ROOM811 or ROOM810 ????
Sunday, Time: 6.30am
Have to wake up early because need to go to church, really wanted to throw the alarm out the window when it rings, but still insist to climb down my comfortable bed and go to bathroom to have my teeth brush.......... mmmmmm....... Brain Start working!!! am i forgetting something very important inside my room? AHHH!!!!!!!!! MY KEY!!!!!! quickly run back to my room and found myself LOCKED OUT.... !#$!#$!$!$!$! 天啊！！！！ 没天理啊！！！ why on SUNDAY???? and at a time like this????
Should i wake up the RA in charge??? or wait for a later time?? though knowing it is their duty to serve us. but really hesitate to bother them at early hours like this. Struggle for half an hour, of course several attempts break into my own room using the ''card" method, obviously it FAILS... TT (hei, don't think the 'card' method won't work, i do have one ex-clustermates who successfully open up his door, it is just that i am LOUSY!! )
7.00am, no choice lar, have to find the RA in charge! 10 dollar 10 dollar lor, treat as giving to charity. Knock on my level RA, Vincent's door for he is the RA on duty (actually feels better when i know it is he who is in charge coz he is one of the early birds, may be i am WRONG), and a mindless soul answer me(think i only manage to wake up his body but not his spirit). With his almost shut's eye, and half open's mouth, Vincent lead me toward management office to get my spare key, really fear he will bump into any of the wall along the corridor coz there is no indication that his eye is functioning.
At the office, He ask me whether my room is 811, GOSH!!! BORTHER, it is YOUR ROOM leh, wake up MAN!!!! really wanted to smack him at the face to wake him up, keep laughing on the way back to my room.
Finally got inside my room, thanks Vincent and off i go to my church. Wanna express deep apology for Vincent, my RA for waking up him so early at the morning, and almost laugh to death when he ask me whether my room is 811. ^^; (it is just too funny)

My Final Year Project
Finally see a glance of light at the end of tunnel, after going through almost one month of literature review. Reading some reading that are totally not understandable, inding further readings just to load myself with more quiries and question mark. Sometimes wondering what is the purpose of taking all these readings... discouraged, hopeless, helpless and feeling down all the time when doing the revision, like going through a tunnel alone in complete darkness, without any sense of direction.
Things gone a little bit better this week, which i finally found some like that can connect what i am reading to what am i suppose to do. Quite blur though, but at least i know where am i heading and this becomes such an encouragement for me. Keep it up, keep walking and never-never Quit!!!!!

Friend
Bought a bottle for milk for a friend, initially think there is a need for her, that a busy person like her will not be able to go out to buy the milk for herself, but later found out that she has already bought some for herself, but still insist to buy the milk from me.
Think this girl is hesitate to reject a friend's goodwill, still receive an item which she not really needed just because she don't want to hurt the other party. Notice that she is a person like this, avoid troubling others to do things for her, but always steping forward to offers services, helps and advises for others that are in need; a courage of a true friends, it is this personality of her that draw many friends around her, it is this characteristic within her that makes me open up myself to her though i don't know her very long.
Surely, this type of kind hearted soul will be taken advantages by others sometimes, sometimes you may wonder why are you doing this, steping out just to invite trouble into your life, does that worth the trouble?? But don't feel discourages, you will reap what you sow; As you treating others well, others will also repay you with goodwill, quality friends will be attracted to you. I am sure this has been proven by numbers of good friends that is around you. So just keep it up!!
For this girl, try your best to finish the milk, ^^; may be you will miraculously grow taller at the end of the month due to the amount of calcium you have consumed. If really cannot finish it, here is a friend that is willing to come into your service, that don't wanna hurt you just as you don't wanna hurt others. 不好意思叻，麻烦到你了！！！

FASTING!!!!
Just started a 24 hours fasting from today 6.00am untill tomorrow 6.00am. This is to bring blessing for this week weekends service in which a famous preacher Sy Rogers will come to our church to preach, and for Pastor Sun (何耀珊) who will be in United State recording a new album which will be release early next year.
May be some of you may ask?? Fasting??? For Christian???? isn't that the traditions only Islamic have during their PUASA??? that is exactly the question that hits me when my cell group leader ask me to fast, what hit me most is that we have to do a 24 hrs one instead of malay's (12hrs) one. Really, initially i think that is impossible to be done.
Ya, christians do fast. we believe that through fasting and praying, we will be able to touch god for blessing to come upon us and for others, expecially when the whole church is one hearted, miraculous will happens.
This is not the first time i fast, i done that several time already. Now 24 hrs fasting is like peanuts for me. (nah!!!! still strugle expecially during the night, sleep early so that i can escape from at contant attacks my stomach imposed on me). Difficults, but just treat it as a step to extent my faith and be a blessing for others.
Ps: also treatening it as a way to save money and diet course to scale down my spare tire. ^^; Nothing to loose mah!!!

Dear Father
A total laughter inside HR(Human Resource) tutorial room, when a student was asked about his destination in life, and he answer "I wanted to be a father!!!". Not really know it is because he has reach that level of life of getting married and having babies, or he just remember about his father. But this student impressed me a lot because he notice this "occupation" of a father, which normally people won't notice one.
My home sick fever comes back again, remembering my dear father, who is a quiet and strict father. Didn't mind to chase you several street just to hit you at the back with his specially made "ROTAN", of course i did something terribly wrong that time. (think i stole something from my shop without informing him). My father is not at all good in expressing himself, everytime when calling back home, if it is father answering the phone, the conversation can be less than 1 minutes. ^^; (what to do???!!! when a quiet boy meet a quite man, that is normally what happens.
Father has done a lot of us, spending almost all his time running our grocery shop (which is the sole source of income of the family). The most exciting day for him in a week is to go to town 1-2 times just to visit my grandmother. don't really think that he has any other recreating activities besides reading books and taking care of some plants around the house. This the last time he go out for vacation is 3-4 years back, when he go back to visits his brother and sisters back in KK. Some of my relatives relates my father as being imprison by this cage of "顺远商店". But i know that he done all these just because he need to earn money for us, he sacrisfy his LIVE just to make sure that his children could live a better life.
Once my ambitions is to take over his bussiness, so that i can lighten his burden. But he encourages me to go for further studies, knowing that he have to work extra hard to support my schools fee and living expenses, but he is willing to do that for our own sake. How lucky am i to have this kind of loving father.
Thankyou father for loving me, thankyou for teaching me so much, thank you for hitting me so hard when i did something wrong, thankyou for giving me advises when i am confused. It is because of you that i manage to walk in the right path, it is your advises that comes to mind first, when i did something wrong.
I know i am a quiet person, but i am not ashame of it, because "quiet but forever loving" is the idendity you are in my mind. and somehow i wanted to relate myself to you.

Attack of BEE
SHOCK when i step out of the lift at level 8 KFH and see hundred of bees flying around the ceiling lamp. Each bee of the size of tumbs fingernail, colored in black with orange strip, one alone is fearful enough, not to say hundred of them. Have to fight my way back to my room, avoiding any interaction with the bees. (being taught by father since young that bee won't attack as long as it is not interupted).
Luckily i switched off my light when i go out, no bees are attracted into my room. after closing my windows and door, my room is totally isolated from outside world. Though it is really hot having the same air circulating in the room, but this will definitely much better than having several tens Da MI FENG accompanying you.
People at the level are panic about these un-invited guess, but this reminds me of my house back at my hometown which also been visited by these un-invited guess several time, guess my homesick fever has reach a critical level. Sad that all these rare visitors are being eliminated by insect killer Shieldtox&RidSect in an operation leaded by our RA. The safety of all residents is more of our prior concern, just too bad these visitors come at a wrong timing.

Bye Bye lar!!!!! my VIP...
Just finish my 3 months attachment with Data Storage Institute (DSI), really miss those meaningful, interesting, FUN, Crazy days. Although basically what is happenning is repeating the routine of waking up early, working, and rush back to room when the clock hit 6pm. But i am very lucky I am assigned to good supervisors Dr Yuan and Mr Ngai Keen. I really learn a lot of them during the internship, and exposed to actual working condition of a research engineers. Really need to express my gratitude to both of them.
Days at DSI won't be fun and exciting without collegues that are also doing their internship there. We played and talk a lot during working hours, sometimes even stand at the corridor and start chatting for hours, untill staff who are walking by also shake their head. (think we are a bit thick on this ^^; ) For us, this internship is defined as a period for us to Play, Enjoy and Fellowship in addition of learning something useful from the company.
There are also many outdoor event that we organise during the period. including three times attemps to climb BUKIT TIMAH (finally we make it), outdoor badminton game. Thank for them that my internship becomes very exciting and adventurous. Really miss them coz surely after this internship, we don't have a lot of chances to meet together.
