abt myself
Me? A pretty talkative person, haha!! I love playing computer games, particularly because I love cars. I am not a very good subject opener when I'm in conversation, so basically when you talk to me, there'll be some moment in silence, and a few seconds later, I'd talk about absolutely nothing in common that we just spooke, haha!! That's why I'm a boring person, if I get to describe one of my attributes. My English ain't that great either, so that's probably one of the main reason... =P
[To all my indo peeps (others can read as well.. Hope u guys can understand too, heh!)

more, and more relatives.. ;)
Harlow!!
Well, just came back from pooling with my pool buddy Mr M. Seah, and since I'm in school now and I've got nothing else to do, I'm gonna post. I have been procrastinating anyway, so I think it's about time. Hee! I'm in the mood too. :)
Yep! As the title says, my relatives are in town. I'm so happy! OK, maybe I'm exagerating a little bit, but having my extended family in town makes me feel closer to home a little, considering the fact that I haven't seen my parents since CNY. My cousins, from Australia and New York came back a couple of days back along with my American-ised nephew and niece (they couldn't really remember me though, despite sending me a CNY card this year, LOL!), and my aunts. These few days have been fun! Managed to catch up on a lot of things. I'm happy, again. :)
This week I didn't really do much I guess aside from school, CG and YF. Oh oh! Yea! Auditions! It was sooo nerve wrecking! I managed to pull through the songs that they chose. They told me I was good, but I can't really trust their word. I'm sure they said the same thing to the others. I mean, we don't expect them to give their criticisms right in front of our face right? Hahaha! Interview's this Saturday morning, at 8.30!! I wonder what am I gonna do after the interview. I've got nothing to do for about 3 hours plus before my class over at Caldecott Hill. LOL!
And guess what, my N80's spoilt. Haha! I don't know what caused it, but the screen just goes white when the slider's up. I think I've been playing with the slider too much. To make it worse, my warranty's voided 'cuz I don't have the sticker at the back of my phone. I just hope the repair won't be costly. I'm kinda broke. :p
OK, off to watch Friends. Ciao! :)

happy 18th lyana! :)
As the title read.. Yes! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY LYANA! Hope you enjoyed the day. :)
It's really been a tiring past few days indeed. So many things had to be done this week. I'm thankful it's all done already. But that doesn't mean things are going easy in school. IT AIN'T, and it never will. Topics just keep on getting harder and harder. Haha! I hope I'll be able to cope, especially with the quizzes. Damn! I've been failing them! This never happened in the previous semester. I've really got to buck up. Please pray for me OK? So that I'll be more motivated to study. Hee! I really wanna get good grades for this. :))
I've been pretty preoccupied these few days for God knows what reason. I've never had this kinda feeling in my entire life before. Lots of things are going in my mind. Friends, family, school and social life. I feel like I'm being taken too lightly. I don't make friends well. OK, fine. I don't look like an average 19 year-old, I know I'm talkative, but I believe I do have a mindset of one. So can't I be treated like one? Jeez! Sometimes I just wish I could release the other side of me. GRRRR!
Sorry, really emo post. I'll need this weekend, BADLY!! -_-"Gone emo...

Saturday: Watched Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix (GREAT MOVIE) + free drinks & pop-corns and dinner huntingafter the movie, which we finally landed at Peace Centre with KC, John, Eileen, Marcus and a new friend, Hui Fang. Food was good too despite the location! :)
Sunday: Went for YF as usual and briefing for next week's audition, and we met up with KC and Hui Fang to go City Hall to get a present for their classmates. After that it was off to Swee Lee to accompany Marcus get his Roland TD3KW. DAMN COOL LAH!! 101% pure enjoyment I tell ya.. Haha! Anyways, after Swee Lee Marcus parted with his parents while Hui Fang, KC and I went to Centre Point to go for a hair cut. Dinner followd after, and we went to KC's house after. The events that happened... it remains a mystery. Hahahaha! ^_^
OK, time to pay attention in class. Ciao! :)

exhausted..
I think last week's 7 days non-stop classes is taking a toll on me. I'm still soooo tired from it. I've been late for morning classes this week. I mean, REALLY late. I didn't even realise I snoozed my alarm clock. The next thing I know when I woke up was that it was 8AM, and lecture starts at 9. Haha! Oh well, I'm just glad Michael's class is in the afternoon tomorrow. I need my well deserved sleep!! :P
Anyways, this week have been fun. Been playing pool after school with the DBA people, old and new. I just found a new pool place which is nearer to our school. Usually we'd go all the way to Meridien just to play it. But now, we found a new one, which is at the back alley behind our school. The charges are much higher though; $9.80 per hour for 9 foot table, and $10.80 for the tournament's table. But quality wise, it's much better than Meridien's. Yup yup! :))
Today's evening was spent on slacking. After school Marcus and I met up with KC to go walk around at Funan and Sim Lim to go search for mouse, headphones, and mouse pads. We left at about 4-coming-5, Marcus went off to meet up with someone, and I went to KC's place to SLACK! Yeah! Haha! It was fun.. I watched Transformers again on KC's computer. Heee! It still rocks! Get well soon ya KC? Have a speedy recovery! :))
Anyways, bedtime. Off to dreamy land. Ciao!

sma - not school of management! singapore media academy! :)
FIRST OF ALL: HAPPY EARTH DAY!! :)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to subject...
Yupp! The weekend classes had officially begun over at MediaCorp's Singapore Media Academy. I've to say, it was truly a good learning experience. It was a bit unfortunate that we had this session before our Journalism module, because this extra classes at SMA was focused more on journalism. It has been an exhausting 7 days of school non-stop. But I had fun nonetheless. :))
Our lecturer was a journalist himself from Channel NewsAsia, Augustine. You may have heard his voice over some reports, but he rarely appears on camera doing live reporting scenes. He gave us a good real life lessons on how our lives would be like becoming journalist. We were asked to do an assignment on a press conference meeting with the Ministers of the Environment. Like, if we were to be asked to attend, what questions will you ask to the ministers, etc. FORTUNATELY for us, we had the luxury of using the internet to see some outside sources. Technically if I'm a reporter, I'd be assigned to this task right here, right now. In simple term, impromptu. So on my way there I have to actually start preparing on what questions to ask, and make sure that the questions are reasonable and it won't be asked by any other reporters, there's no time to do research on the net. And I'D HAVE TO DO IT in less than an hour! Whoo! Boy, it's waaay much harder than what I had in mind. Hard hard hard work. Oh, and BTW, there's more to that than just this. It's only one half of what we had to do, which I won't elaborate much more. It makes me even more stressed. Haha! :p
On a good note, Augustine was kind enough to let us in to the Channel NewsAsia news studio. We watched on how news were being broadcasted, and what is going on behind the scenes as the news anchor is reading the news. Oh, and we got to meet Sharon Tong too! Very very interesting. It was a dream come true for me, really. :))
I look forward to the weekend classes again! And hopefully I'll get to visit the radio studios next time. :D

Harlow!
Well, these few days have been pretty good. In fact, VERY GOOD! I'm having fun in class, and lecturers are getting better and better as each day passes. I'm really hoping I'll get good grades for the next 2 modules, which are Marketing and Media Technology.
Speaking of grades, look what I received today! :))Yup! I finally got my CIM certificate. It came with the grades, but I'm too shy to post it up here. Pai seh lah! LOL.. Sigh! How I wish it was the Bachelor's certificate instead. Haha! Oh well, guess I'll have to pesevere more for the next 2 years or so. ^_^
Time for packin' up! Laterz peeps!

liang court... interesting :)
Wow. First post of the month. Haha! How time flies.. :p
Well, as the title said.. Hehe! I went to Liang Court yesterday after fetching my sis from church. That was my first visit there. Sorry if I'm a bit, or a lot swakoo, but the place has so many Japanese stuff! Haha! The supermarket is even showing Doraemon in Japanese, and the customers are mainly Japanese. And get this, there's even a Raffles Medical Group Japan. Haha! Very interesting place indeed. We then ate at the restaurant there. The meals were soooooo expensive, 'cuz they're flown directly from Japan. I mean, a California roll costs $6!! Freakin' ex! But food was good, definitely worth a second try. :))
Class was a bit boring today. Half the class skipped lecture today. Amazing, right? LOL. The quiz was postponed and we watched LOTR: The Return of The King. Fell asleep halfway through the movie.
My distant cousin is gonna come to Singapore tomorrow. I wonder how everything will turn out. I guess only time will tell. I'm hoping it'll be good. :)P.S: I know lots of you friends out there are ill.
Marc, Thulasi and Zaim, hope you guys will have a speedy recovery ahead! May not have been a good start of the month, but I believe that it's gonna be a fantastic 4 weeks ahead of us, and we're gonna get through it! Jia you! ;)
