Wedding

2E4'07 @ Mrs Cheong's wedding

3....2.... Mei you 1.... Hahaha

Nope! Of course I didn't get married or something like that. I just went to Ms Lai (Or Mrs Cheong) wedding today with my fellow 2E4'07 people! Haha, feel so happy for the two of them. My once a form teacher is married now! May the two of them be blessed and have a great life ahead of them!

So anyway met up with the other 2E4 people at Commonwealth, we made a card for her and bought her some things as well. Cute little figurine of a wedding couple! After that we went to the church for the holy matrimony. It was my first time going to such ceremonies. Like watching them say I do and everything. It's really a great experience! :D

After that was photo taking session, we took quite a lot of photos. And I was joking around with the class by saying (san, er... Mei you yi!) Or 3, 2... But no one haha! Cause Ms Lai had this habbit of "chasing" us around by countingdown. But most of the time she forgot to say one or didn't say one at all. Sigh, those were the great days we once had uh.

Sometimes it's funny. Last time, 4 years ago we were those bunch of little kids running around the classroom. Being scolded by Ms Lai, joking around with her, laughing at the command of English sometimes. Those were those awesome days we all once had. And now? We're young adults who attend her wedding. Time really flies huh!

After that the rest of the 2E4 guys went to have lunch but Neal, LTY and I headed home. LTY had to go for a play while Neal and I had to study. I still have Microbio on Monday! Wish I could hang out with them though, cause it's been a long time. But nevertheless, it's seriously a great time meeting them! I'm glad all of us met up again (wait not all though but most heh).

Spent the afternoon doing one paper of microbio. Dang, a lot of things I've forgotten! Time to mug tonight. Not sure if my strategy works but I did this for IO chem haha. So I did papers, check the answers, then jot down the things I got wrong and revise them again. But oh well microbio is mostly about memorising. So yup, gotta constantly read and memorise!

Anyway, that's for today. 2 papers were killed! Haha. Two more to go! Yay, finally exams are coming to an end, once and for all, saying goodbye to my year one. Hopefully I can say goodbye nicely though (aka good results :D). And believe it or not, I'm going to HK in 7 days time! Shweeet! Hehe. Anyway Math paper wasn't that... Easy. Nor tough. Carelessness cost me again. Well well well. Again, I'm hoping for the best! Hmm! :)

You know today, I brought my camera to Mrs Cheong's wedding. And well... I somehow felt that this experience is a larger eye opener for me. It brought me to another new field of photography. Even though it was my first time doing such shoot (wedding), I think it's a really nice experience, one I can always bring as another new experience.

It brings me to another dimension, another realisation that photography, will and always be a passion of mine till the end of time. I don't know what's so mystifying and exciting about photography. I'm just hooked by it! :)

Alright that's all for today! Microbio come to papa hehe. Lets make love for the next 3.5 days haha. Sounds wrong. But you get me yes. Okay okay see ya!

Listening to chillout songs now haha

What we think, we become!

Hmph, one paper down, and I didn't kill him properly :O Didn't feel that victorious win after the battle! But well... I guess I'll just look on the bright side, keep thinking positively. Nothing can be done anyway, it's done, and most importantly, it's over! :)

And so next battle will be on Thursday with the formidable but beat-able Maths B! I've been doing papers, today I did 2, doing one more later and yesterday did one with Nicholas. Sigh, I hate it when I can't solve some questions which are... I don't know, I guess solvable haha. And I hate the fact that I did lots of mistake! Careless ones :O

Lets hope I'm not gonna be careless on Thursday!

Anyway wanted to come to school today with Niv and Reb, but we didn't go in the end haha. What's the most epic part is that Rebekah didn't wake up till 12! (We're supposed to meet at 11.30, as per planned) but I called her at 12 and she just woke up. It's pretty funny! So yep decided to stay at home to study instead :)

Well I'm quite "proud" of myself, cause I was able to discipline myself to do the two papers just now. Well I stopped after one paper to take a break, then continue again. It's pretty alright I guess, just the constant nuisance of that damn-I-didn't-get-it-right feeling. But must persevere on! Gonna do more papers for more practice.

Alright I guess that's all for now, gonna cook dinner, time to fry the chickens! Haha, okay I wanna do Math well! All the best everyone :D

Not sure why I'm feeling that.

Righty, it's... My first day of exams tomorrow! Final exam of year one hoho. I feel so damn excited I tell you haha. Whew, I think I'm crazy haha. But hmm more of excited to get this exam done once and for all, and of course, enjoy the outcome! Aka good results of course. Yep, so here wishing everyone in the polytechnics, but especially my dearest DBS 1.5 all the best for your exams! Let us all end our year one beautifully :)

Today was a special day I guess. Believe it or not I woke up at 9 AM today! Not to study, not to revise or anything, but to go to a temple haha. Well my sis likes to go to this temple in Eunos every Sunday and she was asking me if I wanna go, since my exams are like this and next week. Of course I wanna pray for great results yeah :D

Well as I once mentioned, I may not be a strong Buddhist. I don't go to temple on a regular basis, or even occasional basis. But I still am a firm believer of Buddhist teachings. And I am, and will always be a Buddhist. Cause I really find the teachings wonderful and true. So yep! Anyway yeah I pray that I'll be given the guidance for these two weeks so that I can study well and get good grades! (And GPA of course).

Another thing which is unique of today is the chanting of Buddhist chants! It's called Parita. It's been 8 years since I actually read them. Those were the Sunday school days haha, back when I'm still in Indonesia. And after about 8 years I finally then read them again. Miraculously, I still remember them! Even though the way they read them here is different. But same teaching! :)

Lunched after that and did our usual grocery shopping. When I reached home... Facebook a while haha. Wait, "a while" haha. Not sure why I wasn't in the mood of studying when I reached home. But anyway after that did my Math. I think it's good to start on my Maths, I don't want to do a PILE of maths practice paper on Tuesday till Thurs. So yeah.

Cooked dinner after that and yeah that's all for today I guess.

Alright anyway sorry for the pretty abrupt ending but... I gotta go! Haha. My dearest IO Chem is waiting for me to make love with.... Sounds wrong. But you got it. Haha, alright lets hope I'll do well for my final exam in year one! Lets hope I'll get awesome grades aye :D And all the best to you all too! :)

Vroom vroom, full steam ahead!

Boomz

Siesta

Taken in my hometown! (That man was actually sleeping :P)

Boomz? Boomz! Yeah it's really boomz-ing haha. Oh gosh what am I talking about. My head! Haha. It's 3 more days to the first day of my exam, how can I now feel so boomzed! Haha. Well yeah been studying for the past few days, duh, it's exams after all. My final one in year one as well! Can't believe the year one odyssey of mine is coming to an end huh :O

Anyway yep been staying back in school to study with Zaki, Bobby, Hari, Lizzie, Nic, Syazwani and today, Nivedha hehe. I guess it's a good way, why? Cause if I were to go home, I won't study at all! Trust me, I know me so well haha. So yeah been staying back till about 5-7, today was latest which was 7.30 haha. But good though, I found this studying session productive :)

Monday is IO Chem and Thursday is Maths. My plan is to actually finish all my IO Chem paper by Sunday night, then go mug all the info on the night and on Monday morning! Same thing goes for Math, spam papers till Wed night and memorise all the formula on the night and Thurs morning. Not sure if it's a good plan or not though :O

Pretty worries for my math! Gosh, I did one paper today and I was shocked cause I didn't know how to do half of the paper! Been referring to my notes all the time. This is bad... I hope the ample practice I get can go and help me both practise and remember the formula and questions. Maths is all about one thing - practice!

And seriously....

I can't wait for my exams to end! Cause...

I'm going to HONG KONG! :D :D :D :D

Finally! A destination out of SEA (apart from my Sweden trip) but yeah, finally right! Been wanting to go, just go somewhere out of Asia. But since it's quite tough so out of SEA is good enough for me! So yeah, I know this trip will be a great reward for me after exams. After all the hardwork I did and all the pain I've endured, I'm having a break :D

Alright that's all for today I guess. Pretty sleepy right now. I now it's written as 11 something here but I'm writing this at 1:53 AM now haha. Did some IO Chem just now that I forgot to blog -.-" But alright see ya then!

Endure, endure, endure

Happy V-day! :D

Another edit :D
Photography by Yours Truly
I promise I'll go to Paris one day

Hello! Wishing everyone a happy Valentine's day! This applies to all singles, doubles or even megas mwahaha. Just kidding. But yeah happy Valentine's day, or friendship day to those singles I guess. But you see you don't need valentine's day just to share love to couples. Just share the love to everyone around you every day! It's better to just share it once a year heh.

Anyway umm today was awesome I guess. It was microbio IE presentation! Met Candy at spectrum first as KX was late. KX sent us the file first and I went to print + laminate it. Seriously, I love the poster! It's so stylish and modern-like at the same time. Good job KX :D The presentation was alright I guess. I think I spoke a bit too fast though.

And sigh, something sort of spoilt this V-day. You know it sucks when you do things sincerely without any motives, and people thought you're trying to like do something behind your action? Well I know they may be joking but seriously! I'm giving the chocolates to all the lecturers + friends today! For it's V-day after all, not giving it for br*****! Oh man :/

Well I might be thinking too much, but seriously, those chocolates are a sign of thank you to all of you. Afterall today was officially our last practical session (even though no practicals) of year one, but... Sigh never mind I guess. I just seriously hope they don't think that way at all. Cause I'm giving it with all my sincerity and honesty.

Anyway today was my French test as well! Final one! I guess I pulled it off quite well. Except for the oral part where I actually told my French teacher that Singapore is cold -.-" Cause he asked me in French whether Singapore is cold or hot. I got mixed up and I told him cold! Hahaha oh well, but I guess overall it's fine. I hope I'll get a good certificate, not COP haha :P

I'm having mixed feelings about the end of my French lesson. Firstly without a doubt, I won't be continuing French in SP. I guess I just don't have the time anymore. It's too busy. I'm sure year 2 will be even tougher so yeah. But one thing for sure - Learning French is one step closer for me to realising my dream of travelling to France one day!

Je me promets que je vais aller à Paris un jour!

Realising my dream may not be an easy task. But ultimately, I'm still wishing that this ultimate dream of mine will come true. I may be a foolish dreamer to actually think, imagine, fantasise my trip to France. But dreaming itself may just be a step nearer to realising your actual dream. Without dream, there won't be reality. Dare to dream. My favourie TSS values (I'm serious!)

Alright I guess that's all for today. One more week to exam! Meow. Anyway yeah. I'm hoping that my dream will come true! Haha, it's a goal, like one of my ultimate goal of my lifetime. And yes I know it's going to come true. I know it deep in my heart.

In fact, I dreamt of visiting Paris last night.

Sleepy

Reflections of lights.

Out of focus?

Hmm I hate myself! Haha. Keyword: Procrastinate :O

Today was a normal Sunday. Gosh I don't know why I've been sleeping late during the weekends. Like on Friday I slept at 2.30 (I was studying + FB + editing photos!) then on Saturday I slept at three (Did same things as Friday). So yeah... And the worst thing is I woke up late too! At least on Satuday I woke up at 12 and today, 12.45 -.-"

Was late meeting my sis for lunch cause I woke up late, even though I woke up at 11.30. Anyway today was an ordinary Sunday. Met my sis for lunch and then did our usual grocery shopping. After that... We wanted to swim but I actually fell asleep. So she ended up swimming with her bf. And I was telling myself to wake up and did IO Chem practice but... I fell asleep from 5 -8!

Oh well oh well, not sure why but I was feeling REALLY sleepy in the afternoon. I guess I was having glucose drop plus afternoon yeah. But still I hate myself. Could have woke up at like 4 and did my IOC then went swimming.

So I decided to pay the "debts" of not exercising today by not eating rice tonight and just had one big bowl of salad. Cause hmm the past three days I've been having constipation and so... Expecting colon cleansing tomorrow! Hopefully not so bad haha.

In Saturday went out with my sis. I did some shopping haha. Not sure why either. But I got myself a new pair of shoes! My current converse one has like 4 freaking holes. So I decided to get myself a... VANS haha. Plus it's OLIVE! I seriously don't know what have I done. Been wearing black or white shoes my entire life. Now, olive! Oh well we'll see I guess.

Alright I guess that's all for today. Gonna bathe and study! It's 8 more freaking days to exams! Haiyyaaaaaaa :D

So sad, last official week of my year one with DBS 1.5 :/

Beautiful

Weird tittle? Hmm guess not haha. Let me show you some things, and why they are beautiful. Oh dear I think I got too stressed during this exam period now haha. But anyway I'm feeling better now, less stressed but still stressed. I have to endure! 10 more days! Meoow.

Anyway, today was an ordinary Friday. Usual one. Why? Cause I came late for Math! Again! Not sure why but it's me and Friday. Always. I'll wake up late for Math. Today I woke up at 7.30 while class starts at 8! Oh dear... Thankfully I'm like 15 mins plus late so it was not that bad like as if I'm an hour late or something like that :P

After school went to study. Did the microbio poster with Candy and Kai kai first, and yay we're done! Can't wait to see the poster which KX will make via photoshop on Monday! :) Then spent the rest of the afternoon studying with Zaki. Syazwan studied too but left halfway for SPSU. Stayed with Zaki till about 6.30. Felt really happy about today! :)

And you know it was really nice. While studying, it was raining quite heavily. I was worried that I couldn't go home yet as I didn't bring my umbrella. But well the rain stopped just before I was going back, and the sky was lovely! It was orange/golden in colour. The contour of the clouds were beautiful as well. I love it. Felt really nice.

After an accomplishment, you're greeted with an awesome sky. (Y)

Recently I found this website called Picnik. It's a photo editor but it's web-based. Seeing those posts in tumblr makes me feel like making one as well! So I've decided to make one and here it is:


Nice right! Haha. I'm going to download Gimp soon as well. It's sort of the free photoshop version, but of course not as good as PS. But I think it's good enough for me, I've read the reviews and they say it is one awesome editor so yup!

Okay it's Friday today but I ain't gonna slack. I have to study, and perhaps slack a little bit tomorrow. But I'm so going to sleep as much as I want tonight. Sweet. I've been sleeping late these days so yeah :O Alright see ya!

Beautiful evening :)
