das referatsskizze.. kein spaß...
feeling a little groggy now.. been working on das referatsskizze.. crap, it's a heck load of work.. maybe should have listened to weiyao and start working on it since friday evening... thank God for eufo.. she did the part on the entire distillation process, which is the main focus of the referat, which is in about 3 weeks time..
anyway, i realised that i've forgotten bulks of my biology knowledge.. not exactly a good thing though.. and i'm so tired.. yawn!!! oh, before i forget, miss tan finally updated her blog!!! yeah, i was about to believe that she has vaporised but nope, she posted on her blog and replied to my comment... *laughs*... i really miss her though.. one of the sane people in this insane world of mine...

thumbs-up program & another birthday party..
woke up at what i deemed as an unearthly hour of 0630hr to go for this program at huayi secondary school.. yeah, felt pretty old there, esp. since there were facilitators which are from other sec. schs as well.. and the class which i was attached to comprised of sec. 1... the last bunch of sec. 1 which i saw and had contact with, are presently sec. 3 students... sheesh.. time flies...
a pretty fun bunch of kids that i was attached to.. chee peng came late and freaked the heck out of me coz i knew absolutely no one there.. despite me being pretty sociable, apprehensive is still present.. thank God for approachable facilitators.. but was there more as an observer than a facilitator... but i had loads of fun.. valid reason to account for the fact that i skipped pdc make-up lecture!!! *laughs*...
the program ran was actually on something which i've done many years ago.. that which brought back some memories.. pieces which i prefer to remember and pieces which i prefer to forget.. anyway, it was the D-I-S-C personality/ working style test.. yeah, did that test back in upper sec..
anyway, back then.. in descending order, here's my result: C-S-D-I
and now, in descending order, here's my result: C-I-D-S
hmm... it's not shocking, considering how much i've changed since sec. sch days... but just surprised that my S-component is pretty low now.. guess that i've just became more reckless and less stable.. more loud and less quiet... but i still do stupid things like, read the non-smoking sign in the lift while in the lift, [which is a typical trait of C-component]... and am so loud that i can be heard from a distance of more than 10 miles away, [which is typical of I-component]...
just wondering how i've changed over the years and pondering if it has been for the better or worse.. but given me a choice, i would rather be the person i am today...i will miss the stability that i once had but that does not mean that i do not have it now.. rather i have that extra thread of recklessness and loudness in me.. yeah, pak wing said he can hear me 10 miles away... so word of advice: run when you see me around, just in case i embarrass you.. just kidding.. i'm not so evil..
oh.. just an interesting observation: everyone thinks that i'm a teacher!!! oh sheesh!!! the 'cher' thing is a long-ago issue yah!!! humph!!! and once again, everyone was shocked to learn that i'm from the faculty of engineering... well, unbelieveable but it's true!!!
came home at about 3 plus to have lunch and to hitch a ride from my parents.. gave the family gathering a miss again.. for theresia's 21st birthday party!!! happy birthday!!! yeah.. and my so-called shopping trip was unfortunately cut short by rhys.. humph!!! like i said, shopping is a form of meeting civilisation for an engineer-wannabe!!! *laughs*... met many people whom i've not seen for a really long time, such as sunny/ andrew/ jooteng... it was great seeing them all.. and had such a great time catching up with alexis too...
oh yes, for once, the guys ain't talking about ns anymore!!! well, since some of them have already ord-ed... and are getting ready for uni-life.. yeah yeah!!! welcome to uni man!!! sunny and jooteng were discussing which hall to stay in.. or to rent an off-campus apartment.. it's just so weird.. hearing all these uni-stuff from them.. give it one semester, and they will forget the gals here man... wait, maybe even faster than a semester.. hicks... oh yah, sunny's gonna join the nus-family in the faculty of arts and social sciences.. cool!!! go rock nus dude!!!
oh yes, received a phone call from someone whom i've not seen for a really really long time and it was really great to hear from him.. yeah, got a call from my really-really-long-time-'brother', justin!!!! he is accepted by both the university of toronto & university of waterloo in canada.. dumb that nus rejected him.. but who cares.. go overseas!!! the experience earned will overwrite everything else.. and to add to that, he received some MVP award from microsoft.. erm, don't ask me what's that about.. but it's really cool!!! oh man!!!
before i forget, i got my mp3 player working.. pretty cool.. love it loads..

nichole nordeman - why
We rode into town the other day,
just me and my daddy.
he said I'd finally reached that age,
and I could ride next to him on a horse
that of course, was not quite as wild.
We heard a crowd of people shouting,
and so we stopped to find out why.
There was that man that my dad said he loved,
but today there was fear in his eyes.
So I said, "Daddy, why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why is He dressed in that bright purple robe?
I bet that crown hurts Him more than He shows.
Daddy please, can't you do something?
He looks as though He's gonna cry.
You said He was stronger than all of those guys;
Daddy, please tell me why.
Why does everyone want Him to die?"
Later that day, the sky grew cloudy,
and Daddy said I should go inside.
Somehow he knew things would get stormy.
Boy was he right, but I could not keep from wondering
if there was something he had to hide.
So after he left, I had to find out.
I was not afraid of getting lost.
So I followed the crowds to a hill
where I knew men had been killed,
and I heard a voice come from the cross.
And it said, "Father, why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why are they casting their lots for my robe?
This crown of thorns hurts me more than it shows.
Father please, can't you do something?
I know that You must hear my cry.
I thought I could handle a cross of this size.
Father, remind me why.
Why does everyone want me to die?
Oh, when will I understand why?"
My precious son, I hear them screaming.
I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming.
But soon I will clothe you in robes of my own.
Jesus, this hurts me much more than you know,
but this dark hour, I must do nothing,
though I've heard your unbearable cry.
The power in your blood destroys all of the lies;
soon you'll see past their unmerciful eyes.
Look, there below, see the child
trembling by her father's side.
Now I can tell you why... she is why you must die.
just me and my daddy.

we have moved!!!
and yes we did!! we finally did.. K.I.D.S CHURCH - kids in divine service.. has finally moved from the ground level of green pastures to the 2nd level!!! with air-con and storage cupboards, which will really help us save the extra work of moving stuff every 3rd sunday of the month..
yeah, though i've not been exactly taking a big role in KC recently, but i just really love KC every month.. like i've said before, i really wonder if i've been blessed more than been blessing the kids.. yeah, i feel like a kid.. doing all those kiddy actions with the action songs and shouting at the top of my voice, attempting to sing during praise and worship.. then trying to ra-ra up the kids for games.. and for once, i felt a strain to my voice.. our voices are too enclosed in the new place, so we can't exactly hear ourselves and really had to shout...
anyway, watched lord of the rings - the fellowship of the ring again.. part 2 is aired tomorrow.. reminded me of those folks whom i first watched it with.. with rhys trying to explain the whole story to me, coz i watched the two towers before watching the fellowship of the ring on vcd at biaoda's house.. steph and jooteng were there too.. remembered that we had to ban rhys from eating the pizza first, though he was really hungry.. *laughs*.. else there would be nothing left for the rest of us..
and right before the last installment - the return of the king, came to the big screen, was having revision session with adeline at her place.. we watched from 3 plus till 10 plus in the night.. to add to that, we were watching the extended versions of both!!! and when mrs fong opened the door, we were spooked coz we switched off the lights in her room and had the dvd-vcd player turned to max. volume.. yeah.. kinda miss her and haven't seen her for so long.. and guess it just feels a little distant.. oh wells..
just visited alwyn's blog.. saw all the wonderful and brilliant photos taken during his cycling trip.. reminds me of what luke will do too.. go cycling, together with his slr.. taking photos along the way.. guess that's what a lot of us will like to do.. i will want to do that too but i can't cycle and all i can do is, walk.. but given singapore's weather, spare me please.. yeah, i can sweat like crap just by walking to nus... sheesh!!!

finally!!! i've seen civilisation.. and i'm attempting to have a life man!! been working on my human geog project and finally it's OVER!! i'm so more than relieved when it was officially completed.. quite an adventure doing the project.. and i hope it will be fine... been stuck in the school library for the past 3 days of my life.. just for the pdc test this morning, which was an ultimate disaster... so much for sleeping on average 4.5 hours per day and falling asleep during lectures...
so... maybe it was good that i went for ben cheah's birthday yesterday!! oh man, though ben did not answer my calls so i had to call rhys, in order to contact ben.. and though i had to figure out how to get to his estate.. but poor ben was getting stone-drunk by his ns friends, afterwhich he got thrown into the pool.. weird bunch of people though.. well, at least he got to cut his cake, unlike ken.. oh wells, i'm just glad that i went for it.. missed the folks so much.. haven't seen some of them for more than 3 months!! sheesh!! see what nus has done to me... oh, ben, happy 21st birthday!!! =)
muendliche probepruefung was an ultimate disaster.. sheesh, to think that the real thing is next wednesday!!! panick state again!!!
met a friend, whom i have not seen for quite some time and to think that i'll get to meet him man!!! anyway, met haoyi and his girlfriend, laura, when i was walking to coronation road to take public transport to orchard.. in the end, they gave me a ride to newton mrt.. anyway, this charismatic dude has matriculated into smu, together with lionel, lloyd, sunny, edmund, ben chia, andrew and whoever else.. goodness, sounds like another acjc community populating the campus... but then again, sunny, lloyd and him, all can't exactly make up their minds if they wanna stay here or go over to the states to study.. oh wells, whatever the decision is, guys, have loads of fun wherever you are!!!
anyway, spent the evening with kelvin li, dwi & juline.. watched the best movie i've watched so far for the year 2005..
haven't laughed so hard and so much for a very long time.. but the movie was good.. at least i could understand it better.. well, there's an ending.. and there are some truths in the story.. about guys, girls, love, relationship... but then again, like i was telling dwi, movies usually just show the surface of the whole situation.. may be a world of difference in reality... arpan said this movie is suitable as a 'date' movie.. so to all my guy friends out there, go bring your girlfriends to watch this movie, if you have not already done so...
i was just thinking that if i were to watch this movie with the rag comm ppl, guess we would dominate the theatre with our laughters, considering that we can go on laughing for an hour non-stop.. yeah, miss those folks too...
by the way, did i mention that i'm pretty good at reading some people's body action?? jawohl!! i am.. *laughs*.. come ask me if you wanna know what i am talking about here.. coz i think i'll get killed if i do publicly announce the issues here.. anyway, nitya got my present!!! *phew*.. was so worried that i've sent it to the wrong address..
think i'm gonna go catch up on sleep.. there's american beauty on channel 5 but i've watched that movie before.. it was good!!! yeah, enjoyed it though the content was a little warped and disturbing..
anyway, before i go off to sleep.. 2 more announcements to make...
1. this charming-looking mp3 player above.. it's now mine.. and this is the exact colour which i've bought.. or rather i got my mum to go help me purchase it since i had school yesterday.. oh man, but don't exactly have the time now to check out on how to use it and all... my desktop is still not up and that's where all my songs are...
2. i bought a new pencil-case.. yunling was appalled when i told her that my maroon tropicana life one has lasted me for 4.25 years.. and now, it's this lila pencil case with netting.. yeah, i can even stuff my calculator inside... jawohl.. zu gross!!!
Life is not measured by the breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.

let her go and let her fly..
"Congratulations! You have been selected by the Faculty of Engineering for the student exchange programme [SEP] in academic year 2005/6. You have been assigned to the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg...."
so it's finally here... i finally got my approval letter.. but why am i still not contented?? that excitement, that joy, that anticipation... somehow has fizzled out.. maybe coz it's due to that extensive waiting period to hear from nus.. and now that i had, i still need to hear from TUHH, private joke from german class... somehow.. something in me just died out...
but i really want to go.. i want to run away.. away from nus, away from singapore.. away from everything back here... yes, i am irresponsible, i am reckless in doing so.. but i guess, i'm one that will stop at nothing to get what i want.. well-almost.. depending on what the issue is all about.. i just want to hide.. even if it means that i won't know anyone at all.. i just want to go to a place, where i can have all my freedom.. all the feeling of running free...
let me go and let me fly...

but guess what?? it's one of the most confusing stories i have ever watched.. the movie just made the whole world looked so messed up and everyone is just falling in love with each other, exchanging partners with each other, which is not a good thing.. i mean, erm.. oh wells.. yeah, lisa and me were expecting more.. like at least have a moral to the whole story?? coz there was none.. or maybe there was, but i just didn't realise it.. so nitya, please come and explain the story to me.. i'm kind of lost in it..
julia roberts is still that pretty but there's really a distinct difference between her and natalie portman, who is much younger.. yeah, the other side to queen amedelia.. natalie portman was good.. really.. just think that jude law is really charming.. but that's about it.. come to think of it, this movie is like an exhibition of pretty people.. hmm... a movie peppered with loads of explicits, particularly with one word which i have no affinity for... sheesh!!!
a busy week ahead.. don't exactly think i've enough time.. getting really stressed up over mündliche prüfung.. crap.. ben's having his 21st party on friday evening but i can't go.. AGAIN!!! coz of some stupid pdc mid-term test on saturday morning at 0830hour!!! crappified!!!
If you believe in love at first sight, you never stop looking.

well.. almost, till i realised that my desktop died on me again!!! argh!!! but just thankfully that i didn't switch on my desktop yesterday night, else i would spend the whole night fiddling with it and not study for my test.. so here i am, using my dad's notebook... thank God that i have 3 computers at home.. 2 of which belong to my dad.. unless i intend to take over one of them, but looks like, he has already configured everything on his new notebook.. hmm.. just upset that all my lab reports and projects stuff are in my desktop..
hmm.. you must be thinking why am i the queen??? coz my parents are part of the church old folks' ministry retreat organising committee, so they are now away in malaysia.. and me, am staying in sunny, boring singapore coz there's just too much to be done here.. but now that my desktop ist kaputt!!! fed up man!!!
this morning had cn2116 mid-term.. what a disaster.. doesn't exactly make much a difference even if i've studied for it.. just hope that it won't be like that of hmt last semester.. sigh!!! skipped lloyd's 21st birthday party to study for it.. hey dude, so sorry, i'll make it up to you okay?? hicks.. felt so stressed the whole of last week coz there were german and cn2116 test.. not that the coming week is gonna be any better, throw in 2 assignments, 1 project, 1 test and preparation for oral.. crap, feeling the heat man!!!
attempted pdc assignment with jianz, peijia & lisa.. but not even one question done, our brains were more than fried.. so the girls plus xingyi, decided to drop by mpsh and act-like incoming freshmen and joined in the open house madness.. quite boring though.. oh, we were so determined to get the lion stuff toy from the alumni booth, we just stood there, trying to learn about all the alumni members of nus.. *laughs*.. even people like jeanette aw, tay ping hui were part of it.. thought they would quiz us on more important people, esp those in politics... yeah, that bit was fun.. oh, believe this or not, the engineering booth had the biggest crowd!!! we were like, those people have lost their head in trying to apply to engin... just look at us.. *laughs*.. we told everyone who recognised us that we are gonna apply for a change of course!!!
oh yes, during the cca exhibition, the raffles hall spokeman was trying to convince the 4 of us to apply for hall.. well, indeed, hall life is a heck of an experience.. but nay.. staying just behind kent vale, and having been posted to ke7 before.. i'm contented with staying home though it will be nice to have a room to return to after classes have ended, rather than having to travel a really short distance to go home... oh yes, and i learnt that weiliang is taking part in his hall pageant!! woohoo!! go dude!!!
was telling lisa that, when we are no longer freshmen, attending such open houses and matric fair, we tend to push away everything that is offered to us.. maybe coz we have all aged and that excitement which we entered uni with, has already burnt off after being exposed to this environment for the past 2 years and 2 more to come..
back home now.. raining still.. not hungry yet, coz we were stuffing ourselves with pancakes.. and feeling so dehydrated after that.. gonna attempt to cook dinner later.. pray that i don't burn the kitchen down.. touch wood man!!!

urge to blog..
but it's dumb especially since when i'm supposed to be studying my german vocabulary and copying the cn2116 assignment.. so a short and sweet one before going back to copy something which i have no understanding about..
just finished typing some dumb 100-word essay.. not an essay but rather a passage.. i would rather kill myself.. i so cannot make it with words and grammer and all... but thank God for friends like charmaine and adeline, who have been faithfully correcting my writings and all since the year 2003, especially adeline.. well, the bad news is, i've another one of these writing stuff to do this coming weekend, so ade, opps!!! *trying to look innocent*
good time spent with yunling on sat evening.. this dear girl is gonna pursue what she like doing most: design!! next time, shall ask her for help and advice with design materials.. *laughs*.. okay, koksoon, don't come scolding me arh.. i'll be nice to her...
dropped my md headphones by accident and now the sound system is pretty off.. a little upset and was so determined to send them for repair works, till i learnt abt the charges... sheesh, i rather save up for a brand new mp3 player instead.. yeah, my wish-list item: the creative mvo player!!! either that, or i'll just settle for a new nokia phone.. since my N6510 is more than about to be gone..
loads are shooting through my brain and i'm trying to answer the question of 'why'... what is my alternate route?? what if i'm just going around in circles?? what happens if everything falls apart?? the price tags are just too many and too expensive... it's okay if you don't understand what i'm writing here.. *laughs*..

just a post before i go out..
currently listening to: micheal wong - tong hua
[yingchao said that this song is pathetic.. well almost coz the guy has to become an angel, in order to love the girl.. anyway, just think that the lyrics are really sweet.. kelvin li was like, you mean you girls dig into such songs!!! well, sometime it does not hurt to fantasise.. so, oh wells!!! *laughs*]
after battling with myself for the last 3 minutes of yesterday night, having done and undone what i did.. i chose not to s/u my subjects at all.. so, that's it.. 7 modules graded.. someone must have flown me to the moon and back and made me lost my head.. oh wells..
just finished collating mein vokabelprotokolllist.. 5 seiten!!! *faints*.. throw in cn2116 mid-term one week from today.. i'm gonna faint too.. stress stress stress.. guess that's what everyone is feeling now.. oh finished a little of the lab report, waiting for the chance to QC the report, before sending it to print.. i'm dreading next week's lab.. kendrick has done it already, and it's a terrible stack of 64 pages!!! *faints faints*...
oh, giving red blue gold a miss.. yeah, hopefully i did the right thing though.. maybe will meet the guys for supper or whatever.. till later!!!

boys do cry..
mit knappem abstand steht nus auf dem zweiten platz, direkt hinter ntu. ntu hat das ivp-basketballspiel 2004/2005 gewonnen. sehr sehr schade... nus hat sehr gut gespielt aber vielleicht war es nicht seiner spiel...
oh wells, if there's anything good that i learnt out of ranking, here it is.. anyway, was at the ivp basketball finals.. the guys played a really good game, but just guessed that it wasn't nus's game.. nus trailed ntu by only 2 points... oh wells.. but it was the spirit and drive that the guys had, which was really captivating..
the crowd, though not that much.. the spirit, the drive reminded me of days back in acjc.. where we cheered our hearts out, screamed our lungs out and unfortunately, sometimes, we made fun of our opponents too.. especially during rugby finals, when the whole school gets half-day off, comes down to police academy, stands under the hot evening sun for the next 2 hours to come.. watching the biggest sporting event for the acs family.. the excitement, the craze, the adrenaline rush when the players score.. it's just pure madness!! then it gets extremely chaotic when the final goal is scored and there will be a great diffusion of physical mass towards the centre of the field.. and the acs anthem does not sound like that of just another school song..
well, though i think i'll never understand how it feels to be building a float, to be a dancer for rag but being part of rag comm last year, it was more than enough.. witnessing the efforts of all the pbs, thinking how in the world did they come up with all those mechanism?? how in the world can old aluminium cans be reused.. the floats kind of redefine the meaning of recycling, just that everything goes into a sembcorp waste bin after months of efforts.. the heart, the hours, the sacrifice they made to make the float work.. though at the end of the day, the float has absolutely no relevance to the theme of each rag event.. it's always good vs. evil and good will always triumph.. right!! remember kianyaw said that when the tail of the scorpion dropped off from his hall float during mounting day, all of his hall's engineers were panicking for life.. and for the year 2005, mingui is one of the many who have returned to do rag all over again.. and i do admire you folks for taking up again..
hmm.. however minor these events may be, it's enough to make boys tear.. well, grown-up men included.. the heart, the efforts poured into the whole process.. it's as good as having rag/ rugby/ basketball and whatever else intergrated into their lives..

to s/u or not to s/u
home early for once.. don't ask me what are the reasons.. feeling not too good but this week is gonna be a more relaxed week since the mid-terms are already over till next week comes along.. but there's still work to do..
feeling headachey over the s/u options.. friends who said they won't s/u, have already s/u-ed their modules, leaving me a little confused.. coz i feel like using my head and bang my way through once again.. not sure if it's a good thing to do.. but i don't know.. should i s/u or not s/u?? without s/u, i'll be using my head to bang through 7 walls.. woohoo!! spannend!! *confused*
on a sidenote, saw a moth dived into a bowl of laksa this afternoon.. its wings got stained with the oil and could not fly any further.. traumatising!!
oh yes.. reminded by my friends.. happy founder's day too!!
