I actually was having more than one week of UN-official holiday, because I finished my exams on the 3rd day of exam week. LoLz. So was enjoying myself like I mentioned in my earlier post. This post is more for the days after the others more or less start finishing their exams ady and going out with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So first was going to watch Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa with Xander, Yen, SuYin, Carly and WeiFeng. LoLz, my 2nd time watching in one week, and in the same Hall and row. Lolz. But not a bad movie to watch, so 2nd time was stil fun to watch since it is so packed with comedy. Haha. Enjoyed it just as much as the 1st time with YinChau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then next few days, just go out for dinner with different bunches of people. Even ended up having Philipino food at Marina Sq. Not that bad, just that the drinks were very not worth it. less than 500ml and it cost SGD6. I think was only 250ml... but the food is nice. Was a la carte, so 5 of us shared 4 dishes and rice. Only SGD24, so isnt too expensive in my opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then on thursday nite, went out to meet James and everyone else, alot of people, 14 or 15 i think. Went to have dinner at Holland V's The Coffee Club. Had the most meager dish I have ever had. 1 small pastry with alot of salad and some mushroom cream sauce at the side. Pastry was supposed to be stuffed with salmon but it was so little. =.= Not going to have that again. After that, we went for dessert at Haagen Daaz. Didnt have anything because I wasn't in the mood for desserts, just didnt want any.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then on friday, we went out for movie at ViVo, went to watched Bolt. Its an alright movie, I think Madagascar was funnier, but it also had its own set of funnies. Haha. Nothing major on friday, was only supposed to go for Guild lunch but ended up being cancelled and so went to Engin for lunch. Haha. Then dinner was at Fong Seng. Spent alot the last few days. But good thing I didn't spend too much during the rest of semester. So don't feel too guilty about it. Hehe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then on Saturday, is time to go back. But it sucks going back in morning, when one can't fall asleep at night. So was awake till over 4am and woke up at 7am. LoLz. But nvm, since can sleep more when back home. Haha. And its good to be back :) Missed my family so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now just waiting for 10th Dec so that we can go holiday in Japan! WooHoo~~ Hope that will be a good trip. Need touch up on Jap, Sayonara ~~ *for now*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-8327522711129392476?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/8327522711129392476/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=8327522711129392476' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/8327522711129392476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/8327522711129392476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2008/12/last-few-days-before-official-start-of.html' title='Last few days before OFFICIAL start of holidays~~'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-5664221512911623335</id><published>2008-12-01T10:22:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-01T10:38:56.474+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Enjoying myself after exams.. so to speak</title><content type='html'>Well just wanted to blog about what has been happening the past few days during and after exam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Firstly, during exam period or at least during study break, i received this, well more like bought this :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/STNL2-zkkXI/AAAAAAAAAQw/on_-4BCGQf0/s1600-h/WoW.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 307px; height: 157px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/STNL2-zkkXI/AAAAAAAAAQw/on_-4BCGQf0/s320/WoW.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274642996525306226" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;WOOHOO!!! Uber cool, but too bad I am still just starting out so havent gotten to enjoy this that much yet. But just wait till one day, I will reach the peak! Go go! Not too mention having guildmates that are helpful as well would make playing more enjoyable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So got it from JunYen during study break, which I couldn't wait for exams to be over to start playing. Which I am now, resulting in this short old man:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/STNL3PHNcbI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/lxLVorhtDeE/s1600-h/Mithandir.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 205px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/STNL3PHNcbI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/lxLVorhtDeE/s320/Mithandir.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274643000902644146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides WoW: WotLK, I also enjoyed the 1st day after exams by going out to try thea Korean BBQ restaurant opposite Haw Par Villa, wasn't exactly what I expected, where I expected better.. haih.. not worth it.. well at least now I know. But was surprised to get this for ordering to BBQ dishes,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/STNL4nu41II/AAAAAAAAARQ/thJEYfjaRys/s1600-h/DSC00214.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/STNL4nu41II/AAAAAAAAARQ/thJEYfjaRys/s320/DSC00214.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274643024691385474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this is like the combo that comes with the BBQ, alot of cold stuff, well they weren't hot at least. And alot raw vegetables to be used to wrap the BBQ-cooked stuff. Moderate enjoyment of food, poor performance in terms of price =.= Such a let down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then yesterday went over to Suntec to meet up with YinChau and her family. Since they came down to visit and have a short holiday. Hehe. They ended up going there to walk, on the way to meet her I stopped at HMV to browse around and ended up getting this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/STNL3XKekLI/AAAAAAAAARA/-d7dhlFRzto/s1600-h/DSC00219.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/STNL3XKekLI/AAAAAAAAARA/-d7dhlFRzto/s320/DSC00219.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274643003063832754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/STNL4FlxP4I/AAAAAAAAARI/_lZ_THoVPZc/s1600-h/DSC00220.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/STNL4FlxP4I/AAAAAAAAARI/_lZ_THoVPZc/s320/DSC00220.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274643015526334338" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Linkin Park's latest album, although not an album of new songs, its still cool, cos its the live performance CD n DVD combo. After HMV, stopped at MPH where I bought a story book, Terry Pratchett's "Sorcery", which I haven't read before, so hoping to get lost in Discworld like I always have enjoyed =D.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats about it, and just feeling so bored now that YinChau has just went home. Only thing to do now is continue WoW-ing. ZAP ZAP! DIE!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-5664221512911623335?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/5664221512911623335/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=5664221512911623335' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/5664221512911623335'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/5664221512911623335'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2008/12/enjoying-myself-after-exams-so-to-speak.html' title='Enjoying myself after exams.. so to speak'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/STNL2-zkkXI/AAAAAAAAAQw/on_-4BCGQf0/s72-c/WoW.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-8289782525636774065</id><published>2008-11-27T02:43:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-11-27T02:52:49.577+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Earliest!!! ~~ to end exam =P</title><content type='html'>WOO HOO!!! super glad to be over with exams. Officially finished my exams and ended the first semester at 11am, 25th Nov. Possibly the earliest amongst my friends here. Wahaha. So shiok, now can enjoy and relax, catch up on blogging as well? Lolz, hope so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess exams was alright, not much to say, shouldn't have any pulling down of grades this semester I think. I did quite a satisfactory job, so no regrets.. but would still not want to have CAP dropping, maintaining is a-okay for me! No high hopes, no low blows. =P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now that exams are over, continuing on with WoW! My shorty gnome warlock needs training, forgot alot of things, and with the new things with the expansion, super lost. Just gotta play it through and adapt, which i don't mind honestly. Haha. WoW together with episodes of CSI, will be my entertainment till all my friends are free. Can't wait to hang out and do stuff with everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a side note, since yesterday was my official first day of holiday, I decided to go get my Laptop checked. Appears that the DVD-Drive was really bonkers. So got it replaced under warranty, and got to reformat. Now its nice n clean =D , with fujitsu screen savers. Haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well thats all for now, try to catch up more, but nothing much to say since nothing much happens once I started staying outside and everyone started getting busy. Especially after the mid-term break, so for now just gonna sit back n relax. **satisfaction**&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-8289782525636774065?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/8289782525636774065/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=8289782525636774065' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/8289782525636774065'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/8289782525636774065'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2008/11/earliest-to-end-exam-p.html' title='Earliest!!! ~~ to end exam =P'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-3611021235367210379</id><published>2008-08-22T00:15:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2008-08-22T00:47:38.113+08:00</updated><title type='text'>End of Year 2 break - "Continued"</title><content type='html'>Well jz thought that I'd blog finish about my long break where I did an internship for the most part. Now just want to blog about the different things that happened during the break that is NOT internship related.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the break, my family would come down to visit me, sometimes just mum and sis, other times abit more, and other times again EVEN MORE! Till not enough place to sleep. LoL.. Then the duration varies, sometimes for a week, sometimes less. There was a time Jacq came for nearly 2 weeks or maybe more. Can't exactly remember. Haha. And she was pretty bored, but she is lucky that by the time she came, the internet was up and running. Which I might add, I took a whole day leave to just get it set-up and spent pointless time travelling since I thought the modem was going bonkers. And the solution ~~~ I am not going to say to save embarassing myself. Haha. But happy to have it up and running, with a speed of 10Mbps Unlimited, only drawback for my desktop is that it takes a few minutes for it to actually allow me to access the Internet. So besides that, its all cool =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there was a week where YinChau came to visit me also, since she also needed to do some admin stuff to get her results and stuff. So spent some time with her by taking leave for the Friday before she goes back to KL, so had three days to spend with her without worrying about work. Haha. Brought her to go to the Singapore Flyer, which is not that bad, considering the time we went when the sun was starting to make its descent. Then there were nights where she and myself would cook dinner, which is more healthy then Fong Seng (main supper place). LoL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then a few times went out to watch movie with the others, such as Iron Man!!! NICE! I know kinda late to say it but seriously worth the money, especially since we got to sit in the bigger cinema, the GVMax. Shioks de ne! Den there was Wanted also, highly anticipated but overly rated and emphasised through their trailer. So much physics-bending events and graphics! Lol. If only it was possible, I wouldnt mind joining the Fraternity if I could.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there are also a few times where some of those still around and doing internship would come over to my place and we would watch movie or something, and also play texas hold'em, since I got a box of chips, 4coloursx25chips. Not much, but its something. We havent played with real money though. Haha. Also got a few occassions where some of them from PGP would come over to "learn" swimming at night. Since SRC (Sports and Recreation Center) is closed or something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UFOIII was also during this period, and Yen came back the week before it started, participated and helped out not as much as I hoped I would. So didnt get to know my own age group as much, D= , but at least I met them. Although I hardly see any of the freshies now. Haha. But had fun during Sentosa, helped WingSheng out and end up kena forfeit in the end also, swtness.. mix with him.. sure get kena also.. LoL.. such as getting thrown into the sea =.= but that was also because Kim Wong was also around, so unexpected.. And since I was also wet, everyone else near the sea wont be getting off so easily. LoL. But it was nice to hang out with them and stuff, chit chat gets crazy! Haha. Onion head. LoL. So unexpected that so many had that same feeling. I guess somethings are just so obvious..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so.. that wraps up how I spent my days outside of work when I am not alone, and when I am alone.. I jz sit infront of the desktop playing NBA (courtesy of Kai Lin) or stream House or watch movies from James (before internet).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-3611021235367210379?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/3611021235367210379/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=3611021235367210379' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/3611021235367210379'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/3611021235367210379'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2008/08/end-of-year-2-break-continued.html' title='End of Year 2 break - &quot;Continued&quot;'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-4477475179053373452</id><published>2008-08-10T14:36:00.006+08:00</published><updated>2008-08-10T17:12:56.856+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Last day of Summer Break~~~</title><content type='html'>FREAK-ing long time didnt blog, 2-3months maybe? Haha. Just no time and didnt have much to blog about, since was kinda repetitive at time. LoL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So lets start around where I left off. Right after exams, and going into the 1st week of holiday. It started off with the weekend, where can enjoy and celebrate for the end of exams, however, alot of friends already left to go back to Msia, with some staying for work. I am in the latter grouping. So come 1st Monday of the 1st week of Summer Break, I gotta wake up early and head to the Corporation Road, near Jurong. Was suppose to be there only at 9am, but I wasn't so sure how long the trip there would be, I left at around 7.30am. Lol. Ended up reaching early, and so was given basic and boring paperwork to do. However, at 9am, the other Biz intern arrived, and so we could start with the orientation for us interns. And here is where I am working:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/SJ6OtCd_OPI/AAAAAAAAAKM/amAF8yygjcs/s1600-h/DSC00127.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/SJ6OtCd_OPI/AAAAAAAAAKM/amAF8yygjcs/s320/DSC00127.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232776721459001586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the name of the building where the company is at&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/SJ6OtQk0BLI/AAAAAAAAAKU/mvune21k8sE/s1600-h/DSC00130.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/SJ6OtQk0BLI/AAAAAAAAAKU/mvune21k8sE/s320/DSC00130.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232776725245723826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the company's name.. Rockwell Automation Asia Pacific Business Center Pte. Ltd.  ... Long name huh. Haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So got a tour of the place, they occupy the front section of Corporation place, on two levels. And its BIG! And alot of ppl. Especially on the 5th floor, I am on the 6th. Since 5th is the production floor. Their production scale is quite large, thankfully the components are small, otherwise, logistics is going to be really troublesome, even with the Service elevator which is bigger den my PGP room. Haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so this is where I was working from the 12th of May til the 1st of August. Having to wake up at 7-7.15am in the morning to get a bus latest by 8am to reach the office by 8.30am. And I have never ended up later den 8.45am i think. Haha. Which I kind of regret. But have to so that I dont feel the guilt. Will work everyday till around 11.50am, and get ready for lunch break from 12-1pm, but never came back 15min b4 1pm, always on the dot or later than that. There was once we came back at nearly 2pm cos of rain and no way to avoid it. Haha. Then after lunch would continue working till 5.25pm, to get ready to go back. So at that time i would start signing out of MSN, save all my work, check email 1 last time and then turn off workstation. And whee ngam ngam 5.30pm, go go! Haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 1st week of work was memorable, because my supervisor forgot to put in the request for a computer for me, meaning I was doing paperwork on the first and second day of work. Swt. Boring betul. Really the no-brainer kind of paperwork. But good thing I didnt end up getting sleepy. When finally got the computer, stunned, cos it was a small 1. I think 14" monitor and the mini desktop. Lol. Keyboard was also kind of tiny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/SJ6PB1IY6ZI/AAAAAAAAAKc/eV2da9quq0M/s1600-h/IMG_1957.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/SJ6PB1IY6ZI/AAAAAAAAAKc/eV2da9quq0M/s320/IMG_1957.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232777078656002450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;And so here is my worktable. Imagine the 1st day, it was compeletly empty. LoL. Only the stationary at the side, phone also wasnt there yet. And it slowly built up to this =D Dont know why I am happy over this though. Haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alot of paperwork I went through, and there was the compactor filing, which had even more files, and I go there quite often as well. Swt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The things that I was mainly involved or mainly did was:&lt;br /&gt;1) Finding invoices, payment vouchers, misc documents for data.&lt;br /&gt;2) Keying in the data obtained to a spreadsheet to be submitted to government to claim money&lt;br /&gt;3) Photocopy ALOT of documents, maybe even more than 1000 pages in total over my internship period&lt;br /&gt;4) Filing back all those documents, finding them again when requested, and again filing back, especially on the last day =.= .. get back to this later.&lt;br /&gt;5) Key in payments that need to be made into a very widely used Manufacturing management/accounting software called MFGPRO, which was actually all in MS-DOS. LoL. So monochrome effect.&lt;br /&gt;6) Finding different people from different departments for tagging fixed assets. MOST DIFFICULT TASK, THIS IS!&lt;br /&gt;7) Some Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities.&lt;br /&gt;8) alot of other repetitive and no-brainer work. Lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the basic flow of the whole thing, went to collect documents for the claims and so that the auditor can come and check and leave asap. Which she kind of did. Hehe. All thanks to my hardwork. However, after I prepared all the photocopies, the auditor wanted to see all the original copies!!! ZzZzZz.... So it was back to the compactor, opening nearly the same file over 4times for different documents, since I was searching based on different people at a time. Some of the documents were like the next document and I didnt realise it. What a waste of time. And after getting all the documents and putting it all in a nice stacked order for the auditor, I find out on the 2nd last day, that I was supposed to keep it all back in again. =.= Was previously told by the auditor after she left that I should leave the documents out first, in case they need to come back to check again. ON THE 2nd LAST DAY of my internship, I was told to file it ALL back. ZZZZ!!! nearly 100 documents to file back, into maybe 20 files. And all done on the last day. Had to CHIONG! took me nearly 2hours, which is actually VERY GOOD! Considering that it took me 1day to take it all out. I guess this is the difference between strategizing on how to do a task before doing it. LoL. To make my last day EVEN more hectic, was having to sort, and file invoices that were to be made payable. This is done at the end of every month =.= the month's closing. Even on my last day I had to do it, since still considered a staff there. So it was like 2 and a half A4 sized basket 1' high full of tax invoices to be sorted alphabetically and then by a reference number! Huah! Crazy! Chionged doing it for also 2-3hours. And this was after lunch!!! Both the refiling and this invoice clearing, RIGHT after lunch! 1st time I was EVER so BUSY!!! I am not saying I wasnt before, but 1st time having to CHIONG and be pressured to complete it. And so I ended up leaving office at nearly 6pm. LoL. Not bad, considering the sudden increase in workload. Lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the other main task, besides the claim was the tagging that I mentioned earlier, and it is difficult because of two things, 1) there was a heck load of assets, some were in storage, making it hard to find, others were disposed off, transferred to another location.. so many different cases. worst of all was when there were many units under 1 tag code, so had (x / y), (x+1 / y) ..... sienz when got such. Sometimes there were just too many that it just cant be tagged. And also theres a cut off limit, but still got some that were below that limit that shouldnt be tagged, are still tagged because its needed by the boss. =.= Dont know which to follow, company policy set by HQ or boss. Well lucky I am only here for 2mths+ so best to follow boss, which means more work. Haih. Then the 2nd reason was, the person in charge. Some of them are very helpful, but the others were so pro at "Tai-Chi" pushed to other people or give the common excuse, not free now. Never free 1. =.= Got 1 I even saw the person jz talking to another person while doing some kind of exercise, just rotate the waist and talking. ARGH!!! useless! Well at least I did my best. And cleared up most of the tagging. And also the assets were located on both floors, so for those that were in the production floor, I was required to wear a smock, to prevent electro static damage (ESD) to their electrical components and etc. And also a heel strap, since i dont have the ESD safer footwear. Heres a picture of the smock that was loaned to me:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/SJ6PCANJ_7I/AAAAAAAAAKk/EUPrYRUSHeI/s1600-h/DSC00164.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/SJ6PCANJ_7I/AAAAAAAAAKk/EUPrYRUSHeI/s320/DSC00164.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232777081628786610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing that was done by me even though it is not exactly in my job description was data entry, the invoices that are payable. So spent alot of time keying in the data. Fell asleep on numerous occassions. It cant be helped, it was just TOO boring, and I jz had lunch, so tendency to fall asleep higher that time. Haha. But really, easy job la. Only way for it to be difficult was when its hard to find the PO number, or invoice number. But also had to be careful to key in the correct data, such as exchange rate if there is any, or the invoice date. After that, there was just the printing of a summary report. simple task.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also involved in two CSR activities, 1st was the food delivery to the elderly, aka Meals on Wheels. This I didnt sign up for but was signed up by the department's big boss for the whole department. Happened in the 2nd or 3rd week. Easy task, just go and deliver packed food to a selected few house units. Troublesome part was maybe going to the different blocks and units, and also the running up and down. But then, after that, the following week got treated to a department lunch, because of doing this, WOOT! Free Meal!!! The 2nd activity, I voluntarily signed up for it, around the 4th last week of internship. House Cleaning for the Elderly. This was abit tiring, and hot. I ended up being assigned to clean the toilet, after being teased to do it, I really end up doing it. Swt. But good thing it wasnt a very dirty toilet. Haha. Just normal dirt cleaning, and not wat I was afraid off. =P Hehe. But we were like the last few groups to finish. Huah, really alot of cleaning. Haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most no-brainer job I got was tearing the perforated carbon copies sides. Haha. So easy, at first I tore it page by page, but after the 1st 100pages, it was IMPOSSIBLE!!! So I took the risk in trying to tear a whole bunch at once, AND IT WAS POSSIBLE!!! And much more efficient. Haha. Heres a pic of my mountain of tearing work. LoL. Btw, there were 4 such mountains, some even denser and taller than this. Lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/SJ6PCKHmoSI/AAAAAAAAAKs/w9O5ipwj-wc/s1600-h/DSC00163.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/SJ6PCKHmoSI/AAAAAAAAAKs/w9O5ipwj-wc/s320/DSC00163.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232777084289851682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But seriously the most no brainer, and at least wont fall asleep. Haha, consider it physical exercise. Hehe. And also thankfully they have the BIG hole punchers, which you can see at the side of my worktable, all the way to the right in the earlier picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in my 2nd last week there, I had to do a presentation to the BIG BIG Bosses.. the VP of the APBC, Mr Dave Johnson, and a few other bosses. But the VP was already the highest in the company and in my presentation. So I presented with the other intern. Was quite nervous, but it turned out alright thanks to the friendliness of the company and the support from my department head and supervisor. Hehe. And there was no "head-wrenching" kind of questions. Thankfully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm.. so basically that was all during my work there. Met a great bunch of people. Some very friendly, some very helpful, and all nice people. No stress there. Hehe. Not much anyway. The people there are just so nice and friendly. Here's a pic of my whole department.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/SJ6sySrhFSI/AAAAAAAAAK0/OPvuk3PCBLU/s1600-h/IMG_1959.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/SJ6sySrhFSI/AAAAAAAAAK0/OPvuk3PCBLU/s320/IMG_1959.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232809797058893090" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;From L-R, Andrew (Very friendly and fun to talk to, reminds me of WK for some reason), Winn Ei (New staff), Esther (treat me to lunch once), Hui Leng (Depatment Head), Ida (My 1st supervisor), Jessie (2nd supervisor), Suk Joo (Korean from the Korea Branch, on a 6month transfer), Xing Ling (Just graduated from SIM, but worked and studied at the same time), Me, Edmund (New staff), Phoon (helped him to do the A/P processing) and Ching Ouh (a very friendly and generous guy). Nice bunch of peple, have to really thank all of them. For giving me a good experience. And also thanks to the drivers for fetching me and the others out to lunch, especially Ching Ouh and Andrew. Then Phoon, when we went for the Home Cleaning, and Hui Leng when go to Meals On Wheels. Haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And also got 5 free LUNCH! The first after Meals On Wheels, 2nd when another staff (Edward) left, 3rd when Edmund arrive, 4th when Winn Ei arrived and last was my Farewell Lunch. Wahahaha. Shiok de ne! Then also had a free lunch from Ching Ouch once, and from Esther. Then also got alot of freebies from the company, got a free larnyard, 2 free portable fan and a company mug! Company mug was supposed to be given to me near the start but only got it halfway. Then the other two was from the company's Movie Night. Paid only $3 to get into GVMax to watch Indiana Jones, and a free sausage combo. Woot woot! Haha. Then there was also the Work Safety Fair, which was suppose to be a fun session to play some games. And win cheap prizes. LoL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that was basically all that happened during work, besides the daily going to work and coming back and doing work there and etc. Lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I am just waiting for my final pay cheque. FASTER GIMME MONEY!!! =P&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-4477475179053373452?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/4477475179053373452/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=4477475179053373452' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/4477475179053373452'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/4477475179053373452'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2008/08/last-day-of-summer-break.html' title='Last day of Summer Break~~~'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/SJ6OtCd_OPI/AAAAAAAAAKM/amAF8yygjcs/s72-c/DSC00127.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-3472625055624898240</id><published>2008-05-12T19:36:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2008-05-13T20:20:32.216+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Entry into an Internship...</title><content type='html'>Like the blog title suggest, I started my internship today. Feel pretty nervous the night before. Couldn't exactly get to sleep. Haha. And all that worrying was actually not worth it.. since the company is quite alright.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So abit of a background on the company I am working at, for the next 2 and a half month. Its Rockwell Automation Asia Pacific Business Center P/C. Haha.. long name le.. But its actually just Rockwell Automation, RA for short, or Rockwell. Its a electronics company from the US that set up here not too long ago. They have 5 main products, 2 of which the subsidiary I work for is globally responsible for. SO its quite a big company, considering its still considered a Start-up by the Govt. I am given the "Finance Intern" position, but I feel that its basically going to be just do alot of paperwork and data crunching, but as long as I dont get too bored, I think I can survive. The pay isnt that bad as well. Haha. Secret for me to know =P. But its high enough that I will need to work hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Woke up at around 6.50am to get ready and shower finish. And so by 7.30am was at the busstop nearby to wait for the bus. Around 7.40am the bus came and was approximately a 40min ride before I reached near the building, where I take another 5mins to walk to from the stop I get off. Btw, its at Corporation Place, so if you take the 2nd link and come through Tuas on bus, you can see it. Reached the office kinda early.. around 8.20am, and waited till around 8.45am when I was suppose to only be there by 9am. But I cant help coming early. Haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So by 9am, met the HR person that set up the recruitment offer, Ms Lydia. Quite a nice lady, my 1st time meeting her. And she gave me and another guy, Ryan also from NUS, 3rd Year Biz. He is here as a Marketing Intern, and so she gave us a tour and briefing of the company, and handed us over to our respective departments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1st day on the job, and I only do paperwork. Since they havent got my workstation ready yet. Haha. But its alright, since I am still new, and not bored easily. Haha. Then had lunch at the building's canteen on the 7th floor. Its not the tastiest but I guess its alright. And after lunch I felt sleepy, after doing abit of work. Huah.. cannot cannot.. so I end up going to the pantry to make myself a cup of tea. Hehe, since its free also. Got alot of things that happened I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- I met Kai Ju there... although he is at the other phase.&lt;br /&gt;- Learnt there are vendors everyweek, fruit and bread vendors that come on alternate weeks.&lt;br /&gt;- Got a temporary access card, where I need to tap tap to access places.&lt;br /&gt;- Saw the production line 1 floor below, which is actually quite small, since its all electronics, but the area is actually quite big.&lt;br /&gt;- Did alot of paperwork and sorting and filing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And at the end of the workday, which is around 5.30pm, I went back. Went back home, changed and went for a short swim, but had a change of mood after a few laps due to the not so clear water and loneliness. So got out and went up to change into some dry clothes. Then went for dinner 1st, at the mamak nearby. After which I went back for abit, sat around, watched TV, and then Leo ajak me to PGP. And so went there to play board games. And around 10+, close to 11, went back home. Was bored of waiting for bus, so walked back. Hehe. And thats how my 1st day was.. Hopefully it gets more interesting.. with more interesting tasks and also my own workstation!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-3472625055624898240?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/3472625055624898240/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=3472625055624898240' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/3472625055624898240'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/3472625055624898240'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2008/05/entry-into-internship.html' title='The Entry into an Internship...'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-132358358285857153</id><published>2008-05-11T14:08:00.005+08:00</published><updated>2008-05-13T19:52:32.508+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The end of exams....</title><content type='html'>Super overdue post now. And after this post dont know how long more till the nest 1 because of no internet available once I work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, basically was heck busy with exams, and studying during the study week. Here's my schedule approximately 2 weeks before exams, so like my previous post.. I had 1 presentation on 11th April, followed by another on 18th April, both Fridays. And then supposed to have a week of studying before exam, however.... on 19th April.. I already have my 1st Paper.. "Quiz" ( I feel it is an Exam though.. Cheated!) Followed by another on the 21st.. UBER Hectic! So end up cramming everything between the two presentation dates. And those two papers were Finance Major modules, so I absolutely CANNOT screw up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then my next exam was on the 30th of April, and luckily its a IT module, so it isnt that difficult to study. SO actually end up studying for my other modules 1st, and left the IT for the last two days. So studied for my core modules that are on the 3rd and 7th of May. However, after the IT exam, I went to find my mum and family, who came down to help me and my friends shift my stuff to my new place. So didnt get any proper studying done =S, well not until the 24th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IT exam was alright, just abit tricky. Since some questions are like.. "The following are true EXCEPT..", "Which of the following is INCORRECT.." or "Which of the following are CORRECT.." meaning that you really need to read the question properly before answering. And good thing I double checked, because I actually ended up making a few mistakes. Phew~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next paper, Operations Management, my core module. But so sad that I didnt study it very seriously. Didnt do any practice for that, just studied the notes. Now I regret having done so... =( Got some questions I should have been able to do, its like a give away question.. and so much marks, but the phrasing and so much words just made me so confused. And hence, I came out of that exam pretty much bummed, but the next day I got over it ... eventually ... and I am only down to 1 last exam paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last paper, which was in the evening, whilst everything else was in the morning.. =.= , Asia Pacific Business Policy and Ethics. Long name, for a super OPEN and BROAD module. Basically covered all the economic crisis and situations in the AP region. Good thing it was focused to only 4 main countries, and not all the countries in the region. I guess its an Ok paper, could do finish, but just bang-ed and crapped my way through. Handed in only 1 10page booklet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And on the 7th of May, at 7.30pm, I have officially finished my 2nd year in NUS, and 2 (or 1) year to go till I graduate with my Bachelors Degree. Now I just wish that the results will be kind to me and my friends. Wish all my friends the best for their exam results.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-132358358285857153?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/132358358285857153/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=132358358285857153' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/132358358285857153'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/132358358285857153'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2008/05/end-of-exams.html' title='The end of exams....'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-2657048277863020556</id><published>2008-04-09T18:21:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-04-09T18:30:43.112+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Sickness ~~</title><content type='html'>Gonna be a really short update.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Been super busy with projects and presentations, result of procrastinating too much. And also a result for getting one too many useless people. Even if got do work, seriously at the barest of minimum. Ended up having the same useless person in another module, and group work. So next year must try to overcome these problems already, 1st problem is ownself, but 2nd problem should be able to manage if with friends I have worked with. For this project, I ended up staying up to 5-6am and sleeping only till 9-10am for 3 days straight. Ended up completing the project but not sure whether it is actually even to par.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just finished a presentation today, can say that this project is quite good. Happy to have reliable groupmates that get the work done. Now that 1 is down, another presentation to go on Friday. Then next week Wednesday another presentation, which would then have a 30% quiz on the coming Saturday after that. Not to mention another presentation on the Friday between that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I am bombarded with presentations until the very last minute. After that there is also another Quiz on Monday. Officially finishing 2 modules by the 21st of April, I just hope I dont fail these two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To end it all up, my early morning spree has i think resulted in myself getting sick, well my throat is getting very sore and phlegmy. Besides that, I hope I dont get even more sick.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-2657048277863020556?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/2657048277863020556/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=2657048277863020556' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/2657048277863020556'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/2657048277863020556'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2008/04/sickness.html' title='Sickness ~~'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-5789287559264919100</id><published>2008-03-06T01:36:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2008-03-06T01:45:03.775+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Busy Busy BZZZZ!!!</title><content type='html'>Been super busy since after the CNY break.

Happy Chinese New Year!</title><content type='html'>GONG XI FA CAI! Wishing everyone of you a Happy Lunar New Year! And a Prosperous year of the Rat!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically I know I haven't been blogging often, but here I am! And so, somethings that happened the last few days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On monday I really had a stomach run, literally alot of fluids flowing out of me. I curse the Cafe's Carbonara. BLECK! Leaving me in pain and suffering in the evening. Feeling cold and chilly, ending up with a slight fever as well. And finally vomitting EVERYTHING since lunch at night. After that was feeling so much better. I am so thankful that I have a toilet in my room. If not, might have puked all over the corridor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On tuesday, the day before CNY Eve. I woke up late for class, and ended up skipping class in the end to go see doctor. Since it is free, might as well right. Waited for less than 30mins and got to saw the doctor. Prescribed me some meds for the stomach runs and vomitting. And it either works, or I was alright already. After seeing the doctor, seeing as there was nothing else to do, I went to Changi Airport early. And was lucky enough to get an earlier flight back home. Otherwise I would have to wait till 8pm. And that would mean nearly 6 - 7 hours more of waiting. Instead of the 2hours of waiting for the flight. Haha. Went back today which meant I would skip class on CNY Eve, but luckily classes canceled to another day so I get to go back for CNY Eve. And it was also because I have to be back for CNY Eve Reunion Dinner!!! And on the night itself... there was so much food, barely finished a quarter of it. Since my dad usually cooks alot! But the food was really great, always enjoy my dad's cooking. Well so far CNY has been alright, a usual schedule of going temple followed by grandma's hse for most part of the afternoon. And a usual gambling event with relatives, which isnt much of a big deal since not alot of people play. Maybe because still too early? Haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2nd day of Chinese New Year, got some guests come over. And etc. etc. And in the evening, dad had to go off to airport, he was going to Frankfurt for a Fair. So that was a bummer. Since I only get to see him for 2-3day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3rd day of CNY, my friends from HELP came over, as well as two old friends from FIS and HELP. Whee. Small reunion. Had lunch and talked abit. Then gambled till around 5pm. Started off with In-Between, followed by 21 and lastly Poker. Too bad Wai Kit and Shermaine had to leave earlier, so they didnt join us for the Poker. I learned how to play Poker, but dont know what type of Poker this is. It was fun. And since we didnt have chips, we ended up making our own. Using my old notebook paper. Haha. I guess I didnt lose in the end. Since I ended up putting more money back into my wallet. YaY!!! Anyway here is a picture of us in my room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R621R0Idz9I/AAAAAAAAAKE/JVFl3WoY5bU/s1600-h/CNY08.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R621R0Idz9I/AAAAAAAAAKE/JVFl3WoY5bU/s320/CNY08.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164983665320382418" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Top] Thiam Leong, Jim, Me, HL [Btm] WK, Rach, Gyn, Sher&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;So happy to get to meet up with them after nearly a year, too bad Carly, Alison, Mandy and YeeKae cannot make it. Miss them too, except for Carly and Alison, I will meet you two in NUS. Haha. After seeing them again, realise how much I miss them. And somemore Gynnete will be going to Aust tomorrow. Then dunno when can meet up with her again, maybe next year oni meet everyone again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And tomorrow, I go back to dreadful NUS. It is again time to concerntrate on studying.

Woo Hoo..</title><content type='html'>Okie what I am about to blog and what you are about to read is probably going to be a very long and lengthy post. Will have quite a number of pictures in it, but not covering everything. I didnt get much pictures with me in it because I either forgot or didnt bother. Anyway, will summarise the whole trip in a later blog. This post you will about to read is done throughout the trip, had actually intended to upload daily but no connection or it cost too much. So it accumulated and became this big. Haha. So my advice, take a break after every few "days", such as looking somewhere AWAY from your monitor =P, and maybe get some beverages while reading. Haha. BTW, more pictures to be uploaded later on as time goes by, we had 3 cameras, so waiting for pics from other cameras. So here goes, I now present to you, John's December Holiday Cruise Trip. **catchy title.. no?**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;13&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;-14&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Dec&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;All the time indicated is in Malaysia time. Abu Dhabi is -4 of Malaysia time, and Milan is -7 of Malaysia time.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Left my house around 5.30pm to go to the airport, with my aunt and sister. It was a pretty fast taxi ride I guess. Took about 30-40mins to reach, but got off at the wrong door, so had to walk quite awhile to reach the correct counter. And it was already starting to be a long queue to the ticket counter. Haih. So once got all the tickets and check-in settled, headed over to the boarding gate, C12. Boarded around 8.10pm, it was a 6hour flight from KLIA to Abu Dhabi. It was our first time taking Etihad Airway, the national airlines of UAE, and can say that it is quite a nice airline. Have always seen asian steward(ess), so this is the first time seeing non-asian steward(ess). So what did I do during the 6hour flight? Watch in-flight movies, No Reservations, abit of Garfield, and Eye in the Sky (a pretty interesting HK movie). Then we reached Abu Dhabi around 3am. Then had a 2hour wait in transit for the flight to Milan, on the same airways. The airport was PACKED! So many people, not enough place to sit, most of us ended up sitting on the floor. How .. “sad”…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kCik-_FrI/AAAAAAAAAFw/x_-8ochhI2A/s1600-h/IMG_1918.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kCik-_FrI/AAAAAAAAAFw/x_-8ochhI2A/s320/IMG_1918.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150150441941538482" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;In the plane, from KLIA to Abu Dhabi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3dh3k-_FMI/AAAAAAAAAB4/EsClZffa_wg/s1600-h/IMG_1350.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3dh3k-_FMI/AAAAAAAAAB4/EsClZffa_wg/s320/IMG_1350.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149692306370008258" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3di8U-_FNI/AAAAAAAAACA/ZdSJcbcDRBY/s1600-h/IMG_1351.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3di8U-_FNI/AAAAAAAAACA/ZdSJcbcDRBY/s320/IMG_1351.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149693487486014674" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Sitting around pictures...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Then at around 5am, we finally got to board the plane again, the same plane that we got off from. Haha, recycle airplane. However, this time we shifted 1 row forward. So from Abu Dhabi to Milan was another 6-7hour flight. This time, I ended up sleeping more than watch show and play. Was kinda cold at the starting. Brrr… Then after the “sleep” it was quite nice, not too cold or too warm. So reached Milan around 1 - 2pm, 14&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Dec.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kCjE-_FsI/AAAAAAAAAF4/qSBazi9FQrk/s1600-h/IMG_1939.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kCjE-_FsI/AAAAAAAAAF4/qSBazi9FQrk/s320/IMG_1939.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150150450531473090" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;In the plane from Abu Dhabi to Milan&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kCjE-_FtI/AAAAAAAAAGA/kDi5Dh2vM4s/s1600-h/IMG_1945.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kCjE-_FtI/AAAAAAAAAGA/kDi5Dh2vM4s/s320/IMG_1945.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150150450531473106" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;YAY!!! Reaching already, but why go so far out 1???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Then got to the immigration, which had only 2 counters, but it was fast, since no form needed also. Then luggage claim was also very fast. I like this airport. EFFICIENT! Unlike … Only sad thing was that we lost 2euros, due to the trolley. The trolley service used the coin system, you can choose to put 0.50, 1 or 2euros. Since we have 14 luggage (including wheelchair), and not counting the number of hand-carry luggage, we got 3 trolleys, using 2.50euros. However, when we wanted to get back the coins, 1euros was stuck in the coin slot, while another 1euros fell through the drain, and it looked like a very FAR drop. Haih, 1euro was mine. There was a coach waiting for us, to take us to Hotel Galles, 4-star, this took around 1hour for us to reach. At first it doesn’t look like much, but once entered, it doesn’t look so bad. The exterior just looks boring I guess. So here I am now waiting for nearly 2hours for the registration counter to pass us back our Passports. It is now 5pm (10am Milan) when I am typing this, and still waiting. Zzzz. Sienz ah.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;**Milan Time**&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;So after getting our passports, we went to find food to eat, don’t know for breakfast or lunch or brunch. At first walked out and noticed there was a Chinese steamboat restaurant, so due to majority vote, went over to eat there, note this is around 10am. Along the way, went pass a seafood “market-shop”, really clean and the workers all wear “lab coats”. They even had a swordfish on display, and I think it can be bought. The products were really fresh, no smell coming out from the shop. Also went pass a butcher, very different from Malaysia’s wet market. The meat here is really A LOT! All on display, so many chunks and piles. They even have the whole chunk of pig thigh hanging from the ceiling, not one or two, but MANY! And a lot of people were inside too. Anyway back to the Chinese restaurant, it was not open, supposedly restaurants can only open, earliest, at 11am. Majority of which opened at 12pm. Since there is a Burger King which we passed earlier, we thought of getting something to eat there, thinking it might actually be ready for business, but it wasn’t. Haih. So we just waited in there till 11am, and Jacobson got himself a Whopper Meal. Surprising order coming from a small kid. However, cafes selling coffee and “buns” can start business earlier than 11am. So before the BK, some of us had croissants. Anyway after BK, we went over to an Italian restaurant, hoping that it might start earlier. But they only start at 12pm. So it was a bummer, and we ended up going to the Chinese Steamboat, since they already start business. So after having steamboat, went back to the hotel and got our rooms. Room sure is small and cramped. But at the least it is quite tidy and clean. We (Jacq, Julz and myself) shared a room. The two of them to occupy the double bed, whilst I occupy add on single bed. My bed is just sad, it is next to the entrance, in front of the toilet door, next to the wall and beside the wardrobe. Luckily the mattress is not the very soft and “sinking” type. Good and hard mattress. Hehe. Just hope I don’t wake up and hit my head on the “ledge/shelf” above the bed. Anyway it is pretty boring now, and its only 2.45pm when I am typing this. Planning to go to the Italian restaurant for dinner later at 7pm. Nothing much to do but wait I guess. And I don’t feel tired, maybe i shouldn’t have drank the cappuccino earlier.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kCjU-_FuI/AAAAAAAAAGI/dI1GGEzxqnc/s1600-h/IMG_1961.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kCjU-_FuI/AAAAAAAAAGI/dI1GGEzxqnc/s320/IMG_1961.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150150454826440418" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;My bed at Hotel Galles, waiting so long for.... this... =.=&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kCjU-_FvI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/HH456bk4ZMI/s1600-h/IMG_1962.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kCjU-_FvI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/HH456bk4ZMI/s320/IMG_1962.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150150454826440434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;The other part of the room....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;However, we only ended up going for dinner at around 8pm. And here I was all hungry, ended up going so late because everyone was sleeping and sis wanted to shower 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;. And my mum needed to get something from our room, taking the lift is time consuming, because it takes very long to come up. So anyway at the Italian restaurant, I guess it can be said that we eat quite fast as well, or maybe because we only ordered a main course, while people would usually order appetizers, soups, and dessert. So I had veal with ham and cheese. Yum, but small. Swt. Luckily sis ordered pizza. Woohoo. Become fat boy =.= . And my aunt had a salad, ha ha, it is just green lettuce cut into pieces. LoL. And the vege is just taken from the display, really fresh I guess. Others had like spaghetti. The coolest thing about dinner was that on the way back, we went to an ice-cream café shop. LoL, you must be wondering, so cold and we still eating ice cream?!? However the main purpose was to buy bottled water because we need the bottles or else we won’t have anything to drink from. But I didn’t pass up the chance to buy ice cream, sorbet to be exact. Had Limone (lemon) sorbet. Hoho. And it sure was a lot, considering it looked like a small cup. Then came back shower and go sleep. SUPER TIRED! Had to suffer to prevent having jetlag, guess it was worth it in the long run. Hehe. Ciao. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;15&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Dec&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;**Chain hang low~~~ lala~~**that’s my alarm. Woke up to that at 7am, and got sis to be up and ready by 7.30am for breakfast at the café. Luckily the café is on the 6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; floor, same floor as our room. Name of the café, La Terrazza, where we will also have dinner, but don’t know what they offer for dinner. Breakfast was quite plain I guess. Not much choice of hot food, only scrambled eggs, bacon (which isn’t fried), and chopped sausages. The rest were either cold or just left there to be taken as they are, such as the ham and cheese being cold, whilst there was cereals, croissants and bread available, which could be toasted. But didn’t care about the quality because the hotel was actually provided free of charge when we chose to take Etihad Airways. So after breakfast, we went back to our rooms to get our jackets and other miscellaneous stuff before leaving. And of we went to go to San Babila, the area where the shops are all pretty much branded goods, and proven with the number of seriously high-end boutiques, such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Emporio Armani and etc. But it shouldn’t be a surprise since Milan is a fashion city. However, I seriously like the architecture here. Although the roads are narrow, the shops are closely facing each other doesn’t look as boring or cramp because the buildings are actually quite tall. And the design and patterns on all the buildings are different, with different sculptures and statues. And it could be seen that a lot were marble. Really fascinating, unlike in Malaysia. I guess seeing the same thing a lot of times will end up making anything different to look much nicer. So we went started off walking to San Babila, which was seriously torturous due to the extreme cold. I usually didn’t have this problem of facing cold weather, but today it just couldn’t stand it, my legs, hands and face were freezing. I thought wearing my dad’s overcoat would help keep the cold from reaching my legs, but they were not spared. Should have just stick with my earlier jacket, at least the pockets weren’t as low as the overcoat. Walking nearly halfway to San Babila, we encountered a slight problem. My dad was walking too fast, and my grandma couldn’t keep up with the pace, so we stopped to flag a cab to go straight to San Babila. We includes grandma, both aunts and myself. Seriously, it was just a short trip there, and I don’t want to say how much that cost us. Since it would be tiring for my grandma to continue walking with us, since we don’t know how long we would walk, she stayed at a café with 1 of my aunts. And the rest of us continued walking around the area. We walked quite mindlessly around the place =.=. Walked for quite awhile in the cold until we reached the back of a cathedral, only to walk back the way we came, in search of Louis Vuitton.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kEt0-_FwI/AAAAAAAAAGY/fcmopthNdr0/s1600-h/DSC08196.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kEt0-_FwI/AAAAAAAAAGY/fcmopthNdr0/s320/DSC08196.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150152834238322434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;If you look carefully, the statue at the top is actually a golden statue of Virgin Mary&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kEuE-_FxI/AAAAAAAAAGg/9_qwCLxcVEY/s1600-h/DSC08198.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kEuE-_FxI/AAAAAAAAAGg/9_qwCLxcVEY/s320/DSC08198.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150152838533289746" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Us at the back of the Cathedral...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ended up walking all the way to the start of San Babila, till we finally found out where it was. It was on a branching road, Via Monte Napoleone, I think Via means street in Italian. Anyway, once at LV, we had to queue up in the cold before entering. So COLD!!!! I regret taking the overcoat. Anyway, the inside was alright, quite a wide variety of bags but was surprised that LV also had shoes and clothes. Parents ended up buying stuff there, mum got a handbag, and dad got a pair of shoes. They also had belts and sunglasses for sale, I thought of getting a belt but afraid to discover what wonderful price is set for it. Then the next stop was Dior, to let my sis take a look. Too bad there wasn’t much variety. Followed by Gucci, which had a lot of variety, but I guess nobody was interested. Last shop we went to was Bally. Saw a pair of shoes that were really nice, but it turned out they didn’t have the size, bummer, but got another pair that was alright since they were really comfortable. But the first one would have been really REALLY nice. Quite stylish and not too old-fashioned. So ended up getting a pair of shoes for myself, and wallets for 2 of my uncles. After this, we went back to the hotel, my aunt and grandma had earlier taken a cab back instead of waiting for us, which I would say was a good idea, because they would have ended up waiting very long. And it would be crazily cold waiting out there for nearly 2 hours. So we headed back to the hotel using 3 taxis. Put our stuff and headed back out, on another 3 taxis, to a travel agency for a tour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kEuE-_FyI/AAAAAAAAAGo/du1orzqg_B0/s1600-h/DSC08212.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kEuE-_FyI/AAAAAAAAAGo/du1orzqg_B0/s320/DSC08212.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150152838533289762" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Our tour sticker&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It was a 3.5hour tour. We started off by going to a theatre (Theatre Alla Scalla) museum, a lot of paintings and head figurines, and old fashioned pianos. Then walked to a “shopping” area where all the signboards must be in black and gold. So imagine seeing McDonald, in black and gold instead of the red and yellow. Quite a nice architecture. Guess can consider this like Petaling street with more expensive shops, similar because of the roof they put up. After that, we walked to the cathedral that we saw earlier, this time to the front door. It is the third largest cathedral in the world, with a golden statue of the Virgin Mary as its highest peak, also the highest peak of Milan to date. After the cathedral, we walked back to the bus and went over to the fortress, but everyone was pretty much tired, so we didn’t get down to take pictures. The last stop was a place where Leonardo Da Vincci painted the Last Supper. I always thought it was painted on a canvas, but actually was on a wall in the building, really interesting once you get to see it up close, because there really is a lot of work done on it, to retouch it after getting bombed during WWII. And after this, went back to the hotel to have the worst dinner ever. Started off with a simple pasta dish, which was still alright. It was the next dish that destroyed everything. Was supposed to be roasted pork, told the waiter already too. However, when they served it, it was roasted beef. So had to redo it, but they changed it to roasted chicken. Changing the dish made it worst, at first the beef looked good, but then when they served the super dry super plain roast chicken, it was unbearable. No sauce whatsoever. Blek! And served with fried potatoes, so nothing to give some moisture. Worst thing was that it took so long to cook and serve that terrible dish. Really is the worst dinner to date. Anyway went to bed as soon as I finished shower. Super tired by time I went to sleep. Oinks~~&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kEuk-_FzI/AAAAAAAAAGw/cbytoNgCfDE/s1600-h/DSC08218.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kEuk-_FzI/AAAAAAAAAGw/cbytoNgCfDE/s320/DSC08218.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150152847123224370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Scala Theatre&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kFvk-_F5I/AAAAAAAAAHg/jlqI-a1Isig/s1600-h/IMG_2029.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kFvk-_F5I/AAAAAAAAAHg/jlqI-a1Isig/s320/IMG_2029.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150153963814721426" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Look!!!

Haha, piggy! Then had breakfast at the café again. This time there were more people because we went later. Food was more or less same as yesterday, except for the sausage. This time only bacon and scrambled eggs. So had the bacon, which IMO was too salty.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;So after breakfast, we spent nearly 1hour in our rooms just “resting”. And at 11am, we headed out, out for lunch. Crazy!~! We finished breakfast at 10am, and at 11am already going to have lunch. Siao betul. We went to “Lisa’s Chinese restaurant” again for lunch, steamboat again, but the taste of the soup wasn’t as nice as the other day. After lunch, we took 3 taxis to the same travel agency from yesterday, Zani Viaggi, where we were to take a double decker bus to Switzerland, where we would get to shop at Fox Town, a factory outlet store. So there were actually a lot of branded goods in that one shopping centre, and at a cheaper price than in Milan. However, we had to wait over an hour for the bus because we went too early, the bus would only be leaving at 2pm. So since we had an hour to spare, we walked inside the fortress to take a look. The inside was very open and spacious. Then at the back of it, on the outside, there was a really big park. Then we walked back to the agency, to continue waiting for the bus. Once on the bus, it was nearly an hour ride to Fox Town. And we were left to walk walk till 7pm. Half of us walked till 6pm, whilst another half just waited till the end since my grandma wasn’t up to all the walking. Went to Adidas, Nike, Esprit, Bally, and so on. I didn’t buy much this time, but my other family members really bought a lot of stuff this time. I wasn’t up to the shopping. I didn’t buy much this time because I knew it meant carrying more stuff. So didn’t buy much and didn’t want to spend too much today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kGOk-_F6I/AAAAAAAAAHo/V4s-M0Y1EFc/s1600-h/DSC08285.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kGOk-_F6I/AAAAAAAAAHo/V4s-M0Y1EFc/s320/DSC08285.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150154496390666146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Same fort from yesterday night&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kGO0-_F7I/AAAAAAAAAHw/y0JUMGZ0w48/s1600-h/DSC08289.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kGO0-_F7I/AAAAAAAAAHw/y0JUMGZ0w48/s320/DSC08289.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150154500685633458" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kGPE-_F8I/AAAAAAAAAH4/mV3OI0jm_wk/s1600-h/DSC08290.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kGPE-_F8I/AAAAAAAAAH4/mV3OI0jm_wk/s320/DSC08290.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150154504980600770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I have the tower in my hands!!!

In Lugano, Switzerland&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Then come 7pm, we got back on to the bus to go back to Milan. This time round, we had to stop to let the immigration to check our passports, wasn’t smooth sailing because we had some people who resulted in getting a longer check, so everyone ended up waiting for them before we can go back. So when we finally can go back, we travelled through the night, with a scenery of nice lights from houses and buildings dotting out the night. Hehe. And so once back didn’t do much, went for dinner at the Italian restaurant, only 5 of us. Others didn’t feel like eating. So after dinner, walked back, and went to shower, and now going to either sleep, or watch abit of TV. Tomorrow have to wake up early because we have to be ready by 9am to leave for the port. So ciao~&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;17&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Dec&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;CRAZY!!! Wake up at 6.15am. Zzzz~~~ tired! Had quite a hard time getting up, didn’t feel like it but then did so because afraid of time constraint. So got up, cleaned up, and did final packing to make sure everything was inside and packed. After that went to have a light breakfast, then took everything down to the reception area to wait for our coach ride to the port. Very punctual driver, with very punctual passengers. Hehe. We departed at exactly 9am, as scheduled on the booking. The destination, Port Crociere in Savona, which took slightly more than two hours to reach, because we drove along the mountain and there was snow the night before so he had to go slow. And it was also beside the sea, so it was super windy on the highway, luckily there were a lot of tunnels. I was sitting in the front so I can feel the wind really pushing on the coach. Haha. And couldn’t notice it affecting the lorries as well. So the driver said he had to take it slowly. But I didn’t mind because the scenery was actually quite nice, especially seeing the snow on the fields and mountains and on the trees, also scenery of the sea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3di8U-_FOI/AAAAAAAAACI/o7V8xOmgjA8/s1600-h/IMG_1352.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3di8U-_FOI/AAAAAAAAACI/o7V8xOmgjA8/s320/IMG_1352.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149693487486014690" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3di8k-_FPI/AAAAAAAAACQ/WwF-N-3adC0/s1600-h/IMG_1353.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3di8k-_FPI/AAAAAAAAACQ/WwF-N-3adC0/s320/IMG_1353.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149693491780982002" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3di8k-_FQI/AAAAAAAAACY/8Zb8WkbrIGg/s1600-h/IMG_1354.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3di8k-_FQI/AAAAAAAAACY/8Zb8WkbrIGg/s320/IMG_1354.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149693491780982018" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3di80-_FRI/AAAAAAAAACg/TiMf6UAo37o/s1600-h/IMG_1357.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3di80-_FRI/AAAAAAAAACg/TiMf6UAo37o/s320/IMG_1357.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149693496075949330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;**&lt;/span&gt;Sorry for the poor photography with the reflection**&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Once at the port, it was super cold and windy already, just standing out there awhile and my fingers were already numb! COLD! And I also had to tag the bags, so exposure to the wind was lengthen. Could barely feel my fingers at the end, face was also affected. Haih. Luckily we could go inside to wait for embarkation. Everyone got a certain number which indicates the batch of people that will be boarding when that number is called for. So we got 6. Which meant boarding only at 12 or 1pm. So when it came time for us to board, the procedure was tedious. We first had our passport checked for visa, and the personnel took back the number. Took quite awhile to check our visas because dad is Singaporean so they actually don’t need visa to a lot of places. But she didn’t believe, so wasted time there for her to check with others or whoever. Then once that is done, where she took the numbers, there was a X-ray scan for hand carry baggage and body scan. After that, then only did they really check our visas. And also checked against a passenger list. This also got problem, because we weren’t on the list so they needed to write down our names by hand, which took some time again. After that, got the first photo from the cruise, all 12 of us with 2 other attendants holding the donut life saving gear. Then we had one final check where we had to hand up our passports to the authorities, for safekeeping and we won’t be using it for the voyage for identification.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3dp8U-_FSI/AAAAAAAAACo/XPbLhDv1oy4/s1600-h/IMG_1370.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3dp8U-_FSI/AAAAAAAAACo/XPbLhDv1oy4/s320/IMG_1370.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149701184067409186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3dp8k-_FTI/AAAAAAAAACw/YWZuC7bQgr4/s1600-h/IMG_1372.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3dp8k-_FTI/AAAAAAAAACw/YWZuC7bQgr4/s320/IMG_1372.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149701188362376498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;The Port we are heading to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3dp80-_FUI/AAAAAAAAAC4/tRtwsg7EQU4/s1600-h/IMG_1374.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3dp80-_FUI/AAAAAAAAAC4/tRtwsg7EQU4/s320/IMG_1374.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149701192657343810" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;The Cruise Terminal at Savona, with the Costa Serena at the back&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Once that was done, we finally got to go into the cruise!~! Hehe. Our rooms (cabins) were on the 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; floor (deck), out of 12 decks. So we were actually quite high up. And our room also has its own balcony. This time my roommates are my brother and an aunt. Haha. And I am sleeping on the single bed again. It isn’t exactly very cramped, but I guess it would be just nice, bigger than my room in NUS, so big enough I would say. Haha. However, before we went into our room, we went up to the buffet restaurant for lunch for two reasons, 1) room wasn’t ready and 2) we haven’t had lunch yet. Haha. Once in our rooms, we got this credit card sized cards that would be our room key, identification card, mode of payment (like a credit card) and, still yet to find out other uses of the card.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3dp9E-_FVI/AAAAAAAAADA/GjhfDr-ovWM/s1600-h/IMG_1376.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;At around 5pm, there was a General Emergency Drill where everyone was to participate to get accustomed to the evacuation procedure. Took nearly 30mins on the outer deck, super cold winds. Luckily the place where we had to stand didn’t have After the short tour, went to watch the show at the Theatre, which was at the front of the ship. Super nice, it showed a variety of things, to give us a sample of what they have to offer during the trip. Had very nice laser shows as well. Can’t wait to watch again. This time will try to take more pictures.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;After the show, went to pickup my grandma and an aunt from their room and lead them to the restaurant for dinner. However, the time was already 9pm by the time we had dinner. This would actually be considered supper to us. Haha. But then we were allocated the time, which is for everyday, so we cant do anything about it. Dinner was alright, it was not a single course meal, there was appetizer, soup, salad, pasta, main course, cheese and dessert. However, I only had appetizer, soup, main course and dessert. Which is actually still alot, haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;18&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Dec&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This time didn’t have to wake up so early, I think I woke up on my own today. However, I was the last to wake up. Actually being last isn’t that good, because people would be in the toilet and end up having to wait. Zzz. Especially if both roommates plan to shower in the morning. =.= So once I got my chance and finished brushing up and getting dressed, went for breakfast on the ninth floor, so many people!!! Lucky could find place to sit. Explored a bit of the ship with my 2 sisters, then went we all went for lunch at the ninth floor again, but this time we had a hard time finding seats, we ended up having to split up, I ended up with my 2 sisters. And I also didn’t eat much, only ate ice cream and some pasta. Good thing I had a heavy breakfast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3drQU-_FYI/AAAAAAAAADY/FEk7Gm6ZxI4/s1600-h/IMG_1401.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3drQU-_FYI/AAAAAAAAADY/FEk7Gm6ZxI4/s320/IMG_1401.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149702627176420738" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Waiting for the excursion to start.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;And after lunch, off the cruise and into Barcelona!!! Whee~~~ All the excursions we left it to my sis to plan so for Barcelona, we went to the FOOTBALL STADIUM! Hehe. Took a pic or two with some of the players as well. We sure were lucky! And now Thierry is also in Barcelona. So got a picture with him as well. Hehe. And my grandma also wanted to join in the action! At the end of the tour, there was a tourist shop where we could buy jerseys and other football or BFC souvenirs and merchandise. Didn’t have much time for that and didn’t know what to buy, so ended up getting back on the bus before it was too late, scheduled time to depart was 4.30pm, but ended up leaving around 10-15min later. After the stadium tour and museum, we didn’t do much more except for travelling around the city, with the guide highlighting the history and architecture of the houses and buildings in Barcelona. Then headed back to the ship, this process took awhile because everyone had to queue up and go through security checks and body scans. But my grandma had it easy, because she was on her wheelchair, express lane created! Haha. Then when back on board, we got to have dinner earlier, the first seating instead of the second seating. This meant dinner at 6.30pm instead of 9pm. Woo Hoo. Better than waiting so long with nothing to do till dinner. Dinner was alright, just didn’t expect my main dish to be so dry. =.= After dinner, parents and my sister’s godparents went to see the casino, and I being of age, tagged along to take a look. My first time getting to go and watch in a casino! Last time, I only could walk past and through it. Haha. Well, pretty much that’s all for today, didn’t go to watch the entertainment show onboard though.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3drQk-_FZI/AAAAAAAAADg/D02mxPe6cH0/s1600-h/IMG_1413.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3drQk-_FZI/AAAAAAAAADg/D02mxPe6cH0/s320/IMG_1413.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149702631471388050" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;10min stop to take pictures at a hilltop in Barcelona&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kHQ0-_GCI/AAAAAAAAAIo/llCcO1k-zOo/s1600-h/IMG_2144.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kHQ0-_GCI/AAAAAAAAAIo/llCcO1k-zOo/s320/IMG_2144.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150155634556999714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The whole family with Barcelona behind us..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3drQ0-_FaI/AAAAAAAAADo/kv4FSTVDSf8/s1600-h/IMG_1417.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3drQ0-_FaI/AAAAAAAAADo/kv4FSTVDSf8/s320/IMG_1417.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149702635766355362" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;   The City of Barcelona..

Okie, maybe not very but it was boring. We didn’t do much because today is meant for staying on board, no stops at any port, a day at sea. So this meant we had to do whatever that was offered by the cruise, but the problem is we didn’t join in any of the organized activities. Hence, resulting in boredom. Basically woke up in the morning, then went for breakfast, then went back to the room for a bit before leading the way to the Medical Centre where bro and sis went to get a check, because sis wasn’t feeling so well and bro had skin problems. After that went up to the fifth floor, and dad went casino whilst I brought my siblings to the arcade, after playing a short while, they eventually went back to the room, while I went to watch the others gamble at the casino. Three card poker, easy and interesting game. It is fast. After watching for quite a while, I went back to the room to get siblings for lunch, they were sleeping, we all then met up at the restaurant, went for lunch at Restaurant Ceres, the other dining restaurant. After lunch, it was back to the casino for the adults while the room for the others. Even my grandma plays, she plays the slots only though. Watching for a short while, I got bored and went back room to find siblings. Then we watched ordered to watch a movie, since we were bored, and got the A-Ok. Haha. We watched Blades Of Glory. And after the show, went back to my room and slept till dinner. Today’s dinner was special, it was the Gala Dinner. Everybody was dressed quite nice and formal, except for us and a few other people. But overall, dinner was dinner. However, I particularly enjoyed the dessert, where I had soufflé. Never had one before, quite nice I guess. It is like a cake and pudding mix. And so that is about it, came back from dinner, shower and now going to sleep~ … if possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kH4E-_GEI/AAAAAAAAAI4/wNPfNNG-LHo/s1600-h/IMG_2219.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kH4E-_GEI/AAAAAAAAAI4/wNPfNNG-LHo/s320/IMG_2219.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150156308866865218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Our 1st Sea Day.. super cold on the open deck!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Dec&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Welcome to CASABLANCA! Lol, nothing big about this city, I guess it is actually developing right now. So we moored at the port at around 7am I think, but only disembarked at around 8.30am. Between that time, we had breakfast, and just waited at the Luna Lounge. So upon disembarking, we went over to board our bus, Bus 27, 27 is also our group number. A lot of elderly people in our group this time, who are older than my parents.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;First stop in Casablanca, “Rick’s Café” supposedly the café where the movie “Casablanca” was filmed. Anyway didn’t get off there, it was just a place to take pictures. After that, we went to the third largest mosque in the world. Seriously, this really is very big. Can occupy 30,000 people inside the mosque, with an extra 70,000 people at the outside of the mosque where there is a very big open space. And the mosque is actually built on top of the sea. The mosque is even going to open a sauna and spa under the mosque, which is really cool. Went and took a look, the water was so still, it looked like it was glass. Haha. It isn’t open to the public yet, but it will be and it is huge. After the mosque went to the largest church in Casablanca. Also didn’t get off because it was just a stop to take pictures. After that, went to a shopping area for Moroccan handicrafts, nothing particularly nice or interesting so got back on the bus, and went to a food market, didn’t get off here as well because didn’t know what to buy as well. And so after the food market came back to the ship, where we had our lunch. And after lunch, went back to parent’s room where we watched “Wild Hogs”. Pretty much boring stop, but at least I can say I was here. Haha. Actually nothing much in Casablanca, the city is actually quite dusty. Not exactly a clean city and the sea next to it is actually very strong, the waves are really strong on the coast. Especially near the mosque. Really scary on what would happen if the tides suddenly rise by a lot or in a worst case scenario, a tsunami in this area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3d1VE-_FoI/AAAAAAAAAFY/1MpJTwOYK5Q/s1600-h/IMG_1509.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3d1VE-_FoI/AAAAAAAAAFY/1MpJTwOYK5Q/s320/IMG_1509.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149713703897077378" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Me and The Mosque at the back&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3d1U0-_FnI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/DjfYZgEwuC0/s1600-h/IMG_1498.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3d1U0-_FnI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/DjfYZgEwuC0/s320/IMG_1498.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149713699602110066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Walking to the Male Spa area&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3dzRU-_FlI/AAAAAAAAAFA/rRivXoh372U/s1600-h/IMG_1504.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3dzRU-_FlI/AAAAAAAAAFA/rRivXoh372U/s320/IMG_1504.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149711440449312338" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The HUGE Spa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3dzRE-_FkI/AAAAAAAAAE4/ck7h9io8-9Q/s1600-h/IMG_1476.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3dzRE-_FkI/AAAAAAAAAE4/ck7h9io8-9Q/s320/IMG_1476.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149711436154345026" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The  inside of the Mosque&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3d1UU-_FmI/AAAAAAAAAFI/c1vITmZPx2E/s1600-h/IMG_1506.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3d1UU-_FmI/AAAAAAAAAFI/c1vITmZPx2E/s320/IMG_1506.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149713691012175458" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Candid shot while leaving the Mosque&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3d1VU-_FpI/AAAAAAAAAFg/5iMr-kypUDE/s1600-h/IMG_1540.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3d1VU-_FpI/AAAAAAAAAFg/5iMr-kypUDE/s320/IMG_1540.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149713708192044690" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;The largest Churh in Casablanca&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Didn’t do much in the evening, went casino to watch parents play after dinner and after we have left the port of Casablanca. Watched they basically played Three Card Poker and the Slot machines. I just stood by watching them play. To sort of give them pressure to go back earlier, didn’t work though, ended up going back at nearly 2am. Went back, showered and just Oinkz! &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;21&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; Dec&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Yo Ho Ho, I am a pirate! Arr~~~ Lol as if. Just said that because today was another day at sea. So ended up waking up later than usual, but just in time to have breakfast, however it is not like I am missing out on anything. Breakfast is the same as it has been since we left Savona. Boring!, but it is just breakfast, so I guess have to just cope, it is still food~ still food~~ The sea is very rough this time, since we are now out in the Atlantic Ocean. So the ship is really swaying side by side, surprising if you considered how big the ship is. Juliana, Jessebel and Jacq’s godmother succumbed to seasickness first, followed by my dad later in the afternoon. After breakfast, went to watch them gamble at the casino once again. And after watching for so long, went to have lunch. Then after lunch went to the information counter to rent a deck of cards to play with siblings and sister’s godfather. He sure is pro! We played Tai Ti for since awhile after lunch till around 5.30pm. He won over 70% of the games I would say. He can advice us on a lot on a lot of what we did wrong that makes it obvious to see what type of cards we holding. We played at the Cards Room, “Sala Carte”, seated beside the window so could see the ocean waves and emptiness. Even my mom joined in to play Tai Ti, she is a newbie to it but she could pick it up easily. Haha, got more kaki next time. Anyway there was a Bingo event just next to us so that made it really noisy and crowded. Sure was exciting to see the numbers being pushed down and hoping for a number. Haha, cheering for another’s victory. Can do so because I didn’t play, haha.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;After that, we went to have dinner at Vesta again, this time the people were dressed differently, do not know why. After dinner, went to the arcade with siblings, except for Jacq. Played for quite awhile and then sent them up to parent’s room, where they continued to play UNO. I then proceeded down to the casino to watch parents gamble, I actually ended up playing 3-5 rounds of Three Card Poker, because Jacq’s godfather went to the toilet. So I helped to look at his cards. We didn’t stay long, because dad promised to go up earlier, but ended up being a tad bit later. So we went back to our rooms at around 10.30pm. And after showering, here I am “blogging”. Now I shall go to sleep, as tomorrow, I shall arrive at Santa Cruz De Tenerife, where we will disembark for a tour and I need to wake up early. Adios~&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;22&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; Dec&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Welcome to Tenerife, part of an archipelago that is under Spain. It is quite a developed and clean city/town and island, unlike Casablanca. Upon getting our numbers, (group 6), we boarded the bus and took quite a long bus ride to “Loro Parque” aka Parrot Park. It is actually more of a zoo than it is a park. It is just a pity that we can are off board for 4-5hours, minus the travelling and dis/embarkation time, leaves us with barely 4 hours to explore the park. The park had a Thai theme to its architecture and entrance. It looked really nice and unique. Once inside, there was a Koi Pond with a bridge over it where we used to continue on with the park. There was a photo session with 2 parrots, I forgot to go get that picture from the shop!!! I wanted to have a copy since it had our whole family in it. Haih. Forgone opportunity. After that went to see some gorillas in an open enclosure, never seen them so close before. Followed by a visit to a building where there were PENGUINS!!! Hehe. And puffins. And a giant fish tank. Gives you the impression that you are actually scuba diving under or with the fishes next to you. Haha. Even had a small shark, and there was a penguin that just swam near the shark, I guess it’s a tame shark. Haha. Then we went to watch a Sea Lion performance, followed by a Dolphin performance and lastly an Orca (Killer Whale) Performance. The Orca performance was cool because there were splash zones where audiences would get REALLY wet from the intentional splashing by the Orcas. Sea Lion show was cute because of the biggest doing funny things and the way it clapped was very chuan like that. Haha. Dolphin show is quite normal I guess, kinda seen most of the tricks before. But watching it was fun. The only bad thing about this was that taking pictures was difficult because I would snap the shot early, and missing out on better “poses”. After the shows, we headed back to the bus because we don’t have enough time scheduled for us, and therefore forgetting to get the photo shot from earlier.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kH4E-_GFI/AAAAAAAAAJA/JSSDFYlREDw/s1600-h/DSC08517.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kH4E-_GFI/AAAAAAAAAJA/JSSDFYlREDw/s320/DSC08517.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150156308866865234" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;The entrance sign to Loro Parque&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kH4U-_GHI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/dZ_0YU60NpM/s1600-h/DSC08522.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kH4U-_GHI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/dZ_0YU60NpM/s320/DSC08522.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150156313161832562" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The entrance ticket, I think it is recycled.

WHEEE~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Once back on the ship, we had lunch and just stayed in the ship, then wasted time doing don’t know what. However in the evening, went to play BINGO! Haih, so close to win yet couldn’t. Close because the winner was just in front of us, and just needed 2 more numbers. After that went to watch Circus show at the theatre, really good, and have to respect them because the ship was really turbulent and the acrobat could still balance during his acts.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;23&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; Dec&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Today we reach Funchal, kind of hard and tricky to pronounce this, but just got to know that it is actually the Canary Islands. And it is known as the Madeira Archipelago, which is part of Portugal. So once again it was a early morning docking at the port, leading to waking up early, AGAIN! So sleepy, and I had again slept late the night before, or more specifically in the morning earlier. Not much to do here, majority was just sitting on the bus to go to high parts of the island, looking at scenery and such. But there was one particular spot that was nice to be at, which was at the top of the sea cliff. Practically a vertical side and looking down, you see the beach and waves and sea. Overall, the scenery was nice, and it was cooling. Not too cold. The ocean scenery was the best, because of the sun beam, sunset and sunrise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kH4k-_GII/AAAAAAAAAJY/pMScktPoH6A/s1600-h/DSC08608.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kH4k-_GII/AAAAAAAAAJY/pMScktPoH6A/s320/DSC08608.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150156317456799874" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Example of the AWESOME view of Funchal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;After 3-4 spots, we headed to our last stop, which was a souvenir shop. The specialty of this region is supposedly its embroidery. Madeira Embroidery. And the price really makes it seem like they are really high end stuff. However, I don’t have much interest in those so I didn’t bother much. Madeira actually also produces wine, and there were countless number of vineyards all over the hill sides while going around in the bus. So at the souvenir shop, there was wine tasting, and not letting this opportunity go to waste, I went ahead and took a sip or two. Hehe. Gave my dad a taste as well, followed by Jacq. Dad ended up buying a bottle of wine, whilst I got a miniature set of wine bottles with wine. Haha. Just for fun I guess.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Further down the street there was a shopping mall, and actually most of the family went there, so we then went there to find them, they bought quite a number of food items, for snacking though. And then it was back to the ship again and not doing much back on the ship, except at around 3-4pm I went to try the gym. Then at night after dinner, went to watch another acrobatic show, different from the day before. The acrobats were Fran, Robin and Bo~ Hehe last name kind of gives viewers the impression of a cutesy type of person, however the associated acrobat was kind of buff to be called cute.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kIYE-_GJI/AAAAAAAAAJg/oAhLHZuZDb0/s1600-h/DSC08634.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kIYE-_GJI/AAAAAAAAAJg/oAhLHZuZDb0/s320/DSC08634.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150156858622679186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;New line from Benetton =P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;24&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Dec&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Another day at sea, and it is starting to get boring. Same routine for all sea days, go breakfast, lepak around on the boat, go for lunch at buffet. After lunch, it is either go walking around again, playing cards, watching English movies dubbed in Italian, going to the casino to watch, or going back to the room and just sleep, watch a movie on laptop or play games. And after that at around 6.30pm we would go for dinner at the assigned restaurant. And again do pretty much nothing, kind boring when it is a sea day, initially it was ok, but as it gets more frequent, it’s really boring.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;However during sea days, we would go and borrow a deck of cards to play tai di with. So played with my sister’s godfather, and he really is pro! And he will always give chance and advice and teach us more things to look out for. Learned a lot and also got our hands left standing for display on in our grasps a lot too. Haha.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;25&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Dec&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Well not exactly that merry for me since I don’t celebrate, and we very rarely exchange presents, so nothing big for us. However, today is merry because it ISN’T a sea day, today we get off at Malaga, Spain. The birthplace of Pablo Picasso, Ooooo~~~ LoL, nothing interesting also, because it was just a building that we only saw from the outside. Furthermore it was raining earlier so the weather is colder today. It’s been getting colder since we are sailing back north since Tenerife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here is what went on at Malaga, after the usual early morning breakfast and disembarkation. We got onto the tour bus and it was quite full. Our trip is called a “Panoramic tour of Malaga”. Which actually should be called “Sit-on-bus-for-half-the-tour view of Malaga”, since we actually did stay on the bus just going around the place and looking at basically nothing all that fascinating. I just know we went on a highway to go somewhere and went back and then went to a castle where we could have gotten off to look at if it wasn’t Christmas. So after the “stop” at the castle, went to a square just next to Picasso’s birthplace, which was his playground back then apparently. And from there we did a walking tour. Oh goodness, this was just as boring, hardly anything to see, except for a cathedral that was quite fascinating. Everything else was closed, since it was Christmas. Bummer. Even most of the cafés were closed. And worst of all, we had to wait in the cold for over an hour till the bus is ready to take us back to the ship. Luckily we are further south than we are north, so the cold was actually bearable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kIYU-_GKI/AAAAAAAAAJo/NbjnsVPmwaE/s1600-h/DSC08677.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kIYU-_GKI/AAAAAAAAAJo/NbjnsVPmwaE/s320/DSC08677.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150156862917646498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Am I shaking hands or groping a dove's rear end? =S&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Once back on the ship, we had lunch while the ship was departing from the port, which meant that everyone had to be back on board by 1.00pm to be safe. This lead to a long queue when trying to get back on the ship, really very grateful that it wasn’t too cold. Then didn’t do much again during the afternoon until after having dinner, which was a special dinner with some sparkler fireworks, ice cream cake and FREE (cheap) champagne for everyone, and I mean everyone, even my brother and sisters. Haha. Then we went to watch the show at night, titled “Mythology”. There was Poseidon and so on, too bad the pictures couldn’t be that fantastic, it was too dark and I was sitting too far above. Basically a lot of dancing and singing, with 1 really handsome dancer if I would say so myself, he has such a captivating smile, white teeth, and a wide D-shaped smile. And doesn’t look like a fake type of smile. And only on the last day could see him up close, since he was waving bye to everyone, and he is tall! Anyway, Christmas on the ship was really exciting, there was even a Santa that came down from the panoramic elevator to the lounge reception area to give gifts to children. Jacobson couldn’t get a present due to all the adults blocking such a small kid like him from making it to the queue. So, we only ended up watching some of it from the upper levels.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;26&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Dec&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The last day at sea, and we will be back in Savona the next day to go to Milan for our last night in Italy. And again a sea day doesn’t mean much to me anymore as it is really boring, and due to the lack of choice in the arcade, it gets really boring and repetitive. And so I will just skip this day as it is actually the last day. However, I did end up buying a few decks of actually Casino Grade Playing cards. Really different feeling. Too bad they had to “deface” it slightly at the sides. So the cards now have to slight cut out curves along both lengths.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kIYU-_GLI/AAAAAAAAAJw/8_T0W5eD_QU/s1600-h/IMG_2320.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/R3kIYU-_GLI/AAAAAAAAAJw/8_T0W5eD_QU/s320/IMG_2320.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150156862917646514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;CHEERS~~~ to an overall fine cruise trip&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;27&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Dec&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;SAVONA!!! LAND AHOY!!! Disembarkation wasn’t as terrible as one would expect. Quite quick if I would say so myself, getting our luggage was also very quick, since they had the whole night to get it from outside our rooms and make it ready for us for pickup. And the better part of it was, Savona wasn’t as cold as it had been during embarkation. And getting our ride back was also quick, because he was just waiting outside. However, the smoothness stops there, because the way out of the port is jammed packed with cars. And so we were crawling to the exit. And the sun was blazing in on us, and I had to sit in front again. Then once back on the open road, fell asleep and woke up to FOG! Never have I seen fog in such extremity. It was really thick, visibility was probably barely 100m. However it keeps lifting and coming back, so that was kind of freaky. Especially when going in to a tunnel from the fog, and emerging with clear vision, before being blurred by fog again.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;And our destination was Hotel Oleggio, near Malpensa Airport. It is probably quite ironic, but this 3-star hotel beats the 4-star Hotel Galles, the first hotel in Milan. Why? Because this hotel actually has free internet service in the rooms, although the rooms are a little bit shady and dull. But internet! After so long!!! There is even a computer near the reception that is available for free usage. Woo Hoo! However, couldn’t stay online long, didn’t have a good adapter that would keep the power plug plugged in to the socket. Not much to do here though, quite a quiet neighborhood. And had to get up ready for departure tomorrow anyway, so didn’t do much things. And headed for bed after a pizza dinner.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;28&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Dec&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The last day of our trip, and we actually met someone we don’t know, but we met them in the cruise, they were also heading back to KL. Same flight as us, Milan to Abu Dhabi, 5hours transit, Abu Dhabi to&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;KL. The good thing was we got confirmed seats so we didn’t have to sit so far back for the second part of the journey. Unlike them, where they sat at the rear deck, don’t know how far back though.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Abu Dhabi airport is not a good place to have such a long transit. It is small and cramped, not enough seats, only 2 restaurants, and both have smokers when there is not suppose to be any smoking in the terminal except at the smoking lounges.&lt;/p&gt;  Anyway after the wait, it was around 2-3am Abu Dhabi time till we finally went boarded the plane for another 6hour plane ride. This time it wasnt that nice, because the inflight entertainment system had to screw up, ending up with me having a white screen and nothing to do except to doze off and sleep. Ended up sleeping for quite a while, waking up in time for "lunch".  And it is now the 29th. Boring, traveling for nearly 18hours, due to transit. Maybe more due to the drive back home and waiting for luggage, which was nearly 30mins. Stupid KLIA system. So slow processing. Inefficient! ARGH! Luckily our ride back was our own and so they were more punctual. My uncle and one of the warehouse staff picked us up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reaching back home really feels good. However, now have to face all the unpacking and the accumulated laundy.

However its only the 1st half. Means got the same amount after the break and to top the end, the Finals. And now let me attempt to recollect what has been going on since my super uber long ago post. So lets start my story in a long forgotten land of NUS.. LoL.. Just joking.. Such a sad way to start.. but honestly.. thats where it would be starting I guess.. Hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So actually after coming back to NUS b4 semester started, MSL had a steamboat/BBQ at Marina Bay area. Same as last year, but different restaurant. Went early to get a nice table, but ended up being pushed to the back =.= Zzzz.. Wasted effort. But never mind about that already. The food was alright. Was much better that last year, where hardly got to eat anything last year since didnt look that cooked previously. This time, ate super alot. Had alot of prawns as well, since a few tables didnt know how to put the prawns in and make it stay inside instead of jumping out. LoL. Our 1st prawn jumped itself right out of the tupperware and onto the floor. After that, was more cautious already. There was alot of us, I think close to 18 tables of MSL-ians. Each consisting of 8 ppl i think. MSL Gang... of friendly people.. =P Didnt have any fireworks this year since the government postponing it to a later date, which constitutes to us leaving early for the MRT station to catch the train before they go off service. And took a bus nearby, to save walking time. Met Biz Freshies at the busstop, while they were waiting for bus to go meet us. Too bad they came late. Poor thing for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the steamboat, didn't have much things going, until MSL Sports day, where NTU MSA joined in and participate. However, I didn't get to join as I was accecpted into CBLC, Computer Based Learning Center. Had the interview, and actually thought I wouldnt get in. I guess I was lucky. So during MSL Sports Day, I had CBLC Orientation. Which lasted nearly the whole day, making me miss nearly all the sport events except for the final matches for basketball. Missed the very much anticipated badminton match. :( Disappointed at missing that. Well about the CBLC orientation, there were games as well as a briefing on what to expect while on duty, also had a "test" on whether we know the procedures to follow while on duty. Just for us to get to know the things properly. Erm, pretty much about it. There wasn't much of anything else during that day, other than MSL winning all sports events. Paiseh for NTU. We had numbers in participants due to home ground I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next was Merdeka night. Where everyone were to form groups and produce a dish to share with everyone. We even had AMCISCA and NTU MSA to join us that night. Just too bad that most of the groups came down late =.= over 2hours to be exact. So after 2 hours only officially started, and it had rained, so sadly one of the games, the treasure hunt that I had organised, had to be taken out. Which I would have thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone go here and there trying to find something so small in such a big group. haha. Anyway too bad about that but looking on the bright side, we had impromptu sketches, where each group would have to perform a story written by a randomly choosen group. So everyone would just act out as well as they can. The best being Snow White and Cinderella. Hahaha. Those freshies sure are creative. AND SUPER FUNNY!!! Haha. Well the food was great, just that alot people so took awhile to get food. Just felt sorry for AMCISCA to come on time and meaning they had to wait quite long. So sorry AMCISCA! Then after the sketches had Limbo! And then there were PRIZES for best food, best sketch, best actor and actress (senior and freshies) and lastly, the limbo king/queen, which was actually a king. hehe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, between all this events, have been really busy, now that I am taking 6 modules. 2 being assignment intensive. Especially ES2002, Business communication, and BSP2001, Macroeconomics. This too taking up the most of my time in doing assignments. Then there is Finance, where I am majoring, meaning have to put in alot of effort in order to score, which I hope I can do so. Then there is also Management Science, which is kind of fun in the sense that I can use excel to do the assignments =P and more of a maths module. So its something I like. So thats my core modules. For my other 2 modules, I am doing a pretty fun history story telling module of Singapore Society, mostly its historical events. Only con to this module is that there is alot of readings to do, well it is recommended to do them =P Then the last module, Chinese 2. Continuing on from Chinese 1. Hopefully this will help me improve my mandarin. Now all I need to do is converse in Mandarin more frequently which I am hesitant to do so. As I quite often end up speaking english again. =.= Then as earlier said, I am now in CBLC, meaning weekly 2 hour duty and events that are organised that requires me to attend as well as meetings and training camps. Also have to do some marketing. So with this six modules and 1 CCA, I hope I didnt make a mistake in increasing my workload to cause me to pull my CAP down :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So during this break, will not be all relax. Will probably be 80% study and 20% relax. Relax including 10% of sleeping I guess. So a remainder of 10% for playing. Which I guess would constitute to 2hours a day only? Unless I forgo sleep. Furthermore I also went back home for 2-3days for the Mid-Autumn Festival, went home Monday, had family dinner on Tuesday, came back Wednesday (Today). Haih... Rush betul, but no choice. Study  materials are mostly in my room. Only studied Econs at home. Which I am thankful I did so. Since not very free ady.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whee. Such a nice Mid-Sem Break!~!~! =P Haha.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-2307984361658296799?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/2307984361658296799/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=2307984361658296799' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/2307984361658296799'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/2307984361658296799'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/09/mid-sem-break-yay.html' title='MID-SEM BREAK!!! .. yay?'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-4518305803464235701</id><published>2007-08-04T20:43:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-08-04T21:15:58.579+08:00</updated><title type='text'>"2nd" Holiday... =P</title><content type='html'>Actually I have been back for nearly 1 and a half week/weeks(not so sure about the grammar for this), after UFO2 and after having recovered significantly to travel more. Took a bus back to KL from Singapore, my 1st time ever, took train once but that was long ago. Anyway, was a 5hour journey and only stopped once along the way, not counting the immigration checkpoints. And what greets me once I enter KL area, specifically Jalan Tun Razak, is the traffic jam. I can't remember the last time I was stuck here, since I hardly drive this way whenever I drive, and since I am also studying in NUS. Luckily it wasn't one of those crawler traffics jams. Phew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haven't been doing much since I got back, much meaning anything that is productive or interesting, since parents were actually on a business trip for a week, and only came back the week after I came back. So didn't have ANY outings for that past week. And didn't need any since I don't have much to do also. However once parents came back, which was actually around 10.30pm, got some presents! Yippee! However My "Yippee" ends there whilst my other siblings have more "e"s  in them, since there presents were more to their liking. Only thing that actually gave me a "Yippee" is the new necktie I got, only had 1 which is mine. And this necktie actually was from my dad's cufflinks set, so not exactly my present. More of me snatching the necktie for myself =P Hehe. Then the next day went out to have lunch with my sister's godfather, too bad she was in college, the food was good! There was shark meat, the texture is abit rubbery but also abit like chicken. Anyway I was stuffed at the end of that meal. And without time to recover to a hungry state, had a light dinner with supper topping it off in less than 2hours. So I was immensely stuffed, didn't feel that good that night. I think I need to get some exercise after eating so much. Haih. However, something unproductive that I have been doing is finding games that are free. =P And by golly, did I hit the jackpot. Hehe. So many variety, all new releases too. So been engrossed in some for the last few days. Too bad semester starting soon, which means I have to stop getting more and more games. Haha. The good thing about coming back this time is that I got myself a nice laptop fan. Provides good inclination and its cooling effect.

So since coming back from KL, after my last post, been really busy with meetings and preparations for UFO2, and the actual UFO2 which was even more tiring, as well as getting my stuff from storage and unpacking all on my own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two injuries I sustained that I said from my previous post has finally healed. Actually healed quite nicely too. Well I have finally finished unpacking my stuff after nearly a week, I have just been so lazy to unpack. But once I got into it, it was worth it, now much more space to move around. Now planning to find a small rug or carpet to put next to my bed, so that can sit on it instead of the cold and hard floor. Hehe. Well about my new room, I now am a happy resident on the 7th Floor, which gives me a very cooling wind in the evenings when I step out of the lift. The only drawback would be facing the wrong side. I am facing KE7 instead of into PGP where I can then also get a view of the sea. On this side, it might get noisy sometimes with all the buses and vehicles moving around by the Foyer. My room is size-wise, abit bigger den my old room, this room is now slightly longer and wider. Giving me more table space and a good bed position. Too bad I have an additional door which is interlinked to the next door. I have no idea there was such doors. Then the drawback for the good bed position is, I can't lean against the wall while sleeping because there is this small unusable area next to the bed which also leads to the window. Everything else is good so far. So for now, thats pretty much about it for my room. Oh and I should probably get a mini vacuum, because my room gets dusty fast. And I feel lazy to sweep =P...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okie so been busy with UFO2 and a new service that is provided by the management of PGP, which is the ambassador service. In this ambassador service, we helped ANY freshmen to carry their luggages, with a trolley, to their new rooms in PGP. We also had to let them know of some rules and basic things about PGP. It was alright, just sometimes the language might have been a barrier since their english might not be fluent enough. Luckily that problem only happened afew times for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For UFO2, I had a Sentosa dryrun with Ryan, KimWong, Syen, SuYin, TsuChuin and Andrew. The 7 of us went to ViVoCity to take the monorail from the top floor into Sentosa. And ended up spending the whole afternoon there. However, I ended up having another dryrun on the following Sunday with JunYen and YinChau, just to let Yen to be more familiarised with the area for the treasure hunt. It was fun since we also went to play on the Luge before going back, which let us experience it since we didn't join UFO last year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so comes UFO2, the actual thing, abit earlier... Since alot of freshies were coming in the day before and checking in early for UFO2. So on the eve of UFO2, already started to bring some freshies out to do their bank accounts and stuff. Went to ViVo for them to get EZ-Link cards, prepaid SIM cards and their bank accounts. As well as some minor shopping for pillows and etc. Ended up going back at nearly 7pm. Super tired from walking around, actually just too bored since I had to sit and wait for nearly 3 hours. *Cries and wails* But at least they all did it and didnt need to come back another day. Then the actual day arrives, the very 1st day of UFO2. Man there sure is alot of things to do. The very 1st &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;"&gt;ACTUAL &lt;/span&gt;day of UFO2, I mean. This day was suppose to be for admin stuff, however I did not go help since I was doing the Ambassador service. So didn't see the freshies much until at night. Which was Games Night, headed by Andrew and BoonTiong. I didn't join in with the freshies most of the time, I just watched them. However when it was the Mass Games session, where we played Hunter-Fire-Earthquake, I just helped to sabo them =P. Muahahaha. It was fun. And then the freshies were forfeited to do Monkey-Gorilla-Chimpanzee dance. Hehe. It was cute. The finale for the night was the Yippy-Ya-Ya game by TsuChuin. Totally unexpected, but super fun. Hehe. Really a good bonding game. AND a super big circle of freshies and seniors was formed XD. And then it was off to FONG SENG!!!! WHEEEEE... however, we ended up conquering Niggi's Prata instead, since FongSeng can't fit in all of us. I think it was over a hundred of us, so it couldn't be helped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 2nd day of UFO2, I ended up bringing the freshies to Biz Canteen for the Makan makan session by the RAs. After the RAs event, we went off to bringing the freshies for the Campus Tour, however it started to rain. I wasn't suppose to be one of the leaders, but ended up doing so. And ended up being the 1st group somemore, when I am group 2. So since it was raining had to use the sheltered passage from Biz to Central Library. And then to Chinese Library and Engin. After Engin it was onto bus B from LT7A straight on to YIH. After that walked over to the other busstop and took another bus on towards Science. We reached there 1st and so we played BigFish-SmallFish with the freshies. LoL, there were two classic cases from the freshies of ChunKit and SiewYik. Both also ended up doing pole dances as well as dancing together, by the way both were guys too. =P It was hilarious. And at night, had QET sharing session. Ohh.. I don't want to say anything about this, don't know if I was helpful anot. I wasn't expecting to be giving a briefing to the freshies. It was unexpected for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 3rd day, didn't have to wake up as early to send the freshies for the QET since the RAs are already doing so. So only abit busy with the ambassador service during the day. That was until around 3pm to 4pm where we were going to bring the freshies out for their Singapore-One-Night-Tour. I ended up being an OGL again, when I wasn't supposed to, again unexpected turn of events. Oh well, it was actually a very fun but tiring experience. We first took a bus to Bugis, since only 1 bus, had to wait a few times, since we were the last group. Ended up in the same bus with KaiLin's n Leo's group. Even got the nice new bus, and conquered the upper deck. Hehe. Then had dinner at Bugis Junction, we reached around 5 to 6pm, and there wouldn't be any place to eat later on. So after having dinner, we went off to the National Library and take pictures and get aircon. And then walked all the way to SUNTEC CITY. Super long walk. Even walked on a flyover bridge where there was traffic. Then at Suntec we sat awhile and watched some water display, or the Fountain of Wealth, as well as taking pictures. The DJ even posted laser messages for us. Which was nice of her, since she also studies/studied at NUS. Hehe. After that we walked through Marina Square, and then over to Esplanade and over another big bridge over to the Merlion statue near Fullerton Hotel. After taking several pictures with Merlion, we went on to see see Fullerton Hotel, in small groups. Since there were too many of us. Haha. After that we all just went off somewhere to take Bus 10 back to PGP. Luckily we could all fit into 1 bus. Phew. Didn't have to separate into different buses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 4th day of UFO2, MOST ANTICIPATED and MOST ANXIOUS day which I was looking forward to, since I was in charge of the whole day and its programs and details. Was abit scared actually since it was forecasted to have showers in the morning. So we all gathered at 9am at the Foyer, seniors, helpers and OGLs, myself included, gathered earlier at 8.30am. Then we all headed out to ViVoCity. There the OGLs brought their groups to Giant where they shopped for groceries to prepare their own lunch. I on the other hand couldn't do so since I don't have an OG, so I went off to BreadTalk to buy my miserable lunch. After which I went off to wait for them to gather upstairs. It was here where I handed out tickets to each of the eight groups. Each group having at least 10 freshies and 2 OGLs. And so I ended up giving out nearly exactly ALL the tickets that I had bought in advance, which was 120 tickets. Thankfully no extra tickets. If not, don't know how I would settle those off. I also collected money on the spot, this was a large amount, and I haven't collected finish yet, so I went off to deposit the money 1st, just in case. Ahh.. how nice it is to see my money back. And then I headed off into Sentosa. Ohh... Bad Luck strikes. It starts to rain. Zzz. So everyone started to prepare their lunches under the shades near the Merlion. Thankfully, that was the only rainfall for the whole day, other than dark clouds and thunder and lightning which made us stop for quite awhile later during the day. Anyway after lunch, we the helpers, went on ahead first to enjoy the paid for Luge and Skyride. Yippeee... Hehe. It was fun to ride down the hill again. This time hardly stopping or slowing down. Then only the freshies played. Whilst they were playing, us helpers went on to prepare the treasure hunt which JunYen worked hard(I assume) on preparing. So once the freshies were done, we gathered them in the Heart of the Forest to give out clues. Anyway this is the sad part for me, I ended up getting a fever here. *Cries sadly* Then had to hand over everything to the others. So was kinda down over this, since I couldn't pull things through at the end. But so thankful for everyone else that supported me and helped me complete it. Well after the treasure hunt, there was suppose to be some games at the beach. However, the weather took a turn towards the dark side. And so we ended up heading for shelter. Luckily there was this BIG BIG roofed area. Could fit all of us, and the eight groups started doing cheers for their own groups. After awhile, the weather was clear, it didn't rain thankfully. And so the beach games started. There were 4 stations. So each team competed against each other. I couldn't watch them since I was taking care of the freshies bags and belongings at the shelter with YinChau and WaiKit. After awhile, me, YinChau, OGLs from each group and 2 freshies went back to Imbiah Station to take get the Subway meal dinners for the everyone. We ended up being early and took the food back to Beach Station and waited. We also started eating our dinners 1st whilst waiting for the others to reach. Hehe. Once everyone arrived, they all started eating. And so we waited awhile for the Musical Fountains - Songs of the Sea, since it was the final event for the day which was only at 8.40pm. And once inside, it was awesome. So many people there. The show was cool. So much lightshows and fireworks. REALLY REALLY WORTH IT!!! So happy, although was feeling utterly sick and miserable, and actually I really needed to go to the bathroom halfway through. Anyway the show was fantastic, not for its storyline, but for it graphics. And basically that was it for Sentosa. I ended up going back to deposit money again since I got paid back everything already at the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5th day of UFO2, there wasn't much to do for us seniors and helpers, since this day is for the freshies to prepare a BBQ or PotLuck for us seniors. However during the day, I first went to UHWC, thinking it would be open on saturday for half a day, but it was closed, after waking up early, not wanting to waste the effort I went to NUH to get checked and get some medicines for my sore-throat, cough, flu and high fever. I actually had a sore throat since the 3rd day during the night tour. YinChau had accompanied me, but I ended up being sent to the temporary ward for nearly slightly more than 2hours where I continued sleeping. After getting checked and my meds, we went to have lunch, where I barely had any appetite. After going back to PGP and taking my meds, I continued to sleep. Until it was evening where I went down to "show-face" to the others for the BBQ night. Really glad I went down awhile. I nearly cried when I saw everyone there and when they clapped for me when I came down. Then Ms Ong, PGP's Manager also came down, and we the seniors, all lined up and greeted here which made her impressed as well. Too bad I couldn't stay longer, I was just starting to feel tired again. So I didn't stay too long. And went back after awhile, even ended up missing the cheers showdown between the freshies and seniors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the 5 day event was a great success. At the start was very worried about this batch of freshies. Afraid they might not be that high-spirited, but for a few of them. However, later on only did we realise that they really can be turned on. As can be seen from the 5th and last day during the BBQ night. Just that some are more easily turned on than the others. Really got to know alot of great freshies. Hope to know them more in the coming year. Kudos to all the freshies for the success of UFO2. And to all the seniors for their support and help. As well as all the SuperSeniors =P&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-909209626297813740?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/909209626297813740/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=909209626297813740' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/909209626297813740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/909209626297813740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/07/and-finally-ufo2-bringing-new-batch-in.html' title='And finally UFO2.. bringing the new batch in...'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-2483988922720633612</id><published>2007-07-11T22:00:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-07-12T00:30:09.160+08:00</updated><title type='text'>"Final" week of holidays... in KL =P</title><content type='html'>As stated in the title, will re-cap what has been going on during, more or less, during my final week in KL. It starts with a Saturday where some of the A42 gang came over to my house for dinner (home delivery from Dominos). Well, they came around 7+ since there was traffic just outside my area. So ended up late. The first to arrive were WaiKit, YeeKae, Carly and Shermaine, whereby WaiKit drove, fetching YeeKae and Shermaine, whereas Carly's mum sent her. Then HanLin was the 1 that was stuck in the traffic. He fetched Gynnete and Rachel, with MayLing and her friend, Melody, following in another car behind him, since the both of them will go back to Klang and not KL. And this time again, HanLin wasn't so sure of where to turn, but still made it eventually. Hehe. After which we all headed in and played 1 round of UNO. Didn't finish that game anyway, since the pizza had arrived. Haha. There was 2 Large, 2 Regulars, 1 set of Chicken Wings, Breadstiks and bottle of Coke. Breadstiks was quite filling for me. After all that food, we ended up talking, crapping and telling ghost stories. LoL then some magic tricks. It was very nice to have everyone, so glad they could make it, and somemore HanLin was leaving on the same day as me, but to Melbourne instead. So we chatted till around 11, and that was when Carly's mum came and my parents jz came back from a wedding dinner. And so everyone headed back home. Haha, and poor HanLin made a wrong turn on the way out and got lost for abit. Luckily could track back to the main road. XD Well this gathering was also to meet up with HanLin actually, been so long since meet him, and like when we crapped. It seems like its every 6months oni we get to meet up. Haih. Quite depressing actually when I think about it. I miss everyone so much. And now HL also go far far, haih, hope to meet him in December with everyone else together. Ohh.. my good friend from high school, friends for nearly 7 years. How time flies...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next few days, nothing much actually happened, just stayed home playing PS2, or went office to help abit and go back home. Not much stuff. Then on Wednesday I drove to 1U to supposedly meet up with Mandy whilst also going to watch Transformers with HanLin and Gynnete. But ended up just watching Transformers, since Mandy actually had plans and had to help her dad. So I drove to 1U, and mum took the car off to Ikea to buy some stuff. Reached there around 11am and went to buy the movie tickets for the 3 of us. Ended up getting wrong tickets =S so paiseh.. oni when wanted to go in did i find out it was the wrong time. I got the 11.30am instead of the 12.30pm. =X so SO PAISEH. Luckily could change.. after negotiating with the rude manager =.= and paying extra RM3. So after the great movie, HanLin gave me a lift to MV for me to take KTM back. Ohh.. how i miss the days i take KTM back... *BAH!!!! AS IF!!!*... Had to wait nearly 30mins for the train.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the next day I went to buy tickets for the next day (which is Friday) for my family to watch Transformers at TGV in the mines. Haha. Watch it twice in 3 days. Haha. Well I did miss the beginning for my 1st screening since had to change tickets. Hehe. Was nice to go out with family. Last time didnt do this that much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the next day, Saturday, had to pack everything up. Haih. No mood. So much to pack. Afraid might forget something always. So far I guess didnt forget anything.  Then on Monday came back to NUS, and had to wait for nearly 3 hours to get my room. Well at least I got my permanent room. Which is much bigger then last time. Hehe. So I am happy in the end. However I am quite careless, got a cut on my finger on Tuesday from opening window (don't ask how... ), and my skin tearing off partially on my palm on Wednesday from being a ruffian while cleaning up (don't ask how too.. this is even worst..)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-2483988922720633612?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/2483988922720633612/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=2483988922720633612' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/2483988922720633612'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/2483988922720633612'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/07/final-week-of-holidays-in-kl-p.html' title='&quot;Final&quot; week of holidays... in KL =P'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-832351830552519462</id><published>2007-06-29T22:31:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-06-29T23:22:48.558+08:00</updated><title type='text'>&lt; 10 days ...</title><content type='html'>Less than 10 days left till I go back to NUS. Kinda depressing seeing how fast the holidays are being absorbed and disappearing so fast. Really puts a prespective on alot of things. And how much we have to cherish the things that matters so much to us. Like our beloved family members,  long  growing friendships, those we think and care about. So much things that should be prioritised above all else irregardless of the situations that overcome and that are beyond us. Oh how I wish to stay here longer so that I can be with my family more. But the timings just all wrong, siblings have school, parents have work, and when I start back studying, siblings will be on holiday or something. And I doubt there will be that much chances left since after Uni would have to start working. Doubt will have that much oppurtunity to go on holidays. And then there are my friends, one by one, they are all going overseas, further away from Malaysia. And it will be tough trying to find a day where we can gather again when they come back, if they do come back for their holidays. Time sure flies by, previously was "Yay!!! 2months till I go back" and then "WooHoo still got 1month" and it keeps cutting down shorter and now it is less than 10days. But its not like everyday there was something to do or some activity. Been a very "lounging" type of lifestyle the last 2 - 3 weeks. Just watching TV, playing PS2 and the usual daily stuff. But most days there are things I definitely look forward too. So it was balanced back into being a good holiday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well bought some stuff yesterday, 4mangas and a pair of casual shorts since I dont have that many, and have been using them on a cycle. =S And they are identical pairs... LoL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And last week, my dad's supplier/friend came down to KL for a visit and got us presents. One of which was a PSP. Was pretty dumbfounded by it too. And it was well.. accessorised too. 2GB memory stick, silicon cover, "leather" sleeve, headphones and USB cable. There were 4 games in the memory stick already too, but 1 was deleted by accident. It even had a movie in it, The Incredibles. Haha, nice movie to watch that 1. It was really awesome, but too bad I cant bring it back to NUS, would be selfish on my part and may cause undesirable consequences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing that happened was the death of Chris Benoit, his wife and son. Which is very sad, as he was quite an awesome wrestler. Now both Chris Benoit and Eddi Guerrero have passed away, two very tough and strong willed wrestlers. Their matches really were those that were worth watching. And even in Wrestlemania XX (20), when they both have championship titles, and in the end they celebrated together. Two best friends, holding a major title each. It was really a "Kodak" moment. You can see it in their expression that they truly were the best of friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/wrestling/images/2005/nov17/3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/wrestling/images/2005/nov17/3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/JOHNCH%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-832351830552519462?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/832351830552519462/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=832351830552519462' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/832351830552519462'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/832351830552519462'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/06/10-days.html' title='&lt; 10 days ...'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-2691632045497260130</id><published>2007-06-17T22:51:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-06-17T22:55:21.315+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Of pain and sports...</title><content type='html'>Just finished watching the Sudirman Cup Finals.

Yeowch!!! Can't leave it bent for too long, or else stretching it becomes a real pain.

A very big restaurant, with very nice ambience. Very fresh sushi and sashimi. VERY BIG oysters. 1st time seeing oyster that are that big. Nearly my palm's length. Crazy! Very crowded also, I guess it because of the festivities? But really alot of variety. Alot of desserts and drinks and fruits for the taking. Movenpick Ice-cream. Yummy coffee flavor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surprisingly met Gynnete there, A-lvl friend. LoL she was there with her family I guess. Haha. So surprised, because I was actually seeing the person attending to her family but didn't see her yet till she was in sight. So I was ter-shocked. Good to meet someone after so long. Too bad I couldn't stay longer though. Heard from her HL was going to come to meet her later. Hehe. Well just full of surprises.

Not a heavy meal because had dinner at home first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cinema was super cold, and a big 1 too i guess. But quite empty. Haha. I guess it was a good movie. Nice visuals, nice shiny man. Did I mention naked? but without genitals or ears. Good comedy too. Not much to say actually. I guess I wouldn't mind watching it again, its less den 2 hours anyway.

There was a big bunch of us. Nearly the same number of people with my last Langkawi trip with my A42 friends. So we stayed at this hotel called... well i cant remember but i think it starts with N.. got 3 rooms with 2 single beds each, giving us 6 beds in total to accommadate all of us, with us guys getting two rooms while the girls have one room. The bad thing about the trip was it kept drizzling. So couldnt do much outdoors, and its cold... LoL.. even sitting on the boat for island was freaking cold, with the drizzles n the wind... but when seeing the eagles the rain died down abit. den the last stop we found out someone could b a potential fisherman =P And at night was the drinking session. I ended up drinking 2 cups of vodka with coke. And with that i end up being a red lobster, a very thirsty 1 too. But someone else was worst. Big Fish!!!! =P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So from langkawi we took a ferry to penang, and ended up waiting at the terminal like some lost soul that doesnt know where they are, we even ended up sitting on the sidewalk... Penang was fun, we went karaoke, some people really can dance =P .. video.. upload next time k... streamyx too slow.. bought Tau Sar Piah to bring back.. 3 boxes =S .. 1 for grandma.. 2 for my own family.. Really want to say thanks to KaiLin, JunYen, SuYin and KaiJu. For fetching us around and their hospitality. Especially KaiJu, showing us the "light" to bring back our souls on the right path. Haha. I mean handphone back-light btw =P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next we took a bus to Ipoh, the 4 seats a row bus.. zzz.. and half way.. it started to feel stuffy n hot. I hate those buses. But no choice, no other buses available. Once we arrived we went to buy tickets to go back. So we stayed at night at Ipoh, half of us at Sarah's house, the other half at WeiFeng's house. Really wanna thank Sarah, Sarah's mum, WeiFeng and the guy thats staying in the hall, sorry i forgot ur name, Jason was it? They drive us around, and we squeezed alot. Thanks to Sarah for letting me play MahJong =P and winning too. Hehehe. And we met Ding, which is syen's friend that looks like a JunYen v.2.0 Hehehe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anf the next day, we parted, KL-ians leaving about 30-45mins earlier den the Penang-ites. And the one Ipoh-an joining us to KL too, while the other stays. Sorry WeiFeng, couldn't accompany you while you were in KL. Hope you had fun =P, next time dont so shy.. XD *poke poke*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the following monday, or 2 weeks after? gah.. cant rmbr.. anyway the Penang-ites came to KL for 3 days =P And the 1st day they came over my place in the evening for a BBQ and then stayed over. Together with several KL-ians. The cast of the Penang-ites, (in alphabetical order) JunYen, KaiLin and SuYin. The cast of the KL-ians, (in alphabetical order) Carly, ChunKit, James, Syen, YenYoong and YinChau. However, in order of disappearance/appearance, YenYoong was the 1st to leave since he had to work the next day, and Carly was the last to arrive, since she went to a concert beforehand. So we were done eating when we picked up Carly and lead YenYoong out. We = the whole cast, in a Toyota Innova. LoL. After that headed back home to finish up the BBQ. Feel bad for making mum stay up quite late. Sorry mum. Hope you had a good rest. From then we went inside and slowly everyone went to shower, honestly did not know that the girl's shower didnt have hot water anymore. I guess din use it often enough or something =S Sorry ya, on behalf of... erm... the house? Haha. The crazy thing about that stayover was they wanted wake up at 0730, and we only slept around 2-3am if i am not mistaken, maybe even later. I can't remember it was too late. I know that much. But the crazy thing is, after i woke up, I couldn't take doze off till it was around 5-6pm in the evening. =.= Well after the BBQ I didn't join the Penang-ites in anymore of the activities as I had to help out. So, I said my due farewells that morning, where they ended up waking around 8am and leaving probably around 9? LoL. I just know it was not the scheduled time. =P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I stayed home for about a few days as well as going to parents office to do.. I dunno what I do there. Then come Wednesday, it's the big event that I was helping out with that I didnt join the Penang-ites. It was the 1st ever Buddhist Culture and Arts Exhibition. It was held at the Mines Exhibition Center. I heard it cost a WHOOPING RM200,000 to rent the place for 5 days, from 10am - 10pm. However, not sure whether it is now sponsored by the owner or not, but thats a HECK load of money. Quite a sight actually that day. There was even a huge light display outdoors that used 85,000 lightbulbs that was controlled by some primitive method of changing sequences, not those huge but flat control panels usually used. It was some big cylinder thing, as tall as a person, and longer than a person in length. Well it was big, the light display even bigger. With lots of paintings too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "booth" that I was watch over was 1 of the big ones, there were I think 5 big "booths". Big meaning it was about 25metres by 10metres, approximately. The booth I watched over was mostly just paintings(on plastic canvas or on a huge porcelain pieces), two gigantic urns, alot of statues(porcelain and jade), 120volumes of Sutra(that were in 10boxes, each weighing nearly 20kgs) and there was even a 7 foot buddha statue, must have weighed a ton or so, since it was made of jade. Height of 7 feet, length of 4-5 feet and width of 1-2feet of pure jade ... i think, well some kind of stone thats white... There was alot of displays from the other booths too. Btw about the gigantic urns, well they appeared in the front cover of StarTwo, with my dad posing with em. Hahaha. He looked so.. "gaya" XD and cute in a sense.. Haha. If only I can find that newspaper section back. Anyway the exhibition ended just last sunday, 3 days ago. And honestly, it was a big event, with the number of people increasing with passing everyday. Then there was vegetarian food which you could buy, which i ended up having for nearly all 5days, the same things nearly everyday too. Zzzz. Thats probably the only thing I didnt like about it. And so here I am now, waiting for something eventful. Actually there are some events that occurred but I guess they are best not to be put up here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Btw, I was just reading my friend's blog earlier, and it pains me to say this, although I have known it has been so for quite a long time, but honestly, Malaysia is no longer as safe as it used to be, if never was before, then its just getting more dangerous. I want to condemn all those vagrants and f-ker. And the way the government is, I don't think its helping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I pray that all my loved ones and those I hold dear be safe and sound, let them all be well. I extend it out to their loved ones as well. Even for those that I do not like or detest, I hope they too are well, for nobody wants for such pain n suffering.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-4520879163376991177?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/4520879163376991177/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=4520879163376991177' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/4520879163376991177'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/4520879163376991177'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/06/long-overdue-post.html' title='A long overdue post..'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-313625093247317436</id><published>2007-05-26T20:30:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-05-27T15:59:52.264+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vacation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='summer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='holiday'/><title type='text'>ShangHai Holiday... Followed by....</title><content type='html'>Okie. So from my previous post I was suppose to go away on a trip. Which turned out eventually to two trips. 1 with my dad to ShangHai, followed by a trip to Langkawi with my NUS friends. Went off to ShangHai on 12th May. Was a morning flight to Singapore, transit for an hour there and then off to ShangHai. 5hour direct flight from Changi. Nothing eventful happened just sitting around with my dad. Haih. Then when reach ShangHai met up with one of my dad's friend from Taiwan, we had to take a car ride to somewhere far out of the city and had to take a ferry to cross the Yangtze River too. Not much eventful events during this day, or the next two days, as it was just looking at samples, choosing products and going to the factory. So after the 2 days at this town, we went back to ShangHai the next day, earlier than scheduled. The weather was hot. Or it could have been the car. So we had 1 and a half day in ShangHai. Half because we reached well after lunch. Went to Lulu Chinese Restaurant. Food was good. The next day dad requested to go around looking at the expensive houses and lands that ShangHai had to offer, and they were REALLY expensive. Only went to look look to waste time. And we did waste alot of time. Then for lunch had Jap Food. AWESOME FOOD!!!! Kept ordering food. So much sushi, raw stuff.. even had raw beef shreds. Didn't know they could be eaten raw. However, my dad ended up getting a tummy ache. After eating we went off to shop =P Went to some underground railway station but with alot of shoplots nearby undergound. Really a surprise they have these shops. My dad splurged on shirts for himself. They were offering to sell RMB160, my dad's friend cut it to RMB40 pershirt. Ended up buying 15 shirts. Which totalled nearly RMB600, equivalent to approximately RM300!!!! In KL, RM300 you can only buy 5 at the most, and thats with promotions and sales that are ongoing. After that we went off to buy pirated DVDs while on the way back to apartment. RMB5 per DVD, which comes up to RM2.50 per DVD. ITS IMPOSSIBLE to get DVDs that cheap in M'sia. And with guarantee on clear picture quality! Then at night went somewhere nearby to eat. Was pretty boring at the apartment, the day before as well before we went for dinner, so I ended up playing the only solo game I know, Solitaire. Then the next day had to wake up at 4+AM since the flight is at 8AM, so had to be prepared and head straight to airport. Worst of all, I had a sinus attack so i couldnt sleep well, ended up sleeping in the living room. Heard the bell ring, woke me up to wake dad up. It was the driver that was gonna send us to the airport. Talk about puctuality. He was there on the dot at 4AM. So when we were all checked in and passed immigration, went to the lounge to wait. Seriously, all the SIA lounges outside Singapore are WAY BIGGER than the one in KLIA. So another 5hour flight and back in Changi and again wait at the lounge. Then got back home at about 5pm. We have been travelling for more than 12hours. =.=&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day after I got back, 17th May, i took a 1hour local flight on my own at about 5pm to... Langkawi. YESH!!! Was gonna meet up with some of my friends from NUS there. Surprised them abit too, I wasn't actually going to be there. But they didn't act that surprised =.= More about the trip in my next post... =P&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-313625093247317436?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/313625093247317436/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=313625093247317436' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/313625093247317436'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/313625093247317436'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/05/shanghai-holiday-followed-by.html' title='ShangHai Holiday...

Alright so heres how things went down. My exams ended on 30th April but i actually already went out to celebrate on 28th April =P I know I shouldn't have done that but the last paper was an open-book exam. So whatever la.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then on 30th again went to celebrate. Kept on celebrating nearly everyday after that. Then the Engin bunch finished CTW and JunYen finished his LSM on the coming wednesday. And we went out again. Went to Thai Express, can you believe it, KaiLin also ate there. I had the Thai Express Fried Rice, and boy that sure was spicy. Never gonna try that again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watched Spiderman 3, I enjoyed the movie. It was fun. There was the retreat to Aloha Changi too. That was super fun. Alot of pictures which can view at theempirebase.blogspot.com. There went to Pulau Ubin and cycled for nearly an hour, alot of uphill climbs. So the tiring. After that came back to the chalet to provide a feast for mosquitoes again. =.= Nearly15 mosquito bites in total just from the trip. Learned how to play Polar Bear. KahKheng is quite pro in that game. Then come back on saturday morning/afternoon. And at night had dinner with the 5B gang, those that were still in PGP since JunYen and KaiLin were going off that night ady. Luckily the room was empty so we conquered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then it was Sunday, where I began shifting my stuff all alone. Made 3 trips all the way from one end to the other end of PGP. Luckily I could fit everything. Last day in PGP before I head back home. It was a horrendously boring day, only cool thing that happened was I met Syen's parents with their CRV. Her parents were friendly. I just made a guess on whether they were her parents cause of their CRV. Then pretty much the rest of the day was quite boring. Wait let me rephrase that... SUPER Boring. All I did was stay in my room, loading movies to watch. Ended up watching Lost World and Da Vincci Code. The others that were around in PGP, well they headed off to watch the Singapore Open, not my cup of tea actually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now back home, less than a week at home and I am flying off to Shanghai with my dad, on a so called business trip. 4 days with no connection, I guess its time to bond with my dad. On another note, havent eaten homecooked food since I got back either. =.=&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-225011557016044395?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/225011557016044395/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=225011557016044395' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/225011557016044395'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/225011557016044395'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/05/2-weeks-since-exams-over-1-week-into.html' title='2 weeks since exams over.. 1 week into holiday...'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-846838576255159595</id><published>2007-04-16T11:20:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-04-16T11:34:21.307+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The War for recognition</title><content type='html'>Its that time once again&lt;br /&gt;swords of lead and ink&lt;br /&gt;unsheathed to release carnage&lt;br /&gt;to attack the unknown&lt;br /&gt;to spill blue and black blood&lt;br /&gt;The time has come&lt;br /&gt;to march forth into battle&lt;br /&gt;heads up high&lt;br /&gt;hearts never wavering&lt;br /&gt;Come now all of you&lt;br /&gt;March forth for the Exams!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well its barely a week more till the start of exams meaning its now the reading week. Where everyone is busy studying. And myself? I was doing so but my heart suddenly sank. So here be a lift for my heart to rise up into its original position. Pressing the button for the highest floor. To remind it that this time the penthouse is where the key to success lies. I pray that there is no pre-exam technical failures. I have been studying to astounding extremes. Forcing my mind to concentrate. Aiming to be an early bird whilst being a night owl. The times have changed. No more of enjoyment, its now of studying continuously. This be the curse of the last minuters. A black cloud looms over those who do not realise this. I just hope mine has passed in the nick of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Studying is taking its toll on everyone, some having mixed emotions, some in one extreme while some in the opposite end. I just hope everyone perseveres. I am hoping the best for everyone in this time of despair. My intentions may seem unclear but it is how they are. I wish everyone the best, my time is short. I have no choice.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-846838576255159595?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/846838576255159595/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=846838576255159595' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/846838576255159595'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/846838576255159595'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/04/war-for-recognition.html' title='The War for recognition'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-2133316929068541676</id><published>2007-04-05T10:49:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-04-05T11:26:24.320+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Accumulated pressure decreasing slowly...</title><content type='html'>Finally the semester is coming to an end. Most of my modules are finished with their lectures. 1st to end was Law, followed by Chinese, next was IT and now in the last lecture of Accounting. All thats left is MNO, Management and Organisation, where the final lecture is this saturday. But I wont be here now will I. Haha. Its not like I attend most lectures anyway. So been making up for it by reading the textbook lately. Trying to catch up as much as I can. Anyway its not my fault, the lecturer is just so boring and he is too monotonous most of the times. So have been quite busy of late with all the assignments and deadlines all packed to gether. Furthermore Chinese was really funny. The last lecture required for each group to do a short play. We went first. Our story was a parody of the class. Stupid on my part for not bringingmy camera to record our play. Hahaha. It was heck funny though. Especially Paul, he has potential to act..  lets leave it there to protect his reputation. Today will be having my chinese oral exam at 2pm later. I hope all goes well. =S I didnt prepare anything so thats why I am hoping for a miracle. After that, only have IT project and Accounting project left. Both of which are more than 50% complete. So can consider as nearly done already. Hehe. However, Exams are like.. 2-3 weeks away. But I like my exam timetable this semester, for every 2 exam days I get a 1 day break, which can be equaled to 1 day of cramming and burning midnight oil. The two most demanding exams are at the beginning somemore so I guess will be alright after these 2. But cannot slack. This semester, must try to improve my grades. I hope to get an A for something this semester at least. Oh I pray so please. PLEASE lemme get an A. If I can't get an A and my grades get worst(with an exception for MNO, which can't hope for much more than a pass) , I am not sure what will happen.. I hope nothing too serious.  Well here I am blogging during lecture. And he just ended the 2nd last lecture 30mins early. Maybe next lecture don't need to attend because its only on review of overall topics. Whee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Furtermore, this evening I am going back to KL!!!!!! KL here I come.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-2133316929068541676?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/2133316929068541676/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=2133316929068541676' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/2133316929068541676'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/2133316929068541676'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/04/accumulated-pressure-decreasing-slowly.html' title='Accumulated pressure decreasing slowly...'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-7641496521825608149</id><published>2007-03-20T18:26:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-03-20T18:46:19.383+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Free SGD$15...</title><content type='html'>Its tuesday, and I ended up cleaning my room this morning, too much dust until every step can feel some dirt. Unbearable. Cleaning was surprisingly fast, I guess all the energy stored from sleeping just flowing out so didnt feel bored or tired. And I am out of sleep recently due to a torrent of assignments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once I finished cleaning, it starts to rain, got thunder too. Haih. End up having to bring umbrella just in case. But once at bus stop, it starts to calm down to a drizzle. =.= Excess Baggage. So went to YIH carrying my heavy sling bag, heavy cause of alot of stuff inside. Went to the post office to send a parcel back to KL. Urgent parcel. Hoping it reaches tommorrow. The most also is 3 days. Hope it reaches back in good condition. After that headed straight to Biz as I have my last MNO Subject Pool. Had 2 SPP last week, and today was the final 0.5 credit SPP to get me my 3credit requirements. It was a very fast research. Suppose to be from 12:15 - 12:45. But ended at 12:25. I had to stay back as I was the "lucky" person "picked" by myself to stay back to play the game in real life. So I walked out of the room SGD$15 richer. I guess MNO isn't so bad afterall. Just hope that my results won't be the tradeoff to this $15.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last week however was a much more memoriable day as I celebrated my 19th birthday. Too bad I couldn't celebrate with my family and friends in KL as well. Started with 11:45pm on Thursday. Gathered at the foyer. Near the "pool" of water. Was quite reluctant, very restless, and afraid of everyone. Because, it is a "tradition" to throw the birthday person into the water, provided they are a guy. Nearing midnight, verything set up, cake with lit candles, (will upload some pics sooner or later) , everyone gathered. Sing the customary song. Blow out the candles, and just as I was about to cut the cake, Kim Wong made an announcement. Do not throw into water, don't get into trouble anymore. Or else... WOOO HOOO!!!! I AM SAVED. wahahha. And it was memorable. I enjoyed that night. And further more Afzal and Girish gave me a call from Oz to wish me. Was really happy. =D And then in the afternoon, I met JunYen at the bazaar at Sci Foyer. And I got a nice present from all the 5B gang + more ppl. My own Zippo Lighter, with name engraved. YAY! I have longed for such a lighter for such a long long time. Now can learn to do tricks. BUT NO SMOKING!!!!! X( X( X( no no no!!! And at night, a bunch of us went to Fong Seng, and chit chat alot. It was such a good day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-7641496521825608149?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/7641496521825608149/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=7641496521825608149' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/7641496521825608149'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/7641496521825608149'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/03/free-sgd15.html' title='Free SGD$15...'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-6723520510115195097</id><published>2007-03-14T01:16:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-03-14T01:27:20.877+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Alot of things happen...</title><content type='html'>So much has happened since CNY. But I dont know about it till now. Feel like a bird that forgot to fly south during the winter, grounded due to a heavy downpour mixed with hail. Never again shall I be priveleged to witness such days again. As history is the past and never recoverable to the present. What lies ahead is only the future. Where uncertainty dwells. Awaiting to pounce on the wary. Swallow all those that strays from their thoughts and those that attempts to take a break. Times have changed. The speed at which time moves on has increased. Leaving no fallback for errors. Adulthood is nearing. But childhood is still at heart. Lifestyle doesnt change, that will be the undoing of everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grey is the mind. Never clear. Black is the heart. Whenever it is in turmoil. White is thy vision. So bright it blinds us. Live everyday in as much colour as you can, or monochromeness will overtake you and be in utter dismay...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-6723520510115195097?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/6723520510115195097/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=6723520510115195097' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/6723520510115195097'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/6723520510115195097'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/03/alot-of-things-happen.html' title='Alot of things happen...'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-8167063773707098089</id><published>2007-03-11T00:31:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-03-13T00:35:01.146+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tagged</title><content type='html'>Just got tagged by syen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here are 6 unique things about me i think...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) I like to help out when I see fit. And I do it quite unconditionally or unconsciously most of the times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) I was involved in an accident before, now have a scar on my forehead to remember by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) I live my life for the moment. I try not to think too far ahead. But I will always think as far as *dteah*. Since it will happen one day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) I don't usually show it, but I really love my family, even though sometimes we have our loose ends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) I think too much at times. Too extreme that what I think has a chance of 0.001% chance of occuring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) I love to eat. My family too. We are kind of like DBKL. Everything also go in. Well nearly everything edible. So before you let your mind wander off, I'll just state it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This wasnt so bad. But I wonder if this are unique.

And where was I? In singapore, far away from my family =( no nice reunion dinner. So sad. Well CNY toned down around the 4 or 5th day something inevitable happened. So CNY had to be stopped for me as I rushed back to Singapore. So I actually came back earlier by 28hours. With my whole family. Then when the incident was over, classes had already started and I ended up missing quite abit of it at the start. So I now need to catch back up with the work, which I hate doing. Some I love doing since its interesting or easy. Some of it is just too tedious, but what am I to do, I put myself in this situation so what the heck, like the nike motto goes: Just Do It! I am I am. XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well on the 14th day of CNY, the previous Saturday, MSL had a CNY Reunion Dinner. I thought it would be at somemore nice with air-conditioning, but who knew ended up in SengSiong area. Paiseh sia, wear kinda nice somemore. Well it was alright ended up having 7tables, with 1table waiting for the choir members that would be coming late. I have to say, there wasnt quite enough dishes but I guess cant complain since it was only $10 per pax. The dessert was nice though. And after that there was football match going on so most of them watched that, sat around talking or went shopping.. at seng siong. XD. Then we celebrated the March babies birthdays when it was halftime at a nearby playground, with someone ending up doing a short pole dance for some to view. You know I know can ady la. Haha. After the short ceremony, we went over to Fong Seng for a drink, not everyone though and met HouYen*i hope i spelt it correctly* and Leo. Then go back. And that was the end. Anyway will upload some photos later. But heres a short joke i received a long time ago to tempt your funny bones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phua Chu Kang was asked to make a sentence using&lt;br /&gt;1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10. This is what he came up with...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; "1 day I go 2 climb up a 3 outside a house to peep. After I saw&lt;br /&gt; couple, couple saw me, so I panic and 4 down. The man rush out and&lt;br /&gt; wanted to 5 with me but I run until I 6 and throw up. I chabot into 7&lt;br /&gt; eleven to hide and grab some 8 to throw at him. Then I get 9 and try&lt;br /&gt; to stab him.&lt;br /&gt;      And 10 hor ... 10 hor ... he die lor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      So, I put the 9 back and pay the girl for the 8 and left 7&lt;br /&gt; eleven. Next day, I call my boss and say I am 6. He said 5. Tomorrow&lt;br /&gt; also don need to come back 4 work.&lt;br /&gt;     He also ask me to climb a 3 and jump.

HAPPY TIMES!!! And thats what I got XD. Actually only during the night, cause day time, had lecture and lab. I like the afternoon =) Well here goes, morning class... 8am... Chinese... Interview time. DANG NABBIT!!! NOT FAIR SIA!!! WASNT TOLD WE COULD USE WORDS WE HAVENT LEARNT YET&gt;.&lt; Those MarketSpoilers. Haih. Anyway this weeks tutorial for chinese is suppose to be a quiz but I cant make it, my flight clashes with it. So will be doing it when I get back, hope lecturer doesnt make it tougher. =S&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After chinese, my 2nd lab session of the semester. This time was quite nice. Hehe. I finished quite fast. And its fun doing programming, when it is so basic type =P. So have to work hard, so that I dont get lost on the way and end up whining how tough it is later on. The tutors are nice. Quite contrasting though.. 2 tutors , 1 very wide, 1 very thin =P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then comes the faithful moment of V-day. Hehehe. Well at night we, 5B bunch, went out to ViVoCity!!! Leo, James, KaiLin, JunYen, Ryan, Syen and YinChau. All of us went to "celebrate" V-Day. Actually its just going out and have fun. Syen actually wanted to go shopping. Furthermore been quite awhile since the bunch of us went out. So off we went, had Long John's Silver for dinner since all the other nice stuff too long a queue. *I blame the Valentine God* After dinner only started walking. Met Xander n Sarah there.. hehe. But we ended up separating for abit. Actually I ended up all alone. =( Then I met KaiLin. Yippee.. and we both went into Adiddas, and to our surprise.. THERE'S a FOOSBALL TABLE!!! FREE PLAY!!! UNLIMITED!!! YAY!!! There was actually a small boy playing with his mum, after the ball went in already, the mum said "come dear, lets go, let the kor kor play" Heheh so nice. Den we ended up playing for nearly or maybe over an hour XD. And within that time the others came. Hehe. So funny. They never play Foosball before 1. So cute. 5-man shot. Haih FOUL!!!. Hahaha. Then ended up 3 person on each side. 1 person would control 2, the others 1 each. YinChau was quite good. Made alot shots. So pro oh.. but holding wrong pairs.. Lol. Imagine if hold correctly. O.O OWNAGE!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So thats basically it for V-day, cause after foosballing, we all went back already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;HAPPY VALENTINES DAY AGAIN EVERYONE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-334733848326843778?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/334733848326843778/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=334733848326843778' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/334733848326843778'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/334733848326843778'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/02/on-v-day-i-wish-for.html' title='On V-Day, I wish for..'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-2864235226573488389</id><published>2007-02-13T23:16:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-02-13T23:53:36.066+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tuesdays = Free Day?</title><content type='html'>WHEEEE!!!! Its tuesday, and for those who do not know what it means, here goes: ITS MY FREE DAY!!!! NO NEED THINK OF TUTORIALS!!!! Why? Cause it was all yesterday, on Monday. Wahahaha.  However, it was not to be a free day =.=&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today had to wake up at 7:30am, cause had a group meeting at 8am. Haih, unfair. After that had a MNO subject pool at 10:30am, which is only for 30mins. Had to arrange around 20-25 matches between two lines with very small distances apart. However, there is a chance to increase my chances of winning an IPod Nano if our group, group of 3 people, has the highest average time. Then it will be a raffle draw to see who wins the actual IPod Nano. After this I was finally free from any obligations XD. YIPPEE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then at 4pm had archery, however, I was CURSED by XANDER!!! Met him on the bus, just as it started to drizzle. And then he further said once reach there, IT WILL POUR!!! WAH LIAO!!! Really happened. DAMN YOU XaNDeR! Furthermore, decided to that today's session would be cancelled, because thought it wouldnt stop anytime soon. So me and JunYen headed to the bus stop, and just when we reached the busstop. It stopped COMPLETELY!!! Blardee hell.... So ended up heading back on A2, and passed by bazaar. Since we were very free, alighted and went tour the bazaar. Was the last hour of the bazaar somemore. And we ended up getting airbrushed tattooes =P and here it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/RdHfAtYmPXI/AAAAAAAAAAM/kEgPRlxrQAc/s1600-h/DSC00360.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_SImIv-ezj9I/RdHfAtYmPXI/AAAAAAAAAAM/kEgPRlxrQAc/s320/DSC00360.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031047462025313650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And well thats about it.

And I can only say this now after Monday, T.G.I.N.M, Thank God Its Not Monday. Seriously, having packed everything to this day is a double edged sword. Slacked timing for the next couple of days, but packed day with packed weekend to make sure all tutorials are done. That reminds me, got to do FNA online quiz =.=. *Note to self*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I guess I shouldn't complain, others have worst timetables then me, so I just hope that I can manage mine properly. Since after having a chat with an old friend, I realised he has really come closer to achieving what he has always aspired to do. And I would like to wish him all the best, and pray that he won't... *Censored due to rights of 3rd party*. Lol. Thats law stuff I have been learning. It's quite good anyway. Always understand the lectures. Just not sure whether I can do it for exams. In Uni lifestyle and course of actions are much more different. Laziness is one of the many keys to failure. And I think I have unlocked it, opening the doorway to the dark and evil abyss. Having no sense of direction. Starting to trail off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Been thinking about my not entirely boastable features. And well one of them is not exactly thinking thoroughly whatever I say. Sometimes I think so much and rush on what I want to say, I overlook the main purpose of having started out on what I want to put across. At times I guess it is forgivable, but the times when they are not, I feel really down in the dumps. Distraught.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway its now Tuesday. Freedom at last. Time will tell all. Faith will guide. Destiny will empower. And...

Everyone was so worried for her. Haih. Coffee and Tea was the most probable cause of her consideration. But even with her consideration she wanted to go to Fong Seng. Well i guess who wouldn't, finished the dreaded and horrid INFUSION, although our performance was good, just the management. Anyway moving on. Well I also went to Fong Seng but before that I went back to PGP. I walked back actually. At the UCC bus stop i met Chai Ying. And ended up dragging her along, but I carried the costumes, this makes the costume count to 4. Heavy I might add. And it was drizzling that night. Oh well. So walked to the bus stop after UCC, the bus stop near the sports complex. I would have kept walking but Chai Ying insisted on waiting, so waited and in the end A2 came. Packed. =.= She was lucky enough to get on, me on the other hand, not so lucky. So continues the nomadic march. XD Well walked till Sci Faculty and intended to walk up the stairs behind Sci Fac 1, and to my luck, there was a taxi that was lost. The taxi's destination: Prince George's Park. WAHAHAHA. Lucky Me. So got a free taxi ride to PGP. Just like Kai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that I showered since got caught in the rain. If my mum knew wat I did, I'd be a roasted duck. Well now I headed to Fong Seng. I jogged there. So nice feeling to jog and work up such a sweat. Healthy John in the making.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LoL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AS IF!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-6933152571049291138?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/6933152571049291138/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=6933152571049291138' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/6933152571049291138'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/6933152571049291138'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/01/further-events-on-day-of-infusion.html' title='Further events on the day of INFUSION'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-3352090226220114103</id><published>2007-01-27T22:57:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-27T23:11:37.828+08:00</updated><title type='text'>INFUSION has ended ....</title><content type='html'>Well INFUSION is finally over but before that have to say something else. Well I actually did buy WoW in the end, the day after going to Sim Lim. Thats my will power span, 24hours. Hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, yesterday was  the day of the actual performance. Well here is a rundown of the events that occurred. Arrived at UCC at 12:30-12:45, went backstage by 1pm. We were to have 2 dry runs before the real thing. So we went to the changing rooms and waited for them to call, no news at all. We were only called down to do the markings for the stage so that we and the IRC people know where and how to come in.. bla ba.. u know wat markings are for. Anyway that was done with we went up and played cards, UNO and dai di. Played and played. Till 4pm still nothing. Note: 2 dry runs were to occur before show, which is at 8pm. We got dinner at 6+pm, still nothing. Turns out dry runs are cancelled. =.= stupid coordination of IRC. The IRC director sucks big time here. Didnt set up a Logistics team beforehand, assigned on the spot that day. Turns out there are no dry runs because some group were tuning their musical instrument, which took 45mins whereby each group only allowed 5mins. I DEMAND JUSTICE. Furthermore that group wasnt exactly doing anything related to their "culture and nation". INFUSION = Event for the Showcase of the International students in NUS. Tell me which COUNTRY has ROCK style music as a culture?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well thankfully it is OVER and DONE! Now can concentrate more on other stuff.... like 253&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-3352090226220114103?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/3352090226220114103/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=3352090226220114103' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/3352090226220114103'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/3352090226220114103'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/01/infusion-has-ended.html' title='INFUSION has ended ....'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-7240462776692021777</id><published>2007-01-23T23:02:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-23T23:34:39.247+08:00</updated><title type='text'>1st Time to SimLim</title><content type='html'>Yippee!!! Today got to go to SimLim Square. At first the plan was cancelled because JunYen was suppose to go for a BloodDonation drive. However, it was actually next wednesday, 30th, not today's wednesday, 23rd. LoL. So we left from YIH and took MRT at BuonaVista. And I think my memory is failing me, because I kept insisting that I can't remember where Bugis is, but I have actually been there more then 3 times i think. My poor memory. So embarassing, I guess its a good thing I have this blog to remember. Anyway SimLim is a 5-10min walk away from the MRT station. Okie so for those who don't know what SimLim is, it is a shopping mall that sells COMPLETELY computer related stuff and games, electronics. It can be likened to KL's LowYat Mall. Well before heading there JunYen and myself headed to have lunch at a food court nearby. My meal was quite good actually, just abit expensive I think. So at SimLim was tempted to buy WoW and BC. So TEMPTING!!!! Imagine the hours I would be able to pour over it. But it would screw up my studies I think. So best to just not play. And luckily something happened there so gave me something else to ponder on and stop thinking of gaming. Its actually quite a good stop to go search for comp stuff. So much stuff to look at.. haha if only I had the money to spend on them.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-7240462776692021777?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/7240462776692021777/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=7240462776692021777' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/7240462776692021777'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/7240462776692021777'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/01/1st-time-to-simlim.html' title='1st Time to SimLim'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-3571934654461770003</id><published>2007-01-23T10:58:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-23T11:15:24.041+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Under seal and deed...</title><content type='html'>Under seal n deed is something i learned in Law lecture. I find it very interesting. Law i mean, not seal and deed. So far this semester I really like Law, Programming and Chinese. This are the 3 modules that I find the time to study at my own will. Unlike Management, where the lecture itself kinda sucks. So vague whatever he teaches. Haih cant depend on him I am sure. Whats more is next week is the 1st Case presentation. Furthermore had only 3days to rush for my individual MNO assignment. And cant depend on his notes much so troublesome this module. And my group are "lucky" enough to get it =.= SAD man. My free day ended up being wasted. Haih. This was because my law tutorial group will be presenting one question next week. But for law, i guess its alright. We ended very quickly too. Lol. I even rushed and ran to the benches at central forum, from Biz Fac. =P Actually, I slept around 2am and had to wake up at 7am to get ready and go to FASS. I ended up waking up at 7am, turning off the alarm and went back to sleep. When i woke up again around 7:50, I ended up leaving PGP at 8:05 am when I was to meet up at 8am, I reached Biz at 8:11 and ran straight to FASS. That felt kinda good though, good exercise i guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lately choir practices has been less. Since last Friday we have only had 2 practices till today. Today though we will be having a full dress rehearsal infront of OSA if i am not mistaken. I hope all goes well. I ended up wearing Kadazan costume. Still not sure if my headgear is worn correctly. =S Anyway i hope all goes well for the performances. Still have a small sense of uncertainty.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-3571934654461770003?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/3571934654461770003/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=3571934654461770003' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/3571934654461770003'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/3571934654461770003'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/01/under-seal-and-deed.html' title='Under seal and deed...'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-5101299946585983469</id><published>2007-01-18T15:32:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-20T13:21:48.194+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Awkward moments</title><content type='html'>Man what is wrong with me. I am apparently feeling down when there is no apparent reason for feeling down. So WHY?!?! This really feels dumb. By being down I give off a bad impression and others would dislike it. I mean who would like it, people would wonder and in certain cases care and ask whats wrong, but that makes it worst when you have no idea whats wrong and have no reply for it. Is it cause my tutorials are packed on a single day? Well it could be but then again, I have 6 days before the tutorial to complete them. So whats getting on my case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel isolated sometimes. Outside of the scope of humanity. Beyond any visual contact even when surrounded. I hurt people unintentionally sometimes. I don't know why. It's a curse I tell you. Cursed beyond salvation. Worst type of curse one can get.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I miss my home. I miss my family. I miss my KL friends. I miss this and that. Under no circumstances would I ever say this for fun. I really do miss them. I am so gonna miss alot more things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where am I leading my life to? I wonder about this alot. Who will still remember me I wonder. Life sure is short. So if you give a bad impression, no telling how much of your life will waver trying to salvage it. So start of with a good impression is always the best way. But who knows whether good impressions really are good impressions. Some may consider them normal impressions and thats just a plain waste of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.x.9 - 1.5.6 - 3.1.4 - 1.2.9&lt;br /&gt;- 0.1.0 -&lt;br /&gt;4.1.4 - 2.2.1 - 2.3.3 - 2.3.5&lt;br /&gt;- 0.1.0 -&lt;br /&gt;4.5.3 - 1.5.6 - 2.4.4&lt;br /&gt;- 0.1.0 -&lt;br /&gt;4.5.3 - 4.1.3 - 4.5.8&lt;br /&gt;- 0.1.0 -&lt;br /&gt;3.5.3 - 2.4.2 - 3.x.2 - 3.5.1&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-5101299946585983469?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/5101299946585983469/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=5101299946585983469' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/5101299946585983469'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/5101299946585983469'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/01/awkward-moments.html' title='Awkward moments'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-5507027386572724315</id><published>2007-01-16T23:02:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-16T23:34:28.354+08:00</updated><title type='text'>La~~~ LA~~~ LA~!~!~!~</title><content type='html'>Choir practice.

BTW did I mention that I have a FREE day on Tuesday. XD But I wonder how am I to manage 5hours of tutorials on 1day. This would mean that I would have to complete EVERYTHING before Monday. Hence this means that the FREE day may end up being NOT FREE for the prior week. Which would then lead to only 1 FREE day at the end of the SEMESTER, when all tutorials finish. +_+ BUMMER.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Raining finally started to seize abit. Nearly had sun the whole day.

Hopefully after balloting for tutorials, I would have gotten the tutorials I wanted to get the 4 day week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lately my days have been quite good i guess. JunYen has been staying at my place since his ceiling fan is busted. Other than that, I guess nothing much have been going on.

Well the day before, I was online and HL msged me about celebrating New Years together, to go countdown somewhere, but I dont feel like it. We, with WK and Carly, discussed on having a BBQ at my place that night, I provide the place and BBQ pit for us to meet up and enjoy and end up counting down to midnight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They came over at around 8-9pm, except for Joseph, since he got kinda lost he reached later. The 1st to arrive was HL, Gynnete, MayLing and her bf. They brought most of the food. And we started the BBQ fire. Next WK and Carly arrived, bringing wine and more charcoal. Lastly ThiamLeong, Rachel and PekMei arrived. Bringing the skewers and other misc stuff i guess. Man BBQs sure are tiring, all the heat and making sure the food is cooked and such. However MayLing didn't feel too well, so she left earlier, much earlier with her bf. Anyway by the time we were done, it was around 11:15pm. So while waiting for 12am, WK, TL and HL went ahead and shot some hoops. BTW, my family left around 7pm to a friend's place so I was alone waiting for everyone. However they came back by 10pm, so they got to see everyone anyway. It was fun, food was good, too bad i din feel like cooking more, cause i wasnt exactly full also. The fireworks were a slight disappointment, since there wasnt much and its just the normal kind where they just fire away. Funny thing is after the major fireworks, someoner kept releasing some small fireworks that just go "phewwwwwwwww...." and "pop". And this continued for nearly 3minutes. Started to get irritating too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the fireworks, we played cards, watched TV and just talked. Watched Miss Teen USA 2006. Haha. All of us were critics.

And so happens that today my dad felt like calling all my relatives(my mum's side) out for dinner after so long having not met up i guess. So we went over to Wisma Selangor Dredging, which is kind of opposite KLCC. Went there to eat at Tai Thong Restaurant, we used to go there quite often anyway, but been ages. So we went there and met up with all my uncles and aunts and cousins. My cousin and her famiy from Australia were suppose to come to KL the next day(29th) but one thing came up after another and i wont be seeing them for quite awhile, at least not until chinese new year. And the restaurant was quite empty so it was kinda quiet, except for the room next to us. They were singing Karaoke and laughing. Alot of noise la. And just when we were about to finish dinner, my friend came in. My friend from college, Rachel, came in with her friend and my mum. So surprised to see her there somemore. Such a long time since we last met. Miss those times we go out for movies and here i am seeing her, at a restaurant talk about coincidences. My mum was on the way out frm the toilet whilst Rach was on her way to the toilet and they were both kinda in a confused state whethere the other person is who they tot they were. Hahaha. Well was nice meeting up for that short time. Apparently she was with the group of friends that were in the next room.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-713961827587734883?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/713961827587734883/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=713961827587734883' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/713961827587734883'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/713961827587734883'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/01/28th-december-2006.html' title='28th December 2006'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-1451402686770677860</id><published>2007-01-02T12:02:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-02T12:18:42.115+08:00</updated><title type='text'>26th December 2006</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sunway Pyramid, we invade!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well  today JunYen and myself went to Sunway Pyramid to meet up with Syen, Carly, Ryan, KaiLin, ChunKit, James and YenYoong. However YenYoong came kinda late. And I didnt drive there. By the time we reached, they just finished eating at Pizza Hut. No fair. Not our fault also late, we got the news late. Okay maybe not late, just got the news 10minutes before the suggested meeting time =P Anyway after eating, they went IceSkating. Syen and myself didnt feel like ice skating, so we went off to MPH and lepak. I ended up reading Garfield comics. Fat Orange Lazy Cat. And i think i met Anita in MPH, old A-levels Classmate that went off to the UK to do her A-levels. Anyway I had to leave early, around 5pm, was afraid of getting stuck in traffic near my place. So i ended up being in MPH for nearly 2hours. But before 5pm, i was walking around, found Speedy and ended up buying some DVD for my own entertainment =P Hey it was cheap, 29.90 for 23episode anime, DVD somemore. So what the heck. Hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well other than go out been playing PC alot, AOM to be exact. Nothing to do =( Also been online alot.

Stayed home and got bored. Good thing I went out for BKT in the afternoon on christmas eve. YUM. Such good food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then on the 25th, Christmas, things started rolling. Drove out to Mid Valley, withOUT supervision, yippee. But was a bummer having to reach there before 12, but still having to get stuck in traffic just outside MidValley while going to the carpark. Ended up parking on the 5th floor, keep going up and up only. 1st time somemore. But dont care la, got to drive. Met up with YinChau, Syen, Carly, Jean, SeokKean, KaiLin, Ryan, James, JunYen and ChunKit. Kai went on looking at clothes again. every shop he tried something i think, ended up he only bought a new pair of socks (since he wasnt wearing any) and a single last minute T-shirt. We all had lunch at SushiKing, been a long time since i ate there, and ended up i applied for privelege card, got a calendar and some porcelain dish plate. Too bad we had to sit at 2 different tables though. Couldnt make as much noise =X Hehehe. By the time we were done was nearly 3pm i think. We left around 5-6pm, and decided to go Taman OUG for Steven's Corner, the mamak stall. So i drove there, lead the way somemore. Hehe. And the lives of YinChau, Carly, SeokKean and JunYen were in my hand. So i drove like normal =P speed where possible. Haha. And when we reached there called YuanLih out to meet us at Steven's Corner. Good to see her again after so long. I ate Cheese Naan. YUMMY, so much cheese. But so dang EXPENSIVE. Prices so high, well i guess have to, since food so yummy. After mamak, I again lead the way to my house, keep thinking I lost them on the highway. Gave them the scenic route =D and they Wow-ed alot apparently. Haha. But too bad couldnt stay long at my place, was getting kinda late, cause we reached my place around 8:30pm and some of them had to be back by 10-11pm. So we disbanded around 9:45pm. However JunYen stayed over at my place for the night. And he sure enjoyed all the MANGA. Hahaha. Pretty much sums it up for that day.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-707745465898538410?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/707745465898538410/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=707745465898538410' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/707745465898538410'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/707745465898538410'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2007/01/5b-gang-meets-up.html' title='25th December 2006'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-7051567757258977343</id><published>2006-12-23T21:21:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-23T22:06:29.996+08:00</updated><title type='text'>North-South-North Taiwan</title><content type='html'>Been away to Taiwan for a week (16th-23rd). 4hour flight turned out to be 5hours due to the delay. Taiwan was freaking cold the 1st day. The damn airport is located so far from the city, just like KLIA and KL. Reached at night so didnt do much but sleep. Actually thats what I did most during most parts of the trip, which was actually just travelling on the bus. Started in Taipei and travelled to different states and provinces and stuff. 1st two days was in Taipei. Then started the Southward bound journey for the next 3days. The further south we went the better the hotels got, except for maybe the last 2. Went to two monastery universities. 1 had super huge land area along the mountainside. nice scenery, cool breeze. Nice atmosphere there. The other monastery was much more awesome. 4 huge pillar hugging statues of the 4 Gods that protect the home/entrance. Super huge statues, very nicely done. Total weight of each individual statue approximated 20tonnes or maybe it was 100tonnes. Cant quite remember, but i know it was a wowing figure. The brass gate entrance weighed a whooping 5tonnes. And it was just as tall as the pillar/statues. This particular monastery had alot of stairs and at the top of the middle tower was a wooden pagoda building thing. Very nicely crafted. Furthermore during that time, it was the flower exhibition. Well not exactly flowers but Bonsai. And some were so nice and big too. There was one in the center, the center attraction maybe, was at least 3metres tall, and 4 metres wide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What else did I go see, there was a hot spring in a mountain hotel that we went to. Nice to dip inside but after awhile started feeling lethargic, so went and dip into the UBER cold pool side. Then go back to the hot part. haha. repeat process till bored XD. Went to a lake, Sun Moon Lake it was called, don't know why but its called that, and i didnt see any thing that resembles that. Had a boat ride around the lake and went up to a temple, walked up again, XD I like walking up stairs. Kinda small but had nice stone statue chairs of the 12 zodiacs. Dragons RULE!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went to a duck farm. Stinks alot. But really ALOT of ducks. Super huge land, and ducks as far as the land goes. 2 varieties, 1 to be cooked to eat, another for their eggs only i think. Also went to a  dairy cow farm, also stinks but had more things around, was actually a "tourist" attraction. Consists of a small zoo, an orchard and god knows wat else, was raining and was freaking cold so didnt pay much attention. They also had motel accomodations, which we stayed for a night, it had high ceilings and 4 single bed. And air conditioning which we had to turn off so that we didnt freeze our toes off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can't remember the order of things cause there was alot of sleeping involved, on the bus to different locations where the trips were long would usually result in me knocking off. Only remember the last day very well. Woke up from the DairyFarm motel at around 6:30, depart at 8am. Travelled and travelled, bought some stuff and travelled again to a Stone factory, mining watever you call it where they sell you valuable rocks, and super huge marble carvings and statues etc. After that, continue travelling on the bus straight to Taipei. Last day was the Northward bound journey. Damn long journey, travelled quite close to the coast, could see the ocean for a portion of the journey, it was a scary sight, one slip from the bus, and bye bye John. Seriously freaky. Ended up in Taipei around 7pm, nearly 2hours later then expected, thanks to traffic. Then had dinner at a hawker center kinda place. Which was alright i guess. Walked around there abit but grandma was with us so ended up go back faster la. Then end up i din shop much at all, only bought food to eat during trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So today, sleept at 3:30am, wake up at 4:30am, go airport at 5:00am. Got boarding pass at 6:40am. Boarding at 8:10am. Reached KL at 1:10pm. Home by 3:30pm. Damn luggage delayed for nearly an hour, stupid service, and immigration was worst den usual bad case. No efficiency. Anyway I am back now. And I miss 5b, HELP and FIS.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-7051567757258977343?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/7051567757258977343/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=7051567757258977343' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/7051567757258977343'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/7051567757258977343'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2006/12/north-south-north-taiwan.html' title='North-South-North Taiwan'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-1026151057321709002</id><published>2006-12-11T21:10:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-11T21:19:28.136+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Back in KL</title><content type='html'>I've been back for 3days now, and its starting to get real boring without everyone from 5B and stuff.

And cut out the 1week trip to Taiwan, I have 2weeks. Furthermore my cousin and her family(husband and sons, my nephews) are coming down to KL on the 29th of Dec. So thats probably another week gone. So I really really need to meet up with everyone before January. If only...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well honestly, I miss my friends, college, uni and secondary school. Man this sucks.

Finally I Can Return Home.</title><content type='html'>Hurrah to the end of exams. Well it actually ended, 4days ago, but now only have time to blog. Lets start off with the jist of the exam, IT sucked. I know I did really badly for the exams, so scared now. I don't want to fail. I don't want to be below average. I don't want to be the 5% that HAVE to fail. Well this is how it is. According to my marketing tutor, out of the entire tutorial classes that he takes charge of, 5% of the students are required to fail. All thanks to following a bell-curve kind of marking. So its damn shit and unfair. Anyway, out of 5 exams i took, my last 2 i really did my best, I think its the best 2 papers of all. So if i screw up the 1st three, I hope the last two can lift my CAP up. And if I can get a good CAP, then next sem when, and IF, I get into MechE, I would be still alright I guess. Okay so now exams are over, can enjoy already. And thats exactly what I did, since the moment I finished my final exam XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The day exam finished we went out to Bkt Timah Campus, which is another campus just for Law Students. to have lunch, ended up waiting quite long before we got to go. And then we came back to the Uni Hall @ Main Campus after lunch for the Nobel Prize Exhibition. It is interesting, but I don't fe el it was interactive enough, too quiet. Layout, abit unorganized I would say. Maybe due to space limitations. After which we went to ViVoCity for dinner and some shopping, bought myself a new jacket, full black with hood XD happy !!! After that we went to Clarke Quay for the whole night, we were quite crazy I guess, cause we ended up staying till 2am =S but don care was fun, especially the "small fish, big fish game" and the ice forfeit XD. And there got to find out how PRO some people are in ChorTaiTi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day, we went out for DimSum Buffet at HarbourFront. It was awesome. Cheap too. Too bad was abit quiet. The cold TongSui was the best!!! The red bean 1, not so best. T-T. After that came back awhile to rest and then only go out to Orchard Rd to see the decorations.I find the decorations so so only, since I've been there before, but it doesnt matter cause was fun anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next day was wednesday, and at night was the MSL BBQ Night @ East Coast Park. Well during the day not much happened, since we all were preparing the stuff for the BBQ, as well as helping others to shift over their stuff. The day progressed quite slowly I guess. But at the BBQ, it was tiring and fun. Well actually, JunYen Leo Ryan and myself, we went to ECP 1st, since we carried most of the food there 1st. Then since we were early and saw BoonTiong, WaiKit, SweeHua and KimWong, we left the stuff to them to take care and ended up with BoonTiong JunYen and myself renting skates and skating  for quite a while. So relaxing feeling, I really miss rollerblading. Especially when I get so much space to speed. Then after over 1hour of skating, finally started the BBQ. But... there was no butter. So the food would stick to the aluminium foil, since the grill cant be used since it was darn dirty. After that sat on the beach for awhile, so nice the breeze. After that was PRESENT EXCHANGE TIME!!! Yippee!!! And I got a FlobberBall, glows in the dark 1 XD. After everything, we go went back. Ended up reach back pass 12, man was it late, but still we can go down and play PC games together XD.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-116548110290844814?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/116548110290844814/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=116548110290844814' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/116548110290844814'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/116548110290844814'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2006/12/finally-exams-over-finally-i-can.html' title='Finally Exams Over.

But then the study environment just feels awkward since I can't study in my room I find other people to study with, people that are non-business students. I join these people because I feel I have company, but in fact its more of a torture. I am not saying I am the only one feeling this, I know you know who you are that also feels this. I just realise the weight of what you said. The majority of people that I study with, they study basically the same stuff so its alright for them cause they can discuss and stuff. But for me, I study in silence, isolated, no chance of interaction.  I dream of the day when I am never alone. I am too sensitive, too insecure. Everything just crumbles. I wish I was blind to happiness. I wish I was deaf to laughter. I wish I was mute to joking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exams are coming nearer. Econs is a bitch. Marketing is a deathwish. Stats is a criticality hogger. Mathematical Thinking is a mind killer. And Accounting is a mind twister.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-116344715904885962?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/116344715904885962/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=116344715904885962' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/116344715904885962'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/116344715904885962'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2006/11/business-is-lonesome.html' title='Business Is Lonesome'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-116300492234318886</id><published>2006-11-09T00:35:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-09T00:55:22.383+08:00</updated><title type='text'>~ Equinox ~ 70th floor restaurant ~</title><content type='html'>Well my dad flew down yesterday, uh.. yester yesterday since its already 12+am. He came to visit his mum, my grandma. Been a long time already i guess, and was urgent. Anyway, met with my dad today for lunch, ended up skipping the tutorial before, and the lecture after. Didnt have the mood to go, and just felt like sleeping, respectively. Anyway lunch, was at Equinox. Took a taxi there and it cost me 9.20 =.=  damn EX. But no choice cause wanted find the location, and dint want to be late since my dad wanted catch the 3pm flight. The lunch offered was a semi buffet. Appetizers and Dessert buffet, main course ala-carte. APPETISERS WERE AWESOME &gt;.&lt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got full just on the appetizers. And thats not good cause still have main course and the dessert. Which i ended up only having 1 PURE CHOCOLATE cake/slice kinda thing. Anyway about the restaurant, its amazing, so classy. No need for decal when your at the 70th floor, just look out the window and you can see Singapore's city center, or the esplanade or, well.. no idea what else since i only got those 2 views. Then the main course was small, but still big, how to explain.. hahaha but was COD so was satisfying to the MAX since i havent eaten fish in a LONG time i think. Maybe thats why i feel stupid occasionally. Improper diet. After lunch took the MRT back = = another bummer since MRT, City Hall, was just next to the hotel, Swissotel. Then took the bus back to PGP and go back room sleep. Here is where i skipped the lecture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now, I am here in SR5B, typing up this blog. And i don't feel right. I feel the increase in pressure from different people's minds. Their brainwaves pressure the air molecules around me. Suffocating me. I feel like i need to take something to go high. I miss going HIGH. Natural High. Forget everything, forget pain. Forget obligations. I miss those times. Even though obligations were there, they dont account to much. But now, any obligation promised MUST be paid. For the consequences would increase exponentially with an additional exponential power to it that results in an infinite value. This infinity doesnt even match counting EVERY second that passed since the START OF TIME. Henceforth, continuing this misery of reliving the past only increases the infinitesimality of the value. Theoretically this is not possible since infinity is already infinite but where is the proof? only a conjecture to date. only something believed. Just like how everyone just believes but cant be sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bah i wanna be high. Thats the bottomline.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-116300492234318886?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/116300492234318886/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=116300492234318886' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/116300492234318886'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/116300492234318886'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2006/11/equinox-70th-floor-restaurant.html' title='~ Equinox ~ 70th floor restaurant ~'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-116254505078833155</id><published>2006-11-03T16:51:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-03T17:10:50.803+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Less then 3 weeks till apocalypse</title><content type='html'>Well like the title says... less then 3weeks left till apocalypse. Whats 3weeks from now.. probably 20 something of november.. and apocalypse .. 1st exams for NUS. Danggit. WHY so fast 1.. i had so much group assignments, that i lost track of time. now there is insufficient time left for studying, but its as if i will be studying. I am just gonna die. I guess i am meant to die, everyone is.. why delay the process too rite? So this is how things are so far, been hanging out with friends that are not in my faculty, which i guess can help me concentrate? but guess wasnt so.. cause end up i still waste time with games and videos.. anyway i dont feel like giving a damn, i applied to change course anyway. hope i get it. i wanna play with machines, do practical work, think critically. something more interesting then seeing numbers balance, learn things that wont have that much of an impact for me and apply things that cant be done alone, especially if its a large group...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;bleah donno wat to crap already. losing my touch. NUS corrupting my nimble mind. becoming too sensitive too. also becoming too obsessive and protective? or issit just me being sensitive? Well watever it is, makes me feel like crap. Had contemplated on smoking or drinking but that would suck cause one would screw your lungs up and down so fast you'd think it was a bullet train, while the other would probably cost me a bomb!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well at least today i went out to Queensway. Bought myself a badminton racquet. I am so impulsive. Man i am tired. Man i am like a trained dog. always listening and following orders. I am sure to get screwed soon. it maybe from my grades or from my social life or from my life i dont know, but i am sure i am screwed.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-116254505078833155?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/116254505078833155/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=116254505078833155' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/116254505078833155'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/116254505078833155'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2006/11/less-then-3-weeks-till-apocalypse.html' title='Less then 3 weeks till apocalypse'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-116110095306374783</id><published>2006-10-17T23:25:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-18T00:02:33.106+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Lifes turned upside down...</title><content type='html'>Yay! Finished my two business mid-term tests! Can celebrate and relax already! Well that was what I thought would happen. Who knew that it would turn out with 1hour of relaxation, the pile of workload would have increased at such an exponential rate just because I focused on my mid-terms. Well I guess I would have to work harder to make myself a better person but the heck is wrong, why am I not doing so? I'll tell you why, it's called bad habit. After not doing any proper work for 1-2weeks due to studying, I ended up getting used to not doing my work. So now that tests are over, habitual nature is taking over. I hate this feeling, NO THANKS NUS!!! Actually no thanks LIFE!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a terrible person. Hypocritical. Constant Procrastinator. Never useful. Always playful. Constantly lazy. Never Careful. Always naughty. Mean person at heart. Bad mouthing fellow. Never think of what I say. Always hurting those I care. Always screwing good times. Never contributing. Occassionally unsteady. Easily tempered. Foul mouthed. Fiery temper. Never keep to my word. Breaking promises. Breaking hope and faith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man I am screwed up. Quote that I just made. "i feel like i getting fucked with a newly lumbered pine tree with all its pine leaves attached up my ass" Whoo. Life sucks. Life is full of crap and crappers. Bullshit happens. Bullshit talks. And in everyday's life, bullshit always is dumped on everyone so everyone is always covered with crap. I wonder what is wrong with me.

Well the english test was a something i would like to shove where the sun doesnt shine. Two parts to the test, 1st part is editing text for grammar, punctuation and other errors. 30 errors in all, and had to guess most parts that i think would be right, checked answer with person in front for one or 2 errors(which i don't think was allowed, but i wasn't caught so it's okay i guess). The text was based on BIO!!! The problems with pollution, and stuff that happened to improve the environment. Worst part was the 2nd part, the composition, is kinda linked to the text we just edited. So had to read again to get ideas and damn annoying since some parts are the edited sentence. Waste so much time. I hate the composition, 500 words, non-fiction and ALOT OF BIO! I hate trying to remember stuff i can't remember. All the renewable energy sources learned, gone like the wind, (of a person) after 2minutes or so, from my head since the exams are over. So basically relied on stuff they gave, luckily there was another text that i could refer to. And alot cool examples that i would like to learn to incorporate to all kinds of things in real life. Even now i have so much ideas for innovations or inventions, but not enough technical know-how to start anything. How i wished i could study what i really want. Or better still just be an apprentice kind of thing and learn enough know-how to start this kind of projects. Anyway was in singapore for like 3days, and i have to admit 1 thing, my step-sister si UBER FAT. Even my dad calls her a balloon. And its kinda hard to disagree, i mean if you see her, you can't exactly say "No no he was just joking, you SO don't look THAT fat." And my other 2 elder step-sisters were there too, the eldest however just came back the day we we arrived from KL, she works in KL but stays with my aunt(dad's sister). So there for 3days.. arrived 1st day, test 2nd day and go back on 3rd day. Then thats like saturday already. But had to go singapore the following tuesday. 1day trip, leave early morning and be back around the evening. And that kinda sucks, cause had to rush to the plane, since i didnt want to get the delayed flight. All that just to collect matriculation package and go for orientation, which was okie but was longer than stated so had to walk out earlier. Then had to find taxi, couldnt get any by the roadside so had to resort to going to the hospital's taxi stand. Such a tiring day, walk here and there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So after that pretty much nothing happened till now, today, 31st July. I finally got my mum to buy the wrist watch i was promised of. Casio Tough Solar. No need to worry about batteries as much, runs on solar power. Wee. And also got a portable hard disk, however not as big or cheap as Joseph's, 25oGB compared to 100GB, RM 400+ to RM400 for mine. Good thing is mines smaller XD by approximately half. But i would really like the 250GB. Hahah imagine the amount of movies, anime and music files i can keep. 100GB, probably used around 15GB already =P. Anyway going off tmrw morning, just thinking of it makes me feels ... don't know how i feel. I am definitely gonna miss everyone back home. My sisters, brother, GRANDMA. My friends, all from Fairview and everyone from HELP. You know who you are, some i will miss so dearly, but i still get to meet 2 of them, and on occassions maybe another 1 more. But STILL the main thing is, i miss all the times we enjoyed together, wasted together, talked together and played together. I wish all of you the best and hope to 1 day, be able to finally just get to see you all whenever. Take care all of ya.. and hopefully i can update when i am in singapore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BTW,  my contact in singapore is   98900153     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THAT IS you dial &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;+65 98900153&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-115435047086038961?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/115435047086038961/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=115435047086038961' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/115435047086038961'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/115435047086038961'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2006/07/english-tests-and-last-day.html' title='English Tests and Last day?'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-115253912285894468</id><published>2006-07-10T21:36:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-10T22:00:28.673+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Things people say..</title><content type='html'>Do you ever wonder like what people say can be so scrutinising you think you can say things in a more appropriate perspective? Why am i saying this.. cause i was wacthing CNN News and just happened to be on the North Korea missile related incident. Why i was watching, well my dad was watching and i was watching the chinese serial together. Anyway back on topic, so it was this fella Christopher Hill going on an Asian diplomatic tour to discuss about some Six-party discussions. Well what he said was something about hoping N. Korea would reconsider on joining the discussions and to end his short broadcasted speech he said "And I hope they make the right decision." Now that is just ... off ... Well to me i think it is, cause who is to say what is the right decision?  And who said that person was the person with the final say or to be the leading voice and reason? So by saying 'make the right decision,' its like just saying that what you decide is the right decision for somebody else, even if they feel it is wrong. But i dont know what this six-party discussions is all about, i guess its for the better good. It just makes you wonder sometimes on what people really say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well last week friday went out to HELP first. So i reached there around 11 50 - 12 00, where Jim said meet there around 12, together with Thiam Leong and HL. Since i was early i just waited, but ended up waiting till like 12 30. =_= So boring just waiting there and somemore nothing to do, but get 2 see some new people. A48 orientation that day i think, my sister also in it, but i din get to see her, although she said she saw me. =S So around 12 30, Thiam Leong arrived with HL tagging along, and we ended up waiting for Jim also, thats another like 10mins. THEN only got to go to OneU. While in the car, talked abit, and i realised how much i miss talking to them, and how much more i am going to miss it. So we reached OneU and went to have lunch. I din even have breakfast, and only get to eat at 1pm. HUNGRY. Somemore order not that filling food, but nvm i guess, can watch weight. While eating, WK came to meet us, followed by EK then Steve. SO DAMN long din see Steve already, look so different. Somemore wearing tie n long sleeve shirt, just his sports shoes spoil the image. XD And ended up talking for quite awhile there, then went to the pool place. And while there I thought i saw Mandy, and was pointing at her, hoping the guys will get what i mean. And then this Mandy-look-alike walked pass, and seriously looked SO LIKE HER. Sei EK talking on phone so din get to double confirm. But seriously was so indentical, and then later on like 10mins time, she arrived as in the REAL Mandy. Also wearing pink, but not a T-shirt though. Then talk talk for quite awhile about this n that, feels so nice to catch up with everyone, makes me feel like gonna be damn shitty when i leave for NUS. Which i know it will be cause i dont have full interest or heart in it. I am just gonna be screwing my life. But having met up is good. I sure want to meet up more before i leave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gonna miss you guys and gals, and my other friends, but then everyone also like going so far away, its so depressing.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-115253912285894468?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/115253912285894468/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=115253912285894468' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/115253912285894468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/115253912285894468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2006/07/things-people-say.html' title='Things people say..'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-115176580237723151</id><published>2006-07-01T22:12:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-01T22:56:42.503+08:00</updated><title type='text'>HAPPY DAYS... joodan o iu</title><content type='html'>WeEeEeE...??? nope not exactly...actually not at all. Well basically wasted alot of months and they just go by without anything productive actually happening. And to be honest, IT SUCKS BIG TIME. Especially if your life is monotonous and lonely. Apparently I am going to NUS, National University of Singapore, to do Business Administration, something I doubt I have my heart in. Can't exactly argue since I hardly get to say whatever I want, all thanks to some useless ... gold-diggers. But to compare me with them, it sure is insulting, on my part for sure. So in a few weeks time, off I go, to an "independent" lifestyle. Probably going to hate it at first but eventually manage, since I should do so, if I want to stop myself feeling so bummed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talk about feeling like the dark toned byproduct of every single multicellular organism and also being like a pressure cooker just that no pressure is inside, basically depressed and empty. And also like the male borvine upon seeing any red item big enough for it to notice in those "vintage" type of cartoons. This basically happens when I think of life, my life mostly, but I wander off sometimes to others but those doesn't influence me as much. Whenever this happens, I don't know who to blame, I always feel its not my fault but then again, I am the director of my life but I don't do so. Then again, I am probably not fully licensed but based on my experience I believe I should get more leverage so to speak. So I also end up blaming my flesh and blood, making me feel guilty at times, and I end up on a whirlwind of emotions, my mind goes to this instant and that posibility. Everything just goes off like fireworks at the official opening of the Petronas Twin Towers. However for my case you can't exactly term it as an awestruck moment or speechless at the magnificent sight, more of the opposite to that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well let's just back track abit, but very far back. I actually started Business course at HELP in May or June, but only attended for 1week and stopped. All this because I was waiting for a reply from NUS. I guess its not true what my father keeps boasting about his hometown/city, they are definitely not prompt and efficient. Well for me they weren't and I really hate them for being so. Actually when I started HELP again, I thought I would stay there and wouldn't have to go to that tiny speck of a country. At least at HELP I would have the likes of Teddy, Thiam Leong and Wai Kit to look for, not to say those are the only people, but they are the main ones I would search out. And by going to HELP I wouldn't have to go to "work", notice the " ", because it ain't exactly work unless you do something and get paid. Both of which wouldn't come simulatneously, actually more of it being towards the former. Being able to go back to studying, or at least getting my mind of things, made me feel so good. And I even got to drive finally, not solo however, but its better than having my mum there instead of the "driver". Basically this was the only high point for me in May/June. Other than the start of the World Cup, that fills at least 2hours of my time maybe more nearly everyday.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-115176580237723151?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/115176580237723151/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=115176580237723151' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/115176580237723151'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/115176580237723151'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2006/07/happy-days-joodan-o-iu.html' title='HAPPY DAYS... joodan o iu'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-114303508344188954</id><published>2006-03-22T21:08:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-03-22T21:44:43.496+08:00</updated><title type='text'>HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to.. ME..</title><content type='html'>Haha.. was my birthday last week thursday, and well quite alot of things happened.. let's just say it's just my good fortune for the few days to come. Well what actually happened was that I collected my results on that day, as well with a bunch of other friends. And I was suppose to go at 11 but ended up only reached there at 12. So didn't get to meet some of my friends at college, but ended up meeting them at OneU. So happy i got straight A. However it wasn't the biggest joy for everyone that day. But everybody passed.. i hope.. Quite a number of my friends got straight A, and some not straight, but still i would think they are satisfied, for some only i mean. Some were disappointed, but well isn't end of the world on that piece of paper anyway. After collecting my results, i followed Rachel to OneU. Her dad drove us there. Surprisingly, he also a banana.. haha.. but he can speak better cantonese than me for sure, and his personality, just awesome, so open and quite a fun guy to talk to, although didn't talk much. Haha quite shy to start any conversation. Well, at OneU didn't get to watch "I Not Stupid, Too" with the others, so ended up watching "2 Become 1", a movie about this person contemplating about undergoing Radical Masectomy, which is the removal of one of the breasts to stop breast cancer. Quite nice show, touching, but kind of lame at times. Then after the movie, me and Rachel met up with the others back at the cinema escalator. Met Alison, Carly, Thiam Leong, Teddy, Wai Kit and Yee Kae. And there i got a bunch of wishes, even a kiss, haha but won't say from who. =P . Quite awkward. So we went to have "Lunch" at Wong Kok. And again this birthday, i didn't pay for my meal, so pai seh. Lucky drink was free. The drink was like 1 big bucket sized glass of iced milk tea. SUPER BIG, even with alot of ice, there was alot of drink. Barely drank more that half of the whole thing by the end. Have to thank YeeKae for the meal, although Rachel's dad already said he was treating me, haha, too bad for Uncle la. Then after eating we all left already, they were all going to Luna Bar at night. But me and Rachel followed YeeKae back to his place, and then he dropped both of us at Putra LRT Station. Then both of us went to KLCC to meet up with her dad and youngest brother, Justin. And then so pai seh la, Uncle sent me all the way back to my house and somemore was raining so the traffic was terrible. So sorry to Justin, super bored in the car and fell asleep. And to both Rachel and Uncle, sitting through the traffic, TWICE. Sure very bored trying to get back to KL. And then at night again go out to eat, OMG so damn full from the SUPER LATE LUNCH, now go Japanese restaurant for dinner, cannot ah. End up didnt order anything and just eat my sibling's leftovers. And alot of green tea. Whilst I was doing so, most my friends went to Luna Bar to celebrate our A42 GRADUATION, FINALLY. Yet Sadly so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next good thing was on Saturday, something just UTTERLY UNBELIEVABLE happened. My school House Team, MARS, FINALLY WON 1st PLACE. Seriously unbelievable. Have always thought our team was only able to reach 2nd at the most, but finally, after god knows how many years, more than 7 for sure, we got 1st. Such a good moment. Furthermore, the house captain was MY SISTER!!!!!!!! wahaha.. superb leadership skills, if i can say so myself. And my sister's good fortune just gets brighter. She got her Jan '06 O-level results on Tuesday, which were an additional 2As, so now she has 3As. Another 7 more to get which she can manage. Haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well lately been very bored, so played alot of games at night with WaiKit and YeeKae. Till quite late also. What else to do, i can't exactly drive around town at my own free will yet. So stayed home, still get fetched about. Anyway, now just hope i get accepted to 1 of the 2 Uni i tried applying to.

And also i am waiting for my freedom to roam freely. See how boring it is if you are just waiting and waiting. Well aparently waiting cant be as boring if only you have something interesting to do. So now i am waiting for something interesting to do. This past few days i have also been waiting alot. Waiting for my dad to finish his doctor's appointment, waiting for food, waiting for my siblings.... honestly keep on waiting n waiting only. Somemore now apply for a university already, again waiting, waiting for approval and acceptance, then have to wait for interview, then wait for acceptance again. Whole life everybody will be keep on waiting, so much precious time wasted on waiting. Too bad its a necessary part in everyone's life, cause if you don't wait, you won't take time to think and chances are, you'd do something pretty rash.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know what i am doing, blogging this for.

One HOT island</title><content type='html'>OMG... SUPER DUPER LONG time since i last blogged. And now when i blog, it is after one of my greatest "Achievements" in life. Finally going out 4days 3nights, with my friends and no parents, and go somewhere not exactly very near to my home, or any of my friends. Furthermore, this is the BIGGEST outing ever, with a total of 20 peopler, 11 guys and 9 girls. And we only had to apartment lots, that had 2 rooms with 2 queen size beds and 1 single bed, a kitchen with only a refrigerator and microwave and some utensils. 11 guys in one apartment lot, 9 girls in the other apartment lot. Somemore the guys not all small size, quite afew big sized fellows, not exactly fat also, but big. So packed, 1 room squeezed 7 guys, all so near, luckily didn't get "high" in bed. Well that's the basic stuff, now in detail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I arrived at langkawi around 11+am, by flight with cousin, uncle and his friend. By AirAsia, damn hot flight, air-con not cold also. So arrived that time i thought the rented car was ready at airport will be ready for us. But end up was actually on the way only, so end up walk to my uncle's hotel, so near from airport. The hotel not bad also, so spacious, so nice. After a short while, Thiam Leong, Jo, Wai Kit and Han Lin arrived, to pass the car, Hyundai Accent, to my uncle. So they came up to my uncles room for awhile and we discussed about some of the plans. After that just went to makan lunch and we went to the resort, Perdana Beach Resort. Rest awhile in the room, then went to swim at the pool. So funny, when the guys leaving already the girls just going down to the pool. So some of the guys go 2nd round. Cold sia. Then after swimming, go for dinner at Kuah Town. 30 mins drive. Phui Yo, kinda dark la the roads, lamp post all not very bright. Then when go makan dinner, super slow the food come out. Wait for more than 1hour. Damn hungry, somemore swim so much, not much energy left. But the food is much better than the lunch food, cheaper also. Then go back to resort, Hin Yap drive the car, wah so fast. So nice feeling. Hehehe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day, everyone woke up around 8am. And then we went to meet the guide for the island hopping. Waited quite awhile, cause of a couple celebrating Valentine's Day, so sweet. Haha. So went on the boat and we went to the enclosed lake on the mountain. So damn huge the lake. And don't even know how deep, but pretty sure VERY deep. So at first i went on some kinda paddle/solar-powered boat with my uncle, we thought it would be at least fast, but not so frigging slow until paddling was faster than the engine. Suppose to be 30minutes on the boat but i am pretty sure we were back well before the 15minute mark. There also got a spot with alot of fishes, Shermaine fed some thin crackers to them and they swarm around her feet. I also tried feeding, SO TICKLISH.. haha beh tahan... so go swim instead. Very nice la the place so quite. And then on way out of lake, back to boat saw the China chinese girl i met on the flight.. wah liao so pretty. For a China girl, seriously hot stuff la. And then we went to see the eagle feeding, that kinda wasting time only. Then went to the beach, wasnt exactly very clear, somemore salt water... bleack ... always accidentally get into mouth so yucky. And then played banana boat. Wah shiok la. The wind blow pass ah, makes you dry up but feel cold sia. And we got flipped twice, suppose to be twice but 2nd attempt joseph, wk, teddy and me try to not flip over. So end up hin yap, may ling and her boyfriend flip over. Then finish all this, go back to the jetty we started from and headed off to KFC. EXPENSIVE. RM9.60 for the 2pcs value meal and don have mash potato, or the roti. So rugi. Anyway after that went back to resort and play water polo!!! That was fun. The toughest position is goalkeeper. Somemore played for quite a long time. Really enjoyed. And then at night, gamble oh. Called my cousin and ah kit come over. Pity my cousin, rugi RM20. At first thought is teddy win the most, but then HL inside the room win double of teddy. Wah liao, rabbit year really got luck la this year. I also won some, but not alot. Pity Thiam leong also, he like rugi alot also. After gambling i thought can sleep de 1, but then all the guys come in and talk talk so loudly, laugh so loud also. Wah liao, wake me up. And somemore talk about all the "man only" kinda discussions. Siao night. Somemore kena sunburn very badly, so uncomfortable to sleep on back, cause shoulders all red. VERY red. But no regret cause now i also kinda tanned de.. hehe happy happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day, pretty tired and felt hot cause of the sunburn yesterday, so didnt wanna go out. End up with me, wk, mahesh, joseph and terrence stay in the apartment whole day when everyone else left around 11am. So us 5 guys in the apartment alone, played blackjack, without money but truth/dare style. And kinda true what joseph said before he go bathe somemore.. got the aura come out if all guys in a room. Was very crazy, especially since each person kena harley and some kena double harley. Pity that fella. And then around 2-3pm like that mahesh, joseph and terrence went out, so left me n wk to take care of the place, we end up sleeping. Nice  to catch up with the sleep. And the around 5-6pm wake up, EVERYONE still not yet back, go sight seeing till god knows where and somemore go shopping. So when the 3 fellas came back, we went to swim already la, supposedly everyone else should have come back already so that we can play 2nd round of water polo. But all come back late, by the time they come back and come down to the pool, dark already, cant play.. so sad, when we finally found something fun to do. Well had fun taking pictures and so on lor, in pool everyone siao, climb n sit on shoulder, dive in all kinda stuff. And imagine, apporximately 9 guys, sharing 1 bathroom. So only around 8-9 like that we could go out for dinner, n split to 2 groups somemore. Me, Wk, Joseph, Terence, Teddy and Thiam Leong went to a separate place from the others, so slow la the food come out. Waited for over an hour for the food, and food somemore come out wrong, was really like grumpy by then but don care la just eat then can go back fast fast. So when we got back everyone else also back already and went to beach to start drinking. Now starts the CRAZIEST part of the whole trip. Everyone drink drink, get high and drunk, luckily i don't wanna drink alot. The taste of Bacardi not nice 1 la. So din drink much of it, but being at the beach like that its fun la. Cause everyone was happy, and we all take alot of pictures. Haha, and me stepping on a dead crab, and hurt my foot. Somemore the crab not exactly th baby type, bigger than my whole hand. Then go back to the room, alot of people drunk and still keep drinking. Crazy somemore terence vomit twice over the balcony, so loud. End up go to sleep around 4am only. But still can't sleep so god knows slept for how long only. But no regrets being sober, cause can see how everyone acts and trying help everyone gives me a nice feel. hehe. Bottomline, happiest time of my life la.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-114018563825232420?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/114018563825232420/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=114018563825232420' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/114018563825232420'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/114018563825232420'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2006/02/langkawi-one-hot-island.html' title='Langkawi ...

type='text'>PISCES MAN</title><content type='html'>He is very emotional and always allows himself to be very emotional. He can   have a good night sleep and be in a good mood, and less than few hour sat   work he can be very moody. He does not understand things or try to   understand things easily. If you notice him carefully, you will notice  what kind of moods he is in.     He is a thinker and able to do well at work and always succeed. His normal   gestures mean he always looks at other people faults, but he will not talk   about it. He has the ability to know your thought and able to tell you  what you are thinking about.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He can mostly memorize all his anger, his loves. They are his important   secrets and he will keep them to himself and will never let you know. He   is not a very ambition man and careless about his position in society.  Wealth does not draw his attention, because he is not greedy man ands   well he thinks money is not something that will last. He could be very  careless about his future. He does not like to fight against all odds, but   instead following the stream and make life easier. Sometimes because he   likes to take an easy path, which cause him very unsteady future. He is kind and slightly lazy, but it is his cute character.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He hates rules   and regulations. He will never look down on people. He is a polite guy and   can be very aggressive when he is mad. He loves to think that he live-in   a beautiful world and surround by nice people, so if he finds his world is   cruel and not what he expects, he will live in his world instead. His   other charm is that he is a funny guy, and it is his real weapon. He can  tease you and yet make it looks like one of his joke. Even when he is sad,   he still has that funny face, so you could hardly tell if he is mad or  depress. He likes to hide his feeling and help other people especially  those who need friend or lonely.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He will be everything that you want and everything you do not want. He has   a chance to make it as much as a chance to fail. He can determine to make   it work and can do it well, except he tends to lost his energy with other   important things, that's how he miss many of his good opportunity.     He can be happy and content by himself. What he think is important isn't   "Love", but firm status and stability. He has plenty of love for you. He   is a good speaker, as much as he is a good listener. When he is with you,   he wants to be happy. He understands his partner's emotional. He likes to   take a long rest and sometimes being alone. If he needs to be alone, try   not to disturb him.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is a sensitive, quiet , shy and easily hurt. He wants to feel worthy.   He can be mad and noisy, but once he calm down, he will be that happy   person again. He is not a jealous or possessive guy, and if he feels   jealous he will hide it. He has many friends of both sex, and he care   about his friends. He likes to have lots of friends, so you can not get   jealous or else you will loose him. He likes beautiful things, so if a  pretty woman walks by he will look ,so do not get mad at him knowing this   fact.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he is lonely or feeling sad, is close to comfort him. He does not  like to take advice, so if you want him to listen or to follow your advice,   you have to act as a good sample for him first. He likes a cheery and   smart woman. If you treat him like he is your special person, then he will   be that special person for you. He will trust you if he is in love, but   try not to over doing it and spoil him too much. You have to know yourself   worth all the time too.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-112772303928857239?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/112772303928857239/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=112772303928857239' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/112772303928857239'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/112772303928857239'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2005/09/pisces-man.html' title='PISCES MAN'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-112689837980679243</id><published>2005-09-16T23:24:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-09-17T15:39:37.783+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Exciting DAY.. kind of ... haha</title><content type='html'>well today start of not bad lor.. i become wake up call boy.. help waikit to win mandy at reaching college 1st mah.. so i help wake waikit up after i wake up de.. den when reach college also wk reach de.. so hehe.. guys win :P.... den go drink teh o ais at dinar.. cos feel so tired... why tired.. cos slept at 2am.. i couldnt sleep at all ytd nite... went in at 12.. cannot sleep.. end up read old comic.. see magazines until sienz de.. go sleep lor.. but when drink teh o ais de.. feel semangat la.. somemore had bio practical.. doing stuff on Bacteria .. make me feel shiok oh.. i reallly like 2 do bacteria... too bad is not grow the bacteria..but still very fun..especially when do the staining.. so easy to do.. so we play around..

BLOODY HELL i am so darn pissed with my life again. I F*****G hate this lifestyle i have even more now and i just can't help but blame my family. I mean i am freaking 17.. my bloody idiots of a step/half sister are even drinking at this darn ripe age and i cant even hang out with my buds on my own free will.. EVERY F*****G THING JUST NEEDS BLOODY PERMISSION before i can do something i want. i need to report in every f-king time as well.. bloody annoying life this really is.. and furthermore i thinks its just so dam stupid cos if something were to really happen to me it would have and if it hasnt then its wat god wanted to happen.. if something really were to happen who can stop it.. i mean i believe that god is the almighty and he will be the 1 to judge how i die, live and survive rite? i mean if he wanted me 2 be dead i would.. i havent been in an accident mayb because god didnt decide it to happen so if he does who can stop him? my parents? no way .. i mean who is to defy god.. seriously.. if some1 did defy god wat is a god for then.. when i say defy i mean go against god's will and actually be able to follow up to watever he/she was in defiance. So coming to think of it.. if i were to go out with my friends... and nothing happens it cause god wanted it to be so not because i was lucky or cos they are always careful.. its because it was to be like tat. and if something were to happen, am i to be blamed? NO WAY cos it was also meant to be.. 1 way or another it would have happened regardless of whether i was alone, with frens or with my family... luck may play apart but how lucky can 1 person get?.. only person i know who can be said to have luck is my uncle.. but even he had his shortcomings.. he even got mugged at his shop in the morning.. not once, not twice but thrice it has already happened and who was it to say he survive.. i can only believe god willed it.. and not coz of luck.. SO WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS THIS.... I WISHED I COULD DO WATEVER I WANTED WITHOUT HAVING TO BE PERMITTED TO WHENEVER I WANTED TO... i know this is asking much but still i know how 2 think.. i know if something is more important i will put it aside and do things according to priority.. or if something family related were to occur .. no way would i leave my family hanging and go out to enjoy myself would i? i mean how can i feel good if i were to know fully tat something bad has befallen on my family.. if i did i will admit to every1 that i am that much of a git and i am a f-king useless person, a waste of humanly efforts and upbringing.. a disgrace to the names of my ancestors... What else is there.. having said as much .. i feel abit better but still having been brought up the way i have .. and having 2 think that no matter wat i will still not be able to do as i will.. i am bound 2 become psychotic... 1 way or another.. there is bound to be some psychological harm.. maybe depression, demoralisation, lack of confidence ... something bad is bound 2 happen unless i try 2 change it soon.. but how? i mean i appreciate wat my parents have done for me but still i am very sure i am old enough to think on my toes and act accordingly and not on impulse...i just need to find a way to bring it up to them.. someway that wont make them shout at me or be dam annoying.. i need 2 bring it up with my dad .. not my mum cos she is just too sensitive nowadays.. but how 2 do so wid my dad.. "dad, can i talk 2 u for a moment?" .. like tat.. i have hardly talked 2 him in my life and whenever i do.. i always feel as if he looks down on me.. thinks i am not worthy to be his son or something.. always talking in a sense that makes one feel so useless.. like some1 not capable of achiving anything.. do i realy look like tat kind of a person? am i really tat useless? i cant stop wondering whether i am or not... have i just been living in false assumptions of my self worth? Well i guess if i have do say something.. guess its better soonner than later.. but how.... dam that word..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-112247771277019071?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/112247771277019071/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=112247771277019071' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/112247771277019071'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/112247771277019071'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2005/07/so-down.html' title='SO DOWN !!!!'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-112246023084030392</id><published>2005-07-27T16:47:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-07-27T18:30:30.886+08:00</updated><title type='text'>20 days recap!!!! doubt any1 misses it though</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;20 days recap!!!! doubt any1 misses it though&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Well the last post said i was bout to have my driving test well guess wat.. i failed so fark it for now.. college has already started. 1st off i want to rant bout the shitty timetable i got for this semester... the longest semester of the whole course.. so pretty dam shitty cos the tt is dam shitty and some its such a long sem.. sure to suffer or just get dam effing bored nia. its just dam not fair la.. never in my whole course have i ever gotten 1 whole day free of class.. as in no classes at all so i can stay back n relax.. but no.. just had to have a class on monday.. i wouldnt actually mind having classes on monday but coming to college just for 1.. yes just ONE class (two darn boring hours) and at 8!!!!!! if there were more lessons i wouldnt mind so much cos wouldnt feel like such a waste for monday and the effort to come to college on a monday.. but no.. had to have 1 class and it HAD to be PHYSICS.. guess this is the punishment i get for being such a terrible person.. all the bad things i did in the last 2 semesters.. i know wat i did XP .. and it was fun so i wont regret if this is punishment but just want to rant over it XP. Oh and somemore on monday's after 10 i finished.. i cant even go enjoy every week and whenever i want.. so its really a dam annoying term i think.. i think it will be just a big waste of a monday.. maybe i should go join the gym at MV, the jackie chan 1.. dam huge and i need 2 get fit... and have excuse to hang there at least.. wahahaha&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;BTW, the day before the test was Prom.. its such a nice night too bad had 2 go off early.. sad.. but good also la.. cos i got to go and see how nice every1 was.. all the girls really dressup oh.. all so pretty .. especially some1 .. wahahaha.. so surprised that they all dress so nicely.. beyond expectations la i would say.. but dam rugi cos i had 2 leave early.. by 10 30 had 2 go.. sad la.. when every1 else left at 12..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Okie so college started.. 1st week nothing much happened cos its the 1st week so nothing much would happen. den 2nd week on monday(18th july) after physics went to MV and watch.. Crying Out Love From the Center of the World.. dam long title for a dam long movie with a OUTRAGEOUSLY long advertisement time... but the movie is nice.. it actually was touching but not touching enough to really make me feel sad and didnt have dat much a urge to cry.. i was hoping for something that could really make me sad enuff to make me realise wat i have around me and to never take them for granted... but i always feel tat anyway just need something to boosten up the effect. Movie is about flashbacks on this guys high school days and of  his 1st love .. i think was 1st love.. anyway his 1st love is dam pretty ... i mean u have pretty and beautiul rite.. she's like the sum of the two.. anyway is a pity she had 2 die.. and of cancer also.. and had to be botak to show the effect of the cancer..  well out of 10.. i give .. 7.. the letdown was the cameraman... i mean when the main actor is crying you would want to see the whole face rite.. not just their mouth and the bottom part of their nose only.. and also the 1st part where a girl cries.. i mean it took her so dam long to cry... its like watching her try to release 2 drops of tears? waste of seconds..  before the movie.. we went to eat at Kim Gary XD.. yippee.. btw.. the ppl who went were EK, WK, carly, mandy and edwin, but edwin didnt watch with us.. he went 2 watch spellbound .. a show about spelling competition.

I wanna go swimming again, learn Japanese, go play basketball and futsal, get driving license, drive!!! .. learn Kendo (type of japanese sword martial arts) or kickboxing. Then there is also the A-levels ball, i wan to go for that, hope i can go la.. but starting to lose reasons to go and getting more for not going...well more like lame and depressing excuses not to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had a nice chat with my sis earlier. Talked bout things tat started made me think.. and now after thinking i having doubts and getting depressed again. Mostly is , directly and indirectly, family-related. I keep thinking of how terrible my life is and how it could be so much better. Then will think of how lucky i am to have a family when some people dont. Then think how selfish i have been and feel bad and angry. But seriously i wish my lifestyle could change. There are so much ways for it to improve, so many things i could have done if only things had been different. Right now, its like my life is just a boring daily routine, nothing special will occur, just repetition everyday. And now that i think of all this i am getting so depressed. I feel as if i need to b depressed but i dont want to cos its a very lonely feeling. Like now also i feel so lonely, feel neglected in some ways.. and again is due to a selfishness in me. Another reason in feeling lonely :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.6 17.6 20.4 -- 3.3 4.5 9.1 -- 1.2 -- 1.2 4.2 5.3 6.1 -- 5.4 4.1 35.4 -- 2.2 9.5 10.1  -- 4.7 6.1 13.4 21.4 -- 14.1 18.2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that reason is the one that really depresses me because i feel its also partly due to my actions. if only i did things differently, maybe it would end up like this.. then feel so pathetice.. eventhough i will say wats done is done.. its still hard to forget bout it, hard to let it go because u know u could have made a difference , if only.. if only.. if only u did otherwise... its just so depressing if u think of it that way.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-111936731312532041?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/111936731312532041/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=111936731312532041' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111936731312532041'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111936731312532041'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2005/06/been-long-time.html' title='Been a long time....'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-111806974782119278</id><published>2005-06-06T22:40:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-06-06T22:55:47.840+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bad Dreams</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Bad Dreamz&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aiyo today i slept at 4am.. meaning early this morning because was studying for Bio exam.. dam hate the exam la.. i feel like i keep on crapping junk inside only .. only confident can get 4 marks.. guarantee i will have 4 marks i mean.. but anyway dont care i can gladly say Bio 3 is now over.. for the moment.. hopefully for good .. i dont wanna resit any papers..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well now the main topic for today.. well i just want to say is that i realise how much i care about my parents again.. and my family.. they really are the best in ones life.. I really realised this for my dad when i had a bad dream today.. it even made me wake up .. i was even mumbling "no, no, no..." .. what my dream was that my father was getting old already.. and he looked rather sickly and everyday looked the same .. until one day.. i saw my mum and dad standing at the front porch kinda place.. donno where this place was just know its at the front and there is a nice strong wind blowing towards me from them.. my father took out a purple handkerchief.. and let it go.. thats when i realised something was wrong and i saw my dad faint .. falling forwards slowly .. everything was muted even my screams.. and i woke up.. i just cant imagine how much this kind of dreams really mean to me.. they really make me realise that there is more to life than material goods.. everything has its worth it just depends on who is pricing them.. I donno is it cos of the heat, because my a/c was spoilt so only had a fan, that caused me to get this dreams but this isnt the 1st time .. had dreams bout other relatives i truly cared for.. furthermore i hardly get dreams.. if any they are mostly this sort.. only once or twice i can remember of other types of dreams, the non sad ones. I just hope this sad dreams will remain only in my head, my mind playing tricks on me only and not turning to reality, hopefully not too soon at least.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-111806974782119278?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/111806974782119278/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=111806974782119278' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111806974782119278'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111806974782119278'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2005/06/bad-dreams.html' title='Bad Dreams'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-111780647880528919</id><published>2005-06-03T20:17:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-06-03T21:47:58.853+08:00</updated><title type='text'>So dark again all sudden..</title><content type='html'>Haiz why la my sister must be so smart and get 1st in year for exams. And why my father make promises he won't keep. Today was actually a rather nice day. Everything was going smoothly and felt nice and I was content. But then my sister had to go and ask for present, present that father said would get if get 100 % in any exam. But my sister got 1st so my father said also same thing I guess. She had earlier asked for something else but my mother said no and so she don't want let go and ask for something else. This time is something cheaper, before was a Vaio laptop. Now is I-Pod, so the cost is only around 20% of the Vaio. But mum again said no. Why say no? because of how she ask for Vaio and reply. Pretty reasonable also la. My sister abit rude 1 la when speaking with my mum sometimes and my mum also wrong la sometimes, she always likes to use the past events to "reason" back to us and so we always end up getting more pissed. I mean I really hate this side of my mum, but I can say I don mind the nagging and scolding but its just the way she replies it really pisses me off at times. Furthermore, how she misunderstands our tones of speech. Replying in a loud voice she will say don show temper but is just that i want to match same volume as her. When reply too soft say is mumbling and she says is rude. So how to reply? Somemore she just likes to scold back in angry tone and she say its not angry tone and say we hear wrong but when I argue back she say why angry tone for when i guarantee i am not saying in an angry tone. So who the one that hear wrong? Her or us? isnt it just so hypocritical? and i f-king hate this hypocriticism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now my sister la, I as her brother can say that she has a bad temper and bad attitude. I love my sister but she is that and I cant lie bout that just to feel better. She is just being too god damned rude at times, even to me. I try my best to let all this go, till now I have, well I think that have done my best to avoid an arguement. Its just she still doesn't understand the meaning of respect yet. Not the whole thing. She only respects whom she wants to, and these people are usually those she are friends with. Only people I can think she respects are my grandmother, maternal uncles and their wife and kids, her godfather and his family, her friends that are older than her, paternal relatives. Even to me her brother I seldom feel that I get any form of respect, and only times i feel respected are very occasional. I also can feel she doesnt quite respect our parents, even if she does, I feel its only on Chinese New Year and their birthdays. She is a good kid but she just has a bad temper and attitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now I am once again stuck in a SH*TH()LE where i need to make both ends meet and its always getting so F*CK*NG difficult and since i also have my own problems to deal with and all kinds of crap.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-111780647880528919?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/111780647880528919/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=111780647880528919' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111780647880528919'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111780647880528919'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2005/06/so-dark-again-all-sudden.html' title='So dark again all sudden..'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-111777558574575685</id><published>2005-06-03T13:01:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-06-03T13:13:05.750+08:00</updated><title type='text'>*Bleack... *</title><content type='html'>Man i donno why but feel like blogging again. This time will be positive blog. Thinking positively now, after a good nights rest I feel more refreshed and seems like I am thinking more properly now. What i said in previous blog may actually be partially true but not entirely. After a nights sleep i can safely say its not to fill up an emptiness but is more of something I want to do. I want to make some1 feel wanted, loved, cared for. Make that persons life much brighter than it is now, so bright it could blind her. I want to make her feel that I can be relied on, feel that I will not be a boring and dull person, but one that is as close to what she is looking for in a man, well I guess I can say I am a man, or partially a man another 3 or 4 years.. but who ever said that age decides manhood and capabilities? Thus i will try to be as close to the man i feel capable of being and be as close as the man she is looking for, even if its just a slight similarity. I just want to make her feel trusted and needed, giving her a sense of much greater self-worth. And after saying those things yesterday, I feel the need to change so I am going to do just that, change and become someone I know I am capable of being, with a strong positive attitude and not one that glooms and I will continue to follow my " &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;sensei's&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; "  motto, " &lt;strong&gt;Don't take everything seriously&lt;/strong&gt; " and to that I will add, " &lt;strong&gt;Take everything as a joke&lt;/strong&gt; "&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-111777558574575685?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/111777558574575685/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=111777558574575685' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111777558574575685'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111777558574575685'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2005/06/bleack.html' title='*Bleack... *'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-111773729933202318</id><published>2005-06-03T02:10:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-06-03T02:34:59.350+08:00</updated><title type='text'>True anot?</title><content type='html'>Wow very long time never blog already.. today all sudden feel blog about something after chat with somebody..  anyway 1st off.. exams start already.. got 2 weeks break somemore, so sure will say study hard hard.. everywhere go will study.. but end up also.. play only and relax, watch TV, computer games, online.. and always wake up late.. and always feel bad bout it. So far 3 exams done another 7 to go.. and the 3 were just practical type.. the theory and all coming soon and i hate it. Why i hate it? because have to study and i don feel like studying.. and why like that? cos i feel very LC.. and confident.. too confident that i know already but i am not even sure at all.. in the end also end up last minute study and get worried on wheter study correct anot, remember this fact correct, is it like this or did i mix it up? is there other answers to it, wat other things .. this n that n this n that.. make all confuse end up just pray only. So for next week exam can just do my best and try to understand everything needed 2 achieve good grade la. Have faith n hope, never give up.. hopefully...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just realised, at the current age at which I am in, I can honestly say, since I am myself.. and should know myself the best, I can say that my mind is abit messed up. I feel that what I think are honest feelings are actually just desires, or a need to fill a part of my life. The filling part is actually okie I think, but its ths thought of why I feel like filling it up. And this thought which I thought was due to actually having true feelings towards the person, may actually be just a desire to want to make that emptiness go away by just placing someone there in that part of my life. And once when i could say proudly and with full assuarance that it is true feelings, is now starting to crawl, walk, run and stampede into my gut since I feel it not being true feelings. But why do I want this gap filled? Is it because it was filled before? It was actually a gap i made so that it could be filled, it was filled once. And having it filled felt great but was it due to true feelings? or just a "wanting" for something, acting like a greedy person, just taking first and then consider later? I thought it was the former, but looking back I am doubtful, and now with the same gap to fill, I myself have no idea how it is going to be filled or when or by whom. I may just be causing pain to the 2nd party,  if everything were to fail, if i were to once again begin my streak of swings and emotional distraught. And this streak will just worsen by knowing they are in pain and it gets worst knowing you ARE the cause of it. So what is there to do? Having this gap will cause moments of negative self relection, no matter long or short,will still cause a rather painful feel to one's mind and it's heart. But what is there to do? Both paths have no guarantee, the 1 with a positive prospect may just crumble due do self doubt, the negative prospect is likely to hurt both parties. And even leaving it alone gives pain the primary party, and even then it is uncertain if the 2nd party is also at pain. Why am i saying all this? Because I am not sure whether I am honestly having feelings or its just my desire to have something, or just being greedy and selfish.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-111773729933202318?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/111773729933202318/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=111773729933202318' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111773729933202318'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111773729933202318'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2005/06/true-anot.html' title='True anot?'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-111625074919659298</id><published>2005-05-16T21:23:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-05-16T21:39:09.203+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Exams start again..</title><content type='html'>Today start exam again..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;backup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;boot&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;initiate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;.....&lt;br /&gt;.......&lt;br /&gt;.........&lt;br /&gt;.......&lt;br /&gt;.....&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BZZT~!~!~! *%*#!@&amp;#^@&amp;amp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;executable&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;system&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hardware&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;system&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;destruct&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;immediate&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well thats how i feel .. now with exams and all... suppose to study .. but apparently not enuff mood to study and very lazy again but this time i feel more motivated than the previous exam.. but depends la.. i must study hard.. i hope all my friends also will study hard.

Is it cause i feel jealous? But if it is, what am i jealous of? of others achievements? of what others are capable of? of what others have that i do not? Its definitely not achievements cause i don care about being the best, i just want to be capable, everything happens for a reason and if its suppose to be it will, if not, it can't be forced no matter how much you try. Others capability? Don't think so.. 'cause i feel capable of doing whatever i want to, as long as i am able, doesnt have to be as good, as long as i can do what others can i feel satisfied, even if i am very terrible at it i will try to perfect whatever i can. Then I am jealous of what others have? I donno also.. 'cause i don't require alot of things also, if i cant get it then its just too bad rite? but why still feel jealous?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lately my mood hasnt been good, not that i am angry or anything, its more of me being melancholicly phlegmatic. For nearly a week i will be alone. With all that time to myself i am sure to start wondering too much again. Thinking too much of negativity is in a way rather amusing even if i know it is painful, but what can i think positively on? On friends? why? i know they will leave me also...what for burden myself, make myself feel sufficient in a lost dream? which will later make me feel even worst? I guess its true what he said to me "You will constantly be making friends, but you just wont have the liberty to keep each and everyone for the rest of your life" so now i feel its just so true. Nothing will last as long as i want, only my family will be there, but then i will soon have to be independent.. start working.. Sure to be lonely again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why must feel so crap nowadays...? what did i do wrong? Why my heart so sakit nowadays? Even have mood to study now, study most of maths already. Even have hope to study for other 3 subjects. But why still feel so shitty? what am i aiming to achieve also i don't know. What i want also i no idea anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel like starting a business of my own now. Something i can enjoy. A shop for me to sell.. i also dont know what i want to sell.. but i think would be nice. haiz so lame la, have this ambition but sure won't start, 'cause i procrastinate too much.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-111366130364375538?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/111366130364375538/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=111366130364375538' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111366130364375538'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111366130364375538'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2005/04/sorry-for-author-is-not-sure-what-to.html' title='(sorry for the author is not sure what to title this entry)'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-111339732796886462</id><published>2005-04-13T20:42:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-04-13T21:02:07.970+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Kei sat chi gay....</title><content type='html'>Woooooo... so funny la when we sing.. in steve car, sing loud loud the whole song.. so out of tune haha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today after bio, walk back after drink cendol and have KFC lunch, i had actually planned to go study maths, finish as much exercise as possible, only for chapter 8, not satisfied that day..

You love to love, always looking&lt;br /&gt;for a relationship. You cannot live without it.&lt;br /&gt;Your lover must be passionate  and you want&lt;br /&gt;that you and your partner melt into each other.&lt;br /&gt;He/She should not try to take the domination .&lt;br /&gt;You dont want a relationship without passion,&lt;br /&gt;and the sexuality plays a big part. The first&lt;br /&gt;moment you meet him/her is one of the most&lt;br /&gt;important. There has to be something between&lt;br /&gt;you , you cannot explain. From the first moment&lt;br /&gt;on everything must fix. But when this passion&lt;br /&gt;disappears you disappear to. For you it is&lt;br /&gt;better to leave than to see your love&lt;br /&gt;restrained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://quizilla.com/users/coreina/quizzes/%09%7ETHE%20big%20LOVE%20TEST%21%21%20What%20do%20you%20need%3F%20With%20PICS%21%20For%20girls%20and%20boys%21%7E/"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:-1;"&gt; ~THE big LOVE TEST!!

EVERYTHING! You're&lt;br&gt;so optimistic and think of everything as just a&lt;br&gt;new adverture! You're very energetic, happy,&lt;br&gt;fun, and loving. Everyone seems to want to be&lt;br&gt;just like you because you're a great example of&lt;br&gt;people who live life to its fullest! You don't&lt;br&gt;really have a sanctuary... That is... Besides&lt;br&gt;the whole world &gt;.&lt; You love to have a good&lt;br&gt;time and enjoy yourself among your friends,&lt;br&gt;family, even strangers or by yourself! However,&lt;br&gt;being so happy and energetic can also be your&lt;br&gt;downfall... Some people might see you as a&lt;br&gt;crazy person who doesn't take anything&lt;br&gt;seriously, but that's so not true! Just because&lt;br&gt;you see life better than them doesn't give them&lt;br&gt;the right to act crabby. Keep living life to&lt;br&gt;its fullest and hopefully you can drag some&lt;br&gt;other people along with you ^-^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://quizilla.com/users/DieColdHearted/quizzes/What%20Lies%20Behind%20Your%20Eyes%3F/"&gt; &lt;font size="-1"&gt;What Lies Behind Your Eyes?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt; &lt;font size="-3"&gt;brought to you by &lt;a href="http://quizilla.com"&gt;Quizilla&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-111150426752038008?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/111150426752038008/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=111150426752038008' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111150426752038008'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111150426752038008'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2005/03/in-my-eyes-sort-of-la.html' title='In my eyes...? sort of la'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-111133372292545070</id><published>2005-03-20T23:48:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-03-20T23:48:42.926+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://images.quizilla.com/R/Ruri-chan/1056289753_Aloneliness.JPG" border="0" alt="You represent... loneliness."&gt;&lt;br&gt;You represent... loneliness.&lt;br /&gt;Always alone and always sad about it... unlike&lt;br&gt;angst, you don't have to look for a reason to&lt;br&gt;be miserable.

college friends... but .. again... i didnt expect to get so many stuff... and a free lunch.. so nice of everyone.. this is actually the best birthday i ever had... at least i actually celebrated with friends.. unlike other birthdays.. where its just family .. and dinner.. no activity... no presents... i was used 2 not getting anything .. and now getting not 1 .. but 3 things.. its so warm feeling.. for once i felt that people actually care for my birthday... people actually noticed me..  however carly in a way gave me 2 presents... 1 she share, the other she make... and the one she make.. dam nice..  so  sparkly  :D   .... the thing she shared was with mahesh, shermaine and teddy.. got me a Very DA NICE basketball... addidas... Top 10.. hehe ... then.. got a Billabong wallet.. from HL, Gynnete, Rachel, Angela, Thiam Leong, ShinJo, Steve and one more person i think... who issit already??? ... so paiseh.. forget the person.. so sorry ah if u read this and ur name not inside.. gomen nasai...  shirimasen...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Celebrated at one-U ... with HL, KumEng, Mahesh, Steve, Teddy, ThiamLeong, Waikit, Carly(FengEe), Gynnete, MayLing, Rachel, SeanI, Shermaine, ShinJo. Went to eat at Dome.. was kinda expensive.. then went to the photo shop thingy.. all girls take pic.. teddy take alot of pic also.. with his camera.. funniest things that happened was that WaiKit and Mahes were like couples la.. haha .. argue over their food.. cos they also sharing 2 dishes la.. argue.. say i want this.. don wan that.. say who take wat.. lol.. just so dam funny those 2 .. then at photo shop place.. thiam leong try get the prize with the claw game.. keep on so close.. everyone of us saying move there abit bit more.. then okie okie abit abit there.. lol so funny la.. waikit also try mahesh also try so funny.. actually the machine very biased one la.. because when lifted already got a shock at the top of the lift make the thing shake off.. and drop back down.. poor thiam leong.. 3 times happened like that to him...  somemore funnier is.. we all finding place to eat.. end up walking from one end to the other end and back to around where we start... so dam funny... everyone was also hungry at that time.. and everyone go split places.. somemore... some of the girls go register to take pictures with a wedding gown.. it was so funny there also.. steve get so many ideas... Lin MC wear that and say this and pose like that then like this and like that.. dam funny .. BTW.. LinMC = OLD short maths teacher, abit annoying when talk... then also got at DOME there.. they all treat me lunch.. i feel so bad la.. cos everyone is confused wat to pay and how much get back.. got so much tax.. and all my fault la i think.. simply say go eat there... i feel so bad.. somemore i didnt pay anything... and rachel keep on telling me paid already and got way la on how they pay.. i seriously very the embarassed.. somemore got tiramisu wor.. aiyo.. make me feel even more bad but this is the fun part also... 1 slice of cake .. one candle.. made the wish and blow off the flame.. then rachel push candle deep inside the cake.. make me use mouth take out.. very scared they shove my face into cake like HL last time at redbox.. but lucky i do fast fast hehe and push mu head back abit so that i have chance to react if got push.. hehe luckiest moment oh...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventhough today is fun and all.. still got some disappointments... all 3 of my boats never wish me at all.. not even miss call or sms... mebbe they dont know but one of them knows.. must have don care already la.. so saddening.. was hoping for at least one of them.. turns out... i get disappointed... i guess they werent meant for me.. i believed that if they at least like me.. they would at least acknowledge my birthday... and since none acknowledged anything.. i will crush all 3 of them as my boat and swim on my own.. since i know how.. just hope i am not in the center of the ocean full of sharks and big waves and no food and no clean water and got rain, thunder and lightning... aiyo i don want to smash already la... but no point to keep also.. so i smash all and make a raft with all 3 la.. or mebbe they come up as one big float... whichever it is..  it is better than have 3 boats that i cant even stand on... so how 2 sit down? ... at least that way can stay as friends... but they will sure forget me also one la..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-111098318464875437?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/111098318464875437/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=111098318464875437' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111098318464875437'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111098318464875437'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2005/03/never-had-such-day-like-today.html' title='Never had such a day... like today'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572543.post-111089319463124865</id><published>2005-03-15T21:25:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-03-15T21:26:34.636+08:00</updated><title type='text'>My personality ???</title><content type='html'>&lt;table width=400 align=center border=1 bordercolor=black cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor=#66CCFF align=center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" style='color:black; font-size: 14pt;'&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;You Have A Type B+ Personality&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor=#FFFFFF&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;font color="#0000CC" size="+6"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  B+  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're a pro at going with the flow&lt;br /&gt;You love to kick back and take in everything life has to offer&lt;br /&gt;A total joy to be around, people crave your stability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity.&lt;br /&gt;Get into a project you love, and you won't stop until it's done&lt;br /&gt;You're passionate - just selective about your passions&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogthings.com/typeaquiz/"&gt;Do You Have a Type A Personality?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8572543-111089319463124865?l=johnathanchan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/feeds/111089319463124865/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8572543&amp;postID=111089319463124865' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111089319463124865'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8572543/posts/default/111089319463124865'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnathanchan.blogspot.com/2005/03/my-personality.html' title='My personality ???'/><author><name>Johnathan Chan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05337636712922666174</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
