I found it!
Thursday, September 30, 2004

[After Maths Lecture. On the Internal Shuttle Bus B back to hall]
[Handphone rings.]
Me: Hello?
Guy: Is this.. is this Clement?
Me: Yes.
Guy: Hmm how do I put this..? Did you lose anything recently?
Me: (whispers) oh my god... (says) a camera?
Guy: Ah yes. Can you remember where you lost it?
Me: (alightened) I left it on a taxt last week I think...
Guy: Ok I'm calling from the NUS registrar's office. A taxi driver found this in his taxi and he scanned through the photos and there was the photo of your matriculation card...
... and we searched the records for your matriculation number and found you.
Me: Oh ok thanks! Thanks a lot!!
Guy: When do you want to collect it? Are you coming to collect it now?
I'm a bit lazy.. i just came from there leh..
Me: Uh... what about tomorrow?
Guy: Sure sure. See you tomorrow then!
Me: Thanks a million again!


YOOOOOOOHOOOOOOoOOOO!!!!! I FOUND MY CAMERA!!!!!!!! AND I WAS LOSING ALL HOPE ON IT!!!!!

Feel damn bad actually.. coz i was cursing and swearing at the 'dishonest' taxi driver for the past week.. so upon Suzanne's encouragement I emailed to the Straits Times to thank the cabby.. hoping he will get a reward or something.

What a great day today.

roll over the ocean, roll over the sea, roll to hell and go and die with all the physicists!
Wednesday, September 29, 2004

(The title's supposed to be sung to the tune of "it's you, it's you, it's you who built community...")

Webassign's supposed to be easy.. kaneenaaah i spent so many hours and still cannot crack it! To hell with all rolling objects and their angular momentum shit!

Just came back from block D MAF celebrations... fun. The 超级星期天 game was damn fun.. for those who sat at one corner instead of surrounding the game well just too bad.. and you can see how short memories people can have..

"Is he freshie?"
"No"
"Is he year 2?"
"No"
"Is he year 3?"
"No"
"Is he year 2?"
"No"
"Is he year 4?"
"Yah"
"Er... Is he year 2?"

And the link between Juli and Adrian was damn funny.. haa. laughed my guts out.

Okok.. back to my physics. I must master it no matter what...

what a day!
Tuesday, September 28, 2004

I went swimming! 10 laps (yes I mean up and down the length of the pool considered 1 lap) continuously in 27:32 mins... quite slow eh? But hey! I should start making this a habit.. it's 4am and I'm still energetic and kicking! Uh.. ok actually i'm a bit sleeepy...

Today was considered my slackest day in many many days.. tried physics tutorial which i gave up.. i think physics professors are sadistic creatures that enjoy seeing students suffer at ridiculous physics questions. Yah I really feel like killing Newton and Einstein sometimes (ok they are dead) because they think so much and derive so many formulas for ME to memorise! and why the hell would i care if the total torque = the inertia x angular momentum??? why the hell would I wanna know the angular speed of this stupid rolling thing that suddenly touches the ground?? And why the hell would i need to know how to derive that stupid equation now that that ass has already derived it dozens of years ago?? [ok cool it]

Maths tutorial was one i almost gave up if i didn't look for weiliang to teach me.. sigh I could never do those stupid series questions on my own.. i think i will just die in the next test.. i'm really worried.. think it's time to be good friends with my maths tutor.. Hey chio you are a nerd! Yeah you are a nerd! maybe I should type the word nerd 20 times to remind myself what i'm born to be: nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd nerd...

So far my new haircut with the tail's cool.. haa.. i like it more and more! I'll gel it tomorrow for lectures and see how it looks..

Maths Mid-Term Test... a beautiful day...
Wednesday, September 22, 2004

Yesterday ended with what could be the worst day of my life.. everything seemed to have gone wrong.. academic.. family.. friends.. personal possessions (yeah I lost my camera for good) .. I was so frustrated I went to sleep at 1am.. just as planned though coz of maths test today... sigh.

So here I am.. risen and shining.. brand new day.. 9am.. not raining.. not gloomy.. chewing on cornflakes with milk.. talking with eve on msn and hopefully skype (ok this shall be the determinant on today's luck.. she's still downloading the programme after failed attempts to audio on msn). Take a deep breath chio.. yesterday was over.

To a great day ahead. Cheers.

Oh yah I connected to eve (and yanru) on skype. ~smilez~

i'm the billy goat
Tuesday, September 21, 2004

Cupid Test?

Got this from Felicia's blog... quite true.. though I'm not sure about the part that i'm lusty and enjoy relationships for the sex and physical relationship haaa

Horny. Stubborn. Kinda cute. Slightly immature. And often found on rough terrain. You are The Billy Goat.

You're lusty, but typically monogamous, and all in all you're a pretty good boyfriend. In fact, you enjoy relationships, if mostly for the sex and physical companionship. You'd do or say almost anything to get together with someone, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

You're sensitive, you have a certain boyish charm, and you're eager. Therefore you probably attract girls who are serious about romance. But few who get close to you realize how unready for total commitment you are. People fall for you. Meanwhile, you maintain your emotional distance, and there goes another box of tissues.

You're perfectly capable of a long-haul relationship, but, right now, dating someone primarily means having a consistent, available, preferably not-too-chatty, hookup. You're a careful, methodical person, and you work hard at making things work. It's just that the type of woman most likely to find your strengths endearing is also the most likely type to find your shortcomings heartbreaking. Someone with a similarly laid-back approach to dating would be perfect for you.

2 more days to mid-term...
Monday, September 20, 2004

Massively stocked up my food supply today.. spent over $40.. whou.. but I got cornflakes and milk and sohdahbiaah and green tea and grapes.. yumyumyum..

Didn't really study much damn.. finished physics though.. now to practice and start on maths..

Luckily can siam block outing tomorrow.. that thing was hanging on my mind the whole day.. Responsibility and results.. obviously the latter is more important. What is "leadership by example"? The only person fit to talk about leadership by example is CO LTC Jason.. and the only person I learnt it from. 2 words sums it all - "Follow me."

Jianfa: "There is no reward for on-ness. Studies are more important."

Matt: "Yeah true it doesn't make a difference whether you go or not."



To a rewarding mugging day when I awake. Goodnight.

How long haven't i felt this good?
Friday, September 17, 2004

If everyday were like today.. i could be asking her out in no time.. deep down I know she's attached.. (not verified actually.. she hasn't told me herself) but i can't help it.. i'm taking your advice evelyn...

To think I was just one block away from her block last night...

AGM was totally boring and a waste of time..

Happy Birthday Jingwen! I dunno if you really knew our plans from our beginning but I think my lousy acting over the phone blew it haa.. ok whatever it is it's the effort of celebrating that counts... it's not over.. you'll get more during Mer night nyak nyak nyak *evil laughter*

The weather's good for sleeping last night.. so is tonight.. why waste it?

I want tomorrow to be like today.. oh i hope I can sleep.. haa...

After dinner...
Thursday, September 16, 2004

If I blogged before dinner it would have been another whiny entry.. but luckily no..

I saw her online! Boy I could have eaten my dinner faster.. Now hope that she can come online more often.. hahaa!

Finally finished my critique ready to hand it in tomorrow morning.. started on my Physics revision... haven't reached the shiong chapters yet.. so far so good.. but I need practice I need practice!

Went for a run with Adrian, Jianfa, Julian and guess who..? Michelle. Whoa she's fast leh.. can keep up with 4 guys.. and I was running at my faster pace already.. *applause for Michelle* 6km run.. sweet.. hope i lost some calories there.. and I really hope this continues because I'm really feeling very very fat.

Went to PGP to return Xueting her shoes.. yes with the small pinning hope that I can see her somehow.. (yeah chio you're being ridiculous) but hey daydreaming won't die right?

And I think the best decision I ever made so far was to get Chye to help with Hall Opening.. Our rapport was great.. he's creative and got great Home Affairs experience and most importantly he's damn free hahaa.. sorry if you are reading this haa yah but I most feared having to type all that crap amidst all my tests and stuff and I think you read my mind... *cheers to great friendship*

3am.. should I continue studying?

If more happy things happen to me, my blogs will be happy. I think I should plot a graph of luck/happiness against time.. Maybe there's a cycle so I can be mentally prepared for a terrible day and stop myself from blogging that day...

Ok i'm crapping.. means I must sleep.

Upside down life.. for the good?
Tuesday, September 14, 2004

I'm missing all my schedules... an indication I'm trying to do too much?

2000hrs.. Went to Weiliang's room to learn maths from him.. quite a productive session.. but i hope it lasts.. coz I'm not going to touch this topic anymore.. not until the mid-term tests are over.
because of this I missed the JCRC forum which the whole block comm went.. SIN NO. 1

2115 hrs.. Block C rooftop for the Drama group discussion.. Oh yes I was 15 mins late.. by the sheer fact I totally forgot about it.. lucky i realised in time. Now this is something I really dread.. coz I'm being plagued by Hall Opening Comm and Block Comm which is crushing me crazily already and now this thing is and extra burden on my load.. not that I expected the comm to start early.. but since it is.. and I gave my promise I think I should fulfil it.. at what expense?
because of this I missed the block run at 2230hrs.. what the heck..

So now I'm back into my room.. shutting my door.. turning off the lights except the table lamp (which from Chin Teng's room looks like a more conducive environment to study).. radio off ranting into my blog to vent my frustration because I dun't wanna listen to replies that will waste any more of my time.

I NEED TO DO MY CRITIQUE AND STUDY MY PHYSICS!!

To look on the bright side of life.. I missed the unimportant things and the potentially waste-time stuff. My maths improved instead of attending some stupid talk.. I came up with the script instead of going for some stupid run.

I'm going to be selfish chio. mugger chio.
No more friendly and try to please everyone chio.

Good bye.

Today's progress:

Studied the whole chapter on Geometric Progressions in the morning.. thought I understood.. but I couldn't do a single tutorial question.

Spent the whole afternoon reading through the thermochemistry notes.. so far so good.

Ran 10+km with Jianfa, Julian and Francis before dinner.. boy do I feel good after that.. finally Chio is starting to make an effort to lose weight!

2nd Hall Opening Comm meeting.. not too bad.. I'm starting to like this group of pple i'm working with.. and the fact that Chye and Toad are in the committee makes it all better.. I'm totally impressed by Zhengxi's leadership style.. and my programme is working out well.. lucky got KR's model to follow.. can you imagine my cuesheet signed by me will go straight up to the President's Office.. haha.. whoa cool right? think what's stressful will be what will happen on that day itself but i think it's going to be a tremendous experience...

Chio chio chio.. 6 modules.. 2 hall committees (one major and the other dunno wat but quite shiong).. 1 tuition and so many so many friends.. can I cope? I'm starting to feel the crush.

Oops after typing so much.. hmm.. ok lah I think more than half of it is a happy blog.. sorry Eve.. will make an effort tomorrow for a totally happy blog... I pray for a good day tomorrow...

I like the feeling of talking to people.. hearing someone's voice.. instead of typing in front of the LCD screen to someone replying to me in alphanumerics... Is this a lonely and stressed chio? I need a psychologist.

if I were outfield now...
Monday, September 13, 2004

Gabriel wanted to go back to army life.. Kaisiang wanted to go back to army life.. Allan wanted to go back to army life... me too.

Just wondering if I were awake at 0508hrs in 42SAR.. i'd probably be outfield or at some wargaming shit.. and not doing TUTORIALS... and of course I can expect off-in-lieus to come for burning my weekends.. Does NUS give off-in-lieus for doing homework during weekends?

Was reading through my previous blogs at livejournal until I stumbled upon this one.. oh what a life I used to have...

Happy Blog
Sunday, September 12, 2004

Hi evelyn.. i know that you'd be reading my blog today again now that it's the "in" thing for you now haha.. I shall listen to your advice and churn out a HaPpY BloG today.. despite more than half of the day was plagued with that bad news..

Oh well.. shishun said that the econs lecturer was funny and yeah I guess I should change my impression of him.. he is quite funny at times though it's just lame cold humour.. haa and you need to be awake to catch it.. a reward for those who can survive the monotony of his lectures..

Slept the whole afternoon.. yumyum wonderful sleep.. never had a proper one of that for the whole week already..

And what more could end off a day with a call from a close friend from overseas.. a friend whom could listen to your troubles when you need them... a friend who could offer advice (after all she's a psychologist hohoho).. and a friend who could tell i'm climbing up the hill on the way home by the soft panting over the phone.. who could tell i'm drinking milo (of all drinks in the world) by the sound of the straw...

I think my blog doesn't sound happy enough.. hmm.. anyway check out photos of Buaya Week closing...

Army Open House 2004
Monday, September 06, 2004

Clement chio is a nostalgic fella.. this weekend was probably nostalgic weekend..
So yesterday was Chinese High reunion.. today is probably 42SAR reunion.

It was lucky that AOH is organised by 42 this year... it was a fantastic feeling seeing all of them back there again.. from the clerks to the men to the specs to the fellow PCs.. to the OCs.. the PSOs.. and even ex-CO himself.. many many things to say to all and no one has changed.. The rides and exhibits were seconday in AOH.. the people were the main attraction for me. It's hard to put down in words how I feel coz there's just too much to say...

I finally saw my understudy today.. had a good long talk with him.. somehow I feel relieved that the branch is in good hands.. and feel happy that the branch is in good shape now.. everyone's in place.. everything's in order. Just that S2 still has his mood swings but from the looks of him today.. he's the cheerful James Boey that I know. Good luck guys for the rest of your NS term!

Anyway as usual photos are at the link below:

The Chinese High School Batch of 99 Reunion...
Saturday, September 04, 2004

Nostalgic..

What's the feeling like to meet up with old friends.. to talk about things about the past.. to crack old jokes.. to rekindle old memories? To talk to old teachers.. to remember our register numbers.. to remember who was the Vice-Chairman of the class.. to see good ol Mr Tooh.. to see a new and mascular Junzhi...

As I walked out of school I took at the majestic clock tower and the big open fields which I used to study and march around... Then I realised that clement chio is so old now..

But it's memories that makes one's life enriching...


Started buying stuff on buaya week.. boy did I spend a lot of money money money... my buayee better be satisfied man..
