ahh.. the last post of the year... soon, it'll be the year 2010.. how time flies.. 10 years ago, i've just finished primary school, went on a holiday trip (cruise) with the school (boy it was fun).. sat for the first major exams in my life.. said goodbye to many of the primary school friends and schoolmates... never meeting some of them again.. went through the whole process of new school and new level of education again.. new friends.. new subjects (many more new subjects) ah the joys of secondary education... that was 9 years ago.. 5 years ago i've entered another phase in my student life... where i said goodbye to school uniforms and morning assemblies... welcome to the life of a polytechnic student.. and now at the end of 2009.. i can proudly say that i'm done with student life (not) for now.. graduated from university (the final phase of a student life) and so (not) looking forward for a new phase in life.. the working life.. as 2009 come to an end, so is another closure in my life.. however as a new year comes.. so will a new chapter in my life starts.. new challenges and adventures to forge ahead... Happy New Year!

so many things happened this week... monday, 16 nov, had dinner at shijian's place and played with russell, followed by pancakes manor (since three monkeys were closed).. tuesday, a day where most things happened... since i was bored and the chemistry guys were done with their exams... we (dan and i) last minute decided to go to chermside (since they have yet to go there...) on the way to the bus stop (in the sweltering heat.. read that the highest that day was a mercury bursting 39 degress celcius), i saw some news crew and police... turned out it was a drug bust.. it was also the day i found out one of my grandma passed away... her 5 days wake/funeral ends today.. not that i'm mean but i'm glad she finally passed on... she wont need to suffer anymore since she cant eat and in pain... wednesday came... and well i went for steamboat lunch to celebrate the guys after exams... and went out for darryl's birthday dinner and cloudland.. cloudland is really nice... the toilets are awesome... perfect for camwhoring... the drinks were.. expensive.. and since it was darryl's birthday, we had shooters.. and he brilliantly ordered a drink which i found out was called cock sucking cowboy... -_-||| seriously.. it's nice though.. and not strong at all.. and since the cocktails were expensive... most of us had beer instead... so classy.. haha... meiwen dared darryl to get a girl's number and address.. and.. he really went to the chai and chat her up... amazing.. smooth real smooth.. too bad she's not intersted.. wahaha... thurs came and went.. and its FRIDAY!! whee.. friday is good.. its fun.. just because its the day of the newman and acsa combined ball... as usual, jean and i cam whored.. danced.. eat.. talk.. chill and tried to tie a tie for julian.. wahaha.. cant believe i actually danced the macarena.. well.. it was fun.. haha...

2hours! That's how long it took me to get to Bribie Island... Ok more than that since I left St Lucia at 845am, took the 855am train to Caboolture, and changed to the Bribie Island bus and arrived on the island itself at about 1045.. hey wait, that's 2 hours.. haha... The island itself is nice, well I only travelled to those parts accessible by public transport, so i was at the Bongaree beach area, where the jetty is, facing mainland and Woorim, facing the ocean (I think).. Nice relaxing place... maybe that's why there are plenty of old folks there.. and a retirement village... I actually sat down on the benches and "la liang"... enjoy the breeze... untill I realised I've missed the bus.. After which I took a walk around the Woorim beach... and pick sea shells! Michelle pick sea shells! ok that's lame.. found some interesting ones which looked like a slab.. not a typical shell.. maybe a bone piece? who knows.. I'm not a marine expert.. found a pretty purple shell too.. =D haha.. Oh oh.. at Bongaree beach.. on one of their information boards on the island's heritage, there was a spelling error.. so funny.. they meant to say tree.. but they spell THREE!! lol... Singapore should not complain on their standard of english since it happen to an english speaking country too.. hahahaah....

oooh lala ooh lala ooh lalah!!! it's time to pop the champagne! or maybe not.. Had my final presentation yesterday which is 100% of my seminar and communication module... I tell you, it was nerve wrecking... I already felt the jitters since Wednesday, when Sharna gave her talk... it escalated so bad that when I woke up on Thursday morning, I felt my heart beating really fast! Tried to take a calming walk to school... Breathe in breathe out... slowly.. and then i was in school.. in the seminar room.. counting down to 9am... freaking out... that and to keep reminding myself not to "chase the train".. 9am came.. James was late but I started anyway.. got it done and over with... with questions thankfully I think I can answer... and finally after Karl did his presentation.. IT'S ALL OVER for the 10 of us! ok more like 4 of us since the other 6 did their presentations on Wednesday.. Still waiting for the unofficial release of results... bummer...
