Great Festive Season!

Hope everyone had a blessed and fun Christmas! I had an enjoyable weekend/X'mas with friends. I mean, what's Christmas without the ones that matter in your life?

23rd - KR Alumni Day. Played soccer, bball, netball and some sports at NUS High School. Was fun seeing the 'legends' back in action. Hon n JM scorched the Bball team while Zidane aka keith n short chee hong (charlie) got humbled 6-2 in the soccer field by the current IHG soccer team. It was a successful event overall and the attendance was great. Kudos to Alvin, Wilson, Amanda and Qingyou (only e blkers, the rest i dunno who they are) for making the event a success! Muacks!

24th - Xmas party at Huan's. Same old faces went, spent most of the night playing W11 though. Should have played more team games or just chat, that would have been more meaningful. Had a mini gift exchange and I got a really lame book from Nick da BOTAK - The Va Dinci Cod. When I'm done analyzing the fish (cod), I'll let you know what's the story about.

25th - Christmas! Suddenly felt like spending money so went IMM to shop for clothes and watched "The Night at the Museum". Funny show and light-hearted. Great!

26th - Exam Results are out! Contented with them and happy so long as I maintain my 2nd upper. Congrats to those who did well (mg dean's list again??)

Design 1 - B+
Making Sense of Society - B+
Downstream Processes - B+
Petrol Refining - A-

Sem Cap: 4.11 (boo dropped!)

Still in the festive mood, but must get back to my FYP b4 I die a horrible death.

Movie nightout!

Just watched Curse of the Golden Flower with Darren, qy and Joel. Chow Yun Fatt got the 'say', Gong Li got the Boobs and Jay Chow just can't act for nuts. The story revolves around the nature (good or evil) of man and the ending is really so crappy. Thought some of these pictures were really good. Enjoy.

I think she's pretty. Good complexion and superb cleavage. Qy was drooling throughout the show. Incredible, good casting. HAHA..

I personally like this one! Damn 'say' la.

miss my neighbours

It has been raining non-stop for the past 3.5 days, I seriously wonder where do all the water come from. Perhaps the Geog students (melf or yanjie) can enlighten me. haha..

In such cold weather, nothing beats cuddling up in bed with your loved one (not doing naughty things...) or drinking a cup of hot coffee with a friend. But too bad, 6th floor seems to be a ghost town most of the time! QY is resting at home (poor neighbour injured his knee again..), Ben is always out with his girl and YQ is sneaky (still??!!). My new 'best' friend is prob Yang Jiada already - he treats me to his self-brewed Starbucks coffee and we often have good W11 games. Ha..

I only do 2 main things this holidays - handball and FYP. Situation in handball is quite jialat esp with injuries hitting our key players and ruling them out of IHG. Girls team is still very amateur and needs plenty of work. Hopefully I'm a value-add to the teams and able to lead them to achieve their goals. FYP is bad too, my prof MIA and I'm not receiving guidance to progress. I actually feel neglected. Sigh.

Christmas is coming! It's a season of giving and telling your loved ones how much you love them. Remember: love actually is all around.

POOI!

Terrible football weekend:

1. Chelsea TYCOly beat Everton 3-2 in the last 10min
2. Barcelona lost the World Club Championship
3. Man U lost to West Ham 1-0. Their worst ever performance this season. tsk

One more week to Christmas! But too bad there won't be any Xmas gathering due to clash of dates. Haiz.. Hopefully there can be a mini-one?

Where's everyone? The hall is truly a ghost-town (Dinah, Dec06).

Eguana Gathering

Kudos to the block comm who organized a great BBQ gathering for the block and the alumni. The food was not bad and the company was superb. There were at least 6 generations of eguanas represented last night.

In ascending order in terms of the graduation year:

• 2005: Huan, Vimal, Chin, Vincent Gan (the REAL chee hong) and the Golden Girls (Hong Zheng, Mavis, Wanlyn, Ruiyi)

• 2006: Charlie aka short chee hong

• 2007: QY, ben, yq, yannick, darren n myself (no girls.......)

• 2008: Ron, Janice, Robin, Linus, Steph, Alvin and Aiping

• 2009: Dinah, Albert, J-lo, Sunny, Christina, Hong Ye, Changjie, Val, Miao Hui (declared her love for Nigers), Jiemin, Baolai and the current Yr two

• 2010: Rachel, Yanni, Yanjie, Esther, Zhenyi, Cheng Kang, Kaiyi and the current Yr ones

The feeling was great. But probably cos I knew everyone there. I'm sure the lao-langs found it awkward to talk to the Year ones (Huan is 6yrs older than them!!). I hope to come back for more of such events, better still Hall-wide gatherings. Brings back the good and worthwhile memories of my 4yrs in KR.

Boring December

Argh I'm starting to find December very boring. Can't stand doing FYP everyday! Probably cos I'm lost and not sure how to move on. My prof better start helping me!

How I wish I could go overseas for holidays now. BOO...

But one thing to be thankful for: I'm still in selection process in ExxonMobil. I've got a Chem Engine friend -> 1st Class Honours since Sem 1, on scholarship, 3 sems of Dean's List, a relatively decent CCA record (mine is better of course :p) and did his IA in ExxonMobil, but he was just rejected.

I'm shocked and confused on what exactly does the company look for. Whatever it is, I'm thankful that I still make the cut. Scary eh.

12 days to Christmas! yeah..

Meaningful quote

Life only demands from you the strength that you possess. Only one feat is possible; not to run away.
- Dag Hammarskjold -

Cherish your friends, whatever strengths or weaknesses they may have. Thrash out the problems and move on, running away from the solution makes you nothing but a coward.


Vader: gd luck for Gourami!
Horny yow: welcome back to Spore!
Dinah: rest well ya! don't get burnt out from all the non-stop trainings.

FYP!

An eventful weekend!

8 Dec - went JB to cut & highlight hair
9 Dec - dinner with chem engine class & watched Manchester Derby
10 Dec - Steph's 21st Bday at Pan Pacific Hotel.

Today's the first time I'm touching my FYP stuff and I'm seriously lost. Need time and effort to work on it again. Argh.

Temperature & RH profile of E610

As part of qy's research on E blk room profiles, here are mine.

Ha that 55degC is CRAZY! I left it outside my room (on the metal part of the railing) that's why it's so hot. The sun was smack on it, plus the extra heat on the metal.


56% seems to be an understatement. I'm always feeling warm!


I bought a black jacket yesterday from the Esprit warehouse at IMM (newly opened). Ain't that cheap ($59.90) but just felt like getting sth new. haha EVIL! qy's leaving for Phuket today so hope he have a great time there. To the rest who have ended their exams, enjoy urself and may all have a great Christmas holidays!

When I thought that yq was sneaky, there's an even sneakier one out there. tsk tsk..

Feel so slack!

One week break in between papers is not the bomb! I'm taking things so lightly and playing most of the time! I watched 6hrs of soccer on Saturday night! 3 days to complete a bloody helpsheet. haha..

Mg that cock called me on sun and kept complaining he's traumatized. He did one question wrongly and as if that's the end of the world. tsk tsk.. You must always remember u're the lecturer's PET! ha go JB and forget abt the exams la.

I don't know whether to be excited that exams are ending. I just realized I have alot more work to do for my FYP. I have yet to generate results and write the report! This December will pass very quickly. There are only 3 weeks! IHG trainings, Christmas parties, tuitions, holidays and FYP. Ha..

Think my graphic card is dying on me. Just now half my LCD screen went black. Luckily it is ok now. Crossing my fingers now.

Detour

The wrong turn along AYE proved to be horrendous and created so much problems. The destination was Maxwell Rd and the plan was to go up CTE(AMK) flyover n go through the tunnel to Merchant Court. But instead, ended up in ECP and were forced to make a detour from Suntec. Haha.. Terrible day. Terrible for the miscom, wrong instructions and other small things.

Feels wrong. Feels bad. Feels just terrible.

Toys 'r' us!

I want those LCD tvs in my house in future! They're so cool!

Do I look like a sk8er boi?

Sheena playing with the monkeys!
Wonder if these were QY's toys when he was young...


(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)(.)
It feels like exams are over! Oh well, one more to go next Thursday. Qy is free already! He better be our dabao IC b4 he flies off to Phuket man. Tsk Tsk..
