Lunch for Thought - The Mentorship Edition

2011-09-08T02:22:00.006+08:00

Prior to this, I was wondering what I should write for this entry. But thereafter, I've decided to share with you guys my takeaways from a conversation with my mentor this afternoon over lunch. The following is in the context of the communications industry.

1. Always think towards to being your own boss

Do you want to be a salaried employee forever? Or do you want to have the power to call the shots in the future? After all these years of slogging for your bosses, even if you are working as a PR executive all along, you can still ultimately start up your own business in the area of your interest.

When he was talking about this. I was thinking, "How good if I have my own little fashion boutique too?" It made a bit of sense to me at that point because to me, as we grow older, everything slows down and we may not be as competitive or driven as before, and this is the time when we can, or if we can, afford to lay back while our incomes just continue flowing in. How good is that?

2. Networking is very, very important

If you start to have the above thought/goal (starting your own biz) in mind, the networking that you do and the rapport that you've built along your career will definitely help you tremendously at the time when you want to start a business. But that aside.

Having a strong network can really help you make many things possible. Period.

3. Certain personality traits are what some employers are looking for nowadays

Every industry has their own 'type of people'. Certain people with a certain set of personality traits strive better in certain industry. For instance, a person who is very aggressive will do well in the sales industry but might not be able to perform well in client servicing. It is also observed that some companies do make job applicants go through some 'online personality tests' or 'EQ tests' before allowing them through the first round of interview. Why?

4. EQ is important too

One has to be tactful when one communicates with his/her clients. A lot of EQ is needed to deal with clients amicably. Like how my mentor puts it, there are a lot of ways to break a BAD news. It is just how you do it, that will result in a less depressing aftermath.

The above are my version of understanding and most importantly, my way of interpreting and internalising my mentor's words and ideas. Agree with it or not, it's wholly up to you.

Just sharing my two cents worth.

Okay I'm sorry...

2011-08-18T01:30:00.002+08:00

I have neglected you again! I think I need to get back on this.

My last semester. About 4 months to the end of my school life.

The unknown awaits me.

Secret Confessions of a Private Tutor

2011-04-11T01:20:00.004+08:00

Just like the title has implied, I have some confessions to make.

I started giving tuition since my A levels, 2008. But I started coaching my juniors on Maths with my previous math teacher just after I graduated from secondary school. But after A levels, I officially started my 'business', and never stopped ever since.

So I could say I got quite a wealth of experience. Not a lot, but desirable.

I had a few kids in Woodlands when I used to stay there, but because my dad wanted to move, I dropped all of them and moved over. At Pasir Ris, I finally got this Sec 3 female student who lives near my house. I had her for almost 1 year 4 months now. Time flies. I taught her from Sec 3 till now. And now, she's heading towards her O levels.

Only lately, I got two more students because I need to increase my 'income' and also to live a better last uni year. It's April now, and many of them are going to take their mid year examinations, like them, I am also very concerned.

The first tutee I got at Pasir Ris has been pleasant to teach. She is a darling, but sometimes can be a bit lazy. She did well for her Sec 3 mid year exams, but unfortunately fall way below our expectations at the end of the year. Almost every single one of her subjects failed. Horror! She might be highly distracted by her school activities and partly, i didn't keep an close eye on her enough (due to my demanding internship).

Nonetheless, it is not about pursuing the faults, but making sure that she rises up to her original standards again. The start of this year has been a tough one. I tried very hard to be very observant of her. Her restlessness, laziness, distracted-ness, all I could tell at a glance. Also, trying to pinpoint all the deepest causes of her carelessness and mistakes.

The common tests that had just passed. She did rather well - mostly a 70 percentile. And during our last lesson together, she told me that she wanted to not just pass her papers, but to go beyond that. I am so glad when I heard of such determination coming out of her. She used to fail every single maths and science papers she took, and now that she has passed them, she told me that she wanted to ACE them!

Her determination spurred me on too. I wanted to help her get to her goals. I really want to. Earlier, I asked her to do every single questions on the TYS and guess what? She really started on it and also handed me a pile of them for marking. A lot to mark, a lot of work, yes, but I am really happy marking them, writing notes for her to take caution of. I am a happy tutor.

For the next few weeks, I am going to try my best to help her and motivate her, so that she will do well in her mid-year. If you also happened to be a tutor, share your tips with me too! :D

On a side note, pressure as a tutor can never be neglected. It is so stressed when all eyes are on you and you have to deliver the results. But seriously, for all the effort that I have put in, if your daughter still can get the results you want, you can just shoot me.

A lot of stuff in sciences have to be memorised and understood. I have helped you understood, and now its your turn to memorise. If you can't memorise everything, you can't blame me. I went as far as coming out with acronyms to help you memorise and testing you if you remembered. Seriously. I tried.

It's sad but hey, it's life.

Sometimes, I do self checks. I reflect on my own performance and find places where I can improve on. In fact, during the sessions, I am also learning, learning how to teach you better, how to better my explanation skills, every second, every minute, I learn.

So student, let's do our best and get this exams out of our way. You happy, I happy.

We help each other yea?

Bright and Shine! ^^

2011-04-10T08:31:00.005+08:00

Its Sunday and 8.34am and I am awake! Amazing it is.

I woke up real early yesterday and didn't take afternoon nap at all. So I decided to go to bed early to rest. Yesterday was a cool day, so I guess today will be the same?

I realised that i didn't do much these few days, perhaps it's because i did too much for the past few days. I took a rest, yes, i deserve it. Let's not be guilty Irene. You need a rest. Real work shall start today? Maybe.

I feel so proud of myself now, my room is clean and the air is fresh. Ready for the final exams battle! It was in such a mess due to my negligence previously. :)

So an update on my To-Dos: editing and revision. I always like to write down to-dos somewhere (on multiple places in fact) for my own reference and tracking, just a habit of mine. Ignore this paragraph if you are not interested.

Yay! A lil update on my past activities. Went MFW for Nat's debut, and the trip was awesome despite being so shagged after all the work. :)

So yea! That's about it. Really looking forward to the next few weeks. It's going to be interesting.

I am back!

2011-04-09T13:53:00.003+08:00

It's been a while really. The last post was written a day after my 19th birthday, 2 years ago!

For the past few years, i have been busy with being active on social media, internship and other useless stuff. Recently, one of my modules require my group to do up a blog post for our articles, so I went back to check up my blogspot account and saw my blog.

When i was reading through my past posts, I laughed at my childishness, ignorance and emo-ness. I WAS so YOUNG, then. But its interesting.

Look at my blog design. So passe! Haha! I changed the background and header to a much simpler one for the moment. Still wondering what design I want to adopt for the new me. :)

Hence, I decided to write something. I have a lot to say, a lot to feel, but just didn't know where to express properly. Ranting on twitter is effortless yes, but ain't effective in relieving myself.

So here I am, back. But should I continue blogging?

Happy Birthday to me

2009-10-17T03:13:00.002+08:00

Happy birthday to me! gees...

was happy today. many reasons.
really appreciates all the things my frens have done for me.

I rather fix all these memories in my heart rather than listing them out one by one.

I am thankful, really thankful that i was born to this world to have such wonderful frens. You guys know who you are. You, you and YOU! :D

Usually, i am already very expressive. You will, most of the time, know what i feel towards an event or person. If i am grateful, i will say thank you, aloud.

ItdependsToo!

Anyway, the second reason I'm here is because of YOU.

보고 싶어용

shit.

If only you knew.

2009-10-11T02:23:00.000+08:00

If Only You Knew - Patti LaBelle

I must have rehearsed my lines
A thousand times
Until I had them memorized
But when I get up the nerve
To tell you, the words
Just never seem to come out right

(Chorus:)
If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you
If only you knew
How much I do
Do need you

I dream of moments we share
But you're not there
I'm living in a fantasy
'Cause you don't even suspect
Could prob'ly care less
About the changes I've been going through

(Repeat chorus)

No, you don't even suspect
Could prob'ly care less
About the changes I've been going through

(Repeat chorus until fade)

A very apt song to describe my feelings.

Relief

2009-10-02T03:15:00.004+08:00

Yippee! My dad's long haunting problem has been resolved today. :)

Happy for him!

I feel happy too! =D

It's a total relief today.

I dunno why. I feel quite happy today as i am able to spend almost the whole day with my dad.

He is getting on ages. Though he is not as old as my friends' dads, he's kind of young but still...
I still feel the need to care for him more. He has worked so hard all these years to give us a better life. I am appreciative. I thank god for giving me such a wonderful dad. =D

Woah! Why am i getting all emo over this. haha!

Hope that there are more happy things to come! =D

More Slack More Plaque

2009-10-01T02:47:00.004+08:00

More Slack, More Plague

As you can see. I am blogging more frequently.

Shows that i need someone to talk to but i can't find anyone.

And also shows that I have nothing else better to do.

Therefore, here I am.

Yes yes! I am quite free for the moment, can slack for awhile.

Having more time to slack also give me more time to think too much.

I would rather be busy with nothing than thinking of everything.

Argh! Frustrated.

I think i need to go and complete my readings.

And i am missing two lectures and tutorials tomorrow. Goodness.

Beyond me.

2009-09-30T16:48:00.002+08:00

It's beyond me. Seriously.

Je pense trop et je devrais cesser la pensée.

I am seriously worried about tomorrow.

What will happen tomorrow?

I don't know.

So many issues, so many problems.

All these turned my once happy self into the current smiling-less self.

I need to return, return to the REAL me. The cheerful me.

Make me happy again. Please!

project overload

2009-09-28T22:44:00.003+08:00

Recess week is over.
And my mid terms have just ended.

This signifies a happy week ahead for me?
HELL no!

There are a tonnes of projects crushing down on me right now.
argh! feel so suffocated.

This is my first sem with more than one project. haha!

My mind is in a state of confusion. There are too many things for me to do until i duno which to start doing first. I hope i would numb myself with work until i couldnt think!

on a side note,

I am totally in love with this piece of music!

This music sort of calms me. *breathes in* *breathes out*

主动。

2009-09-28T21:24:00.002+08:00

你的嘴角，时不时挂着她的名字。
可见得她在你心里，还存有着一些思念。

她的一举一动你不停的对我说。
我微笑倾听你说，
我却越听越心痛，
怎么你说的不是我？

我不知道你是不是在躲我。
我或许是主动了一点。
但这并非是我要的。

是因为，
我担心，
担心年底之后，
就再也见不到你了。

我知道你最近可能为了一些事而困惑。
就算你要逃避，要面对，
就算你走的再远，
累了回头我就在你的身边。

有时候，还真希望你知道。
但，以你现在的情况，
还是不知道比较好。

唯有了解你，才可以走进你心里。

2009-09-23T00:33:00.003+08:00

唯有了解你，才可以走进你心里。

我不知道为什么，我的心情那么的任由你摆布。
你说的每一句话，每一个字，都对我那么的重要。

像是我没有了自己的思想一样。
你的一举一动，也反复地在我脑海里打转。
想撇开，也不行。
真的好恐怖。好无助。

我也不想这样。
在你面前，我好像不是我自己。

我不知道我为什么那么的受你影响。
对你的喜欢，也令我无法自拔。

最近，我才发现。
唯有了解你，才可以走进你心里。
有时，我还真想放弃。
但我不行。我不想。我也舍不得。

给我两分钟，让我把记忆结成冰。

只有这样，我的心，才不会痛。

I like you

2009-09-21T01:39:00.002+08:00

Oh gosh! now its September! so sorry for the lack of updates!

I am super ultra troubled recently.
That's partly the reason why i come back here to blog.
I totally need to vomit everything out here!

Mixed feelings
Give up? or not?

Or simply just look at it in a objective way.
yeah i know i know!
but i can't! i can't...

I can't help thinking of what i am not supposed to think.
I'm serious. really serious. until i went THIS far.

Are you, still thinking of her?

I want to occupy part of your heart. I do.

My b0ring Life

2009-07-14T19:28:00.002+08:00

My b0ring Life

I am like wasting my life away. by doing nothing constructive like working or earning money..
I felt so useless each time i wake up in the morning. Who says a student on vacation does not have any worry? My worry is my not-earning-extra-allowance status right now.

but, who cares? my father no longer nags at me and my mum is pleased to give me allowance whenever i help her take care of the household chores. Frankly, i dun do them for money la.... Jus that i really had nth much to do at home. Although i do take up on some tasks from my frens, i still feel that something is missing in my life. Or rather, my life isn't complete yet. I have so much online work need to do at times. I have to be using the computer to do my work. I loathe it!

i dun really like the feeling of cramping myself in front of the computer trying rush out things that may not be of the best quality. I like to do it whenever i feel it, whenever the inspiration comes. I sometimes don't understand how come ppl can stay online for so long...

I rather read my romance novels and listen to the latest songs or even watch the dreadful tv instead of you know... hais...

Worse still, i dun wish school to start so soon.. everytime when i tot of the terribly long journey i need to take to go to school, i shut down. SH0o!

I am TRUE

2009-06-26T03:02:00.002+08:00

I am TRUE

I am true to every one.
I am sincere in everything i do.

I harbor neither revoking thoughts nor evil intentions.

When its ugly, I'll puke.
When its pretty, I'll compliment.

What I say stands for what I believe.
I have a mind of my own.

Please don't judge me.

Fallen Heart

2009-06-25T02:51:00.000+08:00

My Fallen Heart

My heart has fallen lately.
Not sure why. Not sure how.

I should be happy with the current state of myself.
However, something which lingers in my mind prevented me from being so.
What is that, I wondered.

Is it necessary that one will be happy if one is self appraising and not compare oneself with others?
Will people be more unhappy if they start comparing oneself with the rest?

For me, comparisons... what's important is with respect to whom.
With whom am I comparing myself with.
Should I or Should i not.
Why and Why not.

Frankly, sometimes, i cant help it either.
I have to be contented. I MUST!

Please Irene, stop subjecting yourself to unnecessary tortures.
Be True and Happy.

Bored. Why not me?

2009-06-20T16:03:00.002+08:00

In life, some people regret for the things they had done in the past.
But for me, i dunno whether i should regret or not.
Many many what-ifs are running through my mind.
What if I didnt ...
What if i give it a try?
What if I failed?

What-ifs don't exist, my goodness sake!
Then why should the 'word' even be invented?!

ahh.. i've guess it.
it's for regreted people like me.
Yes, they are for The Regrets.

Like me.

OVerconfidence

2009-05-23T20:55:00.003+08:00

Sometimes, being confident is good.

However, having too much of it doesn't benefit you much either.

In fact, overconfidence is BAD!

When you try to perform certain actions based only on your so-called confidence.
Please learn to bear all consequences first.

In my opinion, as a mature adult, being responsible is more important than trying to show others how confident you are.

okok. i know its may alr

2009-05-19T14:59:00.002+08:00

okok.. hahas. i know it's MAY alr! and my last post was March. Goodness. alright. March thru april is cox i am having my finals and my paper ended on the 4th May. so technically, i am suppose to be free to blog from then onwards. hahas!

and yes, i am slacking at home now. have been trying to look for a job since last last week, but to no avail. Nth comes knocking to my door after i have sent so many resumes. probably i should consider dropping by a recruitment agency to help me. hais.

I would believe that FB should be a good enough platform to know what i have been up to recently, outings and stuff. Usually i would have pictures for them, so ya. However i would briefly dump some pictures (nice ones of course) for viewing and briefly narrate some interesting events durin the trip.

show ya my fave taylor swift's video, I LOVE it since its aired!

cute and sweet! love it! =D

have you ever thought that real and sincere frens do exist?
I don't know.
Thoughts and feelings stir up inside me after watching Gossip Girls.
But i do believe that life is seriously and inevitably sophisticated.
Especially after what i have been through these few days.

The phrases and words you used does not show how true a friend you are to me since last time.
In fact, they lead me to skepticism. I don't understand at all. Am I that unreliable?
Perhaps, or maybe, you have never treat me as a real friend from the beginning.

Marketing assignment is killing me.

2009-03-24T00:54:00.003+08:00

Un, deux, trois
One, Two, Three
Chanson enfantine

Un, deux, trois,

Quatre, cinq, six,

Sept, huit, neuf et dix,

We can count from one to ten,

This is how we sing again,

Un, deux, trois,

Quatre, cinq, six,

Sept, huit, neuf et dix.

This is a children song on numbers.

Elle marche seule dans la nuit sous un ciel de minuit
En suivant les lampadaires qui s’allument dans la nuit
Tranquillement elle reprend le même chemin qu’avant
Les allées qui serpentent jusqu’à l’odéon
Et dans les vitrines en face, elle se voit passer

Dans les yeux de marie on voit la vie qui passe
Le jour plus sombre que la nuit
Elle n’attend que lui, elle n’attend que, da da da…
Et les écrans de télé reflètent le côté caché de ses envies
Mais j’ai pas compris pourquoi on voit que la nuit
Dans les yeux de marie

Dans une cabine téléphonique
Elle tente encore de faire son appel transatlantique
Mais elle tombe sur le son de la tonalité
Il n’était pas là, d’ailleurs il n’est jamais là
Retourne-toi, ne reste pas la, c’est pas la peine chère marie

Dans les yeux de marie on voit la vie qui passe
Le jour plus sombre que la nuit
Elle n’attend que lui, elle n’attend que, da da da…
Et les écrans de télé reflètent le côté caché de ses envies
Mais j’ai pas compris pourquoi on voit que la nuit
Dans les yeux de marie

Jour après jour après la fin du monde
On se cache du soleil et des amours souffrants
Je crois que toi et moi aussi, on est un peu comme marie

Dans les yeux de marie on voit la vie qui passe
Le jour plus sombre que la nuit
Elle n’attend que lui, elle n’attend que, da da da…
Et les écrans de télé reflètent le côté caché de ses envies
Mais j’ai pas compris pourquoi on voit que la nuit
Dans les yeux de marie

listen!
nice catch ytune
found it while googling
J'aime sa voix!
woots! at least i understand half of it!

Life is boring life's unfair
especially with those sicko liars!
shucks totally.

I had just waste a whole day of 'break' today.
Planned to study French but i didnt. Glued to the youtube website once i got hooked on some interesting videos. oh goodness! shan't switch on my computer tmr unless, its time to rest or of utmost necessary! humph! control!
Hence, took the pain to find some songs to listen to redeem myself. ha!
still useless?
of course! dumb.

tmr, my off-day, will be my last chance!

i drove to rochard and vivo

2009-02-21T03:34:00.002+08:00

I had some interesting activites recently.
aww... definitely not those sweet and sleazy stuff that most ppl do on valentine's Day.
I actually wanted to stay at home the whole day to rest and do some work. Manage to be rather productive on that day.

I am even cut off from the reality by just stuff earphones from the lappy to my ears and got myself totally absorbed into the virtual world. Poor florence trying very hard to contact me but to no avail.

My phone was set to silent and my ears are stuffed with earpiece. thus i totally cant hear much; doorbells and phone ringing. Total tranquility. Yes, definitely peaceful. And solitairity.

And it's not that i am absorbed into reading my theories for New media, but my visual comm design assignment. I can be totally absorbed when i am doing photo manipulation or designs stuffs. yes but of course not readings. unless i am reading some interesting novels like Twilight and stuff.

Okay. So sweet of Florence. she made me a cutie lollipop bouquet with a heart-warming Vday message from her. There are 3 sticks of lollipops altogether. She wrapped them herself! so nice.
It really brightens up my dull afternoon! hahas.

allor! Something big happened to me on Sunday. or maybe i should say big. This might be insignificant in others' perspective. I should rephrase it.

My small milestone of my life after the one which is i got my driving license.

Sunday is the first time i get to drive, without my dad's supervision. Yes, on my own. like totally!
Co0l yea?! Officially, after i have got my driving license, he only supervise me once only. fetching mum back from work.

I drove to Orchard and then from orchard to Vivo, lastly going back home.
Driving on orchard road is exhilerating! A busy road i must say. Also, damn hard to find carparks. if wanna find somewhere cheap also very difficult. damn sian. It cost me 6 plus bucks to park in ngeeanncity just for less than 2 hrs. darn!

wasnt familiar with the roads though. Thanks to gang who is willing to sit with me to orchard to give me directions.

The worse part of lost in city is driving from orchard to vivo. I have checked the map, but wasnt sure how to get back on CTE to AYE. thankfully, somebody in my car has the GPRS function.
Hence, manage to find the directions with her directions plus some of gang's instructions and also my intuition. hahas!

It felt like total victory when we manage to get to vivo on time.
Then the rest, driving back home is a smooth journey. (cox i have checked the route b4 hand)
I can read maps alright?!?!
some say girls cant read maps. hey! Generalisation. I do. =P

some pictures at dragonfly. its another naturals gathering with a new 'member' hahas..

my new hair highlighted.
Some hairstylist wanted to train his color mixing skills.
cant really make out his name. Will let you know when i find out. =D
He requested for a model for his practice. Went to help him. and i got this. Thanks!
kinda hip and natural. okok la.. the highlight may be blonder and i can look more hippy?! hahas!
Main taboo: no ah lian look! hahas.

group picture.

Finally, i would like to end my entry with a picture of me driving! hees.
Photographer: mich
My milestone. =D

Nm2208 learning journal.

2009-02-11T01:16:00.005+08:00

hey! i jus started my NM2208 learning journal blog not long ago.
Do drop by and take a look yea?

NM2208 Learning journal << clique!

The module is fun but every week you have to produce something like that.
Alas! This is only the beginning, there are more to come.
I have seen my frens taking media and design related mod.
And now, it is my turn to experience it~!
hahas. my tutor said that this is a VISUAL communication mod, not a design mod.
So no need to stress.
However, it is still something you need to possess to produce impressive works ma.
Some people in my class are really talented.

Here's my first assignment.
Totally done from scratch! >.<

more details in the journal. =D

Drive for the first time on the expressway

2009-02-08T22:37:00.000+08:00

woots people!

i forgot to take pics! but its okay. i shall take pics when i can drive the car out ON MY OwN.

Today was under my dad's supervision. I drove all the way from Pasir Ris back to my home in woodlands.

Taking two different highways. It is so thrilling!
hahas! I was actually quite surprise by my dad's confidence in me.

I thought he might implement some step by step Road Familiarisation Pan for me. hahas!

First attempt to drive on the road with a different car of a different 'mode'.
My dad's car is larger and is automatic.
I used to drive a manual car in the road with my instructor.

I can totally feel the difference.
You have a better control of a manual car, but driving an auto car is so much easier.

when u want your car to go faster, u have to gear up, no matter wad.
However, auto car, as long as ur foot is on the accelerator pedal, ur car can go very fast, sometimes, dangerously, without u knowing it. hahas! that's the difference, IMO.

My dad also very eccentric. He expects me to drive like a pro on the road after passing la.
Ridiculous! When i exceeded the stop line at a small T junction, he screams at me. I know i have made a mistake and i am aware of it. i did it only when it is safe.

I need time to get use to his car's brakes and stuff lei... ai yohh..
Luckily i have already prepared for his 'scream', otherwise i may suffer a Shock. hahas!
I appeared to be more calm than him! whahahaha!

then he laughed at me for shifting the driver's seat so front. then he said,' you need to drive a few more times before u can sit backwards.' hahas! wad a comment!

little things that my serious and stern dad did.....

the day before, i have borrowed the probation plates from iman. then i brought it home to show my parents. we went out for house viewing and i left it in the car.

At first, i though my dad did not plan to let me drive his car that soon. cox he seems to ignore my probation plates at first. i feel sad.

the next morning when i woke up. he still didnt mention about my plates.

so i asked him,'pa.. the plates how to stick?'

dad replied,'I stick them on this morning already.'

woots! brightens up my day! thanks dad! =D

I got my driving license!!!

busy

2009-02-04T22:19:00.004+08:00

ohh noo.. i have neglected my blog for quite sometime already. so so so sorry.. was really busy recently. like VERY!

Went out for CNY and stuff. Though we didnt go back to visit our relatives, we do have programmes on our own. hahas.

my ang bao money not very impressive, so we shall skip that.

I have been getting into sleeping debts and falling really back behind on my readings.

Especially NM2101. The book is so WORDY! I can fall sleep on the first page. argh!

Sometimes, i do wonder what am i busying with? When i come to think of it at times, i really cant give myself an answer. I didnt even have time to go out to shop anymore. what am i doing? urgh! gonna do a reflection.

My time management hasnt been a problem during my first semester.
However, now, with my BAD sleeping habits, my time management sucks.
gonna control control! bleahs...

I am currently very interested in this line of parfum by Paul Smith.
Guys. If you are looking for a nice perfume, i would strongly encourage this.
However, i have found out from the website, if i am not wrong, it mentioned that it is a unisex perfume. yea... i shall go check it out sometime.

Paul Smith Story.
Nice smell. I like. =D

Dont believe, you can go try.

happy niu year

2009-01-26T00:32:00.001+08:00

photo frenzy

2009-01-20T01:49:00.002+08:00

WARNING!
Image heavy.

went out with florence to Haji Lane. And. For wadever reasons, we start to get into a picture taking frenzy. Note. This is not cam whoring. This is a kind of art.
Art of beauty sculpturing. hahas! agree with me or not. My stand is clear.

Feel so sorry to her. Have to make her wait for a week before we could go out. I also not sure why i seem to be so busy. Probably not so. Jus could fork out the CORRECT time to match. She is having a boring 5 day 9 to 5 office job. Take care flor! its ending soon!

don't look at my face. look at my HAIR! i love this color!

Thanks florence for all the photos! hope u like this collage!
There are more pictures. Will edit them soon. Next post will be mostly flor's photos! hahas!

Everything is gearing up..

2009-01-15T19:05:00.002+08:00

Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall. -Confucius

I do not really consider my CAP results last sem a failure.
Instead, it shud be the starting point of my ultimate high CAP. haha!
Work hard towards my goal and achieve it!

I know that practically saying all these arent enough.
I need to prove it via my actions.
You will see the difference. Don't worry!

I am not sure whether you are motivating me or condescending me.
Your tone seems to be belittling me becox i have scored a lower CAP than you.
You may not be on purpose. But you should know i have my own set of thinking.
I know what I am doing. At this point of time, things are not at their fullest gear yet.
I should not be too panicky over everything. I need to balance my energy.
Not throwing everything out now and be left with nothing later.

There are many methods of dealing with your life.
In life, you do not ultimately want to be Happy.
You want to deal with your life happily.

Happiness is not a destination,
It is a method of LIFE.

Happiness is a state of activity. - Aristotle

GARAGE Trip

2009-01-14T02:34:00.006+08:00

Before you proceed on reading about my activities for the day.
Take a look at this MV.
Some of you might have seen or heard this song before.
I think it is touching. Wnna share it with you. =D

WEnt to a Garage today. or is it a Workshop?
Wadever you called it yea? Nice experience and trip.
Took some ~~professional~~ noobies photos too with gang's SLR.

Bought a mag and started my shooting spree!

oh ya! i have dyed my hair again!!! Dark Quburn color. look younger than previous. hahas! cox my mum says i look older with those yellowish hair. yucks? she dyed it for me! Thanks mum!

Took some pics with the beetle outside the workshop!
Sky blue in color damn nice!

Life is a highway!

The place is a total contrast of what i have imagined.
I have imagined the place to be warm and oily.
Enclosed and smelly.

The workshop that i have seen today is kinda pleasant to be in.
Its super windy, though there's a strong petrol smell. (its located just next to the petrol station)
Cool and clean. the floors are not coated with grease or wad.
It is just clean. Really.

itchy hands again!

my manicure! DIY one. nice color? thanks to val! =D

Amazing experience i had today, being able to be there, i had to thank gang for bringing me there despite the unsuitability of the place for me.
I just wanna take a look look!

engine of a merc

From some of the above pic, u can really tell how limited the place is for picture taking.
Cox today jus nice is their 'slower' day. Not many cars.

Like he always mention to me wadever he did in that place, ripping whichever car's engine out. It's kinda hard for me to imagine everything or all those stuff he said.
It is better for me to go down and have a feel of it.
Nicer this way and i can learn sth too!

Reach there about 12pm and i left at around 4pm.
woah piang! after i reach home, i am so freaking tired la!
Fall onto my sofa and soon falls asleep. hahas!

woah.. i'm so tired now.. gonna crash! night!

BACK TO scho0o0ooooll

2009-01-13T00:18:00.003+08:00

hey hey! i am back to school!

Half excited, half moody..

The reason why i am moody is.. i am not sure if i can cope with my modules this sem and pull my CAP up at the same time. praying and mugging will be my hobbies for this sem! hahas!

What i am excited about are the modules i am taking this sem.

they are all very interesting! thats why! they are:

Principles of visual communication
Theories of communications and new media
French language! (at first i wanted to take korean, ended up i not enough points. so see you next sem korean!)
french's not bad too!
Principles of Marketing and lastly
Economics module.

They are taxing but interesting. that is the reason for me converting to a mugger religion!!!!

see you in the library! hahas!

of course, in the midst of those hardwork, i will definitely allow myself some fun to destress. no worries! i kinda have a planned relax activity somewhere already, every fortnightly. ^.^

Unfortunately, my french lectures are not starting this week. so ended up i have two days off this week. so i guess i would be doing some housework, design work, watching some behind time shows and some readings these two days. =D it all depends la...

Another worry, i hope to get all my tutorial slots (i think there may be one i will not get). gonna ballot for them this friday. wish me good luck!

Went to dragonfly for some sort of last day holiday party thing before my sch starts. and to support frens too! it's my first time there and before that i heard that its some canto club.
Took some pics! nice ambience, band and singing performance and songs too! got alot of talents are there!

At first i was wondering how ppl dance to chinese music. but alas! they played eng pop club music for us to dance. not bad! they have liveband singing performace and dancing too! da kai yan jie for me!

I didnt dance though.
i too dumb to dance. hahas

fiona and me full body! =)

fiona and me again up close!

my whisky with coke is on the left!

happily holding my whisky! nice~

Bryan, the drummer. people say he looked like MINGDAO! hahas!

simon, the guitarist. he look more handsome in person! =X

It's nice know them as frens. Enjoyed myself, thanks to the two babes and them! =D

dye hair?

2009-01-09T00:41:00.004+08:00

Should I dye my hair again for New YEar??????

The color brunette or medium warm brown or dark reddish brown?

or should i get get somebody help me do at home? budget budget!

GreAT frens are hard to come by

2009-01-08T01:11:00.005+08:00

I have wonderful friends!

This is something that i can conclude after these few days.

Went out with HIV today! I feel so bad. My presents for them arent ready yet.
still got some touch up needa do and was kinda busy so abit slow.

Sometimes i feel that i am such a lousy fren! really!
For wad they have done for me, i didnt reciprocate enough.
I have always tried my best to help my frens in need.
Those tiny little stuffs or favors they need of me that are within my capabilities.
I will definitely fulfil them with all my might!

Some heard/saw that i am in need of the Twilight series,
some, though they did not possess the books, offered to help me lend from their frens.
Some even send me the PDF format for me to read!
Really appreciated. =D

i am glad that i have some of you as my fren! Totally!
You are alll great!
I have to really thank ALL my ancestors for that!
Thanks for giving me good and wonderful frens.

The term 'frens' above need not meant only for HIV.
Of course to all of you!

Great frens are hard to come by.
People say, Frens are our yet-to-be siblings.
OR RATHER,
Best friends are the siblings God forgot to give us.

The following are my belated christmas presents from H and V!
Thanks so much babes! i LOVE them!

Val's presents for me to get pretty and destress! how thoughtful!

Hannah's practical presents! Personalised Tank Top and food! didnt take pics of the food though. Cox they are supposed to be eaten and taken pics of! whahahha!

okay la, at least mention their name - Tobolone and pink panda!

tHANKS BOTH of YOU!
frens 4eva!

2009-01-05T18:13:00.002+08:00

went CHINATOWN!

My hairband nice?

There are actually alot of good stuffs at Chinatown.
The only disadvantage is that there are tOO many ppl there! hahas!
Difficult to walk and breathe.
and

MARINA SOUTH PIER for CHENG HO Watertours!

This is at KUSU Island! nice view rite?

on the bus from marriot hotel!

There are more pics! show u later! pIctures of the scenery and the chengho cruise. hehes...

And also, i have completed book II, New moon.
It's wonderful. Edward is so sweet!

Makes me wonder something.

The pain bella suffered that steph described in the book when edward left bella.
I am so close to understanding it! I dare not say that i fully understand the pain since i have not met someone so perfect and sweet like edward. I guess this kinda guy nv exist in reality. But i believe there are some guys who are rather close to that perfection. The book gives me hope!
Wad kinda of hope? shhhhh....

Like to share with u a song.
Please stop my music playing at the side and play this.

I Still Believe In Love - Jenny Hyun

I STILL BELIEVE IN LOVE
Artist: Jenny Hyun
Composer: unknown

It was a clear summer day
when I saw the tears on your face
I knew that our time was up on us

Our moment of end was so fast
but the kiss of goodbye always lasts
not even time could fade it away

Even though you are no longer here
there is still something between us
Even though life isn't fair
I'll never lose my trust

Just another lesson to be learned
gotta move on and not lose faith
just another obstacle to take
live my life before it gets too late

I won't give up, I won't stay down
this is what life's worth living for
I still believe in love

I'm holding the warmth of your lips
it feels like the first time we kissed
when all of the stars lined up for us

but like the wind you said goodbye
and left me alone here to cry
we shouldn't have gone our separate ways

Even though you are no longer here
there is still something between us
Even though life isn't fair
I'll never lose my trust

Believe in LOVE ppl!

HAppy NEw YEAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

It's a brand new year with a brand new start!
May success be with you in wadever you do!

I shall start with the conventional boring topic - New Year Resolutions.

PS: You may also wan to skip this chunk and proceed to the next segment. =D

1. Get my driving license. (Don't ask me which day, i 'pan tang' liao)
2. Score better for Year 1 Sem 2.
3. Be more punctual
4. Stick onto an healthy Diet as and when possible (not really in a rush, haha!)
5. Save more money, get out of my poverty cycle! =D
7. Stay as healthy as i am in YR 2008.
6. Get a BF and be a better GF. (Note: This is the last resolution.)

Hmmm.. this should be all. I guess there may be somemore which i just couldn't think of in time. However, the above are the ones which are of utmost importance to me right now.

Went for the countdown party in vivo. Very nice songs and excellent company.
High Ambience too! =D

beauty

2008-12-24T01:12:00.003+08:00

What is your perception of beauty?

Good figures?
Pretty face?
Toned body?
Big bo0obs?
Big and watery eyes?

Our perception of beauty is so heavily altered by the media nowadays.

To those girls out there! Don't give up on how u look!
I didn't expect the change to be so so so drastic!

PS: I felt better after watching these videos . haha!
thanks to gang! hahas!

Certain things are not as perfect as what they may seem on the surface. ^.^

results

2008-12-23T12:09:00.002+08:00

some say their results are bad. very bad.
I guess mine should be worse. or even irrevocably hopeless?

Stupid. What happens next?

I only get to know how a few of my frens fare.
Not sure about the others whose modules are more similar to mine.

Gonna be a Mugger next sem.

Sat

2008-12-21T02:16:00.003+08:00

hannah look so happy when the prawns are cooking. so bad!

ohh okok... here is not becox i am happy that they are cooking okies.. it's just a pose. =p

They are done!

activities

2008-12-21T01:03:00.003+08:00

hahas! here are the pictures for beach at sentosa and bolt the movie outing with germ and shuyu. Finally furnished and here.

Lazy to upload everything, rest are in my facebook.

Monday

Went out with hannah and valerie to prawning and lunch. had lotsa fun. Val drive us to thomson and found out that the dim sum shop is CLOSED! humph! Then we went for subway and then one of us suggested prawning. i forgot if its me or someone else.haha

You can see that i am not so happy cox i lost my opportunity to eat dim sum! humph!

This is the pic hannah and i tried to imitate val's kind of photo-smile. hahas! so alike rite?

First time prawning and i have learnt quite a fair bit of prawning skills too! hahas.. hannah so chicken, didnt touch the prawn and bait at all! at all! ai yoh. only prawn nia, catch alr, valerie, the grabber will 'unlock' the bait and throw the prawn into our 'collection' basket. hahas! i am the bait-er, in charge of putting on the bait

Now, i am the prawn. haha

and sometimes grab the prawn, but val braver than me, so she does most of the job hahas! We had a GREAT catch alright? For first timers, we arr FANTASTIC! =X

Tuesday to thursday went my CCA PRU camp. get to know quite a number of ppl, but didnt keep most of their contacts. guessed there's only one contact i had. but it doesnt matter. Enjoyed myself during the camp, though i didnt really like the combination of my OG. Despite that we won all the games we had. amazing rite? cox most of the guys in my OG are tall and capable of sports. that's the reason. hahas!

After the camp i went for HJ gathering. Jiun jus got back from Aussie and she misses us. hahas! ok la. i miss her too. Her voice and her craziness. Hope that she is happy always.

We went to watch TWILIGHT together, it's a nice movie. Not chick flick, not horror. Not total romance either.

It is a mixer of everything and yet it did not overdo any of the above aspects.

I researched for the following pictures! Nice!
Looking forward to read the book too!
Edward looks awesome here!

Sweet.

The words that Edward choses to speak to Bella is so strong and full of passionate. Expressing their strong love to each other. however, i guess bella has to brush up her acting skills. cox in my opinion, she didnt really bring out the super strong love for Edward.

Edward is such a 'perfect' boyfriend, the material that every gal wishes for.
Dash to your rescue
Watches you sleep every night
Making sure that you are safe all the time
Give it all out just to protect you

Mind you, dun get too absorb into the movie. Like me. Shit!

Edward looks so mysterous and attitude here, when i saw this scene, i felt that i wanna know more about this character. What an attractive vampire!

Friday was my resting day! Like finally you know? I was damn tired.

Continue the rest in the next post! =D

Apologies for the absence of photos these few posts. There's something wrong with my phone. hais.

midst of exams!

2008-12-03T02:24:00.000+08:00

wo0oh0o....!!!!!

I am currently in the midst of my exams.
Thurs will be my last paper!
Gees.. i'm kinda like having partial hols now..
sorry la, recently i have been spending all my free time to watch taiwan dramas.. hahas.. so engrossed that i forgot to blog. sorry sorry!

You know?
When i am around primary sch to secondary sch age, my dad will put me on his huge motor bike and drive me to Johore. To buy foood, add petrol, eaaat and buy some stuffs home to watch.. hehes... however...
the older i get, the less frequent it became.

It became almost impossible when he converted his motor bike to a lorry (for work purpose).

Now that he has converted his lorry to a MPV(family car). he started going johore again. for petrol and his handphone stuffs. once in a while my whole family will go there for a sumptous dinner! nice rite?

Then recently when my dad heard that i have failed my driving, he suggested bringing me to some secluded part in johore to practise. actually not those super secluded kind la.. is those area that are still under development. so sweet rite?
of course i didnt say la!

My father and I are those kind who won't express ourselves to each other directly one. He is a serious, stern and steady guy, seldom joke (sometimes still have la) and you'll never know wad's his mood.
Even when he want to bring one of us out, he'll say 'tmr go johore, put ur alarm clock 9am hor!' Don't even ask if you are free or wad.
all said with absolutely zero feelings. hahas!

But I know he cares.

Not like some other families, or even far from those western families who always 'love you mum!' or 'Love you dad!'. hahas! I at most only 'love you mum' nia.
I wun say this to my dad, probably when he gets older or i get older and i become financially independent. then i would express myself like that. =D then i can buy stuffs for him and say 'for you dad!' and 'thanks for being my dad!' cox he old already ma.. hahas... ai yah! stupid me la!

I came to realise all the stuffs that we took for granted and the things we don't dare to do or say to our family members. Only to realise that we didnt have a chance to do/say or it became too late for us to do/say it.

This Play 'First Light', after watching it (with my theatre mates).
I appreciate life more.
Or rather LOvE the current state that i am in even more.

Love the present you!
Do not always hope for things that you do not have,
instead,
cherish those you have now.

my activities these few days

I've failed

2008-11-20T21:33:00.005+08:00

The Horn sounds so Forlorn.

Yes.
I've failed.
Too amibtious.
Kind of disappointed.

Have cried after I reached home.
I know. I'm silly.
License in half a year?
Not possible
At least for me.

I took it seriously. I really did!
However, it did not seem to work.
I hate myself.

I did not mount any curb.
I've made stupid mistakes.
One more lesson to learn.

Wish me luck for the next time.

It'sover!

2008-11-19T13:50:00.002+08:00

IT's finally over!! wo0oho0o...
Submitted my portfolio and done with the play staging! all done!
It went quite well i guess. Despite all the challenging questions.
All of us had given our best shot.
We all deserve some applause.
Cox most of my groupmates are good actors and actresses.
In fact, we ALL are. haha!

Good job done ppl!

Now
Apart from the final exams,
I'm left with my last challenge.

Actually, previously i was rather stressed up with all the stuffs that are happening concurrently.

After the TS pract exam, i felt much better. really.

Everything will be fine after tmr.

why?

2008-11-17T00:13:00.001+08:00

Why is everyone turning their backs against me?

You used to stand by me all the time.

However...

I sense something amiss nowadays.
Are you venting all your distress on me?
Is it jus because you aren't happy with the state you are in and you vent it all on me?

I don't understand your slight change in attitude towards me.
I can really sense it. Or am I thinking too much?

I may have caused you lots of trouble. I'm sorry.
But your tone is harsh.
Don't you know?
I'm hurt.

I know that I am in a miserable state now.
Caught up with lotsa shitty trouble.
There are reasons to why I did not do certain things.
There are reasons why I am in this sorry state now.

You don't understand
cause you can't see my 'inner life'.

I may appear fine to you.
In fact, I am not.
Not at all.

2008-11-16T01:15:00.003+08:00

I am just asking for a possible solution to work things out.

Do you have to throw such a tone at me?

Working with you is kind of hard.

Your domineering character.

We have no say.

moody

2008-11-13T01:01:00.002+08:00

I gonna learn to take certain things lightly...

I thought that I have already mastered the skill... however,
I just realised that i hadn't master enough..
I still do take some things seriously at times and make myself so upset.

Silly me.

daily rants`*

Still doing my portfolio, one day behind my plan.
Gotta chiong finish the drawings tmr! no matter wad. wad. wad!

Finished Microbe proj!

2008-11-09T00:16:00.002+08:00

JS: Almost done with my part, gonna add somemore info though.

TS: Done with my research, maybe doing some too along the way when required. Found half of the costumes for my groupmates. Gonna embark on my portfolio journey soon! Target = complete part of it by the end of this weekend.

You may say that I might as well use the time to blog to complete some of it now.

Problem is my brain is functioning slower. Gonna die down soon. Have for wake up early tmr to do a volunteer work too! =)

So, i guess i shall leave it for tmr before my brain protests. hahas!

Went 'touring' around old woodlands checkpoint to source for costumes. Only managed to get a white cloth for the ghost outfit. Seen quite a few nice ones, bbut the price is not nice at all. hahas! nevermind about that, at least we had quite a fun time in SS. Doing all the stupid things...consider it for a good de-stress methodology!

Heys! IT's me! selecting a bottle of wine!

So satisfied with my two milk bottles!

Then after that we went for a walk in the Pet's Lover Shop to look at dogs! OMG! they are freaking cute you know? If not for my mum, I may have one barking by my side already... =P Psst! Terrence is actually afraid of dogs! hahas... Then kun yao was like saying,' woah when you in army, you are a scout, so mach0, then when enemy let dogs out, you'll run...' I burst out laughter.

We continued to stroll along the streets of Holland Village until we were in front of this restaurant/cafe. We then went in to have our dessert and continue our chatting.

This is how the place looked like.. super comfortable! we went up to the second level. unfortunately i forgot its name! humph!

and the seats are abit of the jap style..

This is them acting 'hardworking'. o0ps!

Ai yah.. Terrence is actually showing kunyao how he microbiology pictures look like.. how gross they are.. yucks!

Terrence's drink

Our apple crumble! it really crumbles when we use our fork trying to cut it! hahas!

Stairway to Heaven

2008-10-14T23:20:00.003+08:00

Watched Stairway to Heaven with my mum last week...
We chionged a few CDs together, from early afternoon till late evening.
Both of us jus sat there to watch and cry together.
I almost broke the emotional moment and start to burst out into laughter when i saw my mum crying. hahas!

The couple is so0o0o touching!
They simply love each other so so much!
He can do anything for her and so can she.

You can really feel their love for each other judging from what they have done for each other.

It feels like...
Love is the order of the universe and we are its atoms.
It is the ocean and we are its drops…
Through love the heavens are brilliant;
Without love even suns and moons are eclipsed.

- Ross Heaven

True love can mean such simple things,
A hand to hold,
A walk in spring,
A warm embrace,
A tender touch,
That lets you know you mean so much,
A kiss that makes the world seem right,
A dream to carry you through the night,
A warmth to last the whole day through...

Love can mean so much,
When love if found,
When love is shared,
The joy it brings can't be compared.

I simply don't understand why people nowadays can take Love so lightly.
As if it can be thrown away as and when they feel like it.
Marry already? nvm la.. can divorce!

How much I wanted to go back to those ancient times when love is so sacred,
of utmost importance to all man and women.
How much i wish i could fall in love in the past to experience that kind of intense love.

Nicole bdae

2008-10-14T12:50:00.005+08:00

enough of those emo entries.
Despite writing so much, nothing has changed at all...

Jus an update of my activities recently.

Thursday: Dinner with amanda, hanson and michelle at somewhere near my school (zi Char) and drinking at dempsey road

Friday: Went for an hour's tutorial in the afternoon. Later at night, went to Jia bao's birthday party at a KTV lounge in orchard

Saturday: Returned F1 uniforms at Marina Mandarin hotel ballroom, seen him... he was hurt by an incident. take care yea? Confused once again.
Left my F1 peps at around 6pm, meeting my Theatre frens to Laselle for a Play called 'The Fever'. The play is on Poverty. Very abstract and interesting!

Sunday: Attended Nicole's 21st Birthday Party, simple yet nice... well organised babe! Happy birthday once again! She has the same birthday as me.. so co0l rite? After that went shopping abit and headed home soon after... super tired already.
Knocked off very early at around 10 plus.

It is SUCH a hectic weekend!

random takes...

Nicole's guestbook... we did it nicely oh...

Monday is another tired day. Started early at 9am and ends at 6pm. After which, headed to paya lebar with florence.. heehees..

TUESDAY! TODAY!

I am heading to my driving lesson soon... wheee..! so long never drive liao.. getting all my POWER back soon... whahaha!

Not focus

2008-10-11T23:46:00.002+08:00

I am totally not focusing recently.
Being rather emotional lately, i have been drinking my days away.
I drank consecutively for 2 days...
One for dinner with frens and the other during a bdae party...

Drink until my voice gone... erm, think is not becox of the drinking
It might be because of my flu and fever that came b4 that...
Then sorethroat.. and eventually, it got worse..
now dumb... =(

This is so disturbing! I can't even speak properly!
For ppl like me who likes to talk so much,
suddenly have the difficulty making even a SOUND! So sick!

Hais.. celebrate too much after my mid term.. o0ps!
Lost track on my school readings
luckily, not my assignments.
I so0o going to find my focus back and...
get on with my life!

Irene, please FOCUS!

I notice a sudden change

2008-10-09T10:27:00.002+08:00

I notice a sudden change in your attitude towards me.
I am not sure of the reason.

My emotions are stirred,
definitely not in a bad way.

The feeling of disbelief doesnt carry a negative connotation.
In fact, it carries a positive one.
It's just that i find it hard to believe.

What the hell are you thinking?!

I guess i should just stop thinking about you.

Zhi wei says, (while i am blogging)
by the way, i think that zhiwei is really cute~!!!!!! :DDDDD she rocks my world!

Troubled

2008-10-07T21:10:00.003+08:00

I have many things running in my mind right now.
Super troubled. Kinda lost too.
That's why i have decided to blog.

I think i know what i am doing,
but i probably dunno wad i am doing at all too.

oh man...
What should I do?
Chatting on msn all the time doesn't seem real to me at all.
Just like talking to each other in a virtual world.
No one can prove that it is really happening or it has already happened.
Really noONE.
Just like breaking up with your boyfriend on msn/phone.
The act of a coward. It happened to me before,
that's why I dont trust it (msn)anymore.
Not REAL.
At all.

It instilled a sense of disbelief in me.
I know, it should be just a simple affair.
But it turned out to be so complicated when you think too much.
But I cant help it. It is REALLY affecting me.

Picnic at SBG

2008-10-06T23:12:00.003+08:00

Hi ppl!

2008-10-04T23:56:00.002+08:00

Project day and Play day.

2008-09-13T23:48:00.005+08:00

Today is a tiring day.
A sucky day
A happy day.

Various reasons.
Let me talk about why is it a happy day for me.

I went for a play today!
Love's Labour's Lost by william Shakespeare located in SRT.

Nice play!

Planning to go for another one on the 20th Sep week.
I need to write reviews for my module hence the trips made.

However, because of me taking theatre module, i have grown to have more feel about Arts and learnt to appreciate them more!

Even if the module has ended, i will still attend plays as i've alr grown to love it! wo0ts! any art-ty people who also wanna join me? I think i better drag some of my frens with me soon!

Forget about the sucky part. don't even want to mention about it!

Sony walkman Jerry Yan - 我会很爱你

2008-09-11T23:40:00.002+08:00

Hannah! This is for you!

I find this song quite sweet.
So would like to share it with you.

This is only the advertisement. Not the whole MV of the song.

歌词:我会很爱你
歌手:言承旭
初次见面就占据我心中
部署星空只为了你等候
每个角落擦肩而过被缘分捉弄
突然相遇在转角的街头
抬头感动我只想对你说
快乐难过不能错过对你的承诺
我不太浪漫你说很习惯
我的肩膀给你很多安全感
握紧你的手用全力向天空轻轻呐喊
我会很爱很爱你一百个世纪
很爱很爱你没人能代替
未来旅行 Walkman记录着爱情
我的心永远不变
我会很爱很爱你黑夜到黎明
很爱很爱你四季不休息
打开Walkman 随时就能听见你
Feel My Heart 我最爱最爱的你
突然相遇在转角的街头
抬头感动我只想对你说
快乐难过不能错过对你的承诺
我不太浪漫你说很习惯
我的肩膀给你很多安全感
握紧你的手用全力向天空轻轻呐喊
我会很爱你一百个世纪
很爱很爱你没人能代替
未来旅行 Walkman记录着爱情
我的心永远不变
我会很爱你黑夜到黎明
很爱很爱你四季不休息
打开Walkman 随时就能听见你
Feel My Heart 我最爱最爱的你
我会很爱你一百个世纪
很爱很爱你没人能代替
未来旅行 Walkman记录着爱情
我的心永远不变
我会很爱你用我的生命
很爱很爱你你给我勇气
快乐寂寞走到幸福那一头

2008-09-09T00:50:00.003+08:00

Alright...
A weekend has passed..
I feel like I'm going back to my old life PLUS abit more exciting elements~
Those mugging hours I used to spend in the library is happening again! Argh!
Who ask exams are so near now... hais.

But I did something interesting on Saturday.
I went to the Singapore Arts Museum (SAM).
Purpose: To recce for the actual trip on the 19th Sep.
Make sure that everything is fine and it is really free admission every friday 6pm to 9pm.
Thanks MingHao for accompanying me.
I was rather amazed by some of the paintings REALLY!
They are so wonderful and challenging!
If you are free on Friday nights, feel free to take a walk there, be it with your boyfriend or friends. Good experience and its free anyway! =)

Its been a while since my entry last posted a picture.
I should compensate you guys now!

ZhiPing Minghao Jinlong and myself went for a last minute movie outing on Tuesday.
I'm off on that day.
Minghao is on vacation.
Jinlong just booked out.
Zhiping ends her lesson at 6pm.

Conclusion: How about a movie, guys? - Off we go.

Me and zhiping camwhore! woots!

We actually watched a M18 movie - Forgetting Sarah Marshall.(we dun have many choices though)
Its about a guy whose GF dumbed him for another famous rock singer guy.
They ended up on the same island for vacation. Met each other of course.
The whole story is about how the guy eventually get over his ex GF.
Start his brand new life again.

See how happy my face is! hahas! (I took this in sch)

Nice and funny movie.
You should know where the funny parts are.
Haha!

This is a pic i edited for her. Cox the original pic is too orangey.

Lastly, I shall end my post with an artistic picture of myself!
Nice? weird? Tell me!

sudden gush of sadness

2008-09-07T03:23:00.003+08:00

A sudden gush of sadness came over me when i went to friendster today...

I just could not help it when I saw what I've saw...

It's been almost a month.
I can say that the past month has been the most difficult month to endure in my life.
I'm faced with so many troubles - new life, going back to my single life. It's just to much to handle at that point of time.

Sometimes I will wonder if you are happy right now.
But I know that it is totally unnecessary.

But still, hope that this is the life you wanna live. Take care.

Botox kills?

2008-09-05T01:34:00.002+08:00

You guys know wad...

One of my module: Microbes which changed human history
is an interesting module talking about viruses like HIV and bacteria.. and some diseases which stays around us since history.

I have learnt that BOTOX (yes, BOTOX!) is done by using one of the toxins (Botulinum Toxin)found in bacteria which can cause a severe disease called Botulism.

The most important symptom of Botulism is PARALYSIS. It hinders the nervous system and hence muscles are not able to receive any contraction signals. Hence, patients' body with Botulism disease are wobbly (like jelly).

Imagine it.

No muscles contraction at all. You spine will collapse.

That's why... ppl injected it into parts of their faces to prevent wrinkles.

Does it boils down to a 'paralysed face'?

Yes?

Haha!

Then i found this article on the net.

Oh my!

European agency warns of possible Botox side effects

The price to pay for beauty.

SEP ---> my target!

2008-09-04T23:01:00.002+08:00

Was doing my Japanese Studies project...
then instead of having a Kit-Kat for my break,
I have decided to blog abit...

My school had this "Ask About Exchange" event in the central forum the whole day today. The purpose of this event is to let us know more about the Students Exchange Programme (SEP) such as the Financial aids that are available, procedures that you have to go through, pre requisites of course! also to answer our queries and doubts about SEP.

I dun have many questions about it though, so i just take the goodie bag and read the contents. ( I wanna see the average spendings that you have to cover for yourself for each different countries!)

Cox I have done my hmwrk before I enter school as I have always been very interested in going overseas, be it Exchange or Field trips... =) I die die must get out of Singapore to see the world once before I graduate.

I already have some countries in mind, but of course, have to see wad is my future major. =) It does affect the countries/universities that I am able to go.

First and foremost, I NEED to save enough money first. Also score well enough to apply for NASA Award to lighten my burden and also to qualify for SEP!

Hence, my pending targets of the year:

> Class 3 license (Practical Test date: 20 Nov 08)
> Good grades
> SEP (Do well for exams which are coming soon - Nov/Dec)

It's good to have goals in your life. Otherwise you will just be wandering aimlessly.

I have no idea how I will fare for my upcoming examinations. Really hope that everything will go well SMOOTHLY! =)

Worse come to worse if I can't get my SEP, I will strive for it next sem or go for field trip instead.. hahas...

I have my ambitions too!

Jia you Irene!

Feeling the stress...

2008-08-31T23:11:00.004+08:00

Personal tots:

Another setback will not crush my beautiful dream.

緣分

2008-08-28T21:18:00.003+08:00

電影 ' 不見不散 ' 的主題歌這樣唱道：

" 這世界說大就大，說小就小。
就算是我們今生的約定，也要用一生去尋找..."

緣分這東西不可強求。該你的，早晚是你的。
不該你的，怎麼努力，也得不到。

但無論任何時候，我們都不要絕望。
不要放棄自己對真，善，美的愛情追求。

So cute n funny!

2008-08-27T21:50:00.002+08:00

Hais! Tell you something...
I wonder why my mum suddenly so concern about my market value.
As in how many suitors do I have.
She kept asking me if I have any.
I always reply, 'nope lah! crazy, who wants me?'
(but now really dun have.... >.<)

Sadness seize me when she throw me that question.
Why don't she ask earlier or even later, why now? when i just broke up with him?
The empitness inside my heart is like.... cant be described.
Now I have to fill it up again MYSELF.
I am still injured.

She is like so enthu now.. Say want to buy a hair dye for me to change my current hair color. Cox she says this hair color dun usually leave a good impression in others. Hence she wan to cover the color for me.

She mentioned about it earlier and I thought she was just joking or wad.
Now that she brought it up again...
I guess she meant it.

We will see if she really means it.

Stay tuned on my hair color.

P.S: Anyway, color also not nice liao, the dark brown color is coming out! argh!

Jokes for laugh

2008-08-25T02:03:00.002+08:00

Heys! Here's a joke about marriage to share with you.
It's purpose is not to discourage u from marriage alright?
Just to perk u up only okays?

Marriage is not a word. It is a sentence--a life sentence.

Marriage is very much like a violin; after the sweet music is over, the strings are attached.

Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore, marriage is an institution for the blind.

Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor's Degree and the woman gets her Masters.

Marriage is a thing which puts a ring on a woman's finger and two under the man's eyes.

Marriage certificate is just another word for a work permit.

Marriage is not just a having a wife, but also worries inherited forever.

Marriage requires a man to prepare 4 types of "rings":
* The Engagement Ring
* The Wedding Ring
* The Suffe-Ring
* The Endu-Ring

Hahas! For me, I dun regard marriage as a LIFE sentence.
Marriage is something so special and sweet, a ritual specially made for the two of you.

HALF OF A LOVE SONG

2008-08-22T01:51:00.003+08:00

I love this song!
It's...

Half of a Love Song - Shorty Yuen

Flower accepts withering
Wind accepts searching
My heart still hold some injuiries
I accept your decision

Who will hold you tight
What song will you sing to make her happy
I wonder when the sky will turn sunny
Earth never stops for anyone

How happy your are tomorrow has nothing to do with me
Our love is a song half sung
Time changes the habit
Heals the wound
And cancels my qualification to think of you

Your blessing is half sweet, half bitter
Like the cocoa that turns cold in my hand
The most, most regretful is always the unfinished
The song I could only sing half

Whether I'm happy tomorrow only concerns me
Our love is a song half sung
Time changes the habit
Heals the wound
And cancels my qualification to think of you

Your blessing is half sweet, half bitter
Like the cocoa that turns cold in my hand
The most, most regretful is always the unfinished
Other half of the song

However, I still find the chinese version more meaningful.

半情歌 - 元若藍

花接受凋零
風接受追尋
心的傷還有一些不要緊
我接受你的決定

你將會被誰抱緊
唱什麼歌哄他開心
我想著天空什麼時候會放晴
地球不曾為誰停一停

你的明天有多快樂不是我的
我們的愛是唱一半的歌
時間把習慣換了
傷口癒合
也撤銷我再想你的資格

你的祝福一半甜的一半苦的
像我手中冷掉的可可
最最教人殘念的總是未完成的
我只能唱著一半的歌

我的明天快不快樂都是我的
我們的愛是唱一半的歌
時間把習慣換了
傷口癒合
也撤銷我再想你的資格

你的祝福一半甜的一半苦的
像我手中冷掉的可可
最最教人殘念的總是未完成的
另一半的歌
