Exams Time

It's now half way thru the exams... 3 papers down.. 2 more to go.. and i have the luxury of a short break... but sadly... i doubt i did well for the past papers... might not even pass... so it's actually quite depressing... but... nothing much to regret about.. cos i wasnt working hard for it anyway... i'm just glad it's over... looking forward to holiday break...

School's Out!! Exam's IN!!

the final days of the school semester have been a horrific experience... loads and loads of deadlines to meet... loads and loads of stuff to do, study, read, do somemore... ridiculous... but somehow.. i survived it all!! with a few corners cut here and there... but still i managed to get out in one piece... BUT BUT BUT...

Exams are round the corner.. and after somewhat ghosting thru the semester.. this will spell the largest disaster that will befall on me.. now i have to digest and absorb... a whole semester worth of lectures/tutorials/readings in the short span of 1 week and try to get myself as ready for exams as possible.. how easy is that??

Ups & Downs in a single day

the day started off with something i was quite proud of... 1 pager due today.. and a 3 page teamwork analysis also due.. the task?? to get all the above done in 30mins... and miraculously.. i spent something like 40 mins to complete it.. amazing.. even though content was total crap but being able to cook up something in that short time.. priceless...

big down of the day... lecture test for soil mechanics... haven been to lecture/tut of any sort.. print out the notes for the very first time.. see them for the very first time... and BANG.. time for test... and the result was simple... blanks... blanks on 80% of the paper... 20% was MCQ so i could just select SOME answers... still it felt like shit...

so just to make myself feel better... splurge... hahaa.. watched GAMEPLAN... damn funny... child actors nowadays, are simply.. WOAH!! ate Waffles at Gelare... ate paste & Waraku Pasta... overall felt much better....

BUT!!! like i said before... deadlines are still lurking... and they are getting real close now...

--= *Stardust* =--

Just came home from watching this movie... it's been years since i watched a Claire Danes movie... in fact i think this is my first one.. cos i seriously dun think i watched her Romeo & Juliet with Leonardo Di Caprio.. hehe..

This story is a refreshingly new fairy tale... not any old plot i've seen before... so it's nice and new... hilarious throughout the show... but most importantly it's actually done very logically... even though it has loads of fairy tale fantasy in it.. it's still very logical.. the flow of the show is very logical.. it actually explains the plot very well.. there's no point the show where we go "hey wat happened in between" kind of things happening... there's always answers... timely ones as well...

Great actors with the likes of Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, and this new guy... Charlie Cox.. he's funny.. and not to forget Claire Danes... she's really suited to act in this sort of shows... hahaa..

Anyway... i liked the show.. and love the happy ending... :)

I thought Wrong.. but What's New??

This week is supposed to be less busy... but i was wrong... deadlines keep coming back at you... finish one.. on comes another... there's always another deadline waiting for you... aaarrrggghhh...

but... I did a few happy things this week... i went to Hog's Breath at Vivocity... the food was good... it's a bit pricey... that's y me and yanli went on tuesday.. it's ladies night.. and they get 50% off the main course... which is good... oh.. and the service there is the best among all eateries i've been to so far... good service.. good food.. yum..

yesterday we also went to Ajitei , another restaurant by Ajisen... jap food.. nice!! not too expensive.. but the main attraction here is the desserts... haven got to try them yet.. cos we were too full after the mains... :P

finally... i've just uploaded fotos taken during MNO video filming.. please go see see...

Wireless on BUS

I just sent my car for servicing.. and now taking bus to school.. it's been a while since i took public transport.. and this is surprising.. there's wireless on board... cool.. hahaa..

the only side effect.. i cant do this too long on a bus.. or any moving transport.. i'll get headaches... i'm getting one now.. arrgghh...

Finally!!! the Video is Done..

Finally the BTSL Video is done.. after sleepless nIghts of editting... IT's DONE!!! and here's a compressed version which is uploaded into Youtube...



However that's not the end of work for me... more dealines coming up.. UURRgghhh.. What the hell....

Deadlines

Deadlines are lines which kill you when you don't finish your tasks on time... this is week 10... loads of deadline coming up this week... 4 out of 6 modules... super tired.. haven been sleeping much the past few days... felt really drowsy when i drive to school in the morning... BTSL video is coming to a close soon... left with editting and sound effects to do... den there's paper for engine prof... paper for urban planning... and huge project for infra project... everyday is packed with meetings and discussions and projects...

btw, i'll be going YELLOWSTONE!!! from 13 May to 22 Jul i'll be working in Yellowstone national park... i finally get the chance to go overseas further than china.. hahaa...

very tired now... need sleep....

How was NUS Week 8

this week is when all the projects actually have a meeting.. and that basically makes up my whole week... i haven been going for lecture.. nor have i been to much tutorials... but project meetings have been plenty... and most of them are enjoyable...

today.. i spent my WHOLE day at the DODO Fishball factory office... all the way at Senoko.. doing MNO video... elaine managed to get liyang(her long term chauffeur.. also the son of the MD of DODO)... there's yvonne who looked seriously like a female boss today, very professional looking lar!! den kah hwee or ah KAH after today, she just reminds me of the pantry.. all of us knkow why... elaine, well.. she's the future DODO bosstress... hahaa.. hope she dun get pissed by our irritance... hahaa.. Zerong, super funny was the stuff he says... especially those scenes which we were suppose to talk "rubbish" cos there would be no audio.. the "rubbish" he says.. simply makes everyone laugh till u drop!!! henkie.. our old man & bad man.. i think he had a great lesson in acting today.. hahaa... finally our main producer.. mr OH wenjun.. damn pro is what i have for him... and dues to our filming overrun.. think his family had to wait up for him for dinner... and FINALLY there's me!!! I think i'm a ultra crazy actor.. i think i like to act.. it's fun... or rather i like to be a comedian... just be lame...

that's just damn cool... we were running around the office shooting here, there, everywhere.. luckily it was public holiday.. so there werent much staff around to be irritated by us.. we were seriously noisy.. but there was loads of fun doing this video shoot.. and i got to act.. this is by far my first major role in any video clip ALL MY LIFE.. and i loved it.. it was just damn fun... although this video clip is ultimately supposed to be just 7 mins.. we managed to stay at the office for almost 12 whole hrs for filming... hahaa.. loads of wasted time on crapping and hysterical laughing... mostly by me...

technically it's elaine's birthday now... so we celebrated for her earlier on just now.. i actually bought cake for her yesterday.. and hid it in my car.. and i only remebered to take the cake after like 5 hrs of filming.. hahaa.. i shove it into the fridge immediately.. i guess it was still ok when we ate it.. heheee.. hope no one has problems after eating... think elaine was quite happy we celebrated for her.. and yah.. we TOOK loads of photos.. and loads of video today... cant wait to get my hands on them.... hahaa...

This is week 8

total there's 13 weeks of lessons... this means majority of the semester is gone.. and i feel like i have successfully GHOST past it... i managed to survive so far without any get failures.. but.. HOW the hell will i survive the final exam?? a miracle??? this is the time of the semester when i think i should find a religion.. or maybe practise some black magic... hahaa...

Get more for less

Ask for less and you will get more...

If you are less demanding, you find you have gain more than you asked for.. If you ask for too much to be done, it simply reduces your speed and nothing gets done... take one simple task at a time.. stay happy and live easy... :)

This Feeling is new

This is the first time i feel betrayed by a lecturer... you ask him about how the project should be done.. he gives you tons of ideas... you work on it... do and suit his tastes... but when presentation comes... there's another bigger shot there.. who shoots down almost every aspect of the presentation... and that dumb lecturer just nods his head along.. BETRAYAL... BIG TIME... there goes my results...

This Is My Mid-Term Break

Mid-term break... this mean it's half way thru the sem already... loads of things/assignment/projects... and my engine is still cold...

Week 6

Week 6 is coming up... and that's basically HALF the semester gone!!! Deadlines are coming up!! and what have i done for the psat few weeks??? NOTHING!! Practically NOTHING!! although not physically nothing... but the academic value adds up to ZERO!! A big fat ZERO!! I dragged myself to school early today... managed to reach here around 830am.. and since then.. i've completed a short PPT presentation for Eng Professionalism tut.. and that's all for now.. i'm drained... already...

last week is slightly more eventful... attended one of my airforce colleague's wedding.. it felt great initially to be meeting up with them.. but after awhile i felt i have lost touch with the way they behave, talk and think... And i realised most of them are leaving the force already.. something that i was trying so hard to get into, they were all trying to get out.. they say i was lucky to not be inside doing crap like they are.. but i feel i could have made a difference... too bad i wasnt there...

finally watched Ratatouille last week... it's a nice cartoon with a simple plot.. but the graphics.. WOAH... close to reality... it's simply stunning... further more i watched it at GVMax.. huge screen.. superb resolution... the only problem was the freezing cold temperature... BBbbrrrrRRrr...

also caught the lastest Sandra Bullock movie.. quite disappointing actually.. the plot became alittle too obvious in the middle of the show.. and the ending was... unexpected.. but unexpected wasnt good in the case.. i would prefer it to be the expected ending... i feel the show has some sort of religious linkage to it.. but i wasnt religious enough to understand it... :P

NUS Week 5, here I come...

Blogging has once again deteriorated to a once a week activity... i see 2 reasons...

1. I'm too lazy
2. No one's bugging me to do more often anyway

last week hasnt been any much better than the week before.. but as usual i still like my MNO class loads.. MNO is basically a very fun class.. so so so much more fun than all the technical crap in engine.. damn!! i really hate wat i'm studying.. aarrgghh... but it's my choice.. so i'll stick with it..

MNO highlights included 2 tutorials this week, one's the usual one on tuesdays.. the other is an extra lesson on saturdays.. called BAFA BAFA.. we played a game.. which was actually quite interesting.. first we learn some simple rules of our society.. den start on it.. the we start interacting with another tutorial group which has totally difference rules of games.. this kindda mimics a persons emmersion into another society.. you get the same kindda of lost of directions, you get the same cluelessness.. but you'll also start understanding what happens after a while.. even though you totally dun speak their language.. it's really quite a fun yet meaningful game...

watched evan almighty this week.. it's MUCH nicer in terms of plot and acting compared to Bruce Almight.. which is just a crappy show starring Jim Carrey.. and i really recommend watching this show... christians may not agree with wat i say.. but i think the show is nice... and funny... great entertainment... oh by the way.. i'm saying all this here because.. i'm going to end my movie addict blog.. cos it's rather tedious to maintain.. and their aint much viewership except for myself... so it's goodbye movieaddict.blogspot.com...

NUS Week 3 Over

3rd week was over in NUS, and still nothing much was achieved for myself.. got to know a few people in my MNO class.. missed many other classes... basically nothing much was achieved in school over the past week.. but i feel the ball is finally starting to roll.. so i hope things will start going on smoothly from now on...

friday was basically the highlight of the week.. going back to tj for homecoming dinner... met up with some 06 people.. and other tj frens.. too bad the turn-out for our batches not very good.. otherwise it shld be quite fun.. the current tj vice principal was my history teacher back in cchs.. and he still remembers me... which is pretty cool... i took quite a few pictures that night.. just follow the link on the left to check them out...

saturday went minds cafe with bingguang, jass, lihui, wanyang, yinglan, jingting & dear... basically, now i have a pretty bad impression of minds cafe.. pretty bad... the games are alrite, the food actually not bad... except when it came to mine.. my lasagne was frozen in the middle when they serve it to me.. no to mention mine only came after EVERYONE had finished their food.. super sad & pissed... so yah.. that's pretty much the last time i'll go minds cafe i guess... hahaa...

sunday had KTV at the NUS guild house at Suntec.. it's a pretty cool place.. the KTV facilities not bad.. i like the rooms much more than other KTVs outside.. their songs are piggybacked from the Kbox systems... but somehow less updated... but it's cheap and good... however, the membership to the place really quite ex... hahaa..

Week 4 has begun and it started off with labs.. 3 lab session in 2 weeks.. going to be a very very busy 2 week up ahead...

Bourne Ultimatum

Jason Bourne finally finds out his true Identity. This is the key focus of the film, after the past 2 prequels, this finally puts and end to the Jason Bourne Amnesia problem.. But there seems to be 2 more Novels after Bourne Ultimatum, which i doubt would be made into movies due to deviated storyline & plot... we shall see..

Continuing on the witty escapes and seemingly genius ways of killing and getting out of though situations, Bourne Ultimatum ties you down into your seat. Non-stop action from start to the end. Julia Stiles has a slightly longer role in this episode compared to the last 2, and she even hints of an affair with Bourne.. interesting.. too bad that was not built on in the show.. perhaps a basis for the next installment?

Classic Quote -
Noah Vosen: [in car, on cell phone] Perhaps we can arrange a meet.
Jason Bourne: Where are you now?
Noah Vosen: I'm sitting in my office.
Jason Bourne: I doubt that.
Noah Vosen: Why would you doubt that?
Jason Bourne: If you were in your office right now we'd be having this conversation face-to-face.
[Bourne hangs up]

License To Wed

A Reverend Frank (Robin Williams) puts an engaged couple, Sadie & Ben (Mandy Moore and John Krasinski) through a grueling marriage preparation course to see if they are meant to be married in his church. This is not just a typical romance flick, you add in Robin Williams, you get a HILARIOUS Romantic flick.

Basically i decided to watch this show because of Robin Williams, he's a great entertainer.

Reverend Frank to Ben : So Ben, what have you been doing, besides little Sadie here.

I'm so Drained...

It's been a pretty busy week cos school is finally back in session... kindda hard getting back to the mentality of studying.. totally dread facing the books again.. though i haven bought any books this semester, the lecture notes are just as bad.. no matter how much i hate it.. i still have to go thru it.. sucky...

in the past week both the guys and gals vball teams from tj played their last match for the singapore open.. and the results for this whole tournament had been losses from start till the end.. it really sucks to play that badly.. but then again.. there's no one to blame cos we were lack of trainings...
