Counting Down...
Another 2 more weeks... 1 more week till camp and 2 more weeks till ITP. A few days more to my SAT exam. Busy studying for it. Hope i can get a good grade out of it. I was suppose to have study sessions with my ex-VP but i think her schedule is maxed out and we could not meet up. Well, she got to help her sister for her prom night. I remember my prom night. Man... We all dressed as formal as we could to have catered buffet dinner at our school hall. Man... It was really a flop. That momment, us guys just ate and later sat down to think of what to do next. But good thing we left our sports shoes in the classroom. We quickly went up to change our shoes and grab a ball. Next momment, we are sweating like pigs playing soccer at night. Haha... Firstly is only us guys, later on the girls came over and watched us play the game. Prom night, a night to remember. Yes, it is a very memorable night for me. Soccer at prom night. Nothing much to update now... It is all studying and reading. I guess having enjoyed most of your holidays, its time to study and sacrifice for hte future.

Update on Life
How long i left this blog static is very obvious. I should have updated it daily. But its the holidays now and i usually do not have much problems. Nothing much happens during the holidays. I myself do not know what to blog so i do not want to blog the usual boring stuff that happens around the house. It will be very very very very boring. Even now as i blog i feel boring. Maybe after i find some fun activities to do... Then the blogging will begin to liven up again.

Sound Test
What a long day it is for me... In the morning, i met up with some of my friends and we headed down to Creative Building to buy products which are at discounted price. When i went over, my budget was actually $200. But i guess good buys are my weakness. Such good products at such cheap price... A technie like me, how can i forgo it? So i got myself another set of speakers and a new soundcard. Went home with happy. Dropped my stuff and brought my brother out for a movie. We watched The Incredibles. A pretty funny movie with a mystery ending at the end. Till now, i still do not know what is the last member of the Incredibles family power. Very confusing. Anyone that knows what power he has, please leave a comment. Thanks in advance. I went back home again. Chatted with my ex-VP... Somewhat got scolded by her for not greeting her. Well... I was configuring my soundcard so i did not bother to chat with anyone. But since she messaged me, i just continued the chat with her. Doing two things at one time. It was not long before we stopped our conversation and continued our lives. I bet she must be dead boring at the company she is in. Hope the boss do not torture her and let her leave the company early. She also fell sick yesterday. Pray that she will get well soon.
After installing that new soundcard, its a totally new way to listen my music. The music was really powerful and the sound quality is awesome. The set of speakers i bought was meant for my PS2. Now playing on my PS2 is totally different. I got slight surround sound now while playing games. Experience differently now by replaying all the old games i have. I have to admit, i am really a technie. I like to own the latest gadgets and hardwares. Things that look good, should sound as good too. A Singaporean life is so stressful, the only entertainment that we can easily reach are two types; the Television and the Radio. So if these are our main source of relieving stress, i do not mind spending money on it. Well, i do not mind spending money too if it brings me happiness.

Long Break
We just had a long break in Singapore. We had a straight row of holidays among the weekends. So... I got kinda hooked up with alot of things and left my blog to rot online. I afraid that most people also don't realise that. I spent my birthday during that long weekend. Had a fruitful birthday weekend. On the actual day i celebrated with my friends. They asked me out to have lunch, so i expected them to pay for my lunch. It is so expected... After that, i met up with my ex-VP. She had some personal problems but i just brush it aside and accompanied her all the while. I am a man with a major weakness; unable to see girls cry. If i see a teardrop or a sniffle from a girl, i go crazy. I cannot control my thoughts and i will panic. Yes, panic. My worse weakness... Hope all the girls that read this would not use the same tactic to attack me. After that, on the saturday i went to the beach to had some fun under the sun. It was not very sunny, did not get tanned at all. In between there was this major rain. We hitched a ride on a 'train'. Rode the train on its usual route along the entire beach. Kinda crappy... When the rain stopped, we went back to our usual spot and continued our day. The gals left early and left us boys to enjoy the beach longer. Ended the day by having dinner together at mainland. We parted when the skies were dark. I did something that i regretted terribly. Maybe its luck, maybe it is something else. But i know i will keep it inside and regret on it forever.

Birthday Eve
Last entry was like so far away. Maybe due to the holidays so nothing much to record down. Today is a public holiday for Singapore, Deepavali. A celebration for all the Hindus in our sunny country. Woke up in the morning to find the sun shining hard on my face. A glance on my clock and found that it is near noon time. Man, the latest time i had woken up on this half of the year. Maybe the next time i will wake up that late would be near Christmas season, hope my friends do not challenge me to another drinking competition. Ate lunch soon after and watched TV PROGRAMMES all the way... My uncle came over with the intend to bring me to Little India, but it rained so we cancelled the trip. We killed time by playing a new kind of chess. It was bought from Germany. The game is rather special, two teams with around ten pieces buildings and you place your buildings around. It is a strategy game. We really killed time with it as it was really enjoyable. Play and play till evening time. Nothing much was done then... My uncle went back and im back to enjoying time with the tv again. A public holiday and im rotting at home.
Happy birthday to myself. That is all i have to say.
Happy Birthday Me...

Fruitful Monday
Another useful use of a monday. No blues, no sadness, a little setback for awhile but nothing big enough to hold me back. The day started when i suddenly pop my eyes open. After trying my best to go back to sleep, i gave up and went to wash up. Nothing much was done in the morning except playing games and clearing my table. It is always messy, do not know why... Just pack it not long ago, now messy again. *sigh* After that i messaged my ex-VP to see what i can do to entertain her. We chatted on the phone using messages. It is rather stressful on her phone bills with so many people to reply. Her com is down so we can't do some serious chatting online. She made an appointment with me to go down and 'cure' her com. Hope i can help her as much as possible so that we can both return to our normal lives. We met up in the afternoon to have our lunch together. When i first met her, i find her rather funny. Not comedy funny, but unusual funny. Not her normal self, something is wrong there. Maybe lunch would do her some good as i know she like to skip meals. So we went for some food and chatted a little there. The seats were... Eh... Somewhat memorable. I think this is something only me and her would understand. Haha... We continued our day with a little window-shopping on our way to Coffeebean. It was a rather long walk. By the time we reached the cafe, i think she must be dragging her tired body to the seat. We sat quite long at the cafe... Our favourite hangout point. A few sips of the coffee and she is on her way to pick herself up. Something that she always like. We did somemore window-shopping and this time was looking at some phones. Her target, Samsung E600C, was on promotional offer. We checked it out and it was on a rather affordable price. I urged her to get it while its on offer, she shunned it all and decided to think through it and maybe see whether she have her allowance from her ITP. I predict she will be getting it if she receives it. She bought some groceries before heading home. I accompanied her home as it was rather near. After i see her arrive safely home, i left her place and head for home.
My cousin was featured on the newspaper today. Check it out on Straits Times papers. I would like to talk a little about it. My cousin is autistic. Yes, he is. He could not express himself well when things do not go his way. He would bawl, cry and throw tantrums if things do not go his way. When i first heard that he was autistic, all i could think was how my uncle and auntie accepted the news. It was a heavy blow for them but it took them quite sometime to accept it. As an elder cousin, i do not pity him. But i admire him. He is one that does not give up easily. He has other talents too. He reads like a Primary 4 student when he is studying at Primary 2. He try new words where younger kids would shun the word. Everyday, he is willing to learn. But still like a kid, he still got alot of things to learn. He likes me and he respect me alot. All i can give him is the knowledge i learn and teach him the fun things that i do. I see him trying to complete the task really puts a smile on my face. Sometimes he say things that are totally inappropriate like saying that everybody is going to die when we are taking the Skytrain from one side of the airport to the other. Yes, i did laugh. But was laughing at his words, not him. He seeing me laugh, laugh along innocently. Now all i worry is his future. What would he do? How would he fend for himself in this world where there are many outside ready to bully them? I do not know how to help him, but i will always be there if he ever needs help. I will do my best to help him.

End of Semester
Nothing means the most to students all over the world. It's the holidays. Today mark the last day of the semester of my school. All my friends are now free from educational stress. Now is the time where i can find them and ask them for outing and dates. Haha... Nothing much happened today. In the morning i went to attend talks on University entries. I realise there are so many people there. All wanting to grab a place in the local Uni. For me... I do not know where i want to go? A local Uni with a simple degree? Or an overseas degree with something out of the box? I have been looking around for the degree i want... But local Uni do not provide such a degree, i guess its either overseas or local. Currently aiming three places; England, Japan and America. Sorry, Australia just do not have what i want... Too bad. After the talk, i had lunch with my team mates. I think it is the last time i can ever have lunch with them again. With lunch in our stomach, we head to a lab to upload our FYP project to the school's server. Yes, my project is chosen for exhibition. Applause please... I left earlier as i have to attend a driving lesson. When i left them, almost everything is done. My mind was thinking of the project all the time when i driving. Maybe its my passion for the project. I called them when i finished my lesson, just to confirm that everything is done properly and alright.
Universities... One school that i will enrol after i have completed my National Service(NS). Currently im preparing myself for the SAT exams. I know that i will need it soon. Two years in the army is a very short period of time. Well, most probably i might make new friends when i enrol into the Uni. It is the time of my life where i will be seperated from my current friends now. As we have different things to do and places to go. I do hope we can still be together like what we usually do now. If i go overseas, i will sure miss all my friends here. Especially those who are very close to me... My sis told me that i will survive pretty well overseas. I have a feeling that i can make it alive... But i just have this feeling that by the time i come back home and find all my friends, i may be the only one left standing alone with the degree i always wanted.
Friends vs Degree...

It's All Over...
I officially close off my relationship with my school academic year of 04/05 Sem 1. I have nothing more to do with it anymore. The day started with some noise from the construction site. Maybe its the economy, picking up means more work for the bangladshi workers. Prepared for school and left home soon after. Met with my current President, Logistics Head and Welfare Officer. The momment i stepped in, i know i will be out of place. All of them are studying really hard. We chatted for awhile and we went for lunch together. It has been two weeks since i have eaten from school. I guess i miss school food when i do not get to eat it regularly. After lunch, we went back to our club and continued to mug for our exams. Well... I did not mug much as i had done quite a lot during the two weeks. After awhile, we went to our respective venues for our exams. My exam was rather... Eh... Expected. I expected some to come out and most of them came out. So im quite happy with it. It was drizzling outside so i went to Clementi to read some novels. Realised that the rain has died down, i took the train and met up with my ex-VP. We walked about the shopping centre as she was looking for a thank you card for her company. She got some clothing from Giordano too. After so much walking about, we were tired. So we went to have our dinner. I ordered a plate of fried oysters, a couple of pan-fried dumplings and a plate of black pepper udon. Starting she had doubts on the udon, but when it was served, she did ate quite a portion. Haha... Halfway through our dinner, she remembered that she need to buy ham for her little sister. So we quickly ate our dinner and rushed back to the supermarket to get some ham. Good thing the supermarket was not closed. We got the ham and she bought a row of Yakult. We pay up and we left the place.
Nothing much to think or say... Its all written on top. Guess im using more time on other places now.
Dreams of dreaming...
