Chinese new year day 1 2009

Finally, Chinese New Year day 1 is over! Collected quite a number of red packet :) Compare 21 years of Chinese New Year that I have celebrated, I think this year is quite a meaningful one because I am going to NS soon. This Chinese New Year will be my last before entering NS (National Service).

But never mind because the Ang Bao that I have collected is quite a lot!!! Then talk with my uncle about continuing studies after NS, he say he will support me and my bro to overseas or local university. Because he do not want us to stop studying due to financial matters, happy is happy but, I still want to use my own effort and money to study in university. Hope in NS I can save up to 6-7 thousand so that I can pay for my first year tution fee in university. Then after that will work as part time to earn money for year 2 tution fees and so on.. But lucky got some savings to use for study purpose if not confirm GG. Since I will be studying in university for 4 years... Then the amount would be around 6 * 4 = 24 thousand dollars. Plus all those food and transport, it will reach around 30 thousand dollars. Hope in NS can get some slack unit and also get reasonable sum of pay :)

Last but not least, hope my project can finish in the remaning 13 days!

Happy chinese new year!

James wish everyone HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

SWIMMING

This is the first time, FIRST TIME, that I ever went to NYP swimming pool to swim. Finally yesterday went and swim. Swim only 3 to 4 laps then tired liao. Swimming really did help A LOT in your physical. Because swimming train your entire body. But the worse thing is that I do not have goggle. Then I have to lift up my head and swim, really really troublesome.

But its a GREAT workout after all, since long time didn't swim liao. Those who want to train for NAPFA, but lazy to go gym, swimming is another great option for you!

Good luck for those who trying to aim for a sliver or a gold in NAPFA. GOOD LUCK

P.S : NAPFA is a Physical training test.

NTU

When to NTU yesterday to visit their school and hear their talks. First school that we are heading to is school of computer engineering. The building is very old like secondary/primary school building. That's because the school building was build on 1988-1989 forgot which year lol. Like around 20 years old, hope they can renovate the building to attract more student :). The next school that we go for is, School of Design, Arts and Media. The building is very nice, but the inside is like ok ok. But the toilet is nice I must say. After hearing the talk, I feel that both NTU or NUS also can, but if got scholarship then it would be best. But after entering the school, must take a English test. If fail then say bye bye to the school... haiz. But first must hope can get into either NUS or NTU...

Have you ever wonder how languages are form? Like example English, Chinese, German, French etc etc. For Chinese is because of surrounding like the word "people" in chinese is take shape from a human. But what about English? How people come out with A, B, C, D,.....?

I have been wondering this for very long time.... Hope can find some answer :)
