Oh, I forgot to blog about an accident I met with yesterday while my friends and I were taking a bus down to have lunch at Pizza Hut. We took 61 there and when it was reaching our bus stop, a car came and bang into the back door. Although nobody was injured, the front of the car was pretty screwed and the back door of the bus was screwed too. L0L!
Anyway, it was pretty slack today during lessons. Everything was over by 5pm and I went home after that to slack even more by playing Neopets. L0L! I caught Lost on Channel 5 at 10pm just before I came here to blog. All I can say is that, it is getting more interested week after week, so you guys should go check it out too yeah? Alright, I must go now because I want to have an early night, so I won't be so tired tomorrow. Take care everyone and cya all soon~! =] "If your morals make you dreary, depend on it , they are wrong." - Robert Louis Stevenson

Pizza Hut
It was actually a short day in school. The official lessons were only from 8am to 12pm and I managed to understand almost everything today, so that's the good thing. After school, 6 of us went to Pizza Hut for lunch and basically slack around till it was time to get to the remedial class. The remedial class was for Electrical Technology and it was from 3pm to 5pm, but I left early to meet Sian Yang at West Mall.
He wanted to get his M1 line done and we had dinner after that. Then, we went to McDonalds to slack around and play Neopets. L0L! I reached home around 8:40pm and caught a little bit of Charmed after my shower. Then, I watched Manhunt on Channel 5 at 10pm. There were a whole lot of controlversy. Kevin P. and Tate brought some girls back to their room after the time allowed and I have no idea what they did. Also, Kevin P. was the embedded model, so it was pretty dumb of him. To be honest, he wasn't all that good as well. L0L! In the end, both Kevin and Tate didn't get eliminated, but 4 others did. I forgot their names so you can check out everything at the official website, but I forgot that too. L0L! Anyway, I received this email from Ngee Ann about some low attendance rate for the Electrical Technology tutorial. I have no idea why, but I know I have attended every single lesson from day one up till now, so it is really f**ked up. I would not like to continue on about it because it is pure Bullshit. I really have to go now, it is getting late. Cya~! =] "The ancestor of every action is a thought." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Neopets!
Hmmm... I had a pretty bad day in school today. First of all, the manufacturing technology workshop practical didn't go very well, but I still managed to survive yet another week. L0L! The Engineering Maths was rubbish and I don't wish to elaborate on it. Fortunately, the last 2 hours were a blast, it was Electrical Technology and I managed to learn quite a lot today. I got home and caught the season finale of Charmed on Star World at 8pm. It was really sad, but as you all should know, Good always triumph over Evil. L0L! It was a happy ending in the end and I'm hoping that the next season of Charmed starts soon. L0L! Anyway, I created a neopet account out of boredom and I'm into it right now. L0L! Oh well, It is fun although it may seem rather childish of me. Oh well, it's getting pretty late and I have a long day tomorrow. I will tell you more about it tomorrow yeah? Alright guys, take guy and cya~! =]

Movies~
Let's see, it was a short day in school today because I only had 1 module to attend from 8am to 10am. Yup, there was a test for that whole 2 hour period and I'm not so sure if I managed to pull it off this time. L0L! I went home after school to rest for awhile and then went out to meet Kumar at Jurong East. My main purpose was to catch Mr & Mrs Smith before it close soon.
It was at 12:30pm and Kumar arrived late, so we missed the first few minutes. L0L! It was a pretty nice show and I won't mind watching it again IF I have the money. L0L! We went for lunch after that and we were thinking if we should watch another movie. We checked the next available time slot for A Lot Like Love, which was at 4:15pm. It was only 3pm plus at that time, so we were still considering. Then, we went to this shop that sold Xbox and PS2 games and watched others played games. We went in to check if they do repairs for modified Xbox because both of Xbox were dead. Apparently they did, so we would most slightly be visiting them over the weekends to get our Xbox fixed. L0L! It has been a pretty long time since I last played a game on my Xbox. Anyway, we decided to catch A Lot Like Love in the end and it was quite worth the money. It was rather comical and I enjoyed watching it. We headed home after the movie and I managed to watch 2 out of 3 movies that I wanted to watch for a pretty long time. L0L! I still have not catch Batman, so if anyone is interested in watching it with ME, please let me know. L0L! Alright people, I'm going off right now. Take good care and have a good week ahead~! =] "Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it." - Henry David Thoreau

Eltech & Mtprac
Yeah! I managed to complete my Electrical Technology assignments today, but I still didn't manage to do one of the questions. Fortunately, I managed to clear the rest and continued to study Manufacturing Technology. L0L! I went through turning and milling today and I had a very hard time understanding everything. Once I was done with that, I played Knights Online for awhile before having my dinner. I came back to play Gunz Online and the new gun I bought yesterday was working effectively because I managed to get more kills than usual. L0L! Anyway, I'm planning for tomorrow because I finish school at 10am and I have nothing to do after that. I'm uncertain if I have to bring my laptop tomorrow because I forgot if I'm supposed to. L0L! I'm not sure if it is for the module tomorrow or a different one. Alright people, I'm going to get some stuff done now, cya~! =]

Assignments
I woke up after 1pm today because I was really tired after a long week. L0L! I had my lunch and a shower before I started to do my assignments. I started of doing Engineering Maths Tutorial, then I tried to do Electrical Technology, but it didn't turn out any good because I was unable to answer the very first question. I decided not to do it and went to do the Manufacturing Technology web tutorial. Finally, I tried doing the sketching of the MDCAD, but once again it didn't turn out well. I'll just try my luck again tomorrow I supposed. I had my dinner before playing Knights Online and Gunz Online. L0L! I'll try to do more work tomorrow and not get distracted by these games. L0L! Alright guys, I have to go get some sleep now. Take care and cya all soon~! =]

Slack!
It was a damn slack day in school and at home today. A one hour lecture was cancelled because the lecturer wasn't in school today. Therefore, we had a three hour break from 11am to 2pm. L0L! The rest of the day was pretty slack as well and we ended around 4:3opm. When I got home, I played Knights Online for around 3 or 4 hours. L0L! Yup, as you can guess, I just finished playing it and I'm thinking of what to do next. Alright guys, there's nothing much left for me to blog here, so cya all soon yeah? =]

Lost.
It was a long day in school today. Lessons started at 8am all the way to 5pm. There's nothing interesting that happened in school today though. I came home to do my Engineering Mechanics homework as well as some Electrical Technology questions. After that, I watched Lost on Channel 5 at 10pm. It's an extremely complicated storyline, so don't get me started yeah? L0L! Although lessons start later tomorrow, but I intend to get a good night sleep. Alright guys, take care and gd nitez~! =]

Miscommunication
It was a short day in school for me today. Lessons were only from 8am to 12pm. I managed to cope with Engineering Mechanics today, but there will be a test tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to do well. As for Electrical Technology, I didn't understand anything during the lecture, but i redeem myself by studying at home. L0L! After class, I went to lunch with my classmates at the cafe in my school. Due to a miscommunication with Kumar, I ended up going home instead of going to watch Mr & Mrs Smith. L0L! The good thing was that I managed to take a nap and study for both Engineering Mechanics as well as Electrical Technology. Anyway, Channel 5 just started showing Manhunt today when it was over like months ago. L0L! An aspiring model like myself should watch more of these kind of shows. Alright, I'm going to sleep now. Cya~! =]

Learning
School started at 9am today. I met Wei Qiang at Bukit Batok Interchange around 8:20am and there was a long queue for the bus 61. The queue went all the way to the kiosk and when the bus came, it was only a single deck bus. Therefore, the bus was packed and some people were unable to board it. L0L!
We did milling at the workshop today and I had a hard time with it. I kept making errors and mistakes here and there. Thank god I have wonderful classmates to help me out as well as a good lecturer. Special thanks to Terence, Jeremiah and Amin for helping me most of the time! =] We went to Singapore Institute of Management for lunch at this cafe. The food there was pretty alright and quite cheap considering the fact that it's a cafe. L0L! There were a total of 14 of us and we all went late for our next class, which was Engineering Maths. I had nothing to do in class because I already had completed the revision, so I didn't really do much in the class. The last 2 hours were for Electrical Technology tutorial. I learnt a lot today as I asked as many questions as I could and I did clarify most of my doubts. Alright man! I came home after school and as usual, for every Tuesday, caught Charmed on Star World at 8pm. The sad thing is that next week is the season finale. However, the good thing is that Channel 5 just started airing this season like 3 weeks ago, so I can watched all the episodes that I missed this season. L0L! Oh well, hopefully next season comes soon, so I would be able to see what happens in the future when both Wyatt and Chris grows up. L0L! Alright people, I believe my entry today is much longer compared to the previous few. Therefore, all good things have to come to an end and that's why I would be ending here for today. L0L!

Online Games
L0L! I only had school from 8am to 12pm today. After that I came home and played online games all the way. I played Gunz Online and Knights Online, but most of the time I was playing Gunz Online. Good news for all of you guys out there. Gunz online just released the new patch and there are 4 servers now, so it's easier to login. Also, there are new maps as well, but I have not checked the store to see if there are any new items for sale. I did take a rest awhile by watching the television. L0L! Tomorrow is going to be a rather long day in school and there's Charmed on Star World! Woohoo! L0L! That's all from me today, take care and have a great week ahead! =]

Sweater
I stayed at home to play knights online today. L0L! I had a great time playing and now I've reached level 20. The server was still very laggy today and there were times when everything around me just frozen for maybe 3 minutes? Yeah, it was that bad. Oh well, I went to have dinner with my sister at West Mall. I was being spotted by Qing Xiang while I was walking towards the escalator. L0L! I had this feeling while I was on the way to West Mall that I'll meet someone I know there. L0L! Anyway, after dinner, we walked around and I managed to get this rather nice sweater from Tom & Stephanie. It cost me around $23, but it was still a good buy. I actually wanted to buy this T-shirt as well, but it was too bad that I didn't have enough money to buy it. L0L! Anyway, I don't have anything much to blog about today, so take care and cya tomorrow~! =]

Knights Online
I woke up after 1pm today and had lunch before coming online for a short while. I went to try out some questions from my Electrical Technology lecture notes, but I was unable to do it, so I pretty much gave up and went back to use the computer. L0L! I tried out an online game called Knights Online and it was great. The gameplay was awesome and so were the graphics, but the bad thing was that it was really laggy and I couldn't stand it. Oh well, after dinner I decided to study Manufacturing Techonlogy and I managed to do 2 chapters. I also read through the Electrical Technology and managed to get understand most of the stuff. My only problem is that I'm unable to do the questions. Oh well, I tried to access Gunz Online not too long ago, but I wasn't able to because there were too many people once again. I kept trying and trying for at least 15 minutes, but I still couldn't log in. That's why I came here to blog and maybe try that again later. L0L! Yeah, so I'm going to try to access it once again, therefore I shall stop here for today. Take care everybody~! =]

Gunz Online
My sore throat didn't recover at all; I think it got a little worse as a matter of fact. L0L! Anyway, school started at 10am today all the way till 5pm. We started a new chapter for Electrical Technology, but I'm still unable to cope with it. Therefore, this weekend I'll have to revise through everything that was taught in the previous chapter. As for Engineering Maths, we move to the topic on logarithms and so far everything is pretty alright. Hopefully, I'll be able to cope with it or I'll be really lagging behind. *Sighz*
Anyway, during the 2 hour break that we had, 8 of us went to Bukit Timah Plaza for lunch. At first, we wanted to eat at Pizza Hut. Unfortunately, the whole place was booked by someone, so we went to have KFC instead. Yes, I ate KFC although I knew it would cause my throat to be a burden. L0L! Oh well, my classmates and I were thinking of going on a cruise during the September holidays. I'm not sure if we will actually be going though. We reached the MDCAD lesson on time today. The lecturer wasn't there yet, so we couldn't go in as the door wasn't open. L0L! I was able to cope with today's lesson, but I had got mixed up and confused at times. L0L! Nobody is perfect right? I went home immediately after school to have a nice shower and a good dinner. After dinner, I went to see a doctor so that I could recover from my sore throat as soon as possible. I just cannot stand it when it's there. The reason being I can't eat fried stuff, heaty stuff and stuff with chilli. I don't think I can live without those for a week or two. L0L! Well, the doctor said that I was having a mild sore throat, so I'm hoping that I'll recover over the weekends. I took my medicine when I came home I played Gunz Online after that. I had a hard time logging in because the 2 servers they had were both full, so I kept trying and trying for about 15 minutes at least. I had no regrets though, because I'm simply addicted to that game. L0L! Alright people, I'm going to bed now. I'll have to do some revision tomorrow and on Sunday for my modules. Yup, the common test is in July and I want to do well. I think I have screwed up enough times to know that it is time for me to focus and reach my goal. So that's all from me for today, take care and cya~! =] "It's choice - not chance - that determines your destiny." - Jean Nidetch

Lost
Let's see, I started school at 8am and ended at 5pm. There wasn't really anything exciting that happened today. Everything is so much standard now because it is nearly a month since I have been in the school. Oh well, I found out that I had a sore throat this morning when I woke up. It wasn't that bad actually. It was actually quite mild, but there since the weekends, only I didn't realise that it was a sore throat. Anyway, I bought some Strepsils and I'm feeling much better right now, so I'm hoping that I'll recover by tomorrow. I caught Lost on Channel 5 at 10pm today, but I was quite lost because I didn't catch the 2 hour premiere last week. It's a rather interesting and mysterious show, so I guess I'll be starting to follow it from now on. L0L! Alright people, I have to get some sleep although I don't have to wake up so early tomorrow. L0L! Take care and gd nitez~! =]

Shitty Day.
It was a short day and we had lessons only from 8am to 12pm. L0L! Actually, the plan I had in mind was to catch Mr and Mrs Smith at West Mall after school. However, or should I say Apparently, I have no idea what's wrong with West Mall. Oh well, as expected, we ended up not going anywhere. We stayed in school for who knows what, but I managed to complete my Engineering Mechanics tutorial though. L0L! After I completed my work, I headed for Felix's house. We downloaded some online games to try out and I had a great time there. That was probably the only non-shitty thing today. L0L! I got home around 6:30pm, had a shower and took my dinner. I caught Eye For A Guy at 10pm on Channel 5 and Wolfgang won Denise's heart in the end. I actually wanted Howard to win her heart because I feel that he's a much better person compared to Wolfgang. Oh well, like I said, it was a shitty day. L0L! Anyway, I found this online multiplayer game that I'm addicted to right now, which is Gunz. L0L! It's a first person shooter game similar to Counter Strike. L0L! You guys can download it from www.gunzonline.com . Yup, alright that's all from me today. It's kind of late so I have to get some sleep or I won't be able to wake myself up tomorrow. L0L! Cya guys soon~! =]

Long day.
It was a rather long and tiring day today. Class started at 9am with MTPRAC for the first 3 hours. We ended pretty early, so we had a longer lunch break. Six of us went to the Alumni clubhouse cafe to have lunch. After lunch, we walked back to class for the Engineering Maths practical lesson. There was basically nothing to do because I had already completed my work last week. L0L! Most of us ended up slacking for the whole two hours there. The last 2 hours was a tutorial session for the Electrical Technology module. I did in advance the work that we were supposed to do today, so I tried to pay attention to his explaination. After class was over, I went home. I watched "Charmed" on Star World at 8pm and it was great man. Wyatt from the future came to the present because they casted a spell wrongly. L0L! We turned evil due to some curse, but Leo, his dad managed to reverse the spell. Damn, it was interesting! L0L! I can't wait for next week's episode. Anyway, that's all from me today, so take care~! =]

Teenage Alcoholism
I went to school today for only 2 hours just for the Communications module. There was a 2 minute speech test today. We were to pick up two cards from an envelope, one was the purpose and the other was the audience. The purpose I got was to "Inform" and the audience was the "Prime Minister". I knew I was pretty much screwed although we could come up with our own scenario and settings. I role-played as the Minister of Education and basically suggest to the Prime Minister to change the education system. I was right; I screwed up pretty bad and got myself a B-. Oh well, I'll just have to learn from experience yeah? L0L!
Lessons were over by 10am. I stayed and discuss with one of my Individual and Community module member for our project. We were basically coming up with questions to ask teenagers about alcohol. So I'll have to "interview" some of you guys to get more information on teenage alcoholism. Here is a sample of the questions. If you are able to, do provide me with your answers yeah? 1. Are you an alcoholic drinker? (If No: proceed to qn 7, If Used to: proceed to qn 8) 2. How often do you drink alcohol? 3. How long have you been drinking alcohol? 4. Why do you drink alcohol? 5. Are you aware of the effects of alcohol? 6. How has alcohol affected your lifestyle? 7. How do you feel towards alcoholics? 8. Why did you quit drinking alcohol? L0L! Not bad right! These were the questions two of us came up with. Well, I'll love it if some of you guys can help me out here yeah! Anyway, after discussing the survey thing, I stayed and chatted awhile with my friend before leaving about 11am. I saw Chu Sin at The Atrium with a friend of hers and we started talking for awhile before I left for home. L0L! I reached home close to 12pm? Yup, I had a cool shower and a good meal before I slacked around. I went to take a nap around 2pm all the way till 7pm. L0L! Yes, so I'm pretty much bright awake right now. L0L! Anyway, I've got some stuff to do right now, so I'll cya guys soon yeah? Take care~! =] "When in doubt, tell the truth." - Mark Twain

My iPod Shuffle!
I managed to do some revision today on Engineering Maths and Electrical Technology. L0L! Anyway, I have not got the iPod Shuffles yet, but my friend told me that there was some delivery problems for the 1GB iPod, so there are only 512MB iPod Shuffles available. I can either get back my money or swap to the 512MB one and take the remaining cash. At the moment, I'm still uncertain of what I'm going to do, but I have been waiting so long for it. I think it will be a waste if I don't get it too, so most slightly I'll be swaping for the 512MB iPod Shuffle. It can store up to 120 songs and that's good enough for me. Well, we'll just have to wait and see yeah? Alright, I have to go now, cya guys soon~! =]

Games...
Well, I slacked at home for the whole of today. I was basically playing games on the computer and chatting on msn from the time I woke up till now. L0L! Well, I'm going to have to start studying tomorrow and going through some things that I didn't understand in class. Hopefully, I'll have the motivation to do my work and not continue to play games tomorrow. L0L!
I have 7 modules in total, the Communications module as well as the Individual and Community module doesn't really require me to read much. As for the Mechanical Drawing and CAD, it's more of a practical rather than theory, but still there is a little to read up on how to use the Auto CAD program. So I'm left with 4 modules that I really have to read the lecture notes. There is the Engineering Maths and Engineering Mechanics, which is a combination of E Maths and A Maths. Also, the Electrical Technology module has got to do with Physics. Luckily, none of my modules have anything to do with Chemistry. L0L! The last module is Manufacturing Technology, which is similar to Design and Technology. That is the module that I'm really worried about because I'm really weak in Design and Technology. L0L! Oh well, I'll be doing the tutorial for Engineering Maths and reading up the lecture notes for both Engineering Mechanics and Electrical Technology, so hopefully I'll be able to understand better. I have no problems with the Engineering Maths so far. Well, wish me all the best that I can study to my fullest tomorrow yeah? L0L!

Surprise!
I had a rather good time in school today mainly because we started late. L0L! I met Wei Qiang around 9:15am at the Bukit Batok Interchange before proceeding on to school. We went different ways when we got to school. I met some of my classmates before heading up to class. I wasn't able to pay much attention during lessons today. L0L! I did manage to get some notes down though.
We had a 2 hour break today, so we went to King Albert's Park to have lunch at McDonalds. There were about 9 of us in total; we were actually planning a surprise birthday party for Terence. L0L! After we ate finished, some of us went to buy the birthday cake for him. We got this Mocha cake from Beganwan Solo, which cost $19.80. It tasted great though. We put 18 candles around the cake and walk back into McDonalds holding the cake in our hands. L0L! We sang him the birthday song, cut the cake and just had a great time. He was speechless. L0L! We left King Albert's Park around 1:45pm and decided to walk back to school. When we reached the bus stop, we changed our minds. L0L! Andrea, Joanne, Nana and Jeremiah decided to take a cab back and stop directly at the block we were supposed to go to. The rest of us, which includes Alex, Dennis, Gavin, Terence and I took a bus to Singapore Institute of Management and walk back to school. We thought it would be nearer that way, but it was actually about the same. L0L! For the MDCAD module today, we learnt to use the AutoCAD software. It was quite alright, but it was really confusing at times. It made me really frustrated at a certain point of time, but it was all good in the end. I think that was the only period where I did pay good attention. L0L! Although we were only dismissed at about 5pm, I still had a good time. L0L! I headed straight for home after that. L0L! Alright guys, it's getting late now and I have to get some rest. Take care and cya~! =] "Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time." - Thomas Merton

Let's see, I supposed you could say that it was a pretty alright day. I managed to understand what was going on today for most of the lessons except for the MTPRAC one. L0L! I was trying my best not to fall asleep during that 2 hour period. L0L! In the end, we were dismissed at 4:30pm. The bus service was great today, 61 came within 5 minutes. I reached home by 5pm today, so I had enough time to rest. L0L! Well, it's going to be a great day tomorrow because there is going to be a surprise! L0L! I'll tell you guys more about it tomorrow! Cya~! =]

Pool.
Well, it was a short day in school today. Lessons were only from 8am to 12pm, but they were all pretty bad because I didn't really understand what was going on. L0L! After school, 5 of us went to the alumni club house's cafe to have lunch. We took our time as we had all the time in the world. Then, we went to Bukit Timah Plaza to play pool. Well, I had a hard time playing pool. It was just one of those pretty bad days of mine, maybe it is because I haven't been playing pool for quite some time already. L0L! Anyway, I'm really tired now and I have a long day tomorrow, so that's all I can blog today. Take care and cya guys later~! =]

Lessons.
It was a long and exhausting day in school today. A friend and I had a hard time searching for the room we were supposed to be in for the first lesson. We were already late and we still couldn't find the place. When we found the place, we realised that we were not late at all. There were still others who have not arrived yet. Our first lesson of the day was MTPRAC, which last for 3 solid hours. L0L! I had a fun time experimenting with the grinding machine though.
We had a 1 hour lunch break before our next lesson, which was the Engineering Maths practical. It was a total waste of time as all we simply did the maths online thing, which could be accessed from home. I already completed more than half of it, so I only had very little questions left to do. Unfortunately, the revision screwed up everything because it took me a whole lot of time. Even by the end of the lesson, I wasn't able to complete it. The last lesson of the day was the Electrical Technology, but the teacher finished early and we were allowed to leave. After class, I accompanied my classmate to get some stuff from his friend. I headed for home after that. Well, I guess I'll be stopping here for today because I have nothing left to talk about. L0L! Alright then, take care guys!

Money!!!
It was a short day at school today. Basically, there were only two modules that I had to attend today. First was the communications module where we had to speak for a minute in front of the class. We were each given different roles to play and I got the role of a weatherman. I had a hard time brainstorming on what I would be talking about, but in the end I just went up and tried my best. I think I managed to pull it off, but I know that there is still room for improvement. Furthermore, next week is the test where we have to draw the role we will be playing from a box and speak for 2 minutes. I'm hoping that I'll perform even better and excel with an A.
The next lesson was the Individual and Community module. The whole lesson was basically to show us and tell us more about our personality. Also, towards the end of the lesson, we were given time to discuss more on our project. We decided to deal with teenage alcoholism; we would be basically doing the causes and effects of it. After class was over, I went with 2 of my classmates to collect the AutoCAD book I ordered last Friday. Then, we went to check out some CCAs and stuff. I managed to gather information on floorball. L0L! The training is every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30pm to 9pm, that's 3.5 hours per session. I'm still not sure if I would be joining at the moment. Anyway, I got back home around 1:30pm and rest for half an hour before leaving the house again to meet up with Sian Yang. He accompanied me to collect my pay cheque from my ex-company. Isn't he nice? L0L! Anyway, we went to the UOB bank after that to deposit my cheque and some cash. L0L! We went to Lucky Plaza after that to have lunch. Then, Sian Yang got his ear sticks from Far East Plaza. We moved on to Takashimaya to have some coffee at Coffee Bean. It was already 5pm plus after we left Coffee Bean. Sian Yang accompanied me to take bus 106 back to Bukit Batok Interchange. I didn't know he was so good to me! L0L! I knew he had something up his sleeve! L0L! He wanted to go to the bicycle shop in Bukit Batok Central to take a look at some stuff, so I followed him. After that, we went different ways as he took the MRT back while I took a bus back. I got home around 6:30pm, had my shower and dinner before coming online. I'm going to start sleeping early from now on because I don't think that I have been having a good rest lately. Yup, so I'm stopping here right now.

Monster In Law
L0L! I had a rather good time today with my secondary school friends and my ex-teacher. We met at causeway point around 5pm and caught Monster In Law at 5:40pm. The movie was simply hilarious and just great. L0L! After the movie, we had a hard time finding a place for dinner. The food court was extremely crowded and most of the restaurants were packed. We decided to have Deilfrance as dinner instead and chat all the way till around 10pm. I reached home at about 10:30pm. Well, I can't blog much today because I need to go to bed now. L0L! Anyway, I'm going off now. Cya all tomorrow~! =]

Home
I stayed home for the whole day basically gaming and slacking around. All the plans I had for today simply screwed up, so I didn't have much of a choice. L0L! I was playing Championship Manager 5 for the whole of the day. That sums it all up. L0L! Anyway, I have plans already for tomorrow, but I'm not too sure if I should stick to the plans I have. L0L! Alright people, cya all around. Ciao~! =]

Slack
It was an extremely slack day in school for me. There were three different modules today. The first one starts at 10am. I didn't take notice of the second one, which starts at 11am. I thought it was just one module that last for 2 hours, so I didn't bring the lecture notes. L0L! I didn't bring my laptop as well because there wasn't a need for it today and I was lazy to carry it along as well. L0L!
Anyway, we had a 2 hour break for lunch. I wanted to get the AutoCAD lecture notes for the next lesson at 2pm, but there wasn't any stock. I had to place an order and collect it on Monday in the end. Anyway, the MDCAD module lesson was next at 2pm and it was really slack. We were allowed to leave once we completed our work. I could have completed everything by 4pm, but there wasn't a point because I had to meet some of my IAC group members to discuss on the topic we would like to do for our project. The thing was that I was meeting them at 5pm, so I couldn't leave any time earlier than that. I did my work slowly, but I was done by 4:15pm. I went to The Atrium to wait for my group members to arrive. It was only 4:30pm at that time, so I waited till 5pm. In the end, only 1 of them turned up. The rest were nowhere to be found. L0L! We waited all the way till 5:30pm, but still none of them were to be found. We went for dinner after that and left our separate ways after dinner. I was really tired while I made my way home. I fell asleep when I was in the bus. I got home around 6:30pm and just slack around because there wasn't any television shows worth watching. L0L! Alright guys, I'm stopping here for today because I need to catch up on my sleep and just relax tomorrow. L0L! Ok then, have a great weekend!

Concession.
Let's see, I had a great time in school today. I managed to understand everything the lecturers were teaching. The only lecture that didn't work well for me was the manufacturing technology module. The lecturer was boring and basically reading everything from the book, so it was useless. I managed to get my student bus concession already, but it cost me $52. L0L! Anyway, I completed all the assignments I'm supposed to do, so I'm pretty relax now. Furthermore, lesson starts at 10am tomorrow, so I'll have more time to sleep. L0L! Well, tomorrow is a pretty relax day as well because I have a 2 hour break. Anyway, I really don't have much to say today, so I guess I'll have to stop here yeah? L0L! Take care guys~! =]

Hitch Hikers?
Well, I had a short day in school today. Lessons were only from 8am to 12pm. After that, I went to lunch with two of my classmates at West Mall and headed home after that. I had an appointment with Sian Yang and Ce Rong at 5pm in West Mall as well. I decided to take a short nap before meeting them.
I met them about 5:15pm and we were supposed to eat Sakae Sushi, but we didn't in the end. It was a long story and I don't think I want to elaborate on it. L0L! Anyway, we ate Swensens in the end and Wei Qiang came to join us for awhile as well. After dinner, Wei Qiang and I went to activate our EZ-Link cards before Wei Qiang left for home. The remaining three of us went to catch a movie instead. I actually wanted to watch Monster in Law, but they refused to, so I didn't have a choice but to watch The Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy or whatever that movie was. It cost me an extra dollar because it was a sneak preview and it opens tomorrow. Well, it was lame and dumb, so it wasn't worth the money. After the movie, I had to head back home as I had some assignments to complete. I reached home after 9pm, took a shower and came out to catch Eye for a Guy. Well, Jeff got eliminated and the reason Denise gave was because they didn't have any chemistry at all. Amazing isn't it? The kind of nonsense you can get when you are down to the final three guys. Oh well, I have to start on my assignments now before it gets late. So cya and take care~! =] "Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it.
