-Warning- (Whiners alert)

Life has turned into a routine as school works pile up and clubs started
i'm not saying that it's not good, at least i'm on the "right" track

"Right" track, what's right and what's wrong.. Your right might be someone's left..
Fail to plan, planned to fail (quote sec's principal) always find this phrase interesting..
from the planning of how your day goes to planning the next 10 yrs of your life..
5Ws 1H..
plans enable one to focus and not waste resource/time/effort.. so start planning today (=

we ever discuss over WHY did we do night/day game..(to know as many as possible and filter down to only one) been there done that, and the end result is another lonely valentines this year round.. i'm starting to wonder, so what if we meet the "right/potential" one.. what's your/mine definition of the "right/potential" ones..? having a checklist (appearance,connection via emotional/intelletual, feeling, helping each other grow, common idea/dream or just plain good sex? and so what if you THINK there's room for development.. what do u foresee this whole r/s yrs down the road..? (quote xiu)

English lesson's critical thinking -> What's your definition home? (location - somewhere you're born?/the place you grew up in?/where you spend most of your time at?/a place where most of your loved ones at? emotion - where your heart lies?/where u feel most comfortable?)
Going overseas for studies/work is really common nowadays, but ever wonder why some never return? or even if they did, they're probably physically there..
(give a thought on this - imagine you're heading back to your "home" country with expectations, ready to meet your friends, getting comfortable with your loved ones but end up getting alienation from your countrymen.. instead, the community in a foreign land "treats you better")

are u sure u are home?

-Updates- (scroll down if it doesn't concern)

1) #1 Econs & A/Cs quiz are over, #2 coming up, with english project and Maths Test hot on my heels

4) Grown Fat
5) Reunion dinner with fellow Singaporeans

Classes Begins!

*cheers* with the returning students back to school, it looks really filled up, jam packed..
i see different races, nationality etc etc.. Groups hanging around, students doing things by their locker.. Totally the same as those high schools that appears in the movies..

Had the chance of meeting new people, introducing to the whole class, fist banging with the Africans small talks with Asians.. Gossips of one-sided admiration etc etc
Man, this is what i expect!
Except that I'm a bit too old for the crowd here..


This guy is 19 years old this year (=

I'll have tons of work and deadlines to be met in time to come,

Sunday : Trip to Toronto (NYC of US)
Breakfast was Tim Hotons and the bus ride to/fro Toronto is about an hour (ipod comes in handy)
Spent the entire day in Eaton Center Shopping.. Huge Mall with Uber Brands ( Banana Republic, Zara, Aldo, A & F, Roots, Guess etc etc )

Got myself a good deal @ 67.8SGD


Cheers, i'm satisfied.. oh and the "Hot Italian Hotdog" sold by Hotdog stand along the street : DElicious~!

Day 6 in Canada

Met new people from all over the country.. Interesting ones includes a thai and someone from Ghana, really interesting people after much interaction..
If i remember correctly, the guy from Ghana should be called "Schlomo" (think blood diamond or russell peters)

Together with my fellow SGer, we went to Metro (24hrs ntuc)

I was shivering..

It was snowing the whole day, it gets irritating when flakes of snow gets into my eyes..
When the cold wind blows, it sends chill down my entire spine, true taste of Canada some said..

oh ya, not to mention, smoking/drinking do help in keeping yourself warm :)
till then, i'm looking forward to sat's Niagara Fall and sunday's trip to toronto :D

Day 1 of school

Eh, it's only orientation week, highlights would be 2 diagnostic test.. namely English and Maths
English seems rather easy with the last part being a composition, 3 topics to choose from

1) In your opinion, how does the advancement of technology affect the way we communicate?
2) What are the challenges that every student will face when studying overseas?
3) How has the career of your parents affect you?

Guess which one did i pick..?

Oh ya, did i mentioned i met some Singaporeans :D
Singaporean/Canadian PR origins Suzhou (medical student) - doc, i need medical attention..!
Canadian Citizen/Singapore PR, lives in SG all his life - Good luck with NS after 8 months, get to me if you need help (=
Singaporean Singaporean - A year younger than me, Navy Unit for NS and a Rugger ( xian wei, he behaves quite similarly to you, less your cold jokes xD )

Feels better after meeting them, at least my singlish can be understand by some.. and yeah, we agree that school's cafeteria = NS cookhouse (serg, canteen break plsss)

Other than boring movtivation talks and those 2 tests, we had a small tour around hamilton ( didn't bring camera )


my new room, so small laa.. its about 6m x 8m

End off this post with Insomnia by Craig David

I never thought that I'd fall in love, love, love, love
But it grew from a simple crush, crush, crush, crush
Being without you girl, I was all messed up, up, up, up
When you walked out, said that you'd had enough-nough-nough-nough

Been a fool, girl I know
Didn't expect this is how things would go
Maybe in time, you'll change your mind
Now looking back i wish i could rewind

Because i can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more
Oh i stay up til you're next to me
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah

Remember telling my boys that I'd never fall in love, love, love, love
You used to think I'd never find a girl I could trust, trust, trust, trust
And then you walked into my life and it was all about us, us, us, us
But now I'm sitting here thinking I messed the whole thing up, up, up, up

Been a fool (fool), girl I know (know)
Didn't expect this is how things would go
Maybe in time (time), you'll change your mind (mind)
Now looking back i wish i could rewind

Because i can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more (without you no more)
Oh i stay up til you're next to me (to me)
Til this house feels like it did before (Because it)
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah (Ah), Feels like insomnia ah ah

Ah, i just can't go to sleep
Cause it feels like I've fallen for you
It's getting way too deep
And i know that it's love because

I can't sleep til you're next to me
No i can't live without you no more (without you no more)
Oh i stay up til you're next to me (to me)
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah

Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah

you're on my on laptop's background *cheers*

all-boys residence


80s

left-hand drive



that little box thing, its actually a bus-stop

moved into a new residence, which is just a street away from my school
(precious sleep, here i am :D)
a double room, yet to see my roommate who's on holiday.. Korean boy who plays soccer (park ji soon?)

school's in 3 hrs, and I'm not prepared..
*shrug* oh well, until then.. have fun =)

*you swept my feet off and made me wish I'm by your side
longing for your touch and smell
I miss home, mummy i wanna go home~!

Replies to tagboard

Benny : lai leh, combine bed and ask damien along :D
benno : thanks, don't you want a smile at the start of everyday?
lz : cheat la, mum offered me the 19' flat screen loo..

Jet lag, seems to be able to cope with it better already.. Manage to grab the much needed 8hrs of sleep staring at 10pm which is good :) however, I'll still need awhile to cope with the low temperature



Sat Afternoon - Went Downtown Hamilton, the supposedly sub-urban mall of Hamilton itself.. Got myself some stationery and walked around a bit.. Went into Dollarrama (their one dollar shop ) and bought myself the Smiley Mug, now i don't have to worry about low water pressure from the tap :)

People in Canada are relatively friendly, they'll greet you as and when possible.. The bus that brings me up the mountain ( my residence is in the mountain ) only arrives every 30mins.. Manage to see a few homeless people (think south park) and a mini strike that last for probably 15mins with barely 20 people.. Took place in the center square of downtown Hamilton.. Pace is really slow out here as compared to SG..

Thanksgiving - Junwei : for assurance and getting me back on track
Joyce : for your listening ears and making me realized certain things
Richard : Hooking me up with your gf despite a long day of work
Lyh : getting mum to talk to me
Lz : Helping me out with my blog
Michelle : Assurance and Realization
Qishu : showing me around, advices and a nice day out with all expenses paid :D

Sunday - *Yay*, met my long lost friend Qishu.. its been 5 yrs right? Thank God he's around, makes things a lot better.. Went to Lime-Ridge Plaza (think Jurong-Point with uber brands like Gap, Guess etc etc)


manage to grab a prepaid card from FIDO (starhub alike)
That means anyone can contact me at 1-905-920-1915 any time 24/7

Disappointment struck me when i hit the very first Wal-Mart in mountain plaza
nonetheless i still bought some stuff there - towel, cutlery, tapperwares..

Nothing beats entering an Asian supermarket


Lucky platoon 2 section 1 is not around, if not these has to be locked up..


Yo sis, looks like i beat u hands down in stocking up eh xD

Got to McMaster Uni and their medical campus/faculty , Huge.
and of course CIC itself, supposely the biggest International college in Canada but, like damn small sia..

Dinner was at some chinese resturant *woot* (i'm missing chinese food already) and lots of catching up thru out :D
After dinner, it was chilling at a nearby Taiwan Bubble Tea place (Mainly Asian and its close to CIC's female residence) *i can hear junwei , richard, dom, shek at the back of my brain and they'll be saying "go get them, new blood~!*
I was told that i'll be hanging out at that place pretty often just to chill with school mates or for dates.. (think PUA Day Game) xD

Got back to my residence only at 9pm odd and went to bed until now (argh jetlag)

It should be Monday back in SG, good luck to those whose school is starting yeah..?

Pictures tells a thousand words, more to come..

Jun Wei : thanks for the book, and accompanying me during my last days.. we've been through so much and we've always stick to what we plan, so lets wrap things up and get on to our next phase yeah? :)

Richard : Eh, when i'm typing this, i'm talking to u at the same time on msn :) this guy down here can't be serious.. either he's getting on people's nerve or he goes all out for you, just like how he always did for me :) seriously, the present u got me is almost perfect.. it'll remind me of u every 2 days whenever i use it.. You always mention that you're for Hos before Bros, i think its otherwise when it comes down to you and me yeah..?

Sweet, just finish talking to a long lost friend which i haven't met for 5 yrs, and he's coming to pick me up and show me around tml.. so much catching up to be done man, qishu ill be waiting :)

and of course to My dear Twins Miche :)
