Journey of James Walk with me through this journey

    Just one minute ago(taking now its 0000H of 8th April) marks the end of 7th April, which is Sophie’s birthday. Now, it’s mine! :)

    Actually, there’s nothing much to be happy about. I am rushing my Computer Graphics Lab assignment which I have to get it done by Thurs night.

    Had a simple early celebration by eating out with my family. My dad suggested eating Pepper Lunch at IMM as i told my parents I have not tried the food at Pepper Lunch before (Don’t you dare laugh at me.)

    I always got that mindset that the food at Pepper Lunch is expensive, but i realised that it is not that expensive as compared to many other restaurants. The food was not bad, I like the hamburger meat – Very soft and tender. I ordered the “Beef with Egg”, the meat was a little tough. The ice-cream with the sesame was something special.

    Well, its birthday and somehow I will always think of this song and think of the past. Call me “emo” or what, but sometimes you just can’t forget some stuff that happened in the past. Maybe by opening up, I will let go of such “emotional baggage”

    *Disclaimer* I like the song but not the video( all those kissing have totally no link to the lyrics)

    Well, its 1st April. 21 more days to my first exam papers. I guess I will really have to work very hard for this remaining 3 weeks. Some of my lectures have already completed – which is good. I will have more time to do my revision and doing past year papers. I really want to achieve my goal that I have set during the start of this semester.

    On a side note. I was chatting with YB one night, she was sharing with me that she is considering to change hosting for her domain as she experienced numerous downtime and is pissed off with the irresponsible customer support.

    Well, to me I am not too concerned about have 99.9% uptime or good support as I know downtime in my blog won’t affect a lot of people as there are not many readers in my blog. I think i can count the number of readers with my 2 hands.

    I feel like sharing some of the stuff that I had learnt during my intensive 3 days course. Although the course is mainly about value investing, but the speaker did talk about personal management skills too. He quoted Albert Einstein’s saying, which I can’t remember the exact words but it something like ” Insanity is when you are doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

    It’s quite common sense but when you reflect on your own actions, you are bound to find out that there are certain stuff that you keep repeating the same way of doing it, but hoping to get different results.

    Sunday, I went to give tuition. My student was so funny. The question was “Explain your answer in (a)” , which the answer was “Chicken is an omnivore”. Guess what she wrote? “Because it is a chicken” I was stunned when i first saw that answer, but after asking her, she said she didn’t know how to answer. I couldn’t help but laugh.

    After tuition, i went out with my mum, to visit our ex-neighbour house. It was his third child(a son)’s 1st month. Reached his house( @ Sembawang) at around 2pm. I realised that we weren’t very late and many of his guests turned up later than us. Ate my late lunch, the food was nice! Love the curry ( oh ya, btw my ex-neighbour is an Indian, and his family recently got Singapore Citizenship).  Before my mum and I left, he asked “So when is your daughter going to get married?”. Both my mum and I started to laugh. hahaha.

    But when I looked at the baby, I realised that is  the meaning of love. That’s the same reason why I was born into this world – the love of my parents.

    Tuesday, I had an interview in school, as I applied for a minor in Entrepreneur. The dress code was formal. But I felt a little weird to wear formal clothing for school lessons, but had no choice. Well, I waited almost half for my interview, think the previous group took a very long time. The interview was a group interview. It was a nervous but good experience in my opinion, it was as though I was sitting in the boardroom in Donald’s Trump’s Apprentice. The interviewers informed us to expect a reply within 2 weeks from the interview date. (Pray hard I will get it :) )

    Well, as I will be attending a 3 full day course from Fri-Sun. I won’t be able to physically there to post on Friday night( but wait. there’s scheduled posting in WordPress! :) )

    This period of time, I had been chatting much more with my friends, like YB, Ben & Pui Han. (Yes… because I am more free) Especially more to YB, I guess. And I must thank her, for making my day more happy and cheerful whenever I chat with her, or sharing our jokes and stories. Never fail to laugh each time i chat with her online.

    On a side note, anybody who needs a webcam? I recently bought one, but seldom used. Used 1 or 2 times only. It’s a 5Megapixels webcam from Prolink ( Model :P CC5020). Any interested buyers can contact me. Thanks!

    How time flies. So many things to be done but yet so little time. sigh. There are a few assignments’ deadlines that I must remember. Like my computer graphics assignment (supposed to create a virtual home with a couple of “functions” in it). I also have a discrete maths assignment, which I dun know what the question is asking!

    Well, this week is e-learning week. Actually I would rather not have e-learning week. It breaks the momentum, it gives me a strong reason to just slack and relax. If there were no e-learning week, then i will be “forced” to go to school and attend lessons and do my tutorials! haha.

    I would have to cheong abit for the next few days, as I would be attending a full 3 day course from Fri-Sun. So, 3 days would be burnt, can’t do work/revise for exams.

    *edited* well, conflict was resolved. All is fine after a HTHT.

    Its Friday night again, time for update!

    This week has been quite hectic. Rushing to do Java lab and more labs. Have to die-die complete my current one by Monday, Tue got quiz which uses the current lab work. I have a few lectures to catch up as I skipped a few lectures(for 1 valid reason and just “lazy to attend that boring lecture”) Not to mention another of my core lab – Computer Graphics. The lab assignment is totally nothing linked to what would be tested in exams. Its really e-learning for that lab(really irritating).

    I didn’t get much opportunity to talk to Sophie..Most of the time. our timing were not the same. I am online when she is outside, or we are both online but she seems busy with her homework and stuff, so didn’t talk much.

    Next week is recess week. But there is not much difference for me. As I have to go back 4 out of 5 days. Monday and Tuesday for lab work. Thurs and Fri for my accounting elective ( MB101) lecture and tutorial.

    Workload is starting to pile up. I must start panicking. My first exam papers is on 22nd April (that is in around 1 months time).

    <rant>

    There is still one thing I want to rant: STUPID INTERNET SPEED!!!!

    I really can’t stand it. Not sure whether is it Singtel or there is something wrong with the mIo modem. But the fact that its only at night around 8pm-12midnight (which I think the peak hour for internet) when my internet will keep d/c-ing. I have no such problems when using the internet in the morning. So, I strongly believe that it has something gotta do with Singtel.

    </rant>

HI! Welcome to my new blog


Feel free to visit my other sections : My home, Me myself & I, my biz.


As you can see, the layout of this blog is very simple. Let me state that I don't have much knowledge of php, so I don't know much on how to edit the themes. So I'll just chose a Wordpress theme and made some simple adjustments. Hope you don't mind.
