Looks like i've to get a new pair soon.
Bloody loser, fancy stealing flip-flops. You'll slip and fall one day. Just wait. LOL
I feel so damn bloody occupied.
how the hell did i get myself into so much trouble.
I'm glad there're those after work meet-ups.
it keeps me going ")
A lil wax and spray should do the trick.
w/o them, its short and very black. i look neeerrrrrdddyyyyyyy!
for the second time, i walked past the mirror and whispered to myself 'who the fuck is that?'
About taking a supp,
cos i fell sick, the night before my LAST paper.
Most importantly, the paper was manageable, i heard. Grr
in the midst of sip, i'll have my supp,
12 days to sip,
3 weeks to supp.
all the hussle, like wth.
ohwell.
at least i'll be graded. Sigh.
1st ever supp paper, mixed feelings.
but i'm sure, it makes my life in TP more memorable. zzz
afterall it's indeed my last.
"Often the case, people who talks about how fucked-up others are, are often fucked-up themselves."
you know it best.
Determined Realist (DR)
(Just visiting? Take the free personality test and determine your iPersonic type!)Determined Realists like to bear responsibility and welcome challenges. They are stable, reliable persons. External contacts are very important to them; they mix well and are very active. They are excellent organisers and are very happy when things are done correctly and punctually; they can quickly react impatiently if others are not as conscientious, orderly and dutiful as they are. They prefer structured work which produces visible results quickly to abstract, long-drawn-out processes. Determined Realists have no problem with routine as long as it serves efficiency. However, they very much dislike unexpected and unpredictable occurrences which mess up their careful plans. Once they have committed themselves to a cause they do this with dedication and are willing to make considerable sacrifices for it.
Determined Realists do not avoid conflicts and criticism but face up to them and look for solutions. As they have a keen eye for the errors and shortcomings of others and are often quick at expressing criticism, they sometimes rub people up the wrong way especially when they lose their temper and jump to conclusions. Due to their marked sense of justice they are quickly willing to correct themselves and never take offence if someone speaks to them frankly. You do not have to seek hidden motives with them; you always know where you are. Determined Realists are often found in executive positions as they combine commitment, competence and the ability to assert themselves. In their spare time, they often also accept responsibility in clubs and other institutions.
Traditions rate highly with Determined Realists. They attend every family event and never forget a birthday or wedding anniversary. Family and friends are very important to them. With their open, communicative manner, they find it easy to get to know people and have a large circle of friends and acquaintances. They are never superficial, but reliable and loyal friends who are always there when they are needed. Determined Realists take their relationships very seriously - they dream of finding a partner for life. In a love relationship, they seek above all stability and loyalty and here, too, they are willing to invest a lot in a harmonious togetherness. Determined Realists master crises or difficult phases with composure; they would never think of breaking a promise given. As a partner, one can always rely on their support.
***the first part is so freakingly true***
Attended Bsc subcomm camp as a programmer. All i can say is PROGRAMME ROCKS MY SOCKS.
Taken from Maybelle's
Nightwalk was the highlight! Although the prep was ultra tiring, the outcome was successful i'd say.
Some pictures:
Some subcomm groups that came to our (Chrystal and myself) scene was damn hilarious and super timid, i had to crawl around them and force them into the toilet like some shephard herding a bunch of sheeps.
Others shrieked at the slightest actions and sounds i make.
Some cried and many ran out.
Not bad eh. hahahaha. super fun and i totally enjoyed scaring the subcomms!
There were also quite a number tha called me by my name "eh thats edwin leyy", "chey, its edwin", "eh, edwin, can u give me the clue"
"thanks edwin(before they left)", "eh edwin, u look damn gross", "everyone shh, edwin wants to tell us something" etc etc.
Super spoiler ok! ahhaa.
All in all, i had fun. Thanks BSC.!
Been spending quite some money on good food and cab-rides. Finances are rather tight. Save!
My laptop recently became prey to trojan horses and eventually died. It's ok, my dad's laptop is available!
No internet access cos home wireless is dying from old-age. NVM. study tax paper. focus.
Bought a new pair of shades, and it cracked on the day it was purchased under some fucking kid's feet. ITS NOT OKAY. PAY ME BACK.
zzzz. obviously he didnt, i wouldnt have asked from him either, but his m-o-t-h-e-r ought to teach him whats responsibility man!
i would have gleefully accepted IF the m-o-t-h-e-r offered to compensate. IF.
i'm officially damn bloody broke.
Now's not the time to spend and certainly not the time to re-spent!!.
oh well, there goes my river island shades.. T.T
Nothing seems so go well these days. What the hell is happening!?
accountants sibeh no life. sigh.
back to tax. bye.
For those who thought i died or somehow deserted this place due to a lack of updates, i'm just plain lazy. haha. Well, i'm actually doing fine! Let me flash a picture as proof!
SEE!?!? I'm ALIVE and KICKIN'!!!I actually quite like the pair of big old-school vintage ah-pek glasses. It's not mine though.
Ok, for the past week i've been busy. But being busy doesnt really stop me from spending. Take a look at my new collection of books. All are classified under 'impulse buys'. All the reading, I guess i'm just desperate to be a witty young promising adult or perhaps i'm just trying to act like one. hahaa.
Ok the first book " When i say no, i feel guilty" is purchased solely because of its interesting title and its attractive colours. This book is actually really very interesting and its the last of its kind on the shelf. So my instant reaction was, heck. just buy it. I'm sure this book will be benefitting as it allows for self-improvement, teaching us how to manage our assertiveness etc. I've even came to know that there's actually a bill on assertive rights where i learnt something new: Everyone has the right to make an illogical decision without providing any explanations. HAHAHA. Next time when i'm cranky and does something stupid, i need not provide any explanations! try asking me for an explanation haa =P
The second book " Pass that job interview" is really damn bloody useful. After readin it, i felt as though i could manage all kinds of interview. I bought this book so as to prepare myself for the securing of my internship placement with KPMG. However, it seems that KPMG does not require an interview session with me! Good for me but then again, wasted as i wont have the chance to apply my acquired knowledge to see if the contents of the book are really useful. Ask me for it if you think you suck at interviews aye. I'll gladly lend this book to you---prolly after laughing at you for being an interview loser. HAHA. no la chey.
The last book " korean essential phrase book". I bought it cos i thought i would be going for a South Korean Exchange Programme earlier which apparently didnt materialise. Nth much and doesnt really help me understand or speak korean fluently. Get it from me if u are a korean drama fanatic. it might help you understand common words and phrases. However, when i make any last minute decisions not to lend it out anymore, please do not ask me why ok. cos i have the right to not provide an explanation! HAHA. whoa whoa whoa, applying what i've learnt fast yeah!?
Ok. moving on to TPSU. Choosing to be a part of TPSU and running for the elections a year back was prolly one of the few decisions that i feel really proud to have made. I knew from the start that things wouldnt be easy for me esp when i'm not really affiliated to TPSU in any ways back then and i merely participated in several events ran by union. I'm glad i stuck through it and i still ran for elections, despite the circumstances and obstacles then.
ok point proven.I successfully and happily and gleefully got elected to be the Honorary Treasurer for tpsu for AY 0708, with the infamous one-hundred-and-fourty-eight-centimetres-t
We had our retreat constantly distracted by Ms Kimberly Chew's constant 'Meow Meow' which i think she thinks its damn cool then. =P
So, our first event was our Annual General Meeting 2007. I'll let the photos do the talking.
We also had an exco steamboat outing at marina bay. Its no longer there though.
To achieve the best effect, first, take a look at the humongous clamp and then take a look at HAKIM'S classic expression. I think he is
aww-ed by the relative huge size of the clamp as compared to the other clamps. He seem to be saying "OMFG, IS THIS FOR REAL?" hahaha.
Then it was Orientation Training Camp 2007
Ohmy, look at John's ugly hair. My sympathy goes all out for him. I think that noobshit must be on the verge of crying after realising that the hairdresser caused an empty patch on his head. =P
Then it comes Temasek Polytechnic Dinner & Dance 2008. Jingwen and i, tgt with the whole dnd comm worked our asses off for this event. Which i believe ended with great successes. WE WORKED OUR ASSES OFF. So tell us that you enjoyed the event tremendously or the event was successful or else dont say anything at all. haa. Pictures!!!
SEEING THAT PEOPLE ENJOYED THE NIGHT AND THEIR HAPPY FACES. OHMYGOD. THERE"S JUST THIS WARM FUZZY FEELING GOING ON WITHIN ME.
Some of our many HOT runway models for the night. And that's all for D&D.
Moving on to FOW/C. Spent 6 days working with my FA partner Kim and our empire FYRHTO whom kept their spirits high despite a 5th position in OTC to achieve a1st for FOW and a 3rd for FOC!!
AY 07/08 has been one hell of a fruitful year.
This new AY, AY0809. I 've gotten myself a new designation: Honorary General Secretary working alongside with the authentic shortest in SU, one-hundred-and-fourty-six-centimetres-t
OMG. THIS IS SO SUPER RIDICULOUS. TELL ME IF U ARE LAUGHING. COS I AM. HAHAHAHAHA!
Hmmm, napfa coming real soon! Gotta really build up my stamina. Running anyone?
Went for Amy's birthday party at her house last sat, and as usual,
the few of us (Amy, Jimmy, wenna, yutian, benchow, geepeng, john, maybelle, ChouKin, Eileen, Shihan, wenghao and myself), decided to stay over after the party.
The Stayover brings back alot of memories.
Staying over at amy's is like a regular outing for mantiz peeps.
It was also was our first ever mantiz outing.
I remember that the stayover at that time was a day before our week zero orientation and all of us (freshies then) went for our respective school's orientation like panda's the next day, falling asleep while learning the handsign song.
Within a blink of an eye, all of us are now in our final year and most of our GLs had graduated.
I'm really glad to be able to catch up with all the people that i've not seen for quite some time.
and i'm sure all 13 of us that stayed-over had fun.
And so, it hit me that my life in tp is 2/3 over and that it was like moments ago when i was still a freshie,
it was like yesterday night when i just had my 1st stayover at amy's house.
it was like yesterday when i met all these wonderful people from mantiz, both GLs and fellow freshies.
It was like yesterday when i just entered tp as a freshman.
Everything was like yesterday as memories came flooding back.
I really hope there'll be more of such stayovers!
and that all of us will still continue to keep in touch despite going our seperate ways after graduation.
And yes we're going to get new havaianas next weekend!
Ok bye.
and it was really good. Both the movie and the company.
Big fighting scenes , huge actions and good effects are really my kind of movies, just like Lotr and Troy.
We wanted to catch the panda show at 1st
but cos i have to get back to school by 6 for the internal voting,
we have not much choices and the slot that is most convenient for us which will allow us to get back in school on time will be Narnia. We're like 1/2 hour late for the movie cos we bought the 3.30pm slot movie tickets at 3.55pm.
The movie was damn long huh. it ended at like 6.05pm and the moment the credits start showing, the 4 of us ran out of the cinema all the way to the 1st floor and hopped on a cab back to school.
As much as i didnt want to be late for the 1st SU meeting for the year, i was late by 10minutes or so. But it doesnt matter! Cos when i arrive, no one was in the meeting room yet! haha, as usual.
Anyway, internal voting was really quite exciting and laughable.
Hearing how some current excos like chris make their statement. lol. cmi really. HAHA
and then when we asked zain if he wanted to second somebody, he anxiously replied "no no, i want pub"
everyone was like stunned for 5 seconds before we burst out laughing. HIMBO la zain. hahaha
Anyway, the final results are out and i got myself the position i wanted:
Honorary General Secretary for TPSU AY08/09.
i look forward to a fun filled year of minutes writing. =.=''.
I'm not sure if i'll be able to get used to the switch, from all the PVs to all the minutes,
it takes time i guess! and m01 changed to n01.
and my gmail account changed too. no longer 'fin' but 'hongen'.
so much change to readapt to.
Have a nice day.
ok bye.
I swear the atmosphere was damn damn nerve wrecking.
Not so much on whether i'll get in,
rather, its more of who makes the 13 this AY.
i guess anyone who was present could tell i was nervous.
despite the overwhelming number of people squeezing in the lounge,
fighting for whats left of the little amount of oxygen
and at the same time emitting tremendous waves of body heat,
My HANDS were still icy. =.=''
So, Before the election results were out,
Geraldine and i decided to have a mini game.
We wrote on a piece of paper,
the order of the nominees raking from the highest to the lowest in terms of number of votes.
We then folded the paper and awaited for the results anxiously.
So now, to the results. I got a total of 512 votes.
Placing myself 5th of the 13 positions. A considerable jump from last year.
A big thank you to all 512 who voted for me.
THANK YOU!!
Whoever you are, even if i dont know you in person,
Please do let me know if u have voted for me if u see me around in school somewhere.
I would like to thank each and everyone of you who voted for me personally. ")
Also, many thanks to all those whom helped me along the way,
those whom showed me encouragement and recognition, telling me that i could do it
For the people whom cheered for me when my name was called before the release of my number of votes,
just wanna let u all know that it means alot to me. really alot.
it shows me that the one year of work has paid off, and that i've gained the acknowledgement from all of you.
Special thanks to (in no particular order):
Nicholas for the fantabulous job in designing my posters
Jean and Yunru for staying over late at night to help me with my campaign prep
Yutian and Jingwen for coming early in the morning to help with my campaign
Cheryl for offering your help and support
Lyn and Sylvia for rushing down early morning to help me with my campaign
Wan for believing in me and your everlasting support, ever since i first decided to run last year.
Shep for your help in the publicity stunt and rally. U rock! ahahha
and everyone else whom helped me in a way or another like helping me pull votes from blogs etc.
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you
Moving on,
Congratulations to the other 12 whom made it to the comm.
Brandon, Tat yi, John, Kah Yuen, Claudine, Geraldine, Gideon, Ella, Chris, Emilla, Yvonne and Zain
I hope that all 13 of us could cast aside all our differences and work well tgt.
Its going to be hell of a journey and
Lets make AY 08/09 a blast.!!!
Ohya, continuing from my above point on the mini game geraldine and i had.
It was totally bull. I'm a lousy predictor.
Nominees who got in were correct but the rankings i forecasted were 90% WRONG.
So much for "more than 8 correct will win toto".
I'm so not destined to profit from gambling i tell u.
Lost in Mahjong and blackjack recently. ZZZZZ
haha anyway, before i digress too far away,
i better settle down and prepare for my MIDSEMS.
Before i go off. a big THANK YOU to everyone who helped and voted for me once again. I really appreciate it ALOT. ")
KBYE.
When i viewed this video, it hit something in me. sigh. memories.
Finally back after quite some time!
As most of you would have alr know, the students' elections is back again!
As usual, i'll be going for UNION (TPSU) and I need as much support as i can garner!
So to help me, you can do one of the following or both:
-Help me spread the word that i'm running for TPSU
-Gather as many friends as possible and head down to Cyber Centre from 27th-29th May 2008
(30th May for TAS students) (Bring along your matric card) and vote EDWIN SIA for TPSU!! WHOO!!
U'd probably see these posters around school:
They serve as a reminder! hahahah! So please dont forget to vote!!!
I know they look quite retarded but dont laugh! Laugh after u vote! ")
FOR BUSINESS STUDENTS, PLEASE VOTE: MAYBELLE, JIAMIN, JO-AN, LIYI AND LOU-LIN for BSC!!!
Yesterday, i finally received dnd photos from Visual Central.
Rushed off from school, wanting to go home asap to view the photos (DVD-R).
Halfway home, i realise i left my external hard disk in the lounge,
so i made my way back and got engrossed in reading Sarah's mail about the 'ah beng'
and i left the lounge without my hard disk, only to realise when i got home. annoying shit.
Well, to comfort myself, at least i have the dvd filled with pictures with me.
But, to my utter dismay, there seem to be some problem with my dvd drive and i cant load the dvd at all.
Its damn dissapointing, after waiting so long, still have to wait. blah.
So, with the undying attitude, i decided to get myself some solution!
and i got myself from my dad, his external dvd drive. and it works!
hahaha. so i got to view the photos. but still withouht the remaining photos in my ex-hard disk, left in the lounge,
i cant do a proper blog entry about dnd. Hah.
Well, at least i can complete my dnd project report ( a report for the closure of each project).
But still.....ok next!
So by now, some would have known that i've decided to go for the elections once again.
it took quite some weighing of priorities here and there, getting opinions all. Tiring.
Its probably one of the only times after so long that i actually talked on the phone for hours non-stop.
I just needed to hear it from the rest. assurance i meant.
Gotten feedbacks here and there, but i still know that ultimately, its what i want that matters.
so yada yada and i came to a decision. TO RUN. so please support. thanks.
For those who know, i really really hope that i could have the opportunity to be a GL again.
ok, not so much of the opportunity but the choices and options i made does not allow that to happen.
i'm crying inside la. everytime i see empires so bonded, i cant help but think about when i used to be a Kaistor GL.
Those times are precious. Kaistor rocks my socks, till they got holes. Like really. Those 6 days were the time of my life.
And so, after so long of not updating this pathetic journal of mine, what makes me decide to post an entry again?
A picture of kaistor. Yes, as meagre as it may sound. yes its because of a photo.
I came across this photo on LZP's lj, and i had this sudden surge of mixed emotions.
Suddenly i question myself again, whether or not i should run for union,
but i know that that should not be a major deciding factor for the running for union.
But i just cant help it, thinking that if i do get one of the 13 seats in union, i can never be a GL ever again.
sigh sigh sigh sigh...... The working tgt, play hard work hard cry hard laugh hard cheer hard all.....arrghhh
ok, i need to stop.
moving on. yesterday (30/4/08) is our official last day of office. how sad. Its been one hell of a year.
the 13 of us had gone through so much tgt, so much such that i do sometimes have nightmares of them.
Ok la, dreams also have la, but i betcha u all dont know. ahhahaha. once again, sigh sigh sigh sigh.
no point dwelling on it, afterall, our ay (07/08) has come to a fruitful close.
Its time for the 13 of us to part as a committee but i'm sure our bond will last. I'm sure.
I shall stop now else some noobshit start crying again if HE ever visits.
I can almost feel it coming. Graduation is so near, my last ever FO in TP is so near.
Walking along business school as a senior feels weird. 3 years is gonna pass so damn fast.
It has indeed been a long journey. From a Freshie in Mantiz to a GL in Kaistor and to an FA for Fyrhto.
Whatever decision i've made, i do hope i wont have any regrets. really.
I havent been able to find time (or i'm just lazy) to do up a proper pictorial post for DND as well as one for FO. i do hope i'll do it soon ") stay tuned!!
Before i end off, i have this little section dedicated to my beloved 12 excos. Wanna let u all know that it's been a really wonderful year working with all of you guys and please continue to meet up and all. AY might be over but i hope we still keep in touch!
BYE.
