dun dream your dream, live your dream

Went to watch 14 Blades. It’s filled with action. Storyline so-so, but the actors did quite a good job. Donnie Yen is 帅 lah!

i need to wake up! it’s week 4, and no work done!
i need to learn how to spell procrastination and stop procrastinating. Focus and get things moving!

on the side note, i want an iPhone, not iPad. i think i will be the butt of all jokes if i were to get one. LOL.

Met with Elaine & CJ yesterday at Orchard for lunch. I finally managed to 解开 the mystery revolving CJ, and I was right!

Had lunch at ION’s Watami. Cheap and Nice. Went to take photos at Orchard Central, and high-tea at OC’s Crystal Jade. We flirted with a cute boy. So cute can! Too bad, he only 13 months. Too young liao.

Well, we lost! Even though we tried very hard to get back the runs, we lost. God gave us the chance to play 5 innings, but we couldn’t win. Everyone in the team tried their best, but luck wasn’t with us. And that marked the end of my softball “career”. I took up the sport during year 1. I first played the game in my hall’s IBG. I found the game interesting and decided to join the team. I couldn’t bat at all during my 1st year. I was always a “vase”. I can’t remember when I started being catcher, but over the years, I managed to improve. =)

As the years go by, I grew more and more confident in my eyeing and batting. By year 3 and 4, I could bat (not 100% accurate lah). I can safely said that other than jogging, I like softball the best. I will try to continue to play on outside if possible.

Anyway, I was goalkeeper for hockey for the last 4 years. Even though, I was assigned to the position in my 1st year, I still managed to play the position well.

This year is the first time I played boggle and my last. Kinda regret that I didn’t start earlier. I could have been damn zai, but heng I did join the team. I have fun playing! We managed to win Hall 9, and prevented them from going in semis! We almost made it to semis, but we lost to 3. Nevermind le. It’s the process.

Hall 10 will definitely become stronger!!!

With boggle and softball matches ended, it marks the end of my IHG. Kinda sad coz I’m graduating. Behind all those excitment of graduating and not having to study anymore (minus the FYP and job-hunting), I guess I will miss hall life a lot. All the MJ sessions, hall events, IHGs and people. Somehow, I hope to continue another year. Maybe I will achieve more in IHG. But one can never be a student forever. Eventually we still need to move on in our lives. With Cai Jie moving out soon, I’m gonna get lonely.

Well, that’s life. 分手离别 is part and parcel of life. We just need to make the effort to keep in touch.

This is my last IHG. This year, the softball team has new additions, together with the existing team, we have made it to the quarters. Tomorrow is the day when we will decide can we proceed. My 4 years in Hall, we have the best combination of players. I want to win badly. I want to create a memory that Hall 10 and I will remember for the years to come. Please, Lady Luck, favors us tomorrow! For tomorrow, I gave up boggle. I have trained hard for boggle. In the end, I have to choose. With a heavy heart, I choose softball, the game I give all I have for the last 3 years. I know CJ made a tough choice. For her, for us, we’ll win tomorrow’s matches!

TOWARDS PERFECTION, HALL 10!!!

Happy New Year!!!

I spent new year’s eve in my lab, doing FYP. Had dinner at home and watch the countdown on TV before falling asleep. Sounds kinda boring but I like that. It has been sometime since I slacked at home.

My neighbours are moving out one after another. I’m gonna miss them! It makes me want to move out too. I shall think about it.

Watched Sherlock Holmes on Wed. Witty film.

My title spelled it all. The NTU results are out at midnight. As always, there are people who do well, and others who don’t.

I really wanted to celebrate and tell people my grades, but then given the fact that those I heard didn’t really do well, I feel bad to “hao liao” my grades. So I only told a few people and people who asked me. (except my MJ kakis. We stopped play for 5 mins to check on our results.)

This place is only known by a handful, so I can “hao lian” my grades here.

I’m proud to announce that after 6 semesters (IA not included), I finally didn’t get a C/C+ for my modules. Even for my best semester (year 1 sem 2), I got a C+. And I got more than 3.5 for my GPA. My best GPA was in Year 1 Sem 2 at 3.98, and this semester I gotten 3.73! I’m just glad that now my CGPA is at 3.5, sitting (dangerously) at 2nd lower!

To me, it’s a good news (but my CGPA is still like the bottom compared to my coursemates). I’m just happy. So this entry served as my “hao lian” kodak moment.

I’m glad that vi is my roommie for close to 3 years. come to think, I wasn’t really close to vi during secondary school. I got to know her more during 1st months in JC when we were in the same class. She was very competitive and hardworking then. We practically have nothing in common except coming from the same secondary school. I cannot remember how we actually became close to each other. Our civic class was a close-knitted bunch, so I guess that’s how we became close. Even now, we dun really have a lot in common. I guessed we were by each other’s side whenever we needed someone. Vi and I dun need to stick together all the time and we can still relate to each other. That I guessed is what we called life-long friends.

I’m also glad to have my secondary school friends. We have known each other close to 8-10 years. We met up once in a while. But I know when I need them, they will have my back.

I’m really thankful for knowing people like Vi, TP gang, 213, hall, CBE and TKD people that made my life so differently. Thank you for coming into my life.

I’m doing my best not to interfere in what he’s doing. After all, it’s his committee and he should lead them and the hall in the way he visioned. He’s an adult and capable of making the right decisions. It’s his call. Unless he seek for my advice, I shall not say a word to him. I understand what he is trying to do. The last thing a team should do is to degrade his/her own team members. If one cannot even respect one another, and support them, the team will just fall into pieces and teamwork will be non-existent. However at the same time, the problem is still not addressed. (actually, the problem itself never even appear). Letting the members refresh their responsibilities and emphasizes on teamwork is important. I understand this, does not mean I totally agree to it.

Anyway, people have eyes. They can see. They will question. Ultimately, they will also comment. Yes, as a fellow team member, you should not join in the commenting (actually this look bad on the committee as a whole). At the same time, you don’t have to stand up for your fellow member. (S)he can speak for herself. Actions speak louder than words. If you have done what you should have, then you dun have to be afraid.

One year as President and in HPC taught me one of the most important lessons in life. Looking at things in different point-of-view and respecting others’ decisions (respecting, understanding do not mean agreeing).

But as some seniors (especially those involve in the hall), we like to stir shit. Same like other residents, we see, we question and we comment. It’s there for everyone to see. Just that we have been through the same situation (shit), we understand it more. Just let us be us, we will get tired of the stirring and stop after the answer is provided.

As some of you knew, I lost only 2 tuition jobs I had (my tutees had their O/A levels, therefore I lost my job. I din lose my job coz I’m a lousy tutor. Though I did before. LOL.) Anyway, after I ended my tuition assignments, my mum, being ever helpful, helped me scout around for tuition assignments using her ‘auntie’ network. And I really appreciate that, coz she actually found me 2 assignments (she got 1 for my sis. BTW, my sis have 3 assignments on hand). Being a filial daughter, I shall give her some cash after I get my pay. =)

Anyway, I din want to heed the Government’s old advice and stop at 2 (that’s lame. AHAHAHAHAHA). So I decided to look around for more assignments, which I successfully found another 2. YES! Total, I have 4 assignments. This make me even closer to going on my grad trip.

FYI, I’m became broke after buying my EEE ASUS netbook. And I just fork out some cash for my brother’s PS3, which is damn fun lah. I need cash.

Thankfully, next sem’s timetable allows me to have time for more tuition. KUDOS~
