When you have nothing to do in the hostel in the middle of the night, you are willing to walk to the hawker centre in the rain for supper…
Britney, Leong Hooi, GMas, Kenny, Adrian and I were all prepared to go to Jalan Lanpangan Terbang Lama’s infamous hawker centre (famous for their hokkien mee, char koay teow and Chinese satay!) for supper when the stupid Singapore weather betrayed us.
Then GMas and Leong Hooi said they were starting to feel sick and Adrian did not want to get sick… leaving the three of us… but hei I had a good time salvaging myself with sinful oily Carrot Cake, Satay and Char Koay Teow!!!
Let’s not forget the inaugural ‘stripping’ exercises we Kenny and I did to Britney in the lift… hehe… you know the scene in movies when the lift opens and a couple is caught smooching in the lift by others? Well the stripping exercise was something like that… haha… half way through getting Britney’s pants down, the lift opened at the 2nd storey and a group of eight china scholars saw us squatting on the floor, both Kenny and I touching Britney’s you-know-where… hehe…

My dance trainer said ‘good try’ a.k.a. ‘you sucked’
Anyway the training was good… get to stretch my flexibility again. I managed to get my nose to touch my knees while standing! Splits here I come!
Like I said the national dateline for my report was today – and my group managed to hand it up on time! Yea! Now can concentrate more on our oral presentation, project file and Malay!
Today’s Bio practical was hilarious as well. It was a written practical assignment on the effects of temperature on the rate of photosynthesis:
The ideal way: Put the elodea plant in a conical flask filled with water. Connect it to a measuring cylinder with a red dye dot in it. Place it in the water bath to maintain the desired temperature.
My way: Put the elodea plant in a conical flask filled with water. Connect it to an inverted burette tube filled with water as well. Place in different locations to obtain the desired temperature: Under the sun, under the tree, in the lab and in the fridge.
Notice the difference?
Oh my chemistry tutor fractured/sprained/hurt his leg/ankle/foot the other day and he came in his Bermudas along with a checkered shirt… he looked funny and weird… what’s more his size, he looked like Giant from Doraemon!

Life After Finals
Aah… the post exams stress
Just found out that my third draft of my report for my Project Work is ‘not adequate yet’. And get this – the national dateline for the report is (thunderstorm) tomorrow at 0900 hours!!!
Then there is oral presentation paper. Upon my last rehearsal, the comment was ‘I tend to look at my flash cards’… are you SURE? I could’ve sworn I looked more at your pretty face than my flash cards!! And get this – I passed my time limit… so the usual advice would be to cut down on content… but no… I have to elaborate more on my contents… and to overcome the time limit? I asked “cut down on content then” … erm … right
Then there is the Malay A level examinations… supposedly a lower standard than SPM’s, I’m getting a 60/110 average for my Ujian Bulanans.
“I thought you were good at your Malay.” My mentor wondered. Well… So I failed my English, and that the marking scheme is so farkingly strict, conservative and proportionately large for one bloody question (isi tempat kosong is 4 marks per tempat kosong)… it doesn’t mean my Malay is bad right?
No wonder my bio tutor said I have the eyes of a panda today…
But the good news is… I got called for an interview for the Internship Program! Bad news is… I’m already devoted to one internship program! Haha… talk about the high demand for labour who have innate abilities and high human capitals (Hands Up!)! Hehe…
I tried doing the thing that they thought me during yoga lessons in college last week… gosh my flexibility is bad… my back ache immediately when I was trying to do splits… and no Britney I didn’t break my hymen… I’m a guy by the way…
Anyway can’t wait for dance training tomorrow… I just turned down the offer to join the Sailing team
‘Oh you have natural talent for sailing’ claimed the instructor ‘Oh you managed your sail well Chee Kiang’
Oh well… won’t be able to ‘jaya diri’ then… wonder what my dance instructor would say about me…
