Dear readers,
Remember the painful feeling of not getting wat u want when you most needed it?
Well, if anyone ever needs to get a cough mixture and it jus so happens tt all the pharmacies are closed, dun lose hope cos I got jus the cure for yr pain (or cough). All u need to do is to go down to the nearest Han's restaurant and ask for their Mango Soda. It taste exactly the same except the soda version is diluted with ice.
Wa lau eh! Crap man!

Dear readers,
Just like to take the opportunity to share a concern our dear Heatsink might have... in case he is at wits end with finding the right present for his darling Opamp's coming 23th birthday. Well guess wat, there's no need to fret anymore. Here's a sure win tip: get her the Takashimaya Shopping Card. Sure it'll kill yr bank account but wat the heck right? The smile on her face is more than enough reason for u to slog at work for. Pls remember not to wait till her birthday to give it to her cos the sale ends 2 Nov!!! So hurry now, while stocks last. =P
Happy Deepavali. Enjoy the long wkend!

Dear readers,
I happened to chance upon a love quote while surfing the Net. Somehow, it kinda got me thinking and i thot i'll jus share it with u folks over here...
"Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down your house, you can never tell." Joan Crawford
My version... =P
"Love is a fire. Get yr own heatsink!" Gossip Gu-niang

Dear readers,
Jus to ans some qns posed in the last 2 msgs.
1. Our class rep asked abt the chalet in 2004. Yes, Shane is planning for it to be held in Dec 2004 (in his free time). As of today (until late 2004 i presume), no bookings have been made. So nothing is confirmed yet cos with terrorist bombings here and there every now and then, we really dun know which chalets would still be left standing by tt time.
Thus, there's is really no pt to plan too far ahead though many motivational speakers will tell u otherwise... =P
Jus keep in mind lah (in case there really is one). And if u happen to have a hot date on the same day as the chalet, jus bring yr partner along lah. Shane really dun mind one lah provided u pay for yr other half's share.
P.S. Xuan jie, i propose tt u read my earlier post regarding the Talent Night to be held during the chalet. u cannot claim ignorance when u kenna the very painful forfeit.
2. Our class most popular, most loved, most endearing actress has yet again brought up the issue on changing the lead actor and actress. But so far (at least for the last 3 yrs lah), i have not yet seen any member of the audience not thoroughly entertained nor heard any complains of sian, no fun, etc from them by any of yr numerous performances. u r like Zoe Tay of TCS. she been the lead for 15~20 yrs but her fans nvr get sick of more!
Ever heard of the saying:"If it ain't broken, dun fix it." ?

Dear readers,
As u take a bite into yr lotus paste mooncakes (the more adventurous folk might be testing out new flavours such as durian mooncake instead), slip yr Chinese Oolong teh or bubble teh for the younger generation and gaze at the full moon this Mid-Autumn Festival 2003, some of u, like me, probabaly had sweet old memories resurface in yr heads. The memories of the exact same occassion but of 2 yrs ago... Mid-Autumn Festival 2001... never fails to bring a smile onto my face =P
Therefore, I'll like to take this opportunity to thank the cast for the 'Chang Er ben yue' MTV filmed on tt fateful day. Its a performance not to be forgotten. Thanks for being such a sport!

Gossip Talk --- by gu-niang
Dear readers,
During a recent group gathering, I heard someone lament abt being poor and got no money to spend. Funny thing was, I happen to catch him covered in branded apparels from OP tee, Giodarno jeans, Teva scandals, Deuter bagpack and carrying one of those VERY EXPENSIVE metal water bottles made in Switzerland. These Swiss made bottles have been in fashion ever since some dork discovered tt drinking from the same mineral plastic bottle for too long can kill. So I guess millions of pp like u and I who have been doing jus tt shld start burning joss sticks or saying yr prayers to thank yr own God(s) for letting u off huh...
Back to topic. So the guy was full of branded stuff and even his hp is those got colour type. The only thing we din get to check was his underwear which some suggested tt might have been Hush Puppies. So there i was, confronted by this guy with incessant complains abt his financial woes but yet everything i owned from head to toe probably can't even match his footwear. Bummer, low morale siah.
So the next time u meet someone like i had, remember to check out wat his wearing/carrying. And if its a similar case to mine, u might want to do wat i did tt night (and forever and ever). Use his clothes, scandals, bag, Swiss bottle against him when the talk of no money comes out of his mouth.
Cheers to not raising the booking fees for sports facilities! Have a good wk ahead =)

Hi Bubble, haven seen u here for a long time. Glad to see u still drop by =)
Dear all, some pp have expressed concern over the Talent Time which is to be held during our class chalet projected to be in Dec 2004. Let me jus take this opportunity to reassure u guys tt there r at least a thousand and one things out there u can do during tt night which can help u avoid forfeit. So pls, no worries, stay cool... its gg to be a night of pure fun and entertainment and hopefully another one of those memorable sessions tt we always have together.
In case any one of u r still desperate for ideas on wat to do, i got one which u can consider all the way until next yr end. Its very simple. Bring a set of spare change (of clothes) and jump off Bedok Jetty!
=P

To the Founder of E20 blog and fellow administrator,
It's great to hear from u after so long... this blog reminds me of a common tv serial scenerio where the biological father, being a man caught within circumstances, dumps his son to the care of his good fren. I'm proud to tell u tt yr 'son' has survived the mths of yr negligence haha! =P It still commands a fan club of at least 3 pp which is abt 20% of the total no of members.
Since u have realised tt consistency matters in anything we do, i hope to see u consistently dropping by to leave words of encouragement for Heatsink to remind him constantly to be consistent and perservere in his quest to win back his true love. This is a good time for u to show yr concern and be a source of strength to yr dear fren.
Well, here r some words from me:
Heatsink Heatsink all the way!
Dun jus sit at home to pray,
Listen to Kelly and obey,
It'll make her bright and gay.
Better buck up by today,
Else u'll be digging yr own grave.
CHEERS. =)

How to Win yr gal from a “Better” guy!
3 Steps to win back yr true love
continued from [11/7/03]
Chapter 2
Step 2 - Enhance yr strengths, accentuate his weaknesses
“No man is infallible.”
In a recent poll conducted at Holland Village, it was ascertained tt one of the fundamental prerequisites most women want in their guy is height. Somehow it seems tt the ladies have conveniently correlated a man’s height to the amount of ‘an quan gan’ she derives from hanging out with him (much to the displeasure of the men present during the polls who were incidentally, all below 1.8m).
In another poll (done on the same grp of pp), it was discovered tt though height wins out, there is another trait tt women look for in men which is jus as important. And this being: a good conversationalist. Hence, as much as they want someone who can provide them with a sense of security when they r with, deep down, they also yearn for a guy who can provide them comfort though his words and can share their ideas, thoughts and lives.
The morale of the story is: If yr opponent is a taller person, the odds against u r proportional to the difference of both yr heights. The proportionality constant differs from individual to individual. However, do take heart as this does not mean the end of the world for u. So b4 u start running off to yr guy frens to KB, lets assess the situation again and look for possibilities…
Now, so wat if his taller than u?
If…
1. he’s a quiet person
2. he’s someone who prefers to keep to himself
3. those ard him usually have no idea wat’s on his mind
This might be yr best place to carry out Step 2.

Step 3 - Declare yr intentions

How to Win yr gal from a “Better” guy!
3 Steps to win back yr true love
continued from [9/7/03]
Chapter 1
Step 1 - Seize up yr opponent
“Know yr enemy, know yrself, every battle fought will be a battle won.” [Sun Tze]
Jus how good yr competition is would be the crux to determining an appropriate battle plan. Before u start to strategize, it is imperative tt you do a good background study of the challenger. Some fundamental qns tt comes to mind would be…
Is he tall?
Is he rich?
Is he a nice guy?
Is he good looking?
Is he a 1st class honours grad?
Is he appealing to women in an overall sense?
After finding the ans to those qns, the next set of qns u have to ask yrself…
Do I last 1 minute (average) into most of my conversations b4 I start complaining?
Do I keep saying I’ll fail my test and exams but end up getting distinctions?
Do I bet with pp if I’ll get into dean’s list when it’s a sure thing?
Do I complain excessively?
Do I get frustrated easily?
Is it a pattern in my life?
If u happen to encounter any difficulty in answering these qns, feel free to approach yr frens for assistance. Only when u have the necessary info required, r u ready to move on to the next step.

The following story I dedicate to someone whom I perceive as my most loyal reader in Blogger. I would like to take this opportunity to express my utmost appreciation for his support since the birth of this blog. He has been a source of inspiration for most of my work here. He’s also my biggest critic and at the same time my greatest fan.
I’ll like to pay tribute to this special someone...
You’ve been our source of fun and laughter, peace and joy.
You’ve brought colour to the mundane lives of engineering undergrads.
You’ve made NUS a memorable place in our hearts.
On behalf of the many pp whose lives you’ve brighten, Thank You!
How to Win yr gal from a “Better” guy!
3 Steps to win back yr true love
Prologue
So u wake up early in the morning feeling as if u've won Toto the night b4 and ready to take on the world. This energy stems from knowing yr true love has come back from her graduation tour in Japan. U r all excited cos its been 8 long days since you last seen her angelic face, heard her sweet girlish voice, msg-ed her on icq to chat abt how yr day has been and sms-ed her to report yr status. Jus thinking abt the wonderful things tt will resume from this day on make u beam with joy.
Alas, soon afterward joy turned into shock, shock turned into sorrow as u began to realize tt yr closest buddy. A fren since yr sec sch days has become yr arch rival in love. Already, the torment from his betrayal seem too much too bear but the thought of losing yr woman is unthinkable! U realise this will be as good as yr fight for survival bcos life w/o her is not worth living. As u brace yrself for the greatest challenge for the past quarter of a century, u grit yr teeth and recite in yr mind repeatedly tt this 1st class graduate will give his 100% and rise to the occasion!

Milestone addition
Shane kena insulted
This one is a classic!
It's Sem4 hols and we were again at 23 Duchess Ave. This time there wasn't any fishball eating competition. It was meant to be a tech comm tape viewing session. So we were eating dinner at the giant round dining table and it was a pizza hut / KFC delivery thing. Somehow, water seeped under the glass cover and we had to lift it and dry the water b4 it can damage the wood. Took quite a while jus to remove the heavy glass. Then Shane took the initiative to wipe the glass. I dun remember the exact words used but Bubble's mom said Shane got no strength. Funny siah...
Milestone addition
Yhow's chef stint
Remember the potluck at Ruben's house (not too sure when) where we were supposed to each bring a dish tt was preferably self-cooked? Yhow's "gu lou yoke" was one of the highlights tt night. We had divided opinions on the real identity of those pineapples in his dish. Some claimed tt they tasted like papaya. Others say it was in fact more like potato. Only minority was convinced tt it was really indeed pineapple.
