so now it's already midway through week 2.. glad tt todae's finally over.. yeah.. e day of e 3 tutorials.. O.o and yesterday's e day of 3 lectures.. -.-
coming to e slack part of e week.. time to do some clearing of e backlog tt i've created.. yah.. just only wk 2 and i'm starting to have backlogs.. wth..
went to buy e textbooks.. ex.. -.- and i'm like almost buying 1st hand for all 5 modules, except for stats, which i bought from yee qian.. y can't they stop changing e recommended textbooks every sem? waste my money go buy 1st hand stuff.. -.-
tutorials been quite ok so far.. although lecture wise they simply can't be compared to last sem's.. this sem's lectures are just dead boring.. i mean e lecturers.. of course then again there's e exception.. e psychology lecturer's quite enthusiastic about her stuff and er hmmm.. not to mention tt she's quite young and pretty too.. =x and hmmm.. she has a PHD if i'm not wrong.. one thing to mention though, she goes through e lecture notes so fast.. wat was supposed to be a 2hr lecture ended in just 1hr..
oh ya.. i passed my driving test!!! hohoho.. let me recount wat happened on tt day.. firstly it was raining on my way there.. but i thought tt it was a good thing, cos e other drivers on e rd would then be not driving tt fast.. e rain reduced to a drizzle by e time i got to e driving centre and man.. my warm up was fast.. done in 30min, when it was supposed to last 45min.. 1st to reach back e driving centre.. and so was it for e test itself.. haha..
didn't do any e-brake or u-turn for e test.. haha.. yah yah.. lucky me.. and to think tt i could still pass after striking e kerb.. at only e 3rd obstacle for e test somemore.. but tt's my only mistake k? i didn't even get another single tick for e whole paper, save for e tick tt indicated tt i passed e test.. so 10 demerit points it was.. happy.. :)
just remembered tt i forgot to mention about e suayness tt surrounded my 22nd b'day.. well, i think i'll save e post for another day..

又是深夜时分。。 窗外下着细雨。。 近日来生活过得平平凡凡的。。 多一个礼拜就是考车的时候了。。 前几次去学驾车感觉有些不稳,
开始为我的考车担心,不知是否能及格。。 今天去学车,做了个预备式测验。。 得了30分。。 本来是能及格的,不过犯了两个不该犯的
错。。 结果无缘无故的白扣了16分。。
接下来的星期日应该没有什么特别的安排。。 也不知是为何。。 没什么心情去举办聚集会。。 可能会和朋友们有超小型的聚会,但不会
特地去约全四义的同学们来聚一聚。。
用华语来写博客真的有些不顺畅。。 说到来也是因为华语的使用率没像往日那么频繁。。 真是的。。 接下来的学期,我还将会修读现代中文歌词导读。。 O.o
近日来所作的梦还蛮校园似的。。 是我最喜欢的梦型之一。。 那种梦幻校园性的梦境。。 又能在梦里遇见喜欢看到的人。。 校园型的梦是那么的甜蜜。。
以过去的经验来说,这次的假期应是我第五首歌词出炉的时候。。 有点遗憾的说,我并没有在这假期里碰到我桌上的那个歌词草稿。。 也是因为这次的歌词是我有史以来改变得最多次的一个。。 对于歌词最终的构思,我至今并还没确定。。
就要开学了。。 上学期的成绩也已经揭晓。。 总得来说还算过得去。。 只是对我的商业法律成绩有些不满。。 也不知是怎么搞的。。 才刚刚及格。。

so as is e trend lately.. i'm not blogging as frequently as ever.. let's see wat happened during this one month break from e blogosphere..
spent some time typing out my past lyrics.. so now they're in text form instead of the pictures.. looks neater and easier to view, since e url for e photos often change.. if u can't see e chinese text, make sure that yr browser is encoding e webpage in unicode..
had e AA101 practise assigment and biz law written assignment some weeks ago.. supposed to receive them back this week, but i guess e efficiency of NTU nv fails to push things back.. so i'm gonna get them back next week after all.. at least tt is wat they say.. e practise assignment was downright depressing.. perhaps i nv really prepared myself enough for tt.. but it sure felt sucky tt after having obtained perfect scores for e earlier accounting quiz and maths mid term test, i'll be faced with such a demoralising test.. dun think it'll end up so bad as to fail.. but den e marks wun be good..
wasn't exactly happy with my comms fundamental presentation grade either.. e tutor said tt my nervousness was quite telling.. i wonder how tml's presentation would go.. chose something tt i'm quite confident no one else would choose, although it's not tt everyone dunnoe about it.. dun think many singaporeans would immediately link something tt's uniquely singapore with e image tt singapore is a 'fine' city..
so i got a taste of wat it's like having a free-rider in e project group.. man.. and he was a total free-rider too.. couldn't be bothered about e progress of e project.. didn't care less.. but since e other guy in e group (who contributed more than me) nv mention anything about e free-riding issue, i didn't too..
finally booked tp e other day.. so it's gonna be on 11 jan, a thursday.. hopefully i dun miss too many classes tt day, since school would have already started.. went to e cdc website to check e slots for driving lessons.. and discovered something bad.. hopefully it's e system tt screwed up.. cos booking of lessons for jan is supposed to start only on 15 nov, but e website showed tt all lessons from 3 jan to 18 jan have been fully booked.. tt would mean tt i won't be able to put in any revision lessons in jan, b4 my tp.. which is v bad.. argh.. pls tell me tt e system screwed up..
so bra managed to get his application for entrance into BMS approved.. at least in principle.. he still gotta send in e proper application during e hols.. seems like BMS and accountancy grads are currently in pretty hot demand.. had an article in ST today tt stated BMS was one of e 3 things tt e sg government is placing its bets on.. and just a week ago, there were 2 acticles saying tt accounting grads r in short supply, even with like at least 1000+ grads being churned out every year.. and 600+ of them from ntu.. seems to me tt it is not really a problem of talent shortage but high turnover rates at e big 4.. not to mention tt they pay e same starting salary to all grads, regardless of their class of honours.. which unsurprisingly, have prompted top accountancy grads to look for greener pastures in e banking and investment sector..
feeling a sense of false sense of serenity.. perhaps it's e calm b4 e storm.. dun really feel e urgency to study for exams yet.. even though they r like less than 2 weeks away..
many things to blog about.. but i guess i can't remember all of them all at once.. haha.. talking about tt, i suddenly thought of a dream tt i had e other time.. maybe i'll blog about it some other time.. now, it's time for something else..

blog. ok.. so i've not blogged for 1 month and 12 days.. think it's e longest blog absence since i started e blog.. currently typing out these stuff on notepad.. ya.. notepad.. cos e stupid blogger must still be thinking tt this is a spam blog and hence, it loves to request my username and password so often.. and at it's whim and fancy.. and tt is after they have sent a real human to come here and verify tt this is not a spam blog.. -.- ya rite.. tell me more..
k.. point not taken.. they keep asking for my details after i have typed finish my stuff and pressed e publish button.. so? so e whole chunk of stuff tt i wrote r lost.. so? so lousy service..
b4 i go on any further.. i think i better warn u tt this will be a v long post..
break. finally e awaited break arrived.. not tt i think i made much use of it anyway.. didn't do much tt was outside e scope of tutorials, projects and assignments.. and it's already friday.. and i've not studied for my IT and maths tests yet.. hurray..
project. just finished consolidating Q1 of e acc project.. project slugging along currently.. hopefully things will speed up when school opens.. and ya.. i feel tt i've suddenly become taller when i am with my group mates.. lol.. evil.. i'm e only guy in e group u see..
driving. gotta start checking out e available slots tml, when e window for booking for dec open.. but first i gotta go down and top up my account b4 i can start booking away.. auto lesson, rest of e parking lessons, revisions and of course TP.. wanna pass during e inter-sem break.. hopefully my drving skills haven gone too rusty in e meantime.. haha.. at most bang into car only ma.. rite..
biz law assignment. am i glad tt my question was easy.. although it was 11 pages worth.. heard other ppl talking about their questions for e assignment.. and ya.. i am glad tt mine's a easy one.. not saying tt i'll score well though.. maybe someone can help me vet it?
AA101 quiz. yup.. easy peasy.. no, really.. quite a few ppl got full marks for it.. me included.. :) but nothing much to boast about.. since it was meant to be easy.. tt's wat e tutor said.. and she also mentioned something to e tune of: ppl ask us y our (NBS) entry requirements are high and yet we dun produce many As and A-s.. so this time round, we will try to produce more.. O.o tsk tsk
5th song. not much progress (read: no progress).. as usual.. not sure if i mentioned this b4.. but i (or rather bra) found out tt there's this elective called DIRECTED READINGS OF MODERN CHINESE SONG LYRICS (IN CHINESE).. prays tt it'll still be available next sem so tt i can take it..
national song writing competition (chinese). just found out about it today from ntu email..most prob wont be taking part.. unless a melody drops down from e sky for me to fill in e lyrics.. and ya.. if it's gonna drop, then it gotta drop b4 dec something.. forgot dec when...
mob. sian.. haven packed my field pack and sbo yet.. and there's a tech mob next sat.. mob mob mob.. y y y.. burnt weekend ahead..
e-learning week. just saw tt e biz law lecture was uploaded.. 2 full hours of it.. argh.. going to spend 2 hours sitting in front of e com listening to her talk.. gimme e actual physical lecture instead.. anytime..
fm make-up lesson today. attended by prob only slightly more than half e class.. guess e rest figured tt e oppotunity cost of attending it was too high for them..
pangya and dota. i think my skills r getting rusty.. pretty rusty.. and pangya just continued it's crazy rate of patching.. wat can i say.. just hope they can maintain it.. silvia cannon is a killer.. prob will only return to play it's 18 holes when i reach 250y.. which is like nv going to happen.. discovered some interesting commands for e ai map for dota.. pa with buriza and 5 divine = godly.. 5800+ dmg.. first tower down in 4 hits.. enough said..
dreams. had a spate of dream control just a few weeks ago.. feel great to have such a streak after a long period of non-dream control.. and i now noe tt e scientific study of dreams is called oneirology..
i think i'll continue this post some other time.. getting late.. time to catch some winks.. and hopefully, catch a controlled dream.. yeah.. wish me luck..
continued on 3 Oct 1400:
dreams. found a lot of info on lucid dreaming on wikipedia.. they even have a wiki on it.. and in this particular section under dream control, they even teach u how to do certain stunts in yr dream.. for example, for flying, they teach u e different methods of flying, such as:
-"Swimming" through the air. Moving one's body as if swimming, through propel oneself through the air. May be physically exhausting, however.
-Flying like a bird: flapping one's arms/wings serves to propel oneself through the air. (Note: sometimes takes painfully long to gain altitude--not recomended for quick escapes)
-Superman/Neo-style: very high-speed flying, without any effort to speak of. Superman style involves one of the arms outstretched like that of the famous do-gooder, and the Neo style involves both arms lying straight, downwards towards the hips.
funny desciptions, e way they put it.. another funny one is shown for passing through walls:
Like anything in dreams, when it comes to passing through solid objects, expectation is king. If you believe that the object is hard, you will not be able to put parts of your body through it.
One way to pass through a wall is to believe that it is made out of gas, liquid, or some other soft material. Another way is to believe that your own body is ghostlike and ethereal.
If everything else fails, try to hurl yourself through the wall at great speed (see also flying). This should over time build up the needed confidence to be able to penetrate walls at normal speeds.
damn funny..
had a couple of firsts in my dream control experience in this year, particularly e last few months.. one was e conducting of a reality check.. seriously nv expected myself to do one.. usually i would be very confident of e fact tt i noe tt i am dreaming.. but i guess tt time my confidence level wasn't too high.. after all, e stunt tt i was going to try out after performing e reality check was a dangerous one.. so wat was it? well.. jumping off a building.. yeap.. tt was my 2nd time tt i did tt in my dream.. totally adrenaline pumping experience, even though it was only in a dream.. anyway, e reality check tt i did was to pinch myself and feel no pain.. haha..
but.. but, who was to guess tt i did something even more crazy in a later dream? i did a few building jumps, all in e same dream.. kinda felt like those extreme-sports free-running ppl.. no barriers.. yeah man..
another first came in me flying to this person's house to look for e person.. sadly and irritating enough, e person was not at home.. argh!!! i think of all e possible stunts tt can be done in a dream, my weakest has got to be summoning objects and people.. i totally sux at it.. lol..
now wat i have in mind for my next dream control is pretty crazy and most likely to fail.. i'm going to try to bring someone from his dream into my dream.. ya.. u nv read wrongly.. e idea actually came about some years ago and considering tt i have done just about any stunt tt my puny mind can come up with, i think i'll do this for a change.. be on e lookout to see my notice on e failed attempt.. lol..
of course to do wat i stated above, i need to find other ways to meet up with e person in e first place.. currently thinking of calling e person up with my hp in e dream, then arranging to meet at a particular place..
uncontrolled junction. there's this uncontrolled junction ie. trafficlight-less junction some distance from my hall.. between e art school and hall 2.. wasn't really surprised to see tt an accident had happened there while i was walking to my tutorial venue this morning.. just don't understand which stupid guy refuse to install traffic lights there.. it's not as if traffic flow is low at tt junction, so as to warrant it being devoid of traffic lights.. also, e recently added plants and barriers just only served to further inconvenience jaywalkers, although not to e point tt they will be obedient and start using e not-so-nearby zebra crossings.. i seriously think whoever has e power to install traffic lights there but did not do so, have no brains..
IT quiz. just completed it today.. had a sinking feeling when i saw my results on e screen.. got a 75/100 when e average was 78.2.. quite demoralising.. maybe it so just happened tt i got a more difficult set of questions.. bleh.. anyway, it seemed as though e tutor talked too much for once.. and for nobody's good.. he said tt it takes someone spectacular to fail e quiz.. which as it happened, was wat 2 or 3 students did.. and it was e first time tt anyone failed e quiz..
MAS801. just pray tt e mid-term test for this elective tml would end up better.. gotta go off now and start studying for it..
word count. so this ends my extremely long post.. lol.. all 1671 words of it..
k.. point not taken.. they keep asking for my details after i have typed finish my stuff and pressed e publish button.. so? so e whole chunk of stuff tt i wrote r lost.. so? so lousy service..
b4 i go on any further.. i think i better warn u tt this will be a v long post..

shall keep this post short and sweet... cos in a bit of a rush of time for my driving session... lol... having my 12th and 13th session later... let's see e progress so far... 11 sessions and i've covered 17 points in e training record book and 2 test routes out of e 29 points and 10 test routes... hopefully will be able to cover 6 test routes todae... although i think it might be a bit shag... haha... seems like my progress is quite fast... as commented by blandon and my instructor... well, isn't tt gd? muahaha... can save money and time...
have been having problems with engine stalling like 4-5 times in a session for e past few sessions (perhaps more? lol) but improving on it and yup, achieved 0 engine stall in e last session... ok... not 0, but e only engine stall tt happened wasn't really due to my fault... -.- now also more clear about moving off on slope using e half-clutch technique...
actually could have done like 3 test routes last session but was stuck at this u-turn for 10+min... and it was all because it suddenly seemed tt all e learners were learning this particular test route/u-turn at e same time... ~80% of e cars queueing up for e u-turn were L-plates? -.-
before i leave, i gonna set up another post to remind myself e stuff tt i need to bring to e hostel...

one week gone by without any driving lessons... resuming lessons e coming week... suddenly had e urge to play back those classic games of yester days... so i went to download wolfenstein castle 3D... one of e earliest FPS tt existed but despite tt fact, is quite a well done game for it's generation... and it's still e good old graphics, sound and game tt i played a decade ago... e boss's one tough guy to beat... at e 2nd easiest difficulty, i'm having trouble killing him... haha...
another great game of yester day, atomic bomberman, is one which provides endless hours of fun... lol... still can remember e times when we played it during computer lessons back in cchs... simple gameplay but addictive... downloaded e demo but it was very problematic... saying wat software had expired... haiz... really liked e game...
e worms series was another batch of great games... downloaded e worms armageddon demo only to discover tt after playing around with e game settings and team creation, i had time for just 1/10 th of a game before e trial time ran out... wasted my time downloading e demo... -.-
back to driving, i'll be learning u-turn pretty soon... probably on tues or wed... wonder how i'll fare... haha... just finished learning blindspot last lesson...
learnt from brandon tt his friend had also intended to join e NBS camp but was not notified of e foc briefing by e commitee, just like me... turns out tt e NBS foc is full... but e thing tt pissed me off was tt e commitee didn't have e decency to notify those tt had applied for e foc but failed to be part of it... alternatively they could have included, somwhere in e pamphlet, e point tt e situation of e foc reaching max capacity might happen... seriously no decency shown by e commitee...
and i'm starting to wonder if it's in e culture of NTU for such things to happen... 15 more days to start of school and i still do not noe which hall i'm allocated to... e foc mail sent by e student union arrived much later compared to nus (not sure about smu)... basically e effiency of NTU and of anything related to it, up till this moment, can be summarised in one word: sux
anyway, found a NTU webbie which might be useful... http://www.ntu.edu.sg/freshmen/
went to k-box at cineleisure on mon with tty and bra... lol... and i wonder who said tt he didn't like e idea of going to karaoke... only to grumble later tt 3 hours weren't enough... lol... anyway we bought a jug of drink in e 3rd hour and had a 4th hour free...
3 weeks has passed and tty's going back tml nite... yup... but it would be a more hushed down affair... not as many ppl sending him off compared to e other time... november!!! yes... november... come back then during 3 months break and we'll go k-boxing again! lmao... maybe by tt time u'll discover tt bra have a gf liao... lol... O.o
talking rubbish late at night... lololol...
actually i still have some other stuff tt i wanna type, but well... next time...
e lyrics writing for my friends has staled and i'm thinking of just setting them aside for a moment...
bra's finishing his novel pretty soon... chapter 19 of 20 now... gogogo! :)
was nosing around on google earth when i came upon these links: wisma atria live webcam, macritchie reservoir and singapore 360
be warned!!! you are being watched!!! muahahaha... dun forget to wave at e camera next time u go to wisma atria! lol...

started to learn driving 2 days ago... wish tt e accelerator become more retarded... still not used to it's sensitivity... a great diff from e M113 tt i drove in army... anyway... lol... had my 1st engine stall and mount kerb... hahaha... engine stalled cos i forgot to change to gear 1 when moving off... hahaha... and mount kerb cos i nv bring back e steering wheel to normal position fast enough after passing a sharp bend... -.-
yup, so at e end of e 1st session i'm already in e circuit driving in e outermost lane and by e end of e 2nd session i'm doing sharp bends... continuing on tt later cos my sharp bend still not gd... should be doing till traffic junction todae i think... and will be on public road by session 4? lol... then e road users will have 1 more road hazard to worry about ---> me lol...

forum thread containing link to pro jap pangster's BL -31: http://www.albatross18.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2387&PN=1&TPN=1
yup... finally blogging again... can't wait for uni to start... and ntu has at last made up it's mind to send e freshmen camp phamplets to us... but, NBS FOC, being one of e bigger focs decided to be dua3 pai2 and send their phamplet separately from e rest and a few days later too... -.- nevertheless, i think i'm going for e NBS FOC... well, not tt someone helped me made up my mind by saying tt if i didn't go for it, i would most prob end up being alone in lectures, tutorials and lunch breaks... to think tt she stressed it in bold somemore... -.-
tt made me think back to e orientation camp tt i had in jc and wat good came out of it... hmmm... anyway, i really didn't quite like wat i saw for e foreword of NBS FOC's chairman... looked so fake and making friendships forged in uni sound so transient... plain sad...
went to take a look at tomorrow.sg some days ago and saw this article on e recruitment of native speakers... and i went on to ponder on some other issues... if game forums are anything to go by, i think singaporean kids are in for a tough time in e future... wide usage of singlish and lack of impetus in constructing grammatically sound sentences... not tt i'm against e use of singlish... for i use it myself... but i think tt at e v least they should develop e habit of making their sentences grammatically sound...
hmmm... was looking at this photo of someone wearing a bareback dress and i thought tt bareback dresses looked just like a nice glam apron... weird thought... lol...
btw, i posted a crappy old msg tt i did some time ago on 10 may...
starting to learn driving soon!!!

can't belief i went to watch aquamarine... so girlish... pengz... another 'great' movie seen... lol...
think i must have left bra quite puzzled over who e main character for my 4th song is... haha... well, u'll noe when it comes out in due course...
and yes!!! i passed my basic theory! so easy... -.- final theory's on 12 june... and not sure if it's cdc website tt screwed up... there's no more lessons available for booking in june!!! nooooooooo~ how can like tt...
k, shall blog about my trip to genting tt time... so unfortunately, like e previous visit there, i didn't get to enjoy e outdoor theme park... sad... anyway looking at how genting has changed over e years, i think it still has a long way to go... when can it be anything like how disneyland is organised and customer-oriented? even if it's anything vaguely similar... e poor maintainence of e games/theme park hasn't much changed... and nooooooooo~ e fortune telling machine wasn't there! if u remember, there was this machine where u put yr coin in and this jap doll will enter a house, pick up a rolled-up piece of paper and drop it into e outlet for u to read... had wanted to have my fortune read again (since it was pretty accurate e previous time), but so sad tt it's gone...
however e main highlight of e trip was my 1st entry into e casino! huge place... grand, lavish, crowded, loud and jackpots aplenty... u'll find practically all sorts of gambling games there. esp those tt involve cards... particularly amusing was e digital roulette... there was this centrally placed roulette surrounded by kiosks where punters could digitally place their bets... and so at e beginning of each round, u'll see e digital roulette betting table suddenly ballooning up with all sorts of coloured chips...
looking at e amount of money tt ppl bet and e prizes listed in e jackpot's jackpot, u can only marvel at e seriousness of e whole gambling business and how some ppl will just bet tt one penny to try out their luck... u can get engrossed even without actually playing... tt's how dangerous a casino can be...
and yap, e casino runs 24/7/365... there's no clocks and no direction signs to e exits... so u won't noe wat time of e day it actually was... and e lack of direction signs acts as a way of luring u to play another round as u figure out yr way out of e casino...
21... can watch RA movies, go into casinos, but no voting and no progress package... wth...

so voting is on may 6 and my basic theory test is on next fri...
was flipping through e newspapers and found smth which i thought was quite amusing... this year's elections will be fought mainly in e east and north... haha... poor guys in e west... another election going by without any contest in their constituency... so ya... should be voting come may 6...
watched e dialogue with MM Lee e other time... surprising still v shrewd and crafty in his responses at his age... and i thought some of e participants were slightly over zealous and maybe rude... well of course e whole thing was supposed and was meant to be a two-way thing, but surely u could wait until e person in question finish his/her speech 1st...
but then again, such dialogues with leaders holding important roles are by and large hard to come by... which is really quite sad...
have quite a number of thoughts tt i wanna put down...
some days ago i went to e driving centre to take my trial basic theory test and there were a couple of foreign workers and non-english and chinese ppl in e room... so well, u were to type in yr user id and password and start on e trial test... with just 15min before e test ended, the instructor in e room discovered tt one of e foreign workers apparently had just stoned in front of e com all e while, nv logging in and start on his test... and so e instructor said: "hey brother... how come u sit there so long still haven log in? y u nv ask for help?"
hmmm... tt set me thinking... abt foreign workers coming here to work... in a place tt is so alien to them... abt doing this just so tt they can provide for their family back home... abt doing this so tt they can have a better future...
poverty nv fails to set me thinking... abt lots of stuff... abt my childhood... abt her... abt life... i think i'm more nostalgic than i ever thought i was...
haha... ying yue ri ji playing in e background just reminded me tt i've not listened to it for quite some time liao...
y is it tt we seem to have more hi-bye friends as we age? cos we do not want to commit ourselves to more relationships?
i used to, on quite a regular basis, send friendship sms-es to my friends... recently tt frequency has dropped by quite some bit... and during tt period in which i nv send any friendship sms, only 1 person continued to actively send me those kind of sms... it's only when i start to send sms again, like yesterday, tt some of my friends replied with similar sms-es... are friendships/relationships supposed to be like tt? a 1 to 1 passive exchange? deep down inside i seriously hope not...
