining abt Zusammen people. Now I really wanna say something abt this classmate of mine. Yes, EVE classmate, in fact, I still remember Meiy did post something abt her a year ago. I am referring to that same person, if Meiy still rem. Recently, this classmate of mine approached me and I lent her one of my Textbks to do some photocopying. It is a new book but I really dun mind lending her. But what I cannot accept is that she actually left the book in the care of another person and she never inform me at all. All the while, I thought she had already started to do the photocopying since I told her I wanted the book back b4 New Year. I am not angry with her for lending the book to another person (also a gd friend of mine), I am just annoyed that she did not even let me know until I asked her. She just smiled and didn’t say anything. That Zusammen afternoon, I didn’t speak to her at all. To many, this may be a trivial issue, u can say I am petty, like to blow things up, but I guess everyone of us demand a certain level of respect from our peers.

Now I feel better, am going to leave those unhappy memories behind and cross over to the new year. At least today I can still joke and smile during lectures. Mister Lyon is like that one, even though he feels moody and frustrated, he always tries to hide it…….

Song Recommendation of the Week:
Corrinne May - Shelter
