70 cents today.

4 more days to year 2008!

Festive season sucks without cash.

Last Friday 20 cents, yesterday 10 cent. This month is like a month of money-picking month. Let's see if I can accumulate a dollar by the end of December.

Life is still the same, not been training these period of time. Just not motivated enough.

Some people are ambitious, so they aim for something and work hard to achieve it. So does working hard means that you will definitely achieve what you want?

Happy Birthday Irvin and Bo Han.

Thanks to Winsor's blog for this melody.


Title of the piano piece:
Back Home

Another 20 cents today.

So where is the hardest wall in the whole wide world that I can go bang my head against it?

Apple Strudel


That day was complaining that I was broke, I managed to pick up 10 cents on the bus stop. Yesterday was 20 cents on the bus!! hahaha... so what's next? lol.

I was craving for apple strudel for damn long. The last time I had it was year 2003. That time my secondary school had moved to a new location, then 2 bus stops away there is this Renaldo's Apple Strudel shop. That was my first time tasting apple strudel. Great taste! Eat it with the crumps all over the table.haha!

4 years later, which was yesterday, I finally had another try of apple strudel. It was Ritz's Apple Strudel this time at Bugis. Of course I can't say which is better, the taste I had 4 years ago cannot remember already. Apple strudel is really nice. Other flavour such as durian, mango strawberry also available. Interested parties can jio me for apple strudel someday!! lol..

"Yes, yes y'all
we don't stop
Get creative, can do, rock on!

Yes, yes y'all
we don't stop
Get connected worldwide, rock on!"

Some negative comment regarding this MDA rap.Well, I think that it is a good one. They are really cool people and daring. Those are the senior management people, yet they are still willing to shoot this rap, I think that they deserve a round of applause already. Just imagine that you are now the senior management, are you willing to rap it? Do you even dare to do it? Rap is another language to connect to more people out there. I think it is working quite well.

They rocks~~~

historical landmark?

My first interaction with my washing machine...

First time washing my clothes using the washing machine. It seems 'new' to me through it has been there for few years already. 2 baskets of clothes are waiting for me to wash them, firstly put water, secondly, put detergent, lastly press here and there and let it wash by itself. hahaha... Well, washing clothes is not as hard as I thought. After washing, I do have a sense of satisfaction =D

Next, should be learning to cook.lol.

Rainy session now, no sun, no white cloud. Rain too much also sian. Just bring back some sunny days can?

Finally receive my enlistment notice stating where I will be going. Well, 1 month plus more to go. No mood to train up. Recently have been kind of broke, god is kind la, I manage to pick up 10 cent today.

2nd driving practical lesson, get to make the car move. Driving is fun.

Hong Yi told me the picture is a historical landmark, which has got to do with WW2, hmm...to me is just another old house, maybe by going in will have a better concept and image of the house.

Jia Fuu: Got girlfriend now?
Wei Jie: No
Jia Fuu: Why don't get one? TP so many...

To get a girlfriend got so easy de ah? lol!!!

Happy December!~~~

Now is 1st Dec 2007, 0045h. If you ask me where was I at the 1st second when the clock strike 12 at this brand new month, I just gonna say I was at the escalator coming down from Tanah Merah MRT station, counting down with Hui Kiat and Hui San.

So where were you at 0000h on 1st Dec 2007?

5 national dragonboaters who went to race in Cambodia and died there. I believe Singaporeans have been watching out for this news closely these few days. It also hit the headlines on the newspaper.

Seriously, it saddens me. Though I am not close with anyone of them, but somehow i just can't help feeling sad. Seeing familiar faces in kallang or race site, and now they are gone just like that. Seeing the newspaper reporting on the news these few days, showing their pictures on the newspaper, i just don't know what is the word to describe the feeling. It is really an unexpected incident. People just gone like that. I believe all of the dragonboaters out there may also feel sad. They are so near to the pontoon already, yet so far.

Life is unexpected. People whom you see most of the time may just gone like that. Cherish them well before it's too late.

Rest in peace, the 5 national rowers.

Final Theory Result

Shi Han and Aloy told me not to check your answers after you have attempt the questions on Final Theory Test, because usually the 1st answer that you give should be the more accurate one. Therefore, i heed their advice this time and try to do it just one time without checking again. I had completed all the 50 questions within 15 to 20 minutes, but I just heck care and press the 'End Test' button. The result came out. "Pass." I was happy but not to the extreme type, compared to the 1st attempt if I had pass, I would be even more happy. Just don't know why, perhaps I was tired at that moment. Well, starting practical lesson soon. Wish me good luck =)

Result of Singapore River Regatta 2007 Grand Final

Result of the Singapore River Regatta 2007, Grand Final. Hope that TPDB can achieve something next year.

Happy Deepavali...

This reminds me of a secondary school friend. Her name is Deepali. When ask why or how she got the name, if not wrong, she say she was born 1 day before Deepavali. If I was born 1 day before Hari Raya or Chinese New Year, what will be the best name to be called?

TPDB team A 2007

Like what I said earlier on, life is unexpected.

Unexpected situation started 3 days before regatta, when I was transferred from boat B to boat A, because one of them is sick. Training for this race is quite alright, especially the last week before race. I think it goes the same for most of the team. Using lighter boat this year, so different experience.

Day one of race is the heats of opens and tertiary category. We started our day with the opens heats, and both of our teams managed to get into semi-finals. However, tertiary didn't manage to get in to finals.

Day two of race, team A's semi heats was a very tough one. Nevertheless, we managed to get into the grand finals. Long hours of waiting for the last event, it's the most important race, event 60, the grand final. I believe this event is the most exciting one. Lane 1 NP, Lane 2 RP, Lane 3 NUS, Lane 4 TP, Lane 5 NP alumni, 5 boats were getting ready for this important moment. Slowly, all boats were getting in lane, coxswain holding the rope and rowers staying focus. Drummer were trying to get the boat into the starting line, it was a moment of silence by then. "Are you ready?", shouted the official with his loud hailer. "Attention..", paddles were already up to paddle as hard as possible for the first stroke, heart rate was pounding faster then usual. *air horn*. Race has started, all the boats were trying their best to row and surge the boat as fast as possible to reach for the ending point. The boat pass by one point to another, our mind still focusing what we need to do. Everything was fine and steady, and now towards the ending point, a last charge was given, we row with all our strength, no reserve. The boat cross the ending point, with 4 other boats also crossing the point almost at the same time. It was a close fight. We went back to the pontoon and get back to the shore while waiting anxiously for the results to be announced. Result shows that TP gets 4th. Ya, we didn't win any medal. However, this was one of the best set we row. We have no regrets already. Most of them agree that it was one of out best set, so though it's just within milliseconds away from the medal, we were still feel a sense of achievement at that moment, as getting into grand final in opens category is one of our objective being met. We are not there yet. I believe TP will continue to soar even greater heights in future, same goes with the girls team. We did it before, we know we can do it again.

TP ARE YOU READY?

I had a dream few days ago. How I wish it was a real thing happening to me. When I woke up, I think I still had the smile on my face. But when come to reality, it's not real after all. Well, at least I am happy for that moment. Will dream ever comes true?

Victory dinner at techno? OMG!!! no way man..no matter how much chances are there, still gonna try...try and try..

Fail my FTT at my 1st attempt, i thought I was ready lor....but..haiz..next FTT on 15/11/07, I freaking gonna pass this time.

Next week O level English and Regatta. Lai ahz!!

I am officially graduate from polytechnic on 21st oct 2007. So what's my status now?
Occupation:??

300 seems to be a sensitive number on this day, 21/10.

Happy birthday to Aloysius, Audrey Amelia, Hong Yi, Ying Haw.

Seeing friends, secondary school friends driving, suddenly feel that they have grown up a lot. Perhaps the 'seh' is in them, makes them look very adult. I have been dragging it, now then want to start to chiong. FTT next week, hope to pass it for the 1st attempt so that I can really chiong it before going NS.

After training, went to buy 2 birthday presents for Connie and Siew Hoon respectively. After which, meet up Terence and headed to Pasir Ris costa sand chalet. We went to Siew Hoon's first at about 6.45pm to put down my belongings, awhile later, went to Connie's chalet which is few blocks away. We headed back to the first chalet again, and this time, more people such as Chu Li, Bing Wen arrived. We enjoyed the food and talk about what we have been doing recently. This kind of bring me back to our secondary school memories, when we all first met in Secondary one. Most of us were classmates during Secondary one. Reminiscing what we did last time, it's indeed memorable. Yet today, I am attending 2 of my schoolmates' 21st birthday celebration.

At 8pm, Wilson have reached Connie's chalet. Terence and I thus went over. I had my second round of food there. While waiting for cutting of cakes(which both are cutting at 9pm), we chatted to kill time. At 9pm, after some photo taking and cake cutting session, we had out serving of cake and rush over to Siew Hoon's chalet for her cake cutting session. Luckily we made it in time. After that, headed home with Bing Wen.

Today was a tiring day.

No one is perfect in this world, so what rights do we have to condemn others?

Team chalet on 25/09 was quite a success. It was also mid-autumn festival. No moon cakes and lantern, but there is hard liquor and poker cards accompanying the guys throughout the night. The food from the caterer also not too bad, but the food like not enough. Almost the whole team attended the chalet, kind of a bonding session also. Some can even gamble up to 13 hours! Hope to have such gathering next time.

Attended the NPCC award dinner thing at traders hotel on 28/09, the food was yummy..lol..got shark fins, chicken etc etc. But at the end of the dinner, I think suffered from indigestion.

Attended Terence's 21st birthday chalet, a lot of people, but only some that I know.

Found a driving instructor introduced by Aaron, not sure if he is good, but I will pass FTT before going for practical lessons. FTT on 22/10. Less than 2 weeks' time, please let me pass at my 1st attempt. Next is the 'O' level English examination on 29/10, please let me pass as it is my many attempts already..lol..

Meet up with my poly classmates on Wednesday as Kai Yong is going in on Monday. We had hans for dinner, not too bad la, a bit like home-made type. Had fish n chips, but the soup was damn watery.

By the way, finally received my letter yesterday, but was told to go for another medical checkup. Sian.. go so far somemore 8.30am got to reach. So I still don't know where I will be going. 2 more days Kai Yong, Andy, Sean and Tortai going in...

Tomorrow 2 birthday chalets!!! Both also at Pasir Ris costa sand, but the thing is, both cake cutting time at 9pm!! So what am I suppose to do man?? Somemore 2 presents when I am quite broke now? =x

Rowing left side is a challenge, I shall continue to work hard on it.

Master Series next week, Regatta 23 days more.

Went to visit Wen Bin after one year, wonder how is he now...

"Academic Status: COMPLETED COURSE OF STUDY FOR THE DIPLOMA IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY"

After 3 years plus of education in polytechnic, finally got this status. However, not offically graduate yet. In the end, it still does not meet up the standard I want. =)

More and more people are leaving, hate to hear or see this happening. So, who's next? They came and return their stuffs yesterday, meaning that there is no room for negotiation already.

Sava Sprint 2007, as usual, the strongest overseas team win it all again. They are actually very friendly group of people. Till we meet again.

Went to Terence's birthday chalet on 15/09, his 21st birthday, was expecting a lot of people from BDS, but it turn out that we are actually minority. But still meet us some of my ex-classmate there.

Seeing some of the guys having their POP on last Wednesday already, time flies, 2 months had passed. Some will be going in on 15th Oct, less than 1 month's time. I am anxious!!!

My life now is without any goal...=(

Yesterday transform the 6 meeting rooms into normal rooms back within 8 hours, a bit of sense of achievement. Been scrubbing the metal bins for the previous 2 days, my hands are with the lemon-eze, the skin of my left palm is peeling off . ZZzzz...

Today English 'O' level oral, think gone case again. Picture description and conversation sucks. Tomorrow is weekend and no training!! hoohoo!!

NS letter, please come to my mail box soon ok? I can't wait to see you...

I am really getting sick of working now. Don't feel like going tomorrow. Really feel reluctant. How?

Master Series 3 today, juniors in the heats, not bad man, they make it to the semi-finals. Feel happy for them. But we take over from semi-finals. In semi-finals, meet up strong teams, so position we didn't get very good results, make it to minor finals. In the end, got 1st. Though is minor finals, but the team is really high in morale when the boat cross the finishing line. Laugher and cheering were immediately let out. New timing record has also been clocked. This feeling has been lost for quite some time already. After race, went to Tampines Mall for lunch, including juniors, so the group was quite big, think is like first time so big? After that, gossip session aka chilling session!!! The feeling of achieving something is really great. What we achieve today: Hard cover card holder!! Race so hard just to get a card holder. hahaa...See ya 2 weeks later!~Really enjoyed today.

Last week was a shag week... 1st day, using the name tag 'Flora' for a few hours, hopefully no one has been paying attention to my name tag. I realized around 90% of the people in the department are not local. =X National Day celebration show this year seems to be not as exciting as last time, a bit disappointed. Marina Bay is indeed too small for the NDP. Had Fish n Co on Friday, tried the fish and chips for the 1st time, it's nice!!! But the portion like not enough? It's monday again!! Today is the slackest day because really nothing much to do. 24 hours a day is really not enough.

August babies a lot this month, have been chiong-ing birthday parties for 2 sataurdays, 1 more for this coming sataurday. Master Series this coming Sunday..again..

10-men crew PA race at Singapore River. Not too bad, got a bronze in tertiary events. After that went home. Went out to pasar malam at Bedok interchange before heading to Bedok 85 market for dinner. During dinner talk a lot about unit stuff, hai..nothing to elaborate also. Anyway, 3 more weeks to master series.=)

Suppose to go for the YiLiang prize presentation(don't know what prize) at Raffle Hotel, however, due to unforeseen circumstances, did not go in the end. Anyway, congrats YiLiang!!

Before that, went to temple with Adrian for returning of prayer, then have KFC. It's a sinful meal again. After that, went back school. Didn't see the bus, then not going already, then slack in school. Walk around the school like some sort of freshies, as though first time in school, rather idiotic. The school is a boring place.

Friday went for area 10 ATC 2007. This shall be my last ATC already. First day was the slackest due to delay and cancel of some activities. Sleep for less than 2 hours? Day 2 was the most tiring day, with all the activity cycle, but also the most enjoyable one, because got campfire. Day 3, the mood to go home and have a good rest, and also departing with those fellow area 10 CIs. Whole camp was sleeping less than 5 hours? But it was definitely a fun one. Will miss wearing the maroon area shirt, the campsite, the campfire etc etc...

The PUB rowing show at Marina Bay was fun! Even though the main objective is not met, but we had a great time rowing and having fun. Having to row left again is tiring. The food there is good.

My back is aching!! argH!!!

Rest for sometime after race, looking forward to the next training. Perhaps no one will know how much it hurts without falling. But the problem is, one must know what's the root of the problem and the reason of failure. Hope this failure is not wasted, buck up guys!!

Dinner after race, like not very worth it? I didn't get to try the fried rice at all!! hahaa...and the potato is making me feeling sick.

Bowl on Saturday at textile center, gonna close down soon, but the rate was damn cheap.

I am sick again...

幸福是什么?

Area 10 LMSC 2007 on 20th June to 22nd June, went for it to help out. 3 days of the course, quite enjoyable and also a bonding session. After that, went for the chalet a while at Aloha Changi. as usual, big and nice and deserted.

POL-ITE race 2007 held at Bedok Reservior on last Saturday, 23/06/07. It is an one and only race set among the polytechnics and ITE team. We managed to get 3rd in this race, Congrats!~ And also not forgetting the girls team, who get 1st again in this year's race. Cheers!~

June race in 5 more days. How much difference we can make is up to us. In 5 days' time, it's time to show what we are made of. Keep morale high!!

It's really sucks to do something which you don't feel like doing.

16 June 2007, the expiry date for my 3 years of CIship. I did learnt something from the course throughout these years, but still, I still prefer to be a follower.

Had my fitness test on Thursday, quite okay with the result I guess, but still got 1 fail, which is sit-up. But 47 this number is the most I did so far. hahaa..therefore, i still make impove =). After that, I fall sick again.(Same as last year, also this period sick! Damn!!)

Some sad news also in the team. Hope that those people will get over will it.

5 more days to POL-ITE race, please let me get well soon, and also to those people who are currently sick.

Remember, respect your opponent! We can do it!

Can I have the number of the counsellor which pin on the SAA notice board?

"I am a First-Aider, I can help!".

3 full day of first aid course has ended. Went for this course with Sean and Ze Feng. Have to wake up damn early to attend, feel kind of tired these 3 days. The class comprises of around 20 plus people, with a mixture of secondary school kids and members of public. Curse those kids in the class, was super noisy throughout this course, majority of them are secondary 1 students. Most of the time really feel like using the bandage to stuff it into their mouth.

The course was quite fun, did learn something new. To chiong the whole book in 2 days is like mental training.

Today is the test day. First was the theory paper, followed by practical. A pass is a must in both area, however, after finishing, think that I did a lot of them wrong. While waiting for the theory results, she says there is a bad news!! 2 failure in the class.. I was damn worried at that moment, think the heart rate is go up to 200 beats in a minute lor. But thankfully, I passed! Getting so nervous is actually a very tiring process.

Proceed with the practical test, the examiner is 73 years old, still contributing to the Red Cross. When he stepped in, he was really looking damn fierce, especially when he started to test on those kids, the 3 of us like were already planning of a re-test date already. He doesn't compromise standard. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, we found out that he is actually a very humorous old man who stick on his principle and his stand. He taught us some new things within that 2 hours, which was something not taught previously.

Finally, we passed the test.

Craving for singing session recently, think china man influence me a lot. Went sing on last Friday, with china man and Lynette. Really enjoy listen to her singing.

Hope miracle will happen 3 and 4 weeks later, kind of sad-ed but not yet demoralize. Please produce more motivation source in me.

The feeling of winning is really very good, but is there another chance of experiencing it again?

Sian

Been to Ben You's(celebrate with Kiat Rui) chalet on Friday and Jane's birthday on Saturday. First chalet provides almost unlimited of alcoholic drinks whereas second one provides more on food. Both were quite fun, kind of a small secondary school gathering.

Request for earlier enlistment is not approve. The school cheat my feelings. =( Mostly likely will be in Dec. argh!!!!! There will be 7 months time...

Nowadays a lot of people getting emo, think is the peak emo period.

If you happen to pick up a $2 note, how will you spend it?

Bought a Toto ticket myself few days ago just to try my luck, didn't win any money but 2 and a half of the number come out. Just too bad. Anyway,that's my 1st attempt. Hopefully don't get hooked in gambling in toto or 4D.

Played tennis just now, not too bad la the game, but also a bit sian too. Maybe need more practice?

Hate the school!! Cheat my feelings!! hai..sian..

Give me earlier enlistment can?

"I Can Only Imagine".

Watched spiderman 3 with some 12 of the teammates on Wednesday, almost the last row was occupied by us. We were quite lucky that can still get the tickets 3 hours before the show, and get to choose the last row of seats. Didn't watch part 1 and 2, so kind of a bit no link when watch part 3, but overall, quite nice. After watching, had supper at McDonald. We were still chatting on the show, damn lame, got the china version of spiderman because of bobo, the china man. hahahaa...laugh like hell at mac, shall ask him what his web is made of!! Well, watching which movie next Wednesday?lol..

Yesterday's rowing was bad I guess, having long lecturing session. Hopefully the session will do the team better. Our small group of seniors currently has face different batch of people now, feelings and the motivation is different. Everything is so different, but however, life have to move on. Just kind of miss it what you have lost. As for me, yes indeed I do feel something at the end of the training, my expression can't hide, even though I am trying to. Shall not elaborate much on it because I do not want to affect the others.

How much time does a horse spend sleeping at night?
Horses typically spend anywhere from 4 to 15 hours a day in standing rest, and anywhere from minutes to several hours lying down. Only part of that time is actual sleep time, which is taken in brief naps that last a few minutes each. The daily total sleep time for an adult horse may range from a few minutes to a couple of hours. Foals and young horses, like other youngsters, sleep more, more deeply, and more often than adults.

First day of school today, went to school even though no lesson for me. Meet zf and mingmar to try their graduation attire, but not yet me. Mingmar may be going back soon, depends on the situation, but will definitely miss him if is going back. Had lunch at Flavours canteen, miss the food and dessert there. Today is not enough, shall continue another day. Went library a while after that, saw a lot of people at level 3 slacking, think should be those year 1s in majority.

Temasek Regatta 2007 ended with great success. Everything goes on smoothly and it was a great and tiring day for us. Gathered at sport complex at 7am, get changed into the the tee-shirt and go directly to the reservoir. Once again, being allocated the role of drummer, quite fun. Seeing those secondary school kids rowing their best to achieve victory,especially those inexperience one, it really reveals the importance of team work in the boat. One of the race is the school of IT(guys) which I was drumming for them. They were really very motivating group of people who enjoy cheering for themselves. Kind of like their cheer actually. In the end, not too sure of their placing in that race, think should be either 2nd or 3rd, which makes me feel that school of IT is not actually moulding a bunch of board and dull people. 3 cheers to school of IT =).

After that, take part in the alumni race. Hahaha..got 1st. Will it be stated in the student transcript?hahaha...

After that, ended it with everything wrap up and the debrief, followed by the dinner provided. Hope that such event or more upcoming can provide more bondings for the team.

Training today makes me feel a sense of satisfaction after so long. Perhaps long time didn't row what we did today, after completing it, like that feeling. The motivation among the team is good, hope to have this feeling again in future. 5 weeks to race, I believe the team can do it!~

Today Friday the 13, just got to be more careful.

Went bowling with some of the guys after training on Wed and Thurs.. Wed went to marina square there to bowl, reach there around 6 plus, but after 6pm is of higher rate. Didn't really play bowling for quite some time, feeling kind of shiok playing it again...

I think that some arrogant and egoist bastard should really shut up and stuff that bowling ball into his mouth, and not to say something like "I will win you" this kind of thing to almost everyone. This will only make others more dislike you even more. Hopefully now that he has a lot more time to think, think it over again and be more humble. Even if he really has what it takes, just shut the freaking mouth, worse of all, he really don't have what it takes, not even one pathetic game. (think the guys will know who this egoist bastard is, not worth it to mention in this blog to pollute it!).

Yesterday went to Katong to bowl, damn unlucky!! Went there to find out that it was close down. After that, we headed to textile center at Lavender there. We bowled for 4 games, Shi Han aka Hazel(initially was Mary) says not enough, shall bowl again one day.

Do you think life is fair?

Feeling sick and headache...damn it..

Looking forward to the dinner with my classmate later, got to catch up with them, long time no see. Looking forward to Friday's dinner too. Lot's of dinner recently, meaning no more $$...sad-ed.. Means will have to look for money soon. From where? One-Stop Center again?Happy belated birthday to Xiang Lin, who was munching medicine on his birthday, hope he will get well soon.

My head going to explode soon..

Good Friday today, my Friday seems a bit boring and spend aimlessly. The weather sucks, going on , off and on. Last rowing session, the weather is already like that, very hot, then a bit of rain with dark clouds, then hot again and dark clouds again, what is wrong with the weather man? I think it is also the reason for people falling sick.

Master Series 1 is over, there is room for improvement for the team. After that, chalet at downtown east, organised by Desmond, Raymond and me. Somehow is rather successful I would say for the number of people who turn up. Though the time is short, but is rather fun.

TAIN exams the following after chalet, a bit tired but the question did come out on what I had studied for. To pass shouldn't be a problem. Emailed the teacher yesterday, he say result will not be released till principal's approval, and MAYBE will be around late April or early May, WTF??!!

Happy birthday to Desmond, Raymond and XiangLin whose birthday falls on the same week in the team, and also to all the April kids=)

Thanks for all the greetings and wishes, people!!

People getting sick nowadays, throat getting dry now...

Last week's AGM was a great one, firstly get our nice new polo tee, then watch the powerpoint slides and tributes, followed by dinner and presentation. But too bad can't join them for the gathering after the AGM. Last Friday was really a busy day for me, everything was so rush.

Congrats to Irvin, Alvin and ah boon... and also Audery, lynette and sze hui.

Now mugging alone for the coming and the only paper on monday, master series on sunday, guys, really got to do your best man!~

TAIN (Technology and Innovation) is actually a nice subject, kind of easy to pass i guess, or like what the teacher says. My group members says I am always putting on the black thinking hat during project discussion, hahaa..I would say YOU GUYS ARE LUCKY OKAY? lol...

Well, enlistment date may delay, so sian...who knows there will be another river regatta for me?hahaha...

Good luck for those having supp papers!~

Not sure why my blog got something wrong with it, will be force to close it, is it because of the blogskin?

Assignment period again, but shouldn't be a problem. Time frame is fast, got to complete assignment by this week.

IT fair this year, been there twice already. Bought some items such as thumbdrive, harddisk etc. Someone asked me what is the different between flash drive and thumb drive. Here's the answer:

Flash drives and thumb drives have many similar qualities, but there are a few differences.

A flash drive is a compact USB memory drive that acts a lot like a portable hard drive. You can store data on it, as well as, transfer it from computer to computer. They are able to hold a great deal of information, but they do come in different storage sizes. The greatest amount that is available today is 2 GB. These types of drives have easily taken over floppy disks, because floppies can only hold 1.44 MB. That's quite a difference!

Beside being able to hold mass amounts of data, flash drives are as small as a pack of gum and they can easily fit into your pocket for easy transportation. They are also more convenient to use than an external hard drive, because of their small size. Nobody wants to drag a hard drive around everywhere they go!

Like I said before, a thumb drive is very similar in the amounts of data it can hold and its size. Thumb drives are like digital lock boxes. They come with a write protection feature. This is just a switch located at the bottom of the drive that when it is unlocked, you are able to write data to the thumb drive, but when it is locked, you can only read data from the drive. This feature helps with accidental deletion of some of your files.

Other than that, flash drives and thumb drives both work to store your personal data, whether that be documents, pictures, music, etc. All you have to do is drag and drop the files you want onto the drive and then you can edit them just like you would anything else. You can also transport the information between different computers very easily. So, if you want to show that awesome picture to your mom or share that new song with your friend, you can do that with either one of these USB drives.

Flash drives and thumb drives both usually work on Windows 98 and SE, ME, 2000, XP and on Mac OS 8.6, 9.0 and higher as long as you have USB functions on your computer. They even work on some Linux programs. All of these capabilities depend on your system. The cost of both of these devices vary greatly depending on the manufacturer and the size of storage you get.

Basically, the main advantages of these drives is that they hold more data and they're easier to carry around. They're more practical than a floppy disk, a CD or an external hard drive. So, if you often find yourself wanting to share information on different computers and you want a secure way to save your data, a flash or thumb drive will be perfect for you.

hahaha...4 more days to assignment due.

aarrrgghh!! sian..now alone in school library level 3 using computer. Feeling boring, don't know what to do. All the best having their paper now.

Day 2 of lesson today, so far the lesson have been quite interesting, I will continue and try to pay attention in class. So far 2 days of lesson also late, hahaaa...sorry teacher, I will try not to be late the next time. Intensive lesson, 1 day = 4 days i guess, because all squeeze into 1 mth rather than the normal 4 mths. Still gonna think of a product to enhance, my group think of tablet computer, what do the rest think? hahaa..

Feeling rather restless now, typing this post, hearing some laughter some computers away, watching something funny show from the computer, feel like slapping them, laughing so loud.hahaha...think should head home and have a nice afternoon nap now...=)

Don't know what is wrong is the date setting, now is 26/02/2007, 14:53...

End my SIP around 2 weeks ago... the feeling is great, no more formal wear and travel to novena, no more office hour etc. To those who is still having their SIP, all the way!! it's ending sooN!! Last day of SIP was rather slack, some of us were taking pics, then the rest of the time was walking around to wait for the time to pass. In the morning, there is this division presentation which we were suppose to attend, but who cares man, just went there for free food. My last lunch break, went for lunch at 12pm, go orchard meet my classmate for lunch and went back at 2pm, longest break ever. 3pm interns debriefing, wrote some comment such as the security's attutite, think he got serious attitude problem. I chat with my supervisor, though it was less then 30 mins of chatting sesison, but is the longest period of time which I chat with her. Well, just wish her all the best, and also my supervisor's boss. Don't think will be travelling to novena soon, get rather tired of this place.

Happy Chinese New Year to all chinese!!! Today is the 4th day of CNY, hope that everyone is still fine after eating all heaty bak gwa, pineapple tarts, cakes, sweets, sweety drinks etc (Yummy yummy)!!! hahaa..only 4th day, and now i am having fever. think majority of the new year stuff is eaten by me, not the guest. sick on CNY, sucks man!!

Vocation term elective is approved, meaning no 4.1 for me.(Faster come congrats me!!). The elective is an IT sch elective, starting this fri, today is wed, and I don't know the freaking time table yet, so they expect us to stand by on fri from 7am to 9pm? system sucks to the core...always so last minute. It is gonna be intensive, how intensive is it? Graduation ceremony in next year? sad is the word..

Good luck for all those having exams...

Jan Time Sheet

It ending soon.. Have been counting down everyday, 1 more week left. How i wish the building suddenly caught fire, renovation for 1 week. Well, on that day of grading by my supervisor on Wednesday, i was thinking how is she going to grade me? she doesn't assign me much work, don't know how good or bad my performance is, don't know much about me, how to grade? Well, must be quite hard on her to actually have to grade me within 15 to 20 minutes time, as she got the form 20 minutes before my LO came. Looking at the situation like this, don't think she will give me better grades, then a 'pass' will do la. Feel like learning so little through this attachment, life's so unfair..

For some of my friends out there graduating, what you gonna do after that?work?slack? Have been wanting to travel to somewhere, but no money to do so...sad!

Receive a purple letter, ask me for vocation assessment, hahaha..just hope everything goes on fine. Coming holidays, still not sure how to fully utilize it.

CNY coming, yet to get new clothes.

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, where are you? Please look for me during this CNY ok?

argh!!! 1 more week!!

Lunch time seems to be more enjoyable nowadays. Tuesday went for lunch with Lindy, had a quick lunch at level 2 cafeteria, then take train to orchard to walk walk. Not much crowd at that time, feeling so different. Today went to Raffles place to lunch with ky, kt, jon and vivian.Food over there is definitely better in novena, much more variety and better price. Using tissue paper to book places are often seen there, but rarely seen in other areas. The whole area are filled with formal wear people, all seems to be rushing for time, depicting the meaning of 'time is money'.There are also some seating on the stone bench reading TODAY, youngsters promoting their services and products with noticable outfit. Really like the environment there, but just too bad, I am not fated to work there.

Chinese New Year is coming, got to start hunting for items before doing last minute shopping. So much things to buy, yet money is never enough to satisfy one's need. That's life! So that people will strive hard for it.

Resolution for this year?Still there is lots of uncertainty, need to take some time and think. But so far, beginning of this year already fall sick, hopefully things will get better.

Hate taking train during peak hour, because you will end up like sardin in the can.Recently have been quite late for work, hopefully next week onwards, will be able to be earlier.

3 more weeks, looking forward to this break, because a lot of things yet to be done.By the way, time sheet for Jan is half way through!! Welcome back to those people who had their attachment overseas. NAPFA is coming, got to train. Feel so tired of it...hahaha. Some people are falling sick recently, get well soon... 2 questions to think, don't forget!!

Went back to training yesterday after few weeks, muscles are aching now...

The vacation term elective till now is still under pending approval, why do they need such a long time to decide whether to approve or not? If it's only 8 people in a class, so what? 500 plus for a subject, not worth it man, but what to do?

To think that the task seems impossible, but if you don't try, you may regret it. What can I do man? Got any advisor to help solve this problem?

Now it's year 2007, new year, new resolution!! Too much to mention...

Summary of Year 2006:
It has been a frutiful year, been to 2 overseas races before, both also a great one, or rather, great two. Also we have the POL-ITE race, July race and Regatta race, all at least we do obtain something. Seeing the yr 1s from 100 over people, now only to the selected people, following the footprints which we left it last yr, starting to think that we time is fast. Of course, happy moments is best kept in our heart, and also there were sad moment such as attending friend's funeral. Other than that, going through attachment is also a great experience for me to have a taste of how's the office lifestyle is like. The year has ended, what's done cannot be undone, just hope that in this new year, everything will still be fine, world peace=).

Now in year 2007, the year end sales has been very tempting. Bought some items, now quite broke.20 plus more working days left...
