Woman... 女人。。。

Something this aunt of mine who shares the same name as me ( Chin ) posted to me,

which I would like to share with all women & men alike.

Here goes......

Whatever u give a woman, she'll make it greater.

Still unconvinced guys?

Check this out!

1. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby

2. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home

3. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal

4. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart

You see, she multiplies & enlarges whatever is given to her

However......

If u give her crap, be ready to receive a tonne of shit!

The above is summarised in cartoon & symbols below:

Have a nice day guys!

XOXO

2010 - 1986 = 24 !

2010-01-24T23:19:00.008+08:00

20-01-2010, that marks growth of another year passed. Be it relationship-wise, friendship, mentally, physically, vertically( unlikely though) or horizontally, much has happened in the year 2009. Superstitious ones would say last year would have been a bad year for me, as it was the year of Ox in the Lunar calender, and co-incidentally I was born in the year of Ox, and co-incidentally lagi, I fell ill due to fits and seizures and was admitted to National University Hospital of Singapore for 18 days ( in which was put in ICU for 60 hours).

But all these only showed how true and kind people are around me, especially bonds I had fostered over the years, from jc to uni to internship, my Asean friends, BMS friends, A* friends, bf, and not forgetting my relatives and family. They were all there during my critical moment, standing by even though I was unconscious most of the time. And about the episode of 18 days, I have no recollection whatsoever, just heard bits from who & whom. According to them, I was very cheeky and naughty when warded, trying to escape from " prison" at times, and couldn't recognise some people at times.

Thankfully, I'm now fit to say that I have almost recovered, and could already remember all the loved ones who were once there for me. However, the 18 days still remain a missing puzzle in my life, but most say that it might be a good thing not remembering those moment.

On another note, I wanna say a big big ThankQ to all for the 90+ well wishes from all my friends and family members on 20th of Jan in this very new year. :) The list includes friends from primary school, sceondary school, jc, uni ( bms, aseaners, entre minor, YEP), A*, workplace, friends' friends and the list goes on......

Here are some pics of how we celebrated together......

Choc- mint cake from my family, right after I touched ground from Sg on 20th itself.

on the last day in Sg which I managed to catchup with a bunch of A* scientist......

my A* friends and mentors, above l-r ( tj, vicki, sherwin a.k.a. ah beng, amelia, steven, xiaoli)

below l-r ( jo'an, hauwan, allen, me :)

clockwise: hauwan, marti, me, xiaoli, allen, jo'an

and also the 2 lovely babes who treated me @ nydc :)

*vicki, don't forget to claim ur treat and cab ride from me yeah!

and in the midst of meeting up here & there, the Aseaners.......

l-r : tiang, aanchi, cheeks, karthik, jon, eh, lh, me :)

and of course my beloved chun & brudder, who waited long for a ride @raffles

cbd with me while chit-chatting. Splendid!!!

* pics with mich, zihua, xuhua seems to be missing though :( Mich, I shall get them from u soon!

Last but not least, after my b'day, I managed to start & complete this cartoon version of Audrey Hepburn protrait on the same day :) Looks familiar? if only my skills were not too too bad. It's found @ Ikea at a quite pricey rate. So I decided to give it a try on my own as I had been thinking of owning it for quite sometime already.

So, that concludes my 4-day trip in Sg and my Birthday, here's wishing everyone who happened to read this, a great 2010 ahead! Happy Chinese New Year! Ang pow pong pong lai!

staying outta trouble

2008-10-10T11:37:00.004+08:00

I'm staying out of trouble for a while...

I guess i need to be alone, or left alone...

If not, it'll be no time before i flare up at random people or people closest to me. I'm serious.

I feel that im taken granted of sometimes. I can't stand it when people want things their OWN way, thinking that they're right all the time. You may own the world and can order people around at home, but there's still a lot to learn when u're dealing with people in general.

Even if i am accomodating and easy-going in general, it doesn't mean that i can't have a piece of mind of my own... or constantly need to give in to other's unreasonable requests. why make life harder for everyone sometimes??? totally unnecessary.

Life's already hard enough for me staying away from home. After 5 yrs of struggling in sg, i have yet to find that comfort zone i can slip in anytime or tuck in cozily at night. I still jerk up in cold sweat at night from time to time, unable to have quality sleep most of the time...

doubts of the course i'm taking (serious), recent experiences, handling/managing my day-to-day life, finances, studies, expectations... i dont have time or space for more drama. i seriously need a breather.

I just wanna live my life in peace now. So, where there's trouble, I'm staying outta it.

journey

2008-06-03T02:21:00.002+08:00

it's like a journey where you need two paddlers to keep the boat moving ahead.

when the two take turns to paddle forwards and backwards respectively at different points in time, they just wouldn't reach their destination......

........................

it is quite sad how certain things can never take a backturn once pain, hurt and everything not so nice is accumulated along the way. those happy moments just can't be relived when something unpleasant comes back to haunt you or is still vividly in the mind.

one may argue that all it takes is tolerance to overcome this. yet, there's a certain limit to one's capacity. will the happy moments be worthwhile once the unpleasant outweighs it?

before more pain and hurt is added to the journey, some choose to call a halt to it and preserve the existing happy moments. would you?

.......................

time will tell. will the sorrows be washed away before the happy moments can be relived? or can the boat sail through all the obstacles ahead before another wave of happiness sets in? only time can tell......

people who made hell a better/ more interesting place

2008-05-13T09:50:00.004+08:00

to people i've forgotten to thank as well.

lastly to mum, dad, swen and lee... thanks for being.... my family.

p.s. again i stress, i'm not diagnosed with any terminal illness, ok... haha

Guai Lan

2008-04-04T16:26:00.005+08:00

GUAI LAN - a term i learnt when i came to sg, coined by singaporeans to describe someone who's 'unique' in his/ her own way. heee=]

i get that description a lot these days. hmmm....

anyway, today is a day where i get to relax and enjoy the comfort of my room cuz school's out! nah, just a day off.

pondering bout life and its complexity and also as my friend had put it, my 'lack of execution'

oh well, life goes on......

exam in a week's time

studying with 'the gang'

had a nice sarpino's meal and a good 'guai lan' daidi game

met up with the 1504 peeps too

meet my current obsession - vaio cr35g

sleek in champagne gold -i like!

babe's b'day party.CNY.V-day

2008-02-20T00:04:00.008+08:00

it has been too long...

2008-01-31T23:37:00.000+08:00

cb reminded me about how i had been abandoning my own site lately. I know some still visit my site from time to time, so sorry i had not been giving up-to-date updates.

It's not that no drama has happened over the month. In fact, too much has happened that I'm currently still digesting the memories bit by bit.

As for what has happened, I can only say that my emotions have gone through a hell of a roller coaster ride since christmas. It has taken a toll on my health and ready-to-crumble-anytime immune system as well. And since school started, with an everyday 8-5 schedule without much rest after the hectic 8-12am minor, Mr. Gastric Flu knocked on the door and granted me a one-week MC. How nice!

Oh, and there was a surprise birthday party planned for me by my darlings. Will just post some pics here... hopefully to mask the emo-ness i'm harvesting now.

In any way, I learnt and will continue to learn to be a better being as a whole. Will share more when i've come to some sort of resolution.

Seindah
Tiada lagi kau ku ingatkan
Sayang kau hilang

Menanti
Biar sampai akhir hayat
Ku di dunia ini

(Chorus)
Kau tahu betapa
Ku sayang padamu
Hanya bidadari sebagai ganti
Hanya takdir
Menentukan ia
Ohh Belaian jiwa

Ohh angin
Sampaikan lagu ku padanya
Yang sedih pilu

Terimalah
Lagu ku jadi teman
Hidupmu untuk selamanya
(Chorus 2 x )

monday blues

2007-08-06T22:22:00.000+08:00

yup kids, it has been a while... and school has started... that explains the monday blues i suppose

i really feel like isolating myself from the world, i dunno why...

i suddenly don't feel like meeting new people, initiating small talks anymore...

i fear falling into the trap of sem1 again, dread going to school and just sink deeper into my own world...

it might be due to the overdose of camps over the 2 weeks, it has to be...please let it be... i hope i'll slowly get into the rhythm of things, as mich has put it... or as mao has suggest, don't force myself into doing things i don't enjoy -- be like her =]

so a quick update- over the course of 2 weeks:

after sbs camp, it was MSA camp

then it was hall3 camp

luckily in the midst of camps, camps and more camps... there were these events to spice things up a bit

yuenleng dear from UK came down to jb, so we had a stayover at chunleen's.

omg, the ID of his house was impressive, i'll definitely want my home to be like that in the future: zen-like and mess-proof

we had our very first driving excursion to ikea as well

new deco for the new sem. woohoo!

then, a gathering with the juniors @ pitstop cafe, where boardgames can be fun with the right company

we also went ricotti @ riverside point, as recommended by ts, where they serve dessert/pastry at half-price after 9pm.

yay!!! found a hangout spot before our clubbing sessions next time!

ndp preview with mich and her friend, denise and also denise's friend joel
this is the first year it's held @ marina bay, the floating platform

overnight stay @ ecp with the YEP peeps

monday blues, or rather school blues... please please go away

my last bits of uni year 1

2007-07-22T21:56:00.000+08:00

okay, i'm back in sg alright.

uni camps have started and i'm involved in three of them, with minimal commitment, mind you...

1st up is school of biological science camp - btw, our juniors won the best og. met some rather interesting juniors - the scheming one, the bitchy one, the cute one and the funny one....

in the midst of camps and rara cheers, had some outings with the YEP peeps

@ marina square

a night out to cafe iguana and Ministry Of Sound with lynnette, daren, utz and elton

the SMLJ trip

2007-07-22T21:00:00.000+08:00

as promised, my rajasthan trip!

we toured jhodpur (the blue city), pushkar (the one with the holy lake and peacocks on trees), agra(taj mahal's here,FYI) and transit via delhi...

i'm freaking lazy to do the captions now, will come back to it someday. someday

to sum up, anything is possible in india :

from going with a bunch of 6 unexpected travel buddies ( rach, nuria, elton, bb, rena and val ),

paying 200RS for dry cleaning of a worn-out carpet due to fucked up floortrap system at a guest house-which-shall-not-be-named,

taking a 5 hour bus ride which had water leaking and seats soaked up on a rainy day,

12 hour sleeper bus ride which i had to share a bed with *ahem* someone,

to paying 700 rs for a marble table top which was blown away by the wind....

like i've said, ANYTHING is possible in india... the catch phrase i recently heard on radio : "singapore- the city of possibilities" seems more applicable in india. much more =]

i'm back from india babes!

2007-07-13T23:50:00.000+08:00

i've been urged to update... so this is it kids

it has been a week since i was back but i was just too lazy and tired. seriously. there were 4 days without a proper bed and proper rest - one overnight bus ride. a night camped over at delhi airport. an overnight flight to hyderabad. an overnight train ride back to m'sia.

and a big THANK YOU and my apologies to the 5 babies who camped overnight at changi to pick me up with the "welcome tits" 'banner', only to find that it was the wrong day. chunleen, mao, cheeks, charlie and ck. sorry sorry sorry. thank you thank you thank you.

anyway, back track to the departure day- 15th june

kailin and karthik were such darlings to send me off at changi. karthik, my team mates thought u were macho. stop being so self-conscious bro!

meet my YEP team mates:

meet lynette and saira (the leader) who were the taikache's of the group. they took care of me like a baby during my chutaupeng looking days due to allergy. thanks babies

zul and utkarsh. who went on an excursion to jb with me to collect the tees before the trip. added much perspective to my life and definitely good buddies to have. awesome!

nuria and rach. neighbour-bunkmates in YMCA.buddies who added much fun to the 7-day trip in Rajasthan. more on the trip next entry

ailing.me.serene.liz.val.rena.lx.glenda

elton.me.bb.eugene [mia:mr Q]

first sight of india- @ hyderabad airport.

we seriously looked like aliens. wherever we go in india, we're treated extra friendly. we were asked for snapshots with random passerbys, got smiles & handshakes from strangers, were randomly called ko-ri-an (korean) or japanese. even in a kfc outlet, a normal staff had to put on a chef's costume to welcome us and even showed one of my friends around the kitchen.

our first lodging @ vani executive beds. no kidding. just tilams and nothing else. not even blankets. =P

a bit of sight seeing around hyderabad before we started the community project

chaminar

roar!

then the 2 week social work started. this was the NGO we worked with - Mahila Action. Mdm Swarna, the one in front of the paiting with the yellow sareed woman is a very noble, smart and big-hearted woman. her effort to help the dropout kids, sex workers and domestic violence sufferers out of maternal instinct is definitely admirable and exemplary!!!

and this was where we stayed for 2 weeks- YMCA. along the beach and it's only $2 per day!

slum visits @ kobaritotha and sudaghadda

i was in the sudaghadda team- frequenting the 25 d/v bus everyday for 2 weeks.

this is the bridge school where we did simple english teaching

hat making while learning shapes and colours

tadaa!!!

they're more fond of the camera than me! the camwhore has met her match

elmaji and sandhya- taikajie's of the class

the pyla brothers- madhovasai and simhachalam whom i intended to sponsor through the new scheme we came ou with- M.A.K.E it happen! (Mahila Action Kids Education Fund)

along with english teaching, we also painted the bridge school at sudaghadda.

i was put as the ic and had to allocate jobs to 18 people who didn't know how to paint professionally (including me) and complete the task within a day. no easy task wei! my stress level peaked during that session and i was quite a snappy bitch. sorry peeps! i literally collapsed that night and ask the rest who saw me asleep the next morning - "wah, like jellyfish got washed off the shore!"

thankfully after that stressful event, the next day was R&R!

we went to the beach and kairasegiri. one thing i recall at the beach was the merry-go-round and ferry's wheel which was generated manually, as in literally 2 men winding the machinery. talk bout simplicity!

next up: one week @ rajasthan!

thanks darlings!

2007-06-15T02:30:00.000+08:00

so long people! i'm off to explore india tomorrow on a 835pm flight...

thanks to the darlings who are sending me off and all my wellwishers! i promise to take good care of myself =]

any messages u can leave it here, i'll check this site out whenever possible. any special orders will be entertained as well...indian spices? leather? =P

shit now i can't stop...

2007-06-14T15:28:00.000+08:00

er... i'm really supposed to be packing but since mich is now into the game of some self-searching... let's just continue for a lil' while =P

it would be apparent in my case if there's a test on ''how narcissistic are you?''
people do these kinda tests and probably generate tonnes for blogthings cuz they're relatively interested in themselves. them and only them.

phew! what a mess......

2007-06-14T01:42:00.001+08:00

i'm seriously in a mess now...

messy room, messy thoughts......

yup, i'll be leaving for india this friday evening on an overseas community project with 18 other fellow YEP mates...

the place is called visakhapatnam (vizag for short) situated in southern india. from which, after 2 weeks, i'll be heading south to visit taj mahal and other monuments, free and easy style...

how messy?

not messy enough??

here's more proof... er, i couldn't find a place for the visor so i placed it on my head instead

there... one of my proudest possession - a haversack!

this is what we call backpacker's style of packing - roll everything like swissrolls and place them into ziplock bags - rain or shine, they'll be fine! hope im doing it right and will not disappoint the uncle who took like half an hour to lecture me...

who says i need a checklist? i only forget one or two important things during each trip... no, no, i don't need one.... no!

ok, no more living in denial... let's go back to packing

till then, bye pals~~

I care......

2007-06-13T07:18:00.000+08:00

Dear friends,

To those around me who cared for me all these while, I'm sorry I couldn't do much to help out when you face problems in family matters, hall application, studies, love life...... All I could do is to provide a listening ear and stay by your side. Really hoped that there's more that I could do. Nevertheless, just wanna say that I do care and will just be a buzz away whenever you need me.

xoxo

i had to wake up 6am for two days to reach their school in time. it was torturous. salute to teachers!

ADD (attention deficit disorder) rate is relatively high in this school so u can expect kids with short attention span (like me), who are hyperactive around.

''jiejie, give me a hug''

''jiejie gorgor, u two married ar''
''jiejie, he beat me''"he kicked me""he poked my butt"

actually, i kinda miss them although i'm no big fan of kids

zoo part II.cafe del mar.phantom of the opera.fei's stayover

2007-05-21T10:12:00.000+08:00

kailin couldn't get enough of the zoo so me n mau decided to bring it into her room as another surprise gift

as we missed out on the seals......

happy girl

that's not all......

we went cafe del mar for the last round of celebration

met tuan, who has the hots for jason =P

and the usual kakis

and then it was phantom of the opera day!

met shinfei, who's unusually free that day

to save cost, she had been kidnapped to ntu on a london cab as midnight surcharge of cabs can be daunting.

we had a great night. just the two of us.

happy birthday teng kai lin !

2007-05-14T12:21:00.000+08:00

i've never really had heart to heart talks with my friends... but just wanna thank you for being a friend who helped me grow in many ways. aside from enjoying each others' company, the bakchi-ness, the retardedness, the zausengchi(stephenchou)-ness, u helped me gain a different perspective to life as u're very much different from our peers. and when i was nearly sunken into depression and chose to escape, ur words of wisdom forced me to stay strong.

so, THANK YOU !

anyway, it might be too early for a celebration..but what to do? we're all busy people...so mau and i had to deliver this special gift in advance.

this poor girl who hasn't been to singapore zoo had been wanting to go since n years ago... so mau and me decided to give her a surprise and bring her there without telling her where she's heading too. but sigh, the blurer then ever cab driver spoiled our plans. big time. hahaha. as we were all seated in the cab, mau had to type ZOO on her phone and direct the uncle. but the uncle thought mau had problems pronouncing and went : ZOO ar?!! and of course kl heard it and we all burst out laughing. u go, uncle!!! *smacks forehead*

sorry, no seals for the day

this is the closest we could get to the seals

this thing here screams UGLYYYYYY!!!!

i blend in with the zebras!

check this out! zebra crossing which says 'do not cross'

our cheapo lunch pack to avoid being slaughtered by overpriced food inside

oh! and to satisfy kailin's craving for ramly burger, i 'designed' this ramly wrapper while mao took care of the burger (fr. kfc)

the deceived one - happy!

the sadness - after finding out the truth...=P

so this was why...

2007-05-12T16:00:00.000+08:00

so this was why darren asked for my pics sometime ago

hmmm......

no idea why...but, thanks anyway

with mich and roger

my very last mugging session before the last paper, with joyce

first up :meeting up with the girls fr. kl- woonteng and mengyit at vivo...

we were serious tourists whom just couldn't give up any spots for photo-taking

next up: the long-awaited-for hangout spot-- timbre! timmy band on fridays is cool! love the ambience and food there!

getting ready....

karthik, tianglim, chunleen, mao and kailin were there... met mich and her friends too! mich, we seriously need to go every week, as a getaway fr. tcm man!

the following day: our supposed k-box outing - ended up in chinatown and orchard for food instead

life's like this for the time being...

2007-04-27T04:37:00.000+08:00

most time is still spent mugging at sadm- school of art, media and design, (mau's school where she paints and spends most of her time) not forgetting a trip down to town for a retail therapy and grooming session =]

Introduction - The Astrology of Time
The ancient Maya and Aztec astrologers studied the mysterious influence of the rhythms of the sky on earthly life. Everyone knows the Sun rises and sets every day -- this is the basic rhythm of life around which we set our clocks and calendars. What the ancient astrologers discovered was that other time cycles existed that were multiples of this basic day cycle. This fact was discovered about 100 years ago in Europe and these cycles (there are many of them) are now called biorhythms.
The most important time cycles in ancient Mayan and Aztec astrology are those of the day, 9-days, 13-days, and 20-days. Additionally, years are counted also, in groups of 4 and 13. Each day is then part of several other cycles, so no two days are exactly the same. Your Maya/Aztec horoscope below shows exactly where in each of the cycles you were born. Each category below examines a specific cycle and a specific aspect of your personality. Keep in mind that our personalities are complex and contain many contradictions. All of us present a different "face" depending on who we meet. The delineations below will reflect this, but they will also give you a clear picture of who you really are. The true value of astrology lies in self-knowledge, the first step to wisdom.

Your Most Personal Traits -- The Day-Sign of Your Birth
Here are your strongest and most obvious personality traits. The delineation below describes who you are and how you appear to others, at least on the surface. In Aztec astrology this part of is your horoscope is your Tonalli, or Day-Sign, the form bestowed upon you by the Sun.
Rabbit: You have a mind that never quits. You need constant stimulation and are fond of talking, debating, reading, writing and other forms of communication. This nervous energy of yours often translates into bodily tension that needs a physical outlet. You can be quite competitive and do enjoy sparring with others. You will often purposely take on an opposing or unpopular point of view just to keep some tension in the atmosphere. You may be fond of exercise, or dancing, or some other activity that keeps you moving about. You are a person who can do enormous amounts of work in very little time, and not seem to be tired for it.

You also have a strong need for attention. It is possible that you are a performer or entertainer, or are closely connected with show business, stage and screen. You are really quite egocentric, but you are not as confident of your abilities as you would let others think. Because of this, you tend to avoid taking on large responsibilities, but if you do take them on you handle them best from behind the scenes. In general though, you are not particularly good at sustaining a self-managed business project and you prefer to serve others than be a leader.

You have a most complex mind. You may be of high intelligence but you can also be quite paranoid about certain things or even at bit "spaced-out." You are impressed by cleverness and always appreciate a good joke, perhaps as an escape or just an appreciation of subtlety. You probably also enjoy games, languages, codes, mysteries and taking risks -- including gambling.

There is a potentially self-destructive side to you that you are probably aware of. The worst thing you could do to your complex and sensitive mind would be to indulge in drugs or alcohol. Please be careful using these substances. If drugs or alcohol should ever become a habit, and you know how obsessive/compulsive, you can be, a cycle of self-destructive behavior may set in. Those of you with good self-control may find that working around other people in weakened conditions, as in hospitals or in the psychologists office, is particularly satisfying work. In such situations, you can help others who struggle with problems you may understand very well, even if they have never gotten the best of you.

Your Deeper Self -- The 13-Day Week of Your Birth
Each of us reacts to the world around us in different ways. Our reactions are mostly unconscious; they represent what our deeper self needs. Our reactions both attract and repel us from things, people, and situations. What we like, what we like to do, and who we really are is shown by the 13-day week called the Trecena that we were born under. Each of these periods begins with the number 1 and the name of the day-sign that starts it. A number is attached to your position within the 13-day period that may be an important number for you.
This is the last day of the 13-day period beginning with 1-Vulture. Beneath your surface personality you are a person of strong will, and not easily convinced by others. You have have high standards and tend to keep yourself "above-it-all," beyond criticism. You do have a fear of rejection, which causes you to be rejecting of others. You are probably quite talented though, or very knowledgable, and have much to offer the world. You are a serious contender in the battle of life and love to win. In particular, you tend to overcome adversity with intellect -- you may be a verbal warrior of sorts.

weeeeeee!!! another post-exam list of things to do

2007-04-18T20:52:00.000+08:00

3 months! we're having a 3-month break soon! believe it or not... i suppose overseas, they call it a summer vacation. but in a place where there isn't any season change... the anticipation would be much less... probably cuz we have already taken the constant sun, beach and babes for granted.

anyway, a list of things to do is a must so as to have an aim for the 3 months, however insignificant or bimbotic the aims are... here goes mine:

go india for 3 weeks on an overseas community project
catch phantom of the opera! (not too late, it's on till the 20th of may)
go pulau perhentian (an island) for banana boat, kayak, snorkelling....
mambo @ zouk
mambo @ kl zouk
buy a belated birthday gift for a special someone
have a gathering with 6m, 1504 and 5mawar respectively...
more k-box sessions with yuen leng (u better get ready something fr italy)
drive drive drive!
trekking to mount ophir
focus on achieving alkaline body pH for general well-being
frequent the gym and dad's treadmill
go timbre and enjoy the alternative rock band performance under the moonlight
shop in the area of civilisation
attend as many camps as possible
sign up for a voice training lesson
go on an island trip with ASEANers
earn some money, hopefully landing my hands on the GUESS promoter job for the free shades, nyeh nyeh nyeh
tour kl/malacca as a tourist
get my hands on benetint/dr.feelgood
update my mp3
go to the beach!
join the boys' night@ the clinic
search hi-n-low for grape seed extract/isotonix op3
visit chinatown popular:get a tcm-english dictionary
pay a visit to aunt linda with buah tangan
send pics of india to host family in japan
drive sisters out for a shopping spree
wear brackets consistently
perm eye lashes

happy birthday, ck! take care,laoshi!

2007-04-14T20:16:00.000+08:00

pics up finally!

got my new pearly white phone... hopefully it'll stay with me

sigh, my phones always end up leaving me before i wanna let go..haha

pics include: mugging with mich, chunleen and jason; bms/tcm course mates; farewell pic with tcm laoshi;

ck's birthday! ; meeting up with tiang, sher, stan, ck, mao

home here i come!

2007-04-02T23:39:00.000+08:00

after a long struggle of monologues in my head! i finally decided to head home this weekend! aeroline, u better be good and send me home quick and safely!

well, i do have a few things to let off before i head home this weekend. probably don't expect any new posts as i'm still with my pokchia phone and still camera-less...

to whom it may concern,

although i really think this whole thing was rather unnecessary... especially the thought of initiating this... i did try to make things better... why would i spend time writing a 1500-word response if there wasnt hope for things to get better. why would i even respond to rude msn conversation and try to talk things out although knowing u wouldn't be receptive at that moment... talking to a blank face is not easy. however, i still believe in letting things be and if things turn out to be better for everyone, let it be i'll say...just wanna say, that one thing that u're still holding on to, find someone to share if it'll never be resolved. just hoping no one would turn suicidal out of this. or break down due to that one thing that can never be let out of the bag...

pool.iguana

2007-03-25T16:39:00.000+08:00

pool with ck, cl, kl. it was a battle between the puss**s and the d**ks!

then finally met up with the long-heard-of jiangshen... mind u it's not crossroad (junction) we're talking bout here... he treated us to fish-bowl macho margaritas @ iguana cafe

shall get more of HEROES now! brudders and babes... i'll need episodes (from 16 onwards) from u guys soon!

and sigh, need to get on with yinyang and 5-ele (5 elements) soon!!!
yinyang and 5 ele are my new found friends... i'm stuck with them for 15 hours per week okay!

and a lab report on western blot. oh my, there's also the southern and northern blot. wonder when will the eastern blot come by?!!

what time does the train leave?

2007-03-21T13:51:00.000+08:00

conflicts zap away my energy... no matter how hard others tell me to let go and to not care. it bothers me. it does.

i was feeling really settled this sem and was a happy soul with no worries, no desires and was fine with everything the way it was. but shit happens. we all know......

at this moment, i just feel like shedding off the 'bravefront' i've been wearing. it's heavy. it's suffocating. i feel like going home on a midnight train anyday this week. then again, mum, dad, lee, swen has their own agenda to attend to. they have no time for me just yet.

i am not as strong as others think. a slight peep behind the 'bravefront' and others will say u're strong. u're not suppose to sound so lousy. u'll get over with it soon.

yes, i know. i will. 'cause i just will. i'm fuichin.

think again... please do

2007-03-16T21:45:00.000+08:00

i'm dealing with something i never knew i would be dealing since primary school.... especially in uni. i know and am definite things do not need to be carried till this extent. to be blown outta proportion as it involves more people. if i do seem unfeeling, that's because i believe in 'letting it be', things will be fine as time goes by... or some things are just inevitable and not to be forced. lotsa things in life are not meant to be forced and u cannot always bend things the way u like it...

then again? am i really that unfeeling??? this big hoohaa spoilt my mood for the whole day and i couldn't even have lunch and dinner in peace...

all i can do now is to respond to ur stand, some accuses....point by point and try to reason out and hopefully letting u see things from my perspective.

last year, everyone seems to have their problems, not just the two of us...in fact the three of us... i really appreciated u for being there and listening to my whining...i really do... but then again, it's unfair to claim that we were the only ones unloading our probs ... u failed to see how we tried u to give u rational advice on ur probs...but we gave up cuz we know it's hard to change how u feel... i even thought of ways to make ur life easier and felt utterly sorry when i said something wrongly.

it's also rather unfair to claim that u never once stop us from whining...in fact, u did told us off once when u mentioned that ur uncle claims that tcm is not something for the faint-hearted...if u think u cant take it, DON'T TAKE IT LAR!!! that was ur intonation...somewhat harsh... frankly, i was taken aback by how u responded but at least i knew that u were getting sick of my complaints.

and so i stopped....

i recall being so screwed up during sem1 and i really thought that i found the right friend to share all my problems...until one , just one particular incident... the first time u made us feel like u're being outcasted was when i woke up late for our outting... woke up late but not late... i apologised so hard and promised to be on time by taking a cab but u just kept on crying... i was seriously freaked out as i never had to deal with very delicate friends...and for once because of that, that i see ourselves somewhat different in those kinda ways, i felt like i'm losing a close friend in this course as i had bigger problems to deal with and with yy. i thought i could just let everything go and start anew in a foreign place. seemingly foolish when i looked back but that was the impact u left on me.

u don't need a boyfriend my dear, u'll learn how to take care of yourself when the time comes, and i thought now is the time......

i told myself i can't afford to be a 'boyfriend' in a particular friendship... doing all the pampering, 'teh-ing' and comforting... i just don't have the extra energy to do so as living away from home, i already have a lot of things to take care of. minor minor things from frequenting grocery trips and settling bills and admin stuff to bigger problems like paving my path to my dreams and future. i'm not as short-sighted as i seem. i have big dreams and i need time on my own to fulfil them. i can be and am independent but it still feels good to be taken care of, to have a shoulder to lean on... sometimes i think that i've learn to take care of myself for too long that i do not know how to be taken care of or vice versa. u must not have forgotten when u gave me the disgusted face when we discussed about our differences... me n mich being the more independent ones...

differences in characters or minor things like sleeping habits are just inevitable...

things did not start out the way it is because we wanted to. circumstances are just inevitable in life sometimes. so what happens if u find someone u can click and get along with? u stay away just to avoid bitching from another party? no. u find space and time that u're more comfortable in and at the same time try to maintain the bonds that u've forged. i never wanted to let go of any friendship i've developed but it won't be the case if i can't keep up with the pace someone's going or disagree with certain actions done. we were never meant to go out to outcast anyone. not on purpose at least. sorry if we appear so. but even from a third person's point of view, yy... u seem to be floating around and leaving the supposedly 'click' that we have. making dears, darlings, puppies here and there. honestly, i can't keep up with ur pace and would rather shy away when in a group. i'm glad if u can find more people to confide in in that way...

we didn't go all out to make u invisible...

it's due to the less things we can do in common because u really have less time for us... clubbing aside, we always try to include u in our stuff, facial, studying etc... driving lessons,commitments, healthy sleeping habits... no one is at fault when these things occur. but it's certainly unfair to accuse us of excluding u in all these... we're the singles with screwed up habits that's why we can do much more shit... then how? and k-box thing in particular, we didn't reject the idea simply cuz it's initiated by you but rather, it's unworthy to leave so early as im all up to sing till the unearthly hours but u can't. and certainly mood was lost after a hyped up day the day before. no one meant to be sneaky here and there. it's true

speaking of classes......

certainly, mich can't be the one to demand for help as she's asking a favour... she also cannot expect something from you if u're not up for it. but even yy thinks u seem unfriendly when u're being asked. maybe u yourself have not noticed that but i do hope that u try to see it from an outsider's point of view. and we don't disturb u in class as like u said, we know ur style in class. but it's unfair to claim so even, as u seem to be able to pay attention at the same time while talking to the guys but not us. aren't we the ones who's suppose to feel left out? a lot of things i thought would be realised and discovered and need not be said out blatantly to hurt any feelings, but u made it this way, i'm really sorry to have to say so.

bitchiness......

it's truely unfair to say u dont bitch a lot. i have suffered from it personally not once but more. but i choose to let things be the way it is due to my seemingly unfeeling nature. i invited u over to my hall as i always parasite at urs, i know. but what did u tell me? ''i don't go to dirty places'' ouch. once. i was selling pineapple tarts for charity and the quality is really out of my control. ur response:''they really suck! seriously...''twice. when i was determined to shed a few pounds "please la, no matter how much u do...u'll never get the results u want. look at mich, effortless" thrice and still surviving. ''ur hair is damn oily la!'', "come on la, if u weren't in make up or dress rather ok-ly, i wouldnt even befriend u last sem", ''conclusion: fuichin is weird''... and that were jokes... unbitchy jokes maybe, but my heart is too faint to take in more... maybe i chose to stay away from them. unnoticingly. and bout cutie, seriously i do not have such a big issue as u do with her. when i lost my phone, andrew wanted to ask help from her so i roughly could tell her personality. i wasn't the one who went: "given another 100 years, i also wouldn't think she's pretty" and i tried to remind u not to be so mean. who's bitchier here... and when i put up with things roomie do, u'll be the one saying u can never tolerate it. and although i have disgreements with yy and is pissed at times, she knows that i do not need to do everything behind her back. in fact we resolve the issues by having late night chats.

everyone has tearducts but it should't meant to be a weapon in resolving matters.... i sincerely feel so....

i do appreciate that u were the one who bridged us. but things that develop from then on... it's due to circumstances- personality, habits.... no one is at fault and no one is to be blame or feel hurt. please be rational and and think through...... things need not be like this.

*friends: kl, mau, cl,ck.... u're probably gonna laugh ur heads off as i had to deal it as if i'm in a relationship... it has been 3 years since i done so. forgive me*

night cycling pics up!!!

sigh... intended to update on the happenings of the week that just past but blogspot's pic uploader is not bloody functioning. will save it for the next post then. events that mainly happened were:

winning a $300 facial treatment voucher fr. new york skins solutions and was easily persuaded into signing up for a course. [oh well, that means i will get in touch with civilisation more as the facial centre is @ ngee ann, orchard] poor mich who accompanied me was swayed towards signing up too...paiseh
mending the YEP booth @ ntu open house and exploiting my charm to push for sales of drinks. it really works if u try to sell to the opposite sex, trust me. eugene managed to borrow a van fr student union and we all had to squatt behind where the seats were removed. throughout the hilly and bumpy roads of ntu, i was imagining a kidnap scene and was entertaining my team mates by pretending to be tied up, blind-folded and mouth cellophated. hahahahaha, i enjoy acting... i do!!!
night cycling with hall 3. it's quite unbelieveable, cycling from ntu to ecp, the west end to the far east end of singapore. departed at 10pm and reached at 8am the next morning, stopping by for supper @ fongseng-nus, newton circus, esplanade and cozy bay, kallang. it was a great experience and a great time to hang out with fellow hallmates =] have to thank weizhi, jeff and jiajun, the leaders for the trip who spent a lotta time recce-ing and being stressed up by the routes to follow
catching history boys @ the picture house with kl dear. it's adapted from a play and really worth catching. especially if u too, will drool over british boys/hunks/men with the irresistible accent.
flyer distribution with bizmag of hall3 to halls 8,9,10 & 11. whoa! the confusing architecture of these halls and climbing to 6th floors w/o lifts!!! man, aside from the calories burnt, pretty grateful that i'm in hall 3. think lift. think air-con. after a tough day at school.
blood donation on campus. despite waiting for almost 2 hours and finally lied down at the donation rest-chair, my notion to spread my love was in vain! the nurse said that my vein unrdergone some kind of spasm and after the needle adjustment, it burst and blood spreaded underneath the skin. now i have a large needle hole and a big patch of bruise but didn't manage to donate my precious O+ blood. what a pity.....
what's unilife w/o exams, CAs , lab reports and lotsa brain juice... 1 6AU exam, 2 tests and 1 lab report in 2 weeks... way to go man!!!

pics will be up next...

an antibiotic week

2007-03-04T12:38:00.000+08:00

antibiotic is taking its toll on me...

whenever i take antibiotics, i cant help but to feel weak... physically and emotionally... mum says it's because it kills the good bacteria in our body too... leaving our immune system weak... but i feel down. how does it explain things? a search on wikipedia.. side effects of amoxicillin: Gastrointestinal upset and diarrhea, allergy with serious anaphylactic reactions, brain and kidney damage (rare). wow! brain damage could explain neurologically bout my emotions... hahaha and i'm having a major exam tomorrow..no kidding!!!

on the brighter side, mich says antibiotics improve complexion... that's what her dermatologist prescribed to her..woohoo!!! speaking bout good skin... here are stuff on my wishlist at the moment! peeps overseas: the US, aussie, NZ... u gotta get them at a lower price for me!

benefit is a cult brand from the US popularised by many celebs...

some kind-a gorgeous...

benetint

dr.feel good

i love art & designing... but can i still afford to do so?

2007-02-27T02:59:00.000+08:00

just realised i've spent almost 6 hours on my YEP logo design. it's for my overseas community project team. here's the result:

do give feedback on the best colour-combie and font-placing

people! it's way pass an attention span for a person with SAS syndrome like me. [SAS: short attention span] my friends always scold me for being SASSY and SASsssing when i lose interest in the ramblings =P

but if u think i'm damn free, think again!

if u're wondering how i'm going to spend my one-week recess... i'll be honest with you... i have to do something for my major tcm ancient chinese medicine this coming monday. it's no joke okay... it's a major exam. 6AUs!!!

just because my lecturer is from beijing and just because NTU had to shorten his stay here and just because they had to send him back asap, i had to go through 12hours of lectures per week considering my SAS syndrome and take a major exam one month ahead of the rest. well... i'm fine. i am. i think i am. i suppose i am.

anyway, laoshi was a kind person and we sometimes really weren't as respectful as 5 hour lectures are really too dreadful. oh well, we took a pic with him the other day

me, yinxue, laoshi, roomie, yingshi, mich

the whole school did, too!

paris je t'aime

2007-02-26T00:37:00.001+08:00

paris je t'aime
[edited]

apparently a lot of people doesnt know about it. so i shall give a short intro:
it's directed by 20 directors, each given 5 minutes to produce a short film about love in 20 arrondisements(districts) of Paris... go watch it yourself. it's worth your time. go! i enjoyed it =]

but try this exercise after watching it: recall all the eighteen five-minute arrondissements. don't be fooled into believing that there are 20 short films as there are 20 directors. 2 were taken out according to wikipedia. kailin est moi had a hard time recalling the non-existing two man!

well, we've recalled all 18 successfully and i've synopsised them as follows in my very own unsophisticated, unglam, un-french way...

anemia- eat carrot
tudung romance
the gay
@ the metro
nanny
madame Li
leukemia
cowboy
mime love
the confusing father & daughter
actress- weed
paramedic
theatre
vampire love
oscar wilde
the blindman
the divorcees
the postwoman

those titled in green really set us laughing like shit!

in madame Li, chinese were portrayed as rough, chor lor, bruce-lee inspired. not forgetting those chinese oldies as the background music

in vampire love, the mannerism of the vampire was simply hilarious. flapping left and right arms while floating away~~~~

in the postwoman, an american postwoman narrates in French which sounded similiar to our beginner's french lessons in NTU. now we can understand why nicolas, our french tutor frowns and appears frustrated most of the time... sorry sir, we didnt know we sounded like that......hahahahaha

i lost my phone!!!! is CNY meant to be happy afterall?!!!

2007-02-20T22:47:00.000+08:00

SIGH!!! more like kana-SIGH!!!

i lost my phone just before i left NTiU for CNY.... it happened around hall 12 but i only realised after i cleared the customs and reached jb =[

and that bastard who got my phone used it to message weird msgs to my friends... i'm sorry to whoever whom had receive it. and sorry for ignoring ur calls or sms-es for the time being. i've suspended the line for now.

sigh... i'm sorry i can't bear to put a smile and shout aloud cheerfully-- HAPPY CNY!!
i can't....yucks, it even irks me now

i was sick throughout the pathetic 4 days. relatives are as honest as ever when it comes to ur body shape (i'm fine living in denial la). no phone=no greetings.

other than that, the days were spent winning on mahjong and binging. but there's isn't any anticipation or looking forward to like when i was young. although those little wishes i had then were all fulfilled this year- shandy, bakwa, gamble, fireworks, new clothes.... wasnt a big fan of angpau though. no harm still...

guess the older we get, the harder we are to be pleased. the irony of life. kanaSIGH.

2007-02-11T16:32:00.000+08:00

it has been a pretty eventful week for me

wednesday

to add a punch to our mundane 5 hr lectures, we decided to go for the 10cents' sandwich by subway for their 10th anniversary, only to find that it starts at 3. luckily we met other course mates who gave us a promotion coupon!

thursday

another way to add a punch: card games! thanks to 8 days which gave away pocket-size cards at 50 cents, we have entertainment in class now! hehe

with peihua, junjia and jessica - coursemates. oops jj's head is unseen

friday
tiang's hall - eusoff, had a bash @ butter factory, so mao, mich n me decided to beri muka and have fun!

mau, what are u thinking of man?

me and mich before going

me and mich after clubbing- she thinks we still look as fresh!!!

finally. finally i get to revisit ecp (east coast park) after a long long time. the sea breeze, the beach, the skaters, the cyclists, even the sundae cone brings back fond memories. yea, thanks to khay shern who organised a surprise party for his dear karkei, who just turned 21! he made me gave a speech as well...

me and yc on our way there to set up everything beforehand. everyone was avoiding the couple who was rollerblading.

saturday
dragon boating with the ocip group was fun! we actually lack the most impt. thg in dragon boating - synchronisation but it was damn fun. we acted to compete with the topless macho hunks and rested in the mid of bedok reservoir, treating the boat as a see saw as we sat on both sides of the boat. sadly only one pic taken =[ it's with nuria.

and later during the facillitation session we were suppose to draw the inspiration that made us join this community work. mine roughly looked like this

it simply means to walk out of NTU with a bigger heart and hopefully slimmer and prettier too. hehe... and also to fulfil my dream to travel around the world.

then at bugis with kailin and chunleen, we did new year shopping and pigged out @tcc. nice clothes are evil, they're just like bad boys - simply irresistible!

at night,ck needed teman to dblO to meet his nus radio deejay friends. so me and kailin went along

on our way......

as usual, the person in the middle will look like mengseng =]

there goes another week...

2007-02-06T17:51:00.000+08:00

well, i haven't been posting bout school so far... to get a glimpse of what 5-hour tcm lecture sessions are like....

this is basically how we keep ourselves from dozing off when laoshi rambles on bout chinese history and add some punch to our lab sessions.

* the blue brows on the funny faces are actually different brilliant arrangements of frozz mints =]

over the weekends, i've been busy as well... meet-ups @ nus & orchard running errands for YEP @ chinatown and catching up with og peeps @ esplanade.

having supper with karthik n ck after catching babel with kl.

sheare's hall has caishen, courtesy of their rukun tetangga

pepper lunch-ing with ck,cl,tl n mao

after a tough day's work @ chinatown with sab n ailing

laiyan n singeian's bdae! with msa og

choco-buffet @ swissotel

2007-01-30T18:02:00.000+08:00

michelle lim ai ann came down to sg as a tourist so we met up for lunch at holland Village =]

it's nice catching up with a long-lost (maybe not. 2 years?) friend, classmate, co-worker... reminiscing about our prefect days, 5 mawar ......

and i met her friend, chris too. bitched bout jc days. haha

oh and sunday was a SINful day... choc buffet after dimsum @ chinatown. tsk tsk tsk . better burn the chocs off today at salsa/waltz class later

this is what we did when we were suppose to be mugging at Tianjinlou- a chinese-setting dimsum place at chinatown instead of the ever-famous Yumcha.

the boss was actually very nice to allow us to sit there for 5 hrs for $20-worth dimsum =]

and then the sinfulest event started...

went with the NTU deli apprecio club together with shermaine and her CNyang buddies: george n wengfung and also kailin dear n chunleen. after a round of choc-fondue, mousse, cakes and tartlets, we surrendered. although we couldn't take in more than what we took, it was quite a disappointment as there wasn't much of a variety. i could have stuffed in more if there were more cutesy teeny weeny pieces around =P

till then, will update more on my YEP projects- an overseas community project to India.
btw, anyone who has contacts for a trekking trip to johor please contact me. tag me or email me =] thx

I'm a capricorn-aquarius cusp!!!

2007-01-27T01:29:00.000+08:00

WHAT'S A CUSP?

The cusp is a blending of the qualities of two Sun Signs.

In Karmic Astrology,

birth on a cusp is interpreted as 'unfinished business' from previous lifetimes.

This lifetime is about finishing that final lesson to move into the soul refining challenges presented through the next sun sign.

January 17 - 22

Because this girl is in the cusp of Aquarius she can be exciting and full of fun.

Keeping things a mystery is her way of playing around and flirting.

She can get carried away with fantasies

but the Capricorn in her keeps her grounded.

While those born on this cusp are tolerant and broad-minded,

they tend to stick to their beliefs.

Their intellect makes them logical and self-confident,

but it may also make them aloof from the people around them.

They are original, offbeat and even eccentric,

but they are also rather bored by detail.[SAS]

Reformist and experimental,

they may also seem cold toward anyone who doesn't share their intellectual orientation to life.

They tend to be multitalented, both in scientific and creative endeavors.

They are unique and rebellious, driven to change the world.

Their freedom is important to them,

and they are often driven to help others become free as well.

They are quite the social animals and often have a fondness for conversation,

as long as it has intellectual depth and meaning.

Their ambition is inexhaustible,

and they are not easily deterred when their goals are in sight.

They make others see things in a new light.

Their ability to break the rules and move beyond what others think is possible

makes them one of the most innovative and hard working characters of the zodiac.

Some cusp babies literally feel pulled in two, as the zodiac signs right next to each other are different in element, quality and presentation.

魔羯水瓶座

(Capricorn-Aquarius Cusp)　
(神秘幻想的交界)

務實保守的魔羯座本質，

一把撞上了讓人捉摸不定、顛覆傳統的水瓶座衝動。

活潑而又善於表達的魔羯水瓶不論走到那裡，

都可以為大家帶來歡樂。

靜不下來的他們只要一走進房間，馬上就會讓所有人注意到他們的到來

土星會使魔羯水瓶的生活較有秩序，

也比較有責任感；

可是天王星卻可能在任何時候破壞這個秩序，

使得魔羯水瓶變得反覆無常。

因此，

魔羯水瓶的個性常常變來變去，

一會兒明智講理，一會兒卻又失去理智。

1月20日

自由奔放

這天出生的人總是活力充沛，有首過人的幽默感，

即使在最艱難的善下，也能運用一些小機智，

讓事情變得不那么嚴重。

事實上，

也正是這種苦中作樂的態度，使他們能夠維持對事物的深度敏感。

雖然他們喜歡開玩笑，

甚至在合適的時機扮演小丑自娛娛人，

但是，強烈的自尊心也會逼迫他們確實認真地看待自己。

這些人平常老愛嘻嘻哈哈的，

所以，除了真正熟悉的人以外，別人可能會覺得他們很膚淺。[damn right, huh?]

事實上，

這天出生的人很保護自己的私生活，只會和少數親近的人分享內心的希望和夢想。

這個地帶又充滿著神秘和想像，所以他們特別容易被

喜愛追求樂趣、深具活力、激動人心的人所吸引。

1/20的生日花

野蕁麻花

雖然外表是可愛的心形，卻有刺，

一不小心碰觸到，會被刺得哇哇叫。

因此野蕁麻花的花語是

「殘酷」，

受到這種花祝福而生的人，多少帶點殘酷的性格。

會給對你有意思、想親近你的人狠狠的一擊。

如果這樣持續下去，會無法獲得真愛呦！

喜歡刺激，性方面的要求很強。

另一方面，他又要求對方絕對忠誠，

而且相信對他稍微的花心，應該睜一隻眼閉一隻眼。

平常是很抑制的，但偶爾也會採取令人驚訝的熱情行動。

雖然有見異思遷的癖性，

但根本上他是保守的，

同時他也期待對方的行動有知識性，不會引起別人的爭議。

i'm officially an adult- legal age defined by saudi arabia

2007-01-24T12:39:00.000+08:00

yes! i am 21... can u imagine that, i could vote and mum says i could even marry legally without her consent =]

well, i had a few celebrations with ALL my darlings. [to those babes and hunks overseas, i'll spare u for once] they had to be done on different days as i would be in sg during the actual day and getting friends from different clicks together is just hard at times.

PART I - home sweet home - 6th Jan

[i know it's waaaayyyy early but what to do??!!]

with my family and relatives while i was still around in pj. to my family or rather chinese families, the 21st birthday celebration is a must. i remember how i used to admire my cousins who have gotten their golden key (a pendant in most cases) from their parents as a sign of full ownership of one's freedom. of course, i've gotten mine too!!! but it's white gold though...

the celebration was a joint one with my cousin,wei who's older than me by 5 days as our mummies planned to have us at about the same time 21 years ago. we actually attended kindergarten and secondary school together and was under the care of the same nanny =P

PART II - s.b-ting @ 3A lounge - 18th Jan

with my hall-3-mates!!! my roomie, yy planned a party for me. i noticed she has been very busy and worried during that period of time so i asked her if she needed help. haha, is was supposed to be a surprise party for me but on that day itself, she finally asked for help to buy the ingredients and transport them back for steamboat... it was a warm celebration with em like with a family abroad... then we played my latest hobby afterwards- poker!!! my msian accent- like when i say 20 cents : liang2mao3 instead of liang3mao2 just amuses them...'wo bu shi shan dong ren ar!!!'

oh ya i got a bunny sutra swatch watch as a gift from them too!! *happy happy*
(thanks to everyone who chipped-in. seniors who paid but didn't turn up alike!!)
jeff calls it the horny bunny watch. it actually has 6 bunnies in different sex positions on it, as in kama sutra. and the cool thing is : u can tap on the watch and the clock hands will land on one of the positions. running out of ideas in the bedroom, get it!!!

PART III - Sentosa getaway @ cafe del mars - 19th Jan

with beloved ASEAN darlings. cheeks calls it an opening ceremony to the real day. cafe del mars is a funky,cool new club/bar/restaurant at sentosa. a must-visit if u'd like a party with jacuzzi, cool music and pool by the beach!

serious discussion

told ya there's a jacuzzi- no joke!

as kl was bored, i had to entertain her by receiving blessings and pecks on the cheek by 25 total strangers. here's proof!

PART IV - mini primary school gathering @ nydc - 20th Jan

khay shern happened to be in sg around that time so we went for dinner together with kl n yichin. wanted wanling to join too but forgot that her mum's birthday is the exact date as mine. we talked bout how 6m gathering went last month and how Ian was afraid of me so he dared not attend the dinner. hahaha... thanks ks.. next time it'll be my turn to be a good host so that u wont always end up paying... for dimsum the other time too =]

on my way to suntec

PART V - NUS bash @ st. james power station - 20th Jan

with more ASEAN darlings. they really burnt their pocket to make me drunk. i ended up first like a little kid saying : ''before you do anything...you must PEE first'', asking ''is this my favourite cubicle'' in the toilet, and couting till 100 and wanted to hide before kl comes outta toilet. then i turned into emily rose, a monster who kept ''urrgghh urrgghh'' when touched. and of course the endless puking after 4 mugs of beer and black label with a STRAW which speeds up the gas flow!!! there goes my title of being sober to the last in every drinking session.

and i met my jc classmates too - dy, ym, carol, sm... i was told that i went ''NOOOOOOOOO'' out loud when i saw them later, already drunk =[
sorry guys!

* for more details of my embarassing moments, simply ask kailin or download the video at *******

weekend fever

2007-01-17T22:40:00.000+08:00

this week is almost coming to an end while i still havent gotten the mood to update 'bout what happened last weekend.

well, friday was a crazy night. roomie wanted to eat supper at the hawker's along bus 179 route so we went cycling in the rain. needless to say, we looked wet and sexy when we reached after a 20mins ride. here's proof:

saturday, on the other hand, was my first outing with shermaine's deli apprecio club, a club in ntu which people gather to have good food! we went to Big Fish around bedok area for a set meal of grilled fish, brownies, garden salad and onion soup. it was a little awkward as such good food was shared with total strangers =P heard that the upcoming trip will be chocolate buffet @ clarke quay *slurp*

sunday was chocolate fondue party @ NUS with cheeks and gang. It was an eye opener to see keling-- karthik getting drunk and acting like a bowling ball while treating us like pins. HAHAHA . we played I NEVER but all shall remain within the walls of that sheare's lounge. and, sadly, no pictures of that drunk keling.

during the week, we had lunch with the bms guys for the 1st time since 6 months in the same course as ys and roger thought there should be some interaction. it did seem rather awkward too as though as it was a match-making session. weird... =P

salsa/waltz classes were fun! prefer salsa though as the music is more lively. oh and instructor's sexy moves and butt-swaying!!

and another stayover session at mich/ys' place and i met wangjing and koala, their new neighbour who are exchangees from china. they did seem different our usual perception of prcs though. they're in comm studies and with pretty faces. newscasters-to-be man! way-to-go girls! and we will be attending pilates classes together soon=]

i'm back in ntu!

2007-01-11T20:05:00.000+08:00

the 1st week of school is still an extension of the holidays for me. sleptover at mich n yingshi's room. they were very nice to join their mattresses on the floor for me to sleep as their bed frames are unmovable. played mahjong with hall fellows and won 17 bucks but as usual, never got the winning money. yesterday, learnt poker for the first time with the hall guys, who are all pro players already. to me, it's a game of luck and psychology. if u have the luck and ability to fool your opponents, u're on your way to big bucks. genting here i come! oh yea, i started tcm courses. and for this term, omg! i have 12 hrs of ancient chinese (wen yan wen) per week.

as for the holidays......

dear friends, i wasn't bombed in bangkok. thanks for your concern =] was very close though, we cancelled our plan to attend the countdown party due to laziness and was sleeping during the bombings at 8 spots. we did visit the places abt 3 hrs before the incident and i swear we knew nothing until we read the papers on the flight the next day.

places to visit in Bangkok: the floating market to get a hang of the local custom and also to visit the ancient thai temples along the river; chatuchak market to but local handicarfts; platinum mall to shop at wholesale prices when you buy 3 and more pieces (a must-visit! really! exact tops from far-east at 20, 30+ dollars are found at 90 bahts, which is 9 ringgit, which is also 4 dollars!!! ) ; health spaland, a hot spot for a 2-hour traditional thai massage at 350 baht; a ride on the tuk-tuk, a motor-trishaw which i believe got its name from the ''tuk tuk '' sound of its large exhaust pipe

oh btw, i forgot to mention our bumpy start to the trip. our purchase of airasia ticket online was claimed to be incomplete and they jacked-up the by 3x if we were to buy on the spot. so dad refused to and we nearly ended up home. luckily we went over from LCCT to KLIA to check out other airlines. after waiting til 1pm (mind you, we woke up at 4am to catch the supposed 8pm flight) we borded thai airways at RM900+ . the trip is not so budget-ed afterall. oh well...

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

bye-bye permed hair, welcome the new me for the year 2007! in straightened hair and hopefully with clearer thoughts

managed to catch up with lotsa darlings before 2006 ended.
yeetyan, my best friend since standard one. since both of us are jan babes, we will make it a point to meet up for lunch every year and do a prezzie-exchange =]

kailin dear, whom i couldn't find more time to go on a bra-shopping spree with. we'll do it in sg then!

hongling, the one with THE CAR to chauffer me around =] she's doing med in india and has lotsa interesting stories to tell bout her internship.

huiching, another babe with a car for mamak sessions. can laugh at any jokes. non-jokes alike

leeling, my lepak kaki during secondary school days & teman for trips/ concerts. her in her most lady-like outfit to date

terry and yen mei at sungai wang. they came up to kl and nearly had to camp at my place as all the hotels were fully booked. [yenmei MIA]

on my bus ride back to sg on the glam bus- aeroline, i met this very friendly and pleasant indon girl, nengsi- bus rides aren't all that boring after all.

oh and as usual, i would spend some time in the kitchen, trying out new recipes. this time, it's SUSHI!!! and cheese tarts, my expertise [wahahaha]...

don't worry, dad

2006-12-17T15:45:00.000+08:00

daddy seems very bothered lately... more quiet than usual... less jokes...
apparently there has been a corporate reshuffling in his company. his direct boss has just been kicked out of the board of directors just like scenes from any TVB drama. and the new directors are giving him a hard time.

sigh... I would be struck by lightning if I ever dare worry him bout my education fund now.

so, people who are concerned...>>>>>> sin-jia-po is where i shall stay. (unless some full overseas scholarship pops out of nowhere from now)

thanks so much for your support all these while... I'll be stronger and happier. we shall make NTiU a happy land... and leave lotsa pretty, fun, lame, bakchi, youthful, moliu, the yay-ness, gay memories.

papa was so relieved when he heard that i could give up the notion of going overseas =]
papa, i haven't yet given up, i'm just putting it on hold... for masters, for PhD... and possibly with my own will, own means =P

Humour & post-exam flashback

2006-12-03T20:07:00.000+08:00

mr. rajesh, my jc tutor once wrote in my official testimonial: "blessed with a sense of humour, she was well-loved by her peers and tutors"

to quote an article i just read,What Your Humor Style Says About You:
''In today's personality stakes, nothing is more highly valued than a sense of humor. If someone has a great sense of humor, we reason, it means that they are happy, socially confident and have a healthy perspective on life. ''

wait a minute... IS THAT TRUE?? so, i read on

"... Being funny isn't necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being, his research has shown; it may just as likely be a sign of personality flaws. ... humor is a double-edged sword. It can forge better relationships and help you cope with life, or it can be corrosive, eating away at self-esteem and antagonizing others..."

well, that sounds more convincing to me, a person blessed with a sense of humour

apparently, humour takes on different styles:

Put-Down Humor: This aggressive type of humor is used to criticize and manipulate others through teasing, sarcasm and ridicule. It's a socially acceptable way to deploy aggression and make others look bad so you look good. BUT it does take a toll on personal relationships.
Bonding Humor: People who use bonding humor are fun to have around; they say amusing things, tell jokes, engage in witty banter, and generally lighten the mood. They're perceived as warm, down-to-earth and kind, good at reducing the tension in uncomfortable situations, and able to laugh at their own faults. BUT it can have a dark side. After all, a feeling of inclusion can be made sweeter by knowing that someone else is on the outs.
Hate-Me Humor: In this style of humor, you are the butt of the joke for the amusement of others. BUT a small dose of it is charming, but a little goes a long way: Routinely offering yourself up to be humiliated erodes your self-respect, fostering depression and anxiety. It also can backfire by making other people feel uncomfortable.

honestly, i think i've employed all 3 styles. knowingly or unknowingly??? but the line "... it can be corrosive, eating away at self-esteem and antagonizing others" did struck me somehow...

anyway, exam has passed for almost a week now... ask me what i did ? haha

day 1
yingshi and mich were such darlings to accompany me to simlim to get a hardisk. we then went to orchard to shop! leading a tai-tai life with them @ coffee club

at night, mini-birthday celebration for chun leen @ cafe iguana after watching happy feet! mao was with us for the show and together with kailin and me, were busy tying christmas balls to a string of grass patches as a birthday gift for chunleen. heck we have the guts to call it a birthday gift =P. at clarke quay, 6 of us end up like a pile of mess after fish bowls of cocktail, tequila pop, funny funny shots and beer. i should say everyone was rather busy: posers pose, pukers puke and naggers nag. hahaha. ahn chi was crawling here and there shouting and puking while charlie was posing by the riverside emoing. chun leen on the otherhand nags and warns jason from touching me and kailin. he is damn noisy when he's drunk wei!

day 2
hangover after day one. couldnt take in a single drop of water or any food. rushing to and fro from my bed to the toilet. a few rounds when i couldnt make it, i just threw up at a sink next to the hot water dispenser. when i was done and turned around, there was a girl who was making milo beside me and looked at me with pure horror and disgust. sorry girl =P

day 3
drama day! was catching prison break for the whole day. no brains, no food and no sleep required. roomie's mum came over so i cooked for her. went jp to but the ingredients and had a free lunch for helping mdm irene, a lady i met at nus bus-stop with her survey. thx!

day 4
waking up late for the shopping spree with mich and yingshi but woke up late cuz the alarm was set on a pm mode. yingshi was sooo pissed that the day was called off. was feeling sorry for the whole day before deciding to continue with prison break and finished it! it was a friday night so me and kailin were obliged to get our butts outta campus, so we went wala-wala! the pub with a live band @ holland village i so wanted to check out! then after some martini, beer, escargots and ceasar salad with cheeks, we headed to lao pasat for more food. brit joined us later, for stingray and satay of mutton, babat, liver and lungs.

day 5
yingshi's hardisk had some prob so we headed to simlim again and shopped along orchard again. haha. had another free lunch at M-hotel. Thx mr.L!

orchard is back with the festive mood again! this year better

day 6
korean drama time! my schedule for drama is gonna be global man. next up, jap drama?
vannessa came back from australia and she'll be sleeping over at our place! she's doing so well in adelaine, scoring distinctions and higher distinctions.

those were the days

2006-11-25T15:14:00.000+08:00

you know what? i tend to tear when i flip through pictures of me when i was young. i would think of mum and dad who thought they have given birth to a lil' girl who's plain cute and obedient.

little would they know that as the older she has grown, the more problems and headaches she would bring about.

[randomly sketched when i was supposed to be mugging for org.chem & biostats ]

that's me carrying my sis, in NZ.
btw, that younger sis was born in NZ.
mum used to tell me how jealous i was when sis joined the family.
and the two of us cried when the doc announced that mum's 3rd baby's a girl.
we really wanted a baby brother then, considering how we often get into cat fights.

i just fail to capture my own droopy eyes & retarded look

the not-so-simple girl

taken when i was 1?
mind you, there's no more evidence of my existence anytime before this as grandma thought that cameras are harmful to babies.
my aunts tell me i was one who could laugh non-stop and cheer everyone around up.
hopefully i still could and still do. geez......

this is dad's fish n chips take away shop.
dad's an engineer bout couldn't find a job as one in NZ.
still, he's very very capable and strong-willed: even with the newly acquired skills of battering and frying, his burgers are claimed by the kiwis as the best in town!!!
there's me on the other hand, always stealing chocs and flirting with other lil' boys.
caught red-handed!

the china doll in the city of wellington, NZ
i asked mum and dad why we went to nz for the 2 years,
apparently msia was in an economic crisis during that period.
and i bumped into this retrenchment letter of dad's.
it was dated exactly as my birthdate: 20.01.1986
if daddy was superstitious enough, he probably thought i brought bad luck to him...
but he didn't and probably never will... oh, i fell like crying again

mum on the other hand, strives everyday to be a better mum... i'm rather harsh on her at times although realising that both of us need to learn along the way because being the eldest, u're probably the 1st to be tried-and-tested on and experimented with. sorry, mum... i do have my own dreams but will need ur assistance to fulfil them...

growing up is possibly not the best thing that we wish could happen,
but we need to, at least for our parents...
who have given us some of the best years of our lives......

pop your head out!

2006-11-25T02:00:00.000+08:00

suddenly i just thought of this possible stalker named jianliang...

hey man, if u still check this blog out once in a while,

Please pop your head out and say hi!

(and leave ur blog link too if u happen to have one)

{a pic taken in my uni-NTU, believe it or not}

mellow, shallow, yellow...

french class ended officially after the test on last monday. gonna miss the sarcastic monsieur nicolas and my fellow classmates a lot. they were such funny and fun people who helped me pull through in ntu.

nicolas acts like a star here, i think he could pass as one from bollywood with all the dancers around. before i forget their names: phuang.yz.tan.jacob.weiting.june.ys.anusha.christina

and mummy and sis came down for a holiday. ma treated us to seoul garden, their first-time experience here

sorry swen it's my best pic of u here =P

me and mao catched NOTRE DAME DE PARIS during the exam period. ppl thought we were nuts to have such guts.

the stage of singapore indoor stadium behind

we fell in love with the songs LesTemps des Cathedrales (The Times of the Cathedrales) and Beau Comme le Soleil (As Beautiful as the Sun) instantly and kept singing to them from the cd naz passed to us. And I was pretty excited to put my french lessons to use as I could partially understand the lines on stage. still, we were very busy reading english or mandarin subtitles given at the sides of the stage.

kelly: an exchangee fr HK, she sent me most of the other notre dame songs after knowing how i love them. such a darling =]

a good luck charm for exams fr sher. thx dear

oh, and my maiden jog with chunleen and mao was was was..... >5km!

can u believe it? i seriously can't cuz i didn't know i ran that far. phew!!! u go muscle ache!

bye bastard n f**ker

2006-11-06T16:58:00.000+08:00

so, the pussies are gone! luckily, no brain is still here to keep mao n kailin company. ha, cuz she'll remind them of ME.

this is no brain! really quite a no-brainer =]
but damn damn adorable- from the "piak" sound effects of falling down to those eyes of 'puss in boots' from shrek2 while peeing, she'll just make u laugh out loud.

meet f**ker, who looks like a dairy cow u find in NZ

and also bastard who's unusually tame now, prolly still in trauma of being sandwiched badly on her way to ntu

oh and kailin such a patient and sweet lil' mum- she priotises them and sacrifices her outings and even cleans their poop

Despite all, i must confess that im no pet lover... particularly because i'm SCARED of them. yet to overcome the fear. i can't recall why. probably because i was traumatised while i was young. One night, when i brought food out to feed a kitten at the porch, my sisters just closed the mosquito net, denying me access into the house as they too were afraid of the kittens. so, the kitten mistaken me for her mum and came following me around while i ran around avoiding it, almost crying. and another time, i visited grandma in malacca and was welcomed by her two huge hospitable dogs which came humping on me till i fell to the floor and had paw prints all over my shirt. eeeeeeee

On another note, SPCA may not be the best resolution to settle stray animals u find. i was shocked to hear that they actually put animals sent to them to sleep! Abused animals get preferential treatment however. They do keep the animals who were reported as being abused by their owners or whatsoever. Does it mean that if we want to sustain their lives, one way out is to slightly abuse them then file a report?

Oh well, I wouldn't send my new pet to SPCA- bunny!
this is supposedly erlin's b'day present. just trying on while in NUS

met shinfei, who has grown more mature and steadier

and kenyee, who's as noisy and hyper as usual =P

and choon yoon too! and u know what ppl say... once a camwhore, forever a camwhore

hey, meet my bms/tcm coursemates!

french coursemate too: elle s'appelle ying shi. she calls me chinchin. we bought the superman tee together and decided to parade it around campus together one day. so we did it!

and michelle, yingshi's roomie who calls me fuifui.

oh and my downstairs-neighbour, shermaine. we visited mak leha and pak ramli who invited us to their house for a hari raya treat: rendang ayam, gulai daging, udang cili.... they're kind souls who keep our hall clean. we had lotsa kuih-muih too

a big THANK YOU to the sanitary engineers of hall 3 =]

lastly, my motto of life for now:

thoughts......

2006-10-30T02:17:00.000+08:00

i once claimed that this shall be my non-whining, non-emoing blog, but considering how i suffered from insomnia for the past few weeks, i thought i had to clear my thoughts. i thought going back home was a good idea.

so i here i am, home.

yes, i know. exam is bloody near. one which i hv no idea how i am going to do well or even face.

Others tell me I’m strong-willed, steady. I thought they were adapting fine. We soon realized it’s just a game of ‘lei tai ngor hou, ngor tai lei hou’. The grass is greener on the other side, so they say.

I thought through what is about sg that I have yet to grow fond of. Or just, why the dislike?

Besides the series of ego-deflating tragedies in jc which we managed to pull through and proved ourselves in the end, probably a few encounters here and there made me have this mindset bout sg which I cant get rid till now. I know, u meet bad guys everywhere. But one or 2 will just spoil the whole impression of a place sometimes.

It was march 2003, when the happy/top of the world/elated me went back to dunman hostel office after collecting my spm results of 11A1. everyone was congratulating me when this air con uncle came up and shook my hand too after hearing bout the news. But soon after my teacher mentor claimed that I’m a scholar from Malaysia, he went: “huh?! Not o-levels ar?” and let go of my hand while his mood changed as if he just pms-ed and left the office. Okay, this was the first time I felt discriminated by a sg as a Malaysian. No matter how not up to the standard of o-levels is SPM, we did try our best and achieve what we wanted. Can u just shrug your shoulders and give no accreditation to Malaysian qualification. Maybe, they CAN…

Another time, I was boarding a public bus from the Malaysian embassy near bugis, after renewing my passport. As I’ve forgotten to top up my ez-link, I asked the uncle if I could pay student fare since I showed my student concession card and was in tj uniform. He said NO so I paid full adult fare without sounding a word. After I found a seat, he just had to shout across the bus to me, saying: “what a liar at such a young age!” excuse me ar uncle… I wasn’t lying that im a student and I did pay the adult fare as told. What makes me a liar?!! Oh well…

Madam foo, the matron of our hostel also once scolded me to requesting her to open the locked com room. I was afraid the cleaner the next day would just own my purse and wallet without anyone noticing. She refused to at first, scolding me non-stop of how as a scholar, im not smart enough to take care of my stuff. If you cant even take care of your things, you’re just too stupid to study here (implied). There she goes again, insulting one’s intelligence. I know I’m super careless. So to scholars, carelessness= stupidity?

This encounter on the other hand, is about a kind-hearted fortune teller. It’s also about how I’ve already shown signs of breaking down and succumbing to sg’s pressure. I was at bedok interchange at that time when I felt lost and didn’t know whether to tell mum bout something and also my decision to stay or leave for jpa I think. (laugh as u may, yea…I resorted to a fortune teller for help) So, the uncle was giving me guidance, saying although life is tough, u ought to stay as u’ll have a brighter future and that sort of thing. As I listened, I couldn’t help it but tears just kept rolling down my cheeks. Yes IN PUBLIC!!! And u can expect to see aunties waiting in line to ask for 4-D number pointing at you saying: so chek ak (kesian), come here study alone. Singapore’s education system really stressful hor. Aiyo, really hard one. Their words certainly wasn’t comforting at all. The more they say, the more tears that kept gushing through my tear ducts. The uncle thought I was really poor and offered not to charge me anything. Really thank you, uncle. Immediately after the ‘consultation’, I dashed towards the library toilet and cried for hours.

Well there will be more if I were to count, but other cases might be just due to my retarded appearance which just make people look down on me.

So, u see… no matter how strong someone appears on the outside… one is still human, afterall.

yes...masters

2006-10-22T23:50:00.000+08:00

sorry guys, considering life now, there's really nothing to update about

but since u asked for it

so here it is......

yc's surprise party

2006-10-13T19:44:00.000+08:00

atas permintaan yuenleng yang bahagia-hagia di lautan undan (swan, as translated with the help of karthik) saya perlu mengatas-tarikhkan blog ini...

pada hari yang mulia ini- harijadi yichin, segerombolan kami kira-kira 10 orang telah berpakat untuk memberi kejutan kepadanya sebagai hadiah harijadi.

bilikie-nya (as in roomie), kk dan saya telah membincangkan pelan kami sejak zaman dahulu lagi. pada 9pm, kita telah mengajak chef-chef kita untuk lauk pauk seperti kentang koyak (mash potato la), salad buah-buahan dan dan pasta, iaitu bulu-bulu dan s-may untuk menyediakan makanan.

pada pukul 11pm, sementara yang lain berkumpul di atas bumbung sekolah seni, yang bertumbuhan rumput-rampai, kk telah mengembangkan bakat lakonannya untuk mengumpan yc ke atas bumbung itu. menurut yc, lakonannya baik sekali sehingga hampir menangis.

setelah jason mengisyaratkan kedatangan yc dari bawah, kami telah menyembunyikan diri dan hanya meninggalkan sekeping kek dengan lilin bernyala di atas tanah. Apabila yc ternampak kek itu, kami berlari bagai penghuni berpegang parang untuk membunuhkan serigala dalam cerita dongeng 'lelaki yang bertangisan WOLF'

erm, i suppose u're enjoying the horrendous malay up til now but i can take it no more...

tukang masak's for the day
(notice how oily our faces are though all the stuff were instant food)

kl.yh.me.gynee(the b'day girl of the night)
this night when i was traumatised by a superhornyimustgetlaidtonite(here on known as @#$%&*) guy.
his pick up line went like this: so, u're from ntu?hv u tried the BEEFBALL noodles there?
erm...wth! that's not end of the story... while i was signalling for help from the rest at the elevated platform, they thought i was having fun. and this @#$%&* guy said: hey, im wearing calvin klein underwear. then he conveniently pulled up his shirt to show me... argh!!!! can die... i was a bit retarded la for putting up with him for quite long. finally, i reached out to kl who's avoiding from a similiar @#$%&* guy like shit. so we chao lou together and dashed to the ladies.
so wth.

then as our usual routine, we would head straight for gon-lou mee sua, one of singapore's hard-to-find good food

interesting site from pat's
http://www.tuvy.com/entertainment/horoscope/wood_ox.htm

WOOD OX Horoscope
Jan 25, 1925 to Feb 12, 1926Feb 20, 1985 to Feb 8, 1986

Oxen in China are put on a pedestal. So it goes with Oxen people. Oxen are bright, peace-loving, often easy-going and trusting. But, on the other hand, they can also be stubborn, methodical, and fiercely competitive, with, shudder, fierce tempers to boot. Oxen are natural born mentors and life is filled with examples of people who have gone on to great success because of them. Mentally and physically alert to the point of genius, many Oxen belong to Mensa. They can create the most imposing structures, magnificent sculpture, and homes. They respond like poets to the beauties of nature and of solitude. Oxen are unique, they are The Flower that bursts through the crack of cement.

Bird's Nest Soup and Bean Curd are among the keys to good health!!

Great fun these Wood Oxen, with their marvelous sense of humor that patches up just about everything in their path, winning chuckling friends along the way. Like typical oxen, they are open-minded, with a "laissez-faire" philosophy towards others. They conduct their own lives with a strong moral code and receive and deserve admiration and trust for their integrity. Practical all the way, Wood Oxen never make rash decisions and are always considerate of the needs of others. Another story is money! Finances are not too stable because of that old devil Credit! Why, they would buy a dinosaur if they were just offered one with a dollar down and a dollar a week. Not only that, they lend money to friends, not a good idea! Despite a volatile financial life, their careers are pretty successful. Since they are generally such quick learners, all they have to do is control their impulsive spending and try saving for a change. When it comes to moonlight and roses, Wood Oxen have it made. Because they are such good communicators, they know that nothing chills a romance like a cold shoulder. They talk over differences right away, never letting trifles build up into resentments. Wood Oxen are very devoted to their family and family life is rich with treasure.

Famous Ox People: Tung Chee-Hwa, Sukarno, Richard Burton, Napoleon, Charlie Chaplin, Peter Sellers, Margaret Mead, Jawaharlal Nehru, Eisaku Sato, Princess Diana

is my blog replacing my effort to update friends on msn?

2006-09-11T22:11:00.000+08:00

it has been another 2 weeks in ntu. you ask me how has uni been so far?

well, tcm hasn't started. so, don't bother asking me how does it feel like being a partial sinseh.
our lecturers are from all over the world: the uk, hk, india, korea and of course prc.
lab sessions are not as organised as jc. that means no more constant stares from u-know-who and no more 1-to-1 equipments.

as for electives:
i'm taking french language
just had my first french language test (for goodness' sake, vynlee n ad- it's not a frenching test)
7/10 . if it were to be a frenching test. utterly disappointing.
french classes are very fun! my tutor, nicolas (read: nikola) somehow reminds me of mr.R, the sarcasm n all. what i've learnt so far? "con"(french) = cb (hokkien) = puki (malay) =p

the other elective:
(hold ur breath and read aloud at one-go)
"Operations and Quality Management in Manufacturing and Services Industry"
operations management in short.
Damn retribution. i remember how i use to make fun of OM chan during dunman hostel days, saying those were his initial which stand for Chan Ong Meng. now, im taking his specialty.
anyway, this is fun as well. the class is diversed: people from accounting, biz, engineering and foreigners like swedish, german......

and what's uni without outings/fun with your bestest mates:

WOMAD - world of music, art and dance
as recommended by my french tutor, it was good.
particularly like the reggae band from thai and dj.....PUKI. we luv u!

yuenleng darling came down for a last farewell reunion before she flies off to swansea, uk.

M.O.S - 70's floor was packed with ang mohs and gays. and the hottest target was none other than chunleen! =P

our very very last k-session together til 3am

and sinful treats to nydc and redstar, a dimsum hotspot among hongkies @ chinatown.
it's worth breaking the diet rules for your bestest pal once in a while (ok, i admit. i wanted it)

but unfinished, still in progress =]

disclaimer: this is kept as a happy blog so far, avoiding whiny and emo posts.

my Gong Gong

2006-08-08T11:29:00.000+08:00

gong passed away at the age of 92. many would say it's a blessing to live this long. but i know gong still has the fear of death. maybe it's the conservative chinese thinking. he fought hard against diabetes and cancer.

gong, i'll never forget......

those days when we went for a traditional chinese detox plan together and raced to the toilets almost 10 times a day

those days when i bummed at home and you would give me pressure by saying "ni moh ki zho gong ar? mang duk shu ar?" ( translation fr hakka : u're not going to work? school hasn't started?) and would shake your head and smile

those days when you would give us bundles of vege from your farm whenever we balik-ed kampung

those days when you would award me with 100 bucks each time i score straight A's in major exams

that time when you suddenly joined your 3 crazy grand daughters in the shaolin kungfu stunt when we were on a expedition to search for our roots in Guangdong, China

those days when you would complain to me that the maid was abusing you for giving you sour food when she actually cooked you tomyam. haha =]

that time when you accused the kids for eating up your porridge, when they were actually having cornflakes in milk =]

those days when we had to keep all your favourite sweet food away from you while we ourselves eat in guilt

those days when you cheated daddy to a malay kampung to buy your favourite mangoesteen
and said "hari ini....." "......dua chut" (mass production in hokkien). everyone in the car burst out laughing as we were all amazed to find you speaking malay and were expecting a complete malay sentence =]

bye~~~ gong gong

2006-08-02T17:55:00.000+08:00

while i was trying to settle into NTU, joining camp after camp, i received a really bad news from home just after msa camp, a camp for malaysians. sis sent me a msg saying grandpa had passed away. after all the struggle and battle against cancer and diabetes, he had no choice but to give in.

so, i left hall 3 camp and rushed back to malacca...

however it left me with a regret. I was not able to see him b4 he caught his last breath...

until now, i still sometimes do not know why i'm in malacca for. but, come to think of it, gong gong is really gone. no more hakka lessons or joking around with him.

got to go for prayers, I shall reserve my next post for my beloved gong gong. updates on camps later.

farewell BBQ- so long m'sia,home n friends~~~

2006-07-22T23:43:00.000+08:00

so the bbq at my place went well, despite the initial rushing in n out, up n down, to n fro from the pit to my place on the 17th floor.

i woke up at 6++ to go pasar with mum to get fresh chiken wings n other bbq stuff. (it's alright folks as uni n orientation will be starting soon. damn!)
i wanna thank mummy for preparing so much food for us, i will miss your dishes in sg.

yuen leng dear came earlier with wine n junk to help out at the kitchen. we discussed the proper way of cutting the fruits together after i prepared stuff for non-halal pizza (pineapple, ham, charsiew, capsicum n mushroom).

soon, 'the car' arrived and it was time to prepare the pit.

ck n kenny were good helpers with poking balls n wings =P

while brit was better in using 'kipas kimutaku' *read aloud in doraemon/ nobita's voice - malay version*

oh! and a scene that set everyone present laughing

cast : kailin n daryl

scene 1 : after being provoked by ck, me the queen threw a mass of tissue (represented by the moon here) towards him

scene 2 : the tissue bypassed ck and nearly hit the lovey dovey couple, so they tried to avoid it, but....

scene 3 : they set the already brittle poor chair into pieces

scene 4 : tamatlah riwayat kerusi merah ini yang telah berkhidmat untuk keluarga kuh bertahun-tahun lamanya.

these are shinfei's n brit's homemade dimsum (they're actually wasabi-stuffed marshmallows) as a punishment for their "spicy sushi who will eat, i won't eat, u will eat....." game. (sf, don't boleiheart ya, sadly u were MIA in pics)

the hoois got punished...and leonghui's vein on the forehead was quite visible as if triggered by wasabi

other kesian faces of those who got punished too

ironically, the creator of that awful sh** (retribution, dear)

hl

CK

not forgetting the taman sea peeps

hl.me.sy.LL.jm.sara (and karkei and huixian too)

just a random pic we took @ italiannies ( with sk n rachael)

i will miss u guys~~~~~~ august, u guys promised ok? must come to sg!!

the night did not end just like that... after chatting til the wee hours with ck, kenny, yuenleng, brit and earlier on daryl n kailin,

brit, yl n i proceeded to a chic slumber party as the slept over for the night. jimui talk til 4am in the morn.

not enough still, the next day i went for my last k-session with yl n in msia at the newly open neway @ 1u . swear it's my last one in a few months. 8 in a row already.

i am really gonna miss yuenleng- no more camwhoring neighbour, no more gamfei partner, no more gossip feeder. no girl, u won't regret ur choice to go uk! come back with a british accent and take up my challenge to get an ang moh bf yea!

to other peeps who i did not get a chance to bid farewell officially...i'm off for the red dot (more specifically, ntu) for another 3 years. do keep in touch with me and find me or even stay over at my new room when u visit Sg. so long. ta~~~~~~~~~

bak kut teh. k-session. stayover

2006-07-14T13:06:00.001+08:00

despite looking like a zhutaupeng, i insisted on joining the rest (sf,brit,eh,lh,ky,0.5 ck) for babifest at klang with shinfei.
# why 0.5? cuz he only joined half of the outing.ask no more #

so in order to avoid giving nightmare to random kids on the street or the ktm, i had to cover up as much as i could.

look of the day (notice how my eyes are barely visible)

shinfei! the hostess of our klang bak kut teh breakfast.

i met kenyee too, whom the last time i saw was 3 months ago.

we watched superman returns and i find kate bosworth (lois lane) and local pop diva siti nurhaliza looking alike. no one agreed with me, though =[

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

the next day, after i went to see a doc and healed the chutaupengness...

a 5 hour k-session with meihua, eh, sinyi, kl

leftmost-meihua is a lek lui: she's going uni of cambridge in sept. she's my friend =)

notice that the mic was in sinyi's hands all the while ?

madly, 2 days ago i just went for a 4 hour one with hong ling n suying
(shall make a farewell post to all of 'em one day )

MIA: me (remember, i'm still in the chutaupeng period)

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

dinner was with huiching, mengyit and sinyi

mengyit has started her orientation with the dentistry peeps in UM. she gave up asean nus/ntu and sime darby scholarship for it. and we're encouraging her to win the cocky queen title in UM. =]

huiching's leaving for aussie tonight. i see u're having a great time there but do take care =]

then, after foosball @ asiaclub, i attended a ceremony to wish kuanyin mama happy birthday, b4 joining them again at huiching's place together with pengchuan and jianliang.

the first greeting i got from jianliang was : u fattfook already! (non canto peeps, it means u put on weight!!! ) the sedihness, and uni is starting in a week's time. gamfei my foot!

on the other hand, pengchuan complimented me. the happiness
jian liang, seems like u've been dethroned by pengchuan as the queen of sarcasm (hope the compliment wasn't a sarcasm too) ...ooh, bristol has done no good =P

so, i stayed over at huiching's place
and resumed funny latenight talks with sinyi until 6am in the morn, like those days in dunman hostel, when she was my roomie... haih, those were the days...

discovery : new allergens

2006-07-12T00:35:00.000+08:00

damn. my friends would know by now that i would turn into a zhutaupeng (piggy) if i've taken aspirin, panadol, anarex, muscle relaxant or any medicines of that same family.

this was taken 1 year ago after application of some muscle relaxant and not enuff still, a 5 km roadrun to speed up the piggifying process.
but yesterday and today, (u might say it's not that bad what... but damn the itch ! it's making me wanna go blind )
some new allergens in my body reacted and now i'm under an investigation to find out what caused it.

suspect 1 : lemon

(what? i may be missing out on lemonade, squash and cocktails in the future?)

suspect 2 : wasabi peas

(but i was fine the previous day after sushi king @ 1u)

suspect 3: pork

( what happens to my babi fest, charsiew, siulongbao, roast pork and dimsum)

no!no! nooooooooooooooooooo!!!

heck it, i'm still having klang bak kut teh breakfast with shinfei tomorrow =)

down down down...

2006-06-29T12:08:00.000+08:00

staying up through the sleepless nights to catch world cup has taken its toll on me.

yesterday without football, i felt down.

maybe, it's just part of the reasons i'm feeling so.
maybe, it's because i'm leaving home in 3 weeks' time.
or maybe, it's the aftermath of being happy and high-spirited for too long.

maybe, i've been spending without earning.
maybe, it's my still-in-vain diet plan.
or maybe the frequent jet-setting has made me leave my soul elsewhere.

maybe, i'm tired of meeting others' expectations.
maybe, i'm tired.
maybe, i'm just tired of being myself.

a rotating dick with shimering balls

2006-06-23T18:25:00.000+08:00

it was cheek's birthday so kl n me decided to spare the poor kid a day from chauffering us to 'the ship', kl for his own b'day celebration. so we went kl 5 hrs earlier to shop for uni stuff.

we came across this musical box with a rotating butterfly (usually a ballerina) and decided to modify into a ... (refer to the above title). it was a tough job, searching for inexpensive, furry, shimering balls. trust me.

our baby! there's a more outrageous version of this pic but since i'm receiving a scholarship, i shall be a good girl and publish it upon special requests only. u know wat i mean gurls =P

and since we were in 'the ship', for ck's own safety, we bought him a mickey pelampung

the deflated pelampung looks just as nice

and a tee from new urban male which reads :
"l left my heart at brokeback mountain in 1963"

lastly, as usual i'll look like a mengseng when i'm the one taking the pic.
kl, yl, whack me if u wish (nenenibubu)
