The desire to excel. The passion to dedicate. The determination to see it through.

Shoes-of-the-Day

In between lab today, Chewy and I headed to a few places! We had lunch at Bukit Batok (nice Hokkien mee) and headed to book the venue for our Graduation Dinner. After that, we went to Queensway! Did some engraving and checked out door gifts! I decided to get me a pair of Asics to motivate me to run! My old Asics from the JC days have flat soles anyway! My first pair of red and white shoes.. Specially for National Day Parade next year!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Training-of-the-Day

Ended school at around 1215pm today (AMAZING)! Spent some time slacking and discussing stuff for our Graduation dinner followed by sensory evaluation. Was waiting for time to pass since the shooting range only opens at 2pm!

Had a long training session today. Kinda eeky groupings these days. Changed some stuff. Oh well.. After that I went to play rifle. Model 601 feels super heavy!

After training, went down to check out a potential Graduation Dinner venue. Cool place. I feel like throwing party there too.. but no occasion. Haha. After that, Jimmy and I headed to Jln Kayu for dinner!

Subject-of-the-Day

Gosh. I think I need to study some Physics. I didn't even study high school Physics. I had a run-in with the subject during FST3101 (some enzyme module) as well as FST3103 (Food Engineering - mass transfer) today.

I didn't even know what "terminal velocity" was. Thanks to Wikipedia and some other websites, I'm a teeny wee bit smarter. Gotta head to the library to learn Physics (again). This shall be my 3rd attempt? Oh well, never too late to learn!

Nostalgia-of-the-Day

Was just thinking of Kermit the Frog (I don't know why.. random)! Kermit is a left hander! Check him out as he strums his guitar! SO CUTE!!!! Can't stand it!!! CAN DIE!!!! =P


The Rainbow Connection by Kermit the Frog, of The Muppets

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that
and someone believed it,
and look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell,
we know that it's probably magic....

Have you been half asleep
and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
La, la la, La, la la la, La Laa, la la, La, La la laaaaaaa

Song-of-the-Day

My Love Will Get You Home by Christine Glass
If you wander off too far, my love will get you home.
If you follow the wrong star, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If the bright lights blinds your eyes, my love will get you home.
If your troubles break your stride, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If you ever feel ashamed, my love will get you home.
When there's only you to blame, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home,
Boy, my love will get you home.

Lab-of-the-Day

For lab today, we went to Cold Storage at Centrepoint to learn about pest management! Interesting.


Watched a DVD yesterday.. It was about a guy who could see into the future and alter the future. Broken dreams can be mended and can fly.

Extremes.. that's what it used to be.. Work hard.. Play harder... If that's the ideal, then I've deviated. Strive harder. Higher, better, faster, STRONGER. Some things ought to be left behind.. And some traits should be kept for a lifetime. This is me, and the time is now.

The kid who is obsessed with drawing the perfect circle.......

Report-of-the-Day

I spent a total of 8 hours compiling the New Product Development since yesterday! I just finished! There's a grand total of 45 pages (exactly 5mm thick). One month's worth of work!!! DAMN THICK. Graphs, figures, tables, photos, references........ I almost gave up. The process flow chart was a headache. Had to draw diagram, group and ungroup, send to back, bring forward, etc... I don't think I've ever spent so much time compiling a report before. WAH... Niiice.

pQ's sleeping at my house now.. Don't know where Ling Ling went! Me go find them!

Song-of-the-Day

Someone Said Goodbye by Enya

Summer. When the day is over
There's a heart a little colder;
Someone said goodbye,
But you don't know why.
Somewhere there is someone keeping
All the tears they have been weeping,
Someone said goodbye,
But you don't know why.

Is there a reason
Why a broken heart begins to cry?
Is there a reason
You were lost although you don't know why?
Give me a reason
Why you never want to say goodbye.
If there's a reason,
I don't know why.

Always looking for a meaning,
All the time you keep believing,
But I don't know why
You won't say goodbye.
Even when the sun is shining
You don't see the silver lining,
But I don't know why
You won't say goodbye.

Is there a reason
Why a broken dream can never fly?
Is there a reason
You believe and then you close your eyes?
Give me a reason
Why you hide away so much inside.
If there's a reason,
I don't know why.

Is there a reason
Why a broken heart begins to cry?
Is there a reason
You were lost although you don't know why?
Give me a reason
Why you never want to say goodbye.
If there's a reason
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.

Broke into a run in the heavy rain. The feeling was good. Miss running in the rain. Easy. Effortless.

Surreal.

Excursion-of-the-Day

WOW, my notes had CHINESE characters. I haven't seen them in my academic material for a very long time!!!

For lab, we headed to the SATS Inflight Catering Centre! The food looks yummylicious! I wanna take Singapore Airlines!!! They cater mainly to SIA but service other airlines like British Airways as well. The business class section had smoked salmon!!! Their food is like damn well represented! Anyway, they gave us some food at the end of our visit! NICE! Their wasabi looks quite different though.

Due to the high security (we had to go through metal detectors and our bags were x-rayed as if we were embarking on an outbound flight), I couldn't bring Valen along. My father dropped me off in school this morning and I took public transport home! I haven't taken a public bus for a very long time. I had to dig out my EZ-link card before this (I don't keep it in my wallet).



Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Competition-of-the-Day

Took part in the HomeTeamNS Biathlon Shoot (200-shots pistol and 200-shots rifle in 5 hours). It was quite fun. It's the first time I see people looking around while they shoot and smiling. Haha. Nice atmosphere. Got 1719/2000 for rifle (8.595 average, 343.8/400) and 1783/2000 for pistol (8.915 average, 356.6/400). Anyway, I managed to shoot a 97 series for rifle! AMAZED!

Today, Valen was scratched. Hit and run style...

Need I say more???

???-of-the-Day

Well, how do I describe today? It's an ordinary day? Well, not exactly. When I was in class, I realized most of us were drained and not rejuvenated after the term break. I was slightly surprised. I was rather zombie-ish this morning.

Part 1: Arising from Zombie-ness:
After school, Pearly called me over and she gave me bubble gum!!! She remembered that I liked bubble gum and bought some for me while she was back in Malaysia! So happy you know?

Part 2: Stepping into bounciness:
While queuing up for the toilet, YX tapped me on my head from the back! Haha. She was kind of in a cheerful mood. Infectious cheerful mood. That 3 minute trip to the toilet made me bounce on the way to meet Valen.

Small actions, big impact. (",)

Two incidences that made me feel like a kid again (not that that's rare, but it's different this time). The simple happiness of a kid. How apt for Children's Day.

Happy Children's Day!!!
