Omg. The noise from the construction next door is killing me. Can't sleep late into the morning. Haiz. Feeling sulky. Haha. Anyways ippt is finally over. Haha. Nice. And ATP's coming up next. But then again, getting confined over the weekend ain't that nice. Haha. Lucky there's a labour day to break the long 2 weeks. Haha.
Anyway my entire week is spent changing tracks. Damn tiring, expecially under the very very very, and I can't emphasize more, very hot sun. These days the sun is really scorching. Just one day breaking track under the sun and I'm burnt. lol. But then again, I get sunburnt super easily. Haha. Oh wells.
Oh and I finally know why my Debit card can't work le! I never activate it! LOL. I feel so retarded. Think I'm becoming stupider by the days. LOL
I'm still waiting..

Life's been pretty stale. It's been really boring ever since. Nothing much to do. Lets take a typical week. On weekdays I would probably rot away in camp, doing nothing except BOS, running/gym, cards and TV. Then comes the weekends. I would probably go out on one of the days and the rest of the time would be spent lazing at home or at my dad's shop. LOL. Pretty routine life.. Sian-ified. Really can't wait till after I ORD. Life's so much more than NS. LOL.
Took off tmr. So not going back to camp tonight.. Great another good night's sleep at home. Haha. But tmr's not gonna be an enjoyable day. Prays hard.

Yesterday went for FireFly - EDB scholarship interview round 1. The email stated that it was an interview "to get to know me better". Haha. But it was far more than that loh! Haha. Anyways reached the place super early. Thought I needed some time to find the place, but who knows it was that accessible. Haha. So settled down at Starbucks to have a nice warm cup of Vanilla Latte and read through some of my stuff. Haha. Then I went up. It's like the top floor of Raffles City Tower loh! The view was damn nice. And so was the place! The place was damn modern, with brightly coloured couches and sofas. Was really attracted to such an environment man! Haha. Waited for quite a while since I was super early. Anyways there was only one interviewer, but she really asked alot of questions man! Haha. Though it was quite a casual interview, I thought I didn't do too well. Spoke really fast man, especially at the start coz I was pretty nervous. Haha. But as the interview proceeded, I began to feel more comfortable. Anyway doesn't matter. Just hope I get to the next round. Heard there's like 3 to 4 rounds. Xiong sia!
Anyways Vincent and Joe also got into Imperial College le! Wahaha. I've got companion! Haha. Joe getting A*Star, while Vin getting DSTA or SembCorp I think. So wish everyone luck!
I seriously NEED a scholarship! *Prays really hard*
Oh today's damn sian lah. Nothing to do. So went to buy lunch for my family today. LOL. Went to opposite TJC the hawker there to buy. Such nostalgia. Remember those JC days where the hawker used to satisfy almost all my lunches. HAha. And TJC havent changed much.. other then they painting the buildings and looking much better. Haha. The good old JC that haven't changed much through 30 plus years of history. Haha. I just miss those days.
Haiz. The wait is torturous. I can't believe I waited like 4 months for my A level results! Please Email me quick! =X

I'm finally home!
At long last. Haha. 1 month passed pretty quickly. Can't say much about the trip here, but all I can say is that I pretty much enjoyed it. It was really fun most of the time, but then again, there are times of extreme boredom, when the only people to talk to is old uncles and dogs. LOL. But all the shopping and theme parks were great. Haha. The Taiwanese are too very nice people. Haha. Haha. Good trip. I really would want to go Taiwan again.. Haha.
But quite a number of things happened when I was away. 1st was the Imperial College interview. I missed it lah! I was damn scared that they would reject me based on that alone. So I sent them an email stating my reason. They said that they would TRY to give me a place based on results and my records alone. That sounded totally hopeless lah, considering the number of international applicants. But I was elated a few days later when they told me that the Dean of Engineering was satisfied with my records to grant me unconditional admission! That feeling was damn shiok man. Haha. I got in! Wahahaha. But then the issue of financial support struck me. I need a scholarship man! And these overseas ones are pretty difficult to get. Haiz. Suddenly had mixed feelings about my admission to ICL. But just as I was reading through the email, EDB emailed me. They had shortlisted me to go for an interview. Suddenly there was a ray of hope. Haha. But unfortunately, it was on the 23rd of March, and I was still in Taiwan. But luckily the could reschedule it, unlike the ICL one. Haha. Going for it on this Monday. I'm pretty stressed up over it. Haven't got a good experience in an interview. Exxonmobil one was TERRIBLE. Sad. Ok whatever. Just hope things turn out real fine.
Oh and I am damn retarded man. I actually locked myself out of my SIM card in Taiwan! I think I'm a genius. Seriously. I was talking one night with CK and Nic, and then I started playing with my phone, and in just FIVE MINUTES, poof. I was locked out. Damn stupid. But thank god for the pay phone in Taiwan. (and thanks to Maurice, Nic and CK for their phones. hahah) Ok so I had to spend $18 to get a new SIM card today. Went down to Parkway to get it done. Damn sian. haha. Anyway I can really understand why people keep saying that Singapore change really rapidly. Just 1 month and all the condominiums around Katong and East Coast are all completed. Haha. Ok then bought my favourite Iced White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks. Haha. Really feels like home. Haha. But the prices here suddenly seems damn steep. Things in Taiwan is considerably cheaper man. Haha.
Now to enjoy my 9 days break from the Army. Oh but then again, got quite some things to do these few days. Haha. Interviews and stuff. Start booking my BTT. I don't know. Good break from the repetitive and boring regimentation of the Army. Haha. 8 Months to go!

Haven't blogged in quite a while. Have been busy with quite some stuff. Hmm.. where shall I start. Went singing last Sunday with vin, 1e and john. Haha. Has been quite some time since I last sang. Haha. Then went to shop a while before going home for dinner with my family and bro's girlfriend. Haha. She's left to study at the University of Sydney le. Health Science scholarship wor. Haha. Quite pro. Anyways hope they turn out well and fine.
Oh and I finally changed my phone. LOL. Went to recontract with Singtel and since I'm an NSF, they gave me this Nokia E51 free. Haha. Good to be an NSF sometimes. All the perks and discounts. Haha. But then again, I don't want to remain an NSF! Haha. Wanna get out of the Army ASAP man. Haha. Oh and I'm going TAIWAN! haha. All I can say that I'm attached to ATI STW. Haha. Ex. Starlight. Not much an exercise that involves me, I'm going there to do rubbish and waste time. Haha. But I love it. I wanna go for the R&R! Wanted to go Taiwan after I ORD, but since the opportunity came, might as well go now. Haha.
Counting down.. 302 days left! Haha. That may seem like a big number. But do the math.. I've got 14 days leave, 3.5 days off, plus 26 days in Taiwan, plus around 4 days off from Taiwan = 255 days only! Ahah. Good good. I kinda look forward to another overseas exercise after this (maybe australia again? I seriously don't mind.) Haha. These trips are pretty enjoyable.
Anyways have been busy this week applying for scholarships and stuff. Back to this boring and tedious job of applying and applying. Damn sian. Anyways for me, it doesn't really bother me as much. If I get it, I would probably go UK to study. If I don't, I will just settle for NUS. Haha. Nothing much to lose. Anyway, I applied for Firefly Scholarship (EDB), PSC Scholarship and NUS scholarships. Haha. 3 is enough to make my head spin. All the personal statements, tutor recommendations, family particulars. OMG. They're such a torture. Then after this would be interviews, interviews and more interviews. Haiz. What have I got myself into? Headache.
Just came back from Parkway. Haha. Went there to buy a new book, entitled "The Age of Turbulence" by Alan Greenspan. Very economics kind of book, but I guess it will be pretty useful to read up, with all the economic crisis going on today. Haha. Also bought 方大同's CD - Orange Moon. Critics have pretty good ratings for it. So I wanna see if it's really that good. Haha.
2 weeks to Taiwan! And when I'm back, alot of things are gonna happen.

Today went back to TJC to visit my dear tutors! Haha. Fun fun. Haven't went back since A Levels results and have been feeling quite bad. Haha. Alright, 1st thing 1st. I don't like that security guard! What's wrong with visiting Teachers during CNY period!? Had to cook up some cock and bull story of having an appointment with Mrs Than just to get in. Oh and he didn't even know who she was at 1st. (She's the HOD of Arts loh!) Ok other than that it was pretty nice visit. Firstly, we went to walk around the school. It still gives me the nice homely feeling. Although there were some renovations to the place, it still makes me feel at home. So familiar environment. I love it there. I love my JC days. It was great. 1st went to find the noodle stall auntie. She's damn nice lah, treated me, vin and shan to prawn noodles. Haha. Back in those JC days, we used to patronise her stall like twice a day! Haha. Yupz quite nice food. Oh then Mrs Lim, the Vice Principal and my Maths tutor came by to eat as well. Haha. Had a small chat with her. Ok then proceeded on to the main objective for today. First went to call my CT and Chemistry tutor, Mrs Aileen Lim. Haha. She's ever so nice lah. Treated us to drinks at the canteen. Haha. Talked for quite a while. Haha. Nice to be able to keep up with the times.. Friends.. yupz good to know where they are now and how they're doing. Haha. Oh then she went off for lessons. Then so coinidentally, Mrs Than passed by! Ahha. Oh my, she's still that bimbotic! Haha. But in a very nice way. Haha. She's a magician! She made my E for Econs become an A! Magnificient. Haha. Then after that proceeded on to staff room where we FINALLY found Mr Desai! Haha. He had a really hard time finding him. Oh he's ever so bitchy. Haha. But once again, he's a great guy to talk to and a great teacher and motivator. Haiz. I miss my physics lessons. Oh and he say 01/06 is like the best class he every taught! Awww.. feel so honoured man! Haha. I guess class dynamics is more important than just smart people. Haha. And I really felt the class dynamics was really great in 01. Haha. I miss those days. Haiz.
Oh and Mrs Lim wants me back at tjc to teach! Wonderful. Haha. Quick I wanna ORD so I can start teaching!!! HAha
After that Shan went home to get collect her new hp, so me and vin went to Parkway to shop around. Haha. Supposed to go K de, but her hp nvr come on time so yupz, another time bahz. Haha.
Holidays Holidays Holidays..
I love them
