tang yuan

Finally after for so long, and after the festive season
I made tang yuan (gultinous rice balls)with my housemates
At home, we usually buy pre-made tang yuan and just cooked it in peanut syrup
never knew that making tang yuan from scratch would be that fun and easy
We had Milo, Gula Melaka and tang yuan with no fillings
Gula Melaka was the best, the sweetness of the coconut sugar burst into your mouth when you bite into it
the rest was---alright





on a personal note,
I realised I have a lot of personal issues to sort out
and it evolves around interpersonal relationships.
I never was a people-person (if u get that meaning)
I like my solitary and my space
I dislike having to act in anyway to delight someone and to put myself in misery
this is probably exaggerated
But I think that, I should just live life as it is
and put all those shit in the trash bin
because eventually it will sort out on its own

Wettest spring

This must be the wettest spring ever
gone yesterday was one of the few fine days
and following today onwards,
rain rain and more rain

I want the sun
less the cold wind
then it will make the perfect weather :)

Wordle

everyone do take care

Only as useful as toilet paper

question...

What has become of this world lately?

Almost everyday these past weeks, when I view my internet homepage
there will be news on "Lehman Brothers Bankrupt", "FED reserve bails AIG for US85 billion" or the latest "Morgan Stanley, second largest investment bank, on SALE". Great Singapore Sales ar??

I have limited knowledge on finance and market studies
but with news as such, It really grabbed my attention and wonder if the world's finance market has gone insane

there is unstability everywhere, it's frightening
imagine the return of the Great Depression
people going insane because of the crushing market
heaps of human queues outside the bank, all waiting to withdraw money from their account
one by one, banks go bankrupt and close down
people frantically buying all the necessarities and wiping the supermarket clean of all their products

What if paper money becomes only as useful as toilet paper??

sigh, does money really makes the world goes round?

seriously, I don't know the answer or what I just wrote makes any sense to you
I never study economics or finance before
I don't think I will, not right now
But I will be VERY interested to listen to such conservation
If someone is willing to tell me more about it
hinting to PEAZ to pass some your accounting knowledge to me
I will be waiting :P

I should really return to my assignment :D

Most Stupid thing I've done this semester

I can't believe that I am so dumb :(

yesterday I was on facebook trying out one of the so called IQ test for fun
at the end of the session, it prompted me to provide them my mobile phone number so that they can send the results to me.
I did, without reading the terms and condition
in total, I received 4 of their sms and happily thought it was free

today, I checked my phone balance and found out that they actually deducted money from my credits
I am not sure what exactly happened
but before this incident, I checked my phone credits so I am sure that the credits are gone
I did not make any long phone calls during this period for that amount of $$ to be deducted

SO I DEDUCED...

it's stupid facebook application's fault
mine too for being dumb

I seriously hope this is a once's off thing
And I am sure you will never catch me doing such a dumb thing ever again
If they still continue to deduct my credits, I am so going to find them and destroy them

LESSON LEARNT:
ALWAYS READ THE BLOODY FINE PRINTS BEFORE AGREEING TO ANY DODGY THINGS
THEY ARE THERE FOR A REASON! :(

A-typical day

I have watched this 5 times and it never fails to amuse me


my finger sprain still hurts
I think I'm a whiny baby
but do i care... NO
haha

Today consisted of placement and work
it's typically boring day
I made friends with an Iraqi in the supermarket
amazing how easily you can chat up with someone over here
he started off with "hey gorgeous..."
lousy pick up line?? but hey it worked
received strange msg from a newly acquainted friend
who had boldly asked me out for lunch/dinner
unfortunately, he was briskly turned down by me
Making friends is one thing, going out with someone I don't know is another

I should really get back to studying :P

SUCKS THINGS happen in 3s

It sucks, not being able to perform to expectation
It sucks, when you loss marks because I did not read carefully and pay attention to important stuff
It sucks, when you are faling behind your peers
It sucks, when things are sucky

I really wish for a stroke of change
But I know that changes will happen either by luck or when I fight for it
Which really really sucks

MOOD INDICATOR: Obvious isn't it? It's a sucky mood. I'm so DOWN :(

1 HOUR RESTRICTION

I just saw that I've already posted up 203 entries. There should have been more cos I deleted some past entries that were about me blogging crap :P

I think I started blogging in 2002 when blogger was just set up. I remembered my entries were about school and who were the people I disliked and the anime characters that I liked. And then, there was this period where I could change my blog template every now and then which helped me to learn about html codes. Blogging has then become an integral part of my life, it allows me to ramble about silly stuff which I can't seemed to tell people without making a fool of myself :P

Anyways, today's ramble will be on how rashness/impulse can make you loss out.
I had a sprain finger; one that has been bugging me for the past 3 months
dear me went to a doctor who said that I should have come earlier and any damage on my finger had already be done. I was disappointed. Me, an OT student who is currently studying about hand therapy and yet didn't understand the consequences of delayed treatment.
So I was recommended to get an anti-inflammatory gel which would help relief pain and inflammation. In my impluse, I went to the uni pharmacy and gotten the gel at $XX. After class, I popped by Coles to get ice cream and i saw the exact gel selling at $X. Goodness!! the money that I could have saved can allow me to buy that tub of ice-cream.

Lesson learnt: Don't buy things on impulse

The above entry is seriously a joke. NO.
Every penny should be spent wisely... sigh

Next,

I have an issue with time management
time seems to fly by when I'm online and when I hit the books, the mind tells me it's bedtime. And I can't seem to get up early anymore.

SO,

I HAVE DECIDED,

TO PUT A 1 HOUR LIMIT,

TO MY INTERNET(ENTERTAINMENT) USAGE

FROM THIS DAY ON

I will have to stick to this restriction or else I'll be more familiar with facebook than my actual textbook (even if both are books)

okie so that's all
people who are reading this blog of mine
keep me updated with whatever's in your life
