I've become Welfare for 2x in a week now. From zero experience to being a "pro".. ahem.. hehe.. I have to say I enjoy being Welfare coz I'm delighted to see food;)

Just had a Malaysian Gathering with the theme WARM - We ARe Malaysians. It's a combined event between MSA and AMCISA.
I thought Welfare was quite slack. Ahem, no it isn't. But coz I enjoy doing it, I don't feel it. The event went well I guess.
I played in one of the three games. Crazy running game til I collided with another person at full speed. I don't even know who was that, all I know is my head hurts and my leg as well.
Today I woke up to find my ankle really pain. Lebam-ing I think.

For me, there wasn't much integration and it was so unfortunate that someone lost his laptop in the event. Hope he can find it back as it really hurts to lose such an expensive, precious item..
Anyway ya, Friday night I didn't join the study group, too tired, so ya, didn't study. But it's ok, I need a little break. Saturday (today), I studied but wasn't as well as I hoped.
Nevertheless, I wish to pat myself on the back and say "Good effort!". Lol. I don't know what's up with me. But I don't want myself to get all stressed up and I want to LOVE myself more! ;)
Even bejeweled this morning. Lol.. Sometimes, we have to pamper ourselves. I guess it's not to late to realise this. Hehe..

But I think something actually accounted for my good mood. My Calculus Midterm results were released on Thurs. I got 85. ;) Wasn't entirely satisfied coz when I did the paper, I could do all the questions, so I did wonder where my 15 marks went but of course I didn't expect 100!
But I'm happy coz I expected 80 and above and it is. So, ya, should be contented. For NOW only.
Do you know that over 70 ppl got 90 and above? And the average marks is 71. And the total number of people taking Calculus easily exceeds 300 souls.. Zzzz....
I know I have to work very very hard. And I will. Hopefully, the study mood stays with me for one more month. Just one more month, pls..

I also got to know my Programming results. Expected less than 25% coz I really SUCK at it! I got 8/20, so yeah! Can rejoice! Lol.. Ya, I know it's not even half but what to do, I'm contented coz I really really suck at it.
I'm S/U-ing it, no let me rephrase, I already did! Lol, so less to worry. But of course that doesn't mean I can throw it all behind me. Still have to study..
But I dread studying Programming coz to me, it's a waste of time. I feel that I could utilise the time for my other subjects coz what I gain from revising it is really negligible.. Hais..
Anyway, I'm heading to bed now!

Nights! ;)

Life is short and unpredictable

Recently I was told that a son of a family friend has cancer just as his dad had.
It's really saddening to hear such a news. More so when the unfortunate is only in his 20's.
It just hit me that life is short and unpredictable.
Cherish the ones you love and love yourself in every aspect.
What others think of you is unimportant. You are who you are.
You are unique, so love yourself to the fullest.

It isn't hard to remind yourself to love yourself but harder to remind yourself to appreciate your loved ones. And that is not restricted to only family members but friends as well.
I for one, need constant reminder.

So, by right I should quit complaining and start living happily. I hope I can do so for that is what my parents would want me to do.
To live life happily..

I hope everyone, from my parents to my family members to my friends and to those who I have yet met, will be healthy and happy..

Nothing is more important than health and happiness..
Strive for happiness and not excellence, for nothing is perfect!

What do I do?

What do I do when I get utterly annoyed with someone.. I know I shouldn't be practising such negative attitude but it's so hard to control your own emotions..

I find that someone very childish and rather insensitive..
I did wonder if it's stress that's causing me to feel that that someone is annoying or was it accumulated for months and now I just can't stand any longer? Or was it that someone getting more and more annoying??

I realise it isn't easy to tolerate someone. Especially someone you see like what, daily?! Zzz..
I'm not one who likes to be told to do someone. Wait, let me rephrase that. I totally dislike that! Yes, coz I don't like being controlled. In fact, it would be perfectly fine with me if you live your life, I live mine. Minimal interaction is totally what I prefer....

It's so hard to surpress this feeling! I vent my frustration to my mum and she also stated that it's due to my nature, not liking being controlled or disturbed or being fussed over.. She didn't say in detail but that's what I learn about myself.

Kek ar, kek ar...

Some people told me to tell the person in a nice way but I'm not a "nice" type of person so I really doubt if my words will not succeed in hurting that someone.
So I have been shutting my eyes and ears whenever that person annoys me, telling myself to ignore, ignore....
Yes, I don't like confrontation or you can say I fear the consequences of it.
But when I'm taking care of the person's welfare, I'm killing myself inside..
Why am I so stupid.. So .. I can't find the right word..

"Isn't it common sense to not bang things around?
Isn't it common sense to be considerate with your activities when one is sleeping?
Isn't it common sense to not disgust people with your conversation with your loved ones?
Isn't it common sense to mind your own business and not question other's peculiarities (so you think)?
Isn't it common sense to not tell someone what and how to do something that is basically just not your business and when you're not asked for opinion?
Aren't these all just plain common sense..................."

They seem common sense to me for I practise all of them but don't receive the same treatment..
It's suffocating.....

Jia Lat..

I'm stuck with that word, "jia lat"! For a very good reason.. Wasted my whole day.. Crap.. Someone chop off my internet connection to youtube pls!

I'm now obsessed with Super Junior, can you believe it?? Ya, it is believable, if you know me.. Haha.. And more so with Kyuhyun! Omg, he's so charming, and that voice of him will melt you from head to toe.. *dies..*
After my frequent visits to youtube, ahem, i meant it.. I discovered that Kyuhyun isn't the shy shy quiet type of guy I thought! He's actually freaking cheeky and being the maknae (youngest), his mischieves are just so adorable..

ahh.. speechless...^^

And I've changed my perception of Heechul, the pretty boy in Suju. Lol.. Really, he's freaking pretty! All girls, we can hide our faces in a pitch black hole.. Lol.. Initially, other than thinking he looks like a girl, I find his actions and face very yongsui.. But thanks to Bae Huey, who took up my whole Sun night up til morning, intoxicating me with Suju (ya, you succeed..), I realise I fell for Heechul's charisma. He effortlessly kills people with his speech, with that poker face of his.. And he actually has a kind heart, fighting for his fellow members. Really admire his personality. So, ya, from negative, he has rised up my ranking by a lot a lot!



see.. i didn't lie.. i was so shocked to learn that it's actually a "him"... lolx..


kk, the real Heechul.. not bad la, but Khuhyun is the best! ;)


Then, the rest, all are also lovable people..
Eunhyuk, just can't get enough of his dance moves! So sleek and freaking awesome..

Today, I left my bottle in the toilet in North Spine, will collect it tomorrow, if it's still there, and if I really left it there.. Haha.. Submitted tuition grant (relieved..), delt with my NTU Study Loan, and attended a free Adobe Workshop! Heck, I don't know why and how I ended up signing up for it. Basically wasted my 2 hours there, though got nice stuff to see, but don't know how to use leh!

Then, youtube the whole evening lo.. Til my laptop also can't tahan me d.. It hanged.. Then only finally I stopped.. Hais.. If this is what it takes to make me stop, then die.. Then, I did my Macro tutorial, wasted the whole night making power point slides, drawing nice graphs on laptop.. Hais.. It's next week's tutorial actually, but I don't have time to do this weekend, so no choice.

This weekend, starting tomorrow actually, I will be freaking busy with Committee Day and MSA meeting. And I'm gonna cook with my fellow NTUBS main comm on Sat morn! Hehehe.. But got to start cooking at 6am leh!! So, ya, weekend is occupied.. Hais..

To make things worse, I got to know my MAS111 midterm results, got only 68/100. Actually, I already counted I will lose at least 30marks(stup paper!!grr!), so I was relieved to see that I lost only 32 marks.. But still.. Imagine all the Chinese nationals are way above me.. Hais.. And fellow Malaysians leh, Indonesians leh, etc.. Hais, duwana think..
But next Sat(31/10/09) got quiz again! Oh no! Just one week, with no weekend and with next Friday occupied for MSA-AMCISA combined supper!

*JIA LAT*

Night Cycling~ 280909 8pm- 290909 10am

Night Cycling~

Immediately after meeting, I eturned to hostel to pack some stuff for Night Cycling with my coursemates - Lynn, Chee Wah, Chee Peng and Alvin (half coursemate, haha..). Lynn, CW and CP were already at JP buying some snacks while I went with Alvin. I totally relied on him to bring me to East Coast Park (ECP) where we were to meet the rest to get our rented bicycles;) Alvin doesn't know how to use the shorter way, so we took MRT, Bus and reached there at 10pm. Haha..

Then, our night cycling began!! Actually, we have no planning wan.. Haha.. Lynn is a PR, in Sg for 3 yrs and Alvin in Sg for 4 yrs already. CW seems to know know aso I think coz he visits his cousin every weekend. Even CP also know know. But not me! So again, I rely on the four of them.

It was fun eventhough we dunno the directions. C'mon, Sg is so freaking small, even if got lost, no prob! Hehe.. And another thing, it's safe for cyclist coz we don't cycle on the road, we cycle on the pathway and use the zebra crossing. Unlike Malaysia, it is much safer.

Me me me and me!~

I can't remember or rather dunno where we really went. Haha.. Sorry sorry..
But we were starving, so searched for food in Geylang. Went to a Mamak stall. Had mee goreng, milo, teh ice, milo ice, roti prata, and boom. Haha.. Along the way, saw ahem hem.. "chickens".. But it's safe again coz we were on the main road. Just that, have to be careful not to be mistaken for one of them. But evil Alvin says we won't be.. =_+..

Then, of coz we took pics wherever we went but sadly no camera, so only have cam phone.. But ok la at least better than none;)

We wanted to have the famous egg tarts in Geylang but sadly finished d! Then, just had some drinks and continued..^^

Went to Marina Bay, so beautiful! My dream of being a civil engineer returned abit bit.. Sobs..
Took many pics and guess what? F1 in Sg just finished the the night before. So, the chequered flags were still there, we suspect the podium was there in Marina Bay! Roads were closed with police everywhere. Haha.. We had the roads all to oursleves;)

Then, they lay down in the open space, used Alvin's sleeping bag while I learnt ultraman dance from CP. Haha, its really a stupid dance, but just for fun. Haha..

Then, it rained! Argh! We quickly ran for shelter nearby and played cards. Haha.. Then, some of them were sleepy, so they "slept" awhile while CW, Alvin and I continued playing cards. We played "fishing". Hehe, then, rain stopped and we got onto our bikes and headed to Bugis.
Aiyo, sien lo, everywhere no food stalls. And crap, my bicycle started making weird weird noises and restict my cycling. Hard for me to cycle especially when going up the slope! Luckily sometimes, Alvin would accompany me at the back. Good la, the guys would try to be the last to "protect" girls.

At Bugis (or maybe not, I don't know. Ehehe..) we finally found a stop to have desserts and carrot cake. We shared and rested awhile. Coz riding the bicycles are really killing our asses and inner thighs.. Pain arr...

We took a lot of funny and nice pics;) One of the many many pics we took.. For more, visit my facebook, got video too;)

Then, we decided to cycle back to ECP coz we weren't sure how to go back. It was around 4plus I think. Then, we slowly found our way back and took some pics of our tired faces.. Haha..
Poor CW like dead fish, so sleepy and tired. Alvin and I were the most alert ones. I have no idea why was I so alert also, considering the many late nights I had.. Maybe the enthusiasm of night cycling just kept me awake;)

We managed to reach ECP around 5.30am and bought McD Breakfast sets, then ate in the park with the wind hitting hard on our faces. Haha.. Hard to eat ler..
Then, waited for sunrise. All 5 of us lay on the grass and watched the sunrise.

CW cannot stand, fell asleep, followed by CP and Lynn at last also slept after snapping our pics and asking us to do funny funny weird poses with our feet dangling in the air.



Haha.. Lynn and CW shared the sleeping bag, to CP's dissapointment. He lazily don't wana take, so at last, CW took it. Haha.. And CW was lying under a coconut tree and Alvin scared him by saying the coconut seems like will fall on his head. Haha.. Very funny as CW keep feeling scared that he'll be hit by the coconut.

Alvin couldn't sleep. Me too. The rest sudah tidor. Hais.. So we explored the beach and went on a huge rock which seems a perfect substitute for a cliff to commit suicide. Haha.. Then only I saw that there were many ships out there. We chatted till the rest called us after finally waking up.

Then, we returned the bicycle keys and went on a bus. Each of us fell asleep on the bus till we overshot our station. Gee.. Then, quickly got down and we parted ways with Alvin who's heading home while the 4 of us going back to NTU via MRT. Lynn, CW and I managed to get into the packed MRT but CP didn't! Haha..

We went back to "collect" CP and this time we all managed to get into the train. It was around 9am that time- peak hour.. Stopped at Pioneer, got onto the bus and reached NTU. I immediately hit the floor and slept till 1plus. Did laundry, cleaning the whole day. Checked my mail after so many days and kinda wasting time, not really in a study mood which is bad!!

And here I am blogging when I'm suppose to utilise my 3days in NTU before heading to Klang to meet my parents on 2nd Oct (Fri). Study, Erin! You have 3 mid terms next week! No rest~

Busy busy September...

The title of my blog simply explains it all.
Upon being elected as the Event Director on the 4th of September, my life has been busy and busier.. Don't get me wrong, it's not only NTU Buddhist Society (NTUBS) that kept me so busy.

Investiture for BS falls on the 17th and Mid Autumn Festival (MAF) for MSA (Malaysian Society which I volunteered for.. hais..) is on the 20th. With such limited time to prepare 2 events, you can only imagine how hectic was it. And to top it off, I was fully in charge of the Investiture.

Investiture

1st meeting with subcomms, preparation ranging from ideas to slides to preparing hats/crowns for the handover session has been a roller coaster ride. I didn't even have the time to know my subcomms and we have to get right down to work. Prior to that, I was busy running here and there approaching previous director and my coordinator to ensure I'm doing things the right way. It wasn't easy coz I was entirely new to BS, I don't know a single thing. Have to start from scratch. Neilson, the previous director was a very helpful and approachable person, making me comfortable to approach him for advice. Min Ruey, my coordinator on the other hand was scary to me in the beginning. But I find him very nice now that I know him better.

But to him, work means work, so don't mess with him!
He asks every little bit of details from objectives to reasons of why I'm doing each and everything. In the beginning, it was really hard and scary but I understand his intentions.
This is because BS organise every single event with objectives to benefit members and not just for the sake of organising. He guided me and helped me through the way and I'm very grateful for that. Communicating with my subcomms was not smooth sailing for each and everyone of us has different personalities, but we managed to overcome all odds and time constraint to make the Investiture a success! We were showered with praises and more motivation, especially the hats/crowns we made. Ya, we were very creative. Ehehehe.. I'm so proud of myself and my subcomms and will continue to work hard to not disappoint those who elected us for they had faith in us! Gambateh!

Nice anot the hats my team did? Hehe, nice leh..

Fell sick..

Oh ya, I fell ill on the 6th till 10th. Quite jia lat actually. Fever reached 38.1 celcius. Freaked me out and I walked to the clinic in NTU, paid SGD7 for all sorts of medicine for I had everything, from sorethroat to flu to slight cough. Even got 2 days MC from the doc but I didn't use it. Coz I will suffer if I skip my lectures. So, just beared with it and maybe that's why it took me quite long to recover. Imagine falling sick at such a bad time, I managed to sleep for one day but had to get back to the Investiture and MAF preparation immediately. Studies? Really no time for that.. But I had a quiz on 11th Sep (Fri) for stupid MAS111. Mati betul. Somehow had to cramp in some time to study coz it accounts for 30 marks! (Actually at that time, I thought it was 15%) So, ya no joke coz I wasn't clear about certain proofs so I had no choice but to memerise and drill the rest into my tired brain. End up, the quiz was by far easier than what all of us expected. Ceh.. Haha.. Thank god.. Oh ya, I just found out today I got 29/30 ;)

MAF

So, fast forward abit, right after Investiture, have to concentrate back to MAF. Waliao, tired man.. Immediately after the event itself, had to rush to help do the dedications (we did cd dedications). The guys all can't help coz of their clumsiness and not careful enough, so girls power! Went back at 2am.. Actually, in this month, I always reach my hostel at 2-3am. Very tiring, I've never been so busy ever ever ever..

We had many things other than dedications and not to mention the amount of work to get the dedications done. Spray the cd's, draw, stick moon (mooncake festival bah..) and write the dedication msgs. Oh ya, we even had to fold the "cd cover" which is very nice actually. So creative of Lynn and Sin Ying.. Then, have to distribute and collect money.. zzZzzz....
And we have a whole lot of programs. Chee Wah la, our chief, so "on" want to do this and that. Have games, sketch, dance. So lotsa lotsa practices the 2 week before MAF, which coincides with my preparations for Investiture. Hard to balance...

Fast forward again.. The sketch was actually very funny. Haha.. Here's the link..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVSXx2_lUco
Hehe, I was the narator. Poor me have to change voices.. Lol.. Nevertheless, it was fun...

2 Midterms and 1 Quiz!

Immediately after these 2 events ended, after all the huge amount of stress and constantly deprived of sleep and time.. there was a Dharma Talk in BS on the 21st (Mon) and after that, had to continue collecting money and distributing the MAF Dedications. My work never ends! And guess what? I have 2 midterms on Wed and a quiz on Fri! And I have yet to start studying.. Really dead meat..

On Mon itself, I managed to do some studying in the afternoon before the Dharma Talk. I skipped a free lunch by MSA as a reward for our hard effort in the MAF. I skipped the FREE steamboat to STUDY!! Seriously very sakit hati.. But I had no choice and fortunately for me, my determination was strong enough to fight of my desire.. But still!! Haisssssssss.......
Then, I studied in the study room from 10.30pm to 1am. Quite scary when I turned around, ahh, so few people left in the room only! But it's Singapore, no prob, SAFE~
The previous night (20th, right after MAF), I forced myself to study too coz I was afraid I don't have enough time to cover all. So, I returned to hostel at almost 1am and studied till 3plus.. *Panda...

Anyway, Tues I thought I had more time to study but I forgot I had MathLab! Stup Week7, I have MathLab! I could only study at night. That night, I felt so stressed. Coz I was only studying for MAS801 (a Math module which has ALOT to remember and have to practise, not just study) and I haven't started on the other Midterm for HS814 (a humanities module which I actually need to read only, no need to practise like math..). Talked abit to my roomie and felt better after expressing and releasing the stress..

Studied till 4.30am, woke up to attend 2 tutorials at 10.30-12.30am, then midterm at 1.30-7.30pm.. =_+

I personally felt MAS801 was okay although I know I would get wrong for quite a few questions. At least I could do, and wasn't idleing there. But HS814 was pure silly! Hais, duwana mention it.. Sadness..

After that, had to study for MacroEcons. Quiz on Fri! My coursemates all have begun their revison the previous week. So, you see, I was really at a disadvantage. Wed night mugged till 4.30am again. I couldn't wake up that Thurs morning for lectures at 8.30am. It was raining!! So, I slept back but woke up at 9.05am. Decided I must not skip lecture, so rushed for the remaining 1 hour. Haha, left my bag outside and walked in with notes only, trying to avoid being spotted the late commer.. Luckily I went, it was a new lecturer, a Chinese national! Argh! But surprisingly, find her good. And the lecture was very important. I would certainly don't understand if I totally skipped the whole lecture..
And to top it off, I had to prepare for a meeting with BS subcomms on Thurs evening. Have lots to prepare for the meeting. So again have to squeeze into my hectic schedule. Reached hostel at almost 10pm on Thurs night, mugged (it means study in Sg, no idea why..) till 4plus again.

The quiz was okay la.. I know I have 2 wrong out of 10 already.. Abit sad coz one was due to my carelessness and I think 2 of my tutorial mates got full marks! But actually I'm quite satisfied also. ;)

Woohoo~

Yeah, midterms and quiz are over! Though I copied Programming blindly in the lecture, I was looking forward to the night! Went for Chinese Cultural Society+Amcisa's MAF (much grander coz much bigger scale), made own mooncake and ate it! Then, got a "Har har chim" (extremely bad prophecy), argh, threw it away, totally stupid wan.. Haha.. Then, went supper with OG and drank soup for the 1st time! Yummy~

Pretended to go back to hostel but actually we planned a birthday celebration for Alvin! Haha.. We pretended to say bye bye to him but came out again to surprise him! Wanted to blindfold him but haha, not very practical. Went to ADM (the beautiful building with a grass rooftop~), we set his bday cake and mini mooncakes with candles, sat in a circle, had 2 guitarist, 1 singer to create an even greater atmosphere..

It was an awesome night! So touching and romantic atmosphere though no romance la. Haha.. We sang songs and Jun Lum was so high that night. Something very rare but very happy to see that. He and Choon Siong kept singing so hyperly on their feet. We had 2 very awesome amazing musicians! Zhong Zheng and Justin. Fuyoh, just name the song, they can play for us.. So syiok... And of coz Bae Huey, our great singer with an awesome voice!

Later on, we even composed our own songs. Haha, so fun and funny! It was very very nice! Hera is super duper awesome!
Then, we waited for sunrise (thou we couldnt see it from that angle, haha). We lay there trying to get some sleep. I went back at 4.30am to bathe and pack my things for my Management Retreat for BS Main Committee which is on Sat, the very next day! Omg, I really cari susah wan.. Returned to ADM at 5.30am and prepared my meeting stuff there. Brought water, biscuits for my fellow OG coz they were hungry and I'm sure thirsty. Surely enough, they were!

BS Management Retreat

It was a great night which has to come to an end. 6.30am returned to hostel, immediately fall flat and slept till 8am. Then, meeting meeting till 2.30pm. Gosh, I almost died there. Slept only 1 hour plus, I really fell asleep a few times in the meeting. I hope noone noticed. Then, went to Little Bodhi Centre, the venue for our retreat.

It was an intense retreat whereby we practised Noble Silence during meals (no talking prohibited while eating) and many challenging activities which brings stress too. But I'm kinda used to it already. Slept at 11.30pm that night, again sacrifising my supper for I was desperate for SLEEP!! Woke up slightly late, scary! Returned to NTU on the 27th Sep night (Sun), slept at 12am till 9am. Mon morn 9am meeting againg till 5.30pm, then went for dinner.

I benefited alot from the retreat, be it dharma knowledge, leadership skills or even getting to know the other Main Comm better. ;)

Time to Step Up

I passed my toughest challenge thus far and earned myself a post in the main committee in a 2nd tier club in NTU.
I secured the post of Event Director in NTU Buddhist Society (NTUBS). Hurrah!
I was so nervous on the day itself, not forgetting how this has been affecting me the whole week actually. Had many extremely late nights coz I was finding more information to support my future plans, which turned out to be not necessary for the rally (but essential in my upcoming days as ED).

Brainstormed for ideas and my speech..
Brainstormed for aspirations to go in accordance to the objectives of NTUBS.
Brainstormed, brainstormed..

Asked around for opinions, asked Jackson (thanks so much for your help, thou I noe u wont be reading this, ekeke..)
Asked Neilson (past ED), he was very helpful, willing to share his experience and knowledge with me.
Rehearsed with Neilson and 7 other candidates in Hall 5 TV room (very nice place with aircond^^) on Thurs night, the night before the rally day..
That's half of the candidates running for the main comm actually. But me being the only 1st year to be selected to run for main comm. So, ya, it's a big thing.. Actually, I was taken aback too..
Learnt alot from the rehearsal, identified many missing crucial components such as aspirations and future plans.
So, went back and did my homework, googled for more information. Came across some interesting information but not enough.
It was already 4am, have to sleep.. Have to rest myself..

Survived in Macro tutorial, but failed to do so in Programming lectures. Was unable to concentrate, not going in, so I decided to take off during the break..
Ya, my 1st time playing truant in NTU. I feel awful!! But instead of unable to concentrate, I thought it'd be better for me to google more info in Lee Wee Nam library.
So, I did. Then, met up with Neilson. He told me some of my ideas isn't so practical due to the restrictions set by NTU on NTUBS. Helpful piece of info.
Then, he showed me a nice study place in South Spine. Neh, I'm not revealing.. Neh neh neh neh neh.. Haha..
I stayed there as he took off to his class.
Then, Jackson came and we "chui sui".. Yes, wasting time but it was very good to distract me from the tension. Calmed me down a whole lot.

Then, went to MAS111. I intentionally did not print the notes coz felt it was redundant. Plus, my cashcard is low on credit..
Yup, I was right coz he didn't fin the previous lecture. Erm, actually I didn't listen to him, not even one bit. But this time is not due to the lack of concentration. It's plainly bcoz it's "him", the lecturer..
Asked the CNYang scholars when I didn't understand certain part as I went through the solutions on my own. It was ok. MAS111 isn't that bad after all.. Or maybe it isn't that bad, YET..

Anyway, fast forward to the rally. Very nervous, cold. Just before my turn when David was giving his speech, I suddenly shiver in cold or it was probably due to the anxiety - I don't know.
Thank god I didn't go blank when it was my turn. I think I did pretty well.
Speech was ok, didn't forget the speech I prepared.
Q&A.. Probably you can say I was saved by the last year's committee coz alumni didn't get the chance to shoot me with difficult questions.
But the first question, my heart sank..
He asked me about Investiture - the upcoming event to be organised by me in less than 2 weeks time. I was asked what activities I could organise to benefit the members.
Oh, gosh.. Thank god I prepared, read about Investiture, so my answer was Dharma talk by the Venerable..
2nd ques: What difference are the events organised by the Event Team from those organised by the Dharma and Metta Team.
My answer was not much difference bcoz our activities are carried in accordance to NTUBS objectives. But Event Team has more flexibility in the events to be carried out. I also touched on the formal activities I will be organising - Investiture, NTUBS anniversary and Wesak Day.

I thought I did pretty well and I was told I prepared well and did well. Hehe, and of course, I passed^^
Relieved....................

For 2 reasons.
1st, I got the post..
2nd, I'm guarenteed a hostel next year! I was searching for 5 points so pitifully and now I have 7points^^ More than what is needed and I don't have to share with Singaporean;)

Actually, on Wed, I put my hostel on the line. I withdrew from another rally - Logistics for Visual Arts Society (VAS).
I would have automatically secured 5 points if I rallied. No Q&A session and impossible to lose.

Why did I withdraw? Coz I prefer NTUBS to VAS and if I got 2 main comm posts in these two clubs, I'm really concerned on my time management skills.
And I really don't like the idea of having to choose between NTUBS and VAS. It is too unfair for both clubs who chose me for they believed in me.
So, I decided to withdraw from VAS.
Fortunately I made it in NTUBS or else I'm back to square one, no points!
So, it was a gamble worth all the risk and anxiety.
Through this rally, I learnt alot. And I noe the journey has only just begun.

Now, I have 2 events coming up in 2 weeks.
1st: Investiture in NTUBS, led by me. I hope I won't disappoint, I hope I'll do a good job and establish myself as a worthy Event Director.
2nd: Mid Autumn Festival in MSA. I'm not the leader, but one of the comm, so I hope I can juggle these two well.

Wish me luck as I'm stepping one up in my life!
Choosing NTU as my destination was not plainly for the high quality of education but to enrich my experience in leadership.
Given such a golden opportunity, I really don't want to waste it and disappoint those who chose me, had faith in me.
I will have more faith and confidence in myself and work harder!

Brainstorming..

Brainstorming is all I could say.. This is certainly the toughest obstacle thus far in NTU..
NTU Buddhist Society AGM is tomorrow..

G-Dragon's Solo Debut! ~Heartbreaker....^^

Gonna keep this short coz I don't have time!
But I'm so HAPPY and DELIGHTED G-Dragon finally made his debut!

I have to admit that I was thrown into shock when I saw his MV. His hair!! What did he do to it??
Blonded it.. Haha..
Next..
What happened to him?? So so super duper freaking thin!!
He would look a whole lot better if his current size is like last time when Big Bang is still active!



Then, I got all his songs from Mei Yen- thanks a million, Yen!
Listened to them and found them not so impressive in the beginning.
But.. Yes, BUT..

As I listened more and more, I was eventually addicted to them!
Preferably Heartbreaker and Breathe! But virtually all now^^
This happens, all the time.. Hehe..
I used to hate Sorry Sorry and Again & Again and also Mirotic, then I just got stuck with those songs.. Haha..
But honestly, all Big Bang songs left d best and bestest impression right on the first time I listened to them^^

I lurve how artistic G-Dragon is! He's an all rounder, that you can't deny and have no right to condemn!!
Very great artist and I love his fashion style!
For a while, I wasn't really seeing eye to eye in his fashion style.
But, it's all back!!

G-Dragon's comeback mark his return to the stage, the spotlight as well as his awesome fashion style!!

Kidnapped in a mobile assylum..

Last night provided me a new and fresh experience.. Something I find it so unique and a must-share experience.

Actually, yesterday, my OG Hera was suppose to go for an inter-group outing with another OG, Poseidon. Due to the exceptionally wrong timing, almost all Heraians balik kampung to either jaga anak or tanam jagung.. Haha..
Only a handful or so were left, including me. I would like to participate but again, wrong timing.
On Friday, my coursemates and I attended a hell lecture whereby we were completely lost in it. Only the China students understood and could solve the Math questions, with ease. Even with explanations, I felt like French class would be a whole lot easier to comprehend.
So, you see the severity of this matter. It completely demoralised us and 2 of my coursemates even contemplated to change course. I think it was just an act of impulse, although I was really like a "dead fish" as well..
So, one of my coursemates, Lynn, arranged for a meeting with our course seniors to get their advice and guidance. It was due to be on Sat at 1830.

Therefore, I was unable to participate in my OG outing because it starts from noon and will only end at night. Unless I want to join them for half of it and return to NTU by myself..
No way! I even get lost within NTU itself! Countless times.. I couldn't find the lecture theaters..=(
So, I passed on this outing..

Managed to buy 3rd hand books from one of the seniors, Wei Kang. Met him earlier coz he was supposed to help me add MAS801 but the operation failed, much to my disappointment.. Huhu..
Anyway, he started off with SGD20 for Macro. I tried to bargain, to be honest, I felt bad but this is money matter!! I just bought the new edition of Calculus for SGD50.70 the other day! Sim tia ar!!
Then, Minglit came - my OG senior. Gee, didn't know he so banyak cakap and is good buddy with my GL, Choon Siong. That could only mean one thing, he's the crazy type too. Haha..

Then, Minglit threw in another 2 books that he said I will need on top of the Macro and tell me to ask WK how much he would offer for 3 books.
He said SGD35! Okay! Grab!!!
Then, I belanja him a slice of rock melon which cost SGD0.80! Ahem.. Ya, I'm converting every single thingi..

Okay, most important part has yet to come.. Hehe.. Coz we missed the outing, we Hera wanted to go for supper! Yoo hoo! In a place call Ah Fang which is just around Hall 4..
Jackson illegally got a van and drove us all there! This is the exciting and main part!
Wanna know why??
Coz the back of the van has no seats at all! The windows are all black (I don't think they are tinted, no light seems to be able to penetrate through, more like kena cat with black paint, lol..).
Franscois, Regina and I were waiting at Hall 2 Bus Stop. We hopped in, like being kidnapped only! Haha, so funny..
Inside, there were 6 Heraians already, 4 at the back. Hehe..Know where 4 of us sat? On the bulging part of the van where the tires are.. 2 share one..
I shared with Regina, Bae Huey with Franscois, with Franscois and I facing the back of the van.
Dangerous eh coz when Jackson break or jerk a little, we felt like we could be thrown off. Then, I joked about waving frantically at the back windscreen and even press our faces against the glass, sending signs out that we were being kidnapped! Hahaha..

The whole van sungguh da bising! Usual la, it's Hera.. Hehe.. I'm one of the noisiest ones^^
Due to the ear defenning shrieks and laughter of the Heraians, Jackson couldn't concentrate and eventually made the wrong turning! Haha..
Then, we called Choon Siong and Yong Leng (the only 2 geylang Heraians who went for the outing.. How depressing.. Poor GL..). They were at Pioneer.
Initially they didn't want to join due to fatigue. I actually called GL earlier and he declined. Then, this time the whole gang persuaded them to go with Jackson fetching them from Pioneer.
We even went "Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai..." at the phone and kena "marah" fr GL later.. Haha..
So they agreed. And we culik another 2 hostages into the assylum van.. Hehe..
And they had to settle for the base of the van.. Haha.. Poor thing, no more place for them to sit..

Then, we reached Ah Fang and even ran into my roomie. Hehe.. I know she was going for supper but dunno wer. Hehe..
Walau, I was so hungry.. Attacked roti prata with egg which costs SGD1.20 but not enough leh! Still hungry!! Then, ordered toast with 2 egss - SGD1.80!
Gee, my supper costs more than my lunch or dinner! What to do, hungry le..
That day itself, I ate 4 eggs! =)
I love eggs so much and miss them so freaking much!!!

Very fun and nice experience.. Hope to gather for supper again^^

080809 & 090809

080809

We had AmaSing race!! How creative is the name.. Hehe, headed out to the city again=)
Let's see, I almost got crushed by the MRT door.. *Gasps..*
Choon Siong, my GL helped to push the door. I think he's too skinny d, so I still got crushed abit.. Haha..
Aish, they talked about the Ghost House thingi.. I'm so sad.. And stup GL keep looking at me with that sneer on his face, reminding me that I didn't get to complete it..
So funny when he said he fell asleep while being a ghost coz he was too bored when noone was scared by the ghosts.. Then when someone arrives, they wake him up in time to scare the victim! Haha.. Maybe he just exaggerated.. Lol.
Anyway, ya, he's a funny guy and the best GL!

First was searching for puzzle pieces and putting them together. To obtain the missing pieces, we had to take pics with strangers walking around there. Haha.. Act, Ying Zhen and I had to say "I Love You" to a pair of father and daughter.. Not bad la, easy to do. =)

Then, we went to Clarke Quay (haha, it's suppose to be pronounced Clarke "Ki".. poor Huey Chien is stuck with that nickname for prouncing it wrongly..)
We had to do Mass Dance and chicken dance.
Then, the programmers had us singing "Titanic" (no, not that titanic song.. this one is very different with actions and stuff) to the boats passing by. Foreigners were entertained as they snapped photos of us.. Haha..
Then, as usual, we Heraians used our secret weapon (work each time) to "seduce" the programmers into upping our marks. Hehehe..

"Hera, Tei.."
"Hera, Tei, Tei.."
"Hera, Tei, Tei, Tei.."

"Muac muac, Kiss kiss, Muac Muac, Kiss.."
"Muac muac, Kiss kiss kiss, Muac Muac, Kiss.."

Wahahaha.. It's so much fun! Then, we were awarded more points=)

(Sorry if I left out some stations, or misplace them in order.. memory cha..)

We proceded to another station whereby we play Charade.
Jun Lum and I were the first pair to act.. Hillarious..
We had to act "Tiger met Tarzan and fought. Then, they became friends in the end"
It was so funny, I feel.. I was Tiger, he was Tarzan. As the next pair act, and so on, it changed into something else.. Haha..
Then, we have to act again and fuyoh, my OG guessed!
Then, as the next pair acted, it was about "Crazy person being caught by the mental hosp officer"
Haha, Huey Chien was funny acting as the crazy fela.. This one was ok, everyone acted well.
Next, was ghost crawling outa the comp screen when another person was playing the comp. Everything was extremely fine till it reached Jia Yu.. Sweat" He totally ruined it.. Haha.. We stuck our tongue out to symbolise ghost, he didnt. So it looked more like 2 fela playing game.. Haha..
Then, the last one, I can't really remember.. Hehe.. This was a fun game..
And again, we used our secret weapon.. Ekekeke..

Then, there's this game whereby we have to move our feet or hands to certain colours of paperplates on the ground.. Choon Siong ended up doing Yoga pose! Haha, Francois says wan.. Lol, but it does look that way.. Ahaha..

Then, next is "Gong Chu Pao" wherby the guys have to carry the girls (not piggyback). However, the three tallest and maybe strongest boys were away, not present. So, left 5 small sized boys with 5 big sized girls.. Lol.. So, our group only had to do 2 pairs. Haha..
One of them tried to carry me, but of course fail la!! Hahaha..

Then another game is crap le, I did before wan but cant remember. The stup boat with 1mother,1father, 2daughters, 2sons, 1uncle and 1dog.. Then, as forfeit, have to eat bread filled with wasabi.
I don't think anyone noticed but I actually gulped 3/4 of it in one mouth.. I opened my mouth as I ate and tried as much as possible to avoid contact with my tongue. So, it was actually ok, nothing. I didn't even have to drink water after that. Cool eh?? hehe..

Oh ya, we had this "Chess" game ( i duno how it works). I was only the pawn, moving when told. Haha.. Then, as forfeit (hehe, ya, forfeit again), we had to perform chicken dance in front of a couple (ah moh). Haha, they took pictures of us. They looked like they enjoyed it but after that, we didnt see them. Mayb sudah lari! Haha..

And we also had this game where we had to draw 5 things by pulling strings tied to a brush. Lotsa teamwork needed. Haha, our twin tower looks more like chopsticks! Lol!
Then, we had to caterpillar walk, where we glue our heads on the person in front us' back, bending down..

Last stop was to play a game where we had to come up with 6 moves. Cannot la, very hard coz everyone had to go on diff pace. So, as forfeit ("we love forfeit!!"), we had to perform chicken dance with one person. So, we got a kid to dance with us, haha.. And took photo too..
Then, of coz not forgetting our secret weapon!! Alright, we used it for each stop.. Haha..
But this was funny coz one of the 3 programmers picked up his call in the middle of it and couldnt speak properly, then he hung up just in time for "Muac muac, Kiss kiss" and he gave a very surprised, funny laugh. Haha!
Btw, did I say, all Heraians surrounded the programmers with them right in the center. Ya, it can be traumatising.. Hahaha..
At one stop, one of the programmers said "Pei cin to pei yan fei lai" (Give money(points) to let ppl "molest") Haha..

Then, we had auction for MSA's Nest Top Model which is the next day. Auction for accesories for our models.. Haha.. Auction with the point we obtained in the AmaSing race..
We didn't have much, just average. So, Choon Siong dunno whether to bid anot.
And act, the accesories are either funny or stup.. Haha..
But, still, we need to have one=)
In the end, we got chain. Haha..

(Skip one event)

We practised our dance once more. Then, balik tidor..

090809
Then, balik NTU.

060809 & 070809 in NTU~

060809

Attended SPMS orientation. SPMS is my school, stands for School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. It was quite interesting but turned into boring coz I had very little sleep the previous night, plus talks are and can put you to sleep.. I did fell asleep with my hand supporting my head. Lol.
Got goodies which include a jacket (still din see how it looks like), a bottle, a pendrive (with info in it), collected matriculation card as well..
Met with another 6 fellow Malaysian MAEC (my course - Math & Econs), 5 guys, 1 girl.
Hmm, let's see if I remember their particulars.. The girl did A Levels in Sg and is 2 years older. One or 2 did STPM, 2 did A Levels, 1 did UEC.. I think only the UEC guy is the same age as me and friendly..
The others are okay too except for one who I din talk to.

At night, we had a combined camp with fellow FOA (another camp for Msians - mostly UEC chinese speaking students, mine is FOC - more English), so my group became Hera-tei..
"tei" means butterfly in Mandarin if I'm nt mistaken. It was a very big group, we played games together but I didn't enjoy it as much as I did on 050809.
Then, we also had one short combined group with our fellow school members. There, I met 2 MAEC girls. They told me there were 5 of them taking MAEC, summing all of us up to 12.
Quite many eh.. Haha..

After photo session and splitting with FOA, we had "speed dating". Freaking lame, man..
They blindfold us and made us talk for 2 minutes to each guy. I duno how many we talked to - maybe 7/8/9.. entahla.. I was so tired (mentally) and sleepy also actually..
And the paling lame thing is, I know 2 of them!
Sweat"""""""
One is my coursemate, LOL! We just sat beside each other today and when I answered I'm taking MAEC, he gasped in horror. Then, I knew we must be coursemates.. Lame right??
At the end of it, we were asked of our preference. We had to name 3 in order of our preference.. We used nickname, btw. Hais, simple tiong 3.. I cant remember the conversation I had with each of them, but I remembered one thing very well, I didn't choose the 2 fela who called me "banana"..

Although I am, and I admit it myself but somehow the way they put it left me feeling rather insulted. Lol, anyway, who cares..

070809

Today, got to sleep till 10am. Actually was supposed to get up to do my laundry tapi I snooze, as usual.. Lol..

We played a game whereby we had to search the places in the photo the seniors give us. For freshies, this is rather an uphill task, especially for me, coz I'm still clueless when it comes to moving around NTU..

Took my medical report, no prob ;) but I still do not know my blood type! I'm so sad!!

Then, we played a game where we need to get seniors' details but it doesn't come free. Have to do what they want us to do.
My god, one of the senior, Wencin, gila wan.. He's so into Math (he's taking Mathematical Sciences) till he made us compete one on one against him in a card game.
Four cards, we have to either add, subtract, multiply or divide to get a total of 24 points. His brain worked so freaking fast whereas we were so blank.
This was the only one we got forfeited, haha..

Then we had "Mass Dance" session whereby we learnt the dancing moves of a S Club 7's song. It was rather hard coz it was fast and the dancing isn't something I know though I loved it wen I see the Koreans dance.. Hehe..

Somehow today not so much "um" coz GL (group leader) not present. You'll know why later and I knew later in the night too.. My GL is a very crazy and fun person. Shit, I had to pause to think of his name.. Ahaha.. If he knows, he'd probably kill me coz he was so hurt that we didn't know his name.. Lol..
So without him, it had not been so "high" as what Bae Huey put.. I agree.. But in the dance, things got heated up slightly.

Then, we were pulled to another place. We were told that we were to meet our "SP" - secret partner from the night before.. =_=
We went in blindfolded with our group members first, then will meet with our "SP". I went in with a guy from my OG (orientation group, btw, apparently singaporeans lurve singkatan!).
When we removed the blindfold, guess what's the surprise awaiting us? Guess who were the ones holding our hands..??
GHOST!!
It was a lie, it was to be a haunted house thingi.. The ghost screamed and I was scared but I didn't make a sound. That's just me, I think. Even when I sit roller coaster, same thing - I can't shout.
Actually, the funny part is, when I removed my blindfold, I was busy taking out my specs to be worn, so initially, I didn't know what the heck was it.
Anyway, crossed over to another room and another, the guy from my OG seemed calm but kept swearing along the way.
Thus far, met 4 ghost and guess what?? That was it!
My partner chickened out! He says he has weak heart and wants to quit.. Erm.. I thought he was just saying but he really meant it.. So, ya, I can't force him right..
So, I missed it. I was rather sore about it coz I cant go back in, that will disrupt things for the seniors. I mean, I know I'd be terrified, etc but I wanna experience it too..
It's so saddening to hear my friends talking about it so excitedly although they were very much petrified.. Some to the extent of crying and shivering..
Anyway, forget that. At least, I can tidor lena;)

I accompanied Bae Huey for quite some time coz she was very scared. So, I comforted her and tried to make her feel better. Just stayed with her..
The rest were discussing of the sketch we were to perform on Sunday. I wasn't really in a mood, so I just stayed out and accompany Bae Huey.
Then, rehearsal began. They finally got the plots set. So, I joined them and so did Bae Huey.

Just in case any fellow NTU reads my blog, I shall not divulge further information on Hera's sketch.. ;p

Tomorrow going out around Sg, have to wakup at 6am. Reached hostel at 2am, did my laundry, isi byk air for 2moro and blogged while waiting for my hair to dry.. It's already 4am.. Nites..

2nd & 3rd day in NTU ~040809 & 050809

040809
Took the QET test today.. Haha, ok la I guess though very karat in essay d.. Aiya, die, I can't really remember what happened on this day..
Effect of not blogging on the day itself..
Erm, I remember I came back at 12am++ and slept at 1am++ aso.. Haha..

Oh ya! Seniors were awesome! They came up with a sketch! Gee, it was really good.. Combining their acting with power point and speakers, it was very good. Really..
It was a story they came up with about the origins of our camp, MSA FOC.
Intoducing the groups' names with our group leaders as "warriors"..
Athena,Achilleus, Nausicaa, Calypso, Apollo, Eumaeus, Poseidon and my group, Hera!!

Then we played games..
"Mingle, mingle, mingle, mingle"
Hehe. It's quite a cute game whereby we have to do whatever needed according to the code d MC says.
Example: "Lighthouse"
We have to get into a group of 3 with one putting her hands together forming a triangle like above her head (the lighthouse) and 2 others running around her with fingers in the cup shape, opening and closing (the lights).. Hahaha..
So, whoever who fails to find a group or did wrongly will be forfeited..
I kena aso.. =_= Evil programmer, cheated on my group (needed 5 to form Mexican wave).
He joined us and even did the Mexican wave with us. Then, he just abandoned us and shouted "Forfeit, forfeit!!" So cruel right?? Hahahaha..

Then, by Sun, we have to perform a sketch pula. This time, only all freshies.. The song we got was Para Para Sakura (sweat..) and we need to use 5 towels in our performance.. Lol.. I duno wat we gonna do, but I think it'll be hillarious.. Lol..

Okay, I really cant remember the details d.. Haha, forgive me for my empty mindedness.. ;p

050809

Woo!! This is a miracle day! Got to go back to hostel for few hours and I did my laundry, online, and the best part is sleepppppp!!!!!!!!!! Hurrah!!
Bought a pail and pegs at the Nanyang Supermart, desperate for a bigger pail!!

Then, we learnt some new and revised some old cheers in Old Canteen A. Then, proceeded to Telematch! Before that, we made our Group Flag. Hmm, it wasn't very fun coz I wasn't involved much in it. Maybe it's my fault too.
But my suggestions were not wanted, so I can't do anything aso rite.. Then, the same ppl did the paintings, so I just gladly let them do it lo.. Apparently, im not the only who felt this way.
So.. I tak tau la.. "Too many cooks spoil the broth.."

1st game was a game whereby you compete to see which group gets the most members over to the other end. There are a row of chairs and you have to sit and move quickly along them. When you meet your opponent, you have to win by playing scissors, paper, stone. Then if you win, they'll have to clear the part for you. It all happens very fast and quick. Ish the other group so "cho lor".. I now have a bruised hand thanks to one of the guys who sat on my poor hand! Immediately, a semicircle like mark appeared on my hand, which I duno why is it in that shape. And as I massaged it, I can see the obvious lebam-ness emerging.. It's a "fei fei" now.. Kinda reminds me of my hand in F3 when I got it injured in futsal.. Haha.. But diff area, same hand though.. Lol
My group, Hera, lost! Haha.. Then 5 guys from my group were forfeited, but it appears to be a luxury for them. Haha..
The girls from the other group washed their hair. We're postively sure they enjoyed it and loved the "forfeit"!! Haha..

Then, we proceed to another base where we play in pairs. One to be blind folded and the other to give instructions. Have to crawl, avoid knocking into chairs and avoid stepping on newspaper.
I partnered with Beh Hui (i think that's her name eventhough we're rather close now). I was blind folded and she gave instructions.
We banyak chemistry le! So fast completed it!
But Hera lost again.. Lol..

Third base was complicated but cool.. We had to retrieve plastic cups of water from a fixed distance. So, everyone have to help out in supporting the person.
We lost again. Haha, this forfeit cukup "cham"..
Kena flour and simbah water. I was wet from head to toe.. And was still in that condition when I reached my hostel. Lol.

Fourth and last game, played with tennis ball. Used 1.5 litres plastic bottles to hit the ball. Something like futsal but we don't get to move around. We have to stay put and only use the bottles to hit the tennis ball.
3 rounds, 1st round tied at 2-2. I played in the 2nd round, some sort like in a defender position. Beh Hui was super cool as GK! Our striker was awesome too! He was very cheeky coz he feint his moves and tricked the GK. We led by 2! 3rd and final round, striker remains the same person but opposition put a better GK. A bit tight but we won!
Finally, Hera won! Woo hoo!
Each time we scored a goal, we were like hooligans, ran around the "court" shouting "ole, ole, ole.." I joined too and loved it. Lol.

Very enjoyable night indeed. The best night thus far. But it doesn't end here..
My hall leader was really fulfilling his words. He shouted to everyone before we left and they sang Happy Birthday to me, and another guy who shares the same birthday as I.
I was very touched but paise as well.. Lol.. Nitezzz~

First Day in NTU! ~030809

It started off a disastrous day for me. I couldn’t sleep the whole night in bus. Closed my eyes but to no avail. And later on only I found out that Mel Veen was the same as me though I thought he was sleeping soundly. Haha..

My hands will probably sprout blisters 2moro due to the fact that I carried 2 freaking heavy bags without rollers.. My shoulders would most probably ache like hell too.

Reaching in Sg and later on in NTU, I seriously don’t feel like I’m out of Malaysia. To be honest, I was very scared when I reached NTU. All of a sudden, the emo me returned, I felt so pressurized.. Being the youngest all these years in Malaysia public school, I realize I was one of the oldest now. And among the weakest..

The worst thing was that the stupid damn TFL.. Heck, that idiot fat lady told me mine would most likely be invalid due to the missing cops.. Scared me to hell when she said that.. I had to bring my mum here or else I have to fill a new form, and to do that, I’ll have to post back to Msia and have it repost back to me.. And my parents had already crossed over to Johor Bahru. I borrowed my senior’s hp and called both of them umpteen times but no response.. Crap, I felt like NTU’s already suffocating me..

Then, ding dong from parents calling back, calling MV’s parents, calling their OCBC friend.. You don’t wanna know the details.. I’m telling myself to forget them too.. What a freaking stress moment! Thank god I had my medical test taken before that.. Very canggih way of taking x-ray, no need to lie down.. Cool.. Urine test, blood pressure, blood test (it wasn’t pain! It was fascinating!;p), and of course the height and weight measurements..

Alright to hostel.. That was the first thing I did when I reached NTU. Got a Batu Pahat roommate who did UEC and is doing Bio Eng. She seems nice;) But when our orientation camp started, we weren’t together anymore. She was joining the Chinese one (dunno wat name) and I was joining the MSA FOC. Yup, I speak Mandarin to her.. At least a year.. Haha.. But it’s ok. Hostel not too bad but freaking dirty. I was dying when I reached hostel at erm 11pm I think. Imagine not having sleep the previous night and doing all the labour by carrying my luggage (many and damn heavy, no joke man!) and walking here and there in NTU to get things done. Trust me, it’s HUGE.. I would easily get lost. By the time it was 9pm, I was really tired and sleepy, the seniors words were not entering.. Lol.. And came back, chatted with the other room girl – from Ipoh, senior 3rd yr in Econs. Sharing bathroom with her and her roommate. She seems nice too.. Hope so;) Cleaned, cleaned, cleaned… Wash, wash, wash… Tired……………………….

But let me fill you in with something nicer, something everyone would want to hear from me. After all, I chose NTU hoping to enjoy, and thank god I did! The camp was amazing! But also coz I told myself, “Hey, just let loose and enjoy! Forget the disastrous day!” I did! And enjoyed all the activities..

Don’t ask me their names, I can’t remember, especially the typical Chinese names but I recognize my group members and some of their particulars. Many seniors and I’m sure that was what that made it all so fun! I made friends with one girl who’s doing Econs, named “Siao Tong”- what a cute name! She speaks Eng, and that made me more comfortable. Hehe.. Then, there’s this girl senior who I like too, but I forgot her name.. Paise wan ask again, duno ask how many times d..

We had a lot of cheers, it was fun coz I really shouted and participated! I’m proud of myself.. Lol.. Then, they had this game where you are suppose to do some action and the rest will follow while one will have to guess who’s the “leader”. Initially they chose a boy to guess but he failed to guess the correct person in so many attempts, so they wanted to forfeit him but decided to get him a friend to be punished together. I was the poor scape goat.. I was chosen to be the next leader, thanks to some senior named Jonathan or something.. But was spotted! Then the seniors were deciding on what type of punishment and they ended with “the 3 wonders” – doesn’t it sound intimidating??? And 2 guy seniors demonstrated. Eww..
1- Left hand on the right cheek;
2- Then I forgot what
3- Legs around the waist!
Urgh!! I thought I had to do that! Gee, I wanted to die.. Luckily they didn’t. Our “3 wonders” was rather funny, lol..
1- Left hand to left hand (ok! No prob!)
2- Left leg to left leg (ok, this was weird but no prob too, I’ve got pretty good balancing)
3- Then, ask us to go lower (this was a little challenging, had to stay for 10 secs, passed!)
Had to be sporting to enjoy oneself right.. I wanted to life my mood so badly..

Then, had this card game where each take a card and show it to others but you yourself. The person with the biggest no.and lowest no.will have to be forfeited again.
Then, at one round, I was advised to change my card (you can do that but have to ans ques), so I decided ya I should (I trusted them coz afew told me to).
A senior named erm.. Ming Lit I think sat beside me. He had a “K”! Obviously he’s changing coz his friends told him not too. Ahaha, that’s the sign you should take notice of right? So, he did and got “Q”. I changed too but I didn’t know actually if I had the smallest or the biggest no.. Changed and got a bloody “Ace”! Argh! The smallest of the smallest! Mine was initially a “K” and I changed to an “Ace”! No difference! And the joke was, there’s only 2 “K’s” so Ming Lit changed his, I changed mine, so no more “K”! The biggest now is “Q”! So, changing cards still made no difference. Still, it was we two who kena.. Alongside another 2.. Crap, but we laughed so madly. Really la, so freaking “cheh” and “sui”!!!

Then later in a game (erm, I duno how to describe the game), I got to know one Malaysian guy (all are Malaysians, actually) who’s doing Mathematical Sciences but is thinking of changing to Mathematics & Economics. He had been studying A-Levels in Sg and visited NTU quite many times. It was nice talking to him coz our group is so big, we don’t get to talk to the others. There are more guys than girls by quite a lot. Maybe like U6A, no, it’s more actually. I noticed that in other groups too. Oh ya, my group is “Hera”, nice name eh.. It’s quite a stupid game but okla. Just that I don’t like them to selit boys in between girls and vice versa. I actually skipped one (not supposed to but very tired and lazy d..) but had another one, so had to join.

2moro got QET but here I am blogging. But couldn’t post it coz internet connection requires a password which we were not given.. Nights!

Last night in Taiping with my beloved ones..

YP said I must blog before I leave.. Ya.. But don't really noe wat to write..
Erm..
Last night, took a family photo with my family and got it developed today. Put it in the photo frame that Carol gave me.. (thx, Carol!!) and will bring it to Sg and land it on my desk, where I can look at my parents everyday..
I don't have the soft copy, so no pic to show here..

Had a family dinner with my cousin treating me, along with other combined reasons such as a joint bday celebration for my aunt and I, which we used to have it every year, just not this year..
Spent some time with my extended family, but I don't actually consider them "extended".. So, ya, just "family" is the right word..
Will be going over again tomorrow for lunch. My aunt will cook my favourite dishes! Yum, yum..
I predict there'll be "siu bak" (grandma ask to buy), "pak cham" kai, "lat liu" duck (my request! *slurp), "yok choi" soup (me favourite.. ;p), etc..

Posted msgs on MSN and Facebook. So, I think everyone should know I'm leaving.. Will online whenever I can..

XOXO,

2NE1 - I Don't Care

Today I watched my last Music Bank before departing to Sg.. I'm so sad! This is my favourite show week in week out! *cries with mukus flowing out (ahaha..)

But seriously, I'd miss it so so so so much.. Miss KBS World in NTU..

This episode of Music Bank is interesting bcoz I was love struck.. Ahh..

Haha, no, it's not a boy band.. Not Big Bang's comeback.. Oh no, I can't believe I'm gonna miss that!

But it's related to them.. The female Big Bang! ^^

2NE1 !!!

Ahaha, ya I mentioned them before briefly in my blog but never actually loved them the way I love Big Bang.. Though I did have a liking for CL and Minzy..

Anyway, my 2nd time listening to their new song, "I Don't Care"..

I lurve it...

"I don't care.. eh eh eh eh eh..."

Ish, it's stuck in my head now.. Ahaha..

Got to see CL's eyes for the 1st time, lol.. Boy, are they small but I still love her.. She's so charasmatic.. In a way, she takes after GD so much..

But no, that's not why I like her.. I just like her for who she is..

And I like their new outfit.. Nice and cool! Not too cranky.. It was.. NICE!

LTR > Bom > Dara > CL > Minzy~

5 more days..

Woke up with eyes bulging.. Whether did they anot, I dunno.. But I get the weird sensation around my eyes.. You know.. when you don't get enough sleep..
Thought I was running late for a 10am bfast with friends when I woke up at 9.45am.. Haha.. Alarm was not heard, as usual.. ;p
Turn out I was the early one, afraid to get down coz none of my friends were present and erm, I was afraid that I got the wrong shop.. Haha..
Anyway, saw YP and I got down. Haha, with uncles and granduncles around, we were slightly more conscious of our behavior and manners..
But failed at times too.. Hee.. How I'd miss that in Sg..
Hope I can meet crazy friends in NTU.. After all, I need to get some peers rite? Haha, ya, I'm admitting that I'm crazy. Wahaha..

Nice peaceful gathering.. Only 5 of us, such a miserable number of friends left in Tpg.. But that's not gonna deter us from enjoying.
Was introduced to "Puri" (okay, I dunno how do u spell it.. SL? Anyone??)
Haha, basically we're gonna reunite in PC Fair.. Lol, 3 will be helpers while TW and I will be customers.. Lol.. Or rather, pengacau.. Ehehe..
If only it was earlier or I'd be going to NTU later, then I can be one of the helpers too.. Earn some pocket money to Sg.. Gosh, the thought of conversion makes me shudder.. >.<
Even the money that I saved up from my four months of working will be "kei sui"..

Anyway, money should not be a problem. Opportunities don't come knocking often.. I should cherish it and make the most out of it..
Reached home and hit the laptop (ehehe..) for awhile before I headed to school..
So sorry, Xing Ying! I was not allowed to take your cert for you. Both Ms. Chuah and Pn. Lam said "No" almost the same time.. Haha..
It seems like it's a serious offence if I did so.. Haha.. Nola, just that we have to take it ourselves..

Talked very long to Pn. Lam, interrupting her essay writing process.. She's such a hardworking and always learning teacher..
Too bad can't talk much to Pn. Han.. She wasn't there at first and when she returned to staff room, I was engaged in a conversation with Pn. Lam.
When I went over to Pn. Han, she had not much time before she starts R&D with the Lower Sixes.. R&D?? Gosh.. Haha.. But seriously, pity them..

The cert is so broad, can't fit into my file! Ish.. But it looks nice.. Except that I would much prefered it to be in just English rather than in both languages..
It didn't dawn on me how valuable this cert is, academically and also the process of obtaining it..
Much have been learnt and the way my dad talks about it being connected to Cambridge (I didn't actually realise it..), I can feel his pride in me. *Sniff sniff.. (Haha..)

And just a few days ago, I realised that I'm going to University! Okay, I know all these while that I'm going to Uni but it wasn't a big deal for me..
It has been a common thing that students go to Uni after high school, so it doesn't appear to be anything special..
"It's just called University.. Same as school la.."
You know, that kind of thought..
But I just realised that in my parents' time, it was difficult, very difficult to get into Uni.. You have to damn good or filthy rich..
So, my parents never had the opportunity.. But they didn't keep that away from me..
In fact, they gave me all that they never had..
I can't believe I'm tearing up.. I'm getting so emo.. Shit!
So, ya, back to it.. They are proud and happy that I'm going to Uni, a phase in life they never got the chance to taste..
If only money can buy back time, I'd want to get them back their time so that they can experience what I'm about to in the next 4 yrs..

So, NTU, give me a blast, okay!

No more indecisiveness! Hooray!

Pn. Chuah told us to get double degrees when we visit her.
I will go one up and get myself triple degrees!
Haha, nono, I don't want to end up with a divorce cert alongside my wedding cert..
Not that sort of third degree.. Nono.. Haha..

Being as undecided as I've always been, not knowing whether to choose what I want or what is better for me, I admit I hate being in such dilemma.
It totally sucks..
Not only am I eating myself in the inside but I am also worrying those around me..
I know I'm a terrible person and sometimes, I really feel that I don't deserve the love and support they shower me with, despite my flaws..

So, I have decided, irrespective of the reply, I will go ahead with what I have chosen. There shall be no regrets, no sadness, just a fruitful life ahead awaiting me and I'm gonna reach that with smiles along the way.
Hopefully, I'd be able to make those around me happy and proud as well.

In the future, be it in the short term or even when I'm all teethless and covered with wrinkles, I shall fulfill my inner passion and get a third degree!
Maybe it'll be the second.. Who knows.. Whichever that comes first..
Haha..

Okay, that's it, be positive, be happy, be determined and enjoy my university life to the fullest!

Hall 2~

Hostel application was out yesterday!
I got Hall 2. Was hysterical coz I don't know where is Hall 2! Flew downstairs and searched for the NTU Map..

Found it! Okay.. Hall 2.. Hall 2.. Where are you...???

The map I found has labellings.. I got this fr the NTU website..

Here it is - Hall 2..

The green colour buildings in the circle..

Yeah! Was my initial reaction.. I got a hall which is centralised and has a canteen! Not hall 7! I was told that Hall 7 is the nearest to my school but one of the worst halls coz no canteen and right in the corner..

So, ya, i was happy to get Hall 2 ;p

And I got the cheapest rate - SGD 155.. Hehe *all smiles..*

Melveen said we got old halls and he was kinda sad. Ah, it's ok.. I don't mind.. Hehe.. Coz then onli I realised that new halls have different rates - SGD 160..
Haha, so I'm cool with Hall 2~

Then...

Melveen asked me how's my bathroom.. Is it shared...

I completely forgotten about tat.. Oh no, ken cheong again...

OMG! It is indeed shared!

I have to clean my own bathroom and buy my own toilet paper! *cry!!*

When my parents heard of that, they said they prefered me to have shared bathrooms - more convenient and have more privacy..

Well, ya...

But I guess there are pros and cons..

Anyway, I'm happy I got Hall 2!

Rambling.. Rambling..

I can't get myself away from Facebook. Yi Phing and I took up farming (2 in fact) and boy were we lame. We kept adding bugs and weeds to each other's plantations and den debug and deweed (i don't think this word exists ;p) our plants. Haha..
Then, I got stuck at Restaurant City. It's lame too in a way coz I'll just stare at the little Joyce, Tan, Tee-Ni, Ng and Erin (feels weird, haha!) cooking, serving food, cleaning the dishes and also the toilets! (latest addition)
But somehow I'm bored and that's what I've been doing.. Laid off Facebook games such as Wakawaka, Bejeweled and even Zuma.

I'm in a dilemma due to my inner desire to blast my speakers, which are connected to my dekstop and play those lame but i-love-it FB games on my laptop.
Due to the undeniable fact that my internet connection would ever so gladly disconnect on my dekstop each time I start playing the FB games, I actually.. erm.. on BOTH!
Haha! My dad's gonna kill me.. But I don't do that often of course..
Only when im emo, I'll need music desperately (and loud) and things to distract me and hopefully lift my mood..
Sounds really like I'd need a mental diagnosis eh? No worries, I can proudly diagnosed myself as enigmatic, emo, essentric! Haha, 3 e's.. And my name begins with 'e' too! Wahaha..

Maybe being Leo plays a part though I doubt it applies for all Leo's.. But I'd really want to and believe that's the major contribution to my unstableness.. Haha..

Gosh, I'm left with only what, erm, 12 days! Before I leave my much loved Taiping and home! Not forgetting my parents.. And friends.. I'm falling into depression yet again! Oh, no, I need to pull myself back or else it'll suck me just like what quicksand does..
The more I struggle, the further I'll sink.. And I am sinking.. So what the heck!

Tomorrow I'll know the outcome of my hostel application in NTU..
I only hope I'll get a trouble-free roomate.. One who will not give me any problems or trouble..
My demands aren't high right.. So, pls, god, Buddha, and Kuan Yin help me get one nice roomate..
Of course, it'll be awesome to get one nice, warm, 'ngam' roomate.. But again, that's not priority, so pls grant my wish!

I'm getting more and more afraid each day.. What a useless Leo! I hope I have more courage..
More confidence.. So that I need not worry about petty things and get myself all emo..
Crap, I actually have loads to do but here I am, looking at the computer screen again..
I need to pack, wash my shoes, etc.. But I'm not doing them!
I suck at these.. Suck at organising.. I'm such a whimp..

Okay, okay, butts off the seat now! Urgh! Bless me, so that I'm really getting off for sure.. >.<

A hole in the defence

Self-control is what makes all the difference in human,
While some uphold their principles in life, some succumb to their desires,
There are some who unwillingly and miserably let their emotions cloud their rationalism.

Why is it so hard to not do something you do not wish to?
Something you hate.. Something you despise..
It has been a long journey searching for the answer to the seemingly impossible question.
Yet, where did it lead to?
A bleak, cold, lonely and confined space,
Filled with nothing but emptiness..

Losing control over ones mind and emotions,
Allowing frustration and stress to take the wheel,
Allowing oneself to stoop so low till it is unbearable to face the mirror,
Let alone face the world..

How strange is it to break down at the snap of a finger
When one can handle physical pain effortlessly, but fail to deal with frustration..

Losing self-control has created an ugly creature,
One who loses rationalism and shiver in anger,
Using all ones strength to push back the drops,
Pushing one to the utmost limits of endurance..

When the barrier finally broke,
What an ugly sight it creates,
Everything around turns blue,
And music is in great need..

Lips pursed tightly, Silence befalls..

DISASTER!!

Last night.. or should I say early this morning..
Before 2am, I decided to go to bed, but...
I 'tangan gatal'.. Took my hp n play..
Tried to set pin number to my sim card..
Ended up..
Locking it!!
"SHITTTT!!!!!!!!
What am I suppose to do??
Oh, no.. Die, die, die, die.."
Those were the words running through my mind immediately..

I can't excess it at all..
Need to key in a stup code called PUK number..
which can only be found through the operator..
At 2am?? Heck..

I was reluctant to tell my mum to bring me to the maxis centre to settle it..
And it was way too long.. I can't sleep as long as this problem is not resolved!
"Think, think, think.."
"INTERNET!"
Got up, flicked the lights on, switched on my laptop and started searching for solutions..
Hotline number.. - 24 hours!
Perfect!
Hang on.. I ain't have my hp to make d call..
If only my two other numbers are still 'alive'..

House phone - no longer have the one outside my room..
Downstairs house phone? Nope, dad still awake..
Mum's hp! Sneaked down and tip toed to her hp n made the call in my room..
Yaya, I know, you must be thinking "What's the big deal?" - Why the heck can't I tell my parents..
Pride! I mean, seriously it sounds so stupid to lock your OWN sim card..
And I don't wana trouble them to go all the way to Maxis Centre..

Okie, back to the calling part. 1 300 820 120..
Told the guy my problem and he ask for my hp number..
Gave him..
Asked for my full name..
Gave him as well..
"Okay, Miss Erin, actually there's no problem for me to provide you the PUK number."
Okay.. Just give me then!
"But our system is currently down."
HECK!
"I can only give you the PUK after 4am."
FINE...........

Slept back and set 6am alarm - I wana get it done so it won't bother me, I tak tenteram le..
Hp is rather important you see.. It's the same for everyone, isn't it..!!??
So, I woke up unstably at 6.30am, I think.. Ya, half an hour after my alarm - snoozed it as usual, but without me realising..
At least I woke up! Of course, I had to get this done..
Drank some water and tried my voice to hear if I sound okay..
Whenever I just wake up, my voice gives me away.. It's like I'm telling you "I just woke up.."

Okay, called again. A girl answered..
She asked more questions such as IC no., address..
Then, at last..
She gave me the damn PUK number!
Finally unblocked my sim card and changed my pin number, while she's still on the line.. In case, this crap thing creates another problem for me.

I couldn't really sleep after that..
So, when I woke up at 11.30am - mum woke me up - I felt terrible..
Of course she didn't know.. And she woke me up coz I was suppose to go out at 12.30pm.. Thank god, plans cancelled..

I lay on the floor the whole afternoon, watching tv while trying to feel better..

It was a long long time since I last sleep, wake up and slept back..
Unlike last time when I always woke up in the middle of the night to watch Champions League and went to school after that..

How did I do that?? Entah la..

After having fried eggs with potato and onion at around 5pm, haha!
I was rejuvenated! Ish.. Should have cooked that earlier!
What a day.. I swear I won't simply press on anything anymore!

VISITING PN.CHUAH & PN.TOH..

Yesterday, Hazell, Sulin, Yi Phing and I materialised our planned visit to Pn.Chuah and Pn.Toh's houses.

Visiting Pn.Chuah's house first at 3pm, we were welcomed with drinks, kacang and even biscuits. Haha, Pn.Chuah kept telling us to EAT..
It was nice to see her outside of school although she is still very much the same excited Pn.Chuah.. Haha..
Yi Phing and I have actually saw and talked to her, erm i duno, mayb 2-3 times in the past week or so, prior to visiting her but it was the first for Hazell and Sulin after years I think.
I'm glad we made it to her house where we talked about lotsa things and got to know her better.

Her house is like a layer cake - where there are 3 different levels. Pity her, she has to climb so many flights of stairs each day.. Not forgetting those in school..
Thank god we bought her biscuits - Tau Sa Pia (I think), as buah tangan coz she gave us angpau, wishing us luck for our studies..
How nice of her..

At around 4.45pm, we proceded to Pn.Toh's house which is just on top of the Lake View hill from Pn.Chuah's which is nearer to the foot of the hill.
We were 15 minutes late.. Oops.. Hehe..
We have to praise Sulin for her 'Oh, nothing. I choked.' Lol.. Sulin, you have talent and your antena's slightly longer. Congrats! =p

I hopped back into YP's car and Hazell went in Sulin's, where she guided us to Pn.Toh's house.
Sulin! You don't put your signals on! YP and I were wondering if we have reached d anot when you stopped outside Pn.Toh's house. Haha..
And YP got honned by the car behind.. Lol..

Pn.Toh's house is simply WOW. It is so big and beautiful. All credits to her for maintaining the house in such fine conditions.
She admits she is a very busy woman although she has quit teaching. With 3 kids and such a house to manage, she really is busy. What more, she's giving tuition now too.
The students are so so lucky to have her as her tuition teacher coz she's the best teacher I've had! It'll be wasted if she totally quit teaching Addmath.. =)

It was my first time eating dragon fruit jelly! It looks nice and taste nice. Jelly outa dragon fruit - great idea..

Then, Pn.Toh wanted to take a pic with us and we did. Her daughter took for us.

Only then, we realised we didn't take one with Pn.Chuah!
Pn.Toh told us to bring Pn.Chuah here so that we could all take a pic together.
Oh boy, it was so hard to persuade Pn.Chuah. It took two of us to talk to her through the phone.
YP's really good - it was like a scene where she persuades her patient to take their medication! Haha..
So, I went with YP to fetch Pn.Chuah and we took a 'family' photo!



Sweet.. Yesterday was real sweet.. At least we met with our dear Form 4 teachers, who both left at the end of our Form 4, before embarking on our university journey.

I owe my foundation in Math to both of them!
Thank you, Pn.Chuah!
Thank you, Pn.Toh!
We'll never forget you and hope to meet you again in the near future..
