I
hate sch. I realli do.
It's been quite a busy week. Lectures had been
boring, and my most dreaded tutorial (yes, it's that same one which requires us to do an oral presentation) has been, well,
dreadful. The female tutor certainly looked too serious and stern for my liking. Not to mention that she realli sounded fierce.
Oral presentation coming up on
tues. I juz can't imagine myself speaking in front of the whole claz, much less in front of that scary woman. Help.
The onli good thing that happened this week was when i actualli
won a lucky draw during a sch carnival on fri. And my prize? A
Coca-Cola cyber mini fridge! Sounds cool eh? I think i actualli won the
1st prize, coz i checked the Coca-Cola website and realised the mini fridge is usually given away as the top prize for lucky draws! Haha so lucky of me huh? And the bez thing is, there were like
thousands of entries lah coz there were so many ppl patronising that stall... I was sure lucky sia!
Second week of sch is starting. Argh. The mere thought of it makes me depressed.
I
hate sch. I realli do.

I have been suffering from pre-sch-reopening depression for the past one week. Everything seemed so bleak, and i shuddered at the thought of going back to sch as a Year 2 student.
And when i saw this, i decided that i shall neva go back to sch again.
'There will be no class in the first tutorial slot of Week 1. There will be a class in the second tutorial slot of Week 1... There is also an oral presentation to be prepared for the first tutorial of Week 2... Your talk will be videotaped, and made available for you to view and use in a first self-assessment of your skills... You will be expected to speak for about three minutes, on a business topic of your choice...'Wat the ?!%#$^! Sch hasn't even started and u r scaring me wif all this!
And that's not all.
'There is a written assignment due on Tuesday, July 26, 12 noon. Details of this assignment will be posted on Monday, July 25, 8 am... Hand it in at the NBS General Office by Tuesday 12 noon...'-_-'''
I juz finished the assignment 5 mins ago, and boy, it was realli a
tough assignment can! (Luckily i had some help... =P) And i still hafta go down to sch tmr
juz to submit that 2 pieces of paper.
I dun want to start sch. Help.

Wei Jian got into the semis! Kelly too!!!I was so nervous for Wei Jian last nite and i din dare to look at the tv screen... When the results were announced, i almost teared...
Wei Jian won the revival round!It was double happiness for me as my fav female contestant,
Kelly, got into the semis as well... Those who have heard her sing wld knoe that she's no doubt the bez singer amongst all the female contestants, but she was juz lacking in votes the other time...
So
both my favs won the revival round and got into the semis! Yay! *delirious*

Although voting is already closed, i still wanna announce here that...
Derrick Hoh Wei Jian is my SUPERSTAR!!!
Like mummy and many others, i was truly
touched by his rendition of 'Hen Xiang Ni' during the revival round tonite... The wae he sang it... So filled wif
emotion... That it realli touches ur heart as u listen to his soulful voice. I was so moved by his performance that i almost teared. Not even JJ's live rendition of 'Yi Qian Nian Yi Hou' last nite (during his concert at NP) had the power to move me to this extent...
I realli wish that Wei Jian can make it through to the semis... So that we, the audience, can continue listening to his emotive singing... It's hard to find singers who sing wif such
sincerity nowadaes...
JJ's concert last nite was
pretty good. He talked a lot about his album, the wae he composed his songs and how he incorporated his ideas into creating the whole album etc... I must sae that i'm seeing his album in a whole new different light after last nite's concert, as it comes across as a brilliantly produced concept album instead of juz an album consisting of 12 different tracks. I love the slow songs like 'Jian Jian Dan Dan', 'Sha Shi Bi Ya De Tian Fen' etc... But of coz, my fav is 'Yi Qian Nian Yi Hou', which he did a live rendition at the start of the concert. Simply
fabulous.
Those who haven't checked out JJ's album, go check it out
now!
In the meantime, let's pray that Wei Jian will
win the revival round... Results will be out tmr nite at 11.30pm! I'm feeling the jitters already...

I bet u guys have heard about the big brouhaha about the NKF and its CEO. All i wanna sae is this:
To hell wif u MONEY-SUCKER! I hope u get kicked outta NKF, and no, u may not take ur 8 cars and drivers wif u. Nope, not even the gold tap and that pricey German toilet bowl.
I can't believe all the money coughed out by the Singaporean public has gone towards his $600000 annual salary, and is oso used to pay for road tax, repairs and maintenance for his personal Mercedes. And not forgetting, we r oso contributing to the $262 million in reserves that is enuff to last for 30-40 yrs. NKF, a
not-for-profit organisation? This must be the biggest joke of the millennium.

Wanted to blog about the results of the
117th IOC session last nite, but i was too lazy... Haha.
I had spent the whole dae (starting from 1pm) following the live coverage on Channel NewsAsia, watching the presentations of some of the 5 cities (some were in the morning, so i missed them), and holding my breath as i watch Mr Jacques Rogge announce the name of the host city of the summer Olympics in 2012. I was rooting for
Paris, as i thought their bid was juz perfect... Their infrastructure, transport system, accomodation and so on were excellent, and oso not forgetting the rich culture that is unique to the French capital city. I must admit that i felt a huge pang of disappointment when the results were announced, and i was asking everyone, "
Why London? Why not Paris???"
It was later at ard 8+pm that i got to watch the full video clip shown during London's presentation, the one that centers around
children, their asprirations and their Olympic dreams... It moved me to tears, and i slowly began to understand the reason y London won. They realli focused on the aim of inspiring the youths of todae, and keep emphasizing the importance of these young ones... Let's quote
Sebastian Coe, who ended his speech and London's presentation wif this line: "On behalf of the youth of today, the athletes of tomorrow and the Olympians of the future, we humbly submit the bid of London 2012."
Brilliant.
The London team worked realli hard this time, and their never-say-die spirit paid off. Undeniably, the credit must go to the 3 ppl who made it possible: Bid Leader Sebastian Coe, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and oso the famous David Beckham. I must sae that London realli
deserve to win this time round, and i congratulate them on their win. =) As for Paris, hmmm... Paris 2016 or 2020 sounds like not bad an idea.
P.S: It's appalling to hear about the London terror bombings, and my heart goes out to the victims and their loved ones. May the city recover from the attacks soon.

There has been so much hype about this movie... And when i finally got to watch it todae (or rather yest), i found it realli amazing. And this is coming from a girl who has absolutely no interest in car racing or whatsoever. Yupz, i'm talking about the movie,
Initial D.
The racing scenes were realli
exciting and thus i had no complaints about them dominating the whole show. I was realli drawn to the whole idea of car racing and 'drifting' in a wae i've neva experienced before. Realli cool stuff. The plot was quite lacking though, and all i could remember about the movie now r the racing scenes and Jay Chou's silly smiles... Speaking about
Jay, i personally feel that he acted quite well in the movie, and he was indeed a natural. Except for the infamous crying scene that is, which sent me laughing out loud as i watched him try desperately to squeeze tears out from his eyes...
On the whole, the whole cast put on a great show, and my fav character in the show (excluding Jay) is him...
Although he din have a big role in the movie,
Shawn Yue acted veri well nonetheless, and i think he's the onli one that acted/behaved/looked like a real racer. I'll give him full marks for his zao4 xing1 esp.
Oh and not forgetting the fact that i watched the movie at
RM$6!!! Haha. Shall write more tmr... Now i shall indulge in my 'drifting mood'...
