Firstly, this is my 150th post and probably the last one on cheekyboi86.blogspot.com.
Watched The Hangover at the theatre in Vivo in yesterday afternoon. Initially, I didnt even noe wad the story was abt, but it was so freaking funny. The story is about some bachelor's party before Doug's wedding day and stuff, as well as the crazy things they do. According to Max, I was like the dentist while Josh was like Phil, when both of them just keeps argueing. Haha. Saw some secondary school kids like below 16, which was kinda wierd cuz it was NC16 show and there were nudity scenes involved. The whole movie was filled with coarse F**K word and it was kinda like a sex comedy with a great ending. A movie definitely not to be missed!
After tt dinner at Swensens followed by Ice-cream at Ben & Jerry's till around 11. Late night gathering with the easties till around 4am at Mac and as usual, theres just so many things to talk about. Slept at 5am and woke up around 9 before going to the temple to pray with mum.
Happy National Day 2009! Was watching the live telecast at home just now. The touchy part for me was still the parade and marching contingent. Ever since a cadet, till doing NDP in NS, the hardwork and effort by every single one is the most memorable one. Well, I guess thats a good way to end of this blog too!
For a fresh new semester and new work year ahead! Goodbye Mr. Cheekyboi!!! Till then...
HUAT AR!!!

This is getting bad. I think I am really sick. Been coughing kinda badly and refusing to see a doctor. Well, the typical stubborn me. It doesnt help in your thinking and actions especially when you are sick. I am losing it. I can feel it. I will need to go into self isolation once again.
I hate this feeling. Suddenly, nothing is in the correct position. Any advice???

Humans are complicated. We always want things our way. And if we dun, some will just admit to fate, while some will just use whatever it takes to get what they want. Some may argue that the process is important, whilst some may argue that the end point is always the most important factor. I used to believe doing things in the most proper or orthodox manner would get you to learn something and reach the destination. However, this is so wrong a concept. In some point of time, humans just err, and hurt other people in the process. The point is that, is the hurt done intentionally or unintentionally. If it was done unintentionally, did someone stood out to say a simple face to face sorry, or just blatant ignorance or just an email or msn and carry on with life?
Friendships are made and broken. In time to come, most people will realised that more friendships are broken than destroyed. This is where humans get lonely as they aged and lose more friends. Well, some may argue that at funerals, you will get to see your popularity based on your number of friends who turned up. Well, how would you know when you are already dead.
We only have a pair of hands. We try to reach out to grab as many friends that we can. However, there is only a limited number we can catch and hold on to. The point being, if one tries, are you taking the person for granted? Finally, once you are tired and you are aware that you are being treated like an extra, do you continue to try, or just stop?
I guess I am really tired and trying too hard to be a nice person. Thanks for those who has been there for me, through my most difficult times. You should know who you are. Maybe I should really be a jerk.
Well, CK is really getting very philophosical yet again, which is bad. But when CK emos, he will get up real fast. Meanwhile, hope whoever reads this post or blog cherish your friends and family and loved ones.

What a day yet again! I am definitely getting outbidded for at least 1 module this semester. Well, kinda expected for this to happen anyway. I came to realise that I tink I have a problem with Chem Majors, cuz i haf no good impression of them. Firstly, spoil market in CORS most of the time, secondly, very extremely KIASU in terms of balloting for labs and tutorials and crashing IVLE. Thirdly, so many ppl are already so smart (ie 2nd Upper and above) and still looking for easy modules to do.
Well I guess thats life. I hate Chem Majors and I happen to be one of them. So lucky that most of my close frens are not from the cohort. Meanwhile, just hope for the best for my modules.
Before it gets worst, will probably be removing this blog link or change blog add soon. Tired of watching my words in blogs. If you happen to read my blog, and you wan to continue reading about gossips or my life, tag on my tagboard or msn me.

Diamond is an allotrope of carbon. As a chemist, of course i dun fancy diamonds, even if its of any weight or carats. However, any typical woman would probably be so excited to see the carbon (under extremely high pressure and temperature) on their fingers. Mummy is one of them. Gotten her a small diamond ring after seeing the glow in her eyes. She deserves it, more than anyone else. Though it wasnt some big diamond or something, but it makes me happy to see her happy =)
Well, in life, how many chances do you get to see ppl happy and its because you did something to make it happen?
You may not need to do something big or extraordinary, because when ppl is touched, they see things thru' their heart. This is something not superficial =)

3 weeks past real fast. As usual, starting to suffer from withdrawal symptoms from teaching. A short recap of the past 3 weeks. Set A Maths common test on Integration, and was quite happy that all passed my paper! Marked a pile of chem holiday assignments, and got horrified when they used 'transparent' loosely over 'colourless'. Went thru their errors in a sarcastic manner in class while revising atomic structure and bonding with them. I have a conclusion: KIDS LIKE SARCASM!!!
Being the realistic me, shared some tips in scoring for exams to the graduating classes during remedial classes and telling them the detrimental effects of getting a B3 if they wan to go JC. It was nice that the teachers did not condemn me in terms of teaching and praised me for the efforts in coming up with the notes for A Maths n Chem. Felt happy in that sense.
In a way, really felt stretched throughout the 3 weeks, doing the marketing project, going as relief teacher as well as the mentioned above. It really gives me an idea what i'll be doing in years to come. Although CK often bitches about how he is being exploited as a free labour, i do enjoy the passion in a way =).
The most shocking thing was the fact that i stopped a fight in a normal technical class by pulling out one person. Was really stunned when one kid just started grabbing a chair, and abt to throw to another kid. I guess one major problem for me will be maintaining discipline in upper sec. For lower sec, by using my loud voice and yelling, it manages to keep them quiet, and it was a funny thing. This reminded me of how i scold my cadets back in TK. Its been a while since i raised my voice. Also witnessed my mentor teared when handling a really problematic upper sec class. I do feel the pain for her when i saw the kids not having interest in learning and disrupting the class by walking around, throwing papers and scolding vulgarities in every sentence. They just DUN CARE.
I guess i shall not bore ppl with my worklife. Its just another learning experience for me. =). Lastly, if you want to be my friend, you must first be able to stand words of abuse and sarcasm from me. And CK realised, not many ppl can do it. Dun force yourself if you cant stand me! Cuz u dun need too many frens in your life! And if you really managed to get CK as a fren, you know hes willing to do alot of things for you.
Dun you agree frens?

Day 2 was kinda super slack for me, with only 4 periods of observation of lower sec Maths and Sec 5 E Maths. The teacher pulled a stunt on me by asking me to solve a prelim paper question on series and sequences as she is not very good at number patterns. Caught by surprised and managed to come out with the nth term and explained to the class. Phew.....
Went to watch Ice Age 3 with the NUS guys and the show was kinda ok i felt, with some hilarious scenes. Was super tired upon work that i was almost late for the movie due to instant napping upon reaching home.
Day 3 is more horrible. Having already a super packed timetable till 330pm, i was given 1 relief stand in duty for a class, which i was only left with 1 free period for lunch! Basically was in class all day long. Worst thing was the fact that we had to attend the staff contact meeting which was a cosy talk on perceptions by external vendors. The whole thing ended at 6pm. Besides that, most of the classes i went to were very rowdy. The teachers had to repeat about 3-4 times before students could get the concept into their heads. The technical classes wasnt as bad as i thought it would be cuz although they just left the classroom without teachers' approval, with some crappy reasons like helping the cat, but they came back after a short while.
Mr. Yeo is officially suffering from the old man syndrome, whereby i m starting to sleep before midnight and waking up at 6am. This is a tragic....

Day 1 at School Attachment. Firstly, my school has a punch card system!!! Makes me really feel like a part-time worker. Induction talks and briefings were usually dry as expected. My 2 mentors for Chem is like HOD of Science and for Maths is like HOD of Maths. This is so scary. 2 different departments of HODs. Need to split myself soon. Got myself a pile of Chem Papers to mark from first day. Sounds interesting and i am actually quite excited to go into teaching and stuff. Timetable for me is mainly observing graduating classes and upper sec.
Kinda felt lost as we dun really have someone we can stick to. Its like they give us the timetable and we will have to appear in classes. The feeling is kinda wierd being 1st DAY! As such, all of us self declared knock off and we punched out at 3pm. Lol.
Tentatively teaching Atomic Structure Bonding, Preparation of Salts for Chem and Logarithmns and ln for A Maths. Chem looks pretty fine, but super worried abt Logs and Exponential cuz i sucked at it. Will see how it goes.
Feels kinda bad for Song Wee as he saw the HOD giving me a pile of papers to mark, so i guessed he became paiseh and Chem being his CS2, he also took a pile of papers to mark. Sorry if I had Sabo-ed you indirectly.
The most hated thing is probably doing my project. I really am a Marketing/Branding idiot. I dun do business and this is really gonna be a hard time i guess.

Its end of another chapter of part-time work life! Expected myself to be at VIP terminal today, but was placed at T2 South at the very last day. Was glad to have known some nice frens at the airport like Bi Hui, Hui Hui, Dickson, Jeffrey, Xian Kang, Ya Jun, etc etc. The theory of TOK COCK rules!!!
Abit kinda sad as this is the shortest part-time job for 12 days. One good thing about me is probably the fact i can strike a conversation with ppl easily. Through a normal and simple conversation with someone can actually allow me to have an idea of what your character is like. Sometimes this may be right, sometimes this may be wrong. But in any case, lately there seemed to be a trend of attracting UNWANTED FLIES!!! Zzzzzz
Stop talking and rattling non-stop when u can see that i m uninterested!!! I may have a good listening ear, but please control!!! This is a very major problem in humans when you do not know when to stop. No doubt I m like this sometimes, but i will still keep my radar open and observe.
Well, probably due to insufficient sleep lately, i get more bitchy and more hot-tempered. Well, not to worry as i cool down pretty easily. When one ends, the other chapter starts. Starting school attachment in 2 days time. Lets see, majority predicts CK gets bullied by students, What Say You???
