i think i’m losing the urge to blog. i no longer have any interest in it. maybe its time to take a break. after all nothing lasts forever.

i had no plans yesterday so i decided to go to the relatively new swimming complex in sengkang. one reason why i went is they have slides for all ages.

in fact i find this swimming pool to be much like wild wild wet. only a hell of a lot cheaper.

i did a google search so here are some pictures: http://www.post1.net/biow/entry/sengkang_swimming_complex_or_sengkang_sports_and_recreation_centre

first day of chinese new year yesterday. total amount of my red packets came up to $102.

after that went with my cousin’s family to watch a movie. ended up at great world city and watched love matters. don’t bother watching it. same jack neo rubbish. he has covered that topic before with that one no enough.

speaking of my cousin, his sister who’s in nus went to nottingham for a 6 month exchange program last saturday. ironically her brother, who i always thought was in nus, is actually in ntu.

other then my cousin i have 3 other friends who are all studying in england. if i could visit them right now i would. i haven’t been to england since 1998.

i stayed up to watch barack obama inauguration.  it was the first time i had watch a live inauguration and it sure was historic. so many people were there. i wonder if there were that many people when bush won his second term?

anyway i hope that in my lifetime obama will not be the last black president. i only hope there’ll be a hispanic president and an asian american president one day. maybe even a female president. perhaps hillary? anything’s possible although i don’t agree with her being secretary of state.

my biggest regret in the past few years is throwing away all my old school year books. all the books from primary and secondary school in singapore and macau all gone.

i rally wish i didn’t throw them away. very often when i feel nostalgic there’s nothing better then to just open a book and reminisce about years gone by. especially my year books from macau.

primary 3 in macau was when i got my very first crush on this portugese girl. i can’t remember her name now. but as far as seating position in class was concerned i was lucky to have a direct view of her. i guess it goes to show location is everything.

i only remember a few of the girls in my class. i remember them more by name than by face now. although i added 2 girls on facebook who may or may not have been in my class.

i had previously mentioned about the rather good western stall near my place called cow and chicken grill works. its branch is no longer in hougang plaza. i checked a few days ago. it has been replaced with another stall selling pasta and pizza. it looks good although i didn’t try it. perhaps in future

not much happening recently but today i finally decided to cancel my friendster account. i had been mulling over it the past few days. friendster pales in comparison to facebook.

the problem with the school has been finally solved. thank goodness for that.

due to things not being clearly explained to me, i am not able to do criminology as that is what i am emphasising on for my diploma. but i have been allowed to do my other desired option  which is deviance and social control. i will stick with the other optino which is counselling. that might just come in handy in my future career.

things aren’t looking up in school yet.

i had emailed my so-called ‘academic advisor’ on monday asking why my 2 options were changed without the school first consulting me. she turns out to be completely fucking useless. she first told me its someone else who plans the timetable. then she told me if i want to change my option i have to come down to school. i felt that talking to her was like talking to the wall. it was obvious to me she’s just putting a hat on the problem and not willing to solve it. in my opinion she isn’t fit to do her job.

i next sent an email to the principal telling her what i’m unhappy about and asking her to call me. that was yesterday. until now i have not got any calls from her and neither has she replied to my email. i’m starting to think she too isn’t fit for her job.  

a few hours later i got a call from the course consultant saying i been invited down for a meeting to talk about my problems. so hopefully everything will be worked out.

i found a link to 90’s cartoon intros. watching some of them gave me goosebumps mainly because watching it after all these years is so cool.
