living in my own sanctuary.

Happy New Year!!! 2006 here i come!

DAMN IT... type one whole chunk of text and it just disappeared when i post it up. anywayz.. shall keep it "short" since my mood was totally ruined. Bare with me, once a year that i blog so much.

I'm not exactly excited over new year as compared to chinese new year. CNY, the atmosphere is more there. To me, New year is like "damn, another pathetic year for me." So... good bye yr 2005. I must say year 2005 is one of the most happening years. yahz, a year that has 3 poly semesters. And i shall recap year 2005 BRIEFLY:

1st half of the year:
Most boring cny if im not wrong.
Year 2, final semester. Skipped most lectures in poly history for me. Best academic results. Most enthu in studyin during year 2. Also, was the 1st time i clubbed, thanks to my tb21 classmates brought me to zouk.

Involved in school's open house. busy busy busy. Designing and planning the stuff. geez.
ITP in NEA, environment building. Started to learn driving, was super lousy at the beginning and dunnoe how to coordinate the gear, clutch and signaling. Poly Year 2 soon came to a close. Had to split class due to specialisations. Was considering which specialisation to choose. Compromised with my dad, he wanted me to get entrepreneurship, i wanted marketing. SO I chose dual specialisation - entrepreneurship & marketing then. Fearful of the future, the new environment. Old project grpmates had to go seperate ways. Well, still love my tb21 classmates, all? nahz.. i'll say majority. For the whole of the 1st half of 2005, there wasnt any big scale co performance. was seriously missing CO den. Soon, school started. Was in class tb33, entrepreneurship.

2nd half of the year:
1st time i fell ill for over 1.5 years. Super high fever that lasted for a week. Think i got it from some human host. July, went to China, suzhou, shanghai, wuxi, nanjing with the whole entrepreneurship cohort of 4 classes. Wonderful, unforgettable experience i had there. Discovering new stuff, get to know peeps more better, and of course the fun and laughter we all had during our stay over there. No words can explain and describe the experience.

My brother graduated from university. Returned back to S'pore. since 2003, he is finally back.
EXTEND Project, entre integrated project. It was hell. 1st time in my life having encountered such difficulty in doing projects, in terms of handling ppl too. Also, the 1st time not sleeping for 2 days to rush the report and finish up the presentation. 1st time dozing off infront of my laptop while doing my powerpoint presentation slides at home. Was panicking almost everyday then.

Participated in the mayor innobiz business plan competition. I-SCREAM, thats our grp name. Grrr if only we clinched the top prize! Then came final exams for entrepreneurship specialisation. 5 exam papers, 1 paper after another. No time to freakin study. Had a so called fellowship spotting questions and worrying together over conference calls. haha.. panicking together, well i find that interesting in a way, always thought i was the only one panicking ard like a maniac. 1st time in poly, never study properly, going into every exam hall panicking and worrying. Each and everytime carrying that sian feeling of, to hell with exams i juz wanna get done and over with it. Wellz, results of that semester, one of the worst in poly history. Guess i asked for it, but i dun really bother for now. Soon, 3rd year, semester 1 ended.
The.end.of.entrepreneurship.specialisation.

Found my blading buddies. We should have a blading session soon yeah!
1st time adventuring round geylang, yea as in walk that particular area. 1st time taking a stroll ard changi -Yupz, bapok hunting. Interesting indeed. Guess after exams we shld try once more. hahahaa.
Met my secondary school classmates after quite sometime. Glad to know that everyone is doing well. Chalet & clubbed. Pri sch gathering after a long time too: what else? same old style, chat over dinner or going to someone's house to chill out and play games. next time come to my house lar! zzzzz i have game consoles too ok. =D Pri sch frens met me. Said i changed a lot. everything. i guess for the better? that is still questionable. Yup, even indra tot i am a rocker. haha, the erhu i was carrying spoilt my rocker image. Afterall, some part of me is classical, but seriously, classical side of me is fading...

1st time celebrating denise's bday on a yatch. Cool. Then, Chinese orchestra FINALLY started.

Final year, final semester:
Tb11 is the class. Marketing specialisation. Keong had to leave the class for overseas attachment. welcoming 2 new peeps from another class, lewis and shi ling. Simply lost my drive for studyin and scoring. Wan a break from studying. Thought marketing would be fun. It doesnt seem as fun as i initially thought. 1st time feeling so stupid. Yeah, this specialisation, i feel damn stupid. Im juz swimming my way tru, not knowing what exactly im doin.
New project group. Yeah lar, i admit lar, u guys very happening bunch of ppl, injected life into me. Anywayz, 2 more months and its the end of poly. sad hur? havent enjoyed enuff. at the same time i wanna get out and have a break from the academic world.

Yeah, to those freakin bitches and bastards that drove me nuts and increased my blood pressure in one way or another last year, a note for u peeps for yr 2006. *peace off* wad a nice way im putting it in.

Just look at me. This coming Tuesday is marketing research common test, and here i am playing games, blogging. Have not studied properly. panick? of course, but the other half of me says, relax, its the new year. moreover 2nd of jan is juz on the next day. wahahaa.. wadeva.

Glen out. counting down to 2nd of January.
