Personal Blather!

Last weekend in Pattaya... >.<

Pretty uneventful... though I'm still worried about things I have to do when I get back...

There's Uni stuff and then there's some errands and bills to pay... *shrug*

I seriously do not have much to write... I've eaten in a seafood restaurant, had Indian cuisine, and KFC (which was super hot... -_-) over the last weekend... not exactly superb, but quite nice... ^_^

I got nothing much to write... except there's a reminder for myself which I'll post here... Contact NUS ASAP! Send PAYMENT!

Oh, and the CHEQUE! ^_^

I am so PEEVED!

The University I applied to really did a great job I tell you...

I'll quote from the emails they sent me

Email 1 dated 21st April 2004:
"Congratulations on achieving outstanding academic excellence to be offered early admissions to ***.

We would like to confirm our offer of the XXX Scholarship to you for studies in one of the two *** undergraduate courses offered to you. We will send you the offer letter in 2 weeks time, after you have confirmed the course you wish to accept at *** by 22 April 2004.

We look forward to having you to be part of ***.

Regards, (Name ommited)"

Email 2 dated 22nd April 2004:
"kindly note that you are shortlisted for interview for the XXX Scholarship. The interview will probably be in May/June 2004.

I apologise for the wrongly worded email forwarded to you, and look forward to seeing you at ***."

Talk about good service... >.<

So basically, I HAVEN'T got the scholarship... yet anyway... >.<

But, by God's grace I can still get it after the interview... guess I just have to go by faith!

Still, it does dampen the mood...

Not in a mood to blog now... so...

Oh and on another note, blogger lost my post 2ce... meaning I had to rewrite this post 3 times! -___-"

Mebbe it was my connection... *shrug*

*PS: Edited the post to protect the UNI... suppose it's only right...

Booyah!

Got admitted into NUS... AND, I JUST GOT AN EMAIL SAYING I GOT THE ASEAN UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP!!!

o.O I can't believe it!!! WAAAH!!! (Took too much sugar I think... >.<)

Okok... calm... -_-
What I did yesterday? The day was pretty much boring... but the night was rather interesting... went to watch a Miss Tiffany show... and in case you dunno what that is, well, let's say it's a he/she show... Initially I was dubious... I mean, what's so great about them? After all, I'm sure it's much better seeing pure females... >.< But well, just go and see lar... got tickets anyway... >.< And I must say, I wasn't that far off the mark... -_- They were stunning... definitely... tall and with makeup, if they were REAL girls, ANY guy would fall for them... (I think even women lose out... -_-) But I must say they weren't really all that spectacular... the show itself was sub-standard... I've seen much better done by a ship crew... (OK it was a cruise ship, but still... ) The only attraction is that you KNOW their not girls... at least not totally... But admittedly, they are stunning... too bad their not real girls... >.<

Today? Read comics... (I have a few series on the computer... ) Love Hina to be exact... it's nice rereading... ^_^ And I went to play badminton... -_- haven't exercised in so long... luckily I stretched... so I hope I won't ache TOO much tomorrow... -_-
GTG... late... ^_^ Nite!

Today was an OK day....

Went visiting... Aunty Geeta is nice... played Playstation, had lunch, played UNO and Jenga... ^_^

And I'm posting this 'cos Lydia asked me to... >.< so much for updates... -_-"

Ok, never posted past few days... bad mood... >.<

But today was OK... Went to church, had a service for roughly 15 people at most... (first time I've sat in a church that small... congregational wise that is...) This was followed by lunch... ^_^ Thai food is OK I guess, but not everyone can take it... >.<

After that my dad took me some place special... ^_^ Couldn't believe we actually went there... >.<

PATTAYA SHOOTING CLUB

Went there, picked up the calibre, picked a gun... (yes, a REAL one), a target sheet and went shooting... literally...
Not that I'm the best shooter, but picking up a gun for the first time, I shot a 63/100 and the second time a 65/100 (right... only a slight increase, but STILL...) I have the sheets to prove it! And my dad who WAS in the navy shot a 65/100... (meaning I'm pretty good for a first timer) ^_^ Highlight of my day!

Man, it's HOT here... temperature is around 40+ on average... >.< And since it's Songkran, you're supposed to get wet, BUT... I'm not THAT big a fan of water... >.<

Ok, nothing much left to say... tomorrow is visiting day so gotta see mum's friends... >.< Hope it's fun... ^_^ Cheerio!

O.o

Had a pretty exciting day... woke up REAL early... (well, about 4.30 am local time... >.<)
Got into a pretty cool sort of lorry (well, not really a lorry, it could've been a pickup but it's covered at the back with air cond and carpets and cushions... so...) AND... we went to some ulu place north of Bangkok (REALLY long drive I tell you... though I slept all the way... almost... >.<) The name of the place? 'Floating Market'. ^_^ A really cool experience really... initially thought it was just a market by the river or something (wasn't really that exciting... ) But it's different... There's actually stalls by the river itself... and to get to them, well, you have to get a boat yourself... ^_^

You actually get in a boat, and the guy paddles you up/down stream... and you stop if you wanna buy something. ALSO, there are people selling stuff in boats... so you just pull alongside and buy whatever you want... it's a tourist attraction so things can get expensive... also, there's lots of souveniers which are pretty exciting but come to think of it, not much point buying... ^_^ And unless people ask, there will be NO souveniers from me... ^_^

Things start to get really cramp around 10 am... you literally get traffic jams in the river itself... >.< and everything closes around 11 am so I heard since it's so hot that noone wants to go there and the locals just close shop... we had noodles, lychee, dried mangos, pomeloes... there was some stuff I really liked but I dunno what you call it... looks like 'chee cheong fun' but it's filled with some sweet stuff and you eat it with some leaves (don't ask me wat kind... >.< i'm a plant noob) and fried garlic... I still can't get over the taste... >.<

We left and headed to River Kwae (In case that sounds familiar, it's in history text books and there's a movie on it) Had lunch there... though it WAS costly... >.< 1280 baht which was about RM128 for 5 ppl... and we had only 4 dishes... >.< The expensive one was the prawn (long ha) which was 750 baht... that was the bulk of it actually... the place was cool though... the history of the River Kwae or The Dead River was that POWs were brought in by the Japanese during WW2 (yes, American, British even some from Malaya) to build the bridge and it was terrible in the sense that the workers were treated very badly... most dieing due to malnutrition, malaria and other diseases. <_< I think i'll stop the history lesson here... >.<

Then another long drive over to Bangkok as we watched people celebrating the new year (Water festival) The youths basically waste a lot of water splashing whoever and whenever they can... I'm sure Singapore would be in fits if they ever had a festival like this... >.<

And then we began a long journey home... and we had barbecue for dinner... in Pattaya itself... kinda cheap... 79 baht for buffet... o.O that's like a RM7.90 buffet... I'm stuffed... >.< And I arrived home at 8 pm local time... took a bathe and now im writing everything down... phew

Was my day fun? Well, a new experience definitely... but unless you go with a local which we did... it's not worth it... the prices skyrocket for foreigners and tourists... >.<

Bleh... I actually wrote so much... think i'm back into blogging... if ANYONE ever reads... >.<

Till next time! (Not tom I think cos dad's working tom... ) ^_^

*Sigh*

Finally I'm writing in my blog again... <_< not like there are a lot of people who check it... >.<

Rundown? I quit my job, am currently in Pattaya, Thailand with my parents, 'enjoying' the heat... (if you thought Malaysia was hot, believe me, it's worse...) Good thing is it's New Year here, meaning my parents are off and i can actually get to go visiting... ^_^

Results came out and frankly it was pretty disappointing... but hey, God will provide... ^_^

Applied to both NUS/NTU + Scholarship... Still in processing... so... *shrug*

But I do trust God that I'll get in... ^_^

Easter was OK... I didn't exactly see our own production, but I caught calvary church's... it was pretty good actually...

Before I came to Pattaya, I went visiting in Ipoh/Sitiawan... It was nice meeting some people... though a bit short
>.<

Also, I'm really into RO now... but it's really time consuming to level a Full Support Acolyte (Bear with me if you don't get what that is... >.<) I guess it's good in a way... ^_^ I just like support characters... ^_^

Ok, I'm gonna sleep... too long online == $$$ spent... T_T that's the bad thing about dialup... but I guess I can afford it somewhat... ^_^

Till next time!

LOOOONG time no post...

Plenty has happened lately... most notedly... cell... ^_^ Really exciting after the pre-u getaway... made quite some friends... starting to feel more at home now... yay!

Results will be out next week... pretty scary... but by faith it will be good... >.<

I don't really have much to write now... i wouldn't say a lot of happy stuff happened... but nothing bad happened either (talk about ur typical monotonous day... >.<) Guess it's just a rather dry unexciting period of life... ironic isn't it? When ur busy with sumting u wanna relax and do nothing... but when u have nothing to do... well... not exactly a new line of thought but... still intriguing... ^_^

i'm gonna catch some sleep... *yawn* later peeps!

CNY has come and gone... harvest not too lucrative but still quite good... heheh
Met up with many of my friends too... so it was good i guess...

Oh, I got my very first pay of RM260... for 10 days work... not bad...
In addition... got PI and some other incentives... so pay is gd... when it comes in...

Nothing much happening... oh, had some car problems... but it got fixed today in a matter of minutes... >.< It's amazing how these mechanics can just solve problems just like tat sumtimes and take DAYS for others... (Ok... not really amazing but... *shrug*)

*sigh* Valentine's day is coming... but jus like every other year it's probably gonna be just an ordinary day for me... except there's MTV Asia awards gg on... >.< I guess some people just aren't so lucky... >.<

I guess tat's all i can write now... got work tom so i can't write too much... cheerios!

I think i'll be updating weekly... on my day off... >.<

Anyway, I'll be going back to Ipoh for CNY... it's only for a few days... i took off... and I don't think I'll be too free to go visit friends here... but i guess I can visit Ipoh friends no? Unless they go back to their hometown as well... >.<

I'm kinda bored... playing FFX a lot...

*Makes resolve to go do something today* Might meet up with some ppl... ^_^

OK, nothing much to write as u can see... hm... work's good... and I STILL haven't thought of what to do with the money I earn... <_< heheh

Well, I still have time to think about it... ^_^ Me go now... Ciao!

*Sigh* Haven't had much time lately... started working on the 1st... selling watches. Heh... quite OK I guess... but it's a full time thing... >.<

Well, I guess I won't be able to write often... I'll try to write whenever.... heheh

I'm just thinking what i'm gonna do with the money when i get payed... *droolz*

So anyway... nothing much to report except work is fun... oh, one guy came in with a fake credit card... luckily he didn't get the watch... <_< Learning how to sell watches is surprisingly challenging... heheh... try a hand at sales and see what i mean...

Well I think that's it for now... Till next time... ^_^

Christmas is over... so soon... >.<...

Was it good? Well, in a way... Christmas is always great no? But I just can't help feeling it's not as enjoyable as it used to be... Probably cos I didn't spend a lot of time with the ppl here b4 Christmas... I suppose that's the way it is... After all, I have been away for about 2 years... >.<

Let's see, I went for Christmas Celebration, went for a movie, went to eat... then came back for dinner... pretty eventful... I guess... On Christmas eve, I went shoppping for stuff for the Christmas dinner, er... yea, went out with some friends and then dinner at the club... Nothing really special though... >.<

Oh yea, for all of you who are in KL please please PLEASE contact me at 016-3480727... I can't contact anyone cos I don't have your numbers... and I'm bored to death... >.<

Ok I think that's all for now... I'll be practising my driving around... haven't driven for 2 years.. well, much anyway... My P license is gonna expire soon, so I better practice more... >.< And yes, I don't drive so well yet... so you don't have to push it... >.< That's all for now!

Well, I went back to Ipoh for the past few days... ate a lot... >.< My uncle really stuffed me... and I'm getting quite sick of hearing the words, "You won't get to eat this when you go back... "

But it was OK i guess... most of them were a bit shocked about my new hair... but too bad... it's mine... heh

I think the only thing I did there was eat... and eat... and eat... >.<

Luckily, I intend to put on some weight... >.< most would agree i'm a little on the skinny side... guess that's not something I should really worry about anyway... I just eat what I want to when I feel like it... >.< I don't have those guilt trips certain female friends of mine seem to go through every time they uh... erm... nvm... I think it would be wise for me to stop here... >.<

Anyway, the week's been OK... Nothing much to complain about really... certainly looking forward to Christmas... ^_^ So I'll try to work on it... It'll be exciting cos I WANT it to be... (That's a very unique way to look at things no?) Ciaos!

Right... I'm now in Malaysia... at my aunt's place to be exact... been here for a few days... the trip back was uneventful... but the next day i had camp... and that was terrific!

Camp was 4 days... i had a lot of fun... we experienced the tabernacle... and most importantly, i met God... not physically of course... but He was there... ^_^

Yea, i've uploaded the pictures already... check the picture site if you wanna see them...

Christmas is coming... and i'm praying hard for the Christmas event in Singapore... it's funny, when i first went there, i couldn't wait to get back... now i feel sad and out of place not being there... i think it's the people i've met... especially those from CHC... ^_^ That's one of the main reasons i intend to stay in Singapore to study next year... Hey, i really belive i can grow there... ^_^

Nothing much to add now except that the next few months are gonna be quite er... slack... don't have much planned... but i think i'll be able to find SOMETHING to do... eventually... >.<

That's all for now...

I'll be leaving Singapore today... Kind of sad, cos I have many fond memories of people here... >.< I don't really feel like going... but then again, I do too... convoluted I know... but that's life I guess...

Prom was absolutely great! I took a lot of photos and I'll post them up in my piccy site but not just yet... might need a whole day to do it... >.< So please bear with me, ok? I'll be staying at my cousin's place... and I have to attend a camp tomorrow, so that means I probably can't update quite as as often the next few weeks... well, at least i do it now no?

I can't really say much anymore... too many emotions and feelings and thoughts... well, in a way, i'll at least be coming back for my results... but I'll miss Singapore... (well, largely cos of the people I met here...) and I'll most definitely miss CHC... you guys have been absolutely awesome and I don't think I can ever say enough of that... Thank you, thank you, thank you for being such wonderful brothers and sisters... I really pray that God will prosper us even in the upcoming month... ^_^

I think I'll stop now... >.< I'll try to post again soon... Just check the piccy site and eventually the prom photos will be there... ^_^. Take care peeps!

Hmm... I still smell whatever it is they used to do my hair... >.< Took a shower this morning... but the hair seems to hold out ok...

I haven't tried really styling it... but i guess even if I don't style it too much it should be ok... i hope...

Nothing much this morning... just have to really pack everything... gotta get everything ready to leave in a second... heheh... isn't much left... but still have to do it... i spent a lot of money these few days... even the bus ticket was MUCH MORE expensive than usual... >.<

Well, i don't really have much left to say from the last post... ^_^ Just that It's my last full day in Singapore... Oh, I put up a site yesterday... (Amazing... in just one day... >.<) check it out... http://members.lycos.co.uk/boomboyg/ <-- click here... ^_^ This is where I put all the photos that I want to share with everyone since I came to Singapore... You guys have made my stay here really fun and memorable... ^_^ Take care, ya? Ja!

I went to see a hairstylist today... >.< Had an anime style cut... it looks weird I think... but apparently my friends find it ok... I'm not sure if I'm gonna wear it for prom though... T_T It cost 75 bucks!!! I guess I should, though it'd freak some people out... I'm usually the conservative kind anyway... Had my shoes polished too... By the looks of it, i'm all ready for prom... Got my suit, tie, belt, shoes and hair done... ^_^

Tomorrow should be exciting... except i should probably pack... >.< I think I should end this post here... gonna try to get used to my new hairstyle... >.< Later!

Just a short note for today... I went for Prayer Meeting which was really good... then I came back to hostel... I was supposed to cut my hair but then I decided on the way there to go see a proper hairstylist instead... just once... prom is around the corner and in the end, looking nice for once isn't so bad is it? ^_^

I have to run amazing race tomorrow though... I think it's gonna be as exciting as the last one... It's really cool cos we get to do lots of stuff... ¬_¬ Trust me, some of them can be downright embarassing... but it's fun to do it I guess... (Recalls a certain need for guys to enter lingerie store...) >.< But anyway, it was fun, and tomorrow will be too! ^_^

That's it for today's update... short and sweet no? In the pursuit of excellence we always encounter various

Hmm... had an OK day I guess... went out to town to run some errands... bought some stuff, fixed my belt for prom, and sat at a Nokia™ centre for quite a while waiting for them to tell me that i waited for nothing... >.<

Cell was great... even though i was a little late... i still managed to reach in time so it was good... ^_^

*sigh* unfortunately, it was my last one for this yr at least... I'll be heading back to Subang on Wednesday... I hope prom will be good... as will the service on Sunday.. (it IS the last one i'm attending this yr here...) I'm hopeful for a good one... also looking forward to camp... ^_^

I'll be bidding farewell to Singapore soon... at least for a while... I'm not sure whether i'll spend my next 3 months in Singapore or KL though... but probably KL since i can't get a place to stay... tentatively... well, at least i get to meet all my friends... ^_^

I think that's all for now... can't think of much to say now except maybe that I shld sleep... T_T Getting late... but i think i'll have a game or two of GB... laters!

Last night, I had a really long talk with my sister... and basically I think I've more or less come to a conclusion on some problems i'm facing... well, 'problems' actually... >.< It wasn't easy, it still isn't... but i think in the end it's for the best... >.< Besides, it's what God wants me to do... so i guess i will... but darn it it's tough...

Anyway, i don't really have much to do now that the exams are over... in fact, i'm getting really bored lately... should get out and do some stuff, but i can't think of anything at the moment... if ur reading this, and you're bored too, give me a call... (oh, and i have to know you of course... ^_^) any suggestions would be welcome... also, i don't mind doing almost anything... as long as i don't rot in the hostel and it's a 'wholesome' activity... *cough*

Nothing much to write except prom is coming... got the suit and stuff done already though, so not much to worry about... hopefully it'll be nice... ^_^

Oh and Saturday was cool... I ate a LOT... thanks to Dean and his family... Man his mum can cook! I was so stuffed! That day was kinda funny... and in a way, hectic... I was awaken in the morning bye Elvis, (no not THAT Elvis... a friend...) who needed money to pay for a checkup at Tan Tock Seng Hospital and didn't have any... so he called me at 730 am... i rushed down and paid the bill for him, then went to his place... tried out the suit for prom. Then I had to rush back to hostel cos my cousins were coming to pick up my junk to take back home... and when i finished, it wasn't even 1200 pm... imagine the things u can do in the morning... ^_^

I think that's all I have to post now... oh yea, sermon yesterday... was about Creativity! (Don't look so blur) YUP! God is a person who is creative! And he gave us the Creativity, the Ability and the Productivity to do stuff! So one law of the harvest is this... we get MORE out of LESS! (mind boggling? not really... compare the feeding of the 5 thousand and the feeding of the 4 thousand...) So in any situation, always know that God has given us the Creativity to come up with solutions for any problem! Amen!

Ok I think that's all for now... Cheerio!
