To the remaining people of s77 still visiting this blog, this is a video of maf 08 light up. You cant really see the confetti but you definitely can hear the cannons being fired and the cheers that ensue. Enjoy people.

2007-09-26T20:21:00.000+08:00

tragic that i won't be able to make it next year. this year's maf was fucking awesome, probably had the best decor amongst the 4 years of maf that i've been to. the dangling lights from the 3rd floor outside the readingroom was something new, they had that neat flashing star thing, and the dragon just outdid all the other centrepieces. i heard they fucking sewed it up. must've taken a lot of effort.

since we did it last year, its become tradition that we fire confetti off during the grand light up, so everyone cheers for it assuming it was planned by council. this year we had 5 cannons as opposed to last year's 1, but we had less cheering, which was disappointing. i blame it on the general reduced turnout this year. it seems they couldn't even fill the entire that-thing-in-the-centre-that-i-shall-refer-to-as-the-parade-square.

to relive the moment, you can watch the video that hongyu's friend, i uploaded it to youtube but i don't know if it'll embed. you can distinctly hear the cannons going off at about 36seconds into the video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FJZvGDbTIQ

lamentably, we forgot to pray to chang er this year as bj the cb ran off with all our sparklers. and because i was feeling rather down at having to book in IMMEDIATELY after maf for guard duty, i didn't participate in the sing and dance sessions, which i thought were rather docile this year anyway. we used to have that random spontaneous, running through the crowds choo-choo-train style (hands on the shoulders of the guy in front.)

and at the end of the day, because of chenghao's poor organisational skills, everyone just ended up standing around in the parade square, instead of heading off somewhere for supper. and from what i hear, no one went for supper anyway. now everyone, join me in pointing at chenghao and having a collective laugh at his expense. HAHAHAHA.

random observations:
1) ny girls really like their school uniform.
2) hot chicks were very absent.
3) the females in our junior class have better taste in footwear.

CURRENTLY PLANNING CHALET #2, SCHEDULED TENTATIVELY ON DECEMBER 15TH.

however, we have encountered certain issues, and need some opinions. we've narrowed our chalet options to aloha changi (the july one) and coasta sands pasir ris (a double storeyed version of the J2 chalet). aloha changi is pretty big, fits everyone comfortably, but is ridiculously distant from civilisation. to put things into perspective, the cab ride from tampines mall was $5+. coasta sands pasir ris is in walking distance from downtown east, chicks, and food, but to describe it as "small" is a vast understatement. its more or less the equivalent of a hotel room without the luxury, the room service and the pay-to-view porn. 2 floors though, so thats 2x hotel room.

please note that since this time the chalet is going to be 3D2N, we will most probably have to travel to a nearby place and dine, unless you plan on having fast food for every meal. also, it is unlikely anyone will be able to loan a vehicle from parents, considering the duration of the chalet. so, if you can be bothered, post in that chatbox on the right what whether you'd rather have aloha changi, or coasta sands pasirris. not expecting too many replies, but if you read this, and you know your friend doesn't, please ask him/her to post. i will be booking the chalet soon, highly likely by next weekend.

withmuchlove,
bob.

2007-07-28T23:06:00.000+08:00

dear all,

since our class chalet has concluded for a while now, i thought i'd pen some of my observations and thoughts, to make those who didn't come feel like ripping their eyes from their sockets and eating them, and to provide those who came a more complete picture of the whole chalet project. think of this as a kind of AAR/post activity reflection/random need-to-get-alcohol-out-of-my-system bitching.

first i believe it'll be appropriate to thank everyone for showing up; we got 17 seniors, including people who were previously MIA for many other outings like ONASIDENOTE!DAWEI, to attend. also there was a relatively large number of juniors around. i'll be so brazen as to congratulate myself for a job well done, because i'm just that damn sure that everyone enjoyed themselves. and if you are amongst those who can't decide if you did enjoy yourself, please recall the time when you went for that mr. bean's holiday movie outing. the one that left you feeling like you ordered ice kachang but didn't get the ice.

anyways, that aside.

observation#1
BBQing in the rain is fucking retarded, but it makes for a tonne of fun. generally i don't agree with BBQs cause its so much trouble to do everything. like starting the fire, waiting for the charcoal to burn, hoping the fire doesn't die, fanning the flames like your life depends on it, throwing alcohol into the fire then laughing in fits of gleeful joy, and marinating various foods in VODKA and then serving to unknowing victims. and after all that work, your food gets burnt anyway, you get diarrhoea and those cooking hardly eat anything. i think i had like 2 fucking sausages (tom) the whole night.

but the whole rain thing made it 10x funner. or maybe it was laughing at zijian's shitty cooking skills. or giving names to the sausages. whatever, the BBQing was rather enjoyable.

observation#2
if my life depended on it, the person i'd choose to help me gamble is edwin. he puts YANFEI, KINGOFGAMBLERS, to shame. i'm sure with his nimble hands, and agile fingers, he could pick out of the ace of spades from a deck of 256 cards, or the 9 panadols from a mountain of mahjong tiles. oh. and if i could choose his opponent, it'd be GECHENGHAO. his skill makes me want to "take my pen, stick it through my eye, into my brain. and swirl", like june tan once commented of my GP block test essay handwriting.

observation#3
when you're drunk, your head feels heavy, the world swirls, you don't hear shit, and you take half a screen to do a U turn in snake2. i did some simple calculations (while sober), assuming the volume of a plastic cup is 80ml, and that i had a total of 1.5 cups of vodka @40% concentration of alcohol. it came up to 48ml of alcohol that i had running in my blood. or wherever it goes after you drink it. wtf. thats like 12903819023 bottles of beer. i'm never drinking alcohol ever again. not even if you give me money and sexual favours (unless you're aww). i can get high enough on disney and nostalgia, thank you.

observation#4
people work like lemmings. or sheep, if you haven't tried the game of midgets with green hair.

there was this mass exodus at about 10, probably the result of a herd mentality that led everyone to conclude that since someone was leaving, its a good idea to just blindly follow suit. omg, my friend is eating shit for lunch, i can't be bothered to put the brain that god gave me to good use, so i'll just have that same shit too! i'm actually just sore that few people stayed over, not that i was actually sober enough to notice.

other random things
*lingerie is fucking expensive.
*edwin watches ugly betty at 10pm.
*2 servings of a single whopper < a double whopper. at least to yiheng
*jiayi's sleeping posture is something like this.

but she's 19283712837x prettier.
*a mini green dustbin is actually quite a good receptacle for money.

anyways, since this chalet was a relative success, except for the fact that most people didn't stay, hongyu and i will try our bestest bests to do one in december. oh, about finances, i made a loss of 40$, because _all_seniors_ were supposed to pay 15$, but some didn't, because (i speculate) they didn't stayover. the fee is a standard 15$ to encourage people to stay over, and to be fair to those who didn't/can't stayover but paid 15$ anyway. but its ok, cause i sold bingcheng a pair of emart shoes for 40$, so that went into covering the costs.

possible improvements at the next chalet.
1. NO ALCOHOL. or at least for me.
2. fucking overcharge everyone first, then return the money if there's excess.
3. the place needs some music.
4. hongyu thinks a smaller place will promote greater interaction between people, as opposed to having fragmented groups of people doing their own stuff.

finally, as the self-proclaimed main organiser, i'd like to thank a few people. hongyu for actually doing most, if not all, of the shit, while i take all the credit. lijia for doing all the BBQ stuff, like contacting the wholesale dudes for food, getting meihui to bring beehoon, shopping at NTUC. bingcheng and his dad for buying my emart shoes. shuhui for helping us choose lijia's birthday present. anyone who helped in one way or another in making the chalet project a success, but wasn't significant enough for me to spell their name out. all of you for coming.

2007-07-20T21:56:00.001+08:00

if you haven't already received my sms about the chalet check in time, your phone is damaged, or you have not confirmed attendance. anyways, in case you fall into one of those categories, omgjoellam, the check in time for the chalet, as i've mentioned in my sms, is 3pm, i suppose we'll be there then, so you can start coming at about 3. the BBQ tentatively should start about 6+.

lijia's 21st birthday is on 24th july which is just 2 days after the chalet, we might be buying shit for her. you probably noticed it says "might". this is cause we're actually very poor people, and we do not have sufficient funds. will appreciate any generous sponsors.

i'm stuck in london for attachment which starts next week. :\
and most pple have gone home! so it's quite sian here. -_- but my friends and i have gone shopping to kill time. :D summer sales started this week!! like the great singapore sale right. lol. wheeeeeee!

wahh must mention about abercrombie&fitch's flagship store here. it's damn cool. it's like a club inside!! dark and clubbing music. and the sale assistants-- hot guys and girls who are supposedly part time models (according to my friend). ehhh but the clothes are arranged soooooo neatly and the jeans are in glass displays. makes it seem like a "see no touch" place. :\
haha and the strange thing is that they dont' even have a signboard outside. just a white mansion-like convert, off regent st.
lol sounds like i'm advertising for them. -_- interesting mahh.

london's weather is realllly weird. it's not even summer. it's like reversing back to winter now!! brrr. :\

heard that junior class is gonna celebrate class bday? :D enthu.

2007-06-20T20:51:00.000+08:00

its booked.

2007-06-11T21:51:00.000+08:00

for those who are too stupid to read so many words, those in bold are the essentials

dear all, as you may already know, hongyu and i were unable to secure a 2 day chalet, which the majority voted positively for, because all the saturday slots for the month of july have, tragically, been booked out in all chalets (at least all those that hongyu checked with). since july won in the polls, and not wanting to let everyone, who has been waiting in eager anticipation, down, we have therefore decided to go ahead with a 1 day chalet at aloha changi "fairy point bungalow 2", on july 22nd, sunday.

i understand that most of the guys have national service commitments to attend to on monday, and will possibly not be able to stay the night, however, i appeal to all of you to take monday off, and spend a fun filled day in the company of your ex classmates, eating, gaming, alcoholing, and sexing. hongyu insists we have a barbeque, and juniors be invited as well. other details, such as the amount that each will have to pay and all that crap, have yet to be ironed out. although this is merely a prelude to the one that we'll have in december, i guarantee buffoonery of the highest quality, not like those other outings put together by chenghao.

of course, if i do not relate the tribulations and hongyu and i went through to finally arrive at this moment, i'd be doing a great injustice to the amount of hard work that hongyu has put in. initially the plan was the book a place at aloha if zijian's changi fell through. but aloha was full, contrary to what zijian had told us previously. then hongyu found vacancies at coasta sands, but the AXS machine that he went to didn't work. and then their fucking online booking was down. if you don't know how coasta sands works, they've got a special rate for NTUC members and those who book through the internet/AXS machines. else you pay the "published rate" which is about an additional $120. so we began a frantic search for an NTUC member, but concluded that hongyu would call them up the next day anyway. he called them up, and was told that they didn't have vacancies for the 21st to 23rd period anymore.

that was a dark period for the both of us, who were faced with the possible falling through of our chalet plans, and having to disappoint the class with the declaration of the news. we exchanged many messages trying to find the best solution to the predicament. hongyu suggested staying 1 day at coasta sands, and another day at some other chalet with 4 hours between check out/in time which would be spent hanging out at the beach. he scoured other chalets (coasta sands sentosa, previously overlooked because of its size), but could not find any availabilities. we eventually came to an agreement that the holding a 1 day chalet in july and then another 2 day chalet in december would be the most desirable. hongyu then attempted to enlist the help of an rv friend in booking the place at a cheaper price, but that didn't work out. we had few options remaining, and it seemed we would have to book aloha loyang for $270 a night. but luck shone through at the last minute, hongyu found a place at aloha changi. decent. cheap. available. i booked it.

come for the chalet, it was the product of lots of hard work. i shall use it to decide whether the december venture is worthy of undertaking, cause after all the work that i've had to put in for the july one, poor turnout is just going to be very demoralising. much credit goes to hongyu for assisting me in organising. i blame the army.

withmuchlove,
bob.

alright, with all the chalet talk that i take pride in instigating, hongyu and i have decided to do some pre-chalet research to accurately determine the amount of interest that the rest have taken in the chalet project. perhaps if you don't already know, organising a chalet takes a fuck lot of time, effort, and money, and if possible turn up/success rate/interest is low, then the chalet project will be abandoned for ever and ever, unless your friendly arrow-shooting, villain-hunting, orc-slaying chairman legelas takes it up. below are a couple of questions in a poll, please answer them truthfully and take note that your answers will directly affect the direction which the chalet project will take in future.

a few points to note.
#1 a chalet of 2 nights, according to an estimate by the vastly experienced hongyu would cost in the 300$+ range so unless we get a good turnup rate, thats 20-30$ per person.
#2 the chalet is going to be on a weekend, else the males wouldn't be able to turn up.
#3 chalet is likely to happen between june and september (but for democracy's sake i put in options until december), else those schooling wouldn't be able to turn up.
#4 if it happens, hongyu and i will bring alcohol.

about voting.
#1 if you vote, vote on all 3 questions.
#2 you do vote, leave a note on the chat box to the right so that i know who has voted. and don't just leave a note expressing your interest there. vote on the polls, otherwise your opinions will not be taken into account.
#3 do not vote multiple times. that affects results. and i want accurate results. theres a link for the results below.
#4 due to the shitty polling interface, you'll have to hit the back button on your browser after voting on each question. for those who don't want to do that, there's a link to a page that allows you to answer all 3 questions. if you vote on that page, do not vote again on the questions on the blog.
#5 if you read this and you are not very sure if your friend reads the class blog, tell him/her about it, and be vulgar and insulting while you're at it.

having been away from civilisation for too long, i made numerous errors in my post, but have corrected them. please pardon my mistakes.

our ~~lackadaisical, lethargic, lazy leader legelas~~ friendly arrow-shooting, villain-hunting, orc-slaying chairman legelas, in his bid to ~~attain personal glory and fame in the magical worlds of maple story and WoW~~ unite the fragmented human lands under a common banner, marshal in a new age of peace and harmony, and rid the world of faggots, mice, and all things vice, has neglected to consider the delicate, fragile feelings of his fellow classmates who seek simple things which requrie only a mere inkling of time and effort that his ~~profitless and unrewarding~~ valiant, noble deeds demand of him.

is it too much to ask for that our ~~lackadaisical, lethargic, lazy leader legelas~~ friendly arrow-shooting villian-hunting orc-slaying chairman legelas provide us some solace, some reprieve when fate throws a curve ball at us, and sends us spiralling into a period of uncertainty and sorrow, that which could be ended with a satisfactory night out with the class for some fine dining, movie appreciating, and alcohol binging? or perhaps my inability to accurately determine the sheer magnitude of chairman legelas' contributions to ~~THE HORDE~~ society and mankind, and the sizable volume of blood, sweat and tears that is a necessity ~~to endure all the mindless grinding~~ for such chivalry and courage, that has led to my myopic, insensitive hurling of groundless accusations. if so, i am truly sorry for my misdemeanour and misdeeds, and i wish you well for the future. to borrow the words of mary jane from spiderman, "go get them tiger".

On the analysis of the quality of class outings

The quality of class outings can be evaluated using both tangible and intangible factors. Examples of the former include attendance, average length of time that each person participates, among others; the latter refers to such factors as satisfaction obtained by each person, the efficiency of the usage of time during the outing, and many more. In order to simplify the situation under consideration, we shall not include intangible factors into the discussion, instead limiting our scope to the tangible ones.

Any well-designed experiment should take into consideration the proper control of all variables that might affect the experimental results, and for a meaningful discussion of the effect of a particular variable on the results, all other variables should be kept constant. For the current debate, the variable of interest is the organiser of the class outing. Hence, any comparison of the quality of the class outings organised by either person in question should ensure that all other factors do not affect the results, which in this case is based on the relative popularity of the two hypothetical class outings. This, again, is based on the attendance for each of the two class outings.

Since all factors must be kept constant, the two class outings must be held at the same venue, at the same time and on the same day. Additionally, all proposed activities must be the same, and the target audience must be served notice of the upcoming class outings at the same time. However, the result is that it is not possible to distinguish between the people who turn up for either class outings, since they must necessarily turn up at the same place and at the same time. Because we base the results of the experiment purely on the attendance for each outing, therefore no meaningful conclusion can be reached, and this debate that has no logical basis for discussion should cease to continue.

2007-04-26T22:43:00.000+08:00

our dear friend bob has failed to see that choosing a chairman is not equivalent to suppressing the initiatives from other classmates. anyone who has free time and is willing to make the effort can organize outings, just like what our dear friend bob has often done. however, in regard to our dear friend bob's previous post, i urge him to look at ways of improving the quality of the outings rather than complaining about the past and making groundless accusations.

Ge

2007-04-23T01:12:00.000+08:00

at the end of year 2004 you voted this person to be your chairman #2. and now you have infrequent, disappointing class outings of 0.75% turnout rate, no class chalet for year 2006, and no free alcohol. i hope you all deeply regret your decision.

reverse your follies, swear your allegiance to the saturday-night-gang. next outing 12th may.

Just completed a 24km route march yesterday, my first since getting posted back to Tekong. tired...=S

My first batch of recruits will be graduating on Tuesday. I must say I have learnt quite a bit about dealing with recruits, especially after having taken over a rather problematic platoon as my first batch. IPPT pass rate is a paltry 36%. As this was my first batch, and also partly because I only took over the platoon halfway through, I wasn't able to manage the platoon as effectively as I could have, resulting in a general lack of discipline and poor performances as compared with the other 3 platoons. But with one batch under my belt, it is now my mission to ensure that my next batch achieves a higher level of discipline and performance.

My OC says there will be a reshuffling of specialists among the 4 platoons. I hope my next team of sergeants will be as good, if not better, than my current team...

I know, I know I've let you down,
I've been a fool to myself.
I thought that I could live for no one else,
But now, through all the hurt and pain,
It's time for me to respect.
The ones you love mean more than anything.

So with sadness in my heart,
I feel the best thing I could do,
Is end it all, and leave forever.
What's done is done, it feels so bad,
What once was happy now is sad.
I'll never love again.
My world is ending.

I wish that I could turn back time,
'Cause now the guilt is all mine.
Can't live without the trust from those you love.
I know we can't forget the past,
You can't forget love and pride.
Because of that, it's killing me inside.

It all returns to nothing,
It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down.

It all returns to nothing,
I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down.

In my heart of hearts,
I know that I could never love again.
I've lost everything... Everything...
Everything that matters to me matters in this world.

It all returns to nothing,
It just keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down.

It all returns to nothing,
I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down.

Her name is Yoshimi
She's a black belt in karate
Working for the city
She has to discipline her body
Cause she knows that
It's demanding to defeat these
Evil machines
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi
They don't believe me
But you won't let those
Robots defeat me
Oh Yoshimi
They don't believe me
But you won't let those
Robots eat me

Those evil natured robots
They're programmed to
Destroy us
She's gotta be strong to fight them
So she's taking lots of vitamins
Cause she knows that
It'd be tragic if those evil robots win
I know
She can beat them

Oh Yoshimi
They don't believe me
But you won't let those
Robots defeat me
Oh Yoshimi
They don't believe me
But you won't let those
Robots eat me

不说出的温柔

你是否忘记了那时候的笑容
如果我已不在你心中
舍不得为什么你说过的以后
留下我能不能圆梦

那天空云很多看不见你的轮廓
只剩下太多来不及说

不说出的温柔让你离开我
我以为你都会懂
等着你我才发现难过

很难说有没有想念过你的手
可能是我不愿去触碰
不记得本来你有没有擦口红
反正是我已经错过

那天空云很多看不见你的轮廓
剩下太多来不及说

想哭的冲动开始在失去以后
才等着你的手拥抱我的寂寞
该说的时候早应该大声的说
那种认真的沉默弄巧成拙

不说出的温柔让你离开我
我以为你都会懂

想哭的冲动开始在失去以后
已经擦干了泪为何还有点痛
该说的时候早应该大声的说
爱已经留下缺口剩下沉默

不说出的温柔让你离开我
去拥抱你要的梦
别担心我我会好好过

也是深情

虽然我们相识无言中
彼此情谊不深心灵却相通
犹记得我们曾说过我们誓愿尽责
为学院学生发出光和热

黄城虽然已不复留存
我们却不在乎不渝是精神
只要我们的心联系从此不再隔分
难道我们就不能往前奔

*过去的就让它辗转过去
不要一味回顾
收拾起我们破碎的心情
不再停下脚步
让我们试着开拓新旅程
把华初灿烂的光芒
照亮路上无数次的黑暗

纵然迎面还有大风浪
我们不再畏惧风雨的阻挡
生命对你和我来说已不是一场梦
生活的迈进一刻不放松

*过去的就让它辗转过去
不要一味回顾
收拾起我们破碎的心情
不再停下脚步
让我们试着开拓新旅程
把华初灿烂的光芒
照亮路上无数次的黑暗

照亮路上无数次的黑暗

here at em3 pteltd we toil around the clock, seeking solutions for everyday issues with the jejune, and the routine. we see ourselves as boredombusters who relieve unfortunate individuals from the unbearable ennui of life, wielding our metaphorical egonguns to utmost results. however, our egonguns have increasingly been rendered inadequate by the immergence of stronger and tougher opponents, the direct repercussion of university entry.

therefore, for many long hours now, aww and i have been hard at work on a massive project that could potentially provide periods of lasting entertainment, if not for everyone, then at least for ourselves. lots of effort, sweat, blood and tears have been put into this. the cogs are turning and the gears have been set into motion. as you read this very post, hammers rise and fall, pounding the final product into shape.

sadly, its still in its nascent form, and thus unsatisfactory for viewing. perhaps, ang weiwen might decide otherwise and provide more details. until then, we at em3 pteltd shall only provide a sneak preview, while wishing you a good luck with your forthcoming exams. 366 days to ord.

It's Bonfire Night here tmr (Sunday)!

"Remember, remember the fifth of November,gunpowder, treason and plot.We see no reason why gunpowder treasonshould ever be forgot.

Bonfire Night is also known as Fireworks Night or Guy Fawkes Night. It's a British tradition dating back to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 which aimed to blow up the Houses of Parliament and King James I. "

It was freezing by the river! >< haha it's so fun watching your breath turn to water vapour in the air. :D

ok ok, i've forgotten what i posted before. cos stupid blogger didn't publish my last post. -__- haha take care everyone!

London's 8 hours behind Singapore, starting from today!

No more daylight saving. That meant one extra hour of sleep last night, cos we turned the clocks back an hour last night. In fact, the Windows clock turned back an hour automatically at 2am! :D It felt so goood, an extra hour. Haha but we'll turn the clocks forward in March again.

That means winter's coming! The leaves are turning yellow and falling now... The sun is setting earlier (and even earlier now that we're an hour back) and it's getting colldd!! >.< The winds are so chilly even with the sun out. Haha exciting. Temperatures might drop to 3degrees at night next week.
Though this is nothing compared to Michigan and Chicago...

Ohh and it's Halloween on tuesday!! BOO. lol.

today, we prematurely celebrate the birthday of a very great man, one who has touched our lives in many special ways. to some, he was a saint, a holyman, a messiah sent to deliver us all from the pain and agony of endless lectures and ongjekyaw physics tutorials. to others, a source of instruction and enlightenment, providing all of us mere mortals an insight into the thoughts of a intellectually blessed individual. one would hardly forget the time when he effortlessly answered, "you asked me to repeat what you just said" when asked to repeat what had just been said. perhaps, to most, he was simply a friend who was suffering the same physical and mental torment that students endured, a fellow comrade with the same shitty grades despite burning all the midnight oil before the exams -- except that he was able to laugh it off with a smile and try harder next time.

it is extremely unfortunate that this person is not around with us for he has, tragicly, been blinded by love, and consumed by the evil of army. however, on behalf on everyone, i would like to let him know how great a contribution he has made to my, if not everyone's lives, that his sacrifices have not gone unappreciated, and that it has been my pleasure and honour to be regarded as his friend. it is rare that such a a beautiful being passes through our lives to bless and beautify all around him. zijian, you've been a wonderful acquaintance, i'll treasure those moments.

we must celebrate, despite his absence.

And I had a practical lesson yesterday. Ah I want my lab coat! The suppliers are soo slow.

I haven't really decided which CCA to join yet! Haha am already starting to help in in next Feb's UK hwa chong nite. 10th anniversary! lol. anyone want to fly over to attend?

rite lets give shenonn a rundown of our version of maf.. met at lido for er.. meeting purposes.ww, lj, yj, bc and i proceeded to chinatown cos yj told zj we were gng chinatown. and realized chinatown is a useless place to search for crackers. only good for dragon shirts. fucked off frm chinatown for bugis which provided the shop to our 3 dollar confetti. met zj at mrt and yj gave him a hug. travelled to adams to eat dinner. yuhuan insisted on eating nasilemak eventhough the queue was 5km long. luckily reached sch in time for the grand lite up which was normal except for the spectacular confetti cracker thing. FUCKING COOL. then waited hell long for the song and dance. inbetween played with the sparklers and took pics here and there.. theres this cool round the camera pic in weiwens cam.. so fucking post the pic man.. okay and the dance was gay shit. ditched jiayi for yj and had a whale of a time twirling arnd and getting our genders all mixed up.. okay and stoned arnd and took more pics and decided to go town for some kbox. reached town and the 3 girls and bj kboxed. ww yj and hy watched the ricky bobby show.. came out and called them, thinking they wld end at 215am. ww ate fishball noodles, yj drank red bull and me long island tea. toked shit bout girls and guys and how they screwed eachothers lives up in jc. finally at 330 they emerged frm the lift. took cabs home and i konked out at 430. ccb. but that was a damn fun nite. ccb.

hellooo!
I'm getting quite used to london now, liking it here! :) lol i changed my mind quite fast huh. Remember hating it the first few days. :P

Wonder how i'm surviving the food, dust, smoke, weather and water! haha but i'm still alive, so, i guess my tolerance has improved...

Lectures started proper this week, though some are still intro. I had pharmacology lect today, and we covered nervous systems in an hour. Good thing we learnt those in As before, so i wasn't that lost. But I've kinda forgotten half of it. :P My first semester would be mostly revision stuff, cos the students are of diff qualifications. Some are doing their second degree, so they must really ahead of most of us freshies in certain topics!

Anyway, pharmacy is so much more defined in UK. Esp the community pharmacists, it's not just NTUC or Watsons or Guardian aunties. (btw, 65% of graduates go to community pharmacy.) They deal with so much more patient contact and actual consultations. And I'll get to see how things work in an actual pharmacy during my lessons (the subject's called pharmacy practice)! haha cool huh. I'm quite sure I made a right choice. :) Ah. It's so tempting to stay here and work! :\ haha i already know i'll really miss london when i have to leave in 5 years time. too early to be thinking of this eh. :P

My timetable... it's different every week. For the first 2 weeks, it's quite slack, after that, it's 9am lectures and long long days. But early lectures don't bother me that much. Cos i stay just 3 min away from my sch. lol. It's really convenient. Can go back during long breaks! Saves a lot of transport money too.

As for pple, i've been mixing around with mostly sporeans, hk, asians... There's little interaction with the others still, except meeting the person sitting next to you during lect. haha maybe it'll be better when tutorials and seminars begin. Those in my hall, i don't really hang out with them so much either... though i know i can just find them down in the bar if i want to. :P ophs. haha but they are all nice pple lah.

okayy, gtg! take care in spore. heard about the bad haze. and those who are going, have lots of fun at maf!! relive the hwa chongian days.
