Zzzz
Haven't been updating my blog again~ And its not as though there hasn't been anything happening lately. The first 2 weeks of school were rather normal and slack. Attending my lectures, meeting the Wolves for lunch at the canteen, playing squash after school, swimming whenever it didn't rain and meeting up with my JC class during one Thursday evening. Was really great meeting up with my jc class again. Some couldn't turn up though but from the sound of things, everyone's doing really well! Most of the girls have already even "bought flats" la! hahaha time really flies and everyone's moving on well with their lives. Really feels like yesterday when we were all still J1, staying back after school to play bridge at our class bench till late in the evening.
Dinner at on-the-pan! Raffles City~Went down to JB during a weekend with bengines~ Although it was a very very short trip, it was still great fun gasping at how cheap everything was (same price, different currency!) and playing drinking games when we were back in the hotel room. Seriously, half of our expenditure was spent on titbits and beer la! Goodness, we're really a bunch of alcoholics~ Taught them how to play ring of fire and within 3 rounds, all the beer was drunk down. I'm still amazed at how I managed to attend school the next day for my fna lecture + dhoppers welcome tea! Oh yeah this is really random and messy but maybe I should mention now that I've signed up for dhoppers class! Its at 3pm every sat! Just attended one class this weekend and it was really fun! Still feel I look as though I'm doing aerobics but well..its only the first lesson la hor =P hopefully can pick up the "seh"/accent as time goes.
ah yes...the biggest decision I've made this year has got to be re-running for engin club. many people think i'm crazy (i think i am too) but i can't deny that i still have a lot of feelings for the club and i really wanna do my part for it one last time. my dad doesn't really support me but its my life i suppose~ well...lets see how it goes! If any of you see me in school, please give me a pat on the back k? I think it's gonna be a tough year ahead managing my fyp + modules + engin club commitments but i think i'll be really proud of myself if i can accomplish all of them. jia you to myself!!!
Incidently, after i decided to run for the club, my fyp hard disk crashed on me. After approaching IT Coop and a data retrieval specialist for help, I was quoted a hefty price of $1000 to retrieve my data. T_T where am i gonna find that amount of cash man...the data retrieval will also take 2 weeks to get the job done and with all that time spent waiting, i may as well redo all my work again~ Told my prof of my decision and thankfully he seems ok with it. Please everyone! REMEMBER TO BACK UP YOUR DATA OK!!! Don't keep procrastinating and do so TODAY! Computers have a really weird temper!! man this is a really painful lesson for me...
That's the end of my really messy blog update! Ahhh another week beckons~ Every week flies by so quickly when school starts...

I am back from Oweek 2009!! After 5 days of insane fun and laughter, I am finally home with lots of laundry to be done and lots of sleep to catch up on. But man...am I suffering from withdrawal symptoms now! Really enjoyed every second spent together with my og Wolverine who had to patiently withstand my extremely random and crazily dramatic antics. The things we did together as an og were just out of the world la! Winning every game during Wargames, running around from station to station during Night Games like mad dogs to complete as many as possible and doing silly stuffs at Plaza Singapura were just testament of how crazy we were la! The councillors attached to the og were a great bunch of people too! Mervyn (our ogl) was the good tempered councillor who handled all the nasty administrative work throughout oweek. Jia Han was the other crazy councillor who would suddenly become "high" all of a sudden and not allow any of us to stone away EVER. Jeremy, the guy with the damn loud voice and serious face but who is really such a funny person once u get to know him better! Ethan, Yanni and Seok were a great help throughout oweek too and life would have been so difficult without them around. I was perpetually hounding them every second to make sure they will continue coming for the rest of the days. Joel, Lijun and Sebas also made guest appearances on some of the days to come lend a hand and have fun with the og! With such a great mix of councillors and freshies, its no surprise that our og won the BEST OG award for oweek!!! Whooo hoo!! Ah man, I'm just so proud to be part of such an amazing experience!
Pity this will be my last chance joining back as a councillor for any Freshmen Orientation Project le~ Was actually very tired throughout the whole oweek but I kept pushing on coz I wanted my last oweek experience to be one of no regrets~ Well I'm glad I did and I'm really happy that our freshies thoroughly enjoyed themselves! Guys, hope some of you (or even ALL of you!) will join back as councillors next year to help the new batch of freshies assimilate into uni life! Have to depend on you all to keep the Wolverine spirit alive le!! Do remember that us engineers are a fun-loving bunch too! Yea! Yea! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ^_^
