Presentation was alright except the fact that one guy who did not come for his scheduled time earlier in the day jump in front of nigel and I. Eating 35 mins of our time. So by the time we got in and presented just halfway through, we were force to end it earlier because the lecturer was impatient and wanted to go home as there was another batch of students presenting at 4.40pm(we entered at 4.35pm). If I don't get an A at least for my Final Year Project, I'm blaming that guy!

After that, Nigel drove to pick Gen up from her place then grab some food at the newly reopened Chomp Chomp @ serangoon and proceeded to anand's place.

Andre, weiliang, rosz, derek joined us later. Watched Eurotrip on the laptop that we had borrowed from the company, a hilarious yet gross show I would say.

Went to Benjamin's place on saturday late afternoon then headed to Marina South @ around 6pm for michael's post birthday celebration. Peter had also driven boon and mike there. We played arcade for a while until about 7.30pm when John came and joined us. Benjamin got a fine of $50 for parking on double yellow line. Just our luck, the place that we were sitting, we just could not see the people coming. Felt obliged to share the fine with him, as we could not find a parking lot at first. Now I know, If I get a car next time. No way i'm gonna risk parking on double yellow line unless it's really for a while.

After dinner ended, we went to boon's workplace @ orchard towers, a place called zombie. The band playing there was not too bad. Had a couple of mugs of beer since boon went to buy without asking so no choice. :P

Ben drove me to 1 of my poly classmate, Austin's place @ chinatown. My Poly form class was having a sort of celebration for finishing Poly. There they had 2 bottles of alcohol and cans of tiger beer. I didn't drink as I am not really a drinker. Paul & James were officially crowned champions of alcohol drinking. Yinghui comes in a close 2nd. The host and my project mate of years Kang was entertaining us a lot. Yong was busy filming our XIE ZHEN JI while Yaohui and me was playing Winning 11 on PS 2.

Went for a late late supper or early early breakfast @ 3.30am at a nasi lemak store @ chinatown. Wanted to go home after that, but realised my key was dropped at ben's house. So had to wait for him to wake up around 9am before I can get it from him. Therefore went back austin's place and had a chat with yaohui while playing winning 11. It was good to see my poly form classmates again. We are no doubt the best class in our year! It's amazing how we(Yaohui Yong Kang Paul) managed to bond with James, Austin & Yinghui, because we were 2 different groups for nearly 2 years and seeing how we kinda merge and bond well is really great.

Well after playing Winning 11 till about 8am. I left the place while Yaohui join the other guys sleeping in the guest room. I fell asleep in the bus on the way to Ben's place.. Too tired I guess, Woke up to find myself near Michael's house. Got down took a bus back. Nearly missing ben's stop again because I felt asleep again. Anyway had to wake ben up cos his family had gone out for breakfast without him as he was sleeping so he pass me my key and i took a bus home. Again, i fell asleep on the bus and ended up at queenstown. Had to take a bus back this time I forced myself to open my eyes. Haha. Finally got home around 10.30am. Took a quick shower before going to bed. Slept all the way till 6pm before getting ready to go to the chalet the Qianhui & Adelene organised.

Originally the plan was that I would stay over at the chalet since its at pasir ris and go to work the following morning. But I guess the plan didn't go well, had not eaten anything since I woke up at 6pm so by the time i reached the chalet I was grumpy already. The fact that the food ain't cooking fast enough due to the small pit didn't help. What's worse was the aircon in the room wasn't helping, seems to be blowing hot air out. That chalet located there wasn't windy due to it being blocked by other chalets and seriously the chalet was quite boring!

As I said, originally the plan was that i would stayover and go work there the next day. Alas, I cannot take the heat, the tiredness of me and the boredom I decided to take a cab($19.95 wtf!) home! Although it's expensive and I usually tend to save, but the fact is I'm willing to spend that amount to go sleep on my own bed shows just how bad the chalet's room was.

Slept for 5 hours and got up quickly to prepare myself for work. Nigel picked me from Pasir Ris MRT and headed to work. The morning passed quickly and soon lunch beckoned, went to fetch andre & anand to renew passport @ tampiness safra. To my dismay, it's opening hours was from 2pm-9pm. Thus, decided to come back again after work, had a quick lunch at MACs and headed back to work.

Held a short meeting with the boss and discuss the plans for our project in the next 2 weeks. Time passed by so quickly and before we know it, knockoff time! Managed to get our passports renewed this time and headed to downtown east to meet the rest of the guys, played arcade for a while before going home to catch an Eye for a Guy & the finale of SURVIVOR: ALL STARS.

Finally, I've reached tuesday. I wonder why but today time seems to pass by so slowly... maybe it's the fact that i used to get wednesdays off for about 3 months and since I am now officially converted from an intern to a temp staff, If i want to earn $ I have to work as sick leave and "school leaves" means no $! Once lunchtime came, my mood changed a later, had a quick lunch as i was too tired and wanted a nap to freshen myself up. Watched the latest movie that I downloaded, Win A Date With Tad Hamilton. Well not a good movie actually, worth like 2.2 stars only. Watch only if you are bored! Well lookie here, time to knock off soon. I pray tomorrow won't pass by so slowly... It's torturing!~

PS: people at the chalet I hope you take this blog entry as my apologia, I was a hungry man that night and seriously that chalet is boring and unhappening!

About

: Name: Peter; Location: Singapore

Not boring not exciting, not lazy not hardworking, not handsome not ugly, not short not thin, not a bad guy not quite mommy's boy either. Regular Singaporean guy who like most guys probably get several different colours of the same shirt, t-shirt, berms, jeans once they fall in love with a particular design. Been through the era of cassette tapes of walkmans to discmans(remember the anti-shock technology) as well as MiniDisc(coming out at a bad time) which obviously lost to the emergence of mp3s and the CD to LD which saw LD losing out to VCDs. Next came the DVDs which 0wned the vcds and try to act smart by having 2 groups, HD DVD and Blu Ray. 2 words BLU.RAY. Loves to reminisce the old days when A&W rootbear float was still around and KFC was still a restaurant complete with waiters serving you Kentucky Fried Chicken. The days where bus fares were 10 cents for students and pizza hut's lunch buffets. Moves/dances to the jumpy music of Ipod Ads and likes to laugh at the Hello I'm a Mac, Hello I'm a PC advertisements!
