check this MV out...

good food day

today has been a day filled with great food for me.

firstly, during lunch, Amazons ordered 8 medium-sized pizzas from pizza de france, and each of us had to eat a minimum of 4 slices. nearly puked after that, and it felt kinda uncomfortable during tutorial class after that. weird, i rmb i was so super duper hungry before the pizza came, but i became so full so quickly... hmm and some paparazzi apparently successfully took a pic of the big star waiting for his pizza...
grr... gonna sue that person... muz be Giraffe Ong.

secondly, after swimming, Anthony treated Weibin and I to fish & co. for dinner. hmm yeah for a certain reason haha. thanks for the meal anthony! actually after dinner i felt like puking too, cos once again, it was too filling haha.

hmm, after the bs201 debate today on the use of bovine growth hormones in dairy cows, i feel so relieved suddenly. it's like a load taken off your mind. seems like prof valerie is very satisfied with both the proposition and the opposition teams... did powerpoint sia. unlike tutorial grp 3 haha, heard that prof valerie was quite disappointed with the group cos nobody did the presentation at all. hmm tat's wad i think lah, cos of wad kimberly sms-ed me:

Kimberly: mk! all your fault la! do e presentation.. then that valerie lin expected us to have a presentation too.. and was so disappointed when we didn't have..

hmm so yeah haha great job T1!! hope the 4 of us who presented get some (or many) participation points lah... pls pls pls.....

oh oh! and guess wad i saw at jurong point juz now! a bus stop!! in jurong point!! here's a picture of it...

hmm, yeah too bad, there's no 199 there so i cannot wait at this busstop for my bus :(

but still nvm, there's always other bus stops around that has 199 hence i'm back in hall now :)

new msn pic

hmm i've got a new msn pic.... and whenever i'm screwed, i think i will use it hahaha

thanks shuwan, for helping me do this picture. and now ppl are asking me to help them do for their names too! hahaha... i shld start collecting money for it lolz.

and thanks anthony, for helping me out with the powerpoint slides earlier on!! really appreciated your help...

hmm oh still got ppl to thank...

thanks siewhoon for helping me buy dinner! haha... let's see who else... hmm no more for today haha...

back in hall.. on a sunday afternoon?

i feel so freaking sian-ified. i'm back here in hall on a sunday afternoon and won't be able to eat home-cooked food for this week.

i'm back cos of the discussion thingy we gotta prepare for bs201... Are you for or against the use of brovine growth hormone in dairy cows? arghh... gotta prepare powerpoint slides for tml's debate thingy.. hmm debate.. the last time i did one was like in jc? in chinese class? haha. yucks.

anyway, thanks ks for the 千里之外 song sung by jay chou and fei yu qing. it's a new song wic will be in jay's latest album that will be coming out in the market here soon. hmm after listening to it for a few times, i still feel that jay does sound funny in this song and i think fei yu qing made the song quite pleasant to listen to haha. not that i have anything against jay lah. i do like most of his songs.

hmm oh anyway, kahsuan flying off tml oredi rite? Bon Voyage to you ks... enjoy your stay in vancouver okie? eat more pancakes with maple syrup there! haha... take lots of photos and show us on ur blog!! haha... take care over there!

alrighty, gonna go do my stuffs le, or else it's as if i nv come back hall early like tat haha.

sometimes you just gotta go WTF!

i've had enough of everything. what the hell, i don't my owe my life to anyone of you out there... but why the hell do i have to face all your 'black' faces every single time you people are unhappy about something?!

some people just act as if i did something wrong and f***ing owe them an explanation or something.

some people just thinks that the whole world owes them something.

in sch, i see people who are like this

back in hall, i oso have to face people who are like this

i'm sick of having to open my mouth to ask, "are you okay? what's wrong?" it's not that i'm not concerned, but sometimes, asking the same question to the same person every single time is very tiring, esp when the reply you know you would get is, "nothing lah, i'm okay."

if you're all really okay, den why the long faces? i really dun understand... esp when i think that these people are really my very close friends, it just is saddening and it adds stress to the stress that i'm facing from my school workload. haiz...

eyedrop eyedrop eyedrop!!!

i overcame one of my greatest fear in life today!! ONE!! haha.. that means still have many many more lah... i'm not a very brave person in fact... so yah.. HAHA

oh as i was saying, that one fear i overcame today was putting eyedrop into my eyes! i was studying in Library 2 today with Anthony when he suddenly took out this 'BLINK' eyedrop thingy and he asked me to try. i hesitated at first cos i never ever fancied putting anything into my eyes (hence no contact lens)... anyway back to the point, so i was like trying to force my fingers to squeeze that tube above my eye, and wondering why the hell the drop just took forever to drip down. my brain tried sending signals to the nerve endings at my finger tips... the neurotransmitters were working hard, but somehow my fingers just didn't dare press the tube.

after quite some time, finally, the action potential finally managed to make its way to the nerve endings. and the subsynaptic receptors had made contact with the neurotransmitters!! my fingers finally squeezed the tube and the eyedrop went into my eye. (sorry to those non-bio students, i was juz talking in human physiology terms HAHA, actually i oso dunno if i am saying it correctly anot lei).

yeah but anyway, before the drip went in, the image of little mk (abt 5-6 yrs old?) standing in the kitchen with his mum there, trying to force his eye, which was sore, open so that she could squeeze the eyedrop in, appeared in front of me.... still remember that this little mk was so scared that he just closed his eye shut soooo tightly tat his mum took 20 mins to squeeze the eyedrop into his eye.

so anyway, i couldn't believe that i overcame the fear, so i tried again.... 3 more times in fact. hmm so i didn't waste my time at all today. overcame one fear! haha.

and i finally completed revising BS201 and BS202 as of this afternoon, and i even had time to read thru part of tml's lecture. hmm efficient rite....

anyway that's all for tonite lah... nth to blog abt anyway... back to journals...

still the same old me after 1 yr

arghh.. it really sucks when, after 1 year, you still walk out of tutorial feeling that you don't know whatever you're studying well enough. that feeling is.... err, i dunno it's just a feeling that makes u go 'arghhhh!!!'

den you go back to your room hoping to clear any doubts with your frens online, but other work piles up and you gotta deal with them too, and you totally forget abt clearing the doubt.

oh and it's monday today... my monday swim!!! glad that anthony and i went swimming earlier today, can get to swim the length of the pool. cos at 5pm, they will divide the pool into 3 sections, 'Family', 'Swimmers' and 'Beginners'. And you gotta swim the width of the pool instead wic seems so stupid. cleared my usual 1km freestyle yay... and got abit darker cos the sun was so strong today.

no lesson tml since there's not wet lab practical sessions this week. so yepz, free day tml!! yipeee... but wad shld i do? do i study? oh man... this kind of life is so so dreadful. oh did i mention 'life'? this is 'no life at all', so how did 'life' come into play? ha...

microbiology textbook... here i come!!

pre-monday blues

it's a sunday...

yeah....

*checks calendar again*

oh, it's really a sunday...

it's 10.56pm...

yea

*checks clock again*

oh, it's really 10.56pm... oops, it jumped to 10.57pm.

arghh!! think i'm juz bored.... so fast, it's gonna be the start of the 3rd week of school tml oredi. Looking at the list of assignments on hand, i feel that i'm so dead haha. guess everyone feels the same way too.

the environment everywhere seems so hostile, it feels like everyone is trying to eat each other up. i wanna go home... can NTU shift to Hougang? or like open up a branch there. if not, i don't mind if only just SBS (sch of bio sci, not the bus company) moves to Hougang so i can go home everyday. Haha... i don't need the whole NTU to move over.

i'm studying....

yeah.. i'm really studying...

tml... tml i'm gonna see everyone in sch again. yeah...

oh, oh... introduce all the GODS of SBS to u all...

from left: kelvin, weichao, anthony and me (i'm not a god)

that's it for tonight.... gonna complete revising physio soon... by tonite.. finally!! omg. tata.

it's only the 2nd week of sch!! dun be so stressed mk...

arghhh... i'm starting to feel very stressed out but it's only the 2nd week of school... i know everyone's going thru the same shit as me now, but i can't help but feel stressed out. it's making me feel like i'm a person who cannot make it (like kahsuan always say of me... "uncle, u realli cmi leh..." haha) haiz...

i'm not competing with anyone for very fantastic results or what. it's just that i've set a target for myself wic i think is reasonable lah (anthony thinks it's reasonable too...), so it's not like i'm fighting for the A+-es or First Class Honours. I just don't want to disappoint myself. But why is the education system making it so hard for this small little wish to come true.

i wan to find the original me back... i don't want frens to always tell me that i look very stressed out... i don't want to feel demoralized at all...

i'm just weak...

anyway, if... (touch wood lah) if i end up in woodbridge, you all must come visit me hor... i promise i won't bite! hahaha...

sick & tired

yawnz... just returned from Hall 12 Open House... and I still reek of BBQ smoke even though I had my bath already. anyway sorry to my bosses, fred and andy, for not helping out much lah... didn't really feel like doing anything haha... but still in the end, i end up bbq-ing food for ppl.. so considered got help welfare lah hor? hahaha

Was supposed to start studying after dinner, but somehow I just got stuck at the Function Hall the whole evening till now haha.. wad made me sian was that ppl just keep coming to ask if any of the food on the BBQ pit was ready, just so that they can eat. Wasn't it supposed to be a 'cook-for-yourself' kind of BBQ? homo sapiens...

looking at the year 1s signing up to join the various committees, it just reminds me of the same event taking place one year ago when i was a year 1 too, pondering on what committee to join. in the end i joined publications and welfare committee wic i didn't regret joining. i learnt alot of things from these committees and of cos also learn about people who just join for the cca points without ever contributing at all.

anyway somehow there was a mad rush to write CDs just before the Open House. 3 other laptops were brought down to my room to help put the FOC pictures and videos into CDs for distribution. So, thanks to Siewhoon and Danielle who lent their laptops to us to write the CDs. So.. 5 laptops were working at the same time.... BUT... amazingly, some wrong documents went into some CDs haaha... so farnie.

*5 laptops at work*

*boss and subordinate*

I still feel quite hungry now... sianz...

Anyway, had my first Forensic Science lecture today at Nanyang Audit.... had to sit at the Circle Seats upstairs cos it was too occupied below. Couldn't really hear what the lecturer was saying... and there ain't any table to write on. Kind of fell aslp during the very last few slides of the lecture, but somehow my subconscious mind was still concentrating on the lecture haha. However there were others who rily concussed until they didn't even know that they concussed haha.. for example:

*kevin and weiming*

hope i don't get sued by them for using this secretely taken photo without their permission haha!

i've got a photo taken too while i was sort of aslp... being kept in someone's phone... can be used to blackmail me... cheeken neh neh haha...

anyway there are many ridiculous people out there these days who do things and say things without thinking first. wad the hell... i'm getting sick of everything you people do! damn it. seriously for once, i'm really tired of things that you people think are 'just say for fun'. so just stop it before my threshold potential is crossed and action potential is stimulated!! (huh, think i read too much physiology liao, i even talk physio....)

hmm anyway there was a concert by Lee Sheng Jie in NTU this evening... and good old kahsuan let me listen to the concert 'live' through the phone haha! thanks man haha... hope u all enjoyed the concert haha!

alright alright, i must rily get back to my Physiology liao lah... rily lag behind like shit.... and today just had another 2 new lectures. And i still have no idea what the art of academic writing shit is about... arghhhh!!!!!! someone just kill me.... and..and.. and... BS203 review essay assignment is madness! sighz... how did my seniors survive??

wasted the whole day today! stupid!

Oh my god, i think i wasted the whole day today lah. Was initially planning to like stay over in school to study after practical session. But then I was also interested in going for the INSTEP briefing so that I can know more about the application process and the different tuition fee schemes. But... BUT.... I ended up listening to a 'Chan Brothers' kind of talk in the blardy cold lecture theatre with a hungry stomach. I wasn't even interested in the pictures that those students had taken overseas lah. Wasted so much of my time.

Never mind the INSTEP talk thing. I went for lunch at Canteen A just to discover that almost everyone's there too and there wasn't any seats left. Had to wait and wait till there are empty seats again.

But luckily something good happened today. The Forensic Science module has changed lecture venue from MLT to Nanyang Auditorium!! Hence more vacancies are available!! wah i think i was one of the first few who managed to add it!! Hence I dropped my economics of manufacturing module =) hehz.... happy. Thanks to Shujing who helped me add the subject! And oso to help me wake Roland up to go add the subject haha... Alright, so seeing that many people could get Forensic Science finally, i'm happy for them too. But all don't study too hard okay? Let me get A+.... hHahaha. Also thanks to Maidu freshies who SMS-ed Anthony to say that they're taking Forensic Science and not Astronomy anymore... and I was like pondering why in the world SO MANY of them could still add forensic science. It was then that I found out that the number of vacancies had increased!

But i'm seriously amazed at how fast news spread and how fast NTU students are at snatching up electives. It was like super exciting... like playing with shares in the stock market. It was like letting go of Economics of Manufacturing shares and taking up Forensic Science shares and you are like the winner at the end of it all cos you finally got what you wanted so badly HAHA.

Wanted to study in the resource room in sch after tat. BUT there had to be tons of ppl in there making the whole place so crowded and noisy. damn. Made me carry my textbook all the way to sch today for nothing. Didn't wan to study in the library cos I'm quite scared of the library now since last semester, we almost spent all our days in the library studying for the examinations. So so so... I'm back in hall! Study study!!

boring monday

It's like only the first day of the 2nd week of a new semester, and i'm feeling so lethargic already? something must be wrong wrong wrong somewhere.... but luckily i still managed to concentrate on today's lecture and tutorials. I just feel so lazy to walk about only.

Just got back from my swim at SRC and i am realli realli very hungry right now but gotta wait for some ppl to come back from their jog... grr... anyway, on the way back to Hall from SRC, i saw this grp of girls training at the rooftop of the new ADM building? wow, wherever there's grass, there'd be training man haha. they are girls from the rugby team i guess (cos i saw them tossing a few rugby balls about?) Anyway should I make Monday my swimming day? Haha. Shall see how.

I think I really have no fate with the PHO240 (From Film to Digital I) module. TWICE, when there were one vacancy, I didn't manage to log in to STARS on time to add it. sianz 1/2.

Just read thru the lab protocol for tml's lab session..... and I was like... wad the shit, i hate drawing wad I see in the microscope =( I just dun like drawing...since young.

Anyway, thanks Anthony for helping me buy the Willy Wonka chocolates haha! I was just lazy to walk to candy empire. diaoz, i just typed ur name here and you log into MSN...

Alright, i'm going back to my human physiology textbook... i think this is an interesting module, seriously. I hope I do well for it =) and OF COS for the other modules too haha! Good luck mk!

I'm starting to miss the days full of fun and laughter....

*Amazons*

France Fireworks

alrighty, here are the videos for France fireworks display... it's divided into 2 parts (cos YouTube only allows 10mins max for each video haha)

so yeah, to those who didn't manage to go there to watch it, those who nvr intended to go watch it or those who couldn't get a good view of it even though u're there.. enjoy =)

2 bdays and a fireworks display

reached home at 4 plus this morning and feeling a little uncomfortable now because of the ktv session last nite, and feeling worse after i discovered that there's alot of things happening ard me and i am unaware of it, and to top it up, i don't have to go find out wad some of the things are? hmm...

anyway 'twas quite a busy day yesterday. just before leaving house for kahsuan's bday, i was rushing to read up on my microbiology (yes i still can't do the tutorial, haiz... mebbe i still hadn't had time to really try doing it.)

and so, after leaving house to meet the rest @ Somerset, our good fren Roland, had to tell me that the KTV session last nite was organised by him to celebrate Vic's bday and that he hadn't booked the cake, and hence i gotta waaaaaaalk all the way to Wisma to book the cake. don't ask me why Wisma, i don't know too. I can only think of a shop that sells cake there at that point in time. And walking back to somerset was worse, sweated like nobody's business.

yeah anyway last nite, as i've mentioned, 'twas Vic's 22nd bday. Met up with all my SRJC brothers at a KTV lounge in Serangoon area. Quite happy to meet them finally cos i dun play soccer hence i seldom see them. Hmm, as usual, there's always alcoholic drinks and so drinking went on and on, throughout the games and singing, until we were abt to leave at 3am and discovered that there was still Chivas and Vodka left.

Not wanting to waste them, Vic had to suggest that all of us there, shall take a small amt of those stuffs..neat. oh man, i really tried bracing myself up for tat as i've nv taken those things neat before. but still it didn't help much.... when the chivas went down, it was still okay for me. but when the vodka went down....... the walkway in front of me became vv curvy. i wasn't drunk, but it just felt like.... u know, there's this game played during orientation camps where u have to turn 10 rounds ard the pole or smth like tat. yeah... smth like tat.. i couldn't walk straight.

luckily i still talk sense or else they will do a video of me and put it up on youtube man. and when we reach the prata shop, Chee Wee was like asking me to go slp first when i didn't want to... cos i know if i slp, i wouldn't wake up le haha...

before ktv-ing, i was at the singapore river again, to watch the final fireworks display by the team from France. it was a wonderful display but i couldn't hear the music. anyway when i reached there, it was sooooo crowded that we had to stand behind and the trees were blocking our views. i was hoping that when it started, everyone would stand up and they did!! so i activated my squeeeeeeeeeeezing thru skills and brought my frens and myself right in front and yay, we got a very good spot for ourselves to view the fireworks HAHA... i'm juz good lah huh.....

oh yes, and of cos before watching the fireworks, i was at kahsuan's place celebratin' her 21st bday. received lots of wonderful presents rite? sorry that i couldn't stay long cos the rest wanted to go for fireworks so... yeah just had to follow them lah. ks, did u manage to watch the fireworks from ur rooftop? wahaha... oh anyway, i do have the videos of the fireworks last nite lah, but can't upload now... so i'll wait till i received all the photos taken den i post everything up hahaha!

alright, my head is still kinda spinning rite now!! argh.... weak.

time to do my tutorials, or else i'll be so so dead....

New Caledonia Fireworks Display

Fireworks display video by the team from New Caledonia

BS FOC Main Comm Dinner

I just got back from having dinner with the main commers of the BS FOC at Goodwood Park Hotel. This restaurant serves International buffet and... YES the food there was yummy man!! i made sure i ate till i think that the $30.80++ paid is erm.. fully utilised hahaha!

But i think i ate till i wanna puke out... ate lots of sashimi and 3 oysters... oh and lobsters too. All of them were quite fresh. we wanted to eat at least 4 oysters initially but... too full oredi... and when i took a banana to eat, everyone was like laughing, saying that that's the result of eating too much oysters.. lame. for those who don't know, oysters will 壮阳 one (it's aphrodisiac)... but, i think others ate more than i did lah haha.

*here's the oyster, lobster and sashimi*

Oh, and the above picture got roland, shujing and i very excited as we MMS-ed it to friends of ours, with the message "Are you hungry?" to suan them... sent it to Shuwan because she was with the Hall Pagents contestants so she couldn't have dinner. And oso to Wenxin HAHA... and guess wad she MMS back... look at the next picture...

Wenxin: "Are u hungry?Ha...hmmm shit u, i eating lousy food..............."

Haha that got all of us laughing like mad. Oh and this is a good chance for me to introduce Wenxin to the whole world, with a picture taken during hall foc, since she wants me to do it.... HAHA

*yeah that's LOVABLE oh wenxin and me* (as requested by her)
rily lovable anot, u all decide bah... HAHA
er xin rite, say herself lovable...

Oh and there was this dish which was super yummy too. it was actually juz bacon, but it goes very well with this little ball-shaped rock melon. they juz complement each other very well!!

My foc buddy Christine, and I tried out our 自拍 skills... I fared quite well...

..... but she did very badly, hence Shujing had to help her take a picture for us...

Oh, and I won't forget about the desserts!! Damn good. Let's see... We had....

*Floating Island*

*Egg Custard*

...and many many more, like Strawberry cakes, Chocolate cakes and Tiramisu.

To describe the feeling one feels when eating them.... The Floating Island reminds you of your 初恋 while the Egg Custard reminds you of your 2nd love (if any). The rest are just flings. haha.

Alright, going to KS's 21st bday party tml... and then I shld be heading to the Singapore River to watch the final fireworks display by Team France with Anthony and Weichao and many many more... yeah ppl from Maidu.

*ta da... weichao, me and anthony - all the good guys*

Hahas.... alrighty, shall end here tonite... type till fingers oso wanna cramp already.

it's been a week.....

sometimes i just wanna say smth.... but the words just won't come out... or rather, i don't know what to say.
it feels kinda suffocating, it's like being contained in a chamber full of only carbon dioxide.

but i guess sometimes there's no choice but to keep my damn mouth shut since i don't know what i can say cos sometimes when u say too much without getting your thoughts right first, things go wrong.... or rather things still may not turn out right since things may be wrong to start of with. mebbe i shld shut down my mind instead. haha, but i know it's impossible to do so.

It feels like I no longer know who I am and what I want anymore. Need some 'maintanence' I guess.

nothing in particular happened but... yeah i'm just typing out what is in my mind right at this moment.

anyway, one week has passed since school re-opened. attended 3 days of lectures and i can already feel the stress since i know what to expect this semester. and i rily hate that HW102 module - The Art of Academic Writing. Hope I can survive this year again, with the help from good people like Weibin, Wei Tzer etc etc etc.... Yeah, they're rily good people. smart but not snobbish. I still haven't got to thank them yet for helping me so much last year. But here's a BIG Thank You to all of you... =)

just came back from the E&I Week Bazaar at the North Spine... got my printer ink cartridge and a contact to call juz in case i need to order more ink cartridges. Still hoping they can give a good price. Got some freebies there too, an organiser and a Post-It holder.

many politics going on around Hall right now... hmm. somehow I'm receiving info on what's happening everywhere now also. I also do not know how come these info will come to me haha but yeah, just listen to them for fun i guess. i have been approached too, and i'm giving serious thoughts about taking up a certain position that has been offered to me. Participation vs Serious Studies. dilemma... but it seems that they have all taken that i'm part of them already. oh man.

i'm feeling tired... very tired. can I have 48 hrs a day? But i'm glad that some matters on my mind have been settled. Only some... haha but well at least they are settled.

Anyway thanks to all those who were concerned for me for this period. I will pull myself together asap, and get my life back on track.

-awaiting for kind souls to drop the modules that i want =)- *poof*

videos of fireworks...

alright since there are some ppl who are soooooo soooo hardworking, putting up the videos on YouTube... i shall just grab the videos from there and put them here to show u guys hahaha...









And the next one is from Team Italy... heard that it's quite good..

觸電

a very nice song by SHE... check out the chorus too.

Here are the lyrics. Use Unicode to view the chinese characters.

觸電
作曲：周杰倫 | 填詞：施人誠 | 編曲：鍾興民 | 製作人：王治平

風走在我們前面　甩裙擺畫著圓
花美得興高采烈　那香味有點陰
你在我旁邊的旁邊　但影子卻肩碰
偷看一眼　你的唇
是不是也有笑意明

＊明明是昨天的事
　怎麼今天我還在經
　一丁點回憶都能驚天又動
　想問個愚蠢問題　我們再這樣下
　你猜會走到哪裡

＃但請你不要太快揭開還沉默的情
　先讓我多著急一下再終於等到解
　太容易的愛故事就不耐人回味
　像這樣觸電　就夠我快樂熔

　我們就耐心培養萌芽不要急著開
　反正有長長的日記等我們去填滿
　在被全世界發現以前先愉快裝
　就這樣觸電　一直甜蜜觸電　直到爆炸

像一年四個季節　都被你變成夏
我才會在你面前　總是被曬紅了
像一百萬個鞦韆　在我心裡面叛
被你指尖　碰到指
我瞬間就被盪到天

And here's the MV...

fireworkz rocks...

just back from watching fireworks with kahsuan, wingyan and the peeps from Maidu...

today's fireworks display was from the Singapore Team...... heard that France is displaying theirs this coming Saturday.... argh kahsuan, why u holding ur bday celebration on saturday oso!? hahaha... dun worry, i'll turn up for ur bday celebration. lolz...

yups the fireworks were rather beautiful, but i was expecting more erm, patterns and styles... mebbe the other teams will do better? i heard that Italy's was not bad but too bad i missed it.

anyway here are some pics.... i've got some videos too but... too lazy to put it up lah. will be quite troublesome to do so... so yah, juz make do with the pics yah? hahaha...

**Maidu**

**wah**

**ooh...**

**nice fireworks**

i'm still waiting for the other videos to be sent to me!! so those who have, send to me okie?

dun feel like typing much tonite.... haha.... zzz..

beware of makeshift toilets....

damn, sch's reopening....

Hall FOC ended last night... guess most of the freshies had enjoyed themselves this whole week since it is filled with so much wonderful programmes lined up for them.

for me, i dunno if i can say that i had rily enjoyed the camp or not. most of the time during the day, i was just like a lone ranger (especially speedy race on the 2nd day)... walking from kallang basin all the way to cavanagh bridge on my own and back to areas around esplanade. and worse still, many things had happened before this whole camp. i simply just wasn't feeling great the whole week at all. but at least i had Xena eating dinner with me that night even though we had to rush thru dinner. got to know some freshies there and 2 of them, Jessica and James, they were my freshies from BS Camp.

but still, running around with a camera and a videocam and lots of spare tapes and batteries in the day, sitting in front of the computer thru the nite with Wenxin and Seth editing the videos, all these were tough times but they were fun. got to work with ppl whom i seldom get to interact with during normal days.

here are some of the few pictures that i have...

**video editing in progress**

**junjie and me**

**caddie and me**

** OG Xena**

**Programmers**

rushing to edit the last two days of footages was the worst. almost couldn't come up with it. and to make it worse, ppl out there were not encouraging the pnp (publicity n publications) committee. all they did was to tell us if we can't make it, den dun bother about the last day footages. but perseverance saw us thru i guess... we managed to put in a little of the last day footages in the end. but still quite sad that they didn't want us to show the video for day 2 since they think that there's not enough time.

and when the video that we did was broadcasted during the closing ceremony, seeing that everyone enjoyed the video, there was a great sense of satisfaction at the end of it. now i understand what wilfred means. those late nights, sleeping only at 6am and having to wake up at 9 plus was still worth it i guess. it felt kinda great when the freshies cheered for the pnp subcomm... yup.

well, the end of Hall FOC marks the beginning of a new academic semester. i can't say that i'm ready for sch to start again. wad i mean is that i know i have not wasted the holidays as i had not wasted my time.... learning new things at work, got to know new friends thru the orientation camps, doing things that i thought i could only dream of it happening but still, i think it's too short this holiday.

things are always going the opposite direction from what i want them to be like.
