im on 2 days mc! but guess wad, im still going to sch! need to sign my pc loan, tut 111 and project discussion after that. blah. and on fri. got bmw tutorial which i dun wan to miss coz apparently, we've a writing assignment to do this week. so, im effectively not utilising my 2 days mc.. haha.


oh ya, i feel bad for not turning up for badminton training today. actually i feel like playing badminton and i already brought all my stuff to sch le.. but den again, i dun think i was in a fit enough condition to play. hopefully i'll recover before sports ball so that i can truly enjoy myself without having to take medicine halfway! that would be such a spoiler. imagine me taking medicine with alchohol. NONONONONONO. hahahaha. now i officially haf an excuse to excuse myself from all the drinking games.

yay congratulations! i got my wish. im officially sick. i haf a runaway nose n i haf a sorethroat that has decided to stay. :( prob visiting the sch medical centre tml...


finally i got my photos from trip to taipei. will upload soon! when im less busy and all. the stress of uni life has just begun for me. for some of the rest, maybe it has started long ago coz they haf tutorial assignments to do.. whereas for my course.. it's alot of presentations + research papers + projects. it's a different kinda stress. i haf deadlines to meet. and they all happen to be quite near one another. and readings! oh gosh. the endless amount of readings i haf to do.. stuff that i will be quizzed on.


".... zero the hard-drive 7 times for a computer that's to be decomputerized. at the last time the utility is run, set it to write random values. there's a checkbox beside 'reformat' button that allows users to zero hard-drive...." what is this man?! i dunno wad i copied in my notes lah. haha.. im like totally lost in the 108 module. slow down, shawn, slow down!!

went for the very first badminton training in ntu! not really training. it's more of like a sparring session.. i got cheated. i didnt noe it was trials day. although the standard's not very very high.. but most of the pple are quite good or at least not bad lah. so it's not easy to make it to e ivp team. anyway hor. they are like only announcing who's making it to the training team next week. and training team not equals to ivp team. zzz. anyway i was pretty off in the beginning. haven touched my racket for say near to 3 months? but luckily i kinda got the 'feel' back towards e end of the day. i think i'll need some more time to get back to my normal form..


oh ya!! their trainings end at 11pm?! uh huhh uh huh. and im like the only non-hall stayer among the freshies. so i haf to take a lonely bus trip home!! anyone wan to shou liu me on monday nites? hahaha.


im high! playing badminton makes me happy. :) :) :)

blogging has become a weekly issue. so instead of Newsweek. mine's Blogweek.


tutorials have already started.. as usual, i kept my mouth shut. im not really the sort that will actively participate in discussions unless im forced to. but i guess, i'll need to learn to speak up. give me some time! :)


sch's beginning to wear me out. it's only like two weeks of sch and im falling sick! actually, i think it's due to all the camps i attended.. den not enough rest. plus nv drink enough water and i cant seem to stop talking.. so sorethroats are on and off.. damn irritating. i wan to fall sick! i mean, fall sick enough to go see a doc. because sorethroats are not enough a reason for me to go see doc coz im too lazy! haha.


oh ya. i went for sports bash at MOS on thursday nite. hmm. as usual, first time there. pageant preview. nothing exciting.. as usual, i hold my stand that i dun enjoy clubbing. they shld really ban smoking inside clubs.. it's a huge turn-off for me. and one more thing! i realised that i can hold my liquor better than i think! i was still rather sober after 2 shots.. was sabo-ed during some drinking game. just food for thought: why is drinking so encouraged in uni?


i hope to abide by my resolution though..that is to nv get drunk in public. i think i'll find out whether i can abide by it by 2nd september.. sports ball! i heard they force pple to drink (as usual). it's peer pressure la!

week 1's over! honeymoon's over. tutorials' going to start! sigh. the harsh reality of life.


every sat i go out from morning to late. i think my mom's gonna nag at me soon. as usual, i started my sat morning with tuition. den i had to meet xiaomin at orchard for shopping. as she already had lunch already. i had to grab lunch on the go. which turns out to be a bread from breadtalk. so i was kinda starving by the time i meet timon for fireworks. everywhere was really crowded.. even macs! the queue was like.. WOW. so we settled for this place called bistro 21 at millenia walk.. it's kinda like a pub with dim lightings and all. there werent many pple so we tot.. at last, some place that we dun haf to wait so long... but guess wad?! dinner came 30 mins after we placed our orders and my dinner, black pepper chicken pasta, was served in a cocktail cup! imagine the size! so by the time we're all ready and set to go grab a place to view fireworks.. it was 8.30pm already! we decided against going to esplanade since i dun even think we can get near to the place.. we found a patch of grass, outside the oriental hotel and sat down. to our surprise.. the fireworks was displayed right in front of us! lucky lucky. we had a pretty good view except that there were 2 trees blocking. i had the impulse to chop that 2 trees down lah. hahaha.. but other than that.. everything else turned out quite well..


initial plans for supper was to be at beach road.. but it turned out that none of us really knew e way there.. so we went shopping at carrefour! bread + fruitree fresh juices + sushi + ice cream from ben and jerry's! den it was "star-gazing" at suntec skygarden till 11.20pm! i nearly missed the last train.. but thank god i didnt. imagine the cab fare! haha.. well. it's another well spent saturday with new and old frens. hopefully there's more of such saturdays to come! :)

Frisbee/Lakehouse/Fireworks.


national day's been well spent this yr! it was meeting up with team s73 in the morning for some frisbee action! 7 pple. 4 guys 3 girls. 3 girls in ntu. so it was more of a welcoming session for our dear classmates who are serving ns to uni life... xiaomin's running for hall 1 queen! how cool is that.. haha. life's just begun in ntu..n it's mostly happy memories for now.


watched the lakehouse before meeting disney for imaginary fireworks. why imaginary? coz we didnt get to see any! i felt quite cheated. haha.


sizzling rock? ktv pub?! uh huh. eye opener. coffee-beaned with sharon, nigel and new-found fren john.

university life has officially started! i started it with quite a bang. made a grand entrance into the cs lecture theatre.. coz im late! can u believe it? late on first day of sch. haha. all reina's fault k.. we so many pple waiting for her. den all of us late with her. ahaha. lucky prof nv say anything. but we had to sit first row. den i had to pay like 100% attention although i foresee i will not like the module very much. journalism and publishing. zzz.


but something that i look forward to this sem is cs108! the module on information technology on media! we get to do hands on stuff! like shoot our very own video. hahaa. cools. sounds like fun but i think it'll be alot of hard work.


as for ccas. i think i'll stick to badminton. something i think giving up at this pt of time will be a great pity. however, i must go see for myself the standards of ntu first. if im too far off from them, i may run for sports club. but den again. i cant see myself without badminton! who wanna join badminton with meeeeee????

rapture 2006


can someone pls agree with me that last yr's rapture was better although the teachers' item this yr is by far the best i've seen.. this yr's rapture's theme is like more ethnic.. like switching channels between channel 8 to channel 5 to suria to vasantham central. GOSH. i shldnt be mean though. there's plus points of this yr's concert as well. firstly i think the venue's good! secondly, i like the retro dance.. quite cute and funky. the alumni was good too! although i dun really like the first item by them called "batteries not included".


cant believe sch's starting in 2 days time!!!!!

went clubbing at zouk yday. only my 2nd time clubbing, the 1st being post prom. zouk mambo nite. retro songs. ok. e music can be better. the crowd can be lesser. the guys can drink lesser too. it's scary to see so many pple drunk and some really high on alcohol.


what a night.

Sports Unlimited 13!


im like finally back from sports camp! 7 days just zoom past like this.. and i really made alot of good frens in this camp. alot of memorable things happened in this camp. and im kinda glad that i didnt pull out from this camp. all the lack of sleep. all the fatigue and all the injuries. it's all worth it!


noting down the highlights of the camp. coz there's simply too many events that took place..


Day 1: opening ceremony. great wall of china. scatches. violent disney girls. determined disney guys. victory is sweet.


Day 2: FE1. got stepped on the fingers. pool games. disney won the world games at pool again. old changi hospital fright nite. FREAKY. coz it was the first day of the lunar seventh month.. and och rite.. that kind of darkness is like.. u cant see anything one. basically there's no difference between me opening my eyes or not. thank goodness got qiyou who like really shielded me from alot of "things". hahaha.


Day 3: bukit timah nature reserve hiking and cycling.. super tiring..but we managed to finish the whole course.. came back. got sabo-ed during some game. and had to do a stupid forfeit and i was named "la-ji" princess after that. DOTS... night games was lame. chasing after monsters to learn spells. hahaa..


Day 4: sea sports day. sea expedition.. kayaked to pulau ubin to eat coconuts! tried several diff sea events. jet-skiing. wind surfing. sailing. overnight cycling. cycled from east coast all the way back to ntu... from 11.30pm to 5am. HOSEH. knees greatly weakened that nite.. had less than 1.5 hours of sleep that day.


Day 5: tried different type of sports that is not very common in singapore. and i realised that i cannot do archery. my aiming is wayYyyy off. hahaha.. afternoon to nite. amazing race. highly competitive.. running from area to area. super tiring. pitched tent. awaken by the chilliness.. was shivering at arnd 5am in the morning..


Day 6: continuation of amazing race.. cable-skiied. fun! dragon boat. bowled. my group bowled an amazingly low score of 28 in 10 frames. hahahahah.. caught in the rain. -shivers- rushed back to ntu and came in 7th place for the entire race! starry starry nite. was brought to changi chalet area where we had dinner with our secret pal. i was changjin. and he was min zhenghao. LOL. den it was partying with the music till my knees hurt.


Day 7: the grand finale! for once, i felt weak and vulnerable. it's this sort of feeling that i really detest. i had to be the one pulling everyone else down.. being someone's burden. i had to be carried by alot of guys along the way...coz i was like dying. eventually, i broke down in tears. knees oso gave way in the process.. limped all the way home that day.


SU 13 has been a really really great experience for me. this is by far, the best camp i've ever attended.. thumbs up for SU 13! for disney. for timonians. :)
