After months of effort,all of the mini-project groups' sensory evaluation was completed! The last of the groups that did sensory evaluation,which was today, was jessie's grp and junyong's group which were doing the dessert types.And Coffee culture was offering us to do FYP projects down there at next semester.But,they only take in 9ppl at most(Which was 3 groups).
CNY coming next week..

Last sat and sunday,i attended a leo club's even call Heal the Earth Event.It was originally at the padang,but as they were'nt allowed a permit down there,thus the venue was relocated to marina barrage.At this area,this was the ideal area for a picnic,as there are shops selling kites to fly kites down there,a view of the kallang basin and the sea which was not far away.But the cafe's food were almost twice the price of those you can see in normal foodcourts!
However,Marina barrage was'nt a very convient place to go to,as in order to go there,i need to alight from Marina bay MRT,then take bus 400 to go there(It comes every 30mins,miss it and you need to rot for 30mins at the bus stop).

Along with Jasmine-sp,last sat was simply a briefing.A briefing can take for several hours.wow.we are then sorted into different groups.I was placed in a group which needs to control the oncoming vehicles arriving to the carpark,while jasmine-sp somehow was placed in a group that packs the goodie bags.After the briefing,as we missed the bus,we had to walk all the way back to marina bay mrt along with a number of engineering guys.And that was a 30min walk.

During 23rd Jan,i had to catch the 1st MRT departing for jurong at 6am.and that was damn early.After reaching Marina Barrage,i simply started my job.I have to stop all vehicles to check if no unaurthoised cars have entered the carpark.However,as time goes by,Lon, who was the organiser,one moment telling us the public cant park inside the organiser's area, and the another moment,say they can park anywhere.i was like wtf?it was so damn confusing.in the end,we simply cincai do and by 10am,the carpark was full.My group then went to the rooftop to slack off.However,my group members left the area,one by one untill at the end of the day, only 3 out of 12ppl stayed till 5pm.Lunch was vegetarian food,and there was vegtarian bak kwa.
At the carnival, the stalls were simply selling organic foods,fertilisers,vegetarians.Among the stalls,there is one of them doing a free health check,measuring body fat %,weight and height,some of us actually went to do it.
Just before lunchtime,jasmine-sp and her friend called amanda was free enough to slack around with us for the rest of the afternoon..
Throughout the event,i could see dozens of volunteers slacking around and i soon found out that there was simply too many manpower,having almost 500-600ppl when they only need up to 300ppl.I really wonder why Lon was so kiasu to deploy so many ppl.And the goodie bag issue,tens of thousands were packed.However,about 6000 of them was left unused. At 1st,we were told to form a human chain to try to dispose them,but when we were told that the disposal trucks wont accept garbage which was'nt packed into boxes,the human chain become messed up.In the end, the goodie bags either put back in the warehouse,distribute to public or wasted.aww.what a waste of bags and effort as it took 2hours to pack 10000+ bags...
Many of us grew fustrated about the disposal of the goodies and simply left the area,leaving only a small number of the volunteers to handle them,as disposing or distributing the remaining 6000 goodie bags will take hours to complete...By then,it was 5.15pm when i left the area.

"Where'd You Go?" Fort Minor

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.

She said "Some days I feel like shit,
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"
I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
I get along but the trips always feel so long,
And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone,
'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,
But when I pick up I don't have much to say,
So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

You know the place where you used to live,
Used to barbecue up burgers and ribs,
Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile,
But now, you only stop by every once and a while,
Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time,
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,
You can call me if you find that you have something to say,
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
For why you're not around, and feeling so useless,
It seems one thing has been true all along,
You don't really know what you've got 'til it's gone,
I guess I've had it with you and your career,
When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it...

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...

7th jan 2011

After school,i left SP to go to RP.The open house down there was kinda lively and Eliz went to find me.We then went off outside her classroom and it eventually led me to understand why RP's classes are among the most slack during the 1st year. Classrooms can be used by anyone,students can use the classroom from morning till 6 or 7pm,which depends if the faciliator is around anot.
Eliz and i competed on solo-ing of papu,a clock boss on maplestory.(Imagine a 151Dk vs a 13x XBM)And when I reduced Papu to B2,Eliz already started second round of papu,so it was obvious who won..We stayed hereall the way to 7pm befreleaving.

This week, i got back my MST results.Passed almost all except QAS,which the normal distribution curve i could'nt get a single mark.And although i passed my CEP,it was disapointting as there was one qn that i used the wrong formula,losing 6marks in the process.The rest is pretty ok though.

Oh,SP has started its open house and some of the exhibition is near T11A.Lively sight with the usual free popcorn and candy floss.Oh,i did not consume them as at that time,i have yet to fully recover from sore throat.

FlashBacks of 2010
It's 2011! Time flies,as it's seem only yesterday that the year 2010 started...to me 2010 was abit of this and that's year.Let me summarise why..

January:
It started off ok, as congrats to shi ting having her bf and celebrating 1st month anniversary,but they encountered several issues.One of them was none other than trust,as both of them did not trust each other well, which was the main cause why she ditched almost all of her friends(i will explain later).

Got back my mst paper.except for my microbio, the rest was cui,especially CPPB.
However,i was able to make a comeback for IO Chemistry in the subsequent class test though(:

Poly open house was just like the usual, i helped out at a thurs(cant recall the date),and i have to help to explain information about my course (DFST) like COP,what modules to study,what sort of future these graduates will have etc.I helped at the open house to 4hours. On the 2nd day of poly open house(fri),shi ting came to my poly, wanting to find out more information about the business courses in there.However, business courses down there have a low COP and need a pass in english.We went to foodcourt 2 to eat and went on to foodcourt 1 to find royston before moving on to NP.
NP was rather lively and the business courses' COP were lower than those in SP.we initially wanted to move on to NYP,but time's running out as shi ting needs to meet her bf.I accompanied her to admiralty to have dinner before i went home.

By the time it reached febuary,it was CNY,once again.as usual,i visited relative's house to get hongbao and played some cards,winning some money in the process.After CNY,exams are drawing near,after exams,i went out with shi ting for like a couple of times like gg to watch movies like Being Human,go bugis,IT show at Suntec.There are a few times her bf JC tagged along and i really dun like the idea of being playing the third party,but JC wanted me to tag along to find out more about me as i've been helping shi ting out of a tight spot several times.(there are times i backed out though).Later, shi ting adapted a new name called Apple.Did she adapt this name from a mediacorp artiste?
I forgot,shi ting's o lvl results was not what she expected due to her L1R4 and flunking of english,and got posted to NYP
Joshua asked me out to play another rounds of C&C generals:zero hour.This time,his skills has a improvement,but still dun have what it takes to beat me(:


By the time it reached April,i got back my exam results: barely managed to scrape though.my gosh. And i was selected to help out in the Orientation,along with cm,kiat lun,jinlee etc.If i dun rmb wrongly,i did with cm in DFST class.the orientation was just like 2009's.

At the start of 2nd year,three new ppl came to my class,who came from jc.The 1st one i knew was zixi,a short hair and tanned gal.Looked kinda sporty to me.At that time,jinlee was 1st selected to be class rep and he was introducing all of us to zixi.However, he did not want to be class rep and once more,i was the class rep -.-
The other two,Haiyan and weiying whom i only get to find out during the 1st practical of a certain practical.Haiyan was from china who came to SG only last year,and weiying,who was a pretty tall gal,only second to huiting,was my age,who was'nt able to do well in her A lvls,despite retaking it once.
At DFST 01,edward was the new student in their class.He just ORD from NS after taking A levels.
New modules to study like Biochemistry,food chemistry,Process instrumentation,food microbiology, food preservation and etc.
By the time it reached june and shortly after my MST,Fifa world cup(hosted in S.africa) came.Quite a number of ppl in my class watched it,despite kick off times at 7.50pm,10pm and 2am(SG time).For the 1st time,Host and defending champions like South Africa and Italy was'nt able to go on to knockout stages.France's team was unpopular after the team simply refused to train just before a impt match.They could'nt win a single match and even lost to south africa.
Korea DPR(N.korea) put up a good fight against brazil but got pawned by portugal and ivory coast.
Korea Republic although got pawned by argentina,but drew with nigeria and won with greece.
USA tied with England(the rest i cant rmb)
And the famous Paul the octopus,which can predict the correct outcome of the matches.
SPain won the cup anyway...

It was during this time my class have another chalet at aloha-loyang(near coasta sand resort(Organised by Junyong and peggy),where we have our 1st chalet).All came except esther,haiyan and alicia(backed out at last minute by flying aeroplane,despite many calls and sms jasmine-sp did) it was from 21-23june 2010.And it has been several years since i did not sleep for a night though(Many of us only slept at 3-4am+).2nd night we went to tampines for dinner,went back and drank merry,ending up peggy,zixi,jenny got drunk.Kiat lun nearly got drunk though,however,on the 1st night,he was able to cook a nice instant noodles for us though.
1st night,ppl like huiyi,jasmine-sp,myself,kiatlun,jinlee,cm stayed up late enough to see jinxiong off as he went back home only at 6am. Weiying only came at 2nd day afternoon as she was at overseas untill 21june.





July came and our mst results are out.Argh.many ppl failed PI mst,including myself.However,many of those who failed are able to pass during the retake of the mst paper.
August was nothing special,and as usual,exams are coming.as usual,i often came to school to study,sometimes studying with dfst 2a/01 ppl like jun wen,joel,boon siang,jian hui,weiguang,edward.

Between July- December, there are ppl like Wen qing,Isabelle & Kingsley attempted to recuit me into MLM companies (Multi Level Marketing).Wq was only partially successful,as i wasted 60bucks for nothing but a dumb membership but i did not work there ever since,as it was too far from my place,and i did not like the way how enyouth(one of the MLM companies Wq was in)operates,how they recuit ppl and does to earn money
(Rmb sunshine place,a infamous MLM which got into trouble with the law?).And my friends like Junyong,Chon mun,Edward and weiying warned me against working there.As i backed out from working there,making Wq's efforts in vain,despite numerous attempt to ask me back.
It was during aug i started to do something about my weight,and with the help of exercising,green tea(not commerical ones) and abit of dieting,i managed to lose weight from 78kg to 66kg by october.
During the exams,except the PI paper,i did not struggle in any of the papers(: and surely,the results came out,having fared better than year 1^^
During the sept-october holidays,i found a job at F1, recemmended by huiyi.It was cleaning work=.='' and huiyi and her friends backed out,not wanting to work anymore on the 1st day.As usual,there are ppl my age group simply did not want to work there.My workplace was at Turn 2,and by the time it was Day 2,Only beeboon and myself were the only ones in my age group left in Turn 3 area

Advantage?i was able to see F1 cars racing and the managers in certain suites are kind enough to give us free drinks and sandwiches((: Day 2& 3,beeboon and i looked after VIP toilets.there was a uncle who helped us alot..Anyway,the pay was worth the 3days and beeboon was 2yrs younger than myself and was studying at ITE.



There are some pics of beeboon and me.

Somehow,i was re-introduced back to bowling by huiyi.As i did not bowl for nearly half a yr at that time,i started off badly but with the help of aldin(who will later be huiyi's bf),my skills was able to improve.Weiying at that time was a first timer but with aldin's help,she caught up very quickly.We somehow 'passed' the skills to haiyan and esther during 1st week of sem 2.

Weiying introduced me SP leo club to me and i joined.I took part in activities like collection of recyclable items at boon lay area,and the world diabetes day event near NYP

2nd semester,i was still the class rep,kiatlun still the class treasurer.Believe it anot,he can manage the class fund well(:
Jasmines-sp was the assistant class rep and was able to help me in alot of things^^
Well 2nd semester have Modules like Food development & design,food process,nutrition,CEP etc.Got one module that gets to eat and do project!
Oh,it was because of Nutrition and Food microbio that i knew what i wanted to be in the near future.
The mini project,was coffee based drinks,desserts and ice blended ones.I recall how hebin and tony 1st explained to us about different types of coffee beans to us and let us sample different beverages at biopolis,where coffee culture were initally.They eventually set up another branch at innvo village,where it was more easier to obtain materials for our mini-project.
Junyong's grp(where i was in) and jessie's grp did coffee-based desserts
Huiyi's grp and Serena's grp did beverages
Kiatlun's grp did ice-blended beverage(Believe me,they progressed faster than the rest of the group)

My group was'nt able to bake the desired products that we want by having the coffee taste untill we came up with another recipe.


December came.
After MST,we went to Marche,a swiss al-carte restaurant.The cheese pasta and the dessert makes it worth the spending to me,although the total costs mounted up to 22bucks.After marche,we went window shopping at various malls at somerset and orchard untill at night.(that was like for 3-4hours of walking),but not before Joshua-sp,kiatlun,me,yinmun,huiting,huiru and qiaoxin went to crystal jade to have dinner,eatting dim sum, and some fried rice & noodles.
At Marche(jinxiong,esther,jasmine-sp,weiying did not turn up due to various reasons)


Science centre trip the following day




By the time it reached late december,another class gathering,this time it's xmas celebrating at coffee culture.Did gift exchange though.







As for 2011's resolutions
-Strive for better results
-Not lose anymore friends
-Learn how to multi-task better.
