I Feel ...

first 2 days of the new semester were pretty alright. to our joy ... and also adding on to our boredom, there were some cancelling and shortening of lessons. it made me came home this afternoon during the 3.5 hrs break. haha.

just an hour lesson tomorrow afternoon, should i go? haha.

i'm bored.

drifting apart, i hope i had never said those words ... but time couldn't be turned back, and all i can do is to maintain the distance ...

the distance ... to help me forget what i've seen, what i've experienced.

the distance ... that is so far that i can no longer remember the way back.

only the distance ... that can erase my memory of you.

oh yes ... or no?

just less than a day to the new semester. all of a sudden, i felt a sense of emptiness. well, i've been anticipating the new semester, but now, i hope it doesn't start so soon ... perhaps due to that reason.

either way, school is still going to start despite me feeling bad or good, so ... let's just hope for the better. 12 long weeks before the next vacation ... and soon after the vacation, the semestral exams will commence. that will spell the end of year 2 in SP. everything seems to be moving at a fast pace.

some add-ons to the recap i had a few entries ago, that was the sentosa trip on wednesday, group interview at SENTOSA again on thursday and orientation for the new job at SENTOSA yesterday.

since i've nothing to do anyway, let's talk abt the orientation. i reached at around 1130 with 2 other people, and we waited till 1230 before we began the orientation. first we went to fort siloso, where we took a short tram ride up and toured a small part before proceeding to the skytower when the 4th person joined us. that was followed by images of singapore, then the merlion to end the day trip.

had a 3-hour lecture with the supervisor, then off for dinner break. after dinner, was songs of the sea. the display was splendid i would say, and the staff were energetic. just some self-entertaining i suppose, because us audience were not really swaying and clapping to the music.

we're informed of our posting after the show - me at fort siloso, nicholas tee and hui shan at songs of the sea, and rainee at images of singapore. only rainee got what she wished for, while for me, i hope to be posted to skytower instead. but well, i think it's fine as fort siloso seems to be the the most difficult to manage as compared to the other 4 attractions. anyway, i should be running between songs of the sea (on weekdays) and fort siloso (on weekends). not bad.

that's all for the orientation. still don't know my schedule yet, but i suppose we all would be starting next week onwards. as for me, it should either be on next saturday or sunday. that's all.

just played mahjong from 1230 - 2030. won a dollar after squashing my beautiful butt for 8 hours. haha. but yea, winning or losing doesn't matter, the important thing is to enjoy the process of playing with your buddies.

guess that briefly summarise my last week of vacation. good bye =D.

as the sun sets ... all i'm left with is darkness. but when it rises the next day, my day will be brighten again. if only life is this simple ...

sunbathing

trip to sentosa today with clique. in the end, all of us were there - some of us met at the designated time, some came later, and some even later. haha.

just a rough summary of what happened today. met up with fiona, nicholas, Jun Rong and Zi Rong at harbourfront mrt, while the rest basically couldn't make in on time, due to some unspoken reasons. haha. so we slacked at mac, walked around and finally decided to head to sentosa first, where we put down our bags at west siloso, and started playing freesbie and simply slacking. oh yes, they buried me in the sand as well. haha.

soon after (ok, not really soon), andy, janet and sarah came. then, i went to find wilman, my manager, before proceeding back to find the guys and i started my sunbathing plan. haha. nothing much though, just lying down there, allowing the sun to tan my fair body. ever since i graduated from secondary school, i haven't been dark as i haven't been in the sun for basketball training. this time round, i'm determined to get my body well tanned again. haha.

then, shirley came, and finally johnny and madeline. there, a total of 11 of us. the complete clique. haha. they drew some nice pictures on the sand by the cartoonist - Andy Lim. damn, he can really draw. haha. throughout the whole evening starting from 4+, i was just sunbathing and dozing off in the small shelter.

yes, there you see, i was sunbathing from roughly 2pm all the way to 5, 6pm. and that resulted in the bright red skin i have now. painful. but yes, that's part of my plan afterall! haha.

off we went at around 8pm, heading to vivo city for dinner. had Gyu Don at sakae, and some okonomoyaki (amazingly, i can pronounce this without much problems, haha) and anago nigiri. and here, it sums up the whole day.

all in all, today was just a normal day in sentosa with clique. had fun though, especially when i didn't really do anything much there. maybe this is just the simple life i'm looking for all along.

other than that, seriously, today was just another nice outing with friends =D.

Countdown To ...

Semester 2 of AY 07/08!!!

all of you out there must think that i'm crazy. people out there are whining over why SP is giving only 4 weeks of vacation, while other polys are giving their students more than 6 weeks to recharge. haha!

like i've mentioned posts ago, that this vacation would be a boring one, and i'm spot on. for the past 3 weeks, i was either working, jogging, playing mahjong or simply doing nothing at all. but yea, i felt that i've rested enough, and should be ready to go for the next semester.

took a look at the new timetable, and it is pretty packed. imagine 12 weeks of lessons before we get our next break, haha, but this should do alright for me. afterall, i really dread long vacations.

throughout the whole vacation, there were times when i felt really f**ked up, down, lost, confused and downhearted, but i want to really thank all who had expressed their concern for me =D. you guys ... and girls, were great. i might not show, but i really appreciated it.

ok, on a lighter note, i think i'm sleeping better now, though i still sleep kind of late (due to late night soccer matches, and F**k it when there'll yet be another match tomorrow morning at 250am which i want to watch badly), and wake up very early because of my body clock. ok, 12 1 am is not late for most people, but it's really really late for me. haha.

some outings to highlight as well, such as the kbox trip with 2 other guys (gay-ish huh?!), mahjong sessions with buddies, ice skating and movie trips with clique, and random roaming with friends. these basically sum up my whole vacation.

just 5 more days to the new semester. despite the boring days of vacation, time seems to be passing quite quickly as well, fortunately. so let's just wish all good luck and good health to welcome the new semester. it's time to work hard (kind of disappointed with my results this time). haha.

bye bye.

Evan Almighty

this blog is amost becoming a blog where i review alot of stuff. haha.

ok, Evan Almighty. a 3/5 from me. this turned out bad for me because i was anticipating a hilarious movie after watching the trailer. i guess the trailer was much funnier. this 'sequel' was not as good as Bruce Almighty as that was so much more fun to watch. although both didn't quite make any sense, i still think Bruce Almighty was a better movie.

saving the movie were the terrific grahics, sound effects and some really true phrases. in simple forms, i remembered this part when 'god' told the female something, that's when you pray for something, don't expect it to be ready in parcels; 'god' will instead present them in forms of opportunities. i guess that's something very true and close to the heart. ok, i'm not a christ believer, but at least, i do pray at times to buddha. haha. sincerely of course. so i think, we should grab most opportunities, if not all, when they come, so that we won't have much regrets in life.

also saving the movie from further blushes was the message it was trying to get across the audience. from my point of view, the scriptwriter is trying to tell the people that we should conserve, and stop threatening wildlife. it also showed how humans are so selfish that nothing else in the world matters. talk about saving the earth.

other than that, it was not really a show worth watching. too much seriousness from the comedy audience expect after watching Bruce Almighty. maybe it'll be nice to get the dvd and watch it while slouching at home, trying to spend your time, but it's not worth it watch in the cinema. well, it's just my views anyway. ignore if you think you should catch the movie. haha.

other than that, i guess today was pretty much a bad day. bye.

tchers' day

well ... i know it's a day late, but still, happy tchers' day.

went back to dss on friday, didn't talk to any of my teachers. afterall, most of them have left for MOE, so, i went back just to enjoy the fantastic canteen food =D. it was surprising to see so many 2005'4e1's, roughly 20 of us. took a group photo, sent them and i went off. haha. ai ling even said that i was 'dao', well ... just felt awkward. haha.

back to dss, and in the end, we didn't go out. haha, we were all dressed up to go somewhere, but they ended up at my house playing mahjong, again. it's a very good way to work your brain and spend the time, but when you lose, you'll probably think that you should have spent it somewhere else. ok, i won, so i have nothing much to complain.

1 week's gone. 3 weeks of vacation left. i don't think i can find a new job within these 3 weeks, so i guess i shall just stay at thai express for yet 1 more year. you see, i can't possibly get a new job during the next long vacation as we have to go for industrial training during the academic year-end vacation, which is abt 9-10 weeks long.

other than that, this is just another ordinary update of my life so far. nothing exciting and extraordinary. pretty mundane and sedentary. what else can an 'ah pek' ask for? haha.

1 more week to go =D
