an update

UPDATE IS CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS... PLEASE WAIT...



























Ok... it is just a trick to cheat people like you and me.. hahaaa... Life at poly is very different from secondary schools.. that is all i can say... haha..

Fact no. 1: E-portal This thingy is very frustrating loz :( The notes are all there and i need to download it myself. Nevermind about that. The worst is finding PRINTING solutions. How to print the notes? I need to find places to print the stuff and there are lots of them. I do not know if this problem exists in sP...

Fact no. 2 : big campus. I hate big campuses which need me to run around like freaks to lecture halls. Then i was late for wed's eL lecture (WCOM) because of the rain and the bus and the vast area of NP! School of engineering is so big and i had go to a lecture hall located there... IT looks like school of bA is the best, and the easiest to locate.. lol

Fact no. 3: PROJECTS PROJECTS and more!!! There are lots of projects that are incoming... Every subject has a project! I am taking like 6 modules and each 1 has a project... :S It is not that i do not like projects, but i find it far too much...

I am joining hockey for ccA :) yesterday i tried joining... but they say i need to have shorts. Then i join next week... Wait till 6pm for ccA to start =X

Ok thats all. loz.. just had a game of pool with good old sean. He won Three matches.... Then it was fun to play loz... Hmmm... :D Next week tutorials will start and i will get busy... hmnmmm...

bA oc 05

Well, this event is quite a meaningful and it lasted a freaking 3 days, from 18th May to 20th May. It was like quite funny as the term used during the camp is funny. This year's theme is Colours of the World and there are a lot of countries which are so called the groups. We are like taking an aeroplane to bA land. So there are things like inflight entertainment of the first day, and ice breaking. It is also called the embarkment :)

ok.. folks frm unknown land will not understand what i am talking... HAHA! Firstly...

1. bA stands for School of Business and Accountancy =)
bA courses include: BS Business Studies, Acc Accountancy, BF Banking & financial service and BiT Business IT.

2. so bA oc stands for Business and Accountancy Orientation Convention 2005

3. It is a convention for BA frehies like us... LOL

Day 1: The embarkment
some games and stuff. Sat at the convention hall to watch some performances. NICE! Esp the song composing club folks. Magnum Force performed better this time. Had some ice breaking games at the hALL. the hall was nicely decorated with all the respective countries! GREAT!

Day 2: The transit
we had some mass games and some run around the sch... well... it resembled the one i had at bA camp. Its tiring!!!
Later we went to the convention hall to hear a talk on Enterprising and Innovtion.. or sth like tt? Hmmmm

Day 3: The destination
Had concert performance. the search or mr. and ms bA. Sat cross legged from 3pm to 6pm. Legs felt rotten. Well... the events and performances were marvellous. Passionate spain was great; so as enterprising usa...

Well... tts abt it then...

last day of work at T-est

Today is my last day there.

Yes.

Finally, i am not working and going back to school life again.

T-est brought me lots and lots of good memories. It was like in the past, when i just stepped into the company, the work there is soooo slacky.

And now? Work there is getting challenging and i am always feeling very tired after work. I tap my card always later than 10.30pm for something like 3-4 days as my work used up so much time that i could not finish it on time =(

Well, the work load I wouldn't mind. But the staff shuffles are making life at T-est not as great as in the past *hint*

Haha. I was "santa" for the night when i gave out the gifts to the aunties. This gift was packed by peising. I contributed the sweets.

Well, the touching parts came in at 10pm onwards. It was like Yue hua was getting so emotional that she cried. The aunties began to drip tears too. I was sooooooooooooooooooooo touched. Karen hugged me. She was so sad. I was so dazed. Park mui, len tei, and rena auntie were avoiding eye contact with me. It was like i saw their tears! I never expected that my colleagues would get so emotional. I was soooo sad too. Haix.. Yue hua was saying - Don't leave lah! Don't leave lah! I was thinking: i cannot drag any more. i got bAoc 05 for three days. School is starting very soon.

Michelle was also all teary. Peising was teary too. Most of the folks can't bear to see us go. During work, i always taught the aunties. I helped them to my best knowledge. During oTs i talked to the aunties. The aunties learnt a lot lot things from as i was very familiar with my job. All thanks to who? Yue Hua, my senior, my mentor, my teacher. I will always remember!

Well, working life at different places exposed to me the different kind of job's responsibilities, and speciality and stuff. Since the O's i worked at so many places. I trailed a hard route to find the job that is one of the most highly paid and i enjoyed it as i developed the bonds with he people. T-est will leave a deep memory in my mind.

Well, if any t-est folk is reading my blog - take care ok? HAHA... i hope that life at t-est will get better everyday.

*to cindy* I miss channel zhang jian!!!!

I have been planning for this outing, as early as late april 2005. I was discussing with a group of people asking for opinions on a outing that could be organised. I discussed with Chuan and he suggested West Coast Park. However, after discussion with a whole lot of people and the arrangements for dates, Sentosa was the final decision.

Well, the list was something like 20 people going. However, more began to tell me they could not make it. Some folks told me the day before, who have me "chilling" sensation and disappointments. So what was the final results? 9 people (including me) went for the outing. with a smaller group of people. It may be a blessing in disguise.

convention day

Well today was a okay day. Peising, Michelle, Ivan and i went to Ngee Ann Poly together as a group. Haha - all T-est staff/ex staff. Saw some girls from early childhood =P LOL

Then it was quite formal initially with the principal talking and stuff. When it came to the CCA performance, everybody was heading the toilet. I was thinking: Why must they want to go to the washroom when the performance is on? Hmmmm.

There was this harmonica group that was special. The old man was rambling to us the different pitch and chords in a harmonica until most of us got bored. Then it was like he began to play a proper tune and it sounded so nice! :):)

Another is that np's dance group has so many groups in the category - dance. Their performances were great!

The cheer leading CCA group was screaming excitedly when they arrived. However, i somehow felt it fake (no offence ah) I really dont know how i got this feeling. It just felt unnatural. The dance steps were okay, but some stack ups pyramid was not so successful. However, i applaud them for their effort. =)

There was CCA fair and refreshments. We did not go to the CCA fair. LOL

We accompanied Peising to Student Services Centre to ask about the laptop matters. Peising got the intention of renting a laptop instead of buying 1.

Later, we went to atrium's student services. We went to the toilet. Later, i printed my time table and the modules i have taken .

:P

I was wearing yellow that day and it attracted a lot of attention. i sat that place got video camera lozx. Then they flash the scene around the hall sometimes. Since the hall was dark, my yellow shirt seem to be surprisingly bright. HAHA. Some people could see me very well... lol

We went to my working place's canteen and ate western food. NICE! We went back to work then. - We took half day leave...

new hair

my hair is back to jetblack! Hahax... my hair was too long for my liking.. Then i went to cut it yesterday. Now, it is nice and short. Well I don know it is nice a not. But i know that it is cooler for me. the weather has been hot these days and i need a trim of my hair badly. =)

t-est basic printer test + bA freshman camp

ok..i am reporting about these two events from 3 to 6 may... lolx These report will be according to their dates accordingly that happened :)

bA freshman camp day 03

Well, i did not sleep much that night!!! i sleeped from 5.30 am onwards? I woke up at 6.45am... still feeling very dizzy.

We were playing the game "secret code." It involves the person setting a code number from 1 to 99. Then each one of us guess the number. Poor Gee Thong and Brendan were punished 3 times! Same goes with Rebecca loz.. LOL! Haha... Then We punished them by doing weird stuff. Like being lame by singing GP GP to another group of people Then one is carrying the dustbin to the centre of the exam hall and kneeling to it and say "Will you marry me?" HAHA... It is so damn funny. Other punishment to be like playing with the sleeping jerry... hehe. or asking a girl: Do you want to dance with me? A mean punishment is to wake up a sleeping girl. She was covered herself with a towel. Then Fahana flipped open the towel. She woke up. Then Fahana asked her: are you feeling hot? Wah... i was laughing like crazy.. it was soooooooooo funny! AhaHah......

Later, we went to downstairs to get a drink. When we went back, we were rotting around until Ernest, a GL joined us. He told us the life of a poly student and then we just kept talking some were so tired hat they fell asleep. Gee thong has some marker marks on his face and hands. HAHA.. Ernest draw on him de. Then I told them the story of ping pong balls until everyone was almost asleep. Then i asked: wht ping pong balls are so popular nowadays? LOL. It was like Erika, another GL same team de laughed like crazy.

The morning ah.. we were having auction. We earned points for the activities we participated. Our group got something like 3rd /4th position. =) Top 5 out of 12 groups. Haha. then we joined forces with Blue Ocean=) Then we shared our sweets and things we got for the auction for the points - so fun! haha....

next:
HOME SWEET HOME! =) took some photographs. Very fun!!!!

bA freshman camp day 02

THat day was the amazing race and campfire.

Amazing race: I was in the same team with jerry. We had to communicate via sms to the HQ to guess the clue given to us. The first clue - we were so stumbled by it that many group leaders could not find the correct answers. The fire hydrants and Krismis and Toh Yi road is difficult to determine. There was an only group that managed to go through the task smoothly. The next stop was bukit batok. We went to some multi-storey carpark at sean's house there. We did not even go to the carpark to see the real thing. Another group's group leader told jerry the answer. Immediately, we opened the next clue and we went to Turf City's Giant to find out the prices of breads, coffees, milos. We managed to get it correct :)

The game was challenging as the task to do on the location we were asked to go was in an e-mail. Then phones usually cannot access e-mails. We have to reply on connections to get the e-mails checked and knowing the tasks- what to do.

The next place was MacRichie reservoir and this was where we had our lunch- duck rice.

We made the gateway to our next destination - Hereen at Orchard. Then we got lost there. the task was very complicated and it has a attachment of a powerpoint presentation. We used the computers at library@orchard to print out the task information. We got a clearer picture what we were supposed to do. There were some distances and directions to be followed to get the correct answers. We coould not find the correct answers. it was until some other GL called jerry and told the answers :). We were already in Orchard MRT, hiding for rain! We quickly rushed to City Hall - last mission. We were supposed to find out the fountain's name. And we were to go to Padang. But Jerry thought it was at the war memorial park. We ran there to find out. It was raining quite heavily loz. Then when we came back, we were dripping wet. We managed to get the answers correct through connections.

We took Mrt back to np by stopping at dover. I met mel :D long time nv see her le. lol

We got something like top 5 for this race? LOL. All thanks to chiongster Jerry! heheee


Next was the campfire. They did not have a real one, but it was fun. We sang, we cheered, we performed. each group has a skit or dance. Ours - we chose snow green and seven jokers. It is a twist of the real story of the real one. I was acting as prince charming. I had to wear a wig and some gown...lol. then the wig was some curly hair and it looked simply weird. I was supposed to give snow green a tight slap to wake her up from her sleep... What a anti-climax eh? Haha

too tired to continue.. tml then continue
continuation
ok.. the campfire also got dance - friendship dance. As we walk to the right... as we walk to the left, as we walk... as we walk... as we walk all night... with the tip of the toe and a half turn around... here we go and a new friend found! :) It was such a nice game. We just kept spinnig around loz.. then when is got faster, it was very exciting! hahazzz

before the campfire got nightwalk - fun :) Blindfolded and stuff....

bA freshman camp day 01

i managed to drag myself to the camp although i was feeling sick with flu and cough. LOL

The camp was very nice, and it left me with lots of memories. We assembled at 8.45am. I was still old and sleepy. We procceeded with the cheers and stuff... Everybody were feeling very blur... Green Pasture did very badly for the cheers loz... Then out of the the four guys - me, gee thong, brendan and Ian, Gee thong was half asleep... hahaz...

We created our own flag; it did not get a lot of people's attention... We did mediocrely.

My GL - Jerry is a very interesting guy. i have not seen a chiongster like him loz.. haha.. chiong all the way. We played games by going all over the school woth the stations allocated. There were games that were very innovative like walking on chairs and collect baloons. Then move to the basket. It is a competition between the groups. The the plastic cup water pouring game was great too. Had lots of fun. Jerry was chionging like crazy and we had to run together with him.

Lunch - Nasi lemak - not a good choice, not exactly that nice either...

Night - Scavenger hunt. Memorable. Jerry was smart enough to take photographs of the real things. He also go and ask his frends to send mms over. *intelligent*!
Some funny stuff to find from the school -
1. waterside condo
2. 3G Phone
3. white hair strands

Sleeping time - supper... not bad la- just milo and biscuits. I did not really sleep, but manged to sleep from 2am to 6am... lol

BPT

Lol.. Had my Basic Printer test... It was ok but i made some mistakes...

I did not expect that even we are leaving the company, we were expected to take the test. It is easy for the theory part. But for the practical, i did quite ok, but made mistakes :( Haix.

get-together

Yesterday was quite interesting loz. Mum, my brother and I met my aunts and cousins at the temple for my grandmother's (maternal) 8th death aniversary.

Well.. sounds quite solumn eh? It was.

After all the prayings and stuff, we went to Bugis Junction's Siam Kitchen for lunch. In fact, my auntie wanted to go to Pu Tien again de.. but my cousin's husband suggested somewhere loz..

The food was good. It was great. Buffet-ala carte style. We opted for free flow of drinks- Ice lemon tea. The desserts were not included; we ordered them on our own. 14 dishes of foods were there for us to choose from and eat from.

Since we (mum and I, my kor left earlier) had nothing on, we sort of tagged along with my aunt to roam around Bugis Junction. My aunite was not feeling so good loz. The air-con was stuffy and my auntie was feeling slightly dizzy. We went to basement to get some drinks. Then, aunt, mum and i sat there and chatted loz. Quite a nice chat :)

My cousin came back from her shopping and joined us. We went back to the car and took them to another car. My cousin - the other one is going home.

My cousin suggested to to bugis for some manicure. I also tagged around and went to look at stuff. Bought a chain with the pendant containing a symbol of the yacht at $6. Quite liked it. I also saw a vespa bag. I told Daus about it... hahaaa.

Now my mum has some flowers on her nails! :P lol.

Then aunt, mum and i went to a cafe at Bugis called Bugis Cafe. It is located upstairs and the aircon is really nice. The weather has been very hot these days! We chilled out there and ordered some drinks and food. Everything there was half priced. :D Yay. Food and Beverages were good and it is cheap too....

Later, we took my cousin's car to Chinatown. She was the one who got married recently this year. Her driving skills are good! Meanwhile, my aunt passed us the family portrait photos she took in a studio. Very nicely taken! My cousins and uncle were in their best.

I was thinking if my family could have this kind of photographing session. Very formal and it's nice to have it on one of our house's walls... So i am asking blogger readers here... Do you have such family protrait taking done? Hmmm... I think it is quite nice loz.. haha...

Then we accompanied my aunt to the travel agencies as my uncle and family are going on a China tour loz... My uncle seems to be very expert in choosing tour packages loz. He asked lots of questions that were very specific and good.

That's all for the get-together. Mum and i went to buy some good food called dieh cah dang. We aslo bought some fried dumplings and kueh before we headed for home, taking bus 197...

It was tiring, but also memorable too :) :)
