Just the other day, Ming commented he wanted to go to Wala's this coming Sunday. Just for a little chill out session. EIC was going to play apparently. I'm all for it, after all, I haven't yet had a chance to hear them. Given their popularity, that's just perposterous! Lol. Kang Wei also mentioned that she wanted to go Timbre 2 as well... to chill out, coz she likes the ambience and music there. Yeah well, I do like the place too. I do enjoy both places in fact.
But I guess I'm just missing Reverie's music. Haha... guess I'm getting a little too spoilt, having heard their music once too often this semester. I guess the missing is made worse by the fact that I'm not able to go listen anytime in the near future. *shrugs* I'll just have to make do with other bands I suppose.
Have a test later today. 4 to 6 pm. Awful timing. But oh well, that's the lecture time slot. Thank God I don't have any exams in the evening this semester. Anyway, following the test I have to go for rehearsal - for my TS practical. Heh. Feeling so sleeeeeeepy. Hope I can act properly today. Zzzzz.. heh.
All right. I better get ready to go school now.

Stressed and Confused
Well, who wouldn't be? Stressed that is... exams are drawing near again. I feel rather ill-prepared, though much better than the previous semesters I suppose. The most stressing thing now is the TS1101E practical exam. We have only 2 weeks to prepare before the exam! They gave us the texts list really late. There's still the costumes, sets, memorizing of lines, interpreting the text to think of. I really do want to scrap that A for this module. It has the most potential after all. Well, that and psych stats I suppose. These are the 2 modules I really must get that elusive A grade.
As for confused... I don't really know how to explain it here. Only God knows how I really think and feel about this I suppose. Friendships can be such delicate matters.
I'm hungry! Craving for french fries at Macs. Perhaps I should just take a leisurely walk over and get some. I've got about an hour before tutorial starts. Heh. I don't really think it matters if I'm slightly late anyway. Not in the best of moods these days. As much as I do try not to show it. Ha.
Can't wait for the weekend. For once the week is passing by so slowly for me. I guess it's because I've had an opportunity to start thinking about things. And I don't want it. I rather everything just pass me by. I want my sat and sundays. Go to church and sing songs of praise. It always makes me feel so much better. I wish I had my bible with me now. I could do with a bit of quiet time. Perhaps tonight...

The first week being in the time of the Big TWO
If you haven't already guessed from the title, yeah I'm finally 20. About 10 days ago in fact. Heh. The birthday surprises were well-appreciated. Before I go on to more mood-dampening issues, let me recount the little delightful moments during the bday period.
On thursday night 11oct, I had dinner with Nips and Amri. They treated me to dinner at New York New York at City Link. It was a splendid meal! Really stuffed me up. Had pork ribs (it was so huge I barely managed 3/4 of it) and then a wonderful steaming glass of hot chocolate. I really must recommend the hot chocolate there! It's simply sensational! Totally warped my senses. Got the one with caramel. Ooooh... how superbly sweet. I'm an absolute sweet-tooth. What can I say? =p Anyway, after that we headed to timbre at the substation. On the way there we had to cross this traffic light. Well, I rushed the few seconds before the red man light came on, but Nips and Amri didn't. So I was waiting at the other end for them to cross. Ahem, while I was waiting, there was this REALLY weird guy beside me. I could see him in my peripheral version. He was pointing this water gun at me and making 'bang bang' noises! Oh gosh, I was a little nervous really. Who knows he might splash water on me! When he finally pointed the gun in my face directly, I couldn't ignore it anymore. Gave him this death glare, which he cheekily overlooked and simply said 'hi!' before crossing the road as the green man came on. His friend then came over to me and asked me to take this tweety bird soft toy! Despite my insistent attempts at refusing, he was more persistent in asking me to take it. Gosh, to make him leave, I just took it. Haha... I was paranoid though. Shook the toy a few times to make sure there were no hidden cameras or something.
Anyway we headed to timbre also for the purpose of supporting a few friends of ours who were having an unplugged session there - Surath and Shane. Lol. Rachel joined us about half an hour later. She was so cute! She didn't manage to get a present for me (she wanted to go to a florist to get flowers for me but it was too late) so she walked over to the edge of fort canning park and plucked a tiger lily for me! Lol. Talk about illegal. Heh. But it was a really beautiful flower. (The best part was that the 4 or 5 days following that, the remaining 4 buds actually bloomed!! ) The realy surprise of the night came at exactly 12 midnight. This part I really did not expect. Suddenly Surath said on stage, 'My friend here just turned 20 tonight...' Can't really remember the exact words but the staff brought out a cake and Surath and Shane went on to sing a Jazzed-up version of Happy birthday. I was soooo touched! Surath gave me this J Lo. perfume that I had wanted. Gosh so ex man. And he actually made a card! Awww. I do love receiving cards. I think they are always the best presents to receive, that is of course, those with heartfelt meaningful personal messages inside.
A wonderful way to turn 20 I must say. =)
On my big day itself, my family had a steak dinner, cooked by my wonderful dad! Jingyun and Jingzhong came over as well. Heh. A lovely cousin get-together after months of hard work in uni and a lvls (the boys are hard at it for it. lol). I sent them home after that, with the promise from Jingyun that I would meet her the next day to go timbre again. Haha. Surath and his band was going to play there again, this time as a full band as opposed to the small accoustic one on thurs.
On sat... my church family celebrated it with me too! Got me a delicious mango cake. Hehe. Such sweet people. Xintian gave me a Nike bag, shared with Esther and Kim Ong. Awww.
Then came timbre night. Picked Jingyun up from Douby Ghaut. How lovely to drive! :) Putra and his girlfriend came too! Oooh his gf is really very pretty and sweet! She came over to Singapore to visit him from her uni in KL. Had a week long break. He had done the same during our week break. Lol. Her English isn't too good though. We were trying very hard to get her to speak more in English. Her shyness made it more difficult. Lol. After the gig, Jingyun came to stay over at my place. Hehe.. chatted for a long while before we drifted off to sleep.
Sigh... such a wonderful weekend.
I guess it comes to no big surprise to anyone that being older does allow you more confidences from your parents. My parents have been telling me bits here and there about problems regarding the companies or little successes here and there. Some were really worrying. Well, all I can say now is that I'm glad I'm a lot more independent now. And I'm truly thankful to God that my uni fees do not burden my parents. And I have not gotten any allowances since April this year, made possible by opportunities given by my shifu. Haha. All in all, I do believe I've had a blessed life. Wonderful supportive parents who trust me (otherwise they wouldn't lend me their car... hehe), a great bro who simply is the best bro in the world! Heh. And extraordinary friends.
Speaking of friends, Akbar went through quite a bit of embarrassment to get me my gift. Heh. So funny...but I shall not relate it here.
I do so love HFC peeps! Gosh I do thank God for JJ and xintian who have gotten me there. One of the most blessed turn of events in my 20 years. Made wonderful friends like Sherwin, Jon, Jo, Linda, Daniel, Anisia...renewed old friendships with Shu, Mich and Serene... Life is Good!! With God at its centre, LIFE SIMPLY ROCKS!

A break? Not!
It's finally the recess week! For those who don't know what I'm talking about, it means the one week break during the middle of the semester. It's otherwise known as term break I suppose. Anyway, it's hardly a break for me coz I have 3 tests to study for and 3 assignments to finish up... all due next week. Bleah. But oh well... I guess it's not too bad becoz I've been rather consistent with my studying this semester, and for the assignments, I more or less have a rough idea how to do them. So all in all, not that bad... I just gotta get my lazy ass moving!
I suppose I've been exhausting myself. Fell sick the day before term break. lol. Just in time too! Now that I've (more or less) rested the weekend away, it pains me to get started again! Wahahaha. Laziness is innate in me. =p But I've finally gotten the fruits of my labour! That is, for my work (not studies, mind you). A nice hefty 2.3k! But then, 500 bucks went into CPF, so I guess I'm left with 1.8k. Not too bad either. But I'm not about to spend it all up like that! No no, it's to last me till... well as long as possible. Won't be working anymore after september. Perhaps I'll get some sort of part time job during the Dec hols. Hopefully there'll be some jobs on the facil side. HAven't done those in months! Been too busy with other work.
Anyway, I'm here in the library now. My dear friend Gerald Pang stood me up! Lol. He's supposed to study with me...now that I'm here, I've just gotten a nice message from him saying he can't make it coz he's got errands to run. Tsktsk. Oh well. Just as well I supposed. At least I'm out of the house. Nothing else to do but study.... and go online of course. *grins*
All right. I guess I better get back to work. There isn't much going on in my life right now. Actually it suits me really fine. None of the bothersome relationship problems that some of my friends are having right now. My life revolves around God, my family, my friends and me. It suits me PERFECT. =)

Satisfaction!
I'm happy today! I have once again found the reason why is it that I really want to be a teacher. =) Let me tell you why.
I was just about to end tuition today when my kid asked me a couple of questions. So needless to say, I extended tuition to try to understand what he was asking me, and in turn trying to answer his question. Anyway, about 20min later the mum came out, asking if the boy was taking up too much of my time since I normally had to rush off on Mondays. I assured her that it was ok, and we were just finishing up anyway. After concluding the lesson, the mum talked to me a bit. I told her I was glad Rayson was finally opening up and asking me questions. What she said next really made my heart soar. She said that this is the first time she's seen him open up so much in tuition. He's normally very quiet during such lessons. And also, Rayson asked her why was it so late into the year that he finally got a good teacher. OMG!! I'm super touched!! Felt so good about myself the whole way back.
Admittedly it can be quite trying to teach him cause there are many times where I have to keep repeating myself. And the questions he asked weren't always immediately comprehensible. Had to clarify about a hundred times before finally answering it. Lol. But I guess it's all worth it in the end. =)
Though I might find myself complaining whenever I have to work...whenever I have to go teach tuition... I guess when it comes to it, I do still put in my best. The result makes it all worthwhile....

Bye Dale
One of my hamsters just died. Yea I know hamsters have short lifespans and all but it doesn't stop one forming an attachment in that few short years. Dale (yes, he has a brother called Chip) died from a tumour that started growing about half a year after one of his hind legs got amputated. He broke it, so I brought him to the vet which cost me 164 bucks. Lol. The most expensive hamster. Regretted bringing him to the vet though. Chip broke his leg as well but I didn't bring him to the vet... and his leg didn't get infected... but Dale's did. Which was probably why the lump formed. Sigh. Chip seems so forlorn and all. He's getting old as well. Getting skinnier by the week. Where previously all you felt was fats, now you can feel the little ribs when you pick him up. :S
Why do hamsters have such short lifespans?
Anyway.
One school week is finally over. Have tuition to teach later though. Argh. It's tiring to work and study at the same time. Can't wait for all my jobs to be done. The research work and tuition should totally completed by end of Sept. I HOPE. Lol. Not sure if one of the research work extends to having blood tests as well. IF so, then it'll be extended through October. Argh. Money's good but still... I guess there are some times more important.
Can't wait to go to church tmr. Heh. Before church there's gonna be rehearsal for the worship band competition my youth group is participating in. lol. Hope it goes well.

tired
Man am I starting to feel drained out. That's why I'm so glad it's the weekend again! I try my best not to put any other activities during my weekends (unless I really can't help it... like PAC... lol), because it's my time with God! Sat afternoon's my church service and I've got cell group every other Sunday. I do so look forward to every session! Look forward to sharing, look forward to worship, look forward to listening the Word of God! *beams*
This week was supposed to be a really tiring week for me... except that God has granted me rest. =) Firstly, one of the teachers I was working with for one of my research assistant jobs told me that work for this week has been cancelled due to the p6 prelims (otherwise it'll be 7.30 to 10am every morning). Then I chose not to go for dance lesson after a long day on monday (working at shuqun doing research and then rushing for tuition). Next Wed darling Kim took over my tuition for me cause I fell sick and didn't wanna pass it to my kid as he was having his prelims this week. So yeah, I've been given a great reprieve.
Despite the fact that I will lose quite a bit of earnings...but money isn't everything. God will provide a way. I've worked enough to sustain myself for a while. Furthermore, studies are a lot more important to me... especially for this semester. I've been studying quite a bit. Haven't been sleeping a lot... so I guess it's no wonder I've been falling ill. Hhaha...
Anyway, I'm so glad he's back. Gives me a feeling of comfort somehow. We don't really talk as much as we used to... but then I guess coz there's an understanding between us now. I'm busy and so's he. We give each other a lot of space... doing our own thing. But I must admit it never fails to delight me whenever I receive a message or a call from him, regardless of the hour of the day. Lol. Meetings are rare yet sweet too. Chilling out. Watching TV and listening to music. Talking. There aren't many guys who are as deep as he is. Listening to Diana Krall. Tuning in to BBC on the car radio. Lol. We both enjoy Corrinne May. And he's sincere. Regardless of all his straightforward-ness and sarcasm...he IS sincere. Well, he's simply really fun to hang out with. Haha, and despite all the teasings, I know he respects me a lot. And that means a lot to me.
It does.

feeling annoyed...
I don't know why but I'm feeling really irritated with a lot of things right now. Don't particularly understand it myself. Just finished hanging out with Surath, Nips and some other friends at this pub in NShometeam JOM. Surath had an unplugged solo performance there... for every wednesday night since last week. Well, the idea is really just to chill... and for today, Surath had requested that I sing with him... one duet - Rest your love on me, and one solo - Heaven... both of which he would be playing the guitar of coz.
Needless to say, it was a horrible experience... I totally embarrassed myself to no end. I sang like sheet. Really. Totally blanked out for Heaven. Couldn't remember a single word to the song...and Surath repeated the intro so many times. Now when people ask me what's my most embarrassing situation... I know what to say. So we just sang the duet... which wasn't anywhere close to fantastic either. Sigh. Who am I kidding.
But those are not what's making me annoyed. I don't really know how to express myself properly. Basically I was just annoyed at a few individuals...tell me why must someone just ruin the mood of everyone else just because he's discontented about something... can't you try to make things easier for your friends? Honestly it's just so childish. And another thing, WHY must people smoke. Why. Why. Why?!? Arghx. I'm not gonna say anything else here but ARGH... it's so pissing me off. I just feel so disappointed in this particular friend of mine. Sigh whatever.

A Restful weekend
Hmmm... I haven't really had much physical rest, but I can still honestly say I feel rested. Rested spiritually that is. =) I've had an awesome time in church yesterday, and another beautiful day in cell group today. I don't know how to tell you how blessed I feel. Now that I've found this family in His Family Centre, I cannot imagine life without them. I've grown so much more as a christian. Now I'm beginning to start bringing God into the picture into everything I do. No longer am I just a christian in name. Never thought I was before... now I understand how I really was. Well, I've sinned many times...over and over... but isn't it amazing how God can always find it in his heart to forgive us all? So long we have faith and believe in him. "How many times will you pick me up, when I keep letting you down?" A song from Grace by Silder... a most lovely song. If you want to listen to it, just ask me and I'll send it to you.
Anyway, I sang backup in church yesterday. Sang it once before... and it had been a horrible experience for me. I felt it was one of the worst I ever sang. So I was quite hesitant when Daniel asked me to back him up this time. But earlier yesterday, Shumin had talked to me... how singing in church is FOR GOD...not for Man... so why should I worry how badly I sing? God loves me no matter what. He gave me my voice; he'll be glad that I've used to it praise his name. So yeah... I decided to sing...inwardly asking God for guidance. And well, not to sound boastful or anything... but even I was amazed at myself. I reached notes that I never thought I could. Haha. And I suppose the one person whose praise mattered to me the most really struck it deep in me. Haha. Xintian said she was blown away. Haha... she never ever said it to me before. Even Sherwin jokingly called me his ouxiang. Lol! I don't know man... I just felt so happy singing yesterday that I didn't really think about whether I could sing a particular note or not...or whatever. Haha.. Praise God! Then today pastor asked Daniel to put me into the schedule to lead worship one of these days. WHATTTTTTTT... haha. nono... I might be able to sing but I'm not ready to lead worship yet. Haha...
One of the things I learned in cell today was that God speaks to us each individually and in a unique manner to everyone. That it need not necessarily be in a dramatic fashion. God can speak to us in the simplest manner... through a song... through an email...through a conversation with a friend. You'll just know it's God. Don't ask me how... you'll just know. You just have to keep an open mind and believe...and have faith.
I feel so tired... and so happy! I wanna go singggggggggggggg!!
Anyway, I sang backup in church yesterday. Sang it once before... and it had been a horrible experience for me. I felt it was one of the worst I ever sang. So I was quite hesitant when Daniel asked me to back him up this time. But earlier yesterday, Shumin had talked to me... how singing in church is FOR GOD...not for Man... so why should I worry how badly I sing? God loves me no matter what. He gave me my voice; he'll be glad that I've used to it praise his name. So yeah... I decided to sing...inwardly asking God for guidance. And well, not to sound boastful or anything... but even I was amazed at myself. I reached notes that I never thought I could. Haha. And I suppose the one person whose praise mattered to me the most really struck it deep in me. Haha. Xintian said she was blown away. Haha... she never ever said it to me before.

Welcome back Beck!
Haha, haven't beeen updating for a long time. Didn't know anyone still read my blog... but oh well, since someone requested an update, here goes...
The holidays is well coming to an end. Most people would moan and groan at the prospect of school starting again...but not me I guess. I can't wait for school to begin. It'll keep me busy. I can't wait for another chance to prove myself... to show that I can do better than what pathetic grades I have now. And really, I do believe I can.
Can't wait for this friday... Corrinne May's concert! I absolutely love her! I think she's really awesome. Her genre of songs are so my type of thing, and she wrote them all herself! Fantastic lady. My current fav is 'same side of the moon'. My fav song of hers keep changing. Can't help it, they're all so good! Well but this current fav song...there's a reason behind it.
2 whole months. Well I can take it. Heh. Just gotta keep myself busy. Thank goodness for work, trainings and friends... and God. He's really a constant source of comfort for me now. Praying always leave me with a sense of serenity. I don't know what God has planned for me, but His will is my path. I hope I won't go astray...again.
Well I've got the car till sat. Mum and Dad left for Hanoi this morning. Perks of having a car...plus the cons. Haha. I've got to send my bro to the hospital later. He needs to remove his stitches. Hope I will finish in time to come for training at 5pm. Haha I haven't really been training.
All right. Lazy to type already. Back to slacking.

Bridge to Terabithia
Yep it's finally the holidays. Been so busy having fun and working that I've neglected my blog. Either that or I'm just too lazy. Heh. Too many things to do online as well.
Anyway I've recently watched Bridge to Terabithia. It's really an awesome movie. You should watch it. Unless of coz you have absolutely no sense of sentimentality and cannot feel the meaning of emotion and imagination. Haha. How bitchy of me. But I do think it's a movie worth watching. Perhaps there's a portion of it that I can relate to. But you read further, if you intend to watch the movie, don't go on reading the rest of this entry, coz there are going to be some spoilers.
Towards the end of the movie, one of the 2 lead characters, Leslie, dies. The other, a boy named Jess, cannot accept the reality of this, partly because of his guilt he feels towards Leslie's death. The reason he felt this way was because Leslie died in 'Terabithia', because he wasn't there with her as he usually was, and because he wanted to go out with his female teacher alone (he had a crush on her i think) and didn't ask Leslie to join them as he should have. Of course, any one would say it wasn't his fault, after all, who would know what would happen? But I guess I understand how Jess felt. I felt the same way when my own sister had her accident. But I shall not elaborate on that.
I think it's really beautiful how the 2 children could create a whole new world of their own based on merely their own imagination. Amazing how the power of imagination can be really. I found so much meaning in the film. 2 misfits finding solace in each other... and using what they do best to complement each other and find that special friendship. Totally blew me away. And yeah, I cried my ass out at the end of it. Haha.
Bridge to Terabithia. I guess the movie is also trying to tell us how we forget the essence of things around us as we grow older and get caught up too much in the fast pace of life. There's one quote in the movie that I really like: The best prize in life is working hard and doing work worth doing. Many times we forget how fortunate we are to have what we have, and we always tend to seek jobs that gain us either money, prestige or status. But that's not important is it? Doing work worth doing. It's very similar to what someone told me just a few weeks before. Many people are contented with where they are and what they have, and thus do not have the slightest intention of making a difference somewhere. I'm not referring to something big, like the next Mother Teresa or Martin Luther King. But just something small. Volunteering at a children's home. Doing charity work (not merely donating money mind you). Consciously be aware of people around and lending a helping hand whenever possible. It's never always just about you. I'm not perfect. I also forget this point sometimes. But I try. I want to make a difference.
Well, what we can all do now is simply being aware of what's going on around us. Just being aware...

One more paper left!
The war is coming to an end. Heh. One more paper left! I can hardly hold out much longer... I'm dead tired! Lol. The papers are ok so far... not that I'll be expecting fantastic grades though. Made a few mistakes this sem. I must buck up! One more year to pull my CAP before I apply for SEP.
Anywayx.. I got eyecandy! Lol. Wanhua is jealous, coz eyecandies are good to look forward going to school for. Heh. Well I guess it's a little late for me to be announcing I'm having an eyecandy, haha, but I guess even for me, it's only just starting to get more prevalent. It's not easy having an eyecandy in NUS. Lol. Wanhua and I were just randomly talking about it some time ago. NUS guys not good looking! lol. Or perhaps not suited to our tastes...or that we have too high standards. Lol. I do spot the occasional hot Caucasian but that's about it. Wahahaha. But in any case, Wanhua has a bf anyway. I'm just wandering around. Hah.
I think I'm beginning to understand myself better. Self awareness is a very powerful thing. It allows you to change and adapt yourself to any situation, to rectify an aspect of yourself, to do things according to your talents.
Can't wait for my roomie to come back! Argh. I'm feeling bored...and I'm supposed to be studying for my last paper. Hehe...

Just a thought
I have a paper in less than 2 hours. I guess you must be wondering why on earth am I not mugging then? Haha. I was. And I was feeling extremely stressed about things, about the exams, about whether I can do well this sem, about whether I can maintain my scholarship, about whether I can live up to my own expectations, about whether my parents will be disappointed with me.
Then while studying, I was listening to my itunes... and this song came on - 'I hope you dance' by Lee Ann Womack. Man, this song never fails to inspire. It always gives me this sense of calm after listening to it. People always say that life is worth more than just studying and work, but do we really understand it?
My few favourite lines are 'Never settle for the path of least resistance... Life means taking chances, but they're worth taking...' The whole song is meaningful actually but at the moment, I guess I feel the most for these few lines. We always want to do things the easy way. Succeed in things we do the first time we try it...and because of it, we fall hard when we fail. We want things to go well all the time, and we 'settle for the path of least resistance' because we afraid to try, and afraid to fail. I'm afraid too, I don't deny that. Sometimes the odds just seem so great, and you feel so small and stupid. But we just gotta realise that well, God placed us all here for a reason. Even if you are religious, you can still realise we all have a purpose here. This purpose might not what we expect, or desire for that matter... but it is a purpose...and it's very important.
And yea, life's about taking chances. Think about it. Like how you are afraid to take this module you are really interested in, but afraid that you won't score well because the format is not something you THINK is your forte. Or perhaps not telling that girl/guy out there how you feel, because you THINK you are sure she/he won't feel the same way. The whole point here is about knowing what you want. Things might not turn out the way you expect. Of course, be smart about the choices. Not things like crazy stunts on bikes when your friends egg you on.
All right, I shall get back to work. Do the best I can with what I have and what I am, no more no less...

I wuv my brother!
No particular reason why. Just wanna say it. Hehe. I must say that I'm a very lucky sister to have such a great brother though. Despite his flaws (grouchiness when he's slpy or sudden surges of temper, but hey, no one's perfect right?), he's still the best younger brother one could ever have! Wahahaha.
We're very close. And as far as I know, I'm the only girl who shares a room with her brother. Lol. Forget the messiness man. HAha. I like having my bro nearby. It doesn't happen so often now that I stay in campus, so I treasure the times I have with my brother even more. Which is why I'm especially looking forward to my 3month long break! Back to my home! =)
My bro's a really sweet guy. Last time I damaged my knee real bad and could hardly walk. This was made worse by my marathon run last year. Heh. Despite that I went back to hall that sunday night. My mum drove me back, and my brother piggybacked me to my room! Lol. So cute. Yea, my bro is strongggg... being a canoeist in RJC. Wahaha. He's useful to bring grocery shopping to... coz he carries all the groceries! Well, not that I wouldn't help, but he insists on carrying everything anyway. But for all his muscles, he doesn't like people to say anything about his biceps and such. It just irks him, coz he feels it draws unnecessary and unwanted attention. Haha. Like I said, he's super cute la.
He's quite the protective brother too. Like when I complain about some idiotic guy or the equivalent, he'd wanna bash that person up. Wahaha! The funniest was when I had to go for a 'full body' medical checkup and it was done by a male doctor (of course, there was a female nurse in the room as well). My brother was extremely indignant! He wanted to go complain! Wahahaha. I couldn't stop laughing man. Granted, I was a bit embarrassed by the checkup, but my brother's reaction was the ultimate. =p
Generosity is a virtue, and my bro has it. Heh. Anyway, I remember last year he treated me to a $160 ticket for a BSB concert. Heh. Of course he went as well, so that was $320!! Haha. Well, he did say it was for 16 years worth of birthday presents. Or did he say Christmas presents? Lol. The seats weren't fantastic though. I could hardly see the boys coz I was so short! Damn. My brother had fractured one of the bones in his hand at that time and couldn't piggyback me. Lol. He felt so bad about it! Awww.
Just last Christmas, he got me a rather large Doraemon plush toy. It's about 1/4 to 1/3 of my size. Wahaha. Not that I'm very big, but it ain't that small either. He said he remembered me mentioning that I miss hugging something when I was back in hall, coz back at home, I always hug either my parents or my bro. So he got me the plush toy to hug. AWWWWWWwwwwwww........ I was sooooooo touched!
Ok, I better get back to work. But not before I say... I LOVE MY BROTHERRRRRRRRRR!!!

Scum
My gosh. I'm super irritated by this guy friend of mine. He's expressed interest before but I clearly emphasized a 'No, we're just friends'. Apparently he didn't really get the idea. But it wasn't so bad.. just talk normally though sometimes there were obvious implications behind his words. And this is the last straw. I feel super insulted. I changed his name to (He).
(He) said:
let me give you an example.... have you studied how to kiss someone before
=Beck needs wings= Waiter: "Are you finished?" Customer:" No I'm Swedish! He's Finnish." said:
wad kind of qns is that
(He) said:
its the kind that makes the point.... studying is learning, learning is not studying. some things cannot be studied.... what did u think I meant?
=Beck needs wings= Waiter: "Are you finished?" Customer:" No I'm Swedish! He's Finnish." said:
of all examples to give
(He) said:
of course... its meant to be outrageous...it got your attention isn't it? that way, you will never forget.... isn't that a way to learn and remember...
=Beck needs wings= Waiter: "Are you finished?" Customer:" No I'm Swedish! He's Finnish." said:
i never disagreed with you that learning isn't always studying
besides i'd say kissing is part of instinct
it's a different category altogether
like how animals have instincts
(He) said:
hmmmm don't really know about that.... do not have much experience in it.... I will have to defer to your superior experience in this matter then
Crap. Make me seem like some slut or something. K maybe I'm thinking too much but the thing is he's not a close friend and I don't know him all that well. If close friends say this kind of thing, I obviously wouldn't mind. But... arghx. Gross. Super put off. Not the first time already. I wonder if it's a good idea to treat him normally like how I treat my other friends. I DON'T WANT him to think he has a chance. At all. If I ever have to work with him in future, I'll insist on a change of partner or group.

What hurts the most by Rascal Flatts
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don’t bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok
But that’s not what gets me
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do
It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I’m doin’ It
It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
(Not seeing that loving you)
That’s what I was trying to do
Feeling refreshed...
Just had a good jog. Heh. That's why I'm feeling so refreshed. =) Was feeling really sleepy before the run. Now it's time to get some work done! HEhe.
Been blogging a lot more frequently lately. I guess I just wanna escape studying for exams. Heee.. I'm feeling even less prepared now than I was for last sem. Gosh, and I didn't think that was possible. Oh boy.
All right all right. I shall get back to work. Before I lose my freshness and get all slpy again. Lol.
Ciaox~

BORED
Gosh. I'm bored. Studying sociology at an extremely slow pace since morning. And the mozzies are sucking my blood dry. Maybe that's why I can't function as fast. Lack of blood in my system. Lol.
I'm eating a lot today. Hmm. Relatively that is. Had instant noodles for breakfast followed by choc fudge brownie ice cream. Not the healthiest of meals but who cares? Life's too short. =) And for lunch, good old Leon bought me boneless duck rice. Yummy. Perks of having a car. You get to travel out to get better food. Now I still feel like eating. Damn I'm greedy. heh. Gotta exercise more after the exams.
Talking about food reminds me of something I realised. I realised I cannot stand it when guys eat very little. It just irks me. Like it totally violates everything I believe in! Lol. ok, not so serious. But it's just damn weird to see guys eating so lil. Most normal guys would take second helpings or more. Like say my brother... I never fail to give him at least half the plate of rice off mine, and he'd still ask for more after that. And he's not fat. He's a perfectly healthy individual. And guys saying they wanna diet is like DAMN WEIRD. Please. Goodness. Just eat. I'm so gonna make sure my future BF or husband (if I ever have one) has a good healthy hearty diet. Seriously. Of course not to the point of obesity, but rather, a case of eat well, exercise well.
Girls not eating a lot is perfectly fine, coz they tend to have smaller appetites. Of course, those that claim they wanna diet when they look perfectly fine... oh buzz off. I must admit my appetite has its mood swings. There are days when I can't seem to eat at all and there are days when I can't stop eating. Heh. Actually it really depends on my level of stress and all. When I'm really depressed, I can't eat. Wan Hua always says she's jealous of this characteristic of mine. Heh. Coz she binges when she's depressed. Heh. For me, I binge when I'm pissed. Lol. I need my comfort food man. As of now, my comfort foods are Ben and Jerry's ice cream and Doritos Cheese!! Lol. When I start to have other cravings, I'd tell you. Lol.
I'm gonna be running in the City Duathlon on the 20th May. Heh. Doing the relay with Victoria and JJ. He's doing the 10km bit while Vic is doing the 40km cycle. As for me, I'll just slack off with a 5km run. Yeah me =). And on the 10th June, I'll be doing the Anlene 1.6km Orchard run. Woots! Prob with xintian. Wanhua said she's keen but she wants to find some buddies to WALK with her. LOl. :p Sheena is going with her girlfriend too. My cross country team might be running for the fun of it so I might join them. See how things go. Lol.
All right. Back to work!
I'm eating a lot today. Hmm. Relatively that is. Had instant noodles for breakfast followed by choc fudge brownie ice cream. Not the healthiest of meals but who cares? Life's too short. =) And for lunch, good old Leon bought me boneless duck rice. Yummy. Perks of having a car. You get to travel out to get better food. Now I still feel like eating. Damn I'm greedy. heh. Gotta exercise more after the exams.
Talking about food reminds me of something I realised. I realised I cannot stand it when guys eat very little. It just irks me. Like it totally violates everything I believe in! Lol. ok, not so serious. But it's just damn weird to see guys eating so lil. Most normal guys would take second helpings or more. Like say my brother... I never fail to give him at least half the plate of rice off mine, and he'd still ask for more after that. And he's not fat. He's a perfectly healthy individual.

I'm soooooo irritated!
MAN! Bad day bad day. ARghx. Went to the library to print my notes. Guess what? I didn't format it to HANDOUTS... so all my powerpoint slides came out SLIDE by SLIDE. *stabs myeslf* Now I have a huge chuck of useless crap. Cashcard no money left so I couldn't reprint them in handouts format. I thought it would automatically change all to handouts after I changed the first one... but NOOOO, it had to be manually for EVERY SINGLE ONE. Argh. I need to get this out of my system... AHHHHHHHHH!!
Since I'm feeling so angsty today, I might as well comment on all the 'MEN ARE SCUM' type of songs that I happen to hear recently. Some examples are:
How do I tell her by Lobo (Damn nice melody. Thought it was a great song till I read the lyrics. Damn idiot! Read it and you know what I mean)
My friends over you by New Found Glory (good tune BUT after happening to listen to it closely today, I realised the asshole simply 'chose his friends' over her despite all her efforts and gave some rubbish excuse.)
Walk away by Corrinne May
Lips of an Angel by Hinder (Yes I agree it's an awesome song, but when you see the lyrics, you understand that the guy in character is a major scum longing for his ex when he already has someone new)
I'm sure there are many more besides but I'm too lazy to go on. Yea, guess my angstiness is quite obvious. WAhahaha.
And I can't finish studying! Stupid notes wasted an hour of my time. Now my mood is no good to study with. Think I shall go have Jap food for lunch. Just need to find a nice buddy to have it with... hmmmmm.

"Your Guardian Angel"
THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS
When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and Please tell me you'll stay, stay
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
[to fade]

This is from the choc fondue session organised by Eusoff Christian Fellowship. Of course, not all who went are Christians, it's really a fun thing. Haha, and I sang 'Heaven', the piano played by Putra. Hehe. After that, as an impromtu thing, Surath and I sang 'Rest your love on me'. He played the guitar. And as a guest performer (forced to. hehe), he sang 'Always' by Bon Jovi. It was really fun all in all.
Taken during Mum's birthday. Hee... mum and dad look so cute together. ^.^
My girls from my Dance! Hehe. Voted dance with best costume...lol. informal one of course. I feel so fat amongst my super slim dancer friends! Wahahaha
Hehe... Vannessa and I! :) She's in a different dance though. But we're kinda the same. Both of us aren't dancer material...we're trackers man!
Taken after we returned from DnD. Our table's theme was 'We Are Royals'. Xintian dressed up as phocahontas and I was some random arabian princess. Heh. Her costume took us hours to make!
After a long break...
Wow. 3 months. Almost. Have been too busy/lazy/un-inspired to blog, but now... I feel the need to escape the tedium of the period of mugging-for-exams. Not that I've been studying a whole lot. =p I'm such a slacker. Anyway, I think I shall do a brief summary of the past 3 months. My minute creativity juices has been squeezed out a lil by the boredom of studying. Hehe..
Febuary
Hmm. Guess the biggest event in this month was Eusoff's Dance Production. I'm feeling nostalgic even as I type this. It was truly an awesome performance! The professors who watched it were amazed at the script - the depth of it and all. I'm too am awed by it. The scriptwriters are really good. And the dances... Eusoff has really earned the reputation of the 'Dance' Hall, other than the more well-known sports hall. I can safely say that Eusoff did the best Dance production this sem, among those other halls who had theirs this sem as well. Other friends who watched the other performances agreed so, even people from other halls. I'm really proud to have been a part of Eusoff's dance production this sem. Heh. Even though I only did one dance. But it was fun! Not that I'm any good. Hehe... Next year I think I might try out acting. If I get it. Or if Betty choreograhs again, I might wanna do her dance again. ^.^
March
Don't think anything really big happened this month. Except for a few gigs played by Surath's band. Oooh, I remember the one at UCC. Whoa that was really good. I'm truly amazed by their skill at the guitar and the vocals. Awesome voice. Hehe. I'm a band groupie through and through. Of course, Eusoff's bands are my number 1, but I can sidetrack a lil. Hehe... KR bands are too fab to not support. No one I know can sing songs by Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams and Eagles as well as Surath can. Even people like Rachel, Kim and May Yin are taken. Hehehe...
Can't believe Surath thinks I have a unique voice - and that I can sing. Wahaha! Uniquely weird maybe. I like to sing, but I never thought I could - you know - sound nice. Surath thinks I can, and he's a completely honest individual. If he thinks something sucks, he'll say it with absolutely no qualms about it. Lol. Nips wants me to join the Eusoff Band next year. Heh. I think I will. Since I'm always there when they are having practises, I might as well get some points for it.
-back to current moment-
I just cleaned my ceiling fan! OMG, i'm so brave. lol. Rachel was screaming her head off. All the dust has accumulated to form long black worms. And she found one really long one on her laptop. Hehe. The brave Rebecca comes to save the day. I'm telling you. I can be world's number 1 Housewife. So claims my block girls. I can cook. I can sew. I have a fetish for cleaning rooms (and now the fan). Wahaha. Lucky future husband. If I ever have one. Spinster-dom is looking extremely enticing.
-back to recollections-
April
That's this month isn't it. Heh. Nothing much to say. Oh. Surath cooked Easter dinner. Nips, Rachel and I went over to eat. He prepared chicken curry and prata. Not bad not bad. Of coz it's all followed by songs. The C7 guys joined in. Shane, Hanrong etc. Hehe. All the talented musicians. Musicans are attractive. I'm gonna learn the guitar during the holidays. And sing more maybe.
Well that all leads to today. Currently TRYING to mug for exams. Haha. Oh right. I forgot one more thing. Heh. Consultation with my soci tutor Harry. Together with Wanhua and Xintian. He's cute la. But more importantly, he's really nice. Our consultations are really long. He's very helpful and all. Of coz not forgetting the 'talk cock' sessions. Wahaha. Damn cool tutor. He's coming all the way back to campus for another consultation session with us this coming friday. Really nice of him. Then again, it's his last sem here. He's gonna go somewhere to complete his Masters if I'm not wrong.
Heh. Okok, back to work. Someone help me focus. Lol.

Not giving up!
So many things to do, and with so little time to do it.
What with dance, training, readings, assignments, tutorials, projects, etc... I still want to leave some time for family and myself. Haha... but I know I can cope. It's just a matter of discipline. Don't go out and play so much basically. Don't supper with friends. Don't talk till wee hours in the night (better to spend the time studying!) Lol.
Anyway, I'm really quite motivated about my dance now! Betty said I'm doing well! She came up to me after the dance session and said that I'm improving a lot.. "The movements are there are you are swinging your arms right!" OMG! I'm so happy. =) All my work finally paid off. Of course, thanks to a sweet and patient choreographer like mine. I'm getting quite excited about Dance Production now. Just a couple more weeks...
Anyone wanna buy tickets? It's going out at either $18 or $25 depending on the location of the seats... oh and there's no free seating. So I'll try to get ya good seats. Heh. Oh, and it's on the 16th of Feb at UCC... lol. The eve of the eve of CNY! Really pity some of my friends, they can't make it back in time for the reunion dinner... foreigners you see. Thinking of asking them over to my place for a bit. Get into the new year mood ya know. I know how sad I'll be if I had to spend CNY alone.
All right...back to readings. Still got 20 more pages to go! Jiayou!

Beck can't dance
Gosh. Kill me right now. I can't dance for nuts. I'm always either lagging, too fast, forgetting my steps or something. Feeling really stressed about it. Really don't want to pull the whole dance down. I guess there has always been a reason why I was never involved in the arts or the cultural groups... haha.
The thing is, I've been wanting to perform since like forever. Haha. You know... like go on stage on stuff. The last time I've done that was in Sec sch. Really miss the feeling I had then. Though I must admit I always get drastic stage fright right before the performance. Lol. Oh well. See how things go. I'll get the music from betty and really really really practise hard. I want my first major performance to be a good one =)
Going for dinner soon...esther is finally back from her rehearsal. I'm starving!

A new semester begins...
Well...school has started for a week now. I haven't been blogging during the holidays. Too many things happening at the same time and I'm just too lazy to bother. Heh. Well let bygones be bygones. Shall not think about the past anymore.
I was just ranking my tutorials slots just now. A lot of my hall mates are taking the same modules as me...so I'm discussing with them which tutorial slots to bid for and stuff. Haha... I wouldn't wanna do projects with people I don't really know. Who knows whether they'd do their work properly? Not be accusing or anything but I guess this sem I really have to pull my grades up. Last sem was a major disappointment. But I guess I deserved it. Haha... I've already started up on some of my readings. Need to get into the flow again manx. =)
Lots of hall stuff going on this sem. IHG...DP...DND... Haha...it will be a rather fun semester I would say. Just had my track IHG this week. Eeks... I did my 800m really badly. Oh well. Shall have to train really hard for my road race. Running is my thing man...and if I can't give it my best shot... I can't give anything else any better. Then there's DP. I'm getting quite excited about it. My first performance on stage since sec 2! Hehe... love the exhilaration man. Though I must say dance isn't really my forte. But I shall work hard at it! Hee. Next year I intend to join DP acting. So exciting! =p
Oh...and SQ is staying in Eusoff hall this sem! Heee... miss her so much manx. We havent been catching up for the longest time. So good to have her back. She's soooooooo spastic! Makes me laugh like few others can.
Going for branch with my mum later. Breakfast was a horrid affair...food sucks. It's always only the company that's good. Heh. Need to get some toiletries. This sem is gonna be really tight one for me...budget-wise that is. Shall have to work a bit more. Sigh. Hope I can get more cash from CNY. Haha... otherwise I shall have barely enough to pay for hall stay. Gosh.
All right. Mum's almost here... gotta go!
