Back for an update since my blog is rather dead. I failed my BTT today, I'm sure it's a rather close results, but I still failed. Not gonna talk much about it, gonna try again harder for the next test.

And some random thoughts just came into my mind recently, or shall I say they are not random? As they really sets me thinking and pondering upon. Every night when I'm online, I can see contacts online in msn, I have 200 over contacts in my msn, but those who truly chat with me are really little. I can say I chat with less than 10-20 contacts in my msn list. Sounds pathetic isn't it? As I don't even know some of the contacts in the list.

The people whom I can chat with heart to heart is really limited, I can say not much people understands me, know me or even bother to double click on my nick to start a conv, UNLESS it is something important and they needed assistance or help from me.

As I had read Justin's blog earlier on last week on his post about friends, it really hit me hard on my thoughts and made me even sure that, Friendship is one hell of a thing that's hard to maintain, not only relationship with gf/bf. It's never enough just to meet once a week, sitting down together to chit chat or so. People may think.. It's okay, we met once a week to spend time with each other chatting, it's better than not meeting at all. But I can tell you that, you people might meet consistently for 1 or 2 months, but after that? You never knows.. When your friends get really busy due to work or school, the time spent will be gradually decreased, and you will really need lots and lots of effort to bring the friendship back together, but even if you do, it's never gonna be the same again.

You will start to feel the distance between you and your friends are getting further and further apart, not knowing what are they exactly thinking, and they might have a different opinion about you as well. Making new friends seems to be a very easy task, at work, school, events, activities etc. But how can it really be compared to the long period of friendship you had with your pri or sec sch friends? It's a whole new cycle where you need to start building the understanding and interest between each other.

How I wish that I'm still a 3 year old kiddo, making new friends when playing around at playground, running about playing catching and go sliding down the slide, going to neighbour's house to play with toys or even a PS3 or Xbox360. A kid will never have to worry about having to maintain their friendship with these friends as they all have a common interest in them, and that's to PLAY. They have no worries, no burdens, no problems in their lives at all. But when you grow up, problems tends to come knocking on your door, you start worrying about your future, your family, and not forgetting your friends. And I understand these burdens, problems and worries will somehow affect the time we spend with our friends during our free time as we need to dig out time to solve these problems, or even to do our own stuffs.

I'm ending here since I don't know how to continue. Good bye and good night..

They were only there for about 20-30 mins, left after browsing all the projects in the lab. Nothing special anyway. Lol. Jiatong did something very funny and courageous today, he shouted "Sockek!" very loudly in the lab cos he forgot something. I was laughing non-stop but trying not to be too obvious. =X And so Edward drew a picture on the whiteboard which is Jokes about J.T everyday.

And the picture above is the door of my MP lab. The idea came from Yanghao for the spyholes and he printed out the Visiting Hours and no feeding of monkeys. Lol. There are actually people peeping into the hole during TPrawks and I guess they are all those Sec sch students. Lol =x

The hotel was located quite at an ulu place. And we had to climb a lot of stairs before reaching that hotel. So Sarah and me reached the hotel room 1st for the decorations as Andy accompanied Janet home as she forgotten to bring some stuffs. And Sarah was folding roses while I'm busying blowing balloons and Sarah had to multi task to help me tie the balloons. =D Andy and Janet reached shortly after I finish blowing all the balloons, and we started with the major stage of decoration. Hanging up the "happy birthday" on the curtain, and that really was the most difficult task to do, as we need to think of ways to make the words as stable as possible. But the end results seems good and I came up with an idea of drawing on some of the heartshape balloons since there were 5 of them. =D Suddenly I felt that, I'm creative. Lol.

After decorating, we cleaned up the room and headed out to eat. And I guess that the hotel staffs there will remember us vividly as after we passed the key to the reception and headed out, Janet remembered that she left a big bag in the hotel room. And so we have to collect the card key from the reception again and then go up and take the bag again. Lol. So we went to Rabbit at Clarke Quay to eat, then Shirley called us, and William said thanks to all of us. Haha. And asked us to head back to the hotel and have fun together. LOL. So we headed back after dinner, and had fun together with the Birthday Boy. =D Alright, time for some pictures.

Has been lacking of updates recently, the main reason was that I've got nothing to update about. Nothing interesting to talk about as well, except for some rantings about TP's wonderful planning of our Major Project right now.

School's started for 2 weeks already, and now most of us in the lab still got unconfirmed projects, or perhaps it's just my group waiting for MAS approval. And my supervisor went on training course this week, leaving us in isolation with some tasks and reports to do. Reading up on tutorials on Adobe Flash Action Script. Well it's not a bad thing for researching period, but we can't even get the software we need like Photoshop, After Effects and Flash CS3 installed on our computers to work on it hands on after reading the tutorials online. We have to even get the software cd keys from "unrighteous" ways. Aren't TP supposed to be providing with all the software we need for our development in our projects? We paid thousands over dollars of school fees each semester, and now we can't even have proper software installed on the computers. Sighh... I'm really wondering, will I even able to clear my Major Project with the current situation TP put us in.

Alright, enough of rantings already. I'm sure all of my friends in the lab will be thinking exactly the same thing as me right now, or even much more long ago. As said by Choonwei,

I'm super tired right now, slept only one hour or so as I watched Liverpool's disappointing game against Athletico Madrid, slept at 5am and woke up at 7.30am. This Friday - Sunday will be working at Expo together with Shir and Sarah for a Pet Responsiblity Roadshow. So I guess it will be a very tiring weekend for me as the working hours gonna be long. =( But money money come.. I need to save up for a new desktop as my current one is dying on me at anytime. I'm even thinking of buying a Xbox360 and LCD tv as mentioned in the previous post. But my priority right now is a new desktop, a high end one that's able to support almost any games in the world. Haha.

And Football Manager 2009 really rocks. Played the demo in school and I'm definitely gonna buy the game when it's released. =D
