Taking a break from mugging for physics test tomorrow. Actually, it can't be considered to be mugging because i spent 3 hours and have not finish one topic. Anyway, I just thought of blogging about university admission.
Today, Mr Ng spent 1 whole period to talk about NUS. He told us about the NUS open house and I guess no one from my class is going to attend. He went on to talk about the courses and the hostel. Firstly about the courses, he said that what you learn/take in university may not be what you will be doing in the future. You may be taking chemical engineering but you can end up being in computer or network company. This is very true and I feel that the degree will only show that you graduated and it will only help you to get your first job. After which, it doesn't really matter anymore. Then, when we talked about the courses to choose, he went on to tell us that
"you won't know exactly what you want, but you know what you don't want." This is so true! I don't really know what course I want to take because I don't even know whether I am able to enter a university. However, I know what i don't want. I will say no to anything related to computer. Simply because I knew about IT and computer stuffs too well that I am so sick of it. I don't mean that I am a computer genius or what, I mean that I know how IT stuffs works and it can be so boring and useless. IT stuffs are so dead and everyone can learn, nothing special about it. (Unless you know lots of programming and ideas to create wonderful programs)
IT stuffs will be getting very common and everyone else will know what you know sooner or later. Moreover, technology advances so fast that I am unable to catch up. For eg. I just finish understanding about WiFi-g and they came out WiFi-N. I just finish learning how LCD works and they come out OLED screens. Vista just launched and they working on Vienna/fiji. I will never be able to catch up at this rate!! Hence, I give up on these IT stuffs.
I found out that I dislike to sit in front of the computer and talking to someone, but actually no one. It is so boring and no life as it is. I still agree that computer can be a form of entertainment and assist us in our daily life, but it may also be a waste of time. Okay, to cut short, I'm slowly changing the way I think of computers.
Next, I won't take business courses. I listen to my father and accept that business skills can be obtained from experiences in the workforce. Furthermore, I do not have a business for me to manage after i graduate. I won't have the money to start a business too. Business jobs? There are so many people taking business courses in poly too, University graduates may not stand a bigger chance to get the job. I also don't like to read whole chunk of English words and answering those profound economic concepts.
Also, I won't take Chemistry related courses too. I already regretted taking chemistry as one of my H2 subject in JC, I won't repeat the same mistake again. I just have no interest in chemistry.
So, I may end up anywhere else. Actually I'm quite interested in tourism and design. However, my father rejected me going to tourism, nor will he want me to go design. I have no creativity and going into design won't help me to score well. My sis took design. Aerospace will be the next choice. So, I may meet biondi or shakir in university.. haha..
Yup, Mr Ng go on to talk about the grades. There are many ways of assessing, either tutorial-based or project-based or exam-based. And getting a 1st class honors, you need to score all A or the max, few Bs. To get at least a 2nd class, you need to get at least all B. It is dam difficult and yah, it is never easy -.-"
After that, he went on to talk about living in hostel. Yeah~ I always wanted to stay in the hostel to experience living alone. I see my cousins living in there like so fun, and living in the university's hostel was one of my aim when I was young. Yup, then I learnt about the life in the hostel. They have competitions between different blocks and many activities. So fun!! I want to live in the hostels!!! But it will also mean that I will leave my parents alone at home -.-""
That's all for now, finished my noodles and continue to mug till 11.30pm then go sleep. I'm depriving myself of sleep these few days. Wasn't sleeping well also, made myself feel so shag the whole day.
Good luck all!! Cya!!
cheers

YAYSS~~!! WooHooOooO!!!
Chingay Parade ended today and this also marks the end of my volunteering job for this event..! Well, I'm quite happy to be the volunteers for this event and i WANT and WILL participate in this event AGAIN!!! Except for the duty i got assigned to, I'm quite happy with the overall job =)
Ok, let me talk about my duty. My group only had 3 guys and they need 2 guys to do the ticketing at the gates. Okay, I act smart and volunteered to go with another guy, so that i wont be the only guy left to do ushering. So we were brought to this side behind the big mediacorp truck to take charge of the gate. Checking of tickets, open/close the gate, prevent people from coming in, answering questions and getting scolded were our jobs. Somemore, the view is bad!!! The best part is only the firecrackers which are very near us.
The sound from the firecrackers are loud but nice!! You really feel like shouting out for fun at the time they light up the firecrackers. Ohya, today, i finally felt the effect of something exploding. The fireworks are also near us and so when it exploded, it was dam loud and you can feel the effect of it. It's just one wave of energy coming and hit you. Your whole body will feel it. Omg.. you all know what? IT IS DAM SHIOK!!!! I also felt like shouting out "YAY!" when i feel the energy!
Alright, so i think you all should get what i mean. If you don't, it simple means that i didn't get to watch the parade. -.-""
Anyway, the parade is fun and the atmosphere rocks! Other than those demanding public who expect everything from us, the others are great!
As I'm a very good and responsible young man, I didn't take out my phone and take pictures. Not like those "contractors" from some other place, took out their cybershot phone and took group picture while the people are performing!! How disgraceful....
I finally know the feeling of having the WHOLE Orchard Road to ourselves. Walking slowly on the big main road with no one stopping me. It feel so great!!!
Entering areas that people cannot enter and policemen, CIDs can do nothing to stop me from entering =)

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
It's Chinese New Year and it's a beginning of a new year for all the chinese. Everything seems restarting and everyone is hoping for a better life this year. This year is the year of the cute pig!! haha.. actually i don't really have much to say. The chinese new year spirit is already gone for me.
When I'm still a child, I always go back Malaysia in Dec but not on CNY. My relative always ask me and my mother to go back during cny, but we always failed to do so. Partly because of our short 2 days holiday in Singapore compared to Malaysia's 1 week holiday.
At this time few years ago, I will be overseas. I seldom stay in Singapore. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I'm in Singapore during CNY if i'm not wrong. So, I did not really experienced the high spirits and atmosphere during Chinese new year. My mother's side family is very big and I did not sit together with them and have reunion dinner with them before. How I wish i can sit together with a big family and celebrate together...I wish i can really celebrate cny next time.
It's the first day of cny and people usually go to relative houses to bai nian. Well, I'm staying at home until evening then i will visit my grandma in the elderly home. I don't know the relative at my father side at all. I have not seen some of them before. Yup, this also means that my ang bao money will reach a new low this year. It is declining every year....Decline till the time I'm supposed to give ang bao to others.. hahaha...
anyway.. Enjoy your holidays and have fun during cny!!! Especially for the SP people, having their long 10 weeks of holidays.. All the best!!!

I'm not sure about my mood now, don't know whether i shall be guilty or angry.
Let's start.. After the fun chinese new year concert, me and zj went home taking the same bus. 21 came and it is very crowded. I told zj don't board but he boarded, and so i followed. Squeezed through inside and finally found a seat after a few stops.
Well, i sat down and stone awhile. Then i realise there is this guy standing beside me, a little in front of me and behind zj (zj was sitting in front of me). He looks weird and he refused to move in and continued to stand in that position, making some phone calls talking about "i'm in the 21....blah blah blah" Cant really understand what he say.
I looked at him, he looks strong, not very old, at least i don't see white hair. He ain't carrying heavy stuffs and he only have a small backpack. Then, he act to be a little unstable and my mind was thinking of whether i should let him my seat. I considered but i just feel that he is just a normal guy in his 40s and look a little bastard. So i am just lazy to give up my seat. He made a few more calls, took out his SBS transit bus guide and flip flip, make phone calls talking about "i'm in the 21... near.. blah blah blah" Cant understand again.
And in my mind, i was like "ok, if he feel a little unstable later, i will giv him my seat". So that i won't suddenly give up after looking at him standing for so long what. Ohya, i see him like a little despo for one seat because he tried to rush forward when someone alight, but he failed to get the seat. He still strong what..
Ok, after he kept his book, he wasn't really stable and i am ready to give up my seat. But i was too slow and one auntie already stood up and gave him the seat. Ok, then i shall sit there lo. Then i hear him. He took out his book again and flip, made a few calls and i heard ".... in green uniform... ya ya in green uniform....." Of course i can guess what he wants to say. He sure called some organisation and complain about the student in green uniform refused to give up the seat to some old guy. He don't look extremely in need of the seat. I would rather give my seat to another auntie who is smiling and carrying heavy stuffs, but i don't get a chance.
I hate that dam uncle lah. Know how to speak little english, some english educated person, then think that he is so big shot. Complain this and that, typical singaporean? No, i don't hope that he belongs to the typical Singaporeans group. I rather he is the minority, the small portion of bad eggs.
After typing this post, i just realise that i shouldn't feel guilty for this type of person. It will be good if someone gave up his seat, but when there is no one, why make a big fuss out of it? I am not those kind of student who will not give up my seat to some other needy person.

Dam it, my father is trying to control my life again. He asked me about the submission of the NS PE documents. Then, he tell me to email the Police force to apply for it.
TOLD HIM HOW MANY DAM TIMES THAT WE CANT CHOOSE WHERE TO BE POSTED AND HE DONT BELIEVE ME AT ALL. I SAID THAT I CAN CHOOSE IF I SIGN A CONTRACT.
Den he say wad.. no need contract.. just 2 years.. WTH! 2 YEARS not CONTRACT?! 2 years means after NS, i dun go uni but go serve 2 years in police! STUPID! HE DUN EVEN NOE THE WHOLE SITUATION.
I checked the police website and they say, those without NS, can apply and sign a bond of 5 YEARS. 5 dam years! HE DOESNT WAN ME TO STUDY IS IT?!
Those who want to apply while in BMT, can apply and go for interview. But i confirm will fail the interview. And i don't even noe how many years i will be bonded.
EVEN if the 2 years he said was true, means that others will serve 1 and a half years of NS while i serve 2 years. Great eh? Means i will miss one uni intake. Means i will be slower than the others by 1 year. He happy eh?
den i argue with him and he gave me those comments like.. "up to u, it's your lost..tell u liao u dowan listen" WTH! I TELL HIM AND HE DUN BELIEVE. WHEN WILL HE EVER BELIEVE ME?!
My parents even wanted to throw away 5 of my cd-rom boxes. One of them is the Original Windows XP which cost $160, THE DISC IS INSIDE WITH CD KEY and they INSIST that there is NOTHING INSIDE. HOW GREAT. FINE! THROW! IF I NEED IT, JUST BUY VISTA at $340 eh?

Yup, once again I have nothing to do. I cant find my compre paper to do.
Went for Chingay Final Training on Saturday. My group and other 3 groups got selected to be in-charge of the VVIP sector. They choose our group because we are good and follow instructions well, the group leader is very enthu and made sure that all her members know what is going on. lolx, this is what the organiser said.
So, you all may see me on tv, ushering the VVIPs.. haha... My job quiet slack, just have to usher them to their seats then i can enjoy the show at the other side. Furthermore, VVIPs sure will not cause much trouble, their names are pasted on the seats and so they won't have to snatch seats. There will be around 20 to usher them. Compared to having 40 to usher 1400 audience, mine is very slack!
Well, Valentine's day is coming. Wish all a Happy Valentine's day. As usual, will be sleeping at home. hahaha! Or maybe go for the rehearsal for chinese new year performance.

I am dam moody these few days and today i am angry. Gonna vent my anger online.
What's the big problem with you? Why do you have to shoot me to destroy my confidence and determination? I hinted so many times not to shoot me and you just have to do it. Rubbish? You can't even carry out what you said you want to do. Maybe your words are rubbish,BUT never will be mine. Go on and give up on me. I don't need you since you don't trust me. Time shall uncover everything. Let your rubbish be true rubbish and what I said will NEVER be rubbish.
I don't wish the same argument as in my sec sch to happen again. Don't make me hate you and go against you.
I hate people who don't trust me and doubt my abilities. I am not joking.

I am feeling so sian now.. Although some interesting things happened today, but i am still feeling so sian.. so weird.
I'm quite tired even though i slept quite long yesterday night. So many things still left undone, so many things to achieve, so many goals in front of me. So many arguments that will happen. Things are just so unpredictable. The world is so small and things happen around me, unpredictable stuffs.
I want to try different personalities and be not myself for some days. It seems quite fun to have certain personalities.. haha..
Anyway, signing off... going to sleep.
Ohya, chinese new year is coming, my house received 5 new cupboards that i find useless. Long story, this results in another argument. My TV in the living room got some problems and could not switch on, gonna have another argument soon. So sick of all these...
cya soon~
