Great tiring day.
I fell asleep last night while using my macbook. Anyway, this morning I woke up at 6am without my alarm. Faster packed my stuffs for photography, washed up and headed out at around 6.30am. Usually if I take the morning train to work, predicted timing is about 20-30 minutes to reach the interchange. Who knows, Saturday morning LRT frequency is so slow. I waited for 15 minutes beforereaching boarding one to reach Sengkang MRT. And waited for another 4-5 minutes, which usually, it takes 1-2 minutes for the train to arrive. Well, in the end, I reach the meeting place at 7.30am instead of the stipulated 7am. I was so pai-sey that I was late and made the rest wait for me.
Well, the photography session was great. First stop, Fort Canning Hill. Well, the weather was great with the good sun-shine. But it turn out so warm upon reaching 10am. The rest was feeling so hungry so we walked down to Funan IT Mall to have the 2nd-round of "Breakfast" at Subway. Then followed by coffee at "Ya Kun Coffee". We were discussing about the next outing. Then the topic goes until we talk about overseas photography trip. Anyway, after coffee, we went shopping at Cathay Photo. And I got my tripod finally.
Next up, we walked along Boat Quay to find the Asian Civilisation Museum. And we happened to find the MediaCorp filming along the way. Saw Terence Chao and Jessica Liu. Well, we sat down to watch them film while we relax and cool down from our long walk along the river under the hot weather. Well, the chilling session was short, and we proceed to visit Steve McCurry's Exhibition at ACM.
It was interesting to see the photos by this famous photographer. He's the guy who shot the famous Afghanistan girl which appeared in National Geographic magazine more than 20 years ago. This exhibition titled, "The Unguarded Moment" suggested a vast tapestry of human experience and his chance encounters during his travels of over 30 years throughout Asia. And yes, and we can't go see the "Kang Xi" exhibition which is also going on without paying. The "Kang Xi" exhibition is opening to the public for free from 6pm-12am if I am not wrong for this weekend. So people, do drop by the ACM if you got the time to see the exhitbition.
Well, after visiting the Museum, we are all tired from the day, and relax at crap at Burger King for 1-2 hours before heading home. It was really a fun and interesting day out. But now I am super tired. Haven't been out for such long hours in a day.

十二星座的性格，准到令人心痛！
天蝎座
天蝎座是一个强烈的星座。他们的爱与恨，他们的人生观点，他们的生活方式，都充满了强烈二字，他们强烈的爱 憎，强烈的需求，强烈的追求＆索取，而这些强烈的成分，也使天蝎座变得倔强而坚强。 沉默外表下的暗潮汹涌. 天蝎座的外表往往看起来很老实，他们看 起来安分守己，中规中矩，并不会第一眼就给人留下深刻印象。但是如果以为他们真的如此一般，那就是大错特错。 天蝎们内心总是暗潮汹涌，他们对人生有着 强烈的眷恋＆希冀，他们渴望权利，渴望金钱，更渴望爱情。他们常常不动声色，让人误以为他们沉默乏味。但是那其实只是他们在审时度势的不断观察。 他们 的目标其实一贯都很明确，但他们是小心谨慎的，他们从不轻易暴露自己心中的想法。 他们有着长期观察和考验的过程。不论是他们谋求一个职位还是得到一个 人。 一旦他们感到有把握，他们就会立刻出击，动作迅速，毫不犹豫，而且往往一击致胜。 强烈而持久的激情 天蝎们的暗潮汹涌，令他们非常具有爆发 力，而他们的爆发力之后又有着强烈持久的激情。 这或许也可以作为天蝎何以总是排在排名前五的状况。他们诞生的时间，恰是步入中年时期的开端，个人开始卯 足全力，以期能在未来达到巅峰。所以，天蝎们具备了许多分裂不融合的特质，而也使他们拥有比其他星座更多的持久能力。他们富有激情，而且是长期持久的激 情。这在其他星座那里是鲜见的。他们如果认定了的人或事，是很难发生喜新厌旧的状态。所以他们最善于婚外情。因为他们太强烈，需要太多，而他们又如此稳 定，所以可以保持更多。 表里不一的报复心态 天蝎们表面看来并没有那么强烈的特质，他们往往显得文静柔弱。但是他们内心坚如磐石，他们有着强烈的自 我守护及占有欲望。但是天蝎们并不是真的那么心狠手辣。他们确实会坚定不移的报复那些曾经伤害他们的人，但是更多时候，天蝎们只是在心里想想而已。他们绝 对不宽容，但是他们也并不是真的有他们自己想象中的心狠手辣，即便是成功报复后，他们也往往会自己承受一段时间的痛苦煎熬，这令天蝎们反复焦灼，也更体现 了天蝎座矛盾的性格。 极端矛盾的性格组合 虽然矛盾是人生的一大特征，但是没有比天蝎座更能体现这个词汇含义的星座了。这个星座的人天生就在强烈的 矛盾感中度过。 这源于他们出生的时间就是开始尝试交融各种互相对立的矛盾事物的阶段。 他们的表现有时候非常奇怪，让人觉得他们神秘莫测，他们对人的 方式有时候非常晦涩，让人揣摩不到他们的真实意图，你以为他们所作所为是因为想要得到A，而真实答案是，他们要的可能不是A也不是B＆C，而是D！ 所以 要尝试了解天蝎座人，确实需要经过漫长的磨合过程，要适应他们突然狂躁突然沉默的性格特征。在天蝎们要真正接纳一个人的时候，他们的状态是反复无常的，但 是经过了这段时间的斗志斗勇后，天蝎们就会将你真正接受，而且基本能做到不离不弃。 天蝎座们许多人穷其一生都会感到焦灼＆痛苦，因为他们的欲望太强 烈＆执着，而他们的性格又异常的倔强和坚强。他们需要的不仅仅是成功。其实他们常常是成功的，但是因为他们永远奋进的执着理想，和他们对美好事物的强烈占 有欲望，使他们一生都在不端追寻而无法停下脚步，享受安逸的生活现状。天蝎们可以考量常常同双鱼们相处。从他们那里能学习到悲天悯人的纯真情怀，也能逐步 放下紧张焦灼的状态。

An old friend
I remember yesterday when I was lunching with some colleague at the summit, I saw this lady whom look so familiar. I immediately recognise her as "Doris". I dare not go over to greet her in fear of recognising the wrong person. Well, it has been 5 years since we graduated from poly.
So I msn her this evening to confirm if it was really her. So it turn out it is really her who was eating at the summit with her colleagues. She's work with NPark and only been at the company for about 3 months. She has found a fun job being out with the nature, and sun-tanning and moving about most of the time. Well, this friend of mine, she has been my msn Khakis since poly days. I would say she's one of the good friends whom I think can click with. Well, its good to see an old friend again after so many years. And I feel more excited than when I got my exams results the previous day.
Awww..I really miss those fun and interesting poly days.

I passed!!!
Yes...I just received my results this afternoon and I pass all my subjects. Isn't it great?
Anyway, I was a bit reluctant to check for my results at 4pm today. I did some survey with some of my friends..and they pass the subjects that I thought I have high chance in failing. Anyway, it turn out the grades weren't that bad, and I did pass all. Well this time round, the grades are quite similar to last semester, and I scored a average 3.5 gpa. And with the passing subject getting C+, the rest are within the A to B range. So guess well, my two and a half year of hard work is finally paid off.
I am not a very smart student who could memories and remembered all the stuffs that I studied and output them during the examinations. However, as an average student, I try to pass every subject and not to fail any and repeat. But the disappointing part is, most often I am getting Bs instead of As..I just don't understand why it is so difficult to get an A grade...maybe I am destinated to be "B" grader? Anyway, all about the good news, I am happy that I clear all my credits and now officially announce that I am graduate with a degree. Lolz.. Qualifications are real hard to earn these days.
Let's wait and see if I could drop my honours and recieve my certification in October convention.
