Moonlight Days

Well, that being it. I'm tired, worn out, and really exhausted. Shan't elaborate them again.

Anyway, happy 91st birthday Grandpa! A lovely moment.

We had great food and lotsa fun. Once a year and never enough. It's just, erm, a tradition since young that every 3rd day of Chinese New Year we'd gather. Joy and laughter. I wonder how much longer will we behold the sight of warmth and love; and how much longer will the tribute come rule the day. I cherished. Rather, we all did.

And for the first time in my life, I actually kneaded and baked my own breads! 1kg of flour makes a tray of beautiful buns - some tiny, some sexy - all from my instinctive fingers and palms. Baileys' cream and orange dough, a combination of nature and the exotic. Some sexy ones were topped with chocolate chips, while others were almond bits. The smell was incredible. Sis got awoken but smiled instead - 3am.

Sexy Baby produced!!

Perhaps, it was a fun task to begin with - amid the tiredness and my body tolerance. I swear I won't stretch it any further because I know, its been over stretched, if not fully utilised.

Finally, a stronger hint of light appears! Today is the last presentation for the module, and all the efforts should be able to pay. 86-page report is now handed in, what a relief! But still, permanent damage may be something. A huge, huge issue.

Much to the left. I felt.

Multimedia Production

This is a group project done last semester for the Global Supply Chain Management module. The aim was to attract more Year 1 students to select the growing industry as their first choice of specialisation towards their second year of study. This video is entirely shot and produced by our team of business students who have little or no background in media studies. Yet, we surprised the faint-hearted (haha!). The majority of the clips were filmed by me, hovering around the island for sceneries. Later, the production of the film was made by a team mate on her Macbook. Our highest pride, without much of the knowledge.

Your appreciation, appreciated.

Happy CNY!

Happy Lunar New Year!!

& Happy Birthday Gary!

It's chinese new year, again. Time really flies when things are in line. I thought we've just celebrated the new year 2009, and now we have come to the end of its first month. In just a few weeks, I'll be sitting for the exam and graduation comes.

It's just a feeling so nasty. One or none may know what I'm refering to. And it has long expired, yet still there - A huge chapter of my life. Probably never to be forgotten.

And now, health is at stake... I would say.

Smooth canyon a sight of lie

Snowman breaks if wartime comes

Miseries gloomed the mystical sky

Many faces but a wonderful smile.

Light In Tunnel

Amid all these woes, at last I see some light. Though not as bright.

Now I can safely reaffirm the thought that hard work really pays. It's a 15% assessment of the module and I'm so glad to receive this paper with a round of applause in my soul. That's a great push, some miles forward until I see that damn interesting project with a group of shitty team mates who almost never participates. Their work attitude sucks big time. Shan't reiterate and elaborate. It reminds me of shit. Perhaps even shit scores better aesthetically and bearing in mind that at least these coloured matters are out from my very own oven. How fowl can it smell. But anyway, semester is ending soon, in about 4 weeks' time to exam. That will signify the end of my diploma journey. It may appear to have a hint of relieve, however, what if...

It's an uphill task... perhaps it's just the beginning of the roller coaster ride. And will it return to the dock again after the twists and turns? It turns you upside-down, makes you feel like vomiting, and all it could do is to bring you back to the original place? Gladly I say, perhaps, life is very different from the roller coasters. These machines, are, erm, machines. After the first ride, I got the great feeling and went on to the second ride. It's not just about starting and ending. It's the process which I enjoyed. Just like that interestingly stupid project, I hated it at first when the team mates' names are announced to me. The all-time 'favourites' among other classmates, or the whole school of business management i guess so. But slowly, really interestingly, I get to see the other side of the 'world'; how some shit manages to enter a diploma level and still go through a sloppy and sedentary lifestyle.

I'm not here to boast, but I'm once again happy to receive an SMS that says that 'hey zhenyu, you scored 25/30 for your business finance paper. Cheers!'. Wahaha. Things are starting to pay off...

But a standalone misfortune struck almost simultaneously and instantly. CMPB requests me for another session of checkup because of adnormal heart rate, being too fast, and a little irregular. What's wrong? I'm not at all worried, however. Cos' all I could do now is only to find a way out. Hmm, gotta watch my diet from now on. Only brisk walking, in replacement of jogging. But for now, the diet must be looked into more thoroughly, especially during the CNY period. Oh ya, Happy New Year!

Anyway, CNY is no longer a festive season or a tradition for me. I have to finish up projects and their parts and get ready for exams due real soon. Looks like only the angpaos will cheer me on...

Was just wondering, how much longer can an exhausted train travel after a long, long journey? Especially when it never have reached its desired station? Hey, did I just asked a good question? Haha!

January Woes

I'm super stressed!!

3 presentations in a week, plus a 60-page comprehensive report to be handed up in two weeks time, 2 site visits in a week and having to wake up in the morning and know that there are tonnes of email waiting for me to read, i'm devastated.

And the worms in the groups are getting on my sense of humour. Initially getting on my nerves, now I really find them extremely hilarious with so many kinds of excuses for late responses, sometimes even nothing produced at all. An excuse can also have many different versions.

I'm seriously lacked of sleep. Sleep deprivation. I had always hope for the best to just type "how to sleep well' in Google and think everything will be fine. That's fine. Sometimes I even flip through the '10-tips to better sleep' book which was already read numerous times, thinking my body will get the rest. Hmm.. Say I'm haywired, i'm not. Yet sometimes I am.

But it's also super satisfying =)

Shu Qin, Sylvia and myself have been working hard for AHCB, it's a project finally with some light. We met the new principal today, and we shared on many issues. Though he do not allow a standalone concert, Ms Kwek does! Needa thank her so much!

Anyway, we'll become super busy for the concert. Sort of a musical, but a rather stripped-down version, with lesser plannings required. I'm also super happy to have a new team of committed members to hold on to my baton! Simply love them!! Keep up the attitude man!!

Just went to Jurong Point. Met Mark for dinner and he gave us a treat at Fish & Co. Talk about many biz opportunities and valuable information. Thanks!

I am at a completely mixed feeling now. How I wish I have a Delete button on my head and once pressed, no longer will there be silly thoughts!! Haha!

Zhenyu, you gonna make it!

Happy New Year 2009!

First of all,

Happy New Year 2009!

It was a wonderful 2008 with many interesting things that happened. From the Industrial Placement Project in the beginning, and the AHCB Pot Luck Dinner at the year end, it's just so great to know I've actually went through it. Though the path wasn't really friendly, I did manage to go through anyway. And best of all, I was 19. Just few more weeks to become 20; no longer a teenager. Don't know if I should smile or scowl? Smile I think. Forget about those Ah Pek stories, I know I'm finally here. Life looks exciting ahead I can't deny, which will continue to keep spurring me on. 

In 2009, I strive to become more abled; as in many areas in life such as something by measure of knowledge, music, skills in terms of organisational and hands-on, and stuff like that. Perhaps rock climbing or hiking is on the waiting list =) In March, I'll be free from studies! Probably never will, although I'd love to enter Uni one day. There are also many big events coming along - AHCB's upcoming concert in June will be a big thing in my life (Probably lined after marriage) HAHAHA! I'll try my best to complete these big things and wishes before NS so that should anything happen there, I'd have fulfilled my wishes and will not hold any regrets. If time and ability allow, I'd take on piano lesson during my NS days. Just can't see myself idling from something of interests and yet can't play anything. That's fine. I also want a car after NS! I'll work hard!! Perhaps 'after NS' could be when I'm 30 years old and still going on fine. Shall my ability proof something! Yet and again, I'll continue to dream. Like Honda, it's the Power of Dream!

So for December 2008, I've spent a whopping $519.35. That's more than what I earn and receive.

So forever, the F&B portion takes the largest share of the pie. Although the miscellaneous expenses is more than that of F&B's, it includes some drinks and snacks as well. So effectively I've spent a large part on food! It's either I ate too expensively or excessively. Well, the BMI shall proof. The chalet vacation cost me a bomb; almost $100! Food, games materials and stuff like these. Wow, and I have to proclaim I'm a bankrupt now. I seriously need to work to rebounce. Can't depend on lottery! See, I spent only 1% at lottery. Cheers! (Although I shouldn't have spent it at all). 

Most things have changed, and many more will be. More exciting I'd say. So let's all be optimists and do habitually look on the brighter sides of lives!
