You don't need a passport to get here (II).

By YC.

It's official.

I have graduated as of 5 Dec 3pm. ^^!

I am going to Vietnam from 11 Dec to 18 Dec. Just managed to book the tickets and its a freaking $30 more expensive! Grr. Anyone wanna join me?

My sister wedding is on 22 Dec.

I am going to Taiwan on 26 Dec to 3 Jan! So exciting.

Worst Nightmare of a Student

Just 5 hours before exams today, I was fully prepared.

"The first time in history I am ahead of time", I thought.

And then I realized I was fully prepared yes, but for the wrong paper. I had prepared for tomorrow's paper instead. Ah! Horrors of horrors!

For the first time ever, I prepared wrongly for an exam.

To think I was still trying to book tickets for Vietnam (but didnt manage to do so bcos Jetstar system screw up and damn it the price increased by freaking $100 for that same flight when I just checked! WTH! Also hope it wont charge me for that 3 failed signups. -_-!)

Ok so I had 5 hours to eat, travel to school and study for a subject which I didnt really touch. Because being me, whose middle name is last minute, I thought I had time to cram in all by tonight. Well now I have all the time tonight, because for the first time, I finished studying like a day before and hence I am now blogging. I also thought I need not sleep tonight and will burn midnight oil but it turns out I am so wrong. -_-!

Freaking lucky that I went to recheck the time again (because afraid I will miss an exam and hence not able to grad). I have checked the timings like a million time, but never match it to the subjects because I was so confident I had the sequence right. So its heng that this time I looked and saw my big big mistake. Also super heng that it is open book. And even more heng that as what my friend say - got study no study also not much difference. And heng heng also I never got the timing wrong, I will cry if I missed my exam sia. I can't imagine how bad it will be if after I set off then know about the mistake - or worst, if I only know at the venue at the time when the exam start - never study and no notes. Ahh the worst nightmare of a student sia.

So I managed to cram my studying in like 5 hours somehow. When I planned for like almost 24 hours of no sleeping to finish it. Of course I didnt finish! But its over now! Yay. Actually its quite ironic that I studied wrongly because I have a whole full week to prepare for both papers. But the other one took me some time to finish all 11 week of webcasts and readings on top of working, facebooking and desperate housewives 3. Actually for tmr paper I think I worked the hardest for it, despite it being open book and as a gem, I started the readings before even my first paper. So I took like almost 2 week for it. My other gem only took me like one day because of previous CAs covering all already, but I think I screw up on that but nvm can s/u! Then today paper I did start 2 chapters before time plus 5 hours of cram studying.

Last paper! In like 16 hours or so I will be free from school ^^ No more exams and worries that I will miss it. (Unless I fail but choy!)

Going to sleep. Weird that I got time to sleep today.

走过的路

作词：蔡健雅 作曲：蔡健雅

曾拥有过的这一切 都可能在一瞬间全都消失
曾最让我感动的事 都可能经过时间而被遗忘
也许我不对 不够认真

曾经我相信只有他 是我在这世界上最爱的人
但相信不代表永刻 人总会有喜新厌旧的时刻
也许我不懂 想要的爱
也许因为不懂 才一再的受伤害

直到现在 走过的路
有些心酸辛苦但至少有些小幸福 爱过恨过走过的路
很多感触 或许在一个人散步时心中还会回顾
只希望自己能走出片天空 勇敢的走 到未来

曾经被辜负过的心 是可以重新来过找回勇气
生命中的成功失败 也许总有一天我才会明白
谁会告诉我 什么是对
懂还是不懂 只要不要被打败

直到现在 走过的路
有些心酸辛苦但至少有些小幸福 爱过恨过走过的路
很多感触 或许在一个人散步时心中还会回顾
只希望自己能走出片天空 勇敢的走 到未来

遗憾别过度分析 会伤忆 期待别捆绑自己 会失望
简单的来说 我想要的并不多
不需要完美 只要能与众不同

直到现在 走过的路
有些心酸辛苦但至少有些小幸福 爱过恨过走过的路
太多感触 常在你最失落的时候让人想不开
想逃想躲但知道应该 勇敢的走 到未来
勇敢的走 到未来

^^

Happy Halloween

(From the Eyesores application in Facebook)



A Halloween film done in hall 3 years back. I filmed almost all the blooper shots . Apparently I also came up with the script together with KY. Totally don't remember writing such a lame script lolz. Enjoy anw.

Vincent

Don McLean

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colours on the snowy linen land

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds and violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colours changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artists' loving hand

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They're not listening still
Perhaps they never will.




Heard this song before but never did know the meaning behind this song until now. Love it. It's my ringtone now~

v-rin or vern. whatever you call it.

v-r-y-n

Alot of people have asked what does the four letter stands for.
Actually it stands for nothing.

It just four letters I have put together, simply because they look nice together.

It's a name, a name I created for NM2208 module, because I didn't wanted to use my real name.

For my assignment. I prefer the top one.

Also for the assignment, but done wrongly. But I still like it.

I dont really use this name, except for facebook/msn, & only JTA peeps know me as Vryn. Told them I didn't exactly know how to pronounce the name, and they came up with v-rin or vern as a way of calling me.

And recently when I was bored, I surfed for the name. Presto I came upon Terence Koh (not Goh) blog and found this: "Yi Eng, whose English name Vryn is cool enough for me to want to name my daughter just that, and whose name was picked from her own English project, concerning names." Haha even though some info is wrong, at least someone thinks my name is cool. Lolz.

But think Audrey will prefer my real name. In an email after I signed off as Vryn, she had this in her reply: "PS: you will always be yieng to me lor. =)"

So this is the story of v-r-y-n.

Congratulations

Wishing 大姐 & 姐夫

Home Sweet Home

Back in Singapore.

The very day went to see doctor or my persistence cough. Sleep and then wake to have a nice dinner with family. Mmmm.

The very next day which I went to school, saw some familiar faces, ate at the new but super-waste-space arts canteen with Ning Jing, use the for CD-Rom computer illegally because I got sian of waiting in queue, got a free textbook, went to IT coop for a keyboard which I later discover is so insensitive to my typing, went home, got a call from Alan and Maggie, sleep. woke up at 12 midnight, ate dinner and used the computer.

The next day went to school again. Ate lunch with Maggie. And then have 8 hr back-to-back lessons. -_-! So dont ask me out on Friday. Basically I have lsns from 10-12 and then 2-10. Anyone for lunch at 12-2? And it seems that all the lecturers dont give any breaks!!!! $%^*#@ Whatever. Anyway I have a 3 day week. Tue, Thurs & Fri.

Yesterday went for SPH new New Media Project student reporter interview. Dont know if will succeed a not. Bleh. And then went to work at DC and watched this great show!

T-R-A-V-E-L!

We have officially ended the W part of Work & Travel. And so now we are starting on the T part! Hee. I am now in NY and guess what?! I caught BROADWAY! Les Miserables. It is AWESOME. LOVE it! The revolving stage is so cool and the transition from scene to scene is so slick. Whee. The singing is nice too. And the way they presented the scenes are soo soo nice. AUDREY are you jealous?!

Tmr, our first stop is Statue of Liberty. Suppose to wake at 6.30 am which means only 4 hrs of sleep. Die.

P.S. Modules bidding sucks but thanks dear Cheryl for helping me monitor my bids! Muacks love ya take care.

This is why I want to graduate ASAP

Grr I hate planning for modules. Especially when not much is being offered this semester. Was thinking of going for this 8 MC internship but then it is counted as a level 3000 module which I have fulfilled all. And then GAP is so screwed. I am missing one UE -_-! which means I may have to clear 6 modules the coming semester too. And since my laptop cant be open, I am missing the document which I supposedly have eveything planned out. And then there is this one new level 3000 module that involved digital photography which I am so tempted to take! Haiz. I was also thinking of stopping for one semester because semester two have more modules. But feel like graduating sooner. Get over and done with studying. So gggrrrr. And CORS bidding is like these few days. And I havent decided anything yet. Although I did my advance bidding already but for my major I am just taking what is offered, rather then what I want which is offered in sem 2. And for my minor I am stuck with this one module I am hoping to avoid, after the horror story of my frenz dropping it just so she can s/u it.

Dont worry if you dont understand what I typed. Just ranting.

Independence Day
4th of July was just spent like every other day with me going to Discovery Cove for extra hours. Worked a total of 13.5 hours. The best thing about it was that we all get to have free lunch & dinner! Whee and free cookies from our management too. Of course fireworks are not to be missed. I walked all over to waterfront with my broom and dustpan during my sweep/break hour. Its not fantastic, the ending displays are better with the starting displays being nothing much, but it better than nothing :) So there July 4th and the park is not even as packed as on the third and fifth. Oh and its also Jesus last day of work. He's leaving for the army.

Lauren, Lyndsay, Me & Boonie. Walked 15 min to Ports of Call just for the free dinner.

The sausage is fanstatic! Mmmm I had like 2 plates of helping + ice cream! Mmm.

The fireworks.
