I was doing my transcript the whole evening and my ears are going to go deaf soon i guess. Blasting the recording on a headphone so that the speech will be clearer as i type. but for the money, i shall hang on.

Heard this song and radio and i searched for it immediately when i got home. It is 收藏 by 萧敬腾. After 一眼瞬间,now this is his first hit from his upcoming album.

No MV yet. Just a audio rip from radio.


Now all the kiasu ppl like me are all online checking out our results. Well, i am still a little little bit disappointed by this sem results. one word: stagnant. well, at least i did better than expected for methods.

so many things have happened in the past week. time just flies when one is so occupied with many things. at least for the moment, i am able to put down a few things in my head. I'm tired. I need a good break. I am learning to look at life from a new perspective.

Travel Blog

I was totally bored yesterday afternoon and suddenly, this idea came to me.

I shall start maintaining a travel blog. Since I gonna be travelling quite a bit this year, and hopefully in the years to come, why don't I maintain one to share my experiences and thoughts?

So the first Genting post is up here. Do give ur comments!

I am now blogging thru iPhone.i can't make an entry in the space below. Arch!!!!!!

opps. a big boo boo.. what i was playing with was not the iphone but the iPod touch. It looks exactly like the iphone but it does not has mobile phone capability (which was why i thought it was the iphone).

First of all, as with most apple products, the screen is really big and clear. While eliminating the keypad, it allows for the screen to be big without making the whole gadget looking enormously hideous. The wifi function allows one to access the internet in places with wireless network. It has no problems displaying most websites ( i am not too sure about other phones with such capability as i have not used them before) and being able to zoom in and out of the webpages and scrolling through the page by pushing the page around, this function is handy and so cool. Video function is as good as the ipod series.

Downsides of it. The QWERTY keyboard that appears on the screen is not meant for people with large fat fingers. I had so much difficulty logging into blogger.com and then making the above title entry. It would be good if a stylus is provided. Another problem that is present among apple players, no FM radio!


Though it is not the iphone, it does give a little sneak preview to what the iphone ill be like. Most probably I won't be rich enough to get this phone when it is being released in sg later this year. Well, I don't mind holding one such gadget if like say, someone were to give it to me free? I guess I just have to get used to the functions of this phone. My current phone isn't doing very well either. (battery is screwed). I shall wait and see if I should make such an insane investment in the days to come.

So embarassing. I went to tell the whole world that i used an iphone. argh!!!

and i finally got my handphone connected to my PC through bluetooth. haha..

after the fun filled 4D3N msia trip with geog soc, it is back to work work work....

so many things to settle... and i feel i have bad management ... really need to sort things out... manpower issues is bugging me now also.. danang side is still like.. unplanned... everything is still in a mess. argh!!! the urge of not leading is just so strong sometimes...

The tuition session tonight just slipped off my mind.. even though it was written down on my organiser. i feel really really bad now cause the poor kid waited quite a while for me.. then in the end have to cancel it... this is so not me!!!

I was thinking, if i am rich, i will just book a ticket online, then fly off to somewhere.... just disappear from this world for a little while..

sorry i sound so emo.... must be too many emo shots at geog cafe in malacca...

will be updating abt the trip soon..

It's has been a tiring, busy, fun two days after exams!

geog soc hosted students from the national taiwan normal university (NTNU) 國立台灣師範大學. Since my chinese has improved, i shall blog in chinese!

这两天的交流真的非常好玩!我在跟他们聊天非常自在,这或许是应为我常用华语与家人及朋友交谈。不过我讲的华语,算是新加坡式的华语,总参杂着英语。所以在跟台湾的朋友沟通是,我必须一直提醒自己要用纯华语,不然他们会听得莫名其妙。在文化方面,我发现我们与他们非常相像。我们吃的食物,穿的衣服品牌,看的电视节目,消遣活动,几乎都是一样的。所以在一起时有非常多的话题聊。他们跟我说,新加坡的物价比当地的贵很多。若我们到台湾,一定开心死,可以在夜市吃到肚子爆。


由于他们得做个专题作业,我和matthew(顺仁??) 带着我们的小组到了甘榜各南(Kampong Glam) 作实地考查。我们先到了马来文化中心(Malay Heritage Centre), 不过到了才发现他们到了下午三点才开门,于是我们便到附近的小巷逛逛。在这里的这些旧店屋,许多都被改成了非常现代化的商店,甚至有一些与马来文化没关系的商店。在Sultan Mosque 外的那一排商店,卖的几乎都是旅客的纪念品。而我也有机会踏进会教堂看一看里头到底是什么样。


各小组做完实地考查后,我们便到狮城大厦集合。享用晚餐后,我们便带着他们沿着乌节路逛逛。最终我们走到了义安城,在那里拍了许多的照片。我在想若明晚有空的话,可能会再跟他们到处观光。


我今年因该是没时间到台北玩,不然由他们带着我们到处逛,一定非常好玩。希望我能和这一群朋友继续保持联络。我这一次尽地主之义,真的希望他们玩得很开心,并希望他们会回到新加坡!

Yeah! It's finally over. I shall not think too much about results. To think godfrey tried to tell me my results today when i met him. He mentioned that "the 2 of ur did ok" when there were 3 of us standing there. I shall assume that i am the ok one. but what does ok mean? A bloody just pass?

today's LRT paper was such an enjoyable one. I enjoyed writing the essay although my hand do hurt from all the writing. Perhaps it is also because the paper is the last paper. a wide grin on my face when the examiner said "Time's up. Stop writing". went for lunch with geog soc ppl at vivo and then a long awaited K session at 10 dollars club in chinatown. It's gonna be my regular haunt in the coming months. $10 to K frm 2 to 7. free flow drinks! cheap!

now i am planning my activity for the holidays. may n june wld be mostly geog soc stuff. then it is on to cameron highlands and saigon. hope all the trips would eventually work out. I dun wanna be stuck in old boring singapore. hopefully, i can get a job for the remaining weeks as well. I like things to be properly planned out. so hopefully, all will go smoothly!

Seriously, i dun feel 'high' today even though my papers have ended. sadz...

I am now studying for LRT instead of SE paper tomorrow. how great this is... I do realise SE qns are all very generic qns and one just needs to know the main idea/concept of that particular topic.

And i hate evening papers!! one will feel shitty for the whole day till 7pm.. argh!!!




what a disaster presentation...

After my paper on wednesday, I have been behaving as if my exams have ended.. Reason? For LRT, i am almost done with it before exams started. for SE, haiz.. something is not good when the thought of "why the hell did i take it in the first place" pops up while revising thru the topic. Reading through the readings and realising that it does not have any link to the lecture content doesn't help much. Though lecture content are something interesting, (Note: is lecture content, not the lecture itself), i am consistently lost throughout the semester.

I am sleeping more than during school term. I cooked my lunch and dinner for my family. I even did household chores on friday. I just finished clearing up my desk and wiping off the dust that has been accumulated on my computer. what can i do now??

2 more to go!
