CNY 2009 part 1

After 2 full days... i dun really have much energy left... and tmr is work day!!! haix. A bit anticipate... a bit dun feel like going... hahaha! But i'm not that type of person who excuse myself from work cos of reasons like this lah. :)

Anyways... CNY was rather nice... i think i was especially tired this year cos of all the hectic 'exercises' on first day... Wii is really the best entertainment ard... and fits ppl of all ages... i guarantee... haha. It was Wii at my place the whole time the relatives were here. lol.

Morning batch of ppl from mother side are more sporty and enthu and noisy... almost everyone joined in the fun and make a lot of noise... more crazy i would say.. they were joking that we should all stay here to continue the fun instead of going around. but we still moved on lah... just that everyone's a bit tired. haha!

Then night was father side... it's just the 'children' playing... as in ppl of my generation... the uncles and aunts only looked and laughed and commented. haha. At least it's better than what as they deemed as the most horrible activity.. i.e. karaoke. Actually it's not the activity that is horrible.. it's just the ppl who wants to and likes to sing but can't sing well.. So might as well give our ears some rest for this year.. This includes the morning shift as well... =x But after quite a no. of ppl left... 2 uncles decided to give Wii tennis a try.. not bad attempt i would say.. Really bridges the gap of all ages. cool. :)

The best thing is.. after they left.. i was gian-ed of Wii... and i continued playing on my own... and i played till 2am. plus online a while... i actually slept around 3am. But i woke up at 10+ this morning leh.. still VERY tired. in fact i already feel like sleeping at 9pm. I can really tahan.. Will sleep after this post man.

Today is more of usual routine.. so nothing much really... just that i am plain tired after a whole day out... Yea.. luckily i posted abt my first week of IBL already. if not there wun be anymore post on that. cos i dun think i have the time to do it anyway. haha. More IBL, more school, and more visiting!!

For now. it's sleep time! And Happy New (牛) Year everyone. Good luck in ur studies or work for the rest of the year!! :) Nitex.

CNY. here i come. :)

A rather taxing week for me... Lotsa things to do and to attend also.. And i forsee even busier weeks!!! or even... months! haix

SYCO orientation was as usual... HAHA! But at least we have some stuff to joke about. lol. =x And unfortunately... i was part of the joke too... thou not too much. -.- How can?!?! So 没礼貌.. tsktsk...

And tues was also first day of IBL in school's division of student services. The ppl there are really nice! Friendly and easy-going. :) But since it was a half-day.. i didn't do much also... Anyway... pantry drinks not bad... hahaha! =P And ppl in the other depts are nice too! Shared the same office cos DSS only has 3 full-times... and i'm the only intern in that office. :)

Wed was work again... not bad an experience... sat at the counter to use the mac desktop cos mine wasn't ready yet... so attend to all those enquiries too... And seriously... sometimes will really meet some very interesting students... Learnt a lot really..

After work went to meet joyce, hweeming and sis at tamp. hweeming went all the way to tamp to buy DS lite!! lol!! such an addict. hehe. Met joyce at bugis and we went down tgt. dinnered and shopped a while... and sis finally got a pair of shoes.. in that a-lot-of-ppl C&K. super flooded with ppl but service still quite good leh...

Thurs work again... they have cny celebration... and catered food for the staff wor... surprised that they will ask me to go too... cos i was only there for like not even 3 days. haha! but anyways i felt quite awkward -.-''' So i tried to stick to ppl in my dept/office. =P Meet thesis supervisor and had lesson at night... VERY shag.

And yet... fri was a day out. meet up with von again cos she said she got stuff to pass me.. it turns out to be my doraemon comics!!! omg... i totally forgotten about them already. she borrowed it when we were still in jc. i wondered if she still got any with her. lol. anyway.. accompanied her to french medicure, and shop for clothes too. and mission completed! Like finally. lol.

And had to go to school again! A bit sian but the course is quite good actually... get to discuss and hear other ppl's opinion. But there's really very few ppl who attended. what's with the rest of the ppl? i dunno. afterall it's a free course.. and we should be glad to be able to attend it.. so yea. i decided to attend the last session next week. (although at first i was still comtemplating whether to go or not..)

Actually now i also very tired... going to sleep soon... helped to clear some stuff today... i think i just gotta be decisive and throw away more things during normal days... hahaha! room and study room much neater... still have to give my dad the credit for it ba... Finally it's going to be cny. A few days to enjoy... but also a few days to worry. After that it will be 3 full days! I think i'm going crazy already. assignments, presentations, thesis, ibl. And next month. it's all these plus work and syco. I'm crazy to get myself so many things to do... i think mum will think i'm crazy too... but maybe i'll try it out first... might be more effective for my assignments since i only have so little time left. We'll see. :)

Anyways... Happy CNY everyone!! :))) Get more ang pows and eat more goodies. HEE! (anyway... the bak kwa which i queued for the other day is really quite good! Nice. :) Luckily. haha) So happy i got everything ready. haha! First time dun need to worry and dun need to get anything else on the eve. except for ice cream. Haha! Nitex!

Crazy for Bak Gua

The weekend was rather well-spent.. while today... is a total crap. haha.
If you think this is the craziest thing i've done... Today i broke the record...

I waited stood under the hot sun for 5 freaking hours to get this.... RAHH!!!

Too bad i didn't have wireless there.. if not i would have blogged on the spot.. to complain. lol! It's at Kembagan... just opp. the Shell petrol station. Apparently a lot of ppl goes there. And i'm one of them.. under my sis' order.

As if the wait isn't bad enough... there's a uncle behind ranting and ranting over the same thing... It's already annoying enough to be standing under the hot sun the whole time... somemore he repeat the SAME thing! i mean... at least like say different issues still fine. I nearly rolled my eyes. Like everyone's the same... he's not the only one who is waiting so long. but poor him lah... cos he went to buy on his boss' behalf... And he's only a pack for himself since he's there already... So will be more pek chek lah... But still. chill..~ Oh... Anyway.. I was there from 2pm till 7pm. The problem is... The queue wasn't exactly VERY long.. But some ppl bought super alot.. like free ones... and the ppl inside did their job quite slowly too.. so who to blame? So in order not to feel wasted... i bought slightly more than the original plan... since still got money left. Maybe that's what the other ppl think also.. But like what... $570 on bak gua?? I believe that's not the most... just the most i heard when i finally set my foot in the shop. that took me like 4.5h. -.-''' And i haven't tried it yet... wait till i do so... i will tell u if it's worth the queuing.. Anyway... there's still a lot of ppl queuing behind when i left..

Ahh... talking abt uncle ranting... Ytd i was waiting for bus to go orchard from opp. nafa... and there's this uncle who came and started telling everyone (loudly) to vote for the opposition for the next election.. he goes like ‘你一定要投反对党,千万不可以投人民行动党’.. (i'm just quoting what he said) Reason being he's in workers' party or something like that... and he applied to marry a china girl but he was rejected due to the above reason. and say that he has to run for election in order to get the application granted. and blah blah blah... he continues to repeat the same thing over and over again!! I was quite irritated actually. Cos it's YOUR business if you want to be in the opposition party. But what rights do you have to ORDER ppl to vote for whichever party? Then the other uncle who walked past was rather funny.. he said '分钱比较重要'... Which i thought could be quite true too... esp. in this recession time... :) Then i suddenly realise that i'm eligible to vote already! HAHA!

Anyway ytd was spent at uncle's house for lunch... and Hereen's nydc for dinner... plus rochor tau huay after that... Took quite a no. of pictures ba... cos some ppl are bored during dinner... and just keep snapping away.... with a few of my unglam photos -.- But i'm not scared of them!!! Haha! bleahs! Update more when i get the photos... :)

IBL starts tmr! Good luck to myself! :) Bye.

Updating my details, some jia-pa-lang stuff

I realised i haven't updated my details for 2 years!!! haha. It still says i'm in Level 1 and i'm 19. lol!!! And i tried to update my wishlist too... but i can't think of anything else!!! Maybe i'm too fortunate... i seem to have everything i need... just that there are things that i want. Hais. But will man ever be satisfied with what they have? NO! But really... I thought for so long... but couldn't get anyone out at the moment. It's like more of the things i want to do.. not have. Ok lah... i'm 知足 kinda person so i'm already very happy with what i have now... goes to explain the very short and some-very-outdated items still not cleared yet plus a few put-for-fun items. hee.

Glad that i've taken a step out to start my thesis stuff again... and i now have a more decent draft of the survey qns. I hope i still have time for it... And happy to know that i will be starting my IBL next week! Though it wasn't my ideal IBL place... but i'm happy with the arrangement and the schedule i'm given. But it also means i dun have any income for the coming month(s). Whether i will put myself back into the slots or not really depend on my ability to cope with all the things happening.

Plus i have to go SYCO prac. LOL! i think i die liao. And guess what. I think i'm destined to go syco lor... haha!!! Let me say the whole story again... Initially I can't join cos got Research Methods and IBL class on wed night... Then first day of class.. we were told there shouldn't be any RM slots cos we are supposed to meet our thesis supervisor on our own. And IBL class is like cancelled due to the feedback from my whole class. So.. My wed became free and i can go for sect prac = I can join sy!! Then dunno why this year the orientation decided to be on tues... and I have lesson on tues too. But guess what! My lecturer told us today that he got something on next week so class will be postponed = I can go for sy orientation too! HAHAHA!! What a joy. seeing the friends again!!! :)))

Yup. So actually that's all at the moment. I'm hungry due to only eating 1 curry'o from old chang kee and a cup of bubble tea for dinner. and 2 really small slices of kuah lapis and 1 small pineapple tart when i got back. I should sleep.

TMR PIA READINGS!!!!! :)

:)

Back to update again!! :)

Shan't say anything about school... But anyways... i really hope i can survive this sem... It's really going to be a tough one... And i have to get at least a 2nd upper!!! MUST! If not will be super sian-ed.. But in order to achieve that.. i have to start working hard too!! I've made a step to arrange meet up with my supervisor.. and so it means i really got to work it out. if not meet also no use... and i think i shouldn't drag this further. :) A good start to think this way... but i've got to action! And that will be tmr. HEE.

Anyway... the rest of the things. hopefully can be smooth too... and hope will be able to meet more friends too! hahaha. :)))

That's all.. i'm tired. haven't been sleeping early for the past few days... and no afternoon nap today! =x Somemore er-jie gone to batam for the weekend... so no one left to talk at this hour... might as well just go sleep and see if i can wake up to exercise early in the morning! lol! nitex

Nice and clear and accurate. Oops. forget to mention the name. He's 杨君伟. If u are my faithful reader... you should have read my entry about his book... haha.

Official entry of 2009

Ok.. someone complain i nv update! But seriously leh... too many things to update... too little time and motivation to do so. Hee.

It's already like 5 days into the new year and frankly speaking... All these years I nv really feel anything special abt going into a new year. And this year is very much the same. But i do hope that things will be better this year. For myself, for my family, for my friends, for ppl ard me, for the world. There are still beautiful things around and we should not be dejected by little things (although some could be big).

Yes. I admit that i'm really afraid of what i will be facing when the year starts. I'm not prepared for it at all. I meant my school stuff. But well. 丑媳妇终究是要见家婆的... so i should really 收拾好心情 and face all these challenges. And now i very much believe that when i've gone through all these shit... I would have grown a lot. And at the end of the day.. I still have to depend on myself... I have to be diligent and fight for what i want. I hope everything will work out well.

On a lighter note... I've been through a bit of fun this year already although today is only the 5th day of the year. The weekend was fantastic. Spent the weekends enjoying myself totally. :) Sat was kbox and dinner with the jc clique... it's one of the most 另类 friends i have.. haha! And one of the very few ppl whom do not have anything to do with CO! I really have very few non-CO friends left. haha. and we talked about the funniest things happening to each other. haha.

And sunday was with MCO huqin ppl after my lunch with family. Though it was kinda raining on my way there.. it didn't really come across to me that 'i dun want to go anymore'. Becos i know that those who are there waiting are my friends. I think most ppl did not expect that i would go at first. right? And it's really an afternoon of fun and laughter at ECP. And i think everyone didn't really wanted to leave but kinda no choice too. (they lived too far) haha. Finally i can say that to the mco ppl. lol. More of such outings are appreciated. HEE.

Lunch was good. Dim sum with family at Imperial Treasure at Airport. Food is really nice. But a bit more ex than east ocean. but i think the bill didn't end up very high ba... haha. thanks da-jie for the treat.. she got bonus mah... =P And after ECP met sylvia to shop a while at parkway before meeting yushi for prata... we seriously ordered quite big portion of food ytd. lol! Anyway managed to buy 2 pair of shoes... so yeah... shoe shopping done! :) Now left with clothes.

Anyway.. school starts tmr. No mood =.=

Last day of 2008 and First day of 2009

Finally woke up after sleeping for almost the whole day.. lol. Came back from joel's place abt 11am... (i'm glad i came back in a piece) attempted to sleep but was still feeling quite bad... and family ppl keep coming to disturb me.. no appetite for lunch... but they forced me to wake up and eat.. only ate a little although the food looks nice... went back to sleep on my own bed so that they will not be walking in and out... YEA.. finally. i dedicated the whole afternoon to sleep. only woke up at dinner time. :) Felt better after that!

So the qns is... what time will i sleep tonight? HAHA! Actually i think i'm still quite tired... i think also becos of the monthly affair... it's very late this month so it's not a very nice feeling. argh. Nv used to have this kinda problem.. I think it's the effect of both... wth.

Anyway.. some photos from ytd...
Before countdown... bridge-ing..
We were too lazy to get cups from the kitchen... inside the bowls and saucers was Sprite. lol!
Before the game... everyone was awake and happy!
Anyway... i wasn't really looking forward to the start of this year... partly cos of my school stuff... I was too occupied by other things in dec and i didn't do anything for my school stuff... Now i'm feeling super guilty and helpless so i wished 2009 hasn't come so fast. I think i screwed it all up. I just hope the better will come. my results... my intern and my thesis..
i dun think i want to play it anymore...
