yesterday: went to school and passed my netinfra.. 22/30! didnt have a score like that since sem 1.1.. missed the days of comprog.. haha! went to school in formal for the speech during public speaking..

during the speech, i was super nervous.. and i totally screwed it up =( lots of nervous breaks and stutters.. and to cap it all, i finished it short and not within the full mark time frame =( to relieve myself, went to shoot the rockamania opening with YaWen, Alexiel, and 2 freshies, whom names i've ceased to recall.. got lots of good shots.. i guess i kinda miss events (camps do NOT count as events)..

went to TM to buy tickets to Get Smart for today before taking cab back home..

Today: woke up at 8 and went for 1 and a half hours of wireless tech which i passed.. after that, went to cyber and slacked around doing nothing.. left for TM at around 3 and walked around till 4.40 before going to watch the movie.. the movie was quite good and really funny.. 4/5 popcorns as compared to 3.5 for Zohan.. next movie will probably be Hancock with baby..

sent baby home via cab after the movie, then took bus to plaza singapura to buy my camelbak.. i was looking for small sports bagpacks which i will then buy a reservoir to put in, but it turns out, most small backpacks didnt have the hole from which the reservior tube comes out from.. i went in with a budget of S$70 and ended up spending $167 on a Camelbak TrailBlazer with a 2 liter reservoir.. it was ment for hiking, but those that were for biking were too oddly shaped for me.. haha!

took an MRT home after that

7th month

Happy 7th Month baby~

woke up today at 8 and got to school at 9.. ASP was okay.. finished up and submitted the concept design.. today's APEL was with our new CP.. he's okay now that we got to know him better.. but not as cool as our old CP..

went back to cyber and had a stock check of the darkroom with Delia, followed by me emailing ruby photo for a quote on all the stuff that we needed.. spent most of my time at cyber doing nothing much..

went up to the darkroom to develop my black and white film from my vivitar.. most of the pictures were underexposed =( found out that Alfred and Delia's anniversary is also on the 25th (today).. LOL! happy annivarsary you two =D

went back home after school and grabbed my bowling equipment and then went for the bowling rolloff.. bowled lousily today.. only a 152 average.. no surprises as i havent bowled for nearly a month.. oh well..

on the way home, i accidentally stepped onto a group of red ants.. i didnt realise it untill i got bitten on my shin area.. by then it was too late and had ants all over.. got bitten on my leg twice, my back once, my stomach once, my foot once, and the back of my neck once.. damn ants..

first day of school yesterday.. bleargh.. ewebapps was totally boring.. begining to hate my letcurer.. very stuck up and haughty.. idiot.. had lunch with Josias, Delia and Alfred at mensa.. spent only 4 bucks! haha.. super happy.. save save save~

went back for classes and then back to cyber before going home for dinner

today, mobcomp was fine.. began on SQL.. so thats another programming language to add to my list.. LOL! went for lunch with Suan, LiuYing and Noel.. had Dory and a bottle of pepsi.. so thats 6 bucks spent today.. a total of $10 in 2 days! must be some kind of record for poly life! LOL! stayed at cyber doing nothing much.. went to the darkroom to help Sharon with her product shoot for awhile..

Dickson and Alvin were convinced by me to eat a huge wedge of cheese which Sharon bought from the supermarket for her shoot.. LOL!

OH YEAH! Person Y's reputation was totally destroyed today.. i was using cyber's laptop today when suddenly person X, someone i know, talked to person Y via his/her logged in MSN.. since i know person X, i replyed with a hihi.. but before i could tell X that i was using Y's account, he typed this: "I'm feeling sexy right now".. stunned, i called for those around me to see what just happened.. hilarity ensued when we continued the conversation.. the peak was when X asked Y: "are you wet"? LOL!

went back straight after emaths to finish up my ASP diagram

HAPPY 7th MONTH BABY GER~

my new favourite film! the Lomo X-Pro film (X-Pro to blue)



(Red HUMMER!)

woke up at 11.30 today.. didnt feel like going for bowling training.. so went for lunch with family at joo chiat, and then went to the driving range with my mum.. brought my camera along and caught shots of her.. had a light snack at the deck and then went home..

didnt do much at home.. watched Kung Fu Panda on my computer and found it to be so-so only.. Jack Black is funnier in person.. haha..

had home cooked mee siam for dinner and just slacked around till now

went to collect my slides yesterday.. total cost for mine and baby's was $41 something.. da bao-ed wanton noodles, then took 23 to school with a backpack full of overnight gear, and a sleeping bag..

helped out with the BPW and got to try the new 18-55mm VR Nikkor (a freshie had a D60).. its slightly heavier than my standard 18-55mm.. not to mention $100 more.. haha.. anyway, after the BPW, me, Sharon and YaWen went to shoot the LTC (leadership training camp).. it was PH's idea as he wanted us to pick up some stuff from it.. i went with my dream setup: a Nikon D300, MB-D10, Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G, and a SB-800 speedlight.. droolz~

the event was quite interesting.. Dickson had a segment to himself where he showed his photos from his OCP trip.. the shots were really beautifully taken and looked extremely professional.. oh well.. must be the 24-70mm f/2.8.. after the OCP talk, they all went into seperate groups according to their position.. so me and Sharon followed the secretary and vice-president group to their tutorial room..

after the whole event, the 3 of us and PH went opposite school to get some provisions to last throughout the night.. we had a small picnic at CC before going for a bath.. i had to bathe all alone in the guy's toilet, with the lights half off.. super creepy.. haha! slept at about 2.40 and woke up at about 7.40.. had breakfast and then went home.. after reaching home, slept some more, and then went to meet baby at bugis..

we then took a bus to the cathay to meet her brother and his gf to watch 'Zohan'.. a very funny movie, but i wouldent say it was worth watching in the cinema.. went for dinner at waraku at ECP where we saw a Rolls Royce Phantom parked outside.. sent baby home, then took probably the last bus home

woke up at 11.40 today, and had the biggest shock of my life thus far.. i was sleeping on my right side, and when i turned over, i couldent feel my right arm at all.. i tried moving my fingers and elbow, but it wouldent move at all.. totally freaked out, i picked the useless arm up with my left hand, and let it go, thinking that i could hold it up on my own, but it just flopped down uselessly.. i laid there thinking: "shit.. im screwed".. when blood went rushing back to the arm.. after 5 mins, i could move it again.. LOL! i was on pins and needles for the next 30 mins.. haha!

anyway, after the drama, had lunch, and received a call from Sharon who told me that i was supposed to teach the BPW today.. totally unprepared, i went to school, and did it impromptu.. turned out all right in the end.. after BPW, sent baby home, then went home..

lots of things on my mind right now.. did things without knowing why i did them today.. haha..

4 faced buddah

yesterday: woke up at about 11.30, and got to school about an hour later.. just slacked around at CC till about 4+ before going back home to drop off my bag, then to have dinner at the sports complex sushi joint with baby.. sent baby home after that, and then went back home

today: woke up at 10.30, and got to interchange at 12 to meet baby and Jing Ling.. had lunch at CS food court, and then sent baby to CDC for her BTT.. me and JL then went to triple D to process our slides.. collect tomorrow at 2, but i asked my mum to collect on my behalf so i dont have to pay =X

went back to school after that, and met baby there.. she passed her BTT!! hahaha.. sent her home after that, then went back home

back from thailand

im finally back from the land of tom-yum, great pineapples, and gender confused queers.. the trip was pretty fruitful.. bought lots of stuff, and shot lots of shots..

first day: woke up at 4, and flew off.. got there at about 9, and went straight to the hotel.. as our first day was free and easy, we went for steamboat near MBK before heading there to shop.. bought lots and lots of stuff.. found out that MBK has lots and lots of photography shops.. and ALL of them has the Nikon Trinity on display.. the building very nearly had to be cordoned off on account of all the drool flooding the whole of the first floor, and was about halfway up the 2nd..

second day, went down the river thingy and stoped at the coolestly named temple that does not come out of an indiana jones movie: the temple of dawn.. continued down river, and passed the floating market before going back to the bus, and then to dreamworld.. didnt play much, but got really wet on the grand canyon ride.. took a 2 hour bus ride to Pattaya after that and had dinner before going to the hotel.. we went out again to explore the nightlife, and it was really happening.. lots of hookers around.. LOL!

3rd day, still in pattaya, we went to coral island, which was supposed to be the highlight of the whole trip, but was kinda ruined because of the slight drizzle, and it being saturday.. the crowd was OMG man.. took a speedboat to the parasailing barge and went for a round before going to coral island.. played everything they had (jetskis, banana boat and water sking) but the underwater explorer thing which i went the last time i was there.. after going back to the hotel for a bath, we went to some rich guy's hill.. he had a display of cars which included like 2 ford GTs, no less than 5 ford Mustangs of different models, a couple of italian supercars, and 2 hummers.. he also had a mini zoo with lots of animals.. watched the thai cultural show and the elephant show before leaving for dinner, and then back to the hotel for more night time romps..

4th day, went to the usual stop at the jewlery factory, and then went to the tiger farm for more shows (crocodile, tiger and pig) before driving down to bangkok again.. went to the 4-faced buddah to pray, and for my case, shoot and shoot and shoot.. we then went back to the hotel for a free and easy session at MBK again before having dinner opposite the hotel.. took a cab after that to the upscale part of town to look around before turning in..

today, went straight to the airport and flew off.. reached at about 2.30, and baby was at the airport to meet me! super happy!! finally got to meet her after 1 and a half weeks.. she got me gifts from the land of weird accents, strong currencies, baguettes and art.. took a cab home after that, and slacked at home and had dinner at home also

hurrying a post before checking in..

im currently at the airport waiting for the whole party to arrive before going to check in. i just weighed my carry on luggage of my D300 body and grip, 4 different lenses, a flash, a tripod, a flash and my macbook with a few etc items.. total weight: 12.45KG.. LOL!

ok.. my party's arrived.. i'm going in now.. ciao!

woke up at 1.. went to school at 2-ish.. just hung around with Noel and Sharon till bout 3+ when we left to collect our clides from triple D.. mine turned out totally crap.. only 15 out of the 24 had details and out of the 15, i think bout 5 of them were any good at all.. the rest were all dark and grainy =(

wanted to go to pasir ris park after that, but decided not to because it was too late.. we were passing by a forest like thing on the way back to school on 23.. so we got off, and bashed through for abit of macro.. there werent many insects there, but it was really creepy with lots of foreign noise..

walked to the caltax, and bought some old chang kee stuff.. was given 2 free sardine puffs, which i gave to Alfred when we met him in school.. on the way to school, i actually dropped the front element of my converter.. so had to get a new one from dad.. oh well..

totally no mood to do anything at all =(

didnt blog for the past few days as they were more or less repetitive.. exams in the morning, and studying for the rest of the time.. met Jyuan every night at whitesands to study as well..

lots of stuff happened today, but im in no mood to blog about them.. in fact, the whole day, i've been just sulking around doing nothing.. mainly becauseeeeee... i wont be able to see baby for 2 weeks! sadness is engulfing me.. super sian lah.. hell has entered my life and is here to stay till the 16th..

woke up bright and early at 7.30 and got to the airport early to wait for baby to arrive.. had breakfast and 2 cups of coffee at coffee bean before going to row 3 to wait for baby.. hung around till about 11+ when they had to go into transit.. so emo-ed my way home via bus.. dad drove us all the way to sin ming for lunch at this place where he saw on the telly.. their 'kiam chye arh' is fantastic man..

went back home and slept from 2+ to 7 when i went out for dinner at the jap restraunt near the stadium.. then went bowling.. thought that it would clear my head, but ended up playing 3 games only.. just sat around staring into blank space till 1+ before going home

exams

woke up at 8 yesterday, and 11 today.. both days were equally boring.. had exams, and then studied.. netinfra was super easy, emaths and wireless tech was hard as hell..

met Jyuan at engine 2 at about 8 yesterday to study..

after the paper today, went to cyber to chill and slack till about 6.30.. we were so bored that we (Me, Noel, Dickson and Sarah) actually played dai di to pass time.. went for dinner at samy's curry before going to NSRCC to bowl a couple..

break tomorrow, then 2 more papers (ewebapps and mobcom) to go on thursday and friday

didnt blog yesterday as i was super tired.. haha.. studied for the most of today and yesterday.. was supposed to meet Jyuan to study at white sands, but he put my aeroplane.. so went to bowl with BowlTango instead..

today, woke up at 1.30, and studied.. watched Juno (finally) for a break.. i totally loved the show.. its one of those inspirational shows that actually got me going for it.. i really liked the story plot and how they hid the inspiration behind all the jokes and dirty humor

after Juno, rested abit, then went to whitesands to meet Jyuan to study.. somehow, i learn more with him in that noisy environment rather than by myself at home, with full peace and serenity.. haha! had mcspicy meal (upsized) for dinner, and then 3 apple pies, and a green tea mcflurry (dont buy it) left about 10.30
