When Twilight Fades.. It's Dawn...

Classes have started.. and i'm 2 weeks into them.. let's say i'm going in HOT.. which means... throw into shit piles of work.. yup.. and it's only just the second week... tutorials are up... projects are starting... loads of assignments going on already.. it's really going into hyperdrive.. i've been wondering if i'm being too ambitious this sem.. although i'm only taking 5 modules.. but they are quite full project and assignments.. although i have a 4day week.. but it seems there is never enough time..

for one of my modules, i was drawn to be group leader.. 7 in the group... it's a marketing module.. essentially by the end of the semester, we need to come up with a business plan... i was ok with being leader, and quite motivated with the responsiblity on me.. BUT... response was quite lacking.. since last tues which was the lesson.. i have been faced with difficulty trying to coordinate for a meeting to discuss on stuff for the next lesson.. damn jialat... gotta improve!!!

but on the other hand.. i'm also quite happy with myself thus far.. i've been to all lessons and tried to pay attention to everything so far... which is really pretty good... most of the lessons make some sense... which is also very good... now it's trying to cope with tutorials & assignments that's really drowning me out...

while being busy in school recently, i haven been back to tj for volleyball in a while.. which is pretty bad.. not enough exercise.. i can feel my stomach bulging, and my mum's endless bursts of nagging is really driving me nuts.. played badminton a few times... but the way we play badminton is just plain reaction.. not much movement.. so not very effective in burning fats... just make u tired only...

oh well.. i think things will only get better... and i will make myself carry on watever good i've achieved so far...

NOW... movies i've watch 2 shows recently...

1. Cloverfield

It's a shaky film.. the either show was film to look like it was taken from a handy cam.. and it was a chaotic situation.. using a handycam really made it really dizzy... i find the plot quite interesting.. BUT the ending kindda sucks.. many of the viewers were hoping for some end credit specials.. but now.. it just ended without and ending.. I should have expected that, afterall it's a movie from the makers of LOST!!

(score = 2 of 5*)

2. 27 Dresses

This is a super sweet story.. all good and almost nothing bad happens in this show.. it's even more enchanted than enchanted.. hahaa.. but the plot is really good... good build up... good twists... and most of all a nice ending.. alls well and ends well.. i dun want to say too much about this show.. but it's really worth the $$ to watch...

Twilight ZONE!!

I feel i'm in some sort of a twilight zone now. Why?? Cos school is starting on monday!! So i'm basically on the verge of the end of holidays, which sucks. Haven done much contructive stuff over the pass few weeks, den BOOM.. School is going to be back in session again. That's like so so fast. oh well. It's time to face the books and notes again. At least i'm happy to know i have a 4 day week. :) And only 4 of the 5 modules have exams, but on the downside... there WILL be loads of projects. Perhaps projects will keep me going on better then tutorials.

2008 has BEGUN!!!

While i was still thinking iwhat to put in my last post for 2007.. 2008 came jumping at me.. took me totally unaware and unprepared..

the past year has been pretty ok.. in the sense nothing too bad had happened..

exams are ok.. scraped thru both semesters... nothing better than expected... first sem was more boring.. 2nd sem was alittle overloading with 6 modules going on... but i'm happy to enjoy a few module really much... but that main thing is i managed to scrape thru regardless how not involve i'm sometimes in during school...

i work at several places during last year's summer break... it was a good experience.. 2 places i enjoyed most is at the track & field meets & selling laptops in NUS.. working at those places gave me 2 things... exposure to different working conditions and also supplement to my $$..

talking about $$, last year.. i got my car!! finally... but $$ has been dwindling because of that.. increasing oil prices & all other car operation charges like maintenance, ERP, parking.. the list just goes on.. OUCH!! my Wallet hurts...

quite a few frens got married last year.. din hear anyone breaking up.. so i guess it was good in that sense too... me and dear are still going strong.. 8 years is coming up soon.. hehe.. relations with her family have improved over the past few weeks.. her niece seems to like me more than before.. and i tihnk dear's getting jealous.. :P

FOR 2008...

it's time to relook my directions.. set simple goals... when you set your goals too high.. u will not be able to see them.. and very soon.. you lose them... last year's goals were actually pretty simple.. but somehow.. i lost them after sometime too... so now... what should i do for the new year??

To make things simple.. this is my aim for the year...

"Pass IPPT, Pass Exams"

Highlight of the year would most likely be my trip to US for work & travel.. :)

And now.. it's time to look at module details again!! time to bid for modules for the coming semester...
