Exam

May not be blogging for the whole of this month. Exam starts tomorrow and ends in 17 days time. Hopefully(fingers crossed), I'll be able to scrape through it this time; considering the fact that I'm not really prepared for it and have not been revising my work constantly. I've NEVER been this unprepared for exams before, seriously never. Unless, you take primary school into account. Anyway, GOOD LUCK to everyone having exams around this time (Chem Eng, EE 1st/2nd years, etc and everyone else!)

Gourmet Burger Kitchen (GBK)

I know that I did tell myself that I'm NOT going to GBK anymore; at least for the next few months. I was (note the presence of the word was) seriously extremely sick and tired of the burgers there because I've been there for at least 4 times in a month (There was once I been there twice in 2 consecutive days).

However, I couldn't resist the temptation to go there once again today *smiles* This time, I went there with this kind and sweet senior of mine, Chloe =) Bumped into her when I was in the library and hence, the idea of going out for dinner came up. Initially, both of us were very indecisive of where to go; we wanted to have Fish & Chips but had to give up that idea because there were too many people. After walking from South Kensington to Gloucester Road and vice versa, we were both knackered and decided to just go to GBK. Meal was scrumptious, company was fun and it's an excellent break from work! Sorry Chloe if I disrupted your studies for a lil while! *giggles* I know it's difficult for you to try to please this junior of yours. Hehe.

First time in GBK =)

I love their milk shakes! *drools*

Me in GBK, once again!

P.S. Tsan, Hong, KC: you probably think I'm crazy enough to bring and wear that 4 Alpha shirt in UK! lol. See! Semangat right?! I MISS 4/5 Alpha!!!!!!

1 Down, 8 to Go

Finally, no more management exam in 4 years! wheeeee! I no longer need to mug all the contributions made by F.W.Taylor, J.M.Burns, Charles Handy, Pettinger, Mayo and the list just goes on and on. Honestly, I'm really sick of the word organization, legitimacy and authority. Been seeing and reading too much of it.

Management paper was not as bad as I thought it would be (questions were not that tough) because I could recall the things I've memorized BUT I just felt I did not put in enough examples, did not answer the question at several points and crapped a lot of unnecessary stuffs just to make the essays seem lengthy. Honestly, if they were going to mark me based on my points, it should be fine but if they're expecting concrete arguments, I think I'll do rather badly :( But I'm not complaining this time and the point I'm trying to make here is: I'm not exactly satisfied with the paper but I'm glad that it's all over.

As for now, have to start preparing for the remaining papers. My exam timetable is as follows:

  • 21/5: Digital Electronics
  • 22/5: Fields and Devices
  • 25/5: Communications
  • 30/5: Maths 1
  • 31/5: Maths 2
  • 1/6: Engineering Materials
  • 4/6: Analogue Electronics
  • 6/6: Analysis of Circuits

After that, it'll be all over! Can't wait to travel =) And then, go home!! Been missing a lot of things: family, friends, food, everything!

Wish me luck for my exams! Really need it badly.

Happy Birthday Mom

Got up miraculously early this morning. It's really not because Yin Mei called me at 9am, but I seriously can't sleep! (Thanks Yin Mei for calling me, anyway) Been forcing myself to sleep recently but it doesn't work. I'm losing sleep!!! <-- sign of stress. Anyway, it's Mom's birthday today. Called back home and found out that Mom's not back yet: She's still on her way back from Hong Kong. Then, something struck me that I should get her a gift since it's her birthday! I hastily scrolled through the list of people/friends in my handphone and honestly, I couldn't figure out who to call except for this dear friend of mine, Benjamin. He's perhaps the only one who visits me so often and it is until the extent that the security guards outside could recognise him! (Note that the guards don't even recognise me, at times.) And, I'm certainly not being hyperbolic here. It's sad enough, but true.

What else can I say to Ben? Thank you for being such a great friend! (I don't think you need me to flatter you right? It gets boring at times. You should understand it, by now. Hehe) I know you'll always offer to help me if I ever need it right? =) Gosh, I've been thanking too many people lately. I think it's probably because I have extremely SWEET friends around me! *smile with brims*

I'm really happy, for now; despite the fact that I have a management paper tomorrow and I'm not really prepared for it yet. Mom totally did not see that coming and she was so excited and happy!

I shall now stop elaborating further before I start missing her. =(

P.S. By reading this post, thou shall not assume that I'm mummy's boy because I'm not! *fierce glare*

Mom's Birthday Present :)

This is what happens if

you have been mixing too much with a person by the name of Ong Syn-In.

Janet

Yin Mei

Kim Hong

Me (my very own version of "When studying Circuits")

When I first knew Yin Mei, Janet and Kim Hong, they were NEVER like that! :S Whether it's good or bad, it's up to you to decide.
Anyway, this post is for fun; out of boredom. Hehe.

And, for Joanne a.k.a. Meow! Thank you so much for the lovely good luck card you sent! The card's nice and I love your handwriting =)

Card from Meow

P.S. The pictures above are taken from your Friendster acc. I don't stalk people by keeping those pictures. Hehe!

Better Now: Thank You! =)

I feel a lot better and relaxed now (I'm being myself again). Not that I'm not stressed anymore, but I am no longer bothered by other things. Finally, it's time for me to concentrate and study! Management exam in a weeks time! =(

Anyway, I really have to thank a lot of people for that. It's amazing how you all manage to put up with me. A big THANK YOU to :-
  • The ones who commented on my blog: Audrey, Megan, SP, CC, CM, Vi Vian, Irene, Ken, Aimi, Jing Koon
  • Kim Hong: Thanks for your advise!
  • Janet: You emailed and SMS-ed me from Australia! aww, that was really sweet of you!
  • Joanne: I think you're the worst victim :S I hurled all my nasty thoughts to you. Hehe thanks for being a good listener and sorry yea!
  • Syn-Yi: Thanks for the song and message you sent: "Smile ya & stay happy.Stress only makes u go bald so if u don't wanna waste money go Yun Nam then listen to this.It helps!!" *faint*
  • Tsan

(Gosh, this is tiring! Did I miss anyone out?)

And, this is for Cindy. Thank you for suggesting Janet to text me. I'm very (well not very, but quite) sure that you told KH to do that also. You trained him too well. I asked him and he kept denying that you were the one who suggested him to do that. Both your SMS-es were so similar! Also, thank you for your lovely card and jellies :P

So, here goes my version of what happened on Friday (the 13th); regarding the jellies. Considering the fact that I was so tired on that day, I decided to sleep at 9pm. I was then rudely awoken at around 11pm because of something (I really can't remember what that was). Decided to check my handphone and to my surprise, there were 16 miss calls (8 from YM and 8 from Cindy. Don't worry! Your calls did not wake me up. Honestly, I didn't hear a single thing) :S Anyone on the right mind would definitely be worried and suspect that something might be going on. Found out it was actually nothing and I was told to wait for YM's phone call. Hence, I decided to take a nap while waiting for her call.

After a while, someone knocked on the door and Jonathan(my roommate), as usual, attended the guest. Usually it is his friend but this time, it's Cindy! She came in to pass the card and jellies she made for me. Honestly, I was extremely blur that time. Questions like "Oh what day is it today? Did I forget something? Did I not do something" flooded my mind. And, that was seriously very SWEET of you to do that, Cindy! Thanks! =)

Longan, Banana (this sounds weird), Gula Melaka and Toffee Jelly

I love the card!

Anyway, thought that the banana jelly would taste really BAD! Hehe. But, it turns out not too bad =) My favourite is still the longan although I like banana, on its own :P
