.Work And Time.

HAHAHA, someone asked me aren't I suppose to be busy, but still got time to blog. yeah, thats the ironny, got time to do others stuffs but no time for work. LOL. this week is passing really fast. monday discussed accounting assignment, not bad, nows the hard part, writing it. hahaha. hope it goes well. still trying to find more sources for info.

tuesday flies past too. after monday's discussion, went back to hall thinking that hostel should help me do work. ended up did programming only. hahaha. and only half way but finished up last night. plus! my phone was died the whole day! haha. more precise my phoneline. well, this my first time so I dunno wad happen. tried off and on phone, cant call, cant sms, only can use MSN contact ppl.

but I was stuck in hostel, didnt help that yc wasn't in hall the whole day, so I lived like I'm in the mountain. uncontactable. LOL. guess this was worst than when my internet at home got cut. more helpless. HAHAHA. but got it working again today. ha! I'm a bad debt of singtel. LOL.

mentoring was fun, but I still perfer when i can teach more then just do discipline. fav student boon hao got package with wei sheng, so they arrange for tianci to take them, haha. okay. atleast with tianci, still can shower my 'love' on him. LOL.

so taught wei sheng and 4 others, most naughty table! well, weisheng cannot be controlled, even ZF who taught him for 2 years still reseaching how. LOL. but atleast he did his maths work today and manage to make him draw quietly! hahaha. achievement. and he drew me a 'slow poke'! keke. btw, my mentee are indra, hazwan, hirza. yep!

was chatting with ZF and PN on way back. agreed that indra is our best student for P6 this year, yep. will give him a push! HAHAHA. aim river valley for him too! but most happy if he can go where he wants to.

got quite a number of things I wanted to blog abt, topics like expectation and fears came out over last week's comm fund and volunteer training. well, will leave for next time. cya, give me strength to start work soon! and GO LIVERPOOL!

.Quiz Box's Test.

got from Kj's bloggy, think I done it before, but just trying it again and this is surprisingly accurate. hahaha. here if you wanna try.zz

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

If your birthday is on the 11th day of the month :
You are gracious, elegant and prudent. People admire your qualities and some even become jealous of you. You are realistic, flexible and adaptable. You are remarkably kind and moral person.

LOL.

trying to be more sociable, on wed, went to FOC volunteer appreciation dinner. its a totally weird night. mostly seniors and 1 'crazy' full-time working volunteer, she tried to make the place into SDU. tml got another volunteer training, I told tianci, "AGAIN?!?" hopefully it be better else I travel down there liao will 'kill' ppl. haha.

thursday ended the school day early, but james and ty invited me go play boardgames. hahaha. so went to check it out, played "settlers of catan" similar to monopoly, interesting but... I prefer mindless games! HAHAHA. and YES! they have saboteur! its like everyone loves this game. 2nd time playing it but miss the first time I played with my NP peeps at SMU settlers. guess the game need more people more fun. so will be looking for people go play or I be back next thursday! they playing every thursday and surprisingly alot of my coursemates there, so I'm the new convert. keke.

currently listening to Seabird - "Rescue". 1st impression not really catchy but it kenna grows on me and saw the trailer for "pushing diasy" (where the song is used), its looks super interesting and sweet (look out for the shirkwrap). added the show into my 'to watch' list. "you are my rescue..."



I'm pushing up daisies, I wish they were roses
I feel like I'm drowning but nobody knows it
I'm pushing up daisies, I wish they were roses
I feel like I'm dying, just want you to notice

somehow the grave has captured me
show me the man I used to be
just when I feel my breath is running out

the earth moves and you find me, alive but unworthy
broken and empty, but you don't care
cuz you are my rapture, you are my savior
when all my hope is gone, I reach for you
you are my rescue
you are my rescue

I'm swimming to safety, but even with my best
if I don't see that rope soon, this might be my last breath

somehow the grave has captured me
show me the man I used to be
just when I feel my breath is running out

the earth moves and you find me, alive but unworthy
broken and empty, but you don't care
because you are my rapture, you are my savior
when all my hope is gone, I reach for you
you are my rescue

don't let me drown
can you hear me
cuz I am
Calling out
I'm underground
won't you pull me out

I'm pushing up daisies, I wish they were roses
I feel like I'm dying, just want you to notice...

.Weekly Rantings.

Time for my weekly rantings! (its only the first day of the week and I have tons of stuffs to say)HAHAHA. for the good stuffs first, HAPPY! Liverpool won last night, was initally lazy to watch, wanted to sleep but since fabby is back in hall, went to lounge and watched together, was already in 2nd half but right after I sit down Chelsea's lampard got send off, LOL. and Torres scored twice soon after. end quite late, so ended up today keep nodding off in lecture, but its worth it! LOL.

on the other hand, this week is week 5, odd week. means there is logic design lab tml. must really rush during the 2hours and got quiz at end of each lab, but did free access today so should be okay. and while waiting for the programming lab to be free(they having lab test) I got bored, and started playing with the colourfull wires on the 'breadboard'(circuit). HAHAHA. I made a pink heart shape, then fabby commented that its the geek way of expressiong love! and WQ gave a good idea to make stickman, LOL. made a black wire stickman + a black wire stick woman and a mini pink heartshape. hahahaha. guess we are really too bored and geeks...









speaking of lab test. my first java lab test be on wednesday afternoon. 2 question. the second 1 will be some crazy matrix stuffs. hope I can think fast and flexible on that day. wish me luck! hahahaha. somehow already expecting unable to finish and disappointment. LOL. atleast I am prepared!, but am my usual self of "can 1, relax" LOL.

and by wednesday, had to submit the company selection for the accounting project. must choose a listed company between K to O and think of the most important intangible assets to be added into their balance sheet. hahaha. hope we can confirm the company soon, so tonight gotta go look at more company profile and annual reports and maybe squeeze time out to practice programming and re-prepare myself for logic lab tml.

quote for the week. "however scary the future maybe, its still will only comes one day at a time." yep. hope the week will end well. still haven done this week tutorials for thursday and friday, will have to leave it to wednesday night. may gonna press panic btn for Discrete maths, its undo-able and the lecture slides like no help. haha. and I still wanna watch my shows! HAHAHA. last sem YC and I came to the conclusion that however busy or wannabe mugging you are, always allocate atleast 1hour each night to do wad you want. I wanna watch my 'moonlight', bigbang theory' and 'chuck' so its gonna fight will my sleep time. thats for now. chills...
