Went to Ashley's condo with Aaron today to swim. HAHA it was so
funny. I love to jump into clod water while aaron was like freaking
out on me that the water was so cold. I mean the look on his face
was "Priceless''. HAHAHA

Later went to orchard to do walk around. Actually we wanted to
study but it was like so packed. All the seating area were full.
After that met my mum and went to Simei to have some Turkish
food. ^^ Turkish are like my favorite food.

Rushed home to watch the Simpsons Halloween special marathon.
HAHA yes I am a big fan of the Simpsons.

I started to watch the Simpsons since I was in primary school.
Initially I had trouble understanding because their jokes were
made for only teenagers and adults to understand.

HAHA time for to go do my thing (watch some more Simpson)

Today we head over to food court at business block
for lunch. For those who are SB students, get use to
seeing us there because we end early on friday and we
are just bored of the food at the other food courts.

Love my new study place. I went there after lunch
to finish up my homework. Studying at a museum
it just wonderful. It peaceful and the seats are like
so dam comfortable that when i sat on it, I went into
sleep mode for awhile. HAHA

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, recently I have been upset
over a few stuff. Particularly one of my classmate. I don't
care if he read this and get all fired up I simply don't.

Here something, you do not do to other people's profile
and start adding their friends like you know them in person.
Especially family members. This dickhead classmate of my
went to facebook profile and started adding my SISTER
to his friend list. Being a brother showing care and protection
for a family member is important. I questioned him and start
giving stupid excuses like "oh i thought facebook must add your
mutual friends and all that stuff." What the hell were you thinking.-.-

Right now he does not talk to me because he knows that I am
pissed. Okay he is this desperate guy. He thinks he is so good looking
and cool when clearly he is not. The worse part is he thinks that
he can get the girls to like him within a week without meeting each other
in person. OH PLEASE!!!!!!!

Everybody knows that just plain stupid.

This are the people who only throw School of EEE face. It people like
you who gives EEE a bad name. Thanks to motherfuckers like YOU
people think that our talent is being fantastic at one night stands.

Wish you will just disappear.

HAHA I love to watch stand up comedy. I spent most of my time
on the laptop watching stand up comedy. That where I learn how
to be funny by learning their their sense of humor.

Today Deming introduce this comedian to me. His Gabriel Iglesias
and he always featured in comedy central a television channel station
in the Untied States.HAHAHA I spend most of my time today watching
his video and laughing my ass off. Here one of his video to show you
guys how funny he is.
Today my Gurmit Singh Lecturer (programming)
commented on my work and decided to show it to
the whole class. It rather stupid because he didn't
know who was it. -.- HELLO!!!!! My awesome
name was written so clearly on the paper and you
could not see it? WTH man !!!!

It took him quite awhile to realize that it was done
by Bennie Tan. Haiz

He went on to say that he liked my work.
I was like "HUH??? You like my work??"
He"Yes your flowcharts are all correct."

I think my lecturer was under influence of alcohol
when he said he liked my work. LOL kidding.

Boost morale for me HAHAHA.

Today was a tiring day. I only had 4 hours of sleep thanks
to my programming homework. During my DE lecture I
doze off twice. My lecturer had to like stop the lesson and
go to my seat to wake me up. The second time he tried to
to wake me up I nearly fell out of chair and whole class
started to laugh at me. WTH -.-

At least I am grateful for such lecturers who takes the liberty
to go to my seat and wake me up because they are worried that
I will miss out on important points. They know that I fall asleep
by accident.

Some just don't care. They just leave you behind to rot and die.
So far I do not have any lecturers who treats me like that.

My timetable is partly to be blamed. I have no lesson that starts
after 12pm. My earliest is 8am and the latests is 10.30am.

STUPID TIMETABLE MAKING BENNIE'S LIFE LESS AWESOME
THAN BEFORE. HAIZ

Yesterday did not get the chance to blog cos I was
too busy with my Programming homework. I started
like from 9pm and ended like around 2am.

I don't really like programming, I mean after my bad
experience I had during DPA I was so reluctant
to attend this module.

So far it alright I guess?

I think my programming lecturer is from Hong Kong
because he has this accent that make him sound like
he is from Hong Kong.

And the weird part is that he somehow looks like
the Singapore actor Gurmit Singh.

So yes I have a programming lecturer who looks and
sound like Gurmit Singh with alittle beat of Hong Kong
accent added into it.

I am like so happy right now.
YES AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAN U GOT OWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LIVERPOOL DID A WONDERFUL JOB TODAY.
Especially the goal keeper with all that wonderful
saves. Match was just exciting, I was glued to the
television the whole time hoping for Liverpool to
score and they did !!!!!!!!!!

Ok football aside.

Tomorrow is going to be a great day. My lecturer
for PEEE had decided to cancel lecture and practical.
So because of that instead of going to school at 10.30am,
tomorrow I just need to report to class at 3pm. ^^

Awesome!

But it abit weird because tomorrow I will only have a two
hour lesson and then school ends. HAHA TRAVEL HALF
ACROSS SINGAPORE FOR just two hour lesson. HAHA
like not worth it but I dun care. I don't really want my
lecturer to have a bad impression of me.

Ok time for me to go and watch another football match.
West Ham vs Arsenal.

I have really nothing much to say today. So decided to blog about this great
guy shown in this photo. I took this photo while I was touring New York City.

I was at Battery Park, Manhattan on my way to see the Statue of Liberty.
This man would come here on weekends to entertain the tourist who are
queuing up to go see the statue of liberty. He really entertaining. Like for
an example, when he saw my tour group queuing. He started to sing this
"I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU" in Chinese and he will go on to sing "that
how you I love you in Chinese." LOL he will come up to random people
and ask them where they were from. So he approached this lady.

Him "Where are you from Miss?"

The Lady "Oh I am from Cleveland, Ohio !!!"
Somewhere in America.

Him" Oh Ohio!!! They say you get free kisses from a woman in Ohio."

Haha and to my surprise the woman laughed and say "Oh really??".
Then he started to sing about this woman from Ohio coming to New York
and everyone would start laughing and the lady also join in the laughter.
Some will start to clap to the beat of the music and some started cheering.

This something you don't really get to see in Singapore. If let say he comes
to Singapore and do what he is doing in New York. People might think he
is crazy.

Let just say Singaporeans are not as sporty as the Americans. They can't
take jokes and they things too seriously.

Found this video on youtube to show you guys how popular and
entertaining he is.

TGI(Thank goodness it) Friday !!!!!!!!!!!!

It only the first week of school and already I have started studying
as if exam was like next week. It not that I have no life and I start
mugging like crazy. It just that I cannot afford to fail my engineering
maths again. YES I failed maths for a second time.

The reason are quite obvious. I did not listen in class, I always slept
through that lesson. So it clearly my fault. So it time to get it right.

Anyway on the bright side I did okay for the other papers.
Talk about result is boring and just not entertaining.

Guess what? I just found this cool place. It in the city area.
It a great place to study, the environment is wonderful.
I went there to study and turns out my productivity level
is much higher than before. Beside a great place for studys,
it a great place to take photos and chill out.

I can't really tell you guys this place because I dun want like
people know that place and start flocking to that area and
soon it will become just like some ordinary study place.

I had lesson from 8.30am- 5.30pm today.
New lecturers. One in particular caught my attention.
I can't really remember his name but he had problem
pronouncing my name. I mean is it really hard to
pronounce my name? It really easy. Here is how you
pronounce my name.

WORD OR NAME : BENNIE

BROKEN DOWN TO GIVE YOU

'BEN-NIE'

You see so easy!!! So short and sweet. Oh and by the way
only AWESOME people are being name "Bennie". HEHE

Ok back to my lecturer. He will do things to catch our attention.
Take for an example, during our short break he will play a
music video from the Korean girl band wondergirls (song name: nobody)
and he started to perform for us. When I looked at him, I was
shocked and disturbed. HAHA but it really nice of lecturers who will
do anything to catch our attention.

Class is getting fun. Doing a lot of retarded stuff that I will not mention.
HAHA tomorrow another awesome day awaits me. =D
Monday, October 19, 2009


First day school has finally started and what better way to start
school by being late for class by 15 minutes. It was rather irritating
when my class keep asking what GEMs I am taking when clearing
I had told them before that I already completed my GEMs during
my DPA.

Lesson was great, I did not sleep in any class which is good because
I told myself I can't afford to sleep in any lesson if I want to do well.
For my TCS lesson, I had a change of lecturer. Her name is Ms Mel.
She not a boring lecturer THANK GOD FOR THAT!!!!

She owns a macbook AIR which is so cool. I love to admire Apple
products because of their cool software and design of their laptops
and other products such as speakers and Mp3 players.

Ok school aside. I got back home and watched this documentary.
It called whale wars. It shows the journey of this group of animal
activist called the sea shepherds and their battle against the whale
hunters who are hunting whales in Australian waters. It really a
cool show. People willing to put their lives on the line in order to
save the whales from being hunted by the Japanese whale hunters.

I am tired time for my sleep. =)
Sunday, October 18, 2009
Haha I am like so looking forward to school right now.
All that learning, doing of tutorial worksheet, writing
down notes and so on. I just can't wait for school to
start.

Okay I was bluffing. I am not looking forward to school
because of that. I looking forward to meeting my classmates.
Haven't seen them for like 6 weeks. Wonder what has become
of them?

I think I should stop now. My class starts at 10am and I need
my beauty sleep. Till next time people.

So today is deepavali. Every Indians favorite day. So
I hang out with the family at vivo city today and guess
what we saw? Well you guessed it, Indians and lots of
them.

I turn to my mum and said this:

me ''mum I feel like in a trailer''

mum "what trailer?"

me ''my future trip to India is being played in front of us
right now mum."

HAHA yes it my dream to go backpacking in India.
I like to get lost in places like this. Communicating
with them will be really funny and challenging.

Beside India, I always wanted to go North Korea.
Been to the South Korea twice and starting to get
bored with it. They say is a whole different whole
at North Korea.

This is movie is very funny !!!!
It set in 1998 and it is about four star wars fans. Not just some
ordinary fans but hard core fans. They worship the movie till
the point where one of them design his van into a spaceship
featured in the film and they know every single thing about
star wars and I mean everything !!!!

It was six month before the premiere of Star Wars episode 1
Phantom Menace when the Fanboys were hit with bad news.
One of their friend was diagnose with cancer and he has like
four more months to live. Because of that, they went on this
crazy road trip to George Lucas's (creator of star wars) ranch
where the film is located to steal and watch the film.

If you not seen the Star Wars movies, my advise don't watch
"Fanboys" cos you will have no idea what the entire show is about.

Went to Maxwell market with the family to have lunch.
The food was awesome, we got the chance to eat the
best chicken rice in Singapore and it was just so good !
Of course we did not just had chicken rice, we had other
but I have no idea how to describe it. Oh found out
something cool today, I was walking to Maxwell market
and I saw a limo (long luxury car) !!!!!

I was surprise to see that because almost everyone in
Singapore would know that having a limo in Singapore
is just not practical.

So after our super duper awesome lunch, we headed to
Raffles City to do some shopping. Went to two different
Topman outlets to get a sweater and a shirt. It was a
on sales when I got it but here the best part, my mom
happens to be a member of Topman/Topshop. Because
we were given a further discount. Example if a shirt is
sealing at discounted price of $19, with the help of her
membership and UOB card, I am able to purchase
the item at only $17.10!!!!

I just love shops with such awesome policy !!!!!
Thursday, October 15, 2009
I can't say that I mugged a lot today. That will make me
liar. I could go to hell for that. HAHA

Hang out with Ashley at mos burger. Chat and went shopping.
OMG here some news, topman and topshop are having like sales!!!!

The reason for the cheap clothing, it the change of season and they
have new design coming in so they need to clear the old stock.
Shirts that used to cost as high as $36, now going for $19.

HAHA must exercise my hands cos going to shop for clothing tomorrow.

Went tomorrow is going to be great day cos my mum will be bringing
me and sis to Maxwell market for lunch. Oh yay !!!!
They have a lot of super duper awesome food.

In English it called "Haeundae:The deadly Tsunami"
I love this film. It great piece of work the director has created.
It realistic and it put movie goers at the edge of their seats.

Short plot, it just about a big tsunami hitting the city of Haeundae
and how it affect different people and their love ones. Through out
the movie I was like glued to the screen the whole time cos there
suspends in this movie. There were some scene where a lot of
innocent lives were lost. I could heard some people crying. But
overall it a excellent piece of work and should see it.

I notice something between American films and Korean films.
American films like to jump straight to the point while Korean
films like to pro-long the film with lots of scene about family and
relationship between a couple and all that stuff. That is something
special about Korean films, they are very family orientated.

Maybe one day Hollywood can learn a thing or two from the Korean
film industry.

I decided to get my hair cut because of a few reason.
First reason is because school is starting soon and I want
look more neater. Second people have been telling me that
lots of guys are leaving their hair long. Because of that I
decided to cut my hair short to be different from the rest of
the guys who wants to be a Korean or Japanese wannabe.
Lastly I am just sick of having long hair.

Like what Gary said " From the time I first met you in
February until now, your hair has not change one bit !"

I like my new hair like a lot. Seriously!!!!
It took two tries to get the hairstyle I want.
Initially the hairstylist finished cutting my hair, it look
quite weird. I mean I really look like shit.

We stared at the mirror, both of us started giving the
weird look. So she told me "You want to cut something else?"
I was like "sure, I am with you."

After that it was so much better. What a relief. The first
haircut I look like the guy in the Korean movie.
What is called?
Detroit metal city.

How you know how crappy I looked after my first haircut.


Sunday, October 11, 2009
Okay so here it goes. Five weeks had just pass like that.
JUST LIKE THAT!!!!! Seem like yesterday I just ended
school and now I have to dig up my textbooks from the
drawer and get ready for school.

Today was good. After my church service, me ,my sis
and my mum were waiting by the road for a taxi to
bring us to Bugis. We waited for a long time for the
cad to come by.

While waiting I told my mum:

me " hey mum, you know if you are nice enough maybe
you could buy me a car so that I could drive you
around and need not have to wait so long for a taxi."

the mum" hmmm okay, sound like a good idea. Maybe
and I say MAYBE I will get you one so that
you can drive me around."

me(in my mind) " woooohooooo"

I am so going to apply for driving tomorrow. ^^
First car here I come !!!!!!!
Saturday, October 10, 2009
My new time table is the same as ever. The only different
is that there is a change in modules and lecturers.

So the holidays are coming to an end and in another
2 weeks time, I will be back in school mugging and
having fun with my friends and all.

Heard that a second CCA showcase is going be held
in school. That really wonderful cos right now I am
without a CCA and it can get very boring without a
CCA. I cannot go on without a CCA because I want
to go to the university and with the help of a CCA,
it will make my admission into the university slightly
easier.

The next week I am going to start revising my past
work. Refreshing my mind so that I don't that lost in
school. My GPA improved, that a relief.
Thursday, October 8, 2009
Went out today to watch this movie with Gary. It based on a
comic-novel. A very awesome piece of work the director has
directed. It depicts the future where people have robots that
made their life easier by helping with their regular stuff while
the humans just slack at home and control them.
I would not tell you the rest because I would just spoil the whole
thing just by telling.

Awesome movie! You should watch it.
Wednesday, October 7, 2009
I took this picture while on my way to Boston city. I was in
the state of Vermont. It really easy to tell which state you are
in by looking at the car plates on the road.

I like this picture a lot. It shows endless road to I have no idea.
So life is like a road trip. Along the way people enter my life, some
making my life better or some making it worse. Some come
in to stay for good others for a short period time.

Things aren't the same as before. I miss the old you. Right now
you are like this whole different person. Maybe it because we
are different schools but same polytechnic and we are influence
by different people.

So sad it has become like this.
Tuesday, October 6, 2009
You want to know what I dislike?
People who don't bother to try.

I don't deserve to be treated like this.
Here the awesome present from my friends.

The usual boxer a tradition
You might be wondering what is this thing?
It a voodoo doll!!!!!!
A note that send people to hell
(not real )
Here something for school.
Now you have seen it. I sound dangerous HAHAHA.
Beware of Bennie!!!!
You piss him off he decide your ending (kidding la)
Monday, October 5, 2009
Finally I am 18 years old. Age is catching up on me.

So I was on the train with my friends and one of good friend
Ashley look at me and said "OMG Bennie you got a white hair!!!"
I just turn 18 my hair already is turning white. Talk about early
mid-life crisis. HAHA

My 18th birthday celebration was awesome!!!!
It was way better than my 16th birthday.

I had a lot of fun. It was nice of them to come and visit me while I was
at home. The last time I had so much people coming to my home was
like Chinese New Year.

So we chill out at my home checking my photos from my America trip,
enjoying Hersey's chocolate and maple candy. I like it when people tell
that my house has this cosy feeling. So after chilling out at my crib, we
headed over to my mum's restaurant to have our dinner. How nice of
my mum to help me order the food. It was a Thai restaurant so obviously
we had Thai food. It was great that everybody enjoyed the food expect
for Kith who could not really stand the taste of Tom Yam soup. (whatever)

(for those who could not make it, sure a pity you guys did not get the chance
to eat good chocolate and good Thai food)

After the awesome dinner we headed over to Bugis because my dear friend
is addicted to that toy machine that you see in the arcade. Worth the trip
because she managed to win something.(great work)

Now for the best part. After that we headed to Bishan to do some prawning.

Now I remember, the last I went prawning was with my Dad when I was
still in primary school. That was until my Dad left us back in 99' then I did
not go prawning.

So at the prawning we had lots of fun. With the help of beginners luck we
were able to catch a lot of prawn. Learned how to put bait on a hook from
Daniel and Ashley. After catching the prawn, we went to barbecue the
prawn and had a super duper awesome supper.

After prawning we went home like around 2plus in the morning.

I very grateful to have friends like this. Willing to put aside their busy schedule
to come and celebrate my birthday. How nice of them to come. Many thanks
to my DPA friends plus Ashley for the celebration and the awesome presents.
Very creative I like!!!

It been like 3days since I came back to Singapore from my New York trip
and I have a bit of a problem adjusting back weather. In America and Canada
the weather is very pleasant. I did not sweat the whole entire time I was there.
I met a few people down there. We had a chat with the custom officer from our way
from Canada to USA. The dude was like telling us that he been to Singapore and
he loved the weather. He hated the weather in his country.

So I was like if you hate the weather in your country and I hate mine, why not we
trade places. HAHA stay in America for good and goodbye to Singapore.

I had the opportunity to visit three Universities in America and Canada. They were University of Toronto, Harvard University and Massachusetts of Institute of Technology(MIT).

All three campus all have something in common. Their campus design is just beautiful and they had these historical feel when you enter the campus. The campus provided students a pleasant environment for the students to study.

When you are in the campus you could not feel the tension and stress. That because I am not studying in any of the three universities. But the students do not show any stress or tension. In fact the whole time I was there, the student were cheerful and high.

It so different from Singapore. First of all Singapore's campus like SP and NUS have one thing in common, boring campus feel. Every time I enter the campus in SP, I can feel the stress and tension. Most of the students are always giving that stress looking face.

Making your day rather boring and down. The building design of all the campus in Singapore are like WTH!!!

Take for example, SMU and RP. Both schools are new and their campus give a feel likeyou are in the future. But the campus does not have the campus look. Especially SMU. When I saw SMU my first thoughts were "nice shopping mall".

Here what I am going to do. Maybe and I say maybe I planning on pursuing my degree oversea. Could be anywhere expect China. I don't mind India (awesome in engineering and IT). I want to learn from the best. I want to go to places where they do not focus so much on grades but instead in understanding.


MIT
Harvard University
University of Toronto

Ah finally got some motivation to blog. For those who still don’t know,the past two weeks I was on vacation at America and Canada. I will not be uploading my photos on blogger because there is like 3oo plus photos. I have already uploading all the photos on facebook. During the trip I went on road trips, hopping from city to city. From first to last day I started with Philadelphia àWashington D.CàBuffalo Cityà Torontoà Ottawaà Montrealà Québec cityà Bostonà New York City. So let get started.

1st day

Woke up at around 7.30am because we had to be at the airport by 8.30am. My flight was delayed because they forgot to refuel the plane. So instead of leaving at 10am we left Changi Airport at around 11am. It was 5 hour flight to Shanghai to transit to another plane to JFK airport, New York. So at Shanghai Pudong airport, we had to wait for three hours. So during that time me and my family we went to this café. So at the café I ordered a glass of iced coffee. Normally in Singapore, iced coffee has milk in it. But in China their iced coffee contains no milk. So yes it black coffee with ice in it. Ewwww this Chinese suck at coffee making big time. After drinking my coffee, I boarded plane. It was a 15 hour flight from Shanghai to New York. Usually this long hol flights, you expect the plane to have a personal entertainment. When too bad for me I was taking Chinese Eastern airlines and they don’t personal entertainment. They only had like this adapter in front of you to pluck in your laptop or DVD player. But not all adapters were working. So I had to like pluck my DVD player at my mum’s seat. My flight was miserable. The seat was uncomfortable, the food was terrible, and the stewardess service was not good. Reach New York at around 10pm. Got stop at the American custom because they thought my passport was expired. They did not check the next page. After that the Police officer started asking me a lot of question.

Officer (intimidating voice)’’Why did you come to New York?”

Me” For holiday.”

Office” How long are you staying in USA?”

Me”11 days”

Officer” What your occupation?”

Me ”Student”

After that he looked at my passport and he looked at me and he went to do that a few times. I was like feeling abit scared fearing that they will not allow me into the US and deport me back to Shanghai (they like to do that). But no, the guy let me through. That a relive. After that we went to collect our luggage and what the hell another check. Asked even more question. Reached the hotel around 1am thanks to all that wasting time at the airport.

I don't wish to go on because if I do so, this post can itself turn into a book. Too many thing to say. So let me summaries. The whole entire trip I did a lot of sightseeing, checking the White House at Washington D.C, CN tower at Toronto, Niagara Falls at Buffalo city, and most of the sights at New York City. The food there sucks like hell, we had most of our meals at Chinese Buffets restaurant. The food taste taste like crap. I crossed half the world to eat western food and instead I end up eating more Chinese food than Western food. At least I got to try their pizza and I love like a lot.

So overall I had a lot of fun. At least I get to shop =D

Want to know more about my trip to USA and Canada, feel free to ask me. I will be delighted to tell you my experience.
