Hehe :p Liting very kindly sent us an email to give directions so we could reach her home more easily for our mini gathering and attached this map in her document... Ha ha ha ha ha *grins*

*Numbers Edited for Liting's privacy... Haha ;)

So cute right!!! Hur hur hurr~~~ :p I laughed and laughed at the instance of seeing this map cos i was expecting something from street directory or something... Think Liting should make a Full Singapore Map like that!! *Chuckles*

Ah Heng's Test results

21 October 2008, Tuesday

Was thinking "finally i get a chance to relax" after finishing up 3 out of 4 assignments when...... (Looks at the calendar when at work)
EXAMS IS JUST 2 WEEKS AWAYYYY~~~~~!!!!!! *Panics*
And i've still got another individual assignment on Franchising to finish!!! *Panics again** Help!!

"So what are you doing here when you should be piahing your last assignment now" one might ask. Taking a break la!! Dun be a slavedriver can?!! Hahaa :p

Actually, was going thru my favourited list of websites while taking my break when i discovered this quiz that i got from someone somewhere (forgot who liao... zhaorong issit? hahaa) that i couldn't find time to take last time and forgot about after that. Then from that website i got interested and took a few quizzes instead. Quite interesting wahh~ ;) Here are the results!!

Test 1
Get to know yourself better

Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

I think that's very true... really don't like conflict especially :)
(Turns to friends) Do you agree? Hahaa :p

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Errr... Oei Mister, Hello hello? You got answer the question mehhh~?? I think you read the question wrongly wor. Read again and answer properly la... I'm very curious about this one lei *tsk*

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

Ya ya definitely tat's why some ppl should just shut up and leave it to my own time, opportunity and feelings hehe :) oops no offence

The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

No wonder i always like to li-siao my gal friends (but not in the chi ko pek way)

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

So so so so so true~ Got see my msn nick? Hahaa ;) Have been feeling so happy and satisfied and fulfilled ever since i started taking my degree

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

Ya lo no wonder i signed on. And no wonder i sometimes think of quitting to take my guitar (and maybe other instrument) grades. Feel like teaching music yea~

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

Very scared indeed!! Really ah...... ok lo maybe next year i try...

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

*Nods* Ya lo things that cannot be controlled not scary meh? For example Lehmann brothers kind of things... no? wah kau~
Errr~ Huh? show anger to cover up? *scratch head*, no lei~ if i show anger, it means i'm angry! Not obvious meh?! Hahaa :)

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Ohh ok~ thanks for the enlightenment ^^

小小 updates :)

13/14 Oct 2008, Tuesday

It's 1am++ now. Slept at around 7pm to make up for lost sleep from burning midnight oil last night and woke up at 12 midnight just now. Geez~ am i really alive? Waking up at 12 midnight sounds ghastly. Heng the friendly monkey ghost mmaaahhhh~?
(*echoes* mmahh mahh mah......) Muahaha :p

It's been a long time since i've really had the capacity to sit down to write in a relaxed mood like now. Been busy with assignments and stuff. I know NPS fellas would sit up and complain "what about mahjong, huh!?" on this statement, wei~~~ my last 3 mahjong sessions didn't materialise ok!! All cancelled!!! Leaves scars in my heart (hehe) *sobs*

Now that i've got time to think about it, another event i wouldn't have wanted to miss comes to mind - NPS music camp. Well, not that the current music camp would've really interested me, it's missing out the gathering with my-batch-NPS-fellas that's bugging me. Owww~~~ Can remember all the pre-camp KAP outings we used to have and sneaking out and back in to campus via the back gate and smashing kuang with cake and all... so fun!! *scratches itching heart* Suay lorrr assignment deadlines on 10th Oct and 13th Oct respectively haunting me with near sleepless nights for almost a week within the music camp period. I want to go~~~~!!!!! *whines*
Looking forward to Dec chalet camp!!! Hehe :)

Suddenly i think of my calendar of events and wonder "what's with 25th October!!??" *panics* Everything seems to be crammed into one day. Family day + exam revision with Dr. Spandana + meeting "Home alone committee"... HAHA!! I made that name up... i quite like the term though! ;) I'd like to think we'll have lots of fun mingling around and planning for our event, jiayou people!! :)

Just read the individual part-answers from 2 of my grpmates from my Marketing Mix Management module... Really happy with the answers from them. Unlike Management grp assignment where i literally had to do everything myself (ended up doing considerably chin chai for my standards), this assignment should be quite a piece of cake.

And ahhh~ ya... speaking of the management assignment, I actually dreamt about it in my sleep just now! LOL!! :p Hard to explain my dream but it was kind of like the concepts came to me in flashbacks of bits of memory and hyperlinks to other concepts, then to more concepts in 3D mindmap movie format. If i had 1 or 2 more days for this assignment after this dream i think i'd have done a much better job on it. Haiya maybe i should have prepared the capacity to relax my mind somewhere in between. (thinks of missing music camp and squats in the corner and sianzly draw circles on floor with index finger) *back* Well, i guess that's an indication of that i've learned well from this assignment anyway~!! ;)

Suddenly hear this nice and classic song while half watching tv. Very nice and i absolutely love the lyrics! Somemore the duo singing this song started in sentimental mode then turns to rock version in between... super nice!!


我的未来不是梦 - 张雨生

你是不是像我 在太阳下低头
流着汗水默默辛苦的工作
你是不是像我就算受了冷漠
也不放弃自己想要的生活

你是不是像我整天忙着追求
追求一种意想不到的温柔
你是不是像我曾经茫然失措
一次一次徘徊在十字街头

因为我 不在乎
别人怎么说
我从来没有忘记我
对自己的承诺 对爱的执着~

我知道我的未来不是梦
我认真的过每一分钟
我的未来不是梦我的心跟着希望在动
跟着希望在动

Very true hor the lyrics? Exactly my way of thinking! But mine's in a happy and positive way not so tortured as the original lyrics sounds, haha~ :)

Ok must end here liao!! I'm supposed to be doing my Marketing Mix Management assignment now (now = from 1hr ago) *chuckles* Somehow couldn't resist dropping by everyone's blog to tag, then became tempted to write in my own one, hehe!! :p
Ok bye bye liao!! ^^

Assignments part II

11 Oct 2008, Saturday

It really helps that i'm not aiming to get v high marks anymore. Why?

Reason number 1: After managing to cheong out the assignment on Recall During Learning by burning midnight oil on thursday night (after drinks somemore), yours monkeyly sensed a stroke coming along (twitching face for one whole week and counting + tense muscles on neck and head) and decided to take time out for good whole periods of rest.

Reason number 2: We're just 1 and 1/2 days away from another group assignment deadline and i haven't received any respectable answers from my groupmates yet - that's not to blame them though~ The reason why this is occurring stems from my incompetency to chase them for answers throughout the weeks we've had to do it + my lack of discipline in churning out the full answers for my parts (tat's y no face chase for ans la!! Hehe!! :p). Where's all the discipline and enthusiasm i've had in term 1!!!??? ahhhhhhhh~~~~~

Reason number 3: I'm enjoying reading through my notes without any fear of not doing well for this assignment - so i just have to add in my points where i deem fit and restructure the answers for logical flow. It makes everything so much simpler!!

Reason number 4: I get to watch tv and all the things i enjoy doing without having to feel guilty or gan jiong for the work that are left to be done~ Wahahaa~~~ :p

P.S. All the xiao peng you out there... don't xue gor gor huh!!! Must study hard!! *chuckles*

Must be a more disciplined, assertive and competent leader next sem!! :)

Assignments!!

10 Oct 2008, Friday

For those wondering what i've been up to during the past week, here's a glimpse of what i've been writing for one of my UNICORE module assignments... For those who studied in Ngee Ann Poly, UNICORE modules are kind of like our IS modules, haha!!

Recall During Learning

Introduction
The ability to recall previously learned knowledge facilitates better learning and easier understanding of new subjects. Recalling is therefore crucial to learning. By understanding how the brain recalls during and after learning, effective habits can be shaped and developed to enhance an individual’s information recall ability.

Factors resulting in high recall of information
At the end of a learning period, certain parts of knowledge are more effectively recalled while the rest are considerably forgotten. It is also interesting to note that recall of information gained at the beginning of a learning period is high but can get progressively worse as time goes on. This causes 2 effects to occur in a learning process known as the primacy and......

.

.

Quite interesting stuff actually, but it's making my head burst cos i've probably developed too high expectations of myself recently. For one whole bledy week, I keep writing, rereading, shaking my head and deleting what i've written for my assignment because they don't seem to be good enough. Previously, doing well was good enough for me, but suddenly after a bout of good results everyone expects me to get above 80marks for everything, myself included. Gotta change this mindset to make myself enjoy learning again!! :p

.

The irony of this whole thing is the name of this module........... Learning to learn!! Haha!! ^^

Mini Updates

05 Oct 2008, Sunday

I've been horribly lazy for the past week!! Urghhh~~~~~ According to my own schedule (in my brain, hehee), was supposed to have completed 2 out of 4 assignments by today (due 10 oct, 13th oct, 20th oct and 07 nov respectively), but as of now, yours monkeyly hasn't even started on any of them yet! Lots of midnight oils this week, i guess... *sigh* i hope i manage to gather enough resolve to work on them though.

This week after work,
Monday - mahjong with Ed, Jol, Kuang and Hongzhi. Was expecting Liting and Zhaorong to come too but they didn't so it was slightly less re nao than i initially expected... Quite fun la!!

Tuesday - Lessons and nothing else

Wednesday holiday - went to Xiaohei Jacelyn's home to do our online quiz, then met Jason (colleague friend) to pass him the photos for our HK trip and finally ended the day at (colleague friend)Alvin's home for mahjong. *Sigh* Originally planned to reach Xiaohei's home at about 12+, meet Jason at 3.15 and Alvin at 4 but i overslept and spent about an hour trying to burn the photos to dvd *noob* so in the end reached Xiaohei's home at about 2+ and told the rest i'd delay our things by about half an hour (decided not to do my quiz yet). When we'd finished with Xiaohei's quiz, i rushed off to meet jason at about 4pm. Very late liao so had to cab to Alvin's home in the end... Very ex!! And i suffered my first major loss in mths, lost $25! + $19 cab fee (rub salt) *ouch*. Aiya , but we played at a higher rate than usual though so actually quite ok hahaa :p i had fun nevertheless!! :)

Thursday - frantically reading through my notes trying to catch up on everything

Friday - Lessons and (finally) did my Online Quiz.... Did well!! ;)

Saturday - Work and mini gathering at Qimei's home... Originally wanted to jio zhaorong jiaying esther etc they all go too but wasn't sure i could go till the day itself so in the end didn't ask. At the end of the day we were talking about many of the fun things we did and went through last time... So funny!!!! ^^

Sunday - Looks at myself and my accomplishments this week - what the hell!! Only read 3 chapters (out of 12 originally planned) and haven't even started on my assgmts... Time to discipline myself!!! *Cane* *Cane* Today must work hard!!!

Mahjong session starts 7pm tmr my friends =_=''' (Wahahaa :p)
Shall write about other things rather than myself when i have more time!!! ;)
