Yangtze Three Gorges Tour Prelude

Hi!! I'm back... Touched down at 5.05am. Sianx. came home and slept quite straight away... couldn't sleep on the plan due to the return of my blocked nose and bad sore throat on the last day of the trip. i.e. ytd. dotx. But i wun start blogging abt my trip yet... cos photos not uploaded yet... i took 200+ photos and abt 20 videos with the digi cam... and my sis took 1000+ pictures with her pro cam... haha! And most of the photos with ppl inside are taken with her cam... mine mostly consist of only the scenery... :)

Anyway... didn't really buy anything back... basically cos we spent quite an amount of time on travelling on plane, bus and cruise... 4nights on the cruise. Thou the best in China - Yangtze 1, not the best u can get... there's nothing much on the cruise that we can do except to follow the schedule given by the cruise, i.e. to listen to the guide showing us scenery that we should look at along the three gorges along Yangtze River, and then go out to the room balcony to look at scenery and take some sea breeze on our leisure time, and also go on land for half a day every morning to visit some tourist spots and return to the cruise before lunch. There were some talks and demostrations done by artists selling their works on the cruise but some were not really interesting topics... so on our free time we either sleep, walk ard, or watch tv. Been watching the Thomas cup and Uber cup on CCTV olympics channel... it's a badminton tournament btw. Yup. that's all.. So a brief intro. Not as boring as it seems.. cos the scenery is really nice and there were some nice experience. (erm. excluding the earthquake part) Not that we experienced it... but it brings a lot of other effects... Anyway i'll talk abt it again.

Now.. let me nurse my flu first. bye.

Pre-tour

It's only less than 5 hours be4 i have to leave home for my flight at 7am to my holiday with my family except for er-jie... she will be lonely at home i think... for the next 10 days... i hope she dun miss me too much. haha!

Anyway... just to let my readers (if there's any) know that i'm not dead for the next 10days or so. I'll be away to 张家界, 长江三峡.

The madness of this trip is as mentioned above.. taking a 7am flight there... like we have to reach the airport slightly before 5am~! And why am i not sleeping yet? 2 reasons.. I'm already not used to sleeping early... and I'm having a rather bad blocked nose now, so it's not easy to get to sleep either. I dunno what's wrong but i caught a cold in this super warm weather. Sighs. Hopefully i will get better so that i can play to my fullest~

Yeah... then another mad thing is that i will reach sg ard 6-7am on 19may too... it means overnight flight again. dotx. But it also means that we are making full use of the 10days. haha. Hopefully it's an enjoyable getaway. Cos i'm seriously bored of my holidays in singapore already. lol! =x

Ok.. See u all my friends when i come back! :)))

Change of playlist

Finally decided to change my playlist! :)))

Since i'm such a tv addict nowadays... i've changed the playlist to songs from taiwan ou xiang ju(s). Hee. Firstly songs from 原来我不帅，then songs from 恶作剧2吻，then 斗牛. 要不要，1 song from 换换爱, followed by songs from 公主小妹... Very lazy to find more.. not like can finish listening while reading too. Haha! Unless stay at my blog for a long time. right? lol. Anyway the first 2 songs are like the favourite song at the moment. Haha.

That's all for the moment. HEE.

Transformation to a 宅女..

I think i've made myself a 宅女 now... (is there such a phrase? usually ppl only use on guys. i.e. 宅男) Lol. And that's the reason why i haven't been updating.

The only day i was really out in the sun to have some fun was last tues... i.e. my class outing to sentosa. And it wasn't a really sunny day and other than playing captain's ball for a while.. i didn't do much also. Just walked ard and take pictures of my classmates in action.. and played some card game. Chilled at Cafe del Mar till 9+ be4 making our way home... It was a great day i would say.

The rest of the days... other than going to sy, lunch out on some days and the trip to the travel agency on sat... i spend the rest of the time at home. either watching tv or watching shows online!! Omg. can't believe i'm living this kind of life. Thou i quite enjoyed such life. But it's rather nua lor. Plus this will result in no income for spending the coming months! how can! =x

However.. i think the 'couch potato' personality will continue for another week or so? Hmm.. that is bad. haha!!! =P Inverted commas cos i didn't really lay on a couch... Haha!!! And sometimes i sit in front of the com. I think i need to exercise soon. But these few days are hot like mad. how to go out?

So... Just finished watching 恶作剧2吻 online... Been watching on a weekly basis for the first few epis... but stopped cos of the assignments and projects.. So chionged a few epis in a day right after exams. Damn shuang. Hmm... dun really like the ending.. haha! Cos i hope the show will still continue. 20 episodes is definitely too little!!! Thou i really didn't like Ariel Lin... she made the show more interesting in a way. And I like 郑元畅! He is handsome and charming! haha! So the show is just too nice to be missed. Partly cos I wished that i can have someone like 直树 ba... The way he express is love is just so.. romantic. Although it's only in this series that he showed his love for her. not so much in the first series yea... Still. My fav show. :))) Dun mind watching it again and again. Or at least can watch a few more times. Since i already watched the first series thrice le. haha!!! =x

Then watching the last few episodes of 原来我不帅 online... How can i miss the drama with my JJ being the lead actor right!!! Haha. It might be a very crappy story.. with many incredible things happening.. But some of the stuff are realistic and as happened in our surroundings. The author likes to include interesting current affairs into the story. It's a rather funny show. 李玖哲 is damn funny in the show lah... Then again... there's only 13 episodes to it.. Maybe it's enough already. But 不知不觉 already watched till epi 11. so ending soon.

Next will be 斗牛，要不要... this one can wait a bit cos it's showing on tv now.... so if i din catch that epi on tv... then dl and watch. But the lengths quite different... so a bit ma fan. Anyway... partly also cos the show dl one got no sound. sians. and slightly longer than the JJ show. Well. obviously i'm more interested in the previous show lah. haha. But i want to watch this cos 贺军翔 is very shuai! Siyih will be very happy to see me saying this. :))) It's really a show or a stubborn girl meeting a stubborn guy. They produced quite a bit of fireworks. Woohoo! So watch!!! :)

Ok.. that's online. BUT how can i forget my tv!! Bosco Wong 黄宗泽 and Kevin Cheng 郑嘉颖 are on 8pm show 强剑... Bosco a bit naive... but very courageous and helpful. Kevin a bit cool... but is always calm and steady. Dunno who will bosco end up with. hmm... Continue to watch lor... Last 2 weeks didn't manage to watch during the weekday... have to wake up earlier on weekends to catch 5 epis tgt. haha!

Then 9pm show... this week last 5 epis already. Very nice show too... 突围行动... A whole show of schemes and whatever-not. I think the most real or scheme-less roles are Xiang Qing and RiLang. And maybe RiJin.. And the most foxie person... is really the damn father. tsk tsk tsk. But.. all these made the show worth watching... and keeps making ppl guess what will happen next and very eager to know what's the ending like. Same to me! hahaha.

If u think that's all i watch. you might be wrong. These are just the more core shows and routine ones. others include 康熙来了，麻辣天后宫，星光大道，快乐星期天... blah blah blah... I'm officially a tv addict during my holidays. Becos this is like the exact situation the last long long break last year. lol!

Ok.. Sleep time. Nitex.

Dedicated to AgKOH.

Of cos.. i promised my best friend that i will write something for her and i hope she will read this.. even thou it's exam period... :)


Well... I can totally believe that i'm doing this for her... but seriously i have no idea where to begin with... But i rmb-ed celebrating her bday every year since sec 3. The first year i was in the same class as these ppl... We planned a surprise for her that year at the void deck of a block near our school.. had someone to go get the cake while we were rehearsing for some presentation in school.. then insisted on walking that direction to bring her there.. can't really rmb what excuse we used le... But anyway i thought that was a rather nice idea. :)


Then sec 4... we celebrated for her at her ah ma's house. thou there were only 6 of us including her... i think we had fun too. playing jenga. haha! I rmb the cake was made by my mother's friend.. can't really rmb why there were only so few of us and can't really rmb why we went there to celebrate. but anyways... we still had fun after all. :)


05.. We already had the cogang formed by then... and we celebrated her bday by going to the Settler's Cafe.. the 10 of us played like the whole aftn there.. Of cos.. can't rmb what games we played then... only rmb taboo.. and some farm game. lol!


06... i rmb we celebrated it on a public hol... which i worked while some of them went to sentosa... and then met at suntec for dinner.. Very nice of them to wait till i finish work. Hee. (I rmb it was an extremely busy day at work!!!) Ok. Dined at this ramen place - 别府... it's still there now. walked ard the fountain for the first time.. kinda played with the water. =x Then went to the area above the fountain to cut her cake from four leaves. if i'm not wrong... melody went to buy it with her. Sat down there and chatted for some while be4 moving to get ourselves home. it was a lovely night.

07.. which was last year... there were only 7 of us including her... reason being the others are busy studying or working. Nonetheless... i think she enjoyed cos she didn't receive any presents on that day. haha! Anyway... after dining at Miss Clarity Cafe at bugis and then to the same place as the year be4 again! haha! And it was still four leaves cake! haha! She likes. And i think both times were the same ones. Too bad no pictures for the 06 one... not sure why. hmm.

And then this year!!! So grateful to her and her mother for preparing so much food for us... I was really bloated that night. haha! With all the yummies... Steamboat, chocolate fondue and chocolate cake. omg. But it's a good thing that she celebrated. I love the time we spend together.. sitting ard table.. eating and talking and perhaps making fun at someone. hee.

She's the person whom i probably spent most of my time out with for the past few years... Want to watch movie: find her. Want to go shopping: find her. Go swimming: find her. Study: find her. Every where and every thing. MCO, SYCO and now even work. (although i think i'm unemployed already). Thou we do not share much of our secrets (or maybe i'm the one not sharing). But i'm glad we have non-stop stuff to talk abt already.

She stated in her own blog that she should make very careful decisions from now on since she's not a minor anymore. I couldn't help agreeing. It's not that she always makes the wrong decisions... just that.. she needs to think more thoroughly than to act on impulse. The outcome might not be bad. but she's always regretting her decisions. I dunno why. So.. my advice is. Yes. U make careful considerations be4 doing it. But once you made it, go all out to do it cos there's not path of return. 人总是要向前看的. I rmb telling her last year during her bday that i hope she will have less unhappiness and complaints. haha. Of cos i think the complaints part didn't really come true lah. lol. But this year... I will hope for the same thing again. So that she will be a happier person.

Actually... Sometimes it's hard to say out how i feel abt some matters, even when i think u might be wrong in your thinkings. But i know i have no rights to change it and not that i really can do it cos you can be rather stubborn at times.. (and you know that). So these are my words for you. 凡事都不要看得太重，要多方面的思考，有时候遇到的事，不一定是不好的。不要为了一点小事就动怒，这样很快老的！要放开胸怀，这样人生才会更快乐！OK? Yeah. Sylvia, i hope you see this lah. (actually i'm sure you will lah. haha) So this year, Wish you all the best in your studies especially. And hope you finds the Mr. Right who will be listening to you nag and complain instead. Haha! Jk abt the nagging part. I will still listen to u lah! dun worry. :)))

Friends are always friends.... not to say good friends and best friends... (sound so cliche). haha~!! So please... got swimming soon. Although the day u end ur exam is the day i'm flying off!!! haix.

Dedicated to Jon

I can't believe that i'm writing a post for this person. haha! (pls be honoured ok) But actually i think he wun know abt this. hahaha!

Ytd was at his house for his 21st. The 2nd time to his house.. and both times was to celebrate his bday and both times on the same date and same day of the week. just that different year. lol! And the last time was 5 years ago!!! It's one year after i know him i think. OMG. Actually i can't really believe that i know him for so long already. (afterall, i only know my cogang ppl for 8years now only)

I think if i weren't in NY... i wun be there ytd as well... this guy just has too many friends. haha. so emm and ying and i really have to self entertain and talk to the other ppl. lol. but surprisingly.. we were one of the last ppl to leave the place. So after most of the ppl left... he finally came to talk to us.. haha! Talked for a while be4 we left to catch our buses..

Oh.. i think i digressed a bit. haha. Speaking abt him again... Erm.. actually i dunno what i could say abt him now.. or rather.. i think i dunno him that much anymore. Just that every time we meet... there's lots of things to talk and joke about. The familiarity is there i think.

Thinking of the times from we know each other till now.. he's been so far like a brother to me.. thou sometimes a bit irritating. but he's been helpful and always ready to listen to me, my problems.. esp. in the stressful days. Thou we kind of become not that close during the jc years... (a bit ironic)... cos of some stuff... i think i was too stressed up in jc. haha! but i'm glad we're still friends after all. Because he's really a good person to complain to. haha!

I think the reason why we are quite close was that we actually went through a lot tgt. the camp, the syf period, the o levels, the unlucky cc period, the 2nd intake, the synergy period, another syf, and so much more. It's just hard to describe.. and everything has become so neutral. And everything that happened seems like a dream. haha! Afterall, he's one of the people in one of my dearest groups.

Haha. After so much. i think most reading would have known who he is... although i dun really mention him to newer friends anymore. lol.

So Dear Jonathan, Wish you Happy 21st Birthday again! Erm.. hopefully you will do well in your studies coming aug in ntu.. and you will continue to hua-yue (dun waste your talent).. and your wishes can come true... and you can get someone who can control you. lol! And... GROW UP brother! (Although you are VERY big already). =x Ok. i wish he wun see this. lol. :)

Ok. that's all. Seriously i can't believe i'm doing this. Sorry Via.. cos i really didn't have time last week. I will make it up for u. haha!!!

Last day of Year 2

I know i haven't been blogging for quite a no. of days.... cos i've been really busy thou sometimes not on the tasks. =x But dun worry. I'm still alive! :)))

Of cos.. after submitting all the assignments and finishing the presentations... i'm more or less free from school for some time! not totally free yet cos still have a report to hand in... But that can be done. :)

Well.. last day of school... feel quite sad actually... esp. when u know that most of ur classmates are already not planning to stay for year 3... And some of them are the closer ones. Imagine how to survive my year 3 without the nonsense of these ppl. Hmm...

For these 2 years.. i think i really learn a lot from my classmates... and i think we have done a lot of work tgt. esp. caiwen.. we done like 8 projects tgt! a pity not having chance to work with everyone... but most of us do not want to step out of our comfort zone also lah. Well.. time to say this.. cos the happiest thing that happened this year/sem is that my group was praised for a good proposal. It was an unexpected comment from that lecturer and we were all relieved to hear that! And it was really a wonderful time working with these girls. :)

Ytd a classmate told me something that i nv expect to be told as well. I was actually very touched and I really hoped i have spent more time with my classmates outside school. All right... it's not like we can't meet outside school... but it will be different. It will be.

Then start thinking the days we moved into this new building... I really will miss the times we go rochor tau huay, the times we go bugis street to shop after class, the times we eat at HotSpot, the times we stayed at mac to do our work, the times we spent in the cosy theatre last sem, the times we walk out of school to the bus stop/mrt tgt. All the time. I will really miss these classmates who are not continuing for the degree. I very well say that I will stay for degree becos it's also what was expected of me.

Well.. maybe this will make me treasure my classmates more in level 3. Becos there's only so few of us left.. (i dunno how many.. but perhaps just half the full class).. So we should be closer and hang out more often yea. :))) Of cos not forgetting those who are leaving. we will still have some class outings yea. haha!

Regrets for the 2 years... i would say... didn't have much chance to consult and speak to my lecturers, didn't really know all my classmates well, not an event was without absentees and thus we do not have a full class photo be4 (not even today cos some left early), I haven't really been involved in what my classmates did... WOMAD, Arts Fest, Mosiac, even Sun Fest.. i dun really feel that i was in it. Then.. as mentioned, didn't work with every single one be4. And lastly... nv ever finished my assignments way be4 the deadline. lol.

But i would really like a trip with the closest friends ard... I hope we do have a graduation trip.. anywhere out of the country would be good! :)

Hmm.. raining now.. it means good time to go sleep. :))) FINALLY can sleep with ease. HEE.
Nitex and i will continue soon.

Choosing!!! - 2

Ok... i've decided on the choice. Actually it's not costa sands that my sis was talking about. it's the Pasir Ris bungalow... those that are along the way to pasir ris park! So they are very huge!!!

There are like 1 master room and 3 other rooms. Just like a bungalow that ppl lives in. SO. I've decided to give it a go. Since it's more accessible, can go pasir ris if nothing to do. Can ask ppl come bbq. Only thing is that. no more swimming. bleah.

Ok lah... just putting as first choice. whether will get or not. we'll see. if not.. there's still nsrcc yea. :) So.. no matter what. just prepare urself for 14th june. :)))

A Reply to The Reply.

Yes, I was being sarcastic. But i nv regretted working with them. I'm not trying to spoil friendships or whatever. In fact i enjoy being friends with anyone who does not mind being friend with me. And i guess that is why when we come to do serious work.. I might have higher expectations of them. Becos we are friends!

I do not deny that I feel i was being rude in that post too. but i think it's the emotion of that point of time. And i do not deny that my friend was correct in the reply to me too (a reply that none of u saw lah). And i dun think anyone of u want to see it cos it's really long. I admire him for that... like in the middle of all our assignments. And he read on although it's stated that 'it will not be nice for the ears'. But i stress that not every part of it is what i think as well. I've nv thought that anyone is incompetence in anything becos i'm not good in everything myself. In fact, there's very little i could do as compared to the rest. And i think that they have helped me more that i helped them.

Maybe i was wrong in using 'flare up'. I think it's just expressing myself. I have problem telling ppl how i feel. whether good or bad. I didn't mean i WANT to shout at them or whatever, but even i'm simply unhappy, i didn't have the courage to just say it out. and this is my own problem and it hasn't got to do with anybody or anything. It's just me. My character from long time ago.

After all, the project went really well and i think everyone is happy about it. (At least i'm happy abt it) Something about the workshop then. There were actually a no. of challenges that we faced during the whole process there. Not enough this, not enough that. DVD cannot be played on the laptop. But the teacher was extremely helpful in trying to get us all the stuff we need. And way before the class started. We were all ready. (ok. except for our presentator busy going thru the slides) I think we were all very worried that it wouldn't work out well. For me, even when the class stroll in, I wasn't having much confidence. However, when the workshop started, everything started to get in place and the students were getting into the situation. I think the artist really helps in this aspect. That's what we call, professionals. If it's like last year. We'd most probably freaked out.

Anyway... There were challenges during the workshop itself. Of cos things dun always turn out to what was planned. Some of them do not really know what to draw and how to draw it. And some just didn't listen carefully to the instructions, so kind of played their own 'game rules'. But that doesn't really matter cos i feel that they were having fun. So although we prepared some challenges for the students... due to time constrain.. we weren't able to let them do it all. But the outcome was still good. They completed the activity with what we expect them to produce. And the presentation of the linking up of the whole story created lots of laughter. I can't help laughing also even thou i'm taking videos of it. :) I think it's a pleasure to do something like this.

Anyway. I think we should sit down and review on the project, and prepare our presentation and report. I'm kinda halfway thru the collating of the feedback and will soon be ready.



我不是一个没有感情的人。不知不觉眼泪就开始坠落了。原因是什么，我也不清楚。霎那间，脑子里想的是什么也不知道了。其实我很害怕看到回应，因为结果是未知数。就在眼泪悄悄落下的那一刻，我知道这些人对我有多重要。问题是，友谊会不会就这样结束了。就在大家离开学校的那天起，会不会就不联络了? 我害怕会是那种结果。

other than the relevant ppl... pls do not comment on this anymore

Choosing!!!

NSRCC
Each bungalow is double-storey and fully air-conditioned. All bungalows are equipped with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a pantry, spacious living and dining areas, karaoke VCD player, StarHub Cable TV and a barbeque pit.


CostaSands Pasir Ris (not the downtown east one) And it's the one qin booking i think.
DUPLEX CHALET
Double-storey
Hall, ground floor with ceiling fan
1 bedroom, upper floor, air-conditioned
Towels
2 single beds (upper floor)
2 mattresses (ground floor)
Television Set (ground floor)
Electric jug
Refrigerator
Attached bathroom

Ok... I'm thinking of which one to book cos my sis has to give 2 options... Actually she will put both... but the thing is priority to which one.. and she needs to submit the application by 11apr.

Actually i think NSRCC is better.. but it is seriously less accessible... the thing is cos NSRCC is like fully air-conditioned.. so i'm not afraid of having more ppl.. whereas CostaSands is only fan-ed for the ground floor which i will be using mostly for the celebration...

THEN. i think that StarHub Cable TV is really a very attractive component for nsrcc. Haha!!! I think some will agree. =P And then for both right.. i think they have their official caterer.. so die also must cater from them.

So ya... any views that which one should be the priority? Pls keep in mind that it will be an afternoon event. yupx.


(actually i think i already made the choice, just need some confirmation. haha)

RANTINGS AHEAD

WARNING!: the situation below is not nice for the ears. just go to another page to feel happy. OK!

I couldn't use words to describe how pissed i was today. I gave up my visiting trip to ny becos our meeting has shifted timing again and again... And in the end i thought it was pointless to go down anymore. What happened in the end? I went to bugis to develop some photos due to unforseen circumstances and reached school already 15min late (knowing my classmates)... NOT THAT WELL if u read on... Great.. no one is there yet. I msged 2 of them. 1 said reaching soon. Fine. and i waited for 40min be4 that person appeared. The other then just replied and said reaching in 15min. And asked if want to go for lunch tgt. HELLO!? I thought meeting was supposed to start 1h ago!!! What is that person talking about? Then I was told that it was a last min decision that the meeting wouldn't start early anymore. Can someone tell me wth is this? So fine. this person went for lunch with the SO... and the 2 of us who were there already waited in a room. for another freaking 40min. I WASTED ONE AND HALF HOUR DOING NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL.

The artist actually reached school on time.... and i would feel very embarrass becos we have to make him wait for our members to reach in order to start. And that member of ours was still having lunch.

Where has all the considerations gone? Not that i think they have them in the first place. The strange thing is i didn't flare up. Maybe becos it isn't the first time. The other day 3 other grp mates agreed to come for morning class and have out meeting after that. And i think one guess and you can get it correct. NONE of them turned up in class. OH well. they came after class ended tgt with the other grp mate who usually attends the aftn class. Well... in the end we still didn't have the meeting cos the big savior grp mate has done something very helpful to a stranger. I mean i dun really blame that person for not coming. But earlier when i saw that none of them were in class. i proposed that we meet the next day. And that person didn't want to. Then after we know that that person was held up by something... we proposed the idea again. and still didn't want to! I dunno what's wrong lah.

I seriously feel that i have problem handling my anger. I think they are kept within me for too long a time. I kept thinking of the words to say but they nv came out of my mouth. I kept thinking of my feelings towards what happened but i nv let them be known to others. Perhaps it's becos i still regard them as friend and i really dun wish to make any situation very tense. Actually i think that i didn't have the courage to flare up. I just sounded VERY bo-chap and unenthu the rest of the meeting. I so wanted to leave school after that long wait. It was really pointless.. At the end of the day. 2 of us didn't turn up. One due to work and the other i dunno what sudden illness.

This whole thing is so ridiculous and i really hope that this project will end faster! Feeling so tired of working with the same ppl already. They are good, they do their work, sometimes i feel that i'm the one not doing enough. But where's the attitude? like reaching soon = at least another 30min? When i say reaching soon. i meant 5 to 10min!! Ironically, i was chatting with that person over a few things while waiting for the whole session to start. And i didn't complain AT ALL about this whole thing.

And guess what? The meeting didn't really go as planned! We didn't have a dry run after all. This is so terrible... after so many meetings.. it seems like we haven't even get the whole thing right. Becos the more we say... the more we have to re-think and re-discuss. Which is what i dun think is right. Actually i didn't even want to contribute anything serious today. I just wanted to listen.. and whatever they say.. that's it. HOWEVER, since there were only 3 ppl. plus the artist 4... i didn't have the chance to act dumb.

Forget it lah huh. afterall... i might not see them again after these 2 weeks. But if u think again. if they treasure the time we were tgt.. then they wun make me wait SO LONG and not feel VERY sorry for it.

One week after nusco concert. haha

It's been a week since the concert... I really wun say it's a VERY good one... but ya... after all it's still the effort of everyone present. I was all tired by the end of the day...

Reached there ard 12.30pm.. changed and whatever... then rehearsal... dry run plus the whole concert runthrough.... ended ard 5pm... had dinner with er-jie... she's probably quite bored. haha. at least she went cos she was sitting alone. but i can also see that she quite entertained by the 3 ppl sitting in front of her... kept talking to them.... from my view lah.

For me... first half was quite boring.. cos we only performed the first song... then it was the guests' performance.... so we sit in the concert comm room and slack and talk... the enjoyable thing abt going to nusco is really that u can talk to anyone there... basically they are very friendly... :)

Yupx... I shan't comment too much abt the concert... cos whether good or bad it wasn't up to the performers to decide... as long as we have done our best.. ok.. maybe it wasn't my best... but i'm sure i was very ren zhen during the concert time.. and anyway it's over.. isn't it? =P The concert ended 10pm and rush rush to take grp photo and off i went rush off... change and then followed sis and her friend for some drinks.. ended up in dempsey hill's ben and jerry's... it was good! yeah...

Ya.. that's all.. thanks andrew for the stalk of rose... quite surprised... now the flower is dying already. haha! =x (oh.. i just went to the kitchen and saw that it has landed inside the rubbish bin. haha!)

Sunday was quite a good day too... although there's project meeting in the morning... went all the way to bishan since most of them are nearer to that area.. ok... this isn't the main point for the day of cos...

The main thing is... i went to S-pop Hurray! Concert that night with my 2 sis!! :))) It was good lah... and of cos like everyone said... we can see that we do not know why we need someone on stage that can't sing live... but whatever lah.. at least get to see JJ... haha! But we left earlier cos er-jie says she tired and hungry! so didn't manage to catch the last hour... and didn't catch JJ's closing performance also. We went simpang bedok to prata then home lor...

Let's skip all the boring work and study days... and so ytd we went to visit SSO. It was i can say a very good session... cos the speaker shared a lot of her experiences with us... There isn't any theory set in the whole session... taught us some valuable lessons. how to deal with musicians (or artists in general)... and dealing with every other situation. I think i've learnt something from the session.

Ok... and so i went to work after that... probably the last day of my work... haix! Since the full-time is already going to be transferred and should be leaving the company soon... I dun see the point in staying... afterall i need to get something closer to my studies.... i worked becos of all the ppl i know... but since it's like that.. then maybe it's time to let go also.

TODAY! going down to nusco later... for post concert-reception. :) Ok... Bye!

The busy days Part 1

Finally back to update... still very tired... but i thought i ought to update a bit.. be4 the contents get too much! Omg... i actually have to backtrack till thurs!!!

So ya.. last thurs... field-trip to POST-Museum for gallery mgmt class... walked under the hot sun with my 'lao gong' for some time before realising that it is nearer for me to take bus 67 there than taking train to farrer park then walk over. dotx. waste time and money leh!

Ok... actually it's not exactly a museum... according to what the person described.. it's more like a space than a gallery or museum. So anyway we were brought to walk ard that area... including the back alley which is supposed to be very active only at night. (if u get what i mean). The walk took abt 20-30min... super hot weather. Then got back to POST and have some discussion grp thing.. which we all know what it is for... but well... it shows that we have brains and creativity. (to put it in a nicer way of cos) haha! I mean... we all know that lah... so nothing much.

Went to nusco prac after that... good thing still have time for dinner... Subway-ed. luckily saw yongxin there after i started queuing for a while... well... i need her student card and she can get her food faster.. so why not right? Well... prac wasn't VERY bad. haha. but since i can't go the next day... i went on thurs night lor. Prac ended ard 10pm.. stayed ard for a while to take tix and talk... wanted to cab back... then actually got someone going back bedok also.. so i thought we could train tgt... in the end she wanted to bus back... and so... i took a train! and i was freaking tired. haix. But ok.. save money cos the cabbing parts will come in later. =x

Fri.. dim-sum-ed with family at East Ocean! :)) They cabbed there first since we can't squeeze into 1 cab... i wanted to take a train... but in the end decided to hunt for easter egg for a while more and so i cabbed there also. =P Reach there liao... like OMG! A LOT of ppl standing at the entrance to the rest. I had to like 'excuse me' so many times to finally get into the rest to look for their table. dotx. BUT food is still as nice as ever. i mean that explains the long queue right.. Heng we booked in advance given our experiences. haha!

Then went to jiewan's bday party at aloha loyang after shopping ard for a while. wanted to get new shoes but all no size. sad sia... But in the end they still managed to get another membership card! Like dotx. which family needs 3 same membership card of a shop?! But giving to someone else lah... :) Ok.. back to the bday party... when i reached.. jiale, ruth and shirley were there already... so we waited for the rest of her guests to come. food is not bad... cake is nice... the deco very nice too! :)

That was like the first 21st bday party i attended this year... lol. So after like almost 3months... none of my 21-yr-old friend had any party lor! haha. hope there are more to come.. cos i think i enjoyed them! :))) Anyway... left ard 10pm with jenny... walked out trying to look for a cab.. it was only till more than halfway out then gotten a cab... better than nothing lah.. so i cabbed home. lol =x

OK!! i think i really need to sleep... continue again. =P

HAHA

Oh... It's really a VERY BUSY weekend... it feels like going out of town for 3 days 2 nights... just that the nights are spent on my own bed... haha!

Will update abt the weekend soon. Am really tired now. LOL! =x

Relaxing... still?

I think this is probably the last week being able to still idle ard for a while everyday... playing (fluff)friends.. joining in the easter egg hunt... haha! (it's quite fun anyway)

I'm so going to foresee that i'm going to have a sleepless week somewhere. haha! But ok lah... i have to start on some now.. since some are due earlier. Yup. Hope i can finish the essays by next week.. so that can do all my projects... Ah... it's really going to be easier said than done. lol. =x And unfortunately... it's really a lot to be done... like must they do that to us this semester?

Anyway... syco prac ytd was with maestro... not bad actually... he started with an intro of the piece - Gada Meilin... Actually i think sometimes they like to teach students because they can talk and share more... cos usually the adults wun entertain the conductor doing that... haha. =x The session was fruitful thou. gives us a better idea... and yao laoshi so cute... he suddenly disappeared after listening to us for a while.. and actually returned with a gaohu to play with us. but the sad thing is that he said he can't read the jian pu.. haha. But ya.. i believed he could have done better if it was in manuscript... even best he tried to talk to rudy... in chinese. they practically couldn't understand each other. so in the end have to turn ard and ask us. but it was quite fun lah. :)

Nusco concert this weekend... quite fast... but i think it's better to get it over and be done with also lah... this year's songs not all nice... in fact it doesn't seem like the focus is on nusco... there are 3 other collaborations... Prof Koh of NUS, a Uni from Malaysia and Zheng Professionals. so ya... it's quite slack.. haha. but this year quite sian... cos sis not performing.. think joyce not performing also... then the rest of the usual ppl.. mostly in concert com. dotx. But perhaps the last time i'm going to perform with them... unless sis is going again next year. (which i doubt so)

Ya.. think that's all at the moment. Will be back soon!

Oh-oh! Today is my father's birthday!! :)) HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!! Hope you will stay healthy and happy! :))) not like he will see this lah... but i will still hope that he stays healthy and such, after all he's not as young as i think he is anymore.

How long does this have to go on?

Why huh? Why do i always have to wait until late at night then i'll get to use the computer? What happened to all my rights? Why do i have to give up my seat when someone comes by and says she wants to watch shows online. I said 'no'.. and she insisted i let her cos she's bored! Can't she just do something else... In fact i was already very pissed that the 3 of them took turns to use the whole morning till 3+ when the last person finally left the house. And i've already watched tv for the whole afternoon!!! Well... thanks to someone who gave her the idea.. I'm so pissed the whole night i didn't want to talk to her... and i really didn't. afterall... a hungry woman is an angry one too... and coincidentally i didn't have any proper meal today. had some cookies and some chocolate and some rostie finally..

ARGH. WHATEVER. I just regretted not being firm enough. but i think i was so angry and i had so many thoughts that i wasn't able to say anything that makes complete sense.

Anyway.. by the time i start on my assignments.... i dun they even get a chance near the com. and that's good... I'm not being selfish... BUT... i dun like my lifestyle manipulated by what others need to do. period. and i hope they will realise and truly understand. there's a possibility that i will put a password to it... which i've nv wanted to in the past.

3 Movies at a go

Haven't updated for a few days... been pia-ing my finance individual assignment lah. haha.

To think i complained about not watching movie for quite some time... i watched 3 movies within 1 week. haha! One last thurs, one last fri and one today!

Watch The Screen at Kamcharod... unfortunately... it's a thai horror movie. and i was practically forced to watch it by my dear friend. dotx. But ok lah.. afterall it isn't really that scary... and there's quite a nice plot to it. so ya.. that was like the 2nd time i actually watch a horror movie in the cinema. haha! i mean.. usually i dun spend money to scare myself yea... haha! But i think that was the only time i went for movie with her during her holidays back here. zhong se qing you is like that de lah. haha!

Anyway.. watched 10,000BC on fri with cw and wx... it was after class and we do not know what to do... i wanted to come home but in the end still went with them... the show isn't bad.. there were some rather magnificant scenes... i like. haha! But as for the same producer... i still think that The Day After Tomorrow is nicer. :) Anyway... some parts were quite lame... there were very interesting parts. see it for urself.... able to see how they built the pyramid.... thou not sure if real or not... haha!

Then today (wed)... watched The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep. Overall it's quite all right.. thou not too many exciting parts... It seems a bit like the Doraemon story of Norbita and the Dinosaur.... just that the water horse could not be shrunk after growing real big. hee. But glad that it's a good ending for the water horse... nothing seems to be able to injure him ya... except for the little cut he got when he was still very little. It is truly how amazing the boy - Angus, could actually go so deep into the sea/water with the water horse... and even open his eyes while in water to watch the fishes and sceneries... the thing is he didn't even know how to swim. so it must be a miracle that he survived. hee.

Anyway... i'm like super tired not... so i think will continue more postings tmr yea.. nitex.

Just ignore this entry

Ask me abt my mood now.. I'd tell u that i can cry at any movie that is shown to me.

It seems very much like my fault anyway.

MY stupidity to let the 'whole world' know that she's not coming back tonight.

MY negligence to my mother still trying to call thru her phone.

But HELLO! why am i the communication medium? LEAVE ME ALONE all right!

If YOU have the decency of caring for YOUR family. PLS MAKE YOURSELF VISIBLE AT HOME. Or if not. Make YOUR disappearance accounted for. not to me but to whom U should inform. THANK YOU!

I'll all right tmr.

Pissed Alright?!

Feeling damn pissed. Can't i have any space of my own at all?!

I wished i can get out of here.

I think i have some problems in my anger management. while others are too eager to show their anger.. i.e. being very impulsive, act and talk their mind too fast when in anger. i am the opposite and by the time i feel like expressing my anger. i think it's too late. so in the end i just try to hold the anger in me. and let myself to continue to be angry of myself. damn stupid lah. RAH!

Practising and Reading

Haven't been keen on writing too much. Feeling kinda unmotivated these days. think i'm in a kind of holiday mood. and doing things that i usually doesn't spend much time doing. like reading and practising my instru. Now i've really got the urge to go back and learn my erhu again. Well... i know i've said this umpteen times and nv did it... that's becos i know that he's busy and perhaps not have the time to teach.. And i think i dun wish to hear a disappointing ans.. thus didn't ask. But nowadays i'm more determined in getting myself to practise the songs that i need to and some that's not. violin as well. thou the song i want to master is like SOOOOOOOO difficult. -.-

Feeling a bit silly to be reading a book on the bus and quietly dropping tears. haha. fortunately it didn't continue. after all it's only harry potter. Rmb the last time i wanted to finish a storybook that night (just couldn't stop reading)... and i was crying so hard in the middle of the night. dotx. i sounded as if my mother had just gave me a down hard scolding... sometimes it's just amazing how words on its own can touch ppl that much. well.. i can't do that myself.. given my poor command of language. haha! But it's really terrible to be reading and wiping away.. cos the words get blurred so much... but.. i'm quite determined to read more. some times i just enjoy reading more than the others. dunno why.

Ok. that's all. finally the weekend is approaching... and an assignment to be handed in is also approaching.. =x

Broadway Beng! 3

Hi... Just found out abt this a while ago... a bit slow thou... That Broadway Beng is back again. on his third in the series now... and it's staging at Drama Centre from 30 April to 4 May (as stated on sistic website), thou passioncard website says it's until 18may. Anyway, any interested parties? I think i will be going anyway. I mean.. i VERY MUCH want to go! :)))

Passing music...

Happened to find my violin exam pieces online.. i was listening to it and thinking of the times... practising hard every week... getting nervous every now and then... the hard times i've gone thru.. actually there were a lot of difficulties faced when i was preparing to go for the grade 8 practical... in fact i was VERY lucky to actually pass the exam. cos i made uncountable mistakes during the exam itself...

That period was very near to promos... and i have to take all the risk to take exam for that year. Well... i was the one who requested that i take the exam that very year... it really was quite scary lah... plus i was preparing to take erhu grading later in the year as well... i dunno how did i juggle... quite amazing... well.. maybe that explains why i didn't really do well in my studies. =x

Maybe i should put aside more time for practising my instrus yet again... for personal improvements. Think my parents will be happy to hear that.. but i think i will forgo private lessons for the time being. there are just too many things to be taken care of lah.. Ok.. That's all! need to sleep now.

Leap Year is here.

I realised... yet again.. i haven't been updating my blog. haha!

Maybe i should just talk abt wed since the other days were quite routine. Anyway... went for finance class as usual... surprised to see only 4 ppl in class thou i was late for abt 30mins! cos i was stubborn enough to wait for bus 67 to come.. that's why. =P Then a few more came a bit later lor... and that's all for the morning!

Went back to ny with von... wanted to eat the fishball noodle.. OK! Actually we wanted to look for mr bong, and shun bian eat in school... BUT! the fishball noodle no more already! become what malay food... dotx. and so.. the canteen has changed quite a bit since we left... but at least our fav fruits store is still there... prices remains but quantity becomes lesser. haix. no choice also ba..

Anyway... had quite a long talk with him over lunch.. thou we were the only ones eating... had to settle with chicken rice.. and it's now more ex as well... what's with the school?? Ok.. anyway... he claims that he had read my blog be4... i dunno how many things he had read so far... haha! It's a bit of wonder where he got the time to go google search for blogs also lah. haha! I tried to turn it around saying i dun have one... but he could say out the characteristics of my blog. SO i reckon he really visited be4.. tsk tsk.. so i guess from now on i better mind my words... Haha! Then chatted with the bookshop auntie also... so nice of her to still rmb us lah... afterall... we patronise her shop pretty often yea... haha.

After that went to bishan to shop shop... haven't been there for the longest time... i think ever since we grad... i haven't been there... or at least not that i rmb of. Our fav food happened to be still there.. and we were reminiscencing (if there's such a word) abt the place and what we always do there... we ended up in Swensons for some ice-cream. haha! I think we really did a lot of rubbish stuff last time... but i think we are quite disciplined also as to studying tgt after school in Mos, coffee bean, school lib, amk lib, or any other place u can think of. haha.

Went back school to look for the sy ppl to go SCH. Yup.. had sectionals at night. i think it was not bad lah.. but felt that time passed rather fast for that particular session. Hopefully next week's combine will be ok! :)

And so.. wed is deemed the best weekday of this week. becos the weekend has yet to come. hee.

ANYWAY. On this special occasion of 29 Feb every 4 years.. I would like to wish my dearest senior and friend HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I know i wished u le lah... but nan de mah... then 4 years then got once.. so i should say 4 times altogether... haha! still got 2 more to go i think? or that day our celebration counted as one? hee.

Botak and HideOut Cafe

I'm VERY TIRED. i dunno why. in fact i just woke up from my nap abt 20min ago. =x Watching tv didn't keep me awake.. haha.

Anyway... ytd was almost a whole day out... after finish watching 赌场风云 in the morning... met the beloveds at Botak Jones... was as usual very full... and didn't finish. was very curious how did i finish the botak burger set the last time. hmmm....

So ya... walked to blk 84's HideOut Cafe.. u might not believe it.. but we stayed there from 3pm right up to 10pm... Played a no. of different games... and some... VERY tiring. like will sweat that kind.. but i think it was fun! Started out with a i-dunno-what-name game... similar to a game i used to play with my cousins with poker... just that it's a cuter version with animals. I think next was Saboteur... really fun game... Guesstures （比手画脚） was fun too... just that the version that they have is the Bible version... and there are a lot of holy terms which we dun possibly know... but still quite interesting game. Jurassic Jumble is like chaotic... haha! we didn't know how noisy we were until the other grp which is half the size of our grp was playing the game. hee. Played pictionary for a while and i have to admit that my drawing really sucks! haha! The last game for the day be4 we cut the bday cake was the werewolf (murderer similar) game.... it is very fun actually... the only troublesome part is that u need a narrator. played a lot more but can't really rmb the names. haha!

Stayed ard and chat and chill after the cake-cutting.. i think we are all tired already... so took some photos with some of them be4 we really leave the place... It's really very nice of the staff to let us stay there for so long. I'd probably go back there again! :) And i realised that sometimes a big grp can do a lot of things tgt too! :)

The best thing was... some of us still went for supper at 85 market after that... sit there and chatted until 11.45pm then we decided to call it a day. heex.

Lastly!!! I hope yushi will like the 'poster' we made for her... will upload the photos soon!! The present dun need to say.. sure good de hor? haha! And then... hope ling will recover soon too! And we will meet soon yea~ :)))

CO and 幸福言

Today (sat) was quite fun... went back to nyco again! :)))

Casper called me in the morning while i was on the bus and ask me if i'm awake already. DOTX. scolded him. haha. reached ny abt 11am. hee. originally i said i wanted to reach at 10.. but apparently i left my house at erm.. 10.15? =P At least i nv put aeroplane today ok. :) Played tian shan with them again.... trying to prac for my nusco prac after that lah. haha. didn't manage to hear them play the new song... perhaps next time lah. hee. Had lunch with casper and zhiwen be4 going to nus.

Reached nus quite early too.. be4 3pm at least. haha! And i went in be4 they started their practice! Err.. first time in the last few weeks. =x Anyway... i realised i have to prac more. haha! And i realised... actually they do not really need me there anyway... cos guest players are supposed to be very zai.... very this one here is quite lousy.. haix. so ya... i should prove my worth there... yeah.

Had dinner with a very small grp of ppl... had some laughter and weird discussions... somehow i just feel that there's nothing they can't share btwn the grp. and it was fun in a way... and that is what i enjoy being with the nusco ppl. :)


很多人说："幸福要自己争取"。问题是当我还没有得到幸福的时候，我怎么知道那就是我的幸福？如果我知道纠缠是没有结果的，请问我还要自己争取吗? 如果争取到了才知道那不是幸福，请问争取的过程中所付出的是值得的吗？

《恶作剧之吻》是我一直爱看的偶像剧。我真的很钦佩湘琴的毅力。他为了自己心爱的人可以付出那么多，那么多。虽然她很笨，但这种精神却让人感动! 我自问是没有她这么有恒心。她竟然能暗恋 （或者说是明恋) 一个人那么多年 （7年），而且是在对方又对她很冷淡的情况下还是那么坚持，真的很不容易。although i'm not as brave as her... i've tried very hard for my last crush for a rather long time too... afterall it didn't work out.. and maybe it's better becos i dunno if that is my 幸福。but no doubt i've stopped the 自己争取 spirit in me... not willing to find myself dropping into a 深渊again.

记得在《第8号当铺》里，当铺老板韩诺用他一生的爱情转换成妻子一生的幸福，以为他离开以后妻子仍然可以找到幸福。结果妻子至死也没有再接受任何人。 他不明白，于是在妻子临终前问了她为什么要拒绝那些追她的人，为什么不接受幸福? 妻子说道："因为你就是我的幸福，等你一生就是我最大的幸福"。what an irony right...

To speak the truth... 就算我现在有喜欢的人，我是不会向他示好的。就算我需要一个人在身边，我也不会说的。因为我怕失去。

A bad day. the funeral.

Been very busy over the last few days.... presentation... essay and presentation..

Today isn't a good day... first.. i slept at 5.30am after finishing my essay... thinking that i should sleep for 2h and then wake up to do final checks and prepare for presentation. BUT. when i finally wake up after a sms from cw... it was 10.08am ALREADY! And guess what. my class starts at 10am! Like OMG. i was quite lost... so quickly grab my clothing to change, brush my teeth, grab my bag and out of the house i went... didn't even change into my contacts. dotx.

Anyway... that was not all... presentation actually was all right... just wasn't very happy with the fact that my lecturer was talking on the phone when i was presenting my precious 2 slides. dotx. i hope it is not going to be too bad... cos today i am rather confident. ok... nvm..

Actually the worst part of the day comes next. becos everyone carries a very heavy heart to a common place. some or most of my classmates were there with me, to send a friend off for the last time. It is hard not to feel sad even though we might not be the best friends in school. Like one of my classmates said.. he might not be the saint-est person in the world, and could be rather insane at times... he had brought laughter to us... and shared with us or at least, me, a lot of his past experience. Becos he re-joined school last sem is new to the class, i know he haven't been able to blend in too much. but i did remember the times we spent esp. during halloween last year. in fact i haven't been able to get those photos from him. This is coming so sudden to the whole class... we were struck by the fact and couldn't believe that it has happened becos some of them saw him the day be4. But well... i think we all got to accept this... that someone has left us forever. rest in peace my friend.

CNY visiting still.

Was reading thru this blog that has never been shown to anyone else except for a few ppl whom i think have long forgotten the existence of that blog... anyway the blog can't be found anywhere on search engines and whatever, and i haven't been updating since somewhere 2006 and i've changed the settings to 'only author can read'... and i'm the only author of the blog, so i'm the only person whom can read the entries.

Anyway.. the entries more or less covered my jc life... revolving this person that i think more or less influenced my decision of going to ny. it's quite a funny part of my life... cos nothing happened to us... or rather... we were staying in that school having a very awkward feeling towards each other. yet we had the most interaction time becos we were in the same cca. but i nv regretted going to ny lah.. cos there are still great friends to talk abt....

Just like ytd. met up with the clique for new year visiting... went to han's house for lunch.. gambled a bit... lost some money to han's mother... haix. (auntie 'cheated' our money) i think no one else won in her house. dotx! Then cabbed down to my house... Some continued to lose money and 1 person won the rest. ok.. yuhui and i recouped abit.. thou not enough to cover. Then to Von's house (for the first time.. so much abt best buddies yea). haha. recouped even more. still lost a bit.. i think a dollar or so... Quite long nv meet up with ALL of them liao lah... so made A LOT of noise. my sis says they really very noisy.. hahaha!

Yupx. Ppl can start volunteering their house for cny next year... i'll try to work out a nice timetable. lol! ok. just joking. but i'll be glad to visit all ur houses too.. provided u welcome me lah. heex!

Ex-SACCO

*AHEM* ATTENTION TO ALL EX-SACCO MEMBERS: SAC open hse on 1pm to 5pm on Sat, 1st March 08! I think each ticket is $5 (for charity purpose). Huishan (our sacco senior) is hoping that we could come together for a gathering in conjunction with the event.

If anyone of u see this.. just send me a msg to let me know if u can go and want to go.. ok? :)

She suggested a dinner after the thing in SAC. Anyway i think some of u might have heard about the school going to be renovated (or rebuild)... i not very sure which it is... so we could go back and take some pictures ard the school to keep as memories. Wonderful right?! :)))

Think i'll just forgo prac for a week.. HEE! =x

Mood after cny

Thou keep saying cny is very tiring... still when have to go back to school for class... the mood will really drop... sianx. haha! moreover.. only need to go for 2hrs... and that's it. Ok lah.. got meet be4 class for grp meeting.

Then come to think of it... assignments are piling up... one more week only!!! Dunno if i should be working next tues... and have syco on mon and wed nights as well... how ah?! very scared i cannot finish my stuff... and i dun want to pull my grp mates down lah... i want to be a worthy grp mate.. haha!

Work was so far so good... it's quite fun with more young ppl ard... not saying that uncle was not good... but i think the environment now is like better... brighter shop and everything... but i see something not so good coming... i.e. out of stock for redemption... dotx. but hopefully we wun end up like the shop opp.. having ppl standing outside and complaining VERY loudly! dotx.

Ok.. off i go.. bye.

CNY - 4 Days

Phew... finally have time to sit down and type something... It was really hectic to have CNY 4 days in a row... but come to think of it... when we dun get a long weekend... we will grumble... when we finally get a long weekend... we will also grumble. haha! It was really tiring lah!


Slept at 2am on the cny eve night.. and wake up 8am... started out our journey for the day... to san-jiu's house first, then to dua-gim's house... then back to my house.. then to sa-zim-bo's house, then to kor-po's house... and back to bedok.... doesn't sound a lot... but tiring... i think the most 'exciting' part was when we were leaving dua-gim's house for my house? All of us squeezed into san-yi's pick-up... like a total of 16 ppl?! Incredible lah... just that the vehicle really moved very slowly along the road... and the vehicle seems to be leaning back cos the back got more ppl. lol. But i always liked spending time with this grp of family... though there are always some ppl who should not be mentioned =x... there are very lovely ppl in the family also... and i really must say that i felt closer to this grp of ppl! :))) But i forgot to take pictures! hahaha. i'm really forgetful lately. =x


Then back to 138 for dinner... once again it's taking bus back alone from tiong bahru while the other 4 took cab back.... but i think this year isn't that bad cos there's new route... then at night at our house again... waited till abt 12am waiting for 2 families to come... but didn't come in the end... so waited until very tired.. and in the end still slept very late... dotx.

2nd day.. went 138 again for usual lunch with the BIG family. like really BIG. they counted. there were a abt 72 ppl in that 3 and half room flat... super jialat... cos really not enough space to let everyone sit down... so we had to stand around to just eat and watch tv. Used up abt half a day there... finally moved out of the house ard 2pm. Made 5 visits for the rest of the day... my father's cousin's house... then my father's uncle's house, then to my 6th uncle's house, then to 4th uncle's house... and lastly to my father's 3rd aunt's house... the very very big 3-storey house at east coast area... by the time we got home it was 11pm. i even watched the last epi of 东方之珠 at their house. haha.

3rd day i think was the most tiring day? Got of house at 8.30am... went to laoshi's house.. dropped at the wrong bus stop.. walked quite a distance be4 reaching... dotx. luckily we went early where the rest of the ppl not there yet... and so we have place to sit down.. talk to laoshi and his wife... and interact a bit with the children. first time seeing the 4 of them sitting tgt... lol.

Then moved on to circuit rd to my father's first aunt's house... her house very big also... and they so interesting... they have this family tree thing in the house... with all the pictures of the ppl in the family.. a good thing was... all her children were married with children... for this i think it's already a blessing for the family. :) And they are still expanding the family... and of cos.. updating the photos. i think the lim family should have one too! haha. Anyway these father's aunts are from his mother side... so they are the Pek (白) family. Cool right.

Then to kembangan to my mum's cousin's house... not really for visiting but the full month celebration for his son. then bian nian also lah... after lunch er-jie and i proceeded to boonlay (!!!) to jiahui's house for new year gathering with the nusco ppl... played a bit xbox... fav game. haha! i think play how many times also wun feel bored... just that hand will pain. haha! Then to Suyi's house for dinner... Steamboat lor! Be4 that... still got some time cos waiting for more ppl to come.. so played a bit mahjong... and watched them play Wii. really cool... After the dinner... sis got to rush off to airport to send her friend off to australia for study... so dropped me at aunt's house (my only aunt from father side) at kembangan (yes. again) haha. Stayed there till ard 11pm be4 we were sent back as well... dotx. really super tired by then... BUT!!! There's still the 4th day leh!

4th day... 10.30 like that leave home... to grandaunt's house... then to 8th uncle's house.. both at Pasir Ris... i think i haven't been to their houses for the past 2 years or something.. at least not last year... they started talking abt the past where my uncles all helped my grandmother to make all the new year goodies... sounds fun... and i believe those that they make will really be nice... After that went to 3rd uncle's house for lunch... they prepared the best food for cny... haha! Salmon, mashed potato, beef stew, fruit salad, and butter rice (although i dun like the raisins).

Finally it's really the long distance travel to 7th uncle house in Sembawang... they are really the only ppl who doesn't live in the east! but i like their house... so clean and empty.. i like their empty rooms! it's really a pity that they do not have children themselves. cos they are really a very nice couple... if they can give me one of their rooms... i will be more than happy lah! I think er-jie too.. haha!

Last stop... back to bendemeer to san-yi's house... treating us to restaurant... i think we were the last to reach... but be4 we left for dinner... played mahjong for a while... at first already playing on a lost from jiaqi's seat... but in the end only won the last round and at least won back my base. hee. Dinner at this famous fish head pot place at Rangoon Rd. Not bad lah... but was REALLY FULL... full until i also dunno how to say... bloated also lor... returned home and still feeling full till late at night.

Yups. so that's the very eventful weekend for cny. haha! Will update again soon.

CNY eve.

Finally it's new year's eve.. worked for the past 2 days.. all right lah.. not too bad.. saw the manager ytd... the marketing manager i.e. sales not very good lor.. expected lah.. somemore now no more repair on the spot... repair income also not very sounding lor...

But anyways.. the good news is i dun need to work on the 3rd day of cny already! cos my mother complained.. haha. so yea... good for me... Hee. Eh... very tired liao... update again later..

[edit] 11.50pm: Wow... finally finished cleaning the floor... i think i only clean the floor once a year... haha! Anyway... had reunion dinner with the family just now.... as usual steamboat... Had a hearty dinner. :) Watched some lame movie at my uncle's house before coming back... so by the time it was already like 10.10... slack for a while and started cleaning... i took the 3 rooms and the living room while er-jie cleaned the kitchen...

CNY will start very soon... like another 5 mins or so... YEAH! Ok.. i dunno what am i so excited about... but i like visiting with my family... or rather.. the big family... cos it's the time everyone come tgt... ok... i need to bathe...

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Eat more goodies and get more Ang Pows!!! :)))

A few days to CNY.

Actually... i'm very tired... came online cos need to send something to via... so might as well do something before i really go sleep.. (already took a nap just now).


These few days i would be busier with work than school. =x Worked last fri, working tmr and tues... just happened that this week... it's the alternate monday that doesn't have lesson... and tues... no night class... so the only lesson this week... is Finance! and it's a combine class anyway... So hopefully i can do more shopping tmr (mon) or tues after work... actually i got all my clothes ready... what i lack are shoes... if i can't get any... then i guess i'll have to make do with the old ones lor. Or i hope that i can fit into the ones i'm receiving from my company. and hope i will receive them soon! (like on mon). hehe..


Ppl always say time flies... and it becomes a bit cliche... but then again... isn't it just so true? look... i thought we just stepped into 2008.. but one month is gone already! And feb finishes pretty fast... so in less than a month... or rather.. abt 3 weeks.. i have 2 ppt and 1 written assignment to complete! This is madness lah... esp. the written one cos i haven't have time to visit the museum yet. dotx!!! omg... i MUST find time to do it..

Anyway.. had steamboat with my some of my materal family members... wah... haven't seen one of my cousins for a very long time... had a really fun time eating and chatting with the 2 of them... it's a long time since the cousins all come tgt... i seriously think that we can click better! :) But it's ok... at least we will always spend the 1st day of cny tgt. more laughter to come with them! yeah. looking forward now. haha.


Ok lah.. that's all.. another few days to CNY.. Hope u all have gotten whatever is needed.. MUST ENJOY!!! :)))

School and SYCO

Today (ok.. ytd.. which was wed) started off bad cos i didn't bring my phone out... haha. luckily the ppl whom i have to meet today were all arranged already... it was only until bugis that i realised i forgot to bring! haha. how smart. dotx. but the rest of the day was quite all right lah..

So i managed to meet weixuan at the mrt station and proceeded to buy our long awaited jeans and got to class late. =x But at least we weren't the latest. I dunno why but today i'm just not in the right mood for study... tsk tsk... must be the shopping... anyhows i did whatever that needs to be done in class lah. better than someone sitting beside me lor... read magazine and play with ds. haha.

After class meet up with sylvia and horng and had wanton mee outside OG, with caiwen and weixuan. luckily i can rmb via's no. lor cos i used wx's phone to confirm with her the meeting place. haha! Anyway the noodles doesn't seem as nice as last time... dunno is it becos of the renovation... anyway.. they took so long to prepare the food... and now is self-service.. dotx. maybe not enough money to hire ppl cos of the renovation also. haha. Anyways.. after that we all went separate ways except for me and via cos of syco sectionals...

Went to do some shopping (again)... wanted to buy new shoes but nothing to my liking... in the end bought a dress from littlematchgirl... quite nice. of cos lah... if not buy for what. haha! i think i've got enough clothes to wear for new year liao... since i'll be working on chu-san anyway... haix!!! cannot find anyone else to replace lor. but come to think of it.. i shouldn't agree the first time... then want to push away also cannot liao. Then thing that i do not understand... It is common sense that we will be catching flies on that day... no one in the correct state of his/her mind will come specially to our shop to buy anything or specially bring their bag down for repair on that day. So i dunno why the company insisted on opening the shop if they can save some wages... and actually i think they only need 2 ppl cos there's practically nothing to do then? hmm... maybe i should bring this up. lol. Seriously lor.. u see.. at least in major shopping mall (like suntec), or major departmental stores will have ppl walking past even if they nv come into the shop... BUT at shaw... there will not be a single soul!!! dotx. i will only say... it's a waste of time and resources...

Ok.. anyway sectionals was quite ok... we spent at least the last half hour chatting... i think laoshi too long nv see us liao... so talk for so long and talk abt so many things... it all started off with saying abt going into army... quite relevant the new gaohu guy who couldn't attend prac at the moment was just enlisted this year.. and laoshi asked rudy if he needs to go ns... so it all started.. and then to boyi who will be enlisted next year. i dunno how it dragged so far... but we talked abt things extended from that topic. haha! Quite an enjoyable time... just that... really have to practice lah! i think still got time cos next prac is only in mid-feb. heex. And luckily conductor Nehs Nehs Oay came in and take a look at us at the very last 5min of the sectionals time... he didn't realise that we breaked for so long. haha. oopx.

Mon's combine was quite all right also... thou i was late... pretty late...cos waited very long for the bus.. i actually left class early... but still reached there like ard 8? i left class at 7.15 i think! and then took very long to get my tuning right also... too long nv touch the instru le.. that's why.. =x. But he's quite good... as in his temper... or does he have one? hmm.... i think it's still too early to judge? Well... but i think this year we will be quite all right ba... hopefully the musician-conductor relationship will be quite good! :) Quite look forward to playing other songs. hee.

But i dunno how long i can last this way... i'm coming home late week from mon to wed... it is very tiring... and i hope i can tahan until the sem ends. it is quite bad sometimes... esp. on tues cos it's school at night. and i think my mother will start to complain quite soon like i haven't been coming home for dinner... at least since last week. =x Actually it's quite fast... week 4 already! 2 presentations on week 7! wow.. i think this is going to be a VERY hectic sem cos we have to clear the mods.. so i hope everyone can pull thru and do well... including myself... cos from the results last sem... they aren't very pretty... just passable. my greatest wish this year is to cope my studies well! :)

Ok.. that's all.. nitex!

a very tiring but fun weekend

Realised i haven't blogged for the past few days... was practically back rather late for the past 2 nights... quite late today also... And i'm pretty tired already. and yet.. there's are still things to be completed. haix.

Friday was like the worst day at shaw ever... as in the work load. It was so tiring we were packing everything that's left and it's really A LOT. cos we are closing for renovation over this weekend.. thus have to return EVERYTHING lor. So i really dun understand why some ppl are so not paiseh... still can come in and ask stupid qns... like 'are you all having a sale?' Who on earth closes their door when there's a great sale going on? Best still cos we had nothing on display! So.. i dunno if they really have no brains or they are just trying to be funny. Then cos of all these, everything was so slow cos i have to ans calls, attend to some repairs, pack the stocks, key-in sales, attend to ppl who just want to come in and take a look, blah blah blah... and it means no rest at all except when i was eating my lunch.

There was this woman so dotx. keep saying she cannot park her car at the roadside... then ask me to go down and collect her suitcase for her... then i told her that we cannot do that.. (or rather we dun have time and energy to do that)... she like cannot understand... of cos she has to come with the bag then can tell her whether we can do or not what.. then she keep asking.. if like that when can we return her bag. dotx! still say ok liao also take it down to her. pls lor... if u find a company that has this kind of good service.. pls let me know. (ok. i finished complaining already)

Anyway... uncle and ww even more jialat.. i left ard 6.30pm and they still had to stay behind to wait for the lorry to return again to get more stuff... i heard my dad said that uncle worked until 11+pm at the warehouse. omg. madness. but when i return on tues.. there will be a new look! :)

Then had dinner with some nusco ppl plus my sis.. to kinda celebrate hweeming's bday.. at kitchen mogu mogu... it was quite good... but the portions were rather small... i had pork cutlet rice... just think that the sauce is a bit too sour for me.. haha... i think my sis' bacon cutlet was good... then we proceeded for some dessert at Gelare. :) Then home sweet home....

Then ytd.. went nusco prac... prac the exact same songs as last week. sianx. =x so last half an hour i think.. i was playing erhu with joyce outside the audi... wah.. very long nv play those erhu songs already.. damn lousy lor. lol. but i see no motivation to prac at home also leh... haix. but i believe that if i want.. i still can make it de lor. lol!

Then went to huiyan's house after prac.. good! more than halfway towards home already. watch tv, eat and watch ppl play mahjong. haha! lao yu sheng as well... although the fish isn't sheng (raw) cos they are cooked lah... best.. got bao bei also. and i managed to get 2.. how lucky. haha! in the end it was so late already and they actually haven't cut the cake... so anyway i didn't stay.. so lobanged chuanfeng's car out to the main road to take bus. luckily managed to get on one even at like close to 12am at that very quiet street. if not also sian. hee.

Then today.. went to er-jiu's house... ah-shui-ge came with his wife and son - jiale! Omg.. he's so so cute. and his eyes are big. i mean really big. and eyeleashes very long also! And ok.. that's another nephew! haha. then some cousins who are my grandaunt's grandchildren came as well.. and the boy was super active... and so much a pretty boy with very good complexion. haha! After being only able to see ppl play mahjong ytd... i got to play it myself today... but it was a bad game.. cos i lost quite a bit. and the last few games i didn't pay er-jie. haha. other players include jiaqi and san-jiu... and halfway thru lingling got put into the game by her dear father. who kept standing ard to give instructions and produce noise. lol!

And finally back home.. it's already close to 11pm. and i'm darn tired now. bye!

Tired. Give up?

It's yet another tiring day (wed)... let's start from the tiring tues..

Actually these 2 days i kept thinking if i want to carry on with my work and studies in this manner. last time i dun mind working becos those 2 days are my free day and i really have nothing to do except when it got near the assignment deadlines and exams. However, this time, not only i have to work... i have to go for a class right after work.. and everytime i find myself so lethargic when i got to class... and i actually dread to go to work in the morning as well.. can't rmb was it only this week or the same for the previous weeks.

Then it makes me really think if that's the way i want my study and work life to be. it used to be so relaxing and all that.. but not so for this sem. yes, of cos it's a good thing that i have very short lessons each day. but think again, the travelling everyday is very tiring. and i do not have time for anything else. Moreover, i enjoy the morning times at home. haix. i really dunno. perhaps i should look for an even more flexible job... since my supervisor has already resigned and her last day is end of the month.. i dunno how the scheduling is going to be like... leaving me in so much uncertainties for feb. given the so little commitment i could give to the company.. i dun even know if they still want me there! Haix. we'll see how it goes till the end of the month.

Then today (wed). Finally syco decided to start. with orientation. yes, again. how weird it is to attend the orientation every year even thou u are not new anymore. it blurs the purpose of having an orientation? haha. then the irony is... i can't make it for practice next monday even thou i'm waiting for it to start! haha! cos of the lesson that was changed to monday night lah. dotx. but still.. thinking whether to still go for prac. like either forget abt the lesson (since the slides will be given after that).. or go after the lesson.. hmm... Cos the thing is after the combine on monday... it will be a rather long break till mid-feb. cos it's going to be CNY soon! dun understand why everything is so slow this year. Anyway. how excited to start prac! haha!

Ok.. nonetheless... had fun at SCH today. actually it's a very blissful thing to be able to click with the most happening ppl in the grp. haha! at least we can make some noise and liven the spirits... and the good thing is i dun feel too old there! haha!! And in fact.. I'm NOT old!!! so stop calling whatever u are calling me except for my name.. dotx. (ok... i dun think this will work.. but i thought it's worth trying) Like whatever lah.

Anyway... i knew this would happen ever since that day... and i think maybe i deserve it... or i think maybe i should give up. actually i dun see the point if i kept on deteriorating at something that i should some confidence in.. why should i still hold on to it. Sometimes.... the more i wished to do well in something, the more it didn't go right. Actually i hoped that it had nv happened in the first place.. or i could have done something else to save it.. but it happened, and i didn't do anything after that. but the fact hit me so hard on the first time i heard it and i can feel my heart sank. i have much expected it... but just waiting for some solid evidence.. and it's finally here. i think... things will never be the same. should i give it up halfway since i know there's no good ending to it... or should i just finish the race and pretend that the ending is going to be good? Sometimes it's just hard to decide.

I know this is kinda abstract and no one need to understand it or whatsoever. just some disclaimer: the above paragraph is not related to anyone in my circle of friends and there is no finger-pointing at anyone. It's plainly a personal fa lao sao thing and i'm the only involved party in it. thank you.

Last but not least. Would like to tell all the ppl getting their O's results tmr (or rather, today), go with your normal and calm heart (i know it's very difficult, but try), and not be afraid that u didn't do well.. cos you know you've done your best no matter what. IT IS the result of your 4year education in sec school and no matter how good/bad it is.. it is very good already! Everyone has their own abilities and forte, so rmb to choose wisely and choose something you REALLY wish to do. if your parents are not supportive. dun give up. do your homework and prove to them that route you want to take is worthy. JIAYOU ppl. and i will pray. pls give me a call when u need someone to talk to. I'll be glad to ans. :)

CO CO

Ytd was spent in CO and more CO.

Went back to nyjcco in the morning.. erm. dunno most of the ppl there! haha! a few familiar faces but dun really know their names. anyway... luckily there was some company - jon and ds. haha! Still quite fun to be back in co room... miss the times? haha. i think so. i think it's miss the times after co. lol. guess they are much more efficient now... we used to take eons to leave the room... cos we are the ppl who lock the room... so own time own target lah.. haha.

Then went for nusco prac... er-jie came! haha. and we coincidentally wore the same shirt of different colour. lol! Anyway... prac was er... a bit dry ytd... was quite sian-ed cos not much of challenging parts. haha. a bit fan jian right. lol.

After prac slack outside for a while... er-jie went off first... then i went dinner with the rest. sit there and chatted till 10.15pm then took train back to bedok... wah. sian. haha! but was still fun spending time with them.

Later going out... to celebrate maine's bday. i think it will be good! :))) Like everyone is going to be 21 this year. sure it's going to be a tired year. haha! Oh! i actually won like a pair of tickets to Tanya's showcase at st.james. but it's tonight. haix. hopefully there's next time cos friends are still more impt. :)

JOEL! We meet when u book out next time!! (i hope)

Dad and mum's anni.

Actually i have no idea what i want to blog abt. haha.

Today's my dad and mum's anniversary.. actually i dunno how many years... but i think it's 36? haha. Anyway.. dinner with them and da-jie at Botak Jones bedok. large portion and nice! But really cannot finish... next time go there try other things... i think their steak quite nice. next time i want to try their salad, hotdog and burger. haha! er. not possible to finish all on my own lah. dabao-ed 2 choco cheese cake back. :))) Anyway. I hope my parents will have a very happy year ahead. And stay good in health so that they can enjoy life! (like they already did and still enjoying) YEAH! :)

Ok... this morning my self-fix cabinet arrived... and it's now half done... we - my dad, da-jie and i spent abt an hour to fix the base and half the height of the whole cabinet. The wood is damn heavy!! So we fixed half and move it to the correct spot first. cos i dun think we can carry the whole thing when it's done. haha. Tmr then continue the other half. and soon. it will be filled with my things. Hee. :)

It's almost 2 weeks into school. It's really fast!!! We have some assignments and project due in week 7 and that's like 5weeks away.. and that includes one week of CNY. i wonder where i get the time to do it... hmm... ok.. the point is... it doesn't feel as if school had started for such a long time. (is it long? haha) HAve quite a few projects for this sem. and already decided the same grp-ing for 2 projects. i wonder if we should do all the projects with the same grp.. cos sometimes things tend to mess up. So actually i prefer the balloting way thou there's some sort of risk of getting some ppl that u cannot work with. haha. but i thought that's life. Ok. I still hope the best for this sem lah ok. :)

Anyway... CNY is like coming but i'm not so much in a mood for it.. why huh? haha! I think it's coming too fast... am not prepared for it yet cos i only got 1 dress... haha! i need some shopping time lah. a bit lazy and places are getting crowded also. =x

ok.. shall blog again another day... tired.

Beauty World... CHA! CHA! CHA!

"Beauty World.. Cha-cha-cha!" :)



Thanks to er-jie.. we got really front seats.. like 4th row from the front!! We can see like everyone on stage SO CLEARLY! nice. There were a lot of laughter from the play itself. With very little knowledge of the story (ok.. i know i very mountain tortoise), there were a lot of surprises presented to the audiences (or at least to me).

Ok.. it's actually abt this girl - Ivy (Elena wong), from batu bahat coming to sg to look for her long-lost father, from the clue of the jade piece left with her when she was young. 'Beauty World' was engraved onto the jade, thus she decided to enter beauty world hoping to find out who her father is. And so the story goes as she found her penpal in sg - Rosemary (Alemay Fernandez) to help her. Successfully getting in to the cabaret with the very nice 'mummy' (Neo Swee Lin), she then met Ah Hock (Daren Tan) and Wanchoo (Irene Ang) and Lulu (Denise Tan). then blah blah blah. er. i'm not so going to tell u the rest. haha!

What i like is... I think this is something very special about very local plays. Each role has its iconic actions or dialogue lines... and they do leave me a very good impression of the playwright and the director being able to do that. This is especially true for the supporting roles like wanchoo, the towkays, ah hock, rosemary joseph and frankie. Anyway the last 2 were quite interesting... most of the time they weren't connected to the beauty world itself... and i thought they would end up tgt. dotx! I just dun like the ending! haha!!!

And of cos... Dick Lee did a great great job in writing the songs. and well... leaving me in the poison of Beauty World.. Cha! Cha! Cha!... and my sis in "I-i-i-i-i-i-vy... I love you..." haha. That's the only song poor Frankie sang in the whole play! Ok... i like Ivy's "I don't care" too... But well... i didn't buy the soundtrack lah... hee. so whoever has it... pretty please?? :))

Nonetheless... it's a very good musical with very realistic actions and well... very nice sets. technology is really great. oh.. i dunno how many cigarettes they wasted each night actually... and weird thing is... there's no smell although they were all 'smoking'. cos they didn't really inhale the smoke... ok... or so some did i do not know... but some were quite obvious. oh. there was this instance that ah hock threw a lighted cigarette butt on the stage floor and i was taking note if anyone will step on it to distinguish it.. but apparently it wasn't but nothing happened lah... i think the set that moved out just squash it or something near.

Oh... I like their dances too... thumbs up for the choreographers! i like the good coordination between the main dancer (usually the person singing) and the chorus... when some were so entertaining... the most impressive ones (to me) are the first and the last (the finale).. both dancing to the theme song. :) The weird thing is... not all the songs are as lively and bouncy as the theme to match the cabaret... but OK. I'm obviously very satisfied! :)))

If u want to know more and well... have a really good laugh! I mean a really good one... pls go to sistic now and get urself a ticket to the show. Dun miss it man! It's only a few days left to the last show this sat. GO!! haha. Oh-oh... it will be better if u can understand a bit of cantonese dialect cos some funny lines came from there.

'I also donch know' - wanchoo's fav line (when she actually knew what was happening).
'Oh goodness gracious' - Rosemary's fav line... she's very pokka-dotty... everything she owns is of pokka-dots pattern. haha.

The play is just so cute and entertaining. I like! :)

Gathering the rss ppl.

Ok.. today is a rather fruitful day. did quite a lot of things... other than waking up quite late. lol!

Did some tidying up of my home... packed up the last drawer of the table to be taken away after hanging up a clean set of curtains... then went out with my da-jie to Ikea to make our order for the shelves/cabinet to replace the table which was already taken away in the evening... so everything is lying on the floor now... and my table chair is now what i'm sitting on... haha! and full of my clothes hung over the back of the chair. so much that i have to clear at least half be4 i can sit securely on the chair... well. it means no more chair and table to dump my clothes in future!!! dotx. Anyway that's it lah... it's settled already.. just have to wait for it to arrive and assemble it and put all my stuff properly onto the shelves. Realised how much things i have to clear out of the table.. terrible!! Realised how many CDs we actually have... but due to space constrain.. the plan of getting a high CD-rack is put on hold. until i have better ideas. hee.

After that was the gathering for my batch rss ppl. the turn-out rate wasn't as good as the last.. but there were still some familiar faces and some new faces. it's a good thing after all... it means the next one there will be even more ppl! yea. Heard it's going to be soon.. like probably the next month. haha! It's already surprising enough to hear ppl having primary school batch gathering... even more surprise to hear them having it within such short interval again. hopefully it will be more successful with more ppl turning up! :)

So from 6/4 (my class).. 6 of us actually went... 4girls and 2 guys. i think the last time was the other way round! haha. other than jiewan and jiaying whom i seen during our last class gathering (which was almost 2years ago)... i haven't seen the other 3 ppl for very very long... huiwen, yeekiat and khaipang. just chatted abt all the funny incidents in class and asked abt how some others who didn't come are doing. quite cool. we had a table to ourselves.. just that it's a little small for 6ppl. haha. a few pangseh-ed. haix. tsk tsk.. edwin and wenguang lah.. and bernice too. hmm.. next time next time. haha.

And really thanks to wensheng who is willing to organise the gathering.. thou i nv knew him personally when we were in rss... and thanks to weimin cheok who sent us back just now and the other time too! and of cos thanks to the ppl who made this possible. all who turned up.

1st week of school

Wah! so fast! First week of school gone. :)


Ok... first week usually quite slack lah... but i guess we are all clear of what kind of assignments we will be facing this sem. as it will be the last sem for some of the classmates (mostly from class A)... i think it is going to be quite a difficult sem. so i think everyone should start early yea! I believe it's not too early to start planning now.


Anyway... fortunately or unfortunately... my class will be seeing the same lecturer for 3 mods out of the 5. wow! but he's inviting quite a no. of guest speakers for 2 of them lah... and the other one is only conducted fortnightly. a good thing thou. haha! Hope that this sem will pass peacefully lah... :)

Something that is hard to believe and whatever... i'm actually talking to at least 6 ppl from my primary school the whole night... talking abt the gathering that will be happening tmr. apart from those i've already confirmed with. i dunno since when the pri school ppl become so 'on' and ask for gathering... haha. we'll see tmr. quite excited but filled with suspension as to who will be there and blah blah... Just quite sad that some of my closer friends can't make it. tsk!

Yupx. that's all! nitex.

Into the new year and new sem

Time really flies... one week passed just like that... how much things happened in this whole week can't be compared with what happened today... anyhows... i shall start from where i stopped the last time. haha.


U might think that i'm crazy but i went to kbox again on 1st jan with 3 precious ppl from nyco... jon, emily and yingying. too bad ds was on duty... even thou jon claimed that he had sore throat... he participated very well... haha! We were rather high thou it's in the afternoon... thanks to emily... but she got tired later... lol. anyway... it was really fun time with these ppl and i have no idea when will we be able to meet up again. but i hope... soon! I really miss the times after co every sat... that's the reason for my very good attendance for co in my jc life... these few ppl nv failed to make my life in nyco colourful and full of laughter cos prac is always boring. =x Well... zhiwen dun take my words too seriously. haha!

Then it was work and break and work the next 3 days... Finally went to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks on thurs with my sis, her bf and sylvia... Really slow i know... but i insisted on going to the theatre to watch instead of watching online lah. lol! Yea.. i'm rich! and i'm joking. =x

Sat went for nusco prac... actually it wasn't a very long session... cos some ppl have to prac for a concert happening next week.. there wasn't a lot of ppl either... but i thought it might be a good idea for me to show face once in a while... since there's no prac next week.. and i dunno if i can make it the following week. heex. So i was surprised that i could play tian shan!! haha! the last time i touched my erhu was like almost a month ago. the erhu bag was covered in dust. and both the strings snapped... haha. =x

Then was a meet up with mingyan like finally!!! went for a bbq at her house... met some of her friends and thou we do not know each other... had fun too. just talking and whatever. in the end geraldine went too... she was shocked cos we just saw each other during nus prac? haha. it was long since i last met up with mingyan lah... reminds me of our primary school days. too bad she's going back tmr... if not i would have asked her to the rss gathering!

Last but not least... Today was a really busy and tiring day... i packed up my table... not yet ready to be moved out.. but soon it will be! the last drawer to be cleared... actually a bit bu she de lah... but i know i dun use it very often... so might as well.. Just that in future there's no more table for me to anyhow put my things... esp. my clothes... haha! so perhaps things wun be lying ard my room table anymore cos shelves will be taking over... yup.

Then i dunno what's wrong with my family but some noise woke me up from my nap just now... i guess my parents are so much into some cold war... just becos of a toothbrush. ridiculous. this was what happened... (i think.. cos i was sleeping) my dad was trying to get my xiaoshu (who just came to stayover) a toothbrush to use for the night... i dunno what the argue nor the situation was when my mum got into a range. all i knew was i heard a loud clashing sound.. so immediately i got up and went to the kitchen.. thinking nothing was wrong. but actually it was the mirror at the basin that broke off from the cupboard... can't be fixed back anymore... the irony was.. my xiaoshu actually brought his own toothbrush. thanks. i think my mum's upset with my dad's attitude and the tone he speaks in. but i just dun like it when she keeps repeating and harping on the same matter. i'm upset cos it's only a very trival matter and it has to be blown up like that. but sometimes i would rather i not say anything to make matters worse. well.. no family is perfect anyway.. i guess they will be ok soon. (pretend u didn't see this paragraph... i'm ok too.)

Anyway... school is starting... TMR!!!! Timetable is bad!!! So sad that this sem i have to go to school EVERYDAY~!! it's like one class per day. what a waste of time. haix! whatever. 15 weeks will be over very fast! :) NITEX.

First day of 2008!

Early in the morning of the 1st day of 2008, let's bid goodbye to 2007 and say a big HI to 2008!! I hope 2008 is really going to be a better year myself and all the ppl ard me... in one way or the other...

The first to wake up in the crowd... one of the reason is it's really cold here.... amazed that i could make use of such small space to sleep... cos dun have pillow dun have blanket... it was freaking cold when i wanted to sleep... but thanks to zhiwen's maid who helped cover a towel over me... if not think i would be shivering... the wind was so strong i had to really cross my arms to keep it warm.

After my last blogging session... we were actually quite hungry and a few of us quite awake... just nice zhiwen's maid woke up so she helped us heat up the food... cool!!! Jiawei, joel and i started eating the [crees-p] wedges, chicken nuggets and chicken wings when the rest of the ppl were already fast asleep... talked a lot of rubbish... and i can't even rmb what we actually talked abt... i think some household lizard stuff.. then the tv characters and i dunno what... zixin and yongquan joined us after they finished watching alvin online... Then i think we so pig lah... cos we all went to sleep after eating.. including me! haha. just felt so tired... can't even rmb correctly what time exactly we all fell asleep.. only rmb we heard national anthem on tv. that was 6am. haha. So i actually slept from abt 6 to i think 9am? or earlier.. not very sure... dunno why i suddenly woke up also... but seeing everyone else still sound asleep... and i had nothing to do liao... so start typing this lah... haha.

I dun think 2007 was an extremely bad or extremely good year... there are times in the year that i enjoyed most while sometimes it could be the lowest point of my mood and feelings. Actually i believed there were more good things than bad things that happened to me throughout the year... i believed so cos i can't really rmb any dark periods other than the attachment period.. but of cos the school term occurring in first half of 2007 has the most crazy load of projects... and results were really up to standard...

Ok... most of the ppl are up already... going for breakfast soon.. MAC breakfast! haha. update again... :)
