Virginia Tech

Let's listen to a video that Cho had recoreded before he made the massacre


Virginia Tech: A Tribute


Who really caused this tragedy?? My world issue class today talked about virginia tech. Is Cho really at fault? My lecturer told us it takes two hands to clap and hence there must be something that made him do such a thing. In news reports, Cho was portraited as question mark boy and other hurtful nicknames. The US media regarded him as a korean immigrant but the fact that he was actually an asian american as he came to US since he was 8. Having spent so many years in US, are you still considered an immigrant? An article that she shown us states that asian in US are often "insignificant" as very few news reports mentioned about asian. Is US media a sterotypical arena? What we heard and watched from the news is what the media want us to know

Do we who how Cho really feel? Is he ostracize by his peer just because he is quiet? Did he try to seek help when he has any problems? Did anyone try to help him? All the questions are unanswered. Racism and sterotyping is always happening. What has caused us to think this way or even act this way. Just because we are yellow-skinned doesn't mean that we are from china.

My lecturer told us that her friend who was a Singaporean was driving when suddenly a group of blacks shouted across, "Go back to Korea". How she feel at that instant, i guessed everyone knows.

Cho being an asian american behave and speak like a typical american yet he is not treated equally as the rest. Possessing a gun is also very typical in america. What measures can the government do to prevent such massacre from happening?

it's a very interesting topic as now we were assigned to do a project on sterotyping and we had decided to go sterotyping on races in Singapore context. I am going to do malays sterotype? Any sterotypes that we can think of when we a malay act, speak or behave???

Question: Does advanced technology made us more afraid to expose our emotions and feelings to public as compared to the past? We see how one can behave when he/she chatted online but when comes face to face with another person, the behaviour is completely different. I am not trying to say this statement refers to everyone but this phenomenon is slowly increasing as the younger generation are exposed to advanced technology.

PHEW,

Almost lost my squash racket today. Was careless as usual and left my racket in the classroom. Walked till library and i realised my racket is missing. Dashed back and found the room to be locked and nothing can be spotted with a glimpse through the door. No hard feelings at all as i actually have the intention of getting a new racket. Went to the new board games zone in the library but it was packed with dudes. Slacked around the library for awhile as my classmates like to glance at the usual "stuff" before we headed on to play table tennis and badminton at the sports hall as we have 2 hours of break. Ringed my lecturer up and luckily, he took the racket. =) Coach came today and i played with him. Super tiring but it was fun. Almost collapsed in court.

Yesterday was another round of orientation with the freshies but this time was much relax. NP Fun Day in the afternoon. It's a whole poly event where all schools in NP have to take part in a telematch. It was supposed to be play at the sports field but due to the bad weather conditions, the venue was shifted to the sports hall...


Steward's hair is damn colourful...

NP Fun Day with magnum force performing. Their performance wasn't very fantastic as compared to the past. They made alot of mistakes. NP magum force got 4th position in the latest cheerobics. I think the standard has dropped as they are champion for consecutive 3 or 4 times in a row and now they gotta 4th placing.

The whole event ended around 5pm and School of ME won the 1st place in mascot and banner for the second time in a row. Kinda surprised and happy about it. School of Humanities which is seated beside us was cheering throughout the event and they have alot of girls hence when they shout, it's very piercing. School of Life Science is crazy as they kept cheering non stop but they din win anything. The reason why they were so high was because they just got release from camp in the morning.

Wanted to go home and rest but amelyn from CI called mi to go MOS because it's her birthday. I have no choice but to go. MOS is much better than zouk and i found out that house music is nice. It's fun there.... =)


Nelle and me


Usual dudes


Me and the birthday girl, amelyn... someone snapped her while she was dancing.. cool huh... she is quite sexy but she is married. 24 years old only....

u can go www.cia.sg for more... got 1 ugly pic of me.... =(


Siti and i...

Stayed there until wee hours and we left for some mac...


Just found out that blogger can auto translate english to tamil...

Guess what i wrote...

I'm so so so tired now. Today is freshmen orientation programme (FOP). Stayed over at SY's house and gotta only 40 mins of sleep and we rushed off to school. I partnered pei ting to lead 1A02 and i am the only person who got a girl partner. As usual, people make noise again. I thought i can hand everything to her as i am really very shagged but i got transferred to 1A07 alone!!! 19 students under me!! I had no idea how am i going to break the"ice" Decided to give it a try during lunch break. We had bento set which cost 5 bucks each and it tasted damn horrible that i only have several mouthful of it. Bring all the freshies around the campus to play games and luckily they started to bond. A few jokers in my class and they are super comical. Seriously, it's not easy bringing so many people around the campus and the damn difficult "clues" that made us clueless about our next destination. 14 games, we only managed to play 10 games and it's already 6 plus. Went back to lecture hall for debrief and once again that #$% lecturer is giving his lullabied speech. I fell asleep soundly. haha... throughout the entire time when we were in the lecture hall, i kept dozing off and most of the time is when lecturers are giving their usual boring talks... after which all the student leaders have debrief again until damn late... ZZZzzz

Yesterday was my last day at Certification International (CI). It's was a meeting day for all the full time staff hence all the auditors, admin, sales and marketing personnel were called up for meeting. Boss treated us for lunch at a stupid vegetarian restaurant opposite office. The reason why a vegetarian is because boss is going to india for auditing and he needs to get use of eating veggies. Well the food in that restaurant SUCKS! Really disgusting. They have very nice name but when the food came, it's so greeny and the taste is beyond horrible. I struggled to finish the food and not vomit out although the portion is not very big. The food we had were all organic thus it's very healthy but the problem is the taste!!... Ok after surviving the spagetti, we ordered dessert. Chocolate banana cake sounds delicious but in fact it's sucks too. Because the cake has no egg and flour, it seems like a brownie. Then we tried chocolate pudding and sesame pudding. First try of the chocolate pudding was nice but after several tries, it sucks. The worse of all is sesame pudding. You may thing pudding is the usual hard and jelly-like but it is the soft and poo-like pudding. WTH! the sesame pudding really make me feel like puking. One mouth is enough. Btw, there were alot of ang-moh in that restaurant. Maybe because they have fried and oily food too often till they decided to cleanse their body by having more organic and healthy meals. Everyone looked so greeny and on the verge of puking. Haha it's an experience that i won't never try it again. I can't understand how people can survive eating vegetarian food, 3 meals a day and 365 days a year. I won't probably die... haha...

Back to office and we got back to our work. After 6pm when the meeting ended as well, we celebrated boss's birthday. It's swensen mango ice-cream cake. At last, something that is really edible. Yesterday was Siti last day of work as well which means 2 ppl will be leaving CI. The days i spent here is memorable and fun especially with the sales and marketing team. A big thank you to Cary, my sales manager, Nelle, Cecila, Min and Liana. And also admin team which consisted of, Elaine, Siti, Jaslyn, Amelyn and Ping ping. Last but not least,boss, Dave Chen loon.

Me and carey. Good and nice boss that is hard to bid farewell...


Mi and the funniest joker, Nelle... her forehead looks like luohan....haha... it's nice working with her... =)

Tommorrow is my TP practical test. I want to pass it....

Went to k lunch with these bunch of dudes.... =)









The staff working in k box simply suck big time.... The management should really do something bout it..

Went to vivo for fun and coincidentally we met stefanie sun in the SK jewellery roadshow..

.







Rushed off to Singapore Indoor Stadium after which because of the jolin tsai's concert. Our job scope is simply just to give out cheering stick to the audience. Only 5000 plus pieces yet there were 8000 people attending the concert and the whole is practically full house. After completing our task, we thought we could watch the concert but our tags were only accessible around the foyer hence we decided to sneek in. Sadly to say, we were chased out. Filled with huge disappointment. We all left.. Since gilbert had to wait for the redwheels driver to come, i waited for him as well... while the rest of them left and only 4 person remains. Suddenly, we were given a chance to watch the concert.. damn happy.... so we went in and i took tons of photos... Her concert is simply remarkable with beautifully choreography dance moves and effects. The audiences were wild... stunning performance... =)


Her hair is damn ugly... ma chiam like the old fann wong's hair style...


She was actually dancing but when i snap a shot of it, it shows this super unglam position... *****














Was trying to show how beautiful the light sticks were but the camera "special" function showed this funny and abstractive pic. Look at the tai tai's hair...


Stupid guy who was trying to get fresh from jolin... damn jealous... =(


Full House...








High risk of falling down... haha.. it's the finale where she sang dao dai..



Encore first song... wu nian....





i will try to post the video so that u can watch part of the concertt.. it's nice... =)

Thursday was FOP camp. It's was a bad camp due to the poor communication of the camp committes. Initally everything was going on smoothly although the number of people who turned up was rather pathetic. Problems arise when we were separated to different games stations. I shall not go into futher elaboration on it as it's disappointing. The dormitory at blk 73 is very terrible and run-down. So the few of us decided to leave the camp in the night and go to shao yong's house where as gilbert and his AT dudes remained in the campus. Since i have to work on friday afternoon, i had to leave on friday morning hence doesn't really make a difference whether i leave on friday morning or thursday night. Moreover, they did not plan any activities after 7pm and they expected us to stay overnight.

So we went to SY's house and stayed overnight. Went for work at 2pm in my beach attire with slippers and got reprimanded by boss. No choice... haha. Fell ASLEEP when i was doing my job!!! i'm super shagged at that point of time.

Rushed back home asap and left for "class" chalet at pasir ris. The so called class chalet have only 4 person and the other 6 was our volleyball friends. Had a great time there and i did not sleep at all. Went back home at 7am to catch some sleep.

Pics...

Junk food

magnify to see the tiles... haha...

Cai kwan and i

Woke up at 2pm and i rushed off to meet elaine and siti at woodlands as we are to JB. I had the urge of not going but decided to change my mind although i am very very very tired. We reached JB custom at 3.45pm and waited for 45mins just for the chop as everyone is jumping queues. The sky was sunny while we were waiting till it started to rain heavily when it was going to be our turn. Met Nelle and we went to jusco, a huge shopping mall in JB. Ate something at this particular fastfood outlet which i'm unsure of the shop's name.


Damn delicious... cheap as well...

Roamed the whole place at 6pm... Sales everywhere but i don't seems to buy anything at all. Super tired and sian.. The shops there are just like the ones in Singapore. The rest of them got something they want and we left at 9 plus. Went to city square where i saw tons of guys stuffs that i can buy but the shops were closed -_-! Feeling dishearted after travelling one whole empty handed with so much RM in my wallet waiting to rot. Nelle recommended us to this particular nasi lemark shop in JB and it really very delicious. The nicest i had ever tasted in my whole life. The rice is very fragrance and the chicken is very soft, tender and crispy. Best part was it cost only $1.50RM and ice tea for $1.30RM... OMG!! Thinking of it makes my stomach grumble. After which, we made our way back to Singapore and we happened to pass by this particular interesting place called the danga bay, so we decided to stop and check it out. We were fortunate as our car were malaysia registered hence we have lesser chance of getting robbed. Brought some shirts there and we left around 1am.

Pics..












We took a cab from malaysia to singapore and guess what. The cab that we took was comfort taxi. It was kinda safe to sit Singapore taxi as they will not give a shocking price just to bring us back to our country. SGD$35 back to Singapore and right to our doorstep. Isn't it cheap?? Heard from the cabbie uncle that if we take the malaysia cab, we got to pay $30 and they can only stop at rochor road which is somewhere near bugis. And that's the whole JB trip with very little expeditures.

After this trip, i felt more fortunate staying in Singapore although staying here is stressful, people here are not very etiquette but our country is safe and the environment is nice. The road in malaysia are just too bad as they have deep holes and uneven road. Worse of all, the drivers in malaysia are very reckless. I think i will kill someone if i drive in malaysia... haha... the situation is also very unsafe and we need to be careful constantly as we walked around shops and streets thinking that there maybe bad people nearby. The hygiene and the drainage system were poor as alot of roads were flooded with rain water. There were good stuffs about malaysia as well like the food and cheap stuff. You can get a car for $5000RM!!! OMG!!! $200000 for 2 storey terrace with nice facilities.
