I'm having my mid-term holidays. 2 weeks; full of projects and doing other stuff. Speaking of projects, I'm having problems with my group mates. AGAIN. This time round, it's something that I do not wish to reveal as it might offend people reading this. SO, to save my ass, I shall keep quiet. IT'S HORRIBLY demoralizing.

Anyway, I started off my holidays with a big BANG! Literally! It's not a figure of speech. It all went like this:

It was a Friday afternoon. Raining. I was in the bus from Vivo. I was sitting at the upper deck at the front seat. The bus was going quite fast for a rainy day. Good in a way I can be home faster. But the bad part is about to happen. When I was along Serangoon Rd, I saw this tree branch hanging quite low. I thought to myself, the bus is gonna hit the branch. Apparently, it didn't stop. The next thing I knew, I shielded myself with my bag and the very next moment, BANG!!! I was just waiting for the branch to hit me. I really thought I was going to die. When the bus jerked to a stop, I saw the window broke and the glass all shattered onto my bag, both my arms and my suit cover. I even had glass fragments on my feet. I shivered and was so close to tears as I was THANKFUL that GOD spared my LIFE!! Thank GOD that I didn't faint. I was so traumatized for 5 mins. The bus driver just said SORRY and distributed COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS FOR THE DAY. ARGH!! DAMMIT!!! As I got off the bus, my right toe hurt and bleed. I went to find a seat and took out a piece of glass stuck in my toe. Luckily I managed to get it out. If not, I don't know what will happened. The funny thing was before the accident happen, I was listening to Jesse McCartney's Leavin - the part where he goes "Don't Stress...Don't stress...Don't Stress..." BANG!!! What a coincidence. HA! I even had the time to take some pictures as proof and memories for me that I was THIS close to Death. I'm indebted to GOD! That's for sure!

This was how it looked like:
The LEFT side of the seat was where I was sitting.


The broken window


Notice how if the branch were to pierce through? GOSH.


Tuesday (3 June) Went out with Trish, Kelly and Durga. Didn't watch movie. Just had dinner and walked around Bugis Village. When Trish and I met Durga, she needed to buy shoes as the one she was wearing was killing her. I cold see she was in pain. Aww..Kelly was an hour late. Nothing new from her. Heheh!!! Had KFC for dinner. Kelly had a wonderful consultation regarding How to Give a Good Presentation; courtesy from the VERY BEST Undiscovered Talented Consultants - Dr. Trish (M.B.B.S in Mass Communication) and DR. Durga (Ph.D certified in Insurance Advisor). It's a one-time opportunity for Kelly as these 2 consultants are very BUSY with their Daily Schedules and it was very GRACIOUS of them to spare some time for Kelly. Plus, IT's FREE!! Haha!

Before we left, we took some pictures in front of Goldheart Jewelry Shop. People passing by were staring at us.

Durga and Me.


Trish and Me. I'm terrible on Camera.


Kelly and Me. A bit blur. Hehe!


That's about it. Note to Trish, Durga and Kelly: "Please upload the other pictures. I want them. Thanks!"

Here I am updating. Instead of doing my projects that are haunting me everyday. HECK!

Anyway, currently studying in TAS is kind of a hassle. But never mind, I shall deal with it. I'm getting use to the pace of life there. Got comfortable with the times that I have to wake up and anticipating the jams or arrival of the Sentosa Express.

Right now, my class have held the record for chasing the teachers out. One was our Entrepreneur tutor Ms Maggie. She is the most fiercest tutor in TAS. Her motto, "My mood depends on the students." So, if she's in a very bad mood, don't bother talking to her as you'll never know when she might blow up on you. So, avoid her at all cost when she's angry. Well, she walked out the class becoz one of the guy tried to prove her wrong (can't remember the exact cause). Before she walked out, she banged the table with her file and screaming at that guy until her voice was almost gone. I could sensed that she was about to cry but she tried to hold it in. It was sad that my class made her go out and almost made her cry. Gosh!!

Next, we made our Care Person a.k.a Form teacher out during our tutorial. Reason being, my group was too noisy and that no one wanted to present the debate. Also, the next group drew some obscene stuff on the flip chart for the debate. He got so angry and walked out of the class saying "We should be more professional and respect the teachers here. And turn off the air-con when you leave". Some of my classmates went to chase after him to apologize but he ignored them. They even called his hp and he purposely ignore it. So, the whole class decided to write an apology letter to him. The next day, he came and told us that we shouldn't behaved that way and he thought the letter was interesting. Whatever.

Then my class joked about who's gonna be the next victim. Right. I'm quite surprised that such things are coming from them. I mean, I won't be surprised if it's from ITE students. BUT Even ITE Students we were before, but we never went to SUCH extent. What do you say ISF? Hahah!!! No matter how irritating we were, no matter how the teachers HATE us, we were still playful and the teachers miss us now. Hah!

Anyway, here are some pics of TAS. Enjoy.

Part of the COMPUTER LAB.


The connection between the Sentosa Express carriage.


This weird 'Tree-house' in front of every block. Don't know what it's for.


End of the Library. They call it Resource Centre. Taken at 9:20 am. Peaceful. But not till 12 noon. Socialize area. Haha!!


The Shelves.

MORE PICS SOON!!!

Apologies for my LONG absence. Been pretty busy lately the week before school starts. Actually, today is the 2nd day of school. At Sentosa.

I have mixed feelings about this whole Sentosa thingy. First of all is Distance. Yes I know, I shouldn't complain since complaining will never resolve any of this. So, I just have to let this out. Ok. The journey from my house to Sentosa is atrociously pain in the ASS! Why? Imagine this, waiting for bus 65 for 10-15 mins everyday (Not including rainy days, God knows how long more it'll take). Then, the bus ride to Vivo will take a good 45 mins to an hour (If the bus driver is such a sucker! Who have to stop at every Traffic light!). Once at Vivo, take the Monorail Express which will take a good 10mins. Lastly, the walk to the school is around 5mins max. Overall, you do the math. Distance.

Next is Food. I know..I know...I wonder what my life would be without food. So, at school, there's this small 'canteen' (the teachers called it) but I think it's more like a cafeteria with alfresco dining. I've yet to discover the 'canteen'. If they don't sell anything nice, I'm gonna hate it.

Third, Security. Now, I'm not saying that there's a guard at the entrance and we students have to undergo screen checks everytime we arrive. But guess what? There's a number code when we want to enter the TOILETS! IMAGINE that!! Oh! Plus! The lecturers and tutors have a different set of numbers from students! OMFG!!! I was wondering, if the lecturers get gold plated toilet seats and sinks when they enter the same toilet as the students, just because they have a different set of numbers! WOW! Really 'amazing'!

Lastly, TimeTable. Apparaently, I'm content with my timetable. Most of the days, I end at 3pm. But the down side of it is, I have to start at 9am. I still have 2hrs break in between lessons, which kind of suck as there's nothing interesting to roam around at Sentosa within such a short time frame. So, I wouldn't risk it. Therefore, I've decided that I'll either be in the Computer Lab doing absolutely NOTHING! or I could just be sitting around with the perpetual praying mantis sound and stone like a zombie. Interesting.

More updates and some pics of the school. :)

I took a look at how the video for the previous entry. It turned out that there's the video PLUS another duplicate. I have no idea why. Hmm...Need help. It looked OK when I "Preview" it in blogger. But when I publish it, this happen. So, I really don't know what to do. Help? Thanks.

Anyway, in the midst of typing this entry. I was just browsing through this website : omg.yahoo.com. This site has tonnes of pics of celebrities and stories about them. I'm kind of hooked to it as we'll never get them here. Locally. Either you'll have to buy US and People mags imported from the US, which gonna cost us a bomb. So why bother when you can get it for FREE? Aaahh....!!! the wonders of Technology these days. :)

So, this afternoon Kelly and I went to East Coast Park. When we reached there, the weather was showing signs of raining - Dark clouds, occasional winds and droplets of rain.

Our main agenda was to rent a 2-seater bicycle and explore the place, since we didn't have the time the other day that we went plus, Kelly couldn't ride a bike yet. However, due to the bad weather we were indecisive about renting the bike. Both of us felt wasted coming all the way to East Coast. Nevertheless, we took a risk by going ahead with the renting. It cost us $4 each. (2hrs + 2 water free). Cool.

Here's the pic of the bicycle.


There's 3 Possibilities why Kelly covered her face.
1) The SUDDEN feeling of being SHY (apparently she's NOT!)
2) Protecting her face from the Sun (It wasn't that HOT)
3) She's digging her nose for some TREASURES! (LOL!) :)


Nice pic of us. ALL SMILES...


Rina: GOSH!!! KELLY FARTED!!!!
Kelly: NO!! It wasn't me... (or was it?)


After that, we rode all the way to the SEAFOOD CENTRE. Came across this huge sandcastle. Further ahead, we saw many "Yellow People" running. Turn out to be the ARMY boys training. From far they look like a swamp of bees... After that, we reached
here.


We went in to take a look.


Pic of us.
My hair at the back look like a duck's backside. Hee..
Kelly is holding her breath. Hehe..


That's about it. Our day at the Beach.
We really got NOTHING to do. Hehe!!

It's already April. That means 1 thing - School is starting soon and I'm clearly not looking forward to it. Speaking of April, I've been fooled by my mum. She called my brother and I to see that there's a crazy "Ah Pek" at the Lift. I was so eager and rushed to the gate. When I was at the gate, I saw no one and my mum suddenly shouted "APRIL FOOL!!!" Damn!!!

Right now it's pouring HEAVILY. It's so HEAVY until I could not even see the next block. It's all Blur... WOW. Guess this rain will last for quite a while. OMG. There's children playing at the playground in the rain! GOSH! I mean I love to do that too, but not when there's lightning every few minutes. GOD! Are they insane or something?

Anyway, that's all for now.

Wait. Check out the video. My first time. Hehe!! Will have a better one next time.

I swear I have something to write about for this entry and the moment I logged on to the computer, my mind just went blank. I just hate it when this happens. Maybe it's just me. Damn. Let's call it the Mind-goes-blank syndrome. Yeah. It happens when your mind suddenly goes blank. Hmm..any remedies? Hehe!

Ah well, guess have to wait till I log off this computer then the idea will come back. And by that time, I will have no mood to on the computer again. Trust me. Till then, I guess you'll have to wait a couple more days to find out my purpose of blogging today. Which I'm sure I will never recall it again. So don't bother wait for it. Maybe it's nothing important.

See you!

Today's whether is very very unpredictable. One moment it looked like it's gonna rain, the next moment, Sun shining brightly. Even the MET station predict that there'll be flash floods and raining in most areas. I've been waiting, but not a single drop of rain fell. GREAT! I went to National Library this afternoon. In the bus, I could see grey clouds gathered near Suntec area. I guessed it's gonna pour soon. After spending quite a long time in the library, thinking that maybe the rain already stopped. But guess what? It was DRY outside! Gosh! Make me bring such a big umbrella for nothing. Never mind.

As usual, I have nothing to do at home. Other than staring at the computer or sleep. SO BORING. Plus, tomorrow I will be visiting my uncle - from my dad's side - at SGH. He's better now. Only thing is that his Right side is very weak. Hope he recovers fast.

Speaking of tomorrow, there'll be AI - American Idol. I'm NOT satisfied with the results last week. Amanda Overmyer got voted off. The Rocker Nurse. DAMN! I mean, all the judges seemed to be praising her about her being very authentic about her singing and her style stuff like that. For me it's good to see a different side of AI. A breath of fresh air. But No... ppl prefer those who are popular. I dun know lah. I'm just enjoying the fun. At least I have some TV shows to watch, other than rotting myself. HEHe!!

As of this moment, I'm waiting for my mum who's in the toilet - showering. Both my dad and brother are out. It's a good thing. At least there's peace in the house and there'll be light. If my dad is home, my house will be in the dark by 9:30pm. Save Electricity. Plus, my dad will be sleeping already. Don't ask me why. It's a LONG, WINDING, BORING AND MISERABLE STORY. So, let's keep it as it is.

Ok! Done! My mum's out! My turn now! Hehe!!
