The Ending Weeks of 2007

I must say that this year did pass fast. 5 months in Australia, holidays, back to school. Week after week they pass. I'm overall very happy with the 2 weeks break that I had. I met up with my secondary school friends at a barbecue party over at Jefferson's. I said I'll cook an egg dish for the event and I did! Not wanting the fried egg to be typical, I tried making Tamago. I read a book on how they cooked it. It requires folding of the egg to create layers.

I made it with 10 eggs, soy sauce, sugar and water. It turned out good from the way I look at it!

Looks like a normal fried egg yea? But no!

It was 4cm thick. Yay! Successfully learned a new way of cooking eggs! Hehe.

Yup, the rest of holidays were spent in corp, doing carolling on Christmas eve, practices, shopping, eating and talking with friends. Enjoyed it a lot. You are appreciated. :)

Christmas Partaye!

The Christmas party was fantastic! I really enjoyed myself and had a good laugh. Chris doing the exaggerated actions of the song "Catch a Falling Star" was hilarious. Food was good too though I did not eat much because I felt full after eating my first plate. Dang. Stomach is smaller. Yay. Singing carols was fun too when everyone there were singing happily.

Playing in the band was also a enriching experience. It was a stressful journey but we pulled through and landed with smiles on our faces at the end of the day. Patience with each other and supporting one another is important.



Thank God for everything and all He has done. :)

It's Time for Me To Protect Your Buttocks!

Sigh. I am enlisting on the 14th of March. Since my vacation starts on the 25th of February, that gives me slightly more than 2 weeks of enjoyment! :(

But, I've already made the choice to do the PTP (Physical Training Phase) for army. So I shall use that 4 weeks of training well to become fitter and healthier. Doubt anyone will hire me for a month anyway.

I was out having a barbecue on Saturday when my mother messaged me saying, "Aaron, you are going into the army on March 14 man." I was surprised it was so soon. I thought I would be going in around April or May. Oh well, when you got to go, you got to go. I hope to be the man in the center of this picture. Those who know, good for you! For those who don't, go watch the 10 part show!

"Are you sure it's safe to take a picture in the battle zone?"

Turbo Lag

Sorry dear readers!

It's hard! I'm trying to think of something interesting to write about. Well, since I'm on the net looking and reading up on cars, I want to share this (some might call it silly) idea that I came up with.

Many times, I have things to share but I cannot put them in words. Yea, so this idea is rather messy. I hope you won't get lost! There might be a lot of grey areas too.

Let's go. Say for instance you have two cars. You can afford both. One has a 4 litre engine while the other is a 1 litre engine. Both same fuel tanks. You drive them economically. For which car do you have to pay more for petrol? I hope many will agree it's the 4 litre engine. So if you have to pay $120 on petrol for a full tank for the 4 litre in a week, and only pay $40 for a full tank in the 1 litre in a week, you save $80 on fuel!

So the conclusion is, you can actually use that $80 to have more fun driving the 1 litre car. You can rev higher, have the feeling of racing, sound powerful, don't feel so guilty on wasting fuel but in fact you should because we should conserve energy! You will visit the petrol kiosk more often that's all. You still pay the same as the 4 litre car that drives economically.

Does it make sense? Haha. Well, that's about all to my silly idea.

Let me add a photo to make this post a little more "attracting". I think this car is nice. It's the BMW 8 series.


I think this car was featured in The Italian Job at the scene where the leading actress meets the gang. Handsome Rob exits from this car I think. The detail that caught me in the movie was the 2 small squarish grills.

Smooth Criminal

This sweet, white flesh goodie should be behind bars.


Skin smoother than a baby's.

It might be too exaggerated but when I tried it last night, it was fantastic. It gave me a very happy eating experience. No complains about it. It was not over sweetened. I really liked the texture. It did not break easily and when you put it in your mouth, it seems to slide everywhere.

Some beancurds have rough surfaces and I find it "alright lah" though smoother ones are the best. Sometimes, you get a "powdery feeling". I wonder if there is a difference in the texture between a cold and a hot bowl of beancurd. I need to conduct tests one day. Haha.

Anyway, this stall is in a coffeeshop in Choa Chu Kang. Block 302 just beside Choa Chu Kang Bus Interchange. Rochor beancurd is also good! Lastly, I apologise for the poor picture quality. Happy reading! :)

My first week of school!

Sorry for the dragged post. Haven't had proper time to think of what to write down. I'd like to share about the above title!

So far, all my lecturers are really fun except for that one particular one whom I wrote about in one of the previous posts. They are all so friendly. There is one lecturer teaches with a smile on his face. Maybe he is not smiling but his normal face shows a smile. I don't know. I'm having a lot of fun in applied thermodynamics because it involves engines! Something that I have been reading up a lot on. I'm going to have a lot of fun in school. :)

This question have been asked a few times among my friends and it is,
"How do you differentiate a year 3 from a year 1?".

And I have answers like,

- See their laptops. If it's vista, a year one. If you see fujitsu, year 1, acer with inbuilt camera with vista, year1, acer with inbuilt camera but with xp, year 2.

- See the dressing.

- For lunch, year 1s go in big groups while year 3s go in groups of 3 or 4.


Anyone has anymore to add? Haha.

Right or Left Brain?

I stumbled upon something very interesting. My brother's friend were talking about it and I asked what's it about. They brought me to the link and I tried it.



Do you see the dancer turning anti-clockwise or clockwise?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it."

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The above chunk was just copied. The first impression and answer you give is the most accurate answer. You do not have time to think of the other way. I saw the dancer turning clockwise but according to the information, I'm a right brainer which is rather interesting. I find myself to be more on the left side. Oooh... So coool.. It's like knowing your secret powers! Ya right. Have fun people!

School is starting!

In just 11 days, my holidays will come to an end and my final leg of the race will start. Back to being a mugger. I will be in a whole new class with those students that went for attachment in their first semester like me. Timetable looks pretty good. All new lecturers. Tutors the same except for one man. Shall not say his name but he is definitely the most unhelpful lecturer/tutor I have ever met. Why?

During my 4th semester, he was the teacher in charge of my practical class. During the experiments, instead of looking around and supervising us, he went to the back of the class to read his newspaper. I caught him doing so because I wanted to ask a question. We complained to another lecturer about his behavior and in the next class, he did better. And his attitude while explaining the answer to us is really bad. I better go find another guy who teaches the same module to help me. :S

My friend told me there is going to be one big project. Better put in effort daily so it won't be a problem towards the end! Anyone wants to study with me? :D

My 6 Days of Work

I took on a job to help Kat's father with the deliveries. Job scope involved loading/unloading of goods, being a navigator and speaking to clients with regards to their goods. I must say it is a labour intensive job. Everytime I go home, I feel clean because I perspired a lot.

The goods can be heavy. The weight of a carton of umbrellas is astronomical! Sometimes the goods are light but they are bulky. I am very surprised that everything going out for a delivery can fit so nicely into the van. Uncle Alan has superb judging skills!

I've also been to places I have never set foot in before. The addresses were so foreign to me. Where is Teck Whye Lane? Ceylon Road? Ghim Moh Road? Even for the places which I've heard before like Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Batok, they have not been explored for almost my entire life! So I did manage to learn a bit more about Singapore.

Food! Prices are about near my school's. I always eat from the same rice and dishes stall because the variety is good and the taste is yummy too. Accompanied with that is a cup of iced coffee to keep me awake!

Lastly,

Me! Me! Me! Pick me!!!
