About time I updated this blog of mine....

Wow. It's been more than 2 mths since I last updated this space. Think I've been working too hard alr. Just last night I dreamt I was in this dirty toilet and I was given this water hose. And yes, I went abt cleaning the toilet for some reason. Terribly strange dream. I must be overworked. Or that I'm thinking too much abt things. No thanks to Alex who gave me more food for thought than I already needed last night. Thanks a heap Alex...

It's been ages since I last watched a movie. So today finally went to watch Iron Man. With my dad. Lolx. I wished I could have watched it with her but then again... =/
Anw heard from several ppl that it was a good show to catch, and I must say I was not disappointed. The technology, the storyline, the characters, sense of humour. Not bad at all. Probably rated the show abt 3.5/5... =P

Was supposed to watch it with that xiao mei of mine on Vesak Day. BUT.. when we met, she happily said, 'I dun wanna watch movie today leh'. Wonderful. Oh wells. Not that it was a bad thing either. We had some good time at Donut Factory, or shld I say, I had a good time at Donut Factory (The Strawberry White Choc Donut rox). After which we went to Starbucks Coffee to chill. I enjoyed spending time talking and just relaxing with my xiao mei. haha.

And then I met Derek Tew, who's working there. Talk abt coincidence. Just bumped into Brandon on the train on my way there, then met Derek at Starbucks. Met 2 army friends in one day. haha. Anw Derek, she's NOT my gf lar. too short alr. hahaha. kidding hor xiao mei =p

Last week was invited for this C N Yang scholarship interview by NTU. Rmb wondering what kind of interview would it be; did a bit of preparation for any standard questions that would come along, for e.g. Wad are your aspirations, why do you think we shld offer you this scholarship... And then when I went in for the interview on Tues, they asked all abt Physics questions. Thanks a lot lor. I haven't been in touch with my Physics for like... 2 yrs?? Lolx. And they asked things like gravitation, Physics of fluids.. WTH. But there was one question which was interesting - It was abt this 3 cities, for example, Tokyo, this other city and New York being on the same latitude on the Earth. that means they are on a straight line. However, when an airplane flies over from Tokyo to NY, why does it not fly straight over the middle city but instead, flies over the North Pole? Never ever thought abt such a thing in my life. LOL. The interview was quite an experience lar. Results shld be out this week but I'm definitely not optimistic abt it. Anw alr very lucky to be given the chance for the interview le. So just see how it goes. If I get it, well and good. If not, life goes on. hahax..

Been thinking of lots of stuff these few days. Wondering if I'm wasting my life, this 8mths of pre-uni life. Has it been all wasted on working, working, and just working for money? Sighs. So fast uni gg to start le. In abt 2 mths time. Back to the stress-pot again.

I haven't learnt how to play my guitar, haven't read up on Aerospace. and I really need to start working out to get back in shape from all the eating b4 gg in. Really hope there's abt enough time to do all these btw the time I stop work and b4 I go in to uni.

At least there's one thing unique I tried - I went prawning!! hahaha. Totally new experience. I've only been fishing once before this.. Years ago at Sultan Shore with Uncle Boon. Can hardly rmb anything to do with fishing, prawning, or catching whatever live seafood have you. haha. Was invited coz of Shurun's bday celebrations. Went to this prawning shack at Bishan after work around 11 plus. Was actually lazy to go but nevertheless went in the end. Thankful that I went. Prawning is really fun. It's just that you have to be really patient and luck counts too i guess. So many baits in the water, why should the prawn choose your bait leh? haha.. somehow the alignment of the bait actually matters. Strange but yeap. Spent 3hrs there but surprisingly was not that tired at all. Although the both of us only caught 2 prawns the whole night lor. Haha very shi bai. Mark, Jason, the Joyces, Jiazheng, Yichao and Matthew also went. and yes Yichao, I enjoyed myself that night in more ways than one. =)

I wanna spend more time at the library reading up, or gg to Borders just to find a good book to buy and read. haha really feel that my current state of knowledge is pathetic. Been keeping up to date with newspapers though. That's one good thing. =)

Sad to read things abt the disasters in Myanmar and China.. Especially in Myanmar. How the ppl need help desperately but yet the military junta does not want to open its doors to accept foreign assistance freely. It's sickening. Donated $20 to the Red Cross last Sunday. Although I have serious doubts if it would ever reach those victims in Myanmar to help them in any way at all. hahax sighs. This world has so many problems.... Where is GOD?? =/

Sometimes I wonder if I make certain things seem more complicated than they shld be. Do I really think too much? Lolx.. Anw I wanna go cycling!! Been dragging it for so long. Wonder when I'd ever be able to do it. Then Jiazheng the other day was mentioning we shld go to the beach and chill. Hmmz shld go Sentosa one of these days to laze on the beach and get a tan. Hehx..

Tonight's gonna be a night of tension again. Yups. It's the Champions League final. My Dad's sure gonna be making hell lot of a noise. Even though he promises to keep quiet tonight. haha. Man Utd pls pls win tonight.. Otherwise I really wouldn't have the mood to work tmr. Lolx.
