私の部屋 (My Room)

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

Random essay/filler entry cos I am too busy….. Its something I did for Jap class, recycling it here.. Hahahaz… I am so lazy…. (No pictures.. Sorry!!!)


今の部屋になってから15年になります、それでもこの部屋は変わりません。多分、この部屋は私が寝たり、読んだり、勉強する所だけから。(私は読むことと勉強がすきじゃありません!)

My current room has been around for 15 years, but it has not changed much. This is probably because all I do in my room is sleep, read and study. (And I do not like reading or studying!)

私の部屋に入ると2つベッドがあります。1つのベッドが私の、もう一方のベッドが弟のです。でも、いま弟は「National Service」がありますから。平日は部屋で私だけが寝ます。

Upon entering my room, one will see two beds. One belongs to me, and the other belongs to my brother. But right now my brother is undergoing National Service, thus I am the only one sleeping in my room on weekdays.

私の部屋はとても乱雑です。いろいろ本と勉強する物が散らかっています。個人の部屋が個人の性格を示します。ええ、私はとても乱雑な人です。

My room is very messy. There are various books and studying materials scattered around it. One’s room shows one’s character. Yes, I am a very messy person.

でも、私の部屋で私はただ寝るだけです!

But all I do is sleep in my room!

2 days of Recess Break….. 5 more to go!!!

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

So far two days of recess break has passed……

Finally had the time to catch up with the series I have beeen following, got my badminton racket regripped with a nice ‘Pacific’ grip (Hahahaz.. Thx Greg for bringing me to the badminton shop) and played some AH (been a long time since I played)…. Anyways, that was yesterday…..

Made Jap curry today…..

End Product - Curry

Hahaaz… Blogging about this makes me feel hungry all over again…. So I guess I should just end it here, before I have to cook myself instant noodles…

Also read ‘The Catcher in The Rye’ by J.D. Salinger which was quoted from numerous times in ‘Ghost in the Shell’…. The most famous one would probably be: ‘I thought what I’d do was, I’d pretend to be one of those deaf-mutes….’

Well ‘The Catcher in The Rye’ makes quite an interesting read… The narration was definitely one of a kind, and well the story itself is also intriguing and quite touching….

Guess the next story I will be reading will be ‘The Laughing Man’ by J.D. Salinger, the original story that gave us “The Laughing Man” in ‘Ghost in the Shell’.


Badminton….. New Racket!!!

Friday, September 21st, 2007

Yay! Just got myself a new badminton racket yesterday… (Unrecorded Want Fulfilled) Tried it out today with Greg and the rest in Clementi Sports Hall today…. Feels better than the indestructable rackets of steel I used to use… (My playing was worse than usual tho) The grip seems to be “worned out”.. (Part of it stucked to the plastic wrapping when I was removing it….) Gotta change it soon!!!


Yonex Isometric 23 VF

Ya… Anyways I bought the racket in under 5 mins??? It was quite ironic since I was complaining about the lack of choices in Whitesands Sportslink…. The whole sequence of me buying the racket went like this: 1) Walk into store… Stunned by the many different rackets… 2) Storekeeper came over to ask if I needed help… 3) Asked him what’s a good racket that’s about $40… He immediately answered “Iso 23 VF”, showed me the racket… 4) Decided on buying it after like 3 seconds?!?!?

Hahaz… I guess I am like that… I will complain a lot about lack of choices, but when I actually do get the many different choices, I will decide that its too troublesome to decide by myself anyways….

Anyways, haven’t decided if the racket is worth the money yet…. Shall play more and see… Hopefully the badminton playing will continue on as a weekly thing….

Uni, Sch and everything in between…….

Just finished watching Byousoku 5cm…. Hahahaz…. Wanna watch it again!!!! Shall post about it next time….


2+ weeks of University life has passed, and I have sorta adapted (I hope) to it…..

  • Sign #1 - I am no longer staying up late to do tutorials (its always better to do them after you get the solutions)
  • Sign #2 - Quitted a CCA.. No point going to a CCA you don’t enjoy and will eventually quit….
  • Sign #3 - Came out with alternatives like… Tennis, hopefully Squash… and ya Climbing….
  • Sign #4 - Finally got down to watching Byousoku 5cm… This means I am able to set my priorities right now…

I think that’s enough points for today….

Anyways I am enjoying a 4 day week at the expense of next semester (6 modules… But that’s really next semester’s problem, isn’t really in my list of problems yet….)… So my free day is on Tuesday…. So.. No monday blues for me….. Although I kinda dread Fridays which starts at 8am and ends at 8pm…. (At least it ends with German lecture which I like….)

Ok will come out with a kofplayer style summary….. Lolx….

[EC1301 : Principle of Economics]
Its quite interesting…. Especially when its my first time taking Econs… The current lecturer is actually my tutor too… Hahax…. I guess he is a better tutor than a lecturer… Ya.. The tutorials are actually quite enlightening as he is able to touch on stuff he skimmed past during the lectures…. Sorta fills up the ideas presented during the lectures… I guess I will have to start participating in the discussions in the forum in the IVLE… Haix… Why do they have to count that as part of CA!??!?!?!

[EG1109 : Statics and Mechanics of Materials]
Nope.. Not buying the coursebook for this subject…. What kinda lecturer does not upload their lecture notes and ask his students to buy this book he wrote, which is essentially lecture notes…. -_-”‘ I am coping fine without the coursebook… Even if I am getting a book, it will be the textbook… Hahahahz…

[PC1431 : Physics for Engineering I]
Still doing Mechanics questions…… Doing fine…..

[MA1505 : Mathematics 1]
I finally sorta settled differentiation… Now I just have to try and remember how to integrate…. Which means ALC-style whacking of questions (which I should start tomorrow)…. Hope that will help me remember how to integrate and enable me to complete my tutorial that was dued 2 days ago….

[LAG1201 :German 1]
My favourite module…. Which I might not do well in…. Its fun, learning a new language…. But not easy too… My pronunciation of German words is still…. Quite bad… But I guess I will get it soon….
