Moving on...

Get over the setbacks and continue on...

Moving closer....

2009-11-12T23:07:00.000-08:00

Nowadays I have got a special feeling that I am reaching my goals. This semester so far has been an enriching and meaningful one. I've made a lot of new friends and professors who try their very best to teach all the curious students in class.

Seems like 2 of my pillars are quite stable...now moving on the the third...

Happy Birthday...

2009-06-09T08:42:00.000-07:00

Happy birthday...how I wish I could celebrate your birthday for you but fate just doesn't allows...Hope you are as cheerful as ever and achieve the best in whatever you do (I know you can do it)

Part time or full time?

2009-06-03T23:18:00.001-07:00

Hmm some of my friends are asking me, if my financial planning job a part time or a full time job. I don't treat financial planning as a part time job and neither do I treat it as a full time job as well. I treat it as my own business which I sell my service and to provide sound and reliable advices to all my clients. That's all :)

Grrr.....

2009-04-27T19:03:00.001-07:00

I need to be more hardworking. This vacation is making me a slacker...

Looking for car

2009-04-09T18:43:00.000-07:00

I was doing my routine stuff (checking out cars on the website) after I was sick and tired of mugging and I realise that buying a car is not as easy as it seems. The problem is not with the $ but the things that the buyer has to look out for. Here are some of those:

1) Fuel consumption (We're in a world where we will be seeing a $200/barrel oil in near future)

2) Brand (I think it is personal preference. But I'm sick of seeing Hondas and Toyotas on the road even though I'm do not have anything against them)

3) Comfort (Leather seat is a must, together with LCD display with other high tech stuffs)

4) Ease of driving (Heard that european cars and japanese cars feel different with driving)

5)Safety (It has to withstand collision and its better to have more airbags)

Therefore after factoring all these mentioned, I realise that this fits me :)

A new Volkwagen Golf! Why is this so?

1)Decent FC (17km/L), and annual road tax is cheap.

2)A Volkwagen!

3)Nice seats with LCD display. It has the outlook of my favourite BMW 1 series and Audi A3

4)Has a twin-charged engine for a nice cruise. 8 secs to reach 220km/h

5)6 ABS airbags! (OMG)

This car looks yummy. I really wish that I can graduate soon and test drive this car before I dump my cash to get this baby. It's not expensive at all because SMU Economics graduates get 4k a month as starting pay according to a recent survey. Bleah. :)

I have realised for a long time that I have not been posting for quite sometime. I wanted to but I was rather busy for the past 2 weeks that's pretty disgusting. It's full of presentations and reports due. I am glad that I have cleared all of them smoothly and of course I hope I will score well for them too.

So what's left? A quiz tomorrow and exams the week after will generally sum up my busy semester. I will have more than 3 months of vacation! :) Have to make up for what I have not been doing during the normal school term. Will churn out the whole to-do-list after my FA quiz tomorrow!

Hmm I have to admit that I still think of her once in a while. But I do not want to see her. It's a mixed feeling. I think I will become speechless once I see her. What I can do now is just to look into her fb profile once in a while to see that she's doing okay. Hopefully she can achieve the things that she told me she wanted to this semester. I will be happy for her if she does.

This Valentines Day

2009-02-09T07:59:00.000-08:00

FlowerThought is having a rest for this year's valentine's day because one of the integral members is not in Singapore. Guess this year's valentine's day since I have no flower delivery to do, I better rest and mug more:). Sounds like a great idea to sleep and study throughout valentine's day.

梁静茹－亲亲

2009-02-05T04:53:00.000-08:00

I am now listening to this album which was released 2 years back, and I have to say this is the best album that she has released. Almost all the songs inside are nice. Here's 2 of my best-liked songs

As usual, take note of the lyrics. Very meaningful:)

Busy busy

2009-02-05T04:43:00.000-08:00

I'm so busy this week, have got 2 presentations and a quiz. Thankfully I have cleared the presentations, or else I won't be typing this blog now. But I still have a quiz tomorrow, hopefully I can do well. Guess I have to wake up super early to revise already:(.

Here's a nice picture that I got from my sister yesterday:)

My aim for bull year-> meet more people :)

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

2009-01-24T18:17:00.000-08:00

Went for make up class yesterday due to holidays for chinese new year. After lesson went alone to shop in orchard in search of a pair of new shoes. Walked from Wheelock place to Paragon to Heerens, but didn find any. Finally I went to Cine. and found it! lol. It's very comfortable and the price is very reasonable (<$100). After that went home and began spring cleaning of my room. Managed to clear a lot of rubbish in my room and now my room is less dusty! lol. Hmm I have to help my mum with the praying and cleaning of the dining table/chairs...can't wait for the steamboat later in the evening:). I want abalone!

Gong Xi Fa Cai to everyone!

Today

2009-01-10T03:19:00.000-08:00

I was busy for the whole day. In the morning I went to PS to meet my first client. After that I met up my friend at SMU to go down to a shop in Bradell together to change the rubber of my table tennis bat because I am changing my playing style, and hence the need to change the rubber. Now my bat has pimples on one side already :(..but it has lost a lot of weight and it feels lighter now. Yay!

It has pimples which no medication of cleansing lotion can help, but it has become lighter and enables me to be faster during the game.

After changing the rubber, I went to Tampines Mall to meet my pal's gf, and was surprised to find that he was with her too. That's lucky because without him it would have been a boring journey from Tampines back to Bukit Panjang instead of chatting :). It was a super long journey back home! :(

I'm super shag now, but later still have to work to generate the BIs for my clients and read up a bit of working/school stuff.

Ideal place to live if got $ next time

2008-12-24T03:48:00.001-08:00

Well having a nice house is important, but having a cosy and harmony family is even more important.

This week: 22-28 Dec

2008-12-23T04:40:00.000-08:00

I have applied a week off to enjoy myself this week. Monday was a very happy day for my. In the morning I went to a Wii gaming party organized by my pal. I have to say that the gaming party goes on very smoothly, and there is no hiccups at all. Well done! I get to know new friends also during the party, and of course I've met my pal's girlfriend also. She is a nice girl! :)

In the evening I attended my sister's ROM. Of course being her only brother, I have to do something for her. I burnt the disc with songs suitable for the occasion but unfortunately the speakers at the function hall were not working...argh. I was also the camera man, well maybe to say one of the camera men for the function..hahaha. Pictures to be uploaded soon.

Hmm..I've learnt a lot about ROM things during these few months. So guys if you need to plan when to pop the question, where to book nice buffet and place for ROM, do feel free and look for me! wahahaha

The Story of Wealth Management

2008-12-23T04:32:00.000-08:00

I was reading through the Business Times Weekend (20-21 Dec) and discovered a great article written by Christopher Tan, who is the CEO of Providend. He gave several arguments that banks are not a place to get financial advice. He said'

"Banks are not the place to get financial advice. Their department is a flwaed one. One department is getting you to spend future money, another is getting you to save. This is not the principle of good financial planning"

The recent saga proves this point. So guys, if you are going to plan your financials, get advice from a company who is dealing with financial planning.

M5 lesson today

2008-12-11T05:32:00.000-08:00

Julian taught for the first half of the class. The second half of the class was taken by another trainer Steven. He has a lot of work experience and he is a natural presentor. Thoughout his class he never fails to tell us stories that relates to his experience and the lesson. I really learnt a lot from him today. Well, even though his class is interesting, I never fail to be in my own wonderland once in a while. Surprisingly today my artistic cells are active (They are never active after secondary school), before I picked up my pencil and drew this:

Hmm...I wonder if it's a guy or a girl that I drew...hahahaha

Cookie making session + Pass M5 test = happy =)

2008-12-10T08:02:00.000-08:00

Quite a few things happened to me on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, I went to my best pal's place to learn how to make delicious cookies. He has really mastered the art of cookie making and he taught me how to make two types of cookies, which is the hard cookie and the subway-type soft cookie. We started off the day with baking the hard cookie. Pictures explain more than a thousand words! :)

Dought for hard cookie after adding and mixing the ingredients

Adopted from the technique of making 汤圆 by making the dough into little balls，this method enables the cookies to have a nice round shape by just pressing them gently on the baking tray

My first hard cookie! Though it does not looks nice but it taste good k...even my parents and my sis said so:)

Hard cookies fall in! :)

Next we proceeded to bake the soft cookies. The steps involved are more complicated.

Dough for soft cookies. The dough is significantly softer and stickier

Soft cookies done! More chocolate chips added compared to the hard ones.

Thats my cookie making experience. I went for my M5 test on Tuesday. Quite an easy test and I was the second person to complete it. I passed..woo hoo!

Bolt

2008-12-07T06:35:00.000-08:00

This morning when I was on my way to PS for work, I was greeted by...

A live size Bolt! Hahaha! It has the height that reaches my butt, I think. Well, it does reminds me of 小白 that prosess super power. 加油小白！

Bought an in-ear earphone with the detachable mic extension for my iphone at a super reasonable price. The in-ear earphone is a minor issue, what's important is that now I can use the mic extension with my audiotechnica baby so that I can listen to good quality sound while always ready to receive any phone calls:).

Oh yeah, I'm so excited for my cookie lession tomorrow taught by my best pal, and of course also meeting his girlfriend for the first time:)

简单爱

2008-12-05T07:51:00.000-08:00

追求简单的爱其实一点也不简单。在追求这份简单爱的过程中我难过，失望了。但我从来没有后悔。或许我真的没有天份吧。

Route to become a financial planner...

2008-12-04T19:44:00.000-08:00

ITC1 considered done, now left M5 test (on Tues) and ITC2 (Wed to Fri) before I will become an official financial planner. To me thats the easy part, the real challenge will come after I become a financial planner, which is the route to enter MDRT. I must keep my enthusiatic and passion high to succeed! :)

卓文宣-超級喜歡

2008-12-03T06:56:00.000-08:00

Had a chance to listen to the latest album by Genie Zhuo and her voice is really very sweet! Her voice and songs really perks me up for the day. Her looks-long hair, big eyes and fair complexion is what every guy (including me) likes:). Also, she has a voice that can hit high notes so easily.

I love Genie!

Recommended songs: 一句话, 独家快乐,下个幸福

First day of Financial Planner class

2008-12-01T17:40:00.000-08:00

I was attending my first day of class to become a licensed financial planner yesterday. It was an eye opener as I got to see and know people from different occupations wanting to become a financial planner:

1) An engineer with a semicon company
2) A taxi driver turned property agent
3) An IT analyst in a bank
4) A boss who owns shops

3 more days of ITC1 to go! Must endure :)

Broken Libra

2008-12-01T17:33:00.000-08:00

Some said Libra's supposed to be a flirtacious horoscope, but hey I feel like a broken libra now. Compatible with Gemini? Haa funny.

What is love?

2008-12-01T09:25:00.000-08:00

What is love actually based on? While I agree that it has to be based on mutual feelings, how is it possible that a guy who likes a girl did nothing to make the girl know? Same for the girl, how is it possible that she knows he is really the guy if the guy did not do anything at all for her?

I used to believe that mutual feelings are built on and the girl will appreciate what the guy does, not just by spilt seconds (Maybe because I'm ISTJ). So if a guy has been doing a lot of things for the girl that he likes, is the feeling built on the girl's side? I used to think it is possible but now I totally disagree with it.

If it is purely based on feelings, then maybe I should just hack care, and then suddenly wow a girl has feeling for me..(how immature this based on feeling idea is). Maybe its naive also to think that a girl will be touched me through my actions. So in conclusion? Leave all to fate. :)

范玮琪 - 是非题

2008-11-27T05:36:00.000-08:00

This song is my current favourite. I find that the lyrics of this song is very meaningful. There is always a thin line between a friend and the person you love, and it is always very hard to say it out.

每段故事都有一篇剧情
每段爱情都像动人旋律
一颗真心却只向着你前进
也许爱越单纯越着迷

你是窗外另外一片风景
在你眼里我是什么关系
你的呼吸藏在我的爱情里
何时能诚实面对自己

我们从不开口那个言语　那一句我爱你
永远像少了勇气
别人都说
我和你之间的关系
没有人相信只有关心
我们从不正视那个问题
那一些是非题
总让人伤透脑筋
我会期待
爱情盛开那一个黎明
一定会有美丽的爱情

I have to score full marks for my macro exam!

2008-11-27T02:30:00.000-08:00

I feeling like buying...

2008-11-26T03:07:00.000-08:00

A Toyota Vios! It is quite cheap for a second hand car. For $30k you can drive it home. Well, even though I might have the capability to buy now if i pay by installment (which will fully stretch my budget), I still want to wait till I graduate, have a stable job, before even thinking of getting my own car. Why?

1. I listen to my humble sister, who told me that work for a year and save up more first before even thinking of getting a car. Of course I listen to her!

2. I know the importance of keeping cash, especially given the current situation, where there are lots of opportunities around.

3. A car is a liability and not an asset! :) I need to find ways to generate passive cashflow before getting a car

So, 3 more years to my metal horse!

Some thoughts on current situation

2008-11-21T19:03:00.001-08:00

I still remembered clearly during the wedding dinner which I have attended at the beginning of this year, I had a discussion with my officers and seargents when I was serving NS. They were asking for my opinion about the economic situation at that time. I told them that time that it was better to keep cash rather than doing any form of investments. Some of them were still quite optismistic that time and argued that sectors such as marine and constructions are still doing well and it's still safe to invest in them.

What they don't know is that the real industry performance lags economic performance. Now the real impact of the economy on all sectors are starting to show. Hopefully their investments are not affected in any form.

Singapore Mugging University + Vacation dream

2008-11-19T18:48:00.000-08:00

I'm in school now typing this blog, and time now is still 10.45am. It's crazy now that the library is filled with muggers. I bet some of them didn't even bother to go home as now the library is open 24 hours. Well, I still go home though because I want my bed:).

Seems like I have got quite a number of things to do during this coming vacation, I can name a few now first (confirmed ones)

1) Cookie learning session
2) Wii Party
3) M5 test
4) Sell Macs
4) Meeting up with sec. school and poly friends
5) Thailand trip
6) Attending sis's ROM and looking for her present
7) Christmas celebrations

Can't wait for the exams to finish now, even though I'm still not fully prepared:(

Perhaps a bit of stock market updates. Still don't look good, with all the companies (especially the automobile industry now) ranting for help and rescue package. Banks are still coming out with bad news and downgrading of companies. STI might be visiting 1500 soon. I would recommend buy on those nice blue chips like Noble, Olam (I love commodities!), Yanlord, Cosco (China is still growing, so no worry), SGX, Singel (For the steady flow of dividends). Buy these stocks and keep for long term (like what our sg govt does) and you should see substantial returns. (For reference only, do not strictly follow)

Updates!

2008-11-17T18:02:00.000-08:00

Hi all! For those who have been wondering where am I for these past few months, well basically I have been busy with a lot of things. Work and school are my focus now. Relationship wise...well I guess I will leave it to fate to decide. I have done all I can, but I will not give up and continue to give whatever I can.

Exams next week, I think I will not do well again this semester as I strive to do so before the beginning of the semester. Well, still the same old theory - try your best and who knows maybe you might reap very good results.

I told Aveline that I have lost the drive that I used to have during my Poly days, which was to study and study only aiming to get into university. I think now I have lost my focus, maybe it's time that I should stop and think what I really want.

STI is stagnanted now with so little fluctuations and volume. Seems like wave 3 should be here anytime soon (Maybe jan 2009 onwards). Get ready for a raliy!

Thank you Joan!

2007-12-29T07:08:00.000-08:00

I had 2 surprises today. First was that I sold my 11th mac today. Second was the christmas present from my store IC Joan. Its the keyboard shield from Capdase which I planning to get after getting my pay! Thank you Joan! I really adore this present. No more stain marks on my screen anymore:)

Keyboard shield from Capdase on. Notice that my Moshi wrist protector is still on

10 this month!!

2007-12-25T17:59:00.000-08:00

Haha thanks to the holiday and christmas season, I managed to sell 10 sets of macintosh system till now. Hopefully I can hit beyond that by the end of this month.

I realized that due to my work I have been neglecting the activities for my table tennis club and the preparation for my OCIP project. Must make up for it when school starts when I only work on Saturday.

Went to cousin Zaiwei's wedding dinner last Saturday. Photos uploading soon.

Road show and a very shrewd uncle

2007-12-01T07:27:00.000-08:00

Okay this was my fourth roadshow and I have to admit that this is the worst road show I ever had. 15 plus part timer was there for this road show and even if Im the top sales for the first 3 I would have done rather bad for this also. How do I put it. I mean lets just do a simple calculation, if 20 people are interested and there are 5 partimers, then chances are each part timer can get 4 sales. Now if there are 15 part timers, each part timer can only close 1-2. This case I would rather do show room instead cos don have to say that much even though lesser commission.

There was too many part timers and worst of all they were those kind of kids without experience. They will just rush to anyone they have in sight without seeing who actually serve the customer first. This ends up unhappiness among those kids themselves. I'm happy as I can help these kids if they have any questions ;)

Okay seems that IMM saved me from all the mess. I worked in IMM today helping ZJ cos IMM was short of man power. When ZJ was not around I happened to serve this old man with long brows and glowing face like those wise old man in the movie. He asked me if our shop has Leopard OS in a very strong tone because I couldn hear him for the first. Then I showed him the Leopard OS and he said it was expensive. Finally after some explanation he bought it. So during payment he asked me

Old Man: How long have u been working here?
Me: Eh 3 months plus to 4
Old Man: Then you seem rather inexperience
Me: Because I am a part timer and I don't work everyday
Old Man: So which school are you from?
Me: (Pause) University (Pause) SMU
Old Man: The Bras Basah one?
Me: Yeah

Then ZJ came back and wanted to explain to him about the lucky draw in English.

ZJ: (In Chinese) Okie now we have a lucky draw...
Old Man: Okay even though I am a chinese can you explain to me in English
ZJ: Okie (English)

Then after the payment the old man said

Old Man: 你有没有钉子？
Me: Huh?
Old Man: showing me the stapler hand sign
Me: Oh stapler you mean?
Old Man: Are you a foreigner?
Me: No
Old Man: Then how could you not understand the meaning?
Me: (Resilient) 钉子 could mean nail in English
Old Man: Thats a hard conversion for the meaning.

Then this old man requested me to write down my English and my Chinese name at the back of the receipt. This is the first time a customer has requested for it. Hmm... Damn strange but I got a feeling that this old man is not an ordinary old man.

Busy busy

2007-09-28T20:35:00.000-07:00

Suddenly life has become so fruitful and yeah so busy after my school started. I have several tasks in hand which i need to do. Hmm...Let me see (Not in order of priority):

1. Work!! (For $$)
2. Community service (For CIP hours)
3. Table Tennis (Need to help organize events and talent scouting)
4. School projects and study!!
5. Stocks and investing learning (For more $$ of course)

Vattey, these are the reasons i can give as to why I didn have much time to update my blog these few weeks...hahaha. Anyway hope you like the mooncakes :)

Quite enjoy my community service though. It is like a distressing session every friday, making lots of new friends and playing nice games together.

ISTJs and their relationships

2007-08-15T07:53:00.001-07:00

The ISTJ's word is as good as gold, and they honor their commitments faithfully. They believe that to do otherwise would be nothing less than a breach of honor and trustworthiness. Consequently, they take their vows very seriously, and once they have said "I do", that means they are bound to the relationship until "death do us apart" or otherwise. ISTJs are driven to fulfill their responsibilities and duties, and will do so with tireless effort. They will do their best to meet the obligations presented by the different relationship roles which they play during their lives, i.e. spouse, parent, offspring, etc. They may have difficulty showing warmth, but they frequently feel it in abundance, and most develop the ability to show it through sheer effort. If nothing else, the ISTJ holds the gold medal of all the personality types for Effort. They will put forth tremendous amounts of effort to accomplish goals which are important to them. If healthy relationships are among these goals, you can bet that the ISTJ will do everything that they can to foster and maintain healthy relationships.

"anyway is good to find gf that loves u more"

Status: Amber

2007-08-07T22:02:00.000-07:00

My status is amber now. For those who are thinking that if I'm on the verge of breaking up or on the verge of starting a relationship...........................................All wrong!! Haha. The amber status means those my unit is on alert, and it might get to red, which means activation!! I want my status red, but not for this kind of reason!! Lol...Never mind I need to protect the country. (Some of you might be already thinking, " Mai lai la" ) Haha!!

Hmm packed my field pack early this morning. Many thanks to Wei Ming, my ex-and-maybe- future gunner for sending me the list of stuffs i need to bring in case of acti. Gosh I really forgotten wat to bring already. To my surprise though, I realized that all my items are already packed!! Thanks to the good training I had received in Brunei..Lalala. This makes my packing even simpler

Hmm...I'm really thinking, what if I'm activated during my FTB camp...haa....

Simpsons and Imac

2007-08-07T16:49:00.000-07:00

Watched The Simpsons Movie on Sunday. Even though the price of the ticket is $9.50, I have to say that the quality of the movie justifies the price of the ticket. I was laughing from the starting of the movie to the end. I still love Homer Simpson the most, cos hes real funny..haha. Even the simpsons are trying to use the movie to promote green movement. Hmm...faster grab the stocks for green companies!! Lol...

As I was typing this blog, I was actually following the news of the newest Imac. The webcam quality of the previous IMac is so good that even Bart Simpson loves it!! Haha.

Took pic with Eddis and Iska as well as the Homer and Bart Simpson during the latest mac roadshow@IMM. A bit blurry cos that helpful assistant obviously has shaky hands

Oh yah back to the release of IMac. Hmm... It looks a bit like IPhone to me actually, a larger version of it. (Photos courtesy of AppleInsider)

Too bad the heavily rumored touchpad keyboard is not released though. I'm sure Apple will release it one day.

Got a new wrist cover for my macbook. Recommended

2007-06-29T04:49:00.000-07:00

Just got a new wrist cover for my Macbook from Moshi. Very nice feeling and it provides a very good protection for the wrist, ie to prevent it from turning black, scratches etc. It comes with the protection for the trackpad as well. Definately value for $$. I would recommend this to all Macbook users.

Protects the wrist area as well as the trackpad area

By Moshi (Highly recommended)

IPhone, 7 more days before official launch

2007-06-22T07:56:00.000-07:00

As I started my first day of work at the apple shop today, I have received queries from customers about the IPhone. Relax!! Im as anxious too!. 7 more days to official release:)

I want this!!

2007-06-05T03:33:00.001-07:00

Waiting patiently as my N70 replacement:

My sister just came from her Taiwan/Hong Kong trip yesterday midnight. She bought loads of things as expected. She bought 3 T-shirts, an ankle sock (As requested by me but I did not request black!) and a cute mickey mouse keychain...hehe. Thank you sis!

"Army" T-shirt...luvs the "blink blink" dog tag..haha

Einstein's my idol! Besides his scientific accomplishment

2007-05-25T05:41:00.000-07:00

Found in an album by a girl named Anna Schmid whom Einstein flirted with,

You girl small and fine
What would I inscribe for you here?
I could think of many a thing
Including also a kiss
On the tiny little mouth.

If you're not angry about it
Do not start to cry
The best punishment is-
To give me one too.

This little greeting is
In remembrance of your rascally little friend.
Albert Einstein

(Taken from book "Einstein" written by Michael White and John Gribbin)

Who Were U in Ur Past Life

2007-05-23T19:13:00.000-07:00

Try this to find out who were you in ur past life!!

http://www.thebigview.com/pastlife/

Heres mine:
Your past life diagnosis:
I don't know how you feel about it, but you were male in your last earthly incarnation.You were born somewhere in the territory of modern South of Latin America around the year 1300. Your profession was that of a chemist, alchemist or poison manufacturer.
Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
You always liked to travel and to investigate. You could have been a detective or a spy.
The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:
You should develop your talent for love, happiness and enthusiasm and you should distribute these feelings to all people. Do you remember now?

Hmm always have this feeling that Im a female in my past life though..Lol. Im a chemist in my past life?? Then how come my organic chem still sucks? Hehe...

Created my first podcast today!! Haha

2007-05-17T08:14:00.000-07:00

Went for the workshop seminar @ ishop organized by MACNUS and conducted by representative from Apple. The speaker (known as Choon) conducted the seminar in a fun and interesting manner. We learnt how to make our own sound files using garageband and publish to Itune as podcast. Yipee!! Made my very first podcast today. We also learnt how to use Imovie, IDVD as well. Choon also taught us how to make and print our very own customized calender using iphoto. He also recommended some very good programs for us. Had a fruitful day today.

Lots of Mac workstation for us to use during the workshop

After the workshop went to meet up with Guan Liang for dinner at NYDC. Because I am vegetarian today so I ordered a pizza with only mushrooms, think its called mushroom delights. Taste not bad though, even I still perfer if there are some meat inside. Lol. Then went to the gundam shop @ cine. Wanted to get a gundam but Guan Liang said the price will get cheaper somewhere. So I managed to control myself and didn buy it. I bought a mini DVI to VGA cable for my MacBook though. Yay now I can use my mac on my Bravia. Hurray!!

Im too excited to sleep!!

2007-05-04T10:17:00.000-07:00

I should be going to bed now, as i still need to meet up with Guan Liang for gym session later. However Im too excited too sleep!! Reason? I just checked my online status and Im accepted by SMU for its Economics program!! Rather excited over it. Geez guess I have to cool down and get to bed soon.

Finally completed a gundam model bought a year ago

2007-05-03T21:24:00.000-07:00

Finally assembled a gundam model bought about a year ago as I only have the luxury to do it now. Its my favourite Gundam Double X. Thanks to Guan Liang who help me to find this gundam model. Even though I have finished assembling, I still have not "outline" the gundam yet. I will be getting a new gundam marker soon before I start to outline as my old marker is used up.

Double X on guard

Double X making short range attack

Double X making mid-range attack

Double X making its most powerful attack!!

A day with parents

2007-05-01T06:05:00.000-07:00

As some you guys might know, I have completed my last paper on Monday. So being so free and since today is the 15th of lunar month, went with my parents to 四馬路觀音廟 to pray. Its more crowded than normal days, guess its due to the reason that today is a Public Holiday.
After that daddy took us to this temple which has a rather long history and quite popular among tourists. It is the famous 妈祖廟 located at Philip Street.

After that we went to Marina Square instead of the initial Ngee Ann City to have our lunch and shopping before going home. Just when we were about to cross the road to go to the bus stop beside Esplanade, daddy suggested that we have some ice-cream. Very traditional type of ice-cream, with bread wrapping it...haha. Reminds me and of course my parents of our childhood days...haha. I will definately recommend it...5 scoops of ice-creams of different flavors wrapped by a piece of bread for only $1 !

Thats all folks for the day

Finally!! Phew...

2007-04-29T22:37:00.000-07:00

Finally the last paper ended this morning. Hmm..its the first time im late for exams...haha...but luckily not that late..abt 5-6 minutes. Now is the results waiting and job hunting time

4 down 1 to go!!!

2007-04-24T07:37:00.000-07:00

Have finished 4 papers. Now waiting for the last on which is the most terrifying one (organic chem) to come. Think I have flunked the previous 4 though..lol

Any tuition assignement to intro?

2007-04-14T08:56:00.000-07:00

For those who caught sight of my blog and have "lobangs" for tuition, can intro to me? I will be free from 30 April onwards. Thanks:).

Mac ram upgrade and chemistry lab

2007-02-02T05:19:00.000-08:00

No classes today. However I still went to school to meet up with ryu to purchase rams from him for my macbook. I paid a total of $300+ for 2*1gig rams and the fee for MacNUS membership. Yipee now I am the official member of MacNUS and my macbook is running much smoothly than last time when it was 2*256mb ram. I find that the money is spend worthwhile:).

When to my first organic chemistry lab yesterday. There's a lot of girls in the lab:). Not surprising though since there are more girls than guys studying Chemistry in NUS. The girls to guys ratio in my lab session is about 3 out of 10. Thats why I enjoy my lab session yesterday...haha. I made a new friend from Chemistry yesterday. His name is Terence and same as me he is from polytechnic also:). Thanks to his help my lab session went on smoothly. I have not done any chemistry lab session since O'Level and therefore I am rather excited about the lab. Terence is very helpful along the way to make sure that I get a hang of the lab apparatus and procedures. Haha the end product which I have refined was very pure as it's melting temperature is very close to the ideal:).

Words from Physics lecturer

2007-01-30T00:44:00.000-08:00

Attended the physics lecture today. As usual my physics lecturer, who is also the lecturer of those smart USP students, told us the importance of not to be over reliance of lecturer and model answers, and the differences of school life from the real world. Actually I have already realized it my first semester, however I am still in the process of becoming a "real" university students. I went to asked him how to do some of the questions of Mastering Physics, but he just briefly went through the process. So being a student in transformation I have to work out the answers by myself later. I just feel that my physics lecturer is quite strict with his students even if he is quite friendly sometimes. After hearing his words, I do realise that actually there are a lot of students who are so obssessed with model answers so they actually could not accept any mistakes and make their lifes full of worries. Suddenly I doubt what so many years of education has given us. I definately agree that it is important to gain as much knowledge as possible by going to school so as to be able to take up professional jobs next time to do the work well (Or else nobody goes to school already). However we should also be aware that what the school teaches are not all in our lives. We should be able to handle some other problems which may arise and we do not learn that problem in school. Think that simply means we need to think more, and think more laterally too...haha

RIP 瑋倫

I still could not accept the news. Such a young and talented girl leaving us so soon. I'm not in a good mood today because of this accident.

Wai Sing farewell dinner

2007-01-27T18:48:00.000-08:00

Went for Wai Sing's farewell dinner at pizzuhut@ps. Thanks to Mike I managed to try the vegetarian pizza for the very first time. Hmm...It tastes quite nice actually, and like mike said the blandness of the pizza makes the taste of the cheese more prominent:). We were all discussing who should give the treat and when she asked pz to, she really broke all the guys heart when she said she couldn't because she still has a dog to feed. OMG does that means that guys are more "jian" then dogs?? Hmm I really wonder. However in the end nobody volunteered to give a treat and so we shared the cost among ourselves.
After accompanied Mike to withdraw money when we discussed where to go. KTV is too expensive and the thought of singing till 4am in the morning is simply crazy. I suggested The Mind Cafe instead. However the place was so crowded that we have to wait for around 2 hours before a table is available. Therefore we went to TCC for a drink instead. WS ordered Blue Mountain which costs more then 10 bucks!! But I guess thats what some people go to TCC for isn it? I don't quite know how to appreciate coffee so I ordered a Green Apple Twist which is actually green apple milk shake. Then PY gave her present to ws. It was a scarf knitted by py herself. How sweet of her!! Both mike and I agree that WS is a fortunate guy. Hey WS do something before you leave for Australia even though its like less then a week away (Hope you see this).
After the coffee session we decided that there is no other place to go so we bid farewell. In the bus Mike is still thinking of the PY and WS case. Man I think you need love too...lol...
Did a crazy thing by applying to SMU just in case NUS do not allow me to switch course. LY keep reminding about the school fees but I feel that it is okay since there is always bank loan. Well really need to sort out my thoughts. I took out all my academic credentials to apply online when I saw a printed copy of my course choice for polytechnics last time. I think I must be crazy to put biomed science in third choice since I have 100% confidence of getting any course I place in my first choice. Well I am still good now choosing biomed eng as my first choice last time isn it??Haha. If I chose biomed science the other time then I will have a totally new experience but not sure whether is it good or bad for me too. Thats me . I always like to compare now with past and future. It is good in a sense that you know what you are doing so there is a lower chance of making any horrendous error. Sounds chim?? Call me if you want to know more...haha

Hoo hoo finally weekend!!

2007-01-19T10:19:00.000-08:00

Finally survived a series of lectures and now is time to enjoy (and do tutorials also:(). Sadly lab sessions and tutorials are starting next week so will be more busy. I had a lot of fun this week with my OG mates and cousins.

Tuesday
Went for a dinner and movie with my OG mates. I'm glad to hear that all my OG friends are enjoying their first semester. So I guess only it will be only me who is having the thought of changing course. Anyway we discussed a lot of school stuffs and I heard that Erwin is rather worried about having to take General Biology since he has not been studying biology since secondary school days. Personally I feel that this module is just a lot of memorizing work and maybe some logical thinking so I told him that it will be easy (As I heard too from those who have taken it). We watched Pan's Labyrinth that day. I feel that if you are a literature type of person you will like that movie. It is not a horror movie as advertised. Rather the movie talks about a girl who has fantasies from a story book she read in order to draw herself away from the harsh life which she is having. Like Zhongyang said this movie is like an old movie because of the style of filming and the dark scenes throughout the movie. After the movie we went MacCafe for a drink before calling it a day.

Friday
Met up with my sister and my two cousins for dinner at Ding Tai Feng. After that Gao Rui suggested to play pool. After that pool game (10 games) we are all impressed with Gao Rui's skill. My sister and YanHao's skills have improved along the games too. It looks like polytechnic students can play pool better...yay!! Haha... After that we went to MacCafe for a drink and a couple of cakes before going home. (The brownie is very nice!!)

The Wicker Man

2007-01-11T23:12:00.000-08:00

We went to celebrate Nasty's birthday yesterday and after that we went to watch a movie titled "The Wicker Man". Sounds cool isn't it? However I only can give this movie a rating of 3/5. The setup is fine but the ending sucks(Go and watch if you want to know why it sucks). I don't want to be a spoiler though...haha. The plot of the movie actually reminds me of another japanese drama titled "Trick". This drama is about a physics professor and his assistant trying to solve mysterious happenings which are actually setups created by a group of people. Okay now back to the movie. Well after watching this movie I really have to agree that anyone with great power, even a genius with high IQ, have little or no chances trying to fight a group of people who are not genius. Try to imagine a ferocious tiger trying to fight with a swarm of bees and you can already make a guess who will win. Isn't it similar to human beings that we can achieve more when we work together?

Wats so good about being independent??haha

2007-01-10T05:56:00.000-08:00

A lot of us should have this experiences about being furious with our parents when we were unhappy about whatever decisions our parents have made for us (especially teenage years). However what if one day your parents are able to decide on a crucial decision? Only at that time you will realise the importance of our parents in our decision making...

Thank You!!

2006-12-27T22:22:00.000-08:00

Just in case some of you guys might wonder when I get my results, I actually got them on Tuesday (26 Dec). Well okay I cleared all the modules, but there is a particular module (Fluids) which pulls down my CAP drastically. Okay leave that aside, I want to use this blog to thank my lecturers who have taught me last semester which enables me to pull through my very first semester in NUS. I would like to thank Prof Edward Teo (Physics), Miss Loong (Acad Writing), Dr Lum (Chem), Prof Hooi (Physio), Prof Victor (Maths webcast!!) and Prof Chen (Fluids) for your effort in teaching me as well as the rest of the class and I have really learnt a lot in this rather short and challenging semester.

My Condolosences

2006-12-27T22:02:00.000-08:00

My condolosences to all those who died or injured during the Taiwan's earthquake and flood in Malaysia. What touches me the most was the Taiwanese mother who shieldind her children from the collapsing building and died in the process. Why must there be natural disasters?? Haiz...

There is a problem with my modem...

2006-12-27T21:54:00.000-08:00

Hi!! Finally I am able to post a blog today after 2 days. Well actually I am in school now using the school's network to go online. Why don't I use my house's connection? Well this is because my modem simply could not detect the ADSL network. Initially I thought that it is due to the Taiwan's earthquake thats why my house's network is down according to the news reported. However several of my friends said they can still go online just that the speed is very slow only. However for me I cant even go online at all!! Hmm...I guess I will have to search for a new ADSL2 modem with wireless router soon. Or else it will be very troublesome when the semester starts.

Why Are Some People so Protective of Him/Herself...for nothing

2006-12-25T23:53:00.000-08:00

Went to gym just now when I received an sms from this coursemate of mine. Well actually without much effort I can already guess he is going to ask for my results for this semester. I didn't tell him because my results will only be out on 5pm today. However he didn't trust me and keep asking me. Well actually I am not that interested in his results but I still ask him about his. Guess wat, he refuses to tell me until I tell him mine. My god I have already told him that mine is not out yet. Moreover what good will it do to me if i know his results? I really think he should think deeper into it. I am utterly disappointed in him due to the fact that we have been friends for so many years (From Poly till NUS) and he still wanna play this kind of trick. Come on lar don't be so childish. In the end I lied to him that I actually know the results because NUS leaked them out 1-2 weeks ago. So he told me his and complained to me however hard we study our results still so bad. Whatever because I am already very angry about this and I know I will most probably be failing a module when I know the results later.

Hi Everybody!!

2006-12-25T23:21:00.000-08:00

Hi!! Finally I have the time and willing to put in an effort to create a second blog (My first blog was never introduced to the public). Hope through this blog I can share my experiences with anyone reading it and hope to hope any comments from u guys also. Weilin finally I put up my blog url on friendster!! Haha. However I have got lots to do also to further improve the blog and making it more attractive.You might ask me, "Why call it GSBloggy??". This is because I have got a habit to name my tech stuffs with a "GS" in front and a "y" behind. Like my MacBook (GSwhizzy), Ipod(GSpoddy) and my phone (GSphoney). Well I guess thats all for now. Cheers!!
