Disease starting to kick in!!!
This week is abit heavier than week 1 as tutorials start to kick in. But its still manageable though. So far, i have been studying the following modules (i think they are called modules):
POM --> Principal of Mgmt
IntHT--> Introduction to Hospitality & Tourism
RHT --> Research of Hospitiality & Tourism
Macroeconomics
APEL --> Applied Principal of Effective Learning
F&B Fun--> Food & Beverages Fundamental
Comms Skill--> Communication Skills
Macroeconomics and IntHT is very straight-forward so far, so I have no problems understanding them. But for POM & RHT, I am not really catching anything. Haiz.. need to start reading up liao. N the worse thing has jst started to kick in -- MY HABIT OF SLEEPING IN LECTURES!!! Its only week 2 and i have alr fell aslp for a few lectures cos the lecturers are either too slow (RHT), too long-winded (IntHT) or just plain boring (F&B)!!
Finally met up with TW on Tue @ TM as he needs to get a gift for his friend. Last time i saw him was like the day before KW left Singapore. The lousy guy actually fell sick a few days ltr.. LLoser with a capital 'L' arh Bro!! Lucky its not the recent swine flue.
Talking bout the swine flue, the chinese term used is damn lame sia.. 猪流感.. LOL.. so if one day, cows start to develop the same disease, will it be called 牛流感???? Chinese seriously got a very bad way of naming stuffs. Honest.
This week also marks the bdays of alot of ppl - Weiling (my SL), Mr Tang (my sec sch chinese teacher), Kianwei (my MPD colleagues), TW (OI Brother) & my very own older brother. So i wana wish them a very happy bday!!! And you guys want to know the interesting part. Their bdays are like one after another. WL (29 Apr), Mr Tang (30 Apr), KW (1 May), TW (2 May) & my bro (3 May). Luckily dont need to buy presents.. If not i confirm broke liao!!! =D
Guess I should stop now liao since i dont know what else to add le. So tk care everyone and to those few ppl again... HAPPY BDAY!!!
To TW: Get well soon Bro. Dun be so weak. wahahah+D

Cost of Modernisation?
坐牢32年;打24鞭
For those of you who cant read chinese - "Obedient boy" molested 7 girls & sentenced to 32 years behind bars and 24 strokes.
He was given these harsh sentence because all of his targets were from age of 9 to 14!!! The crime he committed on some of his victims were indecent and I do not wish to post them online. I was even more stunned when i read the article more in-depth. He (22 yrs of age) was a OCS-caliber type of guy during army and during his schooling days, he was like those better performing ones. So why would such a guy with a good future do such things?
From the article, he first got into a relationship with a sales girl when he was 17. Due to that, he started returning home late everyday and his school work started to drop. As a result, his parents started to ignore him and he was always alone at home. To make matters worse, his gf was double-timing at the same time and broke off with him soon after that. So was that the cause of everything?
After reading the article, i really started to think... In this time and age where high tech stuffs are everywhere, are we forgetting the things that seperated us from animals? Why would such incident happen when all of us are receiving better education and a higher standard of living?
Who should we point the blame too?
- The education system in schools which basically only requires students to be academically-inclined?
- The parents who are too concerned with providing the best for their children and forgetting that they are also suppose to impart moral values to their kids?
- The society in which compassion and sympathy is rare displayed?
There is no right-wrong answer here. Everyone of you who are reading this article will also have your thoughts and feelings.
I would like to take this chance to thank my parents for making me the man that I am today. I may not be the perfect guy, but at least I have sympathy and compassion which were imparted to me by my parents.
I LOVE YOU 老爸老妈!!! 谢谢你们的教诲=D

HTM Orientation Sequel
HTM Orientation (22nd Apr 09)
Attended the HTM (Hospitality & Tourism Mgmt) orientation ytd at 5pm and i can say the event was FUN!! Well, to a certain extent though. WHY?!?!?! Coz i lost one of my spec lens at the FIRST game station. So I was practially VISUALLY-HANDICAPED throughout the other games. There were games like well, common games that you will play during orientation.. Basically, its aim is to bond the class and promote team-building.. LOL.. N the ironic thing is --- guess out of 23 ppl in my class, how many attended?
A MISERABLE NUM OF 9!!! Thats like not even 50% attendance. People attended were Leon, Allen, Yan'En, Jasmine, Winnie, Shu Ting, Rafika, Li Xi and Ingah. Our SL, Weiling and Grace, were like so sian due to the class strength as compared to others. But hey, though we were small, we were great!! Especially in the "Pass-tofu-ard-the-fountain" game, we caught up with the class who started like 9 - 10 mins before us. So GOOD JOB 1H03!! *Clap Clap*
The last event was the Mascort compeition. One of the HTMIG (HTM Interst Group) committee pronounced the word like "Mass-c**k"... LOL..Everyone was like stunned!! Our hero of the day was YAN'EN (Pic below). We made him our bride of the day =p Oh ya.. definitely gotta show you ppl a pic that will shame some of the ladies ard. Ladies, pls look at the leg of the center guy.. AINT IT GREAT!!! The whole HTM was like so amused with his legs lar.. I have another pic that Yan'En took with him. But its currently not with me. Will post them as soon as I have them.
Although we didnt win any phyiscal rewards at the end, we won sumthings better--- Friendship, teamwork and the bonding. So three cheers and three cheers and three cheers for 03!! Hip Hip Horray!! Hip Hip Horray!! Hip Hip Horray!!!
Event ended like ard 11pm. Normally, I will like go back home on the bus alone all the way to Bishan. So sad rite? LOL.. but ytd wasnt. I so call "befriended" a friend of weiling . She lives like in the Thomson area (if i didnt recall wrongly). So she will also need to go all the way to Bishan to switch bus. Jst nice both of us oso took 410W. +) Throughout the whole journey, we talked bout alot of things. Mainly school related stuff though. She's really nice and sweet.. ya.. THANK YOU WL for intro-ing your friend.
Ok, tt roughly sums up the whole of ytd.. Gotta stop here.. Sibei long sia this entry..
To our SL Grace & WL: Ty for everything.. Hopefully we didnt disappoint you ppl.
To the guys/gals who attended: We rockz!!!
To Shuting: If you are sumhow reading this, good job for the cheer =) At least you came up with sumthing that the rest of us couldnt. *Salute*
Up Next.. LUNCH!!

1st day of TP life
Aniway, I created this blog as I suddenly feel its better to note down the things that happens around me everyday.
Ok, here goes.. Today marks the 1st day of my TP schooling life.. Didnt noe how the lect will be like.. Will it be the same as MJ's? Or will it be a new experience? Dragged myself off bed this morning due to the BORING MAN UTD match last night (which Man Utd lost on penalties.. damn). Lucky didnt stayed up to watch the extra time n shootout, went to bed straight at full time.
1st lecture started at like 9am - Principal of Mgmt.. OOoo.. Basically it jst teaches you the difference level in Mgmt, etc. Oh ya! The LT was noting like MJ's. TP's LT was like 1/4 the size of MJ's LT 4.. So you can imgaine how many classes can actually attend the lecture. No wonder they have like lecture groups. The lecture was supposed to end at 11 (WTH, 1 single lect period is 2hrs when JC max is 1.5 hrs.. OMG). Luckily, the lecturer tok fast and we were released at like 1015.
As today is the 1st day of school, my class 1H03 so called went on a "class outing" as we still nida come back to school for another lect at 3. So off we went to Tampines Mall. Initial plan was like to catch a movie, but well, plans do change =) We ended up in the arcade (I jst sat ard as.. well.. you all shld noe)..
Coincidently, 1 of our classmate's bday is today. So off we went to get her a gift. Ending up getting her a milk bottle filled with those assorted sweets from Mini Toons. Hope she likes the gift even though its abit last minute..
CCA recruitment drive is like from 22-24 Apr.. Shld I join back Floorball?? Basketball?? or shld i jst be CCA-less for another 3 yrs?? I realli like Floorball.. but my stamina is like long gone.. GG.. tough choice..
Well, for a 1st entry, it sure is long.. Haas.. okok.. Better stop now.. Getting carried away le..
