happy birthday elaine!!

october is another month of birth-days... one of them is ELAINE!!! hahhah

attended elaine's party (it was very early party cos her actual bdae is 12 nov) at aranda on sat.. vincent came to fetch me and we were the first from hall to arrive!! super early.. we had nothing to do and we started playing with the 'real' bread tt jf bought from action city.. the bread is like the attention of the party, other than elaine.. everyone was playing and having fun with it the whole night.. hahhahah.. i think by the end of the day, it became kinda dirty and nua.. hahha

the 2nd lead for the night


us playing with it


bdae gal


us (jf uses the auto timer for his camera and somehow it caught ppl unaware and cuts gh and hp in the first off i think)



gals =)


those birthday dates tt run one after other (10 to 15)!!! (the auto timer thingy is really bad.. me n andrew wasnt even ready yet)


so i decided to stay back for the night after much consideration and we went for bowling.. finally it was our turn after a long night of waiting.. my score for the first game is super bad.. my aim was 50 but i only got 48 =( even the score board was sad (under my name..) hahha.. yes tt 4 dashes meant the ball went into the drain.. and it kinda looks like a sad face.. hahha


but i improved in the 2nd game!! i scored 70 points and i got a strike!! hahhah


but comparing the gals' score to the guys' score, we looked kinda terrible.. hahhah.. vincent scored turkey!! (3 strikes in a row for the final round..)


trying to capture 淑女pose by elaine but failed.. the closest to it.. hahah


me and roomie!!


bowling with a big group can be fun and tiring at the same time.. tiring cos there's 9 ppl playing at the same lane and we were kinda tired while waiting for our turn and also cos it's like 3+am in the morning..

we headed for macs breakfast before gg home.. the milk tt vincent ordered.. i think the cow looks very cute.. hhaha


thanks vincent for driving me n roomie back at 6+ and for trying to concentrate when your eyes are closing.. hahhah..

AND.. happt birthday elaine!!! hope you enjoyed yourself like we do and may all your wishes come true!! =)

i slept for 1hr and had to wake up to go studying with my sis cos i promised a week ago.. and im so proud of myself!!! i managed to study through and kept awake for so many hours.. all the way from 10am to 5pm.. yeah!! think power sleep really works.. hahah.. rewarded myself with an ice-kachang =)


but after effect was scary.. i slept from 12am and woke up at 12pm today.. hhaha.. wed is 306 quiz again!!! felt more confident cos the entries were like kinda repetitive.. hope tt i am able to do most of the entries with correct figures.. as what the lecturer always say:
correct entry correct figure - 1 mark
correct entry wrong figure - 0 mark
wrong entry wrong figure, you are wasting my time.. too bad i cannot give you negative..

kinda scary huh.. hahha

btw, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUAN ZHEN!! it's my beloved sis's bdae today!!

happy birthday vincent

yest was our long awaited teppenyaki dinner =) it was postponed the last time due to the time clash with hall supper..

andrew came earlier before dinner and we took pics in our room!! miss those days where he'll just pop into our room for a lil chat.. hhaha.. but roomie was busy studying for her quiz and was not bothering much abt us.. hehe

andrew, teh peng and me


andrew and roomie's back.. hahha


then i went to help out in the preparation for dinner!! i am the chef in charge for the day.. hahha.. i cooked the rice, fried the egg and seaweed chicken!! of cos with help from my shifus: yb and andrew and assistant: elaine.. hahha.. they taught me how to fry the seaweed chicken.. so scared tt the oil will pop onto me..

our heart-shaped sunny side up =) so proud!!


finally it's time for dinner!!! we had our cooks: andrew, jf and vincent.. they were practically cooking everything for us.. it's quite a hilariuos scene when all the 3 of them were calling out and 'selling' their food.. sounds like a wet market.. hhhahah.. had a good laugh abt it =) but there were alot of mosquitoes!!! and andrew was the firt to kill a mosquito with his leg.. hahah

the food sellers...


and their customers


here came the highlight of the night!!! we surprised vincent with his bdae cake!!! the cake was veri nice.. bought from prima deli by andrew.. it was act rum cake.. i din really like rum and tot tt it act tasted like some glue.. hahha.. but the cake still tasted delicious esp the base!!

bdae boy


the cake cutting ceremony (yy say cannot cut all the way.. hahha)


all of us with our forks, ready to attack the cake...


me and roomie in specs!! (黑白配)(vincent's specs makes ppl look veri intellectual.. although im alr veri intellectual.. hahha)


then vincent fetched all of us (except poor roomie who has to stay in hall cos she has a quiz today) to the interchange to catch the train home cos it was raining quite heavily.. thanks vincent!!

whenever the rest came back for dinner, memories of the past keeps flowing back into my mind and i really miss those days!!! i think if me and yy were to shift out next sem, 47 level 4 would definitely be 100% different.. hais.. it's kinda emotional whenever i think of tt..

pictures from the class outing @ MIND CAFE!!!

the forfeits..




bs's fan of cards


alvin had too many cards from uno and he might as well just arrange them on the table.. hahha


the gals



us all =)

massive blk 47 blackout

at around 0050 in the wee hours, the surroundings suddenly turned black with my laptop still on in front of me, and i could hear screams and shouts in the whole blk.. yes!! there was a black out in the whole of blk 47.. almost everyone came out if their rooms to check it out..

it was actually quite farnie cos everyone kept calling out for the blk reps.. jf was even taking photos in the dark.. hahha.. yb lighted tealight candles for the guys opp.. kinda romantic but with the wrong ppl.. hahha..

then the lights came on within 10mins except level 4 (our level).. the blk reps claimed tt it was our fault cos we din pay blk funds.. hahha.. whateva.. but the lighs came on anyway..

wat a short and eventful 10mins..

total darkness


all lights came on except level 4


tea lights saving the night to a small extent.. hehe

silence kills.. hhaha

we changed the venue from bz's hse to minds cafe due to some hiccups.. although some ppl could not make it after the change of plan, the attendance was still not bad =) 5 gals and 3 guys came!! as usual it's always the gals overpowering the guys.. hahahha..

we had lots of fun playing games such as first hand, saboteur, uno etc.. gab had a new way of playing uno.. for cards 5, 7 and 9 that we thrown out, we had to do specific actions to them. if not, the penalty is adding cards to your deck..

5: we haf to like draw circles with our palms
7: everyone has to keep silent until it has gone one round from the latest person who threw the card
9: heart attack

we almost went crazy when ppl keep throwing the 7 cards.. it's a veri good training for the abs cos we had to like communicate via actions.. esp when the actions tt ppl did are super hilarious and tt the other party dun understand what u are trying to say.. and we all had to laugh out silently.. it's really quiet torturing.. hahhah.. but we enjoyed ourselves!!!

after tt we decided to go to the beancurd store just at selegie for a lil chat.. we had to leave by 12 to catch the last bus home.. although it was just some simple games and a short chit-chatting session, it felt like the old days in sr where this crazy bunch gather and there are bound to be farnie and stupid things tt we'll do.. just love the company =) so glad tt we all still make the effort to meet despite our busy schedules.. as usual, the planners deserve the most credits.. thanks bz n gab!! (although gab always kinda screwed up when he tries to plan.. and bz had to step in to help.. hahah.. we know your kind intention and hard work put in)

looking forward to the next gathering which i suppose it's gg to be near xmas?? it's gg to be another round of laughter and abs training.. hahhah

hope charis will be sending the pics soon, which i doubt given her character.. oops.. hahha

resume building

i planned to do up the application forms, resume and cover letters for Big 4 this weekend.. but whenever i see the things to be filled up and tt all of them are the same, im not interested to continue anymore.. but the application date ends on 31oct.. i'll haf to start no matter what..

seriously, i still dunno what i wan as my career.. one thing for sure is IM NOT GG TO STAY IN AUDIT!!! but for now, i shall just get into assurance and treat it as a stepping stone for my future.. maybe somewhere along the way i'll figure out what i really wan..

went for a getaway trip to bugis after our 306 quiz on wed with fio yy n jenny.. it fely like as if it was alr the end of exams as we make our way out with all our usual crazy and out of the world conversations.. we just keep popping random ideas about everything.. i think those on the bus n streets heard us laughing will think tt we're mad.. but who cares.. we really enjoyed ourselves and it's our way of de-stressing =)

quiz and exams make us turn a lil looney.. hahha... retail therapy is good.. all of us bought something to reward ourselves for surviving the quizzes.. jenny is the biggest winner.. she bought like so many clothes.. mainly is for her online shop tho.. hahha

we wanted to catch house bunny initially at JP, but due to the inefficiencies of the tutors, we missed the timing.. my house bunny hopped away =( so we went to catch burn after reading at bugis instead.. we tot tt the show would be good cos yy says there's brad bitt in it.. but it turn out to be a weird show.. hahha.. no climax and everything just revolves around one thing - the disc which was tot to contain highly confidencial information..

Life is rather like a tin of sardines - we're all looking for the key

acting 101

took the first fake MC for quiz in my 2.5yrs of uni.. feeling kinda guilty but im not confident for the quiz despite mugging for it over the weekends.. after much comtemplation and internal struggle, i decided to take MC for 304!!!

so i went to the sch medical clinic for 'consultation'.. i told the doc tt i had diarrhea.. after consultation, she made me think twice if there is really something wrong with my stomach.. she sounded as if i had some intestinal problems.. whatever.. thanks roomie for coming up with this excuse for me.. hahha.. my parents better not find out abt this.. =P

i shall focus all my energy on 306 quiz tml!!! to compensate for the 304 quiz n to relieve me off some of my guilt... hahha.. yy says i look stressed and i shld take a break.. yes i think i should.. will chiong after dinner..

cant wait for tml to end!! we shall have a mini celebration!!!.. tt we all survive the quiz.. hehe

happy 21st ziming!!

yest was zm's 21st birthday.. me n arif planned to have a simple surprise for him.. which was for me to appear out of nowhere to surprise him with my appearance while they were out on their 'date'.. hhahah.. we made like 4 changes to the plan along the preparation stage.. but was veri happy tt the plan succeeded and got to see zm 'shocked' reaction.. hehe

so the final plan for the both of them was to go blading at ecp after their service.. and so i had to make adjustments as to how to go abt surprising zm.. i took approx 30mins walk to reach macs after exiting from one of the underpasses.. i walked in the wrong direction initially n only realised 15mins later.. the surroundings looked so unfamiliar to me and i tot something was wrong.. so i decided to walk back instead.. and im so glad to see macs after a long long long walk!! at one point of time, i felt like giving up and asking arif to blade towards me instead, cos i really felt quite tired from all the walking.. but i still continued.. hahha

the view i saw while approaching them for the surprise.. looks kinda gay huh.. hahhaha


3 of us.. my hair was flying around due to the sea breeze..



arif became like a giant after putting on his blades!!! he was like more than 1 head taller than me.. (although he was alr veri tall w/o the blades.. hahha)


i had to like stand on the seat to be a lil taller than him..


arif's awkward skating position.. hahahha


a random shot while waiting for the both of them to wash up..


we headed for dinner at lai lai located at bugis.. the food was ok but the service there was not really up to standard.. there was only like one container of chilli going round to be shared among he customers on one whole level.. and the waitress had to like keep asking us if we still need it.. one of them said to us tt she wanted to replace the chilli cos it was running out but did not come back to us.. we had to request several times for it..

happy to see the food after a day of hunger.. (by request of arif, the photographer.. hahha) shall not post the other pic cos my head looked veri big cos the camera was just in front of me.. =P


lastly, was time for the cake.. i brought brownies.. hahha.. the salesgirl was a lil neglient i would say.. she placed the brownies on top on of another and caused the fudge to stick onto the paper of the brownie on top.. and this the whole layer of fudge was gone.. =(

the birthday boy


im quite satisfied with the planning cos the surprise worked and of cos im glad tt the birthday boy enjoyed himself too =)

once again..

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY ZIMING!!!

oh no!!!

tt's great.. i cant access the link on edventure to do 304's pre-seminat activity!!!
i think there is something wrong while loading the page and i clicked on the refresh button.. and there it says tt the assignment was completed when i had not even attempted it in the first place!!!

worse, it was a ONE-SINGLE attempt qns.. so i supposed i cant access it anymore since it says tt the assignment was completed..

OMG!!

i just emailed my prof and i hope tt she'll reply my mail soon..if not i'll just lose 10 points for some stupid error on the site =(

been studying for 304 the whole day, reading the textbook and the SSAs.. but i still feel quite empty despite the effort.. dunno what is gg to come out for the quiz on tues.. what kind of qus to expect?? and i am still thinking if i shld take MC for 306 quiz on wed.. im totally not prepared although it's a 20 MCQ qns quiz.. i thought i knew the concepts, but i think there's gg to be prob when it comes to application.. if i do badly, i supposed it'll affect my final grade..

how how how???

big decision

went for Big 4 Networking Night with yy and fionne at nanyang audi. we arrived at 6 to collect our magnetic nametag and went into the auditorium for the talk. As usual, the talk is like a lullaby with similar sppeches by most speakers.. but PWC had their presentation in the form of a game show: Who wants to be a PWC partner, which i tot was pretty engaging and farnie.. hahha

we were shocked by the number of employees each of the bug 4 firms brought for the networking night.. in total, i think the ratio is like 1 employee : 1 student.. the 3 of us were like trying to hide our way thru the crowd after the presentation.. but we failed.. we were stopped by a partner from EY to hand us a goodie bag and of cos prompt us for questions.. i would say tt he's very enthusiastic in getting one of his employee to entertain and ans any qns we haf.. so we stood there for abt 5-10mins socialising.. then we moved on to PWC and once again, we were stopped and this time it's sort of a competition between 2 seniors from PWC trying to 'fight' for the 3 of our attention.. ~_~'' hahah

after mingling around and trying our very best to avoid anymore of those overwhelming seniors, we finally reached our ultimate destination - the food table.. hahha.. we were like thinking of ways to not get any eye contact with any of the seniors around so as not to be targetted by them for Q&A.. so the 3 of us just began chatting non-stop until we saw someone leaving the audi.. and us wanting to get out, follwed suit.. hhahah

i would say tt this networking session is good but a lil too intimidating.. i felt like i was some prey, waiting to be attacked anytime.. maybe they should not ask so many helpers from each firm to come for the networking.. it's the first time tt i saw the nanyang audi filled to the max (except during exams).. hahha.. nonetheless, we still got to know more about the cultures and career opportunities in each firm.. i am considering between Deloitte and PWC.. i like the warm and people-oriented culture but not the management style in Deloitte; the programs offered but not the competitive culture in PWC.. so im kinda caught in a dilemma now.. but i'll still based my decision largely on where the rest choose.. it's good to have good frens entering into the same company as you =)

this is one BIG decision i haf to make now.. but first i haf to think of what is my long term goal and achievement.. but i still dunno and there isnt much time for me to ponder on!!!

HELP!!!

Saturday, October 4, 2008

i passed!!!

yeah!! i passed my final theory after my second attempt.. felt more prepared this time cos i read the book more thoroughly and understood the theory better.. and also had a better idea how the qns will be after the first try =)

i think i'll start my driving lessons after my exams.. but i cannot decide where to take the lessons from.. shall discuss with roomie first.. then we can go take lessons tog!!! (if can.. hahhah)

my result slip =)



how to lengthen my attention span?? =p

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY!!

it's children's day today!!! happy children's day to all!!! hahha.. although we are pass the age, but we can still rejoice over children's day cos we're still a child in our parents' eyes.. hehe.. no celebration tho but it's still a holiday today =) it seems like the week after recess break is like an extension of the recess week cos there's a public holiday following tt... maybe they shld just let us haf 2 weeks of break instead.. hhahha..

but i shall spend this precious holiday mugging for my AA306.. have to get the steps for CRM and TM engraved in my brain for the quiz 1.5 weeks later.. it's the long awaited closed book quiz (after AA201 in year 2 sem 1).. i think open book quizzes and exams make me very dependent on the books for references.. pros and cons of open book exams.. hahha

went to catch Eagle Eye with zm yesterday.. it was a nice and exciting movie although i could not get the storyline till the last quarter of the show.. hahhah... the gist of the show is about humans defying the orders of machines (in this case, it is the Eagle Eye), thus leading to machines taking their own actions to eliminate those who defied it's orders.. come to think of it, it can be quite a scary thing if machines were to have a mind of their own.. i think it'll pose a potential threat to human life due to our overdependence on them in our daily lives, especially when most things are being replaced by machines and technology.. *cold shivers* hahhah..

we came to realise that it was pouring very heavily after the show, and we were stuck in cine for quite sometime.. there's really nothing much to do at cine so we decided to get out.. we wanted to get an umbrella from mini toons but they were too ugly n expensive.. hhahah.. so in the end, we walked to somerset mrt in the rain.. it's good tt we walked in the rain cos it seems like it lasted till quite late.. if not we'll be stuck in boring cine for the whole night.. hahhah

time to go and accompany my beloved 306 for the rest of the day.. hahhah.. :P
