End of the holidays ~

And so concludes the holidays ... it came and it went ... nothing too significant nothing too spectacular ... yet its no where near without action =) Confused ? So am I ...
Well lets summarize this holidays =) Left behind most of what i needed to leave and started on what I should have started on eons ago ... Laggy is the man who's emotions rules his servers ... hahahaha ~
Wonderful update =) Don't know what to say lalala ~

Hmmm ... update ? hahaha
Spent most of last week slacking and enjoying ... now pretty broke =(

Always fun to go out with the fencers ~
Damn burnt rite now ... But I enjoyed it =p

Oh heres a few momentos from my last trip to ubin =)

heres poochie ~ ain't he cute ?

can u spot the cat ?

Confrimed week is good =D

And yet another week concludes =)
Tiring but fruitful weekend ! Spent saturday with the ever so irritating michelle ~ Short but very interesting trip to ubin ... Its amazing how rich ubin is in heiritage and the very experience from just wondering ard the island is simply enriching !

No ... This is obivously not my first trip to ubin BUT I've come to learn that ubin holds a wealth of heiritage for everyone who bothers looking ! Every trip I discover something new and without fail there is always something worth remembering ... This simple little laid back island off the east coast of singapore gives anyone who wants a relief from the urbanized concrete jungles of mainland fast paced life ... scenary ... wild life ... back to basic experience is what you'll find =)All you need is to keep an open mind and an open ear ... Islanders ... especially the natives have much to share abt the history of this little island, singapore and even their perspective of life !

Looking back Ubin holds personally for me many memorable times and I'm certain many more to come ... From the torturous days of camping and trekking with NPCC where I've made a number of close friends that stays by my side to this very day ... to the days of kayaking with Tock Seng during my OBS days ... to days of cycling and orienteering with the NPOB where I've learnt to love, respect and enjoy nature ... and of coz the little retreats with my buddies and our other small adventures ... and without a doubt (before i get hecked for lack of mention) the trip down this saturday with miche =)

Back to my weekend =) Had a wonderful time at lao jie's buffet house warming ... yes I know I've been a little anti social ... but what do u expect ... dad is there ... kid bro is there ... and I barely know that god-bro-in-law of mine ! haha :P Don't expect me to go ard with a display of enthusiasm and show my social skills now would u ? This IS singapore ... I AM singaporean ...

Sunday brings the whole day out with my classmates and my buddies at IDA's universities open house ... Checked out a few of auzzie's best for marine science and pharma science ... wondering yet again where and what to do for uni =
Later the same day was spent with my buddies for a long walk ard town which saw us trapped at taka ... clay left us early to report back to camp (NS men ... no life ... poor thing) ... Hid and I loitered and dragged ourselves ard taka and wisma for the rest of the afternoon till much later ... could tell he was getting bored but i couldn't help being too tired to be entertaining ... sorry bro ... Managed to stay alive till dinner at BK at wheelock though ... after which everything went much much better =)

Ah yes ~ A good week =) or issit ... hmmm ...

Hello Hello ~ Had subway for dinner tonight with sis ~ introduced me to the subway veggie patty sandwich ! damn its good =)
Anywayz that aside ... weeks been fairly good ... apart from the usual F-ing attitude from Dr.Wang ... Felix well done ! Very polite Very cheerful ! Thats what we're talking abt bro ~ Being nice =) birthday mood perhaps ? haha
Right ~ I'm a still aching from trg ... BUT its feeling good =) Better now ~ Tml trg again ... hope my muscles have adapted back (fat hope ? well i like to believe i'm more hopeful than fat-full hahaha)
Dumb post ? Eccentric character ? Aint my fault ... -_-
Hmm ... well looking forward to the weekends ... lao jie's house-warming party =)

Pain Pain EVERYWHERE PAIN !!!

HaHa ... I know it sounds pretty sick ... BUT ~ It feel good to be feeling my muscles ache for awhile again =D Though as certain as the sun will rise tommorow morn' I will soon be cursing and swearing for the pain to go away ;P
Well Well ... Finally able to exercise again ! Feeling good abt it ... at least i can start working off the 4kgs I put on over the mth of no game =( As you might had already predicted ... I returned to the sabre training only to find myself not the Simon a mth back physically speaking =P But I'll be back soon =D Better ~
Project is not going too well ... quite down the drain as one may say ...
BUT never fear ...
Okie ... quite a few things coming up apart from my FYP ... First up leadership course for the fencers to work on ... Next up get back in shape ... and I'm theres more to come =)
Monty Python is a good series of british humour if you're looking for a good laugh ! But for the more religiously conservative stay away =)

And last but not least ... to pay our respects to our Ngee Ann Tomb ...

Oh ... its not a tomb ? my bad ~

Seems like its a Time Capsule !

And thats all folks !

Long Long Day ~

Home ! Left home yesterday morning at 11 am and I'm FINALLY HOME ! HaHa ~
for the official time count its 1 am when i reached home ... Been spending alot lately damn guilty ... Been eating alot and not exercising either ... primarily coz of the warts can't jog ... too lazy to gym either =( Gained alot of weight in the past month ... Time to redeem myself !

Anywayz ... Supposed to go sentosa today with Team Venturejuana (Team V) BUT ... due to the rain and bz timetable of our VERY active VERY popular team members ... had to call it off ... went down to ngee ann to help out with the spring cleaning of NPF clubhouse ... But ~ when i arrive sorta nothing much to clean up liao ~ Went down Marina Square for lunch with the fencers after ... took 1 hour to decide on Long John -_-" ... Anywayz ... shortly after we watched a movie with David ... Joanne and the sabreurs ... (note: the foilist had left)

Interesting note that though I must say that Team Sabre used to be very very dead ... as time past and stuff ... Team Sabre has gained its life and fun elements ... people changed and new blood helped much as well =) As for Team Foil ... well ... I reserve my comments ;

Met Team V later on the in the evening for dinner and games at Minds ... BUT nobody made reservations so ended up with me, ariel and brian at cartel chilling the nite away ... "Emily" ditched us for his date ... Casper floated off for some soccer match ... and Ayu ... where are u ? But it all went well still ... Chicargo Cheeze Cake ... Auntie Amy's Chocolate Cake & alot of ice blended and the house pour of water and bread ...

Got some photos post them tml ... too tired ... don't know how to operate the desktop's bluetooth either ... well well time for bed I guess ... Gonna pay some respects to grand dad at the temple tml ... The very nice guy whom I feel I've inheirted quite abit of nice genes from though I nv met him ...

Quote of the day: "You reap the fruits of your forefathers and sow the seeds for your decendents" --- Somebody (If nobody has said this before then me lor)

Results ! Muhahaha ~

Oh yea ~ Sem 5 results are out ... Not bad got a GPA of 3.8 =)
Thought i was SO gonna fail my BIF and PDC with all those poor performance during term time ... Ends up continual assesment took victim of another subject instead ... AMB =( Thought I would get an AD after that power paper ... But no ~ Oh well ... U gain some U lose some yea ? In this case ... Gain 2 Lose 1 can la ... fair trade =)
Oh yea with regards to wordy post ... I'm sorry but I'm just expressive ... Plus no lappy = no pix uploading ... so yea =Oh when, Oh when will my lappy come home ?
Oh when, Oh when will it come ?
Missing my laptop BIG time !
Recently just sent a dumb email to all my fencers with regards to a leadership course ... Hope i didn't sound TOO crappy ... wanted it to be a little Lame but ... I might had gone overboard :P

A Simple Dinner =)

Ah yes ~ Social gathering ~ The core of Simon since he became a sociable person ... I was never a very sociable kid by upbringing ... grandma doesn't believe in real friends ... She has little close friends but as much as she hates to admit it ... No man is an island ... Always at occasions I'll find her talking abt her few friends ... how they met and how they became close ... Stories of grandpa is perhaps one of the most intriguing (wonder why ? I'd say when u have little friends it is those closest that u'll hold dearest and every detail abt them you WILL know ... They might not even realise it themselves)
Kept a small group of friends up to till secondary school ... But it is only from the student council and NPCC during my years in Mayflower that i really grew to slowly the sociable Simon u see today ... Sociable but still I keep a small group close to heart and a handful even closer ... I like the idea of building bridges and maintaining them ... Though I may not fortify every bridge I build or absolutely able to maintain every bridge ... I try my best to do so =)
I realised between the time of graduating from Mayflower to today ... Much has happened and not much of the Simon that once was remains ... Changes for better and for worse ... I aim to keep the better changes and I wanna find back the Simon that was lost ...
Anywayz ... The title story ... Finally a nice dinner with friends from class again =) This round at Apollo =9 Had a wonderful time with Jia, Hui, Fei and D ... Dinner at Apollo and a long walk through little india to OG Albert ... Meant to look for Zen but he was too bz ... Girls went shopping a little while me and D enjoyed a little side show by some chinese artist ... Continued the walk down to bugis and we had a great time strolling at the new national library till it closed (Well not that there is alot to see ... since most places were Out Of Bound -_-") Had some drinks at Mos Burgers till we were all too tired to go on ...
I'm very disappointed by the choices a friend have been making recently ... Somebody gotta start telling me if I'm right or wrong pretty soon ... Coz I'm pretty confused ...
Religion has many effects and influences over people ... I always thought Singapore being multi religiously harmonious will suffer no such effects ... guess I'm wrong ... YET i hold my stand ... The religion is never intended to be wrong ... but the devotee/follower that is misinterprets and acts wrongly intentionally or otherwise ...

Wonderful ~

Hello Hello ~
Just got home from a scolding at NUS and cryotherapy again at NSC =(
I know we deserve it more or less ... But oh well ... I DIDN'T choose this project !!!
In anycase ... I guess no point whinning over it ... time to get myself to work on the project more and less here whinning abt it ... Year 3 is indeed the worse time for any kinda hiccups to happen in ur life ... coz it comes with a free flow buffet of it all bundled in the package known as FYP ...
Project partners aren't working out well in terms of their relationship with each other ... I know not good to say such things coz everybody probably knows who i'm talking abt ... BUT I'm sorry Bro ... Sorry Sis ... From where i stand ... I don't wanna take sides ...
However ... Come on Bro ... gotta freshen up ... gotta take things into ur stride ... I know ... Life isn't easy for u ... Trust me its not meant to be easy ... Sis has tried hard to be neutral and even tried to be nice ... Time for u to put in the effort and expecting nothing back as well ...
Of coz i'm not saying ... Sis is absolute angel ... she isn't ... I know :P But least she knows what shes doing ...
Bad post ... Don't think I should post it ... BUT I WILL ...
No offence intended to anyone ...

Dinner and Movie was good ~ Sure made my day ! =) Had a wonderful time ... Thankz kid ~ sorry I'm not really very entertaining ... but its been a long day ... Thankz anywayz ...
