ps curse

2008-05-08T15:50:00.002+08:00

grr... i wasnt supposed to have the time to blog.. but the ps curse that was stuck with me gave me some more "me time" today..
was supposed to go yanyi's house to bake.. yay! love to try baking... but always no chance to try it out.. knowing yanyi & yiying love this kind of thing, so we finally settled on this unique gathering during this hols!

but wenqi had to help her mommy pack stuff for her house-moving. well, she doesnt have to move house until she comes back from her grad trip to taiwan. & well, we arranged this meet-up long ago, didnt we?? of all days, she had to pick this day to pack. "cos i have been going out this week" oh wells. so our meet-up is dispensable?? you cannot postpone,reject outings on the other days huh?? haiz...
so my time is worthless. what's the point of keeping to your promise, clearing your day for your friends, when all they have to do is tell you at the last minute, "sorry, i cant meet up"....

欲疯不疯不疯则疯

2008-05-08T15:16:00.003+08:00

我希望他快点发疯。
也许我是个坏妹妹。但是他这样的行为，我真的会惧畏。
这个学期，无形的压力压得我透不过气。朋友越来越自私也就算了，他偏偏选择回家苦读。我不喜欢给自己压力。但，他在房里踢来撞去，拍东打西，我能不被影响吗？
现在都没什么事，他也是喜欢发飙就发飙。同在一个屋檐下，我做事却得小心翼翼，以免他有任何不爽，又在一次摔物砸门。
自由，你在哪里？
劝说爸妈送神经质的他去看病，他们却拖拖拉拉。由他们去吧。
只是到时候，看是他终于无法控制自己了，还是我这个被压抑的高压机先被引爆。

to go or not to go??

2008-05-06T22:01:00.005+08:00

if it (happening in 2 yrs' time) includes her, should i still go??
or rather, will i still be as happy as i would?

those 2 outings with the group, i truly enjoyed myself!
i think im like them too, making friends, well, just because we want to be friends. Even until now, yes, i do know the existence of "fake" people, but no, im choosing not to be like them. she's not bad a person really. But then again, how do you know it's that her true self and not acting? After all, i've experienced enough of her superficial behaviours. The more i get into contact with her nowadays, the more i feel that she's making a political relationship with us (or maybe just me?).
I dislike it.

"You dont feel embarrassed meh? When she asked why we nv jio her..."
"Actually.... no"
haha. well, i cant help it. im a straightforward person.
Friends will say, "NO, I CANNOT!" even, "CHANGE IT!!!"
Political friends will say, "I'd love to... but...."
True friends stick enough to be involved all the time.
Political friends need to be invited.

suayy week for petty me

2008-05-02T23:00:00.005+08:00

just in 4 days, i kena pangseh-ed by 13 people!!!! grrr... angry sia! waste my effort to arrange, waste my time to travel...

wed (Kallang Leisure Park outing) - by mommy
Well, yao-gui me wanted to utilise the promo coupons i printed from SBStransit. Cos the deadline is this day & cos i dun wanna waste them, booked mommy to go "shopping" a long time ago. But just the morn, she realised that e place we are gg to, is a place where we need to change bus to reach from home. After calculating, she realised it was bo-hua to go there. After all, the coupons are all "buy-one-get-one-free" & stuff like bubble milk tea, breakfast sets, desserts... okkaayy lor... tot i wanna spend some mommy-girl time also mah... =(

thur (Kbox) - by Dongyu (organiser) & weibin
wah liaoz. alr said i will make it since there are at least 3 of us gg. Had managed to keep my labour day holiday free for u guys ever since tt time u asked me to. cos i know u gotta leave for england soon... A*star scholarship or is it DSTA?? *&^$# wth. *&^$#% wasnt it already settled that at least got 3 of us confirmed?? now, just cos e chiobu didnt want to go, u cancelled it?!!?

She'll either drag replying or come up with a reason on the actual day of event de. tt's her, if u still dunno. so used to it le that nowadays, i've become the sort of person who will go for event im reali reali interested in, regardless got company anot. so perhaps i should thank her for training me to b such a strong person eh?? 2 yrs' of being taken advantage of in exchange for this training is not cheap at all....

fri (chinese song composition @ NJC) - by Mdm Woon
haiz. wanted to save 5c by not replyin to my ex-teacher i/c of CLDDS, partly also wanna avoid her cos she was pestering me to perform, when i have absolutely nothing to present! end up, wasted sooo much of my time (travelling & changing tuition timing) & travelling fare, to reach NJ & found out that e event was cancelled. HAIZ. 因小失大 big time.

AND ESPECIALLY FOR THE ACTIVITY THAT I LIKE (K), specially take note of their outing le, still cancel it last minute. so bo xim to meet me, mite as well not ask me rite in e 1st place. just try bookin her can le lor. see when will u succeed.. wth. HUH. dun expect me to take special note of ur outing next time.

"K-ge-ing"

2008-05-01T23:25:00.002+08:00

was supposed to go K-ing today... but last minute got cancelled. his reason? cant find enough subs... but wad's "subs"?? i dunno.
kns.
so cheated again.
& if i didnt initiate to ask him e day before, is it that he is not going to tell me? maybe until the actual labour day itself?
wth lah. i have my own life, my own plans de okay! lucky i had asked earlier, before my wed's tuition. else arrangement for today's timing would be difficult.

oh well. the best thing that came out of this cancellation? i got to rest on this labour day holiday. Dun feel like going out anyway... so tired. had been travelling these days le (mon: exam then sakae, tue: b&J, ps, raffles city, wed: orchard, tuition).. time for me to rest & have some me-time :)

B&J Free Cone Day 2008 - 29/04/08! =D

2008-04-30T01:12:00.000+08:00

woohoo! managed to go for B&J FCD this year! =) last yr had lesson&tuition i rmb.. so couldnt make it.. wanted to make it an MSE event, but nonetheless, kena pangseh-ed by many. oh wells. glad that only 5 of us turned up anyway. it was a nice group! me, vanessa, linda, meiju & yew meng! =) all the nice people.. haha.. too bad my good group b friends still having exams. else i tink they will 赏脸 also de... :)

Initially i planned for 1030am. After complains by many (& they are all ppl who didnt turn up eventually -_- ), we decided to meet 11am instead. BUT vanessa woke up only at 1030am. oh my tian. & i thought i gonna b 10 min late. so end up linda only came out of her house at 11am (well. NEL boon keng -> douby ghaut only takes SIX min.... grr...) while ym decided to go shopping 1st. end up i wasnt late! haha.. & me & mj had to wait for the rest... :S lucky im in not bad a mood, didnt flare up like the previous time i waited for the same bunch of people. alone.

SO we went to take our free ice cream! there are ppl loitering ard alr.. but no1 seem to be Q-ing.. den we juz take initiative to stand in front of the shop lor! haha.. end up being the 1sts!!!! =) with meiju, me, linda, yew meng, vanessa in order of appearance at the mrt station :D so ym tot of Q-ing & re-Q-ing & re-re-Q-ing alr.. haha.. i tot we will only be taking one lor.. =pPp but yao-gui us [the mse lunch gang - me, ym, van] went for 3 rounds straight! (linda&meiju only took 2. & tt's it for them for e whole B&J FCD 2008!) after that we went for lunch at yoshinoya (ps) & back to cathay, cos linda&meiju catching the "feet unbound" (some movie abt e chinese history de.. haha). & yao-gui us [e 3 of us!] went for our 4th round!!!!! heee....

then we split our ways after shopping in e bookstore at the basement. linda&meiju went for their movie, while me&van went for job interview! saw my jiejie also~ haha.. they studyin hrm there.. condusive meh?!?? :S

anw after me&baa baa's job interview, i was wondering why i saw so many ppl with B&J cones at raffles shopping centre. i suspected an outlet at the basement, so we went to check it out. AND.. if u r smart enough, yeah! we went to Q A.G.A.I.N. hahaz.
(we got the job!! the person got back to us. called vanessa to inform us tt we got the vacancies! yeah! well, 3 wks of hols gone. but i hear kachings kachings!! *_* even thou it's pretty low pay... well, it's robinsons warehouse sale associates. wad u expect??.... better than nothing le lah.. & i still have 2 wks of freedom =) muz b optimistic!)

and yah, ben&jerry only hires chio-bus... all the hot babes scooping ice cream de lor.. hmm.. den i will never have a chance to work dere le. haha... not as if i want to. =p

wad a way to "celebrate"

2008-04-29T01:48:00.000+08:00

i tot it was a buffet. end up the organiser was "too full" for a buffet.
i tot it was a mse dinner. end up only "selected" ppl were notified/invited.

kns. feel so cheated.
tot it was meant for a big gang. apparently alot of ppl werent "invited". there were ppl whom we were all shou with (i tink ym will join us de lor) & there were ppl whom we agreed upon to meet up after exams (she claimed they had smth on alr...). i believed her initially. after tinking, it felt strange. she didnt reply me directly rgding me asking "eh ym nv reply u ah?" & we alr had a date with the gals... then it drawn upon me. it was pretty obvious the other table (of which everyone had buffet. 好赏脸哦~) were ppl who had helped her. & she also wasnt paying much attention to us throughout the whole dinner despite sitting with us... [she should just moved over la... actually she did suggest. but who on tt table will move over to join us, when their intention of coming was so that can mingle with her???] maybe i think too much. but it's this thinking that made me see alot of things clearer...
but i alr learnt how to overcome things about her le. so i ignored the stuff i wanna ignore (ie things tt upset me) & focus tt im enjoying my meal with
vanessa - yeah! my buffet buddy. yah. only 2 of us at our table ate buffet.
linda - even thou cant eat seafood (so bo hua to eat buffet) but still join us
meiju - impromptu invitation & she accepted!
=)

tot it was supposed to mean an interactive session also. but apparently the only person who knows everyone on the 2 different tables didnt know enough to take initiative to introduce each of us to all of us. so ended up "我认识的我就认识，我不认识的我还是不认识"

真后悔！早知道我自己联络。我真笨！还相信她！以后不会了！
made up my mind over something.
things will change from next sem on.
im so sick of being taken advantage of. 2 yrs of that last time was enough. another 2 yrs now has reached over my limits.

yippie yah yah

2008-04-29T00:08:00.004+08:00

yippie yah yah yippie yippie yah
yippie yah yah yippie yippie yah
yippie yah yah yippie yippie yah yah
yippie yah yah yippie yippie yah!

so long nv sing this song le!!!! :D
it's my "job completion song"~ haha.. everytime finish doing some task, will sing de!
so now it's e end of exams, MUST sing this song!! hahaz...

but actually dun tink will do well for this exam =( serious. during the sem, nv study. during the exam break, nv study. days between the papers, nv study... haiz... so only 1-2 days before paper then started really studying while others are revising. =(

EM105 - didnt memorise enough facts. but grateful for the last-minute revision with van & ym
MS2008 - didnt spot the correct topics to mug. crap through all explanations.
MS2010 - didnt memorise the correct explanations.
MS2002 - didnt pick the right question to do!!! argh!! i knew how to do Q3!! all! not tricky at all!! but i just didnt wanna sketch, so went for the tricky Q4 instead. SIGH. & chose extrusion while everyone else selected injection molding =(
MS2005 - stuck at the 1st question already. question 2 also not confident. & that's like half the paper gone.

wanna give myself an excuse. cos i seriously haven had a break for super long... after A levels, it was ops, rest & work.. then when school started.
mid of year 1 i spent my hols with HI for our annual performances. end of year 1 i spent my hols studying for special sem1 & working the rest of the vacation.
mid of year 2 i went back to work (cos they lacked of people) & went back to help (abit only) with my cca for the juniors' performance.

hmm.. like reali abit sick & tired le. no looong break for v long.. no time to recover, not able to sprint as fast as i could last time =/ haiz.... budden again, maybe it's juz an excuse. im plain lazy. yes, i admit i am. i used to survive on my 小聪明 but i tink now cannot le leh.. everything getting so tough. not e simple 1+1 anymore... takes time to learn & absorb, takes time to revise & 反刍 (is it the correct word? e process where cow "re-digest" e food with its 4 gastrics or smth de.... :S im so un-knowledgeable!)

Now end of year 2, i gonna take special sem 2... & i juz secured a job! 3wks only la.. cant resist e $$ temptation in e end.. still, im going to let myself enjoy... relax.. rest...

after this hols, i promise i will start turning into a mugger! hope i will have friends to help me =)

没有机会说出口

2008-04-21T23:34:00.016+08:00

五月天是这么样唱着
我練習過　彩排過　這個時候　卻又說不出口

而我却想这么样演绎着
我练习过彩排过这个时候没机会说出口

我当作你是没有诚意。因为我在每一个约会的前一天，都会send confirmation sms来提醒隔天要见面的朋友。我没有这么做，也许我以为你会比我还在乎。可是，一个午后的相谈，却因前一晚的hangover，得无限期地搁置了。

准备了很久的话，没能说出口，闷在心里头是在真的很难受。也许你已经放下了(i saw the jacket, made an assumption)，可我预习的这番话，不吐不快。
斟酌了一番，还是决定post出来：

我从来没交往过，所以还处在idealised world。对于我的第一个，一定会有自己拟定的模样。他不须要是个白马王子或潇洒威猛的壮男。说实在的，我常坦言，我喜欢“聪明，高的，胖的，丑的”。哈哈。（有朋友说，“那个被我看上的人应该很可悲”）外貌也许不重要，所以之前说的不重要。我最希望的事，他是一个我懂他，他懂我的人。
我认识你多久？你让我了解你多少？同样的，你认识我多深？你看透我多彻底？

To put it simply，你认识真正的我吗？我觉得这些日子，你跟她聊得更多。我的消息似乎都是从她那儿得来的。所以我觉得，你认为你懂我，但是你懂的那个“我”，只是她眼里的“我”。
I don't like that.

第一，在我的原则里(im a stubborn person with stubborn principles to stick to)，要认识一个人，应该是direct contact。没有可能通过另一个人而了解的。这样不直接的接触是不真诚的了解方式。我曾经说过，relationship (no matter what kind) is solely between the 2 people involved, just like a covalent bond between 2 electrons.
第二，what makes you think she is the best option? 说真的，我对她已经失去了信心，我不再信任她。即使我跟她性格上颇有相似，我非常不赞同她对朋友的处置。She categorised her friends into too many different classes, with too many different attitudes & diffrerent degrees of willingness/readiness to help. 而且很多时候，她有了想法的东西，她会一意孤行地照着她的主意做。In short, 我觉得你找错人来试着了解我。我已经不喜欢indirect contact，你还找一个我不认为完完全全，实实在在懂我的人，又是大错特错。

我喜欢pleasant surprises。你却有她而去，来转告我准备接受那份礼物。 Her stand being "I feel that you should be prepared, in case you'll be shocked that day." Yes, I know that you are being kind. BUT 我是个喜欢刺激，惊喜的人。Leo's characteristic? 这就是我和她持不同想法的一点。既然那是我肯定会喜欢的东西，我不介意是意外的惊喜。So she kinda spoil it all for me, and for you.

我喜欢直接的人。direct contact。 你是要我收下礼物还是你那番心意？Don't use "shy" as an excuse. What's so difficult with sending an sms to meet somewhere else privately? Outside LT after class, maybe? (Even he had the brain to think of that, & the courage to act it out. But too bad [or rather, "luckily"... haha.. since he kinda creep me out =X] his target is her. yup. of all people, the her. ) No. 你又在一次委托她帮忙，负责送来礼物。连亲手送礼的勇气都没有。In my opinion, lack of sincerity.

我想我是麻烦的。If you don't adhere to my "invisible" rules, you annoy me. 使我事先没有跟你讲清楚？Well, you really weren't obvious. Haha. Compare yourself with him to see what i mean.

黄妹说：“You can't expect to know a person really well to start a relationship. You should give chance. Going out is a way to get to know each other better.” 而我坚信，应该先做很好的朋友。加上，我不和不熟的朋友单独出门。
她也说：“Maybe you just don't like the fact that he got her help.” 对。黄妹了解我，知道我跟她实在的关系，友谊的深浅。你知道吗？

叔叔说：“Actually now, some guys are getting desperate.” & “he talk c*** lah, he.. He's interested in you or her? Standing up for her??”
叔叔也了解我，知道我跟她实在的关系，友谊的深浅。你知道吗？

Maybe I was classified as an "easy target". But when the target doesnt seem "easy" anymore, you've decided to move on.
Maybe I was a bet. When the bet seem to be losing, you'd rather give up and treat your friends the bet.
I should move on too.
Actually, i think i had. :)

In a way, I admire her. I admire how she managed to still maintain "good" relations with the 2 guys after rejecting them both. Maybe that's her way. Because she categorised too much, some people are worth keeping in contact, lest you need their help (herbal tea... 2008....)
也许这点我永远做不到。我只有两种对朋友的方式。
一，会谈心事的close friends, 二，ever-so-friendly的朋友。
我把你当朋友时，你都觉得太过亲切，我觉得我不敢把你当朋友了。
我连拒绝都没做到，就失去了一个朋友。。。
I really need special semester - ZG38 表面功夫... with her being the lecturer??

Free Screening of An Inconvenient Truth at Botanic Gardens

2008-04-05T17:03:00.005+08:00

http://www2.ntu.edu.sg/ENewsreader/Announcement/
Screening+at+Botanic+Gardens.htm?wbc_purpose=Basic

In support of Earth Day (22th April), the Singapore Botanic Gardens together HBO will be screening the documentary-movie "An Inconvenient Truth" in the gardens.

An Inconvenient Truth is a feature film about global warming, presented by former United States Vice President Al Gore. It focuses on his effort to educate the public about the severity of climate crisis and calls upon the viewers to learn how they can help to save the earth. It is important for us to know our planet better before it is too late.
Details of the screening are as follows :
Date : 20 April 2008, Sunday
Time : 11am - 1pm, 2pm - 4pm (two screenings)
Venue : Function Hall, Botany Centre, Singapore Botanic Gardens
Admission : Free (Seats are on first come first served basis)

Synopsis : A Sundance Film Festival hit, "An Inconvenient Truth" offers a passionate and inspirational look at one man's commitment to expose the myths and misconceptions that surround global warming and inspire actions to prevent it. That man is former Vice President Al Gore, who, in the wake of defeat in the 2000 election, re-set the course of his life to focus on an all-out effort to help save the planet from irrevocable change. In this eye-opening and poignant portrait of Gore and his "traveling global warming show," Gore is funny, engaging, open and downright on fire about getting the surprisingly stirring truth about what he calls our "planetary emergency" out to ordinary citizens before it's too late. With wit, smarts and hope, this documentary ultimately brings home Gore's persuasive argument that we can no longer afford to view global warming as a political issue – rather, it is the biggest moral challenge facing our global civilization.

aaaAAAA... that 's e movie Dr Tuti commented!!! rdging environmental stuff..
i wanna go!! =( but i still have 2 papers to go by that time...
haiz... should i?? interested party contact me!!

L's surprise revealed

2008-03-31T23:52:00.003+08:00

it was a long planning... Since we didnt celebrate Linda's birthday for her last year (well, her bday not exactly in a v gd timing.. with CAs & assignments due... =/) BUT being her 21st this yr, cannot anyhow anyhow le!! somemore she's considered one of my good friends in mse leh...

anw, so we came up with a plan to trick her a psuedo-celebration. The dimsum-kbox treat during recess. Haha... Made a simple card for her, lest she tink too much... But the real thing was already under planning... hekhekhek...

there were plan A and B, one being Angela's concert ticket ($150) and the other, SHE-endorsed Casio watch. Since we couldnt get someone we know to go with her & sponsors were unwilling to subsidise for her friend (she was so eager to go that she dint mind sponsoring 33% for michelle's tix!), the final decision was - SHE watch. I insisted on getting the one with signature encarved, then meaningful wad! Even though it's ella's.. haha.. Well, S's & H's dun reali suit her mah.. anw it's gd we got e signature one also lor.. the packaging nicer! got their faces & signatures!!! see example: haha.

Anw, it's a good celebration. Luckily got yew meng volunteering to draw the animals for the card! haha... im evil... If u noe Linda, u noe how "good" she is at recognising animals... so i had this evil plan of her naming all animals correctly before receiving her bday present! =D but congrats! after some ordeal, she managed to attach all the names correctly (i was kind enough to provide helping words!)

all in all, celebration was quite fun. =) linda, being ever so generous, treated us again! (last yr, treat our eff comm grp [me, van, ym] to ljs) this time, mac'flurry thou me & joyce special order - strawberry mango juice! =)

not trying to claim credits... despite me doing all the planning, coordination (getting people to sponsor/chip in), choreographing the celebration (coming up with idea of match-the-animals then making of the card)... Seriously, to do it for a worthy friend, I really don't mind. In fact, I enjoyed it.

Although I did felt damn irritated by many 小人throughout.
By some inconsiderate person (whose nickname sweet is so ironic) who called this gathering of many people to chip in a "donation drive".
By some fakey person (likes is somewhat like an ant) who had a busy schedule yet refused to arrange the timing of psuedo outing; heck-care behind her back yet being so actively involved in planning in front of her; lived so near yet refuse to go shopping; didnt do much yet claimed credits on bringing the "important" stuff; acting like the host/main organiser when sending the photos; agreed upon the payment amount yet grumble when digging the notes out.
蚂蚁和糖的搭配

Luckily some grumblings help. at least egg tart & ah meng did help alot too... :) without them i tink i will be so pissed & end up giving up half way already! seriously speaking, i think they werent even considered to be in the "in-group" with her lor.. yet, they seemed to be doing so much more than the supposedly-in-group member... They bother to go search high & low for the watch, doing internet research, personally going down to the shops to check, and eventually making the purchase together (even though they 2 did get on my nerves when we really bought it. one find it too exp [no sign one cheaper] - & i managed to get a discount! ; one find it too exp [the other shop cheaper] - they dun have that design at that price lor~) But still, really touched by the way they treat this whole planning... thanks for being so involved! =)

Anyways, HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY LINDA! =)

oops.

2008-03-17T22:49:00.002+08:00

but anw, here's HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY to yuxuan! =)
stay pretty!

《第一戒》观后感

2008-03-16T01:18:00.005+08:00

小时候，我曾经很害怕看鬼戏。看完之后，一定会害怕黑暗。但不知什么时候起，我似乎不再对鬼戏感到恐惧，反而会被惹笑。原本以为只有我是这么样的奇怪，但跟farrago的人去看了恐怖片之后，才发现原来 alice 和 yen teng 跟我一样！=D 都是怪胎？？ shuhui，eileen 和 yiying 则很容易被吓倒。可是，最后，yen teng 还是被吓到了！哈哈。。。

对我来说，《第一戒》并不恐怖。它的惊恐元素似乎普通了一些。原因是每每有鬼出现的时候，一定会有伴随的音乐。导演已经让你判断得到恐怖画面的降临，还能会被吓倒吗？也许只有我而已吧。我看戏，我会去想，去判断，去揣摩。和预想的吻合时，有自豪感却又会觉得编剧/导演不会隐藏精彩的剧情，惊恐的元素。但是，我还是被其中一段戏吓着了！：D yeah！因为那一段，来得太突然，有静悄悄，没有配乐。加上观众都被误导了，以为那“脏东西”已经附了另一个人的身，离开了教室。被吓着的那一刻：爽！

可我非常喜欢这部戏的原因，是因为剧情，电影背后的故事。
有点感伤，因为太信任所以被背叛； [警察1被警察2杀死]
因为太执著，所以忽略心爱的人； [2位警察都不理妻子]
因为太沉迷，所以只顾到自己那一方的爱，却不管对方的感受。[妻子死后，还得“服侍”老公]

95分钟的确短了点，原本以为不值回票价。但故事耐人寻味，赞！
又或者，我就是喜欢有故事，悲伤的鬼戏。
也许是这样，我看韩国恐怖片常常看到睡着。。。哈哈。。。
而十年前看过的《阴阳路》还记忆深刻 - 一群青年，一个无聊的挑战 [到一个坟岛朝死人的资料]，遇到鬼却得到一名已经被牺牲掉的朋友的帮助，脱离了坟岛。我永远忘不了最后一幕：死去的朋友无法和其他人坐上船上回岸，只能跟他们挥手道别。一条命被牺牲了，只因一时的好玩。一份友谊，却使其他人都能平平安安回家。

some photos! the box of my popcorn.. yea.. i ate it alone =P i like the quotes (aka rules)!!!

Rule #4: They are all around

Rule #3: Things are never what they seem

Rule #2: Never let them touch you

Rule #1: There are no ghosts

a loooong talk

2008-03-15T01:54:00.006+08:00

okay.. my fri in this sem is supposedly to be long.. 8.30 Am to 8.30 PM (actually lesson start proper at 1130am, but my friday morning is spent alternating between work @ sao and mini mse sports day.. )

anw so today is an especially long day.. well, after elect, me & baa went to toilet.. surprised to not see ym ard... we both tot he was still inside e toilet (a guy taking longer time in toilet than gals???) so aft a while, i decided to peek into the LT. that's where i found him still inside lah, talking to nice Dr Tuti :) baa's friend (juz got to noe him cos initially she wanted a place, & he wanted to drop. end up she got her place, he didnt drop his place =p) also there...

end up we dunno talk abt what (a whole long chain of stuff) UNTIL 10pm. my goodness lah! 1.5hr u noe?!?! so i ended up reaching home near midnight today... wah...

take home msg: my argument is that regardless of how technology is advancing right now, i feel that eventually we will all go back to basic, meaning using the most primitive source of energy for our daily life. I tink cos all the advancement will use up lots more energy & the amount should be increasing exponentially.. at this rate of increase, i tink the supply will eventually totally dry up lor~ so unless we can come up with super efficiency way to produce energy, we probably have no choice but to go back to "starting fire by rubbing rocks / from sun" le.. haha...

Random photos!

2008-03-12T23:15:00.013+08:00

Mommy bought these sweet strawberries.. anw whenever i have banana/strawberries/honeydew and milk at home, i will whip out my blender & make them into milkshake instead! =)

Change in Change of Plan

2008-03-11T19:38:00.005+08:00

07/03/08

Initial plan: Morning - Study, Afternoon - Attend Li Fei Hui's Music School Talk, Night - Rest

Due to unforseen overestimation of my limits, I couldnt finish the syllabus for EM105 quiz that morning, so decided to 忍痛 & forbidded myself to go for the talk... Anyway, most prob gonna be the usual thing also.. AND i dun like LFH anw... plus, he'll most prob be promoting abt his school & then end up with showcasing his students via performances.. SO i decided to be guai & revised for the quiz in MSE comp lab...

3PM!!! our usual 'free' lunch ;) yay!!

Initial plan: Take the food, eat until full full, then go back to studying

Yet, temptations win over when i see the set of Othello (or rather i used to know it as Reversi) on the table~~~~ (*_*) i knew i had to have a game or two.. haha.. end up playing one round against baa baa.. outcome: 58 blacks vs 6 whites... who's which?? u guess lor... but the scientist, at one point of time, said this: “不要在折磨她了！” hahahaha...
after that, we were again tempted by the deck of UNO cards!! haha.. played several rounds, outcome: KEEP LOSING ><>

08/03/08 Women's Day! =D
Never receive any rose leh.. wahaha.. maybe cos nv go orchard??
Initial plan: Go home after CC

Being yao-gui me, was super super tempted to 'gian' the blueberries' swensens $80 vouchers.. haha.. my group went the other time ($60) but i couldnt make it ='( so really wanna try swensens 'expensive' (though i tink not worth it) ice-cream... so nice berries allowed me to be the only extra topping to tag along with ice-cream trip =) wahaha..
well, e meal wasnt exactly v good in e sense i didnt had a meal (my main course was already waiting for me at home! :D like i say... planned to go home straight after CC de = go home for dinner de...) AND my only order (while waiting for e rest to finish their dinner then go for desserts) was this cookie monster ice-blended coffee. i asked 3 different waitors/waitresses AND they all didnt get back to me! @#$^$!@!*&^% i was so pissed that when Edmund called the manager to check for the 4th time, i directly told him that im cancelling my order, regardless it's ready anot. HECK ah. wth. if any of the 3 waitors/waitresses had bothered to respond back upon checking, i wouldnt have mind so much. but their service SUCKS. so i decided not to be so kind anymore like last time in Crystal Jade (again, with Edmund at the same table, my chicken soup la mian took forever to come. When everyone had their food already with some finishing, i called the gal 2nd or 3rd time, saying if not ready i wanna cancel. she got back to me, saying it's in e making.. so another round of wait until the la mian finally arrived. *wth. kena cheated* should have bluntly cancelled) anyhows, this time round, after i cancelled the order of my coffee, the manager came back with the coffee! :O i was quite stunned la! i dun wanna pay for it! cos i alr cancelled it le! but surprisingly, he put down the drink and said "on the house!" :D said they would throw it away also... =/ so it was ready a long time ago?? shrug. anyhows, =) that i kopped a free drink lor.. hehe... & for desserts, we had apple crumble, banana crumble & i dun reali know what Edmund & Aloysius & Isaac ordered.. but one was all chocolately with brownie while the other one was mango fruity - refreshing after all chocs! :D but really ah, the svc... even when serving our crumbles, both e apple & banana were dropped on the floor la! -_-"" no standard.. sigh....
to wrap up the "dinner" (where i only had desserts), ended up not paying anything at all cos of the 'on the house' drink & 'voucher-paid' banana crumble =)
after that went to daiso where i was tempted to buy the mud mask & mint candy.. but restrains myself from doing so.. hmm?? y ah?
& reached home for my dinner around 10pm =X

09/03/08
Initial plan: Complete my online E8 experiment
Haiz... working on a project with committed members = having to go to school on a SUNDAY!~ oh my tian la... but actually it's not e "gg sch on sun" that i dread, but it was that i alr had my own plan, yet this kind is not valid enough a reason to postpone a meeting where everyone else was okay with.... so i spent my sun 10am to 9pm in school... super paiseh lah! was supposed to meet linda for her free ride at 820am so that we can reach school at 9am. BUT i OVERSLEPT. oh my tian!!! :O i snoozed my alarm which never revived =( super shocked when i shocked myself to awoken... [被吓醒] it will happened to me when subconsciously i knew i had done smth wrong... =S Linda smsed me 3 times & also called my house, but apparently she didnt dare to ring too long, so obviously it wasnt enough to wake me up :S :S :S HAIZ. what's wrong with me? simple thing also cannot do properly....
then at night, another round of shock. I sorta forgot it was a SUN NIGHT where all the foreign workers will take the busses i can take home from linda's house... budden again, i tot they will all drop off at Little India alr?? wad's wrong tt day?? my 65 was super packed, so was e 66.. so i decided to take 64 to transfer, thinkin it wont be so crowded. OH MY TIAN. suay-ness was stuck on me... 64 was surprisingly more crowded than usual. Still that kind that can get up one, but only the area near the driver.. Actually... the aisle was quite empty la, but i refused to move/squeeze in, erm, cos of e smell??? =p *heh* so e group of chinese who got up tgt with me stayed near the driver there.. haha.. BUT there was this weird ah-pek.. he like keep looking in my direction. Well, i was standing in front of the "wall" (where the card feeder used to be), so he cant possibly be looking out of the window for scenery rite? cos it's all blocked. so i get kinda uncomfortable. then i used my 独“毒”门武器 - eye power! 瞪! whenever he turned to my direction, i will enlarge my eyeball & give a very stern look. HAHA! but i dun look directly at him, lest he really not looking at me. So my stare was only directed to him if he was looking at me. HAH! 老娘可不是好惹的 not after that disgusting 2 yrs which made me grow... alot... im not that easily bullied anymore! hah!

06/03/08 - 11/03/08
Initial plan: not to sleep & pia through the night to catch up with my work
wed (06/03/08): specially went down to bugis after tuition to get myself a venti starsbuck so as to motivate myself to 熬夜. halfway thru e cup, i fell aslp =/
the following days: halfway through, i will give myself a break... a nap is all i told myself to have, but it always ended up being slping from 2am - 5am in awkard position, then scurriedly scramble back to bed to pretend i was slping properly throughout the night, lest i wanna scoldings from my mom.. HAIZ. so yah, which explained my oversleep on sun & all the dozing-offs i've been doing for mon lects... joyce said i was making noise when i napped in ms2005! :O my 1st leh.. usually after my nap during ms2010, i will be awake for e nice lecturer's lect.. budden maybe partly because i feel that he's lost his passion to teach?? he doesnt seem as good nowadays as compared to pre-recess/pre-CA... :S

oh man. i need serious help/motivation to STOP changing my plan!!

to 另一个人: 《三个人》

2008-02-12T21:54:00.000+08:00

一个主动出手，另一个乐意收手，再一个坚持不伸手对的礼物 + 错的程式 = 没有诚意你想要我接受礼物还是你送礼物？

这是一个关于一个人，另一个人和再一个人的故事。
一个人那时并不喜欢再一个人干涉她的事。但是现在，却一直帮忙另一个人。
但那另一个人又可否曾考虑拒绝那一番好意？
一个人告诉了另一个人再一个人的事情。
另一个人可否曾考虑倒再一个人可能不喜欢他这么一样的了解方式？
另一个人可否曾考虑到再一个人会觉得不自在，没安全感？
一个人教另一个人如何送礼物。
另一个人可否曾考虑再一个人其实会比较喜欢收到意外的惊喜？
另一个人可否曾考虑到再一个人不希望知道情形将会是怎样？

另一个人可能以为那一个人非常了解再一个人。
但是可惜的是，他错了。
在再一个人的心里，那一个人其实并不了解她，更不值得她的信赖。
曾经发生在那一个人和再一个人之间的事情，也许另一个人不懂吧。。。

认识一个人，应该只有想认识人的人和想被认识的人。Just like a covalent bond, it is between 2 electrons. There is no space for a 3rd electron to occupy.
为什么现在会出现了多一个？

HIGH HIGH HIGH!!!! 不枉费我在那一个星期四的早上特地去学校。不但是提早去哦，而是特地去的！因为如果不是发票日我根本不打算去学校的。。但也有其他收获啦，我也做了两个surveys，赚了＄6，去了gym, 还有david的surprise celebration...

oops.. off track le.. but all i wanted to say is i spent like 3hrs Q-ing for e tix!!! so happy happy lah!! wilber leh!!! once my fav idol.. haha, althou i dun reali see one "love" one but still, teenage gal faze mah.. will switch a few idol here & there one... but he still remain the top few lah.. so vv disappointed when couldnt go his ntu concert last yr...

yeah!! so met up with vanessa & her sis aft ss... but lots HI also gg! like alice, zhiqi, qiu ru, huiying, i even saw shunyu with a gal!!! wahahaha...

but e concert so short lor.. last time gary one was super long leh.. but e zhang zheng yue & this wilber one quite short.. he only sang 5 songs *ENCORE INCLUDED* lao ya ritez... but nonetheless there's exciting part!! *later...

for now, it's time to show the illegal photos i've taken =P *they were super super strict on e photo-taking & video-taking thingy this time round lor.. KEEP forbiding ppl to take photo.. DJs (ohoh! it's mary & newcomer Ivy) keep on reminding, then e CAC PAO ppl also keep stopping ppl... but lucky me~ & thus lucky u for now u get to see..... *with poor quality*

After the concert, for e "bao bao hui"

*tried zooming!*

the concert actually started with the DJs asking ppl to SING a PART from songs of his latest album, before Wilber came out.. but the prize was just a poster =P & i dun reali noe much abt this latest album, so i dun dare to do anything... & i thought there'll be more games WITH wilver later.. & maybe the prize will be better?? like e ALBUM!!~ *_* & so i waited.. & waited...

AND THEN CAME the BEST PART
I GOT ON STAGE TO PLAY GAME WITH WILBER!!!!!! WOOOOO HOOOOOOO~

he was like choosing ppl to play games, when he was looking at our side, i was abit standing standing like that, waving waving, then he pointed sort of my direction & said "那个戴眼镜的" i went pointing to myself, then he replied "对" i was ELATED la!!! so so so happy u noe!!! (*_*) wilber hand-picked me de!!! yeah!!!

so wad we had to do was cherade (how to spell???)... after shaking hands with wilber *he keep smiling de lor!! =) * then we lined up le & the order was ME (start) -> gal 1 -> gal 2 -> boy 1 -> Wilber (guessing)
1st qn i stunned alr.. 《玩酷》?? how to act??!! :O so i went to point at the background... hiak hiak hiak~~ if u looked at the 2nd photo on top, got e title of e concert (ie album title) displayed.. but nvm. Wilber got it correct!! yay~
2nd qn 《说你爱我》 i went to SIGN it out! oh my tian~ but i did it in a subtle way.. so become abit confusing.. so in e end, e guy did it until juz e shake hand part.. weibo thought wad new year, "gong xi gong xi" shake hand lor!! =_="
then i requested to mary to do again, & i think they were thinking of e same thing also.. SO they made ME pass msg to WEIBO himself!! ohmytian!!!!! *_* so i A-A-ly shook his hand, v ji dong plea him to "say" "i" "love" "you" in *diaoz* sign language again... wahaha.. BUT at least he got it! clever weibo! ;) & i got to be reali reali up-close to him! ohmyohmytian lah!!! he's so SHUAI in person lor!! exactly e shuai qi as seen in e poster leh... & his smile so charming!!!
3rd qn 《路太弯》 easy la.. used e sign lang "way" -> one word, gao dim liao.. heh heh...
THEN wilber abit high le, tink only 3 qns too short, so he added one more qn himself.. so he came running BESIDE me!! ohmytian again!! weibo gonna act to me 1st!! woohoo!!! then he went into push-up position & start crawling! haha.. easy la! 《壁虎漫步》! but to do e action, so ugly lor =/ weibo... 3 gals on stage lei.. make us do this kinda stunt... hai.. but nonetheless, we still passed e msg on successfully la! so we got 4 out of 4 qns ALL correct!

so for my prize....
abit sad not e album la.. hehe.. cos me not planning to buy but still wan his songs ma.. 《路太弯》 is nice!!! but ok la, single better than poster better than nothing rite! =P juz tt i was hoping he would give single WITH poster as well.. & well, tried to catch the posters he threw during the end of the concert.. he's v nice! throw alot of places, even far far, behind behind one.. BUT got one reaches nearest us, but direction abit off, so e ppl on our right juz one row behind got it.. *grrrr*... i not reali greedy la, i wanted to take & give vanessa de.. cos i got single with signature le mah, so tot can help her get a signed poster... but....
nvm van! we still have THAT poster ;-)
*& they were all taken down by me =(

1st time the lecturer had the exact paper format & vv similar questions.

1st time i tried to organise mass outing (after several failed attempts with J1L & jie-meis);
1st time people told me that they are not eating & we ended up in the same fast food restaurant.

1st time i went to a 'supposedly sad' event -- the Moving-On/closure of Library@Orchard;
1st time i had pictures taken under the request of Straits Times reporter & interview by Lian He Zao Bao reporter.

1st time i went from SAD (after not being able to end my last paper of the exams happily cos alot dunno how to do... i wanted to end it with a BANG but i ended it with an EXPLOSION... sigh..) to CONTENTED (really appreciated those who give face to go for the lunch! linda, joyce, shi en, zi feng, kang hua, jackson, lim han.. then got odd one out uncle from GROUP B.. hee.. even wai tuck came to sit with us juz to talk talk... *funny how e B ppl still end up in sch when they ended their exam e day earlier... & BOOs to the two who said will come but one ended up saying not coming last minute, one juz went MIA & since i only noe him by name..) to CHEATED (it's ok to reject my invitation. i'd rather face honest 'no thanks' than lies anytime. serious.) to HAPPY (had such a fun time @ occl with vanessa! after the dinner buffet still went for half-priced cartel cakes... really stuffed ourselves til we had to scissor-paper-stone to see who finish which cake! the winner gets the SMALLER one... hahaha...)

1st time

2007-11-29T18:21:00.000+08:00

omg! it's my FIRST time buying bus concession!! can u believe it?? after studying primary school, secondary school, jc & 2 years of uni, i have NEVER bought concession in my whole life so far fourteen years of studies!!! =O haha..

also cos it has nv been worth it to buy la..
In primary school, i walked.
In secondary school, i had my friend's dad to fetch us in e morning, & after school it was a one-bus trip back home (ie 45cents.. i missed those 45c trips!!!)
In JC, i had my nice nice daddy (=P) to fetch me in e morning, & after school it was a one-bus trip (45c/trip still!!)
In NTU, i still only take one way trip.. & after careful calculation & detailed note-taking, it is STILL not worth to buy! haiz.. cos needa buy both bus & mrt one... grr.. concession = $97/mth while im spending ard $90... still cheaper not to buy la.. cos of e "one way trip" from daddy.. anw e next sem gg change le... cos e timing all super late. SUX LA. but meaning i can buy concession le~ wahaha... then like wad uncle say, "dun have to be so xin ku with carefully selecting the journey plan le" =)

so this time round i bought concession cos im gonna be helping in the Christmas Song Signing!! last yr we performed, this yr gg back as senior attached =) never join e senior performing grp thou.. dun wan e commitment le.. & i did take part in Project ID SS in june le wad... anw our batch is so enthu tt they gonna have 2 senior grps =_= tt's like half of e juniors alr....
but SADz. this time round cos SADEAF under renovation, so gotta have ss practs in sch. GRRRrrr.... so i plan to take 154 & sit until my butt grow flower bah... else transport v ex if i gotta take both mrt & bus... nvm la.. hols = plenty of time to spend =P

woohoo~ concession starting tmr! so exciting!!!

Aren't we getting smarter???

2007-11-07T23:00:00.000+08:00

In primary school,
getting >80 marks was normal;
getting >90 marks was good.

In secondary school,
getting >70 marks was normal;
getting >80 marks was good;
getting >90 marks was genius.

In JC,
getting >60 marks was normal;
getting >70 marks was good;
getting >80 marks was genius;
getting >90 marks was genius of the genius.

In University,
no one knows really... from what i see, it all depends on the lecturer... =/

一颗烂苹果会
认识了你一年，却连基本的信任都不给你
在一年之后，为了更深的关系的人而抛下你
以为你会介意其实你并不在意的事，刻意隐瞒你还坚持没说谎
自己有好处后，细心分析哪些她会想分享
连最普通的资料，都故作神秘，吞吞吐吐
一次又一次的伤害你，对你一点好处都没有

新鲜橙会
给你一天所需要的维他命，让你能够在险恶的世界里继续奋斗
带来涩中带甘的快乐，让你明白还没腐烂的水果对你有益
无私地奉献，让你健健康康却不要求任何回报

咬到一颗烂苹果或许会让你发觉身边的甜美鲜橙。
更欣慰的是，竟然还会有柑橘自动跑来！=D

不同的背景，不同的经历，成就了不同的性格，不同的待人处事的方法和想法?
还是不一定？
重点来自个人的信念。。。

i suddenly feel really scared... got back quiz results.. not good at all. both are on the average line, the other two dunno results de... haiz... not doing well at all... need to change my attitude soon!!!

but how? when i don't seem to get supports that i want.. this sem i feel so alone. not in terms of friendship. i suppose we are still friends. but i feel the competition between us in the academic field is getting more tense... everyone is studying! & studying alone... even when im found to be lost, or missed anything, i doubt i received any direct help/update from them. sigh.

guess i have to rely on myself le. or else... =X
maybe i kinda made the wrong decision??
NO! fishystar shall fight til the end!!!
& im sure to find help from others, others i dont even consider close friends, & yet so much more willing to care & share.....

anw was supposed to do it with waituck, vanessa & joyce.. but joyce's injury not yet 101% recovered yet.. so while i tink she had been actively going out, she just not ready to run yet.. hee...

hmm, at 1st was quite scared... 4 km!! (or 4 'clicks' according to wt) haha.. nv run so far b4 mah.. so even thou the run starts at 4, i was wondering if we can make it for the closure @ 6pm =p but ended up starting later than 4 (4.15pm i tink) & we took less than an hour!! woo hoo~~ considering there wasnt even enough space to RUN actually... it ought to be renamed milk CRAWL bah.. man!! so crowded we got stuck right at the starting point! for i tink 15min?? wahliaoz.. damn slow moving... so me & baa were chatting lor.. hehe...

in e midst of e run, we tried to overtake some ppl & ran abit lah.. still qt satisfied with myself =)

at the finishing place (ie e starting place too!!) we had FREE mineral water, 100+ & BANANAS!!! yeah!!! i LOVE bananas =) *maybe tt's y im so hairy... wahaha... dad's related to e animal thru zodiac while me thru looks & behaviours...* there were free packed lunches too.. for e volunteers... but dere was extra.. wanted to take at 1st.. but e person nv ask me =( *sad* i dun look yao gui ah???

oh! & e most IRRITATING thing was the bag collection. wah liao!! q soooo long ah.. then they started "lucky-drawing" some bags to e stage so tt e owners dun nid to Q.. quite smart lah... splitting up more collecting stations is good. BUT why oh why, he was announcing like e fourth group of "lucky drawn" bags & we were like e next "customers" to be served at the Q, i was 随口说了：“最好不要是我们的啊，不然我真的想杀了他” isit im too saint le, so wanna make me commit crime?!?! MY BAG was e 1st to be called lah.. den i was like "im so suay!!!" while walking BACK to e stage (e stage is somewhere near the end of e Q) when i heard wt & baa's bags' no... hahahaha.... paiseh lah.. din noe i will bring suay to u all too... so irritating!!! the more u dun wan to happen, the more it will!!!

Yucky Limbs

2007-06-19T19:15:00.000+08:00

Haha.. tt's how i call "kinship" the so called "drama of the year"..
cos 手足 = 四肢 = limbs, doesnt it? ;-)

oh my oh my. 1st 15min of the drama i alr buay tahan le!! the opening is so drama lor (ok, just cos it is drama doesnt mean it have to be DRAMA rite? irony is drama is meant to be realistic?).. obviously the opening was meant for the viewers to know all the main characters in the show... but is there a need to let the alvin ng appear?? the "molest" scene was totally useless, non-sensical -_-" so fei lah!!

& the family breakfast scene.. so fake also!! if u eat breakfast with ur family everyday, do u behave like that?? & naifa's (darren lin) attitude towards the dad.. if tt's how he treat his father-in-law for a long long time le, will they still bother with him?

& oh, the shop scene... the way yingjun (alvin ng) shunned her moves... & the staff's acting suck! i think mediacorps is just trying to showcase the newbies.. (dun reali noe their names thou)
& there are sooOOOooo MANY GALS throwing themselves at the "hunk"???
HELLO, in real life, gals will do that meh???
oh oh, & i really cant stand alvin ng's acting!! sux!! haha.. & i dun even find him shuai =/
as what josephine says, "he speaks like he's holding a potato in his mouth" =D

last but not least, the "auntie yang" trying to promote the less usage of plastic bags (this i can accept) & there was this ad for "25years of drama" -_-"

haiz... guess i shan't have much hopes for this drama either... maybe one good drama a year from mediacorp is already vv good liaoz. & this year there was already xin fu shuang ren chuang. so i guessed tt's it for this yr's drama production?? haha

capability

2007-06-18T11:57:00.000+08:00

almost all the personality tests that i have done, they always say i am going to be a successful leader & lots craps along that line... i used to naïvely believe all these... until just.

a thought suddenly struck my mind. do they come to conclude the "success", the "leadership" in all the results? after all, i've only seen my own results...

im losing confidence.
i used to thought i CAN lead, i CAN be successful.
but look at me now??
i have had friends achieving huge accomplishments, but where's mine? maybe all these times i have been lying to myself.

back in cedar times, just before we graduated, one of my classmates wrote on the class photo, "wah! you are so smart! will sure see your name on the newspaper!"
sadly, her prediction has not been achieved.
or rather, I have not achieve much to make her prediction true.
am i smart? like reali smart? haha, nah... even back then, i wasnt reali smart wad... only 11th in level whilst being 1st in class?? tt's a disgrace, if u asked me. i mean, given the fact that there were 10 classes, should all the 1sts-in-class being among the top (ie top 10)?

i dunno if i should be satisfied with myself now (im not doing too bad) or i should really try to step out of my timid world & really try something bold.
i thought i made the big step by joining council.
but i ended up being just a member with no major responsibility throughout the whole term.
i thought i made the big step by deciding to join YES933 DJ Search & "Let's Shoot" audtitioning for new speakers
but i ended up not submitting the form for DJ Search & not even going for the audition for "Let's Shoot" (有话就说)
i thought i would be taking big steps
but right now, i could only see my small footprints.

Budget dinner. Valuable gathering =)

2007-06-15T23:38:00.000+08:00

just met up with peiching, merle & yiting. sorry for being 0.5hr late! heh... but yiting reached @ 9pm while we were supposed to meet @ 630pm?? haha...
qy couldnt make it.. *as usual, i would say*
i always have this belief that if you really wanna meet someone & you are the busier one, you will fork out whatever free time *however minimal* & ask the person out.. so if u dun do that, i supposed you dun reali care much about catching up huh?

anw we had a budget dinner, some english fish & chips cafe opposite central *the latest shopping centre @ clarke quay*.. NOT central mall kkz.. haha, yiting took cab =O down cos she was late. & she told the taxi driver central mall, so it took her the wrong place =X the place looks kinda cheapo actually.. haha! but the cheapest fish&chips is $6.50! so not bad lah...
fish&chips!! *_* haha... a new inside joke amongst my clique in uni =pPp

well, the clique hardly meet up in sch term. so i realli treasure the catching up. was relunctant to meet at first, cos i've just spent too too much previous week. but thinking that i reali wanna meet up, i just went all the same.

haiz.. but y do u always have to shoot ppl with ur words?
i reali dun find a need to get a line, cos there isnt any serious need to sms/call wad... what's really wrong with using my dad's no all the time?? = ' (

OH! & i only found out that the RSP-HI main comm (my cca lah) were meeting at clarke quay also!! aiyah.. should have tried to meet them also.. haha.. maybe not bah.. they doing proper stuff.. not like me, small fry, small/no responsibility =X can play a fool... sigh...

感情是什么？

2007-06-12T22:46:00.000+08:00

i heard 林宇中 interview on 933 few days ago.. something he said something about his 择偶条件：她一定要独立，能够有自己的生活圈子，自己的朋友，因为我不能够常常在他的身边陪她。

如果不能常常在一起，如果还要各自生活，那要交往做什么呢？虽然我赞成别24/7地粘在一块儿，但是一段感情是要时常维持的，不是吗？

常常喜欢问朋友：“呃，有男朋友了吗？” ；-)
而我也会选择相信他们的答案。

因为我觉得
如果有了却隐瞒，那是幼稚。
如果没有却说有，那是幻想。

感情是什么？那么，包含在感情定义里的友情又算什么？
也许是我的对外的个性，会让人误会我。
我喜欢散播谣言但不会传达是非 i spread rumours but not gossips.
是，我是喜欢乱乱配对别人 =P 但真正该保密的，我是不会说出去的。
我甚至能够察觉有些是你不想说，我就不去问。
朋友M信任我，尽管我们当时只认识3-4个月？
朋友V也不会畏我，虽让我认为我为她保密的是其实也微不足道。
朋友L却喜欢钓人胃口，我虽然不很了解她，但依我的个性加上我对她的看法，我没多问，她却自己送上门，但是，她给的资料，等于没给过嘛！=-="
但是，可惜的是，朋友J，在过了10个月，仍对一些事紧闭着嘴。
嗨。。。我可悲的不是我无法得到消息，而是原来我在你心目中的形象。
还有，更surprising 的是，仅仅真正才认识不到一个月的他，竟会向我透露心事。起初不知道如何帮他，后来才明白，原来他只是向找个倾诉的对象。
有些时候，朋友让你知道他的问题，并不是要你替他想办法，所以自己还是不要想太多。
sometimes people just already have the decision in their mind. they just want someone else to say it. as if to confirm it's e best choice available.

i have given my uni frens my blog address, but they doesnt seem interested about it. so nvm. i realised, there are things, i dun wish for them to know...

sometimes it's all about trust.
sometimes it's all about confidence.
sometimes it's all about how you present yourself to others??

原点

2007-06-08T23:44:00.000+08:00

Q1. can anyone name me any one episode where there is absolutely no crying scene? none at all?
cos although i dun reali follow the show, everytime i watched, there will be 哭哭啼啼!! esp tt girl, dunno what her name is. dunno how to act, only know how to open her eyes big big, think that will attract the males watching the show bah... =S

Q2. Can anyone name me anyone who can seriously act?
to me, felicia chin is ok only. not reali a v gd actress. yet. but apparently mediacorps is having high hopes on her, placing high bets on her?? but anw, in my opinion, i think only zhang wei (the CEO of Hua Kang i think) can act, reali well. haha..

so in summary,
who are the singaporeans? felicia chin & zhang wei are the only ones i recognised.
who are the good actors/actresses? i only feel that zhang wei fit the answer.
so in conclusion: in the whole show, there's only one good singaporean actor.

so i think i shall just stick to 原点 (the song sung by Stef Sun & Tanya) bah.. haha!

hmm, talk a little abt results bah... linked to 原点 also.. haha! the theme of this entry! =D
didnt noe results out 8th June means 12AM MIDNIGHT. my goodness! farhan msn the very first minute past midnight. he damn fast lah.. alr checked.. asked me to asap also.. but i was reali scared. reali reali scared.
my FE1008 Computing! the paper which after the exams everyone around me says do-able & i couldnt do it & when i compared ans, it was all different! so after my analysis, i reali think i would ta pao. sad 过以后, i even set out a plan to achieve an A so that my overall grade wun be that bad.
so i was reali reluctant to open the window. haha... but after some pyscho-ing by many frens, i did lah.
YEAH!!!! I GOT B+ FOR FE1008!!! NO NEED TA PAO LE!!!!! YAY!!!!!
my gosh!!! B+ u noe!!! wah liaoz... i was telling myself if i get a B- & i would be jumping for joy, & i got B+!!! & tt's e best grade i heard so far (aside uncle's A & fizh's "cfm" A/A+ bah) omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg. i reali cant believe.
but e rest of the modules are rather disappointing le. my maths & phy especially. but i wasnt feeling well for phy papers, so i tink tt grade, thou not truly reflective of my ability, was e best i could offer that day with my condition. but maths! A+ -> B+! =( damn saddening lah!! yea, yea, i noe i noe. B+ is a decent grade. but pls consider my position. the drop in the grade is juz too much for me to handle.. haiz... feel like appealing... but mei says it wun change e grade??
but all in all, grades-wise, not satisfying. but my gpa maintained! 回到原点。。 in fact, improved by 0.05! haha... perhaps cos i su-ed mgmt & spanish? (both s la =] )
haiz... happiness mixed with sadness doesnt balance out...

bus home - 65 (from harbourfront to tampines direction)

2007-06-07T23:08:00.001+08:00

wah liaoz.. wad's with 65 (from harbourfront to tampines) route ah?? TWICE this week (mon where i board at orchard) & (juz now where i board at harbourfront), i had to have weird ppl sitting next to me! *pui*

mon
this super duper fat lady in pink shirt & green shorts boarded the bus, carrying a macdonald's cup in her hand. she looked kinda weird, u noe, tt kind abit short circuit. damn suay. she chose to sit next to me. ='S BUT luckily within a few stops, she spotted an empty bench & changed her seat! yay! no need sit with weirdo le...

thur
this disgusting ah-pek! wah liaoz..i was slping lah! den he juz "plop" down on e seat nxt to me AND STARTED TURNING BOTH AIRCONS TO HIMSELF. wth!!! i mean, normally if u r sharing bench with some1 else, u would only turned one, yea?? he turned BOTH. sucker!! haha.. sorry.. cos i tink he's damn rude. & i was already pissed with the malay boy boy in front of me. anyhow threw the empty box on e floor after he finished wad was inside. when i woke up to see what he was doing, he still stared at me lorz.. he looked abit siao oso, so i dun dare offend him =X & he had dis huge plastic bag, placed on e floor, but irritating my feet. & he used his dirty hand dig dunno where & wipe his face... ee... basically he looked v dirty also. i was so sad i wanted to cry lor! this time abit more suay. had to tahan more than juz a few stops b4 he found an empty bench. hooray!! no more torture.. else i tink i would reali change seat. if not go downstairs & stand! haha.. so i ended up e rest of the journey with e aircons turned back to myself & managed to get e boy's mother picked up the box. cos b4 tt, whenever i kicked e box back to e front where the boy is, he will kick it back! gu na jya la!~ so i decided i muz get e mommy clean up after her son. she was quite oblivious to his misbehaviour obviously. such mother!

normally, if it's norm ppl & i sit nxt to them, i wun change seat cos i feel tt if e seat's ok, den y bother.. but when i sit next to a weirdo, usually e case is tt i sit on e inner side first & i dun reali get a choice to change seat, else super obvious??, i will pray reali reali hard tt he/she wanna change place.

strange enough, usually this kinda weirdos wanna sit e bench all by themselves de. actually so do i lah. but this kinda ppl JUMP immediately to the empty bench the first moment it's emptied. mAn! fast sia~~ but good for me~ =p so i hate it when 'normal' ppl fight with them & i ended up with e same 'partner'.. yucks!

bus. sch. gym. POC. tiring.

2007-06-05T23:54:00.000+08:00

1.5hr of bus ride + 3 hr of lesson (actually we were let off an hr earlier =p) + 2.4 km of jogging + 1 hr of gym + 3 hr of boring movie = one tiring day!!

haha.. im a giam siap po (ie stingy lady) mah.. so take bus from home to boon lay (read: 5 stops from Eunos Interchange to Boon Lay Interchange). actually not tt hard to endure lah.. 习惯就好。plus i wanna earn more TDs & BDs! (sbstransit promo) after tt met baa & uncle for bcm @ nie! dere aft attended our last lesson for this special sem! had a guest-lecturer cos the lecturer has gone back HK alr -_-" ookkiiiee... but her lecture (thou NIS) was enjoyable!! singlish! =p
oh, haven update.. am taking Language Puzzle: The Study of Human Language =] but not as interesting as what i thought it would be. i think i was expecting more like comparision between the modern languages, but what we're doing is more of evolution of language - history! =S

after that, since i ended earlier, decided to jog 1st b4 waituck join me for gym. (he end astro @ 430pm). but he came, he also wanted to jog, so i go gym myself 1st.. so many guys training =X eee.. i dun like muscles-men...

rushed off to plaza sing after bathing. Wasnt supposed to watch POC with farrago (Xuefen, Cheryl, Yenteng, Eileen, Alice, David, Yew Meng, Shuhui) de.. but Shuhui got sick last minute & david alr booked tix.. so gotta find replacement. when i reached ps, the rest already finished their dinner @ thai express. left ps for cathay when e movie was abt to start in 5min. wah! super rushed la!! cheryl was so gan cheong, kept running.. while e 2 guys were still strolling -_-" e slowest were e guys!! haha... & when i complained tt "isit shuhui noe we had to go thru such ordeal to get to watch e movie so wanna find replacement" & "i was so tired", david popped out yet another astonishing statement: 我背你啦.. wahaha! he always say -_-" things de leh... anw i told him i dun wanna make him a pancake =p
well, didnt enjoy e movie. But had a great time with farrago!! =)

watch POC1 on channel 5 twice. but never watch POC2. so was reluctant to go at first. in fact, i didnt say yes to xf!.. but ah, shuhui couldnt find ppl to replace her tix leh.. & she said she would pay! =D *althou i paid in e end =S*

if u asked my opinion, i think POC3 is lousy. haha. no, i didnt fall asleep. alice did! =D
but i feel that the show had no artistic value. no storyline value. no nothing!

artistic value -wise, i couldnt make up the fighting scenes at all!! all so messy! wah liaoz.. doesnt mean pirates fight muz fight until we cannot see who's fighting who rite? & e water/river scene, e one supposed to be Singapore?? so fake lah! obvious it was built. cos i dun tink they did their research well nor put in efforts to think what would make e setting look real. In real circumstances, i supposed such a village will have a beautiful sky & scenery?? but all we could see in the movie was pitch-dark blackness. -_-" tt's more like e night sky in s'pore now. thou u muz stand reali reali high & look up, so tt u wun be disturbed by the towers' lightings =p
storyline - wise, i feel that it was all messy & mixed. but i dunno wad happened in POC2 la, so i dunno if my comment is accurate. But wad is sao feng (shldnt the hanyupinyin & hence pronunciation & "English name" be SIAO feng instead?? "sao" saos [read: sounds] sao [read: so] bad..) doing in the show?? his role like 可有可无 leh...

oh, the ending was quite wu liao also. althou only half e cinema remained (i think some juz dun haf enough frens to tell them to stay for the ending after the credits =p), i think we all felt cheated in staying back bah... i mean, it's reali kinda meaningless... unless they wanna emphasise on the "true love" value?? hmm, but still, tt scene was redundant in my opinion.
AND my goodness. ONE shot & they got it meh?? so easily have a son... haha... bluff kiddies only bah! =p

oh no...

2007-06-04T23:37:00.000+08:00

i dunno if im being pessi anot... i feel tension in my upper jaw & i thought one part of the gum is sunk in... & i did get blood when i was brushing the other day...
my fren's wound juz got some problem the other day, despite e operation being one year ago... but i tink *&hope* she's fine after a minor op to fix it...
im reali scared my case's the same as her.
worst, im reali scared that my jaw's gonna fall... =(

HI elections!

2007-06-02T23:35:00.000+08:00

i used to vie for leadership position. as in, i reali reali wanna be in the limelight.. but i think after being in student council in nj, im tired. my goodness. it was only a year's term!!! & im tired =O maybe 我老了？hahaz...
anw this time round, i didnt run for the election, or rather i wasnt nominated.. *sobz*sobz*.. jk lah.. i didnt give my best doing HI S'pore (our Farrago event, Signation - sign lang workshop)... didnt even take up roles like chair, vice or anything major... juz a small minor programme =p even in prog, i was a slacker more... haiz... too too tired le...

oops! off topic!

first the list of nominees bah...
Coordinator: Xue Fen (farrago), Zhi Cheng (clementi), Kelvin & Cheryl opted out
Farrago Centreheads: Shuhui, Yen Teng, Alice
Kallang Centreheads: Cheng Hui, Leonard, Shu Yun, Linda (was what i heard... but she didnt even go for the election? so maybe she opt out??)
Clementi Centreheads: Zhi Cheng (cos he didnt get e coord.. haha..), Kok Ping, Kek Yee
anw, kek ended up as the IT coord (dun reali noe the actual title).. think it's based on the highest votes out of those who didnt get elected bah.... the seniors nv say, but tt's wad i guess =p

but anw, had a HARD time trying to submit my vote for coord & ch (we can only vote for our own centreheads)... cos speech-wise, i think zc did reali well, hmm, yah, in my opinion, better than xf. But noe-ing xf & seeing her work as chairperson for Signation, i noe she can reali do work de. She also took initiative to compile a contact list & celebrate our bdays! =D vv 用心 lor...
as for chs, i tink ALL of them are good. seriously. any 2 out of the 3 will make a great pair as chs. so the HARD choice was to 'kick out' who... but luckily one specific Q&A helped me made the decision =)
but sigh... it's cos we all noe their characters, strengths & weaknesses from working for Signation le, so hardly any Qs to ask wad... so e mood was set such tt it was vv relaxed. poor david. 就为了一道比较不切题的问题，就被senior讲，不，我应该用谴责... i think what he was trying to do was to lighten the mood lorz.. & maybe it's reali through wu-liao qns we can make our decisions who to vote for??
anw, haha, end up the whole gang of farrago now abit buay song with tt senior le.. haha.. cos we all feel that david did nth wrong lor... 难得他越来越有“人气”(read: "being alive" element) & participate with us & e senior juz condemn his action.. wah liaoz...

all in all, i suppose the election ended well bah =) reali happy for those elected!! congrats...
juz a tinge of dissatisfaction.. no one gave out-of-the-box answes =X everyone gave the standard answer... except maybe my challenging 'woooo' qn for the coord...
maybe experiencing council has made me had different expectations when it comes to election bah... hee...

pre-election note: man. i think the nomination voting doesnt count as much as seniors' participation lor.. somehow i feel, 他们会进的meh?? =S 一个应该是有人气但似乎没本事，一个可能算有本事但恐怕没人气。。。

迷恋主题曲

2007-05-25T23:47:00.000+08:00

电视剧的主题曲一向是我对于连续剧十分关切的其中一环。有一股冲动，很想把我记得起的主题曲写下来。。

《凡间新仙人》

牛郎织女的爱情延续了千年
搭桥的喜鹊都等待生厌
滔滔银河何时有干涸的一天
这世界只羡鸳鸯不羡仙

八戒爱嫦娥难得轰轰又咧咧
千里姻缘冥冥中一线牵
天上和人间多少爱正在上演
喜欢一个人就该大胆一点

完美的爱情只在神话里出现
两个人因为不同爱才能保鲜
法力无边比不上包容和谅解
虽然有时候争吵总难免

完美的爱情要学会迁就一点
兜兜又转转爱的人可能就在身边
吴刚伐树千年为了和嫦娥天天见面
爱需要热情更要耐心的考验

《幸福双人床》

一张双人床两个人的剧场
快乐和感伤同一时间亮相
他不够浪漫她又太多幻想
当恨起对方所有的好全都遗忘

相爱的双方像海洋和沙滩
不能完全占有却更离不开对方
他渴望温柔她需要宽厚肩膀
虽然有时想的太理所当然

幸福并不只有单一的答案
争吵可能是其中必备的一项
爱如潮汐潮落中惊喜不断
关键在你怎么去欣赏

别让双人床中间隔着孤单
多想想换成对方有什么期盼
没有人天生就对爱情擅长
幸福双人床两个人才温暖

《原点》 -- 空秋千

荡秋千来回终究要停在原点
望太远眼前幸福却忽略
晃半圈圆不了爱恋
高一遍低一遍
风就吹散了永远

还想为你摇秋千
对著夕阳扮鬼脸
若月光再美一点
我们会否把手牵
还想被你碎碎念
当数流星的配乐
你却说你等不到天亮
空秋千陪整夜

秋千和我失眠
在你影子身边
这公园太想念
你无邪的笑脸

iM back~

2007-05-14T23:12:00.000+08:00

haha.. didnt visit my blog for a SUPER LONG time.. smth changed rite.. now cant even sign in with original account.. muz use google one...
hmm, now tt it's holidays.. i even updated some posts which i saved due to my laziness & didnt complete. =)

anw this sem was a hectic man! shioo~ gone le. but with so many things happening in btw!
beside taking up 22Aus, official start of teaching chinese to the HI adults @ SADeaf, organised farrago's event - HI Singapore (a sign language workshop), in btw there were quizzes & stuff... wOw. now exams' over. phew~ but is e relief over yet?? *hmm...

& thanks to 丁志勇(YES 933 DJ) 让我迷上苏打绿的《小情歌》!! alot of ppl tot e singer is a gal, wai tuck still imagine HER to be lady-like & surprised SHE isnt in e MV.. wahaha!! cant even differentiate a gal from guy!!
actually initially i oso tot it's a gal who sung it de lorz.. until ding zhi yong said it's a guy. mAn!! shocking lor!! but i believed ding zhi yong lah, not like wt, like dun believe me lydat..
anw dis song is reali reali nice nice!!

这是一首简单的小情歌
唱著人们心肠的曲折
我想我很快乐当有你的温热
脚边的空气转了

这是一首简单的小情歌
唱着我们心头的白鸽
我想我很适合当一个歌颂者
青春在风中飘著

你知道就算大雨让这座城市颠倒
我会给你怀抱
受不了看见你背影来到
写下我度秒如年难挨的离骚
就算整个世界被寂寞绑票
我也不会奔跑
逃不了最后谁也都苍老
写下我时间和琴声交错的城堡

*_* mesmerised *_* 我也想拥有我的小情歌！

1st week of sem 2 yr 1

2007-01-13T00:12:00.000+08:00

Okie... sch's supposed to have started for a wk by now.
By right, i had 8 lectures to attend this week.
By left, i had only attended 3. =P
my policy is "i won't spend more time travelling than studying".. so on days i have only one 1-hr lecture, i won't spend 1.5*2=3 hrs to & fro school.. haha!

Actually i was supposed to have attended 5 lectures based on my policy.. but tuesday was my add/drop period & it clashed with the 2 lectures that day.. sigh. having the need to swtich my german (i wouldnt mind if it didnt hinder with my tuition!!) to either the lyrics class or spanish (only the one specified slot). but so suay. shldnt have spent my 2hr staring @ the comp... attending comp lect mite have been more useful. cos i missed the lyrics class' vacancy twice. & my spanish class (the one i wanted more, more than lyrics class, at lst this sem) has no movement at all!!
so not only had i wasted my time travelling to sch tt day (i had hope to get it done asap so i could still attend sum lect..) i was LATE for tuition. then LATE for dad's fetching, so he was LATE to fetch mom from work. SAD. everything has gone not right that day... ='(

Wednesday was supposed to be a scary day. Went to see Dr Lee (the orthodontist.. aiyo.. y both my surgeon & orthodontist r Dr Lees??). She implanted this screw into my upper gum so that she could hang some more rubber bands to pull up my right upper teeth... e op was quite fast, but SCARY~~ i heard e drill lor.. =S & e nurse took e wrong x-ray!! she went to take my left side instead of right.. sigh.. wonder if it's okie.. cos e doc didnt realise until e implant has already gone in =(

oh oh~~ budden meilian sms me to tell me that jap classes got added vacancies.. so upon coming back, i straight away on e comp to go stars-planner... i was waiting & waiting.. den i saw!! =O
nope.. not vacancy for spanish.. but e LYRICS CLASS!! man!! i quickly dropped my hc804 (4got e name.. smth to do with chinese traditional studies.. haha.. took it up anyhow de...) AND ADDED E LYRICS CLASS!!! =) yeah!!
satisfied, i went on surfing.. juz when i was abt to log off, i decided to juz refresh e page... AND...
i saw vacancy for MY SPANISH CLASS!! wondering for a while, i still decided to 忍痛&割爱 & dropped my lyrics class for the spanish... man, i wish i could have both.. but too bad they clashed.. & it'll be too heavy anw... nvm, dere's still more sems =)
anyways, was super delighted la!! shldnt have gone for add/drop on tue.. wasted my time la!! in e end still got my wish granted during e mass add/drop... chey... heehee...

well.. so i stayed outta school on mon, wed & fri dis week, & only for dis week.
SIGH~~~
it's a FIVE-DAYS WEEK dis sem!!!
guess u cant be that lucky all the time yea?? =p

SCB outing! @ tm again..

2007-01-06T00:24:00.000+08:00

YEAH!!!~ met up with my ex-SCB colleagues again.. wahaha.. actually cos maxime is leaving soon (she decided not to extend her contract le..) so she decided to take the initiative to ask us out again =)

actually supposed to meet up with Max, Jean & Joanne de.. but joanne wasnt feeling fine, so she didnt join us in the end... =(
but nvm. ate yoshinoya with maxime (thou no student meal =( ) & met a 凶 waitor... then later i tot the guy who cleared our table was the same waitor.. turned out he wasnt. He was the waitor's xiong di.. no, brother anot i dunno la.. but definitely his "凶弟"... wahaha...
Meanwhile max updated me abt the happenings in the office... chit-chat, gossip lah... ;-)
Max asked me 没有人追你吗？HAHAHA.. me this kinda looks... 应该等久。。。都没有人吧。。。
Jean came late! but cos she got seminar la.. ran in yoshi like a siao zha bo =pPp but she's always so hyper!~ so fun!!

after jean couldnt get her chawamushi, we went to starbucks instead. On the way, we saw the friendly gentleman from the office. He's not from our side de, but he was so nice to talk to me every morning @ the pantry.. wanted to give him choco when i left de, but didnt noe his name & didnt really noe him tt well.. oh well..
PLUS we met jeanette!!! haha.. by chance! So we juz 硬硬 force her to join us.. keke.. aiyah! she only live opp max, where it is walkable dist from tm leh...
Basically, i was the 1st temporary admin assistant sok cheng hired.. then after that, she hired jean as my replacement.. & juz b4 jean leaves, came Jeanette to subt her.. so in all, we were the "1st" 3 generations of temp staff of SME Banking =) & Maxime is the senior, who is the contract worker who has worked with all 3 of us!! =D

we talked until it was... 11.30PM!!?!? my goodness!! i have missed 7-8 calls from home cos my hp spoilt, cant add vibration mode, so didnt hear the rings when they called =( got a scolding from my mom.. super shocked la! didnt noe she would be so picky when i go out with my ex-colleagues.. *she isnt like this if i go out with frens...*
Before i called back, i was like, "HAH??! 11++ le.. will i have transport home??" kind maxime offered me a place to stay over at.. i tot it a good idea since i got nth the nxt day & we could watch doraemon tgt =pPp who knows!~ when i suggested that to my mom, she said NO WAY!! & insisted she'l cum all the way to tampines to pick me up... haiz.. thinkin that there was still mrt home (i tot e last train is at 12?????), i said "ok lor *with =(* to go home"... BUDDEN when i got to the mrt @ 11.30, there was already no train to boon lay!! my gawd~ thou i was abit happy/worried [happy = got chance to stay over @ max's ; worried : mommy, in her bad bad mood, sure will scold de] i called home again.. so yar, mommy really came & picked me up...

HAIZ. & guess wad was my mom's reason for not letting me stay over?
i was shocked at her huge reaction cos usually she's not lydat.. tt time i last min wanna go lou's hall stay over (plus my hp was outta batt AND i was meetin SCB colleagues the nxt day str from hall), she still used a nice tone & agreed almost immediately...
but this time she said NO. with such a force. the reason? cos max is alr a working adult.. haha... my mom say i dunno her well enough & blah blah blah... please la, as if last time i noe my 1st 3mths' class for long, i also went over to their houses b4 wad.. & i noe max for FOUR months EVERYDAY.. unless she changed alot these 6 months, else she will still be the person i talked so much to rite?
anw nvm la... 19岁的自由也许也没什么自由。。。

Actually initially b4 meetin up with them, i was a little scared.. wondered if i could still chit-chat so carefreely like last time.. turned out my worry was redundant... ended up havin a GREAT TIME + CHAT with all of them~ so fun!! let's meet up more!!

Afternoon At Suntec

2006-12-28T22:18:00.000+08:00

yeah! went out with geraldine, quek qing & yunqi today... ger's sms didnt say anything specific, so i tot there was no planned event. but after meeting yunqi 1st (i was 15 min late, yunqi ard tt too, ger was 40 min & qq 1 hr??), apparently, they had already decided to watch "Night At the Museum" lor.. *lucky i brought enough $$...

at 1st went to marina sq, tinkin tt gv better... but the timings not so good -- either we have a rushed lunch (with qq vv late) or yunqi & ger had to rush after the movie.. so we decided to have a nice lunch (PizzaHut's Student Meal! :) ) and watched it at Eng Wah instead...

$6.50 for a movie tix used to be v ex.. only on weekends/PHs... but now, it's e cheapest rate around... on a ulu-ulu weekday, in a ulu-ulu place... haha... but for me, i still tink it's very ex... i dun tink i mind waiting a year or two to watch it on tv... i mean, good things are worth waiting for, isn't it? ;)

anw Night At the Museum was not bad lah... not vv nice, but nice enough =p
tink i like the two little men best... owen wilson and who ar? i dunno...
tink will always rmb e part where sakagewae (how to spell???!) said, "he went east. and then he crashed"... "how did you know?!" and then she pointed to the vehicle.. LOL. at least smth humourous nearing the climax bah...

anw, glad to meet up with old friends... think they've been seeing each other often, i was the "odd one out"... but nvm =) took quite a few photos & managed to get qq get a new shirt! maybe our next outing can be set an objective : to give qq a thorough makeover!! =D

Merry Merry Rainy Christmas!

2006-12-25T21:05:00.000+08:00

i used to send lotsa christmas cards to my friends... even last yr, althou i had to go operation onn22 dec, i still did send many cards.. somehow, maybe this yr had been busy with song signing, HI'Spore event, tuition & stuff, not much mood to do so many things le... on top of that, postage fees had gone up again? i tink so rite... but haven got the time to go exchange the old stamps for the new ones yet...

anw this yr had also been quite passive. i waited for pple to sms me then i reply back... haha... so those who nv wish me, they didnt get my wishes too! =p abit lazy bah... maybe reali tired le...

but still wanna say MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! =)

ok! wanted to share this reali COOL sms from kek (my ss group leader)... she compiled all the songs we performed for Song Signing!! =D
Hey... it is CHRISTMAS TIME...! Do you have any CHRISTMAS WISH this year? I heard that Santa is coming to town, all the way from SANTA CLAUS LANE! Are you ready? Wads your ONLY WISH THIS YEAR? Or ALL YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS ME? hahaha... Remember to KISS your loved ones AT MIDNIGHT yar! Merry Christmas! Love & Peace for you & me! Happy Happy yar!

Santa Can You Hear Me?~

2006-12-23T11:07:00.000+08:00

Woo hoo!!~ im finally done with this song!! :D
after hearing it 10.30am-3pm, 4 times a week for a month!!!!
Performance was not bad lah.. juz tt i din get to inform my frens abt the performing dates [stupid comp broke down!! =( ) and when gor came back & fixed e comp, i din get to use it whenever as i wish... =( ]

anw tink i liked the v-shpaed performance best... it's the only formation i din make any slight mistakes!! maybe cos im most familiar with that?? anw, we used it on the 1st day (19/12) @ eastpoint, & 3rd day (21/12) @ bugis. althou we did have a small incident during the start of our performance at bugis. the music stopped!!! oh man!!?!? but luckily, only 2 people were signing then, the rest of us were swaying. so we juz paused there. feedback was that we paused & resumed immediately, responding to the music uniformly!! yeah!! good job everyone! =)

well, 2nd day (20/12) was at jurong point. sickening place. MAN. they had a stage, juz to accommodate 6 shaking christmas trees??!!? wad a waste of money & space rite?? made us perform in a narrow aisle. so not sincere. & our items had to be rushed cos there were the "shaking trees' performances" @ 7pm AND 8pm. wah liao... & we were basically signing to little children who were sitting in front of us/the stage because they were waiting for the trees' dance! anw, had almost no mistake until kp asked me to move back abit. end up both of us missed the signings for that part. lolx. but ok la... only a slight mistake... =(
oh! but i saw marco!! so surprised lor!! then he still asked me if i recognise him... actually by looks, maybe not really.. since i cant rmb faces well.. but i rmb his voice! haha! =D but was too shocked to say ath except pushing him & his gf (?) the sign lang cards we were supposed to distribute... haha...

the last day~ we had a "good" (at least to me) lunch @ mos. yiying actually meant "good meal" as in a really good meal thou.. haha! nvm. im satisfied with mos =p our group leader who had the previous mass-sms everyone to bring the gift for exchange forgot about his own one. haha! so quanli went back home to get his gift. after lunch, i gave everyone (only ss group A peeps & seniors lah) their postcards & toblerone. [i wrote til 2am that day kkz!!] haha... mainly gave according to joking manner lah.. but meiying apparently dun like the baby's feet & instead focused on the "HIV positive" statement. so quick-witted me said it means "Hearing Impaired Volunteer positive" :P
then performance was not bad lah... but i almost did the "bring me love" wrongly... end up still got give e heart to kelvin lah... but from video should be able to see that i brought e heart from the air, instead of my heart there =p
AND it was gift exchange! farrago's had it before performance. i picked cheryl (gave her a ceramic bear with heart) while yen ting picked me!! gave me a dog-bone keychain... for ss group, i picked min yee (gave her a hp pouch with a ballerina bear attached.. super cute!!) and Soon Eng picked me!! haha... & i still suan-ed him last time [cos he bought the same thing for soya-bean, whom he picked for senior-xchange, as wenqi who picked him for ss] he gave me a deer keychain... made me wonder... do i have the "pls-give-me-keychain" face?? hahaha...

all in all, songsigning had been tiring but fun also lah... may we be able to keep in touch! =)

nonononono

2006-12-10T16:51:00.000+08:00

haha, the above is actually one of the lines amongst the songs WSC-HI is gonna perform dis xmas. "Xmas Wish" by 98degree if im not wrong... the formation at this part very commical de! Hui & Mel doing the "no" HI sign while shaking their heads, with expression!! =D

anw, it's holidays!! How could i not have updated anything since my last day of exams! How could i have been more active then, during my exam period & slack now?? Guess my CCA is even more mentally exhausting than preparing for exams... =S

Basically we are now busy practising signing Xmas Songs for performances on 19 - 22 dec, at eastpoint, jurong point, west mall & bugis... sigh. there's practices EVERY alternate DAYS ie mon, wed, fri AND SATURDAY~ 10.30am - 3.30pm lor. no joke man.

On top of that, Farrago-ians hafta prepare for HI'Spore event next feb.
Well, u see, the Welfare Services Club - Hearing Impaired (WSC-HI) are split into 3 centres, the Clementi & Kallang peeps are i/c of tuition to school students while farrago teaches chinese to HI adults. & every year, every centre have different activities to be i/c, but ALL of us from WSC-HI have to participate in all three.
So currently, all these practices are due to the Xmas Song Signing organised by Clementi Centre... while the other 2 centres (Kallang & Farrago) have to juggle with practising AND planning for our events lor.......

My group's song is "My Only Wish" by Britney Spears. Honestly, i like the other groups' songs better... haha.. like "Christmas Time" & "Down Santas Claus Lane"... There's also "Christmas Wish" (mentioned at the start =P) & "Kiss Me at Midnight"... But ay, nvm la... shall cont'd to act like im enjoying it :P so far, whenever we perform in front of the seniors, they always say im enjoying e song.. ok la.. im enjoying PERFORMING is more correct :P
so far, formation more or less done... so it's juz practising and more practising...

But tmr i gonna have new partner le... again!
Cos initially we thought our group is down to 8 from 10 peeps. Then this guy kelvin suddenly say he can come le... so we tink of 9 peeps formation liao... so my 8-ppl formation partner Kok Ping left me... then before kel comes & join us on 11th, Min Yi (female senior) have been acting as "my kelvin" for 3 days... i wonder if Kel will be as fun as the rest... haha! will always rmb how me & KP acted lor.. until e seniors say we very tou ru while the other couple (Shuhui & Quanli) not much chemistry... cant blame them la.. we arent as shy as them mah... then we always do exaggerate actions... hahaha...

okies.. so for now, "My Only Wish" is: hope that kel is a fun guy!! =D

unlike for physics where i had to stand till outram *i tink*. sickening. knew i had a bad day coming.
but today, nope =) got a seat. Didnt want to sit at first. Cos i overheard this daddy asking his daughter to go & sit. But she (a young gal) dun wan. Dun wan good. Then i can sit all the way till boon lay. Haha.
& when i sit down with my notes on my hand, i noticed that this guy on my left was reading something familiar....
Daniel (Actually it's William) Callister!
no lah. not the person. but materials science textbook! haha.. coursemate... tt's wad i tot at first. then it dawned upon me that the pobability of nus ms & ntu ms exam day coincide is very small. turned out i was right! we sat all the way til boon lay... haha.. still didnt get to know him in the end. In fact i don even rmb his face le... only his red&black skeleton file. LoL.
hmm...

Mechanics Nightmare that doesnt bring light nor warm the night

2006-11-23T23:18:00.000+08:00

Haha... Basically the title sums up my Physics Paper.
Topics: Mechanics, Thermal , Optics
Hardness: Undescribable.

Goodness. Im so disappointed in myself for not able to do the mechanics. My fav since f maths' times! But ever since i couldnt do my batch maths' S A level papers, my fate with mechanics seemed to have disappeared =(

I mean, i went into the hall, CONFIDENT of my lack in confidence in doing well. I just know. Since i dun like the 2nd lecturer. *Hush. A few of my friends, apparently, like/admire her a lot. and i mean, a lot.* I dun understand what she's taught. So i bought serways. But me being lazy me, nv make full use of it =(

Basically, i just gave up on optics, memorized formulas (which was given!) for both thermal & optics, & placed my luck on mechanics Qns, thinking that there was an option.
For the past years, students get to choose 4 out of 6 questions (normally 3 mechanics, 1 thermal, 2 optics). I was placing bets on 2 mechanics & 1 thermal, weighing the last one on either mechancis or optics [maybe gonna be easy leh?].
But but but
BUT why oh why?! our year, there are only choosing 4 out of FOUR?!?! MAN. It sucks.
So i screwed up. Haizzzz....

She's extinguishing my passion for physics...
or has she already did that?
Nope! i wont let her do that! I wont let her evil plan succeed!

And how clever is she? I dunno... but to be a prof, i guess u have to be damn smart.
But 聪明的人不一定会做简单的事。
Goodness! She doesnt even know how to collect papers lor! After the exams, different invigillators went around collecting. At first i was wondering, if 2 of them, one goes this direction, the other that, then my column & the one on my left left with no invigillators to collect our papers! Just as i stoppped wondering, i saw her placing answer booklets back on the students' tables.
WAHAHAHAHA.
such a simple task, and she cant handle it??
Worst still, take wrongly take wrongly lah! just give what you've collected back to the person who's supposed to collect lah! Y put back onto the tables & make the innocent party walk & collect all over again?
Poor mel was sitting on the affected column. Mel said when she came from the back, she just smacked the answer booklet onto her table. So violent.
Like yingjie says, she's just 扮高贵。
the best of her lectures? Laughing at her fake & changing accent/s! =D

Anw, it was play time aft that. Since materials science paper is on tue... 4 days break! so went jp to eat...
On my way home on bus 154, i saw this jam in nygh. Haha.. Only in big school with roads & parents who are rich will there be such a phenomenon.

Damn Shagged ar~~~

2006-11-21T22:49:00.000+08:00

Having two papers in one day is not advisable.
And having two papers in one day with less than two hours break is strongly not advisable!!!
Haha.. abit regret lah.. but i really really really love my elective leh! (& according to vanessa, my lecturer too! *_*) so no regrets! ahaha.. even if i dun do well...
or least maybe next time, i gotta make sure i got enough sleep!! im so tired =(

MAS801 - It's A Discreetly Discret World - Maths in Reallife Applications
The questions, erms, i tink, do-able lah... just that if it's do-able, means everyone will do well... again!
[the last time quiz, i tink average 80++ - 90 lor... even got many 100! i only got 96 lah]
But i think many questions, the last part i dun reallie noe how to do leh... then my max flow prob. OMG!!?!?! i had to draw that idiotic, chim-alogic diagram 7 times. SEVEN TIMES u noe!!?! sickening.. wanted to take short cuts.. okiez, did took one small one near the end =p
Think the lecturer so sly lor!! Firstly, the easy stuff were exempted [including the very interesting NRIC alpha thingy]. Then, cryptography (one of my favourite topics) didnt come out!! >=( Next, out of 5 qns, last yr's 2 qns were the non-examinable topics! like tat how to use last yr's papers as practice??
aiyoyo.. if it weren't for his excellent teachings & friendly personality, i would hate him to the core man!
so even though he's sly, but i still like~ (*_*) kekez..

FE1004 - Life Science
Hmm.. what can i say? Tik-gam half the paper... thou expected.. LOL. But think overall, quite managable lah... but questions based on chapter 1 were pure crap lah!!
Q: Vanda Miss Joaquim is ____
Options: A butterfly blah blah blah (cant remember details le)
A reptile blah blah blah
Singapore's National Flower
A herbs used in World War I
Q: How many types of orchids in S'pore Orchid Garden?
Man! he asked us to find out during the lecture!!! but i tink hardly anyone bother lor! even thou i wrote in my notes & keep telling myself im going to check it out... but i nv did.. haha!
ok. i just went to search (finally!)... it says 20,000 orchids leh.. same as species? not really, in the biology terms. Haha! But the option were "more than 10, 000" and "about 24,000".. so 20,000 belong to which category? Hai...
Oh! and we werent allowed to bring home the question paper! Sucky lah! the other subjects (so far) can lor! Think tt's y there's no past yrs' papers... maybe cos they wanna reuse e qns!!! afterall, what else can you ask from facts but the facts themselves?
But i was so pissed that i wrote "I want my Question Paper! =(" all over e paper! Haha! yes, "=(" included! =)

First and Last

2006-11-17T22:38:00.000+08:00

Okay... Had my first ntu exam paper -- Maths 1 ! Haha.. so many careless mistakes!! argh!@^$@&#% must be cos too long never take exam le.. keke... Then i still abit lost on my vectors. Did i get it wrong? or correct?! at first i juz do (ai yah, cos last time fm do vectors do until can close eyes do le!) then i nv really carefully check.. until e last second i saw i wrote the plane (to be found) is perpendicular to the normal (of the plane given)... which means the new plane is parallel to the given plane, meaning they should have same normal! OMG! budden i re-read the paper after the exams, the question says "the new plane is perpendicular to the given plane" leh... meaning i took cross-product is correct lah!? aiyoo... still very blur =S & my volume of revolution!! careless!! y did i just blindly apply formula?! & my Simpson's Rule! Why did i use my graphic calculator?! =(
so.... I still cant really guess my outcome leh...

And the LAST
i just had my last tuition. or least in the near future [one month, to be exact. ONLY one month =(] oh wells. quite rushed. & i missed princess hours. haha.. but he say he gonna buy me present! so i tink i shall get him one too! especially since he's gotten high marks & 4th in class, 16th in level! wow. not so good as me last time lah [HAHAHAHA]
but still, good enough le =)
加油！猫爪功！

New songs...

2006-11-16T01:40:00.000+08:00

WooO... so long nv update songs le... wrote not-so-long ago, but only updated recently are 3 of my latest songs! =D but this time round, i only like the lyrics leh... not so satisfied with the tunes!! =( sighs.

anw do check them out at http://-manster-.blogspot.com kekez...

Ooh, even thou i wasnt exactly satisfied with the drama (after so much rah-rahs about it.) it just wasnt just as good as xin niang 18 sui (wah liaozz.. cant type chinese yet again! anyone, any help?!) There's so much talking by both the girl (Caijing) & Xin about their "Real love". PLEASE. Emotions are to be FELT, not SAID OUT. quite lousy script, in my opinion. The plot could be more realisitc also. If as a married woman (meaning Caijing), you know some other man (ie Lu) like you, would you still dare to be so close to him while exclaiming that you truly love your hubby (ie Xin)?? i think i would stay far far away from Lu lor! & she even let him kissed her, without any sense of objection!! & when her "true love" hubby wanna do the same thing, what's with the ultra big reaction?! ai yo.... so all in all, quite disappointed with the anticipation lor =(
BUT [oops! off track of the original!] "你我是傻瓜" (side sound track of the drama) is 好听！ Nice! E lyrics v meaningful (thanks to the translated lyrics! :D) & the tune also very nice!! yeah... at least one good thing out of all these major rah-rahs~

Zee-ka-BOOM!

2006-11-13T23:38:00.000+08:00

Recently a lot of people are crazy over a certain type of weather. By publishing this post, I may 得罪 many people.. Haha.. But ay, it just my personal opinion wad. 见仁见智吧。。。 I mean, u have to admit that diff people support/against diff people rite?
这就是现实的世界。

& for a discussion show on the topic if his concert ticket was really worth $888 [SGD. Mind u], 我最讨厌的新闻主播 (seriously I tink she’s a real sl*t) called him 小天王. By giving him this 封号, she already made her stand clear which side she’s on. Man, isn’t the host supposed to be sitting on the fence? 先入为主的讨论，是否会start with the host’s mindset & end with the host’s same mindset? Then what’s the point of the discussion?!?!

I heard his song on yes933. Goodness!! I can only hear the drum beat lor! I haven’t seen his dance moves (which may explain why I’m yet mesmerised by him) BUT his song totally turned me off. Not that I dun understand Korean, I cant even hear a single bit of Korean he’s singing!

Haha. This is probably the 1st time I’m so not impressed with a 天王. At least last time with
四大天王，我年纪还小，只会跟风。
F4， not really impressed. But okay lah…
5566，他们最初的努力，还不错. Budden they turned proud... *i tink*

我心目中唯一的天团 – 五月天！！！ =)

What Your Name Means (Numerology)

2006-11-06T21:36:00.000+08:00

http://www.paulsadowski.com/NameData.asp

(from jw's blog)

You entered: Liu Yuman
There are 8 letters in your name. Those 8 letters total to 35
There are 4 vowels and 4 consonants in your name.

Your number is: 8
The characteristics of #8 are: Practical endeavors, status oriented, power-seeking, high-material goals.

The expression or destiny for #8:
Your Expression is represented by the number 8. The 8 Expression is well-equipped in a managerial sense. You have outstanding organizational and administrative capabilities. You have the potential for considerable achievement in business or other powerful positions. You can expect to receive the financial and material rewards. You have the skill and abilities to establish or operate a business with great efficiency. You have good judgment when it comes to money and commercial matters, and you understand how to build and accumulate material wealth. Much of your success (or lack of it) may come due to your ability (or inability) to judge character. With the number 8 Expression, you exercise sound judgment in most of your affairs; you are realistic and practical in your approach to business matters.

The positive 8 Expression produces individuals that are very ambitious and goal-oriented. If the 8 energy is not in excess in your makeup, you will no doubt express these traits to some extent. No one has any more energy that a person with the 8 Expression who has a plan laid and is starting to work. No one has any more self-confidence, either. If you are expressing the positive qualities of 8, you are an outstanding manager because you can plan, initiate, and complete projects; you are very dependable and determined.

As it always happens, there can be too much of a good thing. If you have too much of the 8 energy in your makeup, you may express some of the negative attitudes. A negative 8 can be very rigid and stubborn. Ambition sometimes has a way of becoming over-ambition, and you may express an unreasonable impatience with the lack of progress. If your negative side is showing, you may be too exacting, both of yourself and of others. Sometimes this can even becomes a case of intolerance.

The number 8 is very materialistic and also very desirous of status and power. Neither of these drives are inherently negative unless they are taken to an extreme. You must avoid the tendency to strain after money, material matters, status, or power, to the detriment of the other important factors in your life.

Your Soul Urge number is: 7

A Soul Urge number of 7 means:
With a number 7 Soul Urge you are very fond of reading, and retreating to periods of being alone and away from the disruptions of the outer world. You like to dream and develop you idealistic understandings, to study and analyze, to gain knowledge and wisdom. You may be too laid back and withdrawn to really succeed in the business world, and you will be much more comfortable in circumstances that are tolerant of your reserve, your analytical approach, and your desire to use your mind rather than your physical being.

You are very timid around people that you don't know very well, so much so at times that casual conversation and social situations can be strained. You tend to repress your emotions to the extend that some people have a good bit of difficult understanding you. You tend to be very selective with friends and you don't easily adapt to new environments or to new people very quickly.

The negative traits of the 7 include becoming too much the introvert and isolated from others.

Your Inner Dream number is: 1
An Inner Dream number of 1 means:
You dream of being a leader and one who is in charge. You want to be known for your courage, daring, and original ideas. You seek unconquered heights. People may get a first impression that you are very aggressive and sure of yourself.

“不准哭”
为什么心情不好还要抿着脸微笑
为什么受委屈还还要被欺负
为什么坚强背后一定要有脆弱

为什么只能独自流泪，在你面前的强颜欢笑
为什么有时累了，有时烦了，却都只能有自己的肩膀

Laughing at my song where I had intended laughter -- i dun mind
Laughing at where I had a story to tell -- I MIND

Telling me to wait when the tutor have something to say -- i dun mind
Making me wait, ignoring me then tell me very 丢脸 to stand up then see the tutor have something to say so wait -- I MIND

Making me wait cos of late release -- i dun mind
Making an effort to catch up -- I APPRECIATED

对不起有那么难说吗？
我是个容易生气的女生，但也很容易消气。
只需三个字，加上一个对的程序
就能把阳光照在我黑暗的脸
难道这样你们都不舍得给?

Highly sensitive. I don't like to be brought from one HI-state to a low-state.
Even though it made me feel bad when an innocent 3rd party feels guilty.

I'm sorry. I know it's not your fault. It was just a bad timing that i had to wait for you for 45 mins when i was in a rush. Worst still, they had made me so mad that i wanted to tell u everything. sigh. I'm sorry that i looked away even though i saw you caught up with my bus. I know my walking speed. And i know you must have really ran after me. I really appreciated it.

It was you who wanted me to go and clear our doubts and yet, you guys didnt move a bum when i already stood up. "Very pai seh leh" WAH LIAOS. i was already standing up le, so u are implying im embarassing myself?? I know you all are still pondering over the tutorial answers, but cant u respond to me?!?! even a "wait a while" is better than complete ignorance! Why must you wait til muru came forth from the desk then you said "we go ask him later"??! did you know he gave me a pissed look??!
And when we finally went up to him, did you realise i haven finished asking my doubts and you thanked him?! without looking at us to confirm that we too, are done??

All i need is just a simple 5-letter word. Regardless you really mean it or not.
Is that too much?
Too much to ask for...
Because usually i won't get my wish granted :(

What Color is Your Brain?

GREEN:At'>http://images.quizilla.com/K/kstarbuck/1083637284_andomGreen.jpg">
GREEN:

At work or in school: I work best by myself. I like to focus on my ideas until my desire for understanding is satisfied. I am easily bored if the subject holds no interest to me. Sometimes, it is hard for me to set priorities because so many things are of interest.
With friends: I may seem reserved. Although my thoughts and feelings run deep, I am uneasy with frequent displays of emotion. I enjoy people who are interesting and of high integrity.
With family: I am probably seen as a loner because I like a lot of private time to think. Sometimes, I find family activities boring and have difficulty following family rules that don't make sense to me. I show love by spending time with my family and sharing ideas and interests.

Cherishing the last weeks...

2006-07-29T18:22:00.000+08:00

Spent this week going out... haha... quite tiring though satisfying.. cos i reali dunno how long it would be til we all meet again...

Mon: Slack at home while trying to improve my ETP (end of term performance) but to no avail.

Tue: Meet up with merle to ask for her help. but not much was done either. she also say she dunno how to do chords/accompliment.
so im appealing to readers of my blog now:
ANYONE WHO KNOW HOW TO DO CHORDS/ACCOMPLIMENTS IS WILLING TO HELP ME?!?! PLEASE~
after that, we ate lunch (parklane wanton mee!) & went icon/bugis village to shop shop (merle wanna look for belt). Had budget dinner =p & went for the song-composing lesson.
Hai, realli discouraged now. Dun tink i wanna cont'd le... uni life shld be qt tough, summore ntu so far from hark music! on top of that, the teacher alr xian ru wei zhu, had bias views on different students le. not very helpful summore. i reali dunno how to do chords mah! wah liaoz. & that was my aim when i joined this class! to learn how to make a complete song! but what has he done? telling us about rights & more rights. IM NOT HERE TO SELL SONGS! but to MAKE SONGS!! argh.

Wed: Mom went indo. While i went for dental (Dr Lee was in such a bad mood. kept chiding the nurse :S scary~). After that meet Cedar Family (Van mommy, Kim papa, Lou Zhu ren & Beni) @ ps. Cos beni leaving for US on fri 6AM le... & she gonna spend the thur night over at the airport. wow. with her fren(S?)... hohoho...
TAKE CARE BENI! dun change too much!!

Thur: Went to eat Sakura@ Clementi Woods Park with michelle. opp nus. not very nice leh... as in not worthy of e $20 we paid for. thou there was japanese paper steamboat (which was soup tasted like Chinese HERBAL soup :/) & abalone! (but michelle say it taste fake) Went to nus so that we could take 151 home. But saw huifang! =) so went to her hostel room. Lucky i dun stay in hostel lor... the room so small! haha.. im used to my big room le =p was supposed to meet qy & merle for dinner, but kena postponed...

Fri: and so, i met them on fri... Wah liao, cos i think i've spent too much le, so decided to eat dinner at home then meet qiao yun & merle. BUT merle had to try out the nonya buffet we saw on tue (beside parklane wanton mee) -_-"" so there they were, eating the buffet while i sat there, trying to show everyone (the staff lah!) that i nv eat! haha.... *shh* but i did kopped e nonya kuehs lah.. two only!
went bugis junction to shop abit. saw M'industrie sale items. i wanna get the pants! the skirt! maybe the jeans!! i needa buy bottoms leh... hahaha....

kinda looking forward to uni, kinda not...

Settled for Settlers'

2006-07-23T23:59:00.001+08:00

It's my lunar bday!! but mom & dad went to m'sia on a hiking trip... hAhA, but feeling bad, my mom brought back a cake! Cappucino though... though when she was buying, she kept thinking about my fav -- tiramisu! She mistook cappucino for tiramisu lor =( nvm lah. taste nice still =) AND... it's the thought that counts! so yar, apparently her thought was tiramisu ;-)

okie. enough crapping.

today's main event is ---> Jie Mei Outing! =D
Today's attendance: All except Huey Min... too bad she had something on... & the place was too far from her house... ai yah, all uncle's fault! hafta book in @ tampines by 23:59...
This time round, must give a round of applause to Da Jie! If not for Bert taking up the role (sharing with me?), i dun tink this outing would be successful ba... haha... thanks da jie! =)

At first we met at parkway parade de lor.. but then turned out, everyone was late =/ despite me being late by 15min, i was still the earliest... =S wanted to eat Fish & Co one.. cos i haven tried it before... pastamania wasnt too bad either.. but the last one who came = the one who made us meet at the east... (i didnt mind actually.. since im an 'east-er' :P) = wee wee suggest we go somewhere called Settlers' Cafe where we can eat & play board games at the same time. (something like Mind Cafe)

We started with a game called "Snorta" (spelling? ai yah, CHAO TA lah... tt's wad i called it...haha) We each picked an animal (cant see) from a bag. Lusi got pig (oinki oinku), me cat (MOO~oew), wee wee donkey (eyohe, or ee your head!), choon hwee cow (moo), bert sheep (baah, at 1st he wanted a confused sheep [woof!] haha! then after much confusion, he chose a normal sound after all!)
the game is such that each player get a stack of cards & turn them over one at a time. then whenever two similar cards appear between two players, they must shout the other's animal sound. so yea, mine was like similar to hui ge's but his was the easiest. But cos too little ppl playing, not that confusing yet lah... But wee wee was qt good, suay me kena twice by him! >.< changing ="/

then we played game of LIFE. cos i said i nv play before :P had to choose to start with college path (needa borrow $ from bank) or career path. picked the occupation as doctor at 1st. but wee wee spotted that i needed a "degree" so picked another one. Salesperson. Not bad lah, quite like the real me ;-) & i get to earn commission! The best thing was, i got the $100,000 salary!! BEST one, at least amongst us =p stoopid ching wee keep cursing me, saying "wanna slap me" cos my life was de best, & swear he wanna get my salary card. wah liao... in e end, i gotta switch with bert ($70,000. still not bad lah) then bert switched with choon hwee, AND THEN CHOON HWEE GOTTA SWITCH WITH WEE WEE LOR! wah.. was so pissed! haha... but nvm, i still won in the end ;-) just by counting my $500,000 notes, the rest's whole assets couldnt even fight! even the only LIFE card i had was worth as much as the FOUR life cards wee wee had =p
But the highlight of this game is, both me & bert played guy (i was supposed to be female!) and married another GUY!! Haha... Wee wee said we were fulfilling our inner desires to be gays =pPp Even funnier, as the game went on, Bert got a pair of twins & he chose both as boys. But then, later on, he tio a baby GAL!... poor gal lor! gotta grow up in a family of gAys (parents + brothers *potential gays*) HAHAHAHA

Nest we played Jenga (Truth or Dare version) but not that nice... so we switched after 5 turns? LOL. played this SUPER confusing game Elixis (i tink) Reali very confusing. But all in all, it's about casting spells, finding the ingredients you need & there are also other action cards... The objection is to get rid of all your spells. I casted one which exchanged Lusi's spells with mine cos mine was like Level 4 (aka i need 4 ingredients). I thought very hard to find mah.. Who noes, lusi managed to get it & WON the game! =)

Which also ended our day/nite dere. But kena cheated one hr!! See, we were supposed to get 2 hrs 'free' (cos we bought the dinner set) But there was no reminder lor! the person only came to tell us @ 2.5hr mark. It's his fault lor! even he admit. but NO DISCOUNT. wah liao... say wad his boss will fire him. HE'S SO WRONG. ppl who noe how to do business, would want to retain customers by pleasing them. To start with, we werent being unreasonable, we were fighting for our own rights. sigh. but okie lah, $18 for whole dinner set + 3 hrs of games + not that bad staff (althou no reminders, they were very patient when explaining game rules to us) + qt nice environment (except the last part where the game was too confusing & there was a loud big noisy gang around. so we MUST TALK AT THIS VOLUME. haha.)

Being kiasu & not wanting to be cheated of half hour (since e guy said @ 2.5hr mark that we were alr into the 3rd hr), we left at 10.45pm. Felt bad for the rest. Cos Bert lives AMK, Lusi Harbourfront, Choon BP. All so far... all wee wee's fault lah! wad book in @ tampines! haha... but lucky for me =p in e end bert took 135 with me =)

anw it's still a nice outing lah. Since i supposed it's gonna be a long loonng time til our next outing... unless someone is willing to take the role to organise to meet on 10th aug! =D

Hokkaido's Fair @ Tampines Mall

2006-07-15T18:34:00.000+08:00

Whilst Maxime went to Japan, I went back to Tampines... no, not to visit her of cos.. (how to, when she's not even around?? lol) but to the Hokkaido Fair @ TM! =)

mAn, it was crowded. okay, not as if i didnt noe from the reports wan bao has been showing since its opening the previous week. But still, i dun like the "crowded" feeling :S
so i wasnt feeling at my best, having to squeeze with strangers... almost wanted to *ROAR* at them. haha.
i get very mean when im pissed.
i get pissed when im irritated.
i gget irritated even at the slightest bit of annoyance.
From whom i inherited this trait, i wonder.
Both my parents are so mild! (to outsiders oNlY ;-p)
therefore, mild * mild = violent.
LOL

budden i tink the goods on sale, similar ones can be found in singapore wad! like the gelato i tried. it's normal lor... wad's the big diff anw?! think it's just our own inner pride trying to deceive ourselves... telling ourselves "wow! we are eating jap stuff!" chey~ not much diff de lor..
there were sushi, sashimi, noodles & croquettes & e sweet stuff (okashi?).. wad i reali wanted to try was this cream puff-alike... but the Q was so super long. so i gave up the thought =( but i reali wanna eat tt one!
nvm. shall make do with singapore muffin/puffs den =p

Mom bought the dried scallop (so ex! 1kg=$78.80 lor! & she bought 1kilo =p cos the lesser u buy, the more ex it becomes... eg if u buy 100g, it cost $9.80, NOT only $7.88) & japanese yam (aka "shan yao" in the chinese term)

so the rewards not that much for this trip. but nvm. at least i went for the fair, which was what i wanted... :) thanks mom, for pei-ing me there!~

KICK~

2006-07-07T14:12:00.000+08:00

this post has nothing to do with the "World Cup" that's going on right now... okay, maybe except this para... think now is Portugal vs Germany for 3rd/4th placing & Italy vs France for the 1st/2nd place. Not vv interested in football. even if i say i support France right from the start, it would just be because i like the country, absolutely nothing to do with the members... haha!

anw, objective of this post: KICK those bad blogging habits.
(must catogerise the bad habits also.. =p cos there are some bad habits i dun wish to kick yet~ lol. like sleeping-ins~)

Bad Blogging Habit #1: Side-tracking
Didnt use to be that way... I dun always "side-track" in my "previous previous previous...." entries. [Side-tracking always results me in off-topic! & an additional, unintentional paragraph.] Think cos last time, i would juz forget about writing that particular event instead of lumping them together in one entry. This bad habit probably is due to the bad habit #2 lah.. so most important thing is to KICK #2!

Bad Blogging Habit #2: Drafts
often, i dun have the time (excuse) or the mood (just plain lazy character) to update my life. So i would write down in point-forms & saved them as drafts 1st, telling myself i would updating it soon. But as my drafts got more & more, my enthu-ness got less & less. The last time me would just forever leave those drafts as drafts. Hence resulting in no update in a very long time.
Either that, or i would suddenly xin xue lai chao & "promote" all the drafts to public-viewing posts. Hence resulting in tonnes of updates at one go.
Hence my posts usually reflect the date of the event, but not necessary the actual date of posting =p

sigh. But after writing all these, i think very hard to change leh.. hahaha...

Lesson 6 & 7

2006-07-04T23:59:00.000+08:00

okie.. 1st time updating about my song composing lessons... all for the sake of merle. haha. cos she went for fass foc last wk, & psycho (okok, psychoLOGY =p) camp.. dumped me! hmph! lol
as a side note, i myself wun be involved in any camps... mom dun allow, saying i juz (mid-june til now?) had an op. would disagree with her. But a recent visit to both Dr Lee (dentist) & Dr Yeow (surgeon) changed my mind. Dr Lee commented my wounds are still quite raw. Ee... y do i always have such slow recovery?? =(
well, at least the stitches from the ear are gone! & i was right! the previous nurse who removed my lip&nose stitches left a tiny bit of stitch on my lips! i was puzzled cos when i apply e cream, there is this blackie "blood clot" that wun go away! then i wondered if the nurse didnt do a clean job. turned out i was right...

Oops. Off-topic!~
Anw, Lesson 6 (27/06/06)
i was the only girl present. Merle went for camp, but Phoebe? dunno... (not v close to the classmates). & i was there early... so i went to look around for CDs to borrow & even scores (wondered if i could get a copy. turn out: yes! yeah!! FREE! yeah!!)
classroom was occupied by a newly started POP PIANO class. Supposed to start at 8, but think it was after all their 1st lesson, so they ended at 8.30pm -_-"" apparently sui an lao shi's "walk back&fro" wasnt effective enough. He had to verbally tell the teacher after several failed attempts of walking hints.

So the remaining 4 of us presented our songs. STUPID SUI AN LAO SHI! initially he had said he wun ask me to sing, knowing i juz had op. BUT he broke his promise lor! wah liaoz~ & i had to be the 1st person! :/ so paiseh... sigh. but hecks. juz went with it anw... turn out, tt engineer (tai an??) so cool! had his song (lyrics + guitar accompliment) saved as mp3 alr; tt event planner guy (jj?) only had music (no lyrics. i had lyrics with melody.); that "seng tat?" guy only had chorus melody, refused to sing or add anything on the spot, regardless wad lao shi say... hmms...

OH! i finally got my red guitar!! woo hoo~ (courtesy of the promotion on Open Day. we got to choose from 3 items if we signed up for any course -> 10% off 3-months' fees, an accoustic guitar [normal, sunburst, black, blue, red] or $150 off selected Yamaha keyboards offered by the school)
but wait.
i dunno how to play?
lol

Lesson 7 (04/07/06)
This lesson was even more pathetic. Attendence: 50%. merle & Phoebe didnt come again. This time, tt "jj" joined them. so the right side was empty while the lefy side of the classroom is filled.

Lesson didnt start late today (the POP PIANO teacher has improved! *clap clap*)
BUT SUI AN LAO SHI cheated me!! ='(
he promised to come early to let me hear the good/pro demos they listened when i was still on mc. But in e end, he only came at 8! wasted my half-hour there lor!
ok, not exactly. i got all the guitar scores i wanted AND i found 真爱宣言 (《再见荧光兰》 [starring thomas wong tian cai & Fann Wong] 's theme song!) piano score! yeah, yeah, i noe it's an oldie by now.. but i reali like the song! & it seems quite simple to play also... *hopefully*

didnt reali do much this lesson. Listened to Dick's speech at the music seminar (which i already attended with merle liaoz...) & discussed the roles & order in making of an album. Quite useless... i dun wanna noe all these stuff! i wanna improve on my song in preparation to the end-of-term performance!
nvm. at least now i know what's the rates ;)

Bye Hanjie~

2006-07-01T23:11:00.001+08:00

Hanjie is leaving for Aust (melb uni) nxt wk... But she's v nice & pro-active, still organise an outing so we can meet up.. (some people rather remain inactive de lor...)

like wad charm said, hj has the charms~ haha.. charm said it was the "biggest" class outing she's seen. Of cos mah~ hj kai kou, who will reject her?? ;-D
who turned up: hanjie, me, charmaine, derrick, beng hee, ming xian, sanjay, dong yu, jun jing, caleb, dax.
even dax came.. thou late.. thou no money... (he only had $4? or smth...)
suddenly reminded me of my mom's words.. "always bring enough money when u go out!~ not very nice when other people want to eat then u have no money too..."

had steamboat at marina. was supposed to meet @ 6.30. Had estimated the travelling time would be 0.5hr de lor.. turned out, 15min was enough! As if not enough, gan jiong mommy sent me off to the mrt super early, resulting me to reach super early also. So i purposely dropped off at city hall (opp platform is actually towards jurong east. i should drop off at raffles place) & walk the stairs down so that i switch to the platform with train towards marina bay. haha... purposely missed 4 trains AND STILL reached there at 6!! :/

so waited for vvv long time. Hj was late! But surprising saw Audrey, Bao Zeng, Shiqi & Clarissa. Tot got 4O gathering nv ask me. lol.

all in all, the outing was quite nice lah.. just that it's so weird... last time with 04s14 (pae), whenever we go out, there will always be after-meal plans. Actually, there isnt. But all of us would just dun feel like parting yet, guys & gals. It'll always turn out to be wandering around (wun 4get the walk from steamboat to bus-stop then ONE STOP from mrt then to esplanade) & finally, it will end with an in-prompt-to sleepover! Even the guai ones (like me! :P) stay!
but this outing, it was steamboat & just steamboat. Well, that gang of guys have more plans, but they juz refuse? to include the rest of us.. Oh wells. I dun mind anyway. It's already been like this for 2years, what's with 2more hours?
anw meeting hj was the objective. which is why i nv even ask her. 2yrs++ of "kena cheated" le, still wun understand her meh? always have people's hopes high up, then last minute crash the dreams... how she used to use up (the nice way of sayin waste) my free periods gossiping, & yet now choose to ignore me on msn...
sigh. friendship? or so-called friendship?
已经没有期望了，所以也没有失望了。。。

Nose Op

2006-06-24T14:20:00.000+08:00

It's been 10 days since my operation. seems that this time round, not as many knew about the op. no update on blog, nv keep telling people also... in e end, it's mainly my colleagues from work who know. even penny! lol.

for those who dunno, i juz went for another operation to lift my collapsed nostril (using a soft bone from my ear. ouch! my ear still itch & hurt :( ), lip revision & scar revision. Apparently, they cut the old scar (which sealed my split lips) & redo it. :S quite scary come to tink about it... but strangely, i dun feel much pain. the most painful part is actually the ear... hahaha

anw, tis time only stayed in hospital for 3 days (including operation day. got admitted in the wee hours. okie okie, 7am isnt exactly wee wee alr. =p) the doctors actually wanted to let me go the very next day! but my mom was worried (due to the complication the previous op) so they said "okay. you can stay for as long as you like"
-_-""
my mom was like, "it's not i like. it's im scared that there will be complications again. like last time. due to the neglect of the professionals."

so this time round, no one came for visit. no elton, no cedarian family... only mom & dad & granny. My gor & relatives never even come this time round~ hmm... quite pathetic eh? reminds me of maxime when i went to visit her. she got sO many presents!! *envy envy* especially like the floating balloon... so nice~

it's funny how some people, despite knowing you are hospitalised, & apparently quite free, just refuse to go for a visit. If that person is someone whom you considered good friend, is it still not worth the trip? Not once did they ever mention anything about bed number, visiting... sigh... humanities studies is not a subject everyone can do...

well, hope that this recovery can be a quick one. The stitches were taken off on wed (21/6) except for the ear's... but there seems to be still some swelling :/

any change? hmm, why dun u all be the judges??

Who's in the Wrong?

2006-06-24T02:09:00.000+08:00

People who know me on MSN should know that i always play the "guessing game" when i add u. It's just me what.

Who knows i just met someone so hostile, only giving me one minute to "redeem myself" & i was talking to someone else at the time! so hardly came back to say a line & there he goes, "5", "4", "3", "2", "1". "Bye ur blocked".

*&^$*%^
i was already typing when he started countin down lor. wth.
& i tot i would be friendly to finally add him on msn. (not many people know my msn add right from e start) okay, since he 不领情.

so who is in the wrong?
the ever-fun-loving me?
the so-seriously-hostile him?

The Outing

2006-06-12T11:46:00.000+08:00

Written after ONE HOUR of waiting:

Oh god. I was naive enough to be looking forward to an outing with people who dun gif a damn about their friend (at least selected one)
To think i thought I was smart for Mr Goh's wedding where I knew it's safest to go with someone else, someone mature & caring & thoughtful enough. Not someone who always changes her mind at the very last moment, easily shaken, selfish.

This gang? Gosh. Im going for another operation this thursday!
So i thought I wanna meet up before my op & before someone starts school again. Hey. I didnt even thought so much with some other even dearer & better group! Why am I so stupid to bother with you all? With 2 not bothering to reply my sms-es, 1 asked about "why go for another op?!", 1 is "fine with anything" until the final decision is about to finalise, 1 just cannot be on time.
I sorta regret accompanying you such that i forgo my chance to watch X-Men2 on 5.

Goodness.
Can i just not be so kind with all my friends?
I gave up hopes on her (after many many disappointments), why cant i do the same with them?
I need my self-protection!

Maybe when you feel bad about being late
Maybe if you realised your friends are also part of your world (not just some other long-tailed animal)
Maybe I should feel guilty of only meeting you
i wun be SO MAD.

Time of arrival: ONE HOUR & TWENTY MINUTES after mine.

Last Day~ Last Day Last Day~~~

2006-06-09T22:59:00.000+08:00

Okay. It's final. the guang zhou people has said it...
hmm, tt was wad maxime had told me the other time when she told my departure was finalised. it was. sort of. then this time it was realli realli finalised. im gone! from StanChart Factoring Ops~

Wanted to go work early to plan surprises. But alas, 天不作美, it rained HEAVILY that in e end, i went to work late, still quite early, but e 2 early birds (joycelyn & siew theng) were already there!! sigh. so mission postponed. then got sms from jean sayin she got stuck. Just when i was calling her, she popped out. hAhAz. so she decided to run across e road, before i could react.

the last few weeks have been kinda stressful. With Maxime on MC, & Chew Lian leaving earlier than plan (she was supposed to leave with me), & new-comers coming in (Chris & Jean), old duties stuck on, while new ones kept on adding, in addition was the teaching. Quite stressed a point of time, that i even sms-ed maxime, cos i reali missed her soo soo much!

Luckily Chris & Jean were willing to learn. nvm their attitude (i mean, they are nice... but they seem to learn the trick of eating snake pretty quick oso ;P) but at least they are willing to learn & do their jobs! yeah! phew~ one heavy stone off my chest before i leave...

So the day went off pretty normal lor... until i went around giving my departure gifts => hersley's chocs. it was only then e opposite dept knew it was my last day. (yes, i gave them too!) Sok Cheng was so cute lah.. she was like, "你这样省钱，你会买hersley ar?" wah liao... i thrifty, not giam siap mah! lolx. but michelle, sylvia & Maxime werent around, so i put theirs on their tables. Except for Maxime's. Cos i got special stuff for her & joanne de. Then i purposely hid Max's ones.. hahaha... *whoops* Maxime is not supposed to read this de leh... at least not yet.. not until she found e buried treasures =p ... hopefully she didnt??

Then came their surprise for me!
It was really a surprise lor... cos it was the bag i commented nice & had thought of buying it!! Maxime remembered lor! But e card also gave away that they had planned for me to leave very much early.... hAhAz... yep. u might have guessed from the 1st para. Max & Joanne went to get my present when they thought i was leaving, on 5th of may. But then i got extended so Max kept until she knew she has to go operation, then ask Joanne keep. Haha... So prepared lor, they all...

Ar... my 4mths there had really been STRESSFUL, but nonetheless enriching (:
sure there were times of tiredness, times when i felt mistreated, unfairness, injustice or purely fed up,
but there were also many candid times, unforgettable moments, and lasting quotes!
argh. i regret not making a copy of what i gave to Jo & Max~ what if i forget???

hmm, lemme try to recall...
*ALPAC ar?
this is standard chartered calling from _________
ni zhe yang li hai ni lai zhou lah!

Bye Michelle, Sok Cheng, Sylvia, Grace, Siew Theng, Joycelyn, Joanne, Maxime, Chris & Jean!
Till we meet again! *hopefully in dec =p*

Bye Disneyland~
-Mickey Mao no more-

Church Weddings

2006-06-04T17:15:00.000+08:00

Grace's Wedding

Was pleasantly surprised when Grace handed me an invitation. It was my first time a wedding invitation was addressed to me & me alone! =) haha... cos the previous times are always relatives mah.. so naturally they were addressed to my parents. Anw was reali kinda excited, but on the other hand troubled. cos i dun have anything to wear! Cos most of my clothes have become my working office wear already & i dun wanna wear those to attend my officer's wedding. So those few days when i went out shopping, it was always with a purpose - to find something to wear to Grace's wedding. 皇天不负苦心人 i finally got a dress/coat/i-dunno-how-to-call-it! that i've always wanted to get!! =) Lusi said the previous time when i saw that kinda clothes, it was also in the exact same shop at bugis village where i bought mine. Haha...

okay, to the wedding. Hmm, we bought a electric cooker & bedsheets for Grace. Guess who brought it home from the office? (They bought it at **** @ tm =p) Guess who brought it to the church @ Sengkang from the house @ aljunied?? U've guessed it! Yours Truly ME lah! Wah, so heavy. But still quite managable lah. Even met Yu Cheng (Pri Sch classmate) at the bus stop, taking same bus summore! Thou he's going Hougang (dropped off earlier than me =S) to his friend's or girlfriend's (didnt reali catch it. shall ask him if got e chance again ;D) house.

Oops. got diverged again =x
The wedding was nice. Met up with Sok Cheng, Siew Theng & Agnes (Plaza by the Park, faxed IFID0018 to her every fri! =D ) at Sengkang Int. Sylvia came to meet us at the church.
Firstly the reception. Signed on the book & flipped through their album. So nice! Especially like Grace when she dolled up in the traditional chinese customes with that two adorable pigtails!! =D so kawaii!!!
Then there was the doorgift. So elegant! It was actually only 2 honeysticks bundled together. But there was some flowers (white & yellow. Yellow's the bride's fav colour so alot of deco eg balloons were yellow) tied to them. So 2 simple honeystix were upgraded. Heard that Grace & her sis did all the doorgifts by themselves. **A round of applause** Li Hai! Pei Fu! no wonder the emcee said the thing she likes to do most is 'use her hands' NOT 'scratching' like what her hubby said. LOL
The ceremony was kinda solemn though there was a band singing songs. Ooh, i especially like the table with 3 candles. Many might not have made the connection, but that's what i think:
the 2 smaller candles were initially lit by the moms of the bride & groom.
Then the couple lit the third, middle, tallest candle using the 2 smaller ones.
I would suppose the 2 smaller ones represent them, & by asking the moms to light it was to represent their lives are given by their parents.
The 3rd was lit by them to symbolise the marriage. The couple lit it together represent the start of them being together.
SO SWEET right? of cos the motive could have being otherwise, after all, the above mentioned are purely my own thinking ;) too much literature in secondary school lah... pai seh pai seh
And of cos the usual exchange of vows, thanking their moms (with bouquets of flowers) & photo-takings. There was also a slideshow by Grace's brother, showing photos of the couple right from the start. Then we all realised the stage where the groom started to grow horizontally. *whoops*
Finally REFRESHMENT time. lol. the food was great! v nice! love pandan chicken!! Peter (our level head. They seems surprised that he was there, given his status) & his wife were initially at our table. But as we left for food, our seats were taken =( luckily we managed to squeeze back a bit of space enough for us ladies =) & before we start, i realise the Q was v long, so i decided to go for the dessert 1st =p Orh Ni~ OOH.. i love orh ni (芋泥 yam paste lah ;p) but in e end, i still went to get the food with the rest & settle for the main course 1st. Hee hee.. by the time Sok Cheng & Sylvia wanted to get the orh ni, it was ALL GONE, ALL 3 TABLES. wahahaha... then they praised me for being smart ;) (okay okay... i exaggerated about that. They didnt praise me. Just commented lah)
Then it was going off time. Felt a bit weird leh... Like not much mood by the time we left. Maybe tt's e difference with hotel dinner & such reception. The feeling of everyone leaving together & the couple standing by the exit to receive well wishes seem more emotional...

Nonetheless, thanks Grace! =) all the best

Mr Goh's Wedding

Was supposed to go as a class. Since the invitation (note: only one was sent) was sent in representation of the class. But ay, s02 ppl always last minute dun wanna go. Hmm, correction, dun wanna put blame on the innocents. Some people always last minute dun wan go. Lucky i was smart (not to trust her too much, after oh-too-many-times-of-disappointment) & has a network of friends. So in e end, meet up with s03 people instead.
Funny lor. How i always seem to be able to click with s03 ppl. NJ muz have put me in e wrong class!!

Anw the wedding was a lighter tone than Grace's. the pastor (is that what u called him??) was very humorous! & much more grand (in terms of space & well-wishers) Worhz. Mr Goh invited soooo many ppl! Alot of NJCians & teachers also... then e usual, song-singing, band & photo-taking (thou cos this time round, it wasnt catagorised as neatly as Grace's)....
oh! there was this slide made from photos in their album. It started with Mr Goh running. haha.. his expression was kinda funny. Dunno he is enjoying too much or wad... hee hee...
then there was also a song by Mrs Goh's friends. Kinda sweet they composed a song just for her. There was slideshow along with it.
But the refreshment time. At last i saw the doorgifts. Standard cakes in boxes. Wanted to take when im going home. But this time, it seems i wasnt very smart. by the time i was going off, the cakes were all gone ): And then there wasnt enough seats. Hmm, about 300++ ppl? & there were 5 tables (labelled "for friends & relatives") & about 20 odds chairs without table at the other corner. Okay, so in e end, we settled for standing to eat our food. Oh. I like the potato-wrapped prawns! So nice! =) (the caterer was recently featured in U-wkly. then i showed mom e prawns. hopefully she'l make it someday. *hopefully* *cross fingers* *pray hard*)
So in e end, i went off to novena square (1st time there!) with s03 ppl (Michelle, May, Mei Ting, Yan Ying). Shopped ard a bit, went to "Toys R Us" LOL went to foodcourt where Yan Ying had his fill while e rest of us watched him eat (HAHA) & chatted. Wanted to go Ben & Jerry store after that. But it was occupied! by people we've met earlier on. So we juz stone around a bit. Got to talk to Yan Ying. Nv knew this guy existed until that day. lolx. but found him qt a nice person. Goodness. He was in s02 for O2 leh! whereas tyq was in s03. he was commenting that he didnt c me during orientation. of cos! i was back in s14 =p *shhh* goodness. if only things could remain that way lor. he seems a much nicer person than the other exchange. sigh. too bad. anyway, his sis also in ntu material eng! so cool! nxt time need ath, ask michelle ask him ask his sis. wor~ wad a long link! haha

oh, aft tt, when e rest *finally* decided to go Coffee Beans, me & michelle decided to go home. Not reali lah, we went to get dinner. Couldnt find e reali nice foodcourt Michelle recommended (under renovation. turned out it moved to e foodcourt we've juz gone to) so went to toa payoh kou fu instead.

All in all, quite a nice outing with Michelle. :)
OH! & i got e xin niang 18 sui! yeah!
thanks michelle!! =)

Whenever they say 3 people in church wedding, my 1st thought would always be a kid. But no, to them, the 3rd person is always God. Hmm...

the right click

2006-05-27T23:10:00.000+08:00

well, i dunno if it's the choice, but i've already accepted ntu material engineering. I hope i gonna have a nice time over there..

people going ntu, let's meet on campus sometime! for lunch, tea, snack, wadever~ =)

funny thing is that, all the way until April 2006, even until i got my As results, i had thought i would be going to NUS (maybe env eng, but def one of the eng courses). Guess NTU ME tea session was too successful :P managed to pull me over. i mean, nus was such a more convenient choice (not to mention, some say more prestigous)
and yet i've decided to go to somewhere far far away.
oh, i should add, i haven even gone to ntu before!!
hAhAz, let's c how i shall get dere on my 1st day...

into the unkown *hopefully exciting & interesting* future, here i come~
onto the fri-weekly-lunch, here i come too~~
upon the track, here i come *whenever i feel too fat =p*

decided to leave U and take ME instead

叶串之声 2006

2006-05-26T23:57:00.000+08:00

Haha.. din make it to Council Elects Camp (no one could go on e day i could =[ ) but i made it to CLDDS Ye Chuan!! =) was actually vvery very sick the day before. Had to leave after i finished my reports & letters. buay ta han ar!! nxt day, cunning mommy even refused to wake me up & let me overslept!! omg. then i quickly sms sylvia to say im sorry & i'll b late... gave me such a fright! to think i trust mommy so much.... lolx

anw back to ye chuan. "Rushed" back to NJ after work. Well,, didnt reali rush lah... was off at 5.30pm & e show doesnt start til 7.30pm... so ample time ;)
Was expecting to see Wendy & ppl lah.. but in e end, Colina & Rui Jun didnt make it. hai. but nvm. E rest of the st nich gals came, along with some of the PRC scholars & also Shi Lei & Huang Peng. So nice to meet everyone again! E mac supper/dinner (since many of us havent had dinner in e 1st place) was great! too bad i was too sick to be real active =x bad timing!

Back to the show.
I was
I-M-P-R-E-S-S-E-D
reali.
okay, i was really bad before i went. I didnt carry much hope for the current/nxt batch of juniors. Esp with CCA not counted anymore, i was realli afraid many join not just to slack, but also run Exco for the sake of fame. (Of cos there are a few who didnt join CL for the mentioned reasons. I do feel passion from some of my juniors (: )
On top of these, in the end, we still didnt make it out ): HOD said that we could move out of the school if we did it well last year. Last year, it wasnt even successful. It was EXCELLENT, OUTSTANDING, for the 1st time ever, lack of seats such that we have to borrow chairs from neighbouring classrooms! But alas, the promise wasnt kept. Slight disappointment there.

But im not done yet. At least the stage was moved from LT1 to LT5, not only much much bigger (then i began to worry abt e projection of voice. still couldnt forget how haobo demostrated the powerful whisper) LT5 was also officially transformed into a performing theatre. So everything there was brilliant! Damn cool~ Lightings, effects, especially the vapour-maker (thou i think tt was rented) Elton was also real quick-thinking when the projector didnt work at the end of one production. If not for Huang Peng, i reali would have thought it was pre-arranged! Foolish me =S

All in all, the stories were okay. To speak the truth, didnt move me very much. But the whole effect was nice. Though repeatative.
But the actors & actresses were great! :)
Nuan Ting as the auntie (again!), Xiu Qian as the 'self-indulged beautiful but otherwise in reality', Si Yuan as Ai Shen (cheeros for the sacrifice ;p not only did his costumes sort of got ruined, he also zao gen. lolx), Elton as the 'disgustingly sexy' mommy, AND of cos e ultra funny, ultra cute ang moh as the di di who peed in his pants. HAHA...

How i wish enjoyable times wont end.
But if they dont disappear, would we realise that they were present before?
goodness. this sounds weird in english eh?

yikes.

2006-05-13T00:16:00.000+08:00

i HATE people who treat others as non-existant.
oh, okayyy, congrats on being in-love... BUT hello *frantic wave*, there are lot of other people existing & located at the same place, at the same time??
i was on this bus after work when a couple came on. The bus was rather crowded so i had no seat. Then this idiotic couple went to stand in front of me (we were at the standing area).
Not enough.
The guy went to push the air-con so it was directly blowing at him. To h*ll with him!! The bus was damn stuffy already & with them kissing, hugging, wadever-they-were-doing (pui!), they were already blocking the cool air upon my face. Still dare to turn away the only sign of moving air?! wad the hell lah!
so i got reali hot & pissed off & tired from work, i was scratching my hair, hoping my long-neglected hair (not really lah =p) would spread some germs & irritate them. well, it didnt work out. What was more annoying was when i moved slightly over (someone else alighted), the stupid couple took over my place. AND they showed signs of suffocation so the guy turned the air-con to themselves. again. Wow. they understood wad i felt huh? Thought they were only involved in their own little world. wad the hell man?!>@!$#
selfish people! careful of karma!
*i hope i wun get any by cursing them....*

i HATE people who think highly, or rather, TOO highly, of themselves.
There are things you are not very sure. Wad do u do? ASK for HELP. isnt it? Nope. Some people just do it the way they think it is correct. It wouldn't hurt asking right? If you dun like asking the juniors, there's always the seniors.
And it always seems intolerable that others make a mistake. But when they make one, it's alright. nothing's wrong. no big deal. okaayy... like u're e boss...

i HATE people who curse. Especially in front & AT ME!!!
*ROAR*
if i had done smth that irritates you, okay, i accept fate.
But most of the time, what have i done??
a simple comment, a joking guesture could provoke such violent reaction.
perhaps you take it as normal slogan. but i cannot stand it!
& that .w.o.r.d. too...
y cant u understand?
i thought u would.
of all people.

Last Week.

2006-05-02T23:08:00.000+08:00

at first when approaching end of april, i thought i was going to be the first of my friends to be outta job. Was deciding how to spend my May & 1st half of June before my nose operation cos i thought my 3-month job assignment gonna end in end of april.

Then came a slightly good news nearing the end of april. My manager said "since you came in on 6th Feb, you shall leave on 5th May" (just nice it was a friday. end of week.) Although it is a 2-sided news. The good side of it being having extra money (i think office job r easier money, nxt to tuition that is.) However the bad side being not able to work a full month for my next job (if i could get one) i.e. i'd probably gotta find a service industry cust. svc. job & equally likely to have to lie about my availability. So was having a slightly hard time trying to decide what to do, what job to look for, full-time or part-time.

Then came an even better news today! =)
My manager asked me when does uni start. She was allowing me to stay til then!!
But too bad i got another op in mid-june (yes. exactly 15th june =p)
[one of my friends asked, "another op?? for what?!" Because, one side of my nose is actually collasped. That's why.]
So yea, gonna stay til 9th June. That is the confirmed date le. (unless my op postponed?? lol)

haix.
im tHaT $$-minded. cannot meh?
althou im alr grateful for the prolonged opportunity given, i feel injustice to what i get.
My lost is snowballed as i stay on. Is this fair?

HELP. n_ _. where should i put u?

2006-04-28T22:40:00.000+08:00

They always say "dream come true"
It seems like it's not always just as good that dreams always come true & you get what you wanted.

n 1 2
1. Environment Engineering - No idea about the course. Think it's about the waste, water treatment. bleah. all those env-related stuff bah.
No tea. No booklet. One lousy printed-on-normal-cheapo-coloured-A4-paper brouchure.
Seems to have quite a few china professors/lecturers.
Would be able to work in NEA, PUB, mabye hyflux? govt env-related sectors?
Apparently (from some forum) it is a course where many chem-eng rejects are 'dumped' to. (oops. sorry to sound mean. Ay, didnt noe chem eng THAT HARD to get in. Shld haf tried placing it as 1st instead of 2nd then.)

2. Material Engineering - Gotta do about bio-smth smth (those artificial body parts), nanotechnology (kinda hot now, but im not realli interested *yet*), rare earth (sounds reali cool!), semiconductors.
2 tea sessions. One nicely wrapped booklet, sent BY HAND. (& e guy who delivered pronounced my chinese name, perfectly right summore! *according to my mom)
Quite alot foreign professors/Lecturers. & lots visiting prof *according to the dean
Would be able to work in ??? (not v v sure. but got attachment wad. THIS i am sure of)

For those who dunno, the above are both my 1st choice.
Why different course in different uni?
Cos i wanted something more physics from one & something more chemistry from the other.
So now in dilemma lor =x
In O's, Chemistry always didnt give me trouble. (but then neither did physics)
In A's, Physics always didnt give me trouble. (But this time round, chemistry did lots damage. Which made me lose faith in it already....)

On top of that, option 2 also offer me bursary. Not much. But better than nothing rite? Much better than some lousy links & non-existant announcement that made me missed the other bursary application.
I feel that option 1 on focus on medicine & Law students. Correct me if im wrong, after all it's only my POV. But i seriously dun feel the warmth & sincerity i felt at option 2.

hee. i pruposely dun include any actual name. Most of y'all shld noe what's 1 & 2 rite? =>
anw. Think i just posted a super-biased entry.
im now 88% towards accepting NTU Material Engineering!

Trade Services Bowling Tournament

2006-04-22T20:52:00.000+08:00

okay.. regular "visitors" (i wouldnt call them readers cos there werent much to read these days) would know this isnt posted on tt day itself. Well, tt's my (bad? gd?) habit. To save as draft 1st. hAhAz.. anw, this post is gonna be abt e bowling tornament.

Dun envy me. (not yet) But i just attended another of the company's event ;)
organised by trade services (ie level 3)
well, by the title of this post, you would know what event isit rite? So the idea was every department send a team of four to take part. Our dept, apparently "volunteered" the 4 youngest (In descending order: joanne, maxime, chew lian, ME! =p i hope none of them read this.. wahaha...) We named ourselves "M&Ms". Mainly cos of me. (im aka Mickey Mao *due to not wanting to be concern of any issue regarding copyrights =P) Initially I tot of wearing the disney characters we are, but somehow it ended up as everyone wearing mickey! =) *didnt noe im so popular.. LOL*

anw. we didnt win. expected wad. maybe except some people? Way way before that, i've already told them i cant bowl. They ought to be glad i didnt suffer too much logang balls. Except for the 1st 7 throws. :P well, my bowling has always been like that. The 1st tries i'd be really really bad, den i'd improve.. i even managed to get a STRIKE! (: okay, only one. But im satisfied with my performance le.
oh, muz say THANKS ALOT to grace (hoo?? *hAhA, inside joke ;p ) She gave really helpful comments/advice. Mistakes that i din reali realise i was making. Now i noe why my balls always rolled sing-eh le! yippie! =D

seriously. I doubt our team was targettin any prize. Except the lucky draw maybe? I din noe there's gonna be one. Got excited esp when joanne say it's $20 takashimaya voucher (: then was prayin hard... AND IT WORKED! =) was called at the 4th? (there was 10 i tink) turned out to be NTUC's. But even better rite? at lst it's necessities' shopping. our dept got michelle & joycelyn who got it too! Joycelyn even got the $50 one (3 only i tink) So lucky! but im already more than happy with my $20 extra =)

anw. it was just a game rite? The purpose of this event was prolly about bonding, not so much about winning. We were facing strong opponents (like andrew. Man, there was professional handicap & Positioning handicap. Even AFTER those deductions, he was still FIRST amongst all players lor!) So the chance of winning? 0.000001%?? or even maybe even less. So why bother? The point should be enjoyment, not achievement. Btw, i got lowest according to actual score. But since they give deductions to pro, they also give bonus to old teeth (lao-ya players :P) So after the add-ups (minus-downs for andrew), i wasnt the bottom! okay, i was still at the bottom, but not bottom bottom. all wells. u noe wad i mean ;) hee..

-no nid so serious-

Family Outing... with er ma!

2006-04-14T23:34:00.000+08:00

Oh yeah! It's good friday!! (: not only i dun haf to work, but cos it's fri, i only earn less 7hours. LOL. (im money-face mah :p)

It's been a loooong time since our family has been out, together, as one. The feeling is nothing very very special but still, it's really been a loong while. On top of that, I finally get to meet my 2nd mother. It's been 3 weeks since my dad first brought her home. But so far, I havent got the chance to truly get to know her. Only manage a glispe from afar. No touch. No contact.

Finally. The chance to interact with her came! After the rest of the family & some of dad's friends have already gotten a smell of her. Humphs! How can dad fetch everyone else, even including his friends, in our new car AND LEAVE ME OUT!?!?!!! >.<

Haha. GOT tricked again?? :P guess writing mysteriously have recently become my style... hee... anw, in case u didnt get it, my dad had sneakily bought an off-peak (ie red-plated) car. He hid it so well that none of us, even my mom, didnt know. Except his zhu peng hao you lor... hAhAz.. So now, he's even pestering me more to go learn how to drive! ay.....

Ms BB

2006-04-09T22:53:00.000+08:00

ay, got the date wrong. Thought the Charity Show was today... But in the end, I got nothing to watch =x

so no choice tuned in to watch MSU 2006. hA, the person i noe didnt manage to get in to the finals. Too bad eh? cos i tink it'l b kinda cool if i noe one of the finalists. :P thou we arent exactly friends.

Oh well. Just wanna add a comment. Which shall explain my title.
Ms Body Beautiful = Ms B.B.?
Ms B.B. = Ms Big Boobs??
hAhAz... well, it's juz a personal comment! =D

anther dear friend gone.

2006-04-08T22:23:00.000+08:00

Heh. I've heard about the story of Cry Wolf. Think many people also know. So yall ought not to fall into the same trap as shuhui did for my previous entry. heh heh...

so i tink i better come straight to the point. This time round, the dear dear dearest friend of mine is Miss OT. So sad lor... I was claiming less and lesser ot... til this wk, Sylvia came to me & said, "we have discussed alr. There is no need for you to do OT. We will not ask you to stay, even if the rest of us need to. So next time, you can just leave at 6.30pm. You dont even need to tell us."

:/

lousy rule.
Not as if i was still claiming lots ot after they have warned me.
Not as if I purposely come late for work (in fact, i was usually 10-15min early & start work immediately upon arrival)
Not as if I purposely dont do my work well & then claim that I could not finish it. (After all, my 'official' duty would end by lunch. Anything after that is 'assisting' Maxime/Chew Lian/Joanne, or whoever need help, or warehousing)
Not as if I am not serious with my work, not as if I have attitude problem.
Haiz...

Anw, talking about warehousing. Yeah! I like warehousing. Cos it allows me to be rough! heh heh... e real me...
But was qt pissed on fri arh! Dunno which idiot filed e Jan's Factors Payment... Parf Financing & other types are meant to be separated lor! So obvious lor! Got separators summore... Just because e officers stapled them together doesnt mean you can leave it in like that lor...
%$%$#@
What's so troublesome of taking it out & stapling it again?
I do that kaez!

Phew~ 虚惊一场

:S a scary thing happened today.
I thought I made yet another major mistake (by losing the stamp)
Luckily in the end, it turned out to be a misplace by somebody else.
I was glad this time round i didnt try to jiao bian. (heh. reminds me of maxime) Just took all the blame/responsibilities onto myself 1st. For one, i really couldn't remember anything. So might as well 吃下这堆黄连1st.

anw i realised, when you made a mistake, it is better to get scolded rather than having people forgiving you without you having to do something to recover it.
i felt really really bad when siew theng was like, "nvm. just ask grace to tell them make another one". Although i couldnt remember whether isit my fault, I still took it upon me that I have some (most?) responsibilities to the whole incident. So I think i'd rather have them talking some sense into me...
But really touched by their large hearts! =)

But anw, HUGE RELIEF! In the end, it wasnt exactly entirely my fault at all!! & the whole thing was resolved. THANK GOODNESS!
If not, i tink i would have felt bad the whole day. Didnt even have the mood to fool around. (of cos lah. aft makin mistake, still dare to play a fool??)

alas, i know why. cos it's april already :)
yAy! march has ended!! finally!

值得吗？

几年前，我就知道付出不一定每一次都会等于回报。但为什么，我总是还是肯付出，又付出，一再又一再地付出？
大家的时间其实都是一样的多，为什么似乎别人的他们都花在自己身上，我的却得和他人分享？
是我太好心？还是我太笨？呃，好心的人，是不会自认好心的。又或者，我真的是苯的。
有时真的好想好想自私一下下。为什么就是办不到？

朋友没有义务帮忙，但会帮忙的就一定是朋友

朋友得到幸福快乐，你会献上真心祝福还是会刻意破坏？？

Goodbye, My Friend.

I am so sad today. A dear friend who has been with me for the past 2 months has gone.
Gone were the bright smile that greets me every morning,
Gone were the warmth produced each time I was near.

But alas, it was time to retire. And let the new one take over.
Maybe it was better to take a break.
Maybe we would benefit from the new comer.
Instead of being able to bully, we must actually show extra care & sayang!

Well, let's hope this new COPIER performs ;)
*who did u think my best buddy was?? hAhAz... it's just the old photocopier which is placed behind my place, a must-have when I sort reports & letters!

just writin something

2006-03-27T21:26:00.000+08:00

i figure that if i dun start updating something soon, perhaps no1 would bother come look anymore.. hAhAz...

but basically, march had been a bad month. it started on 1st with lousy results then lousy working life...
but perhaps due to my stubborness (*ahem* determination sounds better =p) i refuse to give up!
things had become better nowadays... not yet the best and mistakes still occur, but i shall be grateful already...

oh yeah, time to make ppl jealous of my job! lolx.
Not only did i get to go for the SME Dinner at Holiday Inn, i got to meet the outgoing AND incoming CEO of Stan Chart. Also, I got a kbox session under dept funds & attended the AGM at Furama Hotel.
Oh, but the agm was totally disappointing. First of all, the hotel wasnt impressing. Then there were people SMOKING in the hotel, just outside the ballroom!! wadthehell lah! Damn smelly lor! so inconsiderate, these people. I hope they do die young (oops! am i being too mean??) *after all, i got this info from the boy who watch SCV ya noe.. that every cigarette reduce ur life by 15min =p*
but e food was not that bad lah. I like the fried prawn!
Oh, then there was chewy durian who took part in the singing competition!! =)
She sang Faye's "Eyes on Me".. then our dept made posters for her & cheered her on. I even brought a whistle! ;-) okay lah, my intention was to win the "best supporters" mah... hahahaha...

but yea, basically, find myself quite lucky.. barely join the company, yet i already got to attend quite a few "impt" events liao.. oh yea, special thanks to joanne for lettin me go AGM in her place.. =D *shh... it's supposed to be a secret....*

oh wells. enough updates... hmm, time to think about what to apply for Uni liao... FIVE MORE DAYS!! else i would have to go uni nxt yr liao.. ee.. i dun wanna fight with the dragons!
