Two words: Must watch!

Thanks to Wee Chang for asking me along for the movie just now. The movie is great with power-packed actions, comedy and many pretty faces to look at. This time round is not machines against man, but more of the unity of machines and man versus the evil forces.

Ken, YY, WC, yi xiong, jq, zm were present and i believed they enjoyed the movie as much as i do too. I expected quite a bit from the movie and i wasn't disappointed this time round. For those who loves Car, there were some cool vehicles in there too.

Can't remember the last time i watch a movie. Glad to be watching a great film after missing out so much good movies earlier this year. Next up: Harry Potter^^

That's all im going to share. My suggestion: GO CATCH THE MOVIE ! :)

P.S. Remember to book online as the tickets are still hot on demand.

we came so far and this shouldn't be it. that's not possible.
i believe there's a reason we are here.
but what if you are wrong? im not, because i believe.

Thankful

Realise i have been taking things for granted lately. So today i shall make a post to write about them.

Let's start from the morning:

Im thankful that my mum is around to wake me up when im lazying in my bed.

Thankful that breakfast is already on the table (prepared by my mum).

Grateful that my clothes are already washed, ( im like a little prince at home, i seldom do the housework. Im guilty and lazy at the same time =x) so that i can start off the day with clean uniform/clothes.

Thankful that i have enough money to take public transport, i can't imgine the trouble i face if i do not have $3 per day just for transport.

In the afternoon:

Im thankful for the wonderful people whom i met in camp. My army friends; K.C, Gary, John, Raymus..... (and the list goes on) who keeps me company throughout the long day in camp and brightening up the atmosphere in camp.

Thankful for the instructors who took care of us and the officers for their " whole-lot knock it down 20"

Thankful that my stomach is always full. Lunch in the cookhouse for my standard is considered good. If im hungry i know that the canteen is available. If the canteen is close, i still have my coins for the vending machines:)

Thankful that i can book-out everyday and return back home. Although sometimes i will complain the long journey to work and the hassel to wake up early in the morning, i find that it still beats staying-in.

In the evening:

Im grateful that dinner is always there for me when i reach home.

Thankful that i have heater for shower so that i can take a warm bathe when the night is cold.

Thankful that the refrigerator is always full of milk, chocolate, jams, fruits. Basically food that will fill my stomach and my sweet-tooth.

Thankful that the water/electricity bill was settled so that i can use the internet, fan, TV, operate the washing machines......

In the night:

Im thankful that i have a shelter over my head, a cosy bed and my family around.

Thankful that i have peaceful night every night i knock off to bed.


im thankful for all that i have, but at the same time, i want more.
im contended, but the search for more keeps me going.
to be better, smarter, wiser, and posses the ability to return the blessing that i have.

-No title-

Sorry for not posting for so long. Internet connection was down due to the worn out cable.

Many events took place during these two weeks. Maybe when im free this weekends i will have a narrative posts on the events. I suspect i have STM; because im unable to remember something that just happened a week ago. So it's good to have a planner and this blog to write down the happening in my life inorder to remember them.

By the way, my new camp that im posted to after BMT is at Ayer Rajar. OETI, Armor Technician. Im going to learn how to fix tanks. Interesting vocation and im hoping to get the best out of it. Learning more about machanics can be quite alluring to guys, especially when it requires a little physics:)

I will travel pass NUS everyday. And whenever im going back home, i will take a look at the school. Initially it was quite saddening to see it. But after seeing it more often, i feel that i really want to enter NUS FOS. Everytime i pass by NUS, my heart itch a little. I shall try applying it again next year:)

Work has been okay so far, tomorrow will be the start of our first theory lesson.

Felt bad that i neglected this blog for awhile. I shall be slightly more diligent and blog at least once per week.^^

im back, im growing up.

University Admission

It was finalise about my appeal into NUS FOS. Didn't manage to get in. So i suppose i will going to NTU. I don't think i will be applying for NUS the following years.

I was talking to SY only to realise that i was actually very lucky to get into NTU. We had a friend who scored about the same score as me. Her GP was just a grade lower than mine and she didn't manage to get into the school. Phew~ I was so close to not even getting to a school? I should count my blessing for even entering into NTU.

I had another friend, who scored a lot better than me. She appealed for a tougher course and didn't get into any schools. Now im a little worried for her. For guys we can apply 2-3 times because of NS, but for the girls, they will have to wait for another year. Her results are really good. I wonder what are her plans.

Sometimes seeing others misfortune will i realise how fortunate im. But of course i wish all my friends well and not that i want to see their misfortune. Hopefully they have their path planned.

NTU Biological Science

I woke up late last night around 12plus 1 in the morning after i fell asleep on the sofa; and it was after i had a nightmare of a friend death.

But anyway, this post is not about my nightmare. Waking up late in the night with everyone sleeping can be a time for deep thinking because the night seems so peaceful and quiet. I was thinking of course again about getting into NUS Science. As the day went by, the hope of appealing into NUS Science seems to be slimmer. I think im starting to give up hope into getting NUS Science.

I took out the printed version of NTU cirriculum to look through. Then i took out the acceptance letter from NTU. I saw the NUS rejection letter with it.

Maybe going into NTU will be a better decision. With Warren's theory of a " Big fish in a small pond" rather than a "Small fish in the Ocean". Anyway, i don't even consider myself a big fish. If i get into NUS Science will i just be an algae?

I think i deserve where im going to after failing to do well enough for my A level.

Lesson learnt. I will place my focus better next time.

No matter where i go, i will put in my best.

Now i will just wait for NUS reply, but this time i don't hold much hope.

BBQ!

Went out with Li qi, Yong jian, Jasmin and Li ping on 12062009 to ECP for BBQ.

Had lots of fun the whole day with a group of wonderful friends. Too bad jia wasn't around because she really missed out plenty of fun.

Okay... let the pictures do the talking^^

On 9/6/2009

Went out last tuesday with Jason to watch Terminator Salvation. When was the last time we get to watch a movie together? Hmm.... Two years ago? It has been a long time. Girlfriend equate to no friend right?^^ But anyway, saw someone who's not suppose to be at Causeway Point at that time, u owe me a meal:)

Anyway, the movie was great. In fact i think i enjoy most of the thriller movies. Find that there's a great interest on the topic between HUMAN and MACHINES on the movie screen. MATRIX, TERMINTOR SERIES and TRANSFORMER. Maybe there are more areas for creativity on working with machines. Simple plot, graphic is good. For those who like thriller, recommanded to watch. If those who need to save up, spend it on Transformer instead. It's coming soon:)

After movie we headed down to RP to play badminton. And yes im extremely rusty. Great to be back to playing. I didn't enjoy playing as much in the past because of the competitiveness. But now im learning to appreciate and enjoy the game much more. Coach was there, former trainees from Boon lay CC, MSL player. My wrist hurts a little and I think it's time to change a racket.

RP was having camp in school. I was actually planning to just play and go home. Zhi hong asked me stay, and i eventually stayed on and chatted with him. Jason left early. We talked plenty of stuff in the night. We talked about life, girlfriend, friends, plans and events which i was shocked. Shall not elaborate further. Highly confidential:) haha...

We talked till 2plus in the night before sleeping beside the pull up bar just beside the track.

That was how life used to be for me. Staying out late in the night doing nothing productive and just spending time with friends. Used to doing that at Jason's house. But he's now busy with army and girlfriend. But it's okay, you are forgiven:)

badminton, night, friends.

random

This shall really be a random post, no focus. Just my random thoughts on the events that happened to me or around me that im interested in and hope to type it out:)

MAN UNITED LOST IN THE CHAMPION LEAGUE!!!!!

Although it happened quite long ago, but i still feel kind of sadden about the lost. History of a club winning a back-to-back title wasted. Heard from Huai that they played badly for the finals. Didn't get the chance to watch the final as i was in camp. But anyway, i don't have subscription to the cable TV too. Im missing out so much sporting actions since my mum cancelled the subscription 3 years ago just before the start of the world cup. ZZzZzzz.... Really hope i can subscript it once again. Wait till i can afford it^^

FEDERER WON THE FRENCH OPEN!

I don't think he's back to his top form yet, but nonetheless he still won the French Open two days ago:) Im glad that he won the title after so much struggle. His tears after the final point clearly show how much the win meant for him. And im glad he did it. I wonder what will be the outcome if his opponent was Nadal. It may be a different story. Let's see how he perform in the Wimbledon that's coming up in 2 months time. Hopefully he will meet Nadal in the final, on grass. Hopefully by then i will have the TV channel to watch it. Sharapova got knocked out somewhere in the French Open, which i can't remember:(

Im going to stay home to watch the Aviva Open semi and final.

I WANT TO START PLAYING OTHER SPORTS!

May be attending a diving course with Huai soon, hopefully Mr Lee will be free to teach me tennis too. If i'm going to get a posting near my area, i will consider getiing a bike:) (bicycle, not motorbike). I think my mum will kill me first before i meet with some accident on motorbike. Riding a motorbike has been on my mind recently too. Of course i will prefer to get a car compared to a bike. But looking at the prices, a car costs around 50k, while a bike 10k. A second-hand bike can go as cheap as 2k. For my personal transport purposes getting a motorbike may be a better idea. By the way, im quite sure i want to join a SPORTS CLUB when im in UNi. So i will have two CCAs. The other one will of course be Badminton. I will bear in mind that studies is still the main objective that i enter an institution. It was painful mistake that i made in Ajc.

POC!!!

Finally i can say goodbye for the last time to Tekong! Passed-out from my BMT after the 7 weeks of ....... Can't find a word to descript the feeling. It's a mixture of tough time, boring time, waste time, and definitely a memorable time which i did not expect to have. Army do bond people together. And if im going to a challenging course, i believe the people whom i eat, sleep and shit together will be alot closer. Thankfully i got a group of bunk mates who are extremely hilarious and made my time there so much fun. I didn't plan to bring so much back from tekong, but indeed i had. Will be meeting up with them tomorrow:)

Time to catch up with so many people after a long time in army. Family not so much this time because i have always been at home when im back home. Time for me to get more sunlight. Starting to realise that poly students are all so busy with their projects. Hard to get them out too. But there are still Qi and friends who are willing to put their projects aside and spend some time together. 09 people planning to go on yacht. And i want to go and play some badminton. Im getting rusty.... Hopefully jason, alan, seng will be free for movie today:) I hope that all these plans are not just verbal and eventually cancelled.

FUTURE HOME

I was having random thoughts about how my future house is going to look like. It was most probably after my Er jie and her boyfriend planning to get a house. Im thinking and thinking. And realise that i don't like my house to be quiet. So i will vacant a room for my friends to meet up maybe every weekend. An open space to hold half a basketball court, a badminton court, swimming pool, street soccer court; so that my kids will get to experience all kinds of sports. I will have a big dinning table so that my sisters can come for dinner. Basically that's it for now. I know it's kind of random, but i think it suits the title of this post, so i included it in. I know people may think that it's ridiculous, but no harm day-dreaming. Never know it may come true^^

NUS SCIENCE

I think this has been on my mind most frequently. I know i want it, badly^^


what if everything i draw comes through?
