An evening out

2007-10-13T09:11:00.000-07:00

Last evening was a night out with my bf and his Navy friends. We went to this restaurant at Parkland for dinner and then head down to some pubs at Boat Quay. The dinner session was ok ok only lah, cos the food isn't very nice. But the pubbing session was great, maybe cos I've fallen in love with drinking. Haha.. which is obviously not very healthy. And then, like any other drinking sessions, we played those card games and the sway me always draw the drinking cards. =( Anyways, the pub we went was not bad. Chivas at only $128 and Absolut at only $99. Considered cheap lah..

Some pics..

Mid Autumn Fest!

2007-09-25T07:04:00.001-07:00

Today's mid autumn Festival! I usually celebrate it with my boy, either just eating mooncake at his house, hanging a few lanterns outside his house and playing with candles, or going to Sembawang park to carry lanterns. This yr, he's in camp, so we couldn't spend it together. Never mind, it's ok.. some pictures of the past to brighten the full moon night!

Wedding Bells! Ding ding ding..

2007-09-17T06:56:00.000-07:00

Over the weekend, it was my bf's eldest sis's big day.. Busy busy busy! We were so busy the whole day! Anyways, I didn't really manage to take pics of the bride with my camera, cos whenever she's ard, I've work to do, like to help her hold the back part of the very long dress, or to help her touch up her make up, etc etc.. so I only managed to take pics with my dear. Photos of the bride at a later time, when I've got them from the professional photographer..

This is the day..

And this is the night.. Right after a session of very thick make-up by the make-up artist.. The make up is really very thick..

And my bf, practising his tkd in the bridal suite..

... .... ...

Then he decided that he shall go and change.. and here he is!

And this is us, all dressed up..

Ok, photos of the bride and groom at a later time.. Haha..

2007-09-10T08:54:00.000-07:00

This is quite funny..

My bf looks quite a bit like Andy Lau.. hahahaha..

Wedding Bells on 15/09/2007!

2007-09-10T08:06:00.000-07:00

Dear's elder sis's gonna get married this coming Sat! Over the weekend, I went to his place to discuss those wedding stuffs with his sisters and I'm gonna be 1 of the jie-meis for his sis. Because many relatives are gonna come to his place, his mum had to tidy up the whole house. She found this Diver Snoopy chucked somewhere in his room, and my dear generously gave it to me! It represents him, my diver bf!

Happily together.. Diver Kok Fei, Diver Snoop and Fencer Elaine..

2007-08-29T21:33:00.000-07:00

A brand new beginning for both of us!

After the rain comes the sunshine..

last entry

2007-07-11T05:49:00.000-07:00

My last entry b4 I leave for HK in 2 days' time..

Yes the reason why I'm still blogging here is because I still have much hope in the relationship..

To anyone, you may be just a son, a brother, a friend, a fellow coursemate etc.. but to me, you're my world.. I once said that I can give up anything in the world except you, and yes, this is still true.. Because to me, you mean the world, without my world, I'm nothing, hence there's nothing much I want if my world.. if you.. are gone..

Maybe you don't feel that you r worth that much to anyone, but I'm telling you that you are. You definitely are. I don't know how much at all I mean to you, but it doesn't matter.. Love don't ask for equal returns. I only know in my heart, you mean much more than you thought you do..

Even thou promises are indeed broken in reality, but in my heart, they still exist and will always exist.. they do because of the trust I had in you ever since the 1st day we were together.. the trust runs like in the ring you gave me, in a circle, never broken.. will our love runs like the ring too.. sometimes meeting friction but yet never broken..

I thank you for giving me the chance. But I do not know when will the chance be withdrawn, I trust that it will not, so easily.. but I am still grateful. And I will put in the extra effort to mend the crack, to smoothen the friction so that the relationship runs well in the ring again.

I once told you no one loves you more than I do.. 2 years later, I am still certain of this fact.. Dear.. no one loves you more than I do..

lost

2007-06-22T20:01:00.000-07:00

Have been pretty lost the whole of this week.. Telemarketing job is getting me very frustrated cos I do calling n calling n calling the whole day n nothing else.. I don really have good frens there, not like when I was at PA where I had Edith n Phyllis. So I was all alone there, just keep thinking n thinking abt my problems for the whole of the week..

In a relationship, other than love, I believe there's still responsibility. We all have responsibility towards our partners, no matter r we men or women.

Out of all these years of relationship, all I asked for was a chance to make amendments n try things out all over again, with the mentality of treasuring even more what was nearly lost. Yes, chance don't come easily, somethings missed will not come back again, but as long as one gives the chance, things missed do come back. Giving just one chance for a 2 yr relationship is not sth difficult or too much to ask for. It's not a 'forever' I'm asking for. It's just a chance.

That's all I asked for..

it takes 2

2007-06-16T22:39:00.000-07:00

it takes 2 to get a relationship going.. and it takes 2s' effort to save it from a crisis..

if I've been a hassle to you, pls let me know.

i want them to be happy

2007-06-16T09:38:00.000-07:00

I went becos I wanted them to be happy. I know they love me just like the way they love their own children, so I love them too. When I sat beside them, I don't when is the next time I'll get to sit beside them to have a meal again, or will there be a next time in the 1st place. I felt sad n sorry in my heart becos I truly love them. But at least I made them happy today, I'm not sure if I would still have the chance to do so in future. I still wish that they'll be happy thou.. no matter who comes by..

2007-06-12T06:35:00.000-07:00

I realise quite some things today..

I've just started to work at an events company where I don't know anyone here. I tot I'll have to lunch alone at one corner somewhere at Bendemeer or have to buy lunch back n eat at my lonely desk. But fortunately that's not the case. The lady who got me the job who is my current superior asked me out for lunch. Another 2 part timers, who already know each other b4hand also asked me out for lunch. Great! Not short of company. So I decided to go with the 2 part timers instead. Initially I didn't thought I'll get along well with them cos they're just so different from me, but in the end, I can get along well in fact.

I've always been afraid to enter a new environment esp when I duno anyone there. But I realise that it's not that difficult to adapt to a new place, get to know new people n learn new things bit by bit n there's nothing to be afraid of. I should give myself a chance to try to be independent and face a totally unfamiliar world by myself.

I also realise that it doesn't take much effort to forget n put unhappy things at the back of my mind. As much as many unhappy things have happened recently, I wished to throw them at the back of my memories or even out of my memories as much as I can. I've started up a 'Happiness Bottle' or 'Happiness Treasure Box', depending whether I can get hold of a bottle or a box n I write down anything happy encounter with my bf at any point of time on a small piece of paper, fold it and put it in the bottle/box. And I hope the bottle/box will be filled up very soon. And I'll always n only rem n acknowledge this "Happiness Bottle/Box".. no retention of unhappines at all.. =)

The fencing days

2007-06-08T00:41:00.000-07:00

These few weeks, or in fact, for the past month or so, I've been very into fencing, cos HK comp is coming near, in about 1 mth plus time. Prob my last comp for the team cos I'll be graduating soon. Anyway, I've been into this sport for almost 3 yrs. Many memories, many old frens who've 'retired' fr the sport, many new frens who've joined the sport. And I really enjoyed the company of these new batch of frens during trg n hope I will enjoy the HK trip with them.. =)

Oh well.. just some of my memories in fencing..

My first comp at FM Open.. this is Claire, one of fencers I've known for the longest time..

And this is our team then.. only 2 batches of fencers. Each batch 6. So that makes 12. And these are those who took part in the comp..

Our 1st x'mas dinner together at our 1st president, Sophie's house!

Our 1st Novices. We sent 2 teams and both won Bronze..

My Bday at FM with my 3 gan mei meis and the cake that our gan ma, Su san baked just for us!

And our team went to Sentosa for this treasure hunt thingy.. this is 1 of the groups, xuyang, chuanyao and me..

The whole gang..

This is 2nd yr of Novices.. Team A won Silver..

Me and Alvin, my presider..The girls..All of us!

New year dinner.. I think it's 2006..

Just some memories from fencing.. hope I'll be back with many victorious pictures from HK..

Nice people ard me

2007-06-05T00:29:00.000-07:00

Today, I drive a car for the 1st time! It's so fun! And best of all, my instructor is not the fierce kind. He's very approachable n very friendly. But I can't stand those clutch n gear, so ma fan.. I'm hoping to pass by this year.. wish me luck..

After driving lesson, I met my sister n my Aunt for lunch. My Aunt is someone who looks after me from young till when I'm in sec sch and she could still rem some memorable incidents that happen when I was in kindergarden lor, which was like more than 10 yrs ago.. so amazing. After lunch, my sister accompany her to Chinatown while I went home n b4 I leave, she stuffed a $50 note into my bag and ask me to use the money to buy clothes for myself. So sweet! I was very touched. I'm glad that she's having a good life now that her 2 sons have proper and in fact, high paying jobs, 1 has been married for almost 10 yrs, 1 is getting married at the end of the year, and they both love her very much. As for her husband, my uncle, he's one of the most honest n good men I've ever known. A typical kind uncle lor.. So glad for her..

I'll be starting work tmr.. Hope I'll like the job so that I can continue working n get money to learn driving. Another very kind person is my father who generously sponsored a considerable sum of money for my driving. Thanks dad!

some things happen w/o a reason

2007-06-03T09:50:00.000-07:00

Disappointment is what had filled me as I blogged this entry. After 2 years, it seemed like everything was back to square n that there was no trust being built up through these 2 years of understanding n going tru many things together. I am not someone else and I will never want to live in the shadows of someone else n being speculated of doing sth that the someone else, some bitch had did. The feeling is not good when u know that u won't do sth, but pple assume that u will n then put a full stop to it and say that u will, even thou u won't, simply becos someone else in the past had did it b4. And the worse thing is, speculation n ignorance come without communication, nor trust.

This feeling is helpless. That I can't do anything, becos it's something that was unfairly assumed that it will happen even thou it had not happened n will not happen.

I've given my all.. what else can I do or say.. when I'm wronged, misunderstood n unfairly judged. I've no idea.

If we are people in this world, who can lend unhappy people happiness and also borrow happiness from people for ourselves as well, isst time to return you the happiness I borrowed from you for so long? Just becos of a misjudgment that u strongly believe in your heart? Well maybe.

Welcome to sch Pang!

2007-06-03T09:22:00.000-07:00

A fren whom I've known for almost 7 years is having one of his happiest period of his life, that's leaving army and embracing schooling life! So he decided to celebrate this happy occasion with us! We had a very generous treat from him at Merchant Court and in return, we gave him some Zara vouchers and hope that they will come in useful when he shops for return-to-school clothes..

This is all of us.. Pang, Dawn, Yvonne n Jacky..

And these r the SMU-ggers or SMU-glers or whatever u call us lah..

Chilling at the lobby..

And this is Pang, the generous host for tonight and the new member of SMU!

Pang and his ORD bridge.. Haha.. and Dawn n I were behind the camera man, Jacky, n trying to simlulate those out-of-love, drink-away-your-sorrows, let-me-jump-into-the-river tv scenes along Clarke Quay that Mediacorp could possibly film..

happy day

2007-05-29T04:34:00.000-07:00

Today's a happy day...

Reason #1:

It's our 2 years anniversary.. thou we're not going out or celebrating or anything cos my dear's in camp, but I guess it's not abt celebrating well just on that day itself but treating each other well and loving each other much everyday of the year. Anyway, the past year has been an eventful year with 3 memorable overseas trip. Well hope the years to come r gonna be as enjoyable n as fun-filled as the previous year..

Reason #2:

Rem I said I lost my wallet? What I had hoped for came true! I tot some kind but greedy soul will want to keep the wallet (cos its branded) and still be kind enough to return me those not so valuable stuffs like my photos, my IC, my mwl card, my McCafe card etc.. But what happened was even better! The lady who picked up my wallet want to return me the whole wallet with everything inside. Well I think I'm really lucky this time. Thou I've already cancelled all my cards and had been paying fees for those cards, I'm still glad that I'm getting back my wallet! Also because of this, my bf watches the way I keep my possessions carefully and make sure I don't leave them ard. And also becos of this, I will take care of my stuffs extra well and NOT LOSE MY WALLET AGAIN..

a series of unfortunate events

2007-05-27T07:22:00.000-07:00

I'm super sway these 2 days.. I duno why..

Firstly, I lost my 2 weeks old wallet yesterday.. with 5 of my debit cards fr various banks, IC, ez-link, photos, made-with-love loyalty card with about $300 worth of stamps, and just about $6 of cash. Till today, no one has returned it. So I don't think the dishonest fxxxer is gonna return it. Hai.. I can only blame it on my carelessness. But deep in my heart, I curse the dishonest, no-integrity, disgusting, awaiting-for-retribution fxxxer.

Then today, as I was going to meet nuan, dressed in a new skirt I just bought fr Mphosis, one of the buttons which fastened the straps that hangs over the shoulder to the skirt came off in the bus and I didnt know. When I alighted, then I realise. So I ran into the bus bay, knocked on the door of the bus and asked to look for my button. The bus driver was so kind. He's a very young Malay driver, in his 20s and even asked me to be careful when I make my way back to the interchange through the bus bay.

So I went to the card replacement office to make a replacement ez-card. In front of me in the queue there were 2 irritating kids that keep climbing ard, playing ard n making so much noise that I feel like giving them 2 tight slap n tell him to fxxxing behave themselves. But nah, I didn't do that. I merely cut their queue and made them wait much longer than they were supposed to, since I was making a replacement card rather than the normal topping up of ez-link or buying concession that only takes a while.

Then, I tot maybe going shopping will make my day better. In the midst of shopping, I lost sth AGAIN! I lost my fave bracelet I bought from HK, lost at where, I dont even know.. damn! Very upset n angry!

I hope the series end.. Today.. Now..

another trip

2007-05-25T05:42:00.000-07:00

I'm going to HK in about 1 n 1/2 mths time! This time will be much longer, like, 6 days, but it'll be tough cos it's a competition trip and I don have my bf along with me.. =) I kinda ponder for quite long whether if I should go. But this will be my last chance representing my school for an overseas comp, so I decided to seize it. I will miss my dear much much much.. =( 6 days.. Kinda like the longest period I'll be away from home and from my bf ever since a long time ago.. Hai.. but I'll be strong.. i hope..

Anyway, also thanks to the kind sponsorship of 2 impt men in my life that make this trip possible -- my dearest father n my dearest bf..

This will be my 5th trip to HK and my 4th overseas trip this yr.. I'm hoping for 2 more during the end of this yr.. one with my bf n his frens.. and one with my family.. Holidaying makes me happy.. very!

2007-05-23T22:24:00.000-07:00

This is a very successful show.. 90% of my friends catch it.. (I think 30% are through my strong recommendation).. even my elder sister, who is a very busy doctor catches it.. and also my mum, who is a person who always catch HK drama instead of Singapore drama..

KL Trip

2007-05-19T21:03:00.000-07:00

This is the 5th overseas trip with my bf.. This time we went KL. The weather there is so unpredictable. One moment it'll get so very hot.. another moment it'll rain heavily..

We arrived at about noon, then we checked into our hotel, which is a hotel which both of us were very satisfied with. The service is great! Then we went for our late lunch at my fave restaurant in Malaysia -- Secret Recipe!

That is a lagsane he's having..

And that is a very nice chicken Bon Bondue or something of mine, can't rem the exact name. It has ham and cheese inside the breaded chicken. Yum yum!

We didn't take much photos on Day 1 cos we spend the rest of the day shopping and shopping.

For Day 2, we started off with the hotel bfast which was not very delicious. I feel that the variety was too little..

But nvm, it's included in the hotel package anyway, so just eat lor..

Then we took a walk around the hotel since it's too early to go anywhere. This is the swimming pool of our hotel but the pool looks too stagnant to be swam in. The back is our hotel. Just an 18 floor building.

And some shots around the swimming pool..

My dear and his fave Mauri.. Times Square, which is right behind our hotel..

Nah we didn't go into the indoor theme park. It's RM25 per person. So I tot we could do better things with the money and the time instead of playing in a theme park, which we already did in Genting..

So I went to do manicure there while my patient bf sit in the shop and wait for me!

And this is it.. Tadah!
Next destination.. KLCC.. Wanted to go up to the 60th floor viewing gallery, but the website says have to get passes to go up and passes normally get grabbed out before noon.. so we didn't go in the end.

Then it began to downpour when we were shopping.. then we waited n waited until the rain gets smaller b4 we head to Eye on Malaysia.. This is it.. Nice view at night right?

And after going to the Ferris Wheel, we head to Petaling Jaya, which is Chinatown and shop for some real cheap couple shirts.. Later at night, suppertime! At the basement of our hotel there's an Irish Pub where the ambience looks good, with live band. So we went to check it out.. It's indeed not bad!

This is my Planter's Punch, it has the taste of Sex on the Beach..Has the fruity taste.. And I'm so glad it's a glass, much bigger than the one I had when we went to East Coast..

And that ends our Day 2.. For Day 3, we didn't do anything much, just continue shopping n eating.. This is our last shot at KL, behind is Jalan Bukit Bintang where our hotel is.. it's also the street where many restaurants, shops, massage parlours, cafes, budget hotels are.. And see our shirts? It's one of the couple shirts we've got from the Chinatown there..

And that's it for KL.. Very tiring trip indeed.. walking n walking n walking.. n not forgetting the horribly hot weather.. Well but the secret recipe meals were great thou.. and the shopping too!

Oh well, my bf just booked in today and tt leaves me alone for the next 5 days or so. Think I really need a good sleep.. have been staying out late n getting pathetically little slp for the past week.. Like Sunday we went KTV with his frens till 4plus am.. Monday went for movie till 1plus am.. Wed to Fri, slept very little in KL cos should not waste time slping during a trip.. Fri had my so far longest slp of like 8 hours.. Sat went out with his frens to pub till 4plus am.. sunday (today) finally, wanna have a good slp for me! Good night!

wad to do..

2007-05-15T07:34:00.000-07:00

Wad I planned to do in KL in about 14 hours' time..

Eye on Malaysia Ferris Wheel!

KLCC!

Mani and Pedicure!

Lots of Secret Recipe!

Chinatown!

a few days of my life

2007-05-15T01:47:00.000-07:00

Over the weekend, I was out with my bf and his frens. It was a triple date lor, like 3 couples going out together. Went for dinner, then to KTV, then to pool. Yup, pretty much enjoyed myself.

Anyway, I'm officially jobless now, not even tuition. My income level is 0 now. Thinking of whether I should take up a temp office job, which is available all over the web. But if I do, I won't have time to do comm svc, which is sth I have to complete this summer. Then if I do, I won't have time to learn driving if I pass my BTT on 2nd June. If I find another tuition assignment, it'll be another long time committment which ties me down.. so..

I duno.. But my bf is very kind. My biggest worry is that I won't have money to splurge on my scrapbooking, then he say that he'll give me $50 every month to let me buy any scrapbooking materials I want..so sweet of him. Actually I know that even if I don't work at all, I won't go broke cos I've a capable and doting bf who always ensure that I have money. So.. maybe I don need a job afterall..

Ok, we're going KL tmr.. holiday again! =) Hope we'll enjoy ourselves!

Holiday!

2007-05-10T08:21:00.000-07:00

I always wanted to go to Bintan very much becos I love to go to islands to sun tan, to kayak, to snorkel, to trek, then at night, sit by the beach and enjoy the breeze and the smell of the ocean and just relax.. and as I've mentioned b4, my bf has a long leave soon but I think he prefers going to city places, so we're going KL.. Still rather excited thou cos afterall, it's still a holiday! So it'll be seeing n buying n eating.. and then seeing n buying n eating again.. eating secreat recipe as and when we like! Haha.. I love that.. And as usual, I hope we'll be taking lots of nice pictures back.. =)

a little missing in action

2007-05-04T00:28:00.000-07:00

Apparently, I was locked out of my blog account for a day, until today, I got fed up and I email the blogger support for help. It's the damn it conversion to google thing lah.. so ma fan.. so many email, username and password to rem.. arghh...

Anyway, I realise that I'm ONLY 2 weeks into my 3.5 mths of holiday and I'm already 80% filled with boredom. Well I hope next next week I can go overseas for a short holiday when my bf gets his block leave.

Out of boredom, I just keep doing my scrapbooking and nuan suggested that I should do a bigger and more proper one in a proper album for scrapbooking. But I didn't want to break my tradition of putting my photos in those 4r precious moment albums. So what I decided to do is to consolidate our Year 2 photos and put them into an album, which is the gist of our 2nd yr of relationship. Then, if I'm on enough, maybe I could do one for Year 1. Pls tell me it's a good idea..

Anyway, below are some of what I did for the week.. A bit running out of ideas liao..

And not forgetting to blog about the lovely bday card that Heidi made for me!

Then this is the mother's day present I made for my bf's mum..

It's weekend tmr! Hope it'll be a great and not bored one for me..Cheers!

An 'A' for me!

2007-04-23T03:53:00.000-07:00

I'm so glad with myself.. This is my 2nd last term in SMU and I've finally got my A. Yes this is the first, and duno if it's the last A I'll be getting in SMU. I hope not the last.. Yeah I'm never the high or even medium flyer in SMU and my grades always come in two loops or a crescent. And I'm really glad to see this A in my Vista results this time and I stared at it for really long to make sure that this is my grade. Phew.. really glad cos this A will pull my GPA up by pretty much.. Hope my other results will give me pleasant surprises as well.. =)

Hope my dear is doing well in his course, and not tortured or anything. Miss him..

2007-04-21T22:26:00.000-07:00

At my bf's house now.. it's a 3 days 2 night stay I have here. Unfortunately, his video streaming is quite slow on his laptop, so I can't watch my Mobtv here.. Anyway, we went to this Beach Cabana Wine and Bar on Friday evening which is so nice. He had beer (One whole jug all by himself)...

That was 1 mug of the whole jug.. and this is the whole jug, inside this blue tub.. The tub was really huge.. just compare the size of my bf's face to that of the tub..

And I have a pathetically small glass of Sex on the Beach which I had expected it to be of a taller glass.. but its nice lah.

A puny little glass of Sex on the Beach.. and a big mug of Heneiken..
Then we also ordered bbq grilled lamb chop and pork fillet which tasted so so so good! Yum yum.. I give the place, inclusive food, ambience, price and service 4.5/5 stars! 0.5 deducted cos of the bad toilet.. Yes I'm very anal about toilets, so their toilets turn me off.. But well, it's a place worth going..

I just read nuan's blog, she's in HK now bah, 2nd day.. hope she's doing fine and manage to get a decent accomodation of her choice. Hai.. I miss HK.. keep telling my bf tt I envy them going HK, even feel excited for them. Haha.. But the good thing is my bf told me he will be having a block leave sometime 2 weeks later, so we can go overseas.. yeah! If thailan didn't had those bombing, I would consider going there. But well, not now.. Maybe Bintan? Or Phuket? Or Langkawi? Okok.. gonna google for the next destination now..

ACTs Girls Day!

2007-04-19T06:40:00.000-07:00

It was supposed to be a belated bday celebration for me and a Shihui graduation outing for us.. but in the end, it became a girls' outing.. thou disappointing in the guys (like the way they always disappoint us), it was still a great outing with the girls! As usual!

Understand that Nuan is upset cos we didn't go to Sentosa in the end.. relax lah girl, let's plan another day and ask the girls out, only the girls, and only to Sentosa kk..

So we went to Marche at Vivo.. Yes the restaurant looks good, interior design is great... has many concepts inside lor, but the food, okok lah.. Great picture-taking place..

This is the little present Shihui got for all of us, and my bday card from all of them!
Anyway, I tot our colours look really good! No more black today! It's all yellow, red, white, orange.. so cheerful! This is another spot in the restaurant..

I hope to bring my bf here one day.. cos the place, the ambience looks really great.. But just afraid he may be disappointed with the food.. Hai..

Anyway, today I had a great day with Nuan, and maybe Grace lah.. Nuan and I were sitting at made with love and doing our albums (oh grace was running around the shop getting her materials.. haha). And it was a very relaxing 4 hours there, just doing the album, sharing ideas, sharing stories etc.. haha..hope we'll go again real soon when she comes back fr HK!

Genting Trip

2007-04-15T08:19:00.000-07:00

This is my second Genting trip with dear dear.. But still as fun.. tiring thou.. Due to popular demand of one of my blog's fan, I shall post up the pictures by tonight.. so many pictures!

We arrived at Genting at about 5am.. queue for a queue number for hotel and then went for bfast and walk around First World Plaza for like 5 hours b4 we could get a room, which is at 10am.. but well, having a good company makes the tiring and dreading waiting time go fast..

This is Lover's Bridge, with the river below, seperating a starbucks cafe from the rest of the shopping area..

This is the empty starbucks at about 7am, facing the indoor ferries wheel..

Then finally after we got our room, we went for lunch.. Pizza! Good, super filling and cheap! Yum yumm.. super supreme stuff crust and Hut's platter!

And off the the theme park we go..

Boating! Look how happy my dear is.. haha..

This is me! The slacker who hardly peddle (is this the correct spelling..) cos I got captain chia to peddle for me.. haha..

The very mini Ferris wheel at the park..So scared meh.. Pretend.. Haha..

The one behind is the Space Shot thing which I didn't dare to take just after once I took it some 6, 7 yrs ago.. too scary! Will fly off the seat..Duno why Genting has this London concept.. found all these London buses and London phone booths there..

The Genting worm train that my bf keep complaining and complaining that it's super super slow.. haha..

Some misc shots around the park.. the weather is great.. not so much fog, so most of the times, the scenes can be seen quite clearly.. some sun at times, no rain!

Dinosaur Land!

Haha.. Kokfeisaurus..

Looks like he has conquered a mountain and is looking down from the peak of the mountain..

Inside a greenhouse where its quite warm inside (cos its a greenhouse?), and there's many beautiful flowers there!

A double deck carousel!

Some beautiful night shots in the park..

Last day before leaving for the bus.. Last shot at Genting.. Byebye Genting! You are a good place to be!

And a little lucky sourvenir we got from those put a coin and spin that kind of machine.. it's a pair of mickey and minnie keychain! and they're kissing lor.. how cute right..

See.. they're kissing.. haha..
And that ends our Genting trip.. the next nearby destination I wish to go is Bintan.. some island place that's different from Genting lah.. Or Redang, my fave beach but it's so far away.. 9hours of bus ride and about 1.5 hours of boat ride.. Hai..Ok, everyone, have a great holiday!

LTB memories

2007-04-11T07:04:00.000-07:00

I am totally bored but I cant enjoy fully cos I still have a paper on Fri which my prof hasn't posted up the study qns till this time, 10.05pm.

Damn it..

And I sudden had the urge to look at our LTB video we or rather, Mich made last time. It has been almost 3 years since then, but I still miss those times.. I realise most of us didn't change much, just a little..

Nuan looked much fleshier last time, or isst just the angle of the camera? Haha, but she looks thinner nowdays compared to 3 yrs ago.. Must be the stress of SMU at work these few years

Mich's face is much sharper now and her teeth obviously changed from the wearing of her braces..

Unfortunately for Paik, his hair was better last time, those spikes.. Now the Pei Yong Jun hairstyle like flat flat one.. But similar to last time, Paik is still always not on time and always seem to be rushung here and there all the time.. haha

Ivan grew more uncle lor.. no more wearing nice shirts to school liao.. but ivan's still as fair, still live up to the name of xiao bai..

Shihui, Heidi and Grace didn't seem to change. Even their hair is similar.

Me, unfortunately I've grown fleshier, which is opposite of Nuan, which is not good. =( And I'll never keep tt kind of 'fringe-less' hairstyle again.. makes the face big! ugly..

Anyway, come to think of it, after Yr 1 Term 2, I nv did projects with heidi, nuan or Paik anymore. Luckily I got to do a few with Shihui, now that she's graduating. Well hope next term, which is the last term for a few of us, we'll get to have 1 or 2 course together and we can do a last proj together..

1 last one

2007-04-11T00:37:00.000-07:00

Last paper, finally, on Fri, then in the evening, off I am to Genting!

Compared to last few terms where I had 4 or even 5 papers, this term isn't that bad already. And even if I have 1 more paper left, I can't do anything about it cos my prof hasn't send out the study qns.. Yes, now's already Wed, 3.40pm and he hasn't send out the study qns for Fri exam! Arrghh... But he's the prof who let me take the exam 1 day earlier so that I can go overseas. soo.. I shall not bitch about him for the time being.

Anyway, next week onwards, my bf will be in camp from Mon to Fri. So my weekdays I'm super free, till the end of his course, which I duno when is that.. Hai.. So if anyone wants to go out during the weekday, just jio me!

Anyway, I got rejected from my internship, but they didn't even call me for interview or whatever. Is my resume that bad? Pissed man.. Simply put 'not offered' on OnTrac and that's it, my fate is sealed. Well that leaves me with nothing to do for these 4 mths except to complete my comm svc and hopefully I am able to, and I better do.

My Prof in the news

2007-04-07T21:20:00.000-07:00

My IO Prof in the news.. check it out..

1 year older again

2007-04-07T08:56:00.000-07:00

It's my bday today.. So fast! It seems like yesterday that I just had my 21st bday.. 1 yr older again! =(

Went to Fish n Co with family on Friday for a bday lunch..

Dear and I..

Dad and Mum.. too dark.. haha..
My sister..

Then went to Altivo on Sat with dear.. this is 1 of the place I loved to go.. the ambience is great.. a little pricey thou, I guess we probably pay for the atmosphere rather than the food lah..

This is dusk.. but it was already 7pm, still so bright..

My dinner, some chicken thing which is one of the chef's recommendation.. Ok lah, not extremely nice..

My dear ordered a $17 Laksa.. it looks good lah, with 2 king prawns that are huge.. but he say okok only..

Night time le.. Night view at Mt Faber.. the green thing at the side is the binoculars, lazy to photoshop away..

My dessert.. Jewel's Peak.. Brownie with ice cream and mango, chocolate and strawberry dressing..

When we were going to take the cable car, we walked past this 'Sky Dining Display'.. looks good eh? Nono.. not so nice one.. I think this is some Vday display or something. The normal skydining, don even have light one lor.. But is only $158 nett thou..

Then we went for cable car ride! At just $3 per person cos we dined at Altivo.. my 2nd cable car ride in my life.. haha

So happy ah...

My bday present from dear.. Anna Sui secret wish..

2007-04-04T08:41:00.000-07:00

And a Happy ending in the end.. I hope this will not happen again (telling myself)..

Time to give full attention to my 3 exams.. 6 more days to first 2 papers..9 more days to last paper.. 9 more days to Genting!

2007-04-03T09:12:00.000-07:00

I'm totally blur! My last paper is on Sat morning and I tot it's on Friday morning and this afternoon, I just went to book a Genting package which is from Fri night to Sunday night.. Arrghh! But the lucky things are

1) I realized in time
2) The paper is not a must to take, I can opt to write a paper instead of going for the exam.

But the thing is, it's a PHILOSOPHY paper! Arggh.. but the good thing is, my prof is kinda approachable. He has allowed me to do the paper (to complete a paper within like, less than 2 weeks!). And that's my biggest *phew* I guess.. at least I get things settled.. just gotta rush a little..

And anyway, my bday is in 3 days' time.. what a week!

Seriously, SMU has made my life more stressful than another other schs I've been to. Other than A Levels, I guess I haven't felt so stressful before. Not once, not twice, but I tink 5 times (5 terms in total)? Arrhh.. I hate sch..

Facing the fact that someone who revolves in my life all the time, anytime, is gonna be not so easily available anymore cos he's going to devote his weekdays to camp, tt makes me even more stressful. If only I don't have any exams, then we could go on a last holiday which is longer, before he goes back to camp.. oh well, but tt's not possible.. =(

Besides, he's been busy with his camp stuffs even b4 he gets into the camp, and also, I think he's still a little angry and unaccepting of me.. so.. it makes me feel sad that we couldn't have some last bit of proper, usual, every-day civillian life like last time together..

... ... ...

Simply hate my life now..

2007-04-01T00:48:00.000-07:00

i did it again. i was totally sad and down. i asked myself exactly why, but i couldn't come up with an answer. i couldn't stop tearing but i duno why. i feel that my heart has malfunctioned deep inside me that i don't feel for anything and anything that life is worth living for.

when we came onto this world, we were crying while pple ard us were smiling. When we leave this world, don't you think tt we should smile and depart from this world of unhappiness and people ard us should rejoice rather than cry and mourn? As many religions would preach, people are put into this world to be human to suffer and learn lessons. yes I believe so. at times in my life, there's totally nothing that i would want to live for and i would give up this life for eternal freedom from worries and troubles because when we cease to be a living entity, we cease to think, problems, worries, troubles cease to come to our mind. isn't it better than being a living sufferer? If science would allowed, we could trade our life for someone elses's. Take a meaningless life and trade with a life that is ending. Look, die with a cause. Death is meaningful. Live with a cause? Tell me what's the cause, when whatever the cause is, it still ends with a death.

Sometimes I don't wanna live simply because life is too painful and too disheartening. I once saw a movie where the lead actress said she would like to die, cos its only when she dies that she can see who will really mourn for her, cry for her and feel sad for her departure. But by the time she could really see who cares for her, it's too late to do anything cos she's already dead. But, at least she knows. Take it from another angle when she didn't die, she'll never know.

Day at the Museum

2007-03-24T09:00:00.000-07:00

Deardear and I spent a day at the museum today.. After reading a little about the newly renovated museum from nuan's blog and always admiring the musuem from the SRs in my school, I decided I shall jio my dear for a tour at the museum with me. I got in for free! Cos I'm an SESS student..

Our companion that we can listen to during our tour in the History Gallery.. Can get quite tired to listening it at times.. haha..

At the History Gallery..

I found my school in the History Gallery -- Singapore Chinese Girls' School!

An SCGS report card from the past...

It was a fun day indeed.. To somewhere which we dun really know when will be the next time we're coming since the exhibits prob wun change..But well, the building itself is really beautiful.. A nice scene to see from SESS..

Hope my dear had enjoyed himself too..

my birthday is coming

2007-03-22T07:42:00.000-07:00

For the past 3 years, I passed my birthdays with books and notes. Ever since the year I enter SMU, subsequently, I never truly enjoyed a single birthday without any worries at all, because exams are just so near. This year, it's just 2 days before my first paper. Oh well, but I still feel that I should celebrate my birthday becos it's MY birthday. This year, I intend to ask my deardear to bring me to Altivo. Not so much for the food of cos, more for the $3 cable car ride that we can enjoy. It will be my 2nd time on the cable car in my life so far.

Anyway, there're just a few things that I've been wanting but I just don't bear to buy them

1) Anna Sui Secret Wish Perfume.
- I actually saw tons of them at Sasa in HK but I nv had the motivation to buy these perfumes for myself cos I tot I would rather spend the money on other more tangible and keep-able stuffs like clothes, jacket, watch etc.

2) An LV wallet
- Which I've to wait pretty long for my bf's income to stabilize b4 I can have one.

3) A decent looking black or brown bag that I can bring to school that is 1) comfortable to carry over the shoulder 2) can match with my varying outfits as slack as denim shorts and tshirt to as formal as blouse and jeans

Really duno why I didn't get the bag when I was in HK.. A true regret..

Anyway 1 week and 1 day of school left then it'll be study week and then it'll be exams. The totof is always freaks me a little.. then I shan't think of it..

On an ending note, Happy Birthday Paik!

2007-03-21T00:45:00.000-07:00

project weeks

2007-03-13T05:36:00.000-07:00

Ok, it's project weeks again when projects come streaming in like nobody's business. You have good project mates, at the same time, you may get bad project mates too.

There're always some great project teams of yours, who are so close together, and talk and gossip so much that they get so little done under so much time. Much time have been put into team-bonding. But well, sometimes it's this bonding that you have with the project team that makes you want to do more for the team and put in a little extra effort on top of what you already put in. It's also such a team that makes you look forward to project meetings, and still keep up the smiling face althou meetings may last till almost 12am or that half the saturday is gone just for the project. It's also when after you bond well that you understand each other's way of working and each other's flaws and strengths that you exploit into these points and empower the team further. (Wow.. don't that sound so LTB)

Oh well, examples of such great teams I worked in before are like my LTB team..

My CT group..

And my current IO group..

Well, you get the good ones, you'll get the bad ones too.. I shall mention a few real sucky project groups/mates I ever had.

Sucky Case #1 - Sucky Group:
This particular uni core which I was assigned to a class that I know no one except 1 ex-classmate of mine. We formed a group with her 2 other friends. We only had 3 meetings in total for our group project, and for all the meetings, the 2 other friends of hers were always late. When I say late, I don't mean 10 or 15 min. They're late for like 1 fucking hour. And the damn reason was like, they overslept, they can't find the damn room, they miss the bus etc. Like who cares! But nvm, I just keep quiet, since they're 3 against 1. And during the meetings, they'll like chat about other things that I don't give a shit about. But neither do they give a shit about my presence there and that they're fucking wasting my time.

... ... ... That is Sucky Group #1

Sucky Case #2 - Sucky Groupmates:

Guys are unreliable, that's not a generalization sometimes. A lot of male projectmates I encounter are indeed unreliable and irresponsible. In this particular econs mod which I happily took with 3 of my other girlfriends. 2 innocent and harmless looking guys asked to join our project group and we kindly allowed. Who knows, they turned out to be monsters who don't do their work, don't bother to prepare their own parts b4 coming to meetings, expect us to do their parts for them, and then best, even MIA right b4 the proj deadline. Like, wth right! Even since, I treated these buggers as non-existence whenever I bump into them in school. Not worth my eyes to even look at them.

Sucky Case #3 - Sucky Groupmate:

This is an actual case that is happening now. Doesn't reply emails, esp when they're extremely crucial as we're discussing a time/day to meet Profs, doesn't give constructive replies to emails, simply agree with what others suggest, doesn't want to do the bit of project work by herself, always need others to do with her. Always saying things like 'I don't know anything about this', 'I never learn b4' and shove all the responsibility. Bimbo.

... ...

That gives you 3 of my sucky cases.

Evening at Sembawang Park

2007-03-10T07:54:00.000-08:00

It was a relaxing day out with my dear. We went to Sembawang Park for a jog. I'm getting old man, could hardly jog far. But nvm, supposed to be a relaxing evening, so relax jogging lor.. Haha.. And we went to a very secluded exercise station at some part of the part to play.

This is my dear, and his like, gliding station kinda thing..

And we to the foot reflexology, I could hardly walk 1m lor, but my dear keep walking and walking and walking.. He say I've some hidden sickness.. Haha.. Choy!

Then we went to the beach..

Artistic Picture #1 (taken by me)

Artistic picture #2 (by me also)

Then we went for dinner at the restaurant in the park.. the price is alright lah.. quality of food is fair.. but it's disappointing that there's no bbq chicken wing.. hai..

Lagsane (duno how to spell) and calamaris.. only the calamaris is great..

Last pic at b4 the sun sets and we go home..

The 4-Year Mark

2007-03-08T05:33:00.000-08:00

Oh well, I've just received the news of 1 of my groupmate's break up with his, 4 near to 5 yrs relationship. It brings me to wonder if the 4-year mark is really hard to get through because many of my frens ard me break up when the relationship matures to 4 years. Oh well, my relationship is a young one that is reaching 2 yrs old soon. It's still a long way to the very crucial 4-year mark, but well, it is good to wonder about such things and perhaps start to be more sensitive to the relationship at the 3 yr and 9 mth or 3 yr and 10 mth mark.

You know there are cognitive psychologists, social psychologists, neuro-psychologists, cultural psychologists and so on.. and I wonder if there are love psychologists, or relationship psychologists. I'll love to be one cos I'm really interested in looking into relationships. Like how 2 once deeply in loved people can end up seperated, what's the evolution like, are there any pre-requisites, or any DV, IV, catalyst?

2007-03-07T07:56:00.000-08:00

Discovered sth which I'm not supposed to and not advised to discover. Or should I even call it a discover, or an intended pursuit? Oh well, it doesn't exactly improve or worsen my current situation.. externally, it has improved the situation but within me, there's slight discomfort but I believe it'll ultimately be gone after some talking and straightening out of thoughts.

Discovery is good. It opens my perception and shows me new things I never knew, and sometimes enlightens me.

Finally, I love my dear and this is an unerodible fact.

A pat on my back and nuan's back

2007-02-25T06:30:00.000-08:00

One fine afternoon, I was blogging about going to VM's couple's challenge. Then nuan returned a msg on my tagboard and asked about more info abt the VM, the next thing I know, she already signed up.. and today is the day.. we went for the much awaited VM. It really made me worried for a few weeks, whether can I complete it, whether if I'll die half way or sth.. but yeah, we completed it! Shunuan and bf, me and bf.. It was 60 storeys of Republic Plaza. When I was at the 12th storey, I was already breatheless, then at the 15th storey, my bf started to drag me, then at the 20th storey, I felt the steps were going on forever, there's still a big 40 storeys more! Then at subsequent water points, I keep on taking water and tell myself that I can do it. My bf's encouragement was very comforting too. Thanks dear! And we finally made it, hand in hand. Love you baby, but sorry I couldn't go faster.. Hai..

Republic Plaza at the back.. Think its about 80 storeys tall, but fortunately, we only have to conquer 60 storeys..

Our partnering pair, Jason and Shunuan.. Competitor 6002 and 6001.

Dear and I.. Competitor 6003 and 6004..

It was a fun day indeed. And finally, let me end off with a picture of the month.. My bf playing with PSP and piglet peeping over his shoulder to see what's he playing.. haha..

2007-02-22T18:52:00.000-08:00

The day when we came back from HK, we supposed to go to Mich's place, but it's cancelled.. hai.. anyway, in the end, dear dear and I went out and I got to wear my CNY dress-like top.. haha..

New Year in Hong Kong!

2007-02-21T18:33:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year to all!

My CNY was spent in HK... It was truly a very fun and memorable trip with my bf and his family. It's eating, eating eating, walking, walking, talking, talking, buying, buying buying, seeing seeing, sleeping. Notice that there's only 1 sleeping, cos we slept really little.. time is tight, can't waste the time sleeping during a trip.. haha.. Let the pictures tell you more..

Reunion dinner at a restaurant.. The food is great!

Dear dear, me and 2nd sis..

Happy Bday Grace!

2007-02-15T05:28:00.000-08:00

It's a 20% Socio midterm paper tmr.. I haven't studied finish everything and I don't think I can do so, so just, wth.. Anyway, CNY is round the corner, so give me a break!

Anyway...

Happy Bday Grace! It's kinda bad, having a presentation of your bday.. I'm a presentation-freaked-out person, so I'll nv fancy having a presentation of my bday. But anyway, hope our little surprise did brighten up your day! We bought 3 slices of her favourite Filly or Feely Cheesecake and surprised her during our break.. Haha.. Yea and our newly-made team mates, Ho Seng and 2 Weilis joined in the fun too.. It's great that our team can work well and play well, reminds me of LTB times.. Haha..

This is the cheesecake we got for her.. it's Uncle Ivan who did the buying.. haha... only becos I sway-ly bumped into Grace and couldn't buy the cakes myself..

And this is the bday girl with her 3 slices of bday cake..

The girls of the team.. Me, Grace and Ash..

Our IO team! (Top row from left): Chen Weili, my chat-abt-bikes kaki.. Uncle Ivan, needless to elaborate more... Ho Seng, the extremely inquisitive guy who keeps asking the 3 of us endless stuffs abt girls.. (Bottom row from left): Lee Weili, my sister.. Me, Grace, the Xmas tree #1, Ash, the Xmas tree #2..

In class.. Look at Ash.. Muahaha.. She's so gonna kill me for posting this up.. Look at the pile of food next to Grace.. err... :X

Our team dynamics are pretty funny and interesting.. But that's also 1 reason why our proj meetings are fun.

1 more proj to go, peeps, and let's do it well and do it together..

Alright.. This is probably the last entry till Chu 4, the 4th day of CNY cos tmr gonna be a long long day and I'll be in HK fr Sat liao.. So everyone, Happy Chinese New Year! Collect more Ang Baos while you can (before you get married in a few yrs' time.. haha)

SMU peeps, have a good term break man! Heck those books lah.. It's CNY + term break.. Not 1 but 2 reasons to relax..

See ya pple..

It's Vday!

2007-02-14T05:17:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentine to all..

This year, my bf has got exams tmr, so we're unable to go out.. which is also good in a way. Cos it's really ex, going out on Vday if we were to eat at some nice restaurants, cos they'll prob keep those ala carte menu and force you to get those Vday set dinners.. and those restaurants will be flooded with couples lor.. it's like, so 'vday' u know..

Anyway, my first Vday present is from Ash.. A bracelet she gave me on Sat.. It's very nice! Thanks girl!

Then, my 2nd is from Grace. Thanks Girl! Other than her occassional never-ending grumbles during some project meetings and on weeks like week 6, week 7, week 13 and week 14, and her very loud exclaimation of 'oh man', which could sometimes give pple a shock, she's basically a great fren to have ard. I wish her and Yihui Happy Vday too..

All along I know the 'surprise' my bf was going to give me, so it's kinda no surprise.. so at about 8pm when I was going to begin my study for socio exams on Fri, security intercom rang and there was flowers delivery for me.. The surprise was that the bear which came with the roses, was really huge.. Here it is..

The bear bear is really very nice to hug, soft and big..

Thanks dear.. I love you.. Muack.. Yes we'll have a good time in HK in about 3 days' time ya? Hug you!

1 more day of Week 6

2007-02-08T04:38:00.000-08:00

If not for tmr's class, my spirits will be higher and mood will be better by today. Cos IO Quiz 1 is over, and althou the much-worried-for IO presentation is next Thurs, our Prof sent us an email and said that he would like to have some early CNY celebrations during class by asking us bring some CNY goodies to share, which means that the mood during tt day is gonna be quite happy and lively and not so serious, more relaxed which is good for us, who are presenting on that day.

I always hated the lesson on Fri. Basically due to the Prof. Yeah she's the one who cancelled class on that very morning at 9am (lesson starts at 830am by right), with the reason tt she's too stressed up and can't teach. Wtf right.. oh did I blogged about this b4, she actually insulted the whole class last week. She was asking for an ans fr a piece of reading tt most or all of us didn't read. And when there was silence, she said "By the way, the ans can be found in page xxx, middle of the page. It would be an insult or a mockery to you if you still cannot find the ans". Trying to say that we're stupid lah.. actually the actual fact is, half the time, no one in class is interested in listening to her or answering her super long qns that goes something like this "so what do you think is the organizational problem here and who are responsible for this problem. What can be the possible consequences for the problem and how can we control such a problem and handle the consequences?" Like HALO? WHICH PART OF THE QNS DO YOU WANT US TO ANS?! Fucking *toot*.. Oh and did I mention b4, she's ALWAYS late for class. Everytime, the whole class is waiting for her, she has nv been on time (not even talking abt being early) ever since the 1st lesson. I'll give a super truthful midterm feedback for her.

Anyway, time flies.. It's left with 1 last school day for Week 6. 8 more days and I'll be in HK liao. My luggage is already out for me to do packing. Hope to have a decent holiday and a decent rest there. S'pore is too stressful at this moment. Hai..

Anyway, ever since the day I signed up for VM, I've climbed a total of 120 storeys. 30 + 45 + 45. I've yet to one shot climb 60 storeys, but I think I've to try it soon. We can make it!

Less than 12 hrs time and I'll be in the much-dreaded lesson. Hate it.

Boyfriend musical chairs

2007-02-07T02:26:00.000-08:00

Musical chairs is a game where you keep on changing your seats and people around you keep changing right.. Boyfriend musical chairs means keep on changing bfs lor..

I've this friend right, I've know here for almost ten years, since sec sch. She's in my uni too, but I don't always see her ard, neither do I hang ard with her. But tru friendster, I update myself with her life lah. Well she had a JC sweetheart and their relationship was like on and off.. then for a period of time, she was in the papers for some stuffs regarding her bf and her. Wow, big thing right.. then months, or rather, weeks later, I saw her 'newspaper bf' and her's photos all gone from her friendster lor, all change back to her jc sweetheart. Oh well, I tot that was nice, since like, she's back with her old love. Then, months later, I see a new face and all the 'jc sweetheart' and her pics all gone, now it's the 'new guy on the block' pic all over.

Bf musical chairs huh..

The interesting thing is, all the captions she put for the photos for the bfs are like "carry me forever", "love of my life", "forever and ever" etc.. I mean, does this mean forever? Musical chairs? Err.. how many forevers are there? Then, 1 of her friend commented "another happy ending".. oh well.. is it "another"? I mean, all those past break ups ended up happily? I tot happy ending means like, get married, eternal bliss, etc.. Hmm.. maybe diff pple diff definition..

Well.. I duno if my bf will like gf musical chairs.. but I guess I'm personally not interested in this kind of game anymore.. are you?

Long week

2007-02-03T07:56:00.000-08:00

This week seems like a month.. it's so long.. so many things to do..

Last night I was at Meritus Mandarin with my bf and his family, cos it's his father's company's D & D.. but I was told not to overdress cos it's a very simple D & D, more like just a buffet dinner.. but the food was great.. Meritus Mandarin's famous for its Chicken rice right.. and I ate a whole load of that.. yum yum.. the mushroom soup is so great too.. and there's a whole big selection of desserts too! The games are very entertaining too.. haha.. ok, shall not elaborate more.. haha

Chilling outside the ball room..

Ok.. this week has been ok for me.. Next week gonna be a little not as good as this week... Lemme see..

Tues: Sci Exploration Presentation, Exco meeting.

Wed: Quiz

Hmm.. not that bad lah huh.. sometimes I'm really glad I've good frens with me in the class. Frens that I've known this the 1st or 2nd day I entered smu.. Ya, they really lighten my mood and brighten my day greatly..

2 more weeks and I'll be in HK now.. probably still outside having fun cos it's CNY Chu 1 today? Hopefully.. 2 more weeks.. 2 more weeks..

Week 5

2007-01-30T22:32:00.000-08:00

It's already Week 5.. which means that midterm tests will be coming soon.. which means that midterm break will be coming soon.. which means that CNY will be coming soon.. which means that half the term will be gone soon...

Oh man..

Anyway, last weekend, I visited Malaysia with my family. It's actually my father's company trip kind of thing.. We visited Kukup island, and it was really a super short visit, like just a 10min boat ride there, and a 15min tour ard 1 kelong there.. and tt's is Kukup island for you. The weather at M'sia is pretty cold too, surprisingly.. that's why I'm in my jacket most of the time.. And then we went shopping at the newest shopping mall in JB - Jusco. It's only the 2nd time that I've been there, but this time, more shopping and greater financial ability cos my father is ard.. haha..

And I did say that I'm currently very into scrapbooking.. yes I finally uploaded the pics of what I've done.. let me show you my materials first..

Some flowers, hearts and many ribbons..

Some round brads, wordings, safety pins and flower brads..

Some of my work..

Wish item for Vday or Bday or Anniversary or Christmas

2007-01-29T16:59:00.000-08:00

I love this.

wad's wrong with smu professors?!

2007-01-25T17:45:00.000-08:00

According to news, SMU currently has the highest school fees among all the 3 universities. We're paying some $7500 a year compared to the $6000 plus that the other unis are charging. But well, are professors really that great and worth that much more than the other unis? I personally don't think so. Other than the expensive piece of land we've built our sch on, our high sch fee is definitely unjustifiable.

Let me give you a personal experience. Last week, my sociology professor emailed us at 9.41pm the night before the day of the lesson and tell us that due to her tight schedule, lesson will start at 9am instead of 8.30am. Faithfully, most of us came at 8.30 or even 8.20, not knowing that the lesson starts late cos we didn't see the email. Nvm, she came at 9am, and told us not to unpack, cos she is not intending to hold a lesson today as she was too stressed up! Like halo?! First she delayed the lesson, next she tells us that she is not conducting the lesson, despite the fact that 90% of the class is here and ready for class. So in the end, she made the whole class come back at 4pm today (friday) for the make up lesson. So in the end, I wasted my time, travelling all the way to school at 7 plus am, go home at 9plus am, w/o having lessons cos my prof was just "too stressed up" (what a lame reason), and I've to come back another day for her lesson just because of her lame reason. So until now, which is Week 4, she hasn't even gone tru any readings at all (Week 2, 3 and 4). Accumulated readings to be gone tru is like more than 10 sets of min 6 pages each. We're having midterm test in Week 6, but she has hardly taught anything!

Next, I've a management professor, who is totally lazy. We handed in an assignment in Week 4 of the term, and he only returned it to us like in Week 14. And in Week 14, we handed in another assignment to him which has to be graded in about 2 weeks time in order for the grades to be submitted to the dean, and I believe he anyhow grade cos he has not enough time.. damn it right.. lazy prof!

This is SMU.

Our latest challenge

2007-01-24T17:35:00.000-08:00

Lovers' Challenge
This category will consist of couples scaling the building holding each other's hand all the way.

Yeah this is what we're up to..

A few nice scrapbooking ideas

2007-01-22T17:20:00.000-08:00

I'm running out of ideas for decorating my album, so I decided to surf the net for it... and there're so many..

Congrats to me and my team!

2007-01-21T22:28:00.000-08:00

Congrats to SMU Fencing Team and myself as well! We manage to clinch the Gold medal for women's team.. it was a hard and tough effort from the team to beat 3 of our opponent teams in 3 matches in a row and I guess our efforts did pay off. Everyone in the team is important as Coach always tells us. And I believe that each of his word has a significance, a purpose and probably a motive behind it and I was right. I agree that a team is not a group. A team works together but does not necessarily play together. And I guess that defines our team, and that will always be. My perspective of anything will not change and will never change. I'm rather straight. Isn't it better to be straight than to be fake. What you're unhappy at is in fact what you're unhappy at, there's nothing to hide. Your blog is your blog, there's nothing 'unbloggable' abt what you feel (unless it's some racial or politically or nationally or whatever sensitive that's against the law). If there's really sth mean or what tt a reader thinks should not be blogged abt or discussed abt, then just don't visit the blog to make yourself uncomfortable.

Anyway, that aside. Ever since my first Year taking part in the Novices, we've been winning sth in the team event. First year was a Bronze, 2nd year was a Silver and 3rd year now is a Gold.. Yeah there was some sort of a gradual improvement. But I always can't manage to get an individual medal. Always get kicked out during the quads, which is 1 match away from securing a medal. But all's over. 3 years' all I am eligible to take part in the comp. It takes a lot of hard trg and determination to really be gd enough to get a medal as confirmation of your fencing standard and I guess I don't have that much determination now, not like when I was in Year 1. But I'm still very much contented with what stuffs that drew me away from fencing. So this shall be my last comp probably, ending my competitive fencing with a golden full stop.

2007-01-17T00:39:00.000-08:00

I hate it the most when people snap at me especially when I speak to them nicely and especially when they are in the wrong.

So what if sth has happened in your family? That's none of my business and I don't give a shit to it. So what if you've lost in the comp despite the fact that you tried so damn hard for it? Hard work comes hand in hand with talents. You don't have the talents means you don't have it. Despite all the hard work, you still can't be compared to someone who had slacked for almost half a yr and who has trained much lesser and lesser than you. I didn't want to say this cos I tot it was mean, until the day you fucking snap at me for duno why. Wad's the point of individual trg when team event is round the corner, besides, does the individual trg really help for you? I obviously don't see it so. At least, the results don't prove it so.

Anyway, this isn't the first time you fucking snapped at me, but I swear that if this is isn't the last, the next time won't be a pleasant experience for u.

Novices

2007-01-15T21:22:00.000-08:00

I tot it was essential to blog about Sunday's Novices..

I just felt that the important support was not there in the first place. Unlike last year.

That apart, I was still rather contented with my performance, despite the fact that I didn't get any medal, just like any other individual event in the past, and despite the fact that this is my 3rd year in this comp. Well the fact is that I have been slacking for almost half a year b4 the comp and it was only 2 weeks of trg that I had b4 the comp. But yet I still managed to progress quite well and smooth into the game, in fact, the round robin result was my best I've ever gotten for these 3 years. Well I guess the defeat came from my psychological problem again, after seeing Hanwen being defeated by her opponent, who faced me later on. I wasn't sure I could do it cos I witnessed the defeat of my fellow teammate. And yes, in the end I didn't do it either. Ya I can only sigh.. I wasn't unhappy or anything and I guess I got used to it. Could only tell myself and my fellow teammates to focus on the team event next week instead of dwelling on the defeat that has passed.

This weekend, it'll be. I wanna get a different colour of medal from Novices each year, and it's the gold that I'm short of now. And this sunday, we'll clinch it.

Picture of the week

2007-01-11T18:21:00.000-08:00

It's the 2nd week of 2007.. and let me show you the picture of the week.. many have commented that the 2 person in the picture look alike.. well they have the same birth date and birth month.. just 22 years apart..

Presenting to you:
My boyfriend and my niece..

Love

2007-01-05T21:39:00.000-08:00

We've knew each other for almost 6 years, been together for almost 2 years. If you ask me why do I love him, I really don't know. Perhaps cos he loves me too, so I tell myself I must always love him more than he loves me. When it becomes so natural that you'll always have been by your side anytime, gotten used to him being associated with you all the time, almost everything you do, you consider about him first, any thing impt that comes to your mind, you'll want to consult him or tell him about it first, then I guess it comes to a point when he has become part of your life and it is also when you can't afford to lose him because losing him means losing a significant part of your life. So you can understand why some pple commit suicide after their significant other leave them. I'm not only talking about those young girls, but also old people. Some pple die of grief after their husband or wife pass away of old age. Die of grief? Cry to death? Isn't it sad..

I feel blessed, with each that goes past with my dear with me. Perhaps the parting when I was away in Vietnam makes us love each other and cherish each other more. Trust me, couples out there, it's good to have a short period of parting some time. (But if your bf/gf has the tendency to stray away, then beware). But it's the trust in your heart that is the most important ingredient to keep the love going. Couples are linked by the heart. If you love him with all your heart, he can feel it, even without much words or actions. If you trust him, he'll trust you as well.

Oh gosh.. why am I so... lovey dovey?

All the best to all that are in love.. May your love be blessed!

Happy New Year!

2007-01-02T16:22:00.000-08:00

I know this is kinda late, but I just got home last night.. Anyway, Happy New Year to all who've been reading my blog! Happy New Year to those who sent me 50cents smses while I was away.. Haha..

Anyway, updates.. Back from Vietnam.. It's a pretty nice place and yes, I quite like that place.. It is a country with a very rich and strong history and culture, now starting to develop itself after much hardship and destruction from the war. The girls there are beautiful.. Look very oriental and just different from Singapore girls.. Because Vietnam is quite a poor country so there're many beggars ard but they don't really rob or steal as most people have warned me abt b4 I travelled. The food is not bad, but almost every meal is the same, seafood, some veg, beef, chicken, viet springrolls, 1 soup. But its really not bad..

Anyway here are some of the pics..

Dear dear sending me off..

Arrival at our first hotel..

Taking the cyclos ard.. quite scary you know.. cos the traffic is really bad..

Ho Chi Min Mausoleum where Ho Chi Min's body is kept.. He actually lies in a bed and the bed is guarded by 4 Viet soldiers.. Very solemn and very grand..

Supposed to be the President's Residence but Ho Chi Min tot its too grand and too posh to stay there so he treat it as a place to host overseas guests..

His residence at the back.. Looks very plain and common.. Look, he's a gd leader! Doesn't mean that he is a leader and he stays in a damn posh palace while his pple suffers..

One pillar pagoda..

Bodhi Tree..

Taking a sampan ride through this Nin Minh river at Ha Long.. Fun!

2nd hotel we stay in.. at Ha Long..

Sailing into Ha Long Bay..

At Ha Long Bay, going into limestone caves soon!

These r limestones!

Visiting 1 of the 'kelongs' there.. there're fish and squids and shells are much bigger!

The famous kissing stones of Ha Long Bay.. Supposed to be 2 kissing chicks..

The night market.. the stuffs there are really cheap.. Like my sister bought one hand-carry bag for 3USD..

Supper along the roadside..

Last day.. last few pics b4 heading to airport.. Sheraton hotel where Bush stayed during APEC at the back..

And byebye Vietnam..

Merry Christmas

2006-12-25T07:04:00.000-08:00

It's Christmas! 2nd X'mas I spent with my dear.. Anyway, b4 the actual Xmas day, I went for a Xmas pary at Dawn's place.. It was really fun! Thou the rain kinda spoilt the bbq.. so there goes our bbq food.. Hai.. But well, it was fun afterall!

Then X'mas eve, we had a X'mas dinner at Fish and Co with dear and family.. It was already so so so crowded at Tampines Mall. I can't imagine the crowd in town and those idiots going for those count downs.. and those banglahs having a good time groping ard girls.. eeee....

Count down to X'mas was at dear's house, and X'mas day we slept till noon then wake up, and the day we spend slacking at Sun Plaza, drinking coffee, listening to those X'mas songs.. haha..

Cheers! Merry X'mas!

Busy, but hopefully fulfilling and umm.. enriching?

Against shot-gun marriage

2006-12-19T07:42:00.000-08:00

I'm against shot-gun marriage. I think it's immoral. Let alone flaunting about naming his/her through friendster when rom is only over for less than 2 months. Ya rom is official marriage under the eyes of law but not under the eyes of our culture. Chinese wedding is obviously necessary for moral couples.

In addition, I think it's totally ugly, unsightly and not at all memorable to take wedding shots with a tummy that looks 3, 4 mth pregnant (be it whether is there really a baby inside or not). Oh well, that's what I think. Some other people may think otherwise. May love taking wedding pic with a pregnant tummy and swelled up breasts. I know it's none of my business, but well, it's my blog. I'm free to comment.

Arrghh.. just saw a few ugliest photos I've ever seen. Can show you if you're interested. Can't blog them lah, wait kena sued..

A Christmas Present

2006-12-17T19:22:00.000-08:00

As my nick says, everyday is Christmas for me with my dear ard. Because almost anything I want to buy, he'll buy for me. So it does not take a Christmas or a Birthday for me to request for a present. Yesterday we went shopping in town and saw sth really interesting and my dear bought it for me and I declare it as my Christmas present for this year..

Here is how it looks like...

Don't know what isst still? It's actually quite small.. this is its size compared to the size of my palm..

Ok it's actually the mechanism thing inside a music box.. this one have to wind myself using the metal arm at the side and it has to be placed on a piece of wood or sth solid for the music to sound good. It came like this lor, like, bare and homeless, so my dear creatively created a metal home for it.. and this is the final present that my dear give me..

Oh btw, there're many tunes to choose.. Many Christmas tunes, but I don't lke Christmas tunes cos X'mas is only once in a year afterall. So I chose 'The music box dancer'. Still got other tunes like Love Story, Entertainer, Swan Lake etc..

Anyway, thanks dear.. it's sth you kinda hand-made for me.. And I like it very much.. Thanks!

Besides this music box, I've really been buying many things the previous week. I bought an adidas jacket, 2 tops for new year, 2 necklaces, 1 skirt, 1 bag.. ya.. and much money on meals when meeting up with frens.. Hai.. ok.. hope school open will keep me from spending so much..

2 more weeks of holiday.. a few more working days, then a vietnam trip, then school reopens, then cny, then HK! =)

some effort just don't pay off..

2006-12-14T21:28:00.000-08:00

As mentioned in many other blogs, yeah, some effort just don't pay off. Rem the much hated ethics mod that I always complain about? I admit that I really gave it minimal effort cos I really hated it and cannot click with it. Class participation which accounted for 25% of the total grade was bothering me half the time cos I never spoke a single word in class throughout the whole module. I tot I'll prob do damn badly overall cos I already obviously gave 25% of the grade away. But in the end, I did pretty well, despite the little effort given (I think I only spent 3 days studying for the final paper) and the heck care attitude about class participation and project (we only had 2 meetings).

Then, for those mods that I put in much effort, nah, I didn't get really bad grades, but grades that I feel could have been better. Like Psyc of Indi Diff, I was pretty much interested in the mod and the instructor as well cos he's a very knowledgeable and respectable prof, and I really did try to participate in class as much as I can, and try my best in my term paper and exams as much as I can. But in the end, the grade can't be compared to that of a mod that I simply don't care about.

Cultural Psyc, I think my Prof doesn't quite know the market.. or is it that my class size is too small (only 14 of us). Despite the fact that most of my components are higher than average, my grade is really low. So the distribution seems to be skewed towards the lower end.. Arrghh I duno.. should it be the case? Play us down? Hai.. I don't think I'll take her mods again..

Hai.. I would say that psyc mods are like, demoralising.. the process of learning those stuffs is fun and enriching, but when it comes to exams and release of results, it's like ........

Oh well, so maybe the gist of my blog is, to get good results, don't put in so much effort?

bored day

2006-12-12T13:06:00.000-08:00

Bored day at home.. but this rainbow brightened up my day.. just by a little..

and a closer look..

and as I was admiring the rainbow, happy was at my feet, maybe admiring the rainbow too.. so I took some pics of her too..

oh well, as you can see, she don't really know how to look good in pictures, don't even look at the direction of the camera either, so it's really quite hard to take good pics of her. But nonetheless, I still love her.. muack!

oh.. was out with cartel gang yesterday.. and we took some pics.. yeah very seldom do I get to blog so soon with photos from outings with them, cos the camera freak, kwok, SELDOM send out the photos we took.. so I decided to break this vicious cycle by bringing my own camera..

Anyway, they're all the same few christmas trees outside plaza sing..

ok I admit that I suck at taking photo, esp night portrait.. arrghh..

ok.. our day ended with the promise that we will not go to western restaurants (like cartel) or japanese restaurants (like suki) for our next meeting.. it'll be chong qing huo guo and nothing else.. yeah..

Perfume possession

2006-12-11T16:32:00.000-08:00

Let me share with you the perfumes I have which are giving me a headache cos there're just so many of them and just one me to use them..

The more branded one.. britney spears curious, anna sui secret wish, burberry brit, chanel chance..

The a little more cheap ones from body shop.. the first 3 are bday presents..

And a few samples nuan gave me.. apparently I was told that these samples will dry up if they're not used for too long, which troubles me pretty much cos I wanna and have to use them b4 they dry up..

Burberry brit, which I was told that they come in a different scent for every season. Cool right?

Then Aramis Always (which I misread as Armani Always) that comes in a scent for man and a scent for woman.

Paul Smith Floral, that I've yet to open, which I think I'll like, cos I like floral scents..

----- to be continued ------

2006-12-08T09:14:00.000-08:00

I was so free and I visited Khalisah's blog. Her life's so full of dragonboat nowadays. Ya my bf's life used to be like that too, but I pretty much like it, like Tues and Thurs meet him after his trg, thou it's just for a short while.. then sundays go to kallang and meet him for lunch after his sea trg, and go down and support occasional comps that he is going for.. even went for an overseas trip together which was rather fun as well. His db frens r really nice lah, but don't even know it they're still ard in the team.. Derek, whom I'll tong bang his car to go home, and that stupid denzel who always make fun of me, scare me fr the back etc, and phyllis, who always keep me company during comps, and mei who who is like a big sister to me, we even went to learn to make mooncakes together.. haha.. not forgetting bryan whom somehow, all his gfs are pple that I know of.. Haha.. somethings don't matter much abt the quantity, but it's the quality that matters. These pple r not my friends whom I can meet anytime, get to see anyday.. well I don't even know if I'll get to see them again, but I truly did enjoyed my friendship with them..

Some updates

2006-12-07T05:22:00.000-08:00

Ok it's update time.. I know these are kinda outdated cos they happened last mth, but I just din have the time to blog.. Ta dah! Pang's bday and Shihui's bday which I went for in the midst of exams preparations..

Pang's bday.. Pang is this guy that I know in National Camp since Sec 3, and then same CLT course tog.. And now we're known as his cartel gang with Dawn, Yvonne and the newly joined Jacky, Dawn's bf.. Haha.. Oh well, the name is simply cos we always suggest cartel for meeting venue and we'll sit there for hours.. haha..

The 3 of us..Together since Sec 1..

Then I dug out some quite old pics, but brought back many memories.. haha

This is convocation, dawn and I..

Our cartel dinner..

Then also, Shihui's bday.. it's her 3rd bday that we have celebrated for her! Hope we'll have more to come even after she graduates..

2006-12-01T01:07:00.000-08:00

It's the end of my exams.. Finally! Waiting a while in sch b4 I leave to go Yishun to meet my dear.. anyway, something really annoyed me at the end of my ethics exam today. This person by the name of May Kong, seriously annoyed and irritated me gteatly. She was sitting behind me, then at the end of the exams, we were supposed to pass our scripts to the front, so I turned back and ask her to hand up. She just ignored me and continued chewing her stupid chewing gum and looking at her stupid script which is of no use looking since time's up and we cannot write anymore things. Wad an ass! I was so damn annoyed and I just handed up my paper without giving a shit to her. Then when she think that she is ready to hand up, she slapped her fucking paper so hard on my chair. Wad a Bxxxx right! Arrghh.. Can't stand her, but luckily I won't be in the same class as her anymore. Damn her.

Back...

2006-11-29T02:39:00.000-08:00

No I'm not dead.. thou it seems like I've not been blogging for a long long long time..

Anyway, last paper on Fri for me, then I'll be on a 1 mth holiday till 3rd Jan, which will mark the 2nd last term of my uni life.. Isn't it fast?! Like b4 you know it, you're graduating soon.. Oh well, I've always entered SMU, thinking that it's such a "we are different" university.. and indeed we are.. may differently more muggery and kiasu and pia over schoolwork.. But well, I did get my bit of fun in SMU back in year 1 and only year 1.. After year 1, life's like... hai.. I don't think anyone who had graduated from SMU can say that life has been so smooth sailing and stressfree for them.. if they did, that's defnitely a fallacy... and unethical since they are saying words that are not truthful.. and probably they're pple with defensive high self-esteem who tries to affirm themselves by fending off negative feelings... err... hmm..

Anyway, its the 29 Nov today and it marks the 1 and 1/2 years that I've been together with my bf.. Keep the smiles going! Will always love you, boyfriend..

Haha.. and this is a picture that I've recently developed.. it's my dear with my little niece.. they have the same birthdate, but with an age gap of 22 years.. Haha.. the baby is extremely cute..

Ok.. 2 more days and I'll be tru.. Wish everyone luck for their exams!

It's a very bad Week 13 and a badder Week 14

2006-11-15T06:04:00.000-08:00

Hai... =( Hai... Ok 1 term paper down but still so many stuffs to be done.. Kinda only left with 1 week ++.. But.. it's still time right.. so I tell myself DON'T GIVE UP!

I'm so tired from school since I had early morning lessons today and then studying in the noon and then project meeting.. sounds like a pretty fruitful day huh.. I wanted to do my Test 2.. Ya, like a Test 2 in Week 13 when other Profs are already to beginning to collect Term Papers, Proposals etc. Wad a stupid and totally dumb idea of my Prof Tan Wxx Lxxxx (in case he googles his name and found my blog, he IS that bo liao ok!) who gave us this test assignment like in Week 13?! Totally inappropriate. Low situational judgment effectiveness! Arrghh! Can't stand him..

Anyway, rem the big bouquet of roses my bf gave me on my bday...

And yes, they're still around, but not very alive.. dry already.. the petals are falling off and falling off.. so I picked up my sister's suggestion to buy a nice box and put the petals inside.. So this is the box I bought.. yes! Precious moments again.. haha..

Then I put the petals in... Just some first.. I intend to only put them in when they fall off from the stalks.. bu she de ma..

A closer look at the petals.. dark red..Hmmm.. they looked better when they were alive.. redder.. hai... but nvmm, I still like..

Week 13

2006-11-13T06:32:00.000-08:00

It's Week 13... ok finally ethics presentation is over and ethics lessons are over for me! Phew! It's 2 weeks to exams and I gotta study really hard! It's the last 4-mods term so it's kind of like the last time for me to pull up my very bad GPA.. hai..

Anyway, I've already have holiday plans.. Dec I'm going to Vietnam and Chinese New Year next yr I'm going to HK! Oh well, the trips are kind of like fully sponsored, so no worries abt the costs.. muahaha.. so I gotta study hard now to enjoy hard later on!

2006-11-11T00:01:00.000-08:00

an obession with precious moment

2006-11-08T20:58:00.000-08:00

I think I have a serious obesession with Precious Moments stuffs.. I have been putting photos of my dardar and me into these albums.. and so far.. I have completed 2.. every 1 year we're together will take up 1 album.. but 2nd year, so far I'm planning for 2 albums, cos many many photos..

These are the 2 first albums that I have completed..

Then I bought another 2 more even b4 I finished the first 2..

Then I have a sudden urge to get another one.. so I bought another one on Tues..

I'm just kinda afraid that these albums get sold out because they only come up with a few designs a year.. so if this yr's designs, I've bought all, then I've to wait for next yr, which is like so long.. Oh well, I'm simply love them..

wad is happiness

2006-11-06T18:15:00.000-08:00

Happiness is basically doing what makes you happy..

For example during Week 12 ie normally the hellish week of sch..

Not going for lessons when you don't feel like..

Eating a whole tub of Ben and Jerry ice-cream although you know that will definitely make you fatter and cost u damn a lot of money..

Sleeping till noon time and wake up when you finally feel like..

Watching movies, shopping and buying things, chilling out, and doing anything except studying over the weekends..

Not going for project meetings if you don't like the group members..

Surfing on yahoo auctions and bidding for anything and everything that you like..

and so on..

and so on....

Ok this sounds pretty harmful.. but it's ethics lesson now.. I hate ethics lesson!

Thanks to my fren..

2006-11-02T05:01:00.000-08:00

Shunuan is such a great fren. I know she has tons of stuffs to do, but whenever I asked to meet her to just talk, as long as she doesn't have lessons, she'll meet me. Must tell her that, I really felt better after talking to her.. Thanks for your time girl!

Anyway, I did follow her suggestion to do something.. but it's something I truly regret. I return home in tears and I've nv gone home feeling so disappointed in myself b4.. but well, yes shunuan, at least I have done what I could have. Shudn't be disappointed in myself thou..

Unappreciated..

Oh well.. whatever bad things that have happened today, I'm simply glad that tru these bad stuffs, I've seen a true gd fren, not as if I didn't know she has all along been a great fren, but I realise more the goodness of her after these..

hate it

2006-11-01T17:19:00.000-08:00

I truly dislike, or rather hate it when people pull out last min. Be it whoever it is.

It's a true waste of my time searching for cinemas all ard and looking for the best time slot that could fit us so that we could go and watch a damn movie. True waste.

The t word ends here. And I think, it hasn't been there ever since the last time you betrayed it.

I don't think anything matters.. because afterall, I don't matter much.

Our 1 day out!

2006-10-28T08:54:00.000-07:00

It's a very busy day! Tiring thou.. but fun!

First we went to Sakura for buffet.. yumyum.. We had oysters, salmon, sushi, baby octupus, steak, dory fish, chicken chop, tempura, dim sum, cheesecakes, guilin gao and almost whatever else you can think of.. haha..

And this ika duno wad tt I took.. it's some puny little grilled fish that I wanted to show you all.. pretty nice thou.. haha..

Then we went to Vivo city that was so damn crowded man! Oh well, the very huge mall didn't really interest me much, thou I tot it might. Too many people, too many shops, too many things.. information overload.. So we change track and went to Sentosa. Wanted to just walk in but the walkway is closed. Damn! Then we had to like walk all the way to the bus interchange to take the damn bus.. Arrghh.. Anyway we took many many pics there.. heehee..

In bus..

Then we went to Palawan beach.. the pics remind me of tt time when I had a 3 days stay with my LTB frens and we go all ard to take pics too.. fun!

My dardar walking in front, holding our flops..

The usual bridge photos..

Ok this is funny.. I wanted to snap a photo of myself and dardar behind. Then dardar keep saying behind got pple, let them cross first.. So I wasn't looking at the camera when I snapped it.. so here was how it looked like.. haha..

And the intended picture.. haha..

A more romantic pic.. ahaha..

Taking a break at the Kou Fu there b4 setting off again..

Some nice night views..

Heehee..

Last pic b4 we leave the island.. And you can see the time..

Okie! Glad at the number of gd pics we took.. I put pics in albums mah.. so helps to fill up my albums.. heehee..

Picture of the Year..

2006-10-27T08:23:00.000-07:00

I've found the Picture of the Year.. Here it is...

Issue of trust

2006-10-25T06:11:00.000-07:00

I was thinking about the issue of trust.. Oh well, you know, management modules always talk about corporate trust, like employee-employer trust, consumer trust, etc.. So what about personal trust?

Would you trust that your best friend will not betray your trust when you told her the biggest secret in your entire life?

Would you trust that your friends will not talk behind your back?

Would you trust that your bf/gf will not lie to you at all?

Would you trust that you bf/gf will not leave you the next day after promising you a forever love today?

Would you trust that if he/she really loves you, he/she will return to you even after a long long break up?

Would you trust that the people ard you are telling you the truth and nothing else less than that?

Would you trust that what's going on ard you is real and really actually happening, like eveything is not a dream?

Would you trust that it will really be ok in a crisis when you know that it'll definitely not be ok?

Umm.. would you trust that Profs grade students fairly and professionally?

Oh well, it makes me realise that sometimes it's pretty good to live in a little deception.. Like telling yourself its ok to give yourself a break from studies when you know that it is not ok? Like eating supper late at night and saying that Hey, once in a while! And many many more deceptions.. Hai.. oh well.. sometimes..

A sleeping problem

2006-10-22T08:23:00.000-07:00

Didn't know my dardar pays attention to my blog and he told me I haven't been updating.. OK! Shall update now..

I have been losing sleep lately, like, not able to slp.. argghh.. so I tot of using aromatheraphy.. so one evening when I was at dear's house, I told him abt it, and immediately, he rode me to sembawang sc to buy it.. haha.. I love it.. I put it at the head of my bed..

This is how it looked like in the dark..

This is how it looks like in real..

Hmm.. it really helps in calming me and getting me into slp better.. believe it or not lah.. so I pretty much like it.. Haha.. Thanks to dear who bought me this..

Anyway, I spent the weekend at dear's place.. gotta say sorry to him for not allowing him to slp the whole night cos I keep tossing and turning and moving.. Hai.. sorries! Muack!

2006-10-16T01:13:00.000-07:00

Sth made me really hmm.. happy? Interested to know wad is it, you can msn me and I'll show u.. Haha..

My visit to the NUS library

2006-10-14T16:38:00.000-07:00

Rem I said I've to make a trip to the very far NUS lib? Well it isn't very far lah.. the bus ride was pretty fast.. The sch's so big! Ok this is not the first time I been there, but its the first time I really got to experience the bigness of the school. Oh well, I still prefer smu thou.. But 1 thing about their lib is that, its so quiet! It's 100% diff fr smu.. smu lib's pretty noisy I feel.. Anyway, I finally got to see how 'journals' look like.. I'm not sure if smu has these hardcopy journals, but I don't see them ard.. I thought journals were only ejournals, downloadable from the lib e-resources.. But ta dah! They actually come from hardcopies! This is how the journals look like..

There was a whole section on journals, think they have millions of such things kept there..

And after photocopying what I needed, I still had some time. So I sat down and tried to do some reading.. This is a cosy corner I found..

Then I saw a very hardworking ang moh.. Hmm.. not sure if he's an exchange student, but if he is, he seems like a much more hardworking exchange student than some of those we have in smu..

Haha.. just some of my discoveries at nus.. But I personally preferred the location of smu.. but not quite the people.. Oh well, maybe the people fr nus don't differ much fr those in smu.. hmmm..

Anyway, midterm break is gonna end.. damn..

midterm break?

2006-10-11T20:48:00.000-07:00

I think many things are running tru my mind..

First, it's really great to have frens who read your blog and ask you about things penned down in your blog. Example of such frens I have are like Nuan, Michele (thou she's not in S'pore now) and occassionally my Ncc best pal, Dawn. Oh well, really appreciate that effort to read my blog and find out abt wad's going on in my life.. =)

Anyway, didn't I say that we were supposed to be going KL during my midterm break? But unfortunately, my bf's sch starts a week earlier than the expected date, so we couldn't go to KL or anywhere anymore. =( No I don't really blame him cos it's not his fault anyway, but I just feel pity and kinda disappointed.. Hai..

But well, since he started sch earlier, his sch will end earlier too. And this falls nicely on the CNY week. So which means that we can stay in HK for longer period. Oh well, that's the good side. But the good side takes like another 4 mths to come into effect.. and that's really long long long..

This midterm break, I can't say that I'm slack, althou I don't deny that fact that I don't have any single project meeting at all.. But I've been reading n reading n reading at home. The only word to describe this chore is "SIAN". I've to read journals and journals for my 2 Pscy mods.. arrghh.. and I've to make a trip to the very far NUS tmr to get 2 articles fr their lib which our lib does not have and which my Prof insist that I get them and read them. arrghh.. anyway, this Prof is happily away on holiday now while I've to make my trip to the very far NUS and read those stupid articles.. sometimes I lose my patience I must admit.. becos there're just so much to read! That's 1 reason why I start to dread studying.. DREAD..

But this midterm break has made me fitter too, which the gym appointments that I've been having with my ACTS girlfrens.. Its a gd activity, keeping fit, staying healthy and at the same time, chat, gossip, updating about each other's life..

I've also started on my individual termpaper which initially got me a big headache cos I duno wad to write for it.. But now it's much better since I've found my directions and even started on it!

And btw, I do get sleepless when I couldn't figure out things. Like when I was bothered over individual paper, research proposal, ethics class participation etc, I really couldn't slp. But I guess I've to take things easy and slowly figure things out 1 by 1 and step by step lor..

My previous workplace asked me to go back to work cos they're opening a new outlet at Vivo City and they need pple. Oh well, that means a portion of my time taken away. I was quite hesitant, but after considering the fact that my bf has sch now and he doesn't really have time for me, I think I'll just go back to work and earn some money..

Sometimes pple get used to things.. and I think I've gotten used to not having certain things. Well afterall, if you try and you keep on don't get it, one day you'll finally quit right.. Hai..

Well my ending phrase as usual: Sch sucks..

2006-10-07T09:02:00.000-07:00

My tireness degree is like 98%.. still struggling to watch TV and talk to dardar on msn at the same time.. midterm break has started.. yeah! I always here this on radio during those midnight program, "I feel like listening to radio, surf net and eat cup noodle at the same time".. Hmm and I tot its quite a good idea, maybe can try one of these days during break..

Anyway, mid autumn isn't as fun as last yr.. this yr quite sian..there's the haze, cant even see the moon.. we just played lanterns and candles outside my dardar house with his family. They even set a table outside and his mum cut mooncake and make tea for us some more.. haha.. not bad eh..

Today I slacked for the whole day.. intend to start my 101 things tmr liao.. all the assignments, projects, individual papers and stuffs.. argghh.. don wanna think abt it..

Oh did I mention.. on thurs I went JB with my dardar n his frens.. pretty good trip. We went to this beach restaurant where we can see sembawang opposite our eating place.. the food is umm.. not bad lah.. the black pepper crab is great.. dardar loves the tofu.. hmm.. the black pepper crab is still the best.. yumyum.. My LTB pals, next time we can go there.. but its a real long trip there.. like 45min.. But the good food is worth the long journey la.. haha..

Busy weekend...

2006-10-01T18:27:00.000-07:00

It was a very busy weekend! Anyway.. photos from last last week.. we took some pictures of our bike.. Here it is..

Then we went chalet for the past weekend..It's Mama's bday, so we had a celebration for her..

Playing cards before his family arrives..

Our same adidas outfit.. it's our fave brand!

Our very tall beer!

Big sis and Richard..

Dear and his big sis..

Outside our chalet, 1330, with his siblings and bro-in-law..

At the mainhall of the resort.. it has been greatly renovated.. nice!

Dardar and sisters..

There's Ben and Jerry's there! Yum yum..

Then after chalet, we went for my little nephew's bday.. This is at my cousin's condo..

2006-09-23T21:37:00.000-07:00

I'm tired.. Last time dardar and I were out till 4+ am.. We went to play pool and then went to the HongKong Cafe at Kovan there for supper.. Hmm.. the first time I went there, the experience was bad bad bad.. but this time is not bad.. maybe I ordered the wrong food the other time. We sat outdoor, its not bad lah, cooling.. I ordered a curry and a Mango ice to share.. This mango ice is 1 of the 4 heavenly king as stated in the menu ok..

Hmmm.. ok, can give is 7/10.. can try lah..

Oh well, after a night of fun, tmr gonna start sch again.. hai.. yes I'm pretty stressed up for sch.. but well, life still has to go on.. =(

2006-09-19T23:34:00.000-07:00

When you're unhappy, maybe one the of best ways to be un-unhappy is to think about the past good times, and possibly the future good times that are to come.

Really unhappy over studies. My GPA is so low because I've earned about 3, 4 C+ here and there through the terms. I seldom speak in class cos people ard me are just so smart, I'm just afraid to embarrass myself. I'm not an intelligent girl, from the fact that I'm from YJ, you can see. People ard me are all from top JCs, how am I to compare with them in terms of exam results? I'm not beautiful or gorgeous, and thus I'm not able to earn any little more marks during presentations. Neither am I a sociable creature who is able to rope in the 'dean's lists' students or those RJC kids, or those super high GPA brains into the same project group as me. Ya I think I'm full of probs, maybe I should write to Aunty Agony soon.

Oh well, but at least I try to make myself feel better. On a happier note, I'm glad that my relationship is not giving me probs currently. I mean really currently like now, at this very moment. So, *phew*..

Anyway, I decided I'll blog about those times that I was happy in the past.. for myself to feel happier by a bit..

My best frens in sch.. we were very happy back then.. These were taken before our last LTB lesson..

Some of our random outings.. we had a 1001 pictures!

And happy times with my dear..
Genting..

Other moments.. we've a 1002 photos..

I must admit that I was really happier in Year 1, and I don't know why.. I guess Heidi had the same sentiments as mentioned in her blog.. Not that I'm not happy now.. I'm only happy when I'm out of school zone, when I'm with my dardar or with frens.. Oh well, I used to be happy even in sch back in Year 1.. Hai.. =(

Going to HK!

2006-09-18T03:26:00.000-07:00

Dardar and I are going to HK during Chi New Yr! Oh well I hope all go well.. Yesterday I went for steamboat with his family and his eldest sis and I were talking abt HK trip and we got so excited! We'll fly on CNY Eve and we'll count down to CNY over there.. Gonna be my first CNY overseas, with my loved one some more.. =) Although its like still long, another 4 more months, still got exams, projects, Xmas, New Yr etc to go, but I'm still excited and I can't wait.. =( But ya, it's still long.. My mum has took out the winter clothings for me already cos she don wanna take it out again next yr.. Haha.. I hope we'll have a good time.. and I hope everything goes well.. I hope dardar will always hold my hand there cos I'm very scared of cold.. And I will try the smelly tofu.. And we'll take many many pics! =) Anyway, many activities ahead.. This Fri gotta accompany his 2nd sis to hospital cos she's undergoing an op for her tooth.. Then next weekend is his mama's bday chalet.. Funtime for all of us! Then next next week maybe we'll going to KL for a short holiday.. =) Hope all go well lor..

Making mooncakes!

2006-09-13T21:56:00.000-07:00

Did mention I went for mooncake making lessons right.. then on sunday, I made some at home again..

Some dough that looks yucky.. but it'll turn out to be nice when baked ok!

The plastic mould (is this the correct spelling?) that I bought which is not as good as wooden ones..

Green tea paste and it costs so ex! But it's very nice..

And now the green tea pasts becomes like this..

So the yucky dough plus the green tea paste plus baking, becomes these.. yumyum..

Here they are! Haha.. made by me!

bored in class, ethics class

2006-09-11T02:58:00.000-07:00

I'm bored in class.. the prof is going tru some stuffs that doesnt affect most of us at all cos we're not going for that video conferencing thing.. and he's going to go on and on for like the next 45min.. =( 80% of the people in my class is not listening either, how do I know? Cos I'm sitting at the last row and people in front of me are msn-ing, checking email, etc..

I hate ethics class cos its so boring.. and scary too, cos he calls on people..

Anyway, I'm really feeling sick of some people that I used to be interested in. No it's not my dardar, I still love him. Just some groups of people. From the day that they planned some unethical alliance to do sth to someone, I really got disgusted by them and till now, I am still disgusted by them. But hai.. since I'm ending uni soon and I don't devote as much time to these people as I used to, then I think I'll just "whatever", just don't care much...

It has been a quite a long time since I last met all of my ACTS frens. Missed 1 or 2 in our previous few meetups. Hmm.. really couldn't rem when was the last full attendance.. =( Now that Mich is away, maybe next year then we'll get full attendance? Hai..

My dardar has been looking up for flats. I wonder what's he up to.

Anyway, I really enjoy my time with him and his family. We go to eat dim sum early in the morning, go for regular dinners, go baibai at some temples etc.. I didn't used to like his sisters, but I guess that was due to lack of time being together. Now more close already, they're all pretty nice. Just like big sisters to me lor. I love their bro, their bro love me, they love me too, and I love them too.. eee.. Haha..

Oh anyway I went for some mooncake making lesson.. will post up pics soon.. ya I know how to make mooncakes now.. heehee..
