Flashback 2010

I can't remember anything because too many things happened in the beginning.
I can't recall what really happens this year and I feel that I am unable to do like what I did past 2 years.
Anyway, I remembered that I went to Tioman with friends for the 1st time and also Penang for the 1st time.

A great experience from both paradises. Food Paradise - Penang ; Relax Paradise - Tioman 

I ate a lot of delicious food in Penang, there were too many to describe as I ate for 5 days in Penang.

Asam Laksa, the prawn noodles, Butu Mayam, Rojak, Char kuey tiao etc..

Then, I also went to KL to relax after working non-stop for 3 months. I asked my supervisor to allow me relaxing for a few days. OK. Upon the National Day of Singapore, I went to KL. Just for fun. In the beginning, I didn't know where to stay. So, I just simply asked anyone in MSN to see whether anyone staying in KL and his house is available for me to stay. Ya, finally, thanks to Yoon Keat and Yoon Chee to allow me to stay. I had a wonderful moment with their family too. Speaking four different languages at the same time and sometimes there's a sudden switch to Mandarin, Hakka, Cantonese and also English. Funny.

I also bought a few books to widen my knowledge about the economics and other things. These books are absolutely great and I am really impressed. 

 Soccernomics - Putting the economics points of view in the soccer industry. And also some analysis from some football experts about the Barclays Premier League and Germany National Team. I like this book!

Freakonomics - From the title we read, freaky and weird. It's a different way of looking things. Sometimes, a small case can be a bigger one if you look from a different perspective. For example, the abandoned babies are related to the birth control and the crime rate. Interesting!

In lecture theatre, I kept on sleeping from the beginning of the lesson till the end! I didn't know what happened  and I knew that this semester would be doomed! Furthermore, I handled too many positions in ECA and also the project by my prof. I didn't even have the time to do the tutorial problems. All I can do was just copying the solution from the tutorial class. What ashamed!

However, I managed to pick up the lesson after week 7 of the class. No more sleeping yet still copying the answers. -.="" speechless..

Till now, this is the last day of 2010. NTU still owe me money! They are supposed to pay us (URECA students) by today!!!!

FYI: URECA - Undergraduate Research Experience on CAmpus, is a program such that to provides a research experience for the undergrads prior the final year project. It's quite helpful for me because I learnt quite a lot from this program. Self learning for MATLAB, which I have no idea what it is about. 

Of course, there are also downs in this year. I don't want to mention them because they are hurtful and meaningless for me. 

That's all I have..

2011 has MORE TO COME!

New year resolution : New me...no more painful experience! 

Arsenal and Malaysia

Two matches in one day, that would be a great satisfaction for a die-hard football fan like me. But, greater disappointment for me as for a DIE-HARD Arsenal fan, they drew at Wigan side. So unfortunate to witness a draw after the ultimate win against Chelsea. Sigh..

Anyway, I am happy and proud that finally, Malaysia lifted the AFF Suzuki Cup!! AFF Suzuki Cup is the most prestigious tournament in South East Asia, which Thailand and Singapore dominated the tournament for so long. Malaysia beat Indonesia 4-2 in aggregate! They didn't lose to laser beam anymore!! The team, though did not play so well as what they had in 1st leg, they extended their gap with a wonderful goal in Indonesia. So glad to see that.

But, if the government is as competent as what the team did, I am proud of them too. Seriously, the government still has a lot of space to improve.

According to a journalist :
"‎The only thing that makes Malaysians stand together regardless of race, religion or political affiliations is when we support our national team. 1Malaysia is nothing compare to sports." (Nicholas Chan, 2010)"


True enough! Everyone is cheering for them( Football fans, if you are not one of them, just put the hands together for what they did, though it might not happen next time - it's HISTORY! ). I hope that this will not be the next Thomas Cup for you. 
However, it's sad to see not even a single Chinese playing in the national team like what we had last time, for instance Dato' Soh, James Wong .....isn't there any Chinese player in the league at the moment? ( I have been long time out of the clique with the local league, sorry).


1Malaysia is not a public announcement blindly anymore. It can be a simple/great achievement through anything. For example sports! Sports unite all people regardless of race, religion or ideology. Yes, it's proven!

Well done Malaysia! 

...speechless...

erm...
When the money comes, everything's fine..
When the money's gone, everything's kansai...
I really have to settle myself in a financial turmoil until NTU settles my salary prior end of the year..

Going home with no pocket money in hand is definitely a problem when your friends ask you to join the gathering. So, I am thinking of being "off" when I go back later. Is it possible?(anyway, many friends are not in KK at that period)
No, for my own personality, I understand that sometimes I am an emotional person(for no reason), so, I do need some friends to chat with me. I don't want to commit any silly things!

Erm, let me think again...Recently, my mind was a bit congested. Couldn't think properly. I am truly sorry for whatever silly things I've done. and for you guys back in KK, I am a jerk.
Emotional wave struck me again and again and I don't know why when I am alone, I will be like this!

Think too much? probably..
I am finally speechless about myself..

Silent Christmas Eve

For past two years, I flew back home for Christmas and this year, I choose to stay back though the exam is over two days ago. One of my friend told me to go to Orchard to look at the crowd but I am not going to pay the visit to the crowded place. I went for a Christmas Eve dinner with the friends who are still available in NTU.

I bet the situation in KK is different compared to past few years. Supposing it is more crowded than before. On the other hand, I think it's my fault to lose contact with all of my friends in KK/Malaysia. Sometimes, I think that I don't even truly exist in my friends' mind. Maybe they have their own life and their own topics. But somehow, I feel isolated whenever I go out to have a chat with them. I will never have a clique with them anymore..Perhaps, being silent is better than being nosy and noisy everytime...

Yeah..I am always alone..

.Merry Christmas everyone..

Post Examination Stress Syndrome( PESS)

I am having this kinda stress after the examination is over!!
Afraid what could have come out after this, I really have to find other things to do to distract my mind.
Luckily, there're still quite many of them, for example watching new movies, dramas , and doing project for the prof. AND...Clarke Quay Exploration!
After the examination, we(Kai Ming, Choon Siong, n Yih Keng) went to Clarke Quay to take a walk and had a dinner. The dinner was a good one and I never eat a delicious Ramen before!!! But, I forgot which restaurant as the place there is too complicated for me to find out.

This is the Ramen set I mentioned just now...costs $17.50++...but very nice!!!

After that, we took a stroll along the Singapore River and the sunset bar along the river. The atmosphere is totally different because there are many tourists there and some more we will take a glance on the sexy waitresses who dressed up sexily  (supposed to be like that, to attract tourists , unfortunately, I didn't take a photograph of it) 

Singapore River at night

That's my update .. Can't wait for the next outings...

It's our life, isn't it?

Last few days after hearing my senior talked about his friend's death and also his other friends' marriage, he added,"Seems like we are old enough to witness these kind of things. Those beloved friends, accidentally died, suicide case, get marrieds...too many stuffs happen..But, what to do? This is our lives.."

Not only this, I've heard a childhood friend of mine, disappeared for no reason and his mother called him for 10 days without any reply from him. She called me to call him, no reply too...But I have no idea what happen to him until his aunt( his mother's sis) found him by getting the SMS from him. Doing well but, curiously I want to know, what happen to him??

As I grow up, anything can happen in the next seconds, next minutes. It's really unacceptable when it really happens on you. So, I really have to be prepared at every seconds in order to cope with these critical situations. Not everyone can cope it well and I know it.

Paul, send my condolences...Take care, be strong...

Exam!!!!

Faint! Exam !!

Lazy bug + Tiong Seng Construction Pte Ltd

I have no idea what to do now..continue to do my revision or just relax..
I don't know what to do because I studied for whole day and my brain is congested now!!!

After knowing that my internship company, I got a bit numb feeling..Don't know how to react towards this...
Faraway from the university and have to work for 6 days in a week with little pay.-.=" such a great JOKE!!!

Whether I like it or not, it will be another new chapter of my life after this semester, starting my internship in a foreign company. Well, at least the experience can be accumulated and will be a great asset for me!

Tiong Seng is one of the largest contractor in Singapore and I had been there for the scholarship interview. It was a nice company and the CEO  of the company is very approachable. What a nice guy.
By the way, I would like to choose a project which is not far away from where I stay now. I prefer that!!!

ARGH!!!! Exam is coming...Wish me luck!!!
