oh my i jus realised that it has been 5days since i last did a blog post. well exams are over, life will be STRESSLESS for 2months, and it's beginning to get bored with jus 4days of holidays underway. went down for an interview on saturday morning. it's a sales assistant job for selling computer products. it's quite easy actually coz the company is not selling any desktops or printers, they r jus selling noob things like cd-r, cd-rw, dvd-r, dvd-rw, usb ports, disk covers, optical mouses. so if u happen to drop by
ok now i have a super huge complaint to make. i'm trying to keep my cool by not typing any vulgarities, but i easily could have. ok here's the thing.... i have a chalet this coming friday in tanah merah. i've nv been to a tanah merah chalet b4 jus tt i heard its a super huge bungalow and it is under the civil defence or duno wat i can't really remember, but its something like tt la. it costs $360 for 3d2n so my fren and his elder bro shared. means he will take the 1st nite and his bro will take the 2nd nite. so its $180 per person. we were all invited and we calculated the cost.. so each person will pay about $20. jus when we thot everything was going well, these few fricking stupid rules came abt. the rules are:
1) at least 1 adult above the age of 21 muz be in the chalet at all times
(this is still fine coz i understand their safety concerns)
2) those who r not staying, will have to leave the premises by 11pm.
(now this is a stupid rule tt got us all pissed... but there's always a worse rule, which is number 3)
3) at any point of time, only a maximum of 8 ppl are allowed inside the chalet, and this includes those staying.
(ugh... this is the climax! means only 8 ppl can stay.)
we tried to cancel it but it's impossible. we didn't know abt the rules from the start. yeah u can argue and say tt we should have checked out the rules before booking. ya we could, but who would have thot that a chalet will have such dumb rules? all of us could easily have blamed the person who booked it... but we didn't coz it is no use quarrelling over it, wats done cant be undone anyway. so all we can do now is to carry on with the chalet. i mean the management is brainless. its a bungalow for goodness sake... a bungalow with a kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a living room and its 2 levels. and u only allow 8 ppl inside such a big compound. where's ur intelligence? in the first place we booked a big chalet so tt we can call more ppl and have more space to move about. if we had known, we would have booked from downtown east, although 1 room, but its much cheaper and most importantly, it doesn't have senseless rules. we r gona heck care, we all paid $20, if we r asked to leave in the middle of the nite, we will take action against the management. trust me, once i find out the name of the dumbf**k chalet, i will spread the word and discourage any1 who wans to go there. seriously pissed.
on a lighter note, these few days i have been doing nothing but playing computer games. played dota and metal slug (shing's bro brought the craze back). and believe it or not, i have been squeezing out blackheads on my nose with a blackhead-squeezing-device. pain but good to know tt most of them r gone. fri's the chalet... so for tmr and thurs i will be so bored. but thank god tmr i'm gona meet derrick and gang for more dota in the morning. and in the afternoon, granny stef is bringing sarah eugene and me shopping at marina sq. she is going to the market in the morning and will only bring us there in the afternoon. always good to be under the supervision of eldery people sometimes, kinda makes me feel more matured. hoho. shall blog again abt the dumbf**k chalet. seeya!

its officially over! rejoice. for the past few days i've been mugging like hell. ok maybe not like hell coz as usual, i had my bad habit. i delayed studying. like for accounts, i told myself on wed morning at 9am, i will start studying accounts at 10am. but 4pm i was still surfing the net and chatting in msn. and when i started, i realised that accounts lecture 10 was missing. i searched high and low and tried to recall where did i put it.. in the end it was with shing. -_-" so i faster called her and she was kind enuf to come to simei to pass it to me. and she also realised tt she owes shijia accounts notes too, so after coming to simei she had to go bedok to pass to shijia. haha and in the end.... NOTHING came out on lecture 10 for the exams. if i know i heck care about my notes already. whoa studying accounts was damn dreadful... it was as if my life was in danger or sth, coz as i said in my previous entry, it's my most feared subject coz nobody knows wat to expect from the paper. haha as usual everything in my statements all didn't balance up but who cares i jus wanted to get over and done with it and get on with mugging OB.
ok the funi thing abt the accounts exam was this. haha coz tp's exam regulations were tt students were allowed to hand in their papers and leave even before time's up if they have finished, but 10mins b4 the ending time, no one is allowed to leave anymore. my accounts paper was from 0930 to 1130 in the sports hall of 1000 over ppl. so i finished my paper at abt 1110 and i checked and double checked and time passed so fast tt it was 1118 already. if its 1120 then no one was allowed to leave anymore. so i faster raised my hand to signal to my invigilator to collect my paper so i can leave, but she was busy flirting with a male invigilator in front and she paid no attention to me. hmph! then it was 1119... and i was super desperate to leave. and then she saw my hand finally! whoa heng ah. then as she was walking towards me, two kuku candidares in front of me raised their hands as well... so since she was coming from the front, and it was only natural tt she attended to them collected from them first. and when she was collecting from them, i saw the clock turning 1120! so i shouted: 'SHEET!' then one of the sports hall invigilators announced tt no one was allowed to leave anymore. but luckily she came to me anyway coz she realised i put up my hand much earlier. but as she was collecting, she told me tt i haven written my tutorial class. whoa then i faster chiong and write... jus then... there was another announcement: 'INVIGILATORS, PLS STOP COLLECTING PAPERS FROM THE CANDIDATES.' haha then she turned and looked at me... then i also didn't know wat to do. so i jus put my paper in her hand and i told her BYEBYE! she smiled and let me go. nice kind lady... god bless u.
went to shing's house to mug OB. i thot with her around, she wun let me delay time to start studying. who knows in the end both of us delayed our starting time to study. and she more pro... as we were studying, she told me she wanted to go toilet. so i studied for like 45mins and then i realised tt she hasn't come out of the toilet yet. (quite lag ah but i really didn't realise). i wanted to check out where is she but i couldn't coz she went to her mum's masterbed room's toilet. so i can't possibly go in. i got her bro to check out for me and i casually asked him: ' haha wat ur sister doing inside, sleeping ah?' and he turned to me and nodded his head. and i was like: 'WHAT???!!! WAKE HER UP! SHE HAS TO STUDY!' haha well the mugging was ok, and we took a break now and then to play UNO. then her cute little bro came home. he was so cute la, jus wan to pinch his face. played METAL SLUG with him and he was so so so cute. haha metal slug brings back pri sch memories for me. jus nice her bro is now in pri sch hoho.
OB was still alright as a whole. the paper was from 1900-2100hrs. it was my last paper and my only objective was to finish the paper by 2050 and leave the exam hall and celebrate. coz whenever we waited till 2100, we will only get to leave the hall at 2130. 30mins is required for the invigilators to count the papers and double check tt every1 is accounted for. and usually their counts dun tally. and sometimes some stupid cockhead can write their tutorial class or admin number wrongly. they're better off dead. and out of 1000+ ppl, it only takes 1 cockhead to make a silly mistake, and the rest of the population got to sit and wait while the error is clarified and remedied. managed to leave the hall at 2045. haha another funi incident happened between me and the invigilators. they're jus so cute. remember i said tt my accounts exam i was sitting behind and the invigilator was in front? now for ob, i sat in front, but the invigilator go behind. like wat the hell they always seem to be far away from me. so i tried to look behind for him... then i looked and looked and looked. and the other invigilator from another section whispered very loud to me: RAISE UR HAND! RAISE UR HAND! then i was like... okok. so i raised my hand for abt 2mins and my invigilator didn't come to me. so i put it down and began to look behind for him again. then the other invigilator said again: RAISE UR HAND! RAISE UR HAND! then i said OKOKOKOKOK! whoa finally tt lao ah pek saw my hand. he apologised coz he was behind. haha but i said nvm since i was in a good mood. last paper already wat... wat to expect.
heng i came out earlier ah. the rest only managed to come out at 2120hrs. but i still had to wait for them haha coz we were supposed to go eat dinner. but i'd rather stand and wait outside FOR them and feel relieved than sit and wait inside WITH them. haha as usual, the ppl who said they wanted to go eat went home. in the end only left stef, sarah, din, eugene, melvin and me. so we cabbed down to simpang bedok to eat prata. chatted and laughed alot.
1B20, this is it, the end of our time together. it was a joy and pleasure to be part of this class. all our live's firsts will have fond memories kept. and u guys r my first class in poly! so hahaha. lets look forward to next sem, though diff classes, we'll still see each other in business sch. jus wana say a big thank u to every1. and to my grp members, u guys were awesome and i wish u all the very best in ur upcoming poly years. hoho.

yeah had a change in blogskin. not really a change in the skin but rather more on a change in the pictures of the skin. yeah it is more organised and proportionate compared to the previous shitty one. the pics on the left are not too clear though, coz i had to resize them to abt 10% of their original size before they can fit into the whole picture eventually. nothing much to update about, the only thing is that the exams are taking its toll on me, but thankfully it ends tmr! but it doesn't help when they put accounts and organisational behaviour together.
first day we had business stats. the paper was rather ok, except that my first question i put the X and Y tombalek/toupeng/upside down. and its not worth much, its only 20marks =( and its like 1/5 of the whole paper la! sheet! but nvm, to make myself happy, i kept telling myself that they will have ERROR CARRIED FORWARD MARKS. the rest of the paper was still alright. hope the 20marks wun cause me to get a B+, or even a B. I need to maintain tt stupid A!
yesterday we had two papers. and the first one was a super duper alien paper, MBS. i'm sure most of u have already listened to my nagging of how boring and senselss mbs is. it didn't help that on monday my stats paper finished at 430pm. by the time i reach home and bathed, i started mbs at 6pm. and i studied 7 out of the 10chapters till 11pm and i jus fell asleep naturally. i dozed off with the lights on and my notes on the floor. the content is THAT boring. imagine going thru 10 lectures on nothing but computer stuff that do not make any sense to u but u are forced to study. and it's not like econs and ob whereby u can use logic to derive at a few definitions or key points, this one is purely remembering the content. expectedly when i first saw the paper during the reading time, i was already demoralised. it was like i didn't know 50% of the questions being asked inside, even though i read thru the whole notes twice. i hope it doesn't pull my marks down until so jialat. hope to at least get a B.
econs was a blast! i spent the whole break time from 1130-7pm studying in the tp library, but of coz i went to eat lunch first. and the paper was like WHOHOO! shiok boy! i hope to get an A, but of coz it's nv too good to be too confident.
2 more papers, accounts and ob. MBS is my most hated subject, but accounts is my most feared subject, coz IN THE HISTORY OF MY ACCOUNTS SINCE SEM 1, I NV NV NV HAD A CORRECT FINAL ANS B4. dun ask me y, i also duno. so tmr after ur accounts paper, come check with me ur final ans. if urs is diff from mine, rejoice! urs is correct! and after accounts paper, have to start studying OB. after 2100hrs tmr, hell will break loose.
off to mug, cya!

happy valentines' day to all. if u r a guy and went out today with a girl and u spent a bomb buying a rose (which at the back of ur head u know it will die 2 days later), i'm sure u will learn a valuable lesson. next time buy earlier. to those of u who did not have dates, dun worry, u r not on a losing end at all. look on the bright side, u can congratulate urself on how much money you're saving on chocolates (calories on the hip) and expensive dinners (overpriced food). yeah. today wasn't much of a diff for me, stayed home all day and studied mbs, and until now i can't seem the get those computer chimology stuff inside my head. i almost went mad studying it, untahanable feeling.
anyway went to the airport yesterday with shing at 11am. ok we were supposed to meet at 11am at t2's pacific coffee company. but i started reading magazines at home and i can't believe that i was so engrossed in the content that when i looked at the time, it was 1045 already! whoa, u know the back pages of teenage and teens there will always be a column where confused teenagers will write to a doctor/auntie kelly to ask some sensitive issues? yep i was reading those. some of them really damn dirty man, such an insult to my purity AHEM! haha yeah so i was running late, but i tried to stay calm, and i called shing... and she was still sleeping -_-" haha so we met at 12 in the end.
nic and meijun came after their sch ended and we mugged. ok 3 of us mugged, nic was busy writing 'happy valentines' day' on green apples which he bought at cold storage. he's gona give them to his bandmates and orientation group ppl today. half the time we were also trying to shut nic up. haha. after that went to eat dinner at tm. shing's fren, ian, joined us for dinner too. and during dinner meijun told me an amazing fact. one of my ex lyss schoolmate and fellow ncc cadet for 4 yrs of my sec sch life, kissed his girlfriend for 45mins. NON STOP. 45mins! i was like.. WHAT??!! tts equal to half-time of a full soccer match. i mean they have enuf saliva to last that long??!! and it's not very nice for 45mins, u breathe in wat ur partner breathed out a moment ago, coz ur noses are only abt 1cm apart. and i actually read in a magazine that by jus kissing for 1min, u can burn 6.4 calories. multiply that by 45mins! and u get 288! powerful!
before i end, i would like to say that for 17 years of my life (coming close to 18), nobody ever told me that i look like some1 else. but tis yr, this yr jus had to be diff. 3 ppl told me that i looked like some1 else, and its not like 3 of the said the same person. they all told me that i look like 3 diff people!
first it was my cousin, he asked if i joined SUPERBANDS. like why the hell would i join superbands. he said that i really looked like contestant in superbands. then i could only say: 'OH, IT WASN'T ME, I NV JOIN SUPERBANDS.' haha i dun have his pic also to compare with.
ok now for the 2nd person.... look at this guy here.
most of u will know him, some of u wun. he is pastor kong hee of city harvest church. u look at his pic, and at the same time try to recall my sickening face. now which part of us look alike? the ans... WE DON'T LOOK ALIKE AT ALL. so sherry tan sijia, pls spare me this time. and pastor kong, if u are angry that i put ur pic on my blog, i apologise. i didn't insult u one bit, so pls dun sue me. it's jus for certain analytical reasons.
now here's the climax. the 3rd and last person....
singapore born and made famous in taiwan, stefanie sun. kaiwei's sister keep telling me that, when i smile, i look like her. i wan to peng already. does she mean that i have a feminine smile?! till my next blog entry, i'll leave u guys to think about it.
Sunday, February 12, 2006
hoho i'm back to blog again. this will be a much lighter entry in comparison to the previous few entries. i sincerely apologise for those entries, but a blog is supposed to be a place for me to write down my thots, feelings and show my mood. so i take back my sorry (-_-").
General Issues
these few days, i keep getting mosquito bites. there are like 5 on my arms and another 5 on my legs. i talked to gabriel, he had 10 on his arms and 4 on his legs. mosquito mania is back! u know ah last time i used to be very good at hitting them. all u have to do is to sacrifice once and let them bite u one time. when they biting tt time, u jus give a quick and hard whack and they die already. coz if they haven bite yet they can fly away easily, but in the midst of biting u, their reaction time is slower coz most of their attention is being diverted to sucking ur blood. then there was a period of time when there wasn't any mosquitoes at all. so shiok, but they r back with a vengeance! and now they r faster! now when i kana bitten, i can't even feel it and i cant even see the damn mosquito. last time i always see them, although i cant hit them. but at least i can still see that there are mosquitoes around. but now ah, cant even see. i was crapping with gabriel, that bcoz there was a period of time when there were no mosquitoes, they might have taken a break from biting and went for secret training to improve their speed and efficiency of sucking blood. it's a sick thot. i'm their food and i can't do anything to stop them from drinking me. yucks it sounds so sick.
Friday
ok enuf about mosquitoes. fri was the last day 1b20 had together as a class. but to think i didn't realise it until i went home. and suddenly i was like: 'hey! today was our last day as a class!' then i was also thinking... eh y every1 treat it like no big deal liddat... it was as if its a normal day. no goodbyes. is our class, as a whole, really that jialat? whoa or was it that all of us were trying to turn on the cool... hmmm if thats the case then its really very cool. coz after our final econs tutorial we all went toilet as usual and jus left. now that's something to think about. haha
got back my coursework grades, they're still alright and i hope to push myself and get pass the final lap. i dun aim high for the exams, but of coz i will study to the best of my ability. i jus hope i dun drop so low, coz it happened last sem when my exam papers pulled ALL my grades down. ALL! so now i promised myself i wun let it happen again, drop some nvm, but muz also try to maintain the rest. i dun aim for a Z grade too though, too much pressure on myself. i took a major blow last nite, one which i didn't expect. its like u didn't see it coming but somehow it jus stabs u from behind and after a split second u were stunned. nevertheless, i wun let it affect my exams. i muz be strong mentally, as always.
Saturday
went for my dad's colleague's house gathering. i could have gone out with my other frens to orchard, but i sacrificed some time to spend with my family at the gathering. okok fine, it was bcoz of the angbaos. and i started shaking hands with every adult that i could find in the house, and most of them weren't married and i was like DAMN! haha i hope from now onwards u can start picturing my money face. so yeah that ended my saturday.
Sunday has just began, lets hope it ends with a bright note. hoho!
Thursday, February 09, 2006
whew... french speaking test ended say.. 3hrs ago. a super huge relief for me coz its the last test for french. after today i dun even have to touch french anymore. it was a 1-to-1 test. means its like o'lvl eng and chinese oral exams, except that this is in french. we have to converse with our tutors in french and he will assess our performance. french is so alien to me. and my tutor, jerome, didn't make our job easier.
we had something extra that the other classes didn't, we had a VIDEO CAMERA to record our 3min test with him. yep, extra pressure. he said his reason for putting a video cam to record the conversation was bcoz he wan to invite his frens over for christmas, then all of them can eat some snacks while watching our video and laugh at us. we were like: 'U'RE SUCH AN ASS.' haha but in the end he told us that obviously that wasn't the reason. tp wanted him to do it so they can judge our performances and maybe make some necessary changes during the next sem for the next batch of french students. somehow i dun see a link how the video cam will help, but who cares its over anyway.
my surname is tan so i was one of the last few to take the stupid test. while waiting outside we were all talking and i told them that i hope when we get in, the camera willl run out of battery coz it's been running for so long. when i went into the room to prepare for my turn, the camera's battery has really gone flat, so the girl b4 me didn't have her conversation recorded. and the rest of us were so so so happy! next was my turn, and b4 that jerome said: 'whoa gerald, let me double check if it can still record.' and he tried to on the cam.... and bloody hell it turned on. and i was like: 'WHAT THE FOOK!' whoa and it added some last min pressure with me knowing the camera was recording. but overall i think i did ok.
went to tampines interchange to buy screen protector for my hp then i went to take the mrt home to simei. at the platform level of tampines interchange, while waiting for my mrt, i was playing with my hp and then i suddenly looked on the floor, and i saw a POSB debit card. i couldn't find out whose it was coz the station was so packed. so i took it with me and when i alighted at simei, instead of going home i went to the simei neighbourhood police post. the debit card still has 2months b4 it actually expires so if i dun return it, the owner surely gan chiong spider one.
when i reached the NPC, i walked up to the door and there was a security table. so i told the guard that i found a card and wanted him to hand it over to whoever is in charge inside. so he went in, spoke to an indian officier and came out. he handed the card to me and told me that its ok, i can jus break the card into half and throw it away. i was like: 'WTF!' coz i was thinking.... the stupid police officier could have taken it and kept it himself instead of returning it to me. coz the card still got 2months then expire. and its not an atm card, its a debit card, its so unsafe. ppl can jus go online and buy anything they wan by using the card number. fancy him returning it to me and telling me ITS OK, JUS BREAK IT INTO HALF CAN ALREADY. whoa, irresponsible. wat if the owner (WEE QI QUAN) go and report that he/she lost his/her card?
i can't believe it, it was a total waste of my time walking out of the way and under the rain to go to the police post and in the end walking home with nothing done. felt super disgusted with the indian policeman. if i see him again, i'll stuff his arse with prata. its not a racist comment. coz if it was a chinese policeman, i will do the same by stuffing love letters up his arse. and to WEE QI QUAN, whoever u r, if u lost ur card and if u happen to read this, ur card is with me. give me a call @ 98341734 to take it back. i didn't steal it, i found it. and it was the stupid police officier who didn't wana take it. wat a fooker.
hoho but at the end of the day, im jus glad my french speaking test is all over. peace on u. shall update again soon, so long and good nite.
Saturday, February 04, 2006
yeah, finally all the projects and assignments are over! so relieved. however there's still a french speaking test on thurs, and it's no joke preparing for it. imagine the number of words i have to go through to get them inside my head, oh well.
the 3rd day of cny, which was 31st january, went well with me meeting up with the lamers plus huishan. first house we went to was mr koh's, so glad to know that he is getting better. and on that day, i was so sick of YU SEN. if u duno wats YU SEN, its LO HAY, if u still duno, then nvm. but i had to eat it thrice! first at honey's house, then wenjun's house and then shing's house. in the end i ate the crackers only and left the rest for every1 else. i dun really like yu sen, to me it taste's like vomit. i'd rather eat maggi mee. oh ya i won $4 at shing's house while gambling. basically the day was damn fun and funi too.
however while we were at mr koh's house, wenjun received a phone call from allan. we were all happily chatting and laughing with mr koh when wenjun suddenly turned and told us: 'guys, zheguang's dad passed away this morning.' jus imagine, we were all happily laughing and the next moment, we all went quiet, overwhelmed by the state of shock. every1 was like: 'huh?!' it definitely changed all our mood for the day. and i paid a visit to zg yesterday. he was fine, although he cried on the first day. by yesterday he already accepted the fact and is moving on well. his dad passed away during the CNY period, so many many ppl were pantang (superstitious) about visiting the wake. in the end only me weeyang and evan went. sad case.
and with the cny mood still strong, i realised that these few days, i kept gambling. since the start of the new year, i gambled a total of 5 times. wins and losses, its common, and i managed to scrape thru with $19 winnings. it could've been more, but im happy with it. and tonight im going to kaiwei's house to gamble again. i hope the $19 will be my capital for more winnings. yeah i know i sound very money face, but one yr once mah. and if u come up to me and tell me: HEY CHRISTIANS CANNOT GAMBLE. i will say that im catholic and even if im a christian, the 10 commandments didn't say THOU SHALL NOT GAMBLE. so screw you and ur stupid self-made theories.
to end off, i hope god grants strength to zheguang and his family and let it not affect his studies as the main exams are jus 2 weeks away. there u go, my CNY with both ups and downs, but this yr's cny was a very bad one. i also duno y. ang bao business was bad too. ok i gtg bye.

it has nv changed.
say anything, just tell me all your sweet lies.
everytime you give me some form of hope,
eventually it's thrown back at me in my face.
did u give me all that jus to tell me it was a joke.
it seems that everything else is stopping us,
pure unconsciousness on my part.
is this wat destiny is?
when it seemed so close,
it gets far away again.
i need some form of realisation,
some form of acceptance,
that i'm falling back again,
back from where i tried so hard to build up.
little did u know that ur last min surprises,
always had me ended up in pain.
a fraction of me has always been with u,
but i jus seen it being given back.
external causes, i'm sick of them,
for i know they always take place.
but for the only time so important,
it has to happen again.
i'm tired.
