Birthday Surprise hasn’t end

I was greeted with birthday wishes this morning when I reached school. Friends from Singapore also message me with wishes. Sorry Fiona that I did not pick up your call. :P I was watching Naruto and my phone was in silent mode. Hehe.. Thank you all!

Reached home after lesson, and I guess it will mark the end of 24th. But suddenly, Linda came over and brought me a bowl of shou mian寿面 saying it was made by his household. Again, I was tricked. She told she is in school in MSN and then minutes later, she appears at my door. Then, it doesn’t end there. Later, I found out that the noodle was made by Airene. Man, I was so paiseh. Hehe… Thanks Airene for the noodle! It taste great! I think it is my first time eating 寿面.

Birthday Surprise

Last night, my friends celebrated my birthday. We cooked wanton, cabbage with scallops, curry chicken, meat balls, nuggets and lasagna. Oooo!! All my favorite dishes! Special thanks to Linda, Dave, Eileen, Tricia and Regina for putting up the delicious dishes. I was also caught off guard when they surprise me with a cheese cake. I did not expect a cake because they told me that they have forgotten to get one. I didn’t suspect anything even when they switched off the room lights. Guess I am too engrossed with my Naruto anime on my laptop :P





Opps… looks like I am getting fatter.

Lost in Translation - The Juxtapose of Theory, Design and Technology - Directed by 许育才

Earlier this afternoon, one of my friends asked me. What is it about my nick “Lost in Translation - The Juxtapose of Theory, Design and Technology - Directed by 许育才”. Is it a new book I am writing? Nope it is not.

This week, I have been juggling around with my History and Theory, Design Studio and Building Technology Design units. There are simply so much things to do and this Tuesday and Wednesday, I need to come out with something to discuss. I am still stuck in my essay. Words are flying in my head but it can’t seem to get into the computer. I simply stare blankly for minutes or hours just to think of a few paragraphs.

Frustrated, I went to get something to eat, to munch, and took out a Ruby Grapefruit I bought 2 days ago to eat. The skin is thick, like the thickness of my skull. Information just seems to be stuck within and resist coming out.



Go back to work I must. I cannot be so slack anymore.

A Moment of Sadness and Joy

Sick and tired of work. I should not feel that way. There always comes laughter of joy. My friends cheered me up a lot, even though they did not know that I am so stress up with my work. I continued to converse with them and joined in the fun which makes my worries goes. I hate to get worried or depressed as it really affects my work quality. I rather put worries aside and join the bright side. Always hanging with the problems is not what I am. They are full of spikes which will always disturb me making me terrible. I should pluck them all out, tackle those problem and leave no regrets when i know i put the best in my work.

Good luck to my upcoming submissions… anyway, good night to everyone. Hope tomorrow is a better day.

Back in Action

It has been long since I updated my life story. Yesterday, a group of the year 3 and 4 had a potluck dinner in the School of Architecture building. It was also part of the farewell dinner for April who is leaving for Singapore tomorrow. I made Chee Cheong Fun, but it was quite a failure last night because I did not get the correct wrong mixture which is the perfect proportion I made on Friday night. It turned out to be too soft. Luckily, I did not eat the nicely done Chee Cheong Fun, if not, I will have nothing to bring over.

We had a game of mahjong, and also there are 2 tables playing poker and UNO each. Suddenly, the School of Architecture 3rd year studio becomes a gambling den, without money involve. We were rebellious. Our homework not done, work left aside, and was playing till after midnight. But it was fun. It feels so good to stay away from our work once in a while.

I watched the Singapore National Day 2007 on youtube in school yesterday. And to my surprise, and also proud of, my cousin-in-law was the Parade Sergeant Major of this year’s NDP. Watching the parade marches into the stage, it reminded me of the good old times when I was in the army. Sometimes, it is not a bad idea to stay in the army. I am still proud of going through the tough training during my Officership course which thought me a great deal of leadership.

Back from Hobart Site Visit

It was a very tiring trip down to Hobart for our semester 2 site visit. But it is very interesting and interactive in the way Helen had organized us for our group discussion. I learnt a lot of issues from different perspective. Then, we came out with different proposition and possibility from our analysis to our site. I am lucky that this semester I have a good team to work with.

Yesterday, the last day, my usual friends and I decided to walk through the underground drainage to the other end. There was a portion where a dam was created across forcing us to walk along a narrow curb at the side. There is a pipe protruding out of the wall at my forehead height. The first cross, I managed to duck to avoid it. But during the return trip, I was walking so fast and didn’t duck low enough, my head hit it hard. It was so painful! Till now, I can still feel the pain when I bend down or pull my facial skin backwards.

There are lots of thing happened during the trip. We got a $50 summon over unauthorized parking in a permit holder lot carpark. 2nd, our lodge, the Couch House, got a blackout while we are preparing dinner. We got a refund for one night and free stay in 2 other smaller units for that night, but minutes after we moved, the electricity came back.

It was lucky that we did not lose anything. The refund get us each back at least $6.40 back in our pockets.

Blackout

It was a bad night 3 days ago. I woke up in the middle of the night and went to the toilet. Then, I had a very uncomfortable feeling in my chest. The next time I notice, I was on the floor beside the toilet bowl. I had a blackout. My nose had a small cut and there is bruises and a jelly bean size scratch below my lips. It bleeds. What a night. I do not know how long I laid there.

Lastly, I had good news to announce. Yesterday, it was my first day for Winter Elective. But that’s not the good news. The good news is that I found m 6 years long lost friend! Finally he tried to contact me on my Singapore Woodlands home and called for my youngest sister and asked about me. I can’t believe he still has my MSN address. He is really some true friend who still keeps my home number and MSN address.
