Monday morning, I went down to Ngee Ann AT hub for a meeting concerning me and few of my classmates' spots in the Senai Flying trip. Honestly, i didn't feel like waking up at all, after being drenched under the heavy rain playing football at Jurong Junior college. Well we won the game, cause the opponents withdrew from the game. But that doesn't mean paying half the amount of cash for the refereeing service ! Damn it's 3 dollars and Kok chye did not even got the chance to play, even though he bought a new pair of boots.

The weather's is very cool these few days, in addition to the good news i just received a call from the library, reminding me to start work tomorrow. Yup it's just good news and good news coming my way. Does that include the arrival of my expected GPA results ? Well to early to comment on that right now.

Oh back to the Senai Flying trip, if there are 6 withdrawals from the current team, this means the inclusion of me, Trey, Ze Ting, Tiger, Zheng Rong, and Yao Jun. If there aren't any, I guess it will just have to be Genting for us.

Mom and Dad asked if i was interested to head to our neighbouring country to re-do my stupid hair. I agreed and spent like 4 hours in the salon plus a lil bit of shopping there. Bought a new wallet too ! Finally no more Billabong, say hello to Louis Vuitton. HEEEE

Good luck to me and my new job tml! Plus congratulations to the big guy Mr. Wilfred !
This time it's my treat la don't worry ! HAHA

It's finally over !

Today's paper was quite nerve-wrecking, and i hate taking exams during the afternoons. I can't concentrate in the afternoons, and my chances of getting careless is expotentially high. Hopefully I can get the GPA result i want, if not, I will turn vegeterian the next semester. Ok that was just a friendly remark. And lastly, the holidays are here.

Went out with the ATFKERS, and it was the first time we did not head down to Paradiz Centre, which was the usual hang-out place, instead we went to IMM, followed by Brewerks. It was awesome especially when this is my first time in a pub-restaurant. A good recommendation from Trey and Jun Long, they do know how to enjoy life. If it's me, i would be chilling at those kopitiams. HAHA.

Finally it's going to be the working period ! Lots of events coming up ! Senai trip, cycling trips, nike marathon, volleyball trainings and blah ! It's going to be one hell of exciting activities. Oh did i mention the upcoming soccer match this Sunday ?

P.S: I will not disappoint Kin Peng's punctured soccer ball. We will win this match! Confidence and Faith. :)

20.08.2008

I'm not dead yet. Just stressed out that's all.

Previously on Friday :

It's been a long time stepping into town area and I wasn't quite excited about it. The reason why I had to go there is due to Joyce's birthday. Yup I celebrated her birthday, and it was just the both of us. Do not think too much, it's just a friendly celebration. That's all. :) Oh oh and the Passionade - passion fruit and vodka from Fish & Co ? It's thy sex man ! Haha.

After the whole celebration thingy, which i almost died out from all that walking, i rushed back at home to get all soccer gear to meet Jeronme and the rest. We headed to this new soccer cage, Fico. Of course, I would like to thank Jeronme for the ride, without his car, i mean without him we wouldn't get to play over there.
Playing in the night can certainly knock one out if one hasn't played soccer for a long time. Moreover I'm still recuperating but my legs just wanna kick some balls.
Oh oh you wanna hear the best part ? In the last game, I scored and assist, just like Lionel Messi in one of his game in the Olympics. That feeling is wonderful. But I still wanna thank Ang for his encouragement and motivation, without it I wouldn't unleash my potential. :) Had supper after that and that day was ended in style.

Saturday :

Woke up and chionged those television programmes till late evening before embarking on the journey of Thermofluid. I cleared chapters 5, 6 and 8 ! Swee la, though I have some doubts, it's still possible that I am going to score for this module. I guess right now, my classmates are all prepared for this final showdown which is this week. Funny as it seems, to them studying alone helps. For me and my group of Talk Cock members, our way is to study together, pass together or die together. Whether rain or shine, we would still study as one united cockers. Better start getting used to this studying style lo.

Can't wait for training later ! :) haha

oh oh Nicholas Keith Tam if you are reading this, get well sooon arh...
Finally Incredible Hulk is sick for the first time. LOL!

It's been a stressing Tuesday afternoon in the library, trying to understand and figuring out why problems are suppose to be solved this way rather than the other way round. I thought I could clear all my doubts during consultation, but when i was in the library more doubts surfaced. And yeah, I'm crapped up. Damn...



Math...the...mat...tics... Siaaan to the maximum !




How ?! Help ?!

It's not that I do not know how to do, it's how the questions can be twist and turn without you knowing. Okay for example, let us take a look at this question of mechanics of flight:

Calculate the engine thrust required during cruise.

As some of you might know, to find the minimum thrust you must have maximum (L/D). Therefore, CDo = CDi. With these two information, i acquired the Cl and Cd very easily. OK ! Problem solved ! I got the thrust required.

Now here comes the confusing part... The answer turned out to be the other way round, this was how this answer was obtained.

I have the weight of the airplane, density and wing area, and velocity values. Using the formula
i am able to find the Cl value. Ok now i sub this Cl value into another formula in
which i obtained the Cd value. Same as the above, I calculated and this time the answer
seemed to tally with the one as given in the booklet. Damn !

So tell me, which method do you expect to use if you encounter this question when you are in the actual exam ? Haix... I can't wait to see my lecturer to clear this doubt, hopefully he allows both methods to be used. It's not about the workings, it's about you understand the theory behind and thus applying the correct application to solve the question...

Argh here comes the more Fucked up part, my internet just got disconnected. -.-

The first two days of the week have been really tough for me, I did lots and lots of mugging alone at home. Well I know I'm supposed to study in the library, but come to think of the traveling time, it's really troublesome. Anyway I have studied for the first module, but have yet to practise some questions. I believe when you understand what's going on, there isn't a need to practise. Yeah practise makes perfect, that's what they always say. Well i will try practising some questions ok ? Relax relax...

Some of my ATFKERS would be heading to school tomorrow to seek desperate help from lecturers to save their asses, including me. I wonder what questions do i have in mind to ask them, i must practise on those questions then i can find out what to ask... Damn !

I've been having some problems with legs, for my left i can't stretched properly whereas my right ankle still haven't fully recover yet. How to prepare for this upcoming training and the match next week ? More and more problems surfacing right now, hopefully things turn out the way they are. I'm still waiting for the call for my job application. And Billy !!!............

Right now it's Monday and I'm still wide awake staring at my laptop just trying to find someone to chat, but it seems there's no one to talk to. Sian.

Sunday :

Woke up quite late in the afternoon, and I was definitely sure I received a message from Wei Qian asking me to train soccer with the church people at school. It was drizzling a little, but if there's a chance to kick a ball I'd rather get drenched. Kin Peng was our coach of the day, we trained under him, lots of dribbling and passing to practice. I tried to kick the ball with my right foot, but it still hurts after two weeks of rest. Seems like I need more time to recuperate. After listening to our coach about our opponents, I knew that we are going to lose to them to a very large extent, but this can be prevented if our defense were to be strong and aggressive. I will give my 100% to the team, since they invited me to play for them. Confidence and determination, that's what I need right now.

Studies :

Don't worry about me, I will start working on my modules on Monday, which is today la. It will be at Ngee Ann library, and hopefully I do become very hardworking, don't wish to slack anymore. It's the last week, and it's a critical one, no more games or any nonsense, it will be the beginning of my final showdown. I will get the GPA score of 4. Noobthenick! Jia you Jia you Jia you !

Love Life :

??? Nah not in the right time to talk about this right now. Maybe during the holidays I will try looking for a suitable partner, if not i think i would spend more time with my fellow brothers and friends. HAHA

Jobs :

Yeah, my lecturer recommended me to help out in the school library, but it seems that she still hasn't called me yet regarding the job application. I am serious about working, and desperately wanna earn some quick cash that would last me through the 2 months holidays. Damn. And lastly Billy ! I need the lifeguard job too ! Reply me asap !

Firstly I would like to wish my country a happy belated birthday ! Secondly it's the first time in my life that i never went out to celebrate the nation's birthday with all my friends ! I slept till late in the afternoon, and the feeling wasn't good for me, staying at home for the whole day watching tv and nothing else ! I'm starting to feel out of life...

Just so you know, I am so prepared for tomorrow's AMP2 final class test. If my prediction is accurate, I would just have to study the power point slides which are given in the book itself. Remember, it's the confidence i have, not arrogance. Jia you ! Jia you ! Jia you Noobthenick !

While I'm trying to get all these material facts into my head, I was wondering, what are the plans coming up for this week National Day Parade ? I am still limping to school everyday for your information, so distance would be a factor during that day. My wish is to see the fireworks just outside the floating stadium, whether it is with the one i fancy or with my bunch of my friends, I don't care as long as I get to see em'. Wei Qian and Kok Chye has been inviting me to their church service this upcoming Saturday, if there isn't any plans then i guess that would be the last resort. :)

Oh I would like to share some great news with you people, there might be a chance that i would not be working at Carrier Transicold ! That is, if the job interview at the campus library turns out to be successful. Even if i can't impress the librarians with my computer skills, not to worry, Billy has recommended me one lifeguard job, and the pay's quite attractive. Better than having to slug my guts out from morning till night at the industry when i could actually work in an air-conditioned environment or take care of kids in the baby pool. Power bodoh ! :)

Lastest update ! I can finally move my toes, although i still cant wear my crocs' slippers, I am starting to increase my walking pace. Hopefully by this week, i can start running, then it's going to be gym-ing time for me ! HAHA

Alright ! This week is going to be super packed with loads and loads of events, tests and even assignments ! So, I suggest that we take all this one step at a time, in this way I would be able to finish up my mugging and play more at the same time ! Ok here we go : ...

Things that I need to accomplish :

AMP2 final class test
MINDS carnival administrative stuffs
National Day outing
AMP2 revision
AMP2 Report Assigment

Sounds very stressful right ?! Well that's the kind of life that one has to endure when he is in a very competitive course - Aerospace Technology. The road ahead is going to be even steeper with lots of obstacles to overcome. I will definitely pull this through with the help of my ATFKERS and of course TCG members around me. Right now, I'm not in the mood for any relationships, just wanna focus and get the GPA result that i want. If i fail to do so, I will... (Ok I have not think of something yet, but when i do i will notify you guys the first thing it pops up in my mind. )

Beneath my skin lies a hero. ' With great power comes great responsibility. '



AWESOME SHIT ! This tattoo is the real deal man !

Went touring Google and saw this stunning spidey tattoo that caught my attention immediately, and right now I feel like doing one of this cool art onto my left arm. But come to think of it, this might be edited through photoshop by someone.. If it's really real, i think tattooists in Singapore aren't up to the job to work on this stunning masterpiece.

Spent my weekends mugging on my AMP2 final class test, and it seems everyone has already finished eating up their books halfway, well i'm almost done, just need to read up on those online learning resources, which is going to give me migraines cause those passages just never seem to end. Damn!

Yesterday I went to find the 'sinsei' to rub on my swollen ankle, which is finally subsiding. From a pig's leg to er... I can't find a word to describe la. Anyway, i can move my toes already. It's a good sign ! I have to start mugging on the same few topics tomorrow during lectures! alright alright.

Good Night. :)

My stupid ankle still has not recovered yet ! I've been facing problems during bathing, especially when washing my hair with only one hand while the other grabbing onto the shower pole in case i slip and fall. But the good thing is, I do not need to do any housework as my right ankle cant be drenched ( that is due to the mopping of the floor. ).

I promise to give myself a treat to the movies once my ankle doesn't smell of the medical oil, and I wanna thank my classmates for putting up with the strong medical scent during classes. Thank you for your patience, and to friends who have to moderate their walking pace so that i could catch up with them. And lastly, thanks to those who sent me those ' get-well ' messages. I really appreciate that.

Today was a boring one, i had the television all by myself as walking was a problem for me. Fortunately there are some good programmes to keep me awake, and i did not wanna open my books and mug. Wonder if the response to the dinner gathering on Monday would be good, I haven't seen some of my good buddies for a super duper long time. I'm always out with the ATFKERS and I am feeling very guilty about it. Hopefully on national day there might be a plan going on...
