so many things!

This entry will be a condensation of the things happened these few days. :) So many things happened. It has been rather packed for me la. But I think it is very nice! Keeps me busy :)

1. Chalet

After our Business Statistics examinations, Glenn and I took Bus 74 to take MRT as we are going to Yeow Nam's area to buy food for our BBQ Chalet. Talked a lot with Glenn and realised he loved economics!!! OMG. The sibject i don't like much zzz. hahaha. But the weird thing happened was that enqing took the same train and went into the same cabin/area where we were sitting. What a coincidence. As he was talking to qian jun on the line, I was like wondering why this guy looked so familiar. Then i was like thinking it looked like enqing - maybe his brother? haha. It was HIM la. Then he was playing with his thumb drive and i was like =.=||||| so busy on the phone! With who? Qian jun lo... hehe.

hmm later then blog. cause lib closing le... hehehehehe

So it was like he was on the phone with the in love face on the phone lo. lol. We went to giant to buy some things lo. Later took bus to yeow nam de house. haha

From yeow nam's house there, we bought more bbq stuff and glenn left for home while me, jansen, and enqing went to eat at kfc. Personally, i think the O.R. burger by kfc is for small kids. hahah. i bought it and i regretted. LOL!

2. Volunteering workshop. 5/3- sunday

BA cares gave me an opportunity to experience training by some social workers and we chatted a lot about youth issues. The workshop was very enriching and quite fun too. We were like asked to do some lame events to freshen everybody. some where like making animal noises, singing songs and many more. So fun!!! hahaha.

After much discussion, i realised sth: as a volunteer, you cannot give yourself undue responsibilities. When you cannot promise sth to a person, you cannot bluff your way through. . When things get overblown, we might be overimplicated when we are involved in the thing.

I also tried to find ways to liase with other organisations- in this case - MWH :) The people were having this sports day and i am going to discuss with them. :)

3. Kbox -6/3

Had kbox with peising, michelle!! :) At first only peising only ar. LOL. Michelle came in lo. Sang a lot!!!! We sang from 2pm till 7pm. they all were so tired lo. lol. Later i went to ding tai feng to buy some food. Some xiao long bao and stuff. I ate some japanese food (yakitori balls and rice) and it was so yummy! :)

I just love k box. Although its a bit ex ar :)

4. meeting with chuan -7/3

Today we met up for this common goal- plan for a bbq. We had lunch at this japanese food place and had this tepanaki chicken with rice. So nice!!! liked it a lot:) Chuan and i had a hard time deciding wad food to eat.

Later, we went to giant to look at prices of food. Meanwhile, i went to hardware shops to look for a special 2pin plug. My 2pin plug is from USA as i recently bought it frm USA. Stupid usa! give me this ugly plug and cause me so much trouble. In the end, i bought it from some $1 from in Clementi. I was so jumpy after seeing the plug that fits!!!!

That was about it. Chuan and i chatted a lot ah. Anyway, our plan kept changing

Chalet > BBQ at WCP > Steamboat@ marina

I thought we could have a chalet as i had this $50 chalet coupon for a 2day 1night chalet. But it cannot be used during school holidays :( So sad! We hence wanted a BBQ. But for the BBQ, response was low and for more convnience, we agreed on steamboat@marina :) This process was not a short one and we we rather disappointed by many things as many people were not so interested. Haix... hahaa

Coming event tml: the steamboat@marina


5. work @ mediacorp

I went to school and saw mrs choo. Mrs choo v bad suah! Wanted to talk to her but she turned me down and i left the proposal with her lo. I wanted to lend the use of Kismis fields to MWH for their upcoming soccer tournaments with jamiah home and stuff. Such a disappointment for me~! i went to lib and did some net surfing. did some mail checking/replying...

Later, back @ mediacorp, when i reach the reception, i see wires hanging here and there. I thought the place on renovation!!! Then cannot go in le? No la. It was open, except it's on renovation. The place looked so different! LOL. Work was rather slacky. Finished work at 8plus when knockoff time was 10pm
hehe. :)

Sadly, some people forgot my bdae and i had to prompt.hahahaahaha! But nevermind, Its ok.

birthday and more...

its has been a few yrs since i last blogged properly and so many things happened.

1. taiwanese rotaractors' visit to singapore
2. back to work...
3. my birthday.

Part 1.

5 Ming Chuan Taiwanese girls came over to Singapore for an exchange trip in February.

Their names are Emma, Carol, Sarah, xiao er and Jamsine

It was quite an xperience as I had not been a host before. For this time, our seniors - Bernard was the main host who took them around Singapore and was the tour guide. They stayed here for about 7 days :)

The first day was they went to Ngee Ann Poly to have a look at our open house. I was on duty when the open house at the BA dept. I did not know it was them and I asked bernard in English where are they from. The girls looked at me as if i was talking a foriegn language :P I realised Taiwan's English is not that great ah.

The second day, i went to sentosa with them and took cable car. Wah... so long never take cable car already... what an experience! I went to sky tower with them, to the underwater world and cinemania. These girls are very friendly and its such a experience. It is my first time watcing a dophin show :) NICE! The dophins look so pink and cute. At the end of the show, the girls took pictures with the dophins. $13!!! So ex! HAHA. This is how sentosa gets it revenue to pay us. LOL. Later, we went to musical fountain to watch the show. I felt so weird as I was the audience rather than the worker. I was like telling the girls that I worked there and many colleagues called me when they saw me. :) But a lot of newbies! Some I never see them before... Sadly, it rained when we were waiting for the show to start. What a disappointment for the girls! When we decided to call off the show and go back main land, the rain stopped. I think heaven played a trick on us. LOL:) So we went back main land. as that day was REN RI, which means it is everybody's birthday, we went to China Square's Sushi Tei to Lou Hei and had dinner there. The food wasn't cheap :S. In a day, I spent $70. for sentosa and food. Wow.

The other days they went Little India, Chinatown, etc but I was not around. HAHA. Not free la. So i was there on the last day.

It was rather a pathetic day and I spent a lot of money. Haix :( firstly, I was working that day at media9corp, so i heard they got this chalet thingy. I took cab to raffles place from mediacorp there (mac richie reservoir) Cab price was ex. :( I think it was nearly $10? Then i took a weird loooking bus to changi airport. The bus was travelling at those ulu roads and i felt so uncomfortable. Finally, from airport, i took cab down to downtown east. By the time i reach there, it was like 1plus already =.=|||| the ride from airport was extremely expensive and i spent a bomb on it.

Lucky they did not paichi and we played games. At the truth/dare part, i did not participate as I began meddling with my lappy. gahahahaha.

We never slept much. so as the girls too. So we went to the beach to watch the sunrise. Emma was like suddenly started to cry when we went back to the room. so touched! She was like saying she would miss us. All of us were shocked and emma could like control as she had keep sniffing to hold back her tears.

We went for breakfast @ macdonald's, then played a bit of daikee, after that left for Changi Airport. left and every1 felt so emotional... i think they are such great people.

i, alvin, xy, kit and soon chye took ken's car to ang mo kio and alvin and i took 74 back to NP. Felt so tired. LOL kept sleeping... hheee

Part 2
I went back to work recently and there are so many newbies! work location has moved to asian village and i like asian village. It has aircon and it is more cosy :) but work style has changed. I don't really like the current way things work. My enthusiasm has gone down a lot and i heard a lot are quiting. liwen quit. elvina quit. jamie quit. So many old staff quit. Our morale is very low. The new staff are still v excited abt this job but now we find it so mundane now.

Yesterday (sat) there was a major communication breakdown. According to walkie, it seems to tell us that the fountain - lower east/west gates not yet closed. kak asked me to inform guest via loud haler. People came in running and i thought they could get in. Sadly, the lower gates closed earlier than expected and those who rushed in could not get in :(. It created a big Hoos and Haas and a lady kept demanding to see or the PR's director's number. I was as friendly as possible but she did not cool down. Hence alvin came into action and settled the case.


This case was compained and it was quite a serious 1 :)

CIP oooi....

Ok. Lets blog about CIP now.

CIP has been rather a nice module for me and I love it. The module has helped to find solutions to problems we faced.

In PBL 1, we did the project on setting up an IT department. It was quite a challenge for us as we had a hard time finding the right brand of IT equipment to buy for the company. We learned to figure out the pro's and con's of the various brands of computers, projectors and etc. It made us make more substatial decisions to the software and hardware.

CIP has that individual assignment which made us do a project on a website on ourselves. It was a very challenging assignment and from there, I learnt a lot of ways to organise my websites and ways to beautify my website. I enjoyed putting pictures I like and creating web pages with music in background. When I finally finished the website, I felt a sense of achievement as the flash movies was very difficult to create and i did not like the layer method to create the animation. There are still many things for me to learn like putting buttons in the flash aniamtion to make it work when it is being pressed like the commercial ones.

Linking in the webpages was very sensitive as I did not know that I cannot give a absolute link like say "C:/my documents/....." I can only put "/music/123.mp3" so that the music, picture or source will work. As a result, there were some versions burned into the CD deemed as waste as some links and pictures did not work.

From PBL 2, we did research to find out more about the specific problems faced. Some of them need the used of Microsoft's Knowledge Base (KB) to find out more about what caused the problem and how to counter it. It was quite a challenge for me to present my part on "invalid system disk" as there were many causes of problems.

Edna appeared into my group as she wanted to work with Max. With Edna around, it is good as she's also good in presenting too. I think my group has done overall quite well. Hopefully I will do better for my CIP exam so that I can achieve A.

To improve this module, I think it would be better if our tutors/lecturers teach us more advanced things so that we can create better websites. We need not learn the ASP, coldfusion etc but more functions should be taught. In this way we know more things like creating a form, linking and many more.

I think this module is very exciting and my tutor - Dr Tan Bee Koon is a very kind and nice person. He made our lessons very flexible and relaxing.

update

I have been really busy these days, with school work.
I felt so fucked up la. This dephanie keep on never do work and now i have to "coax" her to do. I think i will never do projects with her next time. She is so damn irritating la! Then when doing the project... kept asking questions. In my email, I already stated what and how to do. I think she really need to do her homework than asking me so much crap. I feel so sad la. I mean this coming sun must submit liaoz. Then still so slack?

for my group, edna is okay la. But Max v weird la. Give instructions to edna without telling me. At first i thought the proposal need to submit printed which was making me extremely stressed. Later i asked so schoool mates and found out we just need to submit it online lo :)


Then again, i still have micro assignment to rush to. Now is 50% complete. I still have OB project-- 80% complete. I hate projects + work + CNY. What a stressful CNY! CNY not v good la. So busy. Cannot really relax. Last year was better. AND I WANT MY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait for it to come.

BUT I must solve these problems now.

my MICROECONOMICS
my BUSINESS STATISTICS
my SPORT AND WELLNESS (DANCE SPORT)

i nv had such a struggling semester before. :( Last time I study harder liaoz. I sure can do better. Now I cannot understand/ cannot do these modules. I NEED to get a min of C or B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Community service did recently : Hongbao collections for needy students of NP. :)

update

I am really busy these days!!!!! Cannot afford to even blog, really very dried out these days like the batteries no batt liaoz...

I had 2 tests and I think i did rotten for both. All very badly done. Business Statistics and Oral communication. Both were very badly done.

Firstly, it was a rotten stats day. In the morning, I had lecture and it was a borrring day. I don't know why. When I was in Sem 1, at least i got friends/class folks to have tutorial/lecture with. Since its from 9am to 12noon, I was very dizzy and tired. Lecture was quite ok, but my mind seemed to be asleep.

After that, i had lunch alone at canteen 2 again. AGAIN. ALONE. I don't understand my timetable. Why make our class so free on Wednesdays? It makes me feel so bored as hardly anyone goes to lecture. I will only see Max and he got his own group of friends. So sad, i have not found my group of friends in poly loz.... so BORED.

After lunch, i went to rotaract club house to study. The room was ok but i decided to switch on the aircon which appeared spoiled and noisy. I let it run noisily and did my revision lo. But I could not study stats! Stats is like maths and I hate it!!! Haiyo, then i everytime see ong poh leng lo. He's nice, but i cannot do this subject. Its not my forte at all. Same goes with microecons. I will DIE in these modules :(

Met Yu chern and Elaine and they gave their dues. (:

The test was rotten and i just do as what i thought it was correct. I feel so sad! The revison exercises - i could not do loz. rotten eggs! :( I feel so helpless. I did as good as possible as I cannot grasp the exact way to the questions. Feel so =___=

The next day was worst. I had OCOM tutorial and test. Calista was like damn funny lars. She appeared into the classroom just at the right time -- when her name was called for table topics -- individual speech. She still managed to give quite a good 1 although it was soooo sudden. I would have freaked out if it happened to me. Some just blanked out as they delivered their speech.

OCOM test was bad. I think i did very badly lo. Anyhow do . MCQ - 1 wrong liaoz. Fill in the blanks also :( 1 wrong. The communication theory - 8 elements I NEVER memorise la!!!!~ I want to vomit blood already. 12/40 marks are at stake!!!! I gonna DIE

Well for today's CATS was ok ah :)

now i'm in the micro lecture. haix. i think calista is like a tandori chicken dipped in curry.

haha-

haha. stupid cal gave me a stupid card tt meant crossed eyed So are you trying to mean that I'm cross eyed. Congrats. you got it correct.

So what if I am cross eyed? =.= I'm born like this. My mum is like this. What could I do? It is transmitted by genes. I dont bother if I'm cross eyed.

And she was late again. hahahahaha.

freak. got through kpt's lesson. did not learn much :( I was late.

fuck la. a lot of projects. late for school. haven do biz stats. projects.

taitai (s)

I cannot imagine one of our class folks become a taitai loz. But I can visualise the responses if one of them becomes 1.

Calista: Cool. I can use his money to go thailand and go on a shopping spree! At the same time, i will get my hair revitalised! ( she came to ob tut like she was shagged last night! LOL!!!)

Edna: don't want la. afterall, my bf is quite rich, although he may be stingy at times. But then again, I might be a taitai too =) **diaoz =_=

Ann: Wah. I want to be one. *thinks longer* I don't to be 1. I don't even love him. Why should i marry him? Besides that, he is sooooo old (60-70s) i cannot have that thing with him la.

It looks like calista looks most suitable to be a taitai :)
