surprisingly i'm not excited after my last paper. didn't feel the 'weightlessness' as friday. guess it didn't help when i spotted an 8 marks question solved wrongly in the last 5min, and realized i've made some careless calculation in the altered answer just 10s b4 the invigilator said pens down. after some post exam discussion, found out more careless mistakes. ... ... disappointed. not tat i duno how to do... but my mind just wasn't fresh and quick enough. did the paper lethargically. couldn't focus. sigh...
still, exam is over and i cant b bothered abt it anymore. just dun feel as good as i expected tat's all. should haf been more hyper! haha..
settled for a 10pounds lunch at the crepery~ yesyes, splurge on food.. but treat it as a celebration mah.. cant b bothered about anything now, again. heh..
supposed to b viewing a house and watch bombay dreams later. but looks like my plans are spoilt as the viewing of house is cancelled and bombay dreams dun show on monday. today is not my day ah...
******************************************************
London -> Poole -> Brownsea Island -> Poole -> Bath -> Stonehenge -> London
Was a wonderful trip~!!!!! Somehow it feels soo fun, even more fun than the italy trip? Perhaps its becos of the excitment involved in the 'travelling'.
*WiNk* =X
1. Had to be disciplined enough to block out all distractions and concentrate on my notes while on the way there. finished 1 note in 2 hours. low efficiency.
2. Took a ferry to Brownsea Island (The place where Baden Powell had his first experimental camp, i tink. i.e. 'founding ground' of scouts n brownies and guides) kena attacked by the chilly winds. would haf been wonderful if the wind is not tat cold. saw the peacock 'seeking' mate too. :P
3. Had a little encounter with the oystercatcher. Sadly unintentionally stepped on 3 hidden eggs near the beach. ='(
*gUiLty*SoB*4. Reached bath at ard 7+ (when i tot it's onli 4pm) and searched in vain for a shelter above our head tat night. onli managed to find one or two expensive rooms cos we coincidentally bumped into some music festival which started the day b4. finally found a double room in a guest house where me and jac shared. (sneaked 3 guys up later.. =P while the rest slept in the car) Not bad considering the fact tat it's clean and there's breakfast provided!! homemade continental breakfast.. yUmMy!! Police station just opposite too.. so would b safe! haha..
5. Realize the potential of amar, lu, jed, alex, jingye and lionel forming a boy band!
6. On the way to stonehenge, passed by this lovely field of yellow flowers!! took some 'homely' fotos there.. wOohOo!!
6. Stonehenge is a lovely deserted place full of tourists. The plains stretched far far away with different shades of green. Listening to the 'story telling' device, stories and myths and explanations of the stonehenge were known. mysterious and interesting. though most of the time i was blur as to wat was being told.
*pAiSeH*7. Had to end the trip with the powerful 'chakra' released by jingye in the car. dEnGz.. almost suffocated!!! haha..

YiPeeEee~!!!!!! fREeeeedOm!!!!!!!!!!! i feel so light now... yay~~ (even though there's still one more paper on monday lah... :p)
Monday-
Solid Mechanics Paper. Thank goodness it's relatively easier than past yr papers cos the format is changed. more on derivations than applications (which i totally sucked at after not attempting any of its tutorials since after my 2nd progress test) so... hopefully my derivations are correct!!! haha...
Tuesday-
Thermofluids paper. Wasn't too good. Even though i've got an ans, but when we compare with each other.. everybody's ans are different, not even one pair of similar ans. eg. answer to one question ranges from 1.8 to 17 to 69! man...
During dinner, got a 'love letter' written on a serviette, 'signed' by 'Vikas', addressed to 'Hui Noo'. how 'lovely and romantic'. Obviously a 'clever' trick played by Mr Goatee. Not as though he duno my first name.. dEngZ! Played frisbee after dinner.. then went to amar's room for tea session. woO.. the tea he mixed is good!!!!! though i cant rmb which 3 teas he used. cant rmb wat we did.. but we left his room onli at 5am? when the sun was oredi up. Saw someone studying at the upper gallery on my way back to my room. wOw.. studying at 5am?? did he study thru the night or he woke up so earli?
*respect*Wednesday-
No paper. Had 'jet lag'. tried to study but end up sleeping most of the day. woke up real blur for dinner. played frisbee (aGaiN..) till quite late. oPps.. then at 11pm+, had one of Amar's dozen of Krispy Kreme Original glazed doughnuts brought to me by Alex! aRigAto!
Thursday-
Mathematics Paper. No comments.
Forced myself to study for Friday's paper as it's a mugging paper. and i HATE memorising stuff. just cant b bothered. so.. end up dozing off again and waking up for dinner luckily and exactly on the dot.
Study till quite late and was 'distracted' by the 'four seasons' duck offered by lu. still duno if it's four seasons or chinese takeaway..? nonetheless, end up talking with alex and lu at the C-landing junction and surprisingly had some come and go 'visitors': ziming, amar, fongmay and darren. hhaha.. amar finally get to go clubbing!! had fuN?? :P
Friday-
Materials, Manufacturing and Design Paper. my most feared paper. shouldn't comment on it since i long expect myself not to do well in tis. However, had a very interesting time doing the paper, especially in the last 30mins of the paper with the fire alarm ringing in the background. There was onli 3 fire alarms tis yr in my department and the last one had to b when we are taking our exam~! haha.. Everyone panicked for a while when we heard the alarm not knowing wat to do. Luckily the invigilators are smart enough not to ask us to evacuate the room(when the fire alarm keeps saying 'Pls evacuate the building for ur safety'). Was a little disturbed by the loud ringing but continued doing the paper. Wondered if we'll get any 'compensation'. We did! 15 more mins. not as if i need tat 15 mins cos i've emptied wat i haf in my brain and i just cant tink of aniting else to replace the fabricated answers.
And now... freedom!!!!! woohoo.... feel so light.... can fly! haha... yes yes, one more paper on Monday, mechatronics. but do i give a damn for it today?? no!! today is FUN day!! leave studies to tml..... :) will b viewing a house in cromwell later and mayb haf dinner out with jed driving us!! hee.. sitting in a car in london is FUN! sigh... sadly cant join them for the Brownsea island trip tml...
right right.. tml is my most feared materials and manufacturing exam and yet i'm still up at 3am not realli able to concentrate on mugging animore.
had quite an interesting week considering the fact that tis is an exam week for me and i shud b studying hard..
will update later.. after my paper. tat is if i didn't start playing or 'clear' the shows in my laptop... seriously running out of memory. 0 GB left! tat wun do.. haha..

was lying on my bed for 10min trying to sleep.. then i realize it's getting bright. 4am and the sun is rising! wow..
decided tat i cant fall asleep so might as well do smtg.. initially intend to study some notes cos the breaking of dawn is the best quiet time to concentrate. but seems like it's still too dark to read aniting and i dowan to switch on the lights for fear of waking my roommate up. so.. watched another episode of u know wat. heh..
spring is good in a way.. not freezing animore. sun is out for longer. flowers bloom. leaves grows at an amazingly fast rate.. but, insects appear too!!!! gosh.. after so many months of insect-less, i first spotted an ant during dinner a few days back. and yesterday, another insect (i duno wat greenish tingy tat is..) was probably a little blind and flew straight into my glasses! (thank goodness i'm not wearing contacts) i tried to blow it off but it seems stuck there. so i try flicking it off.. oh-oh, i tink i broke one of its wings. =P not wanting to break the other one, i juz wiped it off. oPpS~
after dinner, went to amar's room for tok cok session. watched some trailers.. 'ladykiller' and another one with two black guys dressing up as blondes seems to suit my taste. haha.. c if i get to 'meet' them in spore. hopefully harry potter will b out soon!!!
after so many months of mail-less(yes there isn't even my bank statement or hp bill.. duno wat or where went wrong..), i've oredi given up hope on checking my pigeon hole. saw tis big white A4 size envelope in my pigeon hole in the afternoon when i leave for tutorials and cant b bothered to check if it's mine. onli till after dinner then i decide to try my luck again. yAy! tis time i've got mail! haha.. it's from some property agent lah.. a list of current lettings. but not realli useful for now.. hopefully the flat tat we will b viewing later today is suitable. hope 2 settle the housing b4 i fly back..
senior farewell party later at princes gardens. looking forward to the dance.. hee.. have been wanting to learn but jac still never teach me!! =( nvm.. will haf a good view from my window later... heh!
guess wat.. it's 4am now. aaargh.. the midnight 'foosball' session is getting longer!!
and my wisdom tooth is hurting my gum.. 'bites' the lower gum when i close my jaws.. ='(

heh... the nearer to the exam, the more relax i am. i tink i've gone insane. haha... probably bcos i've reached my 'peak' (in terms of panicking) tat's y it's dropping now... and my studying pace is proportinal to it. i guess it's bcos i've accepted the fact tat i shud resigned to fate. if i'm fated to do well, i'll predict the questions spot on. otherwise.. even if i studied, i'll still b pulled down by careless mistakes. shud adopt chihyang's attitude... relax and face the challenge without fear. (like real.. i'll panic on the day i c the questions... lol)
during our usual after-dinner conversation today, we touched on the topic of shipping tings back to spore. then eewen suddenly said tat i'll b the first to b back in spore~! heh... tat's true... i guessed tat too. whose course finished their exam as early as mine and with no project after tat?? =P who else who miss spore so much tat she'll fly back only a few days immediately after her course ends? who else but me... and only me... sigh~
well, it's not tat i dowan to stay in london for a few more days. i also like to tour ard a little b4 going back.. i also like to stay up late and 'disturb' pple and waste my life in their room... (esp after tat i've no more hall life!) i also like to loiter ard and take a look at hyde park or watever.. (although i tink spring is ending and summer is coming.. even the bluebells are not brightly coloured liao...) i hope to spend time looking for next yr's accoms too... and also slowly pack tings and decide where to store my stuff.. and especially enjoy the weather when it's not tat hot nor tat cold....
i wanted to. but i guess the pull factor is much stronger. esp after wat happened recently, it's no longer just a want but a need to go back asap. wasn't ard when he needed me most... so now muz go back and salvage the situation. haha.. muz cure my doctor-to-be... hee... =P is really looking forward to the day i step into changi airport terminal 2! still rmb the last time when i went back, the first word i heard is in hokkien!!! and i can feel the humidity and heat of the first intake of oxygen! heh.. not really looking forward to the heat leh.. aiyo~
so soon so soon.. just 3 more weeks and i'm done! nothing else matters now...
had been playing table soccer after midnight for these 2 nights.. yesterday spent 1 whole hr w/o realizing!! and surprisingly was playing quite well... haha... lucky me!! just now was still hoping for another game tonight bcos i just got an email saying tml no lecture!! but amar is sleeping soundly now with obvious dun-disturb-my-beauty-sleep signs... i guess haf to just leave it till next time~

seems like the less work i do, the less notes i study, the more relax i am. haha... wat an irony. tat's y today i'm in my cheerful mode! i realize my whole world have been revolving around the stupid exams for the past few weeks. which is why i've been blogging nothing but my stress and worries. sorry to those whom i've made worry for me. thanx for ur concerns~ appreciate it. ;) it's just tat tis is soooo different from the previous exams tat i've sat for (u know it so well isn't it) and i've no idea y i'm not of the same 'standard' as my coursemates. tat's y i'm kinda stressing myself... luckily my Modulus is pretty high... so there's no change in my height at all even after all these stresses. haha... (nvm i know it's lame... bah)
suddenly rmb a website that jac sent me ages ago -
Leader of the Free World!?. couldn't access it with netscape last time. tried visiting it using internet explorer tis time and it worked!! pretty interesting... also, a link from that site can lead u to
this page where there is many more links to other interesting sites. take a look if u r free...
received an official poll card! wow... thought i c wrongly! didn't know i haf a right to vote in a country overseas!! so excited~ who shud i vote for then?? but wait.. er.. wat am i voting for in the first place? wat election is this? who are the candidates?? hmm... y didn't they advertise a little?? lidat i wun even know who i'm voting for... hmmm...
*hEaDaChE* (as i read the details..) argh.. forget abt the headache. the polling day is on 10th june. i would be in spore by then! who cares abt voting...

finally, after 5 days of loading.. i've come to the page to blog. terrible server...
er.. er... oh well, even though i've been wanting to blog, but there's nothing much really. other than the hail a few days back. hail in may... mayb snow in june~ 六月雪。兜儿冤。sigh..
just getting more and more stressful. after one week of trying of past yr papers, i'm still stuck at similar questions. really getting worried. i need enlightenment!! but just a week left.. and i still haf 2 subjects hafen mugged. dun like wordy subjects.. i hate memorising tings. cant b bothered.. too lazy. tat's y i'm one of the few pple who got a B3 in geography. dengz..
my panic is not just a matter of whether i can attain 2nd uppers or not, it's now bcome whether i can pass or not!! was too complacent, and now the confidence is not there... panic, worried, shattered. never felt b4. damn.. and it's affecting my mood badly.. i know. :( but, no choice. i can still rmb the time b4 i fly to london, my aunt (who is my guarantor) told me, she wun haf the money to pay back PUB if i cant make it, but bobian, since my mum asked her to be the guarantor, she cant refuse. and now.. i cant fail her!! i need to buck up.. my brain need to start working!! it's lagging so much... izit bcos i've become older?? urgh.. y isit that the other sporeans can do it but i'm still stagnant??
scared. that's the word. not just worried nor panic but scared. i finally understood the times when some of my frens tell me they just couldn't cope with their studies. no matter how hard u work, u still wun get it. helpless.
is it just mech eng?? other pple from other courses doesn't seem to b having tis prob... or is it just me??
aargh...
sorry for wasting ur time reading my venting of my frustration and nonsense. tis seems to b my only way of letting it out...
..What about me..
