I want to post photo!

Haih, a bit sien when cannot post the photo of the float structure on blog. Took the photos of the float and statics structure which we are building just now. Very satisfied with the structure we built so far. Still got long way to completion though.

Hoong Soon says they going to buy tin cans next week. Yeah! Got free carbonated drinks to drink! Can drink Pepsi, Coke, 100 Plus.... like water!

Anyway, today finish work quite early. We (Float Engineers) stop about 1 hour early than usual.

Focus

There are just too much unsolved problems. Five weeks had past, we are still in building process. And this week, we are progressing very slowly. Every structure and mechanism doesn’t seem as easy as we thought. We faced a lot of unforeseen circumstances.
Not everyone in the team is enthusiastic about building and presenting the best float, float that represent Kent Ridge Hall. Some people always MIA half-way, sleeping or work with the just-wake-up face. Sad.
I’m not sure whether my theories correct or not, not VERY confident. I’ll just state out my opinion after picture out the whole structure in my mind. Sometimes, I feel uncomfortable when people just agree with me after I state out my opinion. Don’t know whether they really think my idea is OKAY or they just agree simply because I’m at higher position than them. POWER can be not THAT good at times.
Just want to present the best float during NUS RAG Day. Just hope can maintain the momentum and win again this year. Just want the best for the whole team. Just don’t want to lose.
Wonder how other halls doing. Great? Bet everyone pushing hard for their float also.
I must reorganize myself! This is just not me!

shut

Just some random thoughts.

Should I really care about those things or people who don't really care about me? Just feel tired to think of them.

Yeah, I'm not that noble as I think I am. Just human, normal human, with vengeance type of mindset.

Am I too sensitive to things that happened around me? Don't really trust six sense, but just feel like most of the some time things just turned out as I expected, sensed.
.................

Just want everything to be as simple as possible...

update - Target

Quite happy just now while doing RAG. Wingken and Weliam bet on the possibility of us to finish our target by morning. Wingken confidently says we can finish the structure in time. Hmm, in the end, Wingken lost. We couldnt finish it in time >.< So I guess tomorrow Wingken will change his surname to GOH Wingken, instead of YAU, while Weliam saved his coins from can drinks.

Glad that there are new things happened everyday. Before this, I always thought that days in RAG will be more or less the same everyday. Everyday do welding, cutting, grinding, cladding, testing... but it turned out that RAG is quite fun actually. Get to know different people with different personality (but last year's RAGgers have more variety of personality than this year for sure).

The most fun part RAG period is supper time. When everyone sit down, relax, eat and most important - chit-chat, or I prefer to call it gossip. Haha, everyday got different things to gossip about - Who-love-who, who-hate-who, who-argued-with-who... but of course the topic-targets are those RAG members. Quite fun, to relax a bit, laugh at others, and maybe own self, and to strengthen the bonding between RAGGERs.

PHOTOSHOOT

Took our photo yesterday afternoon. Nothing much to talk about. Just normal Committee-photo and the "KR RAG" letters formed by people.

updates [RAG]

Reached room around 6am just now. Damn shag lar... start work around 1300 and end at 0600. Cool. My brain stopped working around 5am. Just do all the grinding and welding without using brain... swt...

going to sleep now. Sien, no time to do some revision for Jap. Sleeping time also not enough, for me lar...

But glad that we are progressing slowly and steadily, with a bit behind schedule...

21st Birthday

Today its my 21st birthday.

Today, doing RAG and a bit frustrated about the quality of the work we worked so far. Everything seems to like "China-quality". Feel like telling the engineers to redo their work, but feel that shouldn't order them around too much, since they also put in a lot of effort in doing those. I'm not a very very perfectionist person. I keep on telling myself, "its okay, after cladding, everything will look nice". Not sure whether its true or not.

The whole day, I keep on asking myself, "Why am I so easily feel frustrated today? nothing really frust me that much before this. Is it because of my birthday is coming?"

I don't know what am I thinking that time. Am I hoping to hear people discussing about my birthday-is-coming?

Birthday

Around 12.10, We Liam came over to RAG area and asked me to discuss/confirm the design of the float with him. I've been running, or should I say walking from RAG area to Recre Room for quite a number of times to get the drawings, and delegate to the engineers to do.

When we entered Recre Room, the lights were half lighted. I didnt think much about it as I was still a bit frust over Weliam's idea to change the dimension of the float again... I didnt notice the cake, Chocolate Cake which is on the table. I walked to Weliam's table. That time, I heard the rest which is in the room discussing about why bringing me at the wrong time. I stunned, question mark came out of my mind. Then, I remembered that its my birthday already, 10 minutes pass 12. Then I realize Brian was in Recre room. (I think he is here to help sing birthday song for me, or is it coincidence that he came to discuss stuff? Haha, I dont know.) Then, I notice the cake which is on the table... I'm surprised. Really.

Funny.

Haha, actually they still havnt finish preparing, I think. I was brought into the room a bit early. Funny. After that, they asked the rest of the engineers from RAG Area to Recre Room. I was forced to go out from the room and come in again, and pretend that I didnt know about the 'party'.

When I went out from the room, Kheng Guan came, and wanted to enter the room. But they closed the door and still 'preparing' inside. I guess its because its abit noisy, so they cant hear Kheng Guan's call. And by the time they opened the door, and shouted "Happy Birthday"... Kheng Guan stunned. Perhaps all of them also stunned.

Haha.

Kheng Guan turned to me and wish me Happy Birthday. Then he tried to ask Eric for short talk. But I think the room was still noisy, and Eric couldnt hear him. Haha...
In the end, Kheng Guan gave up and went upstairs for meeting. ^^
Super Funny...

They opened the door once more. This time, I walked inside, try to pretend that I'm very surprised. They sang Birthday Song as I walked in. Then I made my birthday wishes. 3 Wishes. Can't mention it out, or else it will not come true, thats what Grandma says.

Then I cut the cake. Then they ask me to choose a girl to "share the chocolate piece on the cake". But paisei lar... In the end, I chose Sean! Wah, he was traumatized completely... Haha. We didnt "kiss" cause he was so paisei. I'm very "sporting" ok. I 主动 ask him to bite the chocolate piece from my mouth. Haha. Funny.
Then, they passed me the Birthday Card - A bear-bear card. We shared the cakes.
Thats all.

Very funny birthday. Very special 21st Birthday. People say u must do something extraordinary on your 21st birthday. But I think this is very special and very "realistic" birthday. Never feel so special and definitely will never have the chance to experience this kind of funny birthday again. Glad to celebrate my 21st birthday with RAGGERS 07/08.

handphone

This year is the first time I celebrated my birthday without handphone since I got a handphone in Sec 5. Bet my friends sent me birthday wishes, especially ZeGanG. But, so sorry, I cant get those messages since my handphone still under repair...
Really appreciate if you all sent birthday wishes to me. Will reply once my phone is fixed...

Guess mom also sent me birthday wishes, sms I mean. Received her message from msn too when I got back from RAG around 2. Think I'm still very tied to mom's apron string. Miss her. And also from my brother and sister too. Vince is the only one who was still online when I come back form RAG. Haha. Glad that got ppl to chat to when I came back, or else, think I'll be very dissapointed lor... haha =p as if =p. Chatted for a while before I decided to go bath and sleep. Yeah, I'm totally stinks when chatting with him. =p

Its really a wonderful birthday. The most memorable 21st birthday!
