Ngee Ann graduation

I felt the need to close this chapter of my life. I had officially graduated with a Civil and Environmental Engineering Diploma, for friends who still have no idea what I had been up to this 3 years.

Although I didn't achieve my target as a gold/silver medalist, I managed to get a Cert. of Merit plus a structural awards. Considering that I study hard and play hard at the same time, I think I did okie.

Oh ya, I was caught littering cigg butt on the graduation day. And yes for the 2nd time. FUCK

I never pay attention to opening speech ever in my life, except for this speech that were told by my BE director.

"Leave this school, bearing HIP in mind

H for humble

I for integrity &

P for passion

And remember never compromise success with your integrity, otherwise its not a true success"

I never thought that I actually benefited from this quote. My boss really praise me on my integrity, humbleness and my commitment. I really give credit to Ngee Ann. 3 years ago and 3 years after, I had grown up. Mentally. More responsible and passionate to my responsibility.

Graduation Dinner 2010

Oh thanks Mr Teo for convicting me into this course.

And updating on my next step, I had been requested to serve my 2 years bond with Sembcorp first before they reconsider if they want to sponsor me for my degree. Well, even if they want, I also don't know if I myself want or not. Study or Chiong into business?

Nevertheless, I will be going to Sembcorp first. The boat will come straight at the harbor. Don't worry.

An invitation from NUS 2010

Its all a long waited acknowledgement from the local most outstanding and prestige University which stands to the test of time. National University of Singapore had sent me a surprise parcel that comes in a brown papered envelop, thick enough to hide a double cheese burger. Exaggerating of course.

Even before I attempts to open it up, I expected it to be an acceptance letters. Not being complacent here but more or less I reckon that they wouldn't be bother to send out a thick parcel just to inform you that you had been rejected, along with some freebies or coupons to lighten up your spirit. That will be stupid and not their style. A oldest school in Singapore are of attitude. Never hear them say YES, you have to take its as a NO.

Happily opens the package.

WHAT!!!! I had been offered into Environmental Engineering. That's was a shock for me. I never see that coming. A course that contain 90% AAA/A or GPA 3.9 equivalent had wanted me in their course. Its a double edged sword. I couldn't decide.

Why Environment Eng?

Civil is dry and energy draining. All boy course. Furthermore it also helps me in my future bond with Sembcorp Utilities (Water/Energy recycling) related. My favorite part is the opportunity to speak more English. Or force to speak more. Most importantly, my Nemesis wouldn't choose this course which is a intellectual challenging choice. Oh, yes. This is an insulting statement. Facesmack.

Why not Environment Eng?

Being at the 10 percentile group. One can't help but to feel the pressure. Lots of catching up to do plus my bad experience with geek that had no life, always indulge themselves 24/7 to projects. Mundane lifestyle all over again.

Career prospect for Env. Eng. Rock bottom! I can't believe the result for employment rate, bottom of the list with a huge gap. EWT student be wary. Not only the market appeal is small, they pay slavery. They studied their shit off the course, constantly under pressure and competition. Earning them in a position to earn the least among all engineering peers. A daily wanking dude from civil course earns much much more. It amuses me. LOL

NUS: Employment Rate1 and Gross Monthly Salary of Graduates By Bachelors Degree, 2009

Should I accept the offer to (Bachelor of Engineering) Environmental Engineering?

So right now, probably I will wait till NTU's reply. I also put Env. Eng prior to Civil for my choice of course. Bad move.

Updated

NTU did send me an offer on 15/04. Admission to Environmental Engineering 2nd year.
Now the problems come. I want to APPEAL!!!

Today RCD was difficult. I managed to finish 20mins earlier, and I didn't bother to check the paper. I used to sit through the very last minute during exam as I want to make sure I could score the highest possible. Check for mistake here and there very spider lidat. But today I just gave up, I submitted early and walk out, I see no point sitting there cause I know I can't do any better already. I came in only 80% prepare. I had to pin point question to study because I don't have much time for revision. I stayed till 4am last night to chiong, really tired.

While walking out, I saw Weiheng drew the detailing for column design and I say "fuck", I forget to do. 8 marks question, I only solved for soil pressure. Really chee bye. I blame my lack of sleep for this stupid mistake. Overall, manageable but can't really score flying color plus project didn't complete.

Now I am burning midnight oil again for WRT. One night for the whole book revision, and fuck I don't even know how to start. The WHOLE BOOK LEH!!! So many tutorial and sample question and I can even have the time to complete the whole esp of S-Factor.

WSH2. Whole book again. And I have less than 6 hours to revision only. Can I really stay focus for these last 6 hours? Do and Die make your choice.

SD presentation

Today SD presentation is a full dress. IE I had to fix myself into the horrendous formal wear. Hot and tight like hell. Overall, the other 2 groups had an out standing presentation. Specially, I like the way Daniel carried himself while presenting. Thumps up.

Yesterday, I spent the whole day rendering my 1 minute video walk-through from Rivit 9. Not spendid but I thought it was well done at least. It was a crucifying process. To my horror, Sim 3 game on PC can do better. Somemore excluding the time for rendering. Sadded.

Now most of the project are due. I felt very much relieved. At least the examination will be leaving solely to myself. Not being reliance to other is good. I had a whole one week for study break. I should not give myself excuses that I do not have the time to study.

Task this weekend..

• RCD project
• APMC lab report
• Enrollment to University

So talking about uni. I had initially chose NTU as I wanted to specialize more on technical and hands on aspect. They were ranged first class in technology fields. However, the location was too far and getting to Ngee Ann was already a torture, so let along to NTU. Moreover, there are a lot of "Ah Tiong" and I had already tiong enough. I want to jiat gan dan already. I hope all my friend speak English. Is it so difficult?

NUS will be closer to my house, although Semb wanted to sponsor lodging, I still want to be able to go home as and when I want. I had the impulse to get into Environmental Engineer cause I thought more of them speak English than Chinese. Yeah I know, 90 percentile is 3.96. It's hard to get in, but I will try. If I tio Enviroment I still can appeal for Civil.

I don't mind starting to work now, but I know end of the day, I will still need to get a degree. It only sooner or later. All my friends are getting cars and house. So envy them.

Night cyling and CLP bday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!!!



Been waiting for so long, you are finally 18. Well you are legal already.... to do a lot of things :) Like drinking, clubbing and of course taking your class 2b license. Woke up late today due to extreme wear and tear from night cycling. I never have been so mental drained. Went out at night to west mall to eat Thai Bali. Sucks, not nice one. Dinner was paid by CLP $60 plus!!

After dinner, I super full and bloated, wonder around west mall and saw a big big open space theater. Like Ge Tai like that but playing movie instead. So we decided to join the hundreds of uncle and auntie sit down there watch free "IP Man". Very unique experience and so sweet sitting beside your darling. Wahaha. TMR still got startek, will go and watch if I still got the strength after IPPT test.

Okie, let's talk about Night Cycling 2009

Image taken and uploaded by Ethan, our friendly photographer cum driver cum first aider cum MaMa Tiam uncle. Many thanks..

Me and Yong Sheng go help out BE do lorry driver. We like driving the whole day from 2pm to the next day 8am. Super tired.

CLP was my V-comm for the night, duty is to keep me accompany and not die of boredom. We just talk cock and play with N82, ipod all the way.


Yong Sheng took the above picture with his 2.0mp camera on his Iphone. Edited with in build application (photoshop) and end product was impressive.

While we sit around killing time, took some more pictures.

Book Prize 2009

Something worth celebrating for this week. Attended book prize award for 2nd semester today. However, that will be the last time we receive prize in this kind of setting. The next award should be in graduation ceremony. They will be offering gold medalist and silver medalist to first 2 most outstanding performance of our level. Yes our level. Mean the next path of CEE kick in for the competition. Its hard to score first in class man, a lot of very 'zai' student in my class. Nevertheless, silver medalist is what I am aiming for. It within my reach provided I really had to maintain the grade this year.

First time taking picture casually with our BE director. Stop staring at her hair already. She seem very warm and nice to me.

Some of my friend turned up also, some pictures

Me, Den and Jia Qi

Me, Rachel, Jun Xian and Eileen (I nicknamed her cute cute)

First picture with Geena, one of my favorite student in EWT. I hate EWT!!

Realize that I changed my pose to folding my arms in all picture. I don't want to act cute anymore. It doing me more damage than good. I hated when people accusing me for acting cute, though my cutiness was radiating from within. Whilst folding of arm symbolize authority, like Stamford Raffle. See now I looked more mature and got more 'nan ren wei'.

Hao la hao la, last one act cute a bit.....

Sentosa Trip

I was rather pissed about some blog mocking us about our club's efficient. Okie. I give you benefit of doubt. Before I got any solid evidence, I going to spare them my vulgarity. Nevertheless, I already start hating them. I will by all mean bitch and bad mouth about this fucking club that mocked us. Since you all had started the fire.

Don't be complacent about your current position. You think you had done so well yourself that you can start commenting about other ppl. You don't know the situation so please don't act like a smart ass and start saying things that will mislead ppl of our image.

I will not go on more about this until I know the whole picture of the story.
I shall post some of the happening during my 2 week break.
I very appreciate Simon for his 'efficient' in sending me this picture. I expected that he will send it to me on a later date :p


Okie.. K boxed with the 'sister' 2 day back and enjoyed ourself till very later lah.I had my K lunch.

Followed by arcade and beer session at a coffee shop.

Today

Went to Sentosa for our bonding and pre pre pre recce. Believe it or not, this is actually the 2nd time I went to Sentosa.

Benson aka Bakali showing off his well built chest.

I like this picture the most.

Well, I don't really feel like writing anymore. I got an I and E event tmr and I am super tired now. I gonna stop here.

mix and splash com meeting

First day of holiday I thought I could concentrate on my Cabal. Turn out to have a so called "urgent" meeting. Basically telling me that M&S camp is going to postphone. And the rest of the time all of us just chatting away ghost story and 'tele-tuby'.

Felicia laughed away when I mis-pronoun a word. I was trying to say "I tried my best to..." but in the end I say "I tried my breast to..." okie lah. blame myself for not having enough practice speaking English. So paiseh..

I took a picture outside society club house. Nice ~

After meeting, some of us went to Botak Jones to eat supper. I ordered lame chop. Ya, cost a bomb man. $12.50 for the tiny winy lamb with excess fries. I want to eat bigger portion of lamb instead of fries lah. And almost 40% of the lamb is fatty meat. Threw them away. Wasted.

We da bao and eat under the void deck. Sibei casual loh. But interesting lah.

Later we ordered some beer. Simon is training to pour the beer without the foam. He took like forever to pour it to half way mark. Haha

Heineken. My favorite.

Mini Pub

Went chill out with classmate.. Nothing worth mentioning.

Ytd went out with Shihao and Jaiwen.. One funny thought. I really don't feel like poly student at all. Class not bonded.. No outing and stuff.. Till year 2. Recently now then I realize that I feel like a poly student. I looking forward for weekend outing. I felt a huge stone lift off my chest. I felt free. Hope this can last as long as possible.. :) I felt happy at this moment..

GV meeting

Today went to GV meeting and they are surprise to see me there.
They are having quite a few event for this year, and I felt that this time round we might get inside info to go for all outing before other ppl. And I was surprise to see that there are only total of 6 new freshies joining us.

After meeting when to BT food center with Shi Hao and Li Ping to have our dinner. And there is this auntie complaining our we sitting at the smoking table but none of us is smoking. So I proudly presented my cigg and smoke in front of her. CB you know.. This kinda ppl, on one occasion my mum was kana scolded because of the same incident. My mum is like super duper dulan loh. So she say "I got smoke one lah, but haven finish eating how to smoke".

Fuck the government for banning smoking at so many place lah. Pub and Club cannot smoke and next year they going to ban a lot more places _l_ CB~

And I will be super busy for year 2 lah. Lot of meeting and event management.. Mix and Splash coming up, headache...
