Thoughts.
Sunday, 19 May 2013 19:47
Many things have been troubling me lately.
Somehow, in a way. I just want to get them out of my mind. My friends who know parts and bit of the problems just simply asked me to think for myself more and things will be fine. But, how's that even possible? Maybe it's just me. Even though I hate this part of me, what can I really do about it? Countless of occasions I told myself to just ignore, ignore and ignore. The success rate? 0% Deep down there, I still care and it affects me. It's just that sometimes I don't show cause I really don't like to be a burden to anyone. I know my friends cares for me, a lot to be exact. Nevertheless, it's just not me to share every single thing to anyone. I have been like that for the past 20 years. Just what should I do... |

The Official End. Bye SP.
Friday, 17 May 2013 23:58
Finally, this day has come. A day that I have been looking forward to 3 years back when I was still a freshie, so young and filled with anticipation of a new journey. People out there says Polytechnic life is gonna be easy and a breeze. It's just a BIG WHITE LIE. The difference between Secondary School and Poly was definitely drastic and overwhelming compared to what I thought it will be. Not to deny that there were times which had been easy but definitely there were times that were tough too. Poly life is actually much more demanding than what most people think; something that only people who went through will understand. Things just aren't the same anymore I guess. Lucky enough, I have got awesome classmates and made many friends who have pulled through this journey with me and making it like no other. They are there for me when I need them, regardless for studies or simply just for some fun.
Year 1 - Birthday Celebration.
Year 2 - KL Trip.
Year 3 - Our final year together.
Graduation Ceremony.
DEPM/03
My awesome bunch of classmates who are united in our very own ways. I bet we are the wildest and the noisiest bunch of kids in our batch who always make sure we have our fair share of fun in whatever we do. We always whine at the stupidest things (always getting the lousiest bus or last to leave) and doing all sorts of crazy stuff (forever camwhore) when we are together. Many told me that Poly classmates are the worst bunch of friends you will make because everyone will just want to fight their own share of attention from the lecturers. Thank you for proving them wrong for the past 3 years and I really appreciate every single one of you who have walked into my life since 2010. Sure enough I am gonna miss everyone and all the fun and nonsense we share. Thank you for everything and I wish all of you all the best for your future endeavors! Keep in touch! <3 
Mrs Goh - The motherly lecturer.
Ms Sally - The strict but nice one.
Lecturers
I may not be the best student who is attentive, always punctual for class, and acing in every paper. However, I got a bunch of great and understanding lecturers who stood there for us for the past 3 years who used their best efforts to teach us and guide us along the way. Of course, not forgetting the fun and nonsense that we shared, be it in class or outside class. Without these bunch of people, I will not have get to and become who I am today, not to even talk about graduation. I really appreciate and thankful for each of you for being there. Thank you for tolerating all my nonsense and stayed through with me for the past 3 years. I hope this message got to you too Ms Jac. Imy and thank you for always believing and supportive in whatever we do. I know you will be proud of us like you always do. A pity I didn't take with more of them.
51st SPSU - AGM.
52nd SPSU - Council Retreat.
53rd SPSU - AGM.
Singapore Polytechnic Students' Union (SPSU)
It has been a pleasure and an honour to be serving the school under SPSU for the past 3 years as an Executive Committee Member. If I were to say everything is awesome and so smooth sailing, it's definitely a lie. At first, it was pretty pressuring for me as people around me were not in the same CCA as me, and I had a rather hard time coping. Nevertheless, I got use to it and thanks to some moral support and understanding from my pals. I pulled it through and it carried on for the next 2 years. Each and every year of my service, I learn something new. The experience of working with the different types of people is truly an enriching and wonderful one. Through this journey of ups and downs, I made really awesome friends and meet many different kind people along the way. Through this journey, I also learnt more about myself and a lot of things which I will never thought of without SPSU. If I have ever offended you in anyways, hopefully you can forgive me and let it pass. SPSU definitely played a big part of my Poly Life and I am thankful to every single one out there who walked this journey with me.
52nd Council - The crazy bunch of people.
53rd Council - Awesome time spent at Telunas.
Singapore Polytechnic Students' Union Council
To all my awesome council people! Thank you for all for showing your support in SPSU and Council events. Things will definitely turn out what it is supposed to be without you guys. Although we all came from different backgrounds, I am really glad to see all of us coming together and work together for a better SP. Just so you know, this friendship is really rare and I truly cherish it. Thanks for all the memories through retreats, ICE Camp and Running Man. Hanging around and having fun with you guys have become one of my favorite thing especially in my final year. Hope to see you guys around soon! 
LZ! Our very first family photo!
Led Zepplins
My SPSU family and the first group of people I got to know to start off my life as an SP Student. Though we had the camp 3 years ago, I could still remember the awesome fun and nonsensical moments we shared during FOC and during our gatherings. I really missed those times where we will usually hang out just because we are too bored and celebrating mother's and father's day! Thank you all for the great time spent. We may not be as close as what we used to be in Year 1, just so you know, once a family, always a family! Hopefully, we will have a gathering soon! 
Psychedellic Droga - Last day of camp!
Psychedellic Droga A bunch of people which I have been through thick and thin while preparing for FOC for the next bunch of new kids in the house back then. You gotta admit not all of us joined this wholeheartedly. Nevertheless, through all the trainings and all the bonding sessions. We have come together as one despite the differences. Thank you for the support during the trainings and the camps. We done all kinds of shit and I am glad we pull it off together, as one. As a GP, always a GP. 
Masterchefs - Last dinner during FOC 13/14.
Masterchefs
What's a camp without awesome food and awesome entertainment? Still remember the echo? Hahas. I know it's not easy to commit your time back then since we have all graduated and it is time for us to plan for our future, be it NS or any other paths that you are going to take on. Thanks for being there for Syazwan & I during the camp. Really really appreciate it. Without you guys, the camp will not be able to run and be as awesome as it is. I hope you enjoyed this exp as much as I do. Cheers!
Our lastest meet up.
YOG Girlfriends Never knew I will keep in contact with this bunch of awesome girlfriends in the first place. I can still remember us in the Youth Olympic Village carrying out our duties and doing all the crazy stuff that I shall not mention here to protect our own image. It's at stake uh! Hahas. I really love our hangouts session where we have our random talks and it just seems like time was never enough for us. This especially goes out to Auntie Low which has since then become one of my closest gf. Although we don't usually text or even call each other like what usually gf does, I never once felt we drifted once we met up again. We are like ranting machine to each other who always rant to each other about our life. Love you babe!

LEAP - Ipoh The journey started out awkward since we all came from different CCA backgrounds and didn't have any bonding session before heading for the trip. Nevertheless, we became from strangers to friends through the days of having fun together, as a team. Although this isn't my first time going for such adventure camps, the experience was still an enriching one with the people around me. I really did learn from them. All the late night talks and lessons not only helped me to know myself better, but also my peers better. I can still clearly remember how we all squeezed at a table just to play number heart attack on our way back from Ipoh. #thosewerethetimes Anyways, hopefully we can hang out real soon too! 
Before setting off to Vietnam @ Changi Aiport.
 
My grad gift from the awesome TFT.
Ben Tre 3
My last group of awesome friends I made through this OCIP trip! Got to admit I was kinda reluctant to go for the trip in the first place because of many reasons and problems I am facing. Nevertheless, now that we are back, there isn't one moment I regret going to this trip. The 14 days were such great experience for me. These are experiences that are totally different from attending Leadership Camps and irreplaceable. Will never forget all the fun we made out of the repetitive daily routines, all the nonsensical talks over meals, playing with the children, late night talks, blogging and the list goes on and on and on! Thank you for putting an awesome end to my 3 year journey in SP. This especially goes out to #TFT!!! Although this started out as a joke, I am glad the group stayed as it is! Really touched with the surprised gift this afternoon since I wasn't expecting anything. Thank you all once again for the effort! You guys are definitely a bunch of the sweetest people I ever knew. <3
Photo after Grad Ceremony with my parents.
Last, but not the least, to my family who have been always supportive in everything I do. I know sometimes I can be really worrying on my academics and is always reaching home late due to my commitments and social life. Nevertheless, I want to thank my mum for her utmost understanding in whatever I do. Although she nags and sometimes go too much out, I know she meant for my own good. But mum, if you are reading this, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and want you to know that I will always love you. Take care of yourself and don't worry too much about me. I know the limits. Just give me the trust. :)
& lastly, to all of you out there who I know you for other reasons! Thank you for making my Polytechnic life a memorable for me and I hope the same goes to you. Thank you for coming into my life and not leaving. It's definitely nice to know each and single one of you. Thank you all who have made an effort to come down during the day just for a photo with me. Deeply appreciated!
Lastly, bye SP & I love you, my alma mater! PS: Graduation photos are on FB >>> https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151460732753717.1073741841.723573716&type=1&l=49f9c7b47a |

First Post in 2013
Saturday, 23 February 2013 02:42
It's been REALLY long since I blogged again. Just too much things piling up the previous months and finally I have got some time for myself.
Time really flies! In a few more days after my last paper, I will then unofficially graduate from SP. 3 years just zoomed pass me like this. It marks the end of another journey, of course, a start of a new one too! Gonna miss poly life definitely and I have been thankful to my awesome classmates and friends that I have made in SP for their company and making life in SP much more enriching and special for me. It has come to a time which I have to set off to a new journey, ideally, university. Nevertheless, before that, I shall spend some awesome time to relax and enjoy myself with my friends to reward myself for the 3 years of hard work before embarking on a 4 years journey. There is just so much things I wanna do! Sigh. How I wish I got all the money in the world to travel. :< Oh wells, shall be appreciative for what I have as of now! Can't wait to explore more places to leave my footprint and take pretty pretty pictures! Gonna study for my last paper when I wake up later for my last lap. Till then.. Annyeong! :D |

Happy Birthday Singapore! - The NS Song
Thursday, 9 August 2012 23:19
Hey everyone!
Happend to saw this video circulating on Facebook and I feel for the people who served the country! Just wanna share it with everyone. Haters gonna hate though. Nevertheless, I think what he said was true. National Service (NS) is supposed to be something that was meant to defend the country and loved ones & staying independent; the true meaning of serving. It's just how you see I guess! Spent my day at work today. Not a bad day I would say though there were some up and downs. :| Anyways, Happy Birthday Singapore! :D  Till next times peeps! Labels: Happy Birthday, National Day, NS Man, NS Song, Singapore, SoSingaporean |

Hello April.
Monday, 30 April 2012 23:00
1 April is April Fools' Day. However, it's a day which I missed my grandparents this year. On this day, I went to Bukit Brown and Mandai to visit our ancestors as it's the 清明节 period. Although I have not seen any of them before except my grandparents, the feeling of being attached to them is still there whenever I heard stories about them from my family. I guess, some people are just special to you even though you might just know them by names and stories. This is how history came about isn't it? :)
photo credit to my cousin
Met up with my sister and cousin after working at some event not to be mentioned since I hated it. Anyways, first time dining at TWG. Life's great! The tea and the food there is just too awesome... except the price tag. :3
* it's not about the $$$, not about the $ $ $... *
The annual Sentosa Outing happened to fall in the month of April too! Definitely a fun-filled one! This is the only time I will get to see some of the seniors of mine which I hardly see since they graduated and seldom drop by school. It's also a time I got to know other people better! Love my friends. :) Some quick shots below. ^-^
At the beach! ^-^
Dinner time @ Vivo City!
Baking is always fun with friends & I did that once during the month of April! :D It was an impromptu one though. :3 We had some much fun while baking and catching up. Shall have more session man! Totally missing the time when I am typing this post! :( Anyways, here's our end product! It might not be the best fruit tarts in the world. Nevertheless, it taste freaking awesome as we really put our hearts into it while baking. I guess this is applicable in life too. The work you have done might not be the most perfect idea but as long as you gave it the best shot, it will be the best, at least to you. Learn to love yourself peeps! Never give up on yourself. #mylifetheory
To end my April 2012, present to you one of my best mates I met via Singapore Youth Olympic Games! The siao-char-bo, Vanessa. :)
Meet up with here that day for some shopping & movie (Forget what movie though. I think America Pie)! Definitely an awesome babe to hang out with always. Sometimes, fate really does wonders! Although we live in the same area for 17 years, it's only till Olympics I met her and I got LOTS of mutual friends with her; majority my primary school friends which sad to say, I hardly contact them anymore. :'( Olympics brought us together and our friendship continues on! We are friends who meet up frequently just for a simple dinner or a movie or even just taking bus home! ^-^ She's single and available. Any takers? :P
Anyways, back to where I was, we did some shopping that day and went to Sarang @ Orchard Central to have our dinner. The food there is pretty authentic I would say. Korean food fanatic can try it out. :)
My yummy dinner!!
April, just a month full of contradictions.
Till then. :) Stay tune for my May post. :)

The second half.
Saturday, 31 March 2012 23:00
My birthday marks the half of March and it's gonna be April!
Went to Pornsak's restaurant at Bugis with the awesome babes! :) The food there is pretty good especially the TOM YAM! My fave over there. If you are a fan of thai fan, it is definitely a place you can pop by to try out. Remember to order Tom Yam Soup!
Had dinner with my mummy the next day at Seah Im. The ayam rice there is damn awesome! So does the chili! It's a pity my mum didn't really like it like I did. :/ Oh well, different preference! I love eating dinner with my mum. Although this meant that I will be nag by her every now and then, it just made me realize how much my mum really cares and love me through all the smallest little things she noticed and how understanding she is sometimes. Love you mum.
P/S: I'm not saying that I love your nagging though mummy. It's just accepting since it is just part of you. :P
March was just an awesome month for me. Some events are not to be mentioned here due to certain reasons but thank you to everyone out there who made the fave month of mine being so awesome! I love my family and friends.
Adios.

Birthday Celebrations
Monday, 19 March 2012 02:33
It is always nice to have friends to celebrate this special day of yours. It just makes you feel appreciated to be born in this world, someway and somehow.
Birthday celebrations aren't always oh-so-fabulous for me since it falls on school holidays since young! Most of the time, it is forgotten and somehow I got used to it. I never really had really close friends who will celebrate D-day for me. Maybe, that's how I got used to not having it being celebrated. Nevertheless, I still appreciate the time and effort of people who bothers to wish me on this special day of mine through various means and people who made an effort to celebrate on other days of the month. :) Of course, also to those people who gave me presents! Appreciated it! ^-^
My closest classmates celebrated this special day of mine this year. Although it was a short one, just wanna say a big thank you to you guys. Thanks for being so understanding for my bad tantrum and busy schedules throughout the past years. You guys are definitely one of the reasons why my poly life seems pretty awesome and fun! We might quarrel or even have tensions due to all the projects but we never give up on each other even though we faced different problems in different modules. Stay strong guys! Graduation in less than a year. I am so gonna miss you guys! Grad trip to where?!
My second celebration was with my ex-colleagues from UWS at Switch; actually only two of them cause the other two are my awesome classmates who also worked with me. Although I did not work there for long, these two people made my work there more fun than it should me. The night we manage to catch up pretty much. Many things had change since I would say. Oh well. Miss the dolphins and fishes there though. :( Anyways, thank you peeps for the celebration and the present! :) Oh! & said hello to my friend Nelson who happened to be working on that day as the bartender!
  
Once again, thanks for everything people! <3
