2 months of contained excitment
REally wanted to post up the photos taken during this span of 2 months! nevetheless, being the handphone lagger who always underuse my phone. I found it impossible for me to do so without spending 2 hrs or so for that....



But NOW,


ITs post exams!


Have i mentioned how nicely decorated my room is during cny?













Or the vertical marathon?





Hong ming! mingjie, (whose legs to so long that her one who one steps equal to our 3 steps),and so long that she find it hard to stretch! And Kai jie... these 3 will are called Hong ming jie.... and of cos choon yan..


Then will be the kayaking expedition with hall 9 and i happened to know some of them... ...
Clarance and Han Ming..


Martin and jingkai.. with a guy in the middle who is so AA to suddenly jump in between...







Peisi and ah wayne... they are from my canoe polo... how i miss canoe polo...


This is chengwei's 22nd birthday present from Kanza. So nice....Hey wait, did i pay for the birthday present?
22nd already so old...
haiz.. I think that when someone reaches a certain age, he will not really think abt how old he is or maybe even forgot his age.
Nowadays, i will suddenly forgot my age and took a feel seconds to recall. Oh well..


This video was the birthday prank we played on kaiyang. Hopefully it will show out.This will be evidence of why the area outside lt2 became so stinky and disgusting..
Hey wait, or is this the video of weijie turning his head? cant rmb cos at this moment the video doesnt show...












I didnt realise my hp got such feature of putting heads into the template... how instiguating..

















Pre exams!
Presenting First class honours study plan!and battle room!
Well, we did all we can preparing the paper. And made unavoidable mistakes in one way or the other. Hence, There is nothing to regret about, is there?


















My last westen food with Weijie and Pans hall16. ITs super dry and expensive..Made me feel sad for promising myself that that would be my last westen meal.
LEts hope it dao bi fast fast...
I kind of missed the previous owner. Who uses chopsticks like hair sticks to pierce her hair nice nice...


The newly opened Execative Cafe! With grib tongue receptionist on the outside that lure u into the cafe. And pretty china waitress to serve you on the inside of the cafe. No doubt, its hard turn them down and had to visit the cafe 2 days in a row despite the steep prize of $4 a plate of noodles. (quite expensive considering its a school)
















New friend call mattirias (reading the menu).
A pity i get to know him during the exam period when i'm super anti sociable and had no mood to mix around with others.





See how underdress we all were. Felt rather out of place there....

out u go!
What is more scarier, creepier and disgustier than a lizard?

Well, i suppose that it must be a yellow lizard crawling around MY table.

Imagine coming back to my room, tired and worn out. Only to be greeted by a humongous yellow lizard on the table. Fortunately, kelvin ang was not in the room, else im sure his ear drums will burst.

Am sure anyone with the right mind will scream upon the sight of lizards, dont they? Its like, well who wouldnt upon seeing such creepy stuff. I know my father doesn't, who says anything abt him being normal have have a right mind? haha

Back in home, if a lizard pops out somewhere, everyone will be screaming and make a big fuss about it. And this is the time when all of us will love father deepdeep for coming to save us. Only to avoid him later as we knew he caught the lizard with his bare hands!

okok.. not that we really see him catching with his hands. No one really cares whether he use a plastic bags or gloves. The thought of him catching lizards were enough to make us hiding at one secluded corner with our eyes shut. All were too afraid to even look that such a gruesome process.

Anyway, the humongous yellow lizard ran into the shadow and disappeared.
For the first time during this exam period, i really wanted to call back home.
To call for reinforcement to come catch the lizard.
Nonetheless, knowing that no one will be there to help. I frantically, grab a book and started hitting the table. Hoping, that it can frighten the lizard out of my room.

What is more scarier, creepier and disgustier than a yellow lizard crawling around MY table?


I suppose that would be the thought (or the possiblity) of having a family of them hiding behind my table... ....

This time, my plants came to me and tell me that they need more sunlight and nutirients.
Human evolution i suppose, selection pressure of exams is able to force out this unique ability to communicate with plants in dreams.. yeah?

I wouldnt be surprise that after this period, u will find me talking to my pitcher plants and cactus. Or singing to them a lullaby to sleep... or even bathe, take them down for a walk on a leash and sleep with them... imagine hugging my cactus while sleeping...


7 days later, i will pick up my courage to tell something to someone.

But lets hope i can last till then...
Seriously, this exam is just like those video game in which i have to go thru stage 1 to 5. Where stage 1 is a warm up, imaging singapore and stage 5 is the final boss, Organic chemistry. And after every stage, you will be given opportunity to upgrade your weapons. Along the way, my weapons upgrade include, additional calculator, scissors and a magnifying glass...

Thurs is material science. I cant even finish reading everything and wenchuan tot that the paper was on wed...
Organic chem suddenly have 3 additional chapters to read.
Lets hope after material science i will be given better weapons upgrade..

And so i dreamt again.

This time i was in some building and i met another of my npcc junior whom i have not seen for 5 years, his name is Xiang something. Anyway, the dream involves alot running, finding people and solving problems.
Along the way i met tian yong, wang xin, alex and i couldnt contact mingzhou from the phone.

It was around halfway then i stopped and thought to myself.
This is so complex, i think i must be dreaming.. Hey wait! Isnt this the exam period now? how come i am here settling all these stuff. Oh my, i must be dreaming, must faster wake up to continue studying...

With that, i woke myself up from my dream, only to realise it is still early and went back to sleep again...

imagining Singapore
Imagining Singapore HL811 is my very first exam paper for this semester.
The paper starts at 5pm and guess what? I only started revising at 3pm.
Well, i wasnt going to make the same mistake as i had studying so hard for a subject i've SUed.
In fact, i already put in more than i should by attending all the lectures. And that was because this is really an interesting subject in the first place. Every lecture was just like a motivational session in which i was introduced to great people from the past who has great dreams of the future... I was mostly on time for the lecture, (only to realise that they lecturer take 15 mins to set up her slides and stuff. It never fails even until the very last lesson which she took 30 mins, that was the first time i purposely late for 15mins...)

Anyway, I wanted to have the sense of being a Big Shot, hence I stepped foot into the exam hall at 458pm, just timely enough to make myself comfortable before the commence of the paper. I guess, I tend to write alot more fluenent when i am not under any stress. (CErtainly, it is inversely proportional to the grammer mistakes i will make). WE just cant have the best of both worlds.
2 questions.
50 marks each.
And i decided to do one on poem analysis and another essay question on the "persuit of happiness."
Coming to realise, i was so comfortable in writing that i even include my own colloquial expression such as "Little people"

(To fans who doesnt know of this expression that i frequently blog. I am refering to people who doesn't have a dream and ambition. Most of the time they lead a routine life of blindly following what others are doing. Normally they just accept the things told and do accordingly, even if they are unhappy with it, they will just complain and doesn't make any attempt to change it. They live the life they are having not because they have to be but because they choose to be so...)

-----------------

Speaking about dreams, I had a few strange dreams recently.
During my dream, i lost one of my front tooth.
I was horrified and panicked. But then, i remembered that i had similar dreams like that before. So i told myself, this must be another dream, i will wake up now since it is so scary.
With that, i really woke up in reality.

Of cos i fell asleep soon after i felt my teeth were in place only to continue dreaming.
This time i met with two of my npcc juniors Samuel and Yoke Tin.
I had not seen yoke tin for 5 years. So when i see him in my dreams, I cant remember his name. Then i spent quite sometime before recalling its him.
Well, lets hope its not one of those premonition dreams.

Backfired
Finally, I broke down today.
During the eve of my first paper.

Hence, 14/04/2008 is totally wasted. I learnt nothing today and dont intend to do so. I will waste the rest of the day watching one piece, taking hot bath, listening to sun yanzi.

Even god need to rest on the 7th day, someone told me.

Actually, everything should be alright if my plan didnt backfire. I can't focus while thinking of 5 seperate things at the same time.

Tml will be my first paper. Im intending to start studying it tml.
I dont want to end up like last semester when i SU the subject ending up knowing how to do ALL the questions.
I will do badly for tml's paper, just enough for me to pass then my SU option will be more worthwhile.. increase in consumer's surplus!

Pre exam
Its actually quite easy to strike up conversation with anyone. All you need is to take the first step... or to have something unique with you.
I went back to my seat after buying my lunch at quads only to realise two cleaner aunties were staring at my direction.
Perhaps they were just eyeing on the chicken wing below the table, i thought hoping they dont think it was me who threw the wing.
Then one of them took a few steps forward to scrutinise in my direction...
Not really understanding the situation, i started eating my udon only to hear her exclamation

Oh its biscuit! She exclaimed to her colleague.

It was only then i realised that they were eyeing on my beautiful exam welfare package of delicious julies' peanut butter biscuit, packed nicely in an intricate box.

They were commenting that my biscuit box is very beautiful and wondering where and how much i bought it. With that, i strike up a conversation with the cleaner aunties.

Come of think of it, it has been quite sometime since i strike up a conversation with someone new. Too lazy to do so i think. I can still rmb how fun it was for me upon coming to ntu to have conversations with the canteen's aunties and uncles and hall cleaners. Now my best friends are WADE KREYSZIG, CALLISTER and ABBOT. Let me hold on to my sociable personality until the exam is over ba.

Speaking of which, exam is next week, and we just finish covered out last lecture and tutorial today! imagine that. And i happened to be sitting beside jb during my last lesson for this semester.

Exam is next week, and i have yet to put in everything i got. Polly due to the depressing non examinable modules which guaranteed me 2 Bs already (Lets hope for the best shall we?) and a special non examinable 'test' session next week during out exam week.

Its rather irritating when you have so much unresolve things in your mind. And people like me who thinks too much always spent most of the time thinking.....
That is why i need to express myself to sort out my thoughts
There are so many things I wanted to tell you.

23 days later
Oh! In the mist of thinking about 'I' (refer to post 28 days later), i miss out the stuff that ill be doing with others.

Polly the hypothesis of the research study is right "Participants in different conditions would complete the personal beliefs surveys in importabtly different ways. One of the hypotheese tested was that thinking about family would activate a more interdependent self construal"

During the experiment, i was exposed to the text about food and its nutrition. Hence, when i was given a series of " I am...."for me to continue the sentence. I subconsciously continue the sentence with ideas about myself. Initially after the test it inked me that i didnt think about my family or others when doing the experiment. Well this shows how individualistic i am at times.

I'm glad i return home last night.
Went to mother's room and found her lying on her bed. So I made myself comfortable by lying beside her, before i realised it we had a long chat for around 1.5 hr i think.

It occur to me that it is only when i came to university and when i dont stay at home much. That is why we had so much things to talk about. Don't think we will chat so long if we see each other every single day.

Mother wasn't really happy. Her secondary school friend died a couple of days ago.
The story is something like, it was just 2 years ago when they were having a reunion and were having karoke session. They normally sent sms greetings back and forth during festive session. And you know how aunties are easily amused with this type of gadgets and technology we have, they can spent the entire day sending back and forth cute msg.
It was not too long ago, they stopped sms.
One day, mother called her place.
The receiver picked up the phone and told mother that she was not in, eventhough mother distinctively recognised her voice.

Before she realised it, her friend died of cancer.

Cancer, such a horrible word. To think that this is also the name of a starsign supposingly to be something so beautiful that some are born under. Ironically, I am just so happen to be born under it.

Anyway, mother missed the sea too!
So 23 days later, we will be going off to the sea! And i will bring her ther personally! yes, this is what im going to do. Bring her down kayaking!


--------------------
Yesterday maths test, jb took a glance at my paper, realised that he overlook a part and didnt complete it he took my paper and copied my entire graph! I cant believe that i let him do so....

JB is a copycat!!
JB has been my childhood friend since we were in PY.
And we have been classmates since PY, primary 1 to 4, Secondarty 3,4, university.

All this while since we both share the same surname, i am ALWAYS 1 register number behind him. So if his register number for that year is 37, i will be 38.
As a result, for all our exams and test, we would be sitting beside one another.

Academic results proven that All my papers except chinese were better or similar to his. Has always been so.

Well, this semester he copied during all our test!

Not that its a sin (for us students) doing so, as its a trend nowadays afterall.
Its just that when people copy, what they normally do is
1)to take peek
2) quick glance
3)to whisper to the friend sitting beside.
That is the definition of "Copying during test" isn't it?

How do you classify the action of during test,
1)people discuss every single answer
2) comparing answer from one script with another by placing it side by side on the table
3) bring ur friend's script to ur own table and to rewrite everysingle equation onto urs.
4) Pass ur script to ur friend and tell him to rewrite this paragraph and that.

Shouldnt there be a limit for doing so??
And the worst thing is, he didnt include me in his conversation!!

Guess i am very tradition ba... copy also must use the traditional way.

so far because of this, his maths (for the first time in his life i guess) is 6 marks higher than mine, material is 2 marks higher. Sheesh!! Isnt he disgusting?
We yet to get back the other scripts...

April Fool
2 years ago the divine forces above played a joke on me.
I got to know this person.
One of those little people.
Those little people whom i took little notice of.
I was proud and arrogant after all.

But this little people has a dream and a weak starlight...
Weak it maybe, but there still is.

Within a year, this little people showed me an important lesson about life. A lesson that i at times hope that i never learnt.
And before i knew it, this little people whom i might not take a second look if i meet them on the streets, became my memento mori.

And maybe this will explain the picture on my table.
