Exam is Over!

Exam has finally ended. But there was this little feeling that I had just before exam. I started to have a slightly bad feeling, those kinda feeling that I felt when I had to leave the comfort of my home to go for a KL-trip. I'm not sure whether it was a good feeling or not. It was good to go traveling to KL city centre, but to leave the comfort of my home and endure a rather lengthy trip? (This feeling is hard to explain. It's all jumbled up.)

Anyway, as suspected. Good things go down the drain while all the bad things sky-rocketed to the roof. Was I over-reacting or the expressions even down-played the catastrophe that had hit me? I apologized to all whom I had done wrong to and there it was - a particular friend, whose reply left an impact on me.

She blogged about a person whom had been there for her. About how the person cared for her during ups and downs. About how the person made her cry. You may think this person is a saint. Yet, with all the sins that I had committed, could I ever be such a person?

There were meanings to her blog. Meanings that led me to be a better person. Her blog is to remind me that I should be such a person - someone whom others would look up to, someone others can rely on, or just someone whom others can call a 'friend'. Perhaps if I could be that person, I'm worthy to be called a human, or even a 'friend'?

Her blog, somehow, made me shed some tear - though it was just a short while (this just goes to show that I can be cold-hearted, when my friend showed their warmth and kindnes and sincerity).

I have many links here to share but somehow, it is not the time. Packing my bag and preparing to go back home. Perhaps it is the only time I could ever ponder about myself before I join the workforce. Would I be that person or I continued to be a jerk?

But the greatest question remain unsolved.. "Was it the correct choice to come to this uni to study, only to meet this person towards the end of my year1, whom had impacted my life, in more than one way?"


(Editor.menG: If you are reading this and get confused, you are not to be blamed. Even I don't understand him :S This writer has been rumbling all over the place about nothing. I don't even know why he wanted to post it at the first place. Please forgive him - he is going to end his study life and to begin a new one as a worker. Give him some slacks, ok?)

What's the topic today?

Hmm, today seems to be a rather mixed up.

My friend had a minor accident. And being the insensible me, I joked on it. She really pissed off with it. Ok, better let it cool down first..

Study in my school's computer lab is no longer conducive. It's the second time straight I slept in there after lunch? Was it of the heavy lunch or it's the fengshui of the room? Hmm.. The only thing I knew was that my neck is in serious pain now.. No more studies in there !!

And finally, I picked up German again. In my job resume, I put proficiency in German as "satisfactory". Of course I need to brush up on my language right? Guten tag! Sehr angenehm! That would mean "Good day, pleased to meet you!"

The following videos are on one of my favourite singers, Sammi Cheng, though the videos are somehow indirectly linked to her :S

The popular "Uncle bus" incident in HK. Those underaged, or those who couldn't stand vulgarities, please don't load this video :P For the rest, enjoy!


Do this when you load the video - close your eyes..



Jackie Chan and Sammi? Artistically, I have no comments.. :S

Body-builder, anyone?
Another site for muscular wannabes :P
The best History essay ever! Or so I thought..
Funny signs..
This just shows how "smart" the public is.. and how "sensitive" the engineers to the needs of the public..
Butterflies!!
Business cards, anyone?
Dog-lovers, this is your haven! (Editor.menG: The author intended to mention those who loved to be with dogs, not those who like to eat dogs :S)

A special website that feels like a UNIX system.. Always start by typing "help". =)
Special symbols .. and it all begins with the Alt key.
Chatterbot is a program that simulates a human conversation. It is something you talked to when you are bored, only to realise that their responses really piss you off. Nothing beats human's intelligence, or so I thought.. :P (Editor.menG: There are a lot of links to various chatterbots at the bottom of the page. Just go and explore it.)
Healthy food, anyone? (Disclaimer: This author didn't really check the website out. And he is not a food expert, though he is a famous glutton. So, he is not in a position to judge it nor is he liable to take any compliments for the good things from the website :P)

Supper + Beer

There was a gathering at Cheong and Lap's place. Chef Lap personally prepared few of his trademarked dishes. The dishes were good. Delicious! Haha.. Though the chef did mention he was surprised with the slightly larger crowd than he had expected.

Well, we next proceeded to the main event - alcohol drinking. Previously, during supper, I drank one can of Anchor. Well, that was just the appetizer. The main course was the coffee-flavored alcoholic drink. It was Baileys, if I'm not mistaken. It didn't taste as alcohol at first. More like a sweet coffee. Haha.. But it did have a little bit of alcohol's taste and effects. :P Overall, I would give it a 8 out of 10. Haha..

But the day before was not saying at all. Slept in computer lab for the whole afternoon when I was supposed to be studying for my exam :S

Anyway, here is a quick one on the links that I hope is useful for you to cure your boredom :P
A motivational speech by Steve Jobs. Worth listening..
For cat lovers..
Is this real? This is what I called a masterpiece =)
A classic animation vs animator..

That's all for now. I need to start preparing to find job now. Or else aunties will start nagging me.(You know who you are :P) Or should I collect my laundry now? :S

New Food Court at New Canteen

Another grand opening for the new Canteen A. And this time, it is the food court! What would the one word to describe it? The one word that struck my mind immediately is ..... "INFLATION"!! The price for almost everything rises from 10 to 30 cents.

Well, still I won't say the food is not affordable. I just need time to get used to the new price :S

Enough on the price. How about the offering? Well, for starters, there are more stalls there.. But is it? OMG, I just realized that I never pay attention on what I observed! I can't even remember how many stalls in the old Canteen A, let alone the stalls in new Canteen A. My memory is getting poor. Perhaps I need to eat fish everyday to regain my memory..

Had mixed rice for lunch and briyani rice for dinner. Both are ok, at least to me who is not a gourmet :P At least it is a blessing in disguise as I don't need to worry so much as to to think whether my lunch or dinner will be exceptionally delicious or not :P

Tomorrow's lunch will be at the new Canteen A. My lunch kakis and I planned to sample all the food there. Haha.. Next week another grand opening of a restaurant. My uni is so happening right? :P

Another Slacking Day

Today is yet another slacking day for me. Another unfulfilling day for me. After FYP is over, I don't think there is anything left for me to do.

Woke up at 8, only to find myself playing games till 10. After much nagging from Aunt Aimei (whom by now must be pissed off with me because I alwaz go and kacau her :P), I finally made up my mind to apply for job.

The application, you won't believe it, was a total disaster! There it was, the job description for a post that I found to be exciting. After several hours pouring onto the resume, it was time to write the cover letter. All was well until I wanted to know to whom I needed to write to. I clicked on "Apply Now" button and the response I got was,"This page is no longer available!" And I was =.='

I spent hours doing all the resume things and this is what I get? Well, actually it was just an hour. But still, it was too much! Luckily, the things that I had done can be used to apply on another company. Lucky me. Though there are many things to do as well.

Would tomorrow be as boring as today? Preferably not, as I planned to do something concrete today. Thinking back, I should start preparing for my FYP oral presentation that is due soon. Still, where is my momentum!!!

Anyway, before worrying about that, why don't I share with you some links? :P
Need an analogy to understand programming languages?
Whether you see it as a cutey art or cruelty to animals, well, it really is up to you to decide.

Another great collection of photoshop tutorials!

Well, it's time to yet another round of sleep. Nights everyone.. May tomorrow be a happier day for me..

ENS Exam !!

ENS exam today! My very first exam for this final semester in this university. Well, it didn't go along well, but hey, it's not the main topic for this post. The next paper is .. well, hmm... actuaclly, how should I put it? .. like 10 days later? ooh, did I mention that it is also my last paper? :P

I had the opportunity to accompany my special friend back home. Nothing much, really. I just had fun making her miserable throughout the MRT trip. Ooh, I should mention that the "torture" begins at the bus stop in my uni =)

Well, what better coincidence to happen when we even met her parents? Well, it's her who saw them? And what did I do? Of course I ran away! What else you expect me to do? After torturing their only daughter in mrt today? :P At least I'm safe now in my uni =) For now... Hehe..

Oh well, I think the wait is long enough. It's time for your favourite links!
Wanna learn how to do your oral presentation in 5-8May? Here. This should be useful :P
Hopefully the companies don't send me this kinda letters :S

Wood Wood Wood

Today is definitely a wooden day for me!!

It all started out with Aimei implying me a wood. Ok ok.. I'm not the smartest person around, but being degraded to a wood?

Then teabreak came. And the usual dinner kakis and me explored the newly renovated Canteen B. Nothing spectacular except more woods to be seen. The tables are wood. The walls are wood. Even the rubbish bins are wood!

Dinnertime came and the dinner kakis kept bullying me like a wood. As if it wasn't enough, I went to HSS Library to study, only to find more wood in the library. I think I mentioned before of the library, didn't I? It's the latest addition to my uni's library, with the decor mainly wood. It comes with an automatic sliding, glass door as its entrance. The number of computers is limited though the computers are top-notch =)

By the way, why am I blogging here? Tomorrow is my very first paper for this final semester in my uni!! My my.. With so many wood around, would I be dull like a wood? @.@ I am in dire need of my Lady Luck!

Happy 24th Birthday, Kien Min !!

Happy birthday, Kien Min!!!

(Editor.menG : This is a short post. Because they are good friends. And good friends don't need lengthy words.)

Lost in Dhoby Ghaut MRT

What a pathetic me! Meeting friends for EnS discussion at McD in Plaza Singapura (PS) near Dhoby Ghaut MRT. I took Exit A first, and I saw McDonald House. Weird, it's a commercial building with Singtel. I took the opposite exit (Exit B) of MRT and I saw empty spaces. OMG! Where on Earth is PS?! I asked other people. One person didn't know, while another pointed the direction to Exit A. @.@ Actually he was right, as the is the Exit D near Exit A, though need to do some exploration. When I reached Ps, the so-called McD at the entrance of PS has been torn down and was relocated to its basement. Further cause for confusion and panic @.@

After that, I went to collect something from Wing Yu. At least there is entertainment for me for this short holiday =)

Expenses for food today exceeded my budget. Though it is slightly more expensive (more than what I had thought of), at least it is delicious and worth the price =)


And now, as usual, links for the bored-at-heart :P
Strictly for football fans =)
For those with a flair and interest in words.. I'm definitely don't belong in this group of people =)
Tips for managing difficult people. It's a useful skills, explained in simple war/military terms. But then again, why do the descriptions for difficult people describe more of me? I'm a difficult person? Thought I kept it short and simple? But then again, maybe not. LOL.

Happy Birthday, Chiew Woon !

Well, another birthday gal. And this time, its Chiew Woon!! Yeah.. give her a round of applause ...
( Editor.menG: Err.. this writer is nuts, is it? This is for birthday wishes, not congratulatory messages la .. =.=' )

Oops.. Paiseh paiseh. Got carried away. Ok ok, let's get back to business. Like I said, it's Chiew Woon's birthday! Happy birthday! May all your dreams come true! There is nothing more to offer. There are just too many people celebrating their birthdays. Well, it's hutang first ok? Give you a better one next year (that is if I can remember la :P) ! But then again, I found this link..

Come One, Come All To Chiewwoon.

Enter a word for your own slogan:

Generated by the Advertising Slogan Generator. Get more Chiewwoon slogans.

(click on the links for more of Chiewwoons :P Or you can type your name in too, haha.)
(Edit: But then again.. The effects don't seem nice.. It diverts back to its original website. And I thought it was an applet that I can use locally. Well, it's better than nothing :P)

On another note, Cheong and I went to visit the new HSS library. The decor is nice, modern yet utilises the wooden features. There are even automatic sliding door at the entrance. The number of computers are limited though the sofas seem seductive enough to lure me to sleep on it. Haha. But one bad point on it would be on the collection of books. Somehow, I felt that the collection is too small and not interesting enough. But then again, I'm not studying HSS. Of course it's boring, well at least that was what Cheong theorised :P

Alright, and here now are the links that you all have been waiting for:
Collection of Photoshop help-pages.
Let's see if you understand the theories behind it =)
Jokes.. clever use of words .. well, just for the first few sentences :P
Tips that every lady should know =) Guys, I'm doing you a favour here.. Haha..
Another great photography website with excellent explanations. Thanks Boonkgim for the link!
Do you think you wasting on Internet too much? Try the tips here for your personal growth =)
Perhaps this describes the actions I should take? Hmmm...

Anyway, it's time for my beauty sleep. Haha.. Nights, everyone.


(Editor.menG: Before signing off, this writer absent-mindedly forgot to tell you all one thing - today is his last day at school! And he ended it with an assessment of his lab design. The results? Hmm, better not agitate him. Or else, he would bombard the next post with all his tears and sorrow.. Now all he can do is just wait for the spiderweb to grow on his head while waiting for his first exam paper to come.. Okiela, this comment is getting too long now. Nights, everyone!)

Happy Birthday, Lee Kim !

Tomorrow is 9th April, and you know what significant date is that? Yeah, it is Lee Kim's birthday! You know how old she will turn into tomorrow? Err, think I'll just leave it out. It may be a sensitive info about her :P

Bought her a slice of Black Forest and coffee cakes each (hope she is still addicted to coffee :P) The cakes were bought on behalf of some of her uni friends, whose names are withheld for privacy reasons :P. Ah Bee was there with me when we gave her the cakes. Ah Bee was supposed to sing her a birthday song, but he was so shy.. Haha.. Ah Bee, Ah Bee.. hehe...

And so, as a substitute, there is a birthday song video here, just for you, Lee Kim! (though I got showed to someone earlier on for her birthday too :P)



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On another note, I finally received my PR offer, valid upon graduation and employment. But should I take up the offer? Was there a reason for me to stay on in this country? Perhaps she can answer it? Hmmm.. added in another thing to think about :S

Well, no other tidbits to share this time around. Better luck to you all next time =) Good night and sweet dream!

Meinu in I.Hub

I couldn't believe my eyes. The computer lab was so deserted and yet she chose to sit next to me. She was a beauty, though I just caught a glimpse of her. I tried to remain calm but yet, I couldn't bring myself to look at her. I knew she was staring at me, well at least at my computer screen, but I couldn't look at her. Why did I become so timid?

Suddenly I felt so shy. I tried to act cool and macho. I pretended that I was more interested in the CNA shown than in her. In the end, she left the lab without a word said. And I was like, "What the heck did I do???!" Because of some ego (and also shyness), I had lost the golden chance, not to mention the one and only chance, to know her. I didn't really catch her face, making future meeting with her impossible. Why did I do such a stupid mistake??! If I could only turn back the clock, I would have made the effort to get to know her. And yet, I knew it was just a wishful thinking. Perhaps this will serve as a reminder for me to open up and get to know the beauties around me.

Prior to that, my usual lunch-tea break-dinner kaki friends and I decided to check out the new Canteen A. The grand opening is today! There are the old McDonald, with the new Subway, Canadian Pizza and Old Chang Kee. However, due to our taste of tasting something new, we decided to venture into a western restaurant. I shall not name it, due to the comments later on :P Due to some reasons, I left my friends to have lunch at Canteen B. I know, I know.. It is kinda pathetic :S However, their comments on the food at the western restaurant didn't sound upbeat. The food is not tasty as compared to the expensive price. So, is it lucky or unlucky to me? Hehe..

Later at night, I walked my da jie (whom I previously called aunty :P and now an uncle :S) back home. She, or rather "he", but is it "she"?.. Hmm, maybe "he" is more suitable.. But hor, it should be "she", but wait wait, shouldn't it be "he"? Arrrrgh..... I'm confused!! Da jie, please explain yourself!! Anyway, back to the story.. As I was saying, I walked da jie back to his/her* (please cut appropriately :P) house, since he/she complained that I treated my little sisters so nice, as to walk them to bus stop or even their homes, and no guys ever did the same to him/her. And so, as a courtesy, I did what all the little kids always do - to walk the uncle back. And with the rewards in mind, this little kid will happily sleep tonight, thinking of all the delicious food he will have tomorrow morning =)

But before this kid goes to sleep, he shall share some website links .. links that were given by his friends, and as well as those that were hidden and finally unearthed due to spring-cleaning activity today :P

5B as was intro-ed by Melanie to this kid. This kid hopes that Melanie and all the gals out there don't have this obsession in mind or else, you would never get married :P
Boonkgim sent me this link on analyzing the camera's quality. Handy when I'm planning to buy a new camera for my convo this coming July. Yes yes.. I know I am old :) And yet I acted like a kid :P
This link is just one of the many PsLover's links that showcase the amazing effects of using Photoshop. The very best way to learn Photoshop is by example, adn this website offered a lot of fancy ideas that I had practised a long long time ago. I chanced upon this website after a long time and in an appropriate time too. Melanie, I will photoshop your photos using the skills in this website. You just wait and see ya?

That's all folks. Time for sleep. Tomorrow will be a better day for me =)

Back and Alive!!!

Well, this blog is back and alive !! After many weeks (or is it months? :P) of holidays .. also the "inconsiderate" comments by Eddie-san, hehe.. finally, this blog is back to business..

Firstly, I have to apologize.. Seriously.. It was CNY and I kinda took some holiday off.. Then my FYP was kinda rushing also. Deadlines to meet, with some people's FYP that required my help as well (people, you know who you are :P)

Now that my FYP report has been submitted and the project demo is over, I have plenty of free time =) Neglecting the fact that the results from both the written report and the demo are not up to standard, I should really enjoy my last few weeks in uni right? :P

Oh well, as usual .. Let me bombard you, my long-missing visitors, with all the website links taht I had obtained from my friends, and as well from StumbleUpon. Seriously, for those with nothing to do, those without a sense of direction, StumbleUpon can help you alot :P
