Merry xmas! Xmas is NOT over!!! As u can see, im in denial =P. Thanks for all the well wishes and gifts!
Xmas wasnt too great actually, my dad returned home from Australia the previous night and i wanted to go out, but it didnt feel right abandoning my family. So i ended up spending time with my family, didnt really do much the entire day, nothing much on TV either. Grr... Channel 5 showing re-runs of movies that should be in the museums! I wonder how they manage to win those awards with such crappy programmes.
School is starting in a week =( NoOOOoooOooO i shudder at the thought of school. JC2, i cant believe it, A level year... I havent done anything academic at all this entire holiday, i havnt started only holiday assignments and i dont intend to untill school starts. Xmas is SOOOOo not the time to start on homework, the atmosphere just isnt condusive for work =P. Me and my excuses haha. Time to start preparing New Years resolutions!! hope that for once i can adhere to them hehe

YAY! I have finally managed to fix my com! Thanks to everyone who has "attempted to help" me fix it, hehe. My uncle was the one who managed to fix it for me, hes a computer tech, so phew!
Incase u havnt already noticed, ive gotten rid of my old blogskin. Fixed my com, was too excited to sleep, while downloading all the programs back onto my computer i decided to change my blog skin to kill some time and here it is. Im not super obsessed with the click five or anything but couldnt find any other nice skins so i settled for this.
My week long job attachment finally ended last friday. I cant exactly call it an enjoyable experience since i was glad that it has finally ended, and yet i cant say that i hate it too. I dont feel that i have learnt much from the attachment because the tasks that i was assigned to do was rather simple and brainless, i guess its cuz the staff there were too busy with their own work to teach me more complex stuff and it wouldnt be worth their time since i would only be there for 1 week.
X-mas is next week! Going shopping for presents in the next couple of days, need to see how much spare change i have to see who much presents i can buy =P Someone suggested that i save myself the trouble and just buy myself a big present haha. Anyway, to my classmates, im planning to get u all something when school opens! (IF i have enough money remaining)
On Saturday there was this pre-christmas celebration @ bukit batok CC. I was there together with several interactors and we set up a couple of game stalls there! It was quite fun although i got to see the kiasu side of Singaporeans. The games were free of charge (in the xmas spirit of giving i guess?) and we had prizes too, so its basically like free gifts. There were some black sheep who kept Qing over and over again just to get our free gifts and i was quite disgusted at that. However, it was generally a very fun experience and i hope to get the opportunity to be a part of something like this again in the future!

Yesterday was the first day of my week long job attachment. It wasnt exactly something that i was looking forward to since it is after-all a JOB attachment. Well, nothing much could be said about it apart from "boring". After being given a few initial tasks that took me less than 30 minutes to complete, i was left to do nothing for the next 30 mins. I went around asking if there was anything that i could assist with and only then did i receive a couple of tasks that were simple and mindless! Most of the tasks i did involved filing in one way or another, ranging from photocopying/printing documents or updating their computer database which all led to more filing!
This morning, the "Handicraft Day" that i have been planning for the past couple of months was FINALLY held. That is a huge load off my shoulders, quite literally too.. (had to bring heaps of stuff for this, had a really heavy bag!) This event was planned mainly to "provide entertainment" for the kids at a particular youth centre, we hoped to entertain them by teaching various handicrafts such as balloon sculpture and folding of various origami. I have to say that it was a rather bizzare experience. My parents have been telling me throughout my life how much of a trouble maker i was when i was young and i cannot truly say i understand how they felt even untill today. Some of the kids there were so hard to get along with, talk about spoilt brats. And yes, ive had my share of experiences with spoilt brats... been in the AC family since 6 duh (kinda a brat myself? =P) But on the whole, it was an enjoyable experience. Of course, the rest of the kids were very friendly and served as a huge encouragemet for me! i never really liked small kids, i always believed that they are naive little creatures who have yet to experience the murderous nature of humanity. Always asking silly questions, being stubborn and annoying, comparable to pests! THAT is what i USED to think about them. Now my opinion of kids turned 180 degrees! Come to think of it.. maybe i shud try to get to know my neighbours little brother better instead of shrugging him off as a pest =p (im no paedophile!!!)

4 words : my com go boom!
Not really boom... but its spoilt. All this started because of Blizzard, World of Warcraft had a patch for new content, when it tried installing it, my computer just suddenly crashed. So now i have to reformat it, but the problem is that i dont have the CD required. All my data in my com also lost... from games to photos to notes. Yes, i do my notes for school on my computer.... Luckily i still have my songs on my ipod yay!
I also got a work attachment next week with some engineering firm. I dont quite have a clue what im going to be doing there but its apparently a desk job. Dress code for such jobs for guys is generally shirt + long pants right?? Im so dead... i highly doubt the shirts i own are suitable, whereas my dads clothes that he didnt bring along with him to Australia are all so "uncle"!! The only long pants i have are school pants... do jeans count? I believe that im going to have to spend my "pay" on clothes before i even start working.
Oh and if you are wondering how im posting this since my com went boom, im using a laptop. Secretly using my neighbours wireless internet... muahhahahaha (hope i dont get arrested -.-")

Checking my horoscope used to be part of my daily routine, however it no longer is. Now, it isnt mainly cuz the predictions fail to come true. I never quite believed in such stuff... i dont like the idea of my destiny or fate being controlled by something unknown. However the accuracy of my past horoscopes baffled me.. and i was forced to believe in them to a certain extent.
I believe in god, a god who wants to improve things in a large picture. This means that this improvement might come at a price, and i might not be the one who experiences this improvement. In fact, nobody i know or care for might experience it. Call me selfish, but i dont really care unless the improvement doesnt come to someone i care abt. So i dont really like to "leave it in the hands of god" because it doesnt guaruntee me a banefit. This is of course only my PERSONAL belief, no offence to anyone.
I am going to take things into my own hands... no longer will i stand by and hope that things take a turn for the better... This shall my my "pre New-Year resolution"!! I am going 2 get this issue resolved before 1st Jan!
