Bowling with Kiat and Sotz.

Lazy to blog so just pics bah. It was the first day of Niu Year.

BTW, something really interesting struck me on Tues. Went to my god-father's place to visit and he asked me abt whether I found any gal friend. As soon as I reply "No", he went on to talk about this Chinese gal at his workplace who is quite nice. Its seems that he have the intension of introducing her to me with the manner he approach the topic. Luckily, my brothers came and unknowingly distrupt the conversation. Phew...

The last person I expect to talk to me on such topic. Faint...

New Year.

Started my year by spending a bomb on a new bowling ball last nite. Really like it, cos of my favourite colour; red, but its damn Xpensive. Updated with pic.


Whatever. Time to get myself focus for the semester liao and this Lunar New Year marks the start. Its time to really start to focus and take steps to work towards my goals that I've set for myself this sem/yr.

Have been looking on information on Masters, as the economy is really bad. However, I'm not able to enrol due to some issues (results, working experiences, tuition fees) for all the better schools. Time to throw that thought away and take whatever it comes along the way.

Its also time to train for my IPPT, booked the test on 25th Feb and it will be of my many first.

• my first IPPT since becoming NSmen.
• my first CAT Y test.
• my first in Uni, the last one I took was like 3 yrs ago.
• my first time to MAJU camp too.

Looking forward to be rewarded with some $$$.

Lastly, looking forward to meet my relatives for the coming new year. This is so as we seldom meet each other and CNY is the only time that everyone takes time off to be together.

Happy Niu Year to all ! ! !

Happy Moo Moo Year!

What's Wrong ?

No fuel ?
No direction ?
No purpose ?

Engine can't start...

Its already the 2nd week of school, but my engine can't get started at all. If it is an F1 race, which is pretty true in real-life, I hope I'm not out of the race yet. Need to really pushed myself more, with CNY just round the corner, think nothing much is going to change.

A little tired with relationships, my main weakness, decided to put more effort into areas that can be more fruitful. So bro, stop trying to distract me. haha...

Taking a backseat as it takes 2 hands to clap. Aim is to develop friendship bah.

DMK & Actions must match my Prayers.

Happy Birthday buddy !!!

Happy Birthday Kiat !!!

As u mentioned in ur blog, 1/4 century old liao. But in my view there are a lot things can be done and in this next 1/4 century that will determine whether have we live our lives to the fullest.

Anyway, enjoy this special hatch day of yours, Kiat.

Happy Birthday!

Finalised TimeTable for the sem.

All my modules and tutorials are confirmed. And this is the final outlook of it.

Really happy about it as its less than 2.5 days of school.

Conviction.

Took from Shan's blog:

"Nichiren Daishonin teaches us that the power
of the Gohonzon has no limits.
It is we, who impose limits on it with our doubts and fears.
How tragic it would be,
if having encountered the Mystic Law,
we could not fully enjoy its benefits
because we lack the courage to pray with all our
heart for what we truly wanted.
Since we are fortunate enough to meet the Gohonzon,
why don't we place our full trust in it,
pray courageously for what we desire and
fulfill all our dreams in this lifetime?"

Lesson learnt:

1. Don't begrudge yourself, your life.
2. Be courageous.
3. Everything happens for a reason. It often comes in the form that u are able to do your own HR with, as least that is what I experienced.
4. MOST IMPT: It tells u the level of ur faith, ur conviction, etc.

Although graduating with 2nd Upper may seems impossible as I required straight A(s) to acheive that. But why am I doubting my own abilities and don't have any faith in myself? If I don't believe in myself, it will be a self-fufilling prophecy.

I am my greatest enemy.

OMG. Another marriage ...

I met up with Andy, Annabelle, and MeiQi for dinner at Sushi Tei @ Taka. As belle was late, Andy broke the news to MeiQi and me that he proposed to Annabelle during their trip to Hong Kong. ( U know the outcome rite? Hint: read my title)

I'm really happy to hear about this piece of news. Seriously, it is another wonderful couple tying the knot. 2nd day in a row, that I hear/ come to know "Xi Shi" (marriage) of my friends and both marriage are my friends that I have made at Melbourne.

I'm totally looking forward to the couple's wedding which should be held end of this year or early next year in Singapore.

Happy, very happy in fact.

Come on who else is next? (haha...)

My "Twin" brother is married ! ! !

I just came home from NUSSD DMK, was responding to a tag in facebook then I saw Kean Yew is married ! ! !

Totally shocked. But very happy for this lovely couple. I met Kean Yew in Melbourne during my exchange. He is Ley Hian's friend, was introduced to SGI and started attending weekly discussion meetings. As we got to know each other better, I found out that we shared the same birthday. Truly amazing... My first friend who shared the same birthday. Sometime later, I got to meet Charlotte when she visited Kean Yew in Melbourne, that was sometime in July; sadly that was also the last time I met them.

They are a great couple, reason being cos my brother is a great guy and Charlotte is a great gal. (a little rubbish n crap, but its the truth.) I am truly very very happy to know about the news. I really have to thank technology for doing wonders, thou we are miles apart but I am able to know this great piece of news. This totally backup why I'm studying IT. Hahaha ...

I would like to offer my heartiest Congratulation to this lovely couple and wishes them 白头谐老.

All the best: Bro and Charlotte.

Lunch with the Sunshines

Finally met up with Sunshine(s).

Sunshine Gang: Me, Siew Kuang, Shan Shan.

We had lunch at Brewerkz, updated each other with our past happenings and what we are doing/ future direction. Its a really really nice catch-up. During our conversation, I can really feel their growth, especially Shan, comparing the phone calls we had when I was in Melbourne and on last Sunday. Wow... Its a HUGE difference. I think I've grow too but its nothing compared to their growth. I must continue to expand my capacity and create more value in life.

Last yr, it was like a yr of development, and this yr, we are looking forward to a yr of victories.

Let's Jia You and win in our lives.

Slacking before school starts.

Couldn't find anyone to watch movie with, so I watch it alone. "Ip Man" is quite good thou the story is similar to "Huo Yuan Jia".

Next movie, "Bedtime story". Hopefully will not watch it alone again, but most of you(friends) had already watch it.

Meeting Shan n SK tomorrow @ Brewerkz. Totally looking forward to it. Sunshine gang have not meet up for a long time. The last time should be the walk we had on a Sunday morning. SK told me over msn that she has alot of juice stuff to share abt her trip to Myanmar.

Sharing + Yummy burgers + great tasting beer = What a perfect Sunday afternoon !

Gosh... school is starting. So fast. Haiz...

Hot from the Oven... TimeTable for Sem 2 0809.

I have got all my modules and even additional modules, which is Corporate Finance, as a backup in case I did not get Investments; totally displaying my Singaporean traits of Kiasuism. The interesting thing is that I got both finance modules at 1point, which is extremely rare in NUS as everyone will be snatching to take them as minor module.

Now left with tutorial allocation which is highlighted in yellow, which will begin only next week.



A good start for the semester with 3 day week.

Thinking too much.

I am thinking so much that I don't know where to go or where am I heading. This is my tendency to lose direction and confuse myself.

I was advised by my comrade in Melbourne to employ the strategy of Lotus Sutra. Which I have been thinking for 2 days. I had just read the Gosho: " The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra "

"Have profound faith. A coward cannot have any of his prayers answered."

My mind has confused myself, and I will just leave it to faith.

SAP BPERP Certified.

Suppose to wake up early to study for the SAP test but I've overslept. I woke up only at 8am while the test is 9. I was happy that I passed the test.

After the test, went for brunch with gang at Golden Shoe Car park hawker centre.

Next stop, went to NIE to meet jing. Went around NTU and I was really hoping to bump into someone I know there. Guess, luck wasn't on my side. The afternoon walking around NTU was really tiring... but more of disappointment.

No movie tomorrow, so will be going fishing with the TSK gang.

Random:
Should play an active or passive role?
Am I heading the wrong direction?

Is there anyone who can ans me? --> by Jo, take thing slow. one step at a time.

haha... Guess its just once bitten twice shy.

A surprise postcard.

Very very happy to see the postcard all the way from Strasbourg.

Over the moon, in fact.
