Shall just blog while waiting for dinner time. Hardly had the mood to blog lately due to the high activity levels on twitter. haha. Twitter has certainly made blogging quite troublesome. Twittering just makes things convenient no doubt having to summarise everything in 140 characters.

OK enough of that. Am having a really busy week ahead due to one submission on thursday and a test on saturday. Haven't studied due to the assignment. So dead. 8 chapters and 1 freaking case study to settle. Toughness. Just have to make it thru this week before I can take a breather before preping for exams.

I wanted to blog also cos I've suddenly increased my wants again but no money as usual to fund for it. Anyways here goes the updated list of wants.

1. Guitar amp - Need a new and higher wattage one cos the practice amp at home is not doing justice to my pedals. They make them sound like they cost 5 bucks each. ok maybe 20 bucks. Currently eyeing at a Marshall Ministack. Saw a few 2nd hand ones on soft, super tempting I tell you.
2. New acoustic guitar - I need a new acoustic guitar. The current one's a tad old and its showing signs of giving up. heart pain. Am looking at the Ibanez Montage. If I happen to be richer, I'll settle for either a Taylor T series or one of the hollow electric guitars from say Ibanez, Epiphone or even Gibson so to speak.
3. DSLR Camera Body - After spending 72 bucks to develop my films, I've been thinking that I need to look beyond it. It's quite costly to upkeep this running cost. After gaining some advice from Kail, I should get an adaptor for my lenses so that I could reuse my manual lenses. Therefore just buying a body would be essential for me to get cracking.
4. New phone - I dunno whether to get a berry or i-phone. The omnia's starting to give me shit.
5. New Clothes - I realised that I haven't been shopping lately for clothes. Must get me some clothes already!

Yup currently this is all for now. The next thing I need for all of the above would be vitamin M. Loads.

OK I'm just here to say that I twit more than I blog.

Anyways some updates to my life after like a month or so since I updated this page.

The overloading request was denied as I did not achieve a credit average, so I'm stuck in school for another year before I grad. Damn sian but I cannot do anything about it cos RMIT screwed me up by delaying WIL2 and it's super annoying that my plans are being disrupted by screwed up management. But I realised that all these things that are happening are all in due course of God's plans for me. Sometimes it's not me wanting to be positive about my predicament but it just seems right to feel this way and believe. So I guess I'm at the renewal stage of trust in the Lord again. Anyways I do hope that I'm able to secure an internship for the end of the year. So that I do not waste anymore time. Marketing or management's fine with me, but I'm still not sure as to which industry to head into. Every industry has it's perks and nonsense to deal with. Seems like this is a pre-grad crossroad to me now. I have to decide and send out resumes soon(ASAP). Where to go and what to engage in? Please offer me your advice if any.

That's a number I had to come to terms with from now on until at least next year. Haha. Nevertheless I wanna thank the good ol folks for the gd time and all those who wished me. I had a blast. =)

Finally I received the remaining result from RMIT. In a nutshell I passed all my modules this semester and I thank the good Lord for it. It's been a rough semester and I'm so glad that I cleared it. Next semester is going to be tough as I'm taking 5 modules (well that's still pending) which is quite a challenge I must say. Nevertheless I will persevere on and graduate by this year. Woo. Time to move on!

Got a shock this afternoon when my mum called to tell me that Ah Mah passed away this morning. I suddenly spaced out for awhile before deciding what to do. Was jamming at Sam's place today when the call came. Decided to head down awhile later when I got more news from my mom. Thank God for Evan who drove me down to CGH. If not I also dunno how long I will take to get there from Bukit Panjang. Damn far.

Anyway I feel that her passing was a blessing to her as she need not suffer anymore from whatever shit people throw at her. Gotta brace myself for the wake and the funeral. The only person I'm worried about now is my mom. No doubt she seems rather ok still, but I reckon the worst will come on the last day of the wake. That will be the most emotional day for everyone I guess, not just my mom. Sigh. Just pray for strength and comfort to be upon my whole family including the extended ones. Let me know if you wanna attend the wake. Details are below

Wake Details:
Block 522 Jurong West St. 52

Funeral's gonna be held this friday. So if you all wanna come, please contact me first as I might be resting at home.

Anyways, big thank yous to all who expressed their condolences. They are appreciated.

Finally it's the summer vacation period again. Exams are finally over and this has been a long awaited break. Exams were ok except for the BB paper. I'm super worried for that one. Sigh I hope and pray that my results will be well and I just wanna graduate by this year.

Anyway its the summer break and I've been catching up on sleep and loads of me time. Got quite a lot of activities lined up and I guess it's gonna be really fun. I hope.

OK it's really been awhile since this page was updated. Been really busy especially the past 2 weeks trying to deal with all those deadlines. It's really quite a mad run. Dealing with 3 different assignments in a day isn't really something you'd want. But well it all goes down to "gd" time management.

Anyways at least all assignments have been cleared and it's now time to start studying and putting in effort to clear the exams once again. Shitty but what to do. sigh. But at least I had a good post exam day out with my jam mates (Kevin, Melvyn & Darrell) today. Went jamming in the afternoon and seriously, it's been a long while since I picked up my guitar. Hand is aching but it feels good.

Today's jam consisted of the following songs. (not in order)

1. Welcome to the jungle
2. Enter Sandman (Need more work)
3. Sweet Child of Mine
4. Don't Cry
5. All the small things
6. Dare you to move
7. Smoke on the water
8. I'll be there for you
9. Chasing cars
10. With or without you
11. Where the streets have no name
12. EMO song (Just some emo shit that we came up with)
13. Techno song (Melvyn's techno effect on the bass just gave birth to this song)
14. I don't love you
15. High and Dry
16. Creep
17. Foxey Lady

Ok that's all I can remember. Ok seriously I am quite impressed with the list of songs that we played. Can ask Mr Tan to compile CD already. So who's Mr Tan? Tan Ku Ku (wait long long) understand!? OK some of you might have heard this shit from me before, but whatever.

Right so after jam session we headed over to the new Bugis shopping mall for dinner and an impromptu movie. Caught Shinjuku Incident starring Jackie Chan. In my opinion, it's good and tix @ $6 made it even better. The cinema company Filmgarde (same as Kallang Leisure Park), offers movies at $6 all day, everyday. It beats having to identify yourself as a student and pick those hours or days to catch a movie at student rates. Really big screen and I think the seats are damn spacious with ample leg room. Mind you I still had room to stretch my legs after putting my guitar and my pedaltrain in front of me. It's that spacious and it made it so convenient for cinema goers like me who have so much stuff to carry. Shiok. Headed over to the prata place opposite Parco for prata and teh. The aircon was so cold in the new shopping mall that I didn't even take notice of the mall's name. I just wanted to get out and have a hot drink. So overall it was a good day out with the mates. Can't wait for the next jam and movie outing with them again.

Just a thanksgiving I wanna share. I finally got deferred from my ICT. When I submitted my deferment for the first time, it was quite a big hooha. My flight warrant called me to check how is he able to plan out my ICT so that it would not clash with my school life. So I thought it was going to be successful, but alas it got rejected. Reason being that fulltime students are not allowed to be deferred from ICT due to us making up the strength for the squadron which is kinda bullshit cos you know, obviously they do not recognise SIM students as students; who actually get to use their matriculation cards to get student meals at McDonalds and all the student privileges.

Anyways I made an appeal against that overly biased and prespostrous decision. And by God's grace it got through and I have been deferred. 2 weeks of ICT is really damaging for me this semester as I have like 7 assignments to churn out. So glad that it's deferred. The months leading up to exams are just too filled with deadlines. I just pray for discipline.

Warning! Boring post.

This is the most slack week of the new year. Still adjusting back to school life after a long and not so fulfilling break. Thank God I managed to find group mates for my HR module this week and it really shows the goodness of God's providence. Everyone stays in Simei except for 1, who stays in Katong. Super blessed for this arrangement.

All this idle slack time has made way for some revelations. One being that I'm getting like older this year (like in 5 months time), another would be I'm still stuck being a student, and I still need a vacation badly. Heard from Irvin about his Bali surfing cum bumming trip. Sounds damn exciting and at the same time expensive. Happen to watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall today to kill time and I thought that it wouldn't be such a bad idea to go on a holiday by myself. It could be quite an experience for some, for me at least. You could do away with all considerations and do things at your own pace. Like wake up at anytime, eat at anytime, go surfing, get a massage, drink at the bar and so on. In a nutshell, it's a me, myself and I holiday with no strings attached, sparing only a thought for myself. =)

Crap lah I just wanna go for a getaway dammit! But now's not the time due to expenditure woes and the upcoming piles of school work waiting for me in the months to come. Great with that being said, I'll only get to getaway after the closure of this semester. Praying hard not to get called up for reservist and having enough to spend. Sigh. But for now, ideal getaway options would be Bali, Fishing Kelong, Malacca, Hongkong, Bangkok, Taiwan, Desaru cycling trip, Backpacking trip to Vietnam. That'll be all for now I guess.

Been wanting to visit the museum for reasons being, I haven't been there in the longest time ever, I wanna use up my film and shoot some nice pictures. Maybe I should just stop being lazy and step out of the house to do it. Currently in search of budget and cheap activities to do, that do not require much considerations like cycling. Fishing is another activity. Too bad I ain got mates who actually fish other than on facebook. That serves as my online getaway haha. Need my Dad on this one. I think I better do it fast before the semester gets too busy.

I wanna go iceskating as well. Just that it's morbidly expensive compared to the times when I went when I was in secondary school. Kinda hard to find people who wanna go as well. Sigh I guess I'll have to pray for it or it'll never happen. It's times like this that I feel guilty treating You like a vending machine who never goes out of stock. Really wanna thank You for keeping me sane, for your providence and getting the devil out of my mind when it became a playground for that lowlife.
