7 days since my last post ... one wk break is over

wat a break ... wanted to do some studying ... do some tutorials

but I nvr get to do my tutorials ... it's a habit ... an old one n
Of cuz old habit die hard

nonetheless ... i started to read my literature book ... a novel by
the equalli interesting name - Moonstone

A thick book, a great book, an interesting book, an almost flawless
book in short a MASSIVE book

2 yrs ago I read "Moonlight of the Avenue of Faith" by Gina Nahai
an author with a lyrical style ... nothing can beat that

recommend the book to rongzhang ... asked him to tell his galfrenz
abt it and he juz comment tt i seemed to read anything with the word
"Moon" in the title

It's juz coincidence, a plain accident

anywae EN1101E is starting to b a great module, a great module, my
dream module, the module I wanted to take after 3 years

in the final yr of my NUS ... I finally took my dream module, it has
to turn up well ... of cuz, I'm Not Surprised I'm enjoying myself

met great pple, great poems

Poems - there really more to it; was stunned the first time, by the
myriad underlying meaning

essay on EN1101E wasn't ez ... but have got frenz to help me, I won't
survive without the help

anyway I have adapted back to NUS life again ... finally ... the lethargy
is wearing off ... tkfully

I thot the afternoon nap was realli good... revitalise me ... I have nvr
felt so fresh b4

Saturday ... went temple with mom ... sth "interesting happened" ... met
with Xianneng who juz returned from US ... seemed even more happy
den before with a glow in his face

after tt watched a Turkish film "Turkish bath", v interesting ... n Andrew
was there ... realli din see him for a long time ... doesn't matter realli
BECUZ i din noe him too well anyway

sunday ... as usual tuition in the morning ... the first lesson those mischievious
students realli overwhelmed me ... but I stayed on

Cuz i nvr wan to back down from a CHALLENGE

I liked CHALLENGE becuz it made me feel so alive ... it wears me down,
but I can oni feel myself in the face of challenge

without Challenge ... I rot ... close frenzs knew I'm competitive, and don like to
lose ... i juz need to ask "Do you think I am a competitive person" to realli know
how well my frenzs know me

it dawns on me tt I have alreadi have mabbe ard 10 or more lessons in the
tuition class ... i no longer frustrated by den

met up with Ch, Sy + Ivy on Sunday ... went to Ivy's GNC outlet ... ends up in
Mac ... n Ch was a bit pissed tt I was reading Moonstone while at Mac ..., haiz
I juz caught the virus ... the "Moonstone virus" , wat can I do rite

anyway finally returned the warm clothings to the lender ... on Sunday nite...
Mom has been nagging me non-stop ... i have to surrender anyway ... so
at least tt one thing settled

Monday ... nothing much ... except tt Vivien called me
asked me whether I cld be able to take care of a kitten for one mth...
i think she was realli pissed with the frenz who left the kitten in the void deck

a stupid riddle to end it all: "What do you call a blind deer?"

finally ... the one week break or rather 4 day break ... nt a BIG deal but it realli helps ... i still have 9 more mths to graduation ... tink will realli miss sch when I graduate after all studying is more fun den working ... tt no doubt abt it ... nt a single doubt

Sep 16 ... my hectic wk 1 is gg to end ... with the CA on Sat ... it's an massive CA ... becuz like I told my frenzs ... it's a promise to do well tt I have to keep ... I try to keep my promise , it's impt for me but sometime one can be frustrated becuz one can't fufil one promise ... maybe sometime i simplified too much

tdy I received a gift frm Rongchang, Sy, CH & Bh for my bdae ...a nice, lovely watch which I liked it a lot, this week was a "good harvest " for me , Rachel + Zhihao gave me a Wenger poster which I hanged it in my room, I liked Wenger so much so I was juz telling Zh tt day to help me find one so that I can buy it, I never thot he could find it and I was more surprised when he gave me for the bdae present ... tks for the surprises pals ... stella bought me biscuits pluz a nice card with a LONG msg which reminds me of the day back during our exchange when we went touring ard Europe together, thinking about it brought back fun n wonderful moments, it was like magic ...

i was realli happi today ... n my frenzs all noe tt becuz LBC wasn't teaching anymore ... he a nice lecturer all rite ... n he has great enthusiasm but I'm honest in tt I find him irritating and realli it spoils my day thinking tt I will have to go to his lecture ... so I was happy becuz he nt teaching todae ... enjoyed literature lecture tdy ... zhihao wasn't here tdy so I sat with ZZ n her frenz who was oso my tutorial mate ... i liked literature a lot somehow a lot of tings became v natural for me when i took literature, it was ez to understand becuz mabbe I'm a feeling person ... Lit was THE module i wanted to take n even if i have to take 7 modules this semester, i still have no regrets taking it ... honestly 7 modules wouldn't kill me

been happy these days becuz I have my afternoon naps so it gonna b a gud ting

Happy Sep break

It's a Sat ... 2 more days b4 cell bio CA ... it's an impt CA ... LBC has promised tt he gg to be a difficult one ... i don doubt it

LBC is a guy who tink cells, dream cells, love cells ... but I don share the same enthusiasm so I find him irritating

hate attending his lecture... so i was celebrating on the last day of his lecture ... No surprises on the last day of his tutorial ... leo, vivien , roy , eugene n so many others won't b surprised ... they noe I really CAN'T STAND HIM

It's a bz week ... bjorn has arrived ... n i showed him together with his 2 other frenzs ... one of them was Martin

Smart n handsome so all my lady cousins were like 'Wow' ... at first I thought it was difficult showing them ard ... becuz I was like so bz ... n so tired ... n I thot I won't b an inspired host if I'm tired ... but everything went well becuz my family helped me out

My uncle drove us ard ... went sim lim ... den back home to let them sample Chinese cuisin ...Bjorn wished to try using chopsticks ... n both of them were perfect in using them ... my family was impressed ... Dinner was really long ... cuz there were too much food ... mumsie cooked v nice food much beta den the stuff I cooked in Sweden ... No Major Surprise ... I'm juz a short cut guy who juz began to learn how to cook ... but my mum realli cooked well becuz she got me who alwae liked to point out that her dish still to improve ... well i'm a difficult man ... went karaoke after tt... it was pure fun ... really tonnes of fun ... Bjorn + Martin sung well ... n our whole family had lotsa fun ... so the 3 hrs passed by pretty fast ... it's pretty ex ... CH told me shldn't hav go K BOX ... well haiz ... life is alwae abt the 'If Oni' ... todae they have a great time shopping abt at Queensway ...

alvin leaving for UK todae ... 'bumped' into him at the Airport while sending Bjorn off ... i was saddened while sending all of them away ... it always v sad to say goodbye, when u tink of all the gd times u have together ... n it a strange feeling tt u hav to greet farewell to each other ... I was really sad when I left for Sweden in January ... i was looking forward to it but I wasn't readi to let go of certain ting

nxt week would b a MASSIVE week ... there will be 2 CAs + 1 presentation ... i will b happy if I do well for my CA ... it's a promise tt I wan to deliver

2dae my bdae ... Sep 7 ... it's a strange bdae for me, v v strange ... lotsa of pple called/msg to wish me bdae =)

"What u doing today, for ur bdae"

Nothing, Really ... Having test, analysing poem
It's so strange ... i was rather stress while taking the test , I used to be relax ... but now it's different ... in the past , I really don care, but now I can't afford not to do well because of a Promise

Don ask wat the promise, i told my frenz because I can't tell right now

Taking literature ... analyzing poem was a dream ... realli ... except that even if u lived ur dream, sometime it nt as ez as u thot ... but I think I feel the magic ... and I'm realli lucky becuz I have got Steven to help me

Steven realli a nice guy ... n it great to find someone to discuss literature with ... a fascinating guy ... n after his "lecture" i tink I can master Blake's poem

I see the Magic, feel the Magic

On a day where my frenzs wished me happy 24 years on Earth ... tis it

Simple n Sweet

Goodnite

finally wkend arrived ... I LOVE SATURDAY ... it's the only day when i can realli relaxed for tis wk

wat a hectic wk it has been ... I juz feel like doing nothing ... lazing ard has got to me for the bez ting, but too bad ... CA & project deadline coming ... gosh donno what to do

Michael has now reached Hongkong ... he was basically "burnt" his skin was BLACK, oh my god ... he has been helping up in the Olympics ... finally after 9 mths he returning back to Singapore ... man , he really has gd spirits and lotsa energy ... he was still energetic yst when I showed him ard ... originally I got some great plans ... but my lecturer suddenly mentioned we have a test on Friday, so I can't skip his lecture, skip 2 lectures yst ... which I guess shldn't b a prob ... I can juz do the reading myself ... wanted to bring him to Chinatown, Little India but really times wasn't on my time, after some really nice lunch ... bring him to NUS and let Siffanie showing ard ... bump into Karen and Mayyin soon after and after my lesson .... bring him to Feng Seng to have prata n dinosaur ... den he gonna catch his plane ... was quite sad seeing him go though juz like when I was about to leave Sweden ... still occasionally abt my room in Sweden as well as my Swedish buddy, Patrick ... but tings there alwae the future to look forward to

met up with vivien, leo n roy on thursday ... roy got his job finally though he don like it, it's a sales job n he don like it, said he not good at talking which I find it funny but aniwae hope he grows to like the job ... vivien still working at clinic assistant , still laughs when I thought of her as the clinic assistant, she can be fierce at time but I don tink she will do tt to her patient, told her I will visit her clinic n disguise as a difficult patient one day ... haha ... leo is surprisingly working in the same company as Dick ... both "reports" my activities to each other, I have to be careful in front of leo and Dick

"U wanna work as a volunteer in the winter Olympics game" Michael asked me yst ... I think I dare not commit anymore... made too much commitment in the past ... but I don see it happening ... no $$$, and $$$ is impt though not the most impt tings in the world ... it is a tool ... but I guess my dream is to watch the World Cup in Germany 2006, Patrick can get me ticket since he will b going or I wished to b at Ashburton Grove, it shd be the "MUSTGO" place in Northern London ... but all these are DREAMS, DREAMS n DREAMS, but sometimes we need dreams to keep us going

Sep finally arrived ... three quarters of the years has passed ... how time flies ... it has been a odd year ... things happened so fast, i'm lost for words ...but this has been a great year for Arsenal ... BEST team in the English Premiership ... unbeaten all season ... BEST youngsters coming through ... BEST manager in the whole wide world ... BEST board of director n with the soon to be completed Ashburton Grove ... Arsenal will be a world class team with a WORLD CLASS STADIUM ... I would love to be there

From Aug 22 till now seriously can't really recall what I have been doing ... I only know that I'm really tired at times ... last Sunday have gym with Sy + Cheehong den went out with Dick ... told me he wanted to get jeans/ handphone n stuff ... ended getting a good pair of pants ... have dinner at IKEA, I admired the sweden system and efficiency, they are the people who get things done ... NICE pple they are perhaps tt why the lecturers got 'bullied' by me =), anyway went Orchard after tt , dick wanted to do some shopping ... I was juz happy doing window shopping after all I have alreadi spent 13K in Sweden, don hav much $$$ left in the coffers, so it was a wise thing to save, which sounds funni anyway becuz i don have $$$ to spend in the first place ... went toying ard with fone, testing up fone ... but I'm with my Blue-I though it has lotsa of 'sickness' ... it's the only phone I liked back then n still is, something never changed ... I supposed ... it is a warm night, hardly any wind ... that the prob in Singapore, in Sweden the wind is too strong ... I enjoyed cycling in Sweden ... seriously speaking I missed Sweden, I really missed it so much, there was a degree of freedom which I did not enjoy here ... but me and Dick walked the whose passage down from Orchard to Dhoby Ghaut ... talked about some stuff n I caught the train back home ... too late

my hongkong frenz is coming tis friday ... Bjorn is coming next friday ... asked me to bring him to 'cheong' which is always a tough thing cuz though we 'cheong' together in Sweden, I don't do it here ... mum don't like it n it's really troublesome trying to hide the fact from mom that I went disco ... everytime I do it, I have to go home and secretly washed away the smell from my clothes ... anyway I will see about it, things usually get settled if you don't think too deeply about it.

so much to write, so little time so gonna go off =), bye
