Woooooooootttttttt.............. Whose gonna win this.......... Richmond on three..........
Coach Carter rocks yah.......... Sports inspirational film never failed to amaze me........... Remember The Titans, Replacements and many more...........

Samuel L Jackson the man........... Wonderful acting, wonderful casting, .......... I have always remembered him since the film; "Basic"............

Lotsa quotes in the show which struck me........... My favourite was from Timmo Cruz.......... But its kinda long and i would have to rewatch to copy that down...........

So i will just settle for second best first..........

"My plan had failed,
I came to coach players but you all became students,
I came to teach boys but you all became men."

- Kennedy Carter, Coach Carter -

Lotsa rave review i had heard for this........... Make that one more from me........... Its real good.......

Lotsa fun last night playing Mahjong with LN, Ed and Anna........... Arrrgghhhh shucks.......... I just cant seems to win "5 fold"......... lol.......... Always seems to be taken away from some "1 fold, 2 fold" play......... Lol............ :p

Next time dudes.............

Woot....... An interesting fact from CSI.......... Some neurotic sciences thingy..........

Asked a question to anyone and when he/she looking right meaning recollection, looking left meaning creation or fabricating..........

Wow.......... Dont know how true is that.......... But it certainly is interesting..........

Visited Dad........ Not so bad but lotsa vomitting......... Get well soon, Dad......... :)

Mom, Bro and Bro's gal friend there too......... Lol.......... I always thought getting married was fun........ Really hope Bro and Esther take the vow soon........ Esther seems a really great gal........ A great match hur hur.......... *Grinz*

Woot.......... Not bad hur.........

Lol........ The one day event thingy is my best job ever......... Slack, fun and short working hours........ 3 Hours for 50 bucks.......... Woot, what a deal.......... All thanks to Adrian Goh for that deal........... :>

Serene and Elizabeth introduced the lingo S.O.S......... Lol......... Not "save our souls" but "sort of seeing"........... Lol........... Didnt heard that before in my life........... And they assumed that im in that status......... Bah.......... Maybe thats the impression peepz have of me........... But hell no........ :p

Started "Pelican Brief"........... Not getting heated yet.......... Could be getting there yeah..........

Started "CSI" too........ Lol........ First season though......... Liked the effects......... Kinda cool........
The show had some really interesting views and quotes..........

"It took five guys to kill the man but it would only take one guy to save him"
- Grissom, CSI -

Gosh.......... Part infuriating part delighted..........

Delighted as i got an A- for my Comms which was totally unexpected......... B or B+ was quite good for me already as my initial assignments was crap......... Really thanks to my Comms group effort for pulling me up........ Kudos...........

Here comes the infuriating part......... Though i got B+ for TWC and im generally happy with it but what got me heated was the class participation component......... My ass got screwed real bad.......... Its crap.......... Adrian Zhuang got screwed the worse........... The score he got for class participation real absurd.......... LN too........ They definitely deserved more than what they are given..........

Im all behind ya for appealing........... Go go Adrian...........

Anyway after some consideration, i decided not to appeal as i needed a '6' marks increment to get a jump in grade........ Prof might give me a few marks after appealing but it wont changed anything......... Bah......... So im just gonna whine like a bitch........ Bear with me yeah........

A and an A+ would allowed me to break the 3.6 cap........ Real ambitious here........ But a realistic shot.......... Just gonna pray real hard that LTB will get at least an A-.......... Ive got a bad feeling that i would get B+......... I dont know why.......... OOS going for the hunt of A+..........

So its really up to LTB to squeeze me into the 3.6 and of course try to maintain it from here......... Maybe im goal oriented afterall........... As i have always used Bro's second upper as a benchmark......... Godspeed....... Im gotta prove my worth to certain peepz.........

Lol........ And hopefully "Ass Crack", "Card Swipe" wont give me bad karma......... Lmao......... Im in the wrong and please forgive me..........

Godspeed..........

Interview at LTM was ok i guessed.......... Felt confident about it and i hope its gonna be good......... :)

Facil retreats at CDANS was so so........... Gotta know more peepz.......... And i hope the section gonna get real crazy and cranky for the camps......... Gotta rockz the camp......... :p

Lol........ Celebrate your birthday at 85......... Woot......... Beat that huh.......... Ill probably never forget this for the rest of my life......... Lol......... Was fun though.......... Lol......... LN still sing darn loud to attract attention........ Lol Bro...........

Hey, on a serious note.......... Really wanna thanked you guys.......... Not just for today but for the past few months which we spent together......... Through good and bad hur.......... Its always great to have you guys around......... :>

posted at 21.4.05 _________________________________________________________________ Tuesday, April 19, 2005

Appreciated tonnes for what the Ripplez did for me.......... Thanks guy........... Been long since i eaten a birthday cake of my own......... Lol........... Its not the cake, its not the gift........... Even if its a curry puff or pork floss bun, i would also be real touched and happy............. You guys rockz......... And i know i have been loved......... Wakakaka.......... :p

Went down to JB for the routine post examination celebrations.......... Real fun and dirt cheap for everything.......... Food and drinks......... Feasted like a king and average 20 Sin per pax for that kinda food is real bargain.......... A bottle of wine, liquor and 4 jugs of draft adds up to 10 Sin per pax.......... Gosh.......... Gonna make this a tradition in my faculty man........... So cool.........

Just like the Princeton tradition of running around amok without clothes.......... Woot...........

Went for the CAC meeting......... Seems interesting but its kinda hard to work out as i had facil commitments......... Hmm........ Gotta look for another job already..........

Castor sorta opened up my mind........... Hey dude........ Thank you so much.......... Your heading for fame im gonna tell ya........... Fortune 500 cover with your big smiley portrait in it isnt far from now........... And yeah......... Waiting for that wedding invitation huh......... *Wink wink*

Finished "The Firm"........... Gosh........ One helluva novel......... 9/10......... Page turner read.........

One dialog really crack me up......... Even the other passenger on the train caught me and probably thought im insane laughing at a novel

"You're outta your mind, Mitch. If you think you can take your million and ride into the sunset, you're a fool. They'll have goons on camels riding the deserts looking for you. Don't do it, Mitch."

John Grisham, "The Firm", Page 426

Lmao......... Hmm peepz that read this book would probably understand the humour behind it........ I just love Grisham's portrayal of characters........... Never failed to crack me.........

Fibbies and Goons hur hur......... Lmao............ Your real good there, Mitch Mcdeere, real smart ass..........

Next up, "Pelican Brief"...........
Here we go again..........

Sigh......... Chatted with Serene over a sensitive issue.......... Actually i felt it some time ago already......... The whole issue really bull crap..........

In pursuit for that A+.......... A rift had surfaced in something so precious and so indestructible; Friendship........... "Dog eat Dog" world hur hur............ Everyone wanna be in that ultimate grouping when there aint any.......... Its bull crap...........

Political shit that occurs even between friends........... Its disgust me totally........... I felt strongly for this as its this group of friends that made my life in Uni pleasant......... Its uncalled for.........

Camps evolved, strategy plotted, ruse and ploy devised.......... Hey, it aint "Romance Of The Three Kingdom".......... Its a group of nice peepz........... Sigh~~~

I dont wanna be embroil in this kinda political shit........... It just isnt me............. But to see it happening right in front of my eyes is something really pathetic............

Hopefully things will resolved on its own............

Alright........... Concluded a year of academic studies at SMU......... Its one helluva year......... Hectic pace and yet exciting.......... Loved it......... Its the style of the system and most definitely the fellow students that made me love this school........... SMU rawks...........

Made tonnnes of friends as well.......... And even more aquantainces...........
Its fate huh.......... Different path are woven and yet it inter-twined at this juncture of the life......... Destiny hur hur............ Three more years to go and im sure i would meet more of them......... :>

~~Event~~

Throughout this year.......... The event which impacted me the most would be the YEP trip to Cambodia.......... Every flashback still so vivid but yet surreal..........

The girls in the tub changed my perpectives of happiness totally........... Im so astounded by them that i go deep into thoughts.......... I still remembered Shumei was discussing about them with me......... After everyone in the group left for the podium, i was still right there looking at the girls..........

The girls might be waddling in a metal tub through the river begging for anything at all.......... But they are the most happiest peepz i ever seen.......... The emotions overwhelmed through me just could not be described through words...........

~~Friends~~

Fab 5
IS peepz
YEP mates
Team Ripple Effect Matez
and many more that couldnt be classed into any.......... Like Ker Choon, Serene etc.

Really glad to have known this bunch of peepz.......... You guys brightened my life..........
Peepz like May, Anna attitude towards friends always made me feel very guilty.......... Always making little little gadgets and surprises for their pals...........

All the little gifts like the spatula, photo album, little pretty cards with well wishes always left me touched and speechless.......... Spatula and photo album from Anna, Cards from Eve and Yi Ling.......... All those gifts are really my treasure..........

All the concern showered at the time when I needed it the most gave me warmth......... Lol......... Thanks yah Ker Choon and Serene........ *Wink*...........
Speaking of Ker Choon always tickled me.......... Lol......... Kay poh or concern huh??? Lmao........ Superficially would be the former but deep down would be the latter huh huh......... So thanks thanks............

IS guys are da bomb............ No two ways about that........... Though we always have the geeky, techie kinda tag but you guys know what......... I think that we are the coolest bunch around.......... Though having said that we must still endure being the power point guys, computer repairing peepz........... Lol........ Thats the curse of IS........... Fuck Desai........... Wooooot...........

This entry getting longer hur.......... On a roll but dont wanna strain my little bloggie........... Lol....... Bloggie is always the best listening ears around...... Coz bloggie had no choice.......... Booooo............

Signing off, Sophomore Ray............. Rock onz............
Cheerios.............

Woooooootttttt............. The exam ended fairly smoothly.......... Not that i did well for it......... But at least i do not think that i stumbled upon the two vicious papers..........

Headed down to Wala's for a chilling out session with Yvonne, LN, Jia Hui, Hui Ying......... Had a great time as usual......... Great drinks and great company..........

The superb "Hor Fun" was kinda routine already......... It kinda mandatory already......... Anyway i would say its darn nice.......... Woot...... 5 stars rating hur hur..........

5 peepz in all, 2 idealists and 3 cynical peepz.......... Thats the party we had for the night.......... Im always kinda perturbed to see cynic peepz........ Regardless of peepz, friends, work, life, relationship whatsoever............ The fact that these 3 cynical peepz are some way or rather close to me disturbed me even further.......... Its kinda grow into me........ Maybe im weird...........

Hencefore i shall dedicate this entry just for the three musketeers...........

A bad mistake or past just do not determined your life.......... Everyone had seen it worse.......... If its just for that one pitfall that made you stuck right in there.......... Then i jolly well say that you deserved it.......... As everyone with a survival instinct would crawled their way out no matter what........... You peepz are probably stuck in the darkness of the pit and giving up any chance of survival as you had tried it all...........

But somehow, someday............ A light would illuminate your path........... A light so bright that you peepz deserved would lead you outta the solidatary darkness......... The white knight in plated armour had saved one........... I hoped that in times to come, the champion with a lance would pierced through that cynism bubble and show you the light............. The hope that had long been distinguished would once again be re-ignited.......... And probably then you peepz would see through the troubled waters and attained true happiness...........

*Gallop gallop gallop.......... pop pop pop through the cynism bubble............ Shine shine shine the path that leads to the seventh heaven...........

:>

Regards sleepy Ray.......... ZZzzzzzZZZZZZZzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZ..........

~Girls That Changed My Perpectives Of Happiness~

posted at 13.4.05 _________________________________________________________________

Boooooo.......... Exams starts from tomorrow........... Swift death though......... Ending on Friday noon and nirvana awaits me then...........

Been rather slack in the mugging yah......... But hey......... Thats always been me yah......... Read quite a bit on TWC and hopefully its enough......... Gonna pray again for the papers......... Quoting from Luke..........

"Luck is not enough, we need divine intervention"

Lol.......... Gonna hug the buddha's leg while sleeping..........

Lick it periodically i suppose............ And Serene suggested wearing red underwear..........

*Shout across the room*............ Hey Sis, could i borrow your pink/red undies for just a day, please please please.............

Amitabha.........
Allah..........
Godspeed...........

Went to Shi Qi's dad wake this evening.......... Im kinda glad that she took it very well.......... Though im not close to her but i still kinda understand the pain of losing a close kin.......... Take care there alright....... The timing kinda harsh too........ Smack right in the midst of the exam period........... Luckily the Professors helped her in this matter............ :>

Headed down to 85 with LN and Anna........... Hey, really wanna express my heart felt thanks man......... You guys have been a blast........ In fact you all are the best thing that ever happened to me in SMU............. Had a really nice chat down there yah...........

Im kinda in a fix.......... Some part of me agreed with LN, while some part of me also agreed with Anna.......... Maybe i shouldnt just give up just like that.......... Everything just appear to be wrong.......... I seriously dont know what to think of it........... Its just not me to stop thinking about it totally and ignoring it...........

Even if the last nail went hammering into the coffin........ I would still like to know whats the colour of the nail......... Only until then the dead will rest peacefully.......... I hope someday i will know the colour of the nail......... Some part of me hope that i will resurrect from the dead.......... Hanging right there in the middle yeah...........

I dont wanna be in a state of self denial.......... I wanna know the truth........... "Im not good enough" is seriously not good enough for me.......... But i dont wanna push it.......... Let nature takes it course............

Thanks once again to LN and Anna........ Love ya guys lots..........

Lol........ The truth hurts yah........ Hurts kinda bad......... But at least recoverable after a few good late night supper at 85........... Should have done it earlier.......... Its kinda lucky too that i wasnt too optimistic right from the start......... Its time to eat the humble pie.......... And im happy that i said it......... Its the first in my 23 years of life.......... I made a break through...........

The rain drizzled and the cold wind blows........... It kinda better now after pouring my hearts out........ Maybe it isnt really that deep yet huh......... Fate always have an uncanny ability to twiddle with puny human beings.........

Wheeeee......... Though it sucks.......... But at least i could feel a fresh new day without guessing into peepz mind......... Mind reading is tired......... And i suck at mind reading too......... Wakakaka.......... At least i wont be anticipating MSN beeps and orangie light flashing on the screen......... At least there wont be any more fleeting images when im reading about "Product Innovation vs Process Innovation"............ At least i wont wait up till the night.......... At least i wont sacrifice car rides so that i could walk to the bus stop......... At least i wont wait for "171" so that i could leave later........... Woooottttt........... Im cleared........... And weightless..........

Hope all parties wont feel bad though.......... This entry is for the suppressing emotions i carried though the weeks......... Its not meant as a weapon or tool to guilt any party...........

And Anna........ Look like im stuck with ya......... Wakkakaka........ You sucks bad..........


Night bloggies...........

Hahaha........ Recce trip with David...... Lol..... What a letdown though....... End up shopping for cheap clothes and looking around the island....... Got some cheap bargain though...... A nice Wrangler shirt and some anonymous T-Shirt....... Niceeee....... An exciting episode also happened........ Would like to thank the uncle again for getting us outta the fix...... Thanks Corinna, David, Keith, Carmel, Reese and Yan Yee for the chilling out sessions as well....... Had fun there....... :>

Officially started mugging for exams....... Am taking it on with a leisure pace...... Tried to cover TWC first during the initial few days before tackling OOS...... Hopefully am discipline enough to carry out the plan successfully........ Been slacking the past few days though......

Hated uncertainties and once again facing them head on....... Bahhh....... Elucidate me...... Even for a bit would do so much good....... Let there be light~~~

Poof*

Wahhh........ Halfway through "The Firm".......... Gosh......... Its good, boy......... Real good..........
The Morolto family coming along real nice........ Lazarov the only mystery character now.......... Gonna reached him real soon..........

Ive been thinking why i liked Grisham and Brown so much more than the other authors which i have chanced upon so far.......... I guessed it the animated characters in the novel........ They are so alive....... And the figure of speech used are so crude and hilarious at times...........

Are all Americans liked that??.......... Lol..........
After this would be "Pelican Brief"............ But before all this would be TWC and OOS text...........

Forecast Of Grades Before Exams
-----------------------------------

OOS: A
TWC: A-
Comms: B
LTB: A-

Im real optimistic here...........Grinz....... God bless........... A whole new picture will be painted after the exams.......... :)

What a pity............
