Notting Hill

"Notting Hill" is a rather old movie which came out in 1999 but i havent watch it until today. Definitely worth the 2 hours siting down and facing my laptop. Hugh grant is without a doubt one of my favourite actors. Love Actually, music and lyrics and notting hill were all wonderful movies. Not forgetting Julia Roberts who is ever so good looking.

Go watch this film if u havent already.

All in all, its about "notting hill meeting beverly hills"

bye!

Ever wondered why the hand is often used as a gesture of farewell?

because hand = have a nice day!

yes i thought of that in the morning when i was in reverie lol

anyway, i'm proud of my frend erika for appearing on channel 5 live'n'loaded and giving a wonderful performance. All the best to Alternative Press!

And not forgetting my frends who are in the midst of their semester exams now. Good luck and lets huat after that!

bye all and hand!

MP Presentation
We had our Mp presentation today at 11am but we agreed to reach sch at 9 to set up and do last minute testing. Its a good thing that we went early because there were lots of hiccups. The most scary thing would be the dropping and breaking of the infra red filter which we all blamed YJ for it because he went up and adjusted the camera. Can sense that Rick is damn angry. Thankfully he had a spare one in his office so YJ was reprieved. The camera and laptop gave us slight problems as usual. Preparations will never ever be plain sailing for us.

But most importantly, our presentation went quite smoothly although we only had 5mins to demo all our applications which was a big rush for us. We more or less managed to answer most of the questions that were being thrown at us. They gave us a lot of recommendations on how to improve our project which until now, is still haunting me because I don't wish to do any more work from now on as i regarded this presentation as the end of the whole major project phase. Sadly, our group will most probably be involve in the project show. This means that we need to implement those recommendations given for the purpose of the exhibition. Sigh seriously, i rather get an average grade and not be selected for the show. But we don't have a choice. Imagine Rick's reaction when we tell him how we feel.

I'm definitely not bragging about the fact that we got chosen for project show. Please dont feel offended. I just want it to end but it remain as elusive as ever.

Veering away from the topic on school, ive yet to find a part time job :( please intro me if u all have any lobangs ok? Till then, i shall spend my time strumming and picking.

I managed to catch the movie "Music and Lyrics" on HBO a few days back. Even though i only managed to watch part of the show on both occasions when i saw it on TV, it is still as funny as ever. The ending is one of the best ever to me. In total, i think ive watch that movie 4 times already and it will remain as one of my favourites always!

Thats about it for this entry. The rate of me writing 1 proper entry now is once a month or somewhere there lol so we'll see whens the next one.

bye all and take care!

i've just experienced the deadliest "sleep destroyer" combo.

lion dance (at the storey right above)

Extremely ear splitting drilling (the storey right above too)

All happening at around the same time. Heck, the drilling had been going on for hours since like 10+ in the morning with short intervals in between. At least they gave me some respite but still!!!!!!!!!

drill drill drill, i hope u drill your brains out

annoying people

happy new year once again

Its been pretty fun and exciting so far. As usual, everyone came down to my place yesterday. My little cousins dashed into my room when they reached. Apparantly, computer games are more attractive then "ang paos" haha. But its good that they had fun. I remembered not looking forward to their arrival last time because i don't want to give up using my laptop.

Its different now, in the sense that i prefer going outside and talk to others rather than playing computer games. I don't really sit down and chat with them as we are not really on the same wavelengths. So i just mingle around, play with my little baby cousins and listen to the others talking. Somehow it makes me feel happy just by doing that.

I really look forward to chinese new year everytime because the feeling of seeing everyone coming together, happily talking to one another makes me feel blessed to be part of them. Thus, its quite dejecting when some didnt turn up or when they leave the place early.

Sorry, Its new year now and i shldnt sound so sad haha

Anyway today was fun. Went to one of my aunt's place at Jurong today. Its a fairly new apartment and its on the 20th floor lol. My cousin has his own room and its really nice. Nothing fancy or anything but i envy those who have their own area because they can decorate it!

Tmr will be the 3rd day of new year and most of the people will go back to sch / work. Somehow, i'm not in the mood to enjoy my break yet. Maybe we are not officially liberated until the presentation is over. The guys will be coming over for some MJ and that's how the day will be spend.

Hope u guys enjoyed celebrating chinese new year so far. Sucks waking up early to go visiting but still, beats going to sch for MP.

Enjoy and take care!

Have an ox-picious new year

happy new year everyone!

be back with updates soon when im less lazy

enjoy the nice new year goodies!

JASON GOH is a stupid dog

my new plimsoll from topman!

new year, new shoe

what about u guys?

Spirit!
After almost half a year, we've finally met up! Not the whole team was present though at ly's 21st birthday party yesterday. But then again, our whole team was never present during most of the outings last time haha. Its really wonderful that we all can still click so well together despite not talking, even on msn for 6months. Past events, especially all of the silly chalet jokes and antics were always being brought up when we meet, especially CY and me. We can go on and on for the whole day without getting bored of saying and repeating the same old sentences. Too bad all of us are either busy serving the nation or studying now, if not we will surely have another chalet and also another chance to withness a 19+2! (inside joke).

Before meeting them in the evening, i watched "red cliff 2" with eric and the others at Ehub. One of the most anticipated sequels this year and it wasnt too disappointing. Was expecting a sad ending where the protagonist will sacrifice and die but it didnt happened that way. It was a nice movie nonetheless

Met up with jason and cy at boon's place to settle ly's present. We bought him a plain jersey because the printing is unbelievably expensive. So we decided to just use markers and write smth on it haha. After spending almost an hour on thinking what to write, we decided to draw out the intended design that is supposed to be printed on the jersey and the outcome was good. We played some PS3 over there too. Winning eleven!, our classic favourite lol

Boon drove us to the condo where the celebration was held. I realised that my cousin lived there too, at the same condo. Saw a couple of familiar faces there, people like hongji, dominic and sean. Most of the people there were ly's relatives. Dinner was good and as usual, the same old jokes were the main topic of that night lol. I think it will really stick with us for the rest of our lives.

It was still early when the celebration ended so we decided to go to Ly's shop to watch soccer and also to reminisce haha. Boon, Jason, Cy, Ly and myself were there. Played card games like "tongkat ali", our variation of Poker and indian poker which Ly suggested. Whats the odds of getting a 2 of diamonds for the first time and then changing ur card to a 2 of clubs. The funny part is that the other guy is holding a 2 of hearts and there are more than 20 cards out there that is bigger than his but unluckily, u changed cards and got the one and only card which is smaller than his 2 of hearts and thus, losing that round. Thats what happened to me. Boon was laughing so hard till he went out of the room lol.

Anyway, we had a helluva time over there, not forgetting the man utd victory over chelsea! Ordered some mcnuggets to end the night.

Thanks boon for the trip back! and happy 21st to u ly! We all really need to do this again soon.

Back to school tmr and with MP coming to an end, i hope everyone will be able to finish their project and end it on a high note

bye and take care!

past few days have been pretty hectic. Need to prepare our stuff to show during the walkthroughs and open house showcase which is tomorrow! I dun like to present infront of a noisy bunch of crowds because chances are they won't be able to hear wat im saying. Hope everything goes well for the next 3 days.

And i hope everyone else is doing good for their MP. I know u all can do it!

its gonna be the start of a new year in around 1 hours time! Looking back at the start of year 2008 till the very last day of it, it was certainly memorable and fun journey albeit encountering adversities during a certain period of time.

I guess the highlight of this year would be my 3months overseas attachment period. Although we did come back to SG to spend the weekends once a month, i still find it hard to not have my parents and close people living in the same area as me. I missed Singapore quite badly during that 3 months haha and we even joked about wanting to kiss the road when we reached the singapore custom on our first trip back here during the first month of the attachment. So often ive been complaining about how bored is Singapore and that theres nothing much for us to do here. Ironically,this is the place that i cant wait to come back to when im abroad. We all need to get segregated from here for a period of time to realise that home is the best place to be!

Year 2008 is also the first year that i didnt get to celebrate my birthday in Singapore because of my attachment. I guess year 2009 will not be an exception either because i will most probably be serving the country during late july :(. A memorable 20th and 21st birthday indeed haha.

This will also be my last and final year in Poly. Something that i'm definitely looking forward to.. life after graduation! but i bet i will miss the times during year 1 and 2 when we were having lessons together as a class before we all went seperate ways for MP and SIP. This is how most of us behave. We often complain and whine about how arduous the process or journey is but when we come to the end it, we somehow miss going through the same thing again. Maybe we missed all the fractiousness! Though i get to make friends with other people in my course, the times during APEL with c140 were the best! I will be looking forward to more class outings and chalets in the future

Finally, to end this instropective entry, i shall pin down some resolutions for the new year!

1) To work hard during the holidays and earn some money
2) To advance musically in my guitar playing
3) To do more housework
4) To train up and prepare myself for National Service
5) To do more kind deeds!

and many more.......


HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE!

the countdown is over as im typing this sentence now!

May good health and prosperity be upon each and everyone of u

take care and all the best for ur future endeavours!

i just realised i spent 2 hours watching a movie that ive seen before

time to sleep!

bye all

yesterday was a fun-filled and memorable day!

The first half of the day was spent at sentosa with my secondary sch mates. Think its the first we went there together. Before meeting up with the rest at harbour front, i left home at around 6am to meet eric at tampines station. The plan was to meet up for breakfast, 7 am at some place near lih long's house. We decided on that while playing game that night so we gamed and msned till about 415am and i took a 45mins nap cuz i couldnt take it anymore. They were afraid that i would oversleep and wake up in the noon but i managed not to. Had Prata at somewhere near bugis. Muhmaad sultan road to be exact. The place we ate at was the only one in the vicinity that was opened and they make good and huge pratas!

I thought the beach at Sentosa would be super crowded as it was a Sunday but surprsingly and thankfully, its not! So we didnt had any trouble finding a sheltered spot to settle down. The weater was very erractic. It can be torrid for a minute and then cooling and windy for another. But it didnt rain so it wasnt that bad. We met a group of people from the express class over there too. Seems like we werent the only gang that is still meeting up after graduation. Didnt really know most of them but they all still look the same. So the group gathering turned out to be a CCHB reunion haha. We played soccer and captains ball together. Definitely relishing every minute of it.

I reached home at around 530 in the evening and quickly took a short nap as i can hardly keep my eyes open the entire day. Headed to safra at 645 for our class xmas gathering at Minds cafe. Glad to see most of my classmates again. Played a board game called "tabboo" It was actually quite fun and funny lol. I was so engrossed with it that i couldnt be bothered about my food. Did a gift exchange after that! Thanks alot pq for the cute present!

10 of us went to catch "YES MAN" after that at TM. Lucky we were able to get one whole row to ourselves. It was a movie that i was looking forward to ever since i saw the poster at Penang and it definitely didnt disappoint! The starting few mins is already damn funny. Those funny expressions of jim carrey's face is priceless. The movie is not all about trying to make u laugh. It also teaches one not to say "yes" to everything or to everyone. It might seem like ure a really kind person at first but as time goes by, ur "yes" might not be seen as a genuine one to others. Anyway, watch the movie and u will understand wat im trying to say. Its worth every penny!

Time for some pictures of yesterday's xmas celebration. There are many more pictures that is not with me right now. Shall add them when i have it

okay thats about it. Thank you guys for such a fun and wonderful night!

3 more days to xmas!

bye all take good care!

Driving
Had my Final Theory Test yesterday and i passed! 1 more step before acquiring my driving license and sadly, the practical test is the hardest. Not many of those whom i know cleared it at their first attempt. I hope i can do it though because i have to pay another 200bucks to retake if i fail. I cant afford to waste too much cash on driving. Don't wanna rely on my parents too much and time isn't on my side. Not sure when is my enlistment date and i hope its not any time before june.. so at least i might have enough time to retake my practical if i fail but i prefer not to. Need to start driving hard and getting serious about my lessons if i want to drive my 350z in the future!

School
I think we are in week 6 or 7 of our MP now. I got no idea by when are we suppose to finish our project but shld be a few weeks more, either early or mid jan. Progress had been so far so good. Hope everyone else is doing alright too! Its all gonna end soon so hang in there!


Im sure everyone cant wait to get their IP/MP over with and enjoy the long break before graduation. I'm certainly excited about it. Theres so many things i wanna do during the vacation. Go on a holiday with my friends. Probably to tioman or redang island! I want to find a job and earn some money to pay for my driving lessons, to buy my own necessities and to repay my parents for wat they had done and paid for me. I want to find a group of people to jam with. Its been a long time since i last stepped into the studio. Hopefully the search can be successful and maybe we can play in a gig or smth! Jamming is really something that i want to do often but cant seem to find the right people and time to do it now. So i hope that during the break, i can step into the studio at least once!


Christmas
Its 6 days away! Looking forward to the xmas celebration with my poly classmates on sunday. There will be a gift exchange so i will most probably receive my 2nd xmas gift. But its the fun and fellowship that i'm looking forward too. Might be our last xmas gathering as a class but sadly not all can make it.

Gonna celebrate with my usual group of frends next week. Going to lih long's place for steamboat and probably some mahjong session. Defintely gonna be fun.

All in all, this year's xmas seems like it gonna be filled with lots of fun and lots of laughters. Remember to put on a smile wherever u go. After all, this is the season to be jolly!


Take care everyone! You won't want to fall sick during this period of time

bye!

just finish watching love actually on channel 5. They will really screen it every year at this time of the month! Amazing movie. Definitely injected a whole lot of xmas spirit into me.

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is...
You


Merry early christmas everyone! its 10 days away!

its that time of the season again!

yeap christmas is around the corners and i'm already in the festive mood already. We've been playing the song "all i want for christmas is you" on friday in our lab. From the funny korean guy version to the original mariah carey version. And of course, not forgetting the movie "love actually", which featured that song too. Its a really nice christmas movie to watch. Hope that channel 5 will screen that movie again just like last year's christmas! Im downloading it now anyway because its a movie to keep!

Its a pity that we can't experience natural snowy weather in Singapore and my family don't have the habit of celebrating christmas so for the past few years, ive been hanging out with friends for some drinking session or having a good meal at restaurants. There was once where we get to exchange presents with one another and i think that was 2 years ago, with my poly classmates. We went to the function room at john's condo and had pizzas, presents exchange and lots of stuff. That was the only time i received a christmas gift. Yeap its a waste for families like mine who doesnt really regard xmas as a joyous occasion and thus, not carrying out the usual way of celebrating it :(

So what will u guys be doing for this year's xmas? ive heard that people in other classes will have a xmas gathering. Good for them :(

Anyway, better focus on MP first before anything else. Sigh its such a pain

All the best to everyone! Hope that the last month of 2008 will be a blast for u guys

bye all and take care!

as long as you dont give up, there will be miracles

I'm sure those who followed the 9pm Aids show on channel 8 would recognise that mantra.
Today was the last episode and it ended pretty well. To me, it is one of the more meaningful drama series that channel 8 ever broadcasted. I think it will galvanize people to emphatize HIV infected patients and of course not ostracize them. Most importantly, i'm sure it will enlighten others about the disease and how it cant be transmitted via casual contact. I defintely learnt a lot from this show, filial piety especially. We all must learn to respect people, especially our parents and kin!

Next up would be "little nonya". Its been a long time since mediacorp did shows during the world war period. Don't give this a miss!


I sound like im doing drama series reviews which i'm not. I just feel that this particular show deserve credits haha

Okay time for bed

bye all and take care!

as long as you dont give up, there will be miracles

haha
