VPP = Slack.
Hey guys, today's the second day of VPP already and we've officially done absolutely nothing. L0L! Pretty cool huh ?
Yeah, so yesterday we had this briefing at 10am about VPP and stuff. There's going to be industry visits as well as seminars and talks. Oh well, I wasn't really paying attention though. L0L! I was playing poker on my mobile phone. After the briefing, most of the groups that were supposed involved in the VPP simply left. Being the good boy that I am, I stayed with the rest of my project mates and... GAME for the rest of the day! WOOHOO! We even had a Party! No, we were not celebrating the start of VPP. All of us have this as our wallpaper! As for today, I reached school about 8:45am? I idled around and chatted with my friends before I decided to take a snooze. I woke up later and looked around. Kee Wei's Sleeping. Bing Hong's Sleeping. Nicholas's Sleeping. Daryl's Sleeping. Jasper's Sleeping. Weian's Sleeping. So as a member of the class, I went back to sleep again. L0L! Everyone was awake at 11:30am and we went for lunch. We came back and game all the way till the supervisors came. L0L! The final year project's pretty screwed up, but we still managed to seek our supervisor's help. We emailed the company asking for the price and shipping details and our supervisor's going to help us to send a fax over to them. Hopefully, all goes well before we get permission to get our budget. My dad came in and talked to me earlier on. He said he's cancelling my second line as well as his own line. =[ He told me it was too expensive and I'm kind of worried right now. Are we facing financial difficulties? Oh well, I shall pay attention to my expenses from now on and not spend money unnecessarily. Alright, that's all for today! Take care everyone~! =] "A man should not leave this earth with unfinished business. He should live each day as if it was a pre-flight check.

Last Day of Holidays.
HELLO! Tomorrow is the start of VPP and I'm not too keen. =[ There goes 5 weeks of holidays, but well I had fun the past 3 days, so there isn't much to complain about. Or maybe there is ? L0L! So let's rewind!
Thursday! The first day of my unofficial holiday! I met Dennis, Gavin, Jeremiah and Weixuan. Dennis and Weixuan had to get some stuff before they head for Langkawi, so we went to Marina Square. We had lunch at Macs before walking around! We went to Creative and I found out that Prodikeys (the keyboards thing that you can use on your desktop) is really cool! I think that was the one I saw and they were selling it at $69! To be honest, I think it's really affordable. I can actually use that to learn to play the keyboards before I get the real thing. Yeah, I'm thinking of getting it, but I wonder if I will actually practice. L0L! I think it's time I update my wishlist on the left too! L0L! Anyway, we were walking around, then Dennis went "Joachim!" and I went "Where?". Indeeds Indeeds! It was him and he was alone so I accompanied him for awhile and the rest went "So it's like that la!?". Yes, it is like that wOrXx! L0L! So I spent some time with Fei Ge after not seeing him for a month or more? We talked about stuff and explained to me other stuff. After about an hour or so, he went off. I went back to join my friends and Jeremiah went "I always Joachim was a tall and skinny guy, I didn't know he was some short and fat guy". ~!@#$%^&* ~!@#$%^&* ~!@#$%^&* JeremiahLive, you live up to your name indeeds! Tsk. So we went to Bugis after I met up with them. Dennis and Weixuan bought their stuff from Bugis Street and we went to the Bugis Kopitiam for dinner. The Cheese and Sausage Prata is nice! Do try it yea! We proceeded home after that! Wooohoo! Friday!! That day I've been waiting for! On Thursday night, Fei Ge said he wanted to meet me around noon time first. Well, didn't meet in the end. *rolls eyes* Expected and pretty used to it already. Oh well, forget it because even if I do talk about it, it falls on deaf ears. Hah. So screw that. I went to meet HER in school! Yayy! We met at the bus stop and proceeded to Cineleisure! On the way there, I was spotted by Terence, Kai Hoong and Siqi! o.O The Secret was showing at 5:30pm and we managed to get tickets, but it was the front row. You'll be surprised though that it wasn't that bad afterall! Yes, I'm talking about the seats... ... as well as the movie itself. L0L! Although it was a Chinese movie by Jay Chou, it was good, seriously! I enjoyed it! The best part was there were English subtitles! Woohoo! After the movie, we walked around Cineleisure and then to Heeren! We decided to go Paragon after that and had Pepper O's while walking there! Yayy! We met Jasper and Grace on the way there and Jasper was boasting to me about him and Grace being in the Teenage magazine. ACTION! No worries, we'll get our turn too! =] We slacked at Starbucks and she had Chocolate Frappuccino while I took the Chocolate Chip Cream. Chocolate Chip Cream not nice one, please do NOT try. L0L! We took a bus to Bishan and another bus to her place. She showed me around her area and it seems to be more happening than my area. =[ I sent her to her lift lobby before heading back for home! Yayy! I had a great time and I hope you did too! =] When we catching Ratetouille at AMK Hub? I can't wait! =] Saturday!! I met Dennis, Gavin and Weixuan and we went to Cineleisure because Dennis wanted to visit the EMO shop there: "Revoltage". L0L! The clothes there are quite cool man, especially the skull with the Top hat and the other skull with the shades. L0L! There was a discount going on and Dennis managed to get a Tee at $23! Man, I wish I had more money! We proceeded to Dolby Ghaut to meet Leonard before heading to Clark Quay. We walked around Central and I have to admit that place is a maze. The place is huge and some shops there are pretty cool too! Jeremiah came to join us and all of us headed for MindCafe! Yes! The highlight of the day indeeds! L0L! Basically, MindCafe is a place in Boat Quay where you can play board games. There were 6 of us, so we took the 6sixers package at $56 for 2 hours. It's quite reasonable because we could choose 5 drinks of our choice, 3 snacks of our choice and 2 munchies of our choice as well. We reached there at 5.15pm, but they only started the 2 hour count at 6pm! L0L! I think it's because they served us the food and drinks late. Let's see, we played Jungle Speed, Taboo, Express-It Guess-It, Jenga, Compatibility and I forgot the name of the last one. L0L! Nono, don't ask me to describe the games or this entry will be 20 pages. L0L! Jungle Speed Taboo Express-It Guess-It Jenga Compatibility I had a whole load of fun! Yes, I'm hoping to go back there again soon! FUN! FUN! FUN! After all fun and games, we went to Hooters for dinner before heading home. I was super tired after dinner and I didn't stay online till very late either. As for today. My plans were cancelled. How wonderful especially since it's the last day of the 4-day holidays that I do have. Oh well, I also cannot be bothered already anyway. Also, expected it. Here's the thing now, I'm always there when others need me, but when it comes to me needing someone, noone's there. Indeeds, every man for himself. Well, at least Newcastle's match is tonight! Woohoo! The new club I'm supporting against the club I used to support. Newcastle VS Middlesbrough tonight at 8.25pm on Channel 27! Alright alright, that's all from me! I'm going to play Football Manager! Yay! Oh no, VPP starts tomorrow! Guess I won't be so free for the next 5 weeks. Oh well, take care everyone! Have a great week ahead! =] "Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly." - M. F. K. Fisher

Yayy!
Hi. Exams are OVER! Yay! 4 days of holidays! -.-
So, Software Engineering paper was so much better compared to the previous paper. I hope I can get an A too. Well, hopefully all goes well! So check this out, Jasper, Weian and myself were studying in the school library today. We figured out that since the papers we are taking aren't testing our English, shouldn't we just write the keywords? L0L! Then Jasper came up with this way of blogging to blend all the words with the background except the keywords. So, the person reading will have to guess what the blogger is reading and he can highlight the text to see if he/she is correct. L0L! Don't you think that's a pretty interesting way to blog? Yeah, I'm talking about blogging like this! L0L! Don't worry, I won't continue to torture you guys. L0L! But to be honest, it's a pretty cool way of blogging right? Alright, so I’m hoping that I spend my next 4 days wisely and not waste a single minute of it. Well, I know Friday would be a wonderful day to come! TEEHEEHEES! =X Ok, word of advice to people who do not know me well. Do not come and disturb me when I’m EMO-ing especially if you aren’t close to me. It only makes me more frustrated. If I feel the need to talk to someone, I will know who to talk to. I also hate it when people keep pestering me by asking me why I’m not replying to their messages and stuff. It’s really annoying, seriously. Anyone feeling RICH? I REALLY REALLY want a Nintendo Wii. It’s about $500 and it looks super fun. Although I already have an Xbox, but Wii offers different games and the wireless controller is simply wicked. There isn’t a directional pad, so in order to turn right, you tilt the controller to your right. Uh huh Uh huh. I think racing games will be super fun to play on Wii. Nintendo Wii! Indeeds! Alright, things are better now! Yes, things are finally looking up. The month of August seem to be heading upwards now and let’s hope it stays that way. Hmmm… I’m hoping that my plans for the next 4 days remain intact. I can’t bear to miss a single minute of the 4-day holiday. Oh well, VPP starts next Monday and I guess there isn’t so much time for fun and games anymore. It’s time to get to serious mode and get started on my final year project. This PD thing will be the worst “module” to ever fail in my opinion. 5 weeks of VPP starting from the 27th of this month. Mondays to Fridays 8am to 5pm, please tune in to Class 6-3-8 to get your daily dose from Shawn. L0L! Yes yes, please come and visit me anytime if you’re feeling bored as well. =X I haven’t touched my Xbox for quite awhile already and I suddenly feel like playing Mortal Kombat Armageddon! Yeah! My favourite game! I know, it’s a little violent, but HEY! I’m a MK fan! I started playing Mortal Kombat on the old Nintendo, the one even before Nintendo 64. Mortal Kombat Armageddon is also on the Nintendo Wii and I get the feeling that it’s super tricky using the Wii controller to play. L0L! a fight scene in the game Sub-Zero, my favourite character! Know something? I feel like learning to play the keyboards and drums suddenly. L0L! I know how to play the intro of Where’d You Go on the keyboards! L0L! Oh well, we shall see how things go. Especially since VPP is starting and I won't have time for anything. =[ Alright, that's all for today! 2 more days! Yay! Take care everyone! =] "Never discourage anyone...who continually makes progress, no matter how slow." - Plato

updates!
HELLO! Yes 8 days never update already. 8 is a lucky number, so that's why I'm updating today especially since my CCA paper is tomorrow! L0L! Hmmm... I want to do well and get an A seriously. However, since my common test was pretty messed up, I have to get like 80+ for this paper? That's possible if the guidelines given are accurate and I hope they are. I really studied hard for this paper! REALLY! It's the Quality, not the Quantity! So... wish me luck yeah?
Ok, my excuse this time for not updating for 8 days is not because I'm lazy, but because of the EXAMS! Ok fine, I was lazy too. L0L! I was busy studying ! Oh well, tomorrow's my first paper and my second paper is on Wednesday. Damn, I hate Software Engineering, there's so much to memorise! If I fail that paper, then I fail the entire module! =[ On the brightside, I have 4 days of Holidays before VPP starts! YAY! -.- Damn it! 5 weeks of VPP from Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm. There goes 5 weeks of my holidays and I'm only left with 2 weeks of holidays after that. =[ See la... Who the heck says this month is going to be the BEST month of all. What a joke! It feels like I'm going to work for 5 weeks man. Oh well, what to do? Life like that... BUT I'm happy because Friday I'm going out with HER after HER last paper! WOOOHOOO! YAY!! LALALA! DOOODOOODOOO! I'm as happy as a cow! o.O So, where do we go huh? Today, my horoscope says... Instead of being mad at someone, connect with them. Find out what they meant to say. There couldn't be a better timing. *Sighz* If you do read this, which I'm pretty sure you won't, just know that whatever happens, happens. It sucks whenever something like that happens and it hurts because you are the closest to me. However, sometimes, the things you do are unbelieveable and it makes me think if you ever spare a thought about me. I'm always there when you need me, even if it means cancelling other appointments or even skipping school just to meet you. Then I stop to think... When was the last time when I called and said I needed you and you were there for me? Don't remember? Yeah, I can't either because you never did. You are always busy with stuff ALL the time. I'm not asking you to be there 24-7, it's like rarely when I call and say I need you, but you're never free. So... I cancel all my other appointments and even skip lesson once when you wanted to meet me, but you have NEVER done the same. Also, whenever we meet, it is always at YOUR convenience and rarely at mine. I never talk to you about these because I respect you fully. However, enough is enough. You told me once "A friendship works both ways". Is it really working both ways? I don't feel that way. Yes, I'm mad at what you did, but I'm more upset rather than mad. Did you spare a thought for me? I really don't know what has got into you? I missed the good times and the fun times. It hurts whenever I think about all the fun we used to have even at the airport. *Sighz* I did love and care about you a lot. I don't know how or what I feel right now, but I guess time will tell. I don't know where we go from here, but I just want to wish you the best in everything you do from here on out. Sorry. Take care. Well, I don't think I can go on blogging already. =[ Anyway, best wishes to all who are taking their Exams and study hard too yeah? Take care and god bless everyone including you. =] "Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age." - Chris Morley Backstreet Boys - Still I still need you I still care about you Though everything's been said and done I still feel you =[

National Day!
Hey! How's everyone? I think the month's getting a little better? Today's National Day, so Happy Birthday to Singapore! Damn! I still have to go all the way to school tomorrow to submit my CCA report. Well actually, I have to complete it as well because I'm only half done, so I guess I'll be heading back to school tomorrow around 9am? I also need to get started on my Software Engineering report which is due on next Monday. Exams are on the 18th and 22th. =[
Hmm... I guess I have to study tomorrow as well once I'm done with all those reports. Man, I hate doing reports especially when I have no idea what to write. I think my CCA report like 90% is all nonsensical nonsense. I haven't started on my Software Engineering report too, so I'm in trouble because that is 80% of the miniproject. I completed the Rational Rose diagrams, but I didn't really touch the actual application because it's only 20%. I did the layout of the forms and wrote only 10% of the codes? L0L! Man, 9 days of August just flew past like that. I hope that next time will go a little slower because I need all the time to focus and concentrate on my studies. Although I only have 2 exam papers this semester, but I'm struggling with both and I'm afraid that I will fail. I don't want my final year in poly to be screwed after working so hard for the past 2 years. =[ Oh, my desktop sort of crash. I don't know what happened to it, but whenever I on it, it has to do some setup thing, which takes pretty long before it can boot up. Anyone has any idea how do I fix it? I still want to use my desktop to download all the movies and shows! L0L! Oh well, I'm going to stop here for today because I'm going to try out the Fantasy Soccer on soccernet that Daryl recommend to me. L0L! Take care guys and have a great weekend! =] "Living is having ups and downs and sharing them with friends." - Trey Parker and Matt Stone "We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

november rain
Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone Everybody needs some time...on their own Don't you know you need some time...all alone I know it's hard to keep an open heart When even friends seem out to harm you But if you could heal a broken heart Wouldn't time be out to charm you Sometimes I need some time...on my own Sometimes I need some time...all alone Everybody needs some time...on their own Don't you know you need some time...all alone - Guns N' Roses, November Rain That song can describe how I'm feeling. It hits the nail right on the spot. I take back what I said about this being the best month so far because it's nowhere near that. After yesterday, I get the feeling that it's going to be yet another rough month. Am I in the wrong AGAIN to keep certain things to myself for the better? Why don't you understand? Maybe if you were there for me more often than you would. I can't even find the time to talk to you. You are always busy with whatever it is. Even if I do tell you my problems, do you actually care? Honestly, I do not know. You say you want to help by giving advice, but the "advice" you give aren't even called advice. With the kind of "advice" you give, I rather not share my problems. There isn't anything for us to talk about especially right now. It's always my fault anyway. Sorry for not being who you want me to be. I just want some time alone for now and away from all of these...

It's August!
Yay! New Month! Wooohooo! Yesterday was a good day and today is still alright! Yes! It's going to be a great month for me! I had a feeling yesterday that this month is going to be the best month for me by far. Yeah, so I'm excited to see what August has to offer besides Exams and Projects. Hmmm... I have a rough idea of why it's going to be the best month by far. L0L! Well, I shall not spill the beans yet.
Man, tomorrow is Friday, but I still need to go to school! Damn! Friday is suppose to be an off-day for me, but I need to complete my Software Engineering mini project. Well, I'm going to study in school tomorrow too! From Thank God It's Friday (TGIF) to Damn It It's Friday (DIIF). L0L! Kidding! At least I don't have lessons tomorrow, just that I need to seek the lecturer's help. Hopefully all goes well and I can finish my mini project as well as focus on my studies. =] Something happened today that kind of pissed me off, but I think about it and I just cannot be bothered already? Hmmm... I guess I've learn to let all this pathetic nonsense just slip by recently. It does concern me, but my true friends know who I am and won't listen to these kind of people. In my last post, I talked about judging me based on first impressions. Guess what I'm going to talk about today after that incident? Judging me WRONGLY after being my classmate for a year. Dude, how dare you? Obviously, you do not know me at all to say stuff like "You don't care about others already", "You are sour" and Blah Blah Blah. Hmmm... if you truly think that I'm that sort of person, then why hang out with me still? Maybe you should learn to grow up and mature a little yeah? =] Also, I HATE people telling me what I should or should not do. It's MY life, not yours, if you didn't realise by now. So kindly MYOB and stay out of mine. =] I really can't stand people like that. You are not my dad, even he doesn't tell me how to lead my life. You are not even my close friend, so who are you to tell me how I should lead MY life? There's a difference between being caring and being KPO. If you are trying to be "caring", you are doing a damn lousy job. Seriously, just stay out of my business. Ok enough. Tomorrow would be a better day! I'm going to focus on my studies from tomorrow onwards and I won't slack around anymore! That's my declaration. I think I need to get out of my house because I can't seem to hit the books at home. Last semester I didn't want to go out to study because I could focus at home better, but it seems different this time around. Hmmm... I think I'll just head to school or somewhere nearer to study alone or just with 1 friend. That is to ensure that I do not end up talking or doing anything other than studying. Oh! That day, Malbindar was telling me that there is this rather new ice-cream place at Holland Village, opposite Haagen-Dazs and close to Breko. He said it's pretty good! So... *drum rolls* Dear, would you like to go with me? =X Yes, you! You know who you are! Since you always stay up so late to read my blog, I bet you will be seeing this real soon! And you didn't reply my sms today. =[ ahahah. Study hard for your exams ok? Don't always sleep! =X I'm feeling super tired and sleepy right now. I don't even know why. My energy level has been pretty low recently and I think I should sleep earlier from now on! I need to wake up early tomorrow and go to school. Oh well, I guess I shall stop here for today then. Anyone want to go study on Sunday? Give me a ring yeah! Take care all and have a great weekend! =] "If an idea's worth having once, it's worth having twice." - Tom Stoppard "Then give to the world the best you have.
