Hey Hey!! Missed me?
08.29.08 (1:23 am) [edit]Haha, was lazy to do any posting lately... anyway, just some updates... our pet Beanie died back in SG =( about 1.5 yrs old... so sad, our 1st pet died and we were not there... but I'm thankful to Shirley for taking care of Beanie while we were gone.. something sad also happened to a friend's mum recently and it just brought back memories when she passed away 2yrs back...
Anyway, school has been boring and I've been studying more than what I have done in my whole poly life... The writing course is killing me haha and there is this one lecturer whose course is so screwed up I just dun feel like attending her LTs and Tutes anymore... but then I'll just have to attend... no choice...
Going to SeaWorld tomorrow =D wanted to go there so many times just did not have the opportunity to do so till now haha and the best thing is that we got ourselves this Annual Pass haha 12 mths unlimited entry for just $99 each haha well going there twice would have recover the whole cost...
Also we may be selling the car soon, I'm not sure myself too... just hope it will be a wise move... the car just had another problem, the alternator needed replacement, and we had enough of such problems haha.. still, it was an experience esp when u are dealing with a 14yrs old car... if after selling the car and Nick does not want to get another then I may or may not get one also.. it all depends... maybe someone would give me a car hahaha =D
Alright, really looking forwards to going back to SG.. I do miss my country, family, and friends... and the food of cos... today we actually went for a movie, watched Taken, and ate our dinner at this Thai & Malay restaurant.. the satay was $2 per piece haha damn expensive... but the taste of some asian food is yummy =) not that I don't like my usual McDonalds but even so I missed SG's McDonalds.. hahah coming back after 15 Nov hehe see ya all!!
Urgent Vs Important
08.16.08 (2:30 am) [edit]In my secondary school days, I had a teacher who taught me to manage my time by differentiating what are urgent and what are important.. Till today I am still unable to do it.. Whenever I want to study which is important, I felt tired and needed a rest (to me rest is urgent) haha so I rest most of the time.. I am trying to find back those times whereby I woke up feeling fresh and ready to tackle the day but I have not been able to find that feeling for a long long time... I know how to find it though, I need to exercise so my mind will be fresh but I just cannot seem to find the time and will to do it.. even when the weights are just at the living room I would still rather sit down on the couch and watch television programmes.. I just writing something that came to my mind, I am still trying to study hard and now I am even starting revision early and along whenever lectures has ended that very day.
Well I guess hardwork is not easy, it takes alot to become successful and that is why many people felt so happy when their hardwork had paid off. I hope I will be able to feel this by the end of this semester =) Cheers for myself and keep working hard haha, goes out to all those who are also studying!
My Belated Birthday Present & NDP 08
08.10.08 (2:07 am) [edit]Was shopping after lunch around in Indooroopilly Shopping Center yesterday after Baobei's lesson in school and then just wanted to play some games so we went into this toy shop and then I saw this very nice 60th Anniversary Scrabble board game and bought it... Baobei paid and said it was my present for my birthday haha =) I did not really wanted a present but since she insisted oh well =D We came back and had two games before we went to bed as Baobei was tired and I knew she was too tired to play a third game... but still I enjoyed playing games with my Baobei.. Spending time with her just doing some simple stuff is very relaxing and fun, just enjoying the company of each other is more than enough, quality not quantity haha, and that's something I like about my Baobei =)
Then today it was National Day and I did not go to the school to watch the parade but instead watched it online through CNA live, the quality was not very good but alright, it's free anyway... I like watching the parade segment, I not the hard core die for Singapore kind but I like my country and I'm proud of it, maybe that was one reason why I "sign on" and decide to serve my country =P there are things that I don't like about my country but overall I'm still very supportive of the government and the things they want to do.. Well let's just say without their hard work we would not be enjoying what we have today =) Go SG!! =D
Writing
07.30.08 (2:14 am) [edit]This semester I'm actually taking a course on Fundamentals of Writing from the Faculty of Arts. Initially, I wanted to take something simpler like Academic Writing, designed for non-English native speakers, so I thought since I do speak English back in Singapore, I thought it would be more challenging for me. I guess I would try to do well but I have got a lot of readings on some simple English terms etc. I have got to do so I would understand the lectures and their contents more. Anyway, I’m taking this course also because I feel that I needed something to improve my writing and English and since I’m not able to do a double major in my degree due to my exemptions, why not take the chance to do something about it, so here I am taking this as one of my level one electives.
So far, been attending one tutorial and two lectures on this course, I have felt a pressure just by not being able to associate certain things mentioned in lecture till look up the dictionary. I guess nothing comes easy and free, hard work has to be put in somehow, nevertheless I will try my best to maintain my GPA.
One of my assignments in this course is to write blog entries, and it must be reflective entries regarding writing issues. It just made me think and realised sometimes my entries are also more descriptive than reflective. Therefore I shall improve on this as much as I can possibly do.
Alright, I have been surfing the net for the past few days looking for a new wallet and I managed to find some interesting wallets that I can buy. There is this one from Dosh , and this one from Ogon . Tomorrow, I will be going to city to see if I can find the one from Dosh costing only A$50 and see if I really like it or not. If I don't then I might just consider buying the Ogon one online, but it will be more costly since it is from France with the wallet costing €32 in addition a delivery cost of €23.
Fishing!!
07.26.08 (3:23 am) [edit]Well, its a friday night after dinner at Arman's place, they intended to go fishing but there was no bait... so in the end got to go back home and take out pork and use them as baits haha =S
It was not the first time I went fishing, just that it was so long ago that everything seems so unclear how YH taught me then haha only when we tried then it all start to come back to me... Did not managed to catch anything but we will try harder next time, at least here I've got more time to fish haha, then when I go back to SG can find the gang and show them how i fish hehe...
Anyway it was so cold that my hands and fingers were numb and I could not really feel anything, Baobei tried to cast the lines and there was this one time she said how come the bait dropped to the ground even when she was holding the line haha apparently she could not feel the line as her fingers were numb too.. after awhile I just open my jacket and hug her and two of us shared the same jacket =) There were other people around also and they were like "ok we'll turn around first haha"... Those were just friends we made earlier in the dinner four girls, and during the dinner Baobei found an interesting thing, that is all of our names are "J" (Joyce, Joanne, jesslyn, Jacq, James, Junbin, Jinhui, Jeremy) haha only Arman, Thane & one girl by the name Yunshan... and one more... forget already haha... think is Natalie or something hehe...
The sky was so nice and we were just standing there doing some fishing and having Baobei wrapped up with me looking at stars hehe it was nice just maybe too many people and too cold... will arrange for another fishing trip and maybe a nice star gazing experience with Baobei one of these days... =)
A tour around my rented apartment
07.24.08 (2:09 am) [edit]
This is what you see when you enter the main door, its usually not so untidy, this was taken months back when we first moved in, and behind the curtain is our small courtyard, and the left side shows abit of our kitchen..
Our small courtyard...

Additions~~
07.24.08 (1:53 am) [edit]New additions to the family, today Baobei and I went to get another two rats as the previous two we bought from the Indooroopilly pet shop were one female and one male, there was apparently a mistake in their sexing of the rats and so we got to separate them before they start to mate and we end up with 30 rats =S We went to get our new two rats from this Taringa pet shop that we always visit when we go for our pizza on cheaper Tuesday. There was only one female left so we had no other choices so we got ourselves the one and only female and the other male. After everything we headed down to the other pet shop that hardly sells any pets but more of the food and stuffs and nothing much but in there I decided to get two cages for the rats to stay in instead, costed me $160/- Baobei was reluctant at first but I said I would pay for them and since we are to get pets we must provide them with at least something nice to stay in or something nice to play with so we choose to get them something nice to stay in.
Back home, there was a slight problem.. the rats were fighting.. maybe it was because we introduced the two new rats in their dominant environment but then we separated them and now just see what happens.
I also bought fishing rod today =D planning to try fishing here so went to get a fishing rod, simple and cheap. It was a shared rod with Nick and the idea was Arman and gang wants to try fishing also so the more the merrier. Tried fishing before back in Singapore with YH and we did not catch anything just enjoyed the chit chat session then =P..
Since Nick is back, its going back to the previous beef meals menu when it was his turn to cook.. I still prefer chicken or pork over beef, I only enjoyed beef noodles in Singapore =P After dinner we watched this Jamie Oliver show, it was about him, a cook, trying to tell people in UK about certain truth in certain food. Like last week he was talking about how junk food could kill you, there were all the different professionals coming out to talk about eating too much fats, salts, and oil. The convincing part of the show was most of the facts are regarding public audiences picked to appear on TV and about their diet etc, some might die in a few yrs time etc. And even an autopsy of a dead man showing all the damage the fats & oil has done to his body which eventually killed him. This week was about the chicken and egg, in short about currently chickens were ill-treated and unwanted chickens becoming food on shelves and how eggs are produced in battered environment etc. But, it does not really affect me in anyway haha cruel me...
Had another cookie baking today, Nick wanted to try also so today was more of letting him do the work while Baobei just guiding him through while I watched my shocking chicken show.
Alright school has started and I need to get back on track, but it just seem I’m still lacking some kick in the butt haha =S
Reflection of my ("v")
07.22.08 (2:11 am) [edit]Reflection? Hmm its about...
Firstly, why am I always in a rush to go to so many places at one time... I don’t know because I was sightseeing? Hehe... Well I wanted to explore every place I can find within that area as much as I can, also its not really a place worth staying long too really... or maybe I felt it that way, but I’m not always like that.. the Sutton beach was long, it was like the only place I planned to go around that area so we just walked the beach and pick sea shells and walked around... I guess its because of the intention I had for each place... If I had done my homework more I would have just visited one of the natural park, stop my car at the car park and get on feet and walk.. but it turned out bad and I had no idea what to expect so I was like trying to find somewhere nicer to make the trip looks better...
Secondly, how come I could fall asleep while my baobei is crying but turn sleepless over a car... this does not say the car is more important than my baobei... Its just that the car is not my alone and its a new experience for me owning a car and I had no idea what to do to it thats why it has been bothering me till I lost my sleep over it... My baobei is crying but I know I cannot stop her from crying and crying out will make one feel better afterwards so I just let her cry and hug her and fall to sleep =) Like now I could sure fall asleep even if the car is going to die tomorrow because I’ve already had a fair share of experience from the car and sure it no longer a big deal I will just dump it and get a new one... But I cannot dump my baobei and get a new one, and its only once, other times I still try to ask her why and tell her don’t cry etc but you know I can say all I want and she will still be crying... and I will just hug her and hope she will feel better and fall asleep =) I never meant her crying meant nothing to me at all.. Just that up to now sometimes I still don’t know why she is upset sometimes and sometimes she thinks about something sad and I don’t know she is sad...
Thirdly, why I say this place can watch sunset and not I do it.. haha simple I want to do it must say out loud? Sunset is not something I would plan just go and watch but rather something I would do in a package, like sunset at a nice beach while having a nice walk etc, I need to do homework and planning, telling Nick a place that he can bring is GF to watch sunset does not mean its a damn good place which might fit my plan or anything, it just gives me an idea I can watch sunset from here... but will I is another question.. will Nick? That is his problem haha, maybe I failed to be romantic and nice but I’m not sure myself either, I’m sure I’m not those fanciful people with very creative idea etc.. like how my candle light dinner turn out to be unromantic as well...
Sometimes I do think about why am I like that? It makes me think like why am I not doing what I've planned to do like the past and why am I not able to be creative and romantic... I'm not sure too my mind is just not thinking... I must say I'm not like the past anymore, I can't even study properly now haha.. think my brain power is dying... maybe I've been slacking too much till my brain lacks the ability to think anymore...
Alright I will remember all these in my mind =) I might be a lousy BF but I Love You baobei and for that please don’t blame me hehe muackz!!!
Beyond words ~~~
07.22.08 (1:33 am) [edit]Sometimes I'm not sure if what I'm doing is right or wrong... Like am I doing it right by saying yes or am I just being dumb if I say yes... She say no so I just take it as no etc etc etc...
She said my blog was just about the car more than about the times we spent together.. to me... its definitely easier to write about the car than about how I feel.. I’m a man of little emotional expressions.. I can’t even smile properly, she always say I look so fake or dreamy or dumb haha... When I was with her I felt just nice and right comfortable enjoying a view together and doing things together, but how to put it to words? I can only imagine every entry will be the same as I felt the same as long as as I’m with her, not that everytime there is a variety or vary every now and then right? I don’t even know anybody understand this sentence of mine.. All I can say is how I feel being with my Baobei is not something easy for me to put in words... if need be it will be happy, comforting, beautiful, sometimes frustrating, irritating, but that is how couples should be poking each other now and then irritating and being an eye sore once in a while =) and it goes on and on hehe...
Alright something we done today hehe, it was this DVD she rented “The Notebook”. I’ve heard about this show in the past, very long ago, but after watching it today, I’m not sure how to describe it but it was nice, it was touching, it was good watching with your love one beside you, though certain parts are like “alright move on” but the other parts of the show was nice and simple and sad too and ended not as I thought it would be but it was sort of a happy and sad ending.. Watch it boys and girls, learn to appreciate it haha =D

Car Test!!!
07.20.08 (2:36 am) [edit]Wao!! Went to Mt Tamborine yesterday and Lake Samsonvale today. These two road experiences were terrific challenges for the car haha...
Yesterday on Mt Tamborine, the slopes were like 14% steep and the car had a hard time climbing them but a fun time going down them, Mt Tamborine was filled with little houses and shops around with a lot of natural parks for explorations but we did not venture so far in, most of the time is where the car can stop and park and within walking distances. By the time we went there it was afternoon so we had time for a lavender shop and some small town shopping and some scenery views here and there but nothing really astonishing. Went to search for a Nut shop where they sold all kinds of Macadamia, managed to find the flavour Lishan wanted and bought some others to try... OMG!! ITS HORRIBLE!!! The sour cream ones are disgusting, preferred the chili ones haha =D Alright the car, haha the car really had a lost of power when its in lower gears, and the brakes are like shit most likely due to the steep slopes... well but the car made it eventually =) and for the first time the car went to 370km with one full tank...
Today at Lake Samsonvale, it was all about winding roads, worst than the NUS area there... there is this swirly area but here it was worst, and the road limits were like 80km/h hoho, well no worries, I only kept at 50km/h while driving and turning haha safety first and I don't really trust the car so... HAHA!! but it was mostly motorbikes I see in that area maybe they like to travel such roads instead of the normal highways, who knows.. Well.. in this area the GPS was not very helpful, most of the places I keyed in where out of reach due to mountain roads only suitable for 4WDs and some had to walk all the way to the top of the mountain just to reach so instead we looked for "Lookouts" around the area and headed for about four of them and on our way back had our first sunset viewing hehe!! Initially I wanted to had it at the last lookout but the sun was taking very long and the view was not very nice so we gave up and head back and on the way down I remembered we missed one of the lookout so I turned into it and had the chance to have our first sunset together =)... All these lookout were terrible though, every one of them were like blocked by the surrounding trees and felt like watching a far distance through a window... only two of them had the nicest view with unblocked or rather a wider unblocked view of the natural scenery =) The journey back home was long, and 90% of it was inside the mountain so swinging left and right alone in the dark for like 50km before reaching some civilization... I wonder what would have happened if I had went up there with my last quarter of petrol instead of topping full tank before I head up... I guess we would have stranded up there =S but I knew this would have happened so I topped it up hehe...
The whole holiday were mostly about exploring areas around Brisbane and I have enjoyed all these especially with my Baobei taking photos and enjoying herself.. I wish to find more of such areas but maybe with some more homework done before I just depend on my dumb GPS for suggestions and road recommendations.. Alright school is starting soon and I've got to bring myself back to my books and start focusing on my studies, this time I need to get a higher GPA than last semester =S all the best to me!! =D
Holiday Ending Soon
07.16.08 (10:31 pm) [edit]One more week to go and its back to school days for us all. The car is back, and one bad news is it cost me $550+ to fit this time round, the good news is the car seems to be getting better after driving around today to Westend to buy meat in the afternoon and drives well towards Sunnybank. Its not as good as new but close to the condition I've initially bought it. I guess will discuss with Nick again to see if he still wants to sell the car. Dropped by city also to help Nick get a Crumpler bag his sister is paying for it. Cost $150 and its not as big as it looked online but he still wants it, oh well I just pay now its not my money =)
My Baobei made Prawn Dumplings today for me hehe... we cooked Shredded Chicken Mushroom Noodles for dinner and a big pot of dumplings, it tasted ok and in fact it was too much for three of us =S Feel so fun cooking together and doing something new. Hope we could do this more often hehe..
There is still the unsettled issue regarding the car rental refund, its beginning to piss me real bad and I'm going to go down and bang table soon, but I've always been a very nice guy, so I'm giving them till end of my holiday before I go over to the office and bang table =) cool? hehe!!
Final Round
07.15.08 (1:33 am) [edit]The car has been a big problem for me during this holiday luckily its during my semester holidays, but this affected my holiday plans with Baobei... so sorry... so sad...
Lets sum up what has the car & I been through... After the minor servicing, the coolant & brakes were changed, leak was found and gaskets & transmission oil were changed too. After which due to the change of oil the car transmission is dying as it does not like the new oil and its OLD so anything can happen... coolant leak so water pump & thermostats need to be replaced.. power steering hose gave way and leak so had it replaced... brakes still having some problems... tomorrow I will send it to KMart for one last time to have my coolant leak fixed, brakes cleaned, have my tyres checked if possible, replace my overflow bottle.. and hopefully after this, beside the lossing of power, the car would be fine and so we could sell it... this car is costing us too much $$ and too much time... I have my reasons for buying a younger and much expensive car, sometimes its just the quality & price relation but not everyone has that kind of money to spend especially we are all here to study and live off our own money... my mind now is to fixed the rest and sell it... getting another one after that is secondary..
But overall I can say I learnt quite alot from this car experience, like the coolant lost causing engine overheating, power steering gave way so driving without power steering, learning what is the right tyre pressure, changing the car radio, replacing the antenna, replacing wiper blades & also checking all those oils & fluids making sure they are full...
Anyway Baobei baked new cookies today haha, they look and taste abit different from the batch we made before, I told Baobei it was because this time round I was not doing it with her haha =P but it was alright, will master the art of baking cookie sooner or later hehe..
Feeling very... just sad and disappointed I guess... not able to have an enjoyable holiday with Baobei, causing so much problem for the car... non of these would have happen if I had not bring it for a minor servicing... maybe it will but, and also because of this spending so much money to change this and that, its not only me but Nick's pocket too... and me alone to settle this issue is driving me crazy as things don't get any better... but well...
Parks, Gardens & Beaches
07.12.08 (4:19 am) [edit]The past few days for holiday Baobei & I went to many natural places such as...
On the 08 Jul, we visited the QLD Museum & Sciencentre, haha we felt like kids in there, all the kids there during the holidays and playing with all those meant to teach them things regarding their body, actions, environment etc then upper level was ther animals where majority of the displays were stuffed animals and then there were also history about the people from the past and tats about it.. not exactly boring but it was not what I've expected though.
On the 09 Jul, we drove to the Mt Coot-tha Botanic Garden, it was a big garden just at the foot of Mt Coot-tha and it was huge but nothing much to see, it was early not many people walking around we went in and the flowers were beautiful but think because it was still winter some of the flowers are actually dying or dead... Baobei was taking photos of flowers most of the time.. I was not really into flowers as each indivdual but still it was nice overall... then there were ducks and birds everywhere hehe while I was having a simple tea with my baobei and she was feeding me something the bird tried to take it from her hand... omg... haha there there was this glassdome where inside there were these tropical plants and it was warm in there compared to outside... finally we ended the trip with a visit to the planetarium where we looked at some pictures of stars etc and left..
I took out my GPS and searched for beaches instead, but in the end we did not managed to get to any of them, should have brought out the map and looked for the exact address instead hai wasted... most of the beaches I keyed into the GPS was "Your destination is unreachable by land" charted off the land... into the sea =S well will try one more day going to the nice and clear beaches soon...
On the 10 Jul, we woke up quite late and went to the QLD Maritime Museum at Southbank. By the time we reach there we did not have too much time to walk around so it was rather rush, I went onboard the old ship and took a quick tour around it. It was not very exciting but still it was something new, as it was decommissioned there was nothing much inside but still there were the simple things where I managed to explained abit to Baobei. We took some interesting pictures like sitting on the guns and act like we were using them hehe... and I took many pictures inside the ship herself. I did not like history so in the main building it was like just walking around, I was just looking for some interesting artifacts to look at like the ship models etc and I spent money buying the tea-towels with the flags and knots on them. Baobei ask me why I like to buy tea-towels, and I told her its not I like but the design I like only comes in tea-towel hehe... Then we went to watch a movie "Meet Dave" it was hilarious haha everyone laughed out loud inside the cinema. I did not drive so we took the Citycat home. The winds were chilling and made my hands numb just by standing outside. I was imagining what would it feel like if MCV going at 20knots with this kind of winds... OMG!
Today, 11 Jul, we also woke up late as we did not plan to go to many places, only aim to go to the CBD Botanic Garden. While we were there, we alighted at the furtherest Citycat terminal we have ever went haha just another stop after Southbank actually but still hehe... We wanted to try to take from one end to the other but just did not have the time to do it yet, but it will come one day. The botanic garden was terrible with nothing much to see, it was more like a park instead and Baobei wanted to take photos of lilies but there was non standing in the lilly-garden. We had coffee there as well just to keep us warm and Baobei tried Latte instead of her usual Mocha =) I drink Long Black.. it was terrible... =S then I ate a hotdog and feed the remaining bread to the crow and pigeons hehe there were cute.. at least I did not waste my food.. then in the end we walked around and cross the bridge and ended up at southbank again and we went for a caricature drawing of both of us.. it was ok but Baobei said she look funny in the drawing hehe.. we watched another movie "Ma Ma Mia!" it was different from other movie, not say very nice but nice can watch =)... and one matter, we had dinner and it was terrible.. we ordered a seafood platter for two and a prawn sagawaki or something but the fish from the platter was hell fishy I could not even put it in my mouth for one sec and Baobei got to eat everything... so poor thing... she ate almost everything on that platter, the 4X oysters, the 3X cold prawn, the 2/3 of calamari, and 3X fish fillets =S I only ate the few prawns from the sagawaki and some calamari... the fish was enough to make me full...
Oh well I wrote too much hehe but it was for the past few days so I guess I'll just end here haha =D oh yes Gary entered NS le will pray for him ahah Commando...
05 Jul 08
07.06.08 (11:56 pm) [edit]It was a bad bad experience man, got the car back from the center and wanted to go for supper and then to Mt Coot-tha for a nice night view with Baobei having our mac there... then it happened... the car could not go up the ramp leading to the main rd... WTF!!! THE CAR ACTUALLY COULD NOT GO UP THE RAMP EVEN AFTER I RAMP THE RPM TO 4 AND SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF MY EXHAUST!! this is terrible man... the next thing that occurred to me was how am I going to get this car out everyday in such a state... Eventually I did after a few tries... and then on my way the car felt weird, I had to hit a RPM of 3 just to reach 60-80KM/Hr, and when my car stopped at a traffic light after braking... it would not move after releasing the brakes... as if like the brakes are too tight holding the car, the most disappointing thing was the leak... there was more leak than before, AND IT ALL HAPPENED AFTER THE SERVICING... how can such a thing happen man... Now I can't even enjoy my little holiday and have to push my Zoo trip to after the car has been fixed and this time I don't know what would be in for me... Higher cost? Longer time? Even worst state after this repair... TMD... cannot even give me a piece of mind... why does shit always happen haha...
Anyway YongQuan came on Sat morning... I was so scare my car could not make it out of the ramp, and also how much petrol I will be wasting... this is crap... alright anyway I just had movie and abit of shopping at Southbank, not yet brought him to CBD or Uni yet... tomorrow will be sending him to uni for his APP first before I head down to the service center, to give them my incredible experience.. I have always been a very nice guy and I don't wish to loss my temper on Monday..
02 & 03 Jul 08
07.06.08 (11:29 pm) [edit]Haha 02 Jul was the day I 1st lay my hands on a dough haha... It was the day I made cookies with my Baobei.. initially wanted to do it alone to surprise my Baobei for a make up for our anniversary but she said is she ask me to do one so not counted must do together, so we had to do it together =S. It was fun, following the recipe and stuffs... though the cookies could be improved but my Baobei liked it alot =P Me too I think it was nice also haha not bad for a 1st timer... the only thing is instead of cookies it was a BIG cookie haha the dough was flatten and spread all around the tray joining each other.. of cos I broke them up after baking and its all in a box now hehe.. will try to do it again 1 day... this holiday will be trying alot of cooking etc from recipes online hehe... not trying to be a cook but just wan to try something new now and then..
03 Jul was a makeup for the 03 Jun we missed during exams, had prepared the recipe and food the 2days b4 and told Baobei to stay in the rm while I cook and prepare the candle light dinner haha... there was a nice pepper chop with mesh potato but the chop was too small not enough haha how I know the meat strung after I cooked it hehe... and there was the candle.. and doggy... but my baobei say not romantic de... =( hmmm I dunno how to be romantic la... but I tried and I failed miserably haha nvm I will try something else... maybe there was no music and no dance.. at least the food was nice hehe not all too bad though yeah!!
Semester 01 08 Results
07.02.08 (3:43 am) [edit]Was damn nervous when I know today the results will be out in 2359 when it turn 02 Jul. I knew I did not do very well so I was just praying I don't fail any of those subjects. Here are my results FINM1401 - 6 FINM2401 - 6 RBUS2900 - 5 MGTS3606 - 4 Avg GPA 5.25 oh well, in short I got only 2 distinctions, a credit & a pass. Apparently I did better in my numbers modules, I used to fail FINM2401 in Poly so I was so scare I would fail again haha.. ok just let me console myself 1st I did not do so well in my MGTS3606 becos of the presentation. I only just passed it and so... alright enough of bluffing myself haha.. its true I just passed my presentation but I could have done slightly better to achieve a 5 or something.. anyway my reflection is to start working hard towards my next semester, something lishan told me and I will do it before semester start is to try studying in a different method. oh well its life, u got to work hard to earn the things u wan so I've got to pull up my GPA for the next semester =) Oh ya my Baobei got a Avg GPA of 7... meaning she got 7 (high distinction) for all her modules =) happy for her and i know she is very proud of herself I am too I need to work harder to get more 7s haha I WILL!!! I MUST!!! I CAN!!!

06.14.08 (1:11 am) [edit]Its almost the end of today, I've slept only like 4hrs disrupted since yesterday. I did not managed to complete my paper due to one question not knowing and cannot think of any examples. Time was not on my side today, I seldom have no time to complete my paper. =( and I've just got back my assignment grade did very badly, 61/100, meaning my paper today plays an important role... hai...
the garage remote is killing me, I've bought a wrong one as the model I had is actually an older version with 27MHz receiver instead of the 433MHz I checked online... and if I convert it to a 433MHz it must use tat remote of the conversion kit. Or I can just buy another 27MHz control instead, no matter how the 433MHz is a sunk cost, therefore I decided to get another controller instead of the more expensive kit. something I learnt in FMGT haha
Its another 5days till my last paper and after tat will be our little holiday by ourselves, before we go on those trip, I will do my cookie and candle light dinner using the candle her friend gave her haha =D
