Exams Over

Yeah!!!

SAM Finals are finally over!! What a relief!! It's as if the world's burden have been lifted off my shoulders.

This time round, I was pretty worried about the exam. I did not feel prepared, and my inability to complete some questions in the past-year papers really left serious doubts in my head (especially Spec Maths). But, enough said about exams...this is the period of time I really love, which is Post Major Exam Period (:

Hmm..I got quite a lot of things to do in my Post Major Exam Period to-do list. But at least its the stuff I like. For example:


Football/futsal!!!!
(Note: I am not capable of a bicycle kick)


Lazing around


Playing games


Eating (:

As I promised David WYY, I opened a Facebook account on the night my last paper ended. I didn't realize so many people I know are in Facebook. Facebook is really the in-trend thing right now.

Hehe, tomorrow it's E3's trip to Genting!! Finally, our class first real outing. But I suppose the downside is that there are only 3 girls (although I think sometimes there are only 2 girls) :)

Is There A Need to Panic?

Today is Thursday already. Study leave is almost at the end, and with exams starting next week, I only dare to say that I am 50% ready to sit for the SACE finals. Gotta work harder!!!

Why is it that half the time when I am studying I find myself yawning and struggling to keep awake even though I had 6-7 hours of sleep the night before? And then suddenly I am wide awake when I am using the computer? One of the many mysteries of the human body....

This Is It

This is it.

No, I am not talking about Michael Jackson's upcoming movie. I referring to the moment when college life draws to a close. Today was my last official college day at Taylor's. After seven (seven!!) intense months in SAM March intake, it is the moment where we will be forced to part ways.

I still remember the first day I entered class E3. I was 5 minutes late, and close to 30 pairs of eyes stared back at me when I entered the classroom. The class was totally silent. I was like, 'Woah, I don't know anyone here. Gosh, it might be hard to make friends.' There weren't many seats left so I went to the back of the class and sat next to a guy who obviously went to NS. He was the first friend I made in E3. His name is Kar Yee.

From then on, for the first time in my schooling years, I found myself liking my class more and more. I am not much of an extrovert, but my peers in E3 were really a friendly, easy-going lot. Thus, much to my pleasant surprise, making friends wasn't a problem in E3. After Kar Yee, I got to know Avi (finish?) and Calvin. Then JJ, Karl, Yue Zhi and Dominic. After two weeks, I pretty much knew everyone in E3, from Soon to David WYY.

Right now, to think that we all are soon to part ways, really upsets me. I genuinely love this class. It was so much fun just being part of this class. Sure, I didn't participate in much of the E3's social activities such as the drinking session after mid-year (ahem), but I will forever cherish the time when we played futsal together, 'killed' each other in COD, ate lunch together and even the moment when we studied in the same class. Thank you, E3, for giving me such a great time in college. Everyone in E3 are equally important as it is every single one of us that makes E3 so unique.


Which other class play Pokemon? Only E3!!! (:
(Blame UG for the Pokemon craze)


Dr. Santha


Ms Isabel


Mr. James


Mr. Yap


I am sorry, Ms Lucia!!! I don't have a picture of you. I know we are a tough class to teach. My prayers are with you and your daughter. Thank you so much for teaching E3!!!





Avi getting 'raped'....








To sum it up, E3 rocks!!

It's Time to Study-lah


SAM Finals are just two weeks away.

Am I worried?

I should be, but honestly, no, I am not particularly worried.

I am just a little bit worried, just a little bit.

I am currently suffering from what is known as 'writer's block'. I can't seem to write anything worth reading at the moment.

Hmm, no, wait, let me try.

(5 minutes of silence)

Ok, I give up. Hopefully there will be posts in the future.

Where is your refuge?

I was browsing through my email when I came across this question:

'Where is your refuge?'

I sat there in front of the computer for a full minute, thinking of the right answer.

This isn't a particularly hard question to answer.

I am just not the type to dwell on 'sentimental' things.

I suppose my refuge when things are going hay-wire and everything seems to be against me is my room.

My room, despite its huge mosquitoes population, is where I can sit down and think things through.

This is where I sleep, dream and even fantasize.

This is where my collection of worldly possessions are located.

This is where I am taught the lesson of being neat, tidy and clean.

Not only that, when life is in the dumps, when I feel like crap, I step into my room and think to myself:

'At least I have a comfortable room, with electricity and clean water supply.'

'I have the privilege to study and read in my room.'

'I have a proper bed to myself.'

'I have parents who fully support me.'

'I even have a younger sibling to share my room with. I am truly blessed.'

My room is my refuge. Where is your refuge?

Trials Over


Yeah!!! SAM trials finally ended!!! To cut a long story short, let's just say that the papers were beyond the definition of 'difficult'. Spec. Maths was terrible, even Maths was tough. Damn, I have a lot of work to do in the coming weeks to get my act together for the finals in November. On the other hand, its Hari Raya break. What a timely breather!!! To everyone who celebrates Hari Raya , Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

Today was a blast. Played futsal with a few college classmates in the morning. The only downside was we all went to HTO and it was closed!! We were told that 'hari ini cuti sekolah, jadi HTO juga tutup'. So in the end we went to Sports Planet. I think today was my best game in a long, long time. I always prefer the left wing, and if I am allowed a little freedom to roam rather than help pack the midfield, I think that will problably help the team more. Later, I switched and followed my mum and siblings to Rakuzen near SJMC. The Japanese food there is the best I tasted so far. Later, my siblings persuaded me to take them to the Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club so we can play table tennis and badminton. Since I am such a nice guy, I agreed and another friend aslo tagged along.

Just now, I was browsing through my computer files and found a whole file of photos taken fromm the last 12 months. It was pretty nostlagic looking at these photos. Here is a few.

Last year's PRS and Kelab Kerjaya camp


National Service!!!!


Ivan and Ryan leaving E3

Okay, I got to go. Its my CG supper time. Hopefully there will be more updates soon.

Study, Study, Study

Once again, I apologize for my apparent lack of updates. I had been busy juggling exams after exams (who told me SAM was easy?). Not only that, my trials are one week away!!! *Gasp*


Slacking in studies, lacking in motivation.

That pretty much sums up my mood right now. To any prospective college students out there, DO NOT join March intake for SAM unless you have absolutely no choice. Don't say you were not warned beforehand.

Some 'interesting' photos I took over the last month or so:



Who said guys lack creativity? Just look at this piece of 'artwork'


And this one, too:

I am seriously fed up by those people who promise to come for something and suddenly FFK, leaving those who bothered to take the effort to come fuming mad and irritated. These people really spoil my day. They have no sense of responsibility at all. I will forgive, but I won't forget.

So to those people who don't feel remorseful about FFK-ing, let me say this to you:
