Quiz, Before Test

Quiz that lets me think deep, hard, truthfully how to do it...



1. How long will you wait for someone you love?

For イタニティ [eternity] or as long as I live.. xD



2. What do you want to do now?

What I want to do now.. Hmm.. Tough one. Do my best in every little thing so that I will not have regrets.. Learn to tolerate other's attitudes to problems I see as urgent, but others see as nothing.
Achieve peace of mind.. As what I read in a book, when you get more love, you get more peace of mind, if you get more peace of mind, you will get more love.. 



3. How much would you do for a stranger that you've never met before?

As much as I could help I guess..



4. Do you hate your friends sometimes?

No, Not now, Not Next Week, Not Ever, NEVER! Friends are for you to cherish. Enemies are for you to learn and guard from.. Hating a person saps me from my energy, I won't be so stupid to waste my energy on someone to hate, don't even say a friend. You can be pissed off or irk at his/her actions but they are still my friends. And since my ultimate goal is to achieve peace of mind [hopefully] I will forgive and forget. Its easier said than done I know, but I will do it! 



5. Where do you wish to die?

Where would be too general. How would be better.. xD Where would be in the eyes of my friends, family, and if possible, enemies.I want them to see me smile in my deathbed. That would be consoling to my friends and family and [demoralising?] to my enemies... How is to die painless, not by having too much painkillers, but to die in my sleep, with absolute peace of mind.



6. Do you believe in seeing a rainbow after rain?

Yup. Sunrays and Saturdays plus Some Rain would be perfect! Taking the picture would be a challenge. And if I would get a reward for taking a nice picture of the rainbow, I would want that pot of gold! xDD



7. What impossible things to do you wish to do?

a) Meet Every Little Thing, like seriously meet them. Not just 2 seconds of OMG I WANT YOUR AUTOGRAPH AND IF YOU TOUCH MY HAND I'M NEVER GONNA WASH IT EVER AGAIN!   [Reference Constance]

b) Being invisble and being able to teleport. Or at least give doraemon's pouch! xD

c) Being famous for saying "I am Dumpling" all over the universe.

d) All of the above and other things my brain, consciousness, subconsciousness and any other consciousness thinks about! xD



8) Your darkest secret?

heheh... shhh... here goes...  I think Im smatererererererererererererer than you! xD what do you expect me to say?



9) Are you happy with your life now?

Happy, maybe. Content? Absolutely! True happiness comes from being content.. xD



10) What would you do if your crush asked you out?

That would be a little hard to visualise but I will try my best in describing this to you. I would look her in the eye to ascertain whether she's telling the truth or just joking with me. Upon confirmation from my brain, I would break into a smile that is enough to beat all the wonders the world has seen, my eyes would shine like the sun at night [?!], I would stop breathing , and say "YES". All in the course of 30 seconds.

Hope this would happen, a very slim one, dim one, like the stars in the day....



11) Describe your other half
R: Oh you mean my left brain, its sweet. We look out for one another and make sure it doesnt get a stroke..
L: Aww.. So sweet... xD



12) What will you do when you fall in love with your best guy/girl friend?

By that time the heart would have told the brain to let everything flow, follow the flow and don't drown. That's the spirit!



13) What feeling do you hate the most?

How do you hate a feeling I must ask. But If an answer is required, I would say the pain of leaving people behind, be it friends, family or enemies, you would miss them from time to time.. xD



14) What's the best day you ever had.

I had many Best days. Because each holds a sentimental value that cannot be bought with money.. :D



15) The most important thing in Life

Love. Friends and Family would be loved, I would receive love, Peace of Mind.. 



16) What do you think is the most beautiful thing in the world/you have seen?

A smile. It is one of the most beautiful things on Planet Earth. A smile brightens your day, It would make anybody beautiful/handsome. It would be the eighth wonder. Wonderful!



17) Do you find life meaningless?

No. We all came here with a meaning we're supposed to find with no clues at all. We search and move blindly. If we're lucky, we would find it fast and it becomes our purpose in life. If we havent found it, don't worry, perservere and you shall get.



18) Who do you love the most?

Friends and Family and You. My dear reader. I know readers of my dead and boring blog are hard to come by. At least I've received one positive comment from a passer-by. Several unknown persons to remind me about a friend. LOL



19) Craziest thing (s) you ever did?

Ehh.. Let me count  1,2,3,4.....173,174,175.....902476893. I think its around there. Its countless!
How about predicting the next buses would come in the next minute, for the past 3 days ACCURATELY? Hahs. I bet you cant do it, and no I don't use IRIS, it sucks. I use my luck. Thanks Lady!



20) What's your greatest wish?

All My wishes are Great... [shameless]
To do my best is one of my wishes all the time.



21) Sweetest thing you ever did for someone?

Er.. Giving a sweet? xD
Of course not! Its to gather some friends and celebrate another friend's birthday! xD Many more but cant remember now...




Instructions: Remove one qn, replace with another. Pick 8 lucky souls to get them to do this quiz and tag them in their chatbox to notify them.

Fun, then not so Fun.

CATS presentation was a turbulence of a ride that I enjoyed la..
The other groups were just as great, if not better.
S&W showed the power of my wish of luck, in other words, tyco-ness.
"5 min and rain will come" -calm tone- It HAPPENED!!

After bidding farewell to a full bus of 154, i said to Alvin "1 more minute and another will come" -calmer tone-
It HAPPENED!!



If I wish it to be so, luck will always be on my side.





Brain sent my consciousness an e-mail.

Dear Consciousness,

I request a shut down of brain immediately. This is an emergency. If the brain does not get enough rest, you will bear the dire consequences. Beware of overclocking, it is bad for brain and computer.

Regards,
Brain.


Here's my consciousness' reply:

Dear Brain,

Request Unapproved. I need to study for tomorrow's test. It is very important and shutting down doesn't do the poor guy any good. The marks are important and do not, I mean DO NOT shut down halfway beacuse he's not even completed halfway of what's he's supposed to remember. The lecturer in question  did not even give any specific details on format and kinds of questions asked. I'm sorry but overclocking is a necessity. If not, we will request him to down some sugarless wings which will do you further bad.

Regards,
Consciousness.


Now back to my lecture slides.. 


Sugarless wings refers to sugarless REDBULL xD

Grooming Workshop.

Went early in the morning to the grooming workshop.. Marcus was early as me, Alvin was slightly early, Rais was late and Reuben didn't want to attend.. lol

The instructor/trainer was a lady called Amy.. There are so many Amys here and there.. xD

We were taught on how to sit, stand, put lactic acid on our face for 7min, rinsed our faces and washed with a facial wash, then put toner and moisturiser cum sunblock. Was told how our face shape should match our ties. How to pick the right fitting shirt.. And we had our photoshoot..


The camera with who-knows-how-many-megapixels..

The flash.

Jian Fei having his hair styled by the hairstylist..

The trainer.

Look whos here? Our classmates! lol.. obviously its the ultra zoom at work.

The face wash gel thing.


Too dim [Flash at -2]                                            Too bright [Flash at 0]



Just nice! [Flash at -1]    Thanks Alvin for modelling.. xD

Coursemate and Trainer..

Me.. lol

The class..

Spot the difference! xp

Me.. look strange..


And lastly, TR03 guys.. 


Went to ourspace to meet up with fellow  classmates to do the ITR wiki and BCOMM discussion.. MIEC is like "why everyone are posting their answers? I thought its to post comments?" but really, comments are hard to think of, especially when TR01 answers so well.. xDDD

Learnt that Singapore has an astonishing 98 places of attractions, or so my classmate said..

This ITR wiki is the start of next year's inter-class project.. each class will come up with a proposal and must present to the judges [our lecturers] on CEM [Conventions and Events Management]  next year.. cox thats what my seniors did..

Suntec Outing... zzz

Hey so this is the picture post [im sure you've figured it out depending on the lagginess of loading rite?]  very disappointed with that day's performance.. cox lighting was poor all the way and i hum to use flash... *couldnt differentiate wads public and private* xDD haii..

Anw, i reached SICEC [Suntec International Conventions & Exhibitions Centre] at around 0915hrs.. 30min before the scheduled 0945hrs.. Was listening to ELT and reading The Straits Times and was oblivious to the surroundings so like got a little (shock?) when Ms. Ong approached me.. 

she said there were a few others eating breakfast at Citylink Mall.. To think i starved all the way there on the bus cox i couldnt get a seat so that i could get a bite.. -.-

As time approached nearer and nearer to the scheduled hour, more and more people appeared.. But there were still a few latecomers.. *facepalm* 

To think Ms. Ong emphasized its a hosted tour and we shld give those people some face.. -.-"

Ultrazoom at work again.. Some people whom have arrived..

Some of my classmates.. from left Wendy, WeiWei, XianQing [the tall figure] and Fathin.

Bored to tears.. Then took this..

And this.

[Insert own caption]

Can you tell i'm damn bored?

Strong lights? No. Don't be tricked by the looks...

Class pic again.. lol

See? Dam blur.. at 1/13 sec framespeed, my highly unstable arms will produce such images...
In the pic are from left, Reuben, Marcus and Alvin..

Boredom at it again [cox the escalator is wols]

Boredommmmmm xDD


We start from the top.. on the 6th level..

Blur faces..

The one on the left is w/o flash, on the right is with flash.. w/o flash is brighter and blurrer and the one with flash is the exact opposite, dimmer and clearer.. The main difference btw 6th and 4th floor halls is that 6th floor's hall is pillarless, 4th floor's has pillars..

Ms. Ong taking a picture of us while we're descending.. Managed to snap a shot before she snapped ours. xD

See? There's pillars on the 4th floor convention hall..

Down to the 3rd floor..

The 2 hosts bringing us... [cox 100 is too large a grp..]

The i-forgot-what-it-is-called area.. Taken up by Sony in IT shows..

One of the meeting rooms.

With flash.

The foyer, with the buffet tables..

The theatre..

With flash..

Blurr

The 2 groups managed to "clash" with each other.. Us going down while the other going up.. So we sat down and they explained to us the nitty gritty details of the theatre..

The glass panels are where 12 translators can sit.. 

Nice decor, bad picture..

Rm 208.

Nice conference table.. The room is self sufficient.. It has its own pantry, toilet etc..

Rest

The pantry area.. The glasses are covered by some cloth..

Wah nice couch..

Suntec..

The interior of the pantry

I conveniently aimed and Ivy and she conveniently posed for the camera and i got this shot. How convenient. 

the carpet pattern of the ballroom foyer

The carpet of the ballroom

One of three ballrooms... All can be opened up to one big ballroom that can hold at most 110 tables... Not so nice lor.. I like RC's better.. Have the huge chandelier on the high ceiling..

AV control area..

Blur flowers

Blurrer foyer

End of tour.. Other classes..

Finally for our class to take a class pic!

 [cox jus now other classes took before the start, and some of our classmates went to buy something to eat/drink and when they were back, the tour is about to start, nevertheless, we still got our grp pic!]

Had lunch at the foodcourt near the fountain.. While walking towards the surface saw TR02..

they celebrating their classmate's birthday.. He's wearing the burger king's king cap [or smth]
picture took by their friendly service crew.. i jus took candid shots... xD

Another snap.. with zoom..

This with more zoom.. [they are still taking their grp pic..]

Went to Kbox to find Joanna, Leanne, Wendy, Xijin, Sinying and Jianling

We went in for 10 min to watch and hear them sing.. 

After being chased out politely, we went to submit our group post for the MIEC qn to the forum.. We're the first! So proud.. xD
Sent on a bench outside Build a Bear Workshop with the ever existant [in shopping centres] Wireless@SG.

Took a train to Somerset and went to HMV.. Bought ELT's 10th anniversary special concert DVD [guilty, elated, shiok all rolled into one]

Went to Stibicks [Starbucks's in Xianqing's language..]

Weiwei's White chocolate drink..

My milk panda empty wrapping.. [when i first whipped this out, xianqin's eyes saw food, not milk flavour.. Until she popped one into her mouth and weiwei said its milk flavour then she like "What!? Milk?! OMGGGG!? ok maybe im exaggerating.. mayb] xD

Blurred Xianqing

Blurred Reuben and Weiwei.

Blurred Weiwei and Marcus

Then went to catch:

Its a great movie lah.. I don't mind watching it again lor... The moves were great!
Its an action flick with some tragedy and comedy thrown in for good measure and at the right times too! I wonder how many takes she took just to bounce the chocolates which look like smarties from her hand to her other arm into her mouth.. Imagine the other moves.. No wonder it took 4 years to complete this great movie! xD

After the movie, tagged along to window shop with them and then took 143 home..

 At the stop where commonwealth secondary's side is, I saw a magnificent sight.. Layers of clouds, with the clourful hues of the setting sun, made such a breathtaking view.. It has red, yellow, orange, blue, indigo and violet.. 

Wow! I tot.. But I REGRET not getting off the bus to snap that.. cox i tot tt i could take tt at my stop there.. I was sooo sooo wrong.. The layers of clouds were above me then.. 

Lesson learnt: When I see something, stop everything and take that shot, because it will not come again.. Not so easy.. D:

To fill up my emptiness, took some plain shots of the clouds.. Not so vibrant in colour than the painting of the sky i saw with my eyes...









Went home and after I had my dinner, rushed to watch:






Its great la.. Jus that Kaori's voice then was not so good.. Her voice is healed now.. Too bad I cant go to their concert in Japan..
