Have not posted for quite some time as sch work is really killing. glad that most of the heavy projects/assignments are over and done with and now it is time to move on to exam. somehow, i dun think i will do well this semester judging frm the status of my revision.

It was April 1st yesterday, or rather the day before and Aprils' fool day seems to have been just one normal day. I still remember when we were young, we would always play pranks on friends, such as telling him "you never zip up!" , "there's something on your back". We even tricked teachers by switching off the lights in the class to pretend we are not around, or telling the teacher that he or she has some to the wrong class. Back them, it was all these innocent fun that made life so good to reflect on. On to JC and army, somehow such pranks just stopped. I guess all of us grow up. Also, for the past 2 year (if i am not wrong), aprils' fool day fell on a weekend, so we don't have a chance to pull a prank on our friends or colleagues. So for the year 2008, it fell on a tuesday. I didn't try to fool my friend much this time round. Partly because i forgot all about it until at night. Tried playing a prank on yongchun but the outcome was nothing dramatic. It set me thinking, where has all the fun of aprils' fool day gone to?

i do realise that april's fool day is celebrated by many websites around the world. some papers will even have hoax news that are totally absurd and they will try to make you believe that it is true. i think ST did this before, or was it other papers?

this is what students in NUS tried to do..


Great freeze in NUS.






Wasn't much of a big prank, just reminds me of some flash mob thingy... and look at the people around them, they just pretend that nothing happened and they continued eating their food.


haiz.. where has all the fun gone to? if i am a lecturer, i shall play a prank on my students by telling them that i gonna give them a surprise quiz. sure to scare the shit out of some students.


a bit on last weekend. on sat, Prof Chang and Dr Lim treated geog soc to a late lunch/early dinner and games at pitstop cafe. played some really intellectual game which really tests one's general knowledge, as well as those 'boliao' shouting, grabbing violent games. i feel such games are necessary to bring out the fun in all of us. and we can get really violent when it comes to grabbing cards...


my scanner is lousy cause the colour of the photograph turns out to be very very bad.... i have this pic stuck onto my wall. haha.. i guess i gonna decorate this wall with more photos. After pitstop, we proceeded to xin wang cafe at marina sq to feast on more food, and to chit chat talk cock. i haven had such sessions in weeks and it was really a good time to let it all out, enjoy before starting on revision. i am go glad that i joined geog soc and hadthe chance to meet so many wonderful people. without them, life at nus for me would be very lonely, be it during lessons or after sch. more geog soc events coming up! all of us hang in there!

and not to forget ruth's party on fri. it was great to be able to meet up with some dd07 ppl. was a bit sian that not a lot of them came, but for those who were there, we did find ways to have our own fun. drawing and decorating cards like what we did back in danang, listening to abba songs and some old pop music like aqua's barbie girl. and yup, i have more or less decided to go back to dd08 this year. see if usp wants me or not. i was still struggling with the decision on whether i shld take on a project which i am familiar with or take on one which i know my working partners. i guess the experience of dd07 was the main reason why i choose dd08.



with the birthday girl. Happy Birthday Ruth!

ok. i should stop here. if not i can go on and on and on ................
