World of Porridge

Porridge is a very wonder thing. It fills up our stomach, it is healthy, it is easy to cook, it is cheap and most importantly, it is DELICIOUS! Cooking up a good bowl of porridge depends on your skill. Some people can have rice stuck to the bottom of their pots, some can dry up the whole porridge.

So how to cook a good bowl of porridge. First you have to decide how you want your porridge to be. Thick? Thin? Medium? The cooking time also matters. The longer the cooking time, the mashier your porridge becomes. No matter what, it is all on personal preference. I had been cooking and eating porridge for the past few weeks that I have developed some special feelings for it. It is just a very unique dish. Especially when I am a Teochew.. Teochew porridge rocks!

Bosson - One In A Million (Remix)

You're one in a million
Oh
Now
You're one in a million
Oh

Sometimes I can't hate you every day
Sometimes you can fall for everyone you see
Only one can really make me stay
A sign from the sky
Said to me

[Chorus]
You're one in a million
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover all the stars above us
You're one in a million
You're once in a lifetime
You made me discover all the stars above us

I've been looking for that special one
And I've been searching for someone to give my love
And when I thought that all the hope was gone
You smile, there you were and I was gone

I always will remember how I felt that day
A feeling indescribable to me
Yeah
I always knew there was an answer for my prayer
And you, you're the one for me

[Chorus x 2]

I was cool and everything was possible
You tried to catch me but it wasn't possible
Nobody could hurt me it was my game
Until I met you baby and went insane
And when you didn't want me, I wanted you
Because the finer thing bout it was I like to go
I like it when its difficult I like it when it's hard
You know it's worth it if ya find your heart

[Chorus x 2]

You're one in a million
Oh
You're one in a million

Let's Hit Town!

Just a day for 2, KC and myself today. We went to Cathay Cineleisure for lunch at Kobayashi before proceeding on to Supercuts to have our haircut. However upon entering, we discovered that the student promo ($18) isn't on for today so we will be charged the usual price ($28.90). Of course, we would not want to spend so much on a haircut so we decided not to have it.

Next we went on to Swissotel to collect the race pack for his Vertical Marathon tomorow. Wish you good luck in the marathon tomorrow! =)

Final stop for today was Jurong Point. We went hunting around the shopping for cheap haircuts. However the cheapest we found was $21.80. Therefore, we decided to head on there and have our haircut. The whole process lasted an hour or so. However in the end it cost us $26.90, not as cheap too. A thing to say is that their hair washing service is quite good. =)

Three Day Summary

Yet it's another three day summary. I feel that I'm getting more and more lazy to post now!

Monday

HI! Club starts today. Now I'm in Basic B Class 2A. Worked hard for the first semester and finally got "promoted" this time, lol. New instructors, new classmates. Learnt new words today, deciding on songs to sign for closing ceremony. Somehow I find Basic B is really more "advanced" than Basic A? Lol.

Tuesday

After school went to Jurong Point for shopping with the girls but fortunately the other 3 "Thais" joined me afterwards so I was not bored.

Wednesday

Class ends at 9.30am today. I arrived at 9.10am. Guess how long was my lesson? Lol. After which took my phone to the service centre for repairs and came back home.

Almost a month
+ a story about solo travelling

It's been almost a month since I came back from Wuhan. Watching videos on Facebook about our Wuhan lives has brought my mind back to Wuhan again. I have a strong urge to visit there again but it will be a different feeling the next time I visit there as the 21 Guns will not be together there. I will not be returning to Room 319 to sleep at night. I will not be walking around the neighbourhood of 武汉科技大学中南分校. I will not be savouring the night market food with my friends. Everything will be different. However, what will remain the same? It's the memories we shared together as the 21 Guns, the unbreakable bond we created, the... Well, the list goes on and on. Although highly impossible, I am trying to plan a trip to go to Wuhan from Guangzhou from 21st to 24th December. Air tickets are cheap at only $134 per person.

Now this is where my psychoing skills come in. My father is objecting to my idea of doing that but I guess I will still be able to convince him, considering the fact that I convinced him to let me go to Guangzhou alone last time. Who knows I might just tour around the world alone next time? Lol.

Sometimes travelling alone can be fun as you do not have to cater to others. I have not really travelled alone. In terms of travelling alone, I have only taken flights by myself. The best thing about this is that you do not have to bother about other people's choice of airline and you have all the freedom to yourself. However, travelling completely by myself on a tour is something I want to try, but afraid to. The first thing that it might be costly to me. My stubborness to take SIA every time I want to go overseas will chop off half of the budget. Imagine taking SIA to somewhere in Europe, $1500 to $2000 gone. Staying in hotels and such would cost another $1000. Food and expenses, another $1000 gone. If budget travel, probably I can find a cheap flight on other airlines like Thai for $1000 to $1200, budget hotels that cost $30 per night. Well, it all boils down to money. Sometimes I just wish I have unlimited money....

Dream

I had a strange dream last night. Dreamt that I went back to 武汉科技大学中南分校. However, the things there has changed. Called around but I could not find anyone. I had no renminbi with me too! Well, hope this does not happen if I ever return to Wuhan.. Hopefully in December. =p

Modules

These are the modules that I am taking this semester and a short description about them.

Quality Management
From what I did now, everything is just back to Applied Statistics.

Distribution and Transportation
More like a pure-theory module...

Inventory Management
Why do I get the feeling that I am taking Mathematics?

Customer Relationship Management
Frankly speak, I still don't get what is this module trying to say. =X

Design of Experiments
Hypothesis testing.. Applied Statistics again?

I&E In Action
Well... Well... Don't get why this module exist but it shall be fun. =D

Business Process Engineering (taken in Wuhan)
Interesting module but boring theory

China: An Overseas Experience (taken in Wuhan)
Probably the best module I've taken.. Lol

回到家的感觉

离开武汉也有一段时间了， 非常怀念那里的朋友， 那里的生活， 那里的环境， 最重要的还是那里又便宜又好吃的食物！ 离别的时刻慢慢逼近的时候， 我不禁想起了我们二十一个人在武汉所度过的美好时光。 说真的， 不知道为什么回味好时光总是让人伤感。 虽然我们离开了我们不知不觉爱上的城市， 我们所得到的是友情。 回到了新加坡， 我们的友情果然还是非常深厚！

在 武汉的朋友们， 虽然不知道什么时候能够在见面， 可是我相信但愿人长久， 千里共婵娟。 有缘的话， 我们一定会在相见！ 这可能就是交到外国朋友的一个坏处吧。。 虽然感情不错， 可是却在中间隔了个十万八千里。 有缘千里来相会， 希望我们还会见面。 后会有期了， 武汉！
