Brownian Motion

Smoke particles are observed to be moving around haphazardly due t0 random collisions btwn surrounding air molecules.

I thought I was right about visiting the pool on a hot Friday afternoon. Never did i recall today is PSLE Oral Exam and all children from P1-P5 are having their school holidays. Brownian Motion in the pool man. And first I missed the 72 that takes me to the pool, and the nxt 72 took freakin' long to come. Grr. So I decided to walk home after the swim instead of waiting for a bus to come. Guess how was i feeling when I was crossing the junction further ahead, I turned my head and I saw 72 at the bus stop. So near, yet so far. Wahs... #%%$$$#$@

My printer failed on me...Apparently the dunno-wad-belt of the printer just went out of it gear, or sth along those lines. And I remember me taking great lengths to get my printer ink cartridge being replaced after a wrong delivery of the cartridges to my house. To sim Lim, and then to NUS Bazaar, took me a total of 3mths of waiting to get my cartridges exchanged for the right one. And suddenly school starts, printer snapped. Great. ^&$$%#$#@

I am speechless. Wad a day.

A glimpse back to NDP...for yuxin and joyce.

Sea of red, everything was great...

Side track... and last yr's ndp: NDP 2005


Not too bad, I have 2 great friends to accompany me for the occasion on 2 separate years. :)

Friday, August 11, 2006

Decided to upload the random pictures that I have taken using my hp.. lets see which shall be the first one... ----> my mum got home from the market one day and asked me to guess what is that thing below that she has bought. In a rocket shape, its actually a super glue. Haha.. Unscrew the the blue part, u'll find a real sharp needle, unscrew the orange part, use the needle to poke the opening and the glue goes flowing... overflowing to be exact.

----> using dunno-what technology.. u can now print pictures and words on flower petals. Up leh... thou i think its nicer and more natural without the printing.. Its like... if the flowers uses their petals to breathe, which luckily they dont ( i think?), they'll suffocate with all the printings!

---> even the cacti werent spared..


---> yah, i like the red one.

I have been acting like the whole world's against me, irritated by the slightest-ever things i have seen, or i have heard. I decided to make peace today.

Whee~ How i love having Cailing and Weijie as IC, had good colleagues at work today.. Made the 9.30am - 7.30pm shift seemed shorter than its supposed to be. Had free Mac's nuggets and BK's cheesesticks today, courtesy of Weijie & Kenneth.

its not everyday tt im so im-chim

I swear I would have taken a picture if my phone's camera is silent, or even better, at a better resolution. 7 obasans dressed in bright colours, sitting opposite me, fanning 7 flowery-colourful fans away synonymously(great, how do i spell this.), in 1 direction, chatting away( and conversation btwn the 1st obasan and the 7th obasan when they are sitted in a row!?)... I thought it was a rather hilarious sight.

Got me quite irritated when I was trying to concentrate on Blink, even the music from my earphones couldnt cover their voices. Grr.. Imagine 7 colourful things in continous simple harmonic motion at the corner of your eyes while you are trying very hard to understand like what Blink is trying to say about Paul Van Riper and his war strategies?

I think I am in a grumpy mood today. Woke up first thing in the morning is to complain about the lack of creativity in daily's breakfast. Showered, made my way outta home to nus, to board on a train ride made worse not only by 7 obasans but also da da da da da da.....
Shall spare those da da da da da da..
Guess everything that happened on the train ride would just slip through the corner of my eye or find them less irritating if I had woke with a good mood.
I cant believe it, tell me im crazy.
I am in a : great! since you say so, I ve got nth to say - kind of mood.

'nuff said.

"there is no such thing as an inner child. Its all outer" - Helena Bonham Carter

We all go wow-ing/wah-ing/ah-ing at the fireworks in the night sky. Little girls and boys held their breath in amazement, dont we too?
We talked and laughed about spongebob squarepants cartoons and go all silly taking photos with handphone cameras under poorly illuminated conditions.

How long have u not let the child out of you?

*grinning from ear to ear*
Ah, hanabi ga totemo kirei desu!

Happy Birthday eleen!

[edits] did i mention im going Jurong Birdpark with my hall neighbours? thank you xiaoli for organising... Whee~

his kate, her alex

Caught Lakehouse last night @ The Cathay with joyce, yuxin and mr. sudoku, as yuxin puts it, or Mr. anonymous. Haha.
Anyways, I am a little too excited on my last day of work and is currently suffering from abit of verbal diarrhoea so bear with it.

Lakehouse was pretty much a quiet film. Be sure you are feeling very awake the time when u decide to watch it because its pretty quiet, pretty slow, i guess its suppose to conduct a very romantic atmosphere. Generally, the twist which is also the climax towards the end of the show came rather unexpected. Thou yuxin and I correctly predicted that the guy in the accident was Alex, I dint really expect that he ll live through it. I thought it will be sad show where the guy just dies in the accident, the girls goes on with her life alone.

This extrapolates to a song that I recently noticed that has been playing in the ipod. Or rather it just suddenly dawn upon me to check on the lyrics, that good ol' familar song, Tell Laura I Love Her. I swear I dint know it is a sad song. Tommy and Laura were lovers.
Tommy din survive the car accident, unlike Alex.

Tell Laura I Love Her
( Ray Peterson )

Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents,
But most of all, a wedding ring

He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollar prize it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother, Tommy said

Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I've something to do, that cannot wait

He drove his car to the racing grounds
He was the youngest driver there
The crowed roared as they started the race
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace
No one knows what happened that day
Or how his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath, they heard him say

Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die

Now in the chapel where Laura prays
For her poor Tommy, who passed away
It was just for Laura he lived and died
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry

Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die

Is Daniel Powter's Bad Day suppose to be a sad song or angry song or what? I know it always leaves me feeling very happy after hearing it. I must be waiting for today to come for ages, during the outing yesterday, I keep thinking that it was Friday already. Haha, until Joyce say I must be thinking of last day of work think until crazy liao.

just recieved a call from Laoban helping him advertise. Anybody in the pharmaceutical industry wans to take up a sales position in Lighthouse? Got lobang.

Saw xinijia's pictre at friendster which was taken at the zoo! I wan to go! This time not to the zoo, haha last yr went liao. This time i wan to go Jurong Birdpark. Saw from the news that they did some renovations and looks different now. Anybody wans accompany me go Birdpark? Last time i went was when my sis in K1 leh... had to join some drawing contest. Haha.. is Jurong Birdpark in Jurong?

Hiccups Causes
-Many conditions are associated with hiccups, but none has been shown to be the cause of hiccups.
-If you eat too fast, you can swallow air along with your food and end up with a case of the hiccups.
-Any other practices that might irritate the diaphragm such as eating too much (especially fatty foods) or drinking too much (drunk people hiccup) can make you prone to having hiccups.
In these instances, your stomach, which sits on top of the diaphragm, is distended or stretched. Because they occur in relation to eating and drinking, hiccups are sometimes thought to be a reflex to protect you from choking.

Maybe because i was eating too fast, maybe I almost choked on the green chilli, maybe fried rice is too fatty.

Justin Timberlake's Seniorita makes u moooooove.Guys, good night. Ladies, good morning.

I say, I miss being sandwiched between xj/ms room and the guys room.

Notice 20060803

20060804 will mark the last day of work for me at Lighthouse! Today is my 2nd last day! I am so glad that I will not be bugged by the handphone alarm every morning at 7am and be stationed at work from 8am to 5pm having pretty much nothing to do! Woohoo, do you sense the euphoria?

Side-track a lil, I have a few places to visit nxt week.
i) Visit the dentist. Haven had my 6 monthly dental checkup yet, supposed to be due in March! Confess! Who haven had their check-ups done since school doesnt provide any more of those services? Wahaha
ii) Visit the hairdresser. My fringe irritates me.
iii) Visit the optometrist...I need a new nice pair of specs.

Sorted out the company's mail this morning and opened a letter from HSBC that states the following:

Dear Sir/Mdm,
Thank you for choosing HSBC and using our FX Spot transaction service. As a token of our appreciation, please find a pair of movie tickets from us enclosed.

"Hey, boss can u let me have the tickets?"
"No problem, just take it"
*yay* I am glad i just thick-skinned and asked about it instead of slotting all the mails into his pigeon hole. An estimation of the amount of things he has in his in-tray, I guess it will take eons for him to realise there are 2 complimentary movie tickets sitting in his tray.
*yay* self-claimed farewell present, I am lil teeny-weeny happy, but I haven decided to utilise them on which movie yet and with who. I ll see whoever comes along. :)

I must be in a pretty good mood lately. Had my 2 previous posts all ending with :).

betterlatethennever

To post this entry was not in my to-do list after the HK trip since majority of the readers of this blog are also readers of lijuan's & yuxin's blog (++ yuxin's got picture while I may or may not upload them when I reach home and have the pics at my disposal.. Lol I am very lazy..) But then.. I guess it ll be different to read my own entry like mths/yrs later..

So here it goes:

Day1 (Sin - HK)
Met up at 4 plus in the morning and headed towards the Changi Aiport. Took off at 6.40am and reached HKIA at 10.20pm. Bought our Airport Express tickets to Kowloon station before taking a cab down to YauMaTei where our hotel YMCA Intl House was situated. An interesting note, the taxi's meter jumps at irregular intervals and one jump is $1.40. So weird hor, why dont jump like 50cents since Sg's taxi meter jumps at 10cents interval and the exchange rate is like 1:5 approximately. Check in time for hotel was 2pm but we requested for the 2 rooms to be on same level and hence need to wait till 3plus. Meanwhile, we had our luggage deposited in the hotel while we started our eat-buy-eat-buy journey.
Had our first lunch in HK in a small eatery near our Hotel. Or maybe 90% of HK's are small. But they are like what we say: Ma Que Sui Xiao, Wu Zhang Ju Quan. I had chicken wings and minced pork rice ( I think the amount of pork I ve eaten in HK surpasses the amount I ve eaten from Jan 2006-20Jul2006 lol. Abit kua zhang... But u know what i am getting across). Was quite salty but quite nice also. Had a bad ice lemon tea, despite our efforts to make it taste better by squeezing lemon tea and puting sugar, it still tasted bad.
Went walk walk see see at Trendy Zone before heading back to hotel.
Checked-in to our room and I was quite pleased with it. Better scenary than what I had in West Hotel 2 yrs ago. Abit more spacious also.
Continued with eat-buy-eat-buy at the Tsim Sha Tsui area. Boarded the mtr and went to the Espirit outlet. Bought 3 tops. Moved on to Avenue of Stars and we were in time for the Symphony of Lights. Was basically a laser show coordinated with music and lights from tall buildings between the HK Island and Kowloon. Was pretty.
Went for dinner and had Ping Pong Wanton Mee. Liked it and is the 2nd time i eating it liao. Followed by roasted "er" and charsiew. Fatty oily and sinful. But i tink its supposed to be its plus point but i took it as the minus point.
So much for the first day and we ended by shopping at Ladies Street. Bought a bracelet, lol was an imitation from Tiffany & Co. Slept at close to 3. Oh forgot to say we had nice desserts and Xu Liu Shan.

Day 2:
Woke at 7 plus to have Dim Sum. Walked all the way from Yaumatei to Jordan to Tsim Sha Tsui's Granville Road. Was supposed to be a shopping district flooded with fashion shops and shoes and accessories blah blah blah.. But we bought nothing.. Oh yah, but before reaching Granville, I bought a Coca-cola teeshirt. Veh nice I like it. Had some kind of tze char kind of food at Ashley Road. Not too nice cos very oily. Imagine Mee Hoon soaked in oil, with some salty fish taste and very very fresh chicken bits. Haha.
Was too late when we finished lunch. So had a change of plans to visit Causeway Bay @ HK island instead of going Disneyland.
Causeway Bay was a lil different from Kowloon, guess its a little brighter, with more people, more "up" more tall buildings and busier. Went Sogo but bought nothing. Just see see since its supposed to be landmark of Causeway Bay.
Went to sit "Dian Che" (those buses hooked with wires on top). Had a good view of HK's messy+busy+interesting streets. Quite an experience lah cos Sg's no longer had dian che.
Proceed to Central to get our Peak tram tickets up the peak. Had quite some difficulty locating it but we found it finally. The peak tram was quite an eye-opener too but I tink the journey is too short liao. But Sg's bukit timah hill or mt faber dont have trams that go up mah. Haha.
Up the peak was a feast for our eyes. Pretty scenary but the air is lil polluted. Snap snap snap, took alot of pictures.
Took a taxi down the peak... turn ah turn ah turn ah, had a lil motion sickness after that.
Had our dinner at Da Kwai Huo, HK's mini version of Sg's typical foodcourt.Shared Pork Baked Rice with yx and thats the first complete phrase of canto i spoke in HK! Pork Baked Rice = Gok Ju Pa Fan. Was quite proud when i said that. :)
Rushed to watch Aqua Fantasia pyrotechnic display beside the Clock Tower. Was very nice.. Coordination with pyrotechnic lights, music, water fountains, and fireworks.
Went to Temple Street Miu Gai. Saw a street full of fortune tellers... So qi guai a sight. Dint buy anything from there, is really a Men's street, all the stuff dont interest me.
Shagged when i laid down on bed at 3 plus again.

Day 3:
Woke at 9 to have a late breakfast. Had HK's Po Luo Bao + Not nice coffee.
Headed straight to Disneyland. The mtr to Disneyland was decorated with nice disney bronze statues had we had fun snapping our cameras away. Oh the mtr tickets and disney admission tickets had nice pictures on them and we get to keep them. :) Was zhun zhun in time for their disney parade. Feels abit like Chingay replaced with all the disney characters. Had nice pictures taken. Then we queued up 1 hr for a go-kart like ride but turns out to be very kiddy. Just step on the acccelerator and it will go, no need to turn stirring wheel. No need to change gear/step brakes and it will follow the tracks and move by itself. Its called autopia.
Took a Fastpass for the Indoor Roller Coaster Space Travel, meaning we can come back like 3 hrs later and use the fastpass to jump queue so no need queue so long. Meanwhile had our pictures taken with Pooh, Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy. Space Travel was thrilling, forgot to mention. Then we queued for another 45 minutes for some Pooh Storyteller ride. Did a video on it.
Went to Tarzan's adventureland just 1/2 hour before the fireworks closing and heng heng theres nothing much to see. Bought a few disney souvenirs in disneyland.. Haha wasnt too tempted by the disney chracters to buy their merchandise. Even thou they were cute, but not my type.
Disney closing fireworks was abit disappointing. Just plain shooting with disney backgrnd music and with the castle view.
We were all amazed that we didnt eat anything since breakfast. Oh and disneyland's sun got me burnt and was all full from gulping alot of water to replace water loss through perspiration.. Sun was very strong.
Had Claypot Rice in a shop that was recommended by travel guides. Was at close to 1am and we were the last customer. Had sotong that was very crispy and fresh and the claypot rice could have been better if they were not packin and closing the shop while we are still eating. Felt abit the stress.
Back to hotel.
I had the most amount of money left amongst the 4 of us till then.. cus i spent the least in disneyland.

Day 4:
Had Hk's chang fen and hum chim peng and you tiao and porridge for breakfast. I tink is the best breakfast in 4 days. I tink dim sum was not as good as this. Haha. Chop chop check out of our room and walked to Mongkok area. Did the most shopping today: Perfume at Sasa, 2 Disney Polo Tee at Giordano, 2 bags, You Zhi Liang Pin Chestnuts and some snacks, Pastries and the remaining souvenirs for freinds. Had some Dao Xiao Mian for lunch was quite tasty i think and started raining when we stepped out of the restaureant. Imagine one hand carrying6 shopping bags and an umbrella in one hand walking through narrow streets in Hk. Haha train bicep leh. They are heavy and heavy.
Dumped everything into an extra bag that i bought at the hotel lobby and So i ended up with 1 sling bag,1 super big tote bag and 1 cabin size luggage. Took all these on the train to Tsing Yi to get the airport express train. While we were refunding the value remaining in our octopus card, sg's ez link card, we saw the express train approaching and decided to chiong for it. The customer service was very nice and helped us with our luggage into the train. The doors when beep beep beep indicating door closing when i realised my super big tote bag with my sling bag was MISSING!
Chiong out of the train once more and realised it dropped out of the trolley whle we were rushing. So malu.But heng i realised it early, if not all my passport and flight check in materails will be lost with it too. Maluated.so careless.
Board our flight at 8.15pm and landed in sg at 11.50pm. Was about 12 midnight when we passed custom. Haha, the Gui Men Guan opens at this time too on 1st day of lunar seventh month. Then was home sweet home then back to work.

On hindsight, I was rather happy that for 2 trips to Hk, i had visted quite different places and parts of hk.

Happy birthday to daddy and zj...

"I'm still recalling the words you said to make me feel alright
I carried with them today..." - Sophie B Hawkins As I Lay Me Down

yuenling says: i wan to *yawns* slack

Woke up feeling super sleepy this morning... Sheesh, I think I shall go offline obediently before midnight each day. *Yawns* + my colleague had to go to this exhibition @ Traders Hotel this morning and I had nobody to fetch me to work. Trust me, I am getting pampered being ferried to work each and day and I wonder how I am going to reach NUS for 8am lectures for 4 days of the week in the coming semester.

Was getting so difficult to open my eyes even on the bus to work. While standing, I keep dozing off. Was like during JC days when there are no test ( haha got test then busy cramping all the stuff into the head. every minute counts. loL), wait for bus at the interchange the queue also wait until sleep. ^_^

Grabbed a cup of kopi and ham &cheese sandwich while passing the kopitiam. Unlike yuxin, I dont enjoy the kopi at all..I think kopi got a certain taste of "sourness" in them. All it does, is to give me a stronger dosage of caffeine for me. But i heard the concentration of caffeine in tea is stronger?*yawns* Is that true ? In any case, I tink nai cha taste better... Oh and the sandwich has planta in it. I thiink yuxin will like it:) It has been my breakfast for a few days liao... I think i grew from not liking planta to slowly liking planta.

I am still feeling very sleepy.. how i wish to report sick to laoban*yawns* and dash home for a 3hr nap. hope theres no shift scheduled for me at Escape this comng weekend. C'mon I need to spend a day or two at home slacking.

Oh and I haven catch the Lake House yet and theres this new one coming Helen's missing fox or somewhere along those lines...Any takers?
*yawns* And I litera*yawns*lly yawns when i type *yawns*.
*yawns*

Notice 20060720

I am going off to the land of "buy things eat things buy things eat things"... 买东西吃东西...
In a few hours time, I ll be flying off.. Remember not to sms or phone me..till I am back on Tuesday, alright, till then, see ya !

Wednesday, July 19, 2006

Yes. I have got nothing better to do. Let you guys have a look at the place I ve been for the past 2wks mon-fri 8am -5pm. No. Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. There is no one in the office.. 6desks... But none of them is mine.
The administrators office.. I am usually not allowed access in it because of the P&C Files inside. Today boss din lock the door before he left.
The calibration lab. I lurve this place! Cus its a corner away from the office side. And so many instruments, i think they're interesting.. And here.. U enjoy highest level of freedom and sometimes I ll have company in the Cal Lab, Jenny! The Calibration Technician. She's nice. But this is still not my official seat. The Lab cum pantry. With all the packing stuff where i help with packing of all the sensors etc..
Aha! This is where I am supposed to sit. At the recept area..
But I am using the laptop in the conference room to blog down all these.. Constant surfing of net, Msn-ing listening to 933.. and I nvr thought that this ulu Acer Travelmate has an infra-red port, so that I could transfer all the photos into this lappie!

Office so big. I think its abit selfish for Yuenling to have it to her own everyday. I hope there's more company :(

-the-excitement-that-has-yet-gone-into-full-blast

I don't know what to expect over there at Hongkong, but i do feel a lil' excited. After exchanging for HK currency did the route planning yesterday, it does help to pump the excitement up alil'. Yes, cus I really wasnt feeling anything about the trip last wkend still.

Just in case you people haven got anything from GSS, i guess the above serves as a reminder. I have no idea when its going to end but it feels like a long while since it started. To think GSS hadnt meant anything to me till after my A's after I start earning my own bucks. But it doesnt get me crazy too >.-

I was casually browsing through haoting.com for new songs and I came across this:

I never knew she sings.. Haha.. Will she be a 一片歌星? Nothing very much special and feels very much like the good ol' Stella Huang.. Album released on 7th July and I haven seen any advertisements or any hits on 933.. How to sell well? Compared to Kelly, Weilian and Junyang... i think she loses out on that publicity and perhaps luck.

Did I mention? My watched failed on me on Saturday. Was supposed to reach Escape for work at 2.30pm and as usual I left my house 45mins earlier at 1.45pm. Reach Tampines Interchange earlier than usual and so decided to grab a tuna bread for lunch.. And happily reach Pasir Ris Interchange pretty early and caught on a 2.10pm Bus 354 to DE. And yes I am supposed to early... Rain poured and I decided to linger awhile at the Busstop finishing up my bread.. Walked into Escape at 2.20pm and yes thats early, i thought. Recieved a call from Zuoxin who apparently did not see me walking into Escape and he thought i forgot come work. When he saw me, he said I am late! Of cos I dint believe lah.. I tot , as usual, he was joking with me.. (TIME on WATCH: 2.25pm...)

TIME on WATCH: 3.25pm

Kuiting: Yay! I am going home soon!

Me: Huh.. where got.. U 4pm lor.. now still got quite a bit of time left.

Kuiting: Huh... Look at the turnstile clock. 3.53pm GLARING big at me.

Me: AH!

So in the end i was really late for work. Zuoxin din bluff me. I had $2.75 deducted from my pay for being late. Boo.. Its little lah, but it feels abit 冤枉

I manually turned the hour and minute hand of the watch to the correct timing.. It was fine once more! :)

But time for it stopped at 1.10pm today once more. I guess its old. Its been with me for quite some time.

Acne cream for blemishes, anti-aging, whitening, pore-refining, toner, facial mask ( leave-on, peel-off, sheet-form) , scar-curer, facial wash, eye-contour cream, face-lifting essence, anti-oil, and the so called definite-must-put-on-before-leaving-house sunblock lotion for face ( i dont follow anws).

And theres the makeup. Foundation, concealor, lip-concealor, blusher, eye shadow, eye/lip/brow pencil, lipstick, mascara ( volume, lengthening, volume+lengthening), nail polish cum remover, moisteriser, and make-up remover..

And i think i left out stuffs for women who wish to "improve" themselves, like bust-firming, tummy-slimming, slimming diet, slimming pills etc.

Oh did i forget about BAGS!?! Theres sling bags, tote bag, hangbag, clutch, backpack... Wallets (normal size, long wallets)

And then watches... At least 3 to save the day... 1 for casual, 1 for special occasions, and 1 goin out for sports...
::

Are there any stuffs that i missed out. *Sweats* Its such a long list...

As ALL of my colleagues left to have their breakfast downstairs at the canteen while Laoban is away in US, I am left alone in the office once more. Dint feel like joining them, u know its more uncomfortable having awkward silence than solitude silence. Plus, I have downloaded Real Player in this laptop that I am using now ( like, finally...) so I m able to enjoy 933 web radio liaos. At least not that boring to be alone in the office now.

Was reading Business Times that are delivered daily to the office but no one ever touches them. Maybe cos Business Times really is too boring. Why dont they order Straits Times?

Anyway, I was flipping through the paper and realised none of the articles attracted me, maybe except 2. One is about AirNZ ceasing its operation in Singapore, meaning there ll be no AirNz serving between Singapore & NZ to and fro. So to go auckland, u can only jump on a SIA plane or Emirates Plane. I din know Auckland was so "inaccessible" from Singapore. But what about Qantas ah? I have ALWAYS thought that Qantas goes Auckland too.

Second articles was about GCB put on auction. Guess whats GCB!?!
Anyway, they are private properties put on auction properly becos of the previous owner's bankrupcy or when they dies and there is no one to inherit it. So not any houses can be termed a GCB. It must be a Good Class Bungalow. But saying these, the pictures they provided doesnt show likewise. Perhaps, they are real big or perhaps they are situated at "golden" district. So is Ford Street or dunno where "golden" areas. But these attributes are not reflected in the pictures... I see 3 GCB... with not very attractive exterior, an old swimming pool and lotsa grass, or do u call that a lawn.

Or maybe a good district and a very big space suffice.
Perhaps, the "lotsa grass" means a very big area. How would you otherwise devote such a big area of land to cow grass, not even carpet grass, with no plants or flowers wadsoeva, if u have not a big area to take care of? And theres one with only 1 storey, dont bother building 2 storeys cos it too big liao (hoho...) Papers say its occupied by an old english couple. Couple = 2, 2 = such a big space for 2.

Av 12 million per bungalow..Crazily unaffordable. Hey u guys reading this, if one day you manage to strike rich, remember me k? I would like to step into a GCB and take a look. 0_0

心情不好

心情不好,有时候会感觉全世界都得罪了我。 在多说几句,不想看到我的“臭脸”也难。
为何我又变胖了?我只是天天忙着工作,下班后又要去补习, 旁晚没有时间去跑步, 可我也没有馋嘴阿。。。 好伤心,一天吃三餐也会变胖。 完蛋了:( 妈叫我带苹果到公司当午餐。。 带全麦面包。 哦买狗。。。

今天我只想埋怨。 世界不公平。

有时候, 想起身兼3职好像真的好委屈。。我何尝不想天天不必随着闹钟的响起在天还没亮时就起床上班。。 我何尝不想10 点钟才起床。。疲惫。 我好像有点变态,没工作发牢骚,有工作也发牢骚。 没办法,这次去香港, 总是觉得有点惭愧,不因该。。 本来我是因该把一部分的收入拿买新电脑的,可是现在口袋空空。 想到还没赚钱就先学会花钱, 真有点惭愧。嗨。。 也不是说平时没有储蓄,可总觉得把储蓄当作娱乐的消费, 有点不妥当, 跟爸妈升手拿钱,更不妥。

我好累。 我好倦。 度过这段身兼3职的时间, 我想我会引以为傲。凡是用劳力换来的, 总会比较特别。
是的,经过一番的自我安慰, 我又会开心的对朋友们说, 对啊, 不能和你们出去。。。 勤劳的蜜蜂7天都会忙着采蜜。体谅我, 我不是见钱眼开。。。我好像也在对自己说, 加油。。
Was being more cheerful today than other days at work today. Despite having Jasmin around, Weiwei Joanne and me managed to fool around abit today. Somehow, I am enjoying my hours over there at Escape because I get to mix around with people of my age. Over at Lighthouse, i am not saying they werent friendly, but they are slightly older.. Do I even need to ask if they had a friendster account?

Esprit launching a new series of watch. Slightly similar to Nike Merge.. But I havent really got the chance to take alook at the real thing. I think its slightly smaller and theres a reddish-maroon one. Chio! Priced at 93SGD.

Jeffery say i look like i got a lot of "wans".. meaning I am eyeing alot of stuff.. But hey.. I dont get to own 100% of them..Sorry to him lah (but i guess he wont read this anw). This was wad he was asking me like 5 seconds ago..

i need that assurance.. says:
haha actu i was juz asking any romantic stories u have can tell me one
i need that assurance.. says:
u noe yin yue ri ji frequently got all these uni romance stories


I was about to tell him. U dream on then have lor.. How often do you hear romance stories from your friends?
I think its more of gossips, bitching, complaints, rumours, questions and such...

But then I dint wan to dash his hopes of a romance in uni when he finally ORDs and gets into uni.. I gave a: Romance? No lah, i nvr hear..
(Lijuan & Yuxin: Did i say someone 长大了 on saturday night? I guess i m taking back my words)

About the mind n the heart.

U know.. When one gets a break away from the textbooks and tutorials.. gets tired of gaming, shopping etc. U go into books again. Or rather newspapers, magazines, documentaries and tv shows like 特写 etc.

About the heart.
It doesnt hurt to share things with those around you. It hurts to be too insistent on certain issues so view the world with a more open, and happier heart. The feature on 特写 a couple of weeks back on a "giving" family who makes more than regular visits to orphanages and elderly homes left an impression one me. An 8 year old girl know more about giving than I do. Thesedays, I learn to share my food with my friends and family with a more open and willing heart. U know, at times, when the stuff is slightly expensive, I feel the pinch of sharing. I learn to give more willingly. I learn to view monetary values at lower terms.

About the mind.
Tuesday with morrie: The experience. Get yourself the experience, grow inside the experience, recognise it and discard the experience. Sadness and anger are often 2 experiences that get you longer than happiness and joy. You can experience immense anger/sadness for a whole 2 weeks. But often, nothing has let me believe in immense joy for entire 2 weeks.
U know whats growing inside the experience and recognise it? Morrie says theres no point in going round and about the thought of " I am angry. I am sad. I am angry. And then I am sad". Cos its definitely not helping. Its like going roundabout in a circle, with no aims of escaping from that i-m-sad/angry routine. How about growing in the experience by recognising: hey i am sad. Oh whats the point of being sad. Just grow out of it and then recognise it. Like a virtual label on emotions. The next time the same feeling sinks in. That labels pops out. I guess its easier to get out of the emotion by not going through that " i am angry. I am sad. I am angry I am sad" cycle.
It helps.
Sometimes, one just need the !ting to wake u up from all the procrastination and self-magnified anger/sadness to just get whole out of the whole thing.

It had me enlightened.

Kickoff in less than 1/2 hr..

Meanwhile I shall give you guys a riddle. Chinese though.
百。 千。 万。 猜一个成语.
Guesses at tagboard pls. Haha (Sekali no guesses at tagboard..so malu.. haha.. )
Answers in nxt post. :)

Random

I just read this: Explained - The England fan's blind devotion ( TODAY News 01072006)
Amusing. - Some sidetracks from the actual game reviews
It goes...

The England national team have not won a major trophy in 40 years, apart from the Footballer's Wive Best Fake Tan award.

Before World Cup matches, the wives and girlfriends of England's superstars must go through the stadium turnstiles and get dropped into a vat of caramel.

Coleen McLoughlin, Wayne !Rooney!'s girlfriend, even paid to take a tanning consultant to Germany.

No one is quite sure what a tanning consultant does, but it sounds like a flimsy excuse to examine McLoughlin's white bits. (wat crap fat cat?)

....... When England score, Mrs Beckham jiggles up and down to reveal parts of her anatomy that really should be white, but are also disturbingly tanned.

Fortunately, this does not happen very often. England do not score very often.
( some more goes on.. on how the writer does not think England will win Portugal tonight. )

( I hope England wins later... but somehow I've got a gut feeling they ll be super suay tonight. How abt 2-1. I think Portugal will win[crosses my fingers].)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Went Mind's Cafe just now with uni gang. Was fun! Haha.. Its nice playin new games, games i nvr knew existed. Superman Returns not superduper uber nice but was alright I guess. Was quite touching at bits when Lois ( or Louis) was together with Clarks... funny at bits when Superman does such amazing stunts hoho.

A tinge of: 1) anger 2) wad-ever lor 3) disbelief 4) sianed-ed

About a week ago, my dad came home from work, with a stack of letters from our letterbox. Among those was a bill from PUB. It stated about 200 bucks in the bill, may it be inclusive of both water & electricity or just the electricity, and he was black-faced. :( Cos it was a 50 dollar-increase. We naturally put the blame onto the hot weather and the newly installed aircon.. Apparently the new air-con system is more "powerful" than the whole one. More electricity is needed to power it. So he says: No switching on off air-con unless the weather is real hot. BUT that has what we ve been doin mah...
Yes so for the past wk.. The frequency of switchin on the air-con decreased tremendously. The bill for this month better be ....

Okay, so theres news about increasing the fee for per unit of electricity usage.. Apparently due to increase in oil prices issit. So my dad says: Switch off the main switch of TV cum DVD cum Video Recorder every night before we sleep. Yes, he thinks that red light at the "Standby" Button consumes electricity, so must switch off the main switch...

Really? So its like even when i on my printer but I am not printing also takes in electricity? So even if I switch off my Hi-fi using the on/off button.. The LCD displaying the time and wadeva also uses electricity? Does it does it? Tell me.. And so if i dont switch the main switch of my PC off but my PC is not on, it ll also consume electricity mah?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just told a tale.
Laptop batt running low and went into my study to take the adaptor. Exclamations when i saw a brandnew bottle of Peanut Butter on the study table ( my sis studying for her JCT) .. and! exclamations i asked her if she used her finger to directly scoop some into her mouth and she said yes. OMG. Yucks. At least use a spoon or whatever to scoop it into her mouth if she doesnt want it with bread or biscuit.
Then i ran off to my mum - complaining.
I feel so kiddish that moment ago. We have grown up telling tales about each other..
Like... Hor... Mummy! Lishean spill the water on the floor and just used her tee shirt to wipe it dry! Like... Hor... Mummy! Sis just took a piece of choc frm the fridge w/o telling u!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hoho.. imagine her seeing this post now.

Simple Day.

A simple day today. Woke at 9 in the morning to join Joyce and Lijuan for a K lunch session @ Marina Square. Comparing the quality of the lunches they serve ( servED cos apparently Tampines Kbox dao bi le! Wonder what's going to take over?) in Tampines KBox with the ones over at Marina Square.. U guys know whats 天渊之别?The Soya Chicken Rice I had in Tampines was served on styrofoam plates and was super salty! The Teriyaki Bento I had in Marina today was so much better. Had a small pc of Cheesecake that came along with it:) Was craving for cakes since so long ago but yet could not afford a piece, a real nice one frm either Cartel/Tcc/Nydc/Secret Recipe. Kays... I shall put it this way: I feel the pinch from Hongkong trip fees and I m trying to save $.

Enough about food.

I guess I am not and will never be a game-person. Maple Story Lvl 8 was considered furthest that I ve ever played for any such games. Laughs, I cant derive immense joy or satisfaction from those. No flair for it. No patience for the game guides too. But its a fair time-passing activity.

No luck this year for NDP tickets balloting. No good. Havent been missing NDP for consecutively 4/3 years and yet this last parade at Kallang Indoor Stadium I ll miss it. Anybody who has got the tickets and dont want to go? Unlikely I think. And then I did my part for Smiles2006.. Submitted a photo of my SMILE for the mural. Haha... Somehow i derive more joy from such than killing monsters.

Dear joycee goin Switz this Wednesday. I hope she ll enjoy the life there for 1 mth and get some real fun xperience. Take beautiful pics there n post them on your blog, girl. Take care!

715 still very shuai in tonight's CID! I like! 是帅的咯!

Sis having JCT tmr. Wish her good luck:)

Saturday, June 24, 2006

715.



715!! Yes. haha.. Was watching the 9pm Police show on Channel 8 and I found myself smiling idiotic-ly whenever QiYuWu appears on screen. Haha. I am in love with him since last last last year when The Champions was screened. LOL. He has a certain air of arrogance and mystique that surrounds him. While my sis keeps protesting that he is not at all pleasing to the eye I had to agree otherwise
Sis: No he is not shuai.
Me: Oh yes he is :)

Dont be too amused. Indeed I am being abit too dramatic. Haha..
I am getting abit high from Maple cos i keep dying... and getting abit high cos its so late now. I am getting abit high cus i watch the 9pm show just now!
yea.

--To see a tsunami in your dream, represents that you are being overwhelmed by some repressed feelings or unconscious material that is rising up to the surface. You are experiencing some unhappiness and emotional instability in some waking situation. --

Yes I dreamt of a tsunami nights ago. I wonder what does the above interpretation means. Waha.
I choose today to start my new maple character but appears that the server is busy :( Xiaoli says cos today is a double drop rate.

Sunday, June 18, 2006

Spent 60 bucks yesterday while retail therapy-ing with Xiaoli and Meisi. Okay, they were essentials except that pair of shoes. N I thought I told myself not to buy any more shoes.. But nvm, i tink u people will agree I could do with more shoes. Lol... Thinking about the number of shoe-breaking-in-the-middle-of-the-road incidents. And.. I am aiming another pair @ URS.inc till the end of GSS.. thats y i kop-ed the priveilege card from Meisi. Waha.

I've been wanting to catch movie. A simple one will do. But in view of my schedule this coming wk. Weekday's day will be work. Mon, Wed nights tuition. Thursday Jap. So that leaves Tuesday or Friday... Wkends at escape. Who has a simple movie to recommend? Or rather, anybody itching for a movie lately? N i wan go Tampines only. Haha. I m jealous U guys have straight buses to town and Orchard!!! -_O

Take me to the clouds.

Had a shopping itch on sunday. But I dint go out in the end, neither did i spend any money. Passed by and walked into World Of Sports just now after work, walked to the socks section but none caught my eye. I ll just take it that I can save more money :) So that will be left for shopping in Hongkong :) Take me to the clouds, may it be budget or whatever. Yes, to the clouds and to Hongkong, thanks.

Did a full shift today. Meaning from 9.00am-8.30am O_O. Standing for 11 hours aint too easy. But I learnt more things today, more about the admin part.. like learning to photocopy all the settlement documents.. and dropping in of the remittance envelope. Carrying tens of thousands of cash in hand gets u an escort ride on the Buggy from Escape to DE! Haha even though tts a 1 min trip. Hoho.. Always felt like a burden to the seniors, even they may not have tt idea. Haiz, I ll make sure I dont appear it that way to juniors in the future.

I think I ll get my hair cut again tomorrow. I still think its still long.. I wan it short short short.
----

How will u react if someone say this to u: woah so clever, u're in Uni.
I'll always have difficulty in answering this. May it be a fake-friendly reply or genuine reply. Teach me. I am always at a loss for words and I'll end up smiling back and say: 不会啦。

And if they say: If one day i can get into uni den good liao lor..
I'll answer: Can one lah, no prob. But to them, will they view it as sarcasm? Will they think like: Pls lah, obviously i cannot go uni lor. U still say very easy.

K. Maybe I'm just thinking too much and being extra cautious with new friends.

Thought of the day: I m 19. I m old.

To all my good-est friends! :)

Sharing a nice song with meaningful lyrics :)
I have a habit of skipping all lyrics posted on blogs. However, read this. 姚若龙把友情的万岁写的好明。 不需要方文山的深度, 不需要林夕的煽情, 姚若龙把范范的这首《一个像夏天, 一个像秋天》 写的好好,如果我是夏天,你们都是我的秋天。“好肉麻”哈哈。 不必多说。
词:姚若龙 曲:陈小霞   
第一次见面看你不太顺眼   
谁知道后来关系那么密切   
我们一个像夏天一个像秋天   
却总能把冬天变成了春天   
你拖我离开一场爱的风雪   
我背你逃出一次梦的断裂   
遇见一个人然后生命全改变   
原来不是恋爱才有的情节   
如果不是你 我不会相信   
朋友比情人还死心塌地   
就算我忙恋爱 把你冷冻结冰   
你也不会恨我 只是骂我几句   
如果不是你 我不会确定   
朋友比情人更懂得倾听   
我的弦外之音 我的有口无心   
我离不开Darling更离不开你   
你了解我所有得意的东西   
才常泼我冷水怕我忘形   
你知道我所有丢脸的事情   
却为我的美好形象保密

我们的纪念日

I'm glad after working consecutively for 5 days in a row I feel more comfortable with my colleagues now as compared to 1 wk ago. Smiles. :) Nxt wk : 6 working days. Yea, $$ *beams with happiness* I am so money-minded. $$

My reading has been stagnant for many days and I am running out of interesting things to blog or fun facts to share...
Haha.. I am wondering: Does habitual bloggers (yes i mean when blogging becomes an addiction) actually live through each day.. seeing things... facing things.. while planning what to write in a post at the end of the day?

What I mean is I think there are generally 2 kinds of blogger.
Type A: U live through each day, observing things and taking note of them (may it be trivial, interesting, special, meaningful, weird, unique.. etc) and plans to write them in ur entry at night. U plan what to write in ur post starting frm the beginning of the day. How often do u hear you friend exclaim: Hey, this is so special/interesting/____ , I wan to take a picture of it, put in my blog.

Type B: At the end of the day, u try to recall what happened on that particular day and writes them in...

Guess the categorisation is not at all particular but I guess I m a Type A. When i read magazines, books, papers.. I go: Ah! I wan to put this in my blog tonight, if not someday...
I see something special..I go: Later must write in blog entry.

(Yes, i've been thinking through the above while making my way to work this morning.)
沉默。 双性。 神秘。 认真。聪明。分外迷人。

Glaxo Smith Kline opening new plant in Singapore. Yea... Its good news to Sg, good news to me too. Oh and Word Cup 2006 opening soon. Like real soon.. Yea! :) ! :) ! :)

Time has passed so quickly for the past 4 days.. leaving home at 8+ and returning home at 8 makes time pass in a swift. Lazy to blog detailedly what happened at work... but there's always eye candies on different days.. ahah small boys who comes to play at Escape and I forecast them being great shuaiges when they grow up. Haha.. And i saw the Campus Superstar Yuyang contestant ( Xiaoli! haha.. ) on Tuesday. Good thing about non deskbound jobs is that even though y0u might be doing the same routine, pple u see are different and different amazing problems pop out each day.. 1) A bunch of malay girls asked if our Admission department has got a pad.. ??? Haha then went to first aid.. Of cos first aid also doesnt store such stuff 2) Bunch of girls lost their bags. Found it and realised their handphone missing.. 3) A boy lost his handphone and got a bad scolding of his mum in front of me. Ouch. 4) Rude young chaps who order me to throw away their rubbish and when i point to the bin ( 2 m away) they insisted on pushing the waste receipts into my hands. Grr. Yet I cannot scold them... 5) Young chaps have weird sense of dressing now.. and.. full of vulgarities. Sigh. 6) Smoke! Alot of them smoke. Sigh.

Its alot of smiles and patience.

In a craze for earrings.. acquired 5 pairs in 3 days.... o_O
Mickey *blink blink* , Aquamarine pearl studs, Colourful shell dangling, Gween stars, Black/White Otello!
I think I am spending a lil' too much. But earrings and 2 books are all I ve bought since GSS! Haha..

And.. Whenever I feel like binging on junk food. I ll inform my mum and ask for her permission to eat them. Cus if she says yes.. it ll make it definitely alot better cos I m eating junk food with "support". U know u know, when I m not exactly thin, I tink eating junk food is a SIN. :P

I have a question again. Does standing more than 6 hours a day in shoes(not heels) help with slimming or rather toning of the legs? Plus.. under the sun? I ll be jumping with joy if the answer is affirmative and that will be one more motivation for going to work apart from the pay. And I hope to make more friends there.. The busy work and individual lunch sessions doesnt seem to help.

>> Help! I did something to my pc. I did a recovery-thingy but it seems like I had it reformatted instead of recovering. Dead. Did no back-up at all. I win.

一年前 (胡彦斌)

<<你还记得一年前
我们初次约会的那天
你靠在我左手的肩
问为什么月亮这么圆

我说是庆祝我和你见面
你说我的嘴怎么这么甜
可是现在的你不再像从前
是什么让我们疏远
我发现你和我的距离开始越来越远
感觉不到你还在身边
我只能活在期盼回到过去的世界
坚持到最后一夜
曾经的一点一点支离破碎的画面
是否和我一样想念
想念那每一个细节>> 一年前 (胡彦斌)

一年前的你们都在干嘛? 生活是否有好大一个改变? 一年前的我似乎好像跟现在一样。。 是好是坏? 大家,你们在一年后的今天, 有没有想过要干嘛? 我呢? 我可没再想。 困了。
好想要一朵yellow rose. 花店因该没有GSS 吧。 Ha. Ha.

Down for maintenance.

Blogger was down on Wednesday when I came online to type my entry: 2nd day of work. Since then, I have been down for maintenance since. Haha.. here goes my eventful 3-day account:

Wednesday(2 day @ work) : Went into the aquarium for cashiering duties.. Learnt it for the first day with Weijie and Shannon asked me to sub them while they go for lunch. Though its only 1/2 hr. But still.. STRESSED.. i dont wanna lose my pay of the day or even worse than that. Tada.. when i took over, it rained immediately.. Laughs. Hence, nobody came to purchase any tixs. But when it stopped raining, they werent back yet so I had to cover the cashier duties still.. Nets Machines, Visa Machines .. this and that.. I only knew how to use those as a customer till that day.. I finally knew how to operate those.. Net total for that(i guess, 1 hr?) - $674.25!!!! I was so glad when the calculations all tallied.. Haha..

Thursday: Work ended at 4pm. By the time i went to locker to get my stuff and walked to the MRT station it was already 4.30pm and I had to be at Goodrich at 5.30pm to join my ex-colleagues for a free dinner! Chiong-ed all the way home, bathe, change, then chiong out... Took a cab down Goodrich from Tampines Interchange. (Note: I haven even rested my feet till I sat down inside the cab) By the end of the dinner, which was at a Jap restaurant, I was SHAGGED. I was talking with a lag of a few seconds and my eyelids were so heavy. Reached home, bathe and took the bed at 10.30pm. Waha.

Friday: Work followed by tuition. Promptly to bed for maintenance at 10pm and woke at 9pm for work today.

Saturday: Finally!!! There's is no work tomorrow. I am so tired... 酸!脚好酸!There isnt any work scheduled for me today actually but Weijie called last minute for me to sub somebody. Ok lor, since I ll be at home anw and just earn some money haha.. Got my schedule for nxt wk..! Faints...... 9.30-7.30pm Mon and Tues, 9-6pm Wed, 9-4pm Thursday, 9pm-8pm Fri. 累。Pls let me be in the aquarium, Im willng to be the cashier now....... Now that everything is not too messy and my legs are too chui le... haha... Oh, good thing... no tuition for nxt wk! My student is off to NZ.. xingfu.

There's going to be bowling tomorrow. Need to wake early again.. Shall go home promptly after that tmr and rest. I have no idea why I sleep like 10 hours a day but I feel lethargic when i reach home.

I think he is stupid, he is weird, AH!!!!!!

Grr. First day of work @ Escape wasnt bad at all, xcept for one person, one particular guy.

HELLO!?! I have known you for lesser than 24 hours. Can u not be so touchy?! Can u not touch my hands, my shoulders, my waist and may it be on purpose or what my butt!?! Grr!!! See i wasnt wrong! First day of orientation he wasun-friendly(joyce says..), i think i had a better description, i said he was WEIRD! Got a bian-tai face. Worse den BLUD (Lol).. GRR!

Lesson learnt today: Stand far away frm X, pass things pass using finger tips, talk to him coldly.
I hate pple touching my shoulders.. and he is only 0.1 degree higher than a stranger to me lor.
Incidents of the day:
1) Give me pen to take attendence. HELLO!?! pen is v long leh. can dont touch me not.
2) Pass me the stamp + UV torch ( dunno how many times) also can hav physical contact.
3) And u want me move to the other side can just point to me or tell me. Can dun show me the directions by placing ur hand on my waist and "make me move" I wun move lor, i ll JUMP! God give u hands for what.
4) If u think Im doing sth wrongly( which i wasnt!), could have just walked beside me and tell me. Why do u think to call me by putting ur hand on my shoulder.

I AM SO ANGRY I AM SO MAD. If its like that again tmr. Thats it..
Pls pls let me be in aquarium tmr. I ll rather face the guests than him!!! I think this is the first time I am so pissed by a stranger.

And every 10 min drink once water and go dunno how many times toilet. And so kay-po ask me so many questions.

Lets hope i m being so biased cus i m irritated by him being so touchy.
AHHHHHHHHHHHH.... :(

Monday, May 29, 2006

I am going to die of nervousness, if theres such a word. I am so worried about the job @ escape tmr!!!! Ah...!!!!! Take results also not this nervous. Interview also not like this. Why am i so daunted by the job tmr!?!
I am a scaredy cat.
I am not courageous enough. Hur.................

>> Gween! All the green stuff that I emptied from my pencil case. Thats a hedgehog hey!

>> New Cathay Cineplex creative basins in the female's toilet. Abit impractical - hard work for the cleaning auntie. The basin is only perhaps slightly lesser than 1-inch deep.

>>Yays. In memory of my 2nd big walk :) Why do i pay to walk. Cus i shuang mah. And yes, i doodled my name on that pc of paper.


>> Nike Merge Collection. I cant just buy it. Tt will be worth a few days of my pay.

好容易受委屈的女子/生/人 vs 坚强凡是挺着的女子/生/人

是否曾想过, 自己是后或前者? 还是,潜意识好容易受委屈的女子都装着一幅坚强凡是挺着的女子的模样。

<<好容易受委屈
披上盔甲,走到哪儿去,挺到哪儿去
矛与盾, 这两个武器,有时真让人喘不过气
骑士的精神,好一个ladyknight in armour
握着白旗的右手,蠢蠢欲动

其实,我想做个公主吗?
走到哪儿去,疼到哪儿去,也痛到哪儿去
其实,我也好容易受委屈, 好想听一声:“我挺你!”>>

//hows work@ wildwildwet/escape? ask me that 3 days later.

sth i found out tt i cant tolerate: impracticality in life. tts sad. does that leave out room for fantasy? i hope one day, i ll say: i dont mind impracticalities in life. Face it, i think i ll end up choosing tt shorter river route back home instead of tt longer river route with pretty flowers. told u, its pathetic.

"u very lame lah"

its weird how my brain goes through the thinking process,

so ttyl = tok to ya later
and yuenling has alwaes been thinking ttyl = tata yuenling.

so tgif = thank god is friday
and yuenling has alwaes been thinking tgif = a modified version of a .gif file

so llliren = just happened out of coincidence
and yuenling has alwaes been thinking llliren = i love liren ( and its how "i" starts with "I" and not "L" and why din i realise that)

and yuenling has alwaes been thinking..
not wishfully i hope.

[edits] sometimes i just talk in 3rd person account. weird huh.

//saw Hi5 at Marina KR today... they were just sitting at the table behind us. Warning: Getting too near Hi5 makes u high. Kelvin makes a good proof of my hypothesis.. Yays. n that means more candid shots. Happy today.

ulu~ Yuen Ling asks a question.

What does tgif means? I have seen it more than once.. Can anybody educate me?
//
I dreamt of school yesterday. Characters: Me, xiaoli, Yixin, Mr Ng (My JC Maths tutor) Place: My primary school

Dreamt that....
I had a Programming Practical + MCQ on that very day and I forgot all about it until i saw Yixin studying the past year papers.. and her hand-written notes in foolscap paper in different colours. How real was that. Worse thing is, Programming is open-book but I din bring anything about Programming to school at all. Haha.. *Panic* ( Why wasnt I staying in hostel in the dream? Cos it was primary school. dot dot dot) Ask Xiaoli if she got bring my prog notes to school not. *to my horror*, she didnt. So frantically, I used my laptop to search for the past yr question and solutions, hopefully to pick something out of it. Yea, and cs1101c does actually have a webpage for that. Lol. So.. We are supposed to modify the dunno-wad-gene of the plant and design a program such that the leaves grow in a certain direction desired. *how duh?!*

Nxt scene: It was 1plus in the afternoon and the PE is at 3.30pm Yes, i remember clearly from the dream it was 3.30pm.. So i decided to rush home to take my stuff. Cus I was at Junyuan remember? Going home just takes 1/2 hr.. Haha.. Before I ran home, met mr ng.. He said that i did well for my maths test.

//

It is either 1) i had too much horror frm programming last yr and this is a much-delayed aftermath 2) what mr ng said might bring good news for my ma1506 :) hopefully 3) i tink i miss schoolwork 4) i had a hard-time fallin asleep last night, toss n turn, these were probably the people/things that were goin thru my head before i fell into deep sleep.

issues.

If you arent interested in knowing some facts and trivia-s, skip this.
Dont find them boring. Cus i fished them out while reading. There are small things that you might not have notice or small things that ll just amaze u.

Is the newspaper making you sneeze?
If you sneeze or have watery eyes when you're reading the papers, you could be allergic to newsprint."Some people do have a reaction to a substance in newspaper ink called acacia gum"It is possible that u r reacting to dust or mould on the paper. The best way to ell for sre is to take a skin or blood test. If it's positive, popping an over-the-counter antihistamine before and washing ur hands after reading the papers should stop the sniffles.

Work stress or depression - which kills u?
By monitoring 630 women and 933 men and comparing blood markers associatedwith increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke, it was found that job burnout is risker for women and depression for men.

So depression for men and job stress for women huh?

Adidas 1.1, $429
It has a faster computer chip so that the shoe responds to your cushioning needs even more instinctively. Like its predecessor, impact from your foot is processed by the chip which then responds by "stiffening" the sole according to give u the cushioning u need. You cant get more customised cushioning than this.

So. I knew chips can get into me. Recall: MI 3. I nvr knew, chips can go underneath me in my shoes.

心情真不好。别惹我。心情不好时, 容忍度及耐心也更着减少。别说我没警告。

here and there...

Accompanied my aunt, my mum, and my baby cousin for a swim at my aunt's house yesterday evening..kay, it was more of a night swim. Hehs, swimming babies look so cute. Ha! He keep spinning himself... (like a washing machine) and when I look underneath the water, his legs are moving around so vigorously! Seriously forgot what happened when i was a small baby. Did i visit the pool? Did my parent's bring me to the pool? Guess I did, cos' i saw a pic of myself in swimming attire. That was... 2 years old i guess. No memory till the swimming lessons in K2.

Woke at 6am this morning to meet Andrea for Big Walk. She still had to work after that. Hope she wasnt too tired at work today. Saw alot of "unique" people at Big Walk today... Pple on stilts.. Doggies! and yah.. pictures comin up! :) Took a complimentary copy of SHAPE magazine. Theres is SHAPE run on the 16 July... 5km/10km... Just for women only... Nice things to offer in the Runner's Kit cos i saw a Nike Water Bottle. A Gym Bag. Ankle Socks. and lots more.... they say there will be 370 bucks worth of goodies for us to collect.. There's still about 2 months more to work for the 5km leg run.( I try not to think of the 10km. Haha) Who wants to participate? And try to persuade me into joining her, kays.. And let me train with her.. Somehow, such things are very difficult for me to succeed if I m doing it all alone. Oops, forgot to mention, theres still a 15 registration fee..

Have you ever wanna do something...Something that you wld like to try.. But gave it a miss cos' u cant find friends around you who wish to actually give "physical" support by taking part together with you? Sighs. I guess there were many of those in my life. 真没用! 真的,一大群人真的会壮胆。

I feel like I ve been eating alot since the swim yesterday. I shall go run later. Cos' my dad says he is cooking fish steamboat for dinner later. I sense a nutrition overload on me. Need to work off some calories later, get some cardiovascular activity. 1 min = 11 cal burnt off. I dont know how much I need. No matter what, I shall just run lah.

Binge.

Went ICA Building today to update the photo of my passport. Waited for almost 2hrs in the queue....(Crowded!) But I'm usually quite patient with this kind of waiting.. Doesnt hurt if i m not rushing for anything.. Especially when they're playing Mr Bean on tv. Hilarious.

Went to walkwalkseesee around lavender area. Since I guess it ll already be too late for me to go down to Ubi Driving Centre to get the registration of BTT done. Plus, i am superduper hungry and was desperate to find food! Haha.. Walked to some ulu building behind Lavender Mrt Stn, mostly selling wholesale goods and I can find no food! So just wandered around. Noticed that North Bridge Road and Crawford Lane are actually so close together. And basic Pipa course for 12 lessons cost 80bucks. Pls, I dont think 12 lessons are actually good enough. Haha...

Wandered off to "Army Market" and somewhere near there i spotted a bakery. Its called: EggWhitesNBake.. bought an otah bun... Wandered off to Golden Mile next and walked back to the Mrt.

Back at tampines. Had a sudden craving for Old Chang Kee's Curry Puff. Binged. Saw Cheesecake at Qbread. Binged. (not nice de...)

Lunch= Otah Bun + Curry Puff + CheeseCake.
(Kk.. I ll start my diet after Carl's on Thursday.)

That Grin With a Tear

Do u see it?
Even when they're suffering, they look so cute.
"What wonderful creatures the pink dolphins are. See how their mouths are fixed in permanent grins. How charming is that? You starve them and they smile. You force them to jump through hoops all year and they smile. You use them as living surfboards and they smile. You shut them all up in tiny holding pens and they still look up everyday and smile. You could not do this with other endangered mammals now, could you? Tigers would get all nasty and mean. Pandas would sad and miserable. But not these pink dolphins. What wonderful, gay creatures they are."

They belong. to the vast open seas.

Teenage All Over Again

Just finished reading Princess Diaries Sensixtion a while ago. Remembered i was hooked to it 2 years ago and when i made a trip down the library that day, i saw the 6th book of the series and picked it up.

It made me: see the title.

I laugh at myself for getting crazy all over Michael Moscovitz, who is no more than a fictional charactor. Was so eager to meet him in the Princess Diaries movies who apparently, my sis says, is very ugly. Never got to see PD1 anyway, till now.

Met him again once more in this 6th book. Reminded me of someone's shadow this time round. Made an evaluation why i was so head over heels over Michael that time. Prolly cos' he was different..(u know these books and shows are forever featuring hot guys frm the basketball/soccer/baseball team of some high school/college/varsity or those who play beach volley super well with great bods and teen girls go ga-ga over them).. Prolly cos' Michael was smart, wrote a song for Mia and i think he was interested in things people nvr were. Charm. Haha. Why do i add so much drama in analysing a fictional character.

::我想买一朵花给自己,放在房里,让心情愉快::
::宠::

记得,好一段时间,我非常抗拒自己独自一人到人山人海的购物中心。心里总是觉得,有好多眼睛都注视着我。看见大伙都是成群结队,总会让“独自”行走着的我觉得分外孤单,心里总觉得怪怪的。有时,在巴士上独自一人, 都觉得路程特别漫长。

曾经想过, 自己为何那么奇怪?
结果事情过后,回想起来,是当初自信心不够?还是那只是成长的过程,总是希望被朋友家人陪伴着,凡是总觉得就算面对什么困难,都会有一群人一起顶着。

我今天独自一人到TM选购母亲节礼物时,心里想着:很开心,当年的“心理包袱”以从此不在。或许,人的成长,也代表着,虽然人是群体动物,自己必须学者面对事情, 必须自己学着处理事情。

反而,如今的我,已找到一人到处走走跑跑看看的乐趣。如今的我,似乎还不这么渴望在我生命还未出现的 apart. 可不是酸葡萄喔!:)

::享受人生::
:: 想瘦!人生::

(想一想,我的博客的读者, 到底有谁就算读了以上的文字,结果对内容还是一知半解的呢?到底又有几位,看到一大堆的华文字,又会坚持读到这一句呢? 又有几位,看见这些华文字,便索性跳到另一个网页呢?)

SaladMixingBowl





Went for 2a nine sista's gathering @cartel yesterday night after klunch with joyce&yuxin. Then went over to BK to talk talk and to divide our sweets.. "i wan tt gween sweet".. Its been long since all of us.. 8 of us were present...except eleen!! u better see this!

Was reading TIME this morning when i woke. Thanks to my sis who's subscribing to it because of GP and the need to read up on current affairs, I've a weekly digest of TIME, which sometimes features on interesting cover stories.. So a couple of weeks down, I've read on Queen Elizabeth's Birthday.. was it 83th, 86th? or even older? cant remember.. and Hooha over Da Vinci's Code movie release and of cus's theres always feature on the Iraq's situation.. (which has been inside since I was in J1!! And i'll just skip that part conveniently..)

Noticed this article on HongKong's air quality due to severe air pollution. "the city's air pollution index hit a high of 149 - a level at which those with cardiac or respiratory problems are advised to reduce physical exertion.." (how high was Singapore's air pollution index the time when i was in p5 and schools had to stop??)

"Hongkong has lost its sky. The city is frequently cloaked in noxious smog, and many days the only place you can see a clear shot of the famously picturesque skyline is in ads for luxury apatments."

"The only safe conclusion is that [air pollution] is having a very serious adverse effect on the health of people of all ages..."

"here's the good news: air pollution has become so severe and so unremitting that HongKongers are fed-up - and may be ready to force their leaders to act ..." ( Will i witness my first encounter with a riot/protest in Hongkong?)

I have heard the news from TV but it took me this article to realise how serious it was. What do I have to say? What do yuxin and lijuan have to say?(Give me your thoughts about it kay? Cos we really need a decision..) Will this deter us from going Hongkong?? Shrugs. I dont mind going(really) and i dont mind not going.. for the country will not run away from us.. Will I see the sky in July?

------

Something to share: I'm so lucky Im not a fan of cokes and sodas. Sugar-shots.

Its loaded with sugar- drink just 2 355ml cans od soda a day - the average for kids 15 -19- and at the end of one week you have poured down enough sugar to fill a 0.7kg bag.

Its full of empty calories -A 591ml bottle of Coke packs 240 calories and no significant amounts of vitamins or minerals. Even sugary fruit juices contain some nutrients.

and..2/3 of U.S adults are overweight or obese..[state of shock!] .. constant naggin doesnt help.. will statistics do the job?

观看人生剧场。我只好说:匪夷所思, 变幻莫测。
Giants in BFG says we are human beans 豆般的体积, 难道威力也只豆豆般的渺小?才不。看来今天的我是乐观的。:)

A trip to ECP 让我红了!
Nah, mediacorp didnt happen to be filming some "post election - what do the public think?" there nor filming some drama serials and happen to rope me in as an extra or passer-by. 可是我真的红了,都是太阳惹的祸!
Sun was super strong today, or did i chose to wrong time of the day to be under the sun? 1.20pm to 4pm. Finally went cycling at ecp with yinjie today:) Was glad to see her again after so long,yay.

I guess I'm continuing to be suay after the "forgot-key" incident. Happily rented a bike from one of the rental shops but as i proceed the bike felt v weird. Or rather, the rider, me, felt v weird riding that bike. Lol. First, the gears doesnt seem to be working. There was no difference whether at light or hard gears, which made the up-slopes difficult. And... I cant speed with that bike at all! Grr... And as compared to Yinjie's, you need more peddling action to cover the same distance with mine. Sighs. Finally cannot stand it and decided to exchange with Yinjie ( silly of us, didnt even think of turning back and make an exchange)
Total in 2hrs, we made 3 swops. Haha, leg ache leh! It feels like riding a bike with punctured tyres but the typres r not punctured! Grr.. stupid bike.

Saw people sailing, windsurfing, cable-skiing and paraskiing today. And some playing what-do-u-call-those-controlling-small-cars-with-a-remote-control. Ya, when you are riding a difficult bike, you need to enjoy more of the surroundings around you, to be more observing about things around you, to make it lesser a chore to ride that difficult bike. Somehow, I do that when I am running alone, that is to make the distance seem shorter. :)

Went for lunch at Komala's Indian Restaurant at about 3.30pm. Yes, lunch. Haha, we are both will-not-hungry type. Ate a masala dosai, it was so big and left us so full that we decided to walk to parkway parade. Yes, under the sun again. Haha..

Gains from this trip: 红了!A red-ded face.. and a meet-up with my long time no see friend! :)

Tomorrow I m going to pay Tampines new swimming pool a visit. It has got jacuzzi, a long slide etc that makes it a very different from normal pools. Hope I wont be suay again ... Like.. pls dun let my bump my head against the side walls when doing backstroke.. How imaginative.
如果真的发生,那就邪门了!

You see, I'm typing alot in chinese.. Cus this new layout supports chinese characters... unlike my previous. So I'm going to make up for the "lost time". :D.

Guess Im really happy today.

Check my "hedgedog the hedgehog" out...
This doesnt run at supersonic speed. But rolls and spins in the air dumbly.
I like the way it smiles when its in the air.
It looks 幸福。
The world just shoke me 15mins ago. Try it, i ve experienced it twice this sem. And nvr before in my whole life.

I hate myself for ever-true predictions and to-the-eye observations and it-convinces-me-so-well linking ability and imagination.
And that friend, yes that friend, had me guessed 4 things in a row correctly (not including the address). Im ever amazed by coincidences.
And why am i so good at guessing suicide stories. It freaks me out.
And i wan to stop predictions. Can i be ever so wrong for once that it finally convinces me that : Yuenling, this time u aint gonna be right.
It nvr happened. Nvr happened.
And what about a litre of tears, ive had mine too. That litre chucked away inside.
Pls stop. girl, pls stop ur abilities. If they are so true, so why nothing uve predicted ever happen on u?

Freaked out. Drained. Masked out.

//The stronger ones get hurt more. The weaker ones get hurt and retreat.Yes, that story about the frog and scorpion. Abit more than shaken. See, the world isnt fair.. u brave it and get urself hurt once more.
See once more, the world is perhaps fair. Logically.. who else but the braver ones to brave the war? I din say weak the war, did i?

A sudden spin in my head 15 mins ago led me into writing all these. Its the 2nd spin this sem, and nvr before.

Yes, i m abit more than shaken. I've been spinned off my guard.
For the past 1/2 hour, I've been getting self-excited. Shrugs.

*Sender more excited than reciever*
Was chatting with an og friend and realised his birthday is just arnd e corner..
All began with us discussing which grc is a walkover and which arent. Went on abt guessing his address and i cheated by looking at the og contact list.
And so zhun again realised his birthday is arnd e corner. Decided to pop him a surprise ( k lah, not a big surprise.. but he ll nvr expect i ll know his birthday is coming..) Began searching online for birthday greetings.. realised all need registration for free trial. Cumbersome.
So just fiddled arnd with the exisiting pictures in my com using paint and did him a birthday card. Haha..

In the end, he tot i send him some scary movie clip or picture, he dont wanna open and hotmail is lagging .

So i end up being excited, all by myself, haha...
Alright, he opened it in the end ( if he doesnt i faint of adrenaline overush. Prolonged self-excitement).. Haha..
Nice to know that I've made him happy for at least 1 sec? ( e very moment he reads the card), cus he's been a nice friend.

Wednesday, May 03, 2006

And so ive finally managed to get the last episode of The Undisclosed from the harddisk of the dvd recorder into the dvd-rw for kel and meisi. So happy.. But then it failed to play in my laptop. Sian 1/2. I guess i failed to finalise or initialise or whatever to it. Gonna try it later.

Btw Jade Seah is revived. Blinkblink!!!

And so i found this pic that caught me the moment i set my eyes on it. So much wanting to make it my desktop wallpaper. Sian, had difficulty again. Sighz.
And so joyce helped me with it. K.. doesnt look as nice as it was when it was smaller. But still.. its nice.. :)
Its been long since "love at first sight". Haha, how weird do i put it.
The old one... haha...close up really nice de.

Now. which is nicer... :p

Sian lor. i know some will say.. both also not nice. haha! Can u pamper me by saying both also nice!?! lol.

"k bye. i need to rush"
"btw, im watching a lame movie"

"so whats the lame movie?"
"Aquamarine...haha"

Indeed, i din expect much from this movie.
But it turned out to be pleasant. I was smiling throughout. Nice.
Made me feel real young after watching the show. Haha.. How serious can the plot get with a mermaid in it?

Im forever lazy to type out the whole story, as usual. But heres some nice phrases i caught from the show... :)

I love the LOVE!

"Why are you always so sure about yourself? Why are you always so sure about life?"
"Cos im loving life!"
"Be nvr afraid of your life, and be friends with your life!"

"I'm leaking! No, u're just crying!" "That something you do when ure sad!"
"You humans, the nxt time something leaks from my nose, you're going to tell me that something that happens when im happy"
Hilarious :)

Mermaid: " Is there really love? Apparently, i failed to found any!"
"Yes there is! Love is......
the closest thing next to magic.... "
Oh?

"My earrings compliment me!"
"My earrings will sure complement u too!"
"No! they really compliment me! I've got to get those starfishes! they whisper sweet-little things into your ears and the best thing is, they nvr lie!"
...oh, aquamarine is so pretty, aquamarine is so cute.. aquamarine is... (in tt starfish tone. so cute)
HaHa.

Love is, the closest thing next to magic.

I'm still waking everyday and thinking I'm late for meeting someone at the library to start mugging. Or I've forgotten to go for tuition..
I cant stand idling. I mean, for too long...
So... while many of you guys are still having your papers, I've already messaged melody and told her i ll be ready to start work.
*Itchy hand lah... *
When you guys finally clear all ure papers and ready to have fun and start to arrange for shopping/movie/karaoke/outing sessions..and im bugged with work.I'll start lamenting again.. Haha..

N i refuse to start jogging on just-after-the-rain pavements. Puddles puddles puddles.
