A diary entry
23rd January 2007

awakened by his alarm at 7.10am, kenneth decided to turn his handphone off and skip GEMS, the last one of the semester. Afterall his test was over and the last lesson was a revision, there was no harm in skipping right? Wrong it seems~ Murphy's law seemed to work unexpectedly true with him. A phone call at 11.30am woke him. It wasn't unexpected but it turned out that it was one of the most unexpected things he had fortune to hear that day. His friend and partner in crime, Kai, informed him that the CSW(Communications Skills for Work) Module test had been brought forward 3 hours, to start at 12.10pm. And so kenneth gatheredtogether all his energies and activated rush mode, in hopes of making the impossible journey in 40 minuntes. Just the journey alone would take 40 minutes. It was amazing that kenneth reached only 20 minutes late, at 12.30pm. Thankfully, the 3rd group went first, as the 2nd group was late too.
（;ﾟДﾟ）

So my partner and i took the roleplay test(making a business phonecall, we got a disco man(I) and a sound engineer(Kai)) and came out of it with a "It was quite ok." Afterwhich they waited for their whole clique to finsh and go for lunch, during which kenneth was pestered consistently by marcus to go home(he wanted someone to walk with him~).

Foodcourt 4 they trekked, the twelve did. The same thing ate, kenneth did. Beside RM and val sat, did he. Lost it, he did.

Val rose and left after eating, admist a sea of suspicion. And soon after, everyone left too. Kenneth had to rush back home to grab his tennis racquets as it was already 4.30pm. Merilyn had arranged so that Court 6 was booked for them at 6pm. Unfortunately he was caught by the computer on his way out, thus delaying him for a good 10 minutes. With 2 raquets in hand, kenneth finally left his house with Yio Chu Kang as his destiantion.The uneventful journey there is nothing of interest so this part is skipped. Considering that kenneth was carry 3 books of "Saga of Queen Knight" with him, he deciced to message his friend, xian, to come pick them up or else... After he reached the tennis complex, he headed straight for the courts, as he had already changed at home. Almost right in front of him was the semi-skilled guy, who kenneth found out later was called Sidney. Only Merilyn and one of the Girl-friends were there. And so they started to play, using the house balls. With Merilyn and kenneth on one side, and the rest on the other. They played singles using one court, and to kenneth's dismay, both him and his partner played dismally. Kenneth looked wistfully on at the engaging game that merilyn and sidney were having.

Around halfway through, merilyn decided that it was time to switch partners, and kenneth tried his hand with sidney. Unfortunately for him, kenneth didn't play too well. If it was not up it was side, rarely did kenneth let sidney do anything other than serve. Well class then started at 7pm, where james started to teach the class how to serve, after a brief warm-up. James commented that the strong winds made it feel like hawaii, and if singapore had these winds, there would be no need to travel on holiday. But these winds brought with them the greatest bane of outdoor sports, rain. They endured dizzle. They endured the shower. But it was by james' word that they avoided the torrent. And so the ball-picking excercise began and concluded, the weathered warriors thromped out of the rain-stained battlefield. As they approached the gate, kenneth noticed a familiar figure in the safety of the building, his friend xian, with a closed umbrella in hand. Greeted they did, talked they did, until kenneth realised he was missing james' talk. And so after that, xian and kenneth walked together to the mrt, and they parted.

My precious (somewhat....)


a patch of beige cloth stunned me a few days ago after i reached home from school.. it was smooth and had a slight reflective sheen on it. Tromping off to my mother i went, hoping for an explanation from her.. a new blanket it would seem it is.. one which may take over the place of what was rightfully there before.. oh~ you were so understanding, in the summer or winter you kept me feeling right~.. was what the previous did.. amazing isn't it.. well this seems here to stay for awhile.. hopefully i can rescue it from a few clutches here and there...... hopefully that is..

Resolution, A

the fear of failing is great, wouldn't you say?
humans strive their best so as to not lose out to others so that they can be the most wanted at the top of the reproduction chain.


but anyways..
after the fear of failing the Architecture course, Year 2, i've resolved to do better in Year 3, if i can get into it..

Upcoming next in my life would be the ITP assignment, a requirement for all students to pass if they want to get their diploma. My attachment would be to Surbana Pte Ltd ( http://www.surbana.com/ ) .. My partners in destroying.. i mean helping their company were, to the best of my knowledge, Ben, amanda, daniel(the tall and skinny one who i can't remember>_>") and i.. after the ordeal ben went through, he finally got switched back to CPG (a marvellous company i'd say ( http://www.cpgcorp.com.sg/home/home.asp ) ) and daniel may not show up at ITP due to him being himself.. so it's possible i'll be all alone with amanda to handle the diaster called working lifeO_O"


oh well>_>

Sadness is in the separation..

Separation

Date: 22nd of september 2005

Today was sad? Was it sad? Charlene and Bao Fang left us/me from the Japanese Language course in Bishan CC.. They said it was because their 'A' Levels were coming.. But they were not going to come back after they finish and are going to join a class somewhere else.. They had brought handmade stuff to give out.. Charlene made some orange peel cookies while Bao Fang made some burnt? cookies.. Ah.. so nice.. but the peels were a little too much though.. and there was a white blob made of sugar and egg white? I can't remember who made this.. But at first I was just wondering why they made this.. I did not know it until later.. Y__Y Ah.. memories were made.. The first time person I talked to in class was Bao Fang.. and at that time I was sitting behind her in the third row.. She was also with 1 more friend.. what was her name again? There was also a time when i accidentally left my pencil case in school including my drawing pencils.. so I had nothing.. And I had no choice but to borrow a pencil.. And I borrowed it from Bao Fang.. Charlene was brought in by Bao Fang one day to let her try out the class.. After the lesson that day, I asked her if she would be joining us and she said no.. But look at it now.. giggle.. Hmm.. Durng the Natsu Matsuri Chrlene had called me asking where the place for the festival was as she had needed to buy tickets for her family an friends.. She needed to do it for herself as it was above the quota per person.. In the end the quota per persn was only 1 but she got her family in early anyway because all of them jumped into the queue right behind us.. Should be making a Natsu Matsuri post later.. But I think these are all there are of memories of them.. They did not give me their MSN cntact which is something I am sad of.. But after the Japanese Lesson that day (Sayonara!)(They did not tell Imanaka sensei T.T), the two of them together with Melissa and Sarabelle went to take a Neoprint.. I should ask them to scan and send it to me.. *nodnod*
This is one of the few pictures I have of them.. Taken during Teacher's day.. Will create a post about that too..

hai hai i'm back after billions of seconds and millions of minutes away from blogging~ this first post will just bring back a post or two from my previous blog at friendster ( http://thepaladin.blogs.friendster.com/the_only_one/ )..

sooo..

Ah.....~~..... Correction: AAHHHHHH!!!!!

31 November 2005, Monday
School has started once again in the same dreary way it always does.. Wake up.. sleep another 30 minutes.. and rush everthing else I need to do before going to school.... and not be late.... hmm..rushes to the MRT station take around 10 minutes.. so I was more or less late agan..Y-Y,,,,Then next I met Fernando when he came in at Novena.. It was not the first time, so it was like normal~.. Sart of term always have had nice topics to talk about, so we kept up the conversation till we reached dover.. Though we wanted to get there fast to be early, I(I know I didn't, and Fernando did..) didn't want to get there....=.=.. So, "Dover.. Dover".. Off the train we got and down the stairs we went.. And the light(?) of my day came.. At the base of the stairs, a pimply face that's reddens fast with a small body did I meet.. Ika~!! Finally I have met the only person I had not met from Braddell-Westlake in SP.. Others are, Aliim, Mei Jin, Li Lian(These people are in Chemical Process Technology), Edward, Tong Lai, Benson, Wei Shan.. and there may be more.. Well, I think we were surprised to see each other, but we said nothing more than a "hi".. And there went Ika rushing away for class.. Well so did I too anyway.. So then we reached our studio, only to find no one there.. Th lecture room was empty too and we bumped into two other people from 01/02 wandering around too.. Then I made a call to Valerie while Fernando made a call to Yuan Kai..+ And to our horror, we found that we had missed the beginning(or 15 minutes) of our new project brief(by Mrs. Koh(a.k.a. Keng Keng)) at the ADRC downstairs.. With the 01/02 in tow, we rushed to the ADRC.. Inside we found a dark room with the projector on.. Anyway~~.. Skip. So.... LUNCH TIME!! With growling stomachs(maybe?) we flobbed around the ADRC trying to gather everyone.. So we flobbed around even more on a slow crawl to FC 1 while waiting for people to join us.. But HMMM...>.< Nurul and Shu Fang didn't join us like usual.. Y-Y.. After lunch, we started the same routine of doing our new project - Final. All in all.... The day should have ended successfully?
