Need for speed

Yup, its been some time since I blogged... been really busy with school lately. Exams are like in 2 weeks time, I got a project due this week. Now my FYP group is starting a mutiny, we gonna ask for an extension for our interim report. The report is supposed to be due next week, but the heacy school load is dragging us down, and it seems that almost everyone is not ready to hand in the report just yet, haiz. And now even as I go into the last phase of this semester, I have yet to get that study feeling in me yet. Been trying to study as hard as I can, but it just doesn't seem to be working very well for me. Okie guess I shouldn't be blogging too long now, back to my books again. Good luck to me!

Plus one to your age

Been a few days since I last blogged, anyway I'll try to keep this short, just a little update of my super boring life. Well last week I had my nano quiz which I busted, this week I had a fluids quiz, which I think I did not do well also. Didn't really know what I was writing. Even with Joseph in front of me didn't help much, couldn't see clearly what he was writing on his script, haiz.

Well thats that, enough of the sad stuff. On to more happy stuff, last night went for our 101th drinking session at pool junction. It was Yvonne's birthday, so a few of cy's cousin's gathered there for a drinks session and celebration. And I had quite a bit to drink, we opened like 3 bottles of black label, 4 pints of Hoogarden, 3 flaming Lamborghini and 3 graveyards. It was perpetually crazy throughout the night. By the end of it, Joseph was down, think Yvonne was down as well. I was more or less down. Beng was also pretty down. The rest were probably on a high. Luckily there was Sean to bring me home. After I came home I just KO on my bed, without bathing. So I was like reeking with alcohol smell when I woke up in the morning. Got a bit of niaming from my mum, yup she probably could guess how much I drank.

Okok, I know I've said this hundreds of times. But I really gotta get my act together to study le. And again I say that this will be the last outing before exams (actually 2nd last, will be going with Jo, Yvonne and cy to movie tomorrow, haha)

Sad day

Haiz, just took my nano quiz... fail. Its quite demoralizing, especially since I really did put in a lot of effort in this quiz. In all my 4 years, I think I haven't put in this much effort to study for a quiz already. Been staying up late for a week at beauty world to study, memorizing as much as I can, but still.... haiz. How come like that ah?!?! Its not like I never study, or I didn't put in effort to read my note throughly. I really tried my best to understand the concepts and get the correct equations in my head, but how come the ending is always something that does not tally. In engineering terms we could say, amount of effort is not proportional to the grades or grades do not increase with amount of effort. In computing terms, it should be effort/=grades. Haiz, I also don't know what I am writing le. Just a bit sadden and down because of this. Although I was like acting like nothing happened, and was looking cheerful, but I was really really sad about my results. I know that I have a record of not doing well in MCQ papers, but I just don't understand why I can't choose the correct answers.... Haiz still searching for the answers...

Well, there actually some really funny photos taken last night during our study session at beauty world... will upload when I'm feeling a little better...

Shadows of the tiles...

The first sign that I've been playing just a little too much mahjong --- dreaming of mahjong tiles. Yup, thats me, I've been playing so much mahjong lately, I think I'm not getting enough sleep, haha. And when I slept this morning, I was dreaming about mahjong tile. I've played like close to 10 times last month, a new record for me. But again I gotta remind myself that it will be the last entertainment for the year, will have to really settle down for studies already. A lot projects are due soon, will need some time to clear all of them.

Today only slept like 2 hours, then I was awaken by a sms. Basically I messaged my 2nd aunt to see if she has a jumper (because my car's battery went totally flat, and I really mean totally) so that I can try to start my car. So she replied me at 11+ to say she didn't have one, and then I messaged aunt susan to ask if she had one, she immediately called me to say that she has one, but it might not be enough to start my car (because it is quite a small jumper). She told me that she has to fetch Nic to school, so she'll only be able to come at a about 1.30 or so. I was totally alright with that (in fact that was great because it means that I can sleep for another 3 hours). But just 5 mins later, she called me to say that my 2nd uncle is already on the way to my place. So I went to the carpark to meet him. When he came, I was like - whooopie, finally can start the car and can go home and sleep. So he connected the jumper to my car and I tried to start the car, and.... it didn't start. And I tried again, and..... it still didn't start. It just doesn't seem to be charging the car. So we tried to push the car down a small ramp.... didn't work. And we tried pushing it down another ramp.... still didn't work. Haiz, so we went over to Shell and got someone to charge the battery for me. The guy came and tried charging the battery, and..... it still couldn't work. sianz. So he removed the the battery and brought it back to the workshop, of I stayed back to look after the stuff. Because I didn't bring my wallet, I went home to get my wallet. When they came back, the technician brought a new battery and installed it into my car and it worked. Now my uncle was on the phone, so I was thinking, in case he wanted to pay for me, I just be a step faster than him and pay the technician before he puts down the phone, so smart hahaha! And when I was just about to ask the technician how much was the cast, my uncle puts down the phone and tells me," Later you drive the guy back to the workshop, I gotta go to office already, and anyway I already paid the guy." I was like... WHAT! After all my planning he was still a step faster than me, shit! So bo bian, I drove the guy back and then put the car back to ah ma's place. After I reached home, told my mum to pay Aunt Susan. And settle the bills with them...

Will be meeting cy, Beng and Sean again tonight, not for mahjong but foe studies at airport... Hopefully will be able to clear some stuff tonight.

Steamboat

On Sunday, which is the last day of our term break, my project group once again decided that we'll have a streamboat for dinner, after our meeting. We decided that we will hold the celebration at Shih Huan's parents' warehouse at IMM.

I actually found the warehouse pretty cosy. Surrounded by organic food imported from Taiwan. Yup we went to Giant to buy our stuff 1st, grabbed alot of stuff, it was as if it was free... In the end, our bill came up to $144.... hahaha

Of course everything went very well... other than the soup (because cy didn't put enough of the chicken cubes into the soup, so it was pretty bland)... But the biggest problem was, we had too much food... after finishing about 1/2 of what we had bought, we were already full. So we did the smartest thing, we started playing 恐怖数字. Basically, one person will think of a number between 1-99, and the rest will take turns to guess a number. As the game progresses, the range of numbers will get smaller and smaller and whoever strikes the mystery number will have to forfeit. And our forfeit of the night was ----- a bowl of food (filled to the brim).

We had great fun playing the game, although everyone was already super full, we still had to gorge ourselves to finish the forfeit. I lost like 3 times, so I had to eat 3 bowls of food. The biggest loser was probably Beng and Bi Wei.

After we managed to finish like 85% of the food, we packed up and went over to cy's place for ---- yes you've got it, mahjong!... Another thing that I've been doing a bit too much lately. But I must really thank my lucky stars, because I've been pretty lucky with mahjong lately. That night I was like the sole winner, I took back $21... So I just hope my luck won't run out so soon... hahaha...

Oh yah before I forget, just now when I was driving home, I saw Mars!!!! Yup, i remember I did see in the news that this week would be a good week to view Mars. But it was really unexpected, because I saw it while I was driving. It was super obvious, and super big, bigger than the size of the moon. It was like red in colour, and you can only see 1/2 of the planet, but it was sooooo cool. Wanted to take a photo, but I was driving. So I thought that I'll park at the top level of the carpark so that I can snap a picture of it, but it was covered by some blocks infront. Sadz, nevermind, hopefully I'll still be able to catch another glimpse of it tomorrow of something, I'll prepare my camara, hahaha.

okie its pretty late now, think I better sleep, still have to wake up early for school tomorrow, sianz. Will blog when I'm free, nitez!

Yet another drinking session...

Yes yes, I know I've been drinking a little too much lately. Gotta control myself! Well but this time round (actually it was just the next day), I went to pool junction with cy and Ying Xin. Ying Xin wanted to show us her 水母头, so we went to see how 'great' she looks... hahaha... Basically this time we finished up the 1/2 bottle that we left there the previous night, and on top of that the boss helped us to make this gin cocktail, which none of them liked (because they don't like gin, well neither do I), so in the end I drank up that cup. It was actually pretty strong, but its just the gin that I hate. After that the boss made another strawberry cocktail for the lady, which was pretty good, typical ladies' drink. Well for the men, he made this drink for me, which was supposed to be about 1/2 the power of what cy had for his birthday (cy's drink that night was about 75%, so I guess mine was 37.5%). That drink was alright, nothing too special, actually taste almost like our normal liqour + mixer thingy. So I conclude that the boss is only good at making ladies' drinks. Because most of his ladies' drink actually taste pretty good, but not the same for what he whipped up for the men. hahaha. But after those, he came over to join our table for some games, and he brought with him a glass of hoogarden. So that eventually became our forfeit. Think by the end of it, we had like 2 cocktails, 1 glass of special liqour (for me), and about 4-5 glass of hoogarden, and the boss only charge us like $38... pretty insane, don't know how he's gonna earn like that.

Oh yah, on top of the drinks, we also took a lot silly and scandalous photos... hahaha. I only have a few with me, the super scandalous wans are with cy, think I gotta steal from him before he passes them around, wahahaha.
