Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

Rollerblading =-=-=-=-=-=-= What a SHAG day, I would say. It was also a fun day and a fine weather too. Well, went rollerblading with Dennis and Meitoon today at ECP and it was real fun. I kinda have to thank Yonghan for teaching me intensively for 2hours with his skates during Qiulin's birthday last year!! Woa.. it was 1 year ago man! WOO... HA! Fell once though... but it was not so hurtful like the first time when I learn it. Well, there are alot of people rollerblading in ECP! Can't believe it that alot of people have secretly finding such enjoyment and didn't share it with me! HA! Certainly, rollerblading is a form of exercise as well as stress reliever for me though. YEAH! Can't wait to go again... :) Honestly speaking, I may consider to purchase a cheap one for myself so that I can rollerblade in Sengkang... along the pathway! COOL!! Dennis and Me Meitoon and Dennis, they look cool in skates right? HA! Breakwater talk =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Do u know what is a 'b

Material Science Friends =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Today after the papers, went out with my Material Science Friends to Parkway Parade to have a Thai Buffet. The place really improved alot and have alot of things there. Didn't buy anything but I was amazed to see that there are alot of people there, despite it being a working day. :) Oh yar, initially wanted to go to rollerblade one. Then, the weather turned out not so good and my click dun wanna go. Haiz. But anyway, there are sure bound to have time bah. :) Orchard Lights =-=-=-=-=-=-=- If you are free you should go and visit Orchard road to see the Christmas lights. Kinda cool though and love the Christmas tree. So huge! I was suppose to take this picture but then someone actually pushed me and when I pressed 'SHOOT' then, my hand jerked. It turned out to be the picture below... Nooch Dinner =-=-=-=-=-=- MY First time to Nooch... Think it's spelt like this though. ;) Ate with Hisham and Ray, who juz came back from Au

I am so dumbfounded by this!! Try it... ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Count every "F " in the following text: FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS... (SEE BELOW) HOW MANY ? 3? WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke. READ IT AGAIN ! The reasoning behind is further down. The brain cannot process "OF". Incredible or what? Go back and look again!! Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius. Three is normal, four is quite rare. Send this to your friends. It will drive them crazy.! And keep them occupied for several minutes..!

Hey! Slow paced =-=-=-=-=- Today is certainly a great weather of slow pace... Went to school in a slow pace. Walked together with the cold wind at the field in a slow pace. Walked to canteen slowly. Slept on the train, slowly entering dream state. Took a 2 hour nap, felt so good. Well, consoled 2 of my friends who are feeling kinda low from their examinations. I think I didn't really help Zhenhao. HA! Paiseh... But anyway, hey, examinations are like this. It does not matter how much effort you have put in, as the results are not proportional to it. The real idea is how much you have understood it. I actually tried this method and indeed it kinda worked for me lo. I try to relate the topics to myself and what/how a material scientist should do. But, at alot of times, its so damn dry. But baseline is really have to understand. Kinda enjoy my geography module this sem! Learnt alot. BUt overall, I find that science has alot of things to memorise and understanding comes to a cert

Picture of Mika's Bday celebrated by our very own GR (Golden Roosters) That day really ate alot and was a real suprise for her though. :) Oh ya, congrats that GR has sent 2 teams for the Uniquely Singapore Race. TOo bad that I can't join because of JAMX2006 but I will support you guys! Hope that on that very day, you guys will pass by the rock jamming competition!! YEAH!

My Weekend is one of the most memorable. Bus Trauma =-=-=-=-=-= Went to KL alone and the journey was exciting. Well, I ate alone at Yong Peng Food court at JB, I think, and the beehoon tasted so good. Then, went straight up towards KL. However, something happened. (of course need to have something happen to be exciting right?) At Sedang, the bus stopped beside the toilet and I thought it was toilet break. Then, I saw there are 2 couples getting their luggage. So it was a mini-stopping station for them. Me and another lady went to the toilet, thinking that it was toilet break. I feel like telling the driver, but in the end, didn't. Then, when I came out, I saw one of the 2 couple, a lady, whose eyes wide open. She knew I was one of the passenger and the more steps I walked out from the toilet, I saw that the BUS is GONE! Gosh! Then, I saw the gal coming out from the toilet. I told her that the bus left. SHE WAS Kinda shocked too... I was like, oh gosh! HA! Then, from the 2 cou

Cockster =-=-=-=- I didn't tell anyone except one about that I have discovered only this morning about myself! It was one of the most shocking and mind boggling for one to ever experience. Imagine that your mind has been conditioned that it is actually going to be A and then, 1 hour before it is going to happen, you then realized that it's B and you have to switch your mind from A to B. Aiya, it's about my exam. I thought that it was Structure exam all along and 1 hour prior to the exam, I then realized that it was Polymer exam! AH!! I was like, gosh, Mervyn, you have to believe it and have faith that you can do it. I was reading my notes, and then realised that the final consultation for Structure is today. I was thinking, yar, of coz today since today is the exam. BUT I WAS WRONG! It hit me! The exam should be tml since I recalled that my lecturer said that no CONSULTATION one day before the exam. To reconfirm, I took out my mini-diary and AHH! ML3101 (Polymer) is today

Yes! Tomorrow is the start of the reason why the Semester kick off... The exams. Can't wait to write on the exam paper! YES!! :) Anyway, today, ate alot of heaty stuff.. kinda feel feverish now. AH! Ate these... 1. Claypot 2. M&Ms 3. Indian Keropok 4. Fried Chicken Wing in Yong Tau Hu 5. Masalai Thosai Gosh! Shouldn't have eaten them today... Ate Vitamin C and drank alot of water already. But feel the formation of phlegm coming out lo! Hope tomorrow can go to exam hall in a safe condition. Well, everyone is so busy studying... Jiayou!

Everyone For those studying, all the best. For those working, enjoy ur day. For those retired, enjoy sleeping. For those sick, take care. For those happy, carry on. For those sad, learn from those who are not. For those tired, take a break. For those hungry, grab something. For those bored, do something. For those disappointed, look at the brighter side. For those reading this blog, you will be blessed. Poet Mervyn Spears

Problems =-=-=-=- Well, I believe that everyone has their own problems. And I feel that it is inevitable for one not to have a single one in their whole life. Why do we have it? Coz without them, one cannot grow and life will be boring. Just be contented and try and keep the problems within your control. You can do it! Mugging =-=-=-= Gosh. This is a term which I don't like to use. Get to know this word from last year and didn't use it at all in my speech. WHy? Coz I find it so dumb. Mugging, seems to me it's like you have no life. Having a mug of coffee/tea/drink and together with your notes to keep you company. And to top that up, so many of my friends in msn are having that as their nick! SO creative! ....... And no need to actually put it up to let everyone know that you are muggin' right? Things that I wanna do after exam =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 1. Swim 2. Suntan 3. Sleep 4. Save money 5. Skating? 6. Eat at JB 7. Prep for FOC Camp 8. JamX Prep 9. CSC

Mickey's Aftermath =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Before and..... After...

Well, today is kinda a day whereby my efficiency not so good. Maybe I prefer to study in school rather than at home? Hmmz Meitoon's Bday =-=-=-=-=-==-= Today, is Meitoon's bday. Fred and I initially thought of celebrating her bday at her room, by giving a surprise knock. Instead, things didn't quite happen that way. Fred bought lunch for all of us and called Meitoon up so as to ask her casually where is she. She didn't answer at all. Chloe thought that she has gone to MALAYSIA! HA! I thought that she may be in her hospital lesson, and indeed it was true. (I am so clever) Then, at 12plus, I buay tahan already. Called her and she answered! Wat the... Fred called 10 times and no one answer. But for me, once only. (I am so good) Then, I asked her casually about buying of yogurt at Georgie's mart (I am so lame) and the crap keep coming in. But heng, she didn't figure out... Even got her to meet me for lunch at PGP. Then, later, we decided to meet up at PGP at 1.30

Hi Everyone Well well, now I am currently studying in my clubroom. Feel kinda comfy and seeing alot of my friends studying, I also have the study mooD! Good! Anyway,today celebrated Mika's birthday and it was real fun, meeting up the Golden Rooster gang and ate the food bought from Clementi Hawker Centre. Well, these are the food that I think are on the table: 1. Satay (is it chicken?) 2. Egg with oyster 3. Beehoon 4. Meatballs (by Jiakai! V nice) 5. Otah 6. Rojak 7. Chicken and fries 8. Chuee Kuey 9. Nong Hiang (Dunno how to spell) 10. Mango Juice I think still got somemore but I can't remember le. Initially we planned to watch Tom Yam Goong, that Thai movie. Then, Hanmao has made it into a Mika Video, with the starting of Tom Yam Goong. So funny. Still got the scriptwritings at the bottom. HA! Then, showed the collections of all the videos from our Golden Rooster people. YEAH! So fun... Real amazed that love can really do alot of amazing things for a loved one. Well, I can

Today, I practically stayed at home today. Well, skipped two tutorials coz I don't feel like going... :) Do you know the real term of 'eat shit'? Well, just now brought my dog for nightwalk. And learnt it! My dog ate shit! When I washed his dirty legs, I smelt something very foul. Then, I washed his mouth and found that the smell was from there! GOSH! He ate shit!! EWwwwWWWwWW! This is the first time in my life that I encounter such shitty business! So shit! And stink! He ate so much that his front teeth got shit stuck. I brushed his shitty teeth and nearly wanna vomit by the smell of it! Gross... Juz dunno why he acted this way. Is shit that nice? Can someone please share? Maybe it is his revenge that he want to do this. Coz the whole day, he only walked twice, compared to his daily of four times. Kanasai...

Hi Everyone! Today I actually jogged alone in NUS Track at 5 plus today... It's been a long while eversince I have actually jogged alone. Initially I jioed Dennis to jog with me, but he didn't want. HA! So in the end, went alone... ha! Anyway, I jogged a total of ard 3km bah. Super slow pace. HA! By the way, alot of memories ran through my mind.. ha! All regarding me and the track... Well, the smell of the track,make me recall my army. During the morning jog at BMTC track, whereby they have just got a new track. Still remembering that it was kinda tough training for me because I used to swim instead of training on jogging before I went to army. Then, the thought of my OCS days whereby we have to jog and try to hit the gold timing of 9.44min. The thought of jogging together with my buddy, Wang Yang, came back. So amazing right? HA! The track also made me think of what I have learnt in JC2, Fmaths. Well, every straight line will meet its end point. HA! You get what I mean not

Hey! Juz completed a 1% grade of my Metals module. Find that it's kinda dumb to actually incorporate to 1%. I lift alot from the website and cut and paste the pictures. Simply heck it... HA! Handed up via online submission. Today is really a day which I am glad/tired/happy. Celebrated Jeremiah's birthday at the Double M in school. Feel happy as we get to get together and eat a meal too! WOO! And we chatted so much after that. Talking about that, below are the pictures to share! HA!!

Ha!! This picture is one of the most memorable... It was taken during my stepping down in the 3rd MC of CSC and we are all opening up our mouths wide... dunno what word we said! HA! So fun!! Looking forward to this Friday's movie screening at clubroom! COOL! HA! Jiayou everyone....

Enough is Enough Well well, I have tortured myself to study 'Understanding the Universe' for continuous span of 2days... Argh... Later am going to have my term test... Wish me luck though... HA! Why that title? Coz today, FINALLY rebooted the old computer at my ah-ma's house... and abstracted alot of old memory photographs... Simply love those days. Oh, back to the computer, i have done ENOUGH to help her already. YES! Oh, she actually said the magic word to me! THANKYOU without looking me at the eye... maybe i'm too demanding. But watever, after I heard that 7-letter word, I was feeling real gd! :) Today, met up with Mark and it was really a turn of event. Shocking from the start as I didn't know at all that he was wanting to introduce to me what he is currently into. I didn't go and attend the talk at all as I find that it didn't suit me... Gosh. This is my second time that happened to me... Getting invited for a meal and had another intention. Hmmz... Th

Today is a SUNDAY! And I took 1 bath 2 naps 2 meals 3 dog walks 4 chocolates 5 chapters Interesting right?! Anyway, today, brought Mickey down for walk... He didn't even pass motion when he's downstairs... When he is at my house walk way, suddenly, he stopped at my neighbour's mat. He began to spin and there he is, producing a brown solid. SHIT! Argh... and he make me do extra work. Cleaned his poo and u know what? This thought came to me... should I buy 4-D? I know i don't like the idea of betting... but then, I told Auntie Kim, "Can you help me buy 6505?" U know what? I ain't going to disclose something amazing... Please read on... Then, at 7pm, the radio told the results... my number didn't come out. But strange thing happened... the number 1148 came out! What is this number? It is actually the time that

SHIT! DumB ASS!! FFFFFFFFFF!!!!! Damn it!! Sorry that I am swearing but right now, I am feeling damn pissed off with my FIFTH AUNT!!! Crap! Wasted my 3 hours there and damn it!!! CRAP ASS!! The main aim of me to go to my ah-ma today was to abstract the photographs... then,apparently, the thumbdrive that I got from Yiwen was not big enough... then, i went down to get the CDs... Got it and wanted to burn it after zipping the photos together... then, apparently I can't burn it... at 99%, it said that there is ERROR!!!!!!! KNS Nvm, so I have decided to bring down my laptop to transfer the photos from the PC via thumbdrive...like that better right!? Then, she commented by saying: -Did u go and print the photos before? Ans: NO -The photos are not so sentimental, no need to keep la I was real pissed when she said this!! I argued back that they are sentimental to me coz it's memories... DAMN memories and you don't have... And I argued that she don't respect me at all! She

Went to clubroom and got some pictures! So I loaded them to my blog lo~ Below are the pictures taken at the first RVP meeting at CSC Clubroom... Photo of the Regular Volunteering Programme Heads and Secretary... Alot of people right? HA! Fred is the main person carrying out the meeting.. I'm the one in BLUE.. Dunno thinking about what and smiling away.. This is picture of me and Meitoon (the Clementi Chairperson). :) Wonder who took this photo without my permission... HA! But I liked it! Another pic which is taken at Zin's Bday... I didn't go but find this gaoxiao.. Fred ah, 3 ladies are working so hard and you just look at the camera! If I were you, I will also do the same thing!! HA!! :)

Hi Everyone Well, yesterday, as you guys know it's HARI RAYA! And I was invited to go to my neighbour's hse (Auntie Kamejah-- pronounce 'car-me-jar'). It was a whole lot of fun and of coz, we ate. My Aunt and Mum did the typical thing... ate and left.. Wat the.. And left me alone and coz it's actually not so polite to leave that early, i don't mind to chat with the rest of the new friends at the house. Chatted with Veronica, an ex-teacher and she is a Mum too! I'm not so excited that she's a mum but she has a cat and she really took gd gdgdgd care of him! He's name is Orion... and he was fed with cat food from France, Spain, Australia... U name it they have it... And from the chatting, we felt that dogs/cats are really leading a very good life. They juz have to bark/meow when they want attention or when they are hungry... We, owners, are practically considered as slaves to them! Once, I came back home from work and you know what? Mickey greeted me

MADNESS!!! I am having a whole lot of problems with my 5th AUNT!! AH!!! We are like chicken and ducks on the phone... refuse to hear each other speak... She can constantly blabber at stuff which she presumes/assumes (whatever the term). Gosh! I was patient initially but as times goes by, NO! This patience has sublimed! NOOO! Feel that it was self-induced problem which I brought to myself... She wants to reboot my old comp and all my old photos are in it!! KNS!! And i have to WASTE one day to go down again to retrieve them... AND LISTEN TO THIS! I bet that she wont say THANK YOU and she will keep on commenting... KNS! She keep on opening programmes which is not supposed to be opened in her jobscope... WHY IS SHE SO KAYPO!!! Yes, my old comp got alot of errors... but you do not need to open those errored programme!! What the... go and buy a new computer la!! I know I shouldn't be complaining but I really feel like my BLOOD BOILING!! KANASAI!! Idiot me for accepting the task in the f

Last night didn't go to clubbing... coz everyone (including my sis, her friends and bf are kinda tired). Actually I was feeling kinda tired too... HA! Watched 40 year old Virgin today and it was very funny movie. Actually it's been a long time eversince I have caught a movie and apparently it is a simple and humorous storyline... should go to get a good laugh... Alot of the actors present are kinda new and never seen before... maybe they act alot of movies and I happen not to catch them at all. HA! But think i wont be going to catch a movie anytime soon alr... Gotta get on to BOOOK! I love BOOks! YEAH! Power of spoken words =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I am going to study! I am going to study! Mervyn can study and always ready. Yes... it may sound quite sick to say that, but I don't care! I am now HARDWORKING SPEARS.... HS

Hi Everyone! Today is real day of zero studying... AH! I have to buck up! And finish the project that me and Felix are doing.. Well, today got up at 12pm... (so late right) and headed to my Ah-ma's house to fix the modem and the printer connection. Managed to get the pacific net account activated and there is internet connection in my ah-ma's house for the first time! COOL! Apart from these gd news, there are bad ones... My 5th Aunt didn't really appreciate that I come to her house and do it for her... and she is kinda pig-headed and didn't want to listen to what I advised her... Watever lo... I didn't argue much with her and left without saying bye to her... Then, mum told me that she dared not use the computer already because there are alot of files and scared that it may be unstable... I have explained to her before that this thing won't happen... See what I mean about not listening to me!?? ARGH Went to help out with my friend with his insurance filing and l
