If You Were Slightly Different, Your Name Would Be: |

Hah what a cute name don't you think... =p
Almost another non-blogging week. Cos most of my time is spent on studying or lab so got nothing much to blog about I suppose. Anyway, time sure passes by so quickly when you don't want it to. That is why we really must stop sometimes and just appreciate the day. If not, our life will be just a blur of words flowing from the our textbooks. We should just take a look around at the people, the events happening around us...
Hah...speak for myself I should say. I must admit that my nose has been pretty buried in books these days. Gotta do well in midterms I tell myself...but being stuck at my table does NOT mean that I'm gonna pass with flying colours...cos I spend quite some time daydreaming or fiddling with my comp rather then studying...I just realised there's only 2 and a half days left to MLE midterm. And, I have only done some tutorial ques and just did one chapter's questions. What have I been doing earlier? It's not like I nvr touched this subject...I have been touching...it just had not been going in my brain. Wow...when the 'deadline' is nearby, it sure pushes u to a great extent. Of course I always wish to finish way before the deadline is here...sometimes you just don't manage to find time until the very last minute...
On another note, I find people's personalitites very hard to predict these days... One minute you think you know them so well, the next you find that you don't know the person at all... People don't change overnight they say...ah you'll be surprised... I dunno if I appear so unstable myself....but I think I can predict my moods pretty well...when C++ lab comes out, I go into 'depressed' gear, once it's done, I shift back to happy and cheerful mood again haha...well I would like to think that I'm cheerful...
So, one week of midterms...I must jia you...everyone else too!!! Jia you!!!

Ah didn't blog for almost a week and I have a perfectly good reason for it (besides laziness)...my specs broke on Saturday and I had to get the frame changed (in view of saving money) so I was practically almost blind til Tuesday. Well, not really...just couldn't see computer very clearly...other things still can...so I did know where the staircases were... :( How I broke it? Not during fitness day haha...I'm not that rough. I was just wiping it with my towel and it just broke into half...okay...I'm NOT that rough...it's cos my specs is quite old and it's time is due...anyway glad to have my vision back although now there are 2 extra screws when I look around cos it's frameless now...
Btw, block 6 did extremely well in the fitness day. Haha..looks like we're all pretty fit. Hehe...read Block 6 blog for details. And, the touch rugby and handball guys of RH won gold!!! Didn't get to catch touch rugby cos I din now it was on also...but handball was damn kan cheong/exciting. It was so close the points with Sheares. Think we won by 29-28 something like that...and each hall was like taking turns to score. So close...Manoj was amazing as goalkeeper haha...loved to c him play...Year 1 only leh...got so much more to contribute to RH handball team...
Feel quite fresh today I dun really know why. Maybe it's because I'm finally done with my CTW critique paper (thanks Ee Hiang)...though I still think it's not very good. And also, done with the CTW presentation slides..presentation's tmr...my group didn't really prepare much but it's just a casual thing I think. Though I have a new C++ lab and haven't really got started, midterms coming and haven't really studied yet...maybe it's cos today I only had 1 hour lecture today. And, I played badminton for 2 hours at SRC with Terry, Alex and Wei Jian before lecture. Feels so good...haha...I think it was the exercise that helped me concentrate so well in MLE lecture. Haha...absorbed almost 90%...lucky it was only 1 hour...=p

So little time
Ah haven't blogged for a long time. Past few days busy with C++ labs lor. Came back from CNY holiday only feel crushed by C++ and CTW. This is only 2 subjects and I'm already feeling lack of time...hmm... Really should learn how to balance my time. If not, C++ is gonna be filling all my time...not enough time to study other subjects also. Thank God for sit-in lab...not to say it's easy and can be done but at least now we're free for one week until the next sit-in lab. Feeling quite stupid though...the sit-in lab was pretty straightforward but can't do anything. After the lab, I always get a renewed "semangat" to start programming and learn up the new stuff cos I really feel like I know zero when I do the labs. But then, by the next lab session hmm...feel down again cos find that still cannot do. Just can hope to really grasp my basics and see if I have some inner genius to solve the rest of the labs. Sigh....so much to do so little time. Haven't really started my CTW assignment as well...position paper going to start soon too. Luckily I got my group members d...and I would say I like them...one's from my course and one's from my block haha...nvr really noticed him around but come to think of it have seen him around. Really not in the mood to write anything...as u can also c from the number of posts in my blog. Hehe...especially CTW...I need to critique on an issue that I don't really have any idea what's it about la. Give me global warming and I might be still able to come out with something...now it's what...some random searches in the airline?? Hmm...and the whole article he seems to be going on about the same thing...hmm...how how....next Friday deadline...ah...still got 7 days left only... :(

If you search for "Phea" now, you'll probably find a lot of articles about him. There are at least 3 about him already. So, there's a lot of tributes to him by now...so I won't elaborate. You can visit Gail or Tirza or Block 6 blog... I have known him for almost half a year now...might not seem long but it does feel like I've known him forever...
Phea was our block mate, is our friend, and is a papa to most of us. Why suddenly so many articles about this guy? Cos he moved to NUS High School Residences today. No...he didn't move out out Raffles to go back to Cambodia to become a monk like Alex says. Haha...he's there as a RA...
To say that we do not miss him is an outright lie. When he's not around, our block 6 gang is incomplete...not as lively...not as crazy... Even today, the first day he's not around feels so empty already...it's quite the same feeling when he was not around on weekends...empty and boring days...It's just like a puzzle with a missing piece...a big and important piece indeed. Our gang has been dreading the day that he leaves...everyday hoping and wishing that he doesn't leave...but then he got called to the interview and we know there's a high chance he'll be leaving. How we all wish that we can turn back time and change his mind on leaving...but he has been quite bent on going there because he said before that he originally applied there before being sent to Raffles. So, if he's happy there, we'll all be happy for him too...
We'll miss those days that we had meals and suppers together. We'll miss our outings together. We'll miss the days we studied together. We'll miss every event that has you in the picture. So, Phea, if you happen to stumble upon this blog, don't forget all of us here back at Raffles. We won't forget you definitely...you've had such a big influence in our life this past half year...you might not know...but you certainly Hopefully we can meet often enough for lunches or just to talk...Hope you have a good time ahead...Friends forever right?
