the day started fine with clear blue sky, it was even sunny... a bit too hot to ride in fact.... then i suddenly got a sms abt a meeting with Klaus Heese. Prof Heese is my lecturer for my module in neurobiology and he wanna meet us regarding our requests to be included in the research proj for this hols.... i din wanna go at first coz i tot it'll be another uneventful meeting again, like the past couple of times, and was planning to give it a miss coz' i was afraid that it might interfer with myt plan to ride.... well i went in the end, not wanting to trouble my frens to help me take down notes and stuffs....

230pm
it showed on my phone....shit... supposed to be at ah bao's rm... but im still watching this stupid lab safety vcd! argh! and know wad...? it started to pour.... not rain.... but pour, like no need money like tat....

4pm
finally reach hall.. but it's still raining.... decided to proceed on if the rain stops b4 5pm....din wanna disappoint ah bao coz he was like so gian of off-road riding after tat day at BT.... part of me was quite in dilemma coz i'll be meeting yanbin later in the day....scared i cant make it on time....

430pm
"aiyah dun care lah!! let's go!"
and we're off!! cycling in the light drizzle, heavy enough to soak us, but not so much which disallow cycling.... jersey drenched and dirty lor... nvm lah, can wash later...

hehe.... it was fun in the wet trail, muddy and all.... thou i still prefer dry ride...haha.... haiz.... i still hadn't got my pair of off-road tires... dun feel comfy with only the rear off-road tire....

TILL WE MEET AGAIN....!!

me on abc trail ride

December Break

Things To Do:
1. Research Proj
yes! Im in!! hmm…. Haf to be in sch nowadays… almost everyday, dun even feel like it’s hols… so much things to find out, to read, to plan and do, might even haf to write reports… shld I even be happy or not? Well it was my choice in the very first place…. So…. YEAH!!

2. Datuk/ Malacca Foot Comm. Trip
This was in our plans ever since even b4 the exam revision starts! HAH! Fast huh…. Cant wait to go man…. Still rem the last time we went Genting with the folks, Darn fun… all the havoc and stuffs… miss it so much….. it’s gonna take like 3-4 days for this trip…. How much money? I oso dunno….

3. Recce: Gunung Tapis
Well this recce was decided last minute in replacement for the trek to G.Agung in Bali. Not much time u see…. So Tapis lor…. Cheaper also… not need to take plane… 1500m above sea level…. Wonder how the view’s gonna be like…. Better be gd!!

Hmm… got a problem here now do we…? How can I possibly take so much time off my proj?? worse it’s that I’ve gotta work with 4 other students in the proj, if I dun go for a few days I’ll missed out a lot! (and so paisay also to juz be m.i.a. for so often, plus im always late for lab work)

Starting to regret taking up the position in trek comm le…. Yes it’s nice and fun to trek with the rest of the trek comm…. But it’s become like a job responsibility for us now. Of course I know that since I’ve taken up this job it’s my duty to go explore new trekking places… but the holiday is so short for goodness sake!! And I dun haf tat much Vitamin M to go so many places…. And………. I wanna go Datuk!!! Sounds like it’s so fun…... scenery worth dying for…. (choi choi)

“Everybody has secrets…..”

“Everybody has secrets…..”
This is the title of a supposedly korean R(A) show screened only in Cathay Orchard (cineleisure), then I realized it’s only NC-16 (disappointment!!)

Tis is the review:
“Mi-young’s boyfriend, Soo-Hyun is very attractive and also intelligent. Soo-hyun also gets involved with Mi-Young’s two older sisters, married Jin-young and naïve Sun-young. These three sisters can’t help falling in love with Soo-hyun. But secrets of this tangled love story among three sisters and Soo-hyun will be revealed…”

anyway… HERE’S the SPOILER!!
In the end none of the 3 sisters knows abt each other’s affair with that (lucky) guy and the guy did not end up with any of the 3 girls... instead each of them found their respective partners, happy with their lives… so……. Wad’s the point of the whole story then???

“who doesn’t haf secrets?” says the male lead..

yah who doesn’t haf? Anyone of u dare to say tat u bare ur heart n souls to at least 1 person in ur life??

1. I believe that each and everyone of us has an angel and a devil in his/her mind. (like wad we always see in Disney’s cartoon. i.e., Donald Duck) no one, yes, no one can be a saint all the time. At any one time there muz be a moment where the better (or worse) side of a person takes over, whether he succumb to temptation, choose easy way out, convenience blah blah…

2. the relationship betwn 2 human is such tat it’s necessary to lie…. ppl r apt to listen on to certain things: u like to hear tis, u dun like to hear tis…. U hope to know tat tis happened and tat has not… and to keep a relationship running, u need to say the “correct” things… aiyah im sure many of us haf this sort of experience rite?

Tat day I was listening to 933 and they were talking abt long-running relationships, as in BGR, marriage etc. then tis auntie (married for 20 yrs le still not auntie meh?) called in to contribute…

DJ: in ur opinion, wad is impt in keeping a relationship alive, and in ur case, still so loving for so many yrs?
Auntie: I believe the most impt thing to be truthful and thrust each other.

hmm… really…?
how is tat possible?? say if 1 wanna be totally truthful to the other, it’ll also mean tat the other will haf to haf a heart wide enough (心胸宽阔) to accept everything tat’s being told? Even if so, is the other one also deceiving him/herself in trying to accept wad he/she was being told?

Wad’s ya stand?

LIfe back to normal....

Ehhehee... exam over! finally..... seems like the longest exam i had ever taken.... (all exam seems to be the longest every time anyway....)

now im planning my time day by day... and wad haf i done so far?

went for dinner at some jap restaurant at some dark corners of Wisma... the set dinner is goooot...

watched The Incredibles! hey that show is nice...! i like Dash....funny kid

had a day of mountain biking (legs itchy!! and so...... i thrashed the trails! haha.. juz a short ride lar...)

and i juz nuuuahed today away....... enjoying life huh

wad abt the rest of the BS students? they r proceeding to the research proj that they were being offered.... in fact i heard they've started today.... talking abt this gets me mad.. real mad... only the top 25% of us r given a place and fundings in this programe for student research proj, the top few r even given pocket money! it's not like we're lousy students or wad.. juz tat we got a life to maintain and live mah...... i cant imagine myself going to library to study after every lecture to learn more.... i.... juz cant bring myself to do it... i need lunch.
( juz for a guage: >50% of my batch of BS ppl gets 3 or more A's)

wad abt average joe like myself? suck thumb.
yah it sound so nice, to say that we can also try to find our own proj, either within the sch or some outside organisation by our own means... but means that we gotta fund the proj!! where got money....?

in the first place the choice between NUS and NTU lies in the difference in the word "Technological".... now wad's happening? being the first batch of Bio students in NTU, we were promised "exciting curriculum", "cutting edge" of the life sciences...blah! unlike engineering students, we dun haf any Industrial Attachment.....

"we'll try to arrange for everyone to participate in a research attachment" and so HE said when we were in yr 1...

2 yrs later, yar, only the top 25% haf their hands on the research stuffs... 2 yrs and they only managed to do this? wad nice planning........ and u know wad...? "the rich gets richer, the poor only gets poorer...." talking abt having experience so tat we'll haf ease in looking for jobs next time... so where r we heading for?

maybe it's a wrong choice to come to NTU initially, or even i might even fare better in engineering.... watta do? now i haf only myself to blame for being so fickle-minded...ARGH!!!! I DUNNO!!!!!!!!!

hell with the books
i missed the feeling of the terrain beneathe my wheels man... it was shiok to be riding the trails at Bukit Timah and Track 15 yesterday! the sky was clear.... sun was high.... the buddies were there... and all of us were oggling at kokwee's new bike! SUGAR..... (so now i call him sugar daddy)

but boy, he looked disappointed yesterday... his rear shock failed to perform to his expectation. it felt like a hardtail, everyone says. haha.... insensitive guys... but well, we were juz being frank rite? we're biking khakis! but as ah bao had said, he'll be fine after a while...it takes a while for the shock to "eat in", else kw wld haf gotten used to it by then....

i love the feel of the trails and the sense of achievement every time i cleared a climb or manouvered my way down a steep descend.... haiya, i shld haf changed to knobbies instead of slipping the way thru with semi-slicks lah... din managed to clear one slope.... and i almost crashed into a bridge while cornering after a descend, coz i dun dare to lean too much in with those tires... nvm i shall try to get a pair of off-road tires soon....

.
look!! it's me hitting the BT trail!!
POSER!
(argh! ah bao took such a zoom out pic.... i took so nice one of him....)

here's another pic of guys training for Subaru Inter-School Race 2003.
i only joining them for a fun ride lar...cant make it for the race itself coz i got another event coming up as well... plus im lousy!
see my shagged face?

my first ever trail ride with the brothers... this was taken 2 yrs ago...look how green everyone looked! haha... green and blur... got chance i'll post a post of everyone here as a comparison...

welcome!

eheh....haha... kinda excited with this thingie...excited when i finally decided to get my butt down into blogging as well.. since ppl everywhere has been doing it... peer pressure? not innovative? copy-cat? wadever lah.... juz need a space for me to crap and blabber my nonsense away... else i'll be macam having a conversation with myself in my head all the time.... gonna go nuts someday.

it's been a rough day.... wad haf i done today? erm.... had my 4th paper of the sem; Genomics/Adv Genetics. FWAH!! bombastic module huh!! well the module is alright...the paper too.... BUT I SUCK!! dunno why.... but kinda dread the way Uni works around here (or im juz saying this becoz' i suck?).... usual times i can think and process info (though not as fast as i shld be).. but my info retrieval during exam is gonna kill me someday!!

as tingting (sbs (a.k.a. Sch of Bio Sc) mate) told jinwei:
"Qiuzhang did 5 questions in 30 mins!! "
jw: "fwah!! ni hen li hai! (u v power!) so fast!"
me: "yar.... the last 30 min...."
jw: "argh!! wahaha!!.........."

and me day was stucked at that....

as im typing this entry, at the back of my head someone (me myself actualli, told u i always talk to myself) telling me that i shld be studying now if i dun wan the same thing to repeat again for the last paper...

why muz we haf exams....? yes i know ppl going to tell me "it's like tat one wad... wad to do...?" yar lah.... but i juz wanna KB........ how i wish the schools ard here can put less emphasis on examinations, yes the ones tat u and me hate...the one we all burnt midnight oil for..the ones we lost hours and hours of sleep for.... if only exam only takes up like 40-50%....then can they truely select smart ppl from hardworking ones mah!! *wink* wahaha!!! juz dun like the thought of ppl not appearing for lectures, tutorial not done, assignmentts copied...and still get good grades coz they's got excellent memory.... sigh!! argh!!

ok brb.... see ya ard.
gotta get going le....
