And so it begins again ...
Hi everyone!
This week marks the chapter of a new semester at TP , which also means the first week for thousands of freshies at TP.
Lectures so far have been pretty good, not really as boring as i had anticipated at first which is great! Having said that , i feel lectures are alot more interesting because of the courses being taught. I find it much more relevant to my future career as compared to say , Geography , Chemistry or Physics. Safe to say i wont be using any of the 3 examples given in Business. (Some might disagree but hey! , to each his own huh?) Hence it this makes you pay more attention in lectures and tutorials because you know what you're learning now , will make you a much more efficient and productive employee when you join the workforce.
Lectures and tutorials nowadays are never a bore with the interesting people in class, so thats great as well! School has been like totally slack as well , like going for lectures at 11 and going home at 1 , the awesomeness...! Or take for instance today i didnt need to go at all cause i had no lectures lol. <3 that!
CCA Fair was this week as well , tons of CCAs! Wish i could join all but alas, i would go crazy doing so. Signed up for Tennis , Tae Kwon Do and Dance(LOL DANCE!). There was this chick that persuaded me to join and she wasnt exactly THE hottest girl la, but still there was something about her that made me go WOW! hahahahha.. so to please her, i just signed up for fun. Under the heading background experience i wrote down CHICKY DANCE and MASS DANCE. So i'm feeling pretty confident, except maybe with the wtf auditions hahah!
Had meals at the Applied Science canteen over these few days, and OMGWTFBBQSAUCE Applied Science's canteen is like a bloody replica of an air-conditioned food court , now i know why there usually aren't many people at the business park lol . Although business is still the best BIZ BIZ BIZ BIZNESS!!! yupp. The food court has like 20+ stalls while business has like 5? WTF?!
To sum it up, the first week of campus life has been great , hopefully it will stay that way! Till next time CYA!

BIZ BIZ BIZ BIZNESS!!!
Hello all , 2nd day of Tp's business orientation today! Had much more fun compared to yesterday. Early morning lecture followed by meeting with CPs. The "meet the CP session" was funny as hell. I was like laughing the entire lesson la , even when the whole class was silent i kept laughing for like 5 minutes non-stop for some reason. I had to even hide my face behind the monitor. The odd and totally random stuff my classmates say drive me into fits of hysteria. Okay that might be an exagerration but its pretty close to it!
Inter-School event was cool for me. Everyone in their business jerseys brings out a definite sense of unity amongst the business students. WOOT WOOT WOOT had HAWT SLs standing infront of me , and some HAWT girls around the area so i guess that was H-A-W-T and not to mention humid as well! Cheered with a high level of enthusiasm throughout, and as expected my throat felt kinda sore after the event.
Next , proceeded to bedok reservoir for the TP REGATTA. TP totally owns bedok reservoir man , saw the wake boarding demo and i was like totally FWAHAHHA i gotta learn how to do that! Saw abit of the inter - school dragon boating and sad to say, pon-ed the event soon after. I think there was a mass dance/clubbing thing going on but i wasn't fancying that so i guess heading home was the better idea.
To summarise, biz orientation was alright i guess. Opportunities for class bonding were aplenty i guess that was one of the main reasons anyway. Looking forward to studying (rotflmao ya i know, i kid you not!) and CCA selection !
Till next time! A single moment of understanding can flood a whole life with meaning.

Freshies Oei!!!
Hello! Ni hao! Konnichiwa! Annyong-haseyo!
Freshies Oei!! Business Oei!! BSG Oei!! These words still resonating through the canals of my ear , were the most frequently used words throughout the entire day! Thats right! It's Business Orientation at Tp.
First hour of orientation was uber sian to the max , had to wait in the TCC for like an hour waiting for events to initiate. Didn't talk much to the people around me yet , cause everyone was like still uneasy and still withdrawn from each other. However , as the day progressed the shell that everyone wore, slowly diminshed.
The first few thoughts that came to mind as i settled in at the Temasek Convention Centre (TCC) was OMG WTH, I've never EVER seen so many FBTs and super short shorts in a single confined area EVER! That's not to say its a bad thing though! Somehow i feel that the SLs (sort of like group leaders) actually are hotter than the freshmen themselves. BUT that's just me i guess ... hahaha .. Moving on , we had ice breaker games , lunch etc etc. Moved to an indoor sports complex where we learned mass dance which was great fun by the way! Followed by more cheers and cheers and cheers and cheers.
Class allocation was pretty good i guess. There's a nice synergy of guys and gals not too many and no too little either. Everyone seems pretty friendly all around so i guess thats good. Everyone speaks english , so thankfully no cheena people (if you're reading this and feel/think you're cheena , sorry no offence to you).
Basically that sums up my 1st day experience , all in all pretty good i guess. Though at times there were pretty boring moments i would say i still had fun! One of my SLs was quite hot and kind too (when like everyone was feeling hot , she'd go around fanning us with her file! hahah) , so i guess that made it even more enjoyable! hahahaha ...
Till next time , Do or do not there is no try!

Berry Berry Extraordinary
Hello! Ni Hao! Konnichiwa! Annyong-haseyo!
These past few days have been great fun. Tennis training on Sunday was awesome albeit the agonising heat. I can feel the tennis powers returning hoo hah! Went home, took a quick nap and was off to "hang" with LT.
We went to Vivo for a movie and dinner. Walked around Vivo while waiting for the movie. Got ourselves some Ben and Jerry's. BERRY BERRY EXTRAORDINARY STRAWBERRY SORBET is the <3. I think LT got the normal strawberry sorbet. Having tasted my sorbet she couldn't stop picking at my cup so i was like OMG JUST TAKE MINE LA! hahaha .. walked abit more and realised we were lost like noobs in Vivo , the irony!
Despite my disdain for horror/thriller movies , we watched THE REAPING. That show was good but too creepy for me la , even as i type this i still have goosebumps! Incurred some injuries while watching the movie cuz i got shocked! Hard to imagine but yes injuries do happen in movies! hahaha ..
Almost dined at Marche , but LT was like ... Errr i think FOOD REPUBLIC better la! i was like OMG WHAT?! .. so i was like okay la sui bian sui bian. Had korean KIMCHI RAMEN. After that encounter , i will absolutely and positively 100% chop stamp stay away from korean food at foodcourts urgh..
Accompanied LT through the "dark alleys" of her house, then cabbed my way home. Was so amazingly suay to get a cab driver who doesnt know the way to my area , he only speaks only chinese as well. So i was like WAH LAO WHEY! Thankfully i have an inbuilt GPS system in my head and guided this oblivious driver to my house, after which he then proceeded to give me lectures about how his nephews and nieces and his whole other family only speaks English. So even after reaching my destination i had to wait in the cab for like 2 minutes listening to his story. zZz . Perhaps he knows i'm a good listener? hahahahha.
Later on in the night saw FA CUP : SEMI-FINAL BLACKBURN VS CHELSEA OMG CHELSEA once again made it through with the skin on their teeths. 2nd half blackburn came back on with a positive attitude and a sense of affirmation that they could actually win the tie. But alas , it was not meant to be. A late winner from the left foot of Ballack saw Chelsea through to the finals. For the most part i felt Blackburn might've and shoud've won. Oh well ..
TP's school of business orientation coming up this Thursday and Friday looking forward to it. New friends , new studying enviroment , new everything . haha but for the most part i'll definitely see some old and familiar faces. School's LIKE ON MONDAY ALREADY!!! ARGH!! got like 6 more days of freedom.
Till next time, may your actions speak louder than your words!

Play then rewind!
Hello! Ni Hao! Konnichiwa! Annyong-haseyo!
Due to popular demand i had to change my blogskin because of the trouble with navigating the blog. DAMMIT LA why do blog skins always look like they're for girls? I mean COME ON LA GUYS BLOG TOO DUH! How am i gonna find a decently designed blogskin for guys , without flowers and pink and butterflies and girls and and and and i could go on forever you know what i mean .. zZz ... looking for a blogskin for a guy is so amazingly ridiculous!
As i pen down my thoughts the first thing that comes to mind is , WTF MANU 7-1 ROMA. Yes any ardent soccer fan would've probably known that result by now. Watched the match and clearly manu were vastly dominant over the mediocre roma. Damn it maybe its time i started supporting manu too man! hahahha..
Anyways these past few days thoughts have been pacing through my head like a zephyr blowing through a desert. It seems i've arrived at a revelation. Some people arent actually who they make themselves out to be. Granted, i might've not known said person well enough to pass judgement, but still i try to. This can be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it. In my case i guess its a good thing. Moving on from this emo-ing bullshit.
Life currently feels like a DVD . I press play in the morning , at night rewind , and the next morning play again. hahaha i guess thats what you get when you got too much time on your hands. Well, perhaps this is also partly due to the fact that most of my usual "clique" has gone off to to serve the nation. OKAY ADVERTISEMENT! IF ANYONE OF RESONABLE TENNIS PRO-NESS (E.G /10 YOU'RE LIKE 6-7.5) WANNA PLAY? OR ANYONE WANNA PLAY SOCCER WITH A CRISTIANO RONALDO LIKE PLAYER? PLEASE CONTACT ME! haha alright. Always looking forward to playing at THE CAGE with MPFC people too! Oh! and anyone wanna go jogging along east coast beach in the morning or something? haha losing my physical fitness man!
Recently received the song GIRLFRIEND by Avirl Lavigne , singing along with this song totally makes me feel like a bimbotic girl! Hahaha now at least i know what it sort of feels like eh! hahahha .. Speaking of songs , over the past few days i've uploaded 3 albums from Jay Chou into my mum's ipod and she's already like asking me to sing the songs!(lets just assume i'm a good singer! hahahha) haha i found it damn amusing. I was like "aiyah go google and download his lyrics la" hahhaa .. and like my mum tries to sing along , it completely doesnt sound like the song la! hahahah.. oh man. Okay la better not say so many bad stuff sekali she stumble upon this blog sia , then die man! .. haha
Till next time , CYA!

The Return!
Hello everyone! New skin, New post , Same old me! Its been an extremely long time since i last posted something like 4-5 months or so. Since the holidays are still going on for me i guess this is something to pass time, and brush up on my english. Writing has always been somewhat of an understated passion of mine and since i probably will never every touch english/literature again i feel this a great avenue to quench some of that passionate thirst lol.
(this will have you craving for more)
(seriously the best steak i've ever had!)
Its 3.30am now as i sit here in silent contemplation of the days that have passed since i last blogged , i can safely say life has been all but boring. Naturally, one would expect life with plenty of ups and downs but for me i think nothing bad has really happened to me as of yet and i really hope it stays that way.
(Australian clouds? lol)
April is upon us and the experiences that of which are known as the "O" levels are still very fresh in my mind. The mugging , stress what have you, still taste like yesterdays breakfast. Results were good enough to get me into my first choice @tp which was highly unexpected, so definitely a high point in life there. Another high was of course going back to Australia in mid February for Chinese New Year did tonsssss of shopping PRADA , CHANEL , ARMANI , LUIS VUTTON. Well not quite lol , more like Billabong , Ripcurl , Quiksilver etc. Turned 17 in march had a fantastic dinner with friends and family. Right now i would say i've been blessed in deed!
(great food great company)
Anyways , moving on to the "real" blogging.
Recently started tennis training at kallang to get back my form (omg PT was tough i still have like muscle aches from the amount of stairs i climbed) , all this in light of tennis trials for temasek poly. Probably wont get in though due to the plethora of talent a single cohorde of pupils will bring , but nevertheless no harm in trying. Even if i dont get in , could always try for Tae-Kwon-Do to which i already hold a black black HIYAAAA! lol ...
Speaking of poly, i'm pretty excited to start school again. I know this sounds odd coming from me lah , but i've been sitting on my ass for the past 5 of so months doing nothing but wasting electricity and spoiling my eyes staring at the monitor. Many people ask "But Shawn why dont you get a job lah!". The answer is simple i couldnt be bothered really .. hahaha .. HOWEVER! There is a real explanation behind all that. If I'm going to work my ass off after i get my degree (hopefully) why on earth would i want to succumb myself to the hardships now. Well , some might argue experience , pocket money , make new friends , look nice in uniform and blah blahb balbah blah!.. but still, there are'nt enough justifiable reasons to do so lol ..
So basically the daily timetable for me right now is using the computer right after waking up around 11am-1pm and doing the usual Msning, Dotaing ,tennising , internet browsing , cnc3ing and tving. Which reminds me of JC friends who're like having recess when i wake up (LOL at you JC people), or something like that. Personally i'd never be able to mug for A levels. The words study and shawn seldom and rarely ever ever ever go together. Even if i did mug extremely hard for A lvls i probably flunk it anyway lol ..
ALRIGHT if you made it till here , you perseverance and tolerance is highly commendable lol. You probably spent a good amount of time reading this , so stare out your window now and do your eye massage. IT HELPS PREVENT MYOPIA! lol .. alright on this note i shall end this and leave you with a GOODBYE!
(Australian clouds? lol) 
(great food great company)
