its a new semester and the final year... for some, its the final semester. so where do we go from here, lets all keep in touch and remain friends alright?
it feels like it has only been a year, and yet, we have been through a lot. some bonds were forged, some were weakened, though very much cherished.
so many things have happened in these few years of my university life and i wouldn't have changed anything, for they are what have made me today.
these two months of lifebuilding courses, thank you boss, thank you szerk, thank you everyone, for showing me the love, concern and guidance to get my life right.
there are many challenges that await me and i look forward to enjoying the challenges.
where shall i walk from here?
where shall we walk from here?
In You I trust and give my heart.
Lord, open the eyes of my heart.
I pray....

決めた
コンサートが終わったの時、クレリネットを吹かない。時間がないだから、残念。もし時間があたら、もっと感慨する、続けるが欲しい。
しかし俺は今時間がない、それに疲れた。いつも寝たい、元気じゃない。
友達は外国で留学する時の写真はとてもきれいね。俺は頭が悪いだと思う、留学がでかない。
学生の時間は早くて、短くてだと思うだね。
誰が俺のクレリネットが欲しい？
眠い。。。。疲れちゃた。。。一人では寂しい。。。。

Uberest Rarest FREE DAY!
ok! finally after 3 semesters of NO free days, I FINALLY get a feel of how a free day feels like again. Then again, I'm supposed to be studying for 2 midterms tomorrow, so what am I doing online? Because I've been awake for half an hour, and nothing seems to be going into my silly brain even though I've been reading for the past 20 minutes (hey, I had to brush my teeth, wash my face and have breakfast right?) so I went to visit a few blogs, made a few comments and since its so EARLY (I don't know what is considered late anymore considering I slept at like 3am) no one is really online to chat to.
Enough of senseless rantings. I should get down to my studies.
the feeling of emptiness... will you fill it for me?

Geography Field Trip
went on a "field trip" for our project for GE1101E and we went around to the various embassies on our target list for some information.
Turns out that overall, asking about embassies is a very sensitive topic as warned by Dr Pow, and we had a large mixture of reactions to our presence there and attempting to find out more information.
From the friendly to the not so friendly, it was an eyeopener experience nonetheless.
Looking forward to seeing how we can get the project done in time!
on a sidenote, teh tarik ice cream at island creamery is SHIOK! thx yokes!!
and jos and neha for the company yesterday.
super tired out.. still want to snooze some more, but my books are all staring at me and nagging away. *studies*

apologies..
to yoke khee and jocelyn for pang seh-ing the meeting on thurs (for lecture) and friday (after 4pm) cuz i didn't feel well enough to drag this sorry behind to school.
even though it was made up (sort of) online, it still isn't the same as meeting up. we really need to get the project going! i'll make it up by working extra hard on the research! and doing up more notes for the 2nd half of the term.
erps! mid-sem break is almost upon us! eeeks!

SEP
didn't make it for the next sem cuz its too late for one thing, and the economics department has a "standard" of CAP 3.5 to even qualify. i mean, its stated CAP 3.0 on the NUS site, so why the heck do you have CAP 3.5 for the department and isn't stated like -anywhere- that i look? sigh..
anyway, pull CAP again for this sem and next and i might have a chance to go in my final sem.
someone kill me please or i'll end up killing myself studying.
thinking of dropping band to clear time to study and mug like a madman. shld i? sigh

2008
2007 is over and 2008 is here. so many things have happened in 2007, and I'm grateful for everything that has happened over the past year.
Being able to serve in the ex-co of nusws has been a great learning experience. playing for both concerts was a really nice feeling, even though i wanted to quit halfway through the year, and didn't really want to go to italy for fear on a drain on financial resources (which it was actually so i'm not intending to go for any trips that are not saved for by myself) elections wise wasn't that nice as things didn't go as i expected and i made quite an odd decision really.
its 2008 now and i dont know if i'm going to continue to play for planet earth even though i've practiced for it. supposed to submit the signup form for the concert the week after. really hesistant to spend that bit less time with family in exchange for the band. time wise, its not a problem, but sometimes, that tug to spend time for family is there rather than to spend time out with friends, even though they are really fantastic company like zijun, xinhui, khee nguen, ian, huili, ruixiang, teng wen, jin xun, song wee, joel, kee jun, tze ting, yoke khee, fairoz, edna, xiuyu, huikoon, cheng huat, wan ting, jasmine, sharon, fairoz, zheguang, cedric (both of you), and everyone else and of course, mr leonard tan for being so nice all the time and trying so hard to bring us all to the next level of music.
school wise, 2007 has been a year of ups and downs. i broke down in yr1sem2 and flunked my studies. y2sem1 was ok given 6 modules and i really enjoyed learning all my subjects even if i didn't do that well for some. great friends around, like ben, stephanie, cheryl, vengky.. even though i drifted away from some, i became closer with some others. makes me feel odd sometimes to see people that i was really close with in yr1sem1 drift so far away. missing the seniors that have graduated like charlene and i'm so going to miss qin yan the upcoming semester. i always looked forward to japanese classes even though we were next to each other in class to meet up for that lunch session and we could just talk nonsense. haha..
family wise, my family has stabilised over the past year. i still miss you, dad. things are a lot better now and will continue to do so. as they say, time heals all wounds? i'll find more time to go and visit now that its one module less (i hope) for this semester.
relationships wise, all in due time. Its in your hands my Lord. I'm sure you have it all mapped out for me and I'll follow you, with your words in my heart.
resolutions for the year, firstly, to lose some more weight. haha.. make more friends and strive for better grades. hopefully SEP goes through and I'll get to go around the world sightseeing. Looking around for tuition jobs still, and with luck it can be found. pay off my laptop loan by this year and get a new laptop next year along with a SLR. my clarinet wise.. i might sell off or just give it to jinxun or ruixiang should i stop playing. who knows?
everyone else, happy new year!!

the question that haunts me
ok.. i couldn't do this question in the exam and it has been haunting me for the past 2 days. so i'm posting it here in the hope that it will stop haunting me. question has been paraphrased.
Take a Robinson Crusoe economy. He has to decide on how much to produce and how much to demand. his production function is x = sqrt(l) and he has only one unit of time, 1. his leisure is denoted as n, and his work is denoted as l. his utility function is u(x,n) = ln(17x) + ln(n).
solve for the competitive equilibrium.
ok.. its out and i shall hope that it stops haunting me.

Famine in Niger
This is from yoke's blog and the clip just makes me feel nauseated as an economics major. How can such things be happening in this world that we live in? How can we substantiate the food that we are eating even, when such things are happening? We aren't talking about ten or twenty years ago, this is just -two-, i must emphasize, -two-, years ago.
So much for welfare economics, so much for public finance, so much for developmental economics, so much for economic theory, when they can't even -see- such atrocities happening. Its in the news, it may be just one side of the story, there's UN presence there, there's obvious monitoring from IMF and World Bank, there's international aid presence there, so why the heck are they ignoring the basic principle that people should sell off excess only after their basic needs are met?
isn't the right to food and drink for survival part of the basic rights of all human kinds as stated in the Genova convention? so is all that just plain talk and all fluff?
anyway, the video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw9OARpp-KI
just watch and form your own opinion.
mine: disgusted

mid terms
got them all back...
pleasantly (not) pleased with myself (ie: i feel dumb and stupid)
mis-read instructions and answered out of point for my philo essay, though i still passed, i dont know how
missed vowel sounds for my japanese resulting in major loss in marks
misinterpreted and copied the critical values wrongly for metrics
drew graphs wrongly for micro
i need sleep. hate these careless mistakes.
da capo is tmr.. time flies~ hope it goes well and i'll at least have something to look forward to cheering myself up over the weekend.
something good to end the entry i guess: grade A for my EC2373 paper! my FIRST and ONLY A that i've received so far in NUS. >.< though the final grade is still murky right now...

开学的第一天
开学了。
有些事情，不知道是否是好，是坏， 但是知道了，也无法把时间的手把往后转，也只好一直走下去，找到自己想要找到的答案。
有些时候，不知道是否做了正确的选择。但是，选择了就不能后悔，要接受再走下去到下一个终点。
祖您永远幸福快乐
