it's the year of the moo moo!

went to nussu bash to support serene in the pageant on saturday! she didnt win anything but i'm sure it was a great experience~

sunday was cny eve.. went over to my uncle's house for prayers n reunion lunch.. my cousin's dog is damn cute..smart n stupid at the same time haha then after that we went home for some last minute spring cleaning b4 we had our own reunion dinner.. just the family at long beach seafood xD ate my fill.. hoho!

new year's day was spent visiting ONE house.. and then relatives came over to our house for dinner n of coz mahjong! those who didnt get to play mahjong went over to play monopoly.. lol!

day 2 was steamboat at my house... plus "lo hei" too~ but the mood was pretty much gone already.. coz next day every1 had to go back to work.. to school.. yea even though i have no sch on wed ahaha =X

i feel that this year's cny mood isnt there... no idea why.. numb already? =\ anyway it's back to school tmr.. and tutorials are starting already! that's a sign of more work to come.. week 3 of sch.. 10 more weeks to go! wa ha ha and then it's the great 3 month holiday! looking so far ahead already.. january's not even over yet..

been watching the australian open for the past few days.. the business end of it is fast approaching... the match currently in progress is between nadal n simon with nadal 6-2 and 7-5 up.. 2 of the players i fancied got knocked out la.. djokovic n tsonga.. at least nadal still has a shot to go to the finals =) and i cant believe that nadal is 2 months younger than me! goodness!

so to end off.. happy chinese new year every1!

it's been a week since i last updated.. hoho time really flies huh...

week 2 of sem 2 is already half gone..and i'll have to say today was a rather eventful day... 1 of my math mods..3252 requires us to do a review of the previous lecture... like a short presentation during lecture.. and i was telling jeanie wont be so heng 1.... 100+ people... wont tio 1... today the lecturer announced that he has RANDOMLY(remember this word..) picked 2 names to do the 1st 2 reviews respectively... the 1st person to do the review.. wasnt my name... henggg.... then he said and this next person will review this friday's lecture.. Poon Chuan Zhen Terrence...

all i did was O_O

talk abt randomness n probability... all a bunch of lies.. where got so heng la! well probably this is a start for me to be more outspoken? hoho

cny's less than a week away.. still dun feel the new year mood.. but i do feel like playing mahjong though haha that's always the highlight of cny =X but this year's cny really does feel different.. like really no feeling.. it feels as though it's just another holiday for us to rest... but well perhaps coz it's too near to the festive season of xmas n the angmoh new year.. well.. the feeling will come this weekend.. when the reunion dinners start to kick in and the angbaos start flowing in.. ahaha

did 1 month worth of holidays just went by? it didnt feel like 1 month.. but anyway.. back to reality.. back to school.. back to the beginning of the dreaded vicious cycle of uni life... but at least there's something worth looking forward to at the end of this sem.. a 3 month vacation!

well it's not a brand new academic year but hey.. it's a brand new 2009.. a new sem.. a new beginning.. 1st time i'm gonna try 4 core modules.. u can do it! and for the 1st time i'm using some lecture theatres that i've never used b4.. lt26..lt34..where's that man.. haha i do miss lt23 though.. not gonna use it for this sem.. but it's like i will definitely step into that lt for every sem since i started uni.. no lt23 this sem =X

weekend was spent...hm.. dunnoe whether was it fruitfully or not.. on sat went to attend this exhibition on australian property with my parents.. seems like a pretty good area to go into.. especially now with the exchange rate being very favourable for sing dollars

tonite's the big match! manchester united - chelsea! 12midnight! wont miss it even if it means not much sleep for 1st day of sch~ haha! cant wait!

many of u should know that i absolutely hate reading... 1: i read at a veryy slow pace.. 2: the slow pace of reading makes me feel like sleeping and 3: becoz of the very slow pace.. i tend to re-read stuff just to understand it... but recently.. reading is wat that's keeping me going... it's 1 thing that keeps my mind from wandering n thinking too much..given the recent event... oh well...my hopes were high.. i'm serious abt it.. but the harsh reality had to come n hit me real hard

went out to jog today.. seeing that the sun was in a good mood.. i thought some sun would do no harm...besides, i needed the run to keep my mind off stuff n to keep my body going =) but i guessed i overdid it... ran too long n too fast for my body's liking... felt nauseous more than halfway thru my run... started to walk.. i swear at 1 point of time i almost blacked out... had to slowly make my way home.. ppl say it's good to push your body to its limit.. not in this case.. hmm well i'm pretty sure it's a case of mild dehydration =\

since new year's day.. i've spent every day alone.. coz my parents were away on a cruise n my sis is out everyday with bro-in-law to do up their new house.. go shopping for stuff for their house etc.. it's never good to be a lightbulb when it comes to this kinda stuff.. i mean they will definitely say it's ok or something.. but i'm sure they prefer to be alone.. yea..

anyway as i was saying.. my parents are finally back from their cruise and haiz.. my dad's back at work n so my mum's getting me to do all the spring cleaning in the house again.. after i did the windows a few weeks ago.. now she wants me to clean the tiles outside my house.. using those high-pressure jet cleaners.. haha well.. beats reading! =X

Happy 2009!

Friday, January 2, 2009

It's a new year! A brand new beginning!

it's always good to set targets for yourself.. in that way.. u will have something to work towards but targets should always be realistic.. no point aiming to become the strongest, fastest, highest in watever field... as the saying goes.. one mountain taller than another mountain (一山还比一山高）well for me, my target is simple.. to become better than wat i am. even if it is just a tiny little improvement, i think it is worth a pat on the back...a job well done..let's carry on improving

should u not achieve your target.. no point dwelling on it.. coz life still goes on...just move on and keep smiling! a smile does wonders... haha i guess that's 1 of my mottos in life...just keep smiling =)

have been pretty affected by recent events at home and among my friends..whether it is good or bad...should face the music and we shall see how it goes~

the last day of 2008 taught me some stuff... that tennis can be quite fun...that 11 people playing sparklers together can make me choke n gasp for fresh air (it was really that bad)... that people DO throw toilet roll down from high rise buildings to celebrate the new year... that people can snore really REALLY loud until i didnt even get 1 wink, let alone 40 winks....

i'm troubled over bidding matters.. i really dunnoe wat mods to bid for... running out of mods to take.. dun have the luxury of picking the mods like when i was in year 1.. now it's the mods that pick me.. and i cant be outbidded coz already very limited mods to take already.. haiz.. =X

anyway here's wishing every1 a happy new 2009! look forward to the new year n of coz the ox year that is approaching in 3 weeks time!
