yesterday

yesterday was really cool. well it was really unexpected. really. so afternoon was boring because i went to school taking 50 minutes just to crush a concrete cube. i really do not want to come but then if i don't i will be like irresponsible to my groupmates. so then go back home. then i went to the gym a walk away from my house around 1830. then i just spent 1 hour. then go to the mosque for a while then go to library. my neighborhood is really cool. so i went to the library just to borrow some books on martial art like taekwondo and judo then when i was about to go down the library, i met chin jian and nisa. there they were studying for their exams while i have just finished only test. i dont have exams yet. however we laughed and tell joked until 9 when the library closed. then we met their friend from my school from nyjc but i dont know her. anyway we ate at kfc and nisa was funny. haha the joke was on him. i really had fun that day. i feel that whitley friends are still the best.

so the exciting part was the last one. i really feel like swimming after watching the olympics.

5. Civil Engineering ($50,940)

Civil engineering is considered one of the oldest engineering disciplines, attracting those who are analytical by nature. Civil engineers design and supervise the construction of highways and byways -- from roads and bridges to tunnels and dams -- and work in fields such as water resources and structural concerns.

These professionals must simultaneously be inquisitive, detail-oriented, and interested in the big picture. In their designs, civil engineers must consider potential environmental hazards, construction costs, and government regulations that can affect their creations. Bachelor's degrees are required for most entry-level jobs and continuing education is critical as new technologies emerge.

Job outlook: Employment growth for civil engineers is expected to move at a pace that is faster than the average for all occupations.

i was so shocked that my course civil engineers is a high paying and on demand jobs now.

must study hard for uni

3 in 1

today was terrible. i had 3 test in 1 day. felt like i am not gonna score but just pass. moreover, my critical reasoning skill discussion cafe was a D.

so feeling pretty down.

today's geomatics is really bad. i did not do 20marks of question.
then building, technology and material is ok. the killer subject was japanese.wow really hard.

i don't know but now i am really into sports. i like the feeling. i did poly 50 last time and it was great. the built and environment club cheered me on. that really motivates me. the one who gave the ticket too was really supportive. she always say go go when we took the tickets.

anyway this poly 50 is about a relay 50 times around the carpark. really tiring. people are really like animals. banging and tripping and stuff. so i represent silat club in sp and we got 45 position out of 121. that is really cool. so the 6 boys and 3 girls in the team were happy.

the girls ran on the 1st 10th 20 to 50th. the bous ran the rounds which are not 10th. soorry my english is getting weak. i just cant wait for the vacation.

today is the 3rd day of madrasah. (every week). i feel that religion helps people to have an aim in life. seriously. i still remember my english teacher, mrs oehlers, saying that religion is bad. everyone kept quiet. maybe she is old. anyway being in a band 1 english class is quite tiring where debates and arguments are always in play. the exact words about why religion is bad because it turned the world a violent place.

well i think that man itself is the cause for the world in conflict. greed and selfishness is the main factor. religion has nothing to do with that and i belief it is like a manual in life. if you already have the value of humanity instilled in you you still need to have guidance. sometimes too much logic makes people confused.

i just read the alchemist. i still remember miss singh talking about it in class during sec 4 and it is a good book. it is about getting to your dreams. however it is written by a human and i must say i do not agree with some parts the author wrote.

now, today this new semester the boys and girls in madrasah are put together. i really feels awkward the first time. we dont talk at all the boys and girls. we are together yet separated since it is a madrasah. the right are the boys and the left are the girls. anyway i just wanted to say that it is really embarrassing during the last period. it was learning the arabic language and the teacher saw letters which is unusual on a piece of paper. i did not realise it was there and i was seating at the front. so the teacher asked me what writing is that and at first i thought i was writing arabic untidily since the class almost ended and i was rushing. then she said on that paper and i just become blur. i did not say a word but my friend beside me said to her it was japanese. the reaction is quite amazing and i was really embarrassed. i realised something, i am killing myself with 4 languages. arabic, japanese, malay and english. if i have to choose which is more important it is arabic

outing

i went to an malay class outing last sunday. it was fun. go to east coast for the outing. adam and haiqal didn't come but still fun. we spent 1 to 2 hours playing uno and i did not know it was fun really. then play cheat or something haha. however it was fun.

i skipped the isc, silat finals for this outing because i rarely see my class. i am starting to miss secondary school. the teachers, uniform and friends. i really missed my class because they are cool. i miss biology because mr gunawan is so funny. when i went to secondary school i miss primary school but now it starts all over. i really just wanna go jc. if i can go back i would take combine science. y jc is really better than poly. it is like hard to make friends. i still remember daniel, jeremy, antony, ah kiat and somemore in my class. i really miss the time mcr was famous and i would hear them on radio or mtv.

now isc i missed. my friend told me that the first match that is h class had a nice finish. because rp vs nyp. rp was playing dirty but hitting face or something but nyp just fight on. then the funny thing was when nyp manage to make the pr fall the whole stadium cheered. however rp lost due to disqualification as nyp cannot stand up. like wrestling. sp won 1 silver and 2 bronze. that is really good. however sp silat emphasize studies are more important than silat because eduacation and qualification will help life.

i also wanna say i do not want to cut my hair. i was influence by nabil and mcr. i think i watch too much I'm not okay. i also went batam yesterday. 1 day only. it is so cool you are like rich there because you can buy steak there for $5. there is also a&w. i almost want to cut hair but maybe i will when it is ns

t-bone

i really miss my trombone. haha actually i miss the trombone section in my school. really miss those days where the amk conductor praise us for being the best section in the band. the truth is my juniors are the best. i feel they have the passion. i hope trombone section will be the best but it will be better that the whole band becomes good. aim for that gold with honours for syf. start from now. i would be really proud if wcb got gold. if that happens there should be a huge celebration. i will be happy.

anyway now i am concentrating on sports because ns is coming soon and i want to be ready for it. i join sp silat and it is really a good. my fitness improved.

last fri, sat, sun, i went to republic poly for the Inter-Tertiary Silat Championship and it is interesting. one of the nus person is playing dirty with ours and he won. the story is the judge is the teacher of silat for the nus and he side the nus guy although it is clear cut he punch the guy and kick him in the back bone when the referee said stop.

it is also interesting to see non- malays playing silat. there are chinese and indian i think 10 but they played well. the last match for sunday is sp fight with smu. smu was a chinese and he fought well and he won sp. but i tell you the last match the ambulance come because our fighter fractured his smallest toe and the smu student got a big bum on his sheen becuase he sweep a lot. however both fought until the end that is soo cool.

where is this

it is crowded. you are cramp in a small space because people keep pushing and shoving their way inside it. it smells bad when you're near someone who does. ther most people stand but some people sit.

still don't know.

ok another clue for you

it has poles planted there

you may get into a fight if you accidentally lean your bag on an apek




so if your thining of a club, you are wrong. it is the mrt.

fyi i have never been inside club i just have the idea that it is like that so if you think it is wrong just comment

having apek-phobia

just now in the morning i went to the mrt. then the mrt closes. suddenly an apek go and scold me. i also don't know why. he said in chinese but i know it is not mandrin because of the frequent use of nya in his words. i just heard 1 phrase. wam pa tan which means bastard i think. but i just say sorry, sorry and like ignore him. actually what am i suppose to do, fight. but he kept scolding and swearing in chinese, like i am suppose to know what he is say. i am dark colour and have have a big double eye lid, one of my friend even said it was triple.

i am obviously not chinese but he just kept scolding me but i ignore because the only one that is embarrassed is the apek itself. i can even see he like want to lift his arm but if he were to assault me he is definitely in a wrong. however people are all like minding their business, but i would really appreciate if some one translate what rubbish is coming out of his mouth, which apparently didn't happen .so i just took out my mp3 and hear music. so after like toa payoh where there is fewer people i moving inside and inside. don't want to see that old apek.

actually i realised that when i came in, i was holding my haversack in the front and it leaned on him. i knew i did not bang anyone so he got angrylah. so i put down the bag. wah because of my laptop i need a haversack because a sling bag is like much more strenuous. what did he expect the mrt was full he should like not make a scene, other than to show that he is uneducated. yeah he is in the corner of the door? he thinks he owns the mrt? arghhh i am seriously furious man. did't wanna talk anymore about this.

i think elder lies should also have to go for civic and moral education.you would realise that elderly think they and big because they are old. i have seen an auntie was given a seat then an old man just took the seat. it is like people will die if there is no seat. i find it is ridiculous. and when you wanna go out, people already go in and you have to like bang on them before the door close and take you to another place.

another incident is on the bus and auntie go and poke me with an umbrella and ask me to press the bell because she cannot reach it. the i donno what she said in chinese.

oh man i should have taken that mandrin lesson offer in sp but why did i take japanese.

ok back about elderlies. they are suppose to be better role models but it seems the are more rude than youngsters.


so poly today was really fun. at the library we took pictures with daniel and sakinah laptop. really funny. we like make funny funny faces. and like almost the whole class in the library and we took a picture 10 people taking picture in a laptop with only 1.3 mp. cool?

now the first thing on my list which i loathe is M MATI(MRT)

note i find that the best elderly is my grandmother. she is really caring and nice. another note. i do not find all elderly like that only some

that 1980s show (kisah cinta)

wow i watch a show i think in 1980. you know why i guess the show is in the 80s is because the yellow pages show 1983 if i am not wrong. it is really nice man. OK actually the actress sings really really good. i like the counter melody and the base parts which backs and compliments her singing. man the 80s film quality is not good but you will have this like a vintage or antic feeling when watching it. it is like having an old car in the 1960s. although it does not look nice but you would have that feeling like it is precious and antic. after watching that show i want to keep that 80s look the hairstyle. man it is so cool. i feel now the hairstyles are from japan and it is really so common.

well actually the show is about this girl who is a singer like a rich guy. i missed the first part about 30 minutes. so she read a note that the guys mother said she is poor and should not go for her son. so after reading she avoided him and they like got separated. note actually both of them love each other but they were unlucky because of this. then the guy got married and she found out. the guy was forced actually by the mother. the same time the singer got popular so the guy go to she her perform with his wife here is the clip.



so then the guy try to get her back and even said that he never touch his wife. she then got a little mad and said that all man are the same then i started to cry because i did not see after that. it is because of the upgrading process star hub does. i am also watching a temporary recording so after upgrade i missed everything. man why can't star hub upgrade at like 3 am. anyway my mother watched the story and told me the ending. basically she and the guy made a promise that they would spend 1 day together and go their separate ways and they really do.

well the ending ain't a happy one but in my opinion the situation in that story is really screwed up. it is because the guy is already married and if she were to get back that will be like a big problem. anyway but at least they manage to have 1 memorable day together.


moral of the story, don't cry over spilled milk.

today now i am really tired man. poly isn't what people say(easy). more over my course uses maths and physics. the subject physics is not my favorite but i must hold on for 3 years. i feel my friends in poly is better than secondary school. i mean the class. it feel like were are normal. my class ain't united in Whitley because the smart ones are always studying and it is not such a good bond

joining sp silat club as my cca. the people there really nice. weird though during the cca drive see mostly guys at the booth but during the first day the number of guy and girls are almost the same. wow it seems i want to change. don't want to join band because i heard from a senior they ain't united. i wish i dont have to bring 3kg to school everyday. now the course uses computer and it is really hard because of the programing. i wanna sleep bye.

donno why

the first 3 days of orientation is great. first day did not make any friends but learn valuable lessons about using the sp online services. it is soooo cool. because you can actually get your time table on my course, diploma in civil engineering and management on the Internet. that is so great. there is actually a total of 6 classes i think each has about 20 pupils in it. weird thing is i expected the course to have only guys but there are some girls too. so did not talk to my classmates that much.

the second day was really funny. everyone in the built and environment course B.E. go to the auditorium to meet the pricipal. well he said he hoped the students dont finish the course too early or later especially early. why? well if later you will retain to take some course but if earlier means you dropped out. so it is scary. another thing the pricipal emphsize is to study hard and play hard. because universities wants an all rounder. well if that were to be said by our whitley pricipal well maybe in my dreams.

3 rd day have games it was fun my group. we did not win much anyway yeah

4th day flag day went to boon lay. not much collected




today was tiring. i have like head aches for 3 days now. want to join built and environment club or malay cultural club i donno. both fun.

freshman orientation camp

hello i am back from camp i am really tired.

WA the first day i was really badly bullied. you know the bondman's trail. they put a lot of stuff on us. they put flour water and make us roll on mud. that is why they say to bring unwanted clothes. some of my friends threw away their shirts pants and shoes. rich kids.

the second day we did some games like battle ship. the only thing they use water bomb and we must crawl and hit people. then at night we go and play the night walk. it is really good. they put obituaries on the lift and that is really sick man. they really did a good job man on that game. WA it was bad enough that in the blind man trail we slept at 3 or 4 am. then the night walk we sleep at 6 am because we must wait for every one to finish.

however i did not sleep because i have to do belt upgrading later so i went out of poly at 6.30 and go straight to bishan. WA really shiok. i go city hall side and slept until woodland. wow i was really furious other than not having enough sleep i need to waste 30 minutes going to bishan. than when i reach home i took a long shower and it feel really good. i slept a while then went to the centre to get my yellow belt.

so the third day after i return in the afternoon i went to the camp we have a campfire night with a fake campfire than go and sing the camp fire song. then there is a Shem night where the guys dressed up as girls with balloons as breast and make up. there is also a little tattoos which is drawn over. wah those guys on stage are brave man. they are really embarrassed as they have their leg hairs duct taped, doing pole dances with the senior guy acting as the pole. but the worst re the one they do push up facing each other and the lap dance. wah the camp chief was given a lap dance and the freshman really force his balloons on his face. the guy said wah really violent lol. then after that we go to a building where then is a disco or clubbing place. wah really i hate it man. the loud music people dancing in a cramp environment WA imagine people are drunk when clubbing high on drugs too. anything can happen. the bloody lights rapidly blinking is hypnotising and making you feel dizzy and high wow there is bound to be a lot of people getting into trouble man. i mean people who go to clubs are those who really know they are gonna get themselves into trouble, more trouble if your alone. oh man that will be my first and last experience going to such a place

so the clubbing ended at 5am, i most of the time went outside to no get deafted by the music

the last day we had a play where i played a police who catch a thief . well the camp overall made me feel more confident it in a bad way. so i gtg soooo late .bye.




oh no i forgot i remember our group called cancri came in first. first time in any camp a group with me inside came in first lol.

push ups

last time i did push during sec 3. i remember my max is like 60 push up. that is not those slipshot or unstandard push ups. the weird thing is i start at 5 push ups. well tather a while people thought i went to the gym which i did not at sec 3. some people who are jealous which i realised now may have made me stop doing it. its teerapot. an irritating guy who say my chest are big. well actually after stopping for a few months during sec 4 my chest did go down. lol what an experiment.

however now, i can do about 30 max and the part that caused me pain is my you have guessed it, it my tricep. lol. actually my triceps and chest. eh i forgot my tricep also is quite big that time but after now working out it is a little on the not so muscular side.

well why am i talking rubbish. because there is nothing to talk about until poly starts i hope

yeah there is also memories where the class holds some arm wresling competition lol. and you have guessed it. i always won. i even won those who are 1 or 2 years older than me. lol but after no training, i lost first time to one person. he is indonesian. hes anthony.

anthony has a big forearm and a little shorter than me. there is this story that made people call him short when he is actually average sized. you know who started calling him short. it was that guy who talk alot, using his nose. it is none other than teerapot.he is like if someone is better than him he would be jelous i believe so he would say him short until people call him short.

ironically teerapot is shorter than me and anthony is just about 2 or 3 cm shorter than him. really ironic. what is with this guy.

people may say i am rude and i am sorry if i offend anybody who likes this guy but i just want to say i just don't like the way he treated me and others. so peace

just enrolled

i just got into polytechnic. i am really disappointed. i rather go to yjc because at least i have time to think. however the course i took is actually not what i choose. my uncle chose it. i never went to any poly open house.

now i am using my new laptop and it is really cool. even though there is wifi on this notebook, it is really slow so i connect it using a cable. now i hope the computer does not always spoil because it is made from a acer brand. i think buying computer parts and installing your self in sim lim square is really a bad idea since the computer always have defects.

well i have signed up for an orientation camp at singapore poly. the briefing which is 2 hours long is really weird. the club made us play games and breaking the 'ice' sort of things. the scary parts are the forfeits. it is really extreme but not that extreme. like they even have a person lie on the ground and another guy face the guy leiying and they have another sitting on the guy to do a push up. so that give you the idea what is in store. it is some sort of like an adult camp like young adults.

well i am really scared that at night people put toothpaste or something while sleeping because i have experience band camp and when i was sec 1 i got toothpaste. i cried of course. but other people did get worst stuff like the whole body. i never in 4 year of band camp played that sort of trick. it is stupid, disrespectful and irritating. if the prank is play when fully awake and aware at least know know who did it. but doing it while someone is sleeping is rude and it makes people feel hurt because people may be sensitive to the toothpaste.

so this tradition became uncommon as years go on. the final band camp only less than 3 were hit.

so i went to dover from bishan. it was really loooooooooong. like 45 minutes. wow. did you know from bishan to dover by mrt going to marina bay or woodlands is the same journey like if i feel that i want to see the view out in singapore i would go to ang mo kio or woodlands area. and if i feel i want to be in a crowded, like sardine can environment, i would take the marina bay way. either way i would arrive at dover i about 45 minutes. isn't it nice? lol. wow now i really hope that mrt would have tv mobile. lol

i got the package

which is for my poly course and i must go through a health checkup because my course is engineering i think. anyway my birthday, i got my first mp3 player. just have a radio and can play music. its a samsung and it is really nice. i really like it.

now i learning my guitar by myself and it is quite hard. it is like learning a trombone so must be patient to master it. it took 1 year for me to get used to my trombone and it seems i may take a while to get the hang for it. i just know some chords lol.

birthday

today is my birthday and i am 17. yeah. actually am i really 17 because i can't believe it. well it seems that everytime i grow up, i feel everything i did in the past is childish. lol. i learn guitar from a dvd my uncle gave and i think i improved a bit. it is just lke learning my trombone.

now i am going to singapore polytechnic doing civil enginering and management, i must wait. really boring. so must really wait.

so it seems nothing is happening except my birthday

watch a movie

i watched juno because i read in the newspapers that it is good. well i watched it and it is about a girl who gets pregnant at age 16 and she has to go through it. it was nice and the comedy is not much. i don't how to explain.

anyway i also watched a HINDUSTAN movie. realise how i emphasize on thehindustan because it ain't a tamil movie. i was like 4 hours long and there is an intermisssion. an intermission. wow although it is long you are really drawn to it. i realised or i mean already know HINDUSTAN people a good looking. they aren't that dark for all those steriotypes but about fair and tanned.( refering to hindustan) please!

this time i got an acoustic guitar that my uncle gave because he said i had good results. i was really suprised because my marks are average but however i really thanked him for the guitar. the reason is that every time my uncle go back home, he would bring back his guitar and i would ask him how to play so he thought a litle so then i think he thinks that i am interested in guitars which is really true so i get it. sorry but i am bad at explaining

hair

i really want to cut my hair. but because of chinese new year the barber is charging extra. it is really weird because the malay barbers are doing this. why do they when hairdressers and chinese barber charge the same. it is really iritating. i can understand if it is hari raya but chinese new year. i this the move is really ridiculous because my classmates who are mostly chinese would go to a hair dresser it really affects me and non chinese customers. well i hope malay barbers would not charge extra during chinese new year because they should be business minded. for example instead of charging extra, they should have a discount. wouldn't you agree. it is really stupid. it is like you go to kfc and they charge extra $2 for every meal purchased. you think people would come and buy. they would rater go kopitiam. so you should get the point.

this is something weird, i have seen before a newpaper article which featured a barber shop charging extra $2 for a haircut during chinese new year and they proudly place it at the shop thinking it is an acheivement. well i don't think so. really this is like a singapore culture or maybe a tradition. really irritating huh.

so i just have to wait for a while until the sign that says about the price increase is torn off. but anyway i want to wish a happy year of rat to the chinese and non chinese because everyone is celebrating it. you know why because it is the biggest holiday in singapore. and many people are not working during this day.

isn't it good that singapore is a multi racial society. well know know why because during chinese new year in china chinese people still have to work even it is chinese new year and i really pity them. they have to fix the power because of nthe storm. however in singapore, they can depend on the non chinese to work so that the singapore economy is still running. and noone lose out. because when there is hari raya it becaome vice versa. so i am really greatful to live in singapore

cny (hinese ^ew "ear

cny again. my neighbours gave a nice gift, ferrare rocher, kitkat chunky charamel, maltose and somemore sweets. she is so nice. so share among my family members.
today really you cannot go out because you know a lot of shops are close so it is quite boring. so i read blogs. however allens blog is really good. i did not know he puts a lot of effort in the blog. wow. i think i want to add him to my tags.

he did say last time my blog is interesting but he is really much more.

dream

before the results come out for o levels i had a dream of getting 23 for something for 2 times. at first i thought that it was the result of my brother getting 223 for psle. then when the results for the o level came out it was really 23 for l1r5. when i woke up after the dream i wish that that result is for my l1r5 not l1r4. my l1r4 is 18 and minus the cca points it may be 16.

it was quite sad that i did not get 20 or less for my l1r5 but maybe my effort is not enough. actually i cannot believe i got from like 39 to 23 that is a jump. it feels good because i always fail humanities but i managed to pull through with a b3. my English too is a b3 and so is my e maths. b4 is surprisingly my chemistry and the rest are Cs.

after the results i do not know what to do. i can go into mi or poly. so went to mi open house which is also like a secondary school. the thing that scares me about mi is that only 40% went to university. that really is not attractive and also the presentation is like a 2 hour movie which repeats the good parts until it becomes boring.

so only at night on sunday i realised there a counselling in all polys and i planned to go on monday but after i talked with my mother and uncle i came to a decision i want to go to a poly
