2007...

Blogging my last post of the year. As the next will be year 2008. I wish everyone prosperity and happiness. May all our dreams come true and doing well in whatever we do. The most importantly is our health, stay healthy and smile always!

Conclusion of the year. At the start of the year I was happily celebrating the year 2007 with my friends. I remember my sad thing at that moment was my eyes still not yet recover as you can still see a bit of blood on my white eye ball. Haven't recover yet still got to return to school. It was a very new experience after that operation.

The studying term was getting harder as it was my year 2. Also hard and stress to hold my position. Next is the Chinese New Year. Well someone told me it won't be a good year and my year review of life isn't good I remember. Hah...I tried to put that a side as I no need to really believe in it.

During the year 2007 I can said I gain a lot and lose a lot. Gain a lot of experience and skills by the opportunity given from the school management. I learnt to accept opportunity more often. Winning from competition also a big highlight of the year. Thank everyone from helping me. Lose were the friendship, communication breaking down and to my old friends, sorry that I suddenly like gone missing. As I am really busy with my school work. In fact, it have been a busy life for my ITE study. I need to work with my school work in order to maintain and my time management fir the last term was really bad.

Lastly, to all the ITE term Dragon Boater. Thanks for all the encourage and going through training by training. I admit I did think of give up before, but you all make me stay till so far. The team spirit is important. I hope the team spirit will be stronger in this coming year 2008. To Mr Raymond, your passion in Dragon Boat really change me a lot. Also thanks for not giving up on us. Your commitment inspire a lot. Happy year 2008!

Orchard Christmas Tree

Bugis Christmas Tree

Sunday went to Bugis with my Mum and brothers. For me is looking for Christmas gift for my friends and for my Mum is looking for clothing for the coming wedding. Well there were many people and we travel from Bugis Junction, Bugis Street, OG and back to Bugis Junction again. On the way, I got my hand phone lanyard and screen protector but none of the Christmas gift.

Therefore the next day, which is the Christmas Eve, I went to Tampines Mall and got the gift then at 8pm took my Dad car to Ikea with my Mum after work. Shop for about 2 hours and after getting all the things needed, we went home. Actually main objective for going Ikea is to big box for keeping my books as my room and table were messy. So got scolded and need to clean up. Year end, finish ITE, it's time to pack all my books.

@ HK Cafe

Today Christmas! Went out with my friends exchanging gift. Also called Ming Yue along and she called a group of my last time McDonald friends which make me so surprise. Really long time no see, same thing happen. Quite cold without much topic to talk about. Guess is too long never meet up already. But through this opportunity I still get to know more about them after so long. Hmm....the above picture doesn't show them, cause they don't like to take photo.


Lust Caution
Thursday, December 20, 2007

From yesterday till today, I haven't been sleeping due to working at a factory introduced by my friend mother.

Once again, after 2 years of study in ITE I went to that 4 walls place with machine noise. A feel of working and working, completing with the machine. Machine can keep on going without break, unlike human. But machine can break down easily, that is what I am waiting for, so as to rest. Lolx. It really reminds me on last time working in the IP Softcom, day and day working from morning till night, went home slept and came back to the same place and work. It was very no life. I remember I only worked for 1 month. Reason because school reopen soon but indirectly, was I need a break, I gave up.

Lust Caution

In the afternoon, staying at home, kind of researching the full video of the big winner film, Lust Caution. Won a lot of awards. So I went to YouTube and saw a clip of South Park in cinema. Haha...watch and they said the video was cut away for about 15 minutes. Then I remember my Hong Kong friends said we Singapore confirm cut until nothing left, so want to see real video, tell them to buy it from Hong Kong. At first I quite question mark, but now I very clear of what it mean.

The South Park also introduce a website, saying to see more, log on to it. Therefore I did and the clip I can find was only introducing the different rated video done by Hong Kong film maker. Alright, that was a long history thing.

The most importantly is I went to a Chinese website that is known by many people and try to search for it. Yes I fond it, and make a try is it really got different from the previous version that I watch. Ah huh, there are a big different of full version. They SHOW ALL. Wa....really rated ar. Wonder of Art.

When I tell my friend, the reply was it is R21 movie ma. OMG, but I really don't know la. I just head forward as they won a lot of award from the Golden Horse, so I kind of checking it out. Really don't know is R21, really... ... ...


Sony Ericsson K850i

Sony Ericsson K850i

Finally got my hand-set with a new contract. Starting my new line in StarHub, cancel my previous M1 line. It since like the StarHub company is really growing big. Till 10pm+ still got customers waiting, unlike M1 and Singtel.

At first, I decided to get a Nokia hand-set, but from my brother words, buy the phone with good function not the nice outlook. Therefore once again I chosen Sony Ericsson K850i with the outstanding 5 Mega Pixel camera which suit what I really need compare to a Walkman phone as I got my iPod to replace.

Sony Ericsson K850i


This phone reminds me on my previous hand-set K750i (The phone I lose). It look similar, just that the joystick button change to a touch screen menu for 3 key. Confess? Check out with K850i, on the touch screen for 3 navigation, auto sensor for perspective view, powerful camera etc. Lastly, I enjoy using it!


Master Series 2007 (Final Round)
Sunday, December 16, 2007

This morning, when to Bedok Reservoir for the final round of Master Series 2007. Sad to say that the number of rowers are decreasing. Therefore they call the previous rower back which is my very very senior. Apologies that I am working on my project, so could not be able to come back for training, but can only come for this final race of the year.

Afternoon accompany my Mum to Tampines Mall for her shopping of clothing as she is going to attend a wedding night. Upon of that, it is also to come down to StarHub for a change of line/service provider. But due to the outstanding of customer from StarHub, I decided to sign up for new plan on the next day. Well, there are many shop that having discount.

Star Award 2007

At night, watch the Star Award that I have recorded. Well funny but the ladies since to have a very hard chance to get up on stage. Fighting hard but one thing is truth that they look beautiful as outer but in inside, they have their hard time and low income. Respect them that entertain us and give us the joy.


RP Visit & Alvin + Chipmunks Entertainment


RP Open House

First stop, went to Republic Polytechnic Open House. Wow, the school is really new and I can't find any gate, just very open to public. Well look like I am more related to the 'School of Technology for the Arts', with the course of:
  • Diploma in New Media
  • Diploma in Sonic Arts
  • Diploma in Technology and Arts Management
  • Diploma in Design for Interactivity
  • Diploma in Game Design *new
Other than that is the 'School of Information & Communications Technology' under the course of Diploma in Interactive and Digital Media, which is more on Multimedia Technology that I am studying right now in ITE. But all have to wait till I visit all Polytechnic.

Alvin & The Chipmunks
Chipmunks in Action

After that in the afternoon, went to Marina Square and walk around. Decided to watch the 'Alvin & The Chipmunks', but their timing doesn't fit mine so when to Bugis and watch. Well it was funny and lovely. The Chipmunks are so cute. Wonder how they animate it till so flexible. Well the story line is simple and short. It is a good entertainment for people who love music or in bad mood ba.

Lastly, before I went home, I finally got the game 'The Sims 2 Seasons' that I have been waiting for, but don't know do I have the time to play with it.


Get Some Colour...
Saturday, December 08, 2007

Finally today get myself free for highlighting my hair. Well it took about an hour for the whole process, Cost $40. Highlighted golden and don't know what style. Something like going more to left while right side is black. Funny huh, but it was a happy thing that I no longer need to worry to dye back black as I am graduated from ITE. If I successfully go to Poly, I will try more colour.


My Last Words...

Just Feel Like Blogging This!
Lastly, no matter what, if you don't straight forward face to face communicate to the person. Just listening to one side of peoples feeling, don't blame the person that don't know anything. It's you that don't want to come forward with pride to talk to the person and don't have the passion to make thing done. Therefore do reflect on yourself are you in the right path or else no one can save you when you come to industry standard.

Fact is still fact that you need to face, running away from it, you are just cheating yourself. A few tears doesn't mean you can cover all the wrong things done or won the match. Talking around others back is the worst thing ever for any human being, it is just leaving in your own world. Change that ugly attitude, if not in future, noting can be done.

Team spirit is rather important, but giving in comes along with the hard work you paid. If you think you didn't work hard as what others are, coming in only at the last few days, being a so call free rider all awhile, please don't blame that your grade turn out to be bad. Job is also coming to you by your mouth, no one will please you here and there to complete the task. You are in a group, remember, be more automatic will save a lot of time. Thank You


Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon held today was a very early event to me. As I woke up and can't even reach the planning transport time that I set earlier. Luckily my dad give me a ride. Well but I still late.

Reaching there at 6.10am and it was so messy. Finding my friends as well as finding the place where I can deposit my bag. The 21km already started, but I still haven't prepare. Therefore I start running ar 6.45am. 30 minutes, just to find the location for my bag deposit.

Well start running feeling so good as it was a morning environment with Singapore famous buildings. But hor, cannot last la. Until about 10km of running, I finally slow down and walk. lolx. Soon follow on, I run and stop continuously. Specially at station for drinks, I stop. Completing the whole half marathon at 1h 30min. Reach the finish point and exchange my Champion chip to a Medal. Then those that ran 42km got an extra Adidas shirt wo.

Haiz...but I think if next time going to participial, I think I better train as this time I didn't run for about 1 month due to my school work. Don't know what will happen to me when I wake up the next morning. Confirm very pain here and there de.
