NUS Open House!

Ookie...Open house day 1 came went by me. So fast sia...and I could not do a status report from inside the MPSH 5 'cos there was NO CONNECTION! Damnit. Super dulan la.

But other than spilling out expletives here, I must say that being the first time doing an Open House (yes the previous time I was down with Chicken Pox), it was an eye-opener. People who came for the OH were from different levels - JC 2 kids, NSFs, students applying for university (yea this is the group we're looking out for!) - but we also see Sec 4 kids (wtf?!) and students with their parents! Hmms...well dealing with the latter was so much easier...Haha.

Met all different types of people today, some were nice and listened to your talk despite the heavy metal music from the stage and blasting of radio by the RadioPulze people, while others asked questions and we were able to give them some thoughts and an occasional description of where we had actually traveled before. Experience on treks do count :)

Of course, there were those who were stuck up and ignored your flyers, or look at you incredulously as though you're an alien from outer space. Oh mans, spare me the agony of talking by saying that you're not interested, or be nicer. Yea. That's what happened to some of us.

But overall the turn out was pretty good despite the apparent 1-day Open House NTU is doing. Managed to get a decent number of people who placed their names down for our FOC mailing list, so it's good for us! Good start to the Open House!

Moreover, we also got queries regarding our diving trips and trekking trips, and I think that's good despite our focus for the OH - to gather more people interested in our FOC. One small step at a time...

After packing up with Geoks and Hwibee, we went for dinner at Clementi's Botak Jones! Din know where BJ was, and HB brought the 2 of us there. While the 2 girls tried out the Double Botak, I tried their Fish n Chips and it was great! Hmms...nice food, but it seemed too big a portion for a person...gotta share it! The fish was tasty and smooth, and the chips were slightly spicy, nice!

Saw Jiaxing and Elaine at BJ too! What a coincidence! The Tiny-Sandking combo which I always kenna. lol.

Gonna rest for tomorrow's X-Physique! Nites!

Falling apart.

And gluing back the pieces together.
And falling apart again.
And gluing them back again.

Do the gluing work? Hmms...are bonds treasured even though you've laughed and smiled and did things silly? Are they of value even in the slightest of quarrels?

I guess not.

But anyway, we've to move on. Come back to earth.

While deep in thought, I'm busy uploading pictures to the new Rovers webbie! Ah Mu has done a great job in doing up the image mapping, and hopefully we can build from there and you guys can enjoy the new site with more pictures and info! Weiguang is also doing the same thing as me...so we can crap...while he...uhh...eats his udon *roll eyes*

And here I am, in the middle of the night, reading anime online (Naruto!) and awaiting the downloading of my precious Naruto anime...and the weekend is filled with Open House (gosh! Come and have a look!) and X-Physique with Bing Ying, Cindy and Nian Jia on Sunday!

This is gonna be a helluva of a weekend...lol!

I hate Udon (Part 2)

Nice scare for the start of the day...to ask us to go for a viva when he has already done one. Phew, luckily we clarified the matter with him before we made our minds to go (or not?).

And he threw another stunt yesterday. No notes available.

I was online at 2230hrs and spoke to Zhansheng to check whether was it me, or was there REALLY no notes.

No notes...so I waited for another hour or so (while doing something else DOTA) and talking crap online.

And finally...still no notes! That's super crap. I was particularly pissed, so I just decided to do my project, forget about going to school the next day for his lecture, and see how it goes.

And apparently, my decision THIS TIME was correct. His lecture lasted an hour or so. His notes were only given to the year rep to photostat only yesterday. So the people who went for his lecture were sitting there (like fools) without notes, and needing to do another webcast to hear what he said again.

What a waste of time! And twice in a row!

If someone there actually fell for the 'trap' twice, he/she oughta be aggrieved. It's really being evil for the lecturer not to provide notes (yea you can dun upload it, but at least print for the class? Like what my nice GEK1022 lecturer does whenever he uploads the files late), and furthermore, to shorten the 3 hour lecture to just an hour long. What does it tell you about him as a lecturer, and to the students who had to wake up early in the morning to attend his 9am lecture?! Geez.

I totally give up on him mans...

Trips!!!!

I figured that I should JUST do some advertising here...teeheehee...

Trips for May/Jun are out, so watch out for this space guys, 'cos I'm gonna update more stuff! :) Photo-blogs for the trips will come soon...2 months' time!

I hate Udon

Yea. I hate my lecturer (I shall not say his name out loud here, so I'll use a pseudonym 'Uddin') for making me have a wasted trip down to school on a sleepy rainy morning for only 10 minutes of pathetic lectures.

Woke up after a 4 hours sleep (or nap???) and went to school. Bus was fast, and I reached school in half an hour on board a barely filled 151. Good start to the day, I smiled to myself.

The rain had continued since yesterday, and it was still drizzling. Took a slight detour to the LT instead of the normal short-cut I use when it's not raining. The lecture theatre was barely filled when I entered. And I thought, maybe I was late, or maybe I had gone to the wrong LT?

I wasn't wrong.

The LT managed to fill up to barely 25% of its capacity and Mr 'Udon' Uddin promptly started the lecture (which, btw, was webcasted). But hey, there's less than 25% of the whole class there, and it was raining, but he seemed pretty fine with it.

So there we were, sitting there like fools while he went through the slides from the previous lecture. And he did say that he's not starting the next chapter till the next week.

I went "WTF?!?!" to Jialiang and Daryl, who were next to me. It's a super waste of time, and he had 2 hours to finish 4 slides???

I can't believe that he made people go down to listen to his oh-I'm-so-handsome-but-super-boring lecture early in the sleepy (and rainy) morning) for only 4 slides!

Why didn't he start a new chapter when he has a 3 hour lecture?!?!?

Maybe, in doing so, he can get his early day off, have an early break/longer lunch hour (maybe can go out with fellow zuo-bo-ers to eat) and then end off with a quick tutorial at 2pm. Wow! End of day!

And how much did I pay my school fees for such a lecturer? He doesn't even deserve his pay...and if I'm paying for HIM to do HIS research here then it's a f**king waste of students money, cos we paid $$$ for him to TEACH us, not to do his pathetic RESEARCH.

And apparently this is not the first of Udon's misadventures. There are reports of him not showing up for viva for labs, and emailing the groups he was supposed to viva in the morning and asking them to go to his office on that very evening the email was sent out for a make-up viva. WHAT THE F**K? It's plain lazy and how could you (1)have a make-up viva when it is not done in the lab and you did not even inform the students that you could not see them on the lab day itself, (2)assume that people have their email on 24/7 and expect them to be free any time you want them to be?

Not to forget...his misadventures during our test, as well as a senior lecture in which he just went home w/o telling the class, making them wait. Well, the latter was overheard.

But this is really pathetic. I'm just hoping that I can get by this module, get a good grade like a B+, and f**k off this lecturer. I hate Udon and Udon's on my black-list (pun intended).

What a great way to start the day. And I wasted my time. I'm seething with anger now.

After-note: Managed to reach home by 11, so I'm still ok in terms of handling tomorrow's test. Got time to revise now. Haha.

After-After-note: I seldom get angry...so this time I'm super pissed. Yea. I hate him. And maybe another Seow Kok Siong v1.1. Yea. Look out for more if he really evolves into one.

Fate/Stay Night

Latest Anime which I'm catching (albeit on YouTube), on top of Naruto and Deathnote. Well, it's a pity that you dun get much seeds for this anime, and it was released quite some time back.

Fate/Stay Night is an anime television series which follows (very closely) to the TYPE-MOON visual novel Fate/Stay Night. There are three branching storylines: Fate, Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel. It's also made into a PC game, and I've heard (and read) that it has explicit hentai scenes (gosh!). But anyway, this anime is just purely suggestive, so it's similar to those of Evangelion and the-what-nots.

The story revolves around the main character, Shirou, and his servant Saber, who are participating in the 5th Holy Grail War. Well, all of us should have heard some stuff about the Holy Grail, and this anime series does draw some mythological and legendary figures into the picture. To materialise the Holy Grail, a ritual is held, with the Holy Grail selecting 7 wizards (masters) and 7 familiar spirits (servants). The Servants are: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker.

Why should you catch this? Well, in my opinion this is quite an interesting (though short) series if you are interested in legends and mythical beings. Of course, being a combat-type anime, it's better if you like fighting and magic, rather than comedic or thought-provoking type of anime (because there are few funny scenes).

Try to catch it on YouTube. It's all uploaded there! ;)

Of Lettuce and Long Queues...

I hate people who misuse the AXS Machine!!! The AXS Machine is meant for people to collect the tickets they've booked online, if the booking collection queue is long, and if you really want to know which movies still have seats, can you just make a couple of strides over to the walk-in counters to do so?!?!? It's really a pain in the ass when there is a long queue in front of the AXS machine in GV Vivocity, with 4 people (I suppose they looked like 20+++???) trying to buy (or view?) tickets for the movies, while the rest of the people were waiting patiently behind them!

And gosh..maybe they did that 'cos the walk-in queue was really too long. It was madness. And it was just 4pm in the afternoon, on a Wednesday.

I seriously wondered why people never told them to hurry up, or the GV staff never offered to help them, who were clearly wasting time and having their faces stuck right in front of the that small pathetic screen. Perhaps it's in our nature not to stir trouble?

I stood there for barely a minute, and seeing that they are still fiddling with the touchscreen with little success, I decided to move on to the online ticket collection queue instead. At least, I was able to get my tickets EVEN BEFORE those 4 left the AXS machine. Pathetic.

That aside, finally met up with my jie to watch Protégé...

I must say it's a nice movie! Though I was wondering why is Daniel Wu at the side of the poster when he's seemingly the main lead in the movie? Andy Lau's cool as a drug dealer, and I must applaud his speech on anti-smoking. (Maybe we can use that in future anti-smoking campaigns?) Anita "MIA" Yuen was a bit disappointing as her role did not seem of much importance, and Louis Koo was really a bit-part player in this stellar (?) cast. Well...balancing 5 stars in a single movie isn't easy, but I think they managed to pull it off.

I particularly liked Zhang Jingchu's character, her role as a single parent mum (till Louis Koo came back in her life) struggling with providing her daughter with a decent life, and her life being messed by drugs...At least there was some dignity left in her when she died. It was quite sad that her character had to die in the hands of her husband, who was caught trafficking drugs to Singapore (lol). The sight of Louis Koo sweating like crazy was quite funny.

Loneliness is more powerful and scarier than drugs? That seems like the theme for the movie, and that's why people turn to drug to escape loneliness. Simple yet straight-to-your face message.

A gory part of the movie was how the cop's hand was whacked off while attempting to open a lock (wah lao...where got people do that one?) and how another cop was trying to shoot to open the door, and the bullets ricocheted off the door instead and hit his colleague. And another, on how Andy Lau's character died by cutting his own throat with a piece of tile from the toilet.

All in all, a wonderful movie. 4 out of 5 stars!



Post-movie dinner was great! Tried out Kim Gary's and after a short wait, we managed to get a seat. Seemed quite similar to the one I ate in KL previously, with all the cheese baked rice and such. After that, we popped by Giant Hypermart to get some stuff for Eup's mom, and waited for 30 minutes for lettuce which never arrived! Apparently the person thought we wanted parsley, then celery. Sheesh...Next time if there aint any more vegetables left on the racks, it just means it's sold out. lol.
