I'm back! I was back since wednesday midnight actually, but I didnt have time to blog. Okays, before I start on my HK trip, let me tell you more on my NAPHA test. I passed! but one sad thing is I lost my phone before my NAPHA test. I was so careless that I placed it in NP Atrium toilet. 3 mins ltr I realised, but it was gone already. :( Tried calling back but no one picked up. After a few tries, it was switched off already. Seriously, its a lousy phone already la. Guess the person who took it w/o returning intend to sell the memory card. so everyone who read my blog post now, do give me your contacts, I've only got UthNiTy's, TB10's and some of my secondary schoolmates nos. :)
We reached Changi Airport at ard 7+am to catch the 10am flight. This is the only pic we took with ah tian. He's so funny, he said he know the studs wld take photos with him, so he didnt bring camera. Confident lei. But he's another one nice christian teacher that I know. thanks ah tian for everything!! : D
I sat with Yixiu on plane, and we got a window seat! hahaha. we began cam-whoring in the plane and took lots of photos. Watched the tv and slept. We were really getting excited for HK!! :)
This is one pic which I like very very much. For once we're above the clouds!!
and yey! We arrived at HK! There's a lot of HDB flats there. But one thing its different is that the flats are really tall and skinny. Maybe thats why we always see on shows that their houses are very small. hahahaha..
The first place we visited is the Victoria Peak. Its really cold once we stepped out of the bus. ohyaaa, I had new friends. its Bryan and Yanjie. : D
HAHAHA.. I forced sherman to take this photo. Its sooo sooooo tourist can.
I took photo with Astroboy! :)
Next up, we went to Kowloon for dinner.
The decorations on the building in Kowloon is really nice and all of us are really taking a lot of photos. yey, another super tourist photo. hahaha
pj, here's your favourite jelly beans! its a lot there but very expensive too. xp
Then, we went to Avenue of Stars. Stephie and I took photos with Andy Lau's handprints! we were frantically finding his on the floor, and ta-dah! we found. :)
I went running today!! with my da kor kor. HAHAHA.. cos next wed is my NAPHA test, and I freaking don't want to fail it. I was telling the rest that.. I still can get all golds from sec 1 to 4. BUT! at poly yr 3, I'm actually afraid to fail NAPHA test. This only shows how much I exercise over the 2 years. Maybe on next wed, you'll se me updating my blog with my 19 yr old NAPHA test results, comparing with my NAPHA test results when I was 16 years. OOOOHHH, then I realise its 3 years. wow, time flies.
I finished 2 presentations this wk, if including tutorial presentation, its 3. I didn't know we have to do so much for tutorials. coming up with around 20 slides, and a 12 pages report, for just a tutorial, and 5% class participation. I had my 2nd presentation on tuesday, during lecture, the last presentation (of the wk) today. I didn't bounced, though Sherman said I did, twice.
I still have IB Business Plan and RM Merchandise Plan to be done, before flying off to HK next sat! I'm really excited, and there's a briefing this sat morn. HEEEEEE XD OHYA OHYA. When we were having meeting for IB business plan today, we checked out our trail run ranking, we were ranked 6th, among 52 teams!! THANK GOD, and it really boost our morale. Hope we can maintain or even do a better job for the actual run. JIAYOU, Global Vision! (its our team name, it sound enterprising, isn't it? HAHHA)
There's really a lot a lot a lot of friends' bday this month. Broke because we went to celebrate and buying prezzie. I still have my parents' bday, on the 17th and 19th, my da kor kor's on the 30th. Yar, obviously, he's expecting me to buy his bday prezzie in HK. ALRIGHTS. Since he got mine in Thailand.
Don't say I didn't update HOR, Sherman. Just too occupied with work, church. It's boring blogging abt assignments RIGHT?!
ok, now, let me talk more on our BOL 10th Anniversary 2007. 11 November 2007 We had our combined service at 11am. The service was short and sweet. Hope all of you enjoyed the video I made. Thanks to Ps Kris who had been helping me with the photos, and teaching me along the way. Thanks to Cindy (upsized one) who had been encouraging me and praying for me and video. I know u do. :) Thanks to Pj, Jp, Iwan. I'm really sorry that I wasted your time in video-ing, and in the end, I didn't get to use it. Thanks to Andre and family for lending me the video camera. Thanks to all the uths, like Huimin, Ben (upsized one TOO) who had been encouraging me all the way.
We've got a lot of friends coming too. I'm really so happy to see Joy, Siewlin.... We took some photos. Check it out!! =D
I thought I just updated like 2 wks ago and I nearly forgot the password for my blog. I think I'm really getting forgetful.
okays. some updates here. Since my past 2 posts are on birthdays. Moreover my friends are asking me why im not updating. THKS for telling me ppl are reading. hahaha...
-I'm NOT taking driving tentatively now cos, I've got no money, time already. hahaha. its not a rush though, my family doesnt have a car. Unless I'm gg to drive my dad's BIG BIG lorry. -I'm taking SAT test next jan. If you have time to pray for me, I'll be most MOST appreciated. My english hasnt been good. a POOR C5 for Os. Reading some SAT bks now, hope it helps. So I gotta have good time management to balance school, assignments, SAT test, blahhhhh...... end of yr is always busy busy busy. ALSO, feel free to edit my english if you see any mistakes in my blog (which is pretty common), my msn nick, and most imptly, my reports. haha... -I'm gg Hong Kong on the 24 to 28 Nov. Its the school educational trip. Gotta do a proj after this trip. But I hope I can really enjoy, though its with school. Looking forward to it!! anyone who knows canto, can throw me some basics yeah. Cos I know nuts abt the dialect. ahah -there's really a LOT of assignments. 2 integrated projs. 4 roadshows. at least 2 assignments for each module I think. -OHYA, the annual uth camp is coming up. This yr I get to participate in the planning commitee. Its really gonna be a different experience, working together with Jp, Iwan, Wenda, Pj.
Hmm, let me briefly talk abt my work, though I ended it like a wk ago. I worked in a French Co. for 6 wks, recommended by pj. I really learnt a lot in that short period of time. I realised that the nature of job, is one thing you can choose, but you can't decide who is your colleagues. The people there are really nice. They are the people who don't gossip, really. Maybe some lil complaints of their work, which is unavoidable in all jobs. Also, since I'm studying Service option now, I have to handle calls when doing recep and really understand what is mentioned in school. Difficult customers can be REALLY make things difficult in your work. Of course, there are countless of soft skills I learnt during work. I enjoy and found out that work isnt that bad after all. hahaa, thks pj for your recommendation. I didn't waste my holidays away.
YEY new blogskin. I know many of you will think pink is not shiyin. oh well, maybe shiyin is trying to be girly a lil..... bit.

Okays, for biz studs. It was rather a good news that we've only got 3 papers. The most I had was 5 papers STRAIGHT. Mon to Fri (hardcore) But the fate of 'being-the last-to-finish-paper-in-uthnity' hasnt left me. Also, the fate of 'always-taking-the-paper-in-the-afternoon-for-esp-last-paper' stayed with me too. :( Yar, so don't think will have much fun with my darls after exam that day. Its okays, cos chalet is on its way! YIPPIES. Our first TB10 chalet, though im year 3 already.

We had our cocktail party today. Its an assessment for one of my modules, IBS. It was a very short one, which all of us exchanged namecards, pretending you didn't know your classmates. hahaha, that's funny. Then our tutor stands by the side of the classroom and grade us. Everyone gets ard the same grade: B+. Yups.. Then we had another assessment, dinning etiquette. Its quite simple for me cos I'd already attended biz ettiquette before. Nothing much. Ohya, today's highlight is all of us wore formal. The ladies wore dress and the men wore ties. yar, so I wore my sec school prom dress. Then we took our class photo which need to be handed in to our tutor. Think they're gg to make into a graduation cd or sth. :))

BUT, im not finding excuses. ok la, but in the end she let us in.
it is such an 'adventurous trip' to school cannnnn...... okays i was jam at BKE for half an hr, which it normally took 10 mins. okays den when i board 184 to NP, i SQUEEEEEZED my way up to the bus. standing at the first step of the bus. mind u, its the first step not the second one. and guess what? the kan jiong driver closed the door with the corner left of the bag outside. YES YOU ARE RIGHT! my bag got stuck at the door. i was like SHIT. yar i said that out. xp. then a nice girl standing beside me help me pull it out. okays, then i was standing on the step allllll the way until bukit timah. the door banged onto me soooo many times can. and my feet got stuck once la.
yups, and the nicest thing is that i got locked out of the LT. HOW NICEEEE......
