last day of work liao le. im posting this while counting down the time to 7pm. which will be the time im leaving Five Stars Tour for the second time in 6 months. lol. kinda happy cos i dun have to work anymore, which means more time for myself, play and maybe time to go back TP (i miss TP alot sia). feeling sad too, jus like after attachment. really like the work here; checking airline availability, quoting prices and all the different kinds of customer that i meet. the colleagues too, the lack of politics and how they make my everyday so fun and laughable.

trying to recap on wad i have done here. total sales from 15th may till now is $13,481. im pretty proud of myself sia. considering the fact that i haven been working really hard to garner the sales. of the 1 and a half months here, alot of interesting things happened here. the one that stuck most in my mind is when i served a couple who wanted to go on holiday. they gave me one whole stack of ititneraries and told me to write down the pricing for them. the reason they gave a stack of itineraries to me was because they were mute and deaf. thus they wouldnt have been able to hear wad i said nor could i understand what they were trying to convey to me. after serving them, i was very inspired cos despite their disability, they tried their best to make their lives as normal as possible. they were not disheartened by their disability, and they were able to cast aside wadever strange looks or comments pple give and jus lead the life that they wan. totally inspired by their spirit sia. =)!!! reminded me of that time when i went for the hand sign thing in school. that was uber cool sia. learned to sing Go Temasek Go with hand signs and learned to do ABC with handsign too. that was way cool sia. i will definitely go and learn how to converse in sign language lor. hahaha and kwee already knows how to do it. lol.

anyhow, i got another gift from my colleagues to send me off. hahaha, its a cap which according to them i can use during NS. cool!!! goodbye Five Stars.

well, wad was originally a very bad monday turned into a very good one actually. after i slept at nearly 6am after the netherlands game. i woke up at 12 feeling damn depressed lar, originally wanted to cancel the trip to mindcafe with josh saf and sharon one. but i still went lar. reached there early with josh cos saf and sharon came from different places. since we were the only 2 there, we decided to start with a game of chinese chess. hahaha, have not touched chinese chess since sec 4 sia.

den sharon and saf came and we played halli calli, the game that required us to have 5 of 1 pattern before we can press the bell. jus as we were abt to finish the game off with the last round, me sharon and josh went for the bell in a desperate bid to not lose. we all hit the bell at abt the same time, but den josh gave a very huge "OUCH" after reaching the bell. blood started to flow from his index finger, he actually got cut by my damn short finger nails lar. hahaha, this proves that even board games will result in injuries ok. LOL.

den i saw this really cute waitress at the cafe lar. hahaha, my mood started to change for the better. but saf, josh and sharon all say she aint cute lor. anyhow, the thing that really got my mood up was when we played "I'm the Boss". first time playing the game lar, so abit confused as to how to play it. and we had the cute waitress explaining the game to us =) once we started to play the game proper, it was damn fun ah. all the bargaining and negotiating with each other so that we all earn as much money as possible. me and sharon formed an alliance lar, which got saf and josh damn pissed off cos we controlled most of the good cards and undercut them their profits. the game is damn addictive lor, on the way home we kept groaning abt wanting to play the game somemore. hahaha, worse than when we played "Dividends" sia.

den we went to suntec to look for that Netherlands bag that i had been eyeing for a long time sia (the one i saw while looking for glenn's birthday gift with xiu hui and elene). that time at the converse in heeren, the sales lady told us most of the outlets already sold out liao and i was damn devasted lar. den saf saw it at the converse in suntec lor. hahaha. was damn excited along the way to the converse. when saf went in, he reached behind a england bag and TATA, he pulled out the netherlands bag. OMG, it still looked as nice as ever lar. and it was on 20% off. which made it even cheaper. but it was the last piece liao, so it even more precious. and i only paid 9 bucks for it cos saf sharon and josh also chipped in $9 each. as my very belated birthday gift. hahaha. thanx for the gift guys. really like it alot. later, me and saf went to crumpler at paragon (josh sent sharon home) and he bought a seriously huge bag lar, i think can fit 3 of my Netherlands bag sia. it set him back by $189, thus my netherlands bag was nothing compared to his. but the bag he bought was damn nice lor, especially the colour combination. still i would say its not as nice when compared to mine. =P

den we went to athar for dinner before heading home. and the most amazing thing happened at athar. athar actually bought a television sia!!! to cater to all the world cup fanatics. saf and me actually stood right beside the TV for a full 10 seconds to admire it sia. and the boss there told us it has been there for almost a week liao. my favourite hide out with my frens is getting more and more high tech liao. hahaha. kinda ruin its original setting and ambience man. but cool sia. hehehe

im blogging rite now in the wee hrs of the morning becos the match between Netherlands and Portugal has jus ended and i am damn pissed off. firstly becos the dutch went out of the world cup. and secondly, the portugese played fucking dirty. use all sorts of small actions to give their team the advantage; diving, play acting and hacking at the dutch's leg. WTF, this is football lor, we wan to see great skills and great action. the match turned from a would be spectacle to a great debacle. especially figo. KNN, he only ran passed and brushed u accidentally with the swinging arm lor, u fell like u were hit by a train. i do hope u get hit by a train one day sia. and u head butted van bommel, u are damn lucky the stupid referee missed it. fucking portugese, play jus like their club sides. dive and cheat using all sorts of tactical fouls to stop the opponents from playing.

thirdly, the referee was a bloody idiot lar, alot of infractions on the dutch he also nv give. den kept giving the advantage to the portugese, he also missed alot of things lar. wad kind of referee misses action here and there one???!!! he needed to consult the assistant so many times lar. stupid russian. i hope u crash and burn in hell ah!!!! and he gave a total of 16 yellow and 4 red cards lar. turned the whole match upside down inside out. fights nearly broke twice lar, he couldnt even control it. 4th and 5th officials had to step in to prevent anything worse from happening lor, even scolari had to step in. stupid referee, cant even control the match. jus drop dead lar, the footballing world would be better with one less referee like you.

fourth, that bloddy dirk kuyt sux like hell lar. van basten crticised van nistelrooy for not getting involved with the attack as often as needed. but i didnt see anything from kuyt that suggests he did a better job. WTH, he was like a mere passer-by lar. left it all to the wingers to shoot and attack. pls lar, they are wingers lor, they are suppose to pass the ball to you and score. instead they had to do the shooting. and van basten, i have to say he is a good coach lar - brought the dutch a long way while playing beautifully - but y did he leave van nistelrooy out??!! even when the team needed a true striker on the pitch, he chose to bring a totally unproven hesselink on and he did nothing noteworthy.

on a final note, i appluad the dutch. they played so beautifully today. the attacking was totally magnificent, a total of 20 shots at goal lor. movement off the ball was perfect too. even when the match was ending, u guys jus kept plugging away at the portugese goal hoping to get a breakthrough. a pity u guys went out so early, and the world losing the chance to see the oranje play attacking and wonderful football at the world cup. luckily this is a young squad and if they do stick together and van basten stays coach, im sure they will do damn well for EURO 2008 and beyond.

yesterday was kim joo's birthday. it was fun sia. saw alot of old zhonghua sec schoolmates and ah kam came too. ah kam is actually kim yuan, a good fren of ours in primary school. i haven seen him since we graduated from primary school sia. made it all the more interesting sia. met josh, sharon and saf at dhoby ghaut mrt after work. they went to get kim his present (a germany soccer ball and a water bottle from adidas. they took alot of free posters from adidas too cos saf knew the staff there). naturally, becos the party contained me and saf. we only reached kim's place at 8pm when we were supposed to reach at 7.30pm. lol.

when we were under kim's block, saf and sharon started to sing half a verse of happy birthday while i helped to end the verse. i have to say, we cant bloody hell sing. lol. we reached kim's place and sharon gave him his present. we den started to eat like mad; spaghetti, bee hoon, pizzas, 933 golden pillow etc etc. the most happening food has got to be one of the pizza sia. guess pizza kim ordered, escargot pizza sia. OMG, first time eating snails lor but it tasted great sia. abit like chicken and oyster mixed together. hahaha, the 933 golden pillow was damn nice too. the curry chicken was superb. den ah kam came, almost cannot recognise him sia, he has grown so much taller lar compared to pri school days where he was damn short. now he is almost the same height as josh sia. hehehe, we started to reminisce abt our primary school days sia, how we used to look like and all the stupid stuffs we did. one particular incident was where i tried to kick hwa san (playing only) at the basketball court before training but he caught me and i tried a jumping turning kick, instead i landed flat on my face. hahaha. had a great time laughing abt that yesterday. and josh did his best to remind me abt it. it has indeed been a long time sia.

the army boys came nxt, all of them botak and they started to tell one another abt their platoon and all the interesting stories. proceeded to watch 'the fast and furious: tokyo drift'. the show was damn zai lar, with all the cars and racing. but because it was pirated ah, the quality sucked like hell sia. after the show, we sang birthday song for kim and he had a very tiny tiny minute birthday cake. funniest was when they started taking photos sia, kim kept posing with the magazine with felicia chin's face. den we took part in lucky draw that kim planned. gifts include; STRIKE, 4D and TOTO and some chocolates and toys (i got TOTO). LOL. funniest was, all the gifts were sponsored by Singapore Pools (kim jus won $125 from STRIKE). den it was world cup time, and all the pple who got STRIKE as gifts started to pray hard as hell lor. and we made loads of noise sia. i think we were louder than the uncles at the coffee shops.

last thing, kim has a damn cute nephew sia. damn shy in front of all of us lor. speak also damn softly and so gullible too. he wanted to give kim his gift but couldnt find him, so we told him he is hiding under the couch. he really bent down to look for him lar. hahaha. damn cute. we also watched some japanese variety show on youtube introduced by mr brown. wah lao, the japanese they all damn bastards lar, prank pple until damn jialat. but it was damn funny sia, abt 10 pple gathered ard the laptop and watched and laughed together. and wad with all the pple from my sec school. kinda missed the kind of life i led in sec school sia although i hated that school, all the laughters in the canteen after school and at the basketball court. and there's soccer tomolo too!!! YEAH, 2 weeks nv play liao sia. hope that it doesnt rain sia, and ah kam could be joining us too. =)

jus read an article abt this girl known online as Nevada-tan. she is a 11 yrs old girl(in 2004) from japan studying in a normal japanese elementary school. sounds typical eh. well, she's not...... on the 1st of june 2004. she slashed one of her 12 yrs old classmate to death with a pen knife during lunch break in school. damn horrible man. what could have provoked a innocent 11 yr old to do something that even a grown man would shudder to do?? the reason; the 12 yrs old classmate talked abt Nevada being fat on Nevada's website. thats like too extreme lar, to kill a classmate over a comment abt you being fat. its worrying becos of 2 things. firstly, she is only 11 and is already so concerned abt appearances and stuff, what would she grow up to be sia?? and to actually take the internet comment so seriously, isnt it too extreme? secondly, Nevada is suffering from Hikikomori (situation where the person becomes extremely isolated from outside world) but her parents nv did find out abt it until the murder.

what i wan to say is, doesnt this say something very wrong with the society today?? kids getting obsessed with their looks and parents not noticing wad is wrong with their kids. wad is it that causes these problems?? urbanization? lets jus have a look at kids today and kids from my generation. in my days, we play with see-saw, lego; toys made from plastic, we would definitely not get what we asked for (not on the first request anyway) and we are forever carefree, no pressure at all. we grew up the way kids are supposed to grow up. kids today, they play with computer games, rarely go outdoors, get what they wan whenever they wan. they also have to deal with pressure; excelling in studies and cca, comparisons with frens abt who has the best toy/gadget, parents subjecting them to comparisons with cousins. maybe its because of these things that could have caused the problems. the kids getting more and more self-centered with bigger egos. to them, pride is everything and letting go is nv an option. parents too, they spend most of their time at work and doesnt spend enuff time with their kids(they have to work in order to survive). as a way of compensation they give the kids what they wan without questioning which builds up their ego even more. as we all know, once a person's ego is bruised, they can and will do anything. even kids.

im not saying that urbanization is a bad thing, but wouldnt it be great if kids can retain the same innocence, have the same kind of childhood that we used to enjoy (i doubt any of the babies born after 1993 has even seen live chickens) while the world continues to move forward. i read an article quite awhile ago, it talked abt this picture comparing the smile of kids today and in the past. in a nutshell, kids in the past had a brighter and much more radiant smile compared to the smile of kids today. surely this says something. the pressure that parents are putting on kids are enormous too. 5 yrs old and already sent for tuition classes, piano lessons, english enrichment, etc. so young and already has to deal with so much, i wouldnt be surprised if more similar cases to Nevada's turn up. already crime rate among kids (5-11yrs old) are on the rise.

i have to say, sharon has a damn cool father sia. that day me and josh went to her house to watch Korea and Togo's match on the super huge TV(42 inches i think) that she has. haha, the TV was so huge ah, i had to sit at the back jus to see the whole screen sia. lol. den her dad came in clutching a bottle of "Bailey's with a hint of chocolate mint" (basically its jus whiskey lar, with chocolate mint). he asked us wad is the legal age to drink and when he found out we were old enuff, he left the entire bottle in the room and left lor!!!! telling us to have a try cos its very nice. hahaha, but we only drank a cup each - we very automatic one - and its the best alcoholic drink i ever had sia. better than red wine or champagne man. after the game, we played winning on the TV. woooohooooo, first time playing winning on such a huge TV, the feeling was damn shiok sia. my head had to move like 1 second before i can follow the action on the otherside of the TV lor. unlike normally where jus 1 glance and my eyes can take in everything on the screen liao. lol.

nxt day, we decided to go and watch CARS at The Cathay (original plan was to go play board game one, but saf is working so we decided to watch movie). first time watching movie there for me sia, and we got the largest theatre there is. damn great sia. and the movie was nice too. liked mater and guido most. their actions damn funny sia. especially when guido was changing the tyres near the end. hahaha, laugh still flip sia. after that we went for lunch before i headed home to collect my com from my cousin. its finally back up. but i lost all my stuffs. the naruto animes, the FRIENDS (all 10 seasons), my songs especially the metallica ones. and all the pictures - my TB012, Programme Com, Banking Tourism, Jeff Hardy all gone. but at least i can use my com liao.

work has been pretty boring too. i dun think we get more than 10 walk in customers a day lor. thats from 10am to 6pm leh. phone calls are also getting lesser and lesser. probably becos of the world cup ba. everybody wakes up late and has no motivation to go overseas or even step out of their house. lol. im not complaining too much though. BUT my full time colleagues get to go on a Amadeus course man. FREE. Amadeus is a system used for checking air-tickets and other airline related stuffs. going for this course means I will learn alot more abt how to use the system and things like that sia. but i cant go since its only for full time workers and not part timers. sian.... but the course would be fun. jus for the record, today's sales from 10 am up till now (5.40pm) is $140 nia. not even enuff to cover the salaries of all the staff on duty sia. lol.

well, after 4 long years, the world cup is finally underway. and i believe the whole world is totally captivated by this major event which is watched by more pple in the world than the olympics. and today, i have decided to play predictor and try to guess which team is gonna win the Jules Rimet Trophy. i'll rank them according to who i think has the highest chance of winning.

Netherlands - hahaha, of course they are the favourites to win lar, cos they are my favourite team mah. this prediction of them being most likely to win is biased lar, but heck. i believe they can win it. partly becos this year they finally have a squad that doesnt have any internal squabbles lar. and they have a fairly strong squad with alot of young players who are willing to play their guts out for the team. talent is definitely not a problem with players like Van Nistelrooy, Van Persie, Robben, Heitinga, Cocu, Kuyt and many more. but the defence is a lil suspect lar cos its pretty inexperienced. after watching their match with Serbia, Total Football is back!!! pretty confident they will do well.

Italy - well, this year sees Italy coming into the world cup with very little expected of them, which i think will work in their favour cos they almost always fail whenever they go into a major tournament as title favourites. they are definitely defensively stable with Nesta and Cannavaro, albeit a little old. and attack wise, they have Totti leading the line and Del Piero can come on to do damage when needed. and there's Gilardino who mus be eager to prove himself after a slow season at Milan. many players would be eager too with this world cup being their swansong.

Brazil - everybody's favourite to win the cup but not me cos it would be so much fun to see another team win the cup instead of Brazil again. but the talent in their squad is undoubted lar. they are like Chelsea man (more attacking one), with so many quality players in every position; Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Adriano, Kaka, Cafu, Carlos and so many more. they are definitely the most attacking team in the tournament. the nike slogan, joga bonito really fits them to a dot sia. they also have players who has got big match experience which could work in their favour.

Argentina - well, they were eliminated from the last tournament in the first round so they will be damn eager to prove their worth to the whole world. with Riquelme being the playmaker and Saviola (the little rabbit) in attack. if needed, they can call on Tevez and Aimar too. and not to forget Messi. and their defence is one of the most solid in the tournament. they have one of the strongest squads available and they play with a attacking philosophy too, with Jose Pekerman being a tactically smart coach, they would be one of the teams to look out for.

Spain - great talent throughout the entire squad in all positions, Puyol, Salgado and Ramos in defence; Xavi, Iniesta and Joaquin in midfield; Villa, Torres and Raul in attack. but they always flop in the major tournaments. and their coach is a racists lar. anyhow, if they really play to their full potential. they could shock alot people sia. with their skills and passing ability its not hard to actually see them all the way till the semi-finals lor. and considering that they have underachieved for so long, i think its abt time that they come out of their shell liao.

to note, i think these 2 teams are overhyped to win the cup for one reason or another. England; Eriksson is not tactically good enuff lar, the squad is strong though. France; over-dependence on Zidane liao, seen especially in qualifying when he didnt play. under-rated teams i think are Portugal & Czech Republic.

may the best team win (Netherlands pls!!!!!!)

FUCK, first screw up in so long working for Five Stars sia. made a damn stupid mistake. y did i make such a amateurish mistake sia??!! totally damage my previously unblemished reputation lor!!! KNN, WTF man, how can make such a simple mistake and to think the customer was at Sunway Lagoon liao. luckily the customer was magnanimous lor, and my colleague, Regine, helped me to settle it & Sunway had an extra bed. otherwise i would be in shit sia. thanx alot to regine. shall nv make such a stupid mistake again. will let off some steam tomolo during soccer. grrrrrrrrr.

sylbest is already in Tekong liao, today at 11.30am. had dinner with him on thursday together with jaz, john and jason at bedok 85. was suppose to meet them at 7pm, but i only left my work place at 7pm. hahaha, in the end i had to take a cab there and wasted 14 bucks. reached there and of course we had the very famous bak cho mee - damn hot sia, should have asked for ketchup instead - chicken wings, satay and also orhh lua. food was good lar as usual and we talked cock abt girls and stuff. it jus so happened that there was a really hot girl sitting right nxt to us lar. and we kept talking abt her, to think she was having dinner with her father sia. wad if he had heard us talking abt his daughter sia?? =P

after that, we had no place to go or things to do. came up with alot of ideas as to where to go. jason suggested going to the beach and relax and jus talk cock but we couldnt decide on which place to go to, changi or east coast. sylbest even suggested going to seletar dam (nobody knew where it was, hahaha) in the end, we decided to go K-Box and sing. hahaha. 5 guys going to sing karaoke sia...... but we did not go lor. we changed plans again and in the end we decided to jus drive ard in sylbest's car. sounds boring eh. NAH, i think its the hardest i have ever laughed lor. i nearly cried while laughing sia and had such a bad tummyache. especially since i was sitting at the back with jaz and john. those 2 seriously crack me up; they were in desperate need to pee lar, and we couldnt find a place to stop. so they had to hold it in, but hor sylbest was driving at such a speed, every bump we took would mean a serious challenge on their bladder lar. hahahaha. was laughing so hard with jason that i think pple outside the car could have heard us sia. was a totally wonderful night out with them lar, pity we had to work the nxt day, otherwise who knows wad other stupid things we could have done and laughed abt. by the way, we went to a place very little frequented by normal pple. that was the highlight of the drive-ard man. the funniest and most exciting part of the whole get-together. hehehe.

hehehe, yesterday was graduation day and im now a official graduate of TP =) it was super duper fun sia. on tues nite, i met saf, josh, sharo, kim and some sec skool frens for athar. sharon jus came back from South Africa sia, jus the air tickets alone cost SGD 3200 lor, and she got me a bangle made by the local tribesman. cool man. anyhow, after that i took bus to sylbest's place for winning camp. saw john and colin for the first time since they went into army. had lots of fun listening to all their stories abt their life there and it freaked jaz and best out a little. especially best since he is going in on the 10th of june. in the end, only me jaz and best played winning while the 2 of them slept. woke them up at 4am for breakfast at mac; we stayed for 2 hrs talking abt army before we proceeded back for somemore winning but we ended up watching Ameican Pie: Band Camp. i only watched for like 45mins before i fell asleep. woke up at 8 plus and went home. slept for like 4 hrs before i started preparing for graduation.

met john at mushroom and waited for the others to turn up, saw ele and she is still as tall lar. also saw sara with her mother and jaz came with his grp mates. after talking cock for awhile, i wanted to put my tie on, but hahaha my head was too big sia. took the whole tie out and nobody there knows how to tie a tie. jaz tried. in the end, needed xiao jing to put the tie on for me. hahaha, and i dun even know her that well but still thanks. saw xiu hui too, wanted to talk a little with her but i was still getting my tie tied so i couldnt say much but she still managed to put in some suaning time sia. hahaha. went in for registration after that and i told the person i forgot to bring matric, but in fact i purposely left it at home - i dun wan to return the card =P - went in and had serene sit right nxt to me sia. how cool was that??!! haven seen or talked to her in a long time, so we spent the entire graduation ceremony talking and laughing as we always do during project. den went on stage to collect our file with no cert in it. was the 3rd one on stage which made me even more nervous lar. and i was so afraid of tripping myself when walking to collect my file lor; given my clumsy reputation. it turned out fine though. sat down and continued talking to serene, gossiping abt those going on stage and abt our workplace. hahaha. laughed alot with her sia, all the nonsense we come up with....

after the ceremony, went out of TCC and took alot of photos sia, man. my cheeks went stiff jus smiling lor and my eyes had lots and lots of small bright lights from all the camera flashes. hahaha. it was fun lar, last day in school (mark my words, its not going to be my last). hahaha, and philomena see (one of my favourite tutor) went to to talk to my parents sia, congratulating them and all. hahaha. later, the whole bunch of us went to look for desmond to take photo. we also kept taking photo outside the toilet for no apparent reason. took photos with my parents too with jaz's camera. thanx to him. yean hui kept persuading me and john to join TPGA, hahahaha, still considering lar. but most prob i'll join, simply cos i love my skool. and to note, i didnt cry at all sia. hahaha. meeting my 5Js and best later for dinner cos best going in on sat liao. all the best man....be a good soldier.

well, im officially graduating tomolo. therefore i have decided to chronicle the 3 yrs i spent in TP in this post. it will be extremely long though so pls bear with me.

Sem 1.1
First ever sem in TP. hahahaha. how fitting was it that the class is TB012 (12 being my favourite number). and not to mention, this class being my favourite class of all time. OMG, the fun we had together and the tutors still remember this class even today!!! everyday during break, we would visit the many canteens to taste the food except engine cos the food there simply sux sia. and after school we would jus spend our time wasting away in Biz Park over a cup of iced milo and jus talking crap. hahaha. the 7 guys were the greatest sia, John, Jaz, Colin(Jian He), Jeff(me) Ismail, Sylbest and Alvin. And together with John, Jaz and Colin, the 4 of us formed the 4Js. the 4 crappiest guys in the class. (a fifth J was to join us later on). most memorable was our chalet/kayaking trip. that really got the class together as a group. i mus also mention song yun and elaine cos they were like my sisters in the class, hahaha. the fun we had during project. and also sharon and ur lao shu; thanx for letting lao shu keep me company during the boring lectures and the stupid OB tutorial. a pity was that we only had 1 sem together, otherwise the fun we could have would have been so much greater. other than colin who went to study LOM. the rest of us went into Business but we all chose different electives sia. all 6 of us, all different electives ah!!! how likely is that? gratefully, the majority of us still keeps in touch. and special mention to the entire class for pestering me to cut my hair every single day. hahaha. i have to agree sia, my hair was way way way too long.

Sem 1.2
to be totally honest, i hated this class. i was the only one in the class. no TB012 pple at all. and the people in this class were people i didnt particularly like or could get along with. the 4 Js all had similar 1.2 class, which gave us something to complain abt during our get together sessions. and what John said was correct, if it wasnt for this particularly bad 1.2 class, we wouldnt have realised and appreciated TB012 that much.

Sem 2.1
hehehe, this was where the 5th J joined the group. Jason Ho Hin Kheng. got to know him cos he was in my class for 2.1 and boy did he make my 2.1 so much more exciting. i was in the same class as him and sylbest. together with that freaking tall eleanor. =P we did projects together and boy did we do well. we submitted the best project for both the HR projects and the one Marketing project we did. me and ele would always made jason feel inferior by standing either side of him and talking across his head. hahaha. we would stay back late in school almost daily to do our projects and although it was tiring it was fun because we spent half our time playing winning eleven on sylbest's laptop in the library. apologies to ele and sylbest cos me and jason were always late for meeting by at least 1 hr. =P. and with the beginning of this sem, we started to stay overnight at sylbest's place for overnight winning eleven "camps". the 5Js and sylbest also really got to know each other better thru our irregular camps.

Sem 2.2 to 3.2
got into my banking and tourism class and i did not change class ever again. had Jia Ning, Serene, Priscilla and Fauzrin in my grp for projects. the class was not even close knit cos we basically jus stuck to our own project grps. but i liked this class because of my project grp. it was particularly special because, we would talk cock 60% of the time and jus laugh our way through the many project meetings even when we were totally stressed out. the war only began when we reached home. special thanx to jia ning for typing all that we have discussed into soft-copy and printing them out. it was particularly tough in 3.2 as we jus came back from SIP and had a shortened sem with the same amount of projects to hand in. but we managed to gut it out and hand in works that we were proud of. and they were great projects too. the projects pulled my coursework up to B+ despite my C or C+ mid sem test results. and ever since i got into this grp, i have been known as baby ever since. =( the many outings we had were fun too especially the field trips for our event project. hahaha.
my SIP was also particularly memorable with all my great colleagues and fun work. was even more touched when the operations people gave me a gift for being the best attachment. =) cried a little but nothing compared to camp. had some of the best tutors in this class sia. Mr Desmond Lim; always covering our ass. Ah Phong; event management tutor. Mr Chua Kheng Tiong; nv marking me late for a/cs tutorial despite me being 1 hr late. Mr Lawrence Leong; BTM tutor, he taught things using logic.

i also started to take part in school activities during this period. first was the SL camp, it was ok and i loved my freshies to bits and pieces. but they still call me banana when they see me on the road. damn. i also took part in kayaking during this period. got hold of my star 1 and star 2. hahaha, apologies to angie during star 1 course because she had to rescue me twice for capsize drill; she had to paddle so hard to make sure we were with the main grp. thanx alot. the most special thing during this period would be me joining programme comm for OTC/FOC/FOW. nv expected myself to do this sort of thing, but while walking to athar with saf one day, i jus wanted to do something with my last sem. the programme kias, definitely some of the most wondeful people i met in 3 yrs. us squeezing into the superbly small and slow SAA hydraulic lift. record was 26 of us. and the lift was nv the same ever since. always breaking down and jamming. hehehe. we went thru alot of shit especially on the first day of OTC, but we became stronger and more united. late nites to al-kadir for supper, MOS in log room and in zul's 14 footer lorry. it was especially tough for the 6 days FOC/FOW but i dun think anybody wanted it to end on the last day. last day was rather emotional for me personally, nv expected myself to do that. but 3 wonderful yrs in the school, i jus couldnt control myself. and that was the first time i cried so hard since sec 2 sia, when we lost and couldnt get into nationals for north zone bball tournament. thanks to meili and shep for consoling me and xiu hui for asking me if i was alright when we were outside the lift. really appreciated it guys. have to thank all the I/cs for job well done especially the scoring i/cs (abby, jeslyn and yours truly) cos we stuck to it sia. =) and ah hui for the frenship band.
