I'm Back!!!
SWOC is finally over!! And it surely did end with a blast.. haha.. of course with the ponding of Zhiqian, Veron and Shiqin at the Block B pond.. singing the Hall Anthem and the 超级派 cheer.. broke my no-supper policy and headed down to Fong Seng for Nasi Lemak and slept allll the way till 11am today....
It was a great orientation! Though long.. and had to juggle fluctuating and constantly decreasing numbers of freshmen day by day.. this year's programme beat last year's flat. Dunno whether it's a Sheares Hall thing or wad but it kinda sucked when KR's pool games were filled with cheering crowds while ours was just those few cats some of which refused to get into the pool....
And Block D Rocks la.. the kids were great.. siao on.. bond really well.. self-entertaining.. what can I say man? Was really touched and impressed when they all divided themselves really well and started cooking in the kitchen that carnival day... We councillors just had to sit by the side and do nothing.. other than shyuan who helped them a bit.. (ok we senior guys are lousy in the kitchen)
The block will definitely be more interesting with this bunch of kids around.. at least we won't be trashed at IBG again I think.. and someone please revive the sleeping 小猫 to do crazy stuff.. and of course fantastic block suppers with the lot of good cooks we have.
Well well.. hereby my hectic holidays could have ended.. but no.. I got myself into rag.. Back to the dancing callefarre again. Not exactly Synchronised Movement of Props again like last year.. a bit of dancing (I hope.. otherwise it'll really be damn callefarre) and more importantly soaking up the spirit of Rag on Saturday itself. Think the time wasted would definitely be worth it....
Good times fly by. SWOC did. And I'm sure next week would end in a jiffy too.
I'm so glad I continued to stay. =)

Comics and Books
Sunday, July 17, 2005
I finally had a piece of town today.. and cleared one of the must-watch movies of this season.. though I think I kinda made pawsie dulan coz I deprived her of her maple-upgrading-win-3millionbucks-dunnowat... haha.
Well.. Fantastic Four was not as good as I thought it was supposed to be.. totally cliche comicbook style.. seemed like a 骗小孩子的 show.. like I just paid $9.50 to watch a Saturday Morning Cartoon.. but if you wanna watch 帅哥美女 this is the show man.. Jessica Alba is so darn breathtaking.. ooh I remember the days when I used to catch Dark Angel to see her kickass.. but this show she did her wonders by smiling at the camera and I was like... ~melt in my seat~
I still wanna watch Initial D and War of the Worlds though.. any sad deprived souls like me out there wanna watch too just MSN/SMS me ok?? Preferably on weekdays coz I can't afford too many $9.50 tickets at one shot..
And I joined the Harry Potter craze too.. bought my very own Half Blood Prince US Edition for $53 at Borders.. yeah kinda steep but I can't stand the UK version.. coz the font not nice.. after all.. I rarely splurge on books.. so I should just throw in 10 bucks more for extra reading pleasure.. haha.
And I realise the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie would be out in November.. saw the trailer.. haha so excited.. (though I haven't caught the Prisoner of Azkaban yet myself)
Ok.. I'm off to read my book already. haaa

It's just Emotions taking me over...
Sunday, July 10, 2005
I haven't blogged for so long.. I used to blog at work but somehow nowadays I find it hard to concentrate on my callings while blogging.. while other times I just dont feel like blogging.
My last day of work ended on Friday.. and it turned out to be more than just walking out of the office and saying 'bye' to newly found friends.. It was rather.. emotional. Tat and Caroline left on the same day as me.. the rest from the clique will be leaving soon.. and the others who were left behind gave more than goodbyes.. especially from 2 colleagues in their 30s (yeah I never really interacted with people in this age group as like on-par friends before).. one of them was a guy in his late 30s.. suddenly had the urge to treat us to chicken pies (something quite touching coz he usually saves on his lunch). And a nice lady in her early 30s made an effort to have our last lunch with us.. treated us snacks and I could sense the tears forming when we took our final group photo.
Separations are somewhat necessary now and then. And this venture into the working adult world really brought me new experiences into my life.. to know different people esp those outside my chinesehigh-hwachong.. council-hall circle of friends...
The Right One?
I thought I found her. I mean how often do you find a person of the opposite sex that is so much like yourself? Same likes and dislikes.. same interests.. same preference for food (except that she doesn't like eggs).. same craziness/childishness.. and even uncannily.. similar signature. I mentioned to eve about her before.. and when eve asked me to go for it I remember I replied "你以为去巴杀买菜啊?"
Just no feeling. I am still a feeling person.. after all the debate about 感情vs感觉. In my mind there's still this special someone that I can't forget. It's stupid coz in my head I keep telling myself to open up but my heart just doesn't follow.
So weighing the so-called 缘分 and the 天时地利人和 I've concluded that she's probably not meant for me after all. She's more of my long-lost sister.. or maybe she's the female version of Chio (don't scream) except that she's not fat and she doesn't burp... yet. =)
And on top of things I know of someone who has fallen for her. And rather than disappointment I felt like I was really happy for 2 friends to get together (if they do). And if things turn out well she may just be my sister ultimately haha.
Anyway did I mention same preference for food? I take that back.. I realised that she like tomato ketchup on sotahbiahs.. steal baby food from her cousin and ate.... dogfood. That's how crazy she is.
Camp Again
So in a few hours I'd be going for my second camp this holiday season.. a camp I've really been looking forward to not because of the frieshies.. nor the games.. nor the fact that we'll be stayin in some nice chalet in Sentosa.
And my trusty horoscope advised..
"Today's a good day to look up a long lost love or almost-love. Even if nothing romantic comes of it, you'll be glad you made the connection. On the other hand, you never know what might happen. "
Hmph. How apt again.
So till thursday.. this blog will be stagnant.
Oh yah.. just a gentle reminder if you guys don't tag the tagboard will automatically delete itself.. that's what happened to the old one. And you can't expect me to talk to myself rite?
Maybe there's no one reading after all.

My holidays at a glance...
Friday, July 01, 2005
William's out of SuperStar! How shocking.. though he had the highest points given by the judges during his performance but he got kicked out! Whou.. means his audience support is pathetic.. sigh.. I thought I could still see a few more weeks of his performance on TV before seeing him being kicked out. Getting kicked out on the 1st episode is like.. so malu.
Well.. I guess some people must be cheering out there. We all know why.
Anyway it's confirmed. Next week will be the last week I'd be working. Then I'll get 1 week of Chem Eng FWC and 1 week of real BREAK before 1 week of SWOC.. then guess what..?
SCHOOL STARTS!!!
Looking back.. I don't know if I made the right choice keeping myself so occupied during the holidays.. I mean I didn't really have a holiday because I reported to work almost immediately I finished my last paper... and concurrently had to meddle with SECC and SWOC affairs (not to mention I had the Starhub job in the 1st few weeks). There are so many things I want to do but I didn't have time to. Toad's OC is still stuck in my laptop totally untouched.. the 如来神掌 vcds are lying on my desk also totally untouched.. I didn't upgrade my Premiere skills as I intended.. I didn't learn 10 guitar songs as I wanted to.. and I didn't revise my Jap so I can at least play along with Quek and Rachel when they come back from Japan.. (they are so damn lihai now).
On top of they my bank account is DRY. After working so hard I end up poorer than before. (Ok I'd get back the money some day but by the HOC experience I'd reckon it'll be freaking long).
So I'm really looking forward to the 1 week break between FWC and Week 0. At least I can wake up late.. do what I want to do.. slack around.. watch VCDs.. be a bastard..
All these will cost me $60 x 5 days = $300. [Opportunity cost of not going to work]
But what the heck. I'm in a state of extremem dilemna now. I'm happy that my holidays are finally here. But what would come immediately after that is..
SCHOOL
School sucks. =(
