Can some one enlightened me on this??? for the past few weeks, i had been coming into contact with some of the J1 in singapore this year... how strange... they have been complaining about some of the weirdest things... girls not mixing with the guys... the class being bo chap about the activities and he/she have to do all alone... ppl branding he/she to be act cute when he/she claims she is not... hmm... how come the JC i went to i neva really sense all these things huh??? probably i was like too dumb to realise it or something... hahahah...


I neva really had tat problem of girls not mixing with guys... RJ was totally heaven.. hahah.. my class was the best... the girls are so nice then when i was around... (note the THEN...) my OG has tat crazy girl ying yi and pam... so it was really good... and some more in arts fac... wah lao eh... you have any idea how nice the girls are??? tat was total heaven...


NJ was different... coz i dun mix with ANYONE!!! but then still got some nice girls like Zin, ying, huimin, tien hui and such... but the thing is i din really like open up and get to noe them better... so i won't really say i MIXED with them... but they are nice, and there is no doubt about tat...



The thing about ON or NOT ON... quite hard to say... my RJ class was quite ok... dun recall any teacher complaining about us... i think it is the fact tat we have a really good CT rep... that GUY... not tat girl... can't remember his name... very responsible one... very ON, charismatic and handsome one... hmm... what was his name??? HAHHAHAHAHAHHAAH... but anyway, i think the class gel-ed quite well then... wat happened after tat is not my problem liao... hahahah


NJ again is different... in a world of stoners and gonners, only the guys (READ: CHunyi, KP, Jia Hwee and me...) in my clas are sorta ON about things... as in... the RIGHT things... not some silly silly stuff... so class outings... class jerseys (which did not go thru...) are all taken care of by the guys... we will be there for the not so fun stuff laaa... but just won't be tat active lor... you need help, we give help if we can... but we won't be enthu for tat kind of stuff laaa... so i think it worked fine... at least i dun think it will come to an extend where some ppl will feel all alone and want to cry coz tat poor chap is the only one doing things...



Then you have this thing about ACBC... some ppl are REALLY ACBC... ugly like hell and still want to act chio or cute... but ppl will only anti them coz they really screw up or wat... i remember NJ got this two girl... from ZiWei's class... or rather, my Orientation class (which only lasted for 3 days.. and i was only there for like 2 hours... HAHAHHAA...) wah lao eh... tat two chap seriously make me vomit like mad... you noe how ugly they are??? and for me to say they are ugly means it is really bad lor... pretty, means physically attractive... BUT physically UNATTRACTIVE do not ===== to UGLY... the two of them is beyond hope liao... ugly like hell and still not self concious... talk to guys as if they are the hottest chic around... and walk around like with tat attitude... WAHHH... even till now my hair still stands when i think of them... DAMN SCARY... i mean really... there is NOTHING WRONG with being physically unattractive... ok.. let's face it... NOT EVERYONE CAN BE AS ATTRACTIVE AS ME OK!!! SO BEAT IT!!! hahahahahah... but seriously... i cannot... and i think EVERYONE I NOE.... CANNOT stand it when girls ACBC or guys try to be cool and funky... you dun have to be cute or chio for ppl to like you!!! you dun have to be cool and funky for those attention!!! spiking up your lousy strands of hair, dying them, carry tat ugly loud looking phone, and talking as loud as PCK IS NOT COOL AND ATTRACTIVE... got laaa... those things really attract my attention in NJ laaa... but only attracting my fists towards them... seriously... act chio buay chio and act cute buay cute is the MOST DISGUSTING thing tat a girl can EVER DO!!!


but the thing here is... how am i to judge rite?!?!?!? maybe tat person IS really like tat... and maybe she is just not acting... maybe she just like to act cute... like to act chio... er... with regards to this... then i dunnoe wat to say really liao laaaa... but er... can only extend my deepest heartfelt SYMPATHY towards those type of ppl... but then again... like NJ so many ppl... i can only remember seeing TWO (ok... there are many more around... but THiS TwO... oh my god... give me a minute while i vomit...) so it is really not tat big a problem among girls... so this is really no big deal... but even if there are idiots like me who "misjudged" on that two girls... so wat??? that two chap still lead a happy life... they think they are really cool and funky.. .and the centre of attention... they are happy wat... so wat??? you think they give a damn about ppl like me??? THEY are probably feeling sorry for myself... for sleeping in school the whole day and only wake up when school is over... while they are the centre of attention the whole day... rite!??!?! so watever you want to do is entirely up to you laaa... they could also have taken notice of ppl like me who are anti them and START TO GET A LIFE... and change... or they can start CRYING and curse at how evil ppl like me are... or they can just ask me to screw myself and go on with their life laaa... see... obviously ONE AND THREE are the best option FOR THEM... (but only ONE option will avoid them from being DESTROYED for HUMANITARIAN reasons... hahahahah) and crying is really a stupid option... of course granted laaa... girls like to cry... but er... usually it has no effect lor... unless you are dealing with ppl like me who really gets scare when girls start to cry... but seriously... why would you want to even shed a drop of tear for ppl tat you think are JERKS??? dun make sense rite?? might as well put some energy into things like thinking about how to get a gun and shoot them down one by one... and spend time looking into the mirror and practise the evil look on your face when you gun them down... etc etc... you noe wat i mean!!! crying because of those idiots?? aiyo... not worth it at all...

so the conclusion??? hmm... maybe you young J1 really should get a life laaa... small small thing like this alreayd cannot tahan... like this cannot go very far one you noe??? really... unless it is some huge issues like weight problem or outburst of pimples at the wrong part of your body then maybe can get a little upset and wat not... but this kind of small thing??? pls... i am sure you have better things to do... like trying to find out my bank account number and secretly sending me US$1000 a month into tat account!!! hahahah... yup yup... i am full of good ideas!!! i am soooo proud of myself!!! YEAH!!!

Poli Sci today was great... the Prof is not Lemke type... young and energetic... the pace is turtle slow... but it was interesting... bad thing is tat i am in for tons of readings... but good thing is tat i dun have to buy any book for this course... the whole lecture all have to take your own notes... no OHP or powerpoint slides... Prof Joffe is from U Jerusalem... kinda cool.... anyway.... another stupid thing is tat his assigned reading is super weird.... tat book we must read for this week, Chinese Foreign Policy: Theory and Practice is not available in the library... i searched for tat book immediately after class in the UGLi and the grad library... but both are classified as missing.... oh well... probably should email the Prof and tell him about this... hopefully he will reserve all those materials b4 hand next time...

10.(a) 4 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 5 (e) 6 (f) 1


Now add up the total number of points.


OVER 60 POINTS:
==============
Others see you as someone they should "handle with
care". You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is
extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they
could be more like you, but don't always trust you,
hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS:
===============
Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather
impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to
make decisions, though not always the right ones. They
see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try
anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an
adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of
the excitement you radiate.


41 TO 50 POINTS:
===============
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing,
practical, and always interesting; someone who's
constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently
well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also
see you as kind, considerate, and understanding;
someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.


31 TO 40 POINTS:
===============
Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful &
practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented,
but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly
or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends
you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return.
Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot
to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that
it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust
is ever broken.


21 TO 30 POINTS:
===============
Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see
you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and
steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you
ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the
moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully
from every angle and then, usually decide against it.
They think this reaction is caused partly by your
careful nature.


UNDER 21 POINTS:
===============
People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive,
someone who needs looking after, who always wants
someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want
to get involved with anyone or anything. They see you
as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist.
Some people think you're boring. Only those who know
you well know that you aren't.

BTW... my new year resolution is to swear less.... i know it is damn (damn is not a rude word.. i think so....) hard... esp with those siao friends i have here... hahah... but it is yet another step in making myself a better man!!!


also, i am also trying to read the Buddhist Sutras more often this term... and enhance my level of Buddhist Study.... was not a very good boy the last term... neglected my learnings of Buddha's teachings... nope... not good... so this term must work hard in this area also... yup yup!!!! Wish me luck man!!!



 
Yippee.. term is starting tomorrow!!! hahah... never felt so good and anticipate the start of a new school term with such enthusiasm!!! hahah...tell you guys... this is the term man... this term will finally decide for me which major i truly am going to take... WHY??? coz after this term, i would be able to safely say that i had tried out all the stuff i want liao.... here is wat i will take this term:


1. Econ 101 - 3 month of econ in RJ is not enuff to give me a good idea of wat exactly is going on... i think i did pretty well the first 3 months.. but i want to have a better feel... so this will hopefully give me more insight..


2. IOE 201 and IOE 202 - These two introductory IOE courses deals iwht Econ Decision making and Operations modelling... so hopefully (it should) give me a good insight on wat the hell IOE is all about...


3. Poli Sci 379 - This is the baby... i totally loved poli sci 160... world politics... this course is about Advance Foreign Policy... taught by a visiting prof who is an expert on China's politics... hehee... how cool can you get??? and also, i want to take a higher level poli sci class just to see if i can cope with it... man... hit me baby... daddy's all prepared to kick ya ass!!! hahahah


4. Calculus 2... bombed this course last sem... so have to retake it again... this time i will not settle for anything less than a A-... man... i know i can do it... this thing is really hard core... i really need to practise like mad... but you can't imaging how fired up i am to kick this course's ass... muahahah... wonders that my fab NYC trip did to me!!!! YIPPEE!!!!




Anyway... mi mom has again disappeared into thin air... this time she went to down-under... probably for two months... my dad is still busy and hardworking-ly learning the great teachings of Buddha... Grandma is still jolly and healthy (YIPPPEE!!! bless her... she is the most wonderful/kind/nice person in this world!!!)... finally managed to catch hold of her last nite... hahah.. she is super funny one... everytime i call her on the phone on weekends, she will be so anxious when she hear my voice... that she will throw the phone to my third auntie (who is also very very nice...) whom will took my grandma out to walk around during weekends... so everytime when i call my grandma, i end up tokking to my aunt... hahah... i dun mind tokking to my aunt laa... she is such a nice person, and being so good to me and my family... but i really really want to tok to my grandma to hear her laugh... hmm... i really miss her... want to give her a big hug so much... but it is not as if i can like fly back to taiwan to spend the weekend with her right... so the only thing i could do is to call her and tell her jokes to make her laugh and let her be happy... but still it is good that she has someone to pass her handphone to when i call... that means she is with someone... and that she is not alone in her small tiny bedroom.... so aiya... dunnoe laa.... either way i am actually quite happy for her... but i do selfishly want to tok to my grandma alone mah... hahahahahah...


okok... first class starts at 10 oclock tomorrow... about 10 more hours to go... got to go back and get my self ready for the a brand new start... good luck everyone!!! HAVE FUN!!!
