I really need to re-organise myself at least once a week. I'm losing stuff everyday! And getting some stuff everyday! Ah!! I keep losing samll stuff like the Lumix spare battery. And gaining cute little soft toys from the courtesy of my Mum O.o

I'm planning to make way for some figurines i'm waiting to arrive at the top shelf of my table... Yet it's parked with all the cute little cuties from Mum... 2 Snoppies, one reindeerm one bull dog, 2 hello kitties, the rest are well mine =X one Badz badzmaru and a pooh bear... that's all!

Gonna post up the figurines when they come! Wee~!

My poly stuff are almost settled. So should to finish the enrollment by friday night. Maybe i'll personally go and hand it in myself.

Next stop is to apply for the NHG Health Science Bursary... This would allow me to have a monthly allowance. So i can reduce the finacial burden of my family. And i can get a job straight after poly! Heh.... Cool. My first few good decisions I made so far... As in the context of life changing matters, I made lots of mistakes. Hopefully i made the right choice this time!

The aftermath

Hmm, just found out that the diagnostic radiology course starts on 17 Apr! I'm still in NS then! What am I going to do?

Defer? or use leave? Might miss some lessons somehow...

I still gotta apply for the bursary at the National Healthcare group! Testimonials and stuff... OMG!

I don't think i'm heading for uni at the moment. Going straight into the radiology. meh... Doing NS then going straight into school is more crazy than what i expected. I can't wait one year for the course. That's bad. I'll 100% be rotting away.

I hope i can get this done straight away. Wish me luck!

If you guys have any ways of helping me, please by all means!

The starting

Lots of things happened today. It's like one of those rare lucky days.

First, i found another alternative to itunes, which keep crashing upon startup. Winamp 5.2! With a few tweaks and there, i syncing Jigoku shojo OST and Koda Kumi into my Ipod.

Next, the axim digitizer arrived! I waited for weeks! It's finally here! Started as soon as my bro handed me the torx screwdrivers.

Was kinda wary about snapping any parts inside. So i went on slowly, following the instructions after much seraching on google. Then i was done! I was quite disappointed when i put back the battery and it doesn't boot. Add in the battery backing and Voila! Just like brand new! Dell can go die... Waste of resource and money. Actually Dell called me 5 minutes before i started the dismantling. Offering a 10%-15% discount for the new unit. Pfftt....

Third lucky prize of the day! I got a place in Diagnostic Radiography in NYP! Weee~! Now it's a choice to consider this or wait for NTU... I'm not sending in for NUS.

The course has behaviour science! That's what i wanted! and lots of other stuff! More hands-on work! Me likes~! Not really into written lots of essays and equations. Maybe i'm 60% into it.

It's a path i have to choose. I'm most likely to go in alone and walk in unfamiliar path. But still, i'm waiting for results.

This means i'm still taking my SATs for SMU. hmmm...

No RO for another 4 more days! Gah!

Gunslinger girls

Bought this pictoral book from Kino. $36 with the help of the membership discount. I got it after much whimpering around, hesistating about the price. I'm over spending again! Stop this frenzy! Might get the remaining books on amazon.co.jp. Since theree is free shipping within Nihon itself, vpostjapan would save me lots!!!

I finished the Gunslinger girls anime! I'm pretty much taken in by the innocence of the girls. Going through high mental torturing treatment, that reduces their life, in order for them to be accustomsed to their mechanical bodies. Basically they are under a intelligence service. Raids and sniping are their speciality. Killing terrorists and stuff.

What impressed me the most is their innocence. So pure as like child. They are children after all. The constrast between the adults and the girls are just so interesting. Their affection for their adult counter parts is greatly shown throughout the series... So innocent!!! Me feels the purity of child innocence is what I treasure most.

When we grow up, we lose this innocence slowly... gradually. Putting up a front, often hiding behind a mask. Tainted by lies and power, the adult world is tainted.... Ah....


Hmm, would rate Gunslinger 4.3 out of 5 stars. =P Would watch it again.

Vendetta is a pretty philsophical twisted show. Nice end explosive ending. Well done, I must say. Maybe i'll get the DVD!

I dreamt about some jap anime girl the night before. I'm kinda amazed that throughout the dream, if i remember correctly, it was all in Japanese! OMG! It's one of my few weird dreams i ever remembered. Just basically, the converstions were in japanese and we were holding hands. O.o Kinda polite, the usual japanese politeness. She resembles Shinobu from Love Hina. Hmmm....

Then i got woke up by a phone call from some idiot....

Time to sleep, will i meet her again?

P.S. I know her name... =X

A view of my academic life


Side view

After sending out countless Uni applications, i'm still in its troublesome progress. I left NUS for the last. I don't think i can get in what I want. 3 1200 word long essays to write. It's going to take some time.

Looking back, would i be so troubled with my results were more polished? So it's my fault in the end. It has always been. I didn't retake the A levels because i didn't like to juggle between NS life and studying. NS life is fun and experience leveling greatness! So i didn't want to interfer with it.

So here i am dying to go somewhere for my uni. If all else fails, maybe i should go private unis like JCU or something.

haiz... 2 days of staying at home didn't really help me in saving money.$100 for SAT 1 registration online. $20 bucks to get the SAT book from amazon... so yeah... 120 buck poorer again. Not to mention $10 for NTU registration. I still have the NUS one to tackle with.... Still got to pay Leon for the CF card.... OMG....

Droplets for ORD

I can feel the change when i handled my appointment to my understudy. It was immediate. I'm back to my self. Relaxed and wandering self. No responsibility means that I'll start to slack again. Gotta start making myself commit to some for eg, my SAT 1! The ultimate soothing factor - The 'melodious' silence of my mobile phone! 03 cheers to ORD mood!

I spent my days now watching anime and playing DOTA and RO. I'm getting bored... I should start reading again. Piles og NG and Bicycling chuted at the corner of the room.

I'm really in the mood to shoot emails. Shot to Dell and the shop that sold the spare part on their inefficiency. Hope that they can wake up. Pathetic.

As for RO, I just created an Archer with Jem for the fun of it. I spent like 5 hours on it to be a Sniper. Pretty rewarding, I must say. Now currently spamming DS on sea otters and stuff. Still comtemplating on getting a falcon. Should i go pure dex and agi? Or i go shoot Crits like nobody's business?


Went through my old photos and i foud this! I like the composition taken. One of my rare few nice ones. Should really move my ass to take more photos this weekend.

Got a DVD writer, so it's time i get organised with my photos and stuff. Most prob be storing them in DVD-RAM. More reliable i think.

PS: Need to update goals...

Who stole my engine?

SAT 1 freaking costs $120 buck. I'm gonna take it in May! So it's study for the next 2 months.... no more games and stuff. I really need to get this straight and in for uni.... Would sign up for uni on sunday itself. Most prob psycho again at NUS and NTU. I really pray that i can get in either one of them, especially SMU.

Psychology wasn't really what i thought i would do in the past. I wasn't even interested in the begining... Until some massive intervention in life knocked the hell out of my brains. The engine just started rolling.

Really looking forward to the scuba lessons in may. lol, it's either scuba lessons or JAp lessons at the Banka JAp school. Heh, i hope i can take the latter in the future. time to sleep. I don't think i'm going to sleep tomorrow. Need to think of stuff to write for my entrance essay....

They make you pay more to upgrade to completely cover for it. now i have to pay about $400 to replace it? A new unit! I just wanna change the cracked digitizer.... So screw Dell, i'm going Sim Lim or send overseas or DIY... The damned digitizer just cost US$50...
