Left with facilities management at 1430
and MICE at 1900


Exhausted after 6 hours of continuous study of facilities management. Before taking examinations, I dread to study and wished they could be over as soon as possible. When exams were over and I had tons of holiday time to spend and then I wished I can get back to school soon again. But School is going to disappear soon. 1 more year and im out of school. So without a school, where can i belong to? Glitter is there only when the sun shines.

Lodging and accounting exams are over.


There's Food and beverage on Wednesday.


And MICE and Facilities management on Thursday.


Examinations end at 9pm.


Accounting was fairly easy though i thought i could score full marks if not 98, but i had made careless mistakes so maybe 85 or something. Lodging is a very hard paper, but think there'll be moderation.

Something went bigly wrong when i was doing the accounting paper. The air con was very very very cold and i had only wore shorts and a very fine tshirt. I requested the uncle(invigilator) to increase the temperature before the exams however he refused. Citing the reason that i'm such a strong guy and yet i'm feeling cold and I told him that fats were absent from my body. (From the fact that i had biology background, ha, Fats are insulators of Heat) So the paper started and I felt heavy bouts of stomach aches and cramps but had continued to finish the paper. After 3/4 of the exam time past, "Run to the toilet" was the image in my mind. No longer able to tolerate the pain. I handed up the paper to the uncle. Uncle told me, "you never write your name." If it wasnt for him, i wouldve gotten a zero. Btw, im still having the intense stomachache. Stuffing my stuff franctically into my bag, i headed to the nearest gents and it had a OOO - Out of order sign outside, but i continued and went in. The cleaning auntie inside then grumble grumble grumble, "so many toilet why come this one" . OKAY FINE, then i went off, running to the next gents. I was running in a half bent manner cos my stomach was really hurting and someone spoted me running in that unsightly manner and kept making fun of me.


Lastly in the festive mood of giving well wishes to whoever wherever now and then:
Happy Examinations to all HTM students.

The pig year is here. And I was thinking that for the next pig year to come, I would be 30 years old. So so Diao. Ill be like very old and Jiamin will be even older. Wonder if she will look more like IreneAng. I dont see her in Culi classes anymore, so i'll not get pinched or screamed at. Just hope that we'll not be in the same class for next year. Ha.



I went back to Montfort the other day. I reached at 1o and the security stopped us from entering. They say that OLD boys have to wait until 11 when the CNY concert finishes then we are allowed to step into the school. They gave us 2 options to choose, 1 is to sit down on the floor near the security post and wait like quarantined victims, 2ndly is to do some CNY shopping at the neighbourhood stalls and kopitiams opposite our school. We choose the 2nd option. But not wanting to be squeezing with aunties and appearing "Unhip", we went to Macdonalds to have breakfast though I had already taken. I had pancakes with sausage, hashbrown and milk. The pancakes were very nice cos it was like soaked in the maple or honey syrup.



We went back and then talked to the teachers. Favourite teacher, clare choy was surprisingly still there cos she said in like 3 years ago that she will be retiring when she saves $100,000. Think she had already tens of thousands at that time. And to check with her this time, she said she had 80k le. So maybe ill only have 3 more years of teachers day to visit her. She then talked to us and we started the usual teacher-student game called "Guess the students names". And then she started calling out names (but never call my name at all), all was right except one, think liyao will be damn sad. I asked her why she didnt call my name at all. And she replied: Need to say de meh, Johnathan lar, how will i forget lor. (Im like so special) For your information, Clare is a very cool teacher. The way she talks and stand are so her. And remember the times when Eugene and I were like always trying to imitate her. She was like so so fierce but we were like so so not afraid of her and always joked around. Eg, when shes like using the visualiser, she accidentally or purposely showed her diamond ring and it flashed on the screen. We were like, whoah. Miss choy you buy Ring for yourself ar, later not enough to retire lor. Last thing bout her, she highlighted her hair with green, blue and purple before, then we asked her why she can highlight lor. Then she replied, cos I will not be a role model in the school, boys will have to look up to a male teacher and not me. Diao"."



Being back at the school brings back so much memories. Secondary school life is the best, i think. When we were there, we were the 04 graduates which is like the senior of the people going back to school to visit teachers. So damn old lo. Jm - OLD.

I bought the very normal bling bling dog tag from 77th street and someone told me :"eh, very samuel seah leh" But I still bought it. And Aunties all say that the necklace look like girl one. These Aunties include my mom and my beloved aunt Liancy. I'll try not to ask Aunties for their opinions in future. Bleah lo.






And heres continuation of my Room Obsession. A picture of my very messy messy room. Untidyed and super messy condition. Very candid! I'll tidy them after the CNY visit to Montfort school tmr. Any volunteers to help me with it?







Chinese New Year is coming. Heres another picture of a corner of my house. Very reddish and CNY feel. This new year's eve, i'll be having reunion dinner out of house for the 1st time at a buffet restaurant. And on the 2nd day, i'll be having steamboat. And there are like so many New year cookies and cakes waiting for me. Im going to be fatter. Happy CNY!






And i just took a nicer Self Pic yesterday at Robinson's centre point's changing room. And maybe i'll be wearing specs on CNY to cover the google marks that i had just gotten from this mornings swim. 40laps again. Hope i can fit nicely into all my clothes.

And one last thing, ive changed the song of blog. I particularly liked the first line:

这一次是我自己为自己下的决定

In life, everything is about yourself.

Wednesday is the last day of school at Sentosa for me.

I will miss
TAS Library
RITS
VivoCity
Sentosa Express
Food Republic
Candy Empire

And all the good friends that have been with me at Sentosa for the past year.

We are going to change class soon.
A change may not be a bad thing either.
Just let things flow.

The feeling of going back to Temasek Poly is like Im returning back to school.

People normally do not cherish the present.
They will look at the past.
And hence there is something called memories.

Me and my team cooked French Onion Soup. And one thing I found out about chefs is that they do not know their sciences even though they are teaching us the subject culinary SCIENCE. Simple stuff such as density, they dont know.

Here's an example:

We requested for 13litres of chicken stock and the chef gave us one pot of chicken stock. And then, we felt weird cos it looks little to us. Then we went to measure the volume of the pot of stock and it turned out to be 8 litres only. I went to the chef and asked for our remaining 5 litres of stock. The Chef showed a "a bit arrogant" face or rather kuku i would call it and asked me if the chicken stock is enough?


And i said: " Chef, we ordered 13 litres of stock and you gave us only 8 litres"
Chef said: " Cos chicken stock got fats, so it is heavier thats why 13 kg = 8 litres only"

BUT we requested in litres lor, not in Kilograms. Your reply merely showed that you do not know the term "density" -______-

Actually I do not hate chefs that much but except for this chef that i mentioned. Hes (big hint to who the chef is le to TAS students) so so biased against guys. In like 30 minutes, he can call "Johnathan" like 5 times to do stuff and such and for the other girls he just smile smile and flirt with them lo. Nevermind, its over already and ill wish you chefs to have a good time ahead.




Heres some pictures of the French Onion Soup

My Jap role play had just got over. And I thought it was quite well done. Cos most of them enjoyed the play and I can hear laughters when I said Aishitemase (I love you). And roaring laughters followed when I get to the one bended knee position and said Kekkonshite Kudasai (Will you marry me) Im like the star! and Loud applause followed. Whee! And next week theres no school on Friday. HAHaha!

And I had sushi from marketplace this afternoon and a sushi buffet for dinner. So its kinda a Jap day for me. One thing to complain about marketplace. I bought a $6 sushi set from them and they told me that there will be no chopsticks provided. If you want, please purchase them at 10cents a pair. Diao lor. The Sakae Sushi buffet was rather nice and we had eaten until our stomachs are like bloated which means like I have a Beer Belly for like 1 hour.

Then, I went Far East to shop again. But still empty handed again. I want to buy accessories like bling bling necklaces, a unique bag not like zinc or crumpler brands, a belt, a pair of suade shoes and I think thats all. And I just realised that RiverIsland is a very nice retail shop but the problem is that, they are pricey.

Im saying that guys can also have mood swings. Maybe im the more severe case only.



Had lunch at our school's restaurant and I had



Caesar Salad

Pan Fried Dory Fish

Vanilla Panna Cotta



Went swimming after school and I intended to swim 40 laps.



But while swimming, I've forgotten how many laps I have swam. Its either 18 or 28. So I assume its 18. So today ive either swam 40 or 50 laps.



Hajimehmashite
Watashi Wa L desu




Jap Role play is on this coming Friday and ive to make a BIG BIG sacrifice that is, to go on one bended knee and propose to someone and to be rejected.

I'll be having a opera test soon. Real soon. In like 20 minutes time. And it has a weightage of 25%. Hope that at least i'll be able to pass.

On Monday, I mean yesterday, I went shopping at Far East. Its still a rather run down place but I just discovered that they do really offer lotsa stuff there. Ya, and i was like a bit insulted by my friends on my fashion taste. I feel like im a fashion idoit when i do shopping with them. But in fact im not lor. Reached there bout 3pm and as usual waited for the late comer. for like 5 minutes. And we went to have late lunch at a kopitiam at the top most level. I had Vegetable soup. And it was quite tasty. Then proceeded to shopping. I saw a leather bag which was so big and so beautiful. Too bad it was 300 over dollars. Then, i saw another bag. A 60 dollar bag. But some ppl say its ugly and therefore I didnt buy it.

After shopping, we went to Sakae sushi. I finally get to eat salmon sashimi and its like so nice. And then we went to chill at TCC. Had BANANA SMOOTHIE. and bb. lo.



10 minutes had just past and i'll continue on Tuesday which is like the things that happened just now.

Reached school early today and my mood was pretty fine. I just realise I have frequent mood swings so please tolerate la. In fact I realised long ago but I didnt admit. So ya. And I went for tutorial for accounts. This is the 1st account topic that im so blur about. Dont really understand the topic well but at least im able to do the class work given and leave class early. Went for lunch at Koufu and i had ban mian which is the first time im having that in Sentosa. Its the cheapest food item found there, priced at 3.05 dollars. And it was pretty not bad. Then, back to school and had MICE tutorial. And the teacher gave feedback on our 2nd project.

He say for our class: 2 groups improved grade, 2 remained and 2 deproved as compared to project 1. And no one in our class failed. So our group will either improve or remain cos we got a D for project 1. Ha. Get it???

Then we had OPERA test. Its a test using the computer. I think im going to get 60% of the marks only. But nvm, its over. The test was like suppose to last only 1 hour. But there was a glitch and hence it lasted 2 and a half hour. So diao~~

Then I went home and had dinner and now, here I am. Blogging. Bleah.

Ive bought the paints for my room and it cost me 30 bucks which is equal to a night of work at King's Copthorne Hotel. The 2 colours for my room are Maldives Sand and Moon. They are earthy colours. I'll be painting tmr and complete it by tmr. So, i'll have a room with a new feel before Chinese New Year. I'm tired, I'll continue tomorrow.

Strawberries and Cream Dreams for all of you. Nite.
