read the last paragraph for the main entry in this blog... the rest are starters... :)
Earlier today, I woke up from my comfy bed to be in time for the apptment with Tim. It's not actually early though: we agreed to meet at 12. (Don't be mistaken! I'm not late!)
Heh! Had a wonderful swim at Changi Beach Club if not for the cold and windy weather, the stormy dark clouds, the cold water, etc. But argh well... it was my very first swim after I started studying in NUS. Yeah... long time since I swam... sheesh... Ha! Anyway, it was a real quiet place! It wasn't as populated as the pools or the shopping malls, but it was more of a rustic charming thing which made me reminise(however u spell that) of the past. Yes. It was a lil' short step to the past. =)
The Daytona was great too, but I managed to beat Tim though he had his driver's license.:) Maybe he won because he drove slowly... (jk!) Took a bus back to Tampines for lunch and to shop for Tim's presents for his students. It was nice though... to be able to chat and catch up with frens and lost time... :)
Well... this entire entry in the blog was mainly meant for the fact that I was not very happy with my results... THere is 1 module that made me drastically disappointed. In fact, I was thinking of reviewing the paper.... But again... I can only blame myself for not taking the appropriate action of S/Uing it... but heck... I gotta check for the repair work damage control whcih i can take for the next sem, espeically when there is a module which is worth 5 MC!!! I will die i tell u!

3 puck play in air hockey
It's been a long time since I had such a great laugh with my friends. And it happened again last night. This time, it's different. The gag was on Jere and a lil' on me due to the slip of my tongue. (I shall not divulge the joke though ;))
King Kong lasted 3 hrs!!! Woah! So long! I could only remember that the last movie I watched which lasted equally as long was Lord of the Rings part 3 (forgot the title though), which I barely understood the whole thing and I held my bladder for so long thinking that it would end soon. Unfortunately, I was so wrong and I ran to the washroom cringing and apologising as I dashed through the mob in front of the ticket office as I ran out of the cinema. :(
Anyway, I am adding yesterday's outing into the blog today cos.... I played Air Hockey (after donkey years) and WON!!!!! Wait... It wasn't solely my effort but it was more of CW's effort in getting the puck into the opponent's goal :). But hey! I tried my best too! It was quite a close game when we managed to catch up mid-time in the 3-puck play where the board would appear messy with 3 pucks moving back and fourth colliding with each other. Honestly, I suspect that the board is somewhat biased cos' I, like CW, also didn't feel that we have won that many games! But never mind la... the 4 of us (mitch, jere, CW and me) had our fair share of fun and laughter for the night! Heh! Okay, I admit this game appeared 'kiddy' but heck! It's not as though I'm darn old. In the final game, the team that came in second would buy the winning team a drink. (note: I'm using the term 'second team' in a game where there are only 2 teams) HA!
CW and I won ourselves a drink! Yay!It's not the drink that motivated us to win, but as pro players it was a sure-win thing! <=== (ZG u better not be so bhb..)
*grinz*
So c'mon! Who wants to challenge in Air Hockey? *grinz*

this place is discovered! and thanx to a link... to here... :(
I just realised this blog is linked (which was not what I wanted). Fortunately, Dom told me abt this. But I think it shldn't be too many pple reading this blog. Reasons being:
1. THis blog is kinda boring with ranting and all and nothing else.
2. The link to this place is almost kinda hard to find. (It took me few hrs to find which blog was linking it here)
BUt heck. people can still read on my complaints and such. how wonderful.
On a lighter note, it is wonderful to know that I'm meeting my my commrades (or however u spell that) soon aftering being scattered all over the place. Good time to exchange IPPT tips with them and who knows? they might even offer a quick solution... (think hard and u know what is the "quick solution", else I'm so dead... ...) sadly not many of us were able to locate QR after he left for US. Such a nincompoop. No contact number or equivalent left behind.
Definitely deserves to be shot. What kinda shot? (we all know don't we?)

December is here and the results of my exams are released just so "timely"
December again!Christmas is here! WOO HOO! and yesh!! it's time for me to get those presents again for Christmas! Even 3 2 weeks before the actual festive season, I'm beginning to feel the Christmas Spirit!
Sadly though, it would be dampened just 2 days before that thanx to the release of exam results. How wonderful... such a strategic time to release them... heh... Well in conclusion for this semester, I guessed I didnt put in as much effort as I could... too many distractions and too lil' disicpline... such luck... but again... "It's a tubular world afterall!"
It's been great knowing new people in sch. Wait. They are not just any other people, but people with high intellect. It's kinda like my pleasure to know them, including CW, Jere, BK, etc. DUring the exam period. Boy, u can see how jia lat i was feeling... EVERYONE EVERYWHERE IN NUS IS BURYING THEIR HEADS IN BOOKS!!! inevitably, i caught the high stress but managed to counter it by MNO's (again) stress management topic. Even the maths paper which I took was not much easier. :( in fact, i thought i was in some olympiad or something only to be brought back to reality when i came across certain peasy easy question. ( note that the word "question" is without the "s")
Till then, I guess my hard life wld nv end. But again, what is hard life? Hard life strengthens the soul? So far, 2 of my frens have agreed on this. I guess it's time to relook at the definition of hard life.
