BUSY. Promise myself to study. Stop shopping so often. Stop eating so much.

busy

2007-07-10T19:01:00.000+08:00

I got so many things going on that I don't have time to touch the computer. I skip POM to come home to rest. Last week was totally hectic, had to sleep after 12 everyday, I hate sleeping late. Project deadlines are zooming in, got so much stuff to start doing. At this time, all the reports are starting to give everyone problem. Need to start flipping through my Com Skills book, I think my group might have got blacklisted for Com Skills, cause we got so much commotion during lessons. Aside from projects, school is fun, with the wonderful company of the clique. HEARTS! I like squeezing into the study room and taking lots of photos and during nonsenses. :) F&B is totally my favorite subject, F&B group is strong and Mr SIM is praising us. :D CP training is Pull ups and more pull ups :( I got into BSC too, going to camp at the end of the month.

060707 was Brenda's birthday, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BRENDA. Went out with the group to celebrate, nice to see everyone and even a surprise find "XINGXING"! Oh my, I screamed at the sight of her. Miss that women cause it has been ages since I last saw her. Took lots of photos! Memories are to be kept! Had a blast that night, I even skip CSC but I promise to go for the rest of the events, I just wish they will start organising. I can't wait to do community service! LOVE THE GROUP for all the company, it has been years since we knew each other. The friendship has survived so much. Seriously FRIENDS FOREVER. HEART!

NONSENSE AT THE STUDY ROOM WITH CLIQUE.

DINNER @NYDC WITH BEST OF FRIENDS :D

XINGXING is still blur and not too good with photos.

WORK

2007-06-29T01:30:00.000+08:00

Work is driving MAD with fumes coming out of my ears.

full of stuff

2007-06-27T23:23:00.000+08:00

I got so much things going on.
I am sad yet happy.
I am stressed yet at peace.
I am happy with results so far.
I am happy with school.
I am happy with the company. I love them :))

Family matters are saddening.
I hope for the best.
I promise I will love dad even more now.

I am going to be more focus.

Botak Jones

2007-06-22T18:14:00.000+08:00

Tried Botak Jones twice. I had to wait 30mins for it the 1st time! First attempt was FISH & CHIPS, the servings are so big, but the food was not really spectacular as described by many. The fish lack of much taste. The saving grace would be the sauce. The TARTAR sauce was unlike anything else I have tasted before. It was thick and full of flavours and the texture was enhance with bits of some pickle look alike. The sauce added flavours to the items in the dish from the fish to the fries.

Second attempt was much better. I was smart enough to call and order therefore by the time I got there, my food was ready for me. No more waiting. The hot and not soggy taste was wonderful for the fries. The spicy fries were nice, the spicy powder was not too hot but some how the taste was special, it is even nicer than the Carl's Junior. {And the spiciness is giving my weak stomach of mine a hard time.} The Cajun Chicken was tender and full of flavour. It was juicy too. But as it was a take away order, by the time I started eating, the cheese had already become hard and thus took away the flavour of the spicy sauce with cheese. But the flavour of the sauce in the chicken was still evident. It was a lot better than fish and chips, I suggest they change the ranking.

The menu for the restaurant is so funny. {They claim to offer restaurant quality} It doesn't really look like a menu. More like a proposal without a file. It has 14 pages printed on bright yellow paper stapled together. The descriptions are written in Singlish to the best of the creator's ability. The fronts are funky too. The weird thing about the menu is the snippet of quotes from some not really know people {to me}. Here are the quotes...

"You can tell a man is clever by his answer.
You can tell a man is wise by his questions." - Naguib Mahfouz

"A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man." !

"It's hard to make a comeback
When you haven't been anywhere"
-Written on the back of a dusty bus in Wickenburg Arizona

The rest of the quotes shall not be put up due to some reasons or another.

bored day

2007-06-22T13:40:00.000+08:00

Just as I was about to get out. The rain just poured.

holidays

2007-06-15T21:20:00.000+08:00

The holidays are so short. Only 9 days left. I got so much assignments to do but I am getting lazy to do the research. If you think PW is a torture, than I am getting tortured in every way cause I got project work for every subject. But no complaints, that is how the working environment is going to be. I manage to have some head start in Comm Skills, met up for a meeting. I am so lucky that my group members are willing to travel all the way to BISHAN. I feel like my school is just a few stops away, so far all the meetings and outing have been around my area. GOT TO THANK MY CLASSMATES :) But tomorrow is training. I am dreading to go to school. It is so farrr. The morning journey sucks. BOO to sardine packed buses that makes me wake ever so early. Cause they are so sardine packed that they refuse to let me on. :( BOOOO to TP for being so farrr.

Sunny Day

2007-06-14T22:50:00.000+08:00

I had a SUNNY, LOVELY, FUN WEEK! I am so happy. :) thanks everyone for the company at Sentosa.
Canoe-polo outing was good, Group outing was fun. yays. It made my days. Thanks GIRLS! XD
I look forward to more fun times with you girls ^^

Ocean

2007-06-12T14:04:00.001+08:00

I forgot to add, I watch OCEAN 13! It was nice, but not really super nice compared to the last two shows.

summary

2007-06-12T13:47:00.000+08:00

I got lots of stuff happening after the exams ended. And the exams ended on a bad note. I am so disappointed with myself for the F&B paper. :( After the paper, went to MindsCafe for board games, had a great time. Ended the day at CHOMP CHOMP! :D Love that place. Stingray was SUPERRR NICE! It was a wonderful day. Thanks for the company, Esther, Cheryl, al-lene, don and jianwei. :)Yesterday was Zoo, with Michelle and Peiyun, had a great time too. :) So many photos. Got to get from them. After that rush down for canoe-polo, I was late, I missed running. Gym training is making my muscles ache. Saturday is reservoir training. Looking forward to it. Went out for dinner with canoe-polo people, it was fun. But I reach home at 12am. That's the problem with living so farr.

RHT

2007-06-06T15:11:00.000+08:00

I seriously didn't have much idea of what I was writing in my answers today. So lost with the paper. All the examples, I got so much stories to tell in the paper. But at least I knew what the question basic things were are asking for. I got a big problem phrasing my answers though. I just hope to do well.

After the test rush home cause I just couldn't open my eyes any longer. I had to sleep. Detoured at Novena, I was wondering what to get for breakfast, I end up with Cedele salad and a yet to eat BLUEBERRY & APPLE CRUMBLE. haha. I think I just can't forget the Apple Crumble. And I saw one shop selling the same one as my favourite, and the thing is it is much cheaper! I shall try it to see if it really the same thing.

F&B is next. F&B is my favourite subject in school cause I find our Chef teacher so cool. I like all the additional introduction to super nice food that he talks about every lesson. I am going to make sure I try all the good stuff. Got lots of things about food to memorise, not much a problem cause it will be very useful in my life. :)

Last paper, good Luck to everyone.

POM

2007-06-05T12:05:00.000+08:00

Down with POM today. Lots of uncertainty but I think I should be doing good. To think I studied until so late, only the first 2 chapters came out. ARHH.

Yesterday was mugging session with MAMA. Went to MAC which is seriously not nice. Not that I am trying to be bad. But the MCAFE is not nice. I order Frappe, they use syrups so I am just drinking syrups. Far from the cafe standard, more like BubbleTea. Sweet and not much of flavour. Ate double cheese burger, so small just compare it to BK's and it looks like a single of BK. Disappointing every time I go there.

MAC aside, MAMA got a new haircut. It looks like the bowl fringe. I couldn't stop laughing at her, she said it was suppose to make her look sweeter. OMY, I think her school is stressing her out too much. Poor thing MAMA. We saw an old tuition classmate, we couldn't figure out his name, actually I don't think we know the name in the 1st place. I only seems to recognise faces and their names, no idea at all. Such failures. MAMA said he got nice eyes, I got no idea what she was talking about. Couldn't see what's nice, told her my brother got nicer eyes, which is true my little brother got nice eyes, he got longer eye lashes than mine. Than I asked her why she only notice the eyes only now. Isn't it funny? Every week in the same classroom, only now than she came to notice those eyes. I seriously got no idea. Nevertheless, mugging session was fun, MAMA was seriously cranky. Wrap up the session at 10 plus, she hurried home and even reminded me of her wonderful spread of food waiting at home. PRAWNS! I miss prawns, no one in my house the energy and time to cook such nice things. Sads.

Now I got to study RHT. The weird subject. I know I will not go into that field either. So far the NOT working there fields include: F&B sector, RHT sector, Travel agency. I shall explore all field before graduation and add things on the list.

Today's economics paper was quite a breeze. Happy with myself for being able to do good for ECONOMICS cause I LOVE ECONOMICS! :) Smiles for today. I am going to work hard for tomorrow's POM paper. I already loss out on the 5%. But I will catch up. I must live up to expectations. I know I can achieve.

cupcakes

2007-05-29T21:25:00.000+08:00

I have this super strong feeling of sinking my teeth into a cupcake. I WANT TO EAT CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES! Ever since I tasted the wonderful cupcakes from some store from the design school during CCN day, I have been longing for it. I just like the soft chocolaty taste. I have no idea where to buy cupcakes from, I wonder if the sugarloaf sells any. But it is so far away. I am going to get chocolate cookies tomorrow to satisfy the urge for chocolate in the mean time. But I want cupcake. Some kind soul I KNOW please bake some.

overstressed

2007-05-25T19:36:00.000+08:00

This is like a first. I got too woried about the simultanious tests today that I had to go to the doctor. Woke up with the worse headache in my history. Couldn't see properly, can't think and it just seems to keep thumping until now. Didn't manage to sleep last night the headache was there already. In the morning it got so bad that I had to go to the doctor. Got pills and came home to sleep. I feel so stupid that this actually happened to me.

tired out

2007-05-23T21:21:00.000+08:00

EXHAUSTED. Totally flat out this week, just with school, traveling is taking a toll on me. Oh my, reaching home so late, getting tired of it. Canoe polo is starting water training tomorrow. Excited!!! Now I got to go study. Mid sem test is on the way. I promise dad I will do well.

LIVING UP TO EXPECTATIONS are proving to be stressful.

CANOE-POLO

2007-05-19T19:10:00.001+08:00

Today I went down to watch my FIRST canoe-polo match. It was quite an exposure, learned a little about the game. The game is very intense, can get quite rough. The thing is you got to really think fast as the playing space is small and the canoe is already so big, every where there are people. The little ball is surrounded by so many people. Your arm got to be super strong cause you got to canoe, play ball with one hand, sometimes shoot far far away. But the playing time is short so it makes it more intense but not so bad when it comes to endurance.

Headed down to Clark quay to watch the match. There were canoeists everywhere. Everyone had nice tone bodies and so well tanned. Shall work towards the arm muscles part. I think my arm is so weak, got to TRAIN! But the crowd was not too big, which reflects the small canoe polo community. The 3 main schools were TP, NP and SP who were the organizers. TP team did well and WON NP. The guy team came down to support, they were shouting at the referee. The next match was bulldogs vs Fiasco. I supported Fiasco cause they look like they were nice people. My judgment was good, cause they won, they are good enough to beat their seniors. The guys match was more intense as they paddled faster and had power passes. After that was TP vs National Team. We lost but it was a good fight. Proud of team TP!

I am totally happy with the exposure today. To my dismay, I got sunburn while watching. My face is red again!!! I was still in the process of whitening from SENTOSA trip!

Blogging

2007-05-19T19:05:00.000+08:00

I have decided to blog as I realise there are people viewing the blog. I have to write something.

Let's start with school. School has been a few weeks now, still got the holiday mood in me. Running out of places to eat already. After which I got to start reading and study for mid-sem test, which I think I might flop if I don't start to read up. Taking 6 subjects this semester. A lot of stuff, I LOVE economics of course. Than there is POM and RHT which are just weird. F&B is both a good and bad thing. I love the fact that we are learning about FOOD! so happy about that. I can go fine dinning more often now. :) The food is good, every lesson we get exposed to all the wonderful dishes feasting to the eyes. But the assignments are soooo problematic. Research like 10 dishes every time. Every Thursday everyone sleeps after 12am. Than go to class with a sense of a little anxiety. And the things to memorise are super long. Just to classify a lamb need some many definitions! And I don't even eat lamb! But still food saves the day. I like the subject some how.

The thing about school is the wonderful class. I have people to build up my foodie habits. Every morning rushing down to cheers to eat Chicken Feuilleté. In between lecture and during lectures we either eat or take photos. I got a long list of them. Just imagine a few photos DAILY. But got to say they sure got skills lots of photos turn out nice. I get to smile everyday cause everyday is photo taking day. CHEESE!

days

2007-04-29T21:48:00.000+08:00

Life have pass on to a new stage. HTM is so fun. But looking at the reading list just made my jaw drop. GRASP! The homework is no longer just about looking at the notes. And the notes are so BLANK! arh. Lectures are still boring. I was practically talking or slacking all the time. Homework is piling up and I am still working. haha. Work is still quite fun. LOL. I was intending to load up the photos of activities but couldn't find any in this computer. So. next time.

TAKE CARE everyone.

YAWNS

2007-04-15T15:35:00.000+08:00

I just realise that tomorrow school will be starting for most of the polys which means that a lot of people from work will be gone. :( Will miss them especially the fun ones, so if the fun people are gone, than imagine what life at work will be like? My oh MY no one to play with :(

I seriously shouldn't have took leave at this time, miss all the fun. And stuck at home with nothing to do. These few days I was a part time nanny for my brother. Who has joined my tuition centre. I just miss those days at the centre. I miss so many things today. :\

It has been so long since I felt BORED. Not working today, supposedly I should be in camp now BUT I forgot to register so no camp for me :( Wanted to go out BUT the sky just open up and threaten to drench me if I even step out. Siting in front of the computer enduring my toothache. Had to eat porridge for breakfast. And it sucks :d Oh I am just so BORED...

back to worse

2007-04-10T22:20:00.000+08:00

Please don't send me to that terribly boring place!!! NO!!!!!!!

The scream obviously didn't help at all. I am back to that place again, with worse problem. Having serious communication problem with one of them. I don't understand what is going on at all! Just think about it, one moment talking to you like friends, next moment walk off as though I did something wrong. Leaving the conversation hanging... All I can do is stand there looking all CONFUSED/

sad stuff

2007-04-09T10:04:00.000+08:00

Terribly sad that next week I will not be working at my favourite place. :( To make things worse, they were so nice yesterday. We got Bravissimo ice cream from our neighbours. The whole tub. 3 flavours and each flavour can make 5 cups at the least. There was my favourtie STRAWBERRY, but of course without the frozen strawberry on top. There other two flavours,, chocolate and cookies and creams. I ate a lot of the ice cream, I know it is not surprising. We hid behind the coffee machince and had a good time. The day went quite slow, there was not really a crowd. At the end, I got a free Apple Crumble to take home. They are so nice, making me so sad that I am rotated back to the old place. But! at least I am rotated to the better place. Please don't send me to that terribly boring place!!! NO!!!!!!!

days

2007-04-08T14:09:00.000+08:00

New blogSKIN! Looking at the old blogskin just makes me bored. Yawns. New skin and some updates. I don't want this place to rot.

The days were actually filled with activities, there are so much more to come when school starts. I am LOOKING forward to it. Fun is coming my way!

Starting with NICE PEOPLE!
Yesterday after work, on the MRT I was surprised by an aunty's kindness. She actually offered her seat to me... Normally we were suppose to offer our seats so when she actually offered her seat to me, I was momentarily stunned, as a result some lady just took the seat. I lost the seat to the lady but I was happy to know the that there were such kind people around.

I also came to realise that Caucasians are actually very polite and nice. They say things like "Have a nice day ahead.", "thank you very much, (with a big smile)", "How's your day?". These phrases might mean nothing but while working on an empty stomach and greeting every single person in sight, when someone actually replies you and even bother to say all these things actually make you very happy. It sort of help return a smile to your face which have been covered with tiredness. :)

Speaking about work. I finally got rotated to another outlet. I am very happy with it! The crew is so nice, it is all so fun. The only problem is that everyone working with me is a guy standing at the least of 1.7m. Therefore, they were very "concern" that I might not be able to reach the counter, as such repeatedly offering me a stool. Of course, I was not that short, therefore I do NOT need a stool and reach the counter comfortably. But I guess it can be forgiven given that they actually help me with the workload a lot. The whole atmosphere is also fun and relax. There is one that actually talk a lot cause he said he is too bored. Together with the other two, they were entertaining me. Time passed so fast there unlike the other outlets. I hope I will get to stay THERE!!!

Now to the fun part. Went off to SENOTSA on Monday and last Thursday. The attraction for last Thursday was the SONG OF THE SEA. Got to watch the new show as I went with the guests, my dad was generous with his buddy and family. The song of the sea show was not like anything else. The laser, water spray and fire display was nice. But the fireworks at the end was
(can't find a word). The fireworks were so up close. My dad's buddy love the show. He was so excited with the whole performance. The whole effect lit the skyline. The show was worth the money.

Monday, was SENTOSA with the group. Set off late of course, when we reach there it was already noon. I saw lots of my friends working as the staff. The sun was murderous as I came to realise, the after effect was a lot worse. My face is as dark as black. It is starting to peel too. Had fun in the sun, played soccer and lost, volleyball nearly broke my hand. Yet we couldn't even do a continuous 10. Failure... After a day in the sun, we flee to the dim and comfortable atmosphere of Fish n CO wheelock place. I finally ate something else cause I am so scared of the fish and chip.

work

2007-03-23T18:15:00.000+08:00

Started work yesterday. The work load is quite light but very hectic. The hassle and buss is only concentrated during lunch hour. It was quite nice to feel the rush. I don't like it when I have nothing to do. Looking like a statue is not my style. I like it busy. So far I have not met with an accident, I am so proud of myself. :D The best package of the job is the wonderful food provided. Although I can't just grab anything to eat all the time. But the meal provided is very filling. The best part is getting feed with all the good food, having all the nice staff around. I have also pick up my eating speed. I can't believe it, it took me less than 30mins to finish the whole meal; sandwich and soup. I am going to try all the things in the menu. But since I had to do a taste test today, to learn more about the content of the menus. I have decided to skip some of the soups on the menu after the not so suitable taste is still lingering on my tongue. Maybe my next assignment is to taste test the rest of the menu. yums. The food there is so nutritious, I think I can finally put on weight.

Finally

2007-03-20T10:05:00.000+08:00

Finally they called me! Asking me to go down for an interview. I am so nervous. Why must they do that? What are they going to ask? Just don't test my jap on th spot, i can die if that happen. I will faint on the spot. It has been quite long since jap class, i really miss it. I hope i get in!!!

french

2007-03-11T13:42:00.000+08:00

. Take up french until (DELF B1)
. Finish up japanese until JLPT 1
. Start training

CHINGAY WAS SO FUN! I was part of it. :)

bad

2007-02-22T12:00:00.000+08:00

I know I am being bad by staying at home when I am not suppose to be. But I really figured that I shall just skip everything for today. I am such a slacker, couldn't persuade myself to go for track training. I just realise that I will miss Netball training on Friday due to CHINGAY. PE was fun, it was no mistake that I drag myself to school yesterday. Played badminton, very tiring, it is so much more tiring than softball. I like softball! Y Everyone else was sick of it so they choose badminton. Running about is so tiring, especially when I have been slacking away from exercise. The teacher still like to make us play merry-go-round, so it was even more tiring running around and changing partners. It was fun in some sense cause you get to play with different people. Some were good. When the boys gave up their court to us, I got to play full single match 3 times. It was exhausting. Concluding the lesson with sit up nearly killed me.

CHINGAY surprisingly is tomorrow and Saturday. When I read the reminder mail, it sort of shock me, I didn't realise it would be so soon. I guess I am always in dream land. Sleeping like the PIG for the past few days. Including today which resulted in me staying home. I told myself tomorrow I will go for jap, netball and school. Now I once again fail to make that promises come true. I wonder if sensei will send me warning letters. I don't know what my next move is, where am i going? CONFUSED! I know i am just trying to shut myself in, when will the door open?

I went to draw a house today, it is too ugly to be displayed. It is suppose to say somethings about my personality. Here is what it said,

Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. You are shy and reserved. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. Your life is always full of changes. You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You have a strong personality and you like to command, influence and control people. You added a flower into your drawing. The flower signifies that you long for love. It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt.
You are self-confident and happy with your life. "this line is not so true for now."

REGRETS

2007-02-18T13:56:00.001+08:00

why is my life full of regrets?
when will this awful circle end?
when will life start going straight, towards a good life?

why do i have to go through so much more
when can i enjoy the freedom of my mind from worries?

why do this to me, it is so unfair

i really wish i can don't care
i want to 7 my life,
back to the time when all seems well

2007-02-17T17:10:00.000+08:00

I am still upset, very worried for my future. I really hope I can go to where I want to go. School was fun, it is a place for me to laugh it out and forget about my problems. Yesterday was CNY celebration, school ended early, I went to West Mall to shop with fiona, the place is boring, nothing I like there. Dine at Pasta Mania, I really don't like eating that. Never manage to finish it; not because it is too much, the taste is too strong to eat even half a plate. After that went home, wasted an afternoon. Today was not much better. Went to dad's office to look around. It is in the west. These few days I keep heading west, which is evoking much sadness. But going out is much better than staying home. I wonder what I am going to do for the next few days. Friday and Saturday is CHINGAY! Yays! The fun event in my calender for the month. I hope it is super fun. Two days of it. Looking forward to better times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! May LUCK be with ME!

bad day

2007-02-14T21:13:00.001+08:00

As today is Valentine's day, I shall start off by shouting out to everyone:
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

That would be all the good thing I can say for today. Cause today has been quite a bad day for me. I felt sad the whole day. I am very lost about my future. It seems to be going no where. I really don't know where I want to head to. Things are getting so confusing, all because of my incompetence! Super unhappy with myself! I also had to endure 2 hours on the bus, feeling very sad. The bus journey didn't make me sick, cause I was concentrating on my sadness. Today was a bad day!

:(

BUS

2007-02-07T18:17:00.000+08:00

I have not abandon this place. Just too busy to use the computer. Which is weird cause, it has been so long since I been so busy. I like being busy, I find the fun in it. This week has been the slackest so far. I skip netball and track, too lazy to go. The road run was disappointing, cause I walk the next half of the route, but still manage to pull myself to dash the final turn; I didn't want to be caught on camera walking. But all in all, it was a bad attempt on my part. I feel so bad that it cause my partners result. But my running has improve. I complete the route in under 20mins. The prize winners came in under 15mins. :0! Since than has been slacking away.

That day, I went home at noon, to my surprise my bus was the NOKIA bus. When I set into the bus, I seriously thought I must have taken the wrong bus. The bus was very empty; it was at noon. I took the opportunity to take lots of pictures of the bus. Take a look.

This is a BUS!

NICE seats.

The place to gather.

Take YOUR seat

the seats

Up-close, the seats are very comfy. Just look at the material.

The hand-bars are the things that tell me it is a bus.

The Ez-tapping machine, shows me this is a Public Bus.

Very nice bus, it is like a little luxury riding the bus, especially compared to the normal buses at morning hours. The seats are comfortable and looks cool. This place is made to look like a place to chill. A pity no drinking and eating on the bus. If not, I might take it from one terminal to another.

WISH ME LUCK!

busy

2007-01-16T17:36:00.000+08:00

Have been so busy lately. I don't know what I was busy with though. Just know that I am always doing something. Maybe the main reason is school, it is so far away. But I found a faster route to school. I really wasted a lot of time taking that long and useless bus, when there was a faster alternative. Got to thank Jenny for telling me. In school, things are getting boring. Still got to stay on with the system. And well Jap classes has started, and I am super stress out by it. Everything was going so easy and relaxing until Jap came along. Wahhh! Yesterday was the first lesson, I miss LC so much. The view at night was wonderful. But well, that was not the main point. When the lesson started and the teacher start to speak in jap, I suddenly felt so stress. Throughout the lesson, he continued to speak about the criteria for the examinations. They are so difficult, the oral component especially. There are 3 sections including presentation, and conversation on mature topics such as politics! Sensei said we have to read japanese newspaper. When I heard that I felt like banging my head against the table, anyway it might crack soon. I have to tear my head and the dictionary to read the japanese paper. The whole lesson was so tiring, listening to the many new stuff to learn. If I pass the exams, I can go to japan and study, that is the standard! But all is not lost. He said I was good. haha, during class work, comprehension, I could surprisingly understand the passage after reading it a few times. Lucky I know Chinese. So I understood the passage and could answer the questions. That was the only thing I was happy about. After the lesson, I felt so stressed. I really don't know if I can even understand the lesson. The stress is really killing me. I dread the coming of the next lesson. For which I have to do some homework. Got to start revising all my jap lessons. ArrhhH! There goes my fun. :(

late

2007-01-07T19:09:00.000+08:00

It's all about late these days. Late for school, coming home late. The worse thing is that I am late for school like every single day. 2nd day, 1hour late, next two days 30mins late. I really don't like travelling so far everyday. 1 hour journey can kill me. It is so long!!! I am so bored everyday on the bus! Yup, bus! What I hate most. Aside from being late to school. I come home late, cause school ends at 5 and with the hour long journey, I am home at 6. These few days were full of activity. Too much to watch TV or use the computer. But everyday was fun so it doesn't matter. I found a twin, made new friends and everything is just different. Amidst the new beginnings, I am so happy to share that I met some old friends. Miss them.

On Saturday, I met two of my gracians and also blessings. I saw Xingyue on the way to school. Omg, I couldn't believe it when she told me, "I am an OGL!". I was momentarily shock, xingxing is a leader! I guess she changed a lot, like more outgoing. So happy to see her. Than in school, I met Sihan! yup, it has been so long since I last saw her. When I approach her, she hugged me tight, lol, miss her. Now I would get to see more of her. I am going for Chingay! yays, I can just imagine all the fun I would have.

I am happy!! :)

Jdrama

2007-01-01T23:43:00.000+08:00

Oh no! I am stuck onto Japanese dramas. I been sitting in front of the laptop and watching WATER BOYS 2 for days. All 12 episodes! The show is sooo nice, I am going to watch it again tomorrow. It is even better than GOONG! What more, I feel that I remember more Japanese phrases from the show than my years of lessons. yays, so it is sort of helping me brush up my Japanese. The show is a must watch!! Ichihara Hayato, the lead in the show is so かこい(kakoi) which actually means cool rather than handsome. So after WATER BOYS 2 rerun, I am going to watch all the other shows with Ichihara Hayato starring in them! He got so many shows and some movies. I am going to see them all. After my re-run of WATER BOYS , I shall finish up my japan trip essay and blog entry, plus an entry on WATER BOYS 2!!

yays, finally found something Japanese to be interested in.
I am so happy! 嬉しいね！:)

*HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2007 will be a good year for all.

INTERNET

2006-12-30T00:09:00.000+08:00

What's with the Internet today! Freaking slow. Getting me very agitated. To think that my maxonline plan is the best! So crap, every thing is slower by like a few times compared to the plan before my upgrade. ARARRHH> I feel so cheated. Pay more for less!!! Today is the worst, I don't know if some earthquake cut the lines again or whatever. Everything is so LAG! It is as though my computer has hang. I DON'T LIKE LAGINESS! Especially when I am trying to stream things. How do I even watch a proper clip on youtube if it doesn't even loads. Arrrhh> I called starhub to complain, but didn't get a clear answer. After so much I still don't know what is so WRONG with the connections. IT IS SOOOOO SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Today has already started as a boring day, lack of sleep, and everything in the house cannot be used exept the computer. And everything I do on the computer disappoints me so much, EVERYTHING LAGGING!!! It just flares me up! arrrhhh>

BAD DAY!!! :(! SUPER UNHAPPY!

Christmas

2006-12-26T17:39:00.000+08:00

Christmas! Yesterday was totally fun. The Christmas spirit was definitely there. Went down to escape with the group. True to the Christmas spirit, we had a reunion. Finally! The day started with me waking up late, the night before I was too busy wishing everyone on MSN "Merry Christmas" and went to sleep late. With the help of a morning call, pull myself out of bed. Didn't even get to have breakfast. Reach downtown east the last. All due to that very slow shuttle bus. The 1st ride was the Pirate Ship which is the worst ride for me. Ohmy, I was screaming my heart out, throughout the ride my heart keep on trying to jump out. Arrh> I sat in the middle alone, the rest wanted to take the risk and sat at the ends. No way was I going to sit there. In the middle it was already bad enough!! When the ride end after what seems like hours of torture, my whole face was red from screaming. Next was the revolution, nice ride, nothing really bad about it except that it is very violent in the turning. Went to take the yakult ride, well boring. The haunted house was OK, went in as a line, held CS and Fiona's hand, CS was the leader, brave woman. The rest in the line kept on screaming, the first two in line, which was me and CS had nothing to scream about. We were like "what, where/...?" As it started to rain, we went off for lunch. Couldn't decide what to eat, landed at KFC at last. After the meal, had gift exchanged mama's gift. Went back into escape after lunch. Queued for the Go-kart, it we stood in the queue for 2 hours! There was one closure of the ride due to mild rain but many still stayed in the queue. When it was our turn, we were so happy and excited. After 2 hours of wait it was down to 15 mins of play! Such a big contrast. The weather was raining on off the whole day. After the ride, I didn't participate in the others, yesterday was my 4th trip, no regrets. Went home when the rides close, ate at white sands, on the way saw bonjun who had to enroll into NS on Christmas day. Took a bus home, it was a long ride, but I hardly felt it. Had 2 friends to accompany me. :D

The end of my Christmas 2006, it has been the best. Cause I got a white Christmas in Japan this year. With real snow and real Christmas trees. Even a snow man! I also got an e-Christmas card form kristi,a little not my taste though. But I am not complaining, it is the thought that counts and sending a card while on holiday in Korea counts a lot!

yup, so I am happy! :)

KRISTI'S CARD!

WHITE CHRISTMAS WITH REAL CHRISTMAS TREES

MERRY XMAS

Night at the museum

2006-12-23T22:49:00.000+08:00

Finally got to catch a movie after so long. It was really long, like months since I went to the movies. I was so happy that I finally caught a show. What more, a good show. Made me so happy. I went to catch Night at the Museum.

Night at the museum is a very good movie. It is a very funny movie. Ben stiller is really good at all the funny part. Although there is not really a plot, basically about the things at the museum coming to life at night. My favourite is Attila the Hun , he is so funny. He is actually shouting when he speaks and his words are so long. He sure needs a lot of breath to say his lines. Ben Stiller of course is still the best. It is practically his show. He done his part very well. A good funny movie to keep you laughing throughout. Must watch!

Writing the Japan trip post. Got lots to write so it will take a long time before I put it up.

Today

2006-12-14T22:42:00.000+08:00

I am back from JAPAN! Japan was so wonderful, I really wanted the trip to last longer. I love the winter, everything is covered in snow, so beautiful. The temperature was a little too cold sometimes but it was nothing. I shall blog about Japan after I grab all the photos from my friends.

Birthday! I spent my birthday on planes. I reach Singapore at 11:55pm. So when I came out of the airport it was past 12. Thus, my birthday was over. But still I manage to celebrate my birthday. Dear Japan exchange mates celebrate the occasion at midnight in the hotel. I manage to celebrate this birthday in Japan :) Pinwen and Jasmine bought me a cake, that was so nice of them. Then they drew a candle and light it up with the matches from the hotel. We head to the lobby for photo taking as some people were complaining about the din we were making. A few of them gave me presents. Thank you all! There was the after party in the S&H room, next to mine. We played cards, ate Instant noodles. I finally how to play the 21point card game. I even manage to get second with the help of littleblue. The SP people also help me celebrate it some how, thanks for the present too. The party ended only at 4am. I was okay, we slept a lot on the plane.
Yesterday, Zoee, Fiona, CS, JY and Brenda celebrated my birthday again. We ate steamboat at Marina, on the way back we got drench on the way to City hall. It was still a wonderful day. Full of fun. They gave me a elmo balloon and a soft toy. Thank yous SO MUCH!

My dad got me a laptop for my birthday. I am using it to type this very post. :)

Speaking about birthday, I am very upset that I lost a lot of my birthday massages. I called Starhub and they told me that my messages were automatically delete as I only turn on my phone on the 13 of December. As a result I lost the messages. Which doesn't make much sense, they told me the messages are held for 48 hours, so on the 13, I should still be able to receive the messages. And the thing is they told me they couldn't do anything to retrieve them. SADS! :( Birthday messages are very important to me, I keep them until my next birthday. This year I got nothing to keep. ;( I don't get it M1. What is wrong with the network?!! I called starhub when i am using M1. ???

FLYING

2006-12-05T00:01:00.000+08:00

AWAY FOR 8 DAYS!

bus

2006-12-03T18:00:00.001+08:00

Buses make me sick. Really tired out and sick, very close to vomiting. I shall stay away from buses as much as I can from now on.
What I don't like about buses:
-The waiting time is Freaking LONG! I toppled on the seat at the bus stop. Wasted more than 30mins of my time, standing at the bus stop breathing in all the toxic gases.
-The bus ride was not a smooth one. It sometimes jerk so much that I end up swallowing lots of saliva to stay conscious.
-Bus rides spoil my day, rob me of all my energy, leaving me unable to walk or think right.
-Give me the nauseous feeling that has lasted until now, 3 hours after the bus ride ended...

:( vomiting.

UMEYA is making me so mad! They have yet to restock on the Empress Sour Plum which is like the only nice plum to eat. The rest are not even sour, masked by all the what even fen. This like going to be a month since I call up almost all the outlets asking if they have, all had said "out of stock, will be restocking SOON!" I still don't see it. I even went out of the way to Bishan to buy it, after the terrible bus ride, I really needed it. But again to my disappointment, no where to be found, I tasted the others none was sour enough. :( I shall try their competitor soon, maybe they will stock better plums. I sound like I am a plum obsessed person. Which is a little true. It is my favorite food.

JAPAN! I am flying on the 5th at night. I have yet to even search for a luggage. not to say pack my stuff. Thank u Serene for lending me your stuff. :) I am also listing what I should buy there, consider placing sour plums on the list. I am flying ANA, which I hope will be as nice as the advertise on TV, at ever interval of Japan Hour. I am looking forward to the wonderful food that I saw on TV :D It will be a long night flight, I wonder if they serve Supper and mid-night snacks :D

Bye people, I will be back ON 12th , My BIRTHDAY!

sun

2006-11-23T08:10:00.000+08:00

Went out with 12 people yesterday. It was quite a commotion. Basked in the sun and played volleyball and monkey in the water. Everyone was so red.

Dampened by the rain, we head to the biggest shopping mall. To find that it is just an empty shell, nothing much, just plain big. Orchard is much better. We walk all around the big place, our feet felt so sore. Had lunch on the pavement, a bit embarrassing, everyone was staring at us. Eating on the pavement packed food which in my case was BK! Yesterday's BK was not so good, my burger was burnt on the side, had to throw away that part.

After eating went to the sky garden to take photos, the place was wet due to the rain, had to find seats to rest while waiting for the super late S. After a few photos, everyone was so exhausted, we went back in, after a while just went back to siting on some seats in the mall. When S finally came, we went to walk about some more, which was a little tiring. Decided to get a seat and some ice cream, had BEN & JERRY'S. It was wonderful, VERY NICE ICE CREAM! 8 of us shared 6 scoops plus cookies and bananas. Everyone just ate without stopping. After eating, we left a note each on the pillar of the BEN & JERRY'S. The place was so fun! Head outside to take photos with S who has lots of stored energy leading the way. Did some stupid things, playing volleyball along the pavement, hoping that it wouldn't get into the sea. After all the fun, it was time for exhaustion to set in. On the train everyone had that tired face, seated in the most relaxing manner. The happy look on the faces still shone.

HAD A GREAT DAY! THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Skorea students

2006-11-16T20:41:00.000+08:00

While watching CNA just now, I came across this. I find it a little amusing and also set me thinking about my studies. Here's the article quoted from CNA, with my thoughts in blue.

SOUTH KOREA: More than 600,000 high school seniors in South Korea sat for nationwide college entrance exam on Thursday.

The results will determine which universities they will be able to enter. It can also determine their future career paths and even marriage partners. } The exams are so serious!!! I am lucky I am here.

An annual ritual in South Korea sees junior students cheering on their seniors who are taking part in the entrance exam.
Parents, friends and siblings gather outside the school to wish the students good luck as they arrive at the exam sites. } this is so cute, amusing, cool. I saw it on TV, the supporters are really strong, they play the drums, shout, scream, chant "all their blessings". I thought they were rioting or some star was there.

Even after the gates close, these well-wishers will stay behind.

Inside the classrooms, students wait nervously for the papers. They are restricted from bringing in electrical devices including cell phones, as some have used them to cheat in the past.

Every year, on the day of exam, government offices, banks and the stock market open one hour later than usual to allow students to make it on time for the exam.}it is that SERIOUS!

That is how crucial the exam is for South Koreans as this exam alone will determine one's future.

In South Korea, graduates of elite universities are much sought-after by top companies here, and later as wives and husbands.} it is all about your SCORES! remember that from now on.

That is why at this time every year, temples around the country are crowded with devout parents praying for their children's success in the exams. }UNIVERSAL. in times of need, there seems to be a great need for superior strength.

Some pray for months in preparation for this day.

50-year-old Park Young Sun says: "I am here for my 100-day prayer as my child is on her second try to go to college. My child studied hard and I came here instead of staying home to pray to Buddha."

Yoon Kyung Sook, another mother, says: "I've been praying hard since three days ago. I've asked that my child's score be satisfactory and if not, at least my child can be a good guesser."

The students will know their fate next month, then they will be able to decide which university to apply for.

They will face intense competition as only about half of the students who take the exams will get a place in the top universities. - CNA/

I am so sad, I can't find my sour plum at Umeya. Than I search for chocolate. The brownies shop has disappeared. I went home empty handed. So empty.

hari raya

2006-10-30T20:54:00.000+08:00

On Friday went to mama's house for hari raya celebration. Using the opportunity to look at the new toilets. Not bad, for mama's house there is not much change, the toilets were already in the beautiful state. Mine would be a big upgrade after the renovation.

Aside from that, of course there was eating. Lots of cookies and also main meal. While the rest of them watch Exocrist after lunch. I cope myself in the room to GOONG! Yeah! Than mama wanted to go out but we end up GOONGing together. We sat there watch. She gave up the idea of going out. As we did not realise that the air-con control was just in front of us, we had to endure the cold. We wrap ourselves like Eskimos. Branching from the topic, THANK YOU mama for lending me the jackets, I love the Yellow winter jacket. So warm and it make sure I don't look so thin. That is good for me.

We were quite successful, watch till 20 episode. Had a totally FUN day. Thank you so much. Wait 3 more weeks and I will GOONG with you all 24 episodes. Remember to prepare enough food for the marathon. :) I think the Crown Prince is more handsome than YUL!

jap

2006-10-30T16:50:00.000+08:00

Jap never fails to leave me exhausted. I just hope I get what I want.

sick

2006-10-23T08:40:00.000+08:00

See what the haze did! I am now sick. Running nose!! I used lots of tissue. Arrh. Two days of horror.

PSI

2006-10-19T23:06:00.000+08:00

BAD DAYS! The PSI is so high! I hate it, my mouth and throat are so dry. I hope no big health problems will follow. All these problems are the result of some irresponsible people. Who try to harm not only themselves but also the whole region. IRRESPONSIBLE! I hope hazy days will stop, so I wouldn't get asthma! CLEAR UP THE MESS U STARTED people. You kill the land not get it to become fertile. THINK LONG TERM! Don't be so shortsighted. Someone teach them environmental management. At the same time, tell them, the smoke travels, to other places! Affecting people otherwise peaceful lifestyle.

-I am not angry, i just don't like hazy days. I can't see the sun or even anything else outdoor. :(

I know

2006-10-16T10:26:00.000+08:00

I wasn't going to post. I am too bored to do anything else. I changed my tagboard! Went ACJC with GH on Saturday. It was so far, all the way at (Bouna Vista>I am not sure about the spelling). We endure close to an hour ride, but there were two of us, so no worries about being bored. We reach there and decided to walk. Everyone was walking there, we thought it must be really close, to our horror, it was a long way. I was quite surprise with the small complex. Still bigger than AJ. The buildings are in segments. There is only one main building for classes. The place is so dark. They have 1/2 a floor system, so don't be surprise if your class is on 4 and 1/2 floor. > I would be very lost without the guide. After a tour, we check out the exhibitions, then head back to the Japanese restaurant to eat. The food was quite nice. So good to have a Japanese restaurant in your school. After the eating, went back. We took the bus. On the way, I realise my face was tan. GH laugh at how easily tan I am. We discuss about the fact that ACJC was in the middle of no where. We didn't see any shopping mall in sight. oh my!

boring

2006-10-12T19:06:00.000+08:00

Life is too boring. Totally not worthy of blogging. I shall stay away for days. Until I manage to restore the fun in my life. Next predicted entry would be in december. I know it is long. It is going to worth it. I am locking myself up until I it is all over. Than I shall get ready to have fun days. Soon pack my bag and head off to Japan. Practice my japanese there, I shall see if I have the japanese factor in me. I would shape the next routh of my life!

A little note
* Blessings I will miss you people. Thank you so much for the Good two year! :)

sleep

2006-10-01T15:53:00.000+08:00

I slept from 5pm on Friday to Saturday morning. I think I am getting the sleeping bug. All who tried to contact me, sorry I was in dreamland.

Library

2006-09-28T21:18:00.000+08:00

I went to the library and today was different. I saw JW. Then there was this HC guy sitting in front. Eating lots of gummy. Nothing special until the guy next to him ask for a pack. I was partially shock, the other part of me found it humorous. I mean that guy wanted to purchase the gummy bears. He even offered 50 cents for it. The deal was actually successful, no payment was involved though. After the gummy bears, the guy actually ask the HC guy what he was studying and how is it. He even told him that it is okay, small feat, something along that line. Seriously, I was amazed by the instant "friendship".

Next the joker was me. I was getting so stressed up. Maybe I was there in the bright lights of the library too long, my eyes were acting up. I was writing Japanese notes. Than I discovered that I had been copying the wrong examples for the expression. So fret up that I bang my head on the table. HC guy took a look at what happened, I wonder if he laughed. I tried to get back my composure by taking a walk. I wonder how some actually studied so long. Seated there for so long. It is crazy. I shall start wearing spectacles next time. Than I might endure longer.

tired.

2006-09-25T22:15:00.000+08:00

I am totally satisfied with myself today is some ways. I am so happy I cleared my room. Not that my room is always in a mess, but today I dump the sofa to the other room. Now I got lots of space. I shall just sit in the middle of the room and stone. Yay. I love space. I want to live in a BIG BIG house, so that I get lots of space. I am so happy my room has lots of room for me to move about. yays.

In the sidelines, Hardy won SI. Okay, I don't really expect him to win. Although I am not supporting either of them, I just didn't really expect him to win. Still I am just smiley now. :)

Time

2006-09-22T15:35:00.000+08:00

I am very exhausted. Yet I can't rest. I feel that the pressure is already up to the neck. I just don't understand, I really put in so much. And yet, again, I might not yield what I want. Why? Am I really so incapable of such little stuff! I just don't get it. Now I have to fret over so much stuff. Results ;( Japanese! :(( Everything is coming to me at full speed. I am standing still and totally lost. What am I to do?! Someone give me some suggestion to tide over this bad time! So upset and lost, why is everything spining so fast?! I am really uptight these days. Arh! My life is strip of fun. :(

Yays!

2006-09-20T19:21:00.000+08:00

Yays! Finally the intensive period is over. I celebrated by treating myself to Sakae Sushi today. Yums. I ate quite a lot. Not having buffet so didn't really rake up the plates. After so many days of locking myself up in the world of books. I feel really tired. All energy drained from my body. I am heading to the tracks for a run, before my muscles cramp so tight and tear apart. Looking forward to outings too. I want to go around the malls. It has been so long! I want to eat Jack's place too. Hey foodie partner> when are u free? What I really miss is SLEEP! I want lot's of sleep. I want back the hours spent on the table!

A testimony of how revolving about the books all the time is bad for you.
J8 seems so nice all of a sudden today.
Walking properly is difficult, I just fall flat today while walking. That shows that you body is not functioning properly.

A reminder for all, TAKE A BREAK!

I LOVE Novena. It is a wonderful place to chill out. Especially in the night, the air is so much fresher. The sky is lighted up with stars. All is so wonderful. I just LOVE that place. I went there yesterday, United Square >Rocks! It got Subway!! After studying we had photo session. Took so many photos. But a bit out of quality, it was dark and I don;t really know my phone yet. The pictures turned out very dark.

For a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward their own world and relationship to things in his or her own space. If the inputted data was correct Susan has left lots of white space on the left side of the paper. Susan fills up the rest of the page in a normal fashion. If this is true, then Susan has a healthy relationship to the past and is ready to move on. The right side of the page represents the future and Susan is ready and willing to get started living now and planning for the future. Susan would like to leave the past behind and move on.

Susan is having some confusion in her physical life. She is examining the past to give her answers about some of her physical desires. She may be trying to find a balance between her philosophical beliefs and her natural physical desires.

Susan is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. She needs to visualize the end of a project before she starts. she finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said she plans everything she is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Susan basically feels good about herself. She has a positive self-esteem which contributes to her success. She feels she has the ability to achieve anything she sets her mind to. However, she sets her goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". She has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, she will not take great risks, as they relate to her goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, her self-perception is better than average.

Because Susan has sharp needle pointed 'm' and 'n' humps, she has a very sharp mind. She instantly sizes up situations, making instant decisions. She thinks and evaluates circumstances very rapidly. Many people with this type of mind are geniuses, thus she may be seen as highly intelligent. Susan is often irritated by slow talkers or slow thinkers. If she drives, she gets irritated by slow drivers in the fast lane. She quickly becomes bored when being taught on the level of the slowest student in class. She may be on problem number three when the rest of the class is on problem one. Susan is curious and very active. In fact, in school she might have been a trouble maker because she thought so much faster than the other kids, she finished her work first, thus having plenty of time on her hands to make trouble!

Susan will be candid and direct when expressing her opinion. She will tell them what she thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want her opinion, don't ask for it!

Susan will demand respect and will expect others to treat her with honor and dignity. Susan believes in her ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. She has a lot of pride.
Susan is moderately outgoing. Her emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, she can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. She has the ability to put herself into the other person's shoes. Susan will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes she will be happy, the next day she might be sad. She has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because she is in between. Psychology calls Susan an ambivert. She understands the needs of both types. Although they get along, she will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." She doesn't sway too far one way or the other. When convincing her to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to her. She puts herself in the same situation as the person in the story, yet she will not buy anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. Susan is an expressive person. She outwardly shows her emotions. She may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story. Susan is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. She weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, and then will decide when she finally has to. She basically doesn't relate to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue.

Susan tends to write a bit smaller than the average person. When a person's letters are small and tiny, this indicates an ability to focus and concentrate. This character trait is a huge asset in careers like math, science, race car driving, and flying planes. When she is busy working on a project, it is common for all other noises and distractions to just fade away and her ability to focus is incredible. When she says she didn't hear you... really, she didn't hear you.

Adidas Elite 0.5Litre Water Bottle

2006-09-03T16:09:00.000+08:00

I finally bought a water bottle, after some weeks of hunting. I can really be flicker minded about the purchase. Initially I wanted the new Nike bottle in black, than I saw it in White and I decided on the white one. I went around in search of the white Nike bottle. Than I saw someone with the orange Nike bottle. Couldn't resist, changed my mind to the orange Nike bottle. Today, went searching all over for it. I couldn't find the orange bottle and was attracted to the black and white with orange words Adidas bottle. But my final purchase was actually the Adidas Elite 0.5Litre Water Bottle in scarlet red. Just one bottle and I had to go through so much choosing. I find myself so troublesome at times. However I reckoned it is okay cause it is only trouble to me.

Along the way, I dropped by at the new Bishan Library. I went all the way there to find some books. Actually new books, almost everything there is new. The place was full of people, fortunately it is like 5 or 6 storey high. So the people are spread out. You can get a good workout, especially the teenagers cause the teens section is on the highest floor. There is this thing about the library that I find it scary. The place is so transparent. Every thing is clear glass. Everyone on the outside can see you. In such a way, there are rooms popping out, everyone on the lower floors can see you. A bit freaky. The openness just freaks me out. Feel so watched. In conclusion, the library is nice, I shall try to make my way there some other day, when there is no crowd.

That;s all for today :)

Day out

2006-08-26T21:59:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was my day out. I met W and GH to study as planned. Oh sorry GH for being late. I thought I was so bad, then W said that she will be much later, actually around 6 hours late. Record breaking. Than there was a change of plan from Thomson to Library. We went to eat BK first. Yay! I got to eat BK, breakfast even. It was very nice. YUMS! We proceed to the library got 2 tables and started studying. The rest of the group from the Prata operation came over. We started studying, than half of them left. I sent them off, and brought back food and also Ms. late. We downgraded to one table and started studying. It was quite a lively session. After a whole day of studying, went to eat BK! for dinner. We had a long chatting session. Our analyst gave a full update of the people around. Really powerful observing skills. Can pin point your weakness and stuff. It was then time to head home. By then it was around 10. Very late. But this time I had GH to accompany me home. THANKS GH :) Thanks everyone for the very enjoyable day! :D

Thoughts

2006-08-22T17:19:00.000+08:00

Today went well! Yup. Easy stuff, hope I said the right things. ONE down, Many to come! Nevermind, I had a good start so will have a SUPER ending. Wish me luck. Maybe it is beacuse I had so many people wishing me luck that we really had good luck. Thank you all. :)

I was looking through some old stuff, years old, and I realise that in some things. The very people supporting the thing from collepsing are the one who cause the things to come to the collepsing stage. I know I had my part for the sour situation but EXCLUDING to make yourself INCLUDED is plain selfish! Coming to a state where things are so beautiful on the outside but cracking in the inside. Never practising the very principal that it is founded on. Crap. >stop guessing if it is about you! It is just some isolated comment. Don't think to much after reading this whoever you are.

-I want to achieve the max. GO!

Weekends

2006-08-21T20:22:00.000+08:00

Weekends are nice. Very nourishing. I had six meals each day for Saturday and Sunday. All the credits goes to my wonderful dad who keeps churning up stuff from the kitchen. I just ate away the day. It was healthy stuff too, only a little oily. On Sunday I got to eat BK>LOVE. I ate only a portion only, my brother just ate them all. I took the bus home that day. It was a bad journey. I intended to enjoy the nice view of the Thomson, novena area. But everything was spoiled by the bumpy ride. Adding to my bus sick problem. I couldn't even sit properly. The view was nice but not the journey. When I reach home, after what seems like the long walk, I wanted to topple on my bed. In the end a big meal gave me the energy to sustain the day.

Wish me luck for tomorrow!

Scholl

2006-08-14T17:53:00.000+08:00

I want to watch this very nice movie. Sophie Scholl. It is a German movie about the White Rose. A group of ordinary teenagers who despite living rather comfortably during the German war, decided to stand up for what is right. They were executed for their deeds by the Nazis. Charged as treason to the country, they distributed 7 leaflets secretly, Leaflets of The White Rose. In the leaflets they call upon fellow Germans to take action to stop the cruel massacre by the Nazis. It is like "WAKE UP YOU PEOPLE!" kind of message. Now the white rose members are honored in Germany. Starting with their school, Munich University . Check out this site, "http://zeitgeistfilms.com/scholl_html/flash.html". I love the introduction. If you catch the movie before me, do tell me your comments. :)

-Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be. ~Thomas Ã Kempis, Imitation of Christ, c.1420- >very LOGICAL!

Chalet

2006-08-09T23:52:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was chalet day for the class. Had lots of fun at downtown east. I really hope to stay overnight sometime. Cause the beds are so comfy. Haha. It was a wonderful event. With fun, FOOD, friends and also the sea. Cycling at the park was wonderful. I didn't know pasir ris had a beach. haha. I know so "noob". When I saw the sea, it made me feel so calm and relax. Totally at peace. Of course I was figuring out how there was actually a beach at pasir ris. Aside from my lack of knowledge, I had a fun time cycling. The breeze was cooling, view was wonderful, the tracks were smooth. Just Fabulous. I want to go there again!

After the cycling experdition, went to the shops to get first aid stuff for poor GH who fell down many times. When I went back to the chalet, the guys had started cooking. I went for the chicken wings, just ready, I have good timing with food. I took them in to the house to eat. Nice stuff. The guys really know how to cook! Many rounds of serving later, I started to play volleyball. I think I played very well compared to the other times. There was a group of playing till it was time to clean up. It was totally FUN!

After the clean up, we had photo taking session. Took very long to even get one photo. Than there was this very NOOB guy who couldn't take a picture properly. hahaha. We only took 3 pictures in the end. It took like 1hour! With that, sastri and me went home. Sads, couldn't stay. Some of the guys sent us off. At tampinese we took the same bus back, I stop at katib to change to the MRT. When I reach the bus interchange, I didn't know I missed the last bus. I just waited there dumbly, and people join in the queue thinking that there was going to be a bus. I am so SORRY people for giving you false hope. I ran home as it was very late, waiting for the bus that never came took 30minutes. <>

Now back to the beginning. I met Sas, Jonathan, WM at katib MRT, I was the last one to arrive. Sorry. Had a good time on the journey and at Tampinese mall with them. Lots of things to laugh about. Especially WM, trying to save the cab uncles from losing their job.

I had a very good day. Thank you everyone for making my day! :) a big smile for all. :D

tired

2006-08-06T17:56:00.000+08:00

YAWNS! I am so tired today. I just had a nap yet still tired. Can't really be helped. I stayed up till 2am to study japanese. Woke up early to revise again. I ate Indian style breakfast and went for japanese test. I reach bugis to find out that it was raining. But my anxiety on the exam just made me dash in the rain. Reach there early, even earlier than sensei. Suprised her I guess. Now about the test. Actually the test was quite easy. Really stuff from the worksheet. So since I had at the very least done my last minute studying. I will pass this test, REALLY DESERVED IT! Scoring> not sure, last minute work has some glitches. I am not sure if I should continue taking classes or should I switch to JLPT 2 prepration class.
That aside, I went to eat MOS with Melissa after the test. I tried the yakuniku burger, it is so difficult to eat. The beef keeps dropping. So UNGLAM!

ruggers

2006-08-04T21:32:00.000+08:00

I went to run 2km at the stadium today. I saw lots of ruby players there. So for your information. There are ruby practices on Friday at the stadium. Hinting to some people who like to watch those games and the people. There are two teams there and not all of the players are Australian. There is a mix of all races. I think the rotate to use the field as I could not see the two very tall Australian this time. Well after a long run, I had to eat a very big meal. I ate 2 plates again. I am very happy I am finally eating well. And I absolutely LOVE my dad's cooking. I think I must marry a guy who cooks as good as him. That way I get to eat good food everyday. Of course I will also do my part in cooking and eating. Anyway enough about foodie.

I still have to study for Sunday's paper. Groans> I am only touching it now, that is very last minute of me. I am watching LOVE@ 0 degrees. Nice show cause there is ELVIN NG in it. He is so handsome. LOL> I know I sound a little fanatic. Hack> ELVIN NG is so handsome. I also know that there are many out there who wants a piece of him. I shall not be to that stage of crazyness. I shall just admire from a distance while you other fans out there can drool about him.

My dad switch the channel and I heard the news about Indonesia having tsunami drills. They should have done those long ago. Japan save almost everything from its natural disaster causes they are prepared. Responsibility is on the country not the world!

thanks

bad day

2006-07-31T18:36:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was the worst day. Everything was just wrong. I went out in my spectales, as a result had a blur day. Bang into the door at the toilet. Nearly got into a car accident. Someone left me with the burden again. I realise that a just don't have a happy F. So treasure yours. Some people just don't understand. Blessed are those who have the love ones together.

Schedule

2006-07-29T10:50:00.000+08:00

I sat at the library for what seems like hours, but when I step out, I realise that it was just 3 hours. I figured out that studying in the library is a excellent thing. I get lots of work done. No distraction and the temperature is just nice. I also get to rest my eyes by looking at the green outside. I am currently very worried about my eyes. I think I am straining them too much. So I am considering wearing glasses instead of contact lens so as to reduce the stress on my eyes. My dad is also bringing me to the Chinese doctor to check on my back pains. He thinks acupuncture might help. I am scared of that though. But if it gets rids of the pain than I don't mind. I beats drinking the very bitter medicine.

-giving it all, hopefully I get the best-

Beef

2006-07-25T18:13:00.000+08:00

Beef used to go with eee. But now I am happily biting beef. My new source of food was a move of desperation. I had to take beef so as to grow fatter. Beef is more notorious in terms of protein compare to chicken. And since I am sick of chicken, I just decided to eat beef. But my house does not serve beef so I have to take it outside only. Today I tried the beef fantasic at MACD. It was Nice!

-I rather suffer this moment than regret. -

down

2006-07-24T17:19:00.000+08:00

This morning I woke up very early, at 7am to meet sastri for breakfast. After Mac breakfast at J8, we went to watch garry's Taekwondo match. I discovered somethings about Taekwondo. 1, there are many elements competed other than the fighting. 2, the fighting is a boring, not as what I expected would be high flying kicks. No such thing, they just kick around and push around. It is boring. Except for garry's match, the reason being we were too engrossed into cheering him to win. 3, There are 4 officials per match to decided the scores. I still don't know how they get the points. 4, As long as you kick the opponent out, you win. 5, you are suppose to shout out like some warrior at war to scare away the opponent. This part is so funny cause sometimes you voice can go bad. And you actually make the opponenet laugh instead. 6, You also must look fierice to scare away the opponent too. There was this guy who was very fierice that the refree keep asking him to cool down.

That;s all I learn about Taekwondo.

UPSET!

2006-07-21T15:39:00.000+08:00

I WILL PROVE U WRONG! I am very angry and upset! I can't believe I have to study in such an environment. I never have been look down so bad before. And U! part of the reason I am like this dare to say I can't make it! I will show you my abilities and I am limitless!!!!

Forgiving is so difficult and it has just became more difficult! The truth is this world never accepts failures. The curse is never resolved.

2006-07-19T20:56:00.000+08:00

Finally I can close those books for a while. Now I got to open my japanese books. More tests coming. It been so long, got to memorise all the patterns and words. So much memory work. Not that I am trying to demote the interest of japanese budding in you but seriously you better have the interest first. If not you will find things so boring and yawn away your work. Waste of time and memory space. No matter what, since I have started on it, I am going to do well for it. I must master japanese no matter what!

freak!

2006-07-17T17:56:00.000+08:00

I went to study and met a mad freaking guy. Not that I am being bad saying he is a mad and freaking guys cause he totally is. I was sitting at the table studying. I really wanted to use the toilet for big bussiness and the toilet there was not clean. Packed up my stuff and went home. Than this China guy in SINGLET! Muttered something which I didn't understand so I walk off. Thought I was hearing things. I went out and he actually followed me out!!! Freaked me when he suddenly shout out to talk to me.

He ask if we can be friends! DOTZ! I don't even know him. I told him NO! Walked again once again. Lucky he didn't follow after. I was walking home with my head half turned. Worried that he might follow. Arh! FREAKY MAD MAN!

Bad day

2006-07-16T16:37:00.000+08:00

Motorola and Singtel spoilt my day. I got a new phone and a NEW NUMBER(if u still don't have it find me on msn). My new phone in my opinion is terrible. I don't like the key pad, it hurts my fingers. It was so painful for my fingers after using it so I shall try to distance from the phone. I got to wait like so long before I might get a Sony Ericsson. Sads, all because M1 got problem selling all models.

Today Singtel spoilt my day in a big way. I went to buy the hiCard for my cousin as I was out. There I stood in the queue for so long. Actually there were only 2 people in front. But the shop actually serves those purchasing the handsets 1st. So I stood there like an idiot for so long seeing her call out others name. There were like 6 people cutting my queue and it is not their fault cause they were queuing but the cashier called them in front. I was very polite and stupid, I waited in line. Than a woman came, she can be called my hero for that period. She saw the cashier called someone in front to pay for the handset. The woman shouted out that it was unfair. We have to stand in line while they don't. So the cashier offered to serve her 1st!! She was very nice and shouted at them to serve me first as I stood there for so long. The cashier serve me, took only a minute. SINGTEL has terrible service. They made me wait in the queue for like 20 minutes to serve me for 1 minute only. The cashier was also doesn't look happy at all. She still trys to argue. SINGTEL SERVICE is bad!

The fact that the place was packed with people buying new handsets just makes me wonder what is wrong with them? Is it like they change handset every week? Or the handsets are selling at $1??

I am feeling very cross today. So I apologise to johnson for my bad attitude today.
