Who's that?!?

Oh my oh my... Gen's such a POSER...

Poser (noun)
1. a person who habitually pretends to be something he is not
2. a person who poses for a photographer or painter or sculptor; "the president didn't have time to be a model so the artist worked from photos"

The photographer was damn good lorrr!!

But of course, the model looks great in the place.

Ha!

Happy Birthday Gen

Check the Photos Out!

And here's my favourite photo...

TEAM EDB RAWKS !!!

When will the day come when...

.... I have so much cash in my wallet!!!

Do not doubt, my friends. They are REAL. Yes, all 150 of them.

And they are MINE. MINE MINE MINE.

*THUNDEROUS DEVILISH LAUGHTER*

Yar right. In my dreams probably.

Or maybe if i decide to grab the chopper from the kitchen and flash it at the bank teller tomorrow - well.. I may not even get to see them before 10 police officers pounce on me and scream "YOU ARE UNDER ARRESTTTTT, YOUNG LADY"

Fine, I prefer the Scenario 1 then.

My eyes refused to blink when my friend showed me this photo he took last week. Have you ever seen so much cash in your entire life before?!? Don't count CPF please, they are just numbers on the annual statements until you cash them out at 55. Well, at least i havent.

Apparently the money was for 3 return air tickets to Europe plus 3 rail passes. So technically, those notes were from three persons. Chey, so my friend isn't as rich as I had thought he is. *totally disappointed* But that's not the main point! Itz alot of much money, you knowwwwww!!!!!

I think I'll be so excited yet paranoid about everyone on the streets if i'm made to carry them to the travel agency or the money changer. I'll just hyperventilate and drop dead.

Then someone will come rob me during my blackout.

Then I'll be sent to the hospital for resuscitation.

Then I'll wake up only to find out that someone took my money away.

Then I'll hyperventilate.

Then i faint again!!!

OK STOP! Gen, what has the hols done to your brain?!? Too free or what... *Everyone stares at Gen with a 'duh' face *

But seriously, that made me wonder why money changers do not accept nets or credit card. Or probably they do, I dunno...

Any idea?

I'm Back!

What? I have a blog??

Ohhhh yarrrr, I do have a blog....

*Gen swiftly runs under her table and hides in the drawer*

My apologies, ladies and gentlemen. I realised the last post i had was like *Gasp!* Eons ago?!? Goodness, and how naive I was to think that I was fully prepared for the crazy semester with that 12 pathetic cans of coffee and the 50 tiny sachets of coffee mix.

What were you thinking, Gen? 5 years in NUS and still underestimate the evil sleep-inducing power of NUS lectures, seminars and the wadahellaretheytalkingabout notes...

Anyways, I'm back folks! Half alive, thanks to the 2 horrendous papers plus FYP. But nonetheless, I'm back. Okok, I'll try to revive my blog soon. However, do give me some time, yar? That's cos I'm pretty busy these few days.... Busy with sleeping, busy with watching my DVD drama serials and busy with shopping for new clothes. Busy Busy like a little Bee !

Yes yes, roll your eyes as much as you want. I'm still going to sleep, watch DVDs and shop until i drop dead. Ha!

OK, i know, this post is not getting anywhere. Will post up something more coherent next time round. Off to sleep now...

Do Not Disturb

Stocking up for New Semester

in Progress.....

2007

On the 31st December of every year, i tend to get into a contemplative kind of mood. It is of no wonder of course, since today is a very special day- a day that lets us look at what we've done throughout the past year, a day that makes us rethink about our goals and dreams in our lives right now , a day that makes us look into the upcoming year and prepare ourselves mentally for new challenges.

2007 had been an exciting year for me. It was my first full year spent in Singapore after I came back from Germany. Many events happened. Joyous ones, heartwarming ones, exciting ones.

My everdearest PrettySis got married.
I passed my PPCDL (Powerboat license)
Went for Lasik.
Represented my cohort to make a speech.
Joined Toastmasters and made many speeches thereafter
Completed Virtual Cop 3
Friends from Germany came to visit me in SG
and many many more...

All of them have formed happy memories in me. And they are the ones that lift my spirits whenever i feel sad/discouraged in the new year. This method never fail cos it reminds me that life is beautiful...... *birds chirping~~*

Of course, 2007 has her fair share of unhappiness and disappointments too. Some might even continue in the new 2008. But let's face it, Life IS a bed of roses - thorns are everywhere, and a wrong step might get you hurt. A wrong decision in life will have its consequences. Big ones, small one. But what really matters is we learn from these mistakes. Wounds heal over time, just like humans adapt to adversity in life. Courage and confidence will guide us through tough times. The question is : Do you want to take them in the first place?

Oh, please don't get me wrong, I am really happy about 2007. I had an enriching life during the past 364 days, learnt many things, in terms of skills (PPCDL and public speaking) and life lessons. I am grateful that everything happened the way it was. =)

Looking forward, 2008 is going to be packed with different kinds of challenges. I will be joining the workforce and start my 8.30-6.30pm life. I will end up being like my working friends who having been counting down to public holidays and weekends. Many unknowns will unveil as the new year unfolds herself. But there's one thing that I am sure of -

I will still be GenDaBestest in 2008.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS!
SEE YOU IN 2008!

p/s: I'm trying to fake some confidence and arrogance over here, btw... Gen is a humble girl hor. =)
