Not My Kind of DNA

Arh! I'm late for school yesterday and the credit would go to the shutter service provided by my school. We were not informed that there's no more bus left and we waited that for almost 15 minutes. In the end, we took the train. We're practically rushing even though we knew that we would be late eventually. But thank goodness my teacher didn't mark me absent, I really need the attendance marks. Hope that such thing wouldn't happen again the next time.

Programming: Might be my cup of tea

I always had the impression that programming is something that would give me terrible headaches. To me programming is like huge chunk of text and looking at it would only provide high level of strain to my eyes. Guess that after my 3 years in my poly life, I would be wearing thicker glasses.

Today lesson somehow make me look at programming at a different aspect. Perhaps the current things taught are easier (as this is the first lesson). Really hope to cope with things that the Poly would "supply". Until then, I would look at it with great optimist.

Things in NP always happen after the DOT

Today was supposed to be the least amount of hours for schooling. Unfortunately, due to certain events, I only left school at 2.30pm instead of 11am. School started off with Portfolio Project as our mentor (Ms Ryanto Anita) showed us examples of how we could do a biography. Not really inspired by the examples, but I still can extract a little ideas from all the examples and consolidate them (with the fusion of my own creativity). Anyway, I found out that I would need to have a digital camera or I would be seriously in a disadvantage.

Lesson ended at 11am and we had to attend some stupid Photoshop workshop. We reached the venue but couldn't find anyone there. We waited and waited but no one turned up. Therefore, we decided to go. We still couldn't get back yet as we were told that we need to get the Adobe software. Guess what, after walking a long distance to the IT HelpDesk (A place where they do stuff that's related to computer/laptop/etc.) they told us that the software have yet to arrive. Our class was damn pissed off (girls complaining and boys cursing). Still not able to go back yet as we need to rehearse for the coming "Variety Show" (Performances from all the class in ICT).

At least the rehearse turned out fine. I left the rehearse venue a little earlier as I need to rush home to give my tuition.

Today is IS Day

I'm really not looking forward IS Day from today onwards. It's completely boring and I can practically sleep through. But NO, I'm not doing so cause I'm a good boy. :P

Currently, my lecturer is blabbering and I'm doing blogging. I really can't stand the way she talk.

Another thing is that I'm specially tiring today, I nearly missed my station and everything really pass so slow. Hope for better things to happen.

PS: She now criticizing on our theme. Damn her!!!

Playing on ground

Somehow, I have gotten quite bored of my blog name and therefore, decided to do some changes to it. Although changing the blog title would be very easy (in a few clicks away), I would want to bring in more things. Therefore, (during my leisure time) I created two images.

Do give your comments on them.

The above images belong to the owner of this blog (Samuel Lim Yi Jie).

Starting @ Last

Today is Saturday (alright, who doesn't know that today is Saturday) and I'm so occupied? at home. I started the day with series of stomachache (I actually woken up by it) and kept running from my bedroom to the kitchen toilet and back to my room for 2 to 3 times. "That's a terrible start of today" was the major thoughts that I had then.

Went back to sleep and to be awaken by my alarm that reminds me that I had to prepare for work. Somehow, I felt kinda lack of energy (most likely I would be blaming the series of stomachache I had in the morning). I practically dragged myself around the house before bathing.

Accompanied by my father, we went to the nearby hawker center to have our breakfast (a quick on though) and I'm off to work. If you have been following my post for the past few months, you would know that I teach tuition to earn some pocket money. Lesson started and I also began to nag (I guess that being teacher means you need to nag...) and started talking like a teacher.

In the afternoon (after work already), I settled myself in front of my MacBook and started typing sentences after sentences. What I'm doing? I'm trying to complete as much homework as I can (COMT1 homework).

Now... Erm, I currently doing something that I seldom do. Don't start to think dirty (that's just a gentle reminder). I'm waiting patiently? for my movie to complete loading (I hate multiple stops in a movie!!!).

MP embarrass

Incase you don't understand what MPP means; it basically means "Mini Project". We had our mini project (part 2) done and the result was kinda embarrassing but I love the process of filming the video.

The content was lame and therefore, I wouldn't want to talk about it. We were released off earlier than the planned release time. BTW, we had all predicted that it would end like this (as in the earlier in the release).

Taken the long and boring journey home again. This time, I met Zac and we decided that we wouldn't want to go home that early. Accompanied him to our previous secondary school to collect his O-Level certificate. The school is so damn slow as I asked them about my testimonial and guess what they say? "Sorry, we had yet to receive it from MOE...” Then I asked her how we know when to collect and she told me to try my luck next time. Fuck them la!

After that, we walked to CWP (Causeway Point) and do some window-shopping and soon I'm at home typing this post.

Time passes by at different speed during different situations.

Fun? Day

As mentioned in the previous post, today is NP's Fun Day. Basically what we do on such (unfortunate) event is to either participate in the game or sitting in the crowd. Sitting in the crowd could mean 2 things too; one is to sit there and cheer (or jeer) or sitting there and rot. I belonged to the last group that I had mentioned. Basically, I don't see the need for staying back and watch such events. It's not something that I can relate myself to or I could be entertained. Therefore, staying a second long would mean that I'm wasting another second of my life. During the meet of the game, I (with most of my classmate) came out of the stadium. It's pointless for us to continue our stay there. I was the one who checked out the escape route (that Wen Hau told us) and informed the rest.

Because of that, Fun Day had become an exciting day to me as I seldom do such act. I collected my skin (laptop skin that I purchased for $16) and went straight home. Basically, that's how my day was. Looking forward to tomorrow as I believe it would be an interesting day.

Fun Day is fun, I beg to differ.

Adding on to my map

Yesterday was the official day for school to be open and that would mark the end of my 5 months holiday. I was rather reluctant to go for school, as I would need to wake up early again. As I stay at Woodlands, I would need to get up as early as 6.30am and starts to prepare everything. After all the preparations, I would need to be trapped in my transport for another hour. Making things worse is that the trains or buses during the peak hour would be fully packed with people.

Guess I would get use to it soon, but not too soon. I give up; I don't know what I'm thinking about.

BTW, the activities I had in this two day (today and yesterday) were kinda interesting.

Basically, I did a 10-frame storyboard with my group and I did the presentation with a Year 2 students. Although I didn't do any presentation for more than half a month, I don't seem to be nervous. Maybe that is a skill, and therefore, it's harder to lose it.

How about today? Today would be the only day in this week when we get to follow the original school timetable and I sorta interested with everything they're teaching.

Tomorrow would be terrible day (at least that's what I think now) as it's NP's Fun Day. To me, it's not fun at all... Lets see how it goes...

Making it tidy

Didn't really noticed that my room was in a total mess, I didn't really bother about it previously as I was occupied with things. There's too many things revolving around brain that required immediate attention, that's what I call "attention-seeking". :D

Of course, I told myself to tidy my room before school start since morning and only started doing so at 8pm. That's how capable I'm in delaying things. :P

I realized that the main reason why my room became so messy in a week was because of the increased of things my room would have to contain. Firstly, my students examinations are coming and I had printed for them past years paper, adding on to that would be all the letters that NP gave me. Within such a little time, only the more important things can be entertained. :(

Bleeding Love

Artist: Leona Lewis
Album: Spirit

Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you're frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone's looking round
Thinking I'm going crazy

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing's greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it's draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I(hold note)

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love

The Human Mind

Today orientation was kinda different from what I had imagined. Although I got a little discomfort at the start, everything seem to fall and fit in. Now that I had seen my new classmate and facilities that I would be using, I'm much clearer of many things. Managed to get along with a few of my classmate. Surprisingly, they are kinda different from me. One is a fan of soccer and one is older than me.

I allowed myself to go a little higher (in terms of thespirit) and that's when I started shouting cheers. Somehow I felt that life could be more interesting. But such spirit would be hard to maintain once all the bonding exercises stops. Now, I shouldn't look too far. Solving things a step by step.

Another thing was that I usually don't show much objection in a relationship, whether it's friendship or love. That's the reason why my friends don't usually hear my negative opinion on them. That's because I wouldn't want to hurt the relationship. Is like somehow friends could be rather insensitive and started bringing things (that I wouldn't want to think of). Perhaps the brain itself is something complicated. I really had nothing to say and just hope that things would just pass.

Being Nervous

Tomorrow would be my one-day orientation camp and I'm getting quite nervous about it. Tomorrow, I would e facing a totally new environment with totally new people and I'm not confident that I might do well. Maybe there's too many uncertainty, is just like walking on a street that is covered with layers and layers of mist, each step forward might be so difficult as uncertainty lies ahead.

Alright, felt better after typing them out.

Another thing is that my ability to concentrate is very short, it takes me around 3 hours or so and I would be feeling so irritated and powerless. I guessed the main reason for this is because of the natural of my skin. My skin (especially my face) gets oily easily and when that happens, my spectacles would start sliding down my nose. The process of pushing up my spectacles become more frequent as time goes by, it's then I would be in a lower spirit. If only I could solve the problem of my oily face.

Tomorrow orientation camp would be the first time I would be meeting new people from my course. Therefore, things that I wear mustn't give a poor impression. But that's the part to get headache about. Even though I have many choices of clothes, I still couldn't make up my mind what to wear.

Perhaps I'm a little vain and spoiled for choices.
Anyway, no one in the world knows what would happen tomorrow.
I must hypnotize to look ahead with greater confident! Just like myself in the past.

Drafting Blogger

To those whom are daring enough, you may try logging in to your account through draft.blogger.com. Basically, that site is created for daring people (more like test rat) to explore and feedback on the problems that had encountered.

Looking at the draft, the only thing I can say is that I'm very disapppointed the only visible change is to place Google Gadget in blogger. That improved on the "convenient".

Hopefully Google could come up with something to surprise its user. Until that day come, I can only hope.

For Some Time

Things and things had happened and those that experienced them would tend to grow and remembering the past as an experience.

Went to Bugis Village again (this time with Zac only) to hunt for things to wear. For me, I believe that I had bought enough of them. But sometime, there's some urge withing me that would be taking over. In a blink of the eyes, I would have made my purchase.

Looks like whatever needed to be ended has ended and I also show no intentions to stop the ending. Anyway, an ending means that something else would start real soon. Therefore, I would be keeping my morale up and not be discouraged by any failures or regrets I had in the past.

That's my new addition to my closet!
The first yellow shirt I got ever since "independent".

I'm @ Mac Training

Currently in NP convection center listening to the presenter talking and talking non-stop... He's going through some stories that doesn't consent me...

This would go on for another 3 to 4 hours... That would mean years... Ah!

Unexpected Partner

I never thought that I would be going shopping with Shawn as we were not really close in the past. Glad to meet up with a ex-classmate and being able to catch up with each other life.

Shawn wanted a little makeover and I suggested that I accompany him as two pairs of eyes is better than one. We started off at the hair salon, in the end, I was the only one doing the hair cut. After that, we walked around Woodlands Center to look for some clothes and after much thinking, Shawn got a collar-shirt, belt and a vest (both black) and I got myself a black short (a special design that looks like I'm showing half of my boxer).

The only thing that he didn't manage to get was a bag...

PhotoBoothing Again

Yup that's my expression every morning... the sian diao face.
Anyway the this photo is made possible with PhotoBooth.
LOL

5th April

School would be starting in almost a week time. Would I get use to the new life and environment. When I first entered my secondary school, I didn't think of things such as "would I be able to meet for friends", "would I be able to get use to the environment" and etc. Perhaps, the things that I want now are different.

The approaching week would be a busy one as I would need to attend workshop and camp that are supposed to help you pass the 3 year with lesser difficulties.

BTW, I had received my timetable and I'm rather happy with it.

The timetable is on the previous post.

My New Timetable

I will hate Monday from now...

More to be done

Like most adolescent, I'm extremely curious to things and there would be a never-ending list of things that I would like to do. Some of them are a little impossible and some of them are reachable. People say that when a person had grown up, they would have lesser dreams and they would want to do lesser things. Somehow, the list of things that I wanna do have expanded. Does that means I'm doing the opposite of growing.

Went out to get some nice and cheap t-shirts to wear for Polytechnic yesterday. Bought 2 from I.P. Zone and they looked quite nice. At least I personally think so. Accompanying me was Andy.

Things sure happen too fast, I guess that I would need to do a review of myself on all my mistakes that I had done over this period of time. And I really hope that people would forgive me for all the mistakes that I had done in the past. To think of it, they were silly mistakes.

What I must do now is to grow up. Comparing to most of my same age, I'm actually a little childish. Some people say that I looked mature on the outside and childish inside. And yup, I agree. Therefore, changes had to be made before the fall of any crisis again.

I am Sudoku

You are simple, modern and elegant.

You're not that difficult to figure out,
but very few people truly get you.

You approach the world with a pure logic
that most people will never grasp.

What puzzle are you?

What had I done...

Seem like things are going out of hand and I guess it would need maximum clarification. Wonder how things would work out, maybe to become better or to become worse.

Seem like I have become a villain.

Keeping Cool

Image from WikipediaJust came back from the cemetery with my grandparents and mother as we went there to do some praying as a show of respects to our ancestors. Like every year, I would always tried to escape from such terror but always failed miserably. The reason I need to be there was because only the descendants or siblings could offer the incense stick. No price for guessing, I HAD a brother and sister. I mentioned had because they weren't in this world anymore and since, they didn't have any descendant, only I can do the offering of incense stick.

This time, we went to the cemetery during the weekday was because that the cemetery is filled with people during the weekends. Who in the world with a right mind would want to squeeze in a small and stuffy place? Definitely not me.

What I did there was helping out to carry things and food. You didn't see it wrong nor I had typed wrongly. For Buddhism, they would offer real food to the dead. Another thing I had to do was to burn the incense papers and paper clothes. The part I hate was when the smoke produced by the burning started affecting me.

This is something that I'm considering. I'm not devoted to any religion yet, perhaps when the time come... Being a Buddhism might be a big question mark.

Hello everyone! I'm back from Genting, anyone misses me?

Firstly, I wanna wish everyone a happy April Fool Day. And do watch out your back too. "Ah! A spider on your keyboard!", April Fool... LOL

This trip to Genting was kinda fun and less boring when compared to the previous trip there. I played most trip in their outdoor theme park. Hm, the ride that I enjoyed most is the "Cockscrew" (a roller coaster ride with an occasion loop that would turn you 360 degrees). I even had a chance to feel how committing suicide is. Ops, don't get it wrong, I simply took the "Space Shot" (a ride that send you up to the cloud and then, send you dropping down).

Somehow, I felt that I have become more daring as compared to my past.

Did little shopping this time as there were better activities to take care of. Such activities were bowling, eating and playing at the outdoor theme park. Speaking of bowling, I managed to get 99. That's a great improvement compared to last time!

Simply, that's the highlight for the Genting trip. Oh ya, there's a vampire behind you.

April Fool!

*I'm so lame...*

Here's some shots I took there.
