Happenings
Never attempt ur ippt when u r not train/ready for it. That's what i've learnt today. Went to take ippt today w/o actually train beforehand. Ya, as expected, flung my 2.4... was 1 min slower than target.

Shall book it again in 1 months time.. n shall be prepared by then.. hehe

A bit kelong after ippt n on my way home... took the bus going in the wrong direction. Cos just happen that this 154 is just waiting at the bus stop when me n jeff were walking out, so w/o much thought, we just dash for it n board.

So bo pian, have to change bus at KAP, bukit timah. Well, meet a chio bu on board 174. Frankly speaking, i was stunned upon seeing her. Wearing a njc uniform, she was sitting at those seats facing the opposite direction which the bus is travelling. Aiya, duno how to describe her in details, maybe it's because of the nj uniform she's wearing n because her 'aura', somehow memories from jc days just flood back to my mind. A bus trip that is a reminiscent of the old days.. haha.. seems like i'm feeling old le..

Anyway, i was lucky to get a seat opposite her.. hehe.. so for the whole trip, i was literally staring at her ba.. think she's not wearing her specs, so think she couldn't see my face clearly.. n she slpt for most of the trip. Happy thing is that she alighted at the terminal, bad thing is, she went off in the opposite direction after getting off the bus. Haiz... nv mind..... really miss the days taking bus home from nj...

Trekking
Back from trekking again... this time is the nite one. It's so cooling to trek at nite... but other than that, trekking at nite is a bit more tiring than trekking in the day. Guess it's due to the urge to sleep when the clock strikes 12.. haha
Both the day and the nite recce trip were blessed with good weather, hope it will be the same for the actual precamps.. don't want to walk, drenched from head to toes, from macritchie to bukit timah..
Gonna to take my ippt this coming thurs.. siao liao.. anyway, dun have much confidence in it.. cos didn't even train up for it. Agreed to accompany ah jeff to take ippt b4 his bday, so have to 硬着头皮 and go book the dates lor.. hope the trekkings help in some way or another...hehe

Slpt for the whole of today.. initially wanted to go for tuition..but didn't make it. Went to call the caretaker in the end to ask for her help to tell the 2 new kids that there is no tuition today.. the first thing that the caretaker mentioned when i called is the centre membership fees.. haha. i cannot seems to escape from her 'clutches' everytime i get to her.. Heard from her that the management for the centre has changed and they are more strict on the membership issue... hmmm... shall c how it goes when tuition resumes ba.
Back to the 2 new students, ya, i'm feeling irresponsible on this episode.. hope both of them didn't actually go for tuition today lah.. hehe.. =P.. but haiz.. suan le... hope to get their contacts tat hopefully yeokie still holds and msg my apologies to them. It's due to some errors on my part ba.. left their contacts in the centre..

认输???
Still haven't recover from a tiring weekend.. as mentioned previously, went trekking, bash and precamp all over a span of 2 days. And there's more coming up this weekend lor.. shack wor..

DIP has been going on smoothly for the past few days.. managed to get the subsystem database working. The next step will be to test for connectivity.. erm, will be anticipating a headache over there.

Still haven't heard a thing from GIP yet, as in i haven't receive any confirmation from all the companies that i've chosen. Heard from GIP office that they had sent in the resume le, but haven't receive any reply as yet.. sian... feeling quite off.. dunno whether should prepare myself for an oversea trip or wat.. quite irritating...

Posted a song by 张震岳. He's one of my favourite artiste during my sec 4 n jc days. Like his soft rock type of music. I'm still able to relate to some of his lyrics even up till today.. =)

认输

长越大 原来单纯的快乐 巳不在我们身边很久
为什么 匆匆忙忙的出门 回到家面对电视发呆
不管下雨太阳 早就不会感动
盲目的在奔跑 累了也不知道
再多喝几杯酒 以为就是解脱
那答案是什么?
原来自已不聪明 原来什么都没有
原来应该了解的道理 现在才知道
原来输给了世界 原来输给了自已
原来错在不承认失敗 谁可以原谅我

DIP: Dumb and Irritating Project
Starting of DIP....it’s truly a design project… the innovation part mah…no comments.. haha..
It has been a tiring 2 days for me. I normally won’t stay in sch till past 5 during sch days, but this DIP had kept me in sch from 845 to 5+ for the past 2 days…

The good thing is that it’s not very mentally straining, quite slack in fact.. morn go there wait for instruction, afternoon early lunch, then after lunch attend some briefing then slack till times up…

Gotten database programming for my subproject. Definitely not my first choice, but somehow still ended up with it. Maybe it’s just like all other things, u’ll most likely met with events u least expected. Have a feeling that stress is slowly creeping up on me… hey, it’s holiday, but then… haiz… have to start from ground zero for database programming. Will also have to churn out something 5 weeks later. Possible? Maybe…

Guess the only good thing abt this DIP is that I’m attached with a good sup. No time restriction, me and my partner are entirely free to do what we want… very OTOT…. Well, hope this freedom will spur me into coming out with satisfactory results at the end of this project ba..

Recommended book at the moment: Digital fortress
Recommended movie at the moment: Kingdom of Heaven

Post exams blues..
First post after exams….. woohoo…. I’m enjoying extremely 颓废 life now….. hehe.. really eat slp play watch tv then back to slp again…. Been raining in the evening for the past few days, so did not have a chance to go and start training for ippt.. yupz, got to take it b4 I fly off to China… or else mindef will begin to bug me thru sms when my bday comes round the corner again. Spent part of Friday throwing my books and notes back to where they should belong….guess I’m not touching notes and stuff for the next 6 months le.. been wanting to do a lot of things during my revision period… but my mind seems to malfunction after the last paper… maybe let it break for 1 week ba, then maybe all the stuff will come back again…. Heard this song on radio sometime back, lazy to go find it till last fri, so here is it, dedicated to all those who are flying off this summer holidays… =)

陈绮贞 - 旅行的意义

你看过了许多美景 你看过了许多美女
你迷失在地图上 每一道短暂的光阴
你品尝了夜的的巴黎 你踏过下雪的北京
你熟记书本里 每一句你最爱的真理

却说不出你爱我的原因
却说不出你欣赏我哪一种表情
却说不出在什么场合我曾让你动心
说不出离开的原因

你累计了许多飞行 你用心挑选纪念品
你搜集了地图上 每一次的风和日丽
你拥抱热情的岛屿 你埋葬记忆的土耳其
你流连电影里美丽的不真实的场景

却说不出你爱我的原因
却说不出你欣赏我哪一种表情
却说不出什么场合我曾让分心
说不出旅行的意义

勉强说出你为我寄出的每封信
都是你离开的原因 你离开我 就是旅行的意义
