BOTC had just ended. I'm so glad to be in this batch of BOTC. They are really fun and loving people. Thank God for BOTC Residential Camp, if not for that, I don't think we will leave the course with so much memories and I believe we definitely will up again and catch up with one another.

School has started for almost 2 weeks. I'm still trying to get my engine started to adapt to school all over again. Assignments are given and their due dates are so close. Ever wonder how year 3 students survived, well, I'll try to survive and we'll see.

I'm beginning to love E-Learning. Honestly, I hate it. I think it's a waste of time when they just make us sit in front of the computer and make us do some review questions then go off for break. I find it boring. But now, I'm beginning to like it. I realized that laboratory has been tough. Last time I can handle all the lab works all my myself, now I can't. I'm really struggling with it. I burnt one IC chip this week during lab and there was this very strong burning smell and both my partner and I got worried and panicked, and we switched off all the power supply. After that we laughed so hard.

There were a lot of visitors in school today and every lecturers looked so stress. We were all told to behave and wear our lanyand (Apparently, nobody bothers to bring let alone wearing it) while we were doing our lab work. We looked like some animals in some zoo or cages where were all put in transparent glass classrooms and all the visitors just walked around happily looking at us. Well, a lot of them say that level is like Orchard Road, it's the hot place.
My lecturer was explaining the lab work, we all saw smoke coming out from one of the devices. A mini explosion took place in the lab. The whole class got panicked and then again, we smell something burning. Some of us were laughing and said that luckily there wasn't any more visitors standing out there if not they will get a shock too. Or maybe they will be wondering what kind of experiment the school teaches these days. My lecturer quickly get the fan, opened the door, if not all of us will be poison to death.

I'm graduating soon, real soon. Looks like I got to step out of my comfort zone to make more new friends in my class.

Me: "Uncle, how to get (from Orchard) to Bugis?"
Bus Driver: "Take bus 65."

So, my friend and I happily boarded the bus and we were looking out for a while. We were on our way to Sim Lim to meet a friend and decided not to take a train, thinking that bus will be faster and the walking distance is nearer.

I was feeling sleepy so I told him to keep a look out while I take some power nap. We passed by Mustafa and then Little India. I was wondering how come it is taking so long to reach Bugis. It was dark and raining out there so we could not really see the road out there. We continued our journey and I slept a bit too.

It was until when I woke up and realised that the bus was turning towards the expressway and it got me worried so I suggested to alight the bus. The place was so alien to us that we didn't even know where we were. I was having a hard time to figure out where we were. I asked my friend where is Mustafa exactly and he told me bugis. At that time I really didn't know to laugh or to cry. Then to my horror of horrors, we were at MacPherson!

Goodness me, we passed Bugis long way ago. So we quickly called our friend and he was quite shocked to know that we actually were in some other parts of Singapore. He drove to where we were and we all had dinner there.

Well, at least it gave us a chance not to decide where to eat and just flow with the direction of our lost ways..

Haven't been blogging for the past 2 weeks. I have been baby sitting, learning how to drive and attending camps.

Baby sitting can be pretty tiring to take care of a baby. Every time the baby cries, I wonder what does that mean. It can be quite fun playing with the little one.

Driving has been fun. Learning from left turns, to right turns, to U-turns, to 3-point turns, rolling off from a slope, parallel parking and vertical parking. Well, it's until my 6th lesson then I realised that my instructor's seat has a brake! She brake the car for me even before I stepped the brake and making me wonder how come my car can brake by it's own.

BOTC residential camp is real fun. Though it's only a 2 days 1 night trip, we experienced all the outdoor activities from water obstacle course, trekking, pitching tents, outdoor cooking (at night when you can't see what you are cooking and eating, no forgetting some other things that flew into the mass tins while cooking) and playing with water.

My holidays is ending real soon. This holiday has been one of the most restful, fruitful and exciting one. Unlike the rest of my holiday, I rested quite a bit though I work part time. I have been spending time in the kitchen and my oven doing baking and I really enjoyed it. It's the baking and tasting that makes me fat okay..

It time to put my heart back to where it belong for this semester... School, when will it ever end?

I've been learning to drive. It's quite fun, having my engine stall at the traffic junction for few minutes, screaming in the car when my instructor was trying to do a U-turn for me (I forgot to let go my steering so it seemed like it was going to hit the kerb) and keep making left turns.

I was about to move off from the traffic light when it turned green and my engine stall. By the time I re-start my engine and trying to get my biting point, the traffic turned red. I really hope I wasn't the cause for those who were tested yesterday to fail. It's just my first time driving.

Today I made great improvement. Other than stalling 4 consecutive times at the traffic junction, I was having fun driving at 3rd gear.

Self-Confidence makes driving easier.
