I tot since in juz an hour time, i'll be heading to class for my tutorial, rather than studying, i've decided to put my books away for this one hour to update my blog, so nobody can complain dat i dun blog.
but seriously, i'm going crazy in NTU, the pace never seems to slow down and it's always getting faster and faster. every week just passes away so quickly dat i cant even feel it. other than studies, still got to be involved in inter-hall games training (which is finally ending by this week). so hope u all really understand why i have not been blogging for such a long long time.
anyway juz for ur info, i've yet to catch any sleep. have been studying with my tutorial mates since 1am till now, and will be going for lessons at 0830. trying my very best to do well, to redeem myself for the bad performance during my A Level, and in juz another 21 days, i'll be sitting for my 1st paper out of the 6 modules that i'm taking. for goodness sake, 6 modules!!! to be truth, i'm really worried i cant finish my revision on time, there's still more topics which have not been covered and there's only 3 weeks left. damn tired and sian!!...but i juz cant give up at this point of time.
i'm really tired... ...
i need strength, energy and support to keep my going... ...

as i promised, i won't take long to come back with another entry. since fang's away for golf lesson, and i dun have the mood to start studying for my Physics CA, i shall take this time to upload more photos??
*so did anyone guess who's house was it correctly?* hahaha =)
anyway day 3 in Hong Kong was a long and tiring day for us, considering the extremely humid weather. we start the day early with a trip to Shenzhen, which is just a 45min train ride from Tsim Sha Tsui. This trip was not included in our overall package, but fang wanted to extend her shopping trip to Shenzhen, and since it's our 1st time there, we paid to join a extremely small tour group - dat consists only the tour guide, the driver, the photographer (again) and the 2 of us!!! hahahaha!!!
for the first part of the trip, it's was exactly like the ending part of the Hong Kong complimentary tour, bringing us to jewellery shop, tea factory...blah blah blah...which we thought that we have wasted the money again. the worst part was when we went to the jewellery shop, they sold the diamond pendant which i bought for my mum earlier, and guess what it's 4 times cheaper!!! mind you 4 times cheaper!!! seriously, i dunno which one is the genuine one.
but luckily, the trip ended with something good that at least manage to console us that money was not wasted on this trip. they brought us to this place something like "Xiao Ren Guo", and it's something that fang and me have never been before. considering that it's in China, the whole place was well-built. one word: IMPRESSED.
look!! we are in paris!!
we even got to take a shot wif the camel in Egypt!! hahaha!!!
niagara falls in canada!!! hahaha!!!
i love this background. of course, with fang in the photo looks even better hahaha!!
obviously there are more photos but i cant possibly upload everything on the blog. like what qimin mentioned in her blog when she came back from thailand "dun even know whether you people are interested" hahaha!!! but dun worry i'll upload all the photos onto my imagestation account and attach a link to it, feel free to look at it. (erhm, i'll do dat when i change my skin, hahaha)
anyway the whole trip at Shenzhen ended with a shopping trip at a shopping mall near the train station. and fang bought lots of "cheap cheap" mickey mouse & astroboy t-shirts hahaha!!
*oh yah, forgot to mention in the 1st Hong Kong trip entry. ever since Disneyland is opening soon this Sept, mickey mouse craze is all over HongKong, that even Giordano sells Mickey Mouse t-shirt. I believe now u all can see them in local Giordano stores too, which was only available in HK 1 month back.*
we got back HK ard evening time, and by the time, we were already tired, but we still make our trip up to Victoria Peak to visit the famous Mdm Tussaud's Museum. Some of the figures resemble the actual person, ok here are some selective photos.
fang prefers him...sobsob *mq, if u realise they changed the 'theme' for andy lau. when u visited in may, he was in the "Ai Jun Ru Meng" theme, and in july, he was in "Wu Jian Dao" theme hahaha!! and brad pitt was 'removed' that i didnt manage to touch his chest hahaha!!!
eee...Yao Ming's armpit hair hahahahahaha!!!
hey! MM Lee is in Hong Kong too!!
argh!! i'm so stressed!!! can i be as smart as Einstein?? Pls?? At least 80% as smart as him??
these photos are the better one. the last 2 days was just shopping and shopping for fang, and phototaking. and towards the end of the whole trip, all wallets were empty, regardless of any currency that we brought. hahaha!!
the Hong Kong trip was definitely fun, esp got this chance to go with my love one. it's really nice, able to progress to this stage wif fang, it's just like a mini honeymoon hahaha!!! oh ya, like mq mentioned, hui liu shan is really good that we have it everyday!!! to the extend that, i actually had e tot of opening a franchise in Singapore. but to my disappointment, it's already opened in Lido Isetan. hahaha!!! definitely will be back in HongKong again some other time, probably to visit Ocean Park and Disneyland?? last pic of the yummy dessert:

it's been almost a month since i wrote my last entry
sorry to all those who have been visiting my blog regularly, only to their disappointment
i'm really truly deeply madly sorry
(sounds as if like the Savage Garden song - Truly, Madly, Deeply *if i got the order right* hahaha!!)
hahaha!!!
taking some time away from my studies now to update myself, since i have completed my tutorials for this week.
somehow i've feeling dat things have not been going quite well for me, i also dunno how to explain it in details, just have this feeling that things aren't going as smooth as i wanted/expected. somehow or rather, i just feel dat i'm a changed person.
*hmmm...probably not for me to comment bout myself, shd let frens ard me comment on this*
frens, do you all think dat i've changed?? i'll appreciate if you all can drop me a tag, thanx!!
i dun mind bad comments, at least i can learn and improve. heehee =)
anyway time to update my hongkong photos...
really really sorry...
day 2 was practically the free complimentary half-day tour, but it was interesting hearing the tour guide tell us all bout hongkong's belief in fengshui
fang and me @ the mid level of victoria peak. look at the haze behind us.
went to Repulse Bay too, a tourist attraction. beside the bay is this temple which we visted, lots of superstitious stuffs dat will bless you when you touch them. eg. fang and me touched this "Yin Yuan Shi" which we'll bless our love, and behind us is the famous "Yue Lao"
*Apparently, during the whole trip in HK, i touch alot of stuffs dat will bless me with lots of money, but till now i dun see any. hahahaha!!!*
*click image to enlarge the picture*
before you enlarge the picture, guess who's house is it.
hint: very famous worldwidethe trip ended with short trips to "Jumbo" and some jewellery factory, which i bought a diamond pendant for my mum, after which i was left with limited money for the rest for the 3 days. hahaha!!! oh yah, kena cheated big time towards the end of the tour, when the tour guide wanted us to buy some photos that they took for us during the tour. without any second thought, we just buy it and regretted it only when we returned to our hotel rooms, realising that they've charged too much for the photos. *how gullible can we be?? haiz hahaha!! we didnt reject coz we were shocked when they pushed us with the photos, and our first thought was if we don't buy, den they just throw the photos away meh, like dat not very nice mah?? hahaha. we're nice ppl k!!!
for the rest of the day, we just went shopping and explored hongkong island shopping centres.
day 2 was a simple day for us, so photos were limited. the next day we took lots of photos dat our batt could not last the whole day. well, i shall end here , i promise i'll be back SOON, definitely not for another month (i promise) with the rest of the trip. getting late and got to sleep, tml still have lesson @ 0830!!! BYEBYE!!!
*in case you cant guess who's house / see what i added in the last pic, the ans is "Jackie Chan's House"

sorry people who have been waiting for updated photos on my HK trip
i'm really sorry but i really just too busy to publish the remaining photos on my blog.
sch has started 2 weeks and i'm already feeling the stress esp after 2 years of break. it's totally different from the study lifestyle that i used to have in JC, and the competition is really strong. and furthermore, i'd really played too much in JC, that i really want to do well in university (though i might not carry on studies if my pilot application is successful)
*look at me now, still struggling with my tutorials @ this time, finding some precious mins to write an entry. later still have a tutorial class @ 0830, when my yest lesson ended only @ 1930*
alright gtg, don't worry ppl, i'll definitely be back with my photos
*cya*

officially started sch yesterday -25 July 2005-, after a long long 2 yrs break.
met alot of ppl whom i lost contact for many yrs, ppl from TK like William, Fane, Lawrance, and all of them are in Engineering hahaha, except that smart ppl like Fane and Lawrance have already secured the specialised places in Mechanical Eng. & Aerospace Eng. *good for them*
well, hopefully nxt yr i can stream to either Mechanical or Aerospace too. if not hopefully my pilot application will be successful coz it's really stressful to be in eng. after hearing so much horror stories from my seniors *about da bao*
anyway 1st day was just a Freshman Welcome Day, so all lessons were cancelled. nothing to do, so ended in cuppage to help fang get a new sony ericsson k750i phone. *have to thank qimin for making this possible, if not i would not have gotten the phone so early and might have to make another trip down to cuppage again*
started lectures today and it was relatively okay for the 1st 2 lectures, but the last lecture which ended @ 7:45pm really suck!!! wasted 2hrs sitting in the lecture room, listening to some lecture who i cant even understand what the hell he's talking about *pronoucing kids as kiss* and the worse thing is at some point during the lecture, he was abit confused about what he's teaching. HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHAT HE'S TEACHING, PLAINLY JUST READING THRU' THE POWERPOINT SLIDES!! to an extend that alot of people left the lecture theatre during the break, wanted to do that too but urged myself to stay. *if i skip lesson for 1 time, i'll definitely skip more in the future*
......................................................
enough of sch stuffs, it's time for something that all of you have been waiting for - PHOTOS FROM HK!!! had plenty of fun in hongkong and it was a great honeymoon with fang, no bickerings and arguments, and we simply enjoyed it. but weather there was terrible, the 1st night was extremely humid dat just walking down Nathan Road for 30secs make my whole body soaked with sweat and became so sticky and stinky. to such an extend that, both of us could not take it that, we kept going into air-conditioned shops even though we did not have any intention to buy anything from the shop hahaha. subsequent days were slightly better though, and by then we got use to it. anyway below are some photos on the 1st day of our trip.

*me and my new crampler bag that fang bought for me*
*mins before we fly off to hongkong, rubbing my dirty nose against fang's cheek hahaha*

*on the coach to our hotel*
*our first meal in HK - the famous "You Gu Qi" steamboat house. trust me, it was really good* this was the shop that we faced some language problems because fang and me don't really know cantonese and none of their staffs speaks mandarin. it was really like a chicken talking to a duck. in the end still okay after trying to mix canto and mandarin together - "Cantorin" hahaha!!
*fang posing on andy's handprint in avenue of stars*and that's all for now, folks.
will be back again with more photos, take care and see ya!!
