Thanks for the well wishes.....Will get well soon :)

Mid Autumn Festival

Its that time of the year again when family and friends gather to enjoy a cup of pu er tea and mooncakes while children play around with their lanterns. Yes, it is the Mid Autumn Festival or Mooncake Festival (tats wat i always call it) . Hmm... Maybe I shld buy myself a lantern and play with sparklers!! Haha.... Still remember my childhood times.... Those were the carefree days.

I will know it is mooncake festival when dad starts bringing mooncakes home from all sorts of places, hotels, restaurants .... The funny thing is none of us in the family likes mooncakes, so we end up giving them away. I try to help finish some mooncakes, esp those snow skin types which will be the first to be eaten up while the traditional ones will take a longer time (snow skin tastes better). Have been eating mooncakes for breakfast for the past 5 consecutive days and I am abt to get sick of it....

Ok, think I shall stop blogging and concentrate with my latest "game" that I started playing 6 weeks ago..... Its called Hysys, where I can "play" with different temp, pressure, equipment like distillation columns and pumps..... I am still trying complete this stage which is due in 4 weeks time and to upgrade myself from Amateur level to Expert level.... haha... Sounds fun ya?

Term Break!!

Finally, term break after 6 weeks of sch!!! Time really flies.... It seems not too long ago when I was still enjoying my holidays after IA. Anyway, term break in NUS = No term break at all...sobsob... cos got project meetings, essay to write, FYP to do, the list goes on and on.... But then, I still need some time to rest..Ha. So, I think i shall satisfy my cravings for Kbox and rollerblading soon..... YESSSS!!!

Braggers are a bunch of Super Turnoffs

I just cant stand pple who like to boast or brag abt anything they can think of.... such as he or she has been to some fancy XXX restaurants and pubs (ok that is fine until the story goes on....), how he blow $$$ in a single night, how girls try to know him bcos he is shuai.... whether i have been there b4.... I mean pls la... like that also like to show off.... wth man...

Recently, someone boasts to me abt how he is going to be succesful after he graduates bcos he has, and i quote, "the brains and personality", "great presentation skills", how interviewers always "like" him when he goes for interviews, next time drive merc or bmw, how being a banker will earn more than an engineer (which is me i assumed) ... and the list continues cos he said so much i cant really remember all the crap he said.... ALL those bragging SURE tells me a LOT abt HIS PERSONALITY..... Wa kaoz.... I was trying to ren and not get pissed... But then I cant believed he even said those things to me.... It sucks big time or shld i say HE sucks big time and all the bragging makes me feel like puking!!!! Argh!!!!

I wun say i am an angel... BUT for one thing, I always learn to be humble AND I dun BRAG.... Probably its the upbringing thats different.... Come on, WATS there to brag abt in the first place? Only childish pple brags.... Sheesh.... I guess in life we get to meet all sorts of pple with "different" or "unique" personality and character, just have to get used to it.

Near Miss: Its one Close Call

Almost hit a motorcyclist this evening near my home... heng didnt sia.... My family and I was heading out for dinner at abt 730pm and its was dark and drizzling... Just drove out of my place and was heading to the main road from a slip rd, I took a quick glance to the right didnt see any cars thus didnt slow down..... The next thing I knew was my sis shouting at me to watch it.... I was like going "Huh?".... that was when i looked at my right wing mirror and saw a motorcyclist super close to the side of the car.... I totally didnt see the motorcyclist at all.... Oops.

Ok.... so lesson learnt is "Always slow down at slip roads".... and to drive safely.... Safety first.

Ratatouille: I Love It

I love this movie! Best animation show since The Incredibles was released. Remy the French chef wannabe is so so so CUTE! I realised that Ratatouille is the name of a dish in the show. A definite Must Watch!

Anyway, I will be taking a "long deserved break" from blogging cos sch's starting and I dun think I have much time to blog. Probably can sneak in a few entries here and there.... but i guess it will be me complaining abt things like my fyp... haha... pretty boring stuff huh? Will see u in Dec where Nuttycuppy's World of Fun & Laughter continues!!!

Sat 4/8: Klunch @ Cine

Went Klunch with my ex sup Mr KJF and zijia. yl was supposed to join us but he was sick... Anyway it was great.... Sang songs like 小情歌 and ai hen jian dan (inspired by my good friend and king of Kbox, jun pin).

Think cine has now become my fav hangout place.... makes me feel young again...heheh

Was at cineleisure early to grab tickets to Ratatouille for nxt fri!! Tickets were selling like hotcakes....Apparently there's a special preview nxt fri. This show will only be released on 30th Aug. For the 1st time, I am going to be the first few lucky pple in Spore to catch a new release! (Haha...very honoured indeed)

If u have no idea wat this movie is abt, its a Pixar Animation, abt a cute rat whose ambition is to be a french chef.... Sounds interesting?

3/8/07 Fri: Presentation Day

Went to sch today for my FYP presentation.... Had to do a powerpt presentation on my literature review and my research plan. Met my prof for the first time.....Presented in front of my prof and my graduate supervisor mr dai.

Think the presentation went well...managed to smoke my way through most of the questions my prof asked...

Anyway was waiting for my turn to present and i noticed the student in front of me presenting had like 7 slides.... And i was like going "eh...... i got like 41?" Was thinking whether hers was too little or mine got too many for a 30min presentation....

Anyway after the presentation, the first thing the prof asked me was "So Felix, where are u from?" eh..... I just said Singapore.

Apparently he thought i wasnt local cos he said i didnt have a singaporean accent when i presented... haha.. ok i take it as a compliment.... shows that my angmo got standard lor....heheheh....I was thankful he didnt ask me to present in Chinese...

Anyway, had lunch with him and the rest of the graduate students.... its my first time having a meal with a prof.... ha...but it was still ok...apparently he came to spore to work only 1.5yrs ago.
