I'm not dead. Tnx 4 asking.
Well, 2day was d last non-exam day of college. Final exams on Mon. In 5 days time, i would be graduating from FIC. Time flies when ur under pressure eh? To commemor8 my imminent graduation, i've changed the theme of my blog to a more programmer-friendly theme. If u dun understand any of the codes or syntax, feel free to sign up for Taylors Foundation in Computing. They hold tea parties for you b4 u graduate u noe.
To think that doing one year of FIC in TCPJ = time taken 4 me to write 20 posts. Boy, i must've been extremely bz.
Unfortunately for me, Aus Unis don't rly accept my foundation course. U cannot believe the troubles i (actually my mom) went through in order to get into a Syd Uni. Fortunately, there was at least one uni willing to accept me. So i guess i'll be going to Macquarie Uni by mid-Jan next yr.
To be fair, TCPJ wasn't a complete waste of time. In the space of a year in FIC, i hv learnt a great deal. For example, i found out that i am not bad in C coding, I now know the basics of JAVA and HTML, I haz made a short movie (more on this l8r) n lvled up my photoshop skillz. Of course these are just some of the minor changes. Most importantly, i've managed to make a number of good frens. Well some of them are pretty good, others...just plain evil! However, without a doubt, the biggest change i went through in the course of 08' would have to be Jit's + Dennis's + Wei's corrupting me wit d otaku virus. Haizz...oh well, like dey say "If u can't beat them, join them". I am only too happy to oblige =J
P.S: I like megane/meganekko characters but tsunderes will do just fine. De arimasu.

The following are 4 autistic children in the Ampang Dyslexia Association Centre who I have had the privilege of teaching, playing with and being an abang to during my recent July hols. I am grateful to my mom, the association an to God for giving me a chance to do something constructive during my hols instead of slacking of like some of my classmates.
Shahrir is the probably the one who became the most attached to me. Cikgu Mariam (who's the Teacher-in-charge) tells me that everytime Shah hears my car pull up in the driveway he starts asking "Abang datang?" Shahrir's disabilities is known in the medical world as a "Global", this means that he suffers from everything. A bit of dyslexia, a bit of autism etc. That being said, he's actually quite good. In fact he'll be graduating from the Autistic class into the normal classes. Unfortunately, he's still a bit lax when it comes to sharing.
Iskandar is just soo cute, complete with baby-face, long eyelashes, mischievous yet innocent demeanour and child-like fascination with everything. He's afraid of loud noises which explains his phobia of rain, specifically rain & thunder (just like Haruhi Fujioka!). Also, when there are loud noises nearby, he closes his ears and starts spouting gibberish/random phrases like "Good Morning Teacher" and most commonly "Osa, osa, osa". You just have to hear how cute he is!! His favourite word is radio and he has a strange attachment to said device. Academically, he get's distracted really easily however, he's forte is maths. He can easily count up to 40 whilst the others falter around the 20 mark. Loli-shota anyone?
Chun Hong is well...for lack of a better word..untamed. Seeing as he's quite "new" to the class, Cikgu Mariam is still trying to get him to sit still. He regularly cries but the way he cries is hard to describe. He often cries out in LOUD bursts (Iskandar normally starts sputtering gibberish at this point) but then he'll get distracted quickly and settle down just as rapidly...it's a really weird potentially ear-drum perforating experience. Beneath his 'untamed' exterior, I believe he is normal. It's just that fate dealt him a bad hand. He has a tendency to spout completely random phrases and sing random (usually Chinese) songs. His favourite is CNY songs but also sings a medley of english songs.
Edzra (I think this is how his name is spelt). I know little about this boy since his attendance to the school is quite irregular. He has OCD and throws a tantrum when his schedule gets messed up. I think his disability is something like severe dyslexia. Accordingly, he takes a loooong time to learn something. His speech is also kinda slurred and difficult to hear. He loves puzzles.

It may be may holidays but that doesn't mean i can have a break!
You see, i've somehow been chosen as the team coordinator for this sketch i have to do for my course's July intake students. It's supposed to be a short, humourous 15-min sketch bout the daily life of a college student. Problem is, we've only got like 5 mins of material. So far we've got a blur class scence, a scence about latecomers & evil lecturers, dissinterested students and one about dismissal. If you have any ideas for new scenes or add-ons, pray tell. I need this by the end of this week.
Please, please make my life easier. Tnx.

Well, well..been a busy (yet fun) week so far especially the weekend. I won't bore u wit d details of college life as most of my readers r aldy in coll, instead i'll skip straight to IFF!
In case you've been wondering IFF is an acronym for International Food Fiasco. It's a big deal for us ex-SSG students cos it's the one time of the year we can congregate in our beloved high-school whilst wearing anything we please (i think i saw sum1 going 4 a lolita look last yr...it wasn't pretty >.<"). Also we get to meet with old friends and even older teachers. For the benefit of a lousy traitors who didn't come, i met up wit
1. Luther, whose hairstyle is like Aang from Avatar, also he isn't manlier or anything (NS failure wakaka)
2. Ming, who isn't as tanned as i tot she would be, she is also suffering from post-NS humour deprivation and is laughing at my jokes...kinda reminds me of Aika Hiiragi of Mx0.
3. Kim, i also expected her to be more "tanned", unfortunately she was more sensible and did not laugh at all my jokes (T.T)
4. Siew Por, lugging around his huge camera as usual.
5. Zuhdi, also changed his hairstyle with much better results.
6. Chin Meng, this guy is....unchanged and better that way.
7. John, always a pleasure to talk to.I must saw I'm a bit disappointed wit not being able to see En. Adenan. I got to meet Mrs. Andrew, Ms. Mano and Physics God Khoo-sensei. I also met the ever fierce Ms.Lim tho (i saw right through her cheerful facade). Yes, Rita. I did say hi for you...unfortunately she replied by forcing me to buy her currypuff.
Then came Sunday. It's very nice getting together with Josh, Ming, and Wei. Together we are collectively known as Skinny Bouncy L-mo cos Daryl (Skinny) + Ming (Bouncy) + Wei (L) + Josh (emo). Thus the greatest threat to world peace was born...we leave no candy, chocolate, tic tac, washing detergent store undefiled! Mwahaha!

No, this isn't about Milton's
Paradise Lost, i'm talking bout MY lost paradise. Haiz...bros came back almost 2 weeks back. Fortunately the competition for computer territory wasn't as intense as before. (tnx to IFF for keeping my bro bz). Alas IFF is over and the competition are beginning to heat up!
As usual, i am the victor cos i can throw my seniority around! However since returning from Aus, they hvn't stop talking bout it as per usual. And as usual i would ignore them however this time is different! Why? Cos they got a chance to play Halo 3 !!
*jealous* When I was there all i got to play was Gears of War. It's a nice game mind you but it's just not...Halo.
Hey guess wat! I've got really really BIG news for all y'all...my dad's company just gave us a sweet new E200 Kompressor! YAY!! Well, this is big news to me..once again, Mercedes-Benz has reaffirmed its position as my favourite car manufacturer.
Paradise Regain'd (again, not Milton's but mine)
For Jm:As far as Eoin Colfer's books go, Airman is less whimsical than his Artemis Fowl books. It's more down to Earth and features no fairies, magic nor child prodigies..no wait, Airman does have yet another well-gifted young boy. The book has many references to medieval France and England, as well as fencing, aviation history but don't worry, there not very deep. In my opinion, the book could've and should've been longer. Overall, it's still a good read. I'd consider it slightly above Artemis Fowl but maybe dat's just cos Conor Broekhart is much more human than the untouchable Artemis Fowl (the guy got physically AND psychologically tortured, all b4 his 16th b'day). In case your already reading the novel, Uncle is my favourite character.
