Yes, our 1st, and possibly last Class Chalet was over, last Friday to Sunday.
Friday: Meet Ben & Adriel in school to check up on internship posting, and yes, I got posted to MOE. After that, we took a cab (Each paid $6) to Pasir Ris, White Sands and ate at Swensens...Very expensive...Anyway, we reached the Chalet at around 4pm, and almost went to play soccer straight away. The ground was extremely muddy. Adriel was going about his usual craze again (lost control). Ben did some extremely funny crap, showing the "Angsana" around trying to distract people. After the soccer session, we went back to proceed on with the BBQ. A group went out to KTV while me, glenn, zhiwei and xuanjie stayed back to play the "Blow Cow King", the loser have to take a sip of beer. Zhiwei was extremely unlucky and lost like 50% of it, most where he "catch" and the amount was just right, or being caught with 1 less dice.
Later that night, we "bluff" our way all the way from like 1am to 3am before "deciding to sleep". We never actually did. We were doing all kind of crap in the dark like watching "Ah Lang" and talking lot of bullshit. Mengzhi was extremely gay & tried to "violate" me...
Saturday: Bluff more, Blow more cows, play more soccer, play more mahjong. Later, we hired 11 bikes. Went back to the chalet and played "murderer" game. From eye twitching to hand wave plumping...We ride the bikes to bowling, then began the "true ride of the life". We ride from 1:30 to almost 4 to reach a "ulu" coffee shop to eat a piece of roti prata, then ride another 2 hours back...very shagged...and my butt is still pain now...
Sunday: Sleepz...and more sleep. Finally it's time to go home...And when I reach home? Sleep from 1pm to 10pm...

Holiday goals update 3
Been a freaking long 2 weeks or so. I don't know where to start, but basically the "Main Event" is the CMPB trip, which I will remember for a long long time. That place is horribly hard to get to, and I had to waste like $8 cab fare to get to and back from Redhill MRT.
Anyway, thanks to Zhiwei advice, I decided to go there in the morning instead of my appointed time of 1pm, as he suggest it would be very crowded, and if I couldn't finish it in time, I would be request to come back another day (nightmare!) Luckily, everything went pretty smoothly for me. Of course, there were embarassing moments (which I shall not mention). At the end, there's a sort of test, followed by a very very very (x100) survey...the questions asked were extremely repetitive and really peeves me. I didn't really take the test very seriously, and most important of all I've long forgotten 90% of what I've learnt in my secondary years...sigh...
Following up the trip, I've been focusing more on my NS training now. Been constantly going swimming with Mengzhi (now I can swim 6 laps when he swim 10). I remember like 2 months ago when I barely know how to swim (and don't even have to stamina to swim 1 lap). It's a huge improvement. Yesterday, I went for my first ever 2.4km run in a LONG time, and I mean it. I don't think I've run 2.4 ever since 'O' levels. That's holy 3 years! I did a "record-breaking" 14 mins...I need at least 13:10 to pass, so I better buck up!
Other than that, most of my time are spend warcrafting (dotaing...) at home. Oh, and of course, not forgetting my Portfolio! It's almost completed as I write this! It's not of "professional" quality yet in my opinion (I'm not skilled in Actionscript), but it's already a huge improvement in design if you compare to what I did merely 1 - 2 years ago...I looked through A LOT of portfolio designs & revamped my ideas various times before getting this one.
Finally...Black & White 2 gone gold! Civilization 4 gone gold! The Movies gone gold! So many games...so little time! I'll be getting them one by one in the upcoming weeks. Gonna be great fun!
Well, that's about it!

Holiday goals update 2
Alright, it was a busy busy week.
Tuesday to friday, had to go for JLPT preparation course in school. The time spent is definitely not wasted as I finally had a chance to gauage the difficulty of the test and how well I'll do...and I say, not very well. Nevertheless, I still picked up a lot of things, clear up lots of aspects of the language. My listening is still very weak although. Will try to buck up in this coming week.
Thursday, went swimming with Mengzhi. I think he quite pro...or maybe I too lousy. I can't swim for "extended" period of time -_-. Still, it was a "breakthrough" for me...I think I swim around 4 laps (back and forth), highest no I ever did.
Friday, went to Sentosa...been a long time since I went. Lots of people too. We played soccer & dodgeball (I skipped the basket). Also talk about lot of crap with toby ("wuxia" stuffs). When we're done, we kind of sat in "darkness" and see if Toby can spot us. He didn't...and he went off to the bus-stop on his own before we reveal our prank.
At the end of the day, most of them went to Serangoon to eat. Me, Zhiwei and Lamb ate at the Habour Front MRT before returning home...And when I reached Ang Mo Kio station, I message toby, and he told me they haven't even start eating yet...
So...that's a wrap.

Holiday goals update 1
Yes, I am listening to "Reaching for the Stars" album right now! Pretty cool and the majority of the songs were good. (All 4 S.H.E ones were nice too, and I like JS one) So this bring the total number of S.H.E songs to 69...cool!
Alright, for my holiday goals, today I went to Amy's house (yes the lady who asked me to teach her Computer stuffs) and earn some extra cash...the place is really far although. It's been a long time since I earned some money on my own, 2nd time to be exact. And I don't want to remind myself of the 1st.
For my Portfolio, everything is going pretty smoothly. I've came up with the basic concepts (I redraft it like 3 times), and picked up this book call "Marcomedia Flash MX 2004 Hands On Training" by Rosanna Yeung and studied it pretty throughly. So at least now I've got the basics of Flash, so hopefully I won't flop during the Internship (and this preparation can make my internship easier) Hopefully I can get the overall structure & theme of my Portfolio by the end of next week, then I can start adding in the content.
As for the NS training, I'm making good progress. Been to the gym & swimming...Ganbatte! I think I worked out a bit too much during the gym trip although...nose bleed...
P.S: he client that we're supposed to do a website for...don't know he go where die liao...GG client.
