Went to RELC Building and wanted to book my SAT I Test. Note, I used the term “wanted” because I did not book from there. My first impression of the building that is is like a hotel and true enough, there is also a RELC Hotel. The examinations bureau is at 3rd level.
Fill up 4 pages of form and find I find it very troublesome. The form is not even meant to be use for Singapore. There is not enough space to fill in my full name and address. For our IC number, we need to put 00 followed by your IC number without the last alphabet. There are 2 test date. One is on 8th May 2004 and 6th June 2003.
Went back to school yesterday for some World Skill Competition workshop. It is kinda lame and I know if it is going to be that lame, I rather stay at home and sleep. The whole workshop thing is about stress management, but I got no stress. As what William Hung had said, just give it your best and you will not have any regrets. For my trade there is 46 contestants, you can view it all here, my name is at the 2nd slot. If can get rid of 43 contestants, I will be the top 3 =p.
Went with Serene, Karen, Christopher, Laily and LiXiang to meet Jacky at Plaza Singapura for a movie. We caught Cold Mountain. The whole show last 2 hours and 45 minutes. Didn’t expect it to be that long. But overall the show is not bad. It is NC16 because of one lame RA scene if I am not wrong.
Woke up at 7.30am for the first time since the start ITP. Met up with Xiu Yu and passed her the Adobe Creative Suite CD and had breakfast with her at Bukit Merah Mac Donalds. The assistant manager there was very polite and that is what I call good service.
Had lunch with my mom and brother at Swensens in Funan. Funan is holding some kind of robotics car racing competition, thus the first level is crowded with secondary school students. There are at least 12 20GB iPods kiosk around Funan for user to test out the iPod. I thought it was kinda cool of Apple. Played around with it and I like the navigation of the iPod. I can navigate through hundreds of songs easily. Hope can get my 15GB iPod before my birthday. My brother is influenced by me and I think he also getting one. He is much richer than me. Still finding a pouch or a small clip-on bag that can fit my mp3 player, wallet and keypouch.
Did nothing productive on Monday, I finally started to get sick of programming for the first time, because it is basically doing the same thing over and over again.
Today, met Up with Pei Jun for lunch at my house downstairs coffeeshop. Ate the Wan Ton Mee, been a few months since I ate that. She told me that her sister will become an official lawyer in May. Finally, I going to have a friend who is a lawyer. It is good to have friends from all kinds of trades. If I managed to see her around my house area, I shall ask her for a treat. LOL
Met up with Patrick and Denis, my primary school classmates and friends for more than a decade. It is a rare occasion that both of them no need to report to camp today and it has been more than a year since we last met up.
We met up in Bugis for breakfast and proceed to Sim Lim Square because Denis wanted to get some computer accessories. It seem to me that the whole Sim Lim Square ran out of stock for the Infra Red besides ATF Multimedia, thus no choice but to get from there. Saw the Apple iPod 15GB going for $528, but if I want to get it I would go to the Apple Store in Wheelock Place. Maybe I shall pamper myself and buy myself a birthday present, because my friends ask me to enjoy yourself as much as you can before going in to army.
Yesterday, went to NYDC at Holland Village for lunch. Wanted to order the Mushroom side dish, but it wasn’t ready. Ever since Geargina ordered it during LiXiang Birthday, I am craving for it. =(
At night had dinner at China Square. Ate the famous fish soup there. It is opened by my secondary school friend’s father. But now he is in army. Once he ORD, he will be helping out the store.
Went out with Laily, Serene and her boyfriend for a dinner at Marche in Suntec. Terry, LiXiang and Jacky couldn’t make it. After that went to watch some performance at Esplanade before going home.
Chio bu is all over the street today. In Marche, we sat one large group of people, we presumed is Japanese. ALL the girls there are chio and have the height and figure to be a model. The guys in the group are damm luckly. Don’t really regret going out today, a feast for the eyes. LOL
Yesterday went to Pete’s Place in Singapore Hyatt hotel. It is an Italian restaurant, went there for lunch with my mom and 2 of her friends. The food that is great and the price is reasonable too.
Later in the day, went to Ikea for dinner because my mom want to buy a side table for her company. The cafe didn’t sell the roast beef today so end up eating the salmon. I miss the beef there. Sighz.
Neowin has learned of shocking and potentially devastating news. It would appear that two packages are circulating on the internet, one being the source code to Windows 2000, and the other being the source code to Windows NT. At this time, it is hard to establish whether or not full code has leaked, and this will undoubtedly remain the situation until an attempt is made to compile them. Microsoft are currently unavailable for comment surrounding this leak so we have no official response from them at the time of writing.
Yesterday Xiu Yu came my house. Help her install some stuffs on her notebook. Either her computer’s graphics card or her monitor’s cable is faulty as no data is being transmitted to the monitor. Didn’t join my secondary school friends for supper because I was not feeling well. Wasted. Next Monday one of them will be going to Army. I want to see the before and after version of him.
Felt so much better after perspiring it out by eating Laksa and doing some exercise. Slept for 17 hours and woke up this afternoon and I am totally back to normal.
