Wad will u do when u have a time table with 3 hrs or 2 hrs break?

Well, given suggestions will be:

1.Business Lib --- Oh not again, I’m tired of it already. Biz lib is always packed with students especially during the peak hours (12-3pm). I loved the moments when I spent with my classmates seating in the one corners of the shelf n chat abt our lecturers [well, trying to be positive all the times hehehe:p] latest shows & movies…Giggle & laughter would be the bunch noisy of us!!! So Biz lib IS NEVER QUIET MUHAHAHA…so sometimes I wonder whether it works when Singapore Poly students hear this [Pls ensure that the lib is a conducive place for studying, do not make so much noise] Sadly, the librarians had taken strict actions to stop the noise so there goes our chat spot Talking abt watching movie in the lib, hmm…it’s a bit squeeze for a group of 5 & sometimes no more tv left sigh sigh…

2. Want to get urself sweaty & smelly. Well, we have running track, basketball court, tennis court but Today, we are juz reluctant to do so…so any other choice. Okie let’s c wad we are left….

3. After much thoughts, we headed to Moberly.

Check this out:

KBox to sing ur heart out!!! Even though it’s a bit expensive, $1 per hr but the room can occupy abt 10 ppl…its juz that there’s only one mic n in the worst condition muhahaha…but most importantly will be to have fun as a class together yea yea

Anyway, if u don’t want to have a hole in ur pocket, take our suggestions. Proceed to level 3. Wonder wads there awaiting for u….monopoly, uno cards and uno stacko etc. I juz feel like we were back at the olden times [hey mind you! We are still young, of coz during sec sch times!]. So Yvonne was like puffing & puffing to make the uno stacko tumble which it really DID!!! N it was my turn aarghhh, which I let out a loud scream hahaha n stunned the rest of the people in the room. Wei Ni & Pei Shan were always the lucky ones…Lina had the most flexible fingers among us hehehe…she took out one by one effortless. Chay Ying was hilarious coz her fingers trembled hahaha when the stacko were abt to fall..hehehe…

So lets MUG MUG TOGETHER in Singapore Poly

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the WORLD walks OUT:)

Sweaty…Laughter…Fun

Revealing the secrets of our Business class….DBA 2A 10…Singapore Polytechnic. Well, what will u do when u have 2 hrs of break??? Well, is it sleep in business library..do revision (UNLIKELY HAHAHA) or skip class (SHOULD NOT:p)

The boys had planned to go gym today but they change their mind to play basketball instead! So we ( myself, Lina, Yvonne, Chay Ying and Wei Ni) joined them after a licking fingers lunch…guess where??? Of coz none other than KFC muhahahaha…becoz Yvonne had brought coupons along n we bought buddy meals…Hmm..realised that Yvonne will shake leg n move her head when she is very happy hahahaha…we all laughed at her..Mei Ying couldn’t join us coz she had to meet her friends hehehe..so off we go to the basketball court.

Firstly, some of us were complaining it was scorching..(Gals are always too worried when it comes their face complexion..dont want to be charcoal:p, well cant blame them can u??) Anyway, after much arguing and pushing hahahaha, we formed our grp by the Traditional Way---Black or White!! So my grp [me, Kenneth, Sebestian, Zhong Yong, n our expert, Yvonne (Till today that I found out she was the CAPTAIN in her SEC SCHOOL team…WOW, don’t be shocked when u see her hehehe, even though she is the smallest in our class..she plays like the wind wahahaha..try her if u dare)

Hmm…it was a hilarious game honestly, coz guess wad Wei Ni scored consecutively 5 times ( Everyone was so impressed n shocked n we clapped everytime she scores) Hey, are u sure u are not a basketball player??? Everyone asked her…she shyly replied “ OF COZ NOT”. Oh ya, Wei Ni screamed everytime she caught the ball or trying to score ahahahaha, which makes everyone laughed till our stomachs were so painful..not tired of running but laughing…Well, our group was actually in the losing end hahaha till Yvonne gained her momentum n ran all the way..ALONE n WOosh went the ball into the basket!! YEaH, we screamed. Not forgetting, Chze Wee was really a rough player…he has no mercy..guess that is the spirit of boy nah nah…maybe MAN!! NO MERCY hahaha..HEY but we gals..well ladies n its our first time. BUT majority all of them were gentleman:D Oh ya, my hands were like jelly n couldn’t catch the ball at all n my members were like HEY, Be aggressive!!! They laughed at me but I’m FINE hahaha…I guess my hands have rust wait till the next time I will prove them wrong YEA YEA!!!

The WORST thing was abt MY LEG (wonder who is this?....continue to visit us ) hahaha..he was only in BOXERS…oh for goodness sake..ALL THE GALS screamed wahahaha…that is absolutely RIDICULOUS hahaha..so we shouted at him to put on his jeans..then he did all the funny dances n we showed him the most disgusted expression which he finally agreed to be NORMAL!!To END, I’m really so HAPPi HAPPI that together our class we had so much excitement!! N that bonds us even closer together as one happy family in School of Business.

NEXT MON, we are playing badminton---My specialist hehehe..GONNA Trash them all.

During the school holidays, my parents took me on a short trip to bangkok for my long promised shopping trip! The shopping over at Bangkok is S-U-P-E-R-B! Things there are so very cheap and the food that is so delicious. The four days that i was there was purely shopping. Went to a wholesale mall where i got lots of clothes at really cheap prices. Visited a night market and the things there were really interesting. They had apparel, paintings, decorative items and a whole lots more down to medicated oil that one lady ask me to try smelling! haha! You name it, they have it. The last day before we left, woke up at 7 plus just to head down to the weekend market that is 5 times bigger than the night market i went to! It's really massive that i couldn't complete walking the whole of it. Me being the shopaholic was practically at the apparel section the whole time. There were like 7 to 8 lanes of shops that were selling apparels! IRRESISTABLE! If you ask me to go back to Bangkok now, i would gladly say yes yes yes!

Facing the truth

2007-10-07T15:19:00.000+08:00

Comparing to secondary school, subjects in singapore polytechnic are obviously more useful for our future. Thus, it's of more depth and thus, it would definitely be more tough as compared to secndary school. In secondary school, we have small tests here and there and then "poof!", one year is over. However life in polytechnic is really different, we have lots of projects awaiting us as well as mid semestral tests and of course the final exams. EVERYTHING COUNTS, so there's no chance to slack or skip something cause you'll soon discover that your grades will keep sliding. Thus, if one comes to poly, one has to be really disciplined. I admit that's a really tough thing for me personally, but i guess i can work on that and so can you!

Back to Poly

2007-10-07T15:18:00.000+08:00

What a good break it was for me. Now its time to have to wake up early to lug myself to Singapore Polytechnic everyday again! This semester's time table is kind of tiring. The thought of waking up at 6 plus for most of the days is torturous. Staying so far away from Poly school is so troublesome. Sometimes, i just wished i stayed closer to Poly school so that i don't have to wake up so early everyday. However, even thought i have to wake up so early in the morning from my "oh so lovely" sleep and to squeeze with people in the stuffy train, i still look forward to reach Poly school so as to see my friends. I just simply love to spend my day with them in Poly school. They just make my day more lively and interesting! Not forgetting also, learning together as well as having fun chit chatting over lunch and breaks. That's one of the main reasons i look forward to Poly school, cause i get to make such lovely friends! (:

Wonderful MemOriEs >.<

I had a great time at MACAU. We were as usual eating, shopping hahaha.. MACAU has a lot of casinos even in front of our home has one..the most beautiful scenario is at night, there is a fountain which is like Sentosa previous MUSICAL FOUNTAIN but here its free of charge and there is even fire seen Wahhooo..free of charge can u IMAGINE!!! The most common thing u will see in MACAU is the neon lights with various different words..most of them are in Chinese or Protuguese. Hmmm…transport fee in MACAU is damn cheap wahahahaha… 50 cents in SG anywhere u go wahooo but their directions are very difficult to read coz they use traditional Chinese…but its great that we had my cousin sis [ even my grandparents’ maid, titik ] to bring us everywhere..so big problem solve. I cant speak Cantonese well…which is the widely spoken language. The food is absolutely yummie .yummie and cheap cheap..we went almost every morning for YUM CHA and six of us costs only $70 total…and we ate so full full till our stomach feel bloated… and everyday, the restaurant is very crowded. Best food: LAU PO BING n PORTUGUESE EGG TART..Oiishi

The wonderful thing about MACAU people is that they are polite, amiable and courteous. The scenario which is uncommon in SPORE--- everyone is so eager to give up their seats to the elderly in MACAU.

The places and streets we visited were too many…hahaha..but I remembered some:

We went to the Tang Dynasty, which is really a place of rich history…and nearby there was ALLADIN sort of museum but we didn’t get in. Not far away…there is a building specially designed for helicopters to land, it goes to CHINA and HONGKONG! Wish one day, I could give it a try. My bf and I went to the MACAU’s TOWER [338 m tall]. U are allowed to either climb up all the way, take a lift or do the bungee jump..but I’m afraid of heights so we decided jus to take the lift wahaha…well, I admit I’m chicken hehehe…the view was magnificent but too bad there was no one to explain to us what are the name of the places. Hmm… MACAU has a very long bridge connecting to CHINA which is called the friendship bridge hehe..sweet name.

The spectacular building was the VENETIAN PALACE….it really marveled me and be in awe…it seemed like a magical palace…the ceiling is specially designed with clouds that makes the whole palace so grand and all the shops u can spot are branded even some I never heard of them:0 Hmm..they do special tourist attraction where u can sit on a special Italian kind of boat [gondola sampan] and the gondolier will explain to u their history and at some time they will sing their songs! Isn’t it brilliant! Its juz FANTASTIC. My first time was to gamble DA XIAO wif my grandpa hahaha…my cousin sis, cousin, me and my bf discussed and placed bets too hahahaha..at first we were winning then we lost..thanks goodness we didn’t bet too much.. The hall of casino is posh and grand..though u are allowed to smoke..it doesn’t smell that smoky. Guess wad, free drinks and snacks are provided too yea yea..but their security is stringent. They checked our passport when we went to different halls and they will apologise to u politely for the inconvenience…

I jus didn’t feel like coming back home soon hahahaha..we stayed for nine days.

Though short but full of memorable and sweet memories>.<

YOYO!! Its my favourite pastime again School Holidays yea yea check this out!

The thought of not waking up early in the morning, squeezing myself in the mrt with the crowd [ worst when those surround you are taller than u aaarghhh..] wondering wad to wear…makes me feel so relieved wahahaha…and the good news is I’M GOING TO VISIT MY GRANDPARENTS AT HONGKONG…yahoo..with my bf and cousin hohohoho….

We took BUdGet Airline [Tiger Airways]…this is my first time traveling without my parents…and the feeling is absolutely AWERSOME HAHAHAHA…not having my parents telling us what time to come back..nagging hehehe…we can go anywhere we like hohoho…Oh YA…my 1st time to board on budget so I was quite worried hehehe..well so do they:p..so time passed very quick..it was time to depart and guess wad..I was shocked to see my pimary school friend and the most astonishing was she couldn’t pass the security because she went to the wrong gate hahaha..she was not heading to MACAU! Too bad, I didn’t get to chat with her..and tell her about my Singapore Polytechnic experiences, so I just waved back to her...

The journey was quite short..took 3-4 hrs..and there was no turbulence..so a smooth one..but the most terrible thing was the a bottle of water cost $5 and it was only 350ml..oh my goodness..so we bought 1 BOTTLE which was shared among 3 of us..and so I came up with a game..we played one Chinese game..which is 10, 5, 20,0 by showing ur fingers and the winner gets to drip a sip of it hahahaha..it was really FUN FUN..coz it makes us so agitated to win n my bf kept drinking only muhahaha so I couldn’t care much and took a sip which some water drip from the cup accidentally..and my bf and cousin scream [ of coz not too long] and hit me hahaha…and the seats were really uncomfortable..we couldn’t strech our legs but I was really affected cos I’m shortest yea yea so sometimes being short is a blessing…don’t feel bad when we arrived..it was abt 8 pm at night..and the scenery was magnificent looking out of the small window..it looked as if small twinkle stars..so beautiful.

PSSS: my first time learning how to play mahjong from my grandma..she is an expert! Gosh, she can stay 3HRS non-stop playing..i tink I can hardly survive after an hour hahahaha but cant wait to play during our class chalet…gonna trash them muhahaha:P

Maybe we should have a mahjong club in Singapore Polytechnic.

Check this out..This is where we stayed:0 My grandparents’ HOME:0

-Outside my window- turn the pic hehe:P

Back in SINGAPORE!!!

2007-09-27T21:28:00.000+08:00

Back in Singapore =(Anyway, though its only 2 nights in Bangkok, my holiday has never been so fruitful. According to plan, we were supposed to go free and easy on this short trip. It is such a coincidence that on the flight to Thailand, my dad met one of his business associate (a thai) on the plane and he actually offered to bring us around. Oh My God, its such a blessing in disguise. Basically, other than the lodging, shopping and food there was really good. We tried all sorts of cuisine belonging to the Thai tradition. In particular, the Chinese community who were mainly teochews made really good banquets. Everything from road side stalls to 6 star restaurants kept my mouth watering. Well, I have enjoyed myself, its time to receive my judgment. Exams will be released tomorrow. Hmmm.. its not easy to fall asleep but I’ll try. May luck be with me.

Sebestian

Bangkok...wahoo:)

2007-09-27T21:27:00.000+08:00

As mentioned in my previous post, I am going to enjoy myself and here I am in Bangkok. Cool ain’t it. I come and go like the wind. Hahahaha. Anyway, I’m here for a really short trip. 3 days 2 nights =(Hopefully I can get get some goodies along the way. Ok, the traffic jam I getting me really pissed. I’m be back to tell you guys more about my experience.

D-R-I-VE drive...

2007-09-27T21:26:00.000+08:00

I’ve gotten my licence for 10 days already and I have driven my mum’s car for consecutive 10 days. Wonder if she would allow me to drive to Singapore Polytechnic.Well, driving is not as fun as I thought it would be. I have been chauffeuring her all around and fetching my 3 sibling to and from their school. What’s worst, I’m not paid a single cent. And the excuse given by mum for not paying is,“ it’s your best chance to practice driving”.

Oh, Crap. I shouldn’t have displayed my enthusiasm when she offered me the chance to be her chauffeur. Results will be released next week. I really wonder if my efforts would be paid off.

*Keeps fingers crossed* Anyway, I have decided that I would spend whatever time I have left enjoying myself. Just in case the outcome is not within my expectation.

Sebestian

Exams 0-V-E-R:)

2007-09-27T21:24:00.000+08:00

The exams are finally over. Hurray!! After a 2 week long struggle with the exams at Singapore Polytechnic, I finally receive my well deserved holiday. However, the worst is yet to come. I am going for my driving test tomorrow. Though the biggest rock adding pressure on me has been removed, I have another battle to fight for tomorrow. It’s my second time taking the driving test and I really hate to say I did not pass the first time round. The tester was really lenient but blame it on my complacency and carelessness that I have to go for a re-test. Anyway, wish me all the best and I am sure I will be driving around with my mum’s car tomorrow. I promised my mum I will deliver food to the old folks home on her behalf provided I can pass my test!!!

well..it's the exam period! =(

although the library at singapore polytechnic's school of business is still open for us to go over to study... i've decided to go to the libraries out of school for a breather! =) and that still doesn't mean i enjoy studying for exams... gosh...

oh well.. i was studying at the library@orchard..kinda cool cos they actually have earphones plugged in for people like us to enjoy some music without disturbing others.. =) but there was only a limited selection.. wahaha.. still...it's quite a good environment to study at(if you need a new environment to study).. =P

of cos..but the library at singapore polytechnic biz school is not too bad either.. at least when we get bored...there's plenty of computers for us to surf the net! and i mean PLENTY! hahaha.. =) maybe our singpaore polytechnic libraries(we have two in our poly) could provide music for us to listen through headphones.. but with better music selection for us teens going out of our heads from mugging!

i can't wait for the exams to end to i can have some fun during the holidays! wohoo... =) but for now... bohoo.. =(

supposedly studying

NaTioNal Day 07

2007-08-14T22:30:00.000+08:00

Okay… I managed to get 3 tickets for National Day Parade… blue sector… Yup… Reached the damn hot floating stadium. Can see that Singapore is low trust society… Everything also must check… so scared got bomb… Dotx… If I am a terrorist, I would have worked as one of the Bangala who build the dumb stadium and plant bomb there liao lo… Who would wait for the actual day??? I think only the fake MRT terrorist would do that… He a total flop… Ok finished with this crap…

First event for the event is seeing some motorcyclist do stunt… Can see Singaporean very quiet… Very little people cheer for them and of course I also din do anything as I was observing human behavior… I can see the Australian guy had a hard time commentating… hahax… Then everything gets boring… Singing song that is painful to the ears and me and my friends are yawning… But what can you expect from National Day ? Wang Lee Hong ? We only got Chen Wei Lian… hahax… The only thing that interest me is the Apache, Tank and other weaponary.. Other then that is some boring performance… After all, all Singaporean mind is on the goodie bag… And the most important thing in the is the discount voucher … Surprisly, this year have better things inside… It got a fan !!! but other thing are useless. Finally the firework displayed started and the parade end. The display was nice though but thinking of all led me to thinking of the 2% GST increase then I wasn’t very nice after all…

After the NDP, was an example of typical Singaporean… Primary teacher fall to teach us how to line up and walk orderly… Especially at the City Hall MRT… Haiz should have taken a photo of that scene but I was in a foul mood and didn’t took any photo… So after witnessing the moronic horde of people in the MRT station , I wasn’t as stupid as them. Therefore I decided to walk to lavender and took an empty bus home… Hahax…

Singapore Polytechnic had its own version of the NDP as well on the day before, with sing song sessions and even a helicopter flypass – remote control ones, of course. Other things in the programme included lion dance, wushu stunts and some drumming. We Poly students have some talent.

“Comparison is the root of all inferiority.”

2007-08-14T22:27:00.000+08:00

I heard one Singapore Polytechnic lecturer mentioned that: “Comparison is the root of all inferiority.” YES, I CERTAINLY AGREE. How can parents look into another person’s strengths and compare them to your weaknesses? Children have their own unique strengths, abilities and different personalities. I think it JUST makes things WORSE. U just feels bad, insecure and self-doubt about yourself. Young people are especially vulnerable to the game of comparison.

Sad to say this but it is true, pressure from my parents does have positive effects too. In order to live up to their expectations, it does boost my confidence and spirit and hence makes me do better academically. But this may not apply to everyone.

Being a foreign student who has left my hometown since young, it gives me the energy and determination to go the extra mile not only in my studies in Singapore Polytechnic, but also in all my everyday life. I do very clearly understand that my parents spend a lot a lot of money to bring me to Singapore to study so that I can have a good life in future with a recognised certificate. HMm..so I cant let down my parents and the only way to repay them is studying hard..

Therefore, whenever my parents nags at me, reprimands me when I start spending my time lazing around like doing nothing (my favourite pastime—SLEEP!!), watching too long hours of television not studying at all, I will not shout back at them or even argue with them but rather I will feel guilty. However, sometimes I really feel like doing nothing coz I jus feel too pressuring with the workload from school (thought that polytechnic will be more relaxing and easy, GOSh, I’m proven wrong), projects are the killer especially when u do not have cooperative members. Now, the exams are around the corner, the pressure to get good results makes me move on..but I do watch tv hehehe..i cant survive without it. My favourite Korean show “ Jia you Jin shun!!” All the BEST to everyone and good luck for exams Yea!!!

2007-08-14T22:08:00.000+08:00

it's certainly important to study and gain more knowledge.. life in singapore polytechnic is so chock.a.block with things to learn ....

but knowledge doesnt certainly always come from books.. sometimes.. it comes from personal experiences... therefore..during my last vacation..i went on a trip to taiwan with my family(my mom.cousin.aunt)! going overseas allows me to learn more about the different cultures of the country as well as the history.. and most of all... EAT! i love to try out different cuisines! =)

and so...my taiwan trip was mostly on eating! wahahaha.. it was supposed to be a shopping trip as well...but...because we booked the trip together with a tour group.. there wasnt really much time for shopping.. =( so...i decided to make myself happy by eating more! yums... =)

okies.. so...these are actually some of the food which i ate! super yummy... there's like the smelly toufu in super spicy soup(ma.la.dou.fu)..beef noodles(the noodles are hand.made!)..muachi(the.2.different.styles.but.both.with.sesame.filling)..organic food..and instant bowl noodles plus my favourite drink(my few nights of supper!)..

[smelly toufu]

[beef noodles]

[2different kinds of muachi]

[organic food: salad]

[organic food: pumpkin soup]

[organic food: chicken wrap with cheese filling]

[organic food: dessert]

[all night favourite supper!]

i really liked the smelly toufu..it's like different from the singapore ones..which is usually deep fried.. plus the fact that it's kinda hard to find smelly toufu in singapore cos many singaporeans dread the smell of it.. but why do i find it so tasty?!?! =P even my mom.aunt.cousin thinks it's smelly.. =X but yea...i loved it! hahahaha.. oh ya...and i really loved their instant bowl noodles..it's damn cool! there's like beef cubes in it..and i mean real beef! REAL TENDER SOFT BEEF(with some fats)! (just.blogging.about.it.now.makes.me.drool) forget about the fats part lars... it's super SHIOK! is what i can say.. wahaha! and the drink together with my noodles.. i cant remember what drink it is..but it's some kinda tea which has a unique flavour to it! I MISS THE FOOD IN TAIWAN!!!! is there like special delivery of food from taiwan? i feeling kinda hungry now.. =X

anyway...i guess if i ever go back to taiwan...NO MORE FOLLOWING THE TOUR GROUPS.. they just make you sit in the coach all day long and get sick of the turning rounds and rounds travelling which makes you feel like vomiting.. =( i guess if anyone ever wants to go to taiwan.. GO FREE AND EASY! just grab a few friends and head down.. it's kinda safe there..so there's no worries.. but...it's quite important to know how to speak mandarin.. other than that...i think it should be pretty alright!

it was a wonderful break from life in singapore polytechinc.. and kind of makes the heart grow fonder of what we have here.....

signing off....

JUST SIMPLY LOVE EATING!

2007-08-12T20:56:00.000+08:00

Anxious, nervous, uneasy was the feeling I had all day long! Our group was having UCCD presentation in Singapore Polytechnic and we were doing on Vietnam. Time seemed to seep through the days in just a flash. Guess wad, we even had to skip QA lecture to prepare for our presentation but only 3 of the members appeared. Hmm!sadly, we were very disorganized and did last minute work for the presentation too. I can't even believe that even on that day, we were still editing our ppt slides!OH GOSH!

Anyway, I arrived at 9am ALONE...but surprisingly I saw those who had forgotten that today we didn't had MR class muhahaha!so they accompanied me Anyway, we arrived only 2mins later than other group and goodness knows!!! They wanted to present first and obviously UCCD tutor said yes without even approving us (our whole group). Well, I was like kinda of OKIE...it doesn't matter, let them present first. WHAT MOST ASTONISHED EACH & EVERYONE OF US!they took more than 45 mins to present which is more than wad is expected!though the tutor told them that they had overshoot!Undeniably they did an excellent presentation which aroused interest from each of us..and then the question and answer from each of us took another 15 mins coz each of us had to go give a question to earn a participation mark..hmm.. I was really wondering is this the way to improve or make the lessons more interesting??? Or is she another tutor who goes by rule by rule...She will go the extra mile of calling out your names if u didn't ask a question!

After wad seemed like ages..I even made some noises to hint them ( guys, we don't have much time left aargghhh..)..Finally was our turn!guess wad, my laptop's battery was running low!sigh sigh and had to restart the whole program again which took a few minutes! To make things worse, my member pressed the restart button oh DEAR..the comp had to restart again!the teacher was absolutely furious...she just said "CALL ME WHEN U ARE READY" and just stormed out of the class. WAD is happening?? Everyone didn't even have the time to realize wad is going on..Oh No! we are in deep deep hot soup!then the previous group members and our members went to look for her.. search the ladies toilet..and my group members and I even ran to her office but to our dismay. Then we headed back to our class, a lot of commotion was going into the class. The teacher came back at 4 40 and she even demanded us to finish our presentation by 5. WAD? We barely have 20 mins to present 70 SLIDES!This is just too unfair and we even had to apologized to her. YES! I knew it was our fault, for not having a back up. I HATE TECHNOLOGY!!! But wad about THE PREVIOUS GROUP, does she shows favouritism? I think YES YES!

Now, my blood was boiling and my voice was getting louder and louder. I dislike HER! AND one of the previous members kept signaling me to hurry up! Who he think he was? I'm absolutely aware that my other members had to present too. I spoke as fast as the speed of MRT. Misfortune never comes alone. OF coz, we were boarded with questions that utterly left us DUMBFOUNDED!! This was WORST EVER PRESENTATION I HAVE DONE IN MY THREE YEARS IN SINGAPORE POLYTECHNIC, no more last min projects in future!!

Look! It 15 god damn stations and approximately 30 min train ride from home to Singapore Polytechnic! I seriously wonder why MRT is refer to Mass Rapid Transit, though I agree the Mass part, yup it definitely have a huge mass since it always crowded. But rapid?! I think I can ride my bike faster than that metallic caterpillar.

My recommendation for this long ride:
1) Equip yourself with a MP3
2) Equip yourself with a PSP (virtual tennis 3 :D)
3) Be Talented in day dreaming
4) Have a keen sight to spot for empty seat
5) Waste your time by predicting where people will drop off(E.g If he an Indian, the highest possibility is Outram as 99% he is going to Little India)
6) Have a friend to accompany you along like me :D
7) Sleep
8) Train for NAFA by doing pull up (The metal pole :D)

That all I can think of.A picture tell thousand words, therefore I have spoken 1163 words.

Where will u go after O'levels???? Hmmm......this is most probably a lot of O'levels students are worrying about. I was also in their shoes 2 years ago hehe...still young :p I'm not sure whether i should be telling this with a sigh or delight...once i was trapped in a wood where 2 roads diverged ( Polytechnic or Junior College ) and I----after much contemplation took one and that has made all the difference in my LIFE!

In my mind, I wanted to attempt something different...normally students who achieve good results will get them into junior college and the rest into polytechnics. Well, my results were not outstanding but qualified to get into a good junior college, BUT I wanted to change this phenomenon---I applied for Polytechnic instead.

Now comes the most complex problem- Which polytechnic should I enrol? What subject should I study??? These questions were making me frustrated at that time. Therefore, my friends and I almost went every polytechnic open-house! This was the most exciting and unforgettable moments-- u are treated like a "big star"! Everyone is eager to share with u about their schools, ccAs, their life in polytechnics, their wonderful lecturers...Somehow everything comes ALIVE and my doubts began piecing up one by one..something was bound to haPPen..I know!

hello everyone!you must be wondering why i choose Singapore polytechnic as one of my choices? wells, its because of the assessibility and also because of the high reputation it has for its business course. Singapore polytechnic is really very assessible because it has an mrt station linking to school! how cool is that yeas? you just cross a bridge and there you are, at school! No other polytechnics has this so we're special! don't you agree? Anyway, our school recently built a covered walkway all the way up to the business school which is actually situated up the hill. Its the only course that has the school up a hill. Even though it's really a far walk from the mrt station, you still enjoy a shaddy journey all the way up to school and that means you don't have to walk under the hot and scortching sun and get all sweaty by the time you reach school. Ok lets put the assessibility issue aside. Our business school is really reputable. You might be thinking that polytechnic's are for people who cannot get into JC. But thats not true at all! You can ask many of my fellow peers in school what their aggregate are for O levels and you'll be astonished! Many around have points that are elegable to go into a good JC yet they choose to come to poly. Surprised?

So come on and join us at SP and experience an unforgettable experience!

why DBA?

i've always been wondering what course i should take up after taking my 'o'levels.. especially during the holidays before getting my results.. however..i already knew i wanted to get into polytechnic rather than heading into jc.. i mean...i kinda feel that i'm not really the type who likes to study all the time.. oh well...i used to think poly was like the place where i can have lot's of fun and "slack" all the time... so yea..decided to come into polytechnic...

then i was thinking whether i should take up a design course or a business course.. because i was considering about my interest as well...and i'm not the science kinda person..neither am i the engineering kind.. so yups... decided to do business instead...

1st..because i wanna become a business woman.. which i feels that learning the basics of business would be of very much help.. 2nd..business administration is a course which i feel is quite broad..in the sense of...it covers quite a huge different areas.. 3rd i feel that i would struggle if i take up a design course because i have no "art" background although i have an interest for it..

and so...i decided to put DBA(diploma in business administration) as my 1st choice.. and i felt that i was kinda lucky to be posted into my 1st choice cos my results were not too good.. =X so i was like jumping for joy at that point of time after knowing where i'm posted too.. =)

ok...so for DBA.. actually... it was kinda a huge difference..wasn't really what i've expected.. like i said above..i thought poly live was like "slack slack slack" all the way...then... i found out that.. it's like er...there was like projects and test as well.. hahahaha.. but it was quite fun lars..i mean for the projects.. i prefer doing projects rather than taking test all the time.. and some of the projects are pretty interesting.. and i wasn't quite used to the system.. but luckily there were like friends to guide me along.. like...i have exactly no idea what GPA was.. it's actually the accumulated results.. so yea.. 4 is the maximum.. and i didn't know what SAS was..and didn't know how to log into the e-learning website.. so yea... i'm seriously quite dumb at it.. hahahaha.. but it's alright.. i mean.. we'll bound to move into a different environment right?.. so yea.. kinda try to adapt to the environment.. and my PTN(personal tutor) sort of like the form teacher.. he was super nice.. like super concern for his students.. i'm not trying to lie about this.. because there's no reason why.. i mean..this blog is set up for us students to blog about our personal experiences.. so yea.. i'm not making stories up.. =) so yups.. i think...with lots of friends and lecturers' concern.. it wouldn't be a problem to adapt to the environment..

okies.. and so...i'm currently in year2.. wohoo.. =) and i'm majorlising in marketing.. i felt that it's interesting.. as i was doing my projects in year1.. and er..actually...i've work before..something to do with marketing..probably will blog about it some other time.. so yea.. sort of enjoy doing marketing.. =) so here i am...doing what i feel interest me and would benefit me in the future.. =)
