Forte! My OG
As I had mentioned in previous blogs. I joined Cultural Activities Club (CAC) Freshmen Orientation Camp (FOC) in July. My orientation group is Forte! Ever since after the camp, we have numerous outings. Going for dinner, movie, KTV, celebrating birthdays, Ball (aka dinner and dance), Flag Day, watching fireworks on National Day and recently we went to Sentosa, where I got thrown into water. LOL! (p.s. nudge me for the videos). Besides al these, in school, we also meet for lunch, dinner etc... every now and then. They are really a bunch of fun-loving friends. Some even become my committee members... We become close friends within a short period of time and some even become couples. also founded someone I liked...
FEPB1! My class
Who says there's no such thing as CLASS in uni? I had a tutorial group of abut 40 people taking 4 same core modules as me. Why so big? I also don't know why. (p.s. normal class is only about 20) Well, maybe because my whole class are polytechnics! There are only 3 classes with poly grads in my course of study. That's why, I can click with them pretty well... But up to now, I only know about 10... There are Alvis, Wilson, Rachel, good in studies. Wei Yang living same block as me, very zai in programming. (his room-mate, De Hao is same course as us). Joycelyn, Desmond, who sings very well. And Jerome, the guy full of jokes. And not forgetting my classmates in poly, Poa Send and Yen Ping, who conincidently become my classmates again... And of course, my camp mate cum room mate cum classmate, Mohan.
15th CAC Executive Committee!!!
After a series of interview, nomination and rally, I finally got elected to be Orientation Director (OD) of CAC. Thanks to all who had voted me. As OD, I chair the organizing commitee of the next Freshmen Orientation Camp (FOC), and also a member of the Executive Committee.
At first, I thought that the Ex-Co (Executive Committee) people are all very serious people, especially when the first time we see each other is for Annual General Meeting. But actually they are a bunch of crazy people (even crazier than my OG!), who are very zai (aka capable) in managing people and events. In only 2 months time, we experience many unforgettable serious times and fun times together. Meetings until late night and having fun at Mid-Autumn Festival, just to name a few....
2006 FOC Main Committee!!!
Yup, this is the committee I chair. Our job is to organize the next FOC. I have 20 Main Com members (some of them from my OG!), who in turn are in charge of the sub committees, Group Leaders, Programmers, Logistics, Welfare, Publications and Publicity, and Business Managers. Total strength of 73 people... They are a bunch of fun-loving and really committed people. I'm glad that I didn't choose wrongly. We has a few dinners together before meetings, and of course birthday celebrations. We come different courses, and some even more senior than me, but we bonded quite well together. Think I haven't got to know them well enough, as rh says, we need more bonding... bonding... bonding... And bet I will be very busy raising funds in the holidays. So tell me earlier if got plans for holiday hor! haha...

(frankly speaking I don't want to associate with them much, because of bad memories at camp)... i didn't expect it to be so formal... have to wear a gown, listen to a few speeches, pledge to the University Code of Honour, watched a few performances...
10.30am, talk ended... and signed up for the flag day on wed... suppose to meet wencai for lunch at 11.30, but wait until 12.30pm still haven come...
12.30pm, met xiang, sebes and boon and went to the CCA recruitment fair... signed up for Archery Club, Emcee Club and Cultural Activities Club...

This day is NTU Students' Fund Flag Day! it's been ages since the last flag day I participate... I think that was in secondary 2...
met Anthony, Nick and Andrea on bus 199 and then lirong at boon lay mrt.. we headed to Tanjong Pagar.. on the way, we (especially lirong) took a lot of photos using Nick's phone! LOL! upon reaching there, we had lunch at the nearby hawker centre and then me and yixi began our "begging" nearby... it wasn't surprising that quite a number ask me the money go to where (after the NKF incident)... my answer was NTU student fund, endownment fund and community chest... and purposely avoid saying the fourth charity: NKF Children's Medical Fund... hehe...
at the end of 2.5 hours (2.30pm), yixi got more than 3/4 can, but I only got more than 1/4 can... guess I'm really not good in this business... then we took a break at International Plaza Burger King... after the break, we travelled to City Hall mrt (the wrong collection point), then to Raffles Place (the correct place)... Anthony, Andrea and me contiued to "beg for more", the rest went to "relax 1 corner"... this place wasn't as easy as tanjong pagar, especially when this is not the peak hours... so after some time, we also went to Clark Quay Mcdonald's to rest...
5.30pm, finally we can return the cans at the UOB plaza collection point... after that went to marina square Han's to have dinner... It's really difficult to consolidate order of 10+ people... headache! It 8pm plus when we finished dinner... at 1st want to watch movie, then decided to play pool, and end up playing arcade... as usual, i played Para Para! hehe...
reached back hostel near to 11pm... a really long day... damm tired... but slept at 1am...
Thursday, 28/07/2005
afternoon then got lectures because no lab lessons on 1st week... but got up early to use computer at Lee Wee Nam library... because I need to Self-learn 4 lectures!!! luckily the flash animation is well-prepared and understandable, also with a bit help from what I learn in poly...

1.30pm, went back library to use computer...
2.30pm to 4.30pm, lectures...
4.30pm, went loittering around and to the book shop again... bought some stationary and a book... saw Xiuwen and Xiang Xin there...

after which, went back book shop to buy calculator...
went back hall, study a bit, took a bath...
8.30pm, watched Project Superstar at the TV lounge... it was generally a better show than the guys...
9.30pm to 11.30pm, went to the Hall computer room to "try" to use the computer there, but after discovering that it's running a at 733Mghz... i gave up and went back to room to file up my notes...
11.30pm, the superstar results are out... I expected jason and silver to be out... but strangely, they managed to get in...
damm tired... slept after that...

Selamat Datang Bintan!
23/05/2005, Monday to 25/05/2005, Wednesday
yawn! wake up early in the morning 5am after only 1 hour plus of sleep... that's because of late night supper with my long time no see OG pals and also last minute luggage packing... today marks the 1st day of bintan trip with my family... it had been donkey years since i went overseas last time... as u know, it's hard to get overseas leave as a NSF...
although i wake up at 5am, but due to last minute preparation and my mother's slowness, we only left home around 7.30am and reached Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal around 8am... well, the ferry trip is actually only 40 minutes, but it cost a whoppping $45! (to and fro of course) with that money i think can fly to thailand liao lor... btw, except for my parents and siblings, my brother also brought 6 of his friends... we had our packet breakfast on the ferry, because we really didn't had time b4 that... reached Bintan around 10am (9am Indonesia Time), the ferry terminal immediately a feeling that i'm in malaysia... well, besides the furtest place i had been is Batam... after which we took a "bouncy" 20mins shuttle bus to the resort we are staying... check in time was 3pm, so we put our luggage there 1st... then it begin to rain... oh shit, that means cannot go beach liao... so we decided to take a S$3 bus ride to the nearby "Pasar Oleh Oleh Shopping Village"... (Note: It's Sing dollars, not rupiah, surprisingly most things are paid by Sing dollars)...
Pasar Oleh Oleh Shopping Village... I thought it's a shopping centre at 1st, but I was totally wrong... It's a place of a few modified wooden houses that becomes shops, resturants and minimart... quite boring actually... after some walking in the rain and in the minimart (which sells very expensive things)... we had our lunch at a simple sort-of restaurant... the fish porridge is damm big and nice, and only cost 3 bucks... after which, we went back to the resort, but still cannot check in... while waiting, we choose a cake to celebrate my mother's very belated birthday... the villa (standalone 2 storey chalet-type house) we staying is actually quite near the main lobby... eqipped with 4 bedrooms, a full kitchen and 3 toilets... the best part i like is we are given a buggy (golf car) for our own use! after some tidy up, we celebrated my mother's birthday in the late afternoon, then 4 of my brother's friends went back to sg... i also got to drive the buggy without license! (according to resort rules, only people with driving license are allowed to drive the buggy)... this had been my 1st realistic driving experience... after watching some TV, that marks the end of the day...
on tuesday, after having breakfast, we went to the beach, no mood to go down to the sea, so the rest went into the sea, while sat down to write my blog... after some time, we went back to the villa and had instant noodles for lunch, because the food at the resort is really too expensive... after which, we went to some greenary to take photos and i got a few chance to drive the buggy... then we ended up at the leisure centre... we played ping pong (only 3 ping pong tables), arcade games (limited out-dated games) and pool (only ONE pool table)... i think even the NTUC Downtown East has a leisure centre better than this lor... well, after that, we went over to the main lobby, where we started to search for a affordable dinner... i saw a can drink selling at S$3! a set meal costing S$60! OMG, everything there needs a lot of $$$... luckily, we found a meal at $17++ at an Italian Restaurant... although, it's a simple restaurant, but the service was excellence... my order is a hawailian pizza, when we all thought that it's a personal size pizza, but it's turns out to be equivilant to a medium size Pizza Hut pizza... thus, we had a fulfilling dinner... in the night, we played some board games like jenga... then that's end of the day...
wednesday, wake up, had breakfast, then went over to leisure centre... where my brother's friends tried on the traditional Indonesia costumes and took photos... then we went over to the archery to shoot arrows... finally, i fulfilled my wish on trying on archery... there, we shoot about 30 plus arrows each, mostly on the ground... hehe... but it was really quite an experience... we went back to villa after that, done some pack up and went to the main lobby, getting ready to departure... at 1pm (indonesia time), we are already on the shuttle bus to the jetty... it was a 2.30pm ferry... don't know why, i really tired and dozed off... it was 5pm (Singapore time) when we reached sg again... then we headed back home in a cab... when reached home, I done my usual stuff like surfing net and writing blogs and slept around 3am...
