I cannot keep losing my green things. Within a month, I have lost my waterbottle and handphone pouch. And today I almost lost another handphone pouch if not for Heng Wei, who recognised my green thing on the floor. Thanks man! So its good to own items which shouts out your identity. If my handphone was ordinary, I would have lost 2 pouches in a month!

Haha. I guess I am not the only one who misread LerkThai as JerkThai. The 'L' and 'J' in the restaurant logo can be difficult to differentiate haha.

I met this inspirational lower secondary boy working at SuperDog yesterday during dinner. He came to tell me how much he really want to do well in school.

We wanted to keep in contact so he gave me his email, telling me to add him on facebook. I think he made a mistake in the email that he gave me, because that email can not be found on facebook.

I went back to SuperDog today, hoping that he will be working in the morning shift but he wasn't there. The manager was not sure who worked last night either. Yu went back to SuperDog at night and he too, told me he could not find that boy.

I am going to try my luck at SuperDog the next weekend to see if I can still find that boy.

It's very interesting how fate works.

Fate can bring people together and pull people apart at the very next instant. And we don't really have much control over this...

Somehow I feel that I am still part of PRSS. Mmm, or perhaps, PRSS is already a part of me, so much so that feel misplaced, that I shouldn't be studying in uni now, that I just want to go back to PRSS. This I know is not possible except during my summer holidays which I know I will be going back. Been asking myself what draws me back to the school after all these years. I can't really think of a concrete reason. It's a possible combination of many strong reasons; good memories of my sec school days, teachers (luckily they are still around), many years of juniors, choir, and for the very fact that PRSS made my growing up years complete. I seriously could not have asked for anything better because to me, it is the best already.

Went back to PRSS choir today. I really hope that things will get better for them. I don't want it to be a situation of 'falling from grace' as quoted from a senior. Jia you!

Had a Real Guys outing to celebrate De Hong and Firdaus belated birthdays. It's really good to see this group of guys sticking out for one another, afterall, we did grow up together, going through good and essentially ridiculous times. What can you expect from a small group of guys trying to fit into a highly populated female choir? To me, I have watched them through their sec school days, to poly, JCs and even one in army now and it made me realised that I am indeed very old already haha!!!

Anyway we went to pomo to eat lots of fried chicken and other unhealthy stuff at Dallas Chicken and Ribs. Not bad, very nice, eat until full and its worth the money. Then we went to play LAN hahaha. I think the Real Guys is turning into a LAN gang already haha. And after which I went back to my hostel.

It was definitely great to catch up with these guys every once in a while =)

It's not easy for someone to ask for help. It's even more difficult to ask for help in sincere way. Don't turn them away if you can, because that someone really needs the help or else he would not have asked you for it.

Celebrated Wileen's belated 22nd (old auntie liao) birthday at some atas place in Raffles City Shopping Centre followed by night activity at the Pump Station! Woo Hoo, delayed photos haha

I am attending a defence science lecture on ionosphere. It's interesting but very dry when come to calculations and graphs. And people are leaving the lecture theatre at an alarming rate haha

The taxi uncle and I were so engrossed in our conversations that he sped 100km/h in the KPE tunnel unknowingly. If he was caught by the camera, he could be taken to court and face up to a fine of about $500.

I felt so guilty that he exceeded the speed limit. I should have noticed that he was driving exceptionally fast in the tunnel.

I could tell that he was very worried because he kept mentioning whether he was caught by the camera or not.

And it became rather awkward so we stop talking.

And I wondered in the taxi; when you realised someone could be in trouble and you are in no position to help, do you stop talking and let him think through what happened or do you keep talking to him to distract him because you are afraid that he will go into an emotional down spiral if you leave him alone?

I am getting back my momentum in my uni life especially my studies. At least I started to do my homework as of yesterday. Physics and Mathematics this semester is even more horrible than that of last year. I would never in a million years volunteer myself to take such modules if not for my scholarship programme requirement. Then again I just need to get through these modules for one more year and I am done with it to just focus on Chemistry and other probably interesting stuff. And I know there is a probably a reason why I am taking such modules.

However, I am still not able to cure myself of the sleeping disease. I am still not able to force myself to wake up and be at lessons on time. And I am still not able to keep myself awake during lectures and yes, even tutorial when the tutor is just explaining things to a group size of 20 people. I just can't stay awake. I really need to find a solution to this sleeping problem, because right now as a result of this sleepiness, I am seriously lagging behind by 3 weeks. Maybe the sleeping disease is a sign of saying that I am tired of school already. Probably true. Because even when I am half-awake knowing that I am late for my class, or appointment, I will still continue to go back to sleep, ignoring what consequences it will bring me.

On a lighter note, can you believe that I spent $52 on buying random stuff in school? There is sort of a carnival so I bought tees and even a softtoy.... hahahahaha... Such events really make uni life more exciting and of course a bigger hole in our pockets.

Today is the first day for the new JC 1 students. I hope all of my juniors will have lots of fun today and over the next few days, especially orientation (although I treat orientations as the bane of my life) as soon they will realise that secondary school is probably the most enjoyable honeymoon period, because life will become more and more challenging from now on. But no matter how tough things can get, we just have to think positive and continue on with our lives. No matter how tough chemistry can get, just refer to your notes, don't come looking for me. Hahaha... kidding la.

I'm going to meet monster chan for lunch. He said he will try to catch that yoshi bear from the claw machine. Yes, surprised to me as well, there is a new toy catcher machine in my school as well, but only for this semester.

If one didn't put in the effort, it would be easier to let go.

I finished a book today; Wicked, The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. It was a green coloured book. Haha, anyway that's not the point. The book gives an alternate version of the Wicked Witch of the West from our well known wizard of oz story where she was killed by Dorothy. And in this book, she was still killed by a bucket of water. The main theme in the book question the concept of evil. What is evil anyway?

I love the main character, Elphaba a lot. I told my roomie that I am going to talk like her already. Haha.

Go read the book.

Now I can't wait to watch the musical. The story a bit different though. But it won't be showed Singapore for now. I checked out the songs. They were great. It was actually defying gravity sung by the Glee cast which introduced me to this musical, which I then realised the existence of the book, which I then borrowed from my roomie. Haha.

Here is one small part I really like...

People who claim that they're evil are usually no worse than the rest of us. It's people who claim that they're good, or anyway better than the rest of us, that you have to be wary of.

Apologies to Chun Long for not including your name in my 21st birthday thanks. haha, sorry la, its there already, go find ok! Haha!

It really feels good to be at home.

Went back to PRSS to conduct chemistry remedial class. Next week going back again. Yay. Then went shopping with my maid aka Chun Long whom I asked to carry my heavy stuff. Haha

Had tuition with yc and supper with yu. I learnt that smashed sandcastles cannot be rebuilt overnight. You need to give time, to let things settle down, then to plan, then to carry out the action to rebuilt the castle again. This time, who knows, it could be a palace.

And I am going to take an early train tomorrow with monster chan to ride back to NTU.

Busy busy huh. It's gonna get worse.

Misunderstanding kills. Especially among close friends. But I am glad that we talked to each other about it. Of course lah, we have been there for each other so many times le. Haha.
