It's either something wrong with my passbook records or my maths simply sucks.

I spent about half hour today to do an accounting update my bank account and no matter how I calculated I couldn't balance up everything. Where is the problem? I can't seem to figure it out.

arghhh....

I applied to work as a tour guide for this year's open house (prays hard that they will select me). I desperately need some money to tide over this semester. But there is a huge crowd with the waiting outside the interview room today, which meant that a lot of people in school are also desperate to earn that money. The competition is stiff this time round. And I always thought that students usually wouldn't pay any attention to this kind of activities. Guess I was wrong.

Money can indeed do wonders.

This has been quite a busy week.

Attended the AIESEC Global Internship Talk at Business School on Tuesday, and I'm super motivated to sign up. But the selection criteria is quite tough, so it might not be that easy to be selected. I'm still contemplating whether to go for Development or Educational Intern though.

Thursday was spent in school trying to appeal for my psychology tutorial. After much discussion, I finally managed to get a desirable slot since wednesday is the only day that I free.

Today is basically experiment day. I did like 4 experiments today and its fun doing all these different tests. But it's not those electrifying tests on your forehead. After this tiring session, I fulfiled like 5 points out of the 12.

By Next week I will complete the entire requirement for the psychology module.

That's all for now, I'm looking forward to my next experiment next wed.

I'm looking for 2 more members to join this, anyone interested? Email me for more details or check out the official site http://www.sgxbusinesscase.sg/. Credits from NUS Investment Group.

There is a recent frenzy for The Golden Path in the mixed rice crew these days. Unfortunately, yesterday night was the last episode, thus this commotion can finally rest in peace.

As to when it started, I couldn't remember for sure, all I know is everyone become so totally obessesd with it, so much so that weird websites like http://ilovegoldenpath.com/ http://bakkugirlchio.com/ http://resurrectionofjingfeng.com/ http://kaijiesuckass.com/ started appearing out of nowhere. Missed out all this crazy stuff, which is quite a relief, because I might just laugh until I drop dead with spasms.

But this excitment didn't just end on that day, we went to this Mickey Mouse restaurant and all that we are concerned with was that the TV was showing High School Musical instead of golden path. Anyway it was fun being young again.

watched movie Cloverfield after that. I shall not comment on the movie though, watch it and judge for yourselves. I personally felt that it was fine, except for the lousy plot. I was actually quite impressed with their media presentation. Somehow everything that I learnt in literature and critical appreciation tells me it is a good attempt at capturing the viewer's attention. But I don't know what the others will feel.

The psychological rejection of school sydrome is back once again.

I actually ponned my economics class today so that I can stay at home and count the number of books I owned on my shelf, arrange the flower in the vase a dozen different ways, start thinking of philosophical questions like "will I be the same "I" if I was born differently?" and of course flip through all my comic collection instead of doing revision. That is definitely something that only bored people will probably do.

I must be going crazy with school work (but there isn't supposed to be any work at all). Where can I find the motivation to study?

It's a 3 day week this semester. Hurray.

In case anyone asks me what modules I'm taking this semester again, I shall post it here.

SC1101E - Making Sense of Society
PL1101E - Introduction to Psychology
NM1101E - New Media & Society
EC1101E - Introduction to Economic Analysis
SSA2204 - Nation Building in Singapore

Back from ubin yesterday night, but was too tired to blog and thus posted it only now.

I was quite disappointed about the camp though, because I really thought we are heading for outward bound school, a place where good memories are kept. I can remember the first time I stepped into obs (and also the first time in ubin), I had lots of fun with my Bo Seng watch. These experiences are still vivid in my mind.

Anyway, we didn't end up in obs, instead we went to this place called kampong ubin, which in my opinion looks almost like pasir ris chalet in a not-so-well maintained condition. The activities we did on the first day are orientation games and rafting, which focuses on team-building qualities. I enjoyed my second day more, because the activities are more concentrated on conquering one own's fears.

I can say I'm somewhat changed after every leadership camp I went to. More confidence, more trust, more determination are some of the things I learnt from this.

The photos are not out yet, so I'll post them when the organisers sent it to us. I'm looking forward to more such activities in the future. That's all for now. I'm too tired and need to catch some sleep after such a tiring monday.

I used to be very unsure of a lot of things, and afraid to do something new. Maybe I'm too concerned with the consequences, thinking that only the eventual result matters and not the learning process.

But that has all changed after a year of reflection in 2007. This year onwards, I'm more certain of the things I wanted to do, and will strive to achieve it, be it my studies, work, play, adventure etc. I shall convince myself to be no longer afraid to fail, for one only fails when he gives up trying.

Some of the stuff I aimed to achieve in 2008
1) read 1 new book every month
2) try out a new experience every month
3) Go overseas and explore the world 2 more times
4) learn a new skill this year (master french, social dance, new sports, first aid, driving)

That is all I can think of now. It's time to welcome a new change.

Will be heading to ubin for my LDP course in outward bound school soon, so I took this break in-between to meet up eric & kenneth (nus pals) for lunch cum dinner buffet before school starts.

Had buffet at seoul garden at marina sqaure before we walked around talking about our new modules for the semester. It's quite sad that friends that I made in nus have to part so quickly for their respective majors. There is too little time to get to understand these friends long enough and there'll be lesser time to meet up in the future.

Good luck eric & kenneth for your respective modules (in case you see it) ! Hope to see ya again in school soon.

I was too busy enjoying the new year slacking at home that I forgotten to come up with the new year resolutions.

MY 2007 resolutions - Enjoy adulthood, save up lots of money, master french, treat everyone around me better than ever. lol.

Upon reflection, I didn't seem to have fulfil these resolutions because it is too ambiguous in nature. I should have a clearer picture of what I want.

MY 2008 resolutions
show more care and concern to those around me.
save up a $10,000 bank account.
master french to at least intermediate level.
achieve 4.0 GPA
level 1 heart-to heart with mixedrice.
