new phone

Yay! i;m getting a new phone: nokia 5300. It'ld be better if i manage to finish tranferring all the stuff before my lessons start.

I've registered for Singapore Marathon!! 42.195km coming up on 2nd December. Trust me. It's the best way to spend your sunday. Cos just one run can change the way you think about life forever. For those who wonder why some ppl r crazy abt running, try doing a 21km(walk/run) alone without stopping.It'll just be less than 3hrs.But it'll be worth every second you spend in it:)
And it's not just about that sense of achievement.



whoa.. I'm super confused Now la... but i still...

not alone

I was just browsing through the friendster help page to see if anyone was facing the same error 201 as me. Well, none of such messages appeared in the faq page, so i sent in my query. But after i sent it in, i looked over at "my stuff" column and saw that most of the recent queries that friendster has received were all on this error. Well, it's good to know that i'm not alone :)
somebody help me... i can't log in for like 1 week now:(

I'll do the normal post first; Well, yesterday i was super-early for the lecture since i had nothing to do in the morning. So, i met and joined this group of people who were practicing some dance for rag. Well, after learning several dances, i still think that the ny mass dance was cool:)
I now realise what Ms chiew meant by advicing me to keep my driving lessons going. It's really tough to do so, especially at this uncertain time, when i really don't know what pops up next week. And i'm like supposed to beek 1.5 weeks in advance or so? I've already cancelled about 6 lessons(fortunately with refund) so far. Well, guess i'll have to wait till it's all over.

lectures...

i shall now blog on yesterday as well: Yesterday, i went for the hp screening at plaza Singapura. It was very fun to meet up with the rest of the Union Camp King Kong gang. Shawn turned out to be a totally cool guy. UC would have been quite different if he had been around...haha...all the more we must find the mosquito that infected him and admit it into a hospital too ...lol...before the hp screening, i went around a few shops, looking for a good shoe for the upcoming long distance runs.

Today, i got myself a new shoe Asics gel cumulus. Better start training. But can't seem to find the time leh:( Think i need to go back to the running system that i used in my JC- To run super early in the morning. I'll need a locker in NUS to keep my stuff then. Oh ya.. my first unofficial lecture today. Quite okay, but i think i should pay more attention, even though i know most of it. Yes. i'm going to be going back tommorrow:)
I dropped by @ NYJC too!

hptmr

I'll be going for Harry Potter movie screening tmr @ GV Marina. Union campers only:P I really think $2 is a good price (even though it doesn't include popcorn & drinks) yay! GV rocks!
As for the new book; well, i guess i'll just wait for the price to go down with the paperback edition or just wait for the movie to be released.

Here's the youtube videos on Union camp:



This one starts with fright night:

Engine!

This is for those engineering ppl who are too lazy to check their e-mail; who need more info on the math prep lectures and the welcome tea session.

one more thing:
To my friends:
Please do note that i can't seem to log in into my frienster account:( There's some error. I'll have to wait till i get my laptop. So, forgive me if i forget any of your B'days :(

bad run:(

Wahh.. i just looked up the google earth to find the distance i ran on one of the nghts of the Union camp. dissappointed;2.12Km X 2. My timing?? 24:24mins. Well, i thought i ran fast la, but no it's not so fast. If i had known the distance, i'ld have gone for below 20 mins. well, i shall excuse myself since there were extreme uphills and downhills. Well, quite tired today- went to temple in the morning, driving lesson in the afternoon and QiuHan's B'day party at night... I'll blog tmr.I'll have nothing much to do.

emo-the IN thing

"emo is the IN thing now."

I've been wanting to blog about this for quite sometime.

just some surprising things about me::

Intro::Everytime someone fails to reply me or everytime someone ignores me, be it a stranger or somone i know, or even my close friend, i'll get super-emo. 'Emo' here doesn't mean angry. It just means that i'll feel extremely hurt:(:( Yes. i know it's difficult to survive in today's world with this kinda thing, but i've been living (mostly) happily for the past 2 years in my JC :) Thanks a lot to my friends and tutors who took great care of me :) Ya...Although it may not be very obvious to some of you all, I'm a super-sensitive to the people around me. However, there's one thing that has enabled me to cope with this: Whenever i emo, i'll ask myself to sort things out logically and to resolve the situation as soon as possible.

Cos, over the years i've come to realise that emo-ing is of no use. There's also no use to feeling sad or dissapointed.Really. Think: Is feeling this way going to solve anything? NO. So, why waste your time?? ya.. that's why i feel that it's more efficient to think about things and solve them immediately. It really makes me feel better since it's a way of tranferring worries from the heart to the mind.

1. Till now, i've been thinking about the kind of songs that i like to listen to. I've normally considered myself to be listening to a wide variety of songs; from Linkin Park to Daniel Powter. But recently, i've just noticed something: about 97% of the songs that I enjoy listening to, are emotional songs. C'mon, just look: Love you lately, Bad day- Daniel powter. This i promise you- N'sync. I can't hate you anymore- Nick Lachey. In the end, Crawling- Linkin Park... and the list goes on.

2.I save each and every msn chats. Yes. Even those where I msg and get no reply.

3. I started running long distances frequently to make myself fell better, whenever i emo.
Well, it's really not that i run to stop emo-ing,but yah.. that's sort of how it started.

There's more, but i think i'll just stop here.

first lectures

YaYYY !! my first lectures are going to be next week! well, they are actually some bridging lectures for poly students but they'll be going through stuff such as partial differentiation, which would be usefull to me. Some revision wouldn't hurt too, and i can't wait for my first lecture,,, so, why not?

I went for driving today. I met siti near the YCK station! I've really not been keeping in touch with my secondary school people. I'm much better now, but there's still a lot of room for improvement.ya.. then i dropped by nyjc. Now, i've to study for my QET and figure out the module bidding thing, so i can't stay too long at ny these days:( Sorry guys... hey, i'll try to stay back next week okay? i'll try to be there all the way till you all go off.. I talked to Ms Chiew today. I had to run to 'catch' her as she was going to the carpark. We had a really long talk.

It feels much better have people who care about me around :) yes. I'm going to sleep in peace tonight:)
ohh.. what a emo guy... haha...

USP

YAY!!! I got into USP!!! wah.. dunno why i got the e-mail so late lor.. my fren got it like 3 wks after the interview... Well i guess they took more time for foreign students or something, which doesn't really matter now.. what does is,

I GOT INTO USP!!!!

wahhhhhh...dun emo leh...

UC1

I'll do a quick post here, as i'm supposed to be mugging for my QET this thursday. Union camp was fun! but i'll pic-blog on friday. there's a lot to blog abt. Desmond(NY26thSC) was there!

UC

i'll be off for union camp from tmr till fri night( or maybe sat morning). Lets just hope that i'll get some time to run, yeah?

SBR

I'm still having leg muscle pains from the training. haha.. that shows that i seriously lacked some speed.
Shears Bridge run coming up on 26th August!! Must start training already, if i want to break my previous timing. But i won't be able to train till 19th july leh.. and after NUS starts..???
well, maybe i'll have to be more disciplined and run like i did when i came into nyjc:)

i'mstillthinkingabtu, not emo-ing, but jus thinking onwhattodonext.i'lltrytotalktoub4igooffforcampk?

5th July 07

Today was a busy day: This morning i went to NUS wif pradeep to collect my medical report. then had lunch at the science canteen. I met a lot of ppl that i knew!! haha.. i'll get exited at this kinda thing. I saw the 2 friends, whom i met during the medical check-up, at the central library bus stop. And i saw one of my NY friends too...I was actually planning to go to my driving centre straight away, but it was too early:( So, i popped into AMK library, to get and read some books. Ya.. i've to brush up my english too. It should be getting worse without those GP tutors:(
My driving lesson today: I got to brush up on the common mistakes I make. It's better to correct them at this early stage.I'll be having another lesson tommorrow.~ 15 Km of driving.
After my driving lesson, i went to run @ ny. haha.. I met Mr. Tonny Lim and was talking to him for a while. I wanted to run at high-speed, so that i get more used to it.After warming up for a round, , i ran 3 rounds(5min 3 secs), and another 3 rounds(5min 8 secs). And another round to cool down... Quite tiring, my legs feel very light now. I'll wait for them to recover, i think i need more of this kind of training before i return back to the 10km one.

OUT!!

Driving lesson taday was super fun, but tiring as well. When i used to be a passenger, i thought that driving was fun stuff. haha.. But I now realise how tough it can be. Well, maybe it'll be fun once i manage to get my concepts right. This was my 3rd lesson and we went out of the driving circuits-into the streets. can you believe that?? I was thinking that i'll only be able to get out after atleast 10 lessons or so, since i stll felt that i'ld be a dangerous person on the road. but nope- i didn't have any accidents today- thanks to my instructor, who saved me several times. The worst part was when a bus drivir horned at me from behind- cos i took too long to move:(
I think i've to put in some effort to correct my mistakes. So, i shall acknowledge some( the more common ones) of them here:

When moving off from rest:
1. fails to ensure that the gear is at the 1st gear
2. Takes a long time to get biting point
3. while trying to get my biting point, i tend to accelerate too harshly(cannot hold my acceleraton pedal at the right position)
4. After getting the biting point, i tend to release the clutch too fast; this makes the car jerk forwards.
5. as a result of 4., my engine stalls.:(

Things to remember:
when moving off:
hold pedal A after holding pedal C just B4 biting point, and slowly release pedal C
when changing gear:Reduce the effect of engine brake by pressing A up & C down @ the same time.

Last few notes to self:
do look at the traffic light & be patient with the car-it has been very patient with you.

i drove a total of ~24km today:)

I had my second driving lesson today. Very fun, cos the instructor was quite patient with me. I'm thinking that i need to ride my bicycle more to practice, how odd...
anyway, i forgot to post this pic of gary pulling ben(along with his table).
The table (along with ben) was pulled for several meters b4 this pic was taken...

Pre-camp meeting!!!

Cheer:: """....We WILL Win The WAR THIS TIME...."""
me:"then, next time leh??"

A group Photo, i'm @ RHS we were all given nos to diplay, i'm no 10. Yay! i took the lateral inversion into consideration!

During the games... we stayed till abt 11, i think. It was a long way from lakeside mrt to my home, but i'll have to get used to long journeys

the final game: we were supposed to close our eyes...

This is the first time i didn't have to to forfeit during ice-breaking games.. haha. . So lucky, right? Everyone else was asked to say out other ppl's names at least once lor.. but i wasn't asked even once!! can you believe my luck?? it's true!!

I look forward to the union camp, next week, i think...

And yes, i've completely stopped emo-ing! maybe i've emo-ed

emo-not

Yay! I've stopped emo-ing now. I'll be going for my pre-union camp gathering this evening.
Well, i'm not exactly going to declare that i shall stop trying to make it fine, but i'm just going to say that i'll eventually make it fine.Yah... I know that it just needs some time...
