My Lunch =D

Another sign of my random "high-ness": I just enjoy praising myself. Lol! =D I know it's quite retarded of me, but please allow me to showoff my lunch. I feel that my veggie instant noodle lunch looks delicious. Haha! =D

KOKA Singapore style mi goreng with stir-fried mushroom
Soup with xiao bai cai and seeweed

Looks appetizing isn't it?! Haha! =D

Self praise is no praise, but it feels really good praising yourself! =D

Random, High & Anxious! =D

In very high spirits these days. Haha! =D Ming Yun, Yi Siang, my didi and Ben have encountered my "high-ness" and randomness. Like, I will repeatedly praise that my hair looks very nice (I seriously think so), suddenly sing in the middle of the road, and I'm extremely jumpy nowadays, etc. Sounds a bit like I'm attracting attention. Haha! =D Actually it's cos I'm very satisfied with what I'm doing now. No longer lazy around, doing everything knowing what I want from it even if it isn't fruitful. Feeling anxious about the upcoming challenges yet very excited about it.

Current challenge, which will be a long term one, is a secret project. So, shhh......

Next up, SITEX show. I can already feel how tired I will be for the four days. Anxious, lots of specs not haven't memorised yet. (I'll be at the Achieva Booth, right at the back of Hall 6, selling External Hard Drive, Media Player and Hard Disk.) =D

After 30th Nov, I have to go back to UOB. Really rusty le. Hope I won't be shivering when I count those cash after not counting so much cash for 2mths. Hope everything is still in the "back-up drive" of my mind. =D

Then, I'll be taking up another job, telemarketting. But have yet to confirm. Very interested in joining the team cos it'll be a totally new experience to me. I love new experiences. It's very obvious cos I usually leave a job after 1-2mths. Lol. Not a good habit, so will try to stay on in UOB till my contract ends. =D

Furthermore, I'll be taking my FTT but will only be able to start practical in January. I've enrolled in the school cos I don't have sources for private instructor. School will be better for me cos I'll have to pay for the practical lessons beforehand, so I'm somehow forced to go for regular lessons after I booked for them. But will only be able to get my driving license only by April, when the center has already shifted to Woodlands. The new circuit is three storey high, wonder how will it be. Sounds scary.

That's my current schedule for now. Plus, the upcoming 01 gathering. Hopefully my plan will work and will be able to meet up with everyone again! =D

Marina Barrage! =D

Yeah! Went Marina Barrage yesterday with Ben. It's a beautiful place. Just that we went at the wrong date. There was some event so was very crowded and noisy. Went to explore the place abit before flying our kite.

Snap snap! =D

It was a weekend so there were many families flying kite there. We went to a less crowded place and attempted to fly the kite. Ben was really engrossed in flying the kite.

Our first stop for our first attempt of flying the kite

Ben was really engrossed since the start

The kite didn't last too long up there

Still not giving up

After several attempts, we decide to use a new strategy; run down the slope. It's really funny watching how Ben ran down the slope in his attempt to make the kite fly. Haha! =D Later, we decided to move to the area down the slope where there was only one group of people there.

View from the slope

Ben failed again in several attempts to fly the kite. I tried, but failed too and concluded that it was more entertaining to watch Ben attempting to fly the kite. Haha! =D Later, I came up with an extremely brilliant idea; Poke holes in the kite! It worked! Finally, Ben succeeded! The kite flew very high and steadily. Too bad our string was too short, if not we could fly the kite higher.

Our steadily flying kite =D

We went out of string

Ben confidently holding the kite without looking at it

Even more confident, hooked it to the railing

The sky was full of kites and there were some interesting kites too.

Lots of kites

Cute smiley kite

Penguin couple kite

The night was falling so we let down our kite.

The night is falling

Ben with our $2 kite =D

The whole made by Ben in his attempt to retie the kite
(Plus the two holes I suggested, the kite was 'holely')

Nice view of the flyer

A shot with the flyer =D

Some shots on our way out

Another very fun day! Hope to go back there again! =D

Last Paper =D

Yesterday took Math Paper 2, which is also the last paper that I'll be taking. The thought that there were statistic questions made me not very confident sitting for the paper. But when the exam start and I flipped through the stats questions, I was relieved, so easy... Phew! So I confidently do the pure math questions first cos I'm much more confident in doing pure math. Able to do the stats questions but didn't manage to complete the paper again. Poor time management. Left out 2 questions. But quite happy that I was able to do the questions. =D

Yeah!!! Exams are over for me now. It's time to work, work and work now. But won't forget to play. =D

Went to Ink Bar Club with Ming Yun and Yi Siang last night. Due to Apec, the security of the hotel was heightened. Have to pass through the security check before entering the hotel. Wasn't familiar with the place but still managed to find our way to the pub. The pub was quite dark, with a Caucasian singer singing jazz songs and pretty waitresses with nice sexy figures. The ambiance was not too bad.

Flipped through the menu. Was wowed by the long list of beverages. Ming Yun and Yi Siang ordered Lychee Martini and Vodka Sprite respectively first while I was still deciding what to order. Saw this 'Blue Martini' and decided to order it cos it has Bombay Sapphire, which I'd tried before, and it's blue in colour. Haha! =D Nice drink, just that it make me really high after drinking almost half of it.

We kept snapping with flash. I bet the Apec people beside our table were damn irritated. Perhaps because they're Japanese so didn't voice out their displeasure. Anyway, we cai quan too. Was really lousy at it but still managed to win some round. At first was one to one with YS. Later three of us played together. I was feeling really high, especially when I win, cos I lost most of the matches. Haha! =D At the last few rounds, MY and YS had the taste of how strong my alcohol was, cos only I had some drinks left as I drank sip by sip everytime I lost. I admit, I was the most drunk that night, but I was still sober.

Still waiting for the other photos in MY's cam

Cabbed back home cos we missed the last bus and train. Ben booked out that night so wanted him to fetch me, so that we could spend some time together. He insisted that I was drunk cos I was high and kept blabbering non-stop. Haha! =D

Feel that pub is really a nice and cosy place to hang with friends. Enjoyed myself very much last night! =D

General Paper =(

Today's paper was quite simple actually. Definitely much easier than the previous years' paper. But I screwed it up. For paper 1, did this question: "To what extent does technology has impact on both privacy and security in your society." Something like that. Easy, right? I spent 30mins brainstorming and ended up handing in only a 2 page long essay. Similar to last year ba. For paper 2, it's about work and play. The passage was understandable and the questions were relatively easier than last year's. But didn't manage to complete AQ again, only had half a paragraph, so it's the same as not doing. In conclusion, I think I'll fare more badly this year.

Anyway, shall put GP aside le. Friday's Math paper 2. Statistics!!! So scary. Still have to try my best. Challenged jihui. If I managed to do better than her in Math, she will have to quit smoking. It's both an incentive and disincentive to me. I want her to quit smoking yet I want her to do better than me. She has studied exceptionally hard this time round. Though she may not be as diligent as everyone else may be, she has put in the effort to stay focus and try her best. Admire her will. Hope my challenge to her is able to motivate her to study double hard and be enlightened to the logic in Math. =D

First Paper =D

Was feeling quite excited for the paper today. Don't know why. Maybe cos I don't feel burdened or stressed by the past failure. Met jihui first. First time seeing her wear a bottom which is below knee length. The most decently dressed. Haha! =D Anyway, we saw Jimmy Goh... Suey la. As most of you know, I don't like him at all!!! Ok, I've complained to enough people le, so shall not complain anymore.

The atmosphere in the classroom with other private candidates was unlike taking with so many schoolmates in the hall. Didn't feel pressurised at all. But can see some quite nervous. One don't know how to reset her GC. Think I'm more confident with this paper than last year, though I was stunned by the first two questions. At least I didn't skip too many questions. But paper 2 will be a killer. Statistics stands 60%! Hope I could survive ba.

Tomorrow's GP paper le. Hope I'll be able to come up with some things to write. Just thinking about it makes me kind of stressful.

Thanks to those who wished me and encouraged me. =D

My Decision

Tomorrow's the start of 'A' level. First paper is Math Paper 1. I'm still blogging now, goes to show how much 'effort' I'm putting in for the exam this time round. Anyway, I've thought through carefully. Decided to stop studying until I find the drive to. I never expected myself to stop studying at this age. Was struggling when making this decision. But found the courage to come to this decision after talking to some people. To those who have hopes for me in my studies, I apologise for being a disappointment again. Hope you all won't think that I'm making a foolish decision cos I'll return to studying in the near future, but not now. This may not be the right choice, but it's the best to me, at least I will enjoy what I'll be doing.

Now that I've given up a burden, I feel so much lighter now. For my other problems, I realised there's no point if I kept thinking and trying to find a way to solve them all at once. 发现我是在钻牛角尖。 I still have a very long way to go, but very little time to spend. I can't afford to waste time thinking so deeply and worry about my future, I have to do something. Whether or not my time is spend wisely or my decision is right, at least I have used my time to do something instead of nothing. I shouldn't spend my time thinking and doing nothing. My plans for the future? I still don't have a goal yet. So what? Time won't stop for me.

Anyway, in a dilemma now, again. Haha! =D Should I change to a full time job or stick to my current PT job? Was planning to take up another one or two PT jobs but was tempted to take up FT admin or secretarial job after browsing through the ads. Haha! Guess I just enjoy job hopping. Another thing, I may be working for this year's SITEX again if I'm selected. Wasn't too keen at first but didn't want to be a spoiler. Haha! =D

I'm going to start learning driving after I pass the FTT. Have yet to book a test date though. It'll be fantastic if I know how to drive, can travel around more convenient... I guess... If I don't get lost! Haha! =D
