Do you know, it has always been a tradition in our Aerospace course to have disputes over certain stuffs when the days of the exams are due. And it's always the few ones whom will be affected, and I thank God for that. At least we know that mugging isn't everything, sometimes thrashing things out makes us feel even lighter from all the books, and it rids away all the bad stuffs before attempting those pathetic papers.

Through the disputes and arguments, I learn how to become patient with my temper, and applied the technique of listening to my pals' rants and their problems. It can be fun actually, cause you do not actually need to give or provide solutions for them. Just a pair of listening ears can make them feel distressed, being there for them shows how you could actually show love towards him or her. This "love" isn't homosexual, it is an action to show how you actually give care and concern to one another.

I hope all these disputes can seriously come to an end, and take the time out to all celebrate in our very own ATFKER's chalet 2009! No books, no mugging, no time-wasting. Just pure fun and madness and lots of blanket parties in the night! Better not let nkt hears this, if not he will jump for joy! =D

Anyway just want to give you all some brief updates on what happened today, headed down to Tampines to mug for the final remaining modules. From the time range of 10am -5pm, you obviously learnt many things there, provided you have a very good self-discipline. Then I was walking around the mall, and I saw this girl whom I know was working at this random optical store. It was definitely her, and definitely fate I guess. I think I am going to experience this feeling of crush again. It takes time and a step of faith. Oh and a little patience that's all.

HAHA

I was early for church service today! Praise the Lord! But did not paid much attention to during the sharing of the Word. I was deep in thoughts about many things, stupid things actually. But at least I've cleared all my charges towards him through my blog. I felt much more lighter and better, but this doesn't mean I am also free from the exams stress.

Oh I played against COR (Church of Resurrection) today, and the result - 1-1. An assist from Wei Qian to Marcus who scored with his head in the six-yard box. If I want to stay in the starting team, I have to be firm on ground and judge those high balls. Seriously, I look like a clown when it comes to handling high balls.

Waking up later in the morning, have to start some serious mugging. =/ Chiong arh!

First and foremost, I want to make an public apology to a friend of mine who happened to be in the same class as me. Yes you, the bespectacled guy with that blue crumpler bag. I hope you know the current situation in our class now, the never-ending politics played down since the previous semester. Indeed this is a pure act of childishness, and I assure you there will be no more of this kind of crap in the future. It's been nice knowing you since the start of year 1, and I don't want the exam period to always affect our friendship. I can still recall those days at Yunnan, disturbing and using our course reputation to conquer the entire trip team. This has to end right now.

" I am sorry for all the words that I have used against you, especially those harsh words and actions that I have done behind your back, without you noticing me. These are all pure cowardice, I do not dare to tell you in the face what your problems are. Instead I go around telling people how practical and unscrupulous you are behind your back. Like what Wilfred told me, true friends criticize you in the front, good friends stab you in the back. Recently I myself have been inside your shoes, and this feeling is never really good. I have tasted this kind of feeling already. I will ensure that all this badmouthing and gossiping will be gone forever, and hope to ask for your forgiveness. But this doesn't mean that your bad points are solved. I just want you to know that I will be telling you what your problems are, in your face."

Whats more, I want to thank God for allowing me to post this apology letter. Joseph shared with me something very powerful today, which is the word "Love". Love is a form of action, then comes the feelings. If you used your own feelings to love someone, then may I ask what if one day your feelings are wrong? Does it mean that only when you feel good you actually love that person? And when you are feeling down, you don't want to love that person? Think about it, people. It is very easy to love someone whom you know for a long period of time, but when you are asked to love someone whom you don't know, a stranger to you, will you love him ?

It is only when you actually start to love someone whom you don't know, or might be a stranger to you, you actually practice humility. Humility is another powerful word, and love doesn't mean like. I have told you before love is a form of action. It can be through helping, listening and seeing other people's problems as yours. There fore I seriously challenge you readers to think about it.

Have you ever tried loving someone whom you hate? I am still learning to...

A very good morning to all of you readers, are you surprised that I am still up and awake on a Saturday morning? Too bad, cause later at 8.45am I have to report at Christ Church for some volunteering thing. And somehow I am also involved in this, hopefully I do not become a screwed-up over there. Can you imagine, alone and sitting in the living room blogging during this time? Crazy.

Gathered at 888 plaza with Adam, Ivan, Kok Chye, Billy and Wei Qian. We updated on each of our lives during the past 2 weeks right after CNY ended. And the funny thing was that all of us always kept getting out of point while we wanted to focus on the problem that Billy was facing recently. I have not seen him for a very long time already, and I could not get used to his presence while we were slacking at 888. Still all of us had a good laugh during the gathering.

Okay la, I shall close my eyes and rest. If not I might not last till evening.

I seriously think that this semester is one of the toughest I have ever been in my course. You know why? Not only the competition is increasing, people from my class are even falling out with each other. Just like what Wilfred said, brothers shoot you in the front, friends stab you from the back. The amount of politics in my class is the highest so far among the 3 classes, and fortunately we have only 2 more semesters left.

Indeed it is just a week left before the holidays start, but during this time, enemies are made, mugging and revisions are everywhere and people are starting to break down from mind games of the better people excelling in their modules. Come on, where's are all the good attitudes and friendiness inside all of us? I still prefer the old us, coming to school and crapping all day long. Even if there isn't any outings after school, at least we aren't backstabbing and gossiping behind people's backs. But now...

This weekend I will be completely packed with lots of stuffs. I wonder how will I be able to cope with the remaining days of revision and hopefully understand all this shit before the final countdown.

Alert! Oreos on the loose!



Have you ever seen a luggage filled with so many packets of oreos?

Arranging them in place.

These are some overdue random pictures for you readers to enjoy! I apologize if you are actually waiting for me to start the topic on the previous post mentioned. I will start immediately after the exams, because this week has been a hectic one and my eye-bags are starting to surface.
I even got depress and got my hair shaved, some of you have seen it. There were criticisms and compliments from friends. But I had to shave my hair because of my attachment during March, I have to look decent, and this means no colored hair and removal of all piercings. By that time, I should be able to grow some back, get a decent hair cut and impress all those air stewardesses!

Okay I am starting to smell jealousy from some of my attachment friends. HAHAHA! Too bad suckers! =D

I will be posting on the topic " Who men really are and what women wants? ". Please tag to give me some ideas regarding this issue, because I am sick of people whom are very ignorant after countless reminders and nagging periods. I had enough of it, I am going to do some research and start a counseling session right here.

Thanks

Now I can say whatever I like, yeah. I finally attended church service this morning! =D

But I am super duper tired right now. After last night gathering at huat huat huat plaza.

First and foremost I would like to wish a Happy Valentine's day to all of you, including men and women who are single right this moment. Just a friendly reminder for those in relationships, try not to overspend too much on your girl friends, because I have recently created the "Save Noobtehnick" fund organization, and hopefully readers like you can play your part by donating some small change to make a big change in my life. =D

Normally during the Valentine period, I would have dates to go out with! But due to the economic recession and etc, I would be spending this special day alone. You know in the past I would often head to town with my friends, spend quality time searching for the best Valentine gift for the particular girl I had in mind. But on this Valentine's? I don't think you will ever believe the next sentence that I will be typing.

I helped my good friend "A" prepared his Valentine's gift with another good friend "B"... I am definitely crazy, instead of keeping a lookout for my own Val's date, I actually helped a friend prepare the gift! But it was worth it, I got to learn something out of it.

Okay this is shocking news but that goes to show what friends are for right? You make friends so that you can exploit something out from them. Wait a minute, do you know any friends who actually uses this principle? If you do, please do not shout the name out on my tag. I have a friend/colleague who actually has this principle of exploiting something out from friends around him. He does not exploit stuffs such as "ka-chings" or Kleenex, he exploits knowledge from friends who excels in their own individual field of expertise. That is his true ability, which leads him to success. Better not say any further, if not... "Siao lian eh! So you are the mastermind arh?!"

Steady la, will update more later.

Things that I will do:

Cellgroup
Percussion training
Soccer match
Valentine's dinner with Ivan and friends.

I've been spending the day at home mugging on my ASAS powerpoint slides, and it wasn't something comfortable, especially when you have to read at least 80 slides for each chapter. It's not a joke, and if I want to score an A for this module, the revising starts now.

Okay! Tomorrow I have to make up for being absent from school, by running 30 laps around the school. It all starts by sleeping early now, and waking up at 6am later, and doing more warm-ups to prevent from those muscle cramps.

As the dates of the final exams begin to approach, I am starting to lose the focus and the drive to mug. Maybe I am getting complacent, or being overcome by fatigue. I need someone or something to spur me on. It can be through any means or anyone. Help me.

Yes yes I know I am absent from school today, missed out morning's training with Alvin and the rest. But I have plans on what to do before the final exams, study schedules and mini timetables.
Recently, someone in my class just happened to piss me off. Now, almost everyone in the class all agree that he is a very typical and practical person.

A person who only chooses the best to teach him, to do group projects with him in order to become a success in class. It isn't something wrong actually, but the attitude he's given us is intolerable. Those who are not useful tools to him in terms of studying and excelling in individual modules, he will shun us away. Only when there is time to have fun, he will join us and talk "cock" with us. What his impression has given us, is someone whom we can treat him as a colleague.

Alright shant not post any further, and if you do happened to know people like that. Please give me a call and I can tell you the best solution to deal with this type of assholes. =D

Not attending church service for two weeks isn't something to be proud of. People will start to have bad impressions on you, and I even shared my testimony in front of the chapel! What irony man. My lack-of-discipline attitude has to go away, definitely.

Waking up has always been a problem rather than a routine. I seriously need to change, and that's how this genius idea of mine came along; and that is to head campus in the early morning and run with my classmate, Alvin. I will mention more of him down here as time passes. I realize he is someone who also actually needs friends around him, given from his past background. The even better news is that he's a Christian! At least I know someone who can control my behavior and the amount crude language in classes. You should know in a polytechnic there are huge amounts of temptations within the campus.

I shall prove myself through actions, not just words. Another 5 and a half hours to go before waking up! Good night people.

Okay now I am staring in front of the screen, thinking of what to share with you readers. Maybe I should start off with something that happened on Friday evening.

Had dinner at Jin Hong's workplace (Pastamania), Lot1@ Choa Chu Kang. Jun Long, Ze Ting, Yao Jun and me were the remaining ATFKERS who turned up. The rest were either sleeping or out with their chicks. The meal I ordered was seriously wasted, especially the Aglio Olio I ordered, the taste was horrible and I almost threw up. Not that the pasta suck, but I once ate a Bacon Aglio upsized plus a banana smoothie, I ended up getting stomach flu and it was terrible. Thinking that this phobia would go away yesterday, I was wrong. Eventually, that plate of apple crumble pie saved my appetite.

We "lei-park" around the shopping centre while waiting for Louis to come join us, well of course not by public transport. Took a bus down to Bukit Panjang plaza where we supposed to meet him, and during the journey we made some stupid jokes and this particular crap face turned around and smile cheekily.

Yao Jun shouted: " If you want to listen, then turned around and hear la! No need to eavesdrop on us"

So he thought we would join him in the verbal abuse, but instead I shouted Yao Jun's name and told him he was from Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Everyone broke out in laugher and luckily the bus was almost vacant that time.

Met Louis and headed down to West Coast park where we played all those high elements and it felt like those childhood days, we were like kids but we all had fun la. Then we saw an incident where there were fire engines, CIDs, policemen enclosed in a sealed-up area. An old lady was actually burnt to death in one of the toilets, very horrifying and gruesome. For more news information you can check out Jin Hong's blog or the straits time. Chilled around the seaside and took pictures to spend time away.

We all had our fun and released all the stresses in this outing. Next week will be less shag, as I have only 3 studying days! I am definitely going to make up for the time loss by going for a movie with girls again! Okay okay or with some of my guy friends...

Did I mention I was going for another 20 rounds of running around the track on Monday morning ? =D

I have been anticipating this very day, the day where all misery ends. On 6th February 2009, I have finally submitted my "Engineering Design" group report! You will never want to know how I really endured through this week, because the word "sleep" has never appeared to me during the past few days. One word of advice to you readers out there, never do last-minute research or drawings of your ideas generation, always prepare your own mini-deadlines so that you can finish your required tasks on time. Or else you will end up like me, and you would wish that those eye-bags and pimples would go away, due to the piling stress and workload.

Attended my attachment briefing, and I have been chosen to work at Goodrich Aerostructures Pte Ltd. The good news is that I will be situated around Changi where all my friends would be working there too. The bad news would be the traveling journey, especially from Woodlands to Changi. That's when the power of having your own transport comes in, I better start building good relationships with some of my friends around me. In this way I can hitch a ride in their wheels, and I know this sound very practical of me, but no choice la. =D

HAHAHAHA

Okay 1 presentation down, 2 more major tests to go. However, this is not the end, yet.

Yes I know I have been complaining and whining, no good things to share with you people. I assure you people, all will end come this Friday. Then there would a soccer match on Sunday, after church service. Sadly, I missed church service last Sunday due to my lack of self-discipline again. Not only that, I realized I have been going back to my old ways and speaking in crude language again. Reasons for this would be due to not spending quality time with God, and too busy with all my deadline assignments. I need to get back on track through this journey.

I am still having lessons and my test is up next! I need to score for this module, after getting a grade B for one of the modules I've took. Just give me an A. That's all I ask for...
