Went Johor today with the guys. Really funny time I had. Okie, it's rather late and my nocturnal demi-angel reminded me to sleep early again, so I shall pretty quickly wrap up this post. :)

"Are we there yet?! ARE WE THERE YET?!?!?!"

"Why we stop here? Why you no white card? WHY WHY WHY?!?!?"

My First Letter!

Do you folks still remember I once wrote about my sponsored child in Brazil? Well, I managed to write a letter to him awhile ago and I got his first reply! Actually, not much of a reply cos it was writtened and replied FOR him rather than FROM him. But he drew a cute little picture for me about a fruit tree under the bright sun, with him, his mother and sister. Uploaded the pics below so you can click on them to see it large and of cos to read the reply that was written in his place. :)



I'm gonna draw him a pretty pic in response (yes, yes I can draw), and send a photo of myself too. Hmm, gotta get a photo printed soon. Hehe

Let the fun begin!

My exams are over at long last. I haven't been studying for such a long continuous period since O' levels man. Back during the O's I spent 5 weeks studying til the last week of my exams, and this semester I spent 6 weeks studying until the last paper! Almost at the end of my stamina for my last paper, but should be fine in the end. Hehe..

Man, I'm starting to come to terms with the fact that I really know how to enjoy myself, either that or I'm just easily contented. During those tedious days of revising, practising exam papers and memorizing, I was watching "Whose Line Is It Anyway" everyday (I've 9 seasons worth of it), and a galore of movies. Now that my exams are over, it means I've technically less time to watch movies, and on to the more important stuffs. I quite foresee my December packed with church activities til Jan, which is excellent! I've so many ideas I hope to see through, and definitely have got to make time for the people around me for all the time I owe them during the exams. Also to catch up with old friends and some youths who haven't been attending church for some time now. So exciting..


One of the movies I managed to catch during the exams was "Chicken Little", whose soundtrack you're listening to now. Yes it's that cute fluffy feathery puny body, gigantic head chick movie. It's really an immensely cute show, putting your adulthood aside. I'm a sucker for cute things what, can't blame me. But it might not be worth catching in the theatres unless you're bringing kids along or something, cos the show is less than 70mins. If you can catch it for cheap, its definitely worth it! :)

Exactly 1 month from Christmas now. Excited excited. Wonder how the choir is coming along, it's been a couple of weeks since I've attended the practices. Should be good lah, so many talented folks in the church. It's my 23rd Christmas this year. Funny time of the year always, for me at least. Wonder what this year's Christmas would be like? Hope it doesnt pass me by before I even realize it, that's just plain sad.. like sleeping on 24th night and waking up on the 26th morning. Man!! Haha

Brought my mother's new camera (her's technically) out for a stroll today with Arjun and Philip. Met Shunjie, air force good buddy of Philip's and mine! Pleasant surprise it was. Shunjie was the number 1 trainee from our air force course, and I was number 2, which was a blessing in disguise cos I ended up being streamed into Platoon 2 - which was (in my opinion) way more FUN! Even when we suffered together, those days were really great. I wouldnt trade anything for those memories. Note: MEMORIES, cos I won't wanna go through them again though. Haha..


India r0x!

Reminds me I need a new wallet.. 0_o"

Philip, Shunjie and myself.
We served 6 months more, so dun complain!

Job satisfaction :)

"Luxurious" indeed

Pwetty flowers, but dun sniff them, stinks!

At 1/2 the price of NYDC's, but 3/4 quality.
Worth it? Work the Math.

Inside Plaza Singapura. Friday, so not really crowded lah.

65 hours

65 hours more to end of exams! 2 more papers to go, and I'll be exam-free for the next 1 year. Mooohohohoho Merry Christmas.

I've been sick the entire weekend actually. Not a good sign especially when you're right smack in the middle of your exams with the hardest one yet to come. Been praying real hard that any sickness, shall be reserved and delayed til after my last paper. Caught a little cold on Saturday morning, went home to take some panadol pills back with me after church. I couldnt really study much on Saturday cos my "dose" (that's the best I can pronounced nose with a blocked dose) was runny and I kept sneezing. Reminds me, I'm gonna start counting (and clamping down on) the "Daniel's available" jokes made during Saturday service. The total count was 5 on Saturday. No good lah, my name gets mentioned for every message David speaks. It's bad publicity man.. :(

Managed to do some revision on Sunday morning after the bout of cold, and it was goooood. But I couldnt make it in time for choir practice anyway, though I was right on the dot in time for worship practice at 4pm. Thanks to a special nocturnal demi-angel for reminding me to sleep early btw.. those 10 hours of rest really did me plenty of good! Haha

Anyway today....... I went to buy a new camera....... for my mum. Haha! Had been sourcing for one for the last month or so, saw one that was really suitable and well-priced and actually decided on that some time back. Almost wanted to buy it but held up a little cos they ran out of stock just before my exams and I didnt wanna travel there in the midst of my exams. Guess what? The newer model was JUST released and it is selling for the SAME price as the older one. Really thank God, cos I might have just splurged on the older one a few days BEFORE the newer model was up for sale. I got myself a good deal in the end, and a pretty good cam too.

Tried some snapshots with the new cam, will have plenty of time to fool around with it after the exams. Hehehe

Time to get serious

I'm feeling pretty upset with myself today. Basically cos I've spent the daytime much ado about nothing. I was originally supposed to be back in hostel at night, but decided to camp at home a little longer to catch Man United vs. Chelsea, which incidentally wasn't all that worthwhile in the end. Finally back in room now to catch up with some mean business. 6 more days to exams. I'm tasking myself to finish 3 past year exam papers per day, hopefully with a little more time leftover for additional revision. As always, I'm just hoping to pass all my subjects but will gladly take any A's or B's that come along. :)

Exam schedule:
14th Nov - Computer Networks
16th Nov - Database Systems
18th Nov - Operating Systems
21st Nov - HRM & Entreprenuership
23rd Nov - Control & Instrumentation (my nightmare)


Got Tsidkenu's querky Halloween pics at last. Thanks to Rachel for her Nokia phone, Lydia for her Powerbook, Uncle Jimmy for investing in it, and Tsidkenu for being such a sport. Probably one of the more interesting posts til the end of my exams. Stay tuned..

Can you recognize us through our disguises? Betcha cant..
