Yummy Again! L0L!
It was a rather slack day for me and during the 2 hour break we had, we went back to that Indian coffee shop again for lunch this time. L0L! I had Mutton Briyani and it was fabulous! I love the spice of it! L0L! Anyway, we went to Pool Factor again after lunch and most of us didn't play pool because we were busy playing with the Photo Hunt machine. It turned out that we spent $5 on the machine, which is more expensive than playing pool for an hour. L0L! Yeah, that's my day for you in short! I have lots of work to get done tomorrow, so take care and cya~! =]

Yummy!
Oh, we had to check our temperature twice today in school due to the SARS exercise. I'm perfectly fine, so no worries for me! L0L! We had a 3 hour break today because our Engineering Mechanics teacher was away on course, so we decided to go some place new for lunch. We went over to the stretch opposite of Beauty World, where there many coffee shops. We had lunch at this Indian coffee shop, but I don't know how to spell the name. L0L! It was during the breakfast time, so I had Mutton Murtabak! Yummy! L0L! We went to Beauty World's Pool Factor to play pool for awhile before we went back to school. So that's about it for the day, take care and cya soon everyone~! =]

Stealth
Let's see, I went to school for only 2 hours today from 10am to 12pm. L0L! My Engineering Mechanics teacher was away on a course, so she won't be around for today and tomorrow. After school, I went to Jurong East to meet Kumar for lunch at Pizza Hut. Then, we slacked around till Justin and Malbindar came to join us. The four of us went to watch Stealth together and it lasted for 2 hours. It was a pretty alright movie, but it didn't blow me away at all. L0L! I'm the kind that like to watch quality movies from the beginning till the end. Oh well, I supposed there are better movies coming soon, so we'll just have to wait and see. That's about it actually, I came home to watch Charmed and Manhunt. Now, I'm about to get some sleep as lessons are from 8am to 5pm tomorrow although there will be a 3 hour break. L0L! Alright guys, got to go now, take care and cya soon~! =]

Common Test Results
Basically, I spent the whole day in school today, but it was actually pretty relaxed. I got back 2 out of the 3 papers I took and I pass both of them. I managed to get 94 for Engineering Maths and 82 for Electrical Technology. I'm just praying and hoping that my Engineering Mechanics paper will get me at least a 80 plus as well. L0L! Anyway, that's about it for today, didn't really do much at all. L0L! Take care everyone~! =]

America's Next Top Model 4
It was an extremely slack day for me. I went to school at 8am and had lessons up till 10am only. After that, I went to get some project work done with my group members till about 2pm. I came home after that and watched 2 episodes of Charmed that I had downloaded before I went to take a nap. L0L! I woke up for dinner and watched America's Next Top Model 4 at 10:30pm on Channel 5 before I came to blog. I didn't realise it was season 4, I thought it was still season 3. Apparently, Channel 5 did not broadcast America's Next Top Model season 3. Anyway, I had a few favourites that didn't make the final 14. It was really wasted though because some of them really deserved to get a shot. Oh well, every thing happens for a reason right? Yup, that's all I have to say for today. Take care and cya all soon~! =]

The Island
I went to meet Justin and Kumar today at Cineleisure to catch a movie. Our initial idea was to sneak into Sin City, but in the end we decided to watch The Island. It was a pretty dumb show and I won't want to watch it again. Anyway, we went to Borders after that to look around. I was looking for this book by Dale Carnegie called "How to win friends and influence people". I was not able to find it though. L0L! Anyway, after that we went home as we could not think of anything else to do. L0L! I got home around 10pm and just slack around before I came to blog. L0L! So that's about it for today, cya soon everyone~! =]

Haircut
I had my final common test paper today, which was Engineering Mechanics. I'm not sure how well I did, but I managed to complete it and went off early. Hopefully, I will not make any careless mistakes and that I will do well for the paper. L0L! I left for home after that to rest for awhile before coming out again to meet Sian Yang at Clementi around 3:30pm. He accompanied me to Paragon to get my hair done at Salon4Hair. Well, he was meeting his BB boys, so I decided not to follow. After I got my hair done, I went to buy some stuff before heading for home. Well, that's about it I suppose. Take care and cya~! =]

Slack Day.
I met my friends in the Bukit Batok McDonalds today at 12pm to study. I had my lunch before I started studying for my Engineering Mechanics common test, which is tomorrow. We lost our concentration most of the time as we were distracted by the laptops and other stuff. Anyway, we decided to go to Jeremiah's house to play pool after awhile because most of us didn't have the mood to continue studying. L0L! We went to his house to slack till it was around 6:30pm, then we went home. I got home to watch an episode of Charmed that I had downloaded. After that, I watched Charmed again on Channel 5 this time at 8:30pm. I slacked all the way till 10:30pm to catch Manhunt on Channel 5. L0L! I'm going to sleep soon and hope that my last paper tomorrow will be easy. Alright then, take care everyone. =]

EG1 Common Test
Well, I had my Engineering Maths common test paper today and another Miracle happened. It was the exact situation from yesterday. I had difficulty with a question and within the last 2 minutes that I had, I managed to solve it. The good thing was that the answer I got was similar to most of my friends. I actually felt like giving up on that question, but I didn't want to leave it blank either, so I decided to keep pressing till I get it. Somehow and some way, I managed to get it and I'm glad I didn't give up just like that.
After the paper, I met up with my IS group members to discuss about our project and we were done within 15 minutes. Then I went to meet up with my classmates at Bukit Timah Plaza for lunch. After lunch, Dennis wanted to get his hair cut, so he went to Monsoon while the rest of us walked around. When we all wanted to leave the building, we realised that it was raining heavily, so we decided to wait for awhile before we left and went our separate ways. When I got home around 4pm, I watched 4 of the Charmed episodes that I downloaded. L0L! Anyway, I don't want to talk about what just happened a few moments ago. I didn't think the week could get any worse, but obviously I was really wrong. I'm really upset right now and I just hope that I'll get over it tomorrow. Sighz.

Eltech Common Test
I managed to pull myself together and get the Electrical Technology paper done. I was stuck at a question for more than half an hour, so I stayed till the end of the duration given. During the last 2 minutes that I had, I managed to think and solve the question. It turned out that most of my friends had the same answer as me. I would say that it is a Miracle, but perharps everything happens for a reason. Anyway, after the paper, my classmates and I went to the Mcdonalds at Bukit Batok to have lunch. Then, we went over to Jeremiah's house to study and play pool. We left around 6:30pm and I took a slow walk home to save money and to slowly think about some stuff. Yup, that pretty much sums my day up for you. Anyway, wish me all the best for my Engineering Maths common test tomorrow. Take care and cya~! =]

When Depression Sets In...
Wow, what a day. I don't know what the hell is going on man. Let me just sum it up real quick. I went to study with a couple of friends today and watch The Apprentice at 10pm. My common test is up tomorrow, Tuesday and Thursday. Hopefully, I can pull myself together and do well. I'm just really vexed right now. I'm frustrated, disappointed and upset all at the same time. I just can't believe what just happened. I guessed what one of my secondary school friend said about me was true, "behind the smile lies a thousand sorrows".

I had a hard time doing the online Engineering Mechanics assignment because I didn't know how to do 3 out of the 5 questions. L0L! I watched "Lost" on Channel 5 at 10pm before coming back online. Anyway, "Sin City" is out in cinemas and I can't wait to catch it. Oh well, I don't have much to say today, so I guess I will be stopping here alright? Take care and cya~! =]

Fruitful Day!
L0L! I had a great time today at Jeremiah's house. We went over to his house to chill and "study". L0L! It turned out that most of the time we were not studying. We were playing pool and games most of the time. We celebrated Leonard's birthday by buying a cake and also ordering canadian pizza. L0L! We left about 6pm and I went to meet Sian Yang at West Mall. He was also meeting a friend of his. We went to KFC for dinner and sent his friend off after that. Then, we went to play 3 rounds of pool and he won all of it. We left to coffee bean after that to sit down and chat. I felt there was a communication breakdown between us because it seems as though I was talking to the wall for most of the time. After some time, I just got bored of talking to myself basically, so I just kept quiet. Yup, so it turned from a fun day to a pretty bad one. Oh well, I have nothing left to say. Cya~!

I woke up early in the morning with not enough sleep due to the fact that I was playing Neopets last night till it was really late. L0L! I needed to get to school to do some projects with my group members. I reached school at 10am and we did our project up till 12pm. I headed for home after that to put some stuff down and also to take my notes out to study. I was meeting Dennis and Jeremiah at West Mall to study. We had a good time studying because there was a lot of laughter and joy spreading around. L0L! I did manage to complete a EG1 common test sample paper, so at least I didn't lose my concentration. L0L! I went home after and slack around since there wasn't much to do. Anyway, I have to get up early tomorrow because my classmates and I will be heading to Jeremiah's house to study, play pool and celebrate Leonard's birthday! Alright guys, Cya all soon~! =]

I went to school today in the afternoon because there were extra lessons for Electrical Technology from 2pm till 5pm. After the lessons were over, everyone had a hard time deciding where to go. In the end, Alex, Jeremiah, Leonard and I went to West Mall. Jeremiah left within 15 minutes, so it was just the three of us. L0L! We studied at Coffee Bean till about 8:15pm, then we went to eat dinner at the food court will about 9:30pm. We went to the arcade after that to play 2 rounds of pool because the arcade was closing soon. L0L! We went home after that and I have to stop here now because I still have a lot of stuff to do. Alright guys, cya again tomorrow~! =]

Fantastic Four
I had some activities for the day. I woke up after 12pm and met Anwar at Jurong East Entertainment Centre to catch the Fantastic Four at 2pm. It lasted an hour and a half and it was an alright show. It didn't really blow me away, so it isn't all that good. After that, we went to play pool for an hour. I realised that it is cheaper now compared to last time. It used to cost about $7 to $8, but now it has been reduced to $4.80 per hour. Therefore, there were many people there when we got there. After playing pool, we went to have dinner at Long John Silvers. I collected my Xbox after that and we walked around Jurong East before heading home. L0L! My Xbox is finally repaired and everything's working fine now, so I know what to do when I'm feeling bored from now onwards. L0L! Take care guys~! =]

Test!!!
I had 2 different tests today. Both of them went pretty well. It was actually not as bad as I had expected it to be. L0L! The MDCAD test was during the lesson time and my teacher actually closed an eye I think. As for the MTPRAC test, it was after school, from 5pm to 6pm. It was actually a 1 hour test, but we were allow to leave after half an hour if we had completed the test. I left before the 1 hour mark because I could not think of how to answer one of the question, so I left it blank. L0L! I went home after that and I finally have a study break next week. L0L! The common test is in 2 weeks time, so I'm going to make sure that I do well for them. Alright then, I'm going off now, take care and god bless~! =]

It was a long day in school. I had lessons from 8am to 5pm, so I was pretty tired when I got home. I could not rest because I had to revise for the tests that I would be taking tomorrow. I went through Manufacturing Technology and tried to remember as much as I could. I tried to study MDCAD as well, but I could not find the solutions to the sample paper, so I gave up. I hope I will get to revise everything again during the 2 hour break I have tomorrow and do well for both of the tests. Alright guys, I'm going off now, take care and god bless~ =]

I tried really hard to memorise as much as I could, but more importantly, to understand the concept of it. I'm hoping I will be able to do well for the test on Friday. Anyway, I completed my Engineering Mechanics assignment as well. I have not gone through anything on MDCAD, so I have to do it either tomorrow or on Friday during the 2 hour break. Let's just hope I don't get too lazy yeah? I caught Charmed at 8pm on Channel 5 and Manhunt on Channel 5 at 10pm. Seth and Ron were eliminated today, but I felt that Ron did a good job though.

I had a shower and my dinner, but I was exhausted and worn out after that. I managed to do a little bit of Electrical Technology assignments, but I slacked after that up till now. L0L!

War of the Worlds
I woke up after 1pm today and had my lunch before I went to meet Kumar at Jurong Entertainment Centre. First, we went to get our Xbox repaired, the person said he would give us a ring in a week's time. So I'll just have to wait for the call and hope that it won't cost me a bomb. L0L! After that, I accompanied Kumar to get his mobile phone repaired. He was told that he could only collect it tomorrow evening, so he would be heading down again tomorrow. Next, we went to catch War of the Worlds. The ticket was $8, but I still cannot figure out why. L0L! Anyway, the movie wasn't great, it was just alright. It was not that good nor that bad, it was just hanging in the middle. L0L! We went to Long John's for dinner after the movie, then we headed for home. I came home and did some assignments, but I kept getting distracted because of Neopets. L0L! I think I'm too addicted to that game already and I'll have to do something about it before it kills me.

A New Month
Let's see, it was a pretty relax day in school today. Classes started only at 10am and there was a 2 hour lunch break, so my classmates and I went to Pizza Hut again. L0L! There were a total of 8 of us this time. After lunch, we splited into 2 groups of 4 to take separate cabs back to school. It cost each of us about $1, so it was pretty worthwhile. So, the MDCAD module ended before 5pm, but when I got to the bus stop it was already 5pm and I waited half an hour for the bus to come. The worst thing was that it was packed and Alex and I could not get in. We saw Shi Min and Wei Li, so the four of us took a cab to Bukit Batok Interchange. Each of us had to pay $1.60 and I must remember to return the money to Shi Min on Tuesday. I got home and played Neopets as well as Ragnorok Online. I just started playing it, so no comments yet from me. L0L! I'll tell you all more about the game once I play more. L0L! Alright people, I'm going off now, take care and good nitez~! =]
