The time comes again when i feel lost and stressed, i'm worried that i wouldn't be able to make it through this semester. I'm just leaving it up to God, He will make a way.
Well, i'm off to study again. I'll see you in a few days. 2 more papers, tomorrow's MDBS and Friday's OOPG. And then i'm off to RCIY camp for the next few days till sun. i'll see you all after that. Till then, have fun!
it's been a while since i last blogged. Well, today i had a very successful stint at hosting the National PowerPoint Competition for Secondary Schools organised by the Temasek Info Tech School.
First of all, i would like to congratulate the winners. You guys really did well!
And i think i did well as emcee too! haha...Well that's what Ms Serena Low, Ms Judy Pereira and Ms Lynn Ng said. And many thanks for giving me this opportunity to be the emcee for such a great event.
I'm quite impressed by the way i actually ad-lib in between the presentations.
This week has been quite fun. Its study week, and i spent 2 days out of the 5 days studying. Shitzos, i better start pulling up my socks man.
Today was Ressa's close fren Isk's birthday, So they went out to get him a cake and came back and celebrated whilst waiting for my event to finish and i had to finish the leftovers...haha...
Well here are some pictures of the day. Enjoy!
Happy Bofday to Isk! woops! Haha...one of the worst shots of Ressa, she really looks hideous...Haha What were they looking at? Yaya, Ruz and yours truly! Don't you think i look dashing in that??? haha...
i'll be there for you.... haha...that's the themesong of the hit series Friends.
yes, today's topic is friends.
Right from the beginning of time, man has been in need of good and close friends.
And definitely, i don't lack good friends. today, this is the time to acknowldege my good friends and the joy and love they've given me. . . . . 1st up its Brendan mark Foo aka BMF. This guy is very smart, yet stupid. We've been so close for the last 2 years, and i think there's many more years to come. We share everything man. Family structure and hobbies, except that i don't like collecting graphic novels like you do. This guy makes me smile and sometimes makes my blood boil. haha...
next is Ms Maressa Zahirah. This babe, we go everywhere man. We hang out with each other like mad that people thing that we're together. This girl makes me smile and makes me feel down man...sometimes she really shoots me till my pride hits rock bottom. Sigh...but after tt she makes me laugh lar. Cool babe i tell you.
den its Mr Augustine Soong. this cool dude, if it wasnt for him, i wouldn't have a good time at SJMM. the best man for a good jamming session haha...his guitar skills are superb. Good person to hang out with. Dude, we write songs during hols k??? haha....tt's like long overdue haha...
the next person is Ms Stephanie Joan Neubronner. my groupie mate. We bully each other, this girl is super fun to make fun of...But she has her fair share of bullying me too...She's one person that i can discuss my spirituality with. She may be shallow but her talk is really good...haha...lurve ya groupie mate! (gawd...tt sounded so mobile...haha)
then there's yaya...the blur one...my second sis. She always has encouraging words for me...but sometimes she scolds me too....haha...she puts a smile on my face man...especially with her "i-need-to-go-to-the-toilet" dance...haha...you rock babe.
finally there's hitt...the one who's always not around. The one whom i make fun of always man...babe slenger. haha...She doesnt stop talking about cute guys...haiz....wake up babe! haha...are all KC girls like tt??? haha
ok....i have many other frens whom i havent mentioned. but jus know that YOU! have a special place in my heart too! thanks to all you who have made a difference in my life, without you, i wouldnt be who i am today. i may not be successful, but i'm contented with the joy and happiness that i have from all of you.
one more thing, i have a habit of saving the best for last...this Someone has made a fantastic and biggest change in my life... . . . Jesus
this man, loves me for who i am. Even when i fail he chooses to love me and forgive when i ask. how many times have i failed to do your will or pray, but yet you still listen to my cry. thank you Lord. Love you so much, Jesus, love you so much.
till tomorrow, my name is nicholas and i thank you for reading my blog.
Yes, i've finally changed the blogskin...to the relief of many of my friends who say that my previous blogskin was too bright.
well, i finally found one that i like. This one has got to do with Medieval times...I really think its cool man...i like all these type of medieval, classical and renaissance type of things. King Arthur, Joan of Arc and blah blahs...i like all these old, classical stuff...even medieval chinese...but i wouldnt wanna have ancient chinese themes as my blog rite? It'll look so chinese wayang lar...

But i went to tampines...to meet ressa and miz yaya...haha...i wanted to get the phone cover like ressa's, but i got a pouch instead cos the ones that i saw were seriously hideous...
Den i wanted to get fishes for my tank...and we walked to the other side of tamp to take a look...not much...so we decided to go to the shops opposite TP to take a look....and we went to take a bus at interchange, but we had an adventure man...something malu happened...not gonna tell you... :p
so finally we reached the fish shop and i bought 5 fishes for $1.90! what a bargain man!
i'll show you the fishes soon...but here's a few pictures of today...hee!
We were walking and we saw this whole army of ants...disgusting... More ants....anyone watched ant bully yet?
The two girls again....acting cute... oh my..see what a 3.2 megapixels camera can do? haha....

Received an SMS from Dad today, he's gonna book a chalet at downtown east for 4 days in sept....for no rhyme or reason he books it....that's kinda weird...and one things for sure, our family has never booked a chalet before...
Wonder what's going on??? oh well, we shall see...
Oh, before i forget, i'm going back to BB to work during my sept hols...with ressa lar...she wanted a job, so i asked me auntie. and the auntie said ok right away...Love me auntie...

Disclaimer: we're really not together lar...don't you get it?!?!
I'll say it once and not anymore...Dont get wrong ideas, people, we just click very well...She just happens to think how i tink...and i just happen to bitch how she bitches....get it?!?! period
Haha...i'm saying this because word has been going round that we're together...we just happen to have almost similar time schedules that's why you always see us walking around together...Get your facts right first, before you open your gap....
its me again....giving you your daily dose of reports and events happening in my life and around...surely my life involves you, otherwise you wound'nt be reading this ain't it?
Haha....
well...today i went to church and attended mass with Stef and the ZJ group...and i haven't stopped seeing stef until like 6 pm...oh my....tt's because we went to ikea with her mum and sis and after tt met brendan there...
Feel so happy catching up with this group of close frens... i dun feel like typing much...so here's a few pictures of stef being herself, plain retarded...look!
Stef, being stupid in church...
Stef, being stupid in BMF's house...read the sign behind her...it says "License to bullshit"
again?!?! yes, don't think anymore, she is nuts! Oh, look, its the Mr P lamp, found in BMF's house
Oh....look! there's gonna be a new ikea at Tampines...how cool???
i've gotten my new phone...Sony Ericsson K800i. It looks marvellously stylish...haha Look! Sony Ericsson K800i, and who could have ever forgotten Mr P!
haha....i think it's really by God's grace that i got this phone today man...Mumsie told me that she's gonna get it for me next month...
but this morning she woke me up and told me that her brother my uncle wanted to get a new phone...so she asked if i wanted to follow or not....so i told her why not take the chance to change my phone...and she was kinda hesitant...so i went to bathe and everything...then while she was tending to my little sister, i told her that i'm gonna bring along my phone and charger just in case we can trade in for my new phone...you know when i say such things, it kinda seals the deal???
So obviously my mum was like...."Er....ok..." den when we went to Comcentre, my mum saw the deal which was $228, she said hmm...$228...tt's very cheap...so i obviously agreed...den she went over to the sales desk and asked for my uncle's phone and mine...but mine wasnt $228 because $228 is for a new line and tt price plan was higher than my present plan...so she looked at me and i looked away...den my mum was like "oh....we wanna trade in my son's N6680!" so the lady said took my phone and subtracted the amount and we paid $278 for my new phone...
Haha...so in comes K800i and out goes N6680...you know i really loved my nokia phone a lot?... tt phone follwed me everywhere man...
Haha...oh, before i forget...i already booked the tickets to Forbidden City:Portrait of an Empress. yay!!! missed the previous 2 runs...so this time i vowed not to miss it...so we're going in sept...yeah!
oh...and dad paid for me...weehoo!
ok...gotta sleep now....so tired and happy...haha...
if you didnt know, mext week is the last week of school before my exams...How great can that get??? Time flies very fast...
Anyway, just watched SI, and Rahimah is out. Can't feel any happier...Dont you guys think that she's very plastic? She acts all emo and rock but it doesnt come out nice or look good on her??? And i always think that she can't speak properly(ressa, this is a perfct example of eating on your words....) yes, she chews on her words and can't speak properly...I don't mean to criticise her...But here's one tip, you voice isn't bad...Just that you have to change your image to suit the general audience. If you are gonna continue like this, people will just think of you as those Mat rockerz hanging outside peninsula plaza...Dont be discouraged...there are people worse than you...
By the way, i wonder what's all this thing about Jacintha and Ken having tension between them...If SI is trying to recreate something like how Paula and Simon quarrel on AI, i suggest they don't even think of it and get something original.
Urgh...this post sounds bad...i'm gonna do my report now....cya guys...
Oh, btw....I love Kit Chan and her song "Home" which she sang just now...
By the way, if you are reading this and you are not from Singapore and you don't know where Singapore is, it's our nation's 41st birthday. And no, Singapore isn't in China or Timbattu!
So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!!
I'm in a very patriotic mood today...haha....you know how random i can get....haha...
So anyway, today has been great!!! Started off the day with Bowling and nice lunch with SJMM...we had Youth and Seniors championship....we won....guessed correctly??? haha...
Played at Chinese Swimming Club....beautiful place i tell you, and we ate there too...had lamb chop which was alright. But i gotta tell you that the Pacific Cream Dory was nothing but EXCELLENT. Not gonna describe to you how goo it was....But you need to know that its excellent.
Den came home and watched NDP...i guessed wad Julian and Gus said was right, yearin year out, its the same thing...But i think what made this year's NDP special, was that it's gonna be held at National Stadium for the very last time...in addition, this year's choreography was good. Done by Glen Goei...he was the man behind the IOC opening ceremony which was also excellent...
Ok, think i'm done with blogging for tonight. Will see you guys tomorrow...gonna bathe and finish up my OOPG...have fun...
This is home, truely, where i know i must be, where my dreams wait for me, where that river always flows. This is home, surely, as my senses tell me, this is where i won't be alone, for this is where i know its home...
for this is where i know i'm home....... Copyright. Dick Lee 1998
today i just feel so blessed to have a new day to live and enjoy. Just this sudden and random feeling. I mean the past few weeks have been terrible and i think i got off to a new week on a good note. Praise God!!!
I passed my CARC CS2 man...Priase God!!! Hahaa....i was quite worried that i might fail this one...just felt so discouraged after the term test...But i think if i put in the effort, i can definitely do it...
Now i'm going to start on my OOPG...and boy oh boy....ressa's very late for her OOPG lesson...haha....here's a secret: she's never early or punctual for lessons...haha...she's gonna kill me for this man....haha
Somehow, i feel light and happy today....feels like liberation....haha
Hello, i just got one heavy load off my back....all students in MWC say weehoo! WEEHOO!!!
haha...today, all of us handed in our MDBS projects....and we cant help but feel so liberated...except those of you who havent handed in...tsk tsk! quick hand in lar, still reading this for wad?!?!
HAha...but oh no! Msg from TP mail: All students taking CDS under School of IGS are reminded to report for their tests 15 mins before the commencement of their tests. Leadership and Character: 1pm(please be seated by 12.45pm). Introduction to Psychology:....blah blah...
OH no....just when you get one load off your back, you still have to walk on with another load on your back....how tiring and lousy....bleh...
not forgetting my OOPG assignment which is due next fri, and then Exams after that. When will this shit end???
Dad has mentioned to me about studying in Aussie...but i'm really not sure man....I am struggling with MWC and on the other hand, i can't bear to leave my friends here....Oh my!
I think from next week, i'm gonna "pia"(run all the way)! I'm gonna study hard and not miss anymore lessons or lectures....blah...so if anyone of you see me skipping any lessons, pls give me a knock on the head....
Ok, on to things that happened today...
I got up at 1050 today and took a cab to school. i swear the cab driver was either queer or weird! from the time i boarded the cab until we reached TP lift lobby A, he didn't stop talking. here's the conversation we had
Taxi Ah Pek: Why you go school so late ar? Exam ar? Me: No lar, my lesson starts at 2. Taxi Ah Pek: You know ar, in the mornings, i always send pretty girls to yor school at 8. Me: *smile* Taxi Ah Pek: That means hor, you go to school so late, all the girls leave already lar, so you miss them lar? Me: No lar, somtimes their lessons end later than mine, and i have lessons at 8 on some days too! Taxi Ah Pek: Aiya, you know ar, i also want to study leh. Got pretty pretty ger to see...you tink can or not ar? Me: Uncle, "huo dao lao, xue dao lao!"(loosely translated: Live till old, learn till old). Taxi Ah pek: But i only got primary school education leh... Me: Orh, then you ask the school lor(Sarcastically) . . . . . ....... Taxi AH pek: Eh! why you go school so early ar? lesson at 2 go at 1130 for wad? Since you so early, i bring you on a joyride lar, we go Changi Airport... Me: haha...no thanks, i got work to do in school... Taxi Ah Pek: Aiya, never mind lar, no rush mar...i bring you lar free one! Me: haha, sorry...cannot lar...got project to finish...
wuh...this ah pek is mad i tell you...what is trying to do? I already have a headache and you want to bring me on a joyride to and talk more nonsense to me? I thought he was weird...but ressa told me he might be gay....mobile! Argh!!!
The more i think, the more i get worried...what if he really turns out to be gay and kidnaps me....blah....
two types of cabbies i don't like. 1. Those who dun drive properly, they brake like they just killed something...2. Those who talk a lot...
you know, i'm a man of few words....i dun really talk much(like real...) and obviously i dun like talking too much in the car...serious! You find me the quietest when i'm in a car...my parents can vouch for that...
Ok, so i told this to ressa and yaya...and something funny happened...yaya was sitting in between me and ressa and she was reading readin something from my laptop...and when i told ressa, yaya was like "wad??? who's gay???"
ressa and me our first reaction was looking at each other and screamed at yaya...haha
that's yaya for you man...sometimes, she's really the cluelest in our group...haha...
here's some photos: this one taken by ressa...she must be bored... the apllied science male toilet...the guys must have poured Ammonia Accidents do happen... Didnt i say that ressa was bored????
u know, i've spent the whole day on MDBS....it's really scary and irritating....i'm getting sick of it...it's by far the most boring and complicated subject that i've done....even oopg is to a certain extent fun....yes...quote me, unquote me...
luckily i have friends who bother to help me....hmm....that reminds me...i should blog about the frens that i have in school, church and outside...one day....when i have time then....
i had cmsk2 today....good thing we didnt have to watch another boring video....did a roleplay on meetings...think its quite fun....haha....anyway, my tutorial group was asked to do this video montage thing for teacher's day...as a form of gratitude for the lecturers...so we had to come up with ideas...and i bet my idea was the lamestand most boring...i suggested we look into the camera and smile and wave for the duration of the video clip...i mean, its something unique rite? haha...
so in the end marc came up with this brilliant idea(actually he stole it from the net...) to have me and him run into class and three other girls saying at the end of it "wonderful teachers like you, make us run to classes..." haha....quite cool i think....but since when do we run into class because we are interested or the teacher is good? more like we are late and if we are late for this lesson, we'll be debarred or something...haha
and den the whole class decided to do as a group, saying : "System.out.println (Happy Teacher's Day)!!!"
brilliant!!! IT students! Woohoo!
bluek!!!
i'm off to continue my assignment now...wish me luck...
I'm definitely not very happy....and its all because of engine students...bleddy irresponsible bunch of people.
well...just got reminded....not all engine students are bad...some are fine people...but those who think that they're smart and can speak english like caucasians...read this:
first, to that group of latecomers: get this straight. when you are being told that the presentation starts at 4pm. be there at 3.45 or something. you jolly well know that you are bring graded for this presentation. so be there PUNCTUALLY! And dun u even dare stroll, i repeat stroll in, when you're late. well, its highly unfortunate that your group member who was all alone on time, drew the first slot. becos of you, we had to wait 20 f***ing minutes. and my group who was obviously supposed to present next week, had to be brought forward to present this week. While i understand that my group being not prepared is our own fault, still you were late. get it???
now on to you, St Pat's guy...i hate to say this. You'r a disgrace to that school. My fren is someone whom i respect from that school. but you, you suck!
You knew well and good that your slides were too much, even the tutor said so. But yet you took so long to present it after i cut hell of a lot for you...you took more than 10 mins...how is that possible??? everyone gets 5 mins...and you?! more than 10, is that being fair to the rest of us??? i'll need to apologise to our group member for having stopping him from continuing because the last part was "moral leadership"and i had to present it cos it was my part, was a heavily graded portion. I'm really sorry, JH!
I haven't finish....dun use words that you dun even know how to pronounce...big words like incarcerated...this is not an essay test where big words matter...and where was the piece of paper which i printed for you which had all your parts on it? you kept reading from the screen, no eye contact with the audience. and dun cut in while i'm trying to answer the people's questions. its very rude! and it didnt happen just once, it happen many times...i answered, they understood and you interrupted and they got confused again. how smart of you man! ought to be shot!
now to everyone who's reading this...i apologise for having this post sound so harsh and sharp. I'm sorry for using words that may come to you as uncouth. I'm having a bitch fit. Becos of the presentation, which didnt go to well. May it serve as a lesson to me and a warning for all those planning to work with engine students in CDS.
Disclaimer: I fully understand that not all engineering students are like what i mentioned. So if you are reading this, and you are an engineering students and you feel accused and wronged, i offer my most sincere apology.
This morning, i got into a lift and i got pissed...
i got into the first lift and i saw that all the buttons were pressed. I live on the 13th floor, and if all the other buttons are pressed, it'll bleddy stop on 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and finally 1st storey...
so i got irritated and got out on the 10th level and waited for the next lift. Which ass-swine was so bored as to do that early in the morning? please do something more productive!!!
anyway, i've finally completed the dreadful leadership project and my presentation is either in 57 mins or next week. Pls pray that i get to draw a lot to do it next week.
After meeting ressa's engine friend, i've finally come to a conclusion that engine students are dumb people. They seriously need some help in thinking. no wonder my uncle says that teaching there makes your blood boil like water in a kettle.
So, i have made a decision not to choose any CDS that have tutorials in the engine school. otherwise, my blood will boil too!
well, i just finished watching tv...and i'm back to blog...
was watching ABC DJ just now, and i thought it was rather funny, cos the main character, DJ, is an ABC(shame on you, if you didnt know it meant American Born Chinese). and he met this cute chinese chick from china, and all she speaks is putonghua(mandarin). So his chinese is worst than Brendan's(if you ever heard him order food in chinese, you would rather choose the easy way out to order for him in ENGLISH..) haha...
and he doesnt even know the basics of chinese and his guardian family had to teach him...and the guardian's daughter tried to make a fool out of him by teaching him to say "your face is like a pimple that i want to squeeze", when he wanted to learn how to say "your skin is soft to the touch".
ok...coincidentally, i was speaking about the weird pronunciation and funny accents of a lot of people...this people seriously don't know how to use accents properly. Point to note, if you're not of that race or creed, please don't ever try to speak with that accent! Unless you can do it well and carry it off, pls don't ever try...or i'll definitely give you a sharp look and correct you.
I applaud people's efforts to try to speak proper english. but if you haven't even grasped the english language properly, pls dun try to put on an American, British or worst still, Jamaican accent! it really won't look good on you.
Anyway, off to events that happened today. remember the days when ressa, yaya, hitt and me used to walk down the concourse together laughing and talking? well, it happened again today after a long long time...here's a photo of the three of them at the lab...i'm not in the photo becos, i being the camera shy guy, am helping to take that photo... Look...3 bimbos...haha
recently, i dunno where or what i've given my email to...and spam emails have been flooding my gmail...irritating...
ok....i have cmaths later...and i hate it...i think that group of freshies are the worst i've seen man...they can't even shut their gaps during a class test...the tutor is a nice lady...but its the group of freshies that make me hate the class...freshits!
today seems like a good day...blah...think i started on a right note...blah...
i dunno wad to type now man...writer's blog(block...get it??) ...haha...okok...
alright, i seriously dunno wad to type lar...i'll see you guys tonight! maybe by then, i got more news to report...
nicholas Lee, reporting live from IT3-5-55, for Channel nick-ed..
First things first, i don't think i'm gonna attend my oopg lab tomorrow...i wanna sleep hurhur...and i'm gonna bring my laptop to school....so that i can complete that dreadful Leadership project...with theat group of engine students...
Just finished watching the BBC proms night. I think the english people are quite cool...apart from their interesting accent, i think that they are a bunch of fun people. i mean, who goes to an orchestral performance and sings along to the tunes that they play, or even bring large horns to create weird noises and get this, its a norm!...well its the BBC prom..a yearly event that the english deck out in their best and every part of the united kingdom is linked together via satellite...and the whole country rise to sing "Land of Hope and Glory".
Well, a new day has begun, and i'm seriously a little upset with what happened yesterday...was a little moody...dunno wad got into me...but didnt feel like myself, eyes were puffed up, listless...and irritable...to all those whom i've irritated or screamed at, i'm really sorry...especially YOU!
oh well...am gonna go to bed now...gonna wake up tomorrow to go for oopg tutorial and try to complete the dreadful leadership project...regret taking up that subject...blah...
by the way...here's some pictures that i took with ressa, when we were at KFC with Sayeda(hope i spelt your name correctly :p)...and that new guy there, he's Arun, some guy fren of sayeda's...he's from SJI...hard to tell....bleh...
OK...on the left is sayeda and ressa...and on the right...that's me lar...
ok...that's me acting stupid...and that's Arun...that Josephian...
ok i'm going now...till then~
cheers! *poof*
