Syncing

blogging for the first time using the new iMac..

haha.. mac is totally a different os from windows..

i took quite a long while to get a little use to the interface and single button mouse

but well.. the experience is still good..

and im allowed to do the thing i love - Synchronising

transfering tons of data is no joke.. and migration assistance doesnt work that well..

luckily there are still other clients that helps to sync data in different computer

apple's wireless keyboard...

its so small.. but classy

so heavy but boundless haha

and last time i checked its $98 lol..

its kind of nice to just type on it.. oh well..

just started to do tutorials..

and it aint that easy as i thought..

i guess im getting complacency and stuff

holiday is over.. its time to get back to work..

Home staying

its been another long while..
last time i was here was last year man.. sounds really long..
oh well..
the down side of blogging after a long period is the large amount of things to talk about…
and i tend to leave out some of the important moments that i wish to write it down..
results was out and i got quite a decent score..
just that bloody aerospace.. got a C
well.. i guess i really not cut out to read aerospace in university
however… saying that may not means im good enough for mechanic itself..
most of the modules last sem was elementary i guess.. its a time for people to strive and get the best that they can get.
but somehow the things they learn and studied so hard for during their jc times couldnt help them..
i heard people with 0.something gpa..
and academic warning and all..
hope the best for them
new semester coming this monday..
i got that pre-semester syndrome again..
dont feel like doing anything..
just keep myself in the room. and watch my dramas…
this semester i have lesser aus but more commitments..
ihg swim run
shooting
nis
sports camp progs
i hope i can manage it well..
oh.. i got the astronomy i wanted badly..
hahaha. although its not just stargazing but im still excited to read the module.. hope it will all turn out well
zhimin say im going to become an iMan soon..
iPhone iMac iPod and iPad soon
woohoo its always so excited to have a new apple product..
but the thing is iMac is going to be sent to my house when no one is around..
hahaha.. going to delay the shipment and all.. but all is worth it for the day event discount for chinese new year.
i can feel my tummy just by breathing in and out..
cui.. its time to get back in shape for myself and my lovely zhimin <3
hope that i wont get lazy to continue blogging..

First Semester

Sem 1 has just come to an end..
as we all know time flies when we are looking back..
teaching week of 13 weeks sounded kind of short..
but with recess week, orientation week study week and all the weeks we had for orientation camps.
its was much longer..
the journey started with the sports camp..
introduction to what a good orientation camp is all about..
with GLs and Programmers and the camp committee..
team work and good organisation is what I saw..
and im a programmer now..
I hope the journey created for the next batch will that awesome as well.
so it came the best world
then the best og in hall camp..
found myself a buddy for sch lectures and tutorials..
how rare to find one with all same time table..
day in day out… life with studying would be much boring without her laughter I believe lol
soon I got myself a sp so close that I tot I will be having a future with her…
things changed along the way…
we are not even friends now..
but oh well..
I happy that I found a probable love of my life at the same time..
somehow I see we will go far… very far
I had my 22nd day quite awesomely..
ndu.. tutorial mates.. sp… sr.. family…
shooting training took up much time as well..
with a team that possesses world class shooters
its kind of hard not to feel inferior sometimes.. but the amount of motivation is also there..
I will get close there sometime..
GPA is almost everyone’s problem..
why must gpa be such importance?
that people forget about the most important thing about education..
is to understand.. and become wiser..
not just some scores and all..
oh well.. nowadays no one understands anymore..
although I hope for first class results and all..
I wish I don’t become some guy I disapprove of myself…

Confident crisis

there is this module called the Effective communication im currently taking now..
they require us to present a 3 minutes speech.
and that idea of visiting the past just took over me…
I have got this strong motivation to present this idea
but the thing is the way of structuring truly is an issue..
3 minutes.. damn!… its one of this rare times that I will want to have a longer stage time man..
hahahha
intro body conclusion.. 3 mins.. you must be joking..
I really hope I can pull it off nicely..
got back CA results..
I think I did well for a few modules
like physics a maths and econs.. kinda of like the standard I wishing for..
but my most confident paper was the one I did worst.. computing zzz
I was so confident before the quiz but walked out of the lab feeling like shit..
I guess that’s a very good call for me to stop being over confident..
but, am I being over confident.. there isn’t any teacher to rely on any more..
university.. you ARE ON YOUR OWN!
ok.. more quizzes coming.. like just tomorrow there is one..
hope for the best again..
later

Recess

Recess week..
I thought this week will be the best week of all-time for the time I have been in NTU
first timer to experience recess week will feel lost I guess..
it’s a holiday.. yet so much to be done on the student part
projects, lab report, and mid terms that I don’t even know when is it..
hahah what a situation to be in before recess week..
its only one week.. seems long but adding all the hall activities and ccas and outings..
phew man.. time flies
although things are pretty much done..
but there are always this doubt that something is not done yet..

self discipline is really important in university..
even though a lot of people have made it into this level..
many of them still fall short on the portion
I hope I will carry this status peacefully throughout all 4 years

there is still chance to carry on on my shooting
I hope I wont disappoint them..
I will try my best in every training

programmer’s chalet was out of expectation
it was fun enough for me to want to stay on and mingle with them..
more gatherings to come and finally the sports camp for next year..
lets make SU19 a blast!

22 and growing

im 22.. and I had one hell of a 9 sep this year..
I never had so many cakes during my birthday before.. 7 cakes in total ba I think
Manting
NTU’s 31st divers – shern boshen felix alvin chin junhao and shane
hall 13 cama – shern wayne alvin feipeng mivio yeeting and sherry
tutorial group’s moon cake – louisa zhimin weizhen shina and dongxue
then their real cake
junliang and jinbin..
family..
special mention to my roomie shern..
made me dirty and all in the nie pond.. haha..
and of cos some roomie love photo frame
then manting for all her effort cooking the fried rice and buying the little cake and making the birthday card..
junliang and jinbin came all the way to my house to bring me their cake before midnight..
and htht to late…
tutorial groupmates were to nice to me when im trying to destroy all their plots.
haha sorry about that but well hahahah.. there was so many fails..
I don’t really celebrate birthdays… but this year’s birthday I really enjoyed it..
quiz and CAs are all round the corner..
did some and some more to come..
expectations of a uni module paper was that high..
but it wasn’t as expected for now..
no wonder they made the bell curve thingy ..
just hope my confidence will drive me through smoothly
shooting trial is in the coming week..
although im only like fighting for the reserve spot.. I will still do my best..
and maybe just one of the days I can beat those national team shooters in NTU?
ill stay positive for now and hopefully get into the team first then say la hor
ihg trainings and all starting soon..
its time for my fitness level to go up again..
my knee is the only thing standing in the way. I hope it wont do me more trouble
sports camp programmer had called me and im accepted as a programmer
it’s a happy thing I guess.. cos I really wanted to be one..
but at the same time commitments are going to increase and time spend must be well planned for everything..
phewww… its going to be busy and busier

OMP the BOMB

it has been what?
7 months? its freaking september already..
so it was long since we last met in such a large group..
when the facebook event pop-ed up from my phone..
i knew i cant miss this gathering event..
i felt it was so important that i requested my NTU shooting trial to be brought forward.
and FINALLY OMP…
Ow’s Meeting Place is somehow our home ground for 31st batch of divers to gather… i felt like home when i reach there seeing all of the others there welcoming us
the bond was really something to treasure between one and all of us 31st batch.. i believe all of them will feel the same way.. going through those tough times back in Unit.
after ORD, all of us went different ways..
NTU
NUS
SMU
SUTD
SIM
Scotland
England
Canada
work
and some sign on continue with their routine back in camp
stories were shared by each and everyone of us
one thing that is always discussed is our lovely hellweek..
like how our instructors used to tell us that our hellweek will be tough and all.. but you will never regret going through it.. cos ten fifteen years later.. when you see those people that went through the same week with you.. you will talk about the same thing over and over again…
we really need to thank all our instructors for those unforgetable moments back then especially WO Tan… his mind of torture is the best..
it is sad to know that the culture is changing and 1G NSF no longer producing from this unit..
oh well.. at least we made it through and thats why we can proudly call ourselves as 31st batch Naval Divers
Hooyah 31!
