My official/formal day of school. cos its when lessons actually start.

I went out of my house at 10.00am hoping to catch the 10.05am bus.. haha when i got out of my home, the bus zooomed past. Why? cos i read the bus time-table wrongly.. it was suppose to reach the octagon at 10.05am instead.. how silly, so i had to brave the strong wind and walk down to uni. Krap... to make things worse, the wind today was really strong and it was freezing in the morning. so ya i just had to walk down.

It was okay lar, nothing much too. Hmm, everyone of us (meaning the rest of the people i'm familiar with) are having lecture at different timing, so its hard to meet up and stuff like that. Somehow when i look at other people's time-table, it aint as packed as mine. My time-table is so unbalanced. Yup, theirs seem as though they have like lesser subjects and they finish so much earlier. Take for example, some of my friends have like only two lectures today. One in the morning and one in the afternoon/evening. That is so much better, i seriously wouldnt mind that.

Guess what? haha nadia is in the same epidemiology lecture as me on mondays. So this means that i will get to see her more than one day a week. that is the monday epidemiology lecture and the friday 8am biology lecture. Cool..

well, now i'm waiting for bio lect to start and then after bio lect have to wait another two hrs for eng lect to start. Krap! tired tired tired. i finish school at 8pm today! bleah.. Yeah, and i have to get my eng course reader and some ring files soon.. my notes are all loose papers, they didnt even bother to staple them.

have to get things sorted out. in terms of everything larz.. cos..
if u fail to plan, u plan to fail!
this simple statement speaks a lot indeed..

in a totally unrelated incident, i suddenly realise that today is the release of O's. two years ago, i was one of the little anxious kids waiting for my results. haha not exactly anxious, i dont even think i was nervous.. i just took it like any other ordinary exam. oh well, anyway yar.. two years later, on this very day, i'm sitting in front of the computer at the science lib typing this. time flies, two years have gone past very quickly eh!

Went to school today for preliminary lectures. I must say that the people there are pretty kiasu. After sending my brother to sch, i got there like about 15mins before hand, and already the lecture theatre which has a capacity of 550 was three quater fulled. Hahas, good thing i didnt arrive late or i would be sitting on the floor. U can tell that there are more people than seats lar. Anyways, it was two hours of listening to our course overview. BORING.. after that, went around with nadia scoutting for our time-tables, when it actually could be viewed from the sch's intranet. She actually came to school early to have lunch with me.. so nice.. But it was alright, since we were waiting for keiko to finish her lecture at 12.30pm. (i had mine from 9am-11am)Yups, this year i would only be in the same lecture as nadia once a week, that is the friday 8am BIOL111 lecture. And in the same lecture as Keiko on monday, tuesday and thursday. for the BIOL111 lecture at 4pm. Please note that my timetable for this yr really sucks. Its like so badly planned, why cant i have better lecture time-slots. Others have theirs like at 11am or in the morn.. Mine is mostly in the afternoon to around evening time and i have like labs in the morn on tues and eng tut on wed's morning.

In short, my timetable goes something like that:
Mon Phys 12pm-1pm, Epidemiology 2pm-3pm, Bio 4pm-5pm, Chem 5pm-6pm, Eng 7pm-8pm
Tue Bio prac 8am-11am, Eng tut 12pm-1pm, Bio 4pm-5pm
Wed Eng tut 8am-9am, Chem prac 2pm-5pm, Chem 5pm-6pm
Thu Epidem 12pm-1pm, Phys 1pm-2pm, Phys prac 2pm-4pm, Bio 4pm-5pm, Chem 5pm-6pm
Fri Bio 8am-9am, Epidem tut 10am-11am, Epidemiology 2pm-3pm, Chem 5pm-6pm

As u can see, my timetable is really sucky.. too much break time in between and i have all my lectures in the afternoonish or evenish time. argh! anyway i guess i'll just have to bear with it. i wonder if there would be anyone that have the exact same timetable as me? hahas, i dont think so lar.. surely it would be different.

Tmw is my official start of school, marking it with preliminary lectures from 9am-11am. Yeah, owing to the large number of people taking health sciences, they had to spilt the group into two. Those with surnames A-L: lecture from 9am-11am and surnames M-Z: lecture from 2pm-4pm. Haha, I think we are getting our timetable tmw too. Cool, den would be able to see like what my timetable is. I hope this time, school ends early on most days. Dont want to end school at 5pm on most days anymore. But i heard that there would be a lot of free time in between lessons. More time to slack i guess. That would be cool for people staying close to school, can go back home, take a nap and den go back to sch again. Anyways, will see how it goes tmw.

Krap man.. guess what did i just found that poly students can now take the fast track to a biomedical sciences degree in just four years. Total rubbish man.. so they can save one year which the people that go to jc would have to take 5yrs in all. 2 yrs of jc + 3yrs uni to get degree.

Nonsense lar, so it means that more people would opt for that option to do degrees after they finish their diploma, which in turn means that the demand would be lesser since the supply is greater. Application of econs theory of supply and demand.

Hmm, if i go back with a degree in biomedical science rite, they might not take me cos i'm not trained locally. Dumb, i thot it was in demand so i was about to take that. But who knows, why on earth did they come up with something like that. It aint fair! The failure of the educational system. In that case, more people might just go to poly liao.. since they can still get their degree in 4yrs, saving one year of studying.

HELP ME TO MAKE THE CORRECT DECISION, COS IT WILL AFFECT MY FUTURE CAREER!!

PLease dont get me wrong, i'm not trying to say that going to poly is bad neither am i saying that it is good. I'm just trying to say that it isnt fair that people going to junior colleges must take 5yrs to attain a degree while those can just go by the shortcut and take 4yrs to get a degree.

I havent been blogging for the past three days. Well, I was online but didnt feel like blogging. Yups, this week is orientation week though it doesnt seem like one. Went down to the uni with nad to accompany her. Hahas, the queue on friday was much shorter so i shouldnt be complaining and whinning. Cant believe there are so many people taking health science. Krap!

I forsee that the chances of taking medicine or dentistry is really very very slim. Might just go for pharmacology or biomedical science. Then try for a B average, thus qualifying for the student exchange programme. I think this option is more viable than the first.

Yeah, and i'm contemplating whether i should take eng124 in 1st semester or 2nd semester. If i take eng124 in the 1st semester, i would be taking 5 modules in all. but one of the modules wouldnt have exams until the final sem. And erm i dont really have a solid grounding in chemistry. So if i either fail chem or bio in 1st sem, den i wouldnt be allowed for entry into restricted courses and have to go for my second option (the biomedical sci and pharmacology thingy) If i take eng124 in 2nd semester, i would be taking 4 modules for 2nd sem in all. And heard that biochemistry, biology in 2nd sem and physics are all killers. Oh yes, i have to take UMAT too in 2nd sem if i wanna try for medicine. Seriously, competing with 1500 people for 120 places in med sch is really though eh.. What is the probability that i will get in? 1 in 120 out of 1500.

So sad, i just found out that keiko is no longer taking health science. so sad!! keiko i will miss u so so much. Its so sudden and i only found out like the very last minute, when sch has started. haiz.. really very sad.. but anyways can still meet each other along the way in uni.

I'm back after spending an entire morning down at the university getting my course approval done. It was more of the queuing that was frustrating. A real test of ur patience!

First we went down to the correct place, den we were told by some staff that we had to go over to the medical school to get a signature from a staff there. Upon arrival, the person there said we were told wrongly and so had to go back to the same place where we started. However, the guy, some person from the medical school, there was quite nice and said to me, I hope to see you here next year and have a great year ahead. Cool, so i get on the year with a good start. Yups, so we had no choice but to walk back to where we started.

The queue was terrible or should i say that the system of queuing was real bad. Winding queues and totally no system of doing things. Maybe cos today is the first day of course approval, thats why ya.

Saw a lot of my ex-classmates.. den the second round back, met up with Nai hau, Chweeling, Tubz, Caleb, Ben and gang. They offered to let me to cut the queue and join them. But being responsible pple, haha ya i went to the back of the line with my dad. Oh wells.. Actually saw many of the foundation pple.. Nien, Yifong, Annie, Fiona, Pritti and Byung Joo were some of them. There were many international students too that joined other mainstream schools in new zealand. So competition would be tough eh!

Anyway the good thing that came out of the queue was that i didnt have to take the diagnosic test.. can go straight to take Eng124 (effective communication) instead of Eng126. Muhaha.. yeah.. dats good, so i wont have to go down to the uni another day. Hmm, when i got home and looked through the stuff they gave.. i realised that there wasnt any time-table of any sort.. So when exactly do i start lectures? i dunno.

Going back to school in less than a week's time. Wonders how my new class would be like, whether my time-table would be good.. ok correction, i dont think there would be any classes in the first place. Hahas, we shall just see what happens then. Might have lots of free time too, apparently its like easily two-three hours per day. More time to slack! Received the lab report already, haha I'm immuned to hep b and c.. Muhaha, so wouldnt have to take the dumb vacination. Actually got immunity like long time ago, that's why i didnt have to take hep b during sec four. Yeps, but my immunity has dropped.. as in not as high as before.

Anyways, i digged up some book that ms elaine made fairsians buy for life-skills. (i think) Or at least made my brother's batch buy. "The 7 habits of a higly effective teen" Yups, its not too bad.. readable.. Well at least the purpose for writing the book and the contents of it is relevant to my life. Aint that bad, its interesting! and it includes this workbook too.. something like teenage textbook and teenage workbook. ok, i'm just like blabbering away.

Hmm, looks like everyone is flatting this year.. I guess the homestay option has a lot of restrictions and hostel is quite ex too. But hostel or flatting would be so cool. I mean u get to stay with ur friends and there arent much restrictions too. and ur place might just be a one or two minute walk away from all the buzz. Am i right, keiko? am i right, linh? haha dont think u would be reading this anyways.. Yeah, since its so near.. can crash ur place in between lectures and tutorials.

Haha guess what? I just found out from someone that ms chng gave birth to a baby boy yesterday! how cool is that.. ok maybe i should stop using cool to describe everything. Yeap, babies are just so cute aint they.. news really spreads fast! :P

thanks i received ur card today! appreicate it lots..

Something Stupid!

I know I stand in line until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I love you"

I can see it in your eyes
That you despise the same old lies you heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
And never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late and I'm alone with you
The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And, oh, the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I love you"

The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And, oh, the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all by sayin' something stupid like "I love you"

Great, its valentine's day today! Yeaps, happy v'day to everyone out there, especially those lovey-dovey couples.. went for the testing of blood today and erm it was okay, not too bad.. But the person drawing my blood had to poke the needle into both my hands. hahas, the worst thing is she said, after inserting the needle into my right hand, and i quote: "I'm sorry, i dont think this hand (the right one) is good, i cant seem to find the vein. Let me try the other side" Den i look at her with the diao -_-" face! I dont suppose she got what i meant cos she smiled at me.. After she took out the needle and feel for the veins on my left arm, before inserting the needle. hahas, but erm the jab wasnt that bad..

Yups, after that wonderful meet with the lab pple.. went to town and jalan jalan.. haha and erm surprisingly was walking back to the car and someone tapped my on the shoulder. I turned around and lo and behold its my ex-classmate, Pritti. Cool, havent seen her for quite some time already. Oh yes, I also received a message from Nien. At first, i didnt know where the no. was from cos the country code was +60. Yea, i must say that it took me by surprise.. really it did.. i didnt expect it larz. Thanks guys.. Okay, back to the topic.. after that, got home read reader digest and than slacked.

Anyways in a totally unrelated event.. The following is dedicated for Edwin Zeng Xiang Hao aka MR HINT. Yups, finally a paragraph all about u eh.. though it isnt a blog about u but better see this ar. Yes yes, he asked for me to write something about him while he was krapping away yesterday.. So here it goes.. Hahas, Mr Nice Guy.. Issit self-proclaimed? i really dunno.. This u will have to ask him urself.. If u ask me, i think so.. muhaha.. His krapping is really krap.. Really, u'll have to trust me on this. Known him from FMPB which was later changed to council.. why change it to council? ok that's beside the point.. the sunshine when skies are grey, the rain that comes down when the lands are dry and the music that fills the emptiness in the atmosphere. Yeah, someone tt is really nice to talk to..
(edwin, let me know if everything here is still not enuff)

Since today is valentine's day, took something from 1 Corinthians 13:
And now I will show you the most execellent way.
If i speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If i have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if i have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
If i give all i possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always perseveres.
Love never fails. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
But where there are prophecies, they will cease;where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away...
And now these things remain: faith, hope and love.
BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE.

I'm so going to be dead tomorrow. Going to take my blood test for hep B and hep C.. Oh manz, i so hate needles.. Or i should say that i so hate getting jabbed, on the other hand i wouldnt mind jabbing others. Ok i sound so sadistic.

yoz, its time for me to go blogging again. First of all, the weather for the past few days has been very bad. Raining for the entire day and finally today for a little while, Mr Sun decided to come out.. But i think Mr Sun is too shy and is trying to go into hiding agaon. Bleah..

The good thing is that i managed to get up early in the morning today. Sadly there werent much people online, i dont know where they have all been. Where's everyone? Maybe still bai-ing nian. Its CHU SAN ytd mar.. To think chinese new year lasts for fifteen days.. Really miss going to friends house to bai nian, at the same time can collect extra too.. of course not only for that reason, but also to play mahjong, cards, catch up and stuff. I hope that i can at least stay for chinese new year when i get back. Cant afford to miss chinese new year for two years in a row.. hahas..

Oh wells, i have been playing online pool for the past two days. Yar, i know i'm bored, wu liao and have nothing better to do. This reminds me of secondary school days.. During our f&n lessons, we have like 3hrs to do our course work.. But the point is that we dont use the time to finish up our course work, instead we use the time to play neopets or pool against our classmates. So funny lar, we end up playing the computer for the entire 3hrs.. The teacher will just say say and as kids we just listen one ear in and out the other. And end up, continuing to play until the bell rings. Krap lehz..

After dinner, was listening to some nursery songs thanks to my brother found his way into that website and i was saying that i didnt have any childhood. (either which i dont really have or i dont recall)was looking for some donkey nursery rhyme lar.. apparently everyone else knows the rhyme except me.. i really havent heard of the song before. Anyway the topic of discussion of that came onto me of how i didnt do well in college. It seems to me that once u are scarred, u are scarred for as long as you live. People only remember clearly all your failures and not your successes. But failure is part and parcel of life and i'm certain that u have failed in one way or another before. Its not as if i didnt put in effort or whatsoever, I just think that i'm not cut out for that path..

On a brighter note, listening to children's songs really helps to lighten up one's spirits. Its just brings back the innocence in me. U guys should really try to listen to some happy songs too.. :D

I'm back blogging again. Hmpf, really got nothing much happening now and i'm gonna start school in exactly a week's time. BORING.. i guess once i start the schooling cycle again, might not even have time to say its boring. Everyone around me seems to be busy except me. I'm the only one in the family to be so free, sitting around home doing nothing, going online and talking to friends. they must be wondering why i was online almost everyday, that's because i have nothing better to do!

Oh yes, Juan i still cant seem to enter ur old blog. It loads for an ultra long time and by the time i enter i cant click on blog, profile or tag. Hmm, do check it out yar.. Its keeping me in suspense on *u know*, surely u've got something on him there rites. hahas..

Anyways, was talking to some of my cousins.. and they said something really funny. here it goes..
"see lar, you never come back.. this year chinese new year, i collected less angpao" then they joked asking my mum to sent the angpao over by airmail.. diao rite.. kids nowadays just dont learn. Hahas, krap man.. so lame. Yups, they are cute even though at this growing up age can be very naughty. But they are still cute and i still love them. Awwww... michellina, martyn, matthew, mabel, marcus, charissa, cassandra, ezra, claire, cheryl and christie.. I hope u guys are reading this yeah.. miss u loads.. Everything seems different without u pple around.. cny seems so quiet.. and of course cousins from my mother's side.. Though we are not like very close but i still miss u guys too.. iris jie jie, ivan kor kor, edmund kor kor (the only cousins older than me), marie, michelle, elin, desmond, isaac, chloe (should be the correct spelling).. The cousz on my mum's side and us are not very close cos we seldom see them and also they 'eat han zi'(sweet potato) while me and my brother is 'eat gan dan'(potato). Meaning to say that they speak more chinese than english and as usual you should know how bad my chinese is. Sad to say, my chinese standard has deteriorated tremendously in recent times..

Yesh, the next event coming up would be valentine's day and as usual i'll still be single and available.. Hahas, such a loser rite.. Everyone around me seems to be attached, even my brother. lol.. I wonder who will be my valentine? wonder wonder wonder.

Another thing totally unrelated to the above. I find myself getting hardar and harder to wake up at 3am after going to bed at 11pm. Even if the watch is right beside me, i still cant seem to get up but slam down watch. Hopefully i would be able to get up tonight larz.. Already made some arrangement to meet someone later tonight. Maybe with the motivation on the context of meeting someone online i will be able to get up. Or maybe i shouldnt even sleep in the first place, den i wouldnt have the problem of getting up. Yay, i hope there would be more people online too larz. Esp those that have to go back to camp soon.. ciaoz, talk to you pple online later.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone. Had been in nz for slightly more than a year, i remember had renunion dinner before we left sg. Yups, but sadly this new year i havent heard relatives say: "Gong Hei Fatt Choy, Shan Tai Kin Hong" (in cantonese) or simply when translated to chinese means "Gong Xi Fa Cai, Shen Ti Jian Kang" My grandma's place would be flooded in visitors coming in one after another, den we the kids would be happy of course, collecting the red packets and playing in the room, while the adults do their usual catching up in the hall. If you were wondering, my grannie's place is not very big.. just a normal HDB flat, so u can imagine how packed the place would be..

Well yeah, as you can tell again. I'm bored.. so just came online, no one's on msn to talk to, so the sudden urge to blog. Chinese New Year here is just an ordinary day, except that ytd night, there was some celebrations at the Octagon(the city centre).. But since Dunedin city area was affected by the flash floods, I forsee that it was a wet, soggy celebration.. hahas, i dunno just some wild guess. There wasnt much people online yesterday as well, i suppose all of them had renunion dinner. As a result, i slept a little earlier than usual.. Should have more people online tonight.. Anyways, just to end off: HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE AGAIN! though i would'nt be celebrating it at all.. i've come up with a theory.. no ang bao to collect, no ba kwa, no new yr goodies equals no new year..

hmpf, i forgot to add something to yesterday's blog so will do it now.. yup, yesterday was supposedly new zealand's national day aka Waitangi Day.. and there isnt much of a celebration here anyway, its just something to commerate.

as i was mentioning in the previous blog, had webcam conversation with my relatives but most of the time was talking to my cousins. the dinner was kinda short too, cos the following day.. morever its always the sunday before cny that we have our renunion dinner. so ya..

the conversation ended around 11-12 plus, den got to catch up with some of my friends before they left again for tekong.. its really a very small world aye.. kenny, samuel low, patrick and ben kwan are in the same bunk.. its indeed a very small world and wesley is in the same company, same platoon but different bunk. realised that what kenny said few yrs back wasnt meant to be a joke yup yup, anyways talked to wingshan and juan, more of less helped me to get things sorted out nicely. so now i know what to do next and stuff.. gosh, its really complicated aye..

there is like actually a more of confirm way that i will certainly come back this year end.. that would be if i get a confirm part-time job, so that if i am confirm getting it, den duh i would have to go back this year. but the down side of that would be i have to contribute for my own air-ticket, as in repay the cost of the ticket to my parents.. in other words, i'm paying for my own ticket.. anyways, its fair too cos i was the one who insisted on going back larz.. any ideas which type of job that i could apply now for like the end of the year? hahas..

yups, also the world is indeed a very small.. cant believe so many people i know well can actually be in the same company, same platoon and same bunk even. yeah, but its good to know anyway. now everything seems so unreal, and the reality is still setting in slowly.. i guess from now on, it would seem awkward and different. hahas, that's what i found out today, so long after they went to tekong.

hahas, i was suppose to get up at 3am in the morning today so that i could at least get a chance to talk to the guys before they left again to tekong.but, i didnt get up.. i guess was sleeping so soundly that i didnt even hear the alarm ring.. how pig rite>? argh, i shall try my very best not to fall asleep today so that i can catch them before they head back in the night.

hmm today went to church as usual and had communion meal too. the communion meal here is not once every month, its once every few months.. and today had the privilege of drinking from the communal cup cos there wasnt enough small cups to go by.. wasnt very hygenic in the first place, considering that bacteria and disease could spread larz.. hand-foot-mouth disease and sars etc.. yup apparently during the olden times communion was served in this manner..

hahas den on the way home after church and shopping, we actually got stopped by a police vehicle.. first time sia and i thought at first that it was because i didnt wear my seatbelt.. but no, it was because the speed limit was exceeded. lolx.. first time that we got stopped larz.. good experience and the policeman knew the exact speed that we were going at when we past his car. how efficient and ya the limit was only 50km/h when we were slightly over the limit going at 67km/h.. not really slightly, its a lot actually.. hahas but once bitten twice shy.. hope this doesnt happen in future aye.. but here got no demerit points, thats the plus thing leh..

tomorrow, i would home alone in the afternoon.. concluding that i'm the only one left slacking at home leh.. lolx, but its alrite.. i dont mind.. okies, going to have webcam conversation with my relatives and the peeps at singapore.. ya and they are having renunion dinner if u were wondering.. so we are taking part in it visually, spiritually, mentally, emotionally but not physically.. dont think its of any point in the first place though.. yeah just to please the elders and older folk. krap, this cny wouldn't really be a real cny..

shall cont'd blogging later, once every event for the night has ended.

i'm back to this computer again..

finish reading 'the little prince' in a few hours plus the first two chapters of 'men are from mars and women are from venus'.. but anyways got chased away by my brother, he practically goes everywhere with that book now and no matter how hard i try i can never get it back from him. so yup, i have no choice but to wait until he finishes reading the book.

hahas was suppose to wake up early to tag along to mosgiel, but i couldnt get up.. since no one could get me up, i slept in, until it was my usual time to wake up. den wasted some time on the computer trying to find a new skin for my blog and checking emails. everyone got back soon later and we had pizza for lunch, so much so for italian cuisine on saturdays.. yups, shall see what happens later and if there is anything interesting shall blog about then..

ok, i'm still searching for a suitable skin. yeah and now i have found the correct skin.. hahas i just love it so much even though there are still changes needing to be done.. all thanks to my beloved brother..

hmm...

woke up very early today, despite sleeping late the night before.. 8.15am yups its counted to be very early for me already, in fact eversince the holidays starts i have never waken up so early before.. even if school starts, my usual time would be 8.30am cos school starts at 9am. anyways, woke up early to follow my mum and dad to fetch my brother to school, and sent my mum for her job interview. after that, headed to the library to borrow some books and later walked around town a while.

went into an asian shop and this is what i found out:
dear vitasoy lovers, i dont think u can drink vitasoy here in new zealand even though it can be found here. guess what, six small packets of vitasoy cost seven bucks.. and its the small packet.. oh manz, i thought that finally i could drink vitasoy here after walking into an asian store.. but i was wrong! hahas, and to those who know me well, knows that vitasoy or dou hua sui is an essential daily supplement. yeah, anyway so i guess shall just do without it larz..

as i mentioned earlier, slept late the night before.. was talking to some friends that i hardly see online. was more of a catching up session.. and webcam-ed with may, its been a very long time since i last talked to her.. yup, then watched sunset at Dover. how cool was that eh? seeing tall highrise buildings and the ever so brightly lit streets.. the best thing was that i was in nz and she in sg, yet i can still get to see sg like i would from the window of her home. talked of the old times and of course bring up our 5 nights stay together at a hotel in thailand.. *wink wink*

okay, i just counted and i have about two more weeks left before school starts. actually i dont even know the actual date when school will start, i only know when i'm suppose to do back for course approval and the eng diagnostic test.. yup the eng test is dumb, cos if u dont meet the requirements, den have to take another paper and later the second one. its dumb, i really wonder what the test is about.. one thing's for sure, i dont think they will ask u to write an essay. imagine how long the lecturers will take to finish marking 1500 essays before the classes officially starts.

ok, how can i be so dumb to actually fall for a scam. to be so naive to think that i can actually win some poetry competition at poetry.com, and i have already submitted some of my artistic works of art. wait till i find out the owner of this .com site.. u never know what i'm capable of man.. this is so downright cheap to cheat so many millions of people into thinking that they are really talented in this field. i shouldnt be so naive anymore, thinking that there is an easy way out to publish my works. damn it, i shall just keep a personal file of all my works.. since i dont think there is anyone in the 'outside world' who is fit enough to judge my poems.

argh whatever, just remember folks that poetry.com is a scam.. read about it on one of the new zealand websites. and its interesting actually cos they mentioned how to tell which website or contest is actually a scam.. also, they listed down many more scam websites out there to cheat people like me. yeah i feel so dumb.. stupid stuff!
anyways, to cut the long story short, i shant fall for such a trick again.. have to check out the reliability of the website and stuff first before i do anything.

on a brighter note, haha i made a new email account..

as u can tell where i got the inspiration from lar.. hahas.. ya but anyways i'm still keeping the hotmail one too.. this is just a second email and it has a bigger storage space.. which is good.. now u guys can send pictures to me too..

the time of the month is over already and i'm back to my energetic self. talked to a number of people yesterday and found out that things have indeed changed.. lots of changes and drifting apart, all those usual stuff that happens to relationships. i suppose that this is not unusual when u dont get to see the person as often as when you go to school everyday. but then again, i believe this is not a valid excuse. besides, it is our own choice if we want to take the effort to continue to make contact with the person or persons. surely it is undeniable that time is the vital glue that determines the extent of ur closeness to a person. the more time you spend together, the more your relationship would grow.

yup yup, anyway i got some new tips on what to do for this year. hahas, i think med is absolutely too competitive to get in.. i guess only an A+ average would secure you a place in there. oh manz, i wonder what is my second option. okays i do have some in mind though and seriously i never ever thought of entering any of the science combis before, or should i say i never dared to think about that. that's becos it seems to be so far-fetched, just a fantasy which would never occur.. but now there is like a slight chance.

HOPE is something you think about everyday and someone told me this: dont just hope that u will get this and that, DO IT.

yeah, a tough year for me ahead. its gonna determine my career and my future.. come to think of it, its kinda scary aye.. imagine if i chose the wrong path, my entire career would be gone and also imagine if i didnt choose correctly, would i live to regret my decision in future. i wonder..

time really flies, the teenage years are fast zooming by, soon will be entering the twenties stage.. so fast aye! everyone seems to be working, finding something to do with the rest of their free time until uni starts. as for me, i shall enjoy the rest of my holidays before the dreaded cycle starts again.. hahas, my brother's school have started already.. now i wont have to fight with him for the com and i can use all i like till he gets home from school.. den i predict he may push my butt away from the com.. but till that happens, i shall just stick my butt on this chair and see what more i can rant about.
