Ok, so i have a paper tomorrow... Its PSCM... The dumb module that i've been complaining about for the past 2 weeks...
Just DLed Lin JJ's Concert Album, and i like the bass and the music compared to his normal album, maybe it just sounds better on my hi-fi... HAHA... Whatever...
Was de-stressing yesterday when i found 2 articles suitable for those taking their exams now...
The Philosophy of Exams
Studying : Improving Your Memory
There are other exam related articles at that webbie, Funkygrad, so when u really need to de-stress, its a fun place to go...
Ok, i'm off to continue mugging PSCM...

What can i say, i'm like triple multi tasking, so if this entry sounds weird or sounds anything not me, i'm so sorry...
I swear that i did study PSCM... I even did up my notes like how i used to do... And i even used my spoting question and whatever method to study... But, it seems to me that i'm completely blank about the module...
DIE!!! I NEEDA STUDY MORE OF IT!!! DIE!!!
Oh ya, everyone is currently suffering from exam stress... And its killing everyone... I wonder how many of the 15 would be left after this exam... CHOY!!! 15, JIA YOU!!! Remember u're not taking ur paper alone, the other 14 are behind supporting u...
Thanks to those who have wished me luck ever since i mugged like hell, Jamie Girl, Steph, Ying Xuan Mei, Xiuhui, 15, DBA12 and to the rest who've wished me luck but i've forgotten, sorry...
Ok, i'm off to mugging... WISH ME LUCK!!!

So the last time i blogged was like nearly 1 week ago... But there's been nothing evenful in my life so far... Its just study study study... Oh well, i'll try to find something eventful to blog about...
I've finally finished up PSCM on Saturday... Sunday was supposed to study UCCD, but went down to my cousin's hse instead so ended up nv study... At least monday, i was able to study UCCD... UCCD test was ok, quite happy that i knew how to do most of the question... Then went home and out again for lunch with sister... Its her birthday... Then after that, had a mini-birthday party for her in the evening, invited her friends... AND U KNOW WHAT!!! She had 2 cakes lor...
And after that day, i've been stuck at home ever since... And i'm like super late in finishing up my TTP, due to the fact that i've been slacking everyday... BOO!!! Gotta finish it by tomorrow at the most man...
So yesterday was quite a busy day for me, woke up early in the morning and went down to meet Steph for breakfast and at the same time, take back my calculator, and we walked round Hougang mall waiting for the shops to open, cause it was too early in the morning... Then went down to meet WL at Sengkang CP to settle some bank stuff... And i guess i did alot of stupid things when we were at CP... HAHA... Refer to her blog...
Ya, and i super need a job for the 9 weeks holidays that is coming cause i need the $$... So if anyone have any lobang, tyty... HAHA...
Then after that, went down to meet Jo cause she had to fax her employment form to her company... So had lunch with her and then helped her fax her employment form... And we were talking about laptops at one point, which reminds me... I want a new laptop... And the Green Sony Vaio has caught my eyes... And u know what, its only $1999, $1000 cheaper than my orange Toshiba... Refer here...
Oh Fifteen, and while u're at that side, take a look at the Pink laptop as well... Dun u think its super suitable for our dear friend Woei Ling... HAHA... And no WL, no one's gonna buy that lappie for u.... HAHA... I'm being mean...
And one last thing, my blog has been invaded by Wanyi, and she didn't even tag... So Wanyi, if u've come to invade this blog of mine, u're surely see this, and when u see this, TAG!!!
Haha... Off to mug for TTP again, it has better be done by Saturday...
I can't wait for 11.10am on the 8th of Feb...

So i'm like supposed to study... I'm 2 days late in finishing up my PSCM... Was supposed to finish it on Thursday, but dragged till today...
Last day of school yesterday, not counting exams... The next time i go back to school for lessons would be in Year 3... And that would be in April... Oh ya, i think i've never mentioned this before, but 12 is a realli fun class... Esp. when we do all the crappy things together like plotting to anyhow do up TTP's walking tour and plotting to share answers for FM project...
So yesterday was also the final presentation for Year 2... Had ECM formal presentation, and i guess i didn'd do as well as i used to, even Wanyi asked me after our presentation what was wrong... I think it's a combination of not enough rest, mugging and not drinking water before i present... My throat felt really dry when i presented lor... Completely forgot to drink water before going up to present... How forgetful could i get... Esp me as a debater, always knowingly before every debate, would drink like tons of water... You should see the amount of times i visit the drink stall uncle on debate days... Oh, and no water cooler water, only mineral water and the best way to keep your throat "smooth" for presentation and speaking is drink a bottle of pink dolphin peach flavour, it really works...
Oh, and i was surfing the net yesterday for stuff that i wanna buy... Here's a list (reminder to self):
1) Orange Adidas Jacket, $125
2) Green Adidas Superstar Shoes, $125
3) Fossil Watch, $130
4) Hugo Boss Fragrance, $100
5) Another Crumpler Bag, The single color one, $ 89
6) Another Bag of size between my crumpler and billabong bag, $100
And the damage after the above: $669
So i realli need a job for the coming holidays... HAHA... And shir encourage me to search the papers for a job... HAHA... I shall do that after the exam... But anyone who has any lobang for jobs can msg me... HAHA... Would deeply apperciate them...
Oh, and i had GEMs test after lunch... Test started at 1.30, and i went in at 1 to study, but then the teacher was showing some funny movies and we laughed and laughed and laughed... And guess what, i finished my GEMs test within 5 mins... HAHA... Oh, and thanks to Jia Min cause her tips were quite accurate... HAHA...
Then had TTP walking tour, which was dumb and fun... HAHA...
Ok, i'd better be off to study le... Left with 3 or 4 more chapters for PSCM then i'll be done with it... Gotta get a GPA of more than 3 for my this sem or else its bye bye to my double degree of BA and Law at NUS...

I'm here again... And yes, i'm gonna say this for the million time (or rather shout), EXAMS ARE COMING!!! ARGH!!!
So i have ECM formal presentation tomorrow, and after that, in the afternoon, i have GEMS test... After GEMS test, we have a class walking tour round SP... And the whole class is going to like walk all over SP in formal thanks to our presentation... So if u see a big group of students walking around in formal attire, DUN LAUGH!!!
I'm done with my UCCD notes, studying it one more time tomorrow on my way home from school and prolly a few more times before my UCCD exam on tuesday...
Oh, and talking about notes, u should see how terrible my PSCM notes are... They are like so messy, inconsistant, with alot of mistakes, repetation and i dunno what to say!!! And u know what is the worst thing of all, the notes is in a book form published by a well known publisher... AND WORST!!! The front cover of the book has a line that writes: "Edited by..."
OMG!!! Its edited and there are still so many mistakes... Wouldn't it be worst if it was uneditted. And we dun see this happening in the notes for other modules, and their notes are binded pieces of paper...
And yes, the internet is getting on my nerves... Its acting like a 56k moderm... Like who uses this speed now??? I need a new moderm, and a more faster one to that...
So now is mugging time... Everyone is mugging... And no doubt, i'm mugging too... So its back to mugging... Cyaz around...

Didn't go to school today... I think that going to school now is a waste of time... All the project presentations are more or less done (less ECM this friday), all the reports are already submitted... Most of what we are supposed to learn has already been taught (but how much have we learnt???)... Its quite a waste of time waking up super early in the morning and forcing urself to go to school for no particular reason...
So i wasted my whole day yesterday by waking up at a super early timing of 7 to go for UCCD lecture... And for those of you who do not know, my tuesday timetable is technically 12-2... 12-1 is for projects and 1-2 is for TTP lecture... And for once, my "guai"-ness did not pay off... UCCD lecture ended super early, though i must say that Sheh is a good lecturer... He tries to make things sounds more interesting early in the morning when everyone wants to sleep... And compare the amount of people at his 9-10 lecture, or rather 9-9.30 lecture, to the amount of people at the 10-11 HRM lecture later on in the day...
So UCCD ended at 9.30 and then breakfast outside MLT 10... HAHA... We just sat down at the bench eating stuff bought from the FC... Then it was back inside MLT 10 for HRM... And gosh, look at the turnout, if this was at 9, i bet there'll be lesser people than this... So i "suai"-ly got called by that auntie lecturer of mine to answer the question, and God knows how she knows my name... GOSH... Should start keeping a low profile man... Even at TTP, Chih Wee asked how much did i get for MCQ and i innocently proclaimed "9", when i was half way marking my script... HAHA...
So school's been boring for the past 2 days... And i've been mugging since saturday...
I think the only productive thing i did yesterday was to finish up UCCD, but that was like in 3 days... So yeah, i'm done with UCCD, just one more time revising on monday and hopefully i'll get a B or something higher...
And yes, i'm studying PSCM (that dumb module i blogged about earlier) cause that's my next paper after UCCD... Oh, and i haven studied for GEMS test this friday... Hopefully, i can sneak a little copy during that test... Its quite a waste of time though the test... And yes, GEMS is of no relevance to my course...
Oh, finally, before i forget, let me update my dates:
19th Jan - ECM presentation
19th Jan - KYTB Quiz
23rd Jan - UCCD Final
23rd Jan - Karen's Birthday
30th Jan - PSCM Final
1st Feb - TTP Final
5th Feb - ECM Final
7th Feb - FM Final
8th Feb - HRM Final
18-20 Feb - CNY!!!
23-25 Feb - U15 Chalet
Oh, U15 chalet has been booked for the 23-25 of Feb... And from what i heard from Jo and WL, they wanna go hike Mt Ophir this June, so they are arranging either a KL or Genting trip after their hike...
I think i'm seriously looking forward to U15's chalet... All the nonsense we do, the crap stuff we talk about, the crappy moives we watch... BBQ would be on the 24th and i think clubbing on the 23rd night... So prepare yourselves, oh ya, and ur $$ too... HAHA...
Oh, and dun forget the mens mag as well... HAHA...
Off to eat and then mugging again... Cya around...

Ok, now that most of the reports and presentations are done with, there is only one more dumb thing to go through every sem... THE MOST DREADED EXAMS...
So everyone is busy studying for their exams, and everyone is so looking forward to after exams, not to say the least me...
I think studying is a chore now, no more a privilege... I mean, who studies till the point that they wanna vomit blood... I seriously need to play, whatever it is, online games, video games, computer games... U name it, i need it...
I shall be a doctor for once... For all suffering from lack-of-playtime disease (that's what liteng calls it)...
The prescription:
Tons of games
Tons of outings
Tons of shopping trips
Tons of whatever u wanna do
But u know what...
Everytime when u go to a doctor, and u are sick, and ur doctor prescribes u some medicine... And when u dun eat them or take care of urself, ur doctor would scold u... Well, this isn't going to happen, cause U GOT NO CHOICE, THE BLOODY EXAMS ARE COMING!!!
UCCD is getting on my nerves... TTP has never been so boring... And i thought last sem was bad... This sem is worst... Look at all the crap i'm studying... Trompenaars, Hofstede... Who the hell are these ppl and what are they doing in my lecture notes... Even their names are hard to spell... Like Trompenaars (pronnunced trom-pee-na), like i would think its spelt, IDIOT... And the other guy, Hofstede (pronnunced hof-stir-dus), he would be spelt, STUPID...
Oh ya, and i have yet to complain about my other modules... Somehow, i feel that SB is really just giving us things to study... Like what relevance has Principle of Supply Chain Management got to do with the tourism industry... U mean we gotta plan how to transport tourist to our beautiful island this way:
1 TEU (Twenty Foot Equilivant Unit, commonly known as a Container that u see at PSA) can contain 200 surrogated boxes (bloody boxes used for packing)
1 surrogated boxes can contain 24 tourist...
Or this
First, we'll transport the tourists by sea by ship, and then we'll transport them by land by truck to their hotel, and here comes the best part... Then we store them in the DC (Distribution Centre, commonly known as a warehouse) till customers (hotels, attractions, airlines, and all other tourism related thingys) order... When customer order comes in, we remove these boxes of tourist from the warehouse and transport them by truck to the customers...
If the tourism industry was like this, there is no need for this industry anyway, cause it would never work out... Like who wanna be transported in containers...
... And dun get me started on my other modules...
If given a choice, my module list would look like this:
1. How to Rebel
2. How to Not Study and Pass
3. How to play games
4. How to shop
5. Travelling
6. How to excel in this screwed up world without any paper
Or the other module list:
1. Play
2. Go Out
3. Sports
4. Entertainment
5. Movies
6. K-Box
7. Chalet
8. Holidays
Somehow, come to think of it, the Sick School's module list isn't bad either... But that is more suitable for ppl like Liteng...
Why can't my dad be an owner of some large company (MNCs would be nice, Companies would be nicer), then no matter how my results turn out, i'll still be a manager or something once i start out...
Or why can't my dad be the president of the US... That way, i'll ask every one of my secret service agents to study 1 module each, and then at the test, i'll just have to write my name on the paper...
Like this is such a torture...
Growing up, u learn that whenever year-end comes, u have christmas, and that is when u have lots of presents... And then when the year starts, you start school and u get to see all ur frenz, and u chat till who knows what, and play, and outings, without having to care a damn about exams and study till March...
And look what we have now... Christmas, New Year, Reports, Presentations and EXAMS!!! Like any idiot can also tell u that they don't go together...
Remember your first day in Primary 1... How excited were u, all the stories that you hear that school is exciting, fun... And then, you would give up anything to go to school... Even if u were sick and dying (ok, probably not dying), you would still go to school... MCs were like dumb pieces of paper that you kept in ur wallet... Or paper that ur mum would insist u pass to ur teacher...
How lied to were we... We were never told of exams... We were never told of crap modules we had to study... And the nice 3 subject list then: English, MT, Maths... No one told us that it would grow to include crappy stuff...
Now, i would give up anything not to go to school... And MCs are treasures that every sought after... If u were sick, flu, cough, sore throat, headache, stomachache, simple illness like these, u won't hesistate to go to the doctor just to obtain an MC...
And in Poly, 25% ability to skip, pon is everyone's treasure...
Whoever came up with this idea of having paper qualifications should be strapped to a pole and burnt...
Oh, one more thing, i think the socialist idea is still better...
Imagine this, when u are in a socialist society, everything is given to u by the state... Dun have to give a damn about study, dun have to give a damn about work... Everyday just slack...
What about a Capitalism society???
Study your guts out for some pieces of paper... Work your guts out to earn misely amount of money to survive on... Where's the time to slack??? Everyone is super in need of sleep...
Have u ever thought why Singapore's population is aging...
Its because all the young ppl are either too stressed out that it affects their sperm/ovules, or they are commiting sucide due to the pressure, or they dun have the time to produce babies...
Ok, so enough whining, i still got tons of things to study...

As promise, 2nd part of my japan post,
TOKYO DISNEYSEA
The entrance fountain, the symbol of Tokyo Disneysea, just as Cinderella's Castle is the symbol for Tokyo Disneyland...

Night time view of the entrance fountain

Medierranean Harbor... This is the biggest land in Tokyo Disneysea... It is also the entrance land to Tokyo Disneysea, means everyone who comes to Tokyo Disneysea would have to go past these arches seen...

The view of Medierranean Harbor across the centre lagoon... The centre largoon is also where both the day and the night parade takes place... And everyone would gather round this lagoon to view the parade... I'm still in Medierranean Harbor when i took this picture, prove of the size of the land...

One of the many decorations they put up for chirstmas... There are many of these "statues" scattered round the park, makes very good place for photo taking...

Another one of those statues in the park... This one celebrates the 5 year aniversary of Tokyo Disney Resort...

Arabian Coast... Another land of Disneysea...

Mermaid Largoon... Where Ariel and her friends come to play... This land is unique to Disney, because it has and outdoor portion...

...and an indoor portion... Never seen something like that in Disney before...

Mysterious Island... This land is right in the middle of a volcano, and below the walkway is a canal (looks more like a river though), making this land feel very mysterious...

Port Discovery, another land of Disneysea...
Ok, that ends of Tokyo Disneysea... Anyway, here are a few other shots in disney... Enjoy...

Found this...

...and this in a shop window, and felt that they were really cute...

Have u seen the buses they have in Disney???

Or the trains???

Blogger is rebelling against me... Been trying to update since i came back from Japan but it takes ages just to load their log in page... I think everything's rebelling now, the net is getting slower, the com is getting slower and my lappie as well is getting slower... Drats, new year all become old outdated gadgets le, so got the right to rebel... HAHA...
Ok, so i know i came back from Japan ages ago and i should blog and bla bla bla, but blogger was rebelling... HAHA...
Japan:
Japan was fun, though cold...
So i left at night, 16th dec 2006... The plane onli took off at 11 something and that is really late for someone who always flies either in the morning or the afternoon... Its weird waking up and telling urself that today u're gonna fly, but then not rushing to do up anything... HAHA... Was stuck inside the tube for 7 hours, watched a movie, "Stormbreaker" and slept a bit before they turned on the cabin lights for breakfast... Oh great... After breakfast, it was around the time we were getting in to Japan, so no use sleeping... Reached Narita at 7, common proceedure before ending up in the arrival hall of the airport... Oh ya, and i proclaimed that it was not cold after getting off the plane [i'll come to regret this later]... HAHA... And to add on, i filled up so many forms that i didn't even know what was for what... [Trying to recall] 1. Entry Card (Immigration) 2. Health Check Form (Health Dept.) 3. Customs Declaration Form (Customs)... Ya... I think the only time i filled up more of this crappy forms was on my china study tour, and that time, i had someone fill them for me... HAHA...
Took a "Airport Limousine" (Its a bus service btw, sth like SBS) to our hotel, Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay... Tell u guys a secret, this hotel is located like 1 stop from DisneySea and 3 stops from Disneyland on the Disney Resort Liner, imagine how close it is to disney???
Reached the hotel at 9 (tokyo time) and then proceeded to check in, but however, we could not check in cause our room was only available after 2... So we left our bags at the front desk, at went to Shibuya... Yes, the world famous Shibuya District of Tokyo... HAHA...
Took a subway there, had to change 1 time at Tokyo station though... And the walk from one train to the other took ages, its like so long a walk... Reached Shibuya finally and went to a departmental store to eat... Had japanese claypot rice... First japanese meal in japan... HAHA... After lunch, went to the Shibuya district for a walk, saw (and even videoed) the world famous Shibuya crossing... Didn't buy anything though, cause there was like nothing to buy, but saw some cool handphones, the next handphone i want is a 3G handphone from Japan...
After that, we went back to the hotel... Where we could check in... So anyway, before we went back, we went to a convenience store to get some stuff... And yes, a japanese convenience store sellls practically everything... HAHA...
Checked in, then had a bath then went off for dinner, dinner buffet at the coffee house in the hotel... After that, went back for a well deserved rest...
Ok, after day 1, days 2,3,4 and 5 were all spent in DISNEY!!! HAHA... So its disney galore for my trip... I'll let the pictures do the talking for these days...

The Famed Shibuya Crossing... Lots of ppl, then loads of cars...

Look what i found in Shibuya... HAHA...

Japanese handphones... I want one!!! They have cool functions... I even saw a boy (a kid, around primary school age) watching TV on his handphone... THEY HAVE TV ON THEIR HANDPHONE!!!

This is must talk about... The japanese toilet bowl that actually shoots water at ur butt... HAHA... And i mean it... Or u can be rather bad and ask someone to put their face at the toilet bowl to see what is going on and press the button and the water will shoot that person's face... HAHA... Have u heard it before, a toilet bowl that shoots water... HAHA... Its actually used to clean ur butt after shittting... HAHA... And its fun to play with... HAHA...

The Disneyland station... Look very DISNEY...

Saw this inside the station... Looks very nice... Very Christmas...

Entrance to Disneyland... Again very DISNEY...

World Bazaar...Tokyo Disneyland... Christmas Fantasy...

Inside World Bazaar... This is the Tokyo Disneyland version of Main Street U.S.A. Supposed to look like a 1950s United States Town... Look at that enormous christmas tree...

My favourite ride, Astroblasters...

Adventureland in Japan, looks like the Hong Kong one...

Toontown... My sis's favourite place...

Cindy's Castle...

Cindy's Castle with one of the christmas decoration at disney's...

Disney with Mickey Mouse and Cindy's Castle in the background...

Disney Japanese Food

Disney Fastfood...
Disneysea when i next blog... HAHA... Cyaz guys...
