As the end of semester 1 ends , here comes the results ....
Organic Chemistry - B , 3.50
Inorganic Chemistry - A , 5.00
Biochemistry - A , 5.00
Calculus - A , 5.00
Forensic Science - A+ , 5.00
Overall CGPA : 4.65
I was quite surprised with the results , especially calculus considering I suck at it. On the downside , what kind of Chemistry student can't do Organic Chemistry .... seems like I need to be nerdier next semester ....

Dead Blog Alert
It's about time for me to issue myself the ultimate ' Dead Blog Alert ' .... Sorry , was out for too long ....
Just an update of what had happened after the Organic Chemistry exam , I managed to survive all the exams and also the whole Semester 1 ( hopefully I don't have to retake any of them in future ... )
After the exam , a few of my NTU friends and I went shopping at IMM mall .... I think I was possessed or something ... I have never spent so much on shopping ... guess I have been hanging out with girls too often already .... anyway , I am so going to pay the price .... wanna bet how much weight I am gonna lose from starving myself ??? Lol ... just kidding , I can't go any further on starvation without being called anaeroxic ....
Then I came back to Malaysia for almost a week ( for FOOD of course !! ) .... During that period , I met up with FXC in Gardens and no one else after that ... apparently most of the people are busy with studies or/and work .... makes me feel so guilty for being so lazy....
Went back to Singapore again .... for club meeting and volleyball ...... meeting went well and ended on the expected date .... volleyball was dreadful .... I have not been exercising ever since exam season ..... and the coach was extra harsh on the team .... so I had muscle pain for 4 DAYS !!! Couldn't walk down the staircase for the first 3 days .... so sad .... I stayed around a little longer for course registration and came back to Malaysia yesterday ...
As soon as I came back , I rushed into a quick nap before going for my primary school gathering ... It was not bad at all considering 20 people showed up ... we had such a blast recalling all the silly things we did in the past and doing lots of catching up ..... Thanks again to the organisers ....
Hmm .... I guess that's all for now ....

Organic Chemistry Test ....
I just had my Organic Chemistry test ( which is to me the toughest paper ever ) .... I have even broken my own record ... I was still studying this yesterday morning ( which totally went against my principles of not studying a few days before exam ... ) ... but this is just too much for me .... it was 10^n times , n>100000000000 tougher than what I experienced in A levels ... omg ... what kind of language am I speaking now ....
Just to give an idea how the test structure in NTU is like ....
First question was about stereochemistry .... quite similar to A levels optical isomer and stuff .... but I spent too much time on this section ... I am blind when it comes to 3D structure .... and a little of Sn2 reactions were involved ... generally still manageable ....
Second question was all about reaction mechanisms .... this one to be honest is the most redundant part to me in chemistry .... just swallow and vomit .... this part I messed up a bit ... but still okay ...
Third question was about cyclic organic compounds where the conformational structure of a molecule suddenly became damn important .... I totally screwed this part up .... well , I guess this question was supposed to separate really smart people from normal students like me ... haih ...
Fourth question was about benzene chemistry ... it was okay ... just need to talk bad about Friedal-Craft and why it not a good method after all ....
Overall , this exam was very tough to me. The worse part is , right after the exam paper was collected , the first thing I heard was ' this paper is much easier than I expected' ....... OMG .... I was so close to walk over him and strangled his life out of him ..... NTU geniuses memang cannot underestimate .... now I know where I stand .... lol ... next semester I got to work harder already .... as for now ... I need a serious nap ......

Last Forensic ..
I know I am supposed to be studing now , but I must share this ......
Today I had my last forensic lesson. We had a crime scene officer as our guest lecturer. Wa ... it was damn interesting ... lots of REAL crime scene footage ... some really gruesome ....
I think I learn most today in term of application of the previous knowledge .... We even learned how to interview people .... there are skills to make people talk even with the presence of lawyer and without violence ....
Well ... as much fun as I had today , need to study ...

Hann Jiunn in Singapore ....
Last Sunday Hann Jiunn came to Singapore for his vacation .... He is our FIRST guest in Singapore ( considering Wei Han and I are gonna stay here for at least 7 years ... so treat ourselves as local already ... perasan a bit la ... ) ... Anyway , I'll like to briefly talk about what we did in these few days ...
DAY 1 ( SUNDAY )
Hann Jiunn arrived at Changi airport . He had to take the MRT to Jurong and Wei Han picked him up from there . Changi was too far from NTU so we couldn't go all the way there .... ( even though SOMEONE is dying to go there and have a look ... )
That night we had dinner together at Canteen 2 ( supposedly the best canteen in NTU ... ) . All of us had chicken rice and ICE-CREAM WAFFLE !!! My favourite dessert in NTU ...
Then we went back to Wei Han's room. Since my roommate has quite a different lifestyle, I asked Hann Jiunn to stay over at Wei Han's place. We caught up and talked a lot until I forgot about the time. I ended up staying over at Wei Han's place as well .... thanks for the singlet and the blanket ....lol .
DAY 2 ( MONDAY )
It was more of a studying day for Hann Jiunn. I brought him to my Organic Chemistry tutorial which has the prettiest tutor. Wei Han brought him to Physics and Material Science lectures .... can experience university life a bit ... lol .
At night Sin Yee came to NTU ( her first visit ) .... so we had our dinner at Sakae Sushi in NTU ....
Dinner at Sakae Sushi ....
Sin Yee bought Hann Jiunn his birthday present .... a bag full of hand washing liquid , cosmetic masks , lip bum etc ... all PINK !!! ....
Hann Jiunn's excitement for PINKS ....
DAY 3 ( TUESDAY )
In the morning Sin Yee and Hann Jiunn went out to NUS to have a look .. while Wei Han and I were having class ...
At night , we went out to Bugis to shop and have a look ....
We had Malaysian food ( so ironic .... Malaysians came to Singapore to eat Malaysia food ) , yet the taste was out ..... insulting Malaysia I tell you ....
Our dinner .... MALAYSIAN wantan noodle and 奶茶 ...
Malaysian Mi Goreng .... got tomato sauce inside ... like fake Prada ...
Wei Han , Hann Jiunn and Sin Yee ...
Wei Han , Hann Jiunn and I ... We were supposed to show how long the escalator was ....
I guess this shows better ... it was 4-floors long ....
Rooftop .... how romantic ....
Mall toilet ....
Malaysian Mi Goreng .... got tomato sauce inside ... like fake Prada ...
Then we walked around the streets , looking around .... and found lots of SEX SHOP .... but must be above the age of 23 only can enter .... haih .... had to turn away and go .... lol. We ended up in a new shopping mall in Bugis ... I forgot its name already ...

DAY 4 ( WEDNESDAY )
Morning Wei Han skipped his class and went to lepak around Singapore with Hann Jiunn while Sin Yee and I were stuck in our classes .....
At night we went to the most famous street .... GEYLANG STREET !!!
Geylang street ... see the no entry sign ... I wonder what it means ...
Then we had dinner .... Claypot Rice at Geylang street ....
Nice or not ?? ... ( from the left ) ... Fried Soft Shell Crab, Claypot Rice, Vegetable, Fried sotong wrapped with Chicken skin
Hann Jiunn cooking the rice .... lol ...
Mmmmmmm .....
Nothing was left behind ....
Hann Jiunn cooking the rice .... lol ...
Mmmmmmm .....
Nothing was left behind ....
Until the bill came ........
WT* !!!! SGD 868.80 !!!! for FOUR person ??!!!
Haha ... it was SGD68.80 ... mistake I guess ... Hann Jiunn's treat ... Thanks again !
Then we hang around Geylang street, observing the people and the things they do here .... looking for what this street is famous for in the first place .... LOL .... THE FOOD of course !!!
Ironically, we found a few temples and mosques here ... I wonder what kind of message they are trying to convey ....
Geylang Street ......
DAY5 ( THURSDAY )
Last day here for Hann Jiunn. He went to shopping at Jurong Point in the morning. Then we had our last lunch together at Hall 9 ( supposedly having the best Western food in NTU ... ) .... Hann Jiunn's treat again ...
We went back to Wei Han's room. He bought each of us a whole big can of biscuits ... exactly what I needed .... Thank you .... Hann Jiunn packed his stuff and went off to Changi .... while both of us ...... came back to reality ..... for me is Bread days again .... lol
We all had a lot of fun with Hann Jiunn ... we wouldn't have gone out so frequently if there was no such excuse .... so anyone who is free ( especially those in Australia who are going to have their semester break soon ) .... feel free to come to Singapore .... accommodation is taken care of ( for guys only .... ) ....
I feel like the Ministry of Tourism owes me now ....

First Taste of Getting Drunk ...
Don't be misled by the title . I wasn't drunk , but this is and will be the closest I will ever get to that .... The suffering was too much ...
Yesterday night was a Friday night . I just finished my volleyball practice which by the way was our first friendly match against Hall 5 in an indoor volleyball court .... it was a lot of fun ... Anyway , what happens usually on Fridays is that I'll be hanging out with my laptop ( no $$$ ... where got outings ?? ) while Joonas will go out ( G** knows where he goes ) until very late at night ...
So I slept at about 2am ( which was pretty early for friday nights ... usually 4am .... because I was so tired from the training ... ) . Just when I was nicely asleep , Joonas came back ....
Although it was quite dark , I could still him walking funny .... he slammed the door so hard I was instantly wide awake .... He stumbled here and there until he got a hang of himself against his chair .... Ironically still had the time to undress before he went to bed ... The whole thing was quite scary as he couldn't even walk straight to his bed ... I was so scared he was going to fall or something .... with his weight I guess I would have a one or two broken ribs easily ...
So he lied on his bed ... safe and sound ... I was thinking ' Thank GOODNESS .... ' ... then I went back to sleep .... and was awake again when he threw up .... It was so horrifying ..... I didn't dare to turn my head over to him ... the sound of vomit dropping onto the floor and his throat choking again and again .... soon enough the smell of alcohol came out , fuming the room with vodka ....
I couldn't sleep at all . I tried my best to but it didn't work . I ended up waking at 7am and go online .... until I was really really tired only I went back to sleep ....
Although this experience is quite overwhelming to me , there were some points I just didn't get it . For one I didn't see his friends helping him up to the THIRD floor .... and how could he fit the key in correctly into the lock when he was so drunk ??? And to undress before bed ??? I guess I'll never know because I kind of make it a point not to get drunk at all !!!! So to those who have tried in the past ( you know who you are ... lol ... ) I'll be more careful next time .... Getting drunk is so not worth it ...

Not so top after all huh ...
All these years people generally feel very positive about my academic results , I myself am satisfied with it of course .... but here at NTU things have changed ....
Let's take an example . The recent Biochemistry mid-term exam was so so so tough .... really squeezed every single drop of brain matter out of my head and I felt good with the paper because I managed to finish all the questions ( tembak here and there of course ) .... my results are ok ... but wait until you heat this :
" 3 students scored 100% and about 40 scored over 90% "
I was like so stunned when I heard that .... What ???!!! 100% ???!!! 3 PEOPLE SOMEMORE !!! The total number of students in the class is only 200+ ..... there are about 25% of freaking smart geniuses all around the lecture theatre .... And I thought I was good at Biochemistry ...
It feels terrible .... do any of you actually felt this way before ??? This is my first time and I am trying to cope with it .
Well .... don't worry , I won't do anything stupid ... I realized to compete with these geniuses are really useless .... I decided to just try my best ( at least must try to maintain the scholarship ... ) and try to hang out with the more " ordinary " people ....
Well , what am I doing ??? Study study study .... haha ...

Embarrassed ....
I had the most embarrassing experience today ...
After my volleyball training at about 10pm , I headed back to my room and found out I forgot to bring the key and Joonas was apparently out ....of all the times I actually remember to bring the key , it has to be today whereby I forget and he 'gam ngam' went out ....I was sweaty , smelly , tired ... anything you can call after 3 hours of practice ...
Since I wasn't very close to my neighbours , I went downstairs to ask my friend ( who lives right a floor below me ) for help . She was kind enough to invite me in but judging from the pungent smell from my body , I would rather wait outside her room ....
I went to the security guard and he said I have to get the key from the security office ... which was located miles away ... I was too exhausted to move another step , let alone making it all the way to the office . This left me with the last option : to wait for him to come back .....btw , I left my handphone in the room also and no one I knew had his handphone number .... such bad luck ...
So I borrowed my friend's towel , shirt , sandals , shampoo and soap to bathe .... Of course I have to use back the same pants .... And here I am .... writing a post in the computer room .... some people are using the music room for group discussion ... for goodness sake , use the lounge ( which isn't air-conditioned ) ....
I have no idea why my luck can get so bad .... as if SOMEONE is purposely planning this .... haih ....die la ... no revision today ...lol .... and now I owe my friend a big favour ... lol

Cooking ....
Last Sunday evening a few of my friends and I decided to cook Tomyam in Hall 5 .... but it didn't work out .... it turned out that the tomyam paste she bought was for chicken and we only had pork .... so we decided to cook normal chinese meal instead ...
There was a lot work to be done , but we managed to prepare everything within an hour .... ( there were 4 pairs of hands ok ... ) . The menu was as follow :
1 . Rice
2. Fried kangkung ( chinese style )
3. Fried carrot ( don't know what style .... first time trying )
4. Sausage and tomato paste ( from fresh tomato )
5. Fried egg with onion and chinese sausgae aka 腊肠
6. Marinated pork ( cooked using the oven )
7. Watermelon
8. Fruit yogurt ( with kiwi , mango and orange )
Wa .... seems a lot right ??? but we finished everything .... gained like 2 pounds .... but believe it or not ... each of us only paid SGD1 !!!! .... Cuz most of the things was bought from Malaysia .... it was a great experience ....
I was actually planning to try on cooking green bean 糖水 but I was too lazy that day ... I may try it this weekend ....
I guess this will be my routine every Sunday considering there is no canteen in my hall .... Cooking in is the only way to prevent me from dying from starvation ...

Relief ...
There was a misunderstanding between my neighbour downstairs and I 2 days ago .... but thank goodness it was settled yesterday ....
Ok . Now I can focus on my studies already .... have a 3.5 to maintain .... no matter what , I am glad it was put behind us ..... lesson learnt .... probably won't repeat the mistake for a long long time .... lol

I think I was possessed ...
Don't be terrified by the title .... this was what happened ...
Just now while I was playing computer games , I heard a knock at the door ( my roommate was out ) . There was a guy standing in front of me ...
" Do you have a minute ?"
" What is this about ? "
" Well , our hall 7 jam band is currently raising fund to buy new musical instruments . We had to borrow from other halls in the past . Would you like to make a contribution ? A dollar or 2 will help ... "
......Pause .....
It was really awkward ... normally I would just say " NOT INTERESTED " and slam the door .... well , not slamming the door... so rude .... furthermore it was for jam band ... like Christian jam band ..... Every common sense in the world would have done this .... but I didn't know why .... I just went and took out 2dollars and gave it to him ....
OMG .... I feel so stupid now .... All the tasteless meals and bread was all for nothing .... I think I should go for an exorcism ... haha .... even though I don't believe in it .... Bad luck I guess ...

Never eat Chapati in Singapore
Yeserday morning Wei Han and I arrived at Tanjung Pagar KTM station in Singapore and decided to have our breakfast there at an Indian hawker centre ...
Roti Prata ( aka Roti Canai ) was sold there . Roti Kosong was sold at SGD1.00 = RM2.45 ... SO EXPENSIVE !!! Then I saw Chapati at the next stall , only SGD0.50 = RM1.225 .... Still expensice but that was the cheapest food I could get . So I ordered it .
When the waitress came . She asked for SGD3.50 !!! What ?!
" 2 chapatis is SGD1 , and the mutton gravy is SGD2.50 .... "
Omg ... since when gravy is charged seperately ??? Even Wei Han who bought a Roti Telur and tea was cheaper than mine .... not to mention that there was hardly a visible piece of mutton ... all chopped to such small pieces ... I can't take spicy food some more ....
Thinking back how I used to eat so well in Malaysia ... RM40 for sushi ONLY .... dined in at Italiannist ..... SEAFOOD ............ now even Roti Canai I have to calculate first .... I hope W** H** reads this ... next time can belanja me dinner .... lol

One week break
This blog is officially quite outdated ... looking back was like one day sure got 1 post .. haih ...hangat-hangat tahi ayam ....
Anyway , I am having a week of semester break and it's ending tomorrow .... I think Malaysia is the opposite of Singapore .... A place to gain weight , a place to get tan .... a place of super NICE FOOD !!! .... gosh , believe it or not I actually had a list of must-eats before I came back to Malaysia and I managed to complete the list yesterday at Italiannist ...
Ok ... good things have to come to an end . Going back to NTU tonight .... On the bright side , I get to lose weight again ....

Was busy ...
Wa ... I haven't updated my blog for a few days already .... I was very tired ..... so am I now .... well , the things that happened these few days were :
- Wei Han and I are planning to come back to Malaysia next weekend ( most probably Friday night ) ... YES !!! Lots of cheap McDs...
- I didn't fail Chemistry after all .. G** knows what is wrong with my luck .... in fact I got 70marks .... but it was mostly pity marks .... my 3D structures draw until so ugly the professor still gave me pity marks .... most of the guessing questions 'gam ngam hou' tembak correct .... what the .... anyway ... just to compare .... someone actually got 97marks .... he is from Malaysia also .... yeah .... that's the way ... lol .
- I am making progress in my tutorials . I didn't embaress myself as much with my notorious questions ... got to know a few more friends ( mostly from Malaysia .... give me some time la ) ....
- After that long .... full-of-bread weekend , I decided to eat better ... food takes my stress off a bit .. so I tried the soya bean ice-cream yesterday ... kononnya can make me stay awake throughout the lecture but it worked oppositely .... I felt sleepier ...
- Today I learned about toxicology in Forensic Science .... The most common and lethal drug that mankind use is ALCOHOL !!!! .... See ... alcohol poisoning has the highest fatality rate amongst all poisons .... now I got an excuse ( supported statistically ) not to drink !!! Another reason to love forensic science ....
- My roommate and I are getting along better .... he started to play tennis .... so he gets more tired everyday and do less other "stuff" ..... I think we are going to get along well .... but both of us are really dirty.. so far we have never mopped the room at all .... ewww ..... what to do ? I am lazy what ....
I'll be in Malysia for a week . Feel free to ask me out .... I mean it in the most innocent way .

Relief .....
3 days ago I went for the ASEAN scholarship interview . Guess what ? Today morning they replied saying that I GOT IT !!!! omg ....... I am damn hyper ..........
No tuition fee . Daily expenses are being taken care of .....
Technically , I don't have to ask for a single penny from my parents ....
BUT
Reading through the comditions , I have to maintain a CGPA of at least 3.5/5.0 .... Judging from the past Chemistry test , I have got a lot of work to do .....
Anyway , today is totally a McDonald's day ..... wait . I can't . No money . Today is going to be a bread day .....
Hopefully this scholarship will let my parents retire earlier ..... haha .

Compulsive .... but I am so SATISFIED !!!!!
First of all , the title sounds wrong , but it best decribes how I am feeling now .
I went for the fisrt Earthlink ( an environmental club ) meeting yesterday night ..... I was too lazy to walk , so I took the bus .... I ended up being late for the meeting .... sad ... and the time I estimated for dinner was gone as well ..... After the meeting , I was dying from starvation .
Since W** H**'s erhem erhem has come , obviously he is going to spend some "quality" time with erhem erhem la .... I didn't want to eat alone , so I looked around and saw my SAVIOUR !!!! I was so tempted ..... I tried to control myself for so long .............................................................. but my self control was weak , so withount thinking twice . I followed my desire for the first time .....
I approached her ..... and asked her ......
" 1 set of Double Cheeseburger plain , take-away , my preferred drink is Sprite "
" 4 dollars 80 cents sir . "
I quickly gave the money to her before I regret and walked back to my room ..... gosh ! The smell of french fries was so tempting .... but my hands weren't washed yet ( H1N1's side effect ) so I had to hold back .....
The taste of Sprite was too much for me to handle . I have not tasted soft drinks the moment I set foot into Singapore ..... I finished it within a few steps ...... I walked so fast that the people around were like ' Rushing for a flight meh .... ' .
I barked into my room ( after washing my hands ) . The first taste of french fries ..... and cheeseburger ...... For your information , I am addicted to McDonalds .... back in Malaysia at least once in a week I must have it . But my budget in Singapore doesn't permit for McDonalds .... Gosh . I was so hyper !!!
Slowly , the guilt sets in .... die lo ... must save tomorrow . So today I am having 1 meal only .... I purposely woke up a little late ( afternoon ) and drank a lot of water until I make it to the canteen in the evening .... there is a price to pay for compulsive desire ......
I can't wait to go home . I can eat McDonalds everyday .....lol .

I love Forensic Science ...
Today is my second lesson in Forensic Science .... I admit 3 hours lecture is actually quite tough to go through but it was really really interesting !!!
We learned about DNA today ... so if anyone here has any doubt as to whether they are adopted or you think your siblings and you have nothing in common at all .... feel free to find me ... Ok la , I admit I can't do the test .... but I think I know how to read the basis Short Tandem Repeats Capillary Gel Electrophoresis graph .... can tell whether you are biologically compatible or not .... haha .... wah .. berlagak pula ..... it was actually a common sense thing la ....
Then we did some case studies as well .... seems really like CSI ... they gave us some clues .... then the results of the relative tests .... then analyse ..... but no suspect to interview .... haiya .. memang potong steam .....this is the only subject that I am looking forward to for the exam because we can get some real case studies then .... Woohoo !!!
Next week is toxicology .... the name itself is so CSI-ish aready ...... that's it la .... I think I may need a switch in career already ....

PAWS ...
Today is my feeding day .... alright ... sounds very wrong . Let me explain . The first club I joined in NTU was PAWS ... it's a voluntary club to help the cats as there are many cats in the campus ... I am in charge of feeding the cats in Hall 7 ( my hall ) on Sunday .... so far I have only seen about 5 cats ....sad . My partner feeder said there were more than 10 usually ... hmm .... I wonder why they didn't show up for food ...
Anyway , it was really an amazing experience to be close to cats again .... considering I have left one behind in Malaysia for more than a week already ..... this small gesture also took some of my pressure away ...
Next week will be hactic .... Another Maths exam ( thankfully the first exam I did ok ) ..... and Atomic Chemistry coming up ( unfortunately my Organic Chemistry was horrible ..... ) ..... ' Cats are human's best friends ' .....lol

Weird Things only happen in Singapore
Another very weird thing happened today .
I was walking back to my room after my class . I saw a car coming while I was trying to cross the road .... I stepped back and allow the car to pass first .... common sense what ..... later kena langgar or horned then very embaressing .... The weird thing was , the driver stopped the car right before the zebra crossing ..... really , not slow down but he braked the car .... some more it was on a slope ... I was so shocked I didn't react for a second ... then he signaled me to cross the road first .... Wa .... this kind of mentality where to find ?
If in some country M****** , the only thing lying on that zebra crossing will be my dead body .... haih ... next election must VOTE !!!! Choose your government k ... ( this applies to those studying overseas , especially UK people ... must purposely come back and vote ..... )

Forensic Science ...
Today is my first lesson in Forensic Science , and the fourth class for everyone else in the same class ..... I was offered a place in this subject last minute as they said it is very popular ...but special offer for chemistry student .... another reason why I think I may not have made the wrong choice coming here ....
Today we have a guest speaker , Mr T*** . He is a forensic pathologist in Forensic Department in Singapore . Well .... he brought a presentation and lets just say the presentation uses REAL CASE photos ..... omg .... some pictures were really unpleasent ..... but that's the truth about forensic ... and apparently CSI is way tooo glamorous .... he said there is no way 1 CSI member can do all the jobs and wear nice makeup while doing autopsy .... well ..... I still like CSI no matter what .... my advice is don't drive recklessly ... it's a terrible way to die .... the 3 hours lecture wasn't boring at all ....
After that we learned about drugs . How to differentiate between morphine , ketamin , heroin , amphetamine , barbiturate , cocaine ... bla bla bla ..... boring ... see the formula only 'hak ngan fan' .....

TIRED ..............................
Today I only have 4 hours of lecture .... how tiring can it get ?
Yes , it can .
Between the lectures I managed to sneak back and get an hour of sleep before the next lecture . I went for the volleyball try out at 7pm ..... 'gam ngam ho' that time I promised the Malaysian group people for dinner ( including wei han ) ... I thought the try out was going to last about one hour ... TOPS .... but from 7 it went on and went on .... we did spiking training and positioning and then played 3 sets berturut-turut ..... wa .... until 10pm only finished ..... the amount sweat can make Singapore sink already ..... but I couldn't enjoy it more !!!! It was like all the unhappy things just went away ....for a moment la ...
Tomorrow got maths test ..... somemore will contribute to the overall scores and grade ..... thank goodness most of them are from C3 .... wait , useless , I forgot everything already .... tonight I'll try to refresh a little , hopefully I won't fail .....

Miracle
Today while I was waiting for my laundry I went to play the piano in the music room . Then there came a guy entering the music room and took a book out . I quickly gave the piano ( keyboard ) to him ..... curtosy is my policy .... never mind , too much details already . Anyway , what happened was he heard me play the piano and wanted me to teach him piano .....
Wohoo !!!! Means I got income even in university ..... but compared to the last time I taught piano , the rate is quite low even if i convert to RM .... but who cares .... money is money ..... lol

San Xi Lin Men
After the Great Depression , suddenly I got 3 good news come 2gether ( San Xi Lin Men ) .... Yeah ....
1 ) I went to MSA ( Malaysian Something ....not sure what it is Association ) .... for Merdeka celebration . It was a blast , here , free from the government , we were allowed to talk FREELY ..... the committee presented a sketch on Malaysia ..... some of the topics included the mysterious suicide of Tan Beng Beng* , SOME building that happens to NOT have a CCTV .... omg , it was hilarious .... seeing all Malaysians again is so heart warming ....
2 ) I bought a LAPTOP !!! ... it cost me SGD999 ( the cost I tanggung myself .... I am owing my parents money ... ) ... but this means I can go online until super duper late ....previously I could only do this once in a month in my grandma's house .....
3 ) W** H** is here !!!!!!! Although our halls are miles apart .... but I still managed to meet him today . We went shopping and he got a singapore number . The number you will have to get from him la ....
Wa .... what a momentous day ...

First Day of Class
I couldn't sleep very well yesterday .... woke up like about 7am .... thank goodness it rained heavily yesterday .... or else the heat would have killed me before the lessons do .
Today is a super depressing day .... I have never been so emo throughout my life .
I tried to act smart in the morning and ended up getting lost in the campus !!!! .... got map also can get lost ... Geography A for what ??!!! .... but I still managed to find my way back for first class CBC111 (aka - fundamental chemistry) .... I read the notes yesterday and seemed like I have learnt most of them in A Levels .... I thought I was so smart when the lecturer was teaching until 5 minutes later when he asked ' Who can tell me why nitrogen exists as N2 but phosphorus exists as P4 sedangkan they all are in the same group ?' ....
I was speechless .... I never thought of that ... More than 100 nerdy brains ( except mine ) in the class and no one could answer ..... reminds me of the first day in Haslina's class .... he explained and suddenly I have so much respect for me already .... haha . The class was ok ....
Lunch was depressing . I haven't known anyone from my class and therefore ended up eating alone , but I tried to cheer myself up by treating myself a good meal - chicken chop + butter rice for only $3.50 .... about RM8.75 like that .... quite worth it right ?
After lunch was CBC113 (aka - organic chemistry ) ... the sound of it is already dreadful .... today I learned about isomerism and cycloalkane compounds .... I have no idea at all !!! Seriously , I have never felt stupider ... some more when I looked around everyone was like nodding their heads and writing notes sedangkan I just sat there like a moron .... sad ....
Next was PAP181 (aka - fundamental physics ) ..... it was a relief . They are teaching kinematics ( slightly harder than M1 , those who took FM sure can sleep .... ) ... one small good news . The board allows me to be exempted from this subject ( and CBC111 - Fundamental Chemistry ) because of my A Level .... I can still get the Academic Units (AU) for these subjects and no exam for me .... that leaves me with only 3 subjects ..... so I went to the office and register an elective - Forensic Science .... don't know whether can get or not . I also decided to not drop CBC111 because I have so much respect for the lecturer ... lol .
When I came back , my roommate , Jonas ( pronounced as Yonnas ) wasn't around . He didn't have any class today , probably had gone out . Bored .... I saw a bottle of vodka on his table and was like .....'isn't this banned within the hostel?' ... I was so depressed I felt like drinking the whole bottle but considering I have no money to pay him back I dropped the idea ....
My dinner was Instant Mee ....$0.40 ... I am on a super-saving mood .... no la ... actually quite lazy to walk to the canteen already . Then I did my laundry , I am posting this while waiting the washing machine to do its work ....
I'll probably be in front of the computer till 12am again . Need to catch up . Thank goodness weekend is coming . I need a miracle to catch up ..... Without the computer and keyboard ..... real musical keyboard which sounds nothing like piano , I don't how I am going to survive .... W** H** , you faster enrol la .... I sien la what already ....lol .

First Day in NTU ....
I arrived at Singapore at 7.00am today . We took a cab to NTU and he charged us 35% extra !!!!! ..... because it was the peak hour ..... times 2.5 ...... omg , broke la !!!
Today was a super rushy day .... thank goodness my mum knew one of the seniors' mum . She was our tour guide for 6 hours ..... We settled a lot of administration problems and Singaporeans' efficiency is too 'geng' already ..... loan was approved in 10 minutes . Bank account was done in 5 minutes . ATM card was issued in 0 second .... medical examination took only half an hour ( excluding X-ray ) ..... I got my class timetable plus all the previous lecture notes already .... now I can't say 'Malaysia Boleh' anymore ...
Anyway , something very interesting happened today .... When I reached my room and unlocked it , I saw the fan was swithced on and obviously my roommate was already there . Then I saw this 'ang mo' coming out from the nearby washroom with nothing but a piece of towel .... He looked at me with the wierdest stare .... " Is this your room ?"
"Ya," he said .
"Well , I guess I am your roommate" ....
My mum was so shocked she was asking me whether I wanted to change room or not ..... as if 'ang mo's can swallow people .... Anyway , after knowing him a bit , he turned out to be a very nice guy from Finland .... I am still trying to cope with his Finland accent ....
There you go .. my first ... really really tiring day ..... Tomorrow got class somemore .... 4 hours lecture on pure chemistry .... sob ....

NTU ... I am coming
Everything happened so suddenly ....
I still remember on Tuesday after my afternoon nap I came online and found out I got an offer from NTU . My second choice indeed ... Chemistry and Biological Chemistry , but who am I to grumble ??? Since there is not much difference from Biotechnology ( my first choice ) , I accepted the offer .
Today , I just did my passport .... WITHIN 1 hour ONLY !!! Hurray , finally , Malaysia Boleh is not just plain talk ... I couldn't believe its efficiency . Then when I called the NTU office , they said I had to be there latest by tomorrow ..... That's it la ... Graduation Night is tomorrow ... I end up giving up the award and the last chance to see my college friends ..... I have to leave tonight and reach there tomorrow morning ...
Sad .... few days ago , I never saw this coming and suddenly I'll be away from Malaysia . No Malaysian food seems to fill my stomach at all .... I just kept eating and eating ..... I couldn't sleep last night ..... so much to think about ... How I burn my time ? Sudoku .... Did I just sound like a nerd again ( which I am not ) ????
Goodbye ..... next time anyonw comes to Singapore I'll buy you a Roti Canai .... haha ..... Hopefully some of my friends can enter NTU as well ( next year also can .... )

Goodbye ..... next time anyonw comes to Singapore I'll buy you a Roti Canai .... haha ..... Hopefully some of my friends can enter NTU as well ( next year also can .... )

NTU ....
Just when I think the most 'gan jiong' moment was results day , it turned out that it wasn't ....
Yesterday when I was about to take my afternoon nap , suddenly B***** Y*** called . He told me that NTU had replied .... That's it la . There was no Internet in the house . How to check ? I couldn't wait till the next day ... Did I forget to mention I was at my grandmother's house ? I called every single soul ( wait ... i don't believe in souls ... ) who applied to NTU . W** H** graciously turned down my call , he was probably at Yee Eng's house back then .... Then B***** called me again and told me few of my other friends were rejected as well .... gone la .
I asked B to check my status for me ..... there was nothing there except your application is still being processed ... What ??!!! I must check my email . I went through a lot of trouble to get myself online . Yahoo said " No mail " ..... What ??!!! .... Did they even receive my application ???
I called Wh again and thank goodness there was actually someone who hasn't received any emails .... whew .... On the next day , I called the office . They said my application was still being considered ....
The next few days I'll live in fear . Should they reject me ont this , then I'll have to wait for next year ...sob ....

Meaningless
I have no idea what I am doing nowadays .... No jobs , no money , no books .... What is life ??!!! Haha .... I am too shy to ask for jobs anyway . They rejected me right away when I said there is a possibility of me being enrolled into uni before September ... sweat ... so realistic .....
Here I am , helping out in the office . Not so much helping out considering the staffs are doing everything . I just issue some invoices when my parents are not around ( which is like 2 minutes a day when they go to the washroom ) ...... I have to buy lunch for them , do laundry for the family which I HATE so much !!! G** bless computer ...... I can chat and go online and everything during free time ( = 90% of the time ... )
See how I am suffering now ??? That's why I want results day to come soon ... I want to move on ....... I still remembered how I started to count down from day22 .... and in a blink of an eye , it has come down to 2 DAYS !!!! YEAH !!!!
PS : For those who don't look forward to results day , sorry la ..... In an attempt to burn my free time faster , I posted a poll ( again .... ) to see your predictions ..... We'll see how psychic you are .....

Piano exam
This post is four days overdue because the office computer is down ..... I am now blogging from the computer in the Maxims Suite in Genting Hotel ( Thanks to H** B** ) ....
Anyway , I would like to talk about how the piano exam went ....
My exam started from 2pm to 3pm .... I reached Istana Hotel at 12.30pm !!!! Too early ... what to do ? It was raining that day ??? It hasn't rained for a week in Kuala Lumpur and suddenly there was this rain in the middle of a hot afternoon ???!!! Hmm ... I wonder it meant .... lol .
I registered and waited for ONE AND A HALF HOUR .... then something caught up to me .... I was half way through waiting when suddenly I ' Hachoo !!! ' .... Omg .... Right before a piano performance came such a thing ... It would look terrible if this happened in the middle of the exam .... I kept an extra piece of tissue from the washroom just in case ...
At 2pm sharp ( after I submitted my Programme Note to the receptionist ) , I was called in .... Standing in front of me were these two huge 'Ang Mo's .... Both looked elderly and a little scary ... We introduced ourselves . I chose to do Recital first ...
They asked me to try out the piano . The moment I saw 'Yamaha' printed on the GRAND PIANO ... I was like 'Shoot !!!' .... I hate Yamaha ... something about the pitch of this piano just irritates me every time . I tried out and yes , the pitch was very sharp and loud ....typical Yamaha .... There went my Recital ... I think it was less than 30 minutes but they didn't seem to be bothered by it . The missed notes were plentiful ... It was more than the time I practised .... So to pass my Recital is merely possible .... I would be very surprised if it did ....]
I chose Quick Study aka Sight Reading for my second section . It was a two-paged score ( normal ) and I was given 5 minutes to play with it without being judged . The key was D major ... Not bad .... Time signature was 6/8 .... simple rhythm .... Romantic composer ..... I just need to pay more attention to the phrasing and dynamics .... So I started practising then suddenly I saw a 'duplet' sign mixed with three quavers .... there were rests all over as well .... I knew it wasn't going to be so easy !!!! So I spent most of my time working out my duplet rhythm and failed miserably .... I ended up just playing them slower than quaver rhythm ..... Whether I can pass this , I have absolutely no idea ...
Last was Viva Voce aka 'Interview' session . Here were the questions they asked ...
1. Bach - What is Tierce de Picardie ?
My Answer : the third note of a minor key is raised to sound like a major chord .... ( I didn't answer in such fluent English though .... )
2. Beethoven - Tell me a little background of this piece . When was it composed ?
My Answer : first period of his life when he first arrived to Vienna and before he went deaf .... it was composed in 1798 .... Thanks to wikipedia in the morning .. it saved my day .
3. Beethoven - What type of piano did he use ? Was it like the one you just played ?
My Answer - Piano type was pianoforte .... and I guess this piano right here is also pianoforte .... ( I beat around the bush a lot on this ) ..... Thanks to Celeste's express course on Beethoven a day before ....
4. Chopin - Tell me a little about Chopin . Where did he come from ?
My Answer - He was a Polish and was very patriotic towards his country ... this was the only thing I knew about Chopin . It was part of my Programme Note ..... They seemed ok with my answer ...
5. Faure - Do you think Faure as an Impressionist ?
My Answer - No . He was half Late Romanticist and half Impressionist . His work consisted of both styles ... bla bla bla ... boring ....
6. General - What else would you like to tell us or was that something you have prepared but we didn't ask ?
My Answer : 'Crap! ... What sort of question is this ?' ... I had to say something . So I chose from the piece I am most familiar with - Bach . I told them I wasn't asked about the structure of fugue ( Which they asked Celeste ... ) ...
Examiner : So , would you like to tell us about the structure of this fugue ?
My Answer : 'Crap ! .... I didn't study much on fugue ...' So I tried to divert it to something else and said " I would rather compliment his work" ... So I said everything to suck up to him ..... Sad ....
In general , I am 99.99% sure I am going to fail .... it has to be one component or more .... Good news : I won't know it until 8 weeks later and no more piano for me !!!! After 9 years of piano , it felt like I finally graduated ... haha ....

Nervous
Piano exam countdown : 3 days
Honestly , I didn't feel a bit close to this nervous taking A Level exam ( or any other exams for that matter ) .... The reasonS being :
1. I'm so unprepared . My pieces are all over the place . touching is terrible .... slip notes all the time ... my piano teacher said 'no more slip notes for a diploma student !!! ' ....
2. The exam requirement is 35minutes +- 10% .... I timed myself ... it was less than 30minutes .... The moment they find out I didn't perform long enough . Then it's a sure fail ...
3. I didn't touch any theory since Grade 8 . So I'll probably fail Viva voce aka Oral exam ..... They ask somrthign weird ... and I'll be 'Emmmm.............' ......
4. Quick Study .... great . For a person who failed Sight Reading since Grade 6 . What are my chances of passing this ... hmmm ... lets see .... o ya . It's -1 .
I need to pass all three components to get a pass . All three are looking as though they are going to fail . If for G** knows what reason I pass this exam , then I got to reconsider HIM ......
Never mind , A Level results coming out soon .... that will only mean ONE thing ..... I can start uni soon !!! Thank G** .... one more day at home and you will see on news the next day .....

Port Dickson Trip
On the 27th and 28th June , I went to Port Dickson with 15 of my WMS friends . Let the pictures tell the story .
When the weather was less sunny , we went to the compund in front of our house for some physical activities .... We brought volleyball and net ..... but some of us were so innovative we ended up playing more rugby than volleyball .....
We met at the Sentul LRT station . 12 of us were cramped into ONE van but it was very fun .... We caught up a lot in the van ....
Thanks to the considerate van driver , Mr. Wan , we got to watch ' Confession of a Shopaholic ' ... love it 2/10 stars .... ( Transformers only got 2.5/10 alright ... ) .
We met the Bukit Jalil van ( which only have 4 people ) at USJ Caltex station . The van became so comfortable after that .
Finally , after about 1 hour plus in the van , we arrived at our bungalow ..... Look nice ? Wait until I show you the inside .....
Luggage taken out from the van .... still very enthusiastic about our new home .....
Entering the house .... still very positive .....
The sight of the interior of the house was too horrifying for all of us that none of us has taken any pictures ..... It was not so bad .... Just dusty .... quite dusty ... very dusty .... omg ... the feet instantly turned into charcoals ....
We needed to recover from the shock . So we went to a nearby restaurant to have lunch ... got seafood and lots of other dishes .... the price - RM 0 for me ..... thanks to my ex-Bio student , T*** C*** Y*** ....
Too hungry ? Too depressed ? Or was Jia hui on the same table ?
Cleaning starts .... Mop the floor first ....
Is my eyesight getting poorer ? Did I just see my ex-华语 teacher changed her job into a 清洁阿婶 ???
After we cleaned the house , we started our vacation ..... we came 100 miles to Port Dickson for ........ MAHJONG !!!! Haha ..... the 3.5 kg mahjong was worth bringing after all ....
When the weather was less sunny , we went to the compund in front of our house for some physical activities .... We brought volleyball and net ..... but some of us were so innovative we ended up playing more rugby than volleyball .....
Shirt VS skin ..... Why is it so blur ?? Hehe ... 20SXXXX ..... No la , this was taken from Facebook ... poor resolution ....
More more posing time .....
Ok ... Enough is enough ....
When is this going to stop ???
Finally , we went for Banana Boat ride .... RM11 per person .... Three falls ..... And lots of free sea water to drink .... I wished I had brought the camera .... SOME people were having a difficult time getting back onto the boat after we fell from it ..... It was worth every penny .....
Dinner Time !!!! Thanks to Terng Sheng and others who perpared the food !!! Featuring (1) Wee Lik's pasta which was delicious .... thanks to Prego .......
(2) Yee Theng's mushroom soup...thanks to Campbell
(3) Terng Sheng's sausage and bacon ..... undefeatable
(4) Everybody's salad ... er ... I didn't eat .... Sorry .......
(5) Don't know who's Leong Fan Drink .... very thoughtful ............
(6) Terng Sheng's lemonade ... good for sore throat ....
I was so busy eating that I only started taking pictures after dinner ....
Too bloated to do anything .....
More mahjong and cards and ironically chinese chess ....
More mahjong and cards and ironically chinese chess ....
At night , we played ' Pick a card ' game . Very simple . You pick the card with smallest value and you drink one shot of beer or earlier was something stronger than that .... I got so drunk I revealed something which I shouldn't .... remind me again why I don't ever touch alcohol after this .....
Day 2 . Breakfast .
Day 2 . Breakfast .
(1) Orange juice ... thanks to Sunkist
(2) Terng Sheng's scramble egg.........
(3) Terng Sheng's bacon ...................
(4) Bread ... thanks to Gardenia ......
(4) Wee Lik's Maggi goreng .... it was first to finish .....tasted very good indeed .
Cleaning up ... Ready to leave !!! But we left our luggage in the garage . The van was going to arrive a little later ...
So we decided to take a little walk to a further beach ... and the walk wasn't little at all ... we sweat so much .....
The walk and Sun was nothing compared to COCONUTS !!!
Finally , our vans arrived and we all went home safe and sound .....
