flashback of 2008 and happy new year!!!

Well, when I think back what happen to me in 2008, it was totally surprising and at least, I won't regret what I had done to myself, to my friends, my newly known friends, and of course my family.

January - The school reopened and I was hired as temporary teacher. I was happy and quite frustrated at the same time. Because, I faced the kids again. But, I told myself to handle it in a proper way. Better than in Anglo Chinese perhaps!!! At the mean time, I started to give out news to give tuition to students. This was so terrible for me to wait wait and wait.......

February - The last day I in Chung Hwa...I had to do overtime, but nevermind, I also wanted to do it to earn more before I left. Meanwhile, still waiting for tuition students!!!! Oh ya, application to the local universities already in the progress...thinking of which uni to get in...

March - A big surprise in my life....I got the best shot in my results in STPM..well, sure proud of it and I had nothing to do with that besides celebrations!!!My other friends also got the good results...They were so nervous and scared of can't!!!But, at last, they got it!!they did it!!!So happy and proud of them!!!And with this, I applied Singapore's two famous uni's...NTU and NUS....see who will get me...

April - May - Shell scholarships interviews and NTU's reply to me....I was so happy of NTU's reply because I could think of study overseas!!! Although is called "overseas" Yeah..so ironic that , just take a bus from JB already cross over the sea!!!
Shell scholarships asked me to go to Miri (on a free ticket there)....so, I went there with Chang Sin Yuen...Well...Ok!!!!Till now we still haven't get the reimbursement from SHELL!!!! SHIT!!!
My birthday....in Vegas...Damai restaurant...I forgot how I celebrate already..I just remembered that we gathered and had dinner together..My friends gave me a bag..(branded).. I can't forget those things....well juz the way I forget...

June - Making application to UK universities after the interview..thinking that big possibilities to get there..Eventually, after the announcement, Shell Scholarship for Sabahan made me disappointed and I made my decision to go to Singapore right away!!
till now...there is still no reimbursement!!!!

July - Parents, bro and me went to Negeri Sembilan to settle down my bro there...because he studies there ...architecture ...well, quite professional....and high quality!!!After that, we went to Singapore after settle my brother down...
end of july, I went for the orientation activities in NTU.....making friends and surprisingly, met my old friend there!!!

August-September- Friends circle becomes more and more and with my own personality...I made many friends there and I'm happy to study there...although not as good as ah Chang, study there without any burden at all!!!!

October -November - Exam period at the end of november made us all crazy studying..
Had nothing to do but study!! study all the time...and not forget to play at the same time when study till boring!!! playing basketball...and find some one to talk about..It was a great moment to have!!!

December- Most of the time not at home...it's not that good actually...Play and did not earn any money made me think of working in holidays and not going back to KK next year....Well, just think...don't know what will be in the future...

Happy new year dude!!!

Wishes- Good health...
Good results....
Good relationships....
Good work....
Good Job........for everyone!!!!!

A bunch of fire (motivation) in my heart!!!

Just check my results and it's not what I expected!!!
Physics - A-
Chemistry - B
Mathematics -B+
Econs - B
Lab - A-
Effective Com - B
Sound - A-
Computing - C!!!!!

Shit that damn computing!!!

Well, there's fire burning in my heart now..
Motivation comes...
When you fall very deeply and here comes the motivation..
Finding the greatest plan to get myself out of the swirl of the damn!!!
Well, next semester can S/U already, finally can use S/U option..
So, maybe ok a bit..

the most important thing is to cope life science!!!n mathematics 2!!

Not happy, not sad neither...Just have a bunch of fire in my heart!!!

Feeling of lost....Since that day....

Feeling loss in the middle of sea of people...
Finding for guidance...


Suddenly, eyes open and see myself in the rain...
I monologged myself...:"When should I have a chance to have a partner!?"

Lost in the feelings....Studying is not the solution...

Though some of my seniors are lucky enough to have another part accompanying them, for me, not important now..

From now on, even a lost in feeling makes me a big failure in life..Being adult really suffer and torturing me!
I really want to have a person who understand me, knowing me well at here...
By my side..

Studying not only just a way to avoid, is another way to make myself numb..numb with the happenings around you..

What happen to Malaysia? No one knows....What happen to Obama? I just know that from The Star!!

Numb....Feeling lost...Like an ugly duckling lost in the jungle and want to find the way home..But, my lost of feelings are not want to go home....I'm not quite sure..

Sometimes, people need to get around each other and knowing each other to get know each other..

Because of gathering, we know each other...Because of grouping, we understand each other...Because of same target and mission, we know more each other..Because of lost in direction, we guide each other and know each other...
Because of feeling sick to Can 2 food, we cook together and will know , "Oh, rupa-rupanya, you also can cook?!"

Well, this week, I had a very suffering week...Due to CAs, due to next week's final exam....Last 2 days, I can't even sleep at night...I thought I really stress till can't sleep...To my surprise, I also reacted to tea!!!I forgot that I also react to tea!! Tea and coffee have caffeine , and I can't sleep just due to these chemical substance...

After FOA, we played angel and mortal...My angel and mortal, I want to know them...Especially my angel, I don't even know who is she? I really want to get to know her....So curious and so mysterious...I really curious and I suddenly have an instinct(chong dong) that I want to ask her for a dinner!!!

Exam is coming..This blog is typed suang also..I just want to get myself relax and want to fa xie ....hopefully, my friends, good luck in exam..

Time flies so fast and never say good bye to us...He wants us to get ourselves back to our business while we are wondering..."why time passes so fast?"
Recently, got a friend asked me about the NTU stuff since she wants to get into here...I told her, not really an easy thing because here, is full of challenge and especially, business school is hard to get in....Well, hope she can get into here also..to fight together...

Time passes fast until now is the time for us to study seriously...Time laughs at us..saying "I am stupid, I still blogging while others studying damn hard?!!"
Shit!! Ok..Time, you're out...According to Suki, if not mistaken, he said, now, earth got 25 hours a day..So,what? 24 hour is not enough for me now..I believe most of us, also complain about lack of time...

Doing econs and computing are most suffering things for me...Econs still better than computing..
Anyone can tell me,:"Computing can S/U o not?"

Stress really makes me can't sleep well.. Previously, I can dream, dream well at night..Now, even one dream also never floating in my sleeping..Why?!

Sometimes, older the people, the lesser you dream...I admit that, I have been old already...Since that day...

Long time no blog!!

It has been a long time that I didn't do anything to my blog.

Because recently really busy with my test , my work...Well, it was not easy in my test and I really clumsy and did a few stupid mistakes. Hence, I don't know whether I can get a better results : that's what I expect!! But, see how it turns out next time when I receive my results slip.

Surprisingly, time passes so fast and I didn't know that now already end of October.Final exam is around the corner and I still have doubt in computing--> the worst subject for me...the others still ok...Sound-->clumsy mistakes makes me have a bad grade and it had been proved in test!!
Chemistry-->My strong point...Physics--> still ok....Mathematics-->depends on luck..
Can't comment too much on effective communications-->it is too subjective!!
And not least Econs-->still alive even though I study so hard to get 16 out of 20!!

NTU's ranking drop!!
I not surprised at all...This is not a standard measurement to rank a university at all...There is no such standard thing but we refer to what it had been published.
77...still not bad, but compared to last year, it dropped significantly.
Compared to others unis in Malaysia, unis in Malaysia has been drop, drop and drop in this few years and making the government has no choice and no ideas about what happen to the unis in the country...

Well, think about it and sure can use your idea to help them!
Hahaha..

Lastly: I want to cope my computing!!!I don't have clue at all...hopefully what had been told by willie will give me any inspirations.....


Wish all the best for us in final Exam!!Gambateh!!!

Professor Yang Chen Ning....Honorary Doctorate by NTU

Today, is the day for this man....one of the wise man in last and this century, to be given a name of Honorary Doctorate from NTU....

For those who do not have any idea about him, he was the Nobel Laurette in Physics 1957...Long time ago, haha...that's the year when Malaysia was born....

Ok....I admit that I also not really understand what he contributed but at least I knew that, he was a Nobel Laurette...hahaha...

Today, I am the usher in the event and for the 1st time , I saw the great ceremony being held in the Nanyang Auditorium!!!! Dean Of Student matched onto the stage with style and carrying the cokmar what we called in malay....

And then, I also witness the ceremony of the honorary doctorate where Prof CN Yang was crowned as that post...

I also 1st time listen to the national anthem of Singapore...Nice....Anyway, I can't compare it to Malaysia's national anthem....

And then, I also eat the greatest hi-tea in my life....for free...of course, I was working there just now....standing over 2 hours for ushering...
haha

I think that's all for this time...

Events...Non-stop!!! But, meaningful!!

Ok...Firstly, start with my job scope as logistic cum technical support crew. That's during AMCISA MAF and I as the technician from Chinese Society, was needed to settle the PA system...Haiks...this was captured during the free time while waiting for the people coming back from the games session...


What we were doing there was the laboratory session..We studied the moment of inertia of the whole system..Well, sounds easy but it easiness made us suffer for 6 hours to just deal with the discussion and the graph plotting. I thought was just spending my half an hour to do it.Who knows, 6 hours!!! And eventually made me skipped the econs lecture...sorry Prof...it's accident!!


Jun Shiong still managed to laugh while doing this lab report...Well, we were really tired at that time...take a break and smile!!!


Other groups were also doing their stuff while waiting for the next turn for them to do the next experiment.


My first site visit...Is not a real site visit... In fact, it is World Water Monitoring Day...Is a very good learning platform for me in order to get nearer to the water resource industry in Singapore...


One of the so-called HDB, apartment or housing in Singapore..
Quite uniquely designed!! But, I prefer the one in The Peak!!!
Haha...


It's me again...Near the Kallang River bank..I think is Kallang River bank as it has many names to call...Kolam Ayer Project..what else?
haha...Forget..But, interesting!!

Reflection of HDB....The water there is still considered nice and clean...So as our assumption is quite accurate that eventually we did an experiment to test the water sample.

Bridge above the river...It's specially designed...and I am very appreciate that kind of arts...haha...


We gathered at the floating platform to wait for more information from the organisers...CEE club!!I love U!!


Remember what I studied since primary school, I still can seek this piece of memories that Archimedes screw is like that...Well, it's rare to see it...


All of us were trying to "exercise" ourselves by playing the screw and it was a really good piece of design...
I meant the river banks idea...


Another device to intro....this one is well known in some place in China....to pedal the water up and to make wine or something else....I forget already...


Rubbish trapping device...is used to trap the floating rubbish and minimise the debris perhaps...ultimate objective---> to make the river cleaner!


These are some of the reagents and testing tube to test the water sample...
Fortunately, the water all we collect is safe for use!!
Because Singapore lack of fresh water, and depends on the resevoir only...Hm...perhaps, environmental Engineers have a very good prospect in this field!!


Yih Keng was dealing with the water...Testing it...and find the pH...DO....and temperature...and the clearity of the water...


Others also work hard to find the resutls...


Playing with the test kits...Haha..
I mistakenly test the pH with the DO reagent...But, nevermind, still consider to test the DO instead pH...

Hahaha....

What an excited week I had....But, unfortunately, I skipped a few lectures and tutorial....Really have to sorry to profs....

But, anyway, I will catch up with you guys in the lecture and tutorials....
Cya...

Bluffing...No mood

Great!!!

Suddenly not in the mood!!! Why?!

I don't know and I won't go to figure it out...
Now already at midnight and I still can stay awake to blog..

It has been 9 weeks in NTU and 3 months in Singapore.....I really miss my friends and family. But, anyway, I need to be strong and tough in handling every single challenge!!

No mood...why?

No reason...this has not happen to me for a long time..I have no idea and perhaps some of my buddies will know...

Maybe, I was always forgotten by someone....


But, forget is to release the bad things in our soul...Remember is to cheer our spirit!!!

Here we go again!! Start from a new chapter of life!!

NTU gives me a lot of space to develop myself...and can find good friends here..
So, I never regret of getting into this university...
I also not forget to thank my teachers in KKHS...

Hey, Terence, if you want to come to Singapore, remember to choose NTU , and don't go for A-level...
haha...
Just a recommendation...

Ciao..

Communication skills vs Brain Skills

Create something new from the mind?!

Oh....Sorry, I don't have that kind of creativity...

Ok....A thousand thanks I want to convey to Lun Ming because I was recruited into the MUSIC EXPRESS competition as Business Manager!!!

Thanks a lot for giving me a great chance to learn something new than logistics!!!

And thanks to MAF because let me to celebrate Mid Autumn Fest in the place other than Malaysia and giving me a new and warm home here.

Well, for business manager, I really have to improve my communication skills.

According to one of the lecturers ,
communication skills is the one we need after we graduate!!!
this is no doubt and is true!! The thing we always do is the one that deals with our future career!!
As a joke: There was a guy and his friend in the church. One of them wanted to smoke in the church. So, a person asked his friend:" Is it ok to smoke in the church?"

The friend was doubted and he asked him to go for the Priest. And that person asked:" Father, can I smoke while I pray?" "Of course cannot, you are in the church, my son!"

Then, that person referred back to his friend. His friend said:" You asked in an inappropriate way." So, the friend went to ask the Priest again: " Father, can I pray while I smoke?" "Of course can..."


=.-" Well, that sure annoying someone who used the sentence wrongly.

Communication skills are very important nowadays for the future employers to employ a person. To see a person whether is useful for them, is to value them from the view of communication skills and of course the fast turning brain....

Workaholics are also encouraged to be like that...That's what the employers probably will hire someone like that....

Hopefully there is something useful this time...hehe..


Ciao....><

Hey, I saw a shooting star!!!

I really tired after the discussion of our effective communication.

Yih Keng, Jun Yang, Xiao Yang, Zao You and me were gathering together to discuss this assignment. Well, it was a really smooth progress. But, I hope when the tutor gives marks, I hope she can be a very generous woman because we did this things very difficult.

After that, we went back to our hostel respectively. I walked with Jun Yang, a funny guy. As we walked along the corridor, I looked upon the sky.
Seeing the "dark" sky which is not considered dark in Singapore, this is due to the light pollution by the light around the factory and the building itself of course.

Don't know whether is a coincidence or not, when I looked up the sky, I saw a shooting star passing through the sky. I saw it!!! I saw it!!! I finally saw a shooting star!!!!

Wau...However, stupid me did not make a wish when I saw the shooting star. I just stunned at that moment and I closed my eyes but I don't know what to wish?!!

I think if I wish it right now, I think is still valid? is it?
haha.....

Wish: I wish I will have a partner soon....
haha...just kidding with that...

I wish to graduate early and meet my family soon!!!!

Celebrating Mid Autumn Festival In Singapore

I am going to celebrate Mid-autumn Festival in a place different from my hometown. It's weird because no family celebrating with me, plus, I will also celebrate the Chinese New Year in here...Sigh, no angpao money!!! Can't visit those teachers!!
Last night was the Mid autumn Festival organized by Chinese Society in NTU.
It was totally different from the one organized by KKHS!!!
Let's see what happen that night!


Celebrating Mid Autumn Festival is my favourite event every year. I can spend my time with my family and friends even can share some moment of joy with me!
The candles here represent the hope and the wishes of every people. haha....I invented this line, so it's copyright!


But, before the MAF is well progressed, it's all depends on us---> logistics!!
HAHAHA.... We moved all the chairs, tables all the way from the Nanyang House (The highest point in NTU besides SAO) to the Yunnan Garden!! At that time, we just used a van to move all the things!



What a mess in the van!


Thanks to our beloved logistics leader, Yuan Siang. He is perfectly cool person and can manage all the things well. I am happy to meet him and work under his order.


And I will not neglect this person, Chen Kai--->driver of the van. He is a good man too. Helpful!! Well, we, logistics are the best!!!


At the other side, this is a group of programmers in photo taking. They were doing their acting part in the MAF.


The time had come.....Behold the MAF!!


The chairs were well arranged by us...of course...logistics!!


The situation in Yunnan Garden. This is the place where MAF organized.


We, logistics still have to play our part in PA system.


Man Shan took part in playing "Chang Er" in the play.


The programmers were enjoying themselves at the backstage!


Before that, there was a lion dance for the opening ceremony.


SEE.....PEOPLE MOUNTAIN PEOPLE SEA!!!


This one also like that....PEOPLE MOUNTAIN PEOPLE SEA!!!


Situation in the MAF.....it was a great event I ever join now. Before that in KKHS, I think there's something missing in the MAF. Now, I realize, it's maturity in arrangement!


Big Success!!! Come on!! Group pictures!!!

This is dedicated to my family and friends who are not beside me...I want to thanks them a lot...Thank you very much...
And, thanks to my cousin in Singapore who gave me a mooncake to celebrate this meaningful Mid Autumn Fest!

Ciao

It has been a busy week afterall....

I did not cut my hair since I arrive at Singapore!!! That's 2 months ago when I recently go and have my hair cut..What a long time!!


After haircut, it is always the most comfortable but it costs me $10 to have one hair cut....Really expensive!!



You know what ? At here, I learn something new!! Totally new to me and other people.
The musical instrument I holding is a chord, harmonica type instrument. The frequencies are very different from other harmonicas...
This is the 1st time I manage a musical instrument!



We had our lab session!! It was a quite interesting session. But, it was not as easy as we think. Because all lab instruments are new to us!!


This building looks familiar right??
Actually, for those who don't know it, it looks similar to my ex secondary school!!
One of the building in my ex secondary school....the IT building I mean..
KKHS ah...


Inside the lecture hall, this lecture hall can accommodate a big number of students. Mostly can be seated because it is too big to me. And then, sometimes it cannot afford to locate the students accurately--->too big!!



My "handsome" look in lab attire! =P.....haha


Well, recall what I just say, this lecture hall is too big..Can accommodate about 800 people like that...Just a rough estimation..

Well, I will post more things around.
That day I paid a visit to Carol..Poor her, she hurt herself during the rainy day in Singapore. Haiks....
The leg was scratched! And now, she is ok of course!
wELL, take care , carol!!


Ciao!

My memories till now!

If I have a choice,

I am willing to go back to the childhood...
Because there was my sweetest memories which were exclusive, and never possessed by anyone else....

My memories,

are the best in my life....

Memories could be sweet, sour and bitter. It has different tastes and it teaches us how to be a better person indirectly...

Recall what I have remember last few days, that was when Augustine sent me an email which consists of our childhood things...

E.g.----> the erasers which have the national flags, the video games, the toys, the bubble things....all of these, have been buried deep in my memories till he reminded me of these childhood things...

Time passes so fast that I didn't realize that I am 20 years old now...and this is my 5th week in NTU....

I learn many things besides study...playing, making new friends and becoming subcom are the newest things I have gained in this period...

"It is truly rewarding experience," quoted by the Ex president of CEE school....

In fact, it is really a rewarding experience....I never made my life so colourful, even I studied in Form 6 last time, I also can't gain anything like that...

Sometimes, I miss my family and friends back in KK....This feeling is weird but is true that I really miss them, so much...

Memories in primary school:
1)I made new friends, one of them, is Ah Seng... He currently studying in the same university with me...weird....but, is fate that he and I encounter once more to study together, do things together...and make life more beautiful!!
2)He left me, flying to Kota Kinabalu without any information to contact to...that's during way back to primary 2...end of that year...
3)I managed to get average results in UPSR, is ok for me and at that time, I don't know what is the real satisfaction!

Memories in Secondary school:
1)End of Secondary form 1, I moved to Kota Kinabalu due to father's job.
2)Studying in KKHS, was my honour to study in that school...
It gave me a lot of sweet memories(though during Tiong Hua also the same things happen)...
3)Form 2-5, I knew Shin Yi, Keh Yee, Carol, Jonnerson, Willie, Ka Yee, Yoke Tin, Ah Chang, Wong Yii, Mansana, Marilyn, Yee Mei, Juin Yi, Corrine, Francis,and many more, and not least Sing Jia Cheng...
They are my colours in my life at this moment...
4)Didn't get the expected results in SPM, Damn it!!But, luckily there's a bunch of friends to support me...
5)Form 6: Wai Peng, Wai On, Liew Mao, CFC, Sieh Lou, Paul, Tai Thau Loong, Chu Yung Jeh, Mandy, Jonathan, came into my life...and made my life more colourful and more tastes...
6)Score the most beautiful score sheets to school and myself in STPM...
7)Knowing my sis's friends also helped me a lot in gaining experience in how to handle the students' attitude....I was a part time teacher after I graduate while waiting for my UNI results...
8)Eventually, I did not go to local Uni, I chose NTU...I believe, here is another KKHS which I had my sweet and sour and bitter memories here...
9)I left my loved ones in KK.....(Friends and family)....I came here and start a new sheet of my life....

NTU life:
1) Here, I can start my new life and make new friends. Of course, I also manage to contact my old friends....and the teachers also...
they laughed when I called them, maybe I am silly enough to call them back because it costs much!!! I want to hear their voice instead!
2) Making new friends is not an easy process...I have to study their behaviour, and try not to make them annoy...that's how effective communication came in handy!!
3) Girls in NTU is not that hard to find one, but to find the real one for your another part, be aware...Just Be aware!!
4)Damn it! The study here is difficult!! I have to cope it myself...But, with the help of the seniors, I now suit to the life of UNI....
5) I encounter my old childhood friend, Ah Seng in NTU....
He was my class monitor in primary school, and was the top student!!Now, the aura is still there!!I enjoy seeing him back in my life!
6) Teacher Lee Chew Hong's son is also same course as me!!!
7) I have to manage my finance myself..though it's tough!!!


Well, memories in my life till now is just a fragment of it...maybe next time, there's a lot to say about...


Hope you guys out there can take good care of yourself.....and remember, memories...teacher of our history!!

Ciao!
