Miss Vinod
Hey people. I know I have been slow in my blog post. In fact very slow, until my two brothers Domnic and Jojo have decided to close down my blog without my consent. Haha. Anyway during the holidays one of those days when I was extremely bored I went to my sister's room. They had just bought their new make up set and were delirious over it! A make up kit can make a girl so happy. Sigh!~
Elder sis: It cost me around 20 bucks and there are so many colours to choose! (with a smile on a face like she conquered mount everest)
Younger sis: Yes! It looks so good, you must share with me!
I was like, "Oh god! Girl talk again. I need to scram." When I was about to leave my elder came up with this idea with a cheeky smile on her face.
Elder sis: Vinod, why don't we try applying some on you?
I was like NO! My masculinity was at stake and the last time when I applied make up was when I was involve in a play in kindergarten school. I was the king of China offering my gift to Mother Mary after Jesus was born. It is a Catholic school by the way.
Elder sis: Come on! It's no big deal after all you are at home.
There I was really bored and my intuition was telling me, "Why not?! After all it's just for the fun of it and you can check out the female version of you. So what the hell, let's goof around ." My sisters really got all happy when I gave the green light and it took them one hour to finish up! Jeez, no wonder women take long to dress up. Up went the eyeliner, lipstick, eyeshadow and blusher. They kept laughing non-stop and my male cousin was rolling on the floor clutching his tummy. When I had the chance to look at myself in the mirror, it was gross but funny! I had not shaved for a week and that made it worse! I took some shots and I'm gonna put some in this post. I've one thing to say to the holly divine, "Thank you for making me a male." Haha.
Anyone interested in dating Miss Vinod. Feel free to contact her. HAHA!
Introducing Miss Vinod..
Awww..Check out those lovely eyes and kissable lips..
Who wanna be kissed? I am waiting for you darlings. Damn! Even I am grossed out. Haha.

Seduction Style
I have been thinking about what to come out with my next blog. Dissecting really deeply actually. I should be coming out soon with my next post but anyway check this out. They claim I am a charmer. Haha. It seems people only claim I am more of a charismatic person but charmer..Hmm..Am I?
Your Seduction Style: The Charmer |
You're a master at intimate conversation and verbal enticement. You seduce with words, by getting people to open up to you. By establishing this deep connection quickly, people feel under your power. And then you've got them exactly where you want them! |

Have You Ever..
1) wondered how the word 'Hello' is formed?
It's like hi from hell which precisely, is very negative. Just imagine when someone calls you and you answer, "Hi from hell..." Why isn't it call 'Heaveno?" Positive isn't it? "Hi from heaven.."
2) wondered why 'last piece' is hardly eaten/taken?
Ever seen that kind of incidents before. I'm sure you do because I have seen it so many times. If you haven't, next time when you see a couple or group ordering for example fries or any finger food watch them eat. I mean don't scrutinize because that would be plain rude but notice indirectly that whenever when the food is about to finish and there's the last piece left, 95% will not finish it up. The last piece will be left stranded there. I have no idea why. Had been working at my place and most of the time I see people leaving the last piece. Maybe it's a sign of respect and I am still figuring it out why.
3) wondered how it'll look like when humans start sticking out their tongues to show sign of health?
It is said, dogs, men's best friend, stick out their tongue all the time even when they are not thirsty because according to vets, they do that because to show a sign of health. Now just imagine what happens when the great divine god made us this way. Sticking our tongues out to show sign of health when walking around. Imagine every human start doing that? That will be the day. Haha.
4) wondered why women tend to open their mouth when applying mascara?
It is true. I've seen women doing that all the time. Seen my sisters and female friends. It's like a natural thing to do. Inevitable is the word. According to my female friend Agnes, she claims you need to do that to align. Like aligning the gun. Only this time, the mouth is the controller. It's pretty funny when she said that but she seem all serious. Don't believe me? Next time, guys notice when a woman put on mascara and you'll slowly see the opening of the wide hole. And I meant it in a rather clean and innocent way.

W24C - Part II
The Ladies
Xuehan
My Chinese friend here is getting on well here in RP. I can she tries alot during presentations though it is not easy for her. She speaks English so much better than most friends from China and yes, she has the best natural hair in class. I reckon she takes care of it because it looks really fresh. Just because I find her hair refreshing Albin came up with the stupid rumour when he actually comments about her..ahem..ok..guy stuff..but sometimes he'll go," She shouldn't wear pants." I feel she feel more comfortable with me than him because he creeps her out at times. Haha. Anyway, Xuehan is a quite and shy person in class but she can be loud.
Vanessa
She is one of the two ladies whom I don't like working in class. She is like a car who likes to go in one direction but never wanna try other directions. What I mean is, she is the old fashioned student. She doesn't like doing skids or video for even modules like Culture when we had the chance. She is definitely the kind who doesn't like to take risk. When working with her, I realize she is not willing to take in ideas when she feel is inappropriate. There was once she rejected Emily's and my idea but I went on and say the idea during my part of presentation and the faci claim it was good. What I am saying is, it's good to be doing the logical stuff but once in awhile she should take risk and do something illogical. She is a very helpful person, that I can vouch for but I don't really know much about her but when given a chance I prefer not working with her.
Charlene
A very whimsical woman and she's a true friend. A very direct person. She is the kind who don't trust someone easily but once she gets your trust then she'll start pouring to you all her stuff and crap. She calls herself 'boobie' milk for whatever reason but charlene's a all fun chick. She's into all the Jap stuff like Samuel and Zhen Jie and she has a thing for 'pretty' boys. The kind of dudes who spoil the image of real men. Haha. I tease her about that at times. Charlene is actually a smart chick but she waste it. She comes late for class and that cost her for better grades and sometimes she misses her UTs. Why do smart people waste their talent and become lazy? Jeez..
Dewi
Frankly, I ain't really sure what to write about her because I don't really mix with her much as she hardly comes to class at times. She was discriminated for her size for a period of time in the first semester especially by some shallow people and in away, I felt bad for her. These people who had their fair share of poking fun of her in uncouth ways used mandarin to communicate with each other to prevent her from getting their criticisms. Some friends who joked about her are not actually mean but they get influenced, in away like following the crowd. It disappointed me for a moment because these peers can actually use their brains to think. The thing is, if you wanna poke fun, use a language which is ideal to both the parties. Discrimination is not an easy thing to be handled especially if the whole cohort is against you. Sometimes I wonder if she knows she is being looked down which resulted in her not coming to class often. She has her cons as well. From what I heard, she has this 'pushing' factor where she pushes her points in the power point slides and make sure it is there even at the expense of a team disagreeing with it. I didn't really team with her so I ain't sure but some friends tell me she does that and they can't oppose it. They should have because it's a team's effort and not a single person. Many times she has left the class during the second break claiming she has to go and take care of her 'father-in-law' in the hospital. It's up to her if she wanna do that because I have no say in matters relating to her family but she should realize there's a team with her and leaving half-way shows irresponsibility and grades being deteriorated. From what I know, she is gonna be married when she's 20.
Lee Xuan
A very hardworking student. Yes she is, if you ever worked with her. I have worked with her for culture and twice I was in the same team as her and I never regretted because she is very hardworking. I have no idea why the facilitator gives her a low grade for the first few assignments. Maybe it's because they way she presents is not so convincing. She knows her stuff but she gets intimidated when presenting. She's a very soft person at heart and she has one of the best smiles in class and yes, she has a beautiful face. The problem with her, like dewi, she has this bad habit of leaving class half way as well. I don't understand why she does that but she does that frequently especially in second half of semester two and yes, it's always annoying when anyone does that.
Mabel
She can be a good friend but her attitude undermines her personality. She's sensitive. She can spray words jokingly but she can't accept when someone hit it back against her. She has this kind of vendetta with Samuel and I don't understand why. I reckon it started once she read his post about his 'dark' side. She can't accept when someone praises him and when I call him smart she tries to influence me in siding with her but I'll still say it, he's smart. She happen to always question Sam when he happen to be in another group about his power point slide. It's alright to question, I ain't against it but half of the time the time it's outrageously not related which makes the faci give the awe-struck look which if i can translate the look it will go, "What's your rational in asking the question?". She claims others are copying from friend's slide when she herself is doing plagiarism. I have noted it a couple of times. She's actually a pretty smart girl and can be a good team mate. I hope she uses her smartness for correct use and change her personality for the better. She has to understand the more she has this attitude, the more she is chasing away friends.
Cloudie
This is the second person whom I do not like teaming with. Most of the time she'll be in MSN chatting with someone else even when the discussion started. She hardly does any work and only towards the end she'll do something and it's actually copied slides from another person's power point and then she will elaborate on it which most of the time impresses the faci unfortunately which results in her getting an undeserved A. I ain't saying all the time but most of the time. There was once Ridwan gave me a C and she a C. It's funny to see she getting rather annoyed with the grade and this is the ironical part. She actually wanted to write in claiming she doesn't deserve the grade and to think about it, it's pretty laughable. She is another smart lady but a very lazy one. She says much gross stuff without thinking and sometimes some people told me she has to wash her mouth. She is actually a confused girl with LSE. A loud good friend with a soft heart.
Debra
She is so far the cutest girl in RP whom I have met. Maybe it's because of her small frame size or because of the way she speaks. I keep teasing her about her height claiming, "Hey, tall girl is here." Debra is the kind of girl who cannot accept defeat easily. She takes it rather personally and takes sometime to recover. Maybe it's because she was taken care of and has been experiencing good things all the time so a little barrier becomes a big impact for her. She is a smart girl but can be lazy. Sometimes she don't get involved in group discussions and the last few weeks, she didn't even put in much effort in the assignments of the modules and I am seriously wondering why. I had a feeling she was not taken by Sam as well by the way she behaves towards him and I was a little disappointed but my perception changed once I see her tagging in my blog to Sam, being nice and advising him. I guess people change.
Eunice
A very hardworking student. Given a chance, I would have her as my team mate anytime because she works really hard. Yes, I do tease her much because she don't take anything personally, rather she has a laugh or she tries to counter back but in vain. Sometimes I feel she don't get the grades she deserve as she puts in so much work. Maybe the faci feels she has to put in more in her presentation skills. Like most girls, she has very LSE. She don't take compliments well rather she brushed it off claiming she is not that. I have always told her to work on her confidence level. She's a very good friend and someone I can trust.
Jasmin
Miss photogenic. She's my favourite woman in class. Not only me but ask many people in class around, especially the dudes because she's super fun. We keep teasing and disturbing her but she takes it rather well and she's also very cheeky. She's actually naive in away because I always manage to outsmart her in some stuff and then she'll go "I don't friend you". As a team mate, she's alright but yes, she can be lazy. The Jasmin we see is not what she is. There is more to her and she is one of the person whom I can really trust and have a chat. One thing which puzzles me is, I don't understand why she always rejects our group outings. Maybe she is closer to her ex class but still alittle odd. She has this habit of smiling sideways when she takes a photo. Haha. Jasmin is actually a very soft person. She may look hard outside but actually all jelly inside. I can not forget the last day of school where I see a drop of tear from her eyes before she left. Must be pretty emotional for her though of course she won't accept. It's always a pleasure to know Jasmin and come out with us soon, your highness.

W24C
School has been over and it's getting damn boring though it has been only a week. Mum is out of town and it's even more boring without her because if she happens to be around, at least there will be something to talk and crap about. I am actually looking for a job. I didn't quit my bar job but I need another job to get a better pay for two months before the school re-opens. Frankly, looking for a job ain't easy. I remembered, I only got my bar job after 20 failed applications from different areas. Can you imagine that? And it's only a part-time job. I see what I can do for a new job and if I fail to find any by this week, I'll probably work in the bar, basically every single day if possible.
Anyway, I am blogging today about my ex class W24C in semester two. Blogging about every single soul. I do miss them but the feeling is not like the way I missed my W25C class in semester 1. I feel more at home in W25C. In this class, people will be speaking more in mandarin and sometimes I feel alienated and my mind will go, "What the hell?!" I've did my best to bring the class together but some people just won't wanna get adapted to the new environment and new friends. Some people will go, "This class cannot make it" when they themselves are not doing a single shit in helping the class to make it. To tell you the truth, there was politics in this class. Some people don't like someone but they'll go all nice when they talk to you but bitch at the back. To be fair, I feel the guys in this class are cool. I ain't being prejudice to the ladies but even 2 close lady friends were telling me they prefer the guys in the class to the girls. One even said, "You guys joke and are direct but the girls be nice to you now but behind you they say bad things." The ironic part about this class is, people even back-stab about another person to the faci. Awesome eh? Wow, I didn't know classmates did that to one another. I didn't really 'feel' this class from the start. In fact I nearly gave up before the first vacations when a great friend from the class reprimanded me claiming I shouldn't judge the class so fast. There I laid in bed thinking, "Maybe I shouldn't have judge the class fast and give them time. They are new anyway." But then I realized I've cheated my own intuition. It's only towards the end, where I got close with some people.
I am really gonna be honest and frank about every single soul in this class because I ain't the type who likes to 'bootlick' or 'kiss-ass' and I ain't the type who is bias to anyone. Not my style. I was asking a friend should I be frank about this blog and he was like, "Dude, maybe some people needs to realize the truth. The thing is, the truth hurts but there's no point beating around the bush." I maybe quiet sometimes but that doesn't mean I ain't scrutinizing people's attitude. It's been a habit for me since when I was young. I read people when I am noisy or when I am quiet but I don't judge someone fast. I don't come down to a conclusion that easy. Maybe people will go, "Who the hell are you to read and judge people when you have shit at your own back as well?" Well, I ain't saying I am perfect. In fact, no human is perfect but I am willing to change my cons. So here is my post about my classmates. People who wanna take it optimistically will sit down and dissect and probably change for the better and people who wanna take it pessimistically, I've gotta nothing more to say and IDGARA.
The Guys
Albin
The most direct guy I ever knew in this class. If he feels like he has something to say, he just shoots. He don't give second thoughts about it. Most of the time it's all crap and he basically don't mean what he says. In away being direct is good but definitely not all the time. Sometimes when he says somethings without realizing the consequences, the outcome from opposite party may not be so appeasing. For example, when he called the science faci a 'Bangla' right to her face, I can see she wasn't pleased but then she realized Albin was just crapping. At first glance, I thought he was an uncouth gangster but he's actually a nice guy in personality. He's also freaking smart in Science but he is lazy. I gotta say he helped me a heap in Science mostly and for some reason when I group with him, he will definitely help out.
Jeksen
My Indonesian friend is very smart. Way too smart for his knowing. He had a GPA of 3.9 in first semester, so you know what kind of person you are dealing with. His forte is, he catches things very fast and he's more effective in Science and Math. I realize that in the later part where the class knew each other 'better', he actually craps much as well. I personally feel he doesn't have a social life. I can understand the fact he is in another country and it ain't easy for him but he prefers to keep to himself in the school's hostel. Jeksen is a nice dude but he's selfish. He don't really share his findings or thoughts to anyone in class even when someone ask him, he says it briefly to them and that is one of the reasons I don't really like asking his help in modules if I have any qualms. It's like he prefers personal glory to himself. In finding success oneself is sweet but sharing your findings with fellow friends is sweeter.
Nigilan
He went through shit in life. Seriously, living in war bound country and coming to Singapore to study and escape from war and worrying about your family back home ain't easy. Sometimes I see him reading all the Sri Lanka websites and he'll tell me there's war again and when I see his face with misery, I feel bad for the dude. He's a smart dude and like Jeksen, he's more effective in Math and Science and I can safely say he is better than Jeksen in Visual Basics. He helped me much in both Math and Science and he would come up personally to my area and teach me Visual Basics but he's lazy as well. Mostly in language modules. Sometimes when I ask him to say a certain slide he declines it because he is afraid to explain from the slide thinking whatever he says will be wrong. I told him not to worry but he prefers to refrain from it.
Herman
I can say this dude is smart but he's more hardworking. He is the type of personality who never gives up in something until he really understands it and he's very helpful person. If you ask him something you don't understand, he will never say no. The thing about him is, he tends to over analyze something at times. So much so he tends to confuse himself and people around him and sometimes I find it so funny. Nevertheless, I will never complain working with him because he tries so much in presentation and help out a lot. It'll always be a pleasure teaming up with him and knowing him as a person.
Samuel
The tallest dude I ever knew besides my cousin. I didn't know much about him until I read his blog about his 'dark' side. It was really direct and he actually didn't hide that he was that kind of person before. It's good to write about his cons but I feel he shouldn't have be over descriptive in certain things because it can creep someone out especially some girls in my class who acted all creep out until it disgust me and that undermines his personality from the start for a while. I wasn't creep out because he was that before and what makes you think he'll be in future? Give that dude a break. He's trying to change and instead of helping him, you refrain from him? Wow, some deal eh? He work up from ITE and in away it makes me wonder why he was even there because I'll say it again. He's Smart. He's hardworking. Maybe he was like me, where he screwed up before and wanna make it right now. You can see the way he does his power point slides and research that he makes an effort and he also helps friends much. His con is he tends to beat around the bush when he is trying to comprehend something and not go directly to the point. Overall, he's a good friend and I never had a problem teaming up with him because he's a good team mate.
Yong shun
He's very good in his UTs and he's actually smart. He's like a submarine, silent but deadly. The silent killer. He does his killer punch in his UTs but it keeps me wondering why he presents in an odd way during presentation when he actually knows his stuff. He helps out but sometimes he gets lazy. A very cheeky fellow and he's known to be a looker among some girls in class. He doesn't really say much about his feelings and keeps it to himself. I only got to know some things about him when I happen to walk to the interchange with him. An avid pool player.
Yuhan
A great and true friend. He may seem like a crude guy who shouts a freaking much of vulgarities in class but he actually soft at heart. He cares for people he knows. Can be seen from the way he treats his gf when she was in the hospital and from the way he misses friends once the school closes. It's funny he only got close to some people towards the end. I reckon he needed time to heat up. I always tell him not to give a rat's ass what people claim about him when he gets A for a lesson because these people feel he is a slacker and he doesn't deserve it. Some people will go, "Even Yuhan gets A" and so? Why? Can't he deserve an A? To tell you the truth, when he works in my team, he will help out. He does researches as well and yes, he can get lazy but he is the type who will work for you if you say it nicely or motivate him. Most of the time, friends don't care about him because they feel he plays games and doesn't care during group discussions. He has to work on his presentation skills and I can see he feels he can't explain to the class when he actually can. Have faith in yourself bro. Dude, year 2 is pp. Work on it.
Zhen Jie
A happy go lucky dude. He has this red streaks of hair with him and when I first saw him, I had the impression this guy was into Jap stuff and yes, I was right. He's also into RnB and Hip Hop music and he shares some of his songs with me. He is actually a very helpful team mate. In fact he works hard and help out with most of the topics for each module. He is handy with computer stuff as he had studied the course in ITE Simei. The thing about this dude is, his laughter always makes people crack up as well. There's something about his laughter. I don't know why but it's just plain funny and frankly I only started talking more to him because he watches BPL and he was an Arsenal fan so there was something similar where we can talk about. Most of the time when the lesson finishes, he is the first one to leave the class and I found that odd because why would someone leave so early? I realize later that he had to go visit his gf who happens to finish classes faster most of the time than him. There was once he was saying to me, "Aiyah, better go early if not later small thing, she makes into a big thing, then quarrel and I don't like quarrelling. You know how girls are." Haha.
Shamsul
He is the smallest dude in class but he is rather cheeky with his words. He is good in Visual Basics and his ability to think differently is a real asset. Like for example I didn't know the gender and sex is actually a different thing until he blurt it out to the faci. He is actually a smart dude. It can been seen when he ask sophisticated questions. He helps out in team work but he can be lazy. I don't really know much about him. The only thing I know is the class always tease him with this girl who wears a Toodong and I can sometimes see he gets annoyed from his facial expression.
Taufiq
My brother Taufiq here is a big and cheeky dude. For some reason he likes to tease Jasmin alot(who doesn't?) and claim he likes flirting with Jasmin. Haha. He has this odd laughter in him where it sounds Scooby Doo laughing. He is a good team mate because he really help. The only thing about him I notice is his nerves. He is loud when presenting but kind of loose confidence in himself when the faci or some of the classmates pop out a question. Then he'll kind of get nervous. Dude, don't give a damn. I mean we are all to learn man. If you can answer do it, if you can't, smile it off. I gotta say Taufiq is a big romantic. When I read his blog sometimes it is too romantic that it makes me wanna puke. Haha! I guess that's how couples behave when they are in love. He's all about tease and when I tease him or crack a joke, he accepts it well, especially the 'gay' thing we do together. I told his gf not to be selfish and share him. Haha. Both he and his gf make a great couple. I mean they complement each other rather well and so far, they are the best couple I've seen in RP. Rock on brother and work hard for your year two. Nigga G dude.
Anyway, I am blogging today about my ex class W24C in semester two. Blogging about every single soul. I do miss them but the feeling is not like the way I missed my W25C class in semester 1. I feel more at home in W25C. In this class, people will be speaking more in mandarin and sometimes I feel alienated and my mind will go, "What the hell?!" I've did my best to bring the class together but some people just won't wanna get adapted to the new environment and new friends. Some people will go, "This class cannot make it" when they themselves are not doing a single shit in helping the class to make it. To tell you the truth, there was politics in this class.

I am really gonna be honest and frank about every single soul in this class because I ain't the type who likes to 'bootlick' or 'kiss-ass' and I ain't the type who is bias to anyone. Not my style. I was asking a friend should I be frank about this blog and he was like, "Dude, maybe some people needs to realize the truth. The thing is, the truth hurts but there's no point beating around the bush." I maybe quiet sometimes but that doesn't mean I ain't scrutinizing people's attitude. It's been a habit for me since when I was young. I read people when I am noisy or when I am quiet but I don't judge someone fast. I don't come down to a conclusion that easy. Maybe people will go, "Who the hell are you to read and judge people when you have shit at your own back as well?" Well, I ain't saying I am perfect. In fact, no human is perfect but I am willing to change my cons. So here is my post about my classmates. People who wanna take it optimistically will sit down and dissect and probably change for the better and people who wanna take it pessimistically, I've gotta nothing more to say and IDGARA.
The Guys
Albin
The most direct guy I ever knew in this class. If he feels like he has something to say, he just shoots. He don't give second thoughts about it. Most of the time it's all crap and he basically don't mean what he says. In away being direct is good but definitely not all the time. Sometimes when he says somethings without realizing the consequences, the outcome from opposite party may not be so appeasing. For example, when he called the science faci a 'Bangla' right to her face, I can see she wasn't pleased but then she realized Albin was just crapping. At first glance, I thought he was an uncouth gangster but he's actually a nice guy in personality. He's also freaking smart in Science but he is lazy. I gotta say he helped me a heap in Science mostly and for some reason when I group with him, he will definitely help out.
Jeksen
My Indonesian friend is very smart. Way too smart for his knowing. He had a GPA of 3.9 in first semester, so you know what kind of person you are dealing with. His forte is, he catches things very fast and he's more effective in Science and Math. I realize that in the later part where the class knew each other 'better', he actually craps much as well. I personally feel he doesn't have a social life. I can understand the fact he is in another country and it ain't easy for him but he prefers to keep to himself in the school's hostel. Jeksen is a nice dude but he's selfish. He don't really share his findings or thoughts to anyone in class even when someone ask him, he says it briefly to them and that is one of the reasons I don't really like asking his help in modules if I have any qualms. It's like he prefers personal glory to himself. In finding success oneself is sweet but sharing your findings with fellow friends is sweeter.
Nigilan
He went through shit in life. Seriously, living in war bound country and coming to Singapore to study and escape from war and worrying about your family back home ain't easy. Sometimes I see him reading all the Sri Lanka websites and he'll tell me there's war again and when I see his face with misery, I feel bad for the dude. He's a smart dude and like Jeksen, he's more effective in Math and Science and I can safely say he is better than Jeksen in Visual Basics. He helped me much in both Math and Science and he would come up personally to my area and teach me Visual Basics but he's lazy as well. Mostly in language modules. Sometimes when I ask him to say a certain slide he declines it because he is afraid to explain from the slide thinking whatever he says will be wrong. I told him not to worry but he prefers to refrain from it.
Herman
I can say this dude is smart but he's more hardworking. He is the type of personality who never gives up in something until he really understands it and he's very helpful person. If you ask him something you don't understand, he will never say no. The thing about him is, he tends to over analyze something at times. So much so he tends to confuse himself and people around him and sometimes I find it so funny. Nevertheless, I will never complain working with him because he tries so much in presentation and help out a lot. It'll always be a pleasure teaming up with him and knowing him as a person.
Samuel
The tallest dude I ever knew besides my cousin. I didn't know much about him until I read his blog about his 'dark' side. It was really direct and he actually didn't hide that he was that kind of person before. It's good to write about his cons but I feel he shouldn't have be over descriptive in certain things because it can creep someone out especially some girls in my class who acted all creep out until it disgust me and that undermines his personality from the start for a while. I wasn't creep out because he was that before and what makes you think he'll be in future? Give that dude a break. He's trying to change and instead of helping him, you refrain from him? Wow, some deal eh? He work up from ITE and in away it makes me wonder why he was even there because I'll say it again. He's Smart. He's hardworking. Maybe he was like me, where he screwed up before and wanna make it right now. You can see the way he does his power point slides and research that he makes an effort and he also helps friends much. His con is he tends to beat around the bush when he is trying to comprehend something and not go directly to the point. Overall, he's a good friend and I never had a problem teaming up with him because he's a good team mate.
Yong shun
He's very good in his UTs and he's actually smart. He's like a submarine, silent but deadly. The silent killer. He does his killer punch in his UTs but it keeps me wondering why he presents in an odd way during presentation when he actually knows his stuff. He helps out but sometimes he gets lazy. A very cheeky fellow and he's known to be a looker among some girls in class. He doesn't really say much about his feelings and keeps it to himself. I only got to know some things about him when I happen to walk to the interchange with him. An avid pool player.
Yuhan
A great and true friend. He may seem like a crude guy who shouts a freaking much of vulgarities in class but he actually soft at heart. He cares for people he knows. Can be seen from the way he treats his gf when she was in the hospital and from the way he misses friends once the school closes. It's funny he only got close to some people towards the end. I reckon he needed time to heat up. I always tell him not to give a rat's ass what people claim about him when he gets A for a lesson because these people feel he is a slacker and he doesn't deserve it. Some people will go, "Even Yuhan gets A" and so? Why? Can't he deserve an A? To tell you the truth, when he works in my team, he will help out. He does researches as well and yes, he can get lazy but he is the type who will work for you if you say it nicely or motivate him. Most of the time, friends don't care about him because they feel he plays games and doesn't care during group discussions. He has to work on his presentation skills and I can see he feels he can't explain to the class when he actually can. Have faith in yourself bro. Dude, year 2 is pp. Work on it.
Zhen Jie
A happy go lucky dude. He has this red streaks of hair with him and when I first saw him, I had the impression this guy was into Jap stuff and yes, I was right. He's also into RnB and Hip Hop music and he shares some of his songs with me. He is actually a very helpful team mate. In fact he works hard and help out with most of the topics for each module. He is handy with computer stuff as he had studied the course in ITE Simei. The thing about this dude is, his laughter always makes people crack up as well. There's something about his laughter. I don't know why but it's just plain funny and frankly I only started talking more to him because he watches BPL and he was an Arsenal fan so there was something similar where we can talk about. Most of the time when the lesson finishes, he is the first one to leave the class and I found that odd because why would someone leave so early? I realize later that he had to go visit his gf who happens to finish classes faster most of the time than him. There was once he was saying to me, "Aiyah, better go early if not later small thing, she makes into a big thing, then quarrel and I don't like quarrelling. You know how girls are." Haha.
Shamsul
He is the smallest dude in class but he is rather cheeky with his words. He is good in Visual Basics and his ability to think differently is a real asset. Like for example I didn't know the gender and sex is actually a different thing until he blurt it out to the faci. He is actually a smart dude. It can been seen when he ask sophisticated questions. He helps out in team work but he can be lazy. I don't really know much about him. The only thing I know is the class always tease him with this girl who wears a Toodong and I can sometimes see he gets annoyed from his facial expression.
Taufiq
My brother Taufiq here is a big and cheeky dude. For some reason he likes to tease Jasmin alot(who doesn't?) and claim he likes flirting with Jasmin. Haha. He has this odd laughter in him where it sounds Scooby Doo laughing. He is a good team mate because he really help. The only thing about him I notice is his nerves. He is loud when presenting but kind of loose confidence in himself when the faci or some of the classmates pop out a question. Then he'll kind of get nervous. Dude, don't give a damn. I mean we are all to learn man. If you can answer do it, if you can't, smile it off. I gotta say Taufiq is a big romantic. When I read his blog sometimes it is too romantic that it makes me wanna puke. Haha! I guess that's how couples behave when they are in love. He's all about tease and when I tease him or crack a joke, he accepts it well, especially the 'gay' thing we do together. I told his gf not to be selfish and share him. Haha. Both he and his gf make a great couple. I mean they complement each other rather well and so far, they are the best couple I've seen in RP. Rock on brother and work hard for your year two. Nigga G dude.

Things we can learn from a dog..
I saw this interesting article at my work on Sunday. Very meaningful and as humans we can learn much from the domestic animal and our loyal friend...
1) When love ones come home, always run home to greet them
2) Run, romp and play daily. Be loyal.
3) Never pretend to be something you are not.
4) If what you want lies buried, dig until you find them.
5) When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
6) Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
7) Avoid biting when a simple growl would do.
8) No matter how much you are criticized, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout.
9) Run right back and make friends.
