when your mum loves money more than anything
My mum is on the verge on declaring me bankrupt. She has kindly dug out all the credit card bills and demanded that I settle them without eating into my bank reserves. Her 3 options are

1) Transfer every single cent remaining in my account to her so that I have no $$ to spend. I still have to return her the credit card money =(
2) Survive on $50 a MONTH until I settle my debts. She has obviously been stuck in her office for too long. She still thinks it's 10 years ago.
3) Rob, borrow whatever and juz dig out $XXXX.

So from now on, friends who love me shall only ask me out to lunch/dinner at hawker centres. Only eat free dinners at home and no more suppers. The obvious goes to shopping. I shall juz bury myself in dull literature readings.

I need a sugar daddy =)

phelps vs bolt
As much as I'm crazy and delighted over Michael Phelp's 8 gold victory, I'm also very much blown away by Usain Bolt. It's true that no one has ever won 8 gold medals at a single Olympics Game, not to mention 7 WR and 1 OR. But how tough is it to break the WR for both 100m and 200m sprint? Prior to this games, Phelps held 4 of the 5 WR for the individual events and the one he missed, he still failed to break but he still won it with an OR. The remaining 3 relay medals were contributions from his team and not his sole effort. Yes Bolt entered with also 100m WR under his belt but 200m WR? Michael Johnson was a legend of his time and his 200m WR of 19.32 sec was way faster than Bolt's PB of 19.6+ sec. For Bolt to break a 12 year WR is almost impossible.

And for Jacques Rogge to say that Bolt is a showboat and lacks sportmanship etc, BOO! to him. How many people were glued to their TV juz to watch his race? Obviously they LOVE him =)

dulls of year 4
A night out with everything except SCHOOL =) Top it with nice food, good company and OLYMPICS. I actually feel that a semester apart actually brought us closer together.

We shall wait for Jess's ULTIMATE plan of uniting the whole of BIE to materialize. I'm happy as of now.

a shoes affair
Sprinting in heels (min. 9cm) and the winner gets S$2800. Russians and their shoes.


How many shades of brown shoes does a guy need?


Enough is never enough. My mum used to nag on the number of shoes I own. Now she simply wears them.

greatest races of all
If you're not really into the Olympics, there are 2 MUST WATCH races which everyone will be talking about. One reflects how much the tiniest difference matters while the other shows pure dominance. Both are legends in their arena. I don't think there have been that many WR broken in any of the past games. Incredible =) Comparing how SG is willing to pay their athletes S$1.5 million for 1 gold medal whereas US is only paying Phelps US$1 million for 7 or more gold medals.

Men's 100m Butterfly - Flying Fish Michael Phelps
Men's 100m - Lightning Bolt

Fedex still walks away from this games with a gold medal.

OMG Federer is out of Olympics =( He's juz on a bad streak.
I think all tennis players study how to attack Federer's weakness through the years like TYS. I feel that beating him seems like a bigger deal then winning the medal.

reluctantly
I realized that most people have contacted their FYP profs while I'm still in the "don't contact him, FYP hasn't started" mode. So I finally emailed him and met for the first time since I didn't take BN3401 and have no idea how he's like. I've however heard how sucky he is and all the crappy things associated with BN3401 and BN4406. SIGH.. Anyway, our meeting was a crisps 5 mins where he basically threw me my senior's FYP report and that's it. He mentioned nothing about the lab I'll be working at or who I'll be working with =(

feasting of the hungry people
Lunch
My cousin bought a plasma TV worth $5000 from Best Denki and won a lucky draw of $25000! To spread the love, she booked 2 tables at Li Bai @ Sheraton Tower for Sunday Dim Sum =)

Dinner
My uncle will be posted to Shanghai for 3 years to be the regional director . My parents decided to organize a farewell dinner for him and hosted 2 tables at Pine Court @ Meritus Mandarin Hotel, each table adding up to over $1000. We had a private room =)

pre-school luncheon
Wl was in the mood for a nice brunch/lunch/high tea to mark the start of year 4. We thought who in SG would be so free to go for nice lunch on a weekday afternoon. Little did we realize it was Nat Day Eve and a very good day to get married and we couldn't get a table without reservations. So after jumping a few restaurants, we settled for this.

Original Sin/Mediterranean Cuisine/Vegetarian Food

I don't remember seeing 'vegetarian' when entering the restaurant. Throughout lunch, we were guessing whether they are juz stingy with their set lunch or are they truly vegetarian as there wasn't a tinge of meat in any of our dishes.


3 Veggie filled Happy ladies. Apparently if you eat too much veggie, your intestines might lengthen and it's not good. See I told you veggie isn't good.

We then stopped by this dessert place Dolci to take a glimpse at their pretty cakes. Despite how full we were, the cakes were too irresistible so we bought 1 to share. It's chocolate with passionfruit, coconut and blah blah blah.. YUMS =)

Chiew, you will totally love it. Shall go there some day.

i'm already hating it

This is gonna be a terrible semester. Nothing has gone smoothly. Only 7 freaking TEs are offered, out of which 1 is a graduate module and 3 involve signals/programming. I have to read 3 modules (2 TEs & HR) this semester and 3 next semester (2TEs and BN3401). Tissue Engineering was an obvious choice for most people but I couldn't decide on by 2nd TE. By the time I decided to take ME4291 Finite Element Analysis in round 1C, the min. bid was 4000+ so it's out. I then considered doing EE3601 Bioinstrumentation with my EE friend but I lacked the freaking pre-req of BN3401 so it's out again. Long story short, a senior told me that BN4406 Biophotonics And Bioimaging would be useful and relevant to my FYP so despite how foreign the module sounds, I'm taking it. I haven't even started on HR. The bloody module is offered in both semesters but somehow, BIZ segments engineering students, some departments to take in sem 1 and others in sem 2. BIE happens to be in sem 2 and we are blocked from bidding. Did BIE inform us about that? No, they juz recommended us to take it in sem 2. So after countless emails, visits to dean's office, calls to relevant people from us who need to do it this sem, they gave it to us. It juz doesn't make sense for them to block year 4 students and offer it to year 3s.
The only slight consolation is that my senior did the exact same FYP topic as me so hopefully he can brief me through some stuffs and get me started.

BN4301 Principles of Tissue Engineering
BN4406 Biophotonics and Bioimaging
HR2002 Human Capital in Organizations
FYP Non-invasive optical measurement of blood glucose


All these crap will kill 3 days and I'll have the next 4 days to recuperate.

duties of a girlfriend
Since I'm no longer working and school has yet to start, I've assigned myself a new task.

Give Nithe morning call (~6.30am)
Send him to NUH (~7.10am)
Fetch him from NUH (~7pm)

He's so depressed from SIP, having to spend over 12hrs at work, night calls, weekend shifts and NEEDLES! Even though SIP only last for a month, life as HO is pretty much like that or worst and it's for the whole year.

Pre Olympics Water Polo
Some Olympics spirit to countdown to the big event. Apparently, they are here to 'acclimatize' to the weather. In what way is Singapore's air and climate the same as China?


Some last minute prep talk and 'modeling' of their bods.

I'm taking their trucks not asses k..

After the match, we GRABBED the hotties for photos! There were many more but I was shy =)

These are the average heights of their players. Average of above 2m.
