When All Else Fails, Kick Up A Ruckus

After a truly long phonecall to the class administrator...

Well it was a 顺便 ask kinda thing since I was in SIM on my part, but they managed to tweak the system even though class is full. (which means the class is not exactly full, but they're trying to extend the studying yrs for students??)

Thus I could squeeze all my modules for next yr.

PROVIDED I pass all my modules for 1st yr. *pass pass pass x 1247121246397 times*

BUT I NEEDA GO CLASS ON SATURDAYS!!

& Fridays for the record.

Nvm. Starting class next monday. Mktg. My fav. *grins*

Some Rotating Tower, Luge, Skyride, and Cold Bug

I have a persistent flu/cold bug that persistently doesnt wanna go away.

Dun tell me its trying to apply for a PR.

NOOoooOOoOOoooo...

Anyway, I went Sentosa to waste the 4 Carlsberg promotion tickets for the Sky Tower.


Carlsberg Sky Tower

Its supposed to bring u up 100m+ to view the scenery. It had been a rainy morning (which I reluctantly drag my wormy body out from the nuahing state I'm usually in on weekends) so the view was very dark and foggy.


Cable Cars, Superstar Virgo and Superstar Gemini which was hidden


World's(??) busiest port with CBD in the background


Containers at the port. Reminds me of my art FYP


All the barges and bunkers waiting for their turn to be brought in


I din took this at the peak. It was when we're descending.

After the boring (and dizzy) Sky Tower once-in-a-lifetime-is-enuff experience, we went for some excitement. (Not b4 contributing to be 1 of the 4 million smiles to welcome the IMF delegates)


Luge and Skyride Tickets. $8 only.


Queing up for Luge-ing

Ok this Luge thing is not the one where u lie flat and control with ropes. Its jus like a scooter kinda thing where u control by pulling the handlebars.


N this is obviously not me.

Its seriously FUN! Dun miss it if u're in Sentosa. It beats ALL the so-called theme-parks in SG. There's a track with some obstacles to add the fun and dodge all the slow drivers and hazards who e. brake in front of u. Me and RR were InitialD-ing all the way, overtaking each other at corners, hearing the "engine"(its jus the base or wheels going clok clok clok), and avoiding the little kids all jammed up at one pt.

For 8 bucks, its serious fun and entertaining. Other than being fiercely told off by the fella at the ending line to keep my leg in the cart.

Ok I was trying to brake AT THE FINISH LINE, with my legs that is, cos the cart is still moving when u pull the handle bar back. Think I sped to fast to overtake. Hehhehhee.

Sorry lah, no license yet.

N I thot that finish line means, END LIAO MAHHH..


Thats the finish line that I kana scolding.

We're still supposed to continue driving to park the carts at the que some distance away.

So fun~

But I think I'll be a dangerous driver out on the roads.

Speed speed speed.... whooshhh

Hohohoohoo

Actually this skyride thing was the one that we wanted to take initially. It's only supposed to bring those that had Luged down back up the hill. N we thot its a transportation to the beach. Ahhahha..


On the skyride floorless chairs.


View of CBD from Skyride


Other ppl Luge-ing.

After a long walk from Siloso beach to Palawan beach, we went Tiong Bahru for dinner.


Beef Paper Pot.

Its at least better than the made-RR-and-Meow-Meow-sniff spicy ramen. Ahhahhaha.. Kana conned by Birdy.

N I'm still sniffing like mad after posting this + drinking Nin Jiom Cold Remedy.

*stuffs tissue paper up nose*

Victim of Communication Dysfunction

Thanks to the confusing emails and the super duper confusing letters with so many dates, and I dunno which batch shld I belong to,(N one letter which I only received half an hr ago telling me TODAY is the deadline of eCR) that SIM sent, I'm officially announcing that I've been added another yr to my academic life.

Cant they jus send an email with the subject as, LAUNCH of eCR. Or eCR starts today. Its so much clearer!

Anyway, story goes, I got an email notification in my hotmail, saying there's a new notice in the SIM student portal. It read something like TODAY IS THE DEADLINE OF ECR.

I was shocked. I DIN EVEN NOE IT STARTED!!

All the emails and notices I received b4 this was all the FAQs and subject offered and stuff like dat.

NOT ONE ON THE LAUNCH DATE.

N naturally I got frantic. I've 5 modules to chiong next yr initially, ending my course at the original timing.

I cracked my head, clicked here and there b4 I knew wat the abbreviations mean and wat the course is abt, made my 5 selections (OT, CF, ICP, MACRO, MKTG) and clicked NEXT.

I saw the timetable.

!$#@^!@$%#@@!$%$#@

OT ONLY HAD ONE CLASS!! IN TERM 2!! AND ITS FULL!!! AND TO THINK THAT ITS A FOUNDATION UNIT!! SHLDNT THEY HAVE MORE CLASSES!?!?!??!??!?!

AND MACRO TERM 2 FULL. I HAD TO CHOOSE TERM 1, FORGOING CF, WHICH THE CLASS FOR TERM 2 IS FULL!!

%^*&*^)%#$@#

Means I can only take 3 modules next yr bcos class is full, n class is full bcos of those confusing notices that I received.

ARGH!

Now I'm wishing those dat take OT and CF in Term 2 had to do resit for previous papers. Or drop out. Mwahahahaha.

I is evil.

With dat, I felt rotten, doing nothing much for the whole afternoon, while the bosses go for meetings here n there.

Then my boss hinted/indirectly ask me to come back tmr n help him do biz plan.

There goes my beauty sleep.

With all these nonsense, I ran off work early to spend $$ release stress. Well, not exactly earlier than knockoff time, but earlier than the time I usually walk out of office.

I wanna get my Diesel.

So I went Orchard, happily thinking that Tangs would have my size. The Barrow is still there when I got there but somehow I got attracted by the brown threadings of Parker. I wanna try both.

Ends up, Parker only has size 9 and 10. Barrow, 5 and 7 onwards. 7 is rather big for me. I needa 6 or 6.5. OUTTA STOCK!!

This is not a good day for me.

So I asked the fella, if he noes any Diesel stores ard. He directed me to RSH next door as they carry Diesels oso. So with that I assume Diesel has no concept stores in Singapore.

I was wrong.

I jus checked. There's one in Paragon.

And to think that I walked/bus-ed from Tangs to Suntec for RSH hunting for the Diesels, there's one Diesel STORE jus A FEW BUILDINGS DOWN.

ARGH!!

I've already said. Today wasnt my day.

But I got a Billabong leather bag. Nah, I jus had the urge to swipe my card and carry something big in my hand.

And YES I needed a bag for my kana-stuffed-laptop-until-seams-breaking Ripcurl bag.

Now I needa shop for more clothes. N shoes.

I Watch The World Cup

NO I Dun Watch The World Cup!

Bcos..
1) STAR.HUB BLOCKED THE MALAYSIAN CHANNEL!
2) STAR.HUB REQUIRES PPL TO PAY $15 FOR THE EXTRA CHANNELS!
3) My broadband is TOO SLOW for TV.antz.
4) I dun bet.
5) Football is not in my blood.

Well, for (5), pretty boys R in my blood.

Hehehehe.

Top 10 Boys to Watch of World Cup

1)Michael Owen


Yes Yes. I'm BIASED. Even thou he's out of form. Even thou he's not scoring. Even thou he's overshadowed by Crouch (literally) and Roodney. Even thou he's not fully recovered yet.

And now he got himself ANOTHER injury!

Out for 5 mths. CONFIRMED!

ARGH!


Injured 1 min into the match btwn England & Sweden.

Balek Balek!

Top 10 Boys to Watch of World Cup (Baleked)

1) Saviola Javier - Argentina 7 F (Right)


He's too lethal. If not, how can 1 photo bring him up to the top of my chart? I dun even noe who he is! SO cute~

2) Joe Cole - England 11 M


Hmm. He looks like Robbie Williams? Or Joey from Friends? Anyway, PRETTY BOY~ N he's got the skills to boot! For scoring 1 goal and assisting the other in ENG - SWE match


Pretty boy~

3) Miroslav Klose - Germany 11 F


Having the most goals (4 currently) and pretty good looks, Germany is a hot contender for this yr's World Cup.

4) Hidetoshi Nakata - Japan 7 M


POSTER BOY~~ But Japan is going out of the competition soon. Too soon.

5) Arne Friedrich - Germany 3 D


He looks like Overmars.

6) Junichi Inamoto - Japan 17 M


Such chubby cheeks!

7) Bernd Schneider - Germany 19 M


The 3rd German. Footballers look quite good when they groom up.

8) Steven Gerrard - England 4 M


Steady skills, not trying to be flashy, and down-to-earth lad like Owen.

9) Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi - Japan 23 GK


Thou not the number 1 man of Japan, he's marvellous goalkeeping skills at rejecting a penalty earns him a spot. N another female fan.

10) Pavel Nedved - Czech Republic 11 M


'nuff said. His locks looks good flying ard.

Some funny names from WC.

1) Paulo Wanchope (Costa Rica)
For the whole of Germany vs Costa Rica game (apparently that's the only game I watched from start till end), the commentary was going,"Wanchope.. Wanchope.. Wanchope.." Pork Chop, Lamb Chop, Chicken Chop, Chop Chop Chop!

2) Sabrosa Simao (Portugal)
40 cents?? 4 fur?? 4 hats?? 4 cats??

3) Frank Lampard (England)
The last name sounds very vulgar. But watch for him to start striking goals

4) Peter Crouch (England)
His name and his height, dun they complement each other? PETER!! CROUCH! *ball sails over his head for Owen in the open* MWAHHAHHAHA


Sometimes u wonder wat a giraffe is doing in front of goal.


26 cm difference. Crouch at 198, Owen at 172.

& I hate Rodney. JINX!!



*ok if anyone noticed, Sweden & England had the SAME jersey design from Umbro.

The Temporary Boon Lay Interchange

Is Freaking @#$%^@#$%#$#$!!!!

Y is my 179 situated so far away!?!?!?!?!

Its so irrational to walk 4/5 of a circle to know that u can walk THE OTHER WAY! Jus cross a few small bus lanes and abt a hundred meters away, dats it.

They shld have put a sign on THE OTHER SIDE.

I must have walked like 400m to Berth 8 from the MRT station, passing by ques that snaked way out of its premises. Its freaking messy.

Note to SBS: No use drawing yellow lines on the floor. People in Singapore have eyes that look straight. Or up waiting for money to drop from the sky. They dun look for money on the floor. Dun thrift on more metal barriers bcos, DATS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE THEM QUE!!! Otherwise, they'll jus stupidly que ACROSS and then AROUND the interchange, not ALONG the yellow lines!

This is not without research, pls see my earlier post.


I took-ed the picture

SBS shld pay for my Diesel (transportation fee).

Quest for New Shoes

When Librans are faced with more than 1 choice, they encounter technical breakdowns.


Diesel Barrow Off-White, going for $149 @ Tangs. 10% or not, not sure.


Some Nike shoe which looks like this, but its white, with maroon tick and black soles. Going for $91 at some football shop at Lucky Plaza. Din get the name as we were too distracted by the $110 England jersey and I din get any pictures even after clicking 100+++ times on yahoo searches.

I'm leaning towards the Barrow, jus that the sole doesnt look as durable. But it looks so rugged~

Yup I'll get dat, next week, if I dun see any other distractions.

World Cup

Kaoz. I have no hopes of winning my XO fishhead beehoon bet from birdy WITHIN 16min of kickoff.

SO FAST....

Like some PS game.

I still prefer NBA. Haha.

For now, SCORE SOME MORE!~~~ So dat birdy cannot win.. mwahhahhahhah..

I Have Extreme Palms

I went to a palmist today.


My Palms

Those were the railway tracks/stitches/ladders the palmist drew.

Quite accurate.

But a lot of questions I dunno how to answer.

1) How's ur temper? Err.. Like no temper leh..
2) What u do when u're very angry? Huh? *silence* *silence VERY LONG* Cannot remember when was the last time I was angry. Nvr?

He saw that I am/shld be a short-tempered person. Ya, USED to be. And I cannot remember when my short-temperedness lost its way back to me. My dad went for a reading when I was very young and the person oso said I'm the "qia zha bor" kind. Hohoho.

I is dangerous. *Ahohoho*

I is very fussy oso. *Ahohohohohoho* I'm a practical analytical meticulous perfectionist.

And I can rise to be one of the top mgmt. 0.0 woahhh..

N cannot work for small companies. Ahahhahha.

Mid 24 to 25 is a good cycle for me. Job-wise n study-wise. Hehehhhehe. 1 more yr. N I shld be studying systematically/consistently, i.e. cannot last-min. Ah!

N I'm supposed to be good in maths and figures. -.-" N dabble in arts. (music consider?)

Love-wise, 3 more yrs for a stable one. Mid-24 (again!) will start attracting ppl. MWAHHAHA. *bzzz bzzbzbbbzz (electric-transmitting)*

Puppy-(woof)love in 16-18. Hmm...... true true.

N I'm the bo kui type. As in, no energy, not robust. Hehe. Simply put, WEAK. yeah. Need to jiak bor.

N I shld learn yoga or taichi or medication. I'm seriously considering this.

N my energy lvl disappears rapidly after 1.30am. No late nites for me.

Possible to travel but only short vacations. No bagpackings for me cos not robust la.

He advised I arrange my teeth. (Dentist I'm throwing $$ to u again) N remove the small tiny mole spot on my left wrist. He actually say I can scrape it off with a sharp knife after numbing it.. MYSELF! ermm.. so risky. WRIST leh.

N my left hand doesnt agree with my right hand! Extreme contrast. Mwehhehehhehe.
1) I can save $$, but doesnt mind spending big oso.
2) Ambitious but doesnt have the energy to match. 心有余而力不足.
3) My right hand shows that I can concentrate for 2-3 hrs but my left hand says I'll be brain dead after short periods of concentration oso. (n I think the palmist caught me zoning off oso. HAhahhhaa)

I is contradicting fella.

The "Non-Existent" Yellow Line

Taken at crowded City Hall MRT station


Taken at not crowded Lakeside (or Boon Lay) MRT station
(Line's a bit crooked..)

See.. Crowded not crowded oso liddat.

Perhaps we need new technology to conform these ppl and instill a bit of considerateness that u're supposed to stand at the OTHER SIDE of the yellow line.

Maybe something like this..


Smoke Screen.

AHHAHAHA..

X-Men III

I think I'm addicted to Cathay seats. So comfy. Watched X-Men III there, in The Grand Cathay. Its freaking huge. Rows A to V, 9 seats each on the side aisles, 16 in the centre, per row. But bcos its so huge, the screen looks small, and the sound effects seems diffused.

Seriously, I cannot recall anything abt X-Men and X-Men II althou I'm pretty sure I watched X-Men. This X-Men III leh, the plot is not as strong as the previous ones. N Y ALL THE X-MEN SO USELESS?? N Cyclops died so early bcos he got a role in Superman Returns? N Rouge is no more mutant?? Mystic too? Angel is a vase that saves his father n convince him that mutants r good bcos he saved his life? Duplicator jus reminds me of Naruto (Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!). Hahahha..

N pls.. no more part IV if the X-Men r jus gonna get more useless. N III is Final Stand already! Dun Dun. Dun be like Star Wars..

Ya I got the liquid paper offence.


Liquid Paper Offence


Enlarged

N I did badly for ME. I was totally blank when I flipped the exam paper. Seriously blank. I dun see any 25 marks theory questions I can smoke thru in Section B. There's totally no pure theory questions compared to 2005's paper. Monopsony, MRP=ME=W, all comes to zero. -.-" Supposed to be like dat?

Anyway its a killer, I did the 6 questions required, after stoning for like 20 min flipping the paper over n over, applying all the MR=MC rule which doesnt really work out, but I din complete all parts. Very tricky. N my lecturer's important parts all nvr come out. The language is super chim. Y Zone A's past yr paper looks so direct and Zone B one so complicated!??!??!

Its an either u noe it or u dun paper. N I dun. I'll be happy with 34 marks again. Serious. Jus 34. Very happy.

I conclude I'm not good in maths. N those + - x / signs doesnt treat me as their good fren.

*prays hard hard*
