hi all, been some time since i last blogged so this post shall be a summary of what i had been busy with recently. June for me so far has been a relatively fulfilling and satisfying month so i shall rid off the usual emo-ing posts and instead share some wonderful experience with all of u.
As mentioned in previous posts, was out of town for about a week or so at the end of may till the beginning of june period and this trip has indeed brought a number of first times to my life and they had been fabulous first times. The series of events that i had been through for the trip is indeed one that i would nt have experienced if i had sticked to my initial plans.
The only negative point that i felt was the long bus rides that wasn't really that comfortable but well, it only make a tiny part of a hugely exciting trip. most importantly, i think that the people that had gone for the trip were highly hyped-up which naturally brings out the fun. With these ppl ard, time seems flying pass. Some highlights of the trip included the genting theme parks and the four wheel drive which literally got me grabbing on for my life.
Oh genting... hmm.. one of the many first times... it was my first time up there and the weather there's chilling. A pity the weather didn't really did much favour at first. It wasn't really what i did expected but well, i did do quite a few different rides. The deepest impression that i had was the SPACE SHUTTLE which i managed to have a go and most of all, it was this ride that i had my most dreadful expression. argh!! nowhere to hide... lol.
Would anyone believe if i tell u i had intended to pose for the camera? It's really heart throbbing up there and at the instance when the ride was going down at free fall, i was literally off my seat.
NOT FOR THE WEAK AT HEART!!!
The subsequent days were mostly visiting the different places in KL and shopping. Did manage to get a some stuff in the end. It ended on a high note where all of us left M'sia. Managed to get along with ppl younger but i guess there isn't much generation gap between.. hopefully..
Had a great time with all the ppl and its a pleasant experience before i really get into NS which i don't know what's gonna happen. Nt going to think abt it at the moment and enjoy the time that i am left with.
Anyway to everyone enjoy what u all are doing!!

Continued
This post shall be a continuation of the previous one since that was done in quite a rush as i was packing my luggage for the Malaysia trip. This shall be a more detailed one and it shall be dedicated to all the people that i have met in my three yrs of studies in ngee ann poly.
Memories of the first day of life in ngee ann poly is still running deep. i remembered sitting at a corner behind the classroom cos i simply didn't know anyone nor did i feel like approaching them to hit a conversation. However, it was their friendliness that enabled to break the ice between us and this is where our journey began. I must admit that during the first year, it was just more of classmates than friends relations but somehow or rather from the beginning of second yr, most of us began to open up fully and the bonds really started to blossom from there.
Jokes during tutorials and lectures are a norm for all of us. started to hang out as a class and bunking over at their houses are very common. crapping sessions during late nights and talking abt everything under the sun has always been a pleasure as we got to know each other even better. Tests and examinations are always dreadful but i really cherish the times when we did last minute revision just few days before exams. the presence of all of these friends gave me much needed boost and motivation to persevere on. I truly appreciate the help rendered from all of them.
Coming into the final yr of studies, there is the attachment and last semester of studies. Attachment was generally alrite and know quite a few nice people and colleagues. They were friendly and humorous which made the whole attachment period past rather quickly and unknowingly. Then came the finale, before the semester even began, had to go for a 6weeks training programme at jurong island which is really a fun one though all of us had to be putting on the jumpsuit which most of us dread of. The whole training programmes were fun and managed to learn abt the process plants and did shift work controlling the whole plant itself.
Then the final semester of studies, have heard from many people that the final yr project is the toughest module and i did not know what to expect initially till i went for the first tutorial. At that moment, i thought that its gonna be a hell semester with many different modules to be accompanied with. Formed up the group that i was most comfortable with and the ones that i normally did projects and lab work with. Through the whole process of the project, encountered many different problems which i had difficulty but with supportive group mates and much needed assistance from other friends, we managed to brave through all the storms that lay ahead and we have finally reached the summit, the graduation ceremony!!
It was a special day for me as it was the first time that i put on the graduation attire though it is a little over sized, i still enjoyed the moment. Seeing other people in the same attire as me and the excitement on their faces made me felt nervous too. Nevertheless, i was able to compose myself. As the videos were played, memories of my poly life rekindled in my thoughts and a sudden heat managed to warm my heart though i was in the air-conditioned convention centre. That was truly a heart-warming video.
The graduation ceremony was immediately followed by the tea reception where i managed to capture a glimpse of memories in the form of pictures. took quite a number of them with my course mates and lecturers and will try to upload some them soon.
After which continued some catching up session at fish and co. before catching a movie at vivo city. Though i guess it wasn't my type of movie, i still enjoyed the company of all my friends and i will remember every single one of you and more outings soon!!!
Thats just abt it for now and i shall fill you in on the Malaysia trip that i enjoyed in the next post coming your way. Stay tuned for new updates. Take care everyone :)
