I'm currently on my 4th week of the obligatory 12-week attachment.

The good news: $600 (est.) per month and I end at 3pm.
The bad news: Starts at 7am and I have to work on Saturdays for 4 hours.

Luckily, it's only 15-20mins bus ride from my home to my workplace. Benny, whon lives in Admiralty, is attached to a company in Tuas! So, I'm grateful for that :D

Blog Revival


Okay, instead of the usual I'm baccckkkkk!!! (That's so mainstream), I've decided to make this post somewhat of a press conference. So, leggo!

Q: I thought your blog was dead.
A: Well, in that case, it has been resurrected! Nah, it was just a very long hiatus. And unlike Two & A Half Men, it's coming back for the better :D

Q: Why have you suddenly revived your blog?
A: Writing has been always my passion. However, I've been very busy with school that I'd forgo blogging. I'd never intended to stop blogging.

Q: Why now?
A: I've finally have some spare time! Although I'm currently on attachment, I have no reports to write, modules to study, projects to finish and deadlines to meet. Hence, freeing some time I so desperately need to blog. Yay.

Q: Why not just make a new blog?
A: Memories. There's good and there's bad. The bad may outweights the good but it makes what I am today.

Q: What to expect in this blog?
A: Well, I'll be blogging about my 12-week FYP experience to my current attachment. I'll also post about my San Francisco-Seattle-Vancouver-San Francisco Trip. I'd definitely post about Greyson and my obsession with Asa. I'll also post short stories and movie reviews to keep this blog running.

Q: How frequent will you post on this blog?
A: As time allows me too. I'll post once in a day, not once a day. Probably 2-3 times a week? We'll see.

I want to end this post with a lil promo. Follow me on twitter! @shoutfromabove and check out my tumblr! xpressingthewayiam.tumblr.com
P.S My tumblr is currently on hiatus. I'll revive my tumblr once I buy a new laptop ;)

I feel a tad guilty for ignoring my blog since September 20th :( Oh well, at least I'm back!!! For the past 3 Christmases, I posted my top 5 moments of that particular year. And this year I was a day late because I was out the entire Christmas! [That, and I was playing Madden the whole morning :D]

Okay, let's get to it.

Top 5 Moments in my life of the year 2011


*NUMBER FIVE* May 20th 2011
Honestly, if someone were to be my date, they will be blown away! [That can have two meanings ;)]

*NUMBER FOUR* August 25th 2011  
It's my birthday!!!


*NUMBER THREE* Halloween Night
Never in my 19 years of living have I celebrate Halloween...Until now! It was so cool!!! The dressing up! The watching of horror films! And the collecting candies!!! I feel such a kid and it was a good feeling! Love every single minute of it.


*NUMBER TWO* Seeing Greyson Live!
OMG. And I thought I'd never see Greyson in person...just a few feet away from me! I love this guy so much! I wish he knew I exist....Although he does follow me on twitter :D Sadly, i didn't get to meet him in person but he tweeted he'll be coming to Asia again in the near future...Soooo, *fingers crossed*


*NUMBER ONE* Seattle/San Francisco
I'll never, in my life, forget how awesome the trip was. This needs it's own post to blog which I will in the near future :)

Twitter makes me want to have drinks with people I’ve never met, and Facebook makes me want to throw drinks at people - Gregory Michael (Whoever that is)



It's been nearly a month since I last blogged anything...I feel guilty cause there were so many things I wanna write about and post it here but I didn' have time! And when I did, I felt lazy :\

Let's just go right to it. 1st off, I got a job! I'm back at the same place that I first worked ;) Only, I'm now working at Singtel and not Best Denki...It started on the 2nd of September and will last 25th. Frankly, I can't wait to end! It's totally a different environment than Best.

Alrightey, so, yesterday, went to Somerset with Elan to collect my timesheet...And since, Aizan was working, we decided to pay him a visit. He gave us free drinks and a brownie for us to share(Thanks!). Then we headed to H&M to see what's the fuss about and frankly, it was kinda a let-down. It doesn't have much to offer for people like me(Maybe, I'm just to fashionable!)...

Next, we went to some bookstore which happens to be the biggest bookstore I'd ever step foot into! DAMMNNN... And the book that I'm looking for, Mysterious Skin, is available!!! Only 2 copies left though!!! I need to get that book ASAP! And there's a lot of books I wanted to get like, "Jesse Ventura: 63 conspiracy theories the US government do not what you to know", "Hello Vodka? It's me Chelsea" and "Hunger Games."

Then, Shameer called and he was also at Somerset! So, in the end, hung out and had dinner with him and Aizan. I still don't know if I could make it this Sunday :

This post gonna abruptly end here.

August 2011 update

1st blog entry in weeks. I'm sorry blog. Been really busy with school stuffs. Projects and reports are done. And now, Common tests are over now here comes the big ones, exams!!!...Oh God Final stretch here...

Anyways, I don't know what to write about...It's not like my life is not interesting(okay, maybe it is.)... *Still thinking of a subject to write*

You know what? Let's just make a "week-in-review"...

Monday 8 August 2011:
Okay, I had class at 9am. Me, being fasting and all, am so lazy to go especially when I have a 4-hour break before the next class... But I had too...It's revision class! So, I did, after arguing with myself on my bed for 10 minutes whether to wake up...

First class ended at 11am. Luckily, Carlston was in school...So, ended up studying with him for shopfloor common test (which happens to be on wednesday) for 4 hours...Actually, the studying part only lasted for a mere hour and a half(what do you want from me? I'm tired!).

The next class(Nano) was really lswhfwugh. The lecturer gave us an overview of what going to come out for common test. Then gave us revision slides. Then told us class has ended. All in 15 minutes -.-

I could've gone home...But instead, stayed back to play tennis with Richard and Joshua...It's been like 2 weeks since I last played so, yeah, itching to play...But with me being fasting and all, I only played for like an hour...Then off to sweet serenity, that is, home...

Tuesday 9th August 2011:
I seriously didn't do anything special even though it was our Nation's birthday and all...I geniunely had more fun on the 4th of July! Oh, I think I made a new friend online. I don't where where this going to lead. But I'm optimistic about this! And I'm sure to write more on this in my future blog posts...

Wednesday 10th August 2011:
Common Test at 4.30pm. I was in school at 2pm, so that I could have some last-minute study... See how good I am? Studied with Carlston...And there was this calculation question that the lecturer told us it would come out...And I didn't even read into it yet...So, went through the examples for an hour and still didn't know what to do. So, I read through and understood it in 5 minutes! Haha. Sucks for Carlston. So, I had to teach him that. And he should really, and, I mean, really, thank me cause the calculation question did come out in the common test...And it was worth 30marks...Yowzza. A confirmed 30marks for me ^^

Thursday 11th August 2011:
Common Test at 11am. In school at 9am. Went through QC notes and tutorials until it was time for test...One thing I have to say about the test... Crash & Burn. I hate this test so much(until tomorrow, where I hate another test more than this).

After common test, I tagged along with Carlston and Hexun to play some pool...Again, I don't pay games that I don't know/like to play...Haha. So, yeah, they paid for the 2-hour game... It was pretty fun and it was a nice way to blow off some steam after the paper...

Friday 12th August 2011:
Nano common test was at 11am and again, I was in school at 9am. Went through the Revision slides and tutorial and...Haizzz...The paper was so kusfksskdbfy...Really have no mood to do anything else...So, went home and took a nap...

And now, as I waited for break fast, I decided to update my blog....

What is a good memory concerning 10? - Messing around with their hit song, "Apologize" :D

Is there a song by 8 that makes you sad? - "Patience". It was a pretty sad and daunting track.

Sorry blog neglecting you this past few weeks...Been very lazy(not busy ^^) to write anything although I had a lot of things to write about...


So, I did a bit of thinking, actually it came from How I Met Your Mother...Where Lily was afraid that Robin would leave her when she has a baby after finding out that Robin and Jessica Gilter stopped being friends when Jessica got pregnant and had her baby...



We bonded over Hannah Montana




Heroes...




Our favorite show of all time, Suite Life of Zack & Cody...





And music stylings of the Jonas Brothers...






But, Like all of this things, our friendship or relationship or whatever you like to call it, became extinct. Cheers for that! :D
