Tuesday, January 27, 2009 @ come talk beauty!
it's a bit overdue but who cares anyway.
and well whether it is a success or not i am simply happy and relieved that
's 1st event is finally over! in fact this event went pretty much smoothly with little hiccups (except perhaps at the beginning and at the end where there was quite a lot of questions asked during the QnA session). at least 1 major event down, 5 more to go before we step down! =)
it's the 2nd day of chinese new year. nothing much i guess, basically the same as previous years. except that once you hit the big 21, the adults consider you as an adult, and then you start to engage in adult activities. that's not very bad i think, considering that i get to hear more gossips pertaining to my family. today i had like 2 hrs of story-listening session at my 大姑's house. apparently the ramblings have not ended. will probably listen to it with my cousins again next year. and i guess by that time there will be even more stories to hear.. haha!
school's starting tmr. and i feel like typing "it's times like this that i totally regret putting a free day and squeezing my 6 mods into the other 4 days. " all over again. OH I JUST DID. DAMN! i wonder why do i have to keep going back to school when it's my free day. sighs.Labels: family, fun, rants
Saturday, January 24, 2009 @ let's have a simple maths question
you are about to give tuition to a primary 3 girl, teaching her 1 subject, let's say maths. your intended schedule is 1.5 hrs per session, 4 sessions per month. her mother wants the tuition to be charged at $60/month. how much does this equate to per hour?
a) $10
b) $10
c) $10
d) i am freaking doing charity work if i take up the tuition lobang!
ans: d)

it's times like this that i totally regret putting a free day and squeezing my 6 mods into the other 4 days. i had welfare duty which unofficially started from 8am since we had to move the books out of the clubroom. not that i am complaining, but i realised that 12 hours ago i was still in school. and 12 hours later i am back in school.. after deducting 3 hrs that i took to travel to and fro school, i only had around 9 hrs to rest, sleep, eat, watch tv.. argh. where got enough time? if only i spread out my timetable, then i probably wld have more breaks everyday which means i can commit less time for duty per day, instead of 1 shot complete 3 hrs. so my duty ended at 2, and my free day officially started at around 3.30pm after i reached home. this is how sad. there just goes my free day.
i am sorry but i really have to rant. my level of sanity will be kinda screwed if i dont blog this out.
on a sidenote, i realised that singaporeans are getting more and more skilful and 'choping' seats, be it at hawker centres or at canteens. it's a norm for us to see tables 'choped' by tissue paper/umbrellas/bags, etc. but check what i saw:


using cards and coins to chope seats? in NUS science canteen? wow these guys are really great! i wonder what new ways that they can think of to chope seats in the future.. lol

Tuesday, January 20, 2009 @ 阿桑 - 一直很安静
空荡的街景
想找个人放感情
作这种决定
是寂寞与我为邻
我们的爱情
像你路过的风景
一直在进行
脚步却从来不会为我而停
给你的爱一直很安静
来交换你偶尔给的关心
明明是三个人的电影
我却始终不能有姓名
你说爱像云要
自在飘浮才美丽
我终于相信
分手的理由有时候很动听
你的爱一直很安静
我从一开始就下定决心
以为自己要的是曾经
却发现爱一定要有回应
给你的爱一直很安静
除了泪在我的脸上任性
原来缘分是用来说明
你突然不爱我这件事情
nice song. go and listen to it! i think i have uploaded the lyrics before.. but i cant find the post. owell!

Monday, January 19, 2009 @ eugene 0 - 1 hp inkjet printer
i just got owned by my printer... was printing LSM notes halfway when the paper suddenly jammed. and i took 30 min to solve the problem. just as i thought the notes will be swee swee, the printer just had to have problem printing the notes in the correct order! KNS
on a more personal note, i guess my life's full of more question marks. questions that are left unanswered, questions that are left dangling in midair and waiting for me to tackle them myself. i told myself that this year i am going to be a better person no matter what, to be more tactful in my speech and actions, and to offend less pple. i guess these questions are part of growing up to be a better person, to fulfill my resolution. i need to learn from these mistakes!
come talk beauty! is on thursday.. after that
is having pizza! whee =D and there's this guanyue reunion dinner on friday.. haha!! looking forward to it. tmr's yet another long day. 8 to 8. luckily jem's there to drive me home. i thought i could have wednesday all to myself. but i still have welfare duty, shucks! guess the weekend's the only thing that i can look forward to. and then there is CNY! which makes next week a 2-day week =DLabels: friends, random, university

Wednesday, January 14, 2009 @ life and death
天地之间只隔一线,生死之间也是如此。
人生短短几十载,为何断送前途,自寻短见?
看到人人在窘境中逆境求存,为了只是要活下去,我为今天所发生的感到惋惜。
所谓一失足成千古恨,我们不应拿生命来开玩笑,
毕竟人生只活一次,我们更应该要自爱,要爱惜生命。
我只想说,那一幕一直烙印在我脑海里;我想对你说:安息吧。

Sunday, January 11, 2009 @ 1st to bata, then to school.
note to self:
to-do things for 12 Jan 2009:
1. approach megabites boss to see if we can borrow high stool from megabites for beauty talk
2. to get back watch from
3. to print lecture notes in library
4. to bid for GEK1543
all in that measly 2 hour. omg school is getting busy!
sidenote: my timetable sucks, if i succesfully bid for 6 modules. 6 mods in 4 days woohoo! goodness gracious. it seems that in my best combination i am only getting 5-hr breaks out of my 34-hr work week in school. not enough breaks! i think i might not even have the chance to have duty hurhur. (ziping you better dont see this)
my only concern is regarding the attendance for the beauty talk. i hope that everything turns out well. the publicity is not out yet! gasps. i need to start praying..Labels: random, rants, university

Sunday, January 04, 2009 @ my hair is turning green!
damn i shouldn't have highlighted my hair blue. now that the blue is fading my hair's turning green. looks like some xmas tree now. gahh. shall go and cut my hair/dye it black/wait for the the blue to fade or something. otherwise i look pretty freaky.
anyway, this was a pretty last minute thing; i received a pm from owsongsim while i was bathing that there was alumnico prac last sat. so i decided to just go there and take a look at the juniors with enoch (at least i wasnt alone). and chinese high changed so much! now there's this another statue outside kongchian hall. and kongchian hall is now the admin area, no more ep3 block. things really change so much. and now that there are 2 statues, there are bound to be ghost stories that will involve both tkk and lkc... probably tkk asking lkc what time it is in hokkien cus tkk didnt bring watch or something.. ha!
the practice was ok. i was there for only 1 hr, didnt have the intention to play anyway. and i didnt really see much from our batch. cant be helped. everyone's everywhere all over the world, in UK and US. only a few of us left in singapore. the main bulk's the 06 and 07 batch. after prac, wait for the exco after they had some meeting with the alumni. then we went over to eason and karlheng to look for sponsors.
it has certainly been a while since i have gotten so close to chinese music. the concert sounds intersting. it's a pity that i know i cant commit fully. i hope that there's a chuida item, which seems like the only item that i can actually participate in.. hai.

Thursday, January 01, 2009 @ 300th post!
welcome to 2009. i certainly hope that this will be a good year ahead, though the reports say that the economic slowdown is going to be continue. oh mannnn
anyway, spent the last day of 2008 shopping with cj. we went alot of places and shopped for quite a while. around 6 hrs i think. from bugis to penisular plaza to funan then to marina square. i think the most rewarding area will be bugis. i got 3 tops and 2 shorts! at least i have something decent to wear to school soon.
after shopping went to meet up with parents and had steamboat for dinner as part of mom's bday celebrations. this is the 2nd time eating steamboat in 4 days, the 1st being 64's gathering at yimin's house where we had stemboat also with gtan! anyway, steamboat was good. it's at goldenmile there. abit ex.. 40 bucks for 4 pple, but it's worth the price! the food's good (:
so, 2009 is here. my bro's going school tmr, which means that i have the entire laptop to myself from tmr onwards until i start school too. haha gonna watch the shows that i couldnt watch in the hols cus my bro is around! harold and kumar here i come :D
oh ya there's bidding. bidding sucks!
