JOYCEY TRIBUTE
This is a tribute to Joycey, for Joycey, one and only Joycey, who is 70%cute and resembles felicia chin and who REALLY did not bug me all day for a 'Joycey Tribute' entry. Really. No kidding.
Joyce is my new tutorial 'girlfriend' whom im always seen around with cos she takes exactly the same modules as me including marketing and our timetables are like identical. So she can readily beat and pinch me/ask me to carry textbook/use my jacket as raincoat whenever she pleases! So now im in real danger and currently expecting many death threats from her endless number of suitors, but im not afraid! Remember what cca i join. Hahahaha
And this are the various
act cute pics that she snapped using my phone when she's bored. She one day hopes to be more pretty than cute. She hates to be called cute. So everyone better call her pretty.
This comes to the end of Joycey Tribute! Please dont:
-comment bout her looks
-comment bout her acting cute
-ask me if im attached
-put stupid comments on my taggy ok hh
-ask me for her number
-send me any death threats please.
Great to have a good friend like her!
Army Half Marathon and Shears Bridge Run.
For once in my life i approached the city area in sleeveless and shorts. The feeling was weird and naked. A few ten thousand weird and naked people approached the city area today for one single event.
In the morning me and hh met a very appropriately dressed and well covered biao at smu in T-shirt and berms. He claimed he lost his memory while landing on his head in a bouldering accident and hence forgot his running attire, so he would be the storeman for the day.
Only 4 guys turned up to run. The rest were either busy, sick, or busy being sick. And for some, 12km is a waste of time and no kick.
So the quadruplets ran and completed 12 kilometres in a record time of 1 hour 32 minutes and 43seconds. Record, because even babies can run faster than us.
After the agonizing run, we went to toastbox@Plaza to eat thick toasts for breakfast and regained every darn calorie that we thought we had lost in the run.
Then we went to laze in a cinema watching 881, and that ensured that the calories from the toasts we had were converted to fats there and then.
And so, what have we achieved today?
Aching muscles in every inch of our bodies, more fats accumulated than lost, freezing in a cinema. BUT. We had fun didnt we?
Cheers to a good day!
Week 3 already?

My so-called 'happening' NTU life became more hectic, as i now have 7 modules to cope with.
Fun Physics
Fun Maths
Fun Econs
Vomit inducing Materials Science (Its Chemistry la)
Alien Life Science
Weirded Marketing
Lab
Yesterday i went for rockclimbing and i dont think i would be attending anymore. Reasons being i dont want to commit 2 days weekly for competitive, and recreational is too adhoc. Its like whether you turn up or not doesnt make a difference, and i definitely would not stay back till late to come for 'fun'.
Comparing to Judo which i just went for, its once weekly, and i get to learn something new, and attendance will be taken and all. And we get to slam people around, and thats useful if lets say hh or joel goes around zua-ing me again. I'd show those 2 some love, JUDO STYLE
------------------------------------------------------
I got to stop thinking i have a lot of cash to spend.
NTU rocks so far.
Education.
Its been 2 weeks and i guess i have finally settled down in varsity life, and it has been great so far! Met some nice people and did some fun topics like PHYSICS & MATHS & ECONS & some not-so-fun topics like LIFE SCIENCES & MATERIALS SCIENCES! Finally after 2 darn long years, i have proper education again! Though im still noob at some areas in school, its always ok to be noob with people who are also noobs! Education rocks.
Call me MJ the mugger.
School starteth.
My first day of school was kinda thrilling.
My first lecture of the semester was held at the lee kong chian lecture theatre (he follows me everywhere i go!) and was supposed to start at 1.30 so i arranged to meet cong for lunch. When i arrived at the canteen, there was totally no reception at all and i couldnt call cong. And the place is so damn big. I thought, die, how can i find him? So i took an exit to a random direction, and i found him just standing ouside at that random location waiting. Wow.
So after lunch me and cong and our friends walk around trying not to look like noobs, and eventually found ourselves at a library, and we tried to print our notes. We queued quite long at a queue (we were unsure if we queued at the right queue) only too find out that it: was the right queue, but we had not even send any print jobs to the machine and we queued for fun . Apparently a lot of people in the queue also shared our noobness.
NOOBNESS +1
I went for lectures for the first time in 2 years (excluding lectures in army). I forgot all my maths formulas. I need a memory jog pronto.
After my lecture i went to find cong at his hall. After memorizing the ntu map at home, i managed to locate my way to his bunk, then i took another look at the ntu map which was pinned up at his desk. I realised that my route i took to the hall could be ten times faster, and i walked like backwards at some turns.
NOOBNESS +2.
I left the hall for my last lecture at lkc. On the way a fellow freshie stranger asked me if the bus 179 goes all the way out back to interchange. I said YES IT DOES
NOOBNESS -1
My Last lecture was PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS
NOOBNESS +5
That was my first day of school. Darn exciting.
Pre-AY shout-out.
My new desktop just came in on friday, and now i can surf and msn and play music with zero lag! Yay! Away with stupid dell 256mb RAM with only 40gb harddisk.
School starts in a few hours time; im not ready at all for 1)Maths 2)Physics 3)Life Sciences?? 4)Econs; i dont even have any stationery; I dun even know where are all the canteens; And i dun know where to alight from the bus for my lessons. Yes Im a noob. Im an antisocial introvert, and my bag is ugly. And so is the person who chose it :D
Im kidding.
AMS Secretariat
The guy in the centre is their boss
Transition mode. I need casual clothes!
Last Friday & the weekendFriday marks my last day at the office, where a postmortem was held for the successful event, and we discussed the flaws and the necessary improvements, the profits and the losses, the highs and the lows, the media coverages and how my fellow temp had 1.5 seconds of fame on channel newsasia etc. And most importantly, a huge lunch treat from our boss at the nearby maritime house restaurant! A Great ORD treat.
At night the majority of the staff gave a treat to the leaving few (6 in total, and that is already like..1/4 of the office?) at the Riverside seafood restaurant at Clarke quay and we ate till detonation point. That is like 2 seafood restaurants in a day!
I ventured over to bintan with some colleagues during the weekend. We didnt do much, due to the fact that we had only a weekend. Whats there to do for 2 days? (We arrived at 2pm and left at 3pm next day, so technically speaking its only ONE day?) But still we had fun and chilled and relaxed as we all deserved a small break. Truth is, the mahjong set that we brought saved us from death by boredom. We ate kelong seafood for dinner (seafood again.)
Sights of Nirwana resort
When we arrived at the island we heard announcements of some Turtle conservation hatchery ready to release turtle hatchlings into the sea, and we told ourselves we definitedly had to see this (as it would probably be the only interesting thing that we will see these 2 days). The sight of little turtles scrambling into the sea was too cute.
IM FREE!!
Away with all the crap about 'Liberation'. 'Nature at work'. And 'only the strong will survive' speeches. Most of the time i was plotting some booby-trap system that will prevent the turtles from entering the sea! Like mini pitholes in the ground. Or a bent flexible plank spread across the water surface, when the turtles crawl onto it it springs backwards causing the suckers to fly back to the shore. Muahahahaa
At night we played the simplest game on the planet that everyone should learn.
I achieved my personal record but it was pointless as we did not play with true money and maximun was only 5 tai.
- All Pungs (Pong Pong Hu)
- All Same Suit (Qing Yi Se)
- Self Pick (Zi Mo)
-And all the flowers included
My take and suggestions for Bintan:
There are definitedly more things to do at Bintan so it is pointless to go for only 2 days. There is a Go-kart racing track & a paintball arena somewhere, up to you prospective holidayers to find out. Currency used is Sing dollars, so you do not have to worry about rupiah. Snacks are expensive everywhere, so bring from Singapore. Bring mosquito repellent cos it will come in handy. Check weather forecast before coming, dont come in rainy season. For Scenery, it really depends on your resort.
Bottomline: Quite boring. Go only if you love the beach and suntanning and all that. If not, simply book a chalet in Singapore or stayover at a friend's house would be much cheaper.

Wednesday, TodayWent to Kbox in the morning with carol & heart. Had fun screaming our lungs out over chinese songs which hh claims i dont know any and watching carol dance on the sofa like there were rats on the floor. Great fun. I miss the crazy days.
After which carol left for school, so me and heart went on a shopping spree. All i know now is that i bought a bag which HH wants me to tell the whole world that he was the one who told me to get it because its nice. So next time anyone sees me with the bag remember: If you like it, then its hh's idea and good taste and all and please introduce your gorgeous female friend to him. If you detest it then it's not hh's idea at all and it is all MJ's bad taste and tell all your female friends to stay away from him.
Sheesh. :D
