Updates!! Sep 2008!! :)

28 Sep 2008, Sunday

WOWWW, i only remembered i had a blog today, since the last time i'd blogged, cos i saw zhaorong's new blog! Then see fishy's complaint, feel so paisay!! cos i'm 3 weeks late to respond!!! :p

End August - can only remember the disappointment with virtuoso concert from NPS. Poor flow of events, playing time almost equivalent set-up time, emcees who are blur like sotong and don't even know which songs are which and didn't even bother to know how to pronounce Mr. Alex's full name before the concert, which suggests they'd done none rehearsals together. I think they should go back to LT26 for their performances la...... This is the first time we've had performer's friends shouting "encore!!" and alumnis echoing "don't want la!". Can imagine how bad the performance was? Hahaa :p Feel so sorry for Xiang Xiang who's improved TREMENDOUSLY!! We were super impressed with her lo... She's exuding such class in her own cello playing and yet the rest of everything was so disappointing.

Very very eventful September 2008 for me!! It started with my Hong Kong trip from 3rd to 7th Sep... Quite a number of complaints about the trip at first but thinking back, was actually quite enjoyable la!! Hong Kong is a nice place to shop and shop...!! ;) Too bad my colleague friends whom i went for the trip with aren't those who really like to take candid photos lo, so my photos are basically alot of self-taken ones. Only ONE group photo amongst my photos... can u imagine that!!?? Hahaa :p Then there were two irritating incidents - one with a rude tourist trying to cut queue and another rude waiter who really sparked an unnamed fury in us. But oh well, Particularly enjoyed my time there doing shopping, playing in macau (the casinos are huge and grand and beautiful!!) and the ocean park.

Hmmm one small follow up from my last blog, was absolutely right about my 2nd batch grpmates! Nice ppl to work with and we're absolutely comfortable working with each other. One of them we outcasted, cos he literally didn't attempt to put in any effort into our work and It's funny, cos xiaohei jacelyn feels more like our 4th grpmate. The other 2 girls Joey and Janet i really *applaud* *applaud* *applaud* them cos they've family and kids to handle, on top of all the work and assignments that we have! ;) Our rapport is such that we all still meet up to do our quiz and assignments together even though we are no longer in any same classes.

After Hong Kong it's assignments assignments assignments all the way and i have come to the end of my first term!! 13th Sep weekend was spent with Saturday on duty from 5.30am till 7pm and Sunday KTV with Joey Janet and Xiaohei + dinner and bowling with Esther Dejun Weiling and Licong. Last week 21st Sep weekend was super tiring with very little sleep for me cos had events plus term 1 assignments due. 21st Sep Saturday, i met up with Joey Janet and Xiaohei to have our video recording done. Originally expected us to finish within 2 hrs but turns out we ALL needed to continue working on our powerpoints and speeches so from 2pm dragged all the way till midnight and then i cheonged home to watch Arsenal match without doing my video recording. It was fun disturbing them during the recording process though!! Hehee :p Slept at close to 4am and woke up about 7am+ on the morning of 22nd Sep sunday to go east coast park for my flight's keep fit morning exercise event. Rollerblade till 11am+, then went Alvin's home for mahjong till 9pm+ then cheong home with Kuang to do my video recording due next day. Haha!! :p Hahahaa damn funny lo the recording process!!!

First we moved one of my tables from my bro's rm to my rm. then we positioned it ON my bed (cos i needed the background). Next, we shifted a shelf or whatever u call it plus a cd rack on top of it for positioning the camera, and stacked chairs and tables to position the laptop right below the camera so i could read my prepared but un-memorised speech. And then i was wearing a shirt on top and looking all formal in the camera but wearing only shorts underneath... Hahaa!!! :p

Then there were all the NGs we had... One of which i will never ever forget because out of the 19 slides of speech i had prepared, i was already going into number 16th when... *water flushing sound from toilet* ... (Heng continues to speak for 3 - 4 seconds then... Bursts out laughing!!!) JI DAN!!! NG for nothing!!!!!!!! Imagine the lecturer looking and listening to the video and hearing the flushing sound!! Luckily no such things in my final recording lo!!!

Ended the recording and my day at about 3am+ feeling super tired and i had wake up at 5+ to go to work cos i'd specially asked my colleague to let me do his duty for monday so i could go for and leave work early to go submit my assignment in hard copy cd. Less than 3hrs sleep/night for consecutive 2 days!!! And of course also little sleep on the days before that though not as cham... Abit huo gai la cos i slotted in all the play and socialising despite the amount of work left to be done, Hahaa :p Have to la!!!!! Like i say, family and friends vs learning vs work, family and friends comes first!! ;)

26th Sep 2008, Friday
A typical normal day with lessons at the end of the day. Still, joined Alvin (Airforce colleague friend) and his friends Yingjie, Shan, Jolene & Leonard for KTV... and one of them is super cute!! Would describe her as someone who's got needles in her backside cos she never manages to keep still. One moment she's chitchatting here, the other she's hopped across the room to play and enthusiastically take photos (busily changing poses) with her jiemeis and the next she's gone to the toilet and comes back in with a pose. Hahaa!!!! cute and bubbly lo :p And she is a powerful drinker. And she plays mahjong...!! Perfect!! That's the kind of girl i think guys should go for~!!! Think she would suit Alvin just fine hahaa ;) If i remember correctly i mentioned something about the female version of me in one of my earlier blogs... Here got one la!!! Wahahaa!!! Very nice to know there's still girls like this around!! :)

Now going into the 4th/3rd week of the 2nd term and i am busy like hell with the assignments. Only just managed to finish 2 assignments last Sunday and thursday respectively, and there's another 4 more (2 grp and 2 individual) to finish along the way + exams on the 1st 2 weeks of Nov. Just did another quiz yesterday (27th Sep saturday) with Joey Janet and Xiaohei at Janet's home. So far getting 80s and 90s for my assignments and quizzes so can consider doing quite well bah!! :) Feeling really satisfied with the learning curve and happy with myself so far!!
