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!!
