And its gonna be the start of school again =(

Project assignment deadlines are approaching.
Midterm tests awaiting my feeble and desperate attempts, (as always huh?).
My impending doom is just round the corner.
Perhaps i should slow down the pace of entering "that corner"
and maybe, (well just maybe) i could even DRIFT through it - unscathed.
Alrights...i know. Too much F1 over this weekend.

Caught a glimpse of the F1 action on Friday night.
On my way to Suntec City, i HEARD the action.
Yes, your eyes aint playing tricks on you.

READ CAREFULLY

HEARD. not SAW.

Because the racers practically zoomed past in a FLASH
And i only caught a glimpse.
I saw more smoke than anything else.
And the sound of tyres screeching and zipping by were DEAFENING.
For once, i understood the real meaning of DEAFENING.
Sounds loud enough to cause your ear drums to ache.
It was so loud that the sounds resonate within Marina Square!!!
like....ROAR!!!!!

And i've got loads of pictures from dinner =)

Here they are!!!

Friday - 25/09/08


Met up with Fish, Tay and Sam for dinner. Fish and Tay wanted to give us a treat for our B'day that's approaching. =)

Sam turns 22 on 27th September
Gary turns 22 on 30th September

And so, we made our way to Amici, an Italian Eatery located at Holland Village. It was a small, but really cozy place, and when we reached, we had to wait for our table due to the crowd. But it was only a 15 mins wait. We then went in, and decided on what to order while waiting for the TAY.

He was coming down from work.

At about 8.30pm, in walks an executive-looking dude.












Sam had a discount card which offers 2 main course free with every 4 purchased. This card came along with a voucher for a free bottle of either red or white wine. And we chose Red wine =) did some catching up with each other and BOY!!! TAY did a SHOCKER to us!!!




Mambo Night - 24/09/08
























































Updates Updates Updates!

I've just finished watching Episode 4 of Gossip Girl - The Ex Files.

And....BOY!

Break-ups can never be amicable, can they?

There aint such a thing as an amicable break-up.

Even if initially it was a mutual agreement, and you thought everything would be fine with both parties finally being able to move on with their current lives, things would just start to take a turn for the worse at this point. Close friends of either party would start poking their noses into matters, taking things into their own hands, thinking that they know what's best for their friends. Just like how Blair tried to make life difficult for the new girl, Amanda.

Dan: Google revenge and you get BlairWaldorf.com.

(LOL...when Dan said that.)

Not forgetting that manipulative Chuck Bass. And i was starting to adore him before this episode. =(

But i still like his character lah ^^


Okays..on to happier things...



Peek-tures from Saturday (Phuture)















Had TS mid term paper the next day.
Can u believe it? First day of Recess Week!!! =(
I studied on the morning itself. Too tired to study.
Thankfully i've got nice friends who filled me in on what to study. =)
Heng....Tricia asked me about Plato's "imitation of an imitation"
And Cherlyn tell me wrong answer lah...the meaning of "Er-dunno-what-horizont"
She told me it was "the aesthetics of the audience response"
Its supposed to be...erm..i forgot what...just not "the aesthetics of the audience response"





Whole Weekend of Fun!!!

Great...I'm back home

Had 5 hrs of beauty sleep after Phuture-ing last night.

Got into bed - 5am.

Woke up...11am...supposed to be 10.30, but i snoozed the alarm and went back to lala land.

Was LATE for work at Kiehls today.

And i went for a play, BOOM! With the TS people! =)

Shall update with the pictures once i get them from Tricia and ,i think, Jamie.

I enjoyed it! Though i was damn tired.

Caixia (Cath) keeps SQUASHING MY FACE.

Yuyang keeps FLATTENING my hair.

In Phuture, and even today, after BOOM.

I swear my cheeks hurt, after last night.





And now for the results of my IPPT test on Saturday!!!

Ti Gong replied my letter with an email.

Here's the details of that email...




From: ti-gong@celestialpalace.org.upstairs
To: wobuhouhui_7@hotmail.com (Gary)
CC: saf@ns.org.sg




Dearest Gary,

I've received your Letter of Desperation on Friday, 19/09/2008

(marked with *High Importance*), and from it, I can sense the genuine and heartfelt sincerity coming from

you. Besides this, I've also learned that you have specially made time to train hard for your IPPT just barely 3

days before (jogging on Wednesday, plus the effort to do pull ups) the Test, which makes me kinda admire your

confidence, having the utmost belief in yourself that you can make it for a Silver in such a short period of time.

And such confidence and faith, i assure you, begets promising returns.. So just go ahead and do what you need

to do for the IPPT Test on Saturday. Leave the rest to me.














I'll Be Phuture-ing tonight!

=)

Shall Update my IPPT Results when i get back!

Till then...Have a great night! ^^

AAAHHHH! My IPPT is on this coming Saturday!

I am starting to panic.

Last night, i decided to go for a light jog around my estate.

It was about 8pm when i changed and left home.

As i headed for the park behind my block, i felt a strong reluctance to move my feet beyond "walking" pace.

My legs have never felt so heavy before. It's almost as if there were weights strapped to it, making it seem like lifting those feet any higher than usual walking motion was a chore.

"I've gotta start running." I told myself, or "i'll never make it for my 2.4km run on Saturday."

Reluctantly, i dragged my weight-laden feet and started to trudge forward.

"Good, at least i'm beyond walking now."

And (surprise surprise!) i started to pick up pace.

Boy...running never felt so good!

Feeling the cool night breeze brushing past my cheeks was kinda refreshing.

I ran to the park where the pull up bars were.

I clung onto the bars and hung there for a moment.

Then i tried to pull as many as i could.

And when i barely reached 7, i felt like my arms were about to give way!!!

OMG...i needed 8 pull ups to get a Silver!!!!

I WANT A SILVER!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!

*struggling like mad* i mustered all my remaining strength and pulled like there's no tomorrow.

*Wheww* I felt an immediate sign of comfort and relief when i saw my chin going beyond the bar, for the 8th time.

Satisfied with my effort (haha...what effort?), i continued with my run.

I had initially wanted to run around the park, but then i thought that it was kinda boring running in circles, so i just ran towards the overhead bridge leading to NUS.

And before i knew it, i was running to school. I ran till i reached the central library, and i was kinda happy to see what school was like after dark. I saw many other joggers along the way, and there were still plenty of students in school despite it being 8 plus. I guess its just me, as i don't really enjoy staying in school till such hours.

Had a 3 min toilet break at the central library toilet, checking to see whether my hair were in the right places. (some strands have to be on this side, while others on the other side of the parting)

=)

LoL...feeling energised and refreshed after that narcissistic toilet session, i resume my run back home. BOY...its further than i thought...and i am starting to feel the strain on my legs.

The run back wasn't much of a problem,

UNTIL I REACH THE OVERHEAD BRIDGE [-_____-]

MY GOD! I practically mounted the steps with the aid of the railings, ALL THE WAY UP!

Dang!!! Tired me....but i decided to be discipline and since i'm already so "cui"

I continued to do my 2nd set of pull ups.

And guess what?!

i managed to do 9!!! =)

Hehe...so happy!!! And i went home a happy tofuboy! ^____^

I'm gonna jog again on Wednesday night!




































We had a friendly volleyball match with a bunch of Fuhua secondary school students.
And it was kinda fun. Because there was a catch to it.
The losing team had to become "muah chee".
And in case you people aint sure of what "muah chee" is, it basically refers to the human body being soaked to the skin, and then being "marinated" by rolling over the sand with the wet body. Now that's what you call YUMMY! =)



























Thursday 11/09/08

Had a damn long day in school.
My 2nd time staying back so late
This time, its completing my NM2220 assignment.

LSM Lecture ended at 3.30pm
Met Kjan at YIH to collect his new laptop
that his dad bought using my student account
caught up with him for awhile =)

Was on the way to Deck to meet Xin Le to study
Bump into Fransca and Jia Hwa at the Deck
Been damn long since i talked to Fransca
And we just updated each other on our present lives
She's having it good, from what she told me.
Happy for her...finally she's with someone GOOD

Then i proceeded to find Xin Le at the staircase near BK.
She was with Celeste and Alvin and some others that i didn't know
And we moved up to the Air-con area to do our work.
She did her revision, i did my assignment.

And it sucks doing last minute work. Really.

Celeste joined us later, and 3 of us TRIED to do our work.
But we just ended up talking. Actually I was seriously doing my work.
Xin Le and Celeste just kept talking. But i was good.
And serious. I did my work, dutifully.
And i am damn proud of it =) Give me a tap on my shoulder k. THKS!

Then, Carmenlita (is that how its spelt?) came too.
Friend of Xin Le and Celeste. MY GOD!
She's even more talkative than those two!
And u might have guessed, those 3 just kept rambling on and on.
HAHAHA. And i was still DOING my work. =)

It was approaching 7pm, and we decided to fill our hungry stomachs
None of us have actually tried the Sichuan Hotpot
So that was our dinner for that day! Only $5!
But then...i think the soup stock is damn salty.
MSG machiam free la! zzZZ
And Carmenlita was like "Wah..damn nice...super nice...!!!"
And she add soup, add rice and add "fire"
Everything also add! LOL...What a funny girl!

We finally had our fill, and we went back to our books
But apparently, i guess its the "hotpot" syndrome
the girls just kept laughing non stop
and can't seem to concentrate on their revision
Xin Le started singing, and Celeste recording the song on her Laptop
And then Celeste joined in too. -____-

We talked crap after that...and i was figured to be worth 20 cents! =(
Carmenlita ask if i would marry her for 10 cents
And i bargained for 20 cents. -___-
Stupid Me...
Actually i wanted to say
"I give u 20 cents to not ask me that question can?"
But like very bad...whahaha ^____^

Before long, it was already 9.30pm! Time to go home!
I was super lethargic already lah.
Xin Le's parents came to fetch her home, and guess what?
We were given a lift! Actually i only got a lift to "Science"
And then i walked home. Anyway, its only 10 mins =)

That marks my 2nd longest duration spent in school!!!

Friday 12/09/08

Boring Day i've had.

Went to school to hand in my assigment
A hard copy was required, so i had to waste time going to school
When Friday was supposed to be my FREE DAY!

Then went to tutor Hamburger and Stella

Met Sarah in town at 7.30pm
And we shopped around for Samuel's B'day present
His birthday is pretty close to mine.
In fact, 3 days ahead, 27/09
While Tommy's one is on the 29th.

MINE is on the 30th of September!!!

Do take note kays =) hehehe...

Well, we managed to buy his gift
And sam, hope you'll like it.
Sarah and I chose your present.
Don't like then TOO BAD! ^^

Haha...anyway, Sarah and i went to meet up with the Kiehl's boys
Had dinner at Suntec's Just Noodle
Paul, Justin, Edwin, Johnathon were also there.
Ooooh plus Jolin.
Whom we presumed was Johnathon's scandal.
Or maybe Johnathon was Jolin's scandal.
Eh..actually both ways are the same. ^^

We went for a game of bowling after dinner
Oh MY....its a good feeling to bowl again after so long
And Sarah's wearing her lucky skirt.
She has the top score today, 144 and 133 respectively.
I needa polish my bowling skills after today.
I'll be back SARAH!!! =)

Tired but eventful day.
A boring start yet ending wonderfully.

^________________^



Time passes so slowly, and i've only just managed to get past Monday and today =(
Completed my 1st interactive media project and submitted it.

Scratch - That's the name of the program used.

If you guys are interested to download the program, here's the link!

SCRATCH DOWNLOAD SITE

Feels so good after completing the assignment!

Exhilarating sense of accomplishment, not because it was a tough assignment.

Rather, it's because Tofuboy is usually too slack to start on his school assignments.

And today, he did it!

Last night to be exact =)

Here's a couple of pictures of the finished product. Its damn cute can.









Saturday 06/09/2008

Rise and Shine!!!

Woke up bright and early on a Saturday MORNING, struggling to drag my weary, aching body outta my bed. I've really forgotten when was the last time i slept in till noon, and spending the whole day rotting at home. The feeling of lazing the day away somehow always rejuvenates me, relieving the monotony of everyday life.

No school
No tuition lessons
No work
No town
No clubbing
No movie-going.

Just simply, no agenda at all for the day.

Yes, that would be extremely boring, but i guess the occasional boredom really helps to unwind and rejuvenates the body's mental state, refreshing one psychologically before the whole monotonous cycle starts again. Well, i doubt my grueling schedule allows me this comfort of lazing and rotting my day away. Coz even if there is no school, there's always tuition, or working at Kiehls on the weekends. Even though i've already decided to work lesser at Kiehls, (only gonna work on sundays) I still find it kinda tough to make time for ME, MYSELF and I. Its never gonna be easy finding the perfect balance between time spent with friends. All of us are kept occupied with different events happening in our lives, and arranging a perfect time slot to meet up with old friends always seemed to be an insurmountable task, coz there will always be at least one person who cannot accomodate a designated time/day due to clashes with dates or school work, which is kinda sad, coz i always look forward to such catch-ups where we exchange updates about our current lives.

=(

Was supposed to meet up with the Gappies, but it was canceled last minute due to unforeseen circumstances (probably due to one of those reasons as mentioned above). Nevertheless, i do look forward to the next Gappies gathering.

Thank you Ru Ai for always taking the effort to organise our meet-ups despite your busy schedule. =)

Hmmm...though i din managed to meet up with the Gappies, i did get to spend time with the Kiehls guys on Saturday, at Sentosa! It was initially planned as a farewell outing for one of the Kiehls boy, Yaohui, but in the end, i guess he himself didn't feel like joining us. It's kinda distressing to know that, after all, this Sentosa trip was meant to celebrate his last few days of freedom as Yaohui was due for enlistment into serving his nation on the 10th of September. Edwin was another disappointment, as he "pang seh" us on friday night. Apparently, William received an sms from Edwin on friday night, which goes like this,

Edwin: Heys William, i've got a headache, so i don't think i can go Sentosa tmr.

When William told us about it, i was like...

-____-

Like what the fuck right???

I mean, we are not forcing you to join us. But seriously, your lack of effort to even find a decent excuse totally insulted our intelligence. Even a primary school kid can lie better these days, and you'll be amazed at the lengths that they would go to sustain that little lie. They'll not hesistate to fabricate even more tall tales to substantiate the initial lie, and at least, they even made the effort to make that lie worth believing, to the extent that you would just say,

"okay, i'll let it pass this time round since you made such desperate attempts to sound convincing, you must really have some compelling reasons to lie in the first place."

But NO, "i've got a headache" surely does not sound convincing.

Alrights, i admit, i am quite anal about this issue, but i don't care. I just wanna speak my mind.

Still, we had a pretty enjoyable day at the beach, playing volleyball and and basking in the sun.

Shall upload more photos and tell more about the Sentosa trip once William has uploaded the pictures. =) Not gonna let insincere people spoil my day!

Gotta go about with one of my weekly tasks - Tuition at Anchorage

Cya! ^^
