Goodness! Time really flies when u're having fun! Back from Taiwan to relax at home for a while... (:

2009-05-10T21:13:00.001+08:00

Yay!! I'm flying to Taiwan tml! =D First time sitting on a plane. Excited~

2009-05-05T22:19:00.002+08:00

Finally, finally, finally all done with exams. (: Looking forward to Taiwan!!

2009-04-14T21:39:00.002+08:00

Yay!! I passed my driving test! =D Haha, family car is an auto car, but i learnt manual. Went for a drive around the area and it's a very shiok feeling! Auto car is so much easier to control. :D

2009-03-29T18:30:00.002+08:00

To make my life more meaningful to myself, I purposely arranged my activities such that I'm busy most of the time.

But now, I'm exhausted, mentally.

Just wish that everything will be over soon..

Looking forward to my idle life..

2009-03-23T22:39:00.001+08:00

Sianz, my travel plans keep changing and changing... Don't care. Must travel somewhere after exams.

2009-03-16T12:06:00.002+08:00

Yay!! Just received my birthday present this morning. It's not 7 months early but is 5 months late. :D but nevertheless, always happy to receive presents. It's a cute present. :)

Thx WANZHEN!

(oh, i slipped and fell,again, yesterday.. -_-)

2009-03-11T00:34:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, slipped and fell down, injuried both my knees [everyone in my family exclaimed "again!!" when each of them knew abt it.. poor legs].

Today, as I was alighting from bus, an auntie in front of me swinged her paper bag and the sharp edge of it hit my injuried area. -_-

Just when the pain was more bearable, it became worse...

2009-02-15T20:33:00.002+08:00

Hmm~ interesting. I just realized that my hp model, K630i, is like nowhere to be found on Sony Ericsson's website. The closest that I can find is V640i. Weird..

2009-02-15T15:18:00.002+08:00

The week is a week of reflections. About people, events and a bit of "If only"s... Another crossroad in life is coming soon - Plans after Graduation. Argh!! How I wish there was no need to study or work, yet can get by with life.

2009-02-06T01:28:00.003+08:00

Chinese New Year is almost over. Despite the so-called economic downturn, my HongBao money is more than last few years. A few dollars more here, a few more HongBaos there can really make a lot of difference. :)

The 4e2 Gathering can be considered a success. 16 people turned up and glad that they had enjoyed. :D

My mum is feeling down these few days though, cos 2 of the kids she's babysitting are leaving. Their mum had gone to hire another person, our neighbour a few floors above... I would really miss them, esp. the older one, 7 years of relationship, teaching her how to speak, crawl, walk, bringing her to playschool when she was 3 years old.. Playing with her.. Haiz, but my feelings are definitely nothing as compared to what my mum is feeling, having been the main caregiver of them.

2009-01-18T01:13:00.002+08:00

Trying to organize a gathering is no mean feat. Esp. now that I'm organising a steamboat at my house. Tracing people through my contacts, I had some difficulties in determining if we had been in the same Sec 4 class. Good thing for Facebook, everything is much easier [good news for my phone bills too :)]. It looks promising with 25% confirmed. :D

2009-01-12T20:13:00.002+08:00

First day of school. 1 lecture only. Supposed to be 2hours long, but took 20 minutes only. AND the lecture doesn't officially start till 9th Feb 09 onwards. The whole of 20 minutes was spent by the lecturer trying to start the computer to show us the calender he put up to indicate that lecture starts on the 9th, before he made the announcement. -_- Complete waste of time.

2009-01-12T10:55:00.002+08:00

Had a tiring yet fun weekend. Went for the wedding of my supervisor's during my attachment on Sat afternoon. She looked so pretty all dolled-up! :) The place was near to East Coast Park, so went there after that to fly kite. Half successful, 'cos wasn't much wind, but had fun. It's the first time I really try flying kite. The previous time was when I was in Primary school, when the Art teacher wanted us to make a kite. In the end, the whole thing was done by my Dad [who also helped my Bro with the same Art assignment 2 years before that]. The kite made by Dad was nice, but can't fly at all. :( So, yup, finally had the chance after so many years!

Went to Malaysia with Lilin on Sunday. It was quite a breeze to go there and back [minus the waiting time for the bus..]. We each spent more than RM$150, though we didn't buy much. I bought a bag [a backpack that's nice, soft to touch AND not that expensive], a dress and some new year decorations [2cute, fat cows and a nice heart shape with 5doll shapes]. Hehe, maybe go back there to shop some more after the Chinese New Year.

School's starting today! Lessons at 2pm. :( Bidding is still ongoing, hope can bid for another module to replace 1current one, so that my timetable is nicer. :D

2009-01-07T00:05:00.002+08:00

Went to cut my hair on Saturday. Wanted to change hairstyle, but was advised against it by the hairstylist. Too dramatic a change and according to him, won't suit me. But he did make my fringe a bit different, though not that obvious. Aiyo, have to stick with this style for the next few months and to trim the fringe every 2 to 3 weeks...

2009-01-03T01:16:00.002+08:00

Yay~ it's a new year. A new beginning. I went to the car showroom with my parents today, to help them negotiate. Talked and talked for close to 1.5 hours just to negotiate the grey areas we found out. We also wanted to change some things and add others. Talked until the salesgirl's senior flared and slammed the car door.. -_- Damn attitude. But, in the end, he gave in. Guess it hinged on the fact that it's the salesgirl's first sale as being a car dealer and that my mum seemed quite willing to give up her S$500 deposit if we can't come to an agreement.

Haha, among other things, managed to squeeze out a GPS which my bro wanted [how can u get lost in S'pore?!], upgrade from 14" to 15" tyres [which is highly recommended by my cousin] but no reverse camera for me. Well, just have to make do without.

Can't wait for the car to be ready in about a week time. :)

2008-12-26T20:49:00.003+08:00

Yay~ my family is buying a car, 7-seater. It's an auto car! And I'm learning manual car.. Haiz~ Don't know how I managed to convince myself to go through the torture of learning manual, when most cars are auto. Nvm, it's soon my TP test! :D Hope to pass with flying colors!

2008-12-25T08:46:00.000+08:00

Lost my voice...

& No, I can't make a police report. :(

[600th post!!]

2008-12-11T01:50:00.002+08:00

Argh!!! I can't access to my emails! And I seriously have no idea why~

Irritatingly frustrating!

2008-12-11T00:16:00.003+08:00

Exams over!! Just 1 more semester to go. Hope that I can score well enough for my attachment so that I can go for advance attachment. :)

Went to meet an online friend today. Quite interesting. Though have to suffer leg pain 'cos part of the stupid heels rusted! Scare me for a while cos I thought it's blood. If it is, I think no need to wear heels for a period of time.

2008-11-18T14:48:00.004+08:00

Wosh, finally handed in the last project yesterday. A total of 100 pages, including the appendixes. The longest report I had ever done, even as a group report. Overall report flow seemed nice. It's a detailed report about the planning and implementation of a program. Too bad it's all on paper, and we won't be implementing it in real life. I guess it'll be quite fun to see the program being actualize. =)

In the meantime, have to study for exams.. 5 papers~

2008-11-06T16:20:00.002+08:00

Suddenly got enlightenment today during tutorial for one of my modules. Research Design.. Luckily there's only 1 module on research. :)

2008-10-26T16:13:00.002+08:00

Went to Alicia's birthday party yesterday evening. Met up with people I had not seen since Secondary school days and got to know people I didn't know exist in Secondary school. =X Anyway, it's a relaxing time at the Settlers' Cafe. :) Went for dinner with a guy (I forgot his name..Ops..) after that.

Have to settle my projectS!! And term paper... :(

2008-10-22T13:54:00.002+08:00

Yay! Got to eat the Durian Cake yesterday. Yummy! :) Pure durian, with no cream added. There wasn't much of the cake either, most of it is made up of durian. :D Received quite a number of well wishes by friends via SMSes and Facebook. Thx to all! :)

2008-10-19T01:19:00.003+08:00

Went to Kushin Bo at Jurong Point for their buffet lunch with my family and siblings' gf/bf and family friends. Total 11 of us. It's nice! A plus factor is that they organized games for people to play and our group got 2 people who got Free Lunch. Saved about $60. Haha.. Mum was still thinking how expensive the meal will be the previous night. I also received quite a few pieces of jewelry. Trying to decide whether they're white gold. Cos if not, cannot anyhow mix the pendants with necklaces. Had a nice time eating & it's definitely worth the price. :)

Mum also shared that she finally ordered the Durian Cake~ quite expensive. Half a kg is $50+. Well, shall enjoy it on Tuesday.

2008-10-02T13:23:00.002+08:00

Yay!! Received my first birthday present yesterday, from my brother & his girlfriend. It's a bag. Big and roomie enough for my laptop. No worries about the laptop getting drenched from the rain anymore!! :) And I also requested a Durian cake from my mum weeks ago. Most boring thing is that I have a very long school day on the actual day. Well, maybe celebrate earlier. Just something simple with my family. :)

2008-09-14T01:08:00.004+08:00

Hmm~ been a long week for me this week. Coming to the end of Week 5. Rushing here, there, everywhere. Almost no room to breathe. And surprise! I found it to be more fulfilling and that I actually can concentrate and react better under pressing times. And yeah! "Nation Building", a history module is no longer an alien to me. =) Goes to show how much can doing the difficult-to-understand readings and attending the as-fast-as-machine-gun lectures helped me. Now there's 2 ongoing projects and 2 upcoming tests. Good luck to me man~

Not sure whether she'll see this but nevertheless.....

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY to WANZHEN!

2008-09-07T01:19:00.010+08:00

Even after a few weeks after getting back the family album, that contains the photos we took in studio, I still didn't manage to take the photos from my sis com. She had re-taken all the 25 edited photos with her school camera and heard that the results had turned out to be great. Well, guess have to be contented with my un-edited photos in the meantime.

2008-08-31T23:44:00.000+08:00

Some people just don't get hints. Clearly NOT listening le yet still can't stop. Or maybe just felt uncomfortable to stop talking for a while. Argh... What's wrong in appreciating silence? Give me room to breathe! Things shared tugged at my heart yet don't seemed to even care and shared even more. Irritating!

2008-08-31T01:41:00.000+08:00

Saturday night..

Daddy: Working night shift

Mummy: Out to K with friends

Bro: Out to GF's house

Sis: Out to BBQ and Stay-over at friend's house

YY: Home alone.

Tsk...

2008-07-22T14:55:00.002+08:00

Ok, I had officially completed my attachment last Friday. CAn't believe that 10 weeks flew by just like that. And there went my summer break. Now left less than 3 weeks to school reopen. Got a couple of things to keep myself busy these few days. Meeting up with people, going out, earning money (attachment money is only coming in in SEPT!), going overseas with friend (yay!) and lastly, write a 10 pages of report, with references, about the attachment (sianz~). Enjoy a while more before I start on that ba. =)

2008-06-21T18:24:00.002+08:00

Back from the camp. Fun, interesting and definitely tiring. It's a self discovery camp, not just for the youths but for the facilitators too. Through the various impromptu decisions and actions taken, I can see the other lesser seen side of the rest, including myself. All in all, glad that almost everything went smoothly, despite the 2 hours rain on Wed Afternoon. :) Going for bowling again on Monday.

2008-06-14T23:28:00.002+08:00

Now is the end of Week 5 of attachment. Just 5 more weeks to go! This coming week will be interesting. I'll be teaching bowling on Monday. Can't believe it, been some time since I last played. Luckily managed to find a volunteer to go with me. Tuesday will be the finalizing of the details for a camp. Camp is from Wed to Fri. First time I was so involved in the planning of a camp. Really Kudos to those who had organized camps before, especially those for very big groups of people. On a very very happy note, my daily pay for the attachment is now more than doubled. From S$5 to S$10.50! All thanks to the new lecturer Ms Peace! =D

2008-05-31T23:13:00.002+08:00

Tsk.. Seemed like I was very affected by what I read about other people's ongoings. So much so that I became so rude.. Or was it jealousy?? I wonder..

2008-05-18T00:21:00.002+08:00

Exams are over and done with since a week plus ago. Since then, I had attended 2 21stbirthday parties and started my attachment aka internship. It's at YMCA Project Bridge aka Youth Centre. Fun! 'Cos it's never boring, though the log sheet reflected that we did very little things. =x The 3 of us have different responsibilities and that includes planning for camp! It's in June, 3D2N at BB/GB campsite. :) Hope the next 9 weeks will be a breeze..

2008-05-04T00:55:00.002+08:00

YAY! 3 papers down, just 1 more on Wed. Can't wait! =) It had been an eventful week for me.

Last Saturday: 1st paper at 1pm. By rights, there should be more than enough time for me to travel to PGP for exam. Ended up, I have to take cab, cos the buses came late.

Monday: 2nd paper at 9am. Open book. Didn't know I understood the module until I realised I can write a lot. Hmmm~ Hope it's not out of point. Went to take back my term paper for Gender Issues. I missed the lecture whereby she was explaning the term paper. Hence, I didn't know there's such a thing until 4 or 5 days before it was due, when she sent us information on how to hand in. Sweat sia. Somemore we are supposed to interview a person. In the end, I got 84%. Unfortunately, she didn't leave any comments, so unable to guage how well/bad I wrote. But well, HAPPY! At least I still managed to make it. =)

Thursday: Happened to pass by Popular bookstore and went in to browse cos was quite bored. Picked up the chinese almanac. Apparently, my luck from 7am to 11am on 2nd May 2008 [Friday] is neutral -- not good nor bad.

Friday: 3rd paper at 9am, again. Reached there 5minutes before 9am. Just nearing the entrance to the exam hall, I tripped over a small, short step and sprained my ankle. Cursed all the way down a small flight of steps and to the entrance of the hall. If my neutral luck = sprain ankle. I wonder how my bad luck will be like...

Just want the whole exam to be over and done with. Rest for 4 days to be exact and report to youth centre on 12th May! Excited! =)

2008-04-06T17:44:00.002+08:00

Hmmm~ I went to have a haircut yesterday.

Hairstylist: "How do u want to cut your hair?"

I: "Haven decide. But I want to have a different style."

H: "Ok, do u want me to use any chemicals on your hair? Like rebonding, perm, colour?"

I: "Erm... None of those, just cut."

H: "Ok, I'll be doing this & that, are u ok with that?"

I: "Ok, just don't cut till too short, medium length can le."

And he went cutting, and I went to sleep.. lol~ cos I was very tired. So yup, now I have a new hairstyle after having the previous style for so long. =D

2008-03-25T11:16:00.002+08:00

I got a good news yesterday! I passed my H.A.T. (Health Analysis Team). =) Was quite worried, cos I think I analyzed wrongly to Mr Danny. Well!! That means I'll be going on stage again this coming seminar. =D

By always appearing at the most unexpected times, you disrupt my day.

2008-03-20T06:03:00.001+08:00

YAY!! Finished with the essay just as the radio played the national athemn. Long time since I last heard the song. :) Well, now is 2.5hours of sleep before going to school!!! :)

2008-03-20T01:09:00.003+08:00

After struggling so much over the last few weeks, we finally perform the Tari Saman dance today. =) Though there was a HUGE mistake towards the end, the audience did not realize it, cos somehow our hand movements were in tune, just that it's in the wrong direction. =D Now, 1 project is done. Still left with 1 project & presentation, another 1 presentation, 1essay to write. URGH! I still can't get used to writing term papers. But at least my crapping skills have improved greatly. Still......I am left with almost 8+ hours to hand in the essay plus 1000+ more words to go! >.<

2008-03-10T17:37:00.002+08:00

YAY!! I finally manage to go overseas with people of my age, ie. not with my parents. =D I went with 50 other people from company to Genting last Wed to Fri. CEO and Vice-prez went too. =) A lot of things happened during the trip, but nevertheless, enjoyable. Looking forward to the next trip.

After I came back, I went to the IT for the 1st time in my life. Well, went there to get a printer with ONE function -- print. Got it in the end, despite the various sales personnel and a colleague persuasion to get 3-in-1 or 4-in-1. I mean, I have no need for them, so I don't see the point of paying more even if it's really a bargain buy. Heh~ finally can print from the comfort of my home & no need to change my font all to different colours before printing [the black ink head spoilt]. =)

2008-02-14T12:35:00.001+08:00

Today's Valentine's Day and I have to spend it in school for the bulk of the day. How sad can it be.. Well, at least it's better than having nothing to do at all. =)

2008-02-07T22:08:00.000+08:00

Haha!! I just met a person in my tutorial. We happened to sit near each other and hence conveniently became group members with 4others. Her name is YingYin. Just a letter different from me. =) First time I met a "YY" in real life.

Anyway, the modules for this semester seemed interesting so far. Going to Vivocity's playground to observe the kiddies on Tuesday for a project. Gonna write a 60-words essay for my language module before Tuesday. And research for ideas for a project before the meet-up on Monday. Hmm~ Holiday assignments.. Drag!!

2008-01-14T00:55:00.000+08:00

Life's definitely looking up. =) Time is always the best prove.

Starting school tml. Year 2 Sem 2. Time flies. Soon, I'll be going for placement, and the Year 3.

No time is a better time than now.

2007-12-07T02:02:00.001+08:00

Went Blog exploring.. Interesting. Got my mind thinking. But die, still can't remember the username and password for class blog. -_-

If we had met each other now instead of then, how would we have handled the situation? I dunno. Maybe I'll have 1 more enemy or friend instead of the current stranger status.

2007-12-07T01:49:00.000+08:00

Hmmm!! Exams are over~ Now having 1001 things to be done! =)

2007-12-02T00:56:00.000+08:00

Sent to me in an email, about how lucky people really are, just that they didn't know and appreciate:

Work as if you don't need Money

Love as if you have never been Hurt

Dance as if nobody can See you

Sing as if no one can Hear

Live as if the Earth is a Heaven

2007-11-28T14:46:00.000+08:00

Ah.... Great. I think old age is catching up on me. I forgot what's the username and password to login to class blog.. -_- Nvm.. Shall slowly think about it after tml's paper.

1 down, 1 later, 1 tml, 2 next week!!

2007-11-24T03:57:00.000+08:00

Just came back from an outing organized to go back to the old offices. It was fun and as I traced back the route from Lau Pa Sat to the busstop to take NightRider, a lot of thoughts went through my mind. Nevertheless, it's a nice feeling and things are certainly so much different from mere months ago.

S'pore, an ever changing city.

Life, an ever changing of events.

2007-11-22T00:37:00.000+08:00

Saw this on website.

How many social workers does it take to change a light bulb?

1) "The light bulb doesn't need changing, it's the system that needs to change."

2) None. Social workers never change anything.

3) None. They empower it to change itself!

4) None. The light bulb is not burnt out, it's just differently lit.

5) None. They set up a team to write a paper on coping with darkness.

6) Two. One to change the bulb and another to put your kids into care.

7) Five. One to screw it in, three to form the support group, and one to help with placement.

So funny.. All the words are so familiar, especially when I am studying/ dreaming/ understanding/ taking 3 Social Work modules this semester.

EXAM IS NEXT MONDAY!!

2007-11-09T00:47:00.000+08:00

WOSH!! I went to the Mini Cooper and Lexus showroom on Sunday. I only manage to sit in the Mini Cabrio though. Lexus SC430's doors were locked! [apparently i heard from those who went on Monday that the car was sold before I went.] It was a real nice feeling to be sitting at the driver's seat. =) Took photos. Decided to have a PINK Mini as my first car and then Lexus SC430 as my ultimate aim~ =)

2007-11-06T02:06:00.001+08:00

2007-10-22T01:12:00.000+08:00

hmm~ 21st October is over by an hour+. As always, emotions ran high on this day every year. At least everything is under control till now. =) Had a great and fun weekend. Thx for everyone wishes in the form of verbal and smses.

As the minutes and seconds ticked down, how I wish I had the power to stop the time, for the phone to ring......

2007-10-18T01:02:00.000+08:00

Beginning to like Social Work more & more & more!!! If only there's no need to take other crap modules... =(

Busy, busy, busy.. How I wish there could be a way to squeeze more time out for everything I have to do. An invention that allows people to skip sleep altogether?? =D Or the ability to "zap" from a place to another? =) Maybe people living few hundreds years later will have these devices. =D

2007-09-30T02:53:00.000+08:00

Wahz!!! I accidentally spilled some water onto my Laptop's keyboard just now. So shocked! The worst was not yet to occur, cos my touchpad suddenly can't be used! It just don't respond to my touches~ In the end, I took my sis's mouse to use. Miraculously, just after 20mins of the fan blowing on it, the touchpad can be used again! Just like before! Only thing is, my laptop now has a smell.. Of the water. =S I feel so sorry for it la! September is really not a month for me to purchase and handle appliances.

Poor little Laptop.. It had been a rough month for u...

2007-09-27T01:49:00.000+08:00

WanZhen and I ended up watching HairSpray today. It's NICE! A highly-recommended show. Lots of songs inside, at least 10 or more ba.. All are wonderful. =)

2007-09-26T00:58:00.000+08:00

It's Mid-Autumn Festival again. How different this year was as compared to last year.. Sometimes, just sometimes, I wonder how things will be like if the situation had been different. Well, what passed had passed. What matters are tml.. AND finally, my SunTanning partner WanZhen and I are going SunTanning tml~~ =)

2007-09-24T01:58:00.000+08:00

People usually start appreciating things only when they r losing/ lost them.. Grumble less, Do more.

2007-09-23T00:15:00.000+08:00

Lol.. What a night. I just received 2 unexpected calls on my hp. 1 of it was so ridiculous, cos the person spoke to me in English, so I automatically replied in English, asking who's the person is. The person had used the house phone to call me, and obviously since it's a unknown number to me, I would ask for the name.

What stunned me was the reply in Chinese: "When did u become so English, I thought you r a Chinese?" HELLO!!! I just asked "Ya, this is YingYi, and u are?" to your ENGLISH greeting of "Hello, is it YingYi?"-_- ridiculous.

And it's not like the person and I are close. We spoke for like 5 sentences? Expect me to remember the voice? Hanged up the phone in exactly 50secs.

2007-09-13T01:23:00.000+08:00

ARGH!! I need help!

2007-09-11T00:54:00.000+08:00

My last post was 555th post. Hmmm~ it had been a long journey from when i first started this blog till now. All the Ups and Downs, All the Bitters, Sweets and Sours and sometimes Spicys.

I still can't find my HP. Some stupid idiot stole it from a even stupider me. Luckily, a 3G-SIM card can still be used on a non-3G HP.

Birthday Wish: New HP for myself. Let it be a reward for me by me.

2007-09-10T01:01:00.000+08:00

I almost break down just now. 'Cos i can't get access to a room to find my lovely cute HP. So to date, i am uncontactable for 30+hours. Plus there's a sudden change in some other things. Luckily the Lionets met up and we had a wonderful time just now. =) Unconsiciously, they managed to make my mood back to neutral.. Thanks guys.

2007-09-08T23:13:00.000+08:00

My tutor words came back to me a lot of times today: "Sometimes, even though our lives might seemed to be boring, it's just a way in which we are coping and dealing with it. Imagine having a crisis everyday!!"

Gosh!! I dropped both my new HP and my dear laptop today! Each equipment once in 2 seperate situations. Getting more klutz...

2007-09-05T00:08:00.000+08:00

I just went and bought a new HP. Hmmm~ it should be the least impulse buy I ever had ba. 'Cos I had been thinking of getting a new HP for days.. Though the model I bought eventually wasn't the one I was eying, but nevertheless, it's nice. =D Well, hopefully I don't regret getting it, as I did with the previous few HPs. =X

A Walk to Remember is fantastic!! I had been looking for it for a long time, ever since I read the book a few years ago, and now I had happened to chance upon it. =)

2007-09-04T01:18:00.000+08:00

It had been a fun week. Though there are times that are scary.. =) Looking forward to the next day.

I am just human with feelings and emotions too.

2007-08-18T02:00:00.000+08:00

Tutorial balloting started from today till Monday. The 1 last step before the timetable is finalized for the rest of the semester. Wosh.... Realised that I got lots of "No choice, but have to choose that" kind of timings. If smooth, Friday will be 8 hours straight of lessons. If NOT, it will be 10hours straight... >.< Hopefully everything turns up well..

2007-08-16T23:41:00.000+08:00

Today is supposed to be a happy day, with everything running miraculously smooth and with school starting in less than 11hours. But something just ruin my mood.

What is being typed from this point onwards r just my own thoughts of the happenings around me for the past 1 week or so.

Nowadays, to people who never went through Uni education, studying Uni is still like a big-hoo-ha to them, but so what? ITE grad, Poly grad, Uni grad. What's the difference? It's only that some people are paying more to study. What they learnt are almost the same! Just ask anyone studying Engine/ Biz Admin at that 3 different levels. "But I got a better cert in terms of recognition by employers!" So what? Now many employers want people who has similar experience before. Paper just helped u to open a door to have a chance, but what make someone go far is much more than that. So what's the point if u r just on a paper chase? Study for passion, as much as u can help it. No use torturing yourself to study to get a degree to show employers that "I can study!!". And it's really unbelieveable to have someone who study all the way and finally grad at the age of 27 with a degree but is now doing Part-Time job of $4/hr, cos he's unable to find a permanent one YET. What's the world coming to?? People, really..... I think there should always be a balance in gaining knowledge and becoming independent.

I'm not pinpointing anyone in particular, just some thoughts about me feeling so frustrated and fed-up. So, it is not u, the reader, k? =)

OMG!! I just finish scanning through the photos taken during the Social Work Camp. =D It was just part of ALL the rest of the photos. The photos certainly brought back lots of memories. Can't wait for the rest to be up too!! =D

2007-08-09T01:37:00.000+08:00

Hehe!! Just checked my inbox. I got the module I bidded for. [I think something is seriously wrong if i didn't get them, cos I only bidded 2 modules, one from FASS, one from Science. I show-hands for 1 module, and almost show-hands for the other one. Lol... Wonder how many points were used eventually..]

2007-08-06T23:42:00.000+08:00

Just when I thought I had everything plan out nicely for school, something stupid occured. Some people actually only allocate 2 vacancies for this certain module I wanna take. End up I have to change so many things, cos I don't have enough points to fight with the 4bidders!! Sianz~

2007-08-04T23:55:00.000+08:00

Eating durian puff & layer kueh made by my auntie. Nice! =D

Looking Forward & Forward Looking!

Haiz!! The most sian part of being an undergrad of NUS is here again.. BIDDING!! I am in a dilemma now. What should I take for the Humanities Division?? =(

2007-07-27T02:07:00.000+08:00

I received this email just now. Found it quite interesting.

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter. The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital. He died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how she was going to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just five words.

1. What were the five words?

2. What is the implication of this story?

The husband just said 'I am with you Darling'. The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened. No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her. If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world.

'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.'

Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.

Hehe!! My mum bought Bananas this morning. When I saw it, I was reminded of the skit that our OG did. PCK in Na[times 18]-Land. And our Banana song:

Peeping through the window~~~
All the memories just came back and it really made me smile the whole of today. =)

Why & How do people get leg cramp?? It hurts like crazy!!

2007-07-21T21:49:00.000+08:00

Hehe!! Just back from my 1st camp in about 4years and the 1st one in NUS and the 1st one in which I am the OGL. =D I had lots of fun and the camp committee really run the camp very well, really take my hat off them! Furthermore, many of the freshies were surprised that it was their first attempt. Good job!! There's also many learning points during the camp, which further strengthen my desire to take Social Work! I am definately returning to either help out or join as camper next year~ =D

2007-07-16T00:13:00.000+08:00

I went to cut my hair this morning. Finally!! =D Happy..

2007-07-07T01:31:00.000+08:00

Looking at the days ahead. Suddenly motivated. =)

Darn! The stress & chore of choosing & bidding my modules are here again!

Red bean soup cooked with Durians is nice, but too sweet for me.

Real durians tasted the best with the companion of others plus the nice outdoor breeze.

Not going Rendang, Not going Genting, Not going HongKong. Not going anywhere.

2007-06-01T23:35:00.000+08:00

Hehe!! We went back to PJC for BBQ, organised by Calvin. It's quite a surprise that the school actually allow us to go back. Nice to see so many of them after so long a time. =)

2007-05-27T00:51:00.000+08:00

Hehe~ Addicted to wearing skirts these few days, though I know my legs are not that pretty right now.

2007-05-24T23:55:00.000+08:00

I fell down again. This time it hurts so much that I was crying and laughing while bathing. Crying cos it hurts like hell, laughing to stop the tears. Haiz.... Accident prone.

Legs, I pity u..

2007-05-23T01:40:00.000+08:00

Lalala.... I fell down when I was climbing UP the stairs. So now, I had the experience of falling on flat ground, down the stairs and up the stairs. Luckily, all are not fatal and only one incident left a huge blue-black which took more than 2 months to disappear totally. Hmmmm~~

It's all in the MIND and the ART of talking.. I SHALL overcome!

2007-05-19T02:57:00.000+08:00

Diaoz!!! I fell down today again.. From the top of a flight of steps to the middle of it. I am such a klutz! And the "best" part is no one bothered to help me or even care about me other than the stupid person in front of me who glared at me for touching her right heel accidentally in the process of falling. HELLO~~ I fell down from the top of the stairs till there and all u cared is your little heel?! Anyway, after she complained to me that her heel hurts, and asked why my legs so slippery. I just tell her, I know, I am sorry, really, but both of my legs hurt more than yours plus my legs are not slippery, it's my slippers. And I just walked away. Sounds rude I know. But which person would want to fall down purposely and caused pain to themselves/ others? Plus, I was having a headache before it happened, so I can't really act happy and "oh, I am so very very sorry, do u need any help for your poor little heel's injury??" ARGH! More injuries after the last one finally healed..

2007-05-16T00:35:00.000+08:00

Sometimes I just feel like pulling my hair out.. 真是对牛弹琴. 受不了了la!!

Don't feel like talking to u... Don't ask me why..

2007-05-12T01:19:00.000+08:00

"your blog like so positive."

it's just because I don't want to remember the bad things..

2007-05-09T01:44:00.000+08:00

Ah.... Enjoying life right now. How I wish life can carry on this way forever... =)

Positive, Forward looking..

2007-05-07T01:05:00.001+08:00

Hehe!! Happy now, cos my laptop is finally up and running! =D Love my life, and striving for the better.

....So many If-onlys....

2007-05-01T01:23:00.000+08:00

hmmm~ i just finish watching a Japanese drama -- 1litre of tears -- yesterday. It was recommended by people in the Japanese Studies forum. I went to watch out of curiousity and surprisingly, it was real nice!! =D As the tittle said, I cried a lot, but I don't think it's as much as 1 litre ba.. =P anyway, for those people who are free, do catch it on YouTube. =D

2007-04-28T23:45:00.000+08:00

WOSH!!!!!! EXAMS........ NO MORE! =D Goody.. Went to Sentosa with a few sec sch friends [ok.. i went alone much much later, but it's the appearance that counts right?] Been some time since I last seen some of them anyway, with all the school, exams and stuff. But now, all of us have all the time in the world to enjoy, and of 'cos work! =D Hmmm~ I am still looking forward to going overseas together with my friends, meaning must get passport chop one. =) I wonder if anything had changed since last year. *hopeful* =) I also got lots of things that I need to do, which I haven really got around doing. U can do it! =)

Happy & Crazy girl

2007-04-24T14:06:00.000+08:00

Haiz... My laptop suddenly got prob a few days ago. I don't know what it is, going to send it to the serviceman, again. Cos the solution they gave me did not work. >.< Well, at least 1 good thing is that I will have more time to spend on my studies.... Exam for me is starting in less than 27hours. Good luck to me and all the rest of people who are taking exams too. =)

2007-04-16T23:51:00.000+08:00

I came across this video clip from a friend's blog. It's a story about gay. I felt myself becoming emotional after watching.

2007-04-16T23:31:00.000+08:00

Heh! Stress, but not feeling it.. Hmmm~ in the sense that I SHOULD be stress, but somehow I am not. I want to go on Student Exchange!! CAP: >3.0. I can do it! =)

2007-04-13T23:47:00.000+08:00

Wosh! I got back my term paper. I got 20/ 30. Good considering I did it 1 to 2 days before the deadline. Bad considering the fact that the mean was 20.4, standard deviation of 3.14. [seems so much like Statistics] *Bell-curve again!!* Well, the battle is not over yet. The final hurdle is in exactly 11days. People had been asking and was surprised that my final exam is so near, yet I seemed to be "so free". Well, all I can say is that they asked me the qns at the wrong time. If they were to ask me while I was a guai girl studying at home, I would definately appear panicky to them, cos there's a big stack for me to go through before exams! Well! At least I only got 4 final papers, though I took 5 modules, cos 1 module has no exam. Just 3 tests. Of which, I failed 2. =X And I just did the last one this morning. All I can say is "Luckily there's a change in format, 90% MCQ, 10% short ans, and is still open book." It's over and done with, so worrying about it is also of no use. Forward looking!

Bad things aside. I received an unexpected email. It suddenly brought back memories. Sweet, Sad, Sorrow, Happiness. All that's left are memories, which I won't forget till the day I got amnesia.

Friendship

Many people will walk in and out of your life.

But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

To handle yourself, use your head;

To handle others, use your heart.

Anger is only one letter short of danger

If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;

If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.

Great minds discuss ideas;

Average minds discuss events;

Small minds discuss people.

He, who loses money, loses much;

He, who loses a friend, loses much more;

He, who loses faith, loses all.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,

But beautiful old people are works of art.

Friends, you and me...

You brought another friend...

And then there were 3...

We started our group...

Our circle of friends...

And like that circle...

There is no beginning or end...

Hehe~ I just checked my test results. B- =D Happy!
