Tee leong just got into an accident on saturday. This is the second time in a week that he has got into an accident liao. And he just got his car back from the mechanics 2 days ago.
Think this time is a lot more jia lat than the last one. Saw the fragments of his car window on the road as I sent shan up to school that morning. Really look much worse than my accident.
Think Tee leong is really suay these days. 2 accidents in one week + $100 summon. He'll be laying off from driving for some time or probably even give up driving altogether. Hope that nothing bad will result from the legal side of this case. He has to wait for 2 months for the police report to materialise.
In the meanwhile he still has to handle the car repair costs as well as medical costs for the other party. Its gonna be tough on him. (after all I had been thru this same predicament myself too... its especially hard to swallow when u can hardly do anything on the ground to prevent the bad from happening, and u have to face baseless accussations from the other end when they din even see wat exactly happened and start creating tales to frame u... That sux big time...)
Pray that the bad luck will leave him quickly... He is down enough now....

Been studying hard and trying to catch up on my work these few days. Went to with shan to BK to study everyday since thursday. (courtesy of the available Kangoo made possible by Dad. Though its impossible for him to read this, I just wanna say: THANKS! ). Just barely managed to keep up the pace for E311 and Design, and the new week gonna start rolling again. The GREAT catch up gonna get tougher n tougher.... the staff at BK will be seeing me n shan more n more often....

Mountains of work to do....
Only since a few days ago when i started working then I realised how far I'm behind the crowd. This is the low-down of the work I owe myself:
E311 - 1.5 tutorials + 2 chapters of lecture notes
E312 - 3 tutorials + ? chapters of lecture notes
E314 - 1.5 tutorials + 50++ pages of lecture notes
E316 - 3 tutorials + lecture notes+++++++++++++++++
E317 - 0.5 + 0.5 + 1 tutorials + 2++ chapters of lecture notes
MB218 - 0 tutorials + just some leisure reading to reinforce my understanding (maybe read up G240 as well)
E370 - 1 Lab report + reading up of current Lab notes
E371 - 0 work
E372 - 1 Lab report
With so much work to do, I can't even think of playing computer games anymore (which is a good thing anyway). I dun even watch TV anyway. The only major waste of time activity that I have now is that I sleep a lot.
Now I can't even afford to go running either. Oh btw, think I should have fully recovered from my back injury already. Dun feel the pain anymore. But its such a sore feeling when you know you are fit enough to run but you can go because of work commitments.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last night Baocun was quarreling with BiBi over the phone. AGAIN. Though I already got a bit of 'used-to-it',
but i still get worried for them. It's not healthy to quarrel so frequently. Obviously they really like each other, but they always manage to blow up the smallest of all matters. Why can't they just talk over calmly? Maybe I dun really fully know what they are fighting about, so I'm not really in a good position to comment about it.
Anyway, to both Baocun & Bibi: Try to take a step back each and understand where and how your bf/ gf is coming from ok? Dun mess up the relationship that both of you cherish because of some unimportant stuff. Everyone has their own problems and it doesn't help if you expect your partner to always help carry your troubles without you yourself helping him/her out too. We are only humans, there's only so much one can take. You may think that your problems is more major than his/her problems, but dun you think your partner may be feeling the same way too? Spare more thoughts for others' feelings. Be cool ok?
Hope that they dun quarrel that much anymore in the future. Best wishes to you 2.

Mum is out of hospital and back to work already.
Luckily her illness isn't too serious. But still, I have to watch out for her diet.
High cholesterol, High BP. The same goes for dad too...
If I can have a wish, I'll just take dad and mom to have a clean bill of health...
Money and power will come a close second......

Another Bad Day at Lab...... Mum is hospitalised
This time it’s the lab supervisor, or should he even be addressed as one?
He is irresponsible (late for labs)
He is condescending (think the worst of everyone)
He has a god-damned bad ass attitude.
He doesn’t know his stuff well (always had to rely on the lab techs to help)
He is an UGLY, FAT, FRECKELD-FACE OGRE
(ok, I admit the last point has nothing to do with being a lab sup)
I had spent so much time and effort on this lab cos its my formal lab report, in the process, forgoing sleep, some lectures and tutorials. In the end, think the ogre dun know how to appreciate better stuff ( I din overdo my stuff, wat I did was stipulated in the lab manual).
An analogy on what happened:
You registered for Japanese Language Level 3. You studied and worked hard for the exam. Then during the exams the supervisor saw that everyone had not studied up till level 3, so the paper was changed to level 1 instead. with 10 minutes remaining in the exams.
What the hell is this? Everyone had a lousy 2D graph, I had a nice 3D graph and you say you want me to change my graph to 2D because you cannot read it? What can I say? You are a damned useless lab sup, cannot differentiate between caviar and ikan bilis
All my efforts were not recognized, and I had to stay back after the lab to edit my stuff, just to accommodate the lower standards (it is a programming lab, so changing from a long and complex program to a much simpler and shorter program still takes a bit of time)
Anyway, I think probably my 8-characters have a clash with lab modules this semester. Already have problems in all 3 modules:
E370 = Lousy lab partner from hell (can we send him back there?)
E372 = Useless and ultra lousy lab sup
E371 = Missed a lab due to me taking the wrong timetable (ok this is my fault, all thanks to the mouse’s scrollwheel. Just when I was going to print my timetable, I accidentally touched the wheel and the timetable for this lab switched to the next class. Damned suay)

Mum is hospitalized
Sis messaged me a few days back, saying mum was running a high fever and the doc suspects it to be chicken pox. Then I called mum and she told me she saw a doc and she feels ok already.
Just a few hours ago, sis called me to ask me to coax mum to see doc again. Then the next message I got from sis is that mum is hospitalized in CGH for dengue fever.
Mum went to work during this few days even though she is sick. Dad and sis asked her to go see doc again but she refused to. I dun understand why she hates to see the doc so much so (apart from the bill as a major factor) until she have to wait until things get serious. Its not the first time she is like this already.
Is money really that important until you are risking your health for it?
Anyway, I’ll be going down to visit her tomorrow after I finish my lessons. Hopefully nothing bad comes out of it…

Impetus to start engine?
I've been slacking in my school work since school reopened. *Counts with my calendar* That's 24 days already, and I still have not kicked into gear to start burning those lecture notes into my RAM & ROM (aka brain).
Had lunch with my fren from the same EID group, Bao Long. He told me that he has started his own business and trying hard to juggle schoolwork, business and ECA. In our těte a těte, he said something that made me reflect on myself.
I've learnt to maximise the use of my time, even if its one minute of free time, I'll be chowing down my notes.
Now I ask myself: What have I been doing for the past 4 weeks?
I cannot find a good answer....
Bao Long has got a clear goal and knows what he wants. He is working in that direction now.
As for me, I think I'm still a lost sheep out there waiting for a shepherd to give direct me.
I took a bit of time off to think for myself. And as usual, my short term goal would be:
Get 5 As for this semester.
So far I have identified 3 modules that I've got a higher possibility of scoring: 311, 314, 317. Will update with more in time once I catch up with the other modules.
What I have to do now:
- spend >4 hours studying everyday (till I catch up and overtake the tutorials)
- spend 2 hours per day on tutorials
- cut out all computer games
- cut off the late sleeping times
- work out daily schedules on what to do on the following day
- cut down on supper (I know this is not directly related to scoring As)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Had a talk with Ivy during our tutorial class today. She had broke off with Adrian. Although I have heard it from Bao cun some time back, but I din want to probe more on it (not my style to ask unless the person tell me on her own accord). Anyway I should not reveal too much of her personal stuff here.
She said that there are so many things that she want to do, now is the best time for her to go out and see the brave new world. And it set me off thinking again.
My message to Ivy: Hey girl, I wish you all the best in whatever u do and pls take good care of yourself ok? You look a bit jaded today. You have my admiration for having the courage to make big decisions to go achieve what you want.
Thought of the day: These 2 frens of mine have to drive, motivation and courage to go and work for what they set out to achieve. I should draw some inspiration and motivation from them and start working towards my own goal as well (however small it may seem in comparison with them)

Lab Partner from Hell
My lab partner really PISSED me off today.
The lab project was divided into hardware and software component, and he wanted to do the hardware part, and so be it. He ended up always asking me how to do the hardware, and it ended up like he was only doing the menial work, wrapping the wires around the IC pins. Fine. When the hardware couldn't work, he immediately asked me whether i screwed up his work. What the hell is this? Don't push your blame onto me, u r the one who is doing the hardware, not me.
When we first tested the hardware together with the software, there was no response from the hardware, even though i have checked the software to be error free. Then he kept blaming it on my program, and kept pressurizing me to approach my fren in the same lab to ask for a copy of their program. Obviously I din want to do it. Hey genius, if you want to copy other people's work, fine. Learn the proper ethics ok?
Copying Rule #1: When copying, make sure the work dun come from someone in the same class!!!! Dun get others into trouble by using their work wholesale. Damn it. Don't tell me you never copied before in your entire life.
In the end it turned out to be poor connections on the hardware that what caused the problem. What an idiot.
After I got the program up and running (we have to implement it into the hardware), he came over and tried out the program on the hardware. And he made a really stupid comment: all the other groups got '10' for this value, I think you better make some changes to your program (he thought there was something wrong with the program again..)
I explained to him that it doesn't matter what value we get, because it is just any silly number I want to put into the program. Its just like I want to declare my variable as "X" , but the guy next door wants to declare it as "Y". Whats the point? You are just simply showing me that you dun even understand the project, and you are making so much noise like you know everything when in actual fact, you know zilch.
Copying Rule #2: If you dun know a crap about what you are supposed to copy, move your fat ass away, shut your trap up and let the experts do their job. Dun be a chicken little and keep crying when the sky ain't gonna fall on your bird brain (even if it really does, it ain't a big loss to anyone in anyway, so just zip up that foul hole)
I wanted to punch his annoying face and run him down with my lorry at that instant. But then, I'm stuck with this maggot for the next 6 lab sessions. Gotta endure till the last session before i tear him into pieces. I would rank his annoying factor down there together with my PC in OCS and S3 in CAB. Just don't know why there are parasites like such in this world.
There's so much more to bitch about this maggot from India (I must say I have nothing against Indians, but i'm just against this maggot) and I can take the whole night to write it. But its pointless. I just want to let off some steam here. No point wasting too much time on a maggot.
Is there any place that is worse off than Hell? If so, please send the maggot there, I'd gladly pay for the courier fees

1st post
Actually i had a blog site long ago, but never really bothered to go and post or update and things like dat, cos dun tink anyone will visit anyway.
But now i just wanna find a space for me to write some bo liao stuff. (hey, i have the habit of writing diary ok. Since primary school lei !) It doesn't matter whether anyone will read this or not someday. I dun intend to let many know this either.
Been quite busy recently, trying to finish up my Design module and project module. Plenty of programming to do. C++ is still quite ok, just need a bit of refresher. Its the assembly language programming thats killing me. Never touched it b4, now i just have 2 days to read up, digest and write up a silly program to submit (by tomorrow... crazy rite?) . And I'm writing this stupid blog now.. haha
Had IBG basketball 2 days back. Feels pretty good that I had performed much better than in the last 2 years. I feel that i finally have a break thru in my basketball skills. Must have been the night sessions at Bishan that have compelled me to change my playing style and position. My passing has improved a lot, my teamplay even more so. Thanks to those lads who showed me the other side to basketball.
The feeling of people desperately trying to mark you out of the game is shiok. I like to see the fear and respect in my opponents' eyes. Dunno if its just me or not, the opponents tend to treat you with more respect if they think you are good. Ha ha ha. Just tokking cock, dun tink I'm that good anyway.
It seems inconceivable but now I enjoy playing the position of centre ( yes, think of big players like Shaq). I am too short for a centre, but i find it easier for me to score in the centre position. A good jump shot coupled with nice fakes and quick reflexes makes up for the lack in height.
Anyway, I have to go back to work on my programming again. My lab partner just gave me a ring and asked me to go to the lab earlier tomorrow to finish the program. Its such a pain in the ass when u can only decipher half of what he is saying every time (he is an Indian and speaks with an Indian accent which is doubly tough to understand over the phone)
