Yes im finally leaving. This time round i got here really early! It seems that there's not many people on board! Okay minna-san, see you online! see you in january!

Hi I'm back here blogging. Not that I've reached home but rather than i was late and by the time i reached the airport, they've closed the check in counter. Sad!!!! very sad.. and yeah i know my mum must have been so sad cos I miss this year's birthday. Sis even asked me whether i was kidding.

Haiz, at least my mum was understanding. =( I'll be on the next flight which is tomorrow morning. In the early wee morning. I even got a cab ready this time. And i'll definitely be there early to eat breakfast, maybe catch the sunrise and do some readings.

But yeah im still sad over me getting late! Oh well, at least I got mei's company tonight. So I should be alright.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Had a blast during the party when we drew the kids' faces with the paint. It was all my idea and they had a lot of fun! They were willing victims for that. And it's fun that the whole family and friends came in the specified dress code. Everyone had to come in either red or green. It was fun when we took the pics. We practically took up the whole living room!!!! literally every inch of it.

There were the Hokkien carolling too who made us sing in Hokkien but they were merciful enough to let us sing in English. It was the usual songs from them. We preferred the one that YI did. (the one with me in it of course). Had a lot of fun carolling that night! We were really mad and high. We practiced hard for it and still I couldnt memorise the lyrics. I had to resort to writing cheat sheets for it. The last stop was at my uncle's place and we hung around a lot taking pics and all that....

Oh im tired after such a long weekend of baking endlessly. Oh well the shepherd's pies were so good! and it had a good response. Ohhhhh Christmas presents!!!! I got really nice and special presents this time. Scarf from Mei, Atkin's Diet Book from Elaine, the best Chris got me Jamie Oliver's book!!!!!! (And of course the hugable dog from Ms Hannah Tan! ) Dajie got me a new wallet (yeah!!!!). Well had a fun christmas this time!! and It's been a longggg longgg time since I last spend Christmas in Singapore. Just so happy to be here.

I will probably wont be online so often cos I dont think i will be at home most of the time as well! I will try to anyway. Keep in touch through email k!

It's been raining for the past 2 days in Singapore. As such there's this very cooling weather around and people has reason to don themselves with thick clothings. Some to the extent of wearing trench coats. The rain didnt come alone, it is accompanied with strong winds that a handful of trees around Singapore have actually fell. Some on houses, some against HDB blocks.

Some places are flooded to the point where shophouses along Thomson Road and Balestier are flooded up to more than ankle-high (i think, taxi drivers were telling me half knee.. but what's half knee?)

But it's good to see that carollers are not actually deterred from the rain. They had people standing behind them to hold their umbrellas while they sang. Despite the rain, somehow i could see their passion and joy for God. It's really heartwarming to see them sing.

I went to see Stef's mum christmas performance in Singapore. Made up of all ladies who took up guitars and then some of them even danced! Stef's mum dance and it was a dance that glorifies God. I'm sure that God would have been so pleased with their dance. The leading lady, although she may not be a good dancer professionally, but I would say that every move she has conveys her passion for Jesus. It was so clear in my vision, that I felt so touched by her passion. It did stir my heart and I was hoping that probably others who watched would feel likewise. The ladies sang quite a number of songs and some of them were pretty familiar. And well I sang along with them and it felt so good to see them putting their effort in taking up guitar to praise and worship God. The performance overall was okay, cos the songs that they sang were not really of Christmas carols, but the dancing was really touching for me. I just could sense the things she wanna tell God and how she is glorifying God. They were not just dancing for performance sake. Some of them in fact really dance to worship Him. They truly danced like David danced.

*trumpets blowing, fireworks display on the sky, jazzy christmas-y song playing, and slowly a birthday song emerged*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR NATA!!!!!!!!!!!

May all your wishes come true. And may you be blessed in every part of ur life.

Have a great Birthday!

*more fireworks display, "Jingle Bells Rock" being played, Junichi Okada emerges to blow a brithday kiss to Nata, and next a special someone winks at her and gives her a beautiful and huge bouquet of blue roses. And snow just starts to fall*

Nat, may this scene ever come true yah! =) For now just imagine it first... =p

More Neoprints!!!!

Currently listening to X-Japan's collection. And I actually like it. Previously i thought it was too noisy but it's actually nice!!

Yes Han, I like it now. The drums are so good! Amazing. =)

This weekend has been a nice weekend, spending a lot of time with my loved ones (my dearests girls and the 2 little girls.) It is really relaxing and very laid back, too bad that they all still have school and work so cant really accompany me.

Spend time out with meiyi and sheena. We met up and went to do stuff for Stef's upcoming birthday and to take the time to catch up and talk! Was supposed to be going out shopping just now but ended up staying at my place and just spend the day doing stuff and then had movie and pizza night. The company and food was great!!! After a long time, finally had Rocky's Pizza. It's one of the good pizza that i've ever tasted in Sg, but of course taste so much better if it's eaten fresh from the oven. And their service is good and different from other delivery people. But it was quite a scene when we had to pool in money to pay for the pizza. It was so funny, cos there wasnt enough money so I had to literally dig out coins from my coin box (which was filled with 10cents and 20cents coin). Poor uncle was so nice and patient! He didnt complain at all. Felt so bad!

On sat morning, i took the kids out to Sentosa with Elaine. Spend a bit of time with them. I had a lot of fun playing sancastle and taking them to the waters occasionally and they both loved it. Chloe almost wanted to swim and i didnt bring swim suit. I was just in beach shorts and t-shirts with no extra clothing. There were new stuff at the Pahlawan Beach. There's floats at this certain enclosed place of the beach and people can literally play as if they are at Wild Wild Wet. There were the banana boat around (not the sea sports kind. Just the float) and then there were more platforms for u to climb. The feeling was good lah overall. They both were very happy and were quite excited to go to the beach. We had so much fun that in the afternoon, all of us fainted at home before going over to my aunt's place.

On Sunday, i got badly abused by HANNAH TAN! She beat the crap out of me! She made me look as if i had a bad sunburnt!! Hannah, I forgive you! Basically the moment she saw me, she started beating my arms! Wah terrible! youngsters nowadays, so brutal! resorting to too much violence already! Wearing long sleeve didnt help to alleviate the pain from the severe slapping. (Nat, you've found your match and unfortunately for me, i've got another abuser!!!) And Hannah in the end spread her own gossip when she printed the stuff from her tagboard to gain sympathy and empathy from the Forever Young group (the Lao Laos, mainly us the elder ones.). But obviously her plan backfired and many supported me! hahahaha (see Hannah, u were digging ur own grave!!! cant believe u did that! ps: hit me some more no present for u arh!! and no sharing of present for mr E either!)

I had a very good weekend overall. And without realising there's actually 1 more weekend left before i go back to Indo next monday! And it's Christmas!!! Arghhh so fast it will be over. I want everyday to be Christmas, where there's lots of sharing and so much love during the season! Everyone is basically reunited during Christmas. The festive feeling of sharing is there. And i am always amazed that although Christmas is supposedly to be remembered by the Christians but it seemed that everyone is celebrating it with the sharing and loving. I am just awed by God's wonders basically. His work is really amazing and definitely His love is overwhelming and it's something that none of us can ever understand. The spread of His love for us could even affect non-believers to know that Christmas is the time to remember our loved ones. It's differnet from other festive seasons. Compare it to CNY, Hari Raya or the Indian's new year. They are all different. It doesnt have the same feelings involved. Oh well like I said, God is so Good to us.

Okay currently, im holding a part-time job.. To be a gossip spreader. Check out hannah's blog man.. Not sure how it is being received, but im sure it's pretty hot news. *wink at Hannah*..

Well i only have a tiny wee bit more to the end of my shopping! finally it's done i tell you. Been shopping for myself too! and it's a lot of sales around! ANd how can i resist. 10 bucks t-shirts, 5 bucks t-shirts.. and the current thing is 30 bucks jeans sales.

I need a break from all that shopping and so today I shall laze at home and cook something nice later. =p

Im really enjoying holiday now...

I know i havent been writing after my exam. I have almost gone MIA in fact. After the camp, i just havent been home and have been doing a lot of Christmas shopping. There's still lots to be done.

I'm finally home after a weekend at elaine's. Chris and I have volunteered to contribute some stuff for the family Christmas eve dinner, so we tried out cooking some stuff and gathering ideas.

I made Shepherd's pie, and yes it was a success. It is darn good.. but im still trying to see what herbs to put it to even make it more solid. I have to do it in their house cos i have no oven in my house and doing all these cooking just gives me more reason to get an oven. Not toaster oven but conventional oven! And i didnt realise how easy it was to make Shepherd's pie.

I've involved myself in a few things for Christmas this year. Youth carolling on the 23rd night, will be going to 3 houses to sing and coincidentally the last place would be my uncle's. I will be helping my aunt to prepare food before going for carolling and for a treat, I will be making Shepherd's pies for my mates. =p.. There's also Christmas Bazaar in church that day, I will probably be helping out with the games stall.

Christmas Eve, as usual time with the family. This time the whole Chan clan would be gathering after a hiatus from the tradition. And that also means that have to buy MORE presents. I'm broke..... I still have a long list of presents to get... But i know it will be fun this year.

Church Camp pictures!

Well it's amazing how the telly is helping me to study faster. This time i was studying while watching Tuesdays with Morrie. It's adapted from the book written by Mitch Albom, the author who wrote the 5 people I meet in Heaven. Both are the greatest and the most inspiring book that I've ever read. It leaves me with a lot of deep motivations in me.

Tuesdays with Morrie, is my favourite. It's based on a true story involving Mitch's dying professor, Morrie, who helped changed and get back Mitch's life back in shape. Mitch is one of his favourite students who knew what he wanted, what he wanted to do with his life. But after graduation, Mitch got "sucked" into the career world that he forgone everything else that he had wanted to do. Basically he's losing himself. After 16 years, he got the news of Morrie's dying predicament. And he went to see him.

They continued to meet weekly on Tuesdays, and discussed many things, aspects in life that most people would generally discard them. Death, Fear, Family, Love, Forgiveness. There was many things. " Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live." And i think it's so true. Knowing how you die, will help you to treasure things.

Most of us are so caught up in whatever we are doing. We look so far that we dont treasure what's around us now. We are always heading to be number 1, to being the best, to yield a successful life ( best paying job, best position,). Morrie would answer, " Why must we always be number 1? What's wrong with being number 2?" And it really struck me hard. Why am i always looking towards excelling and getting As? What's wrong with being average? What matters is that I am always putting in my best into it. Nothing else matters.

Morrie also said, " So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they are busy doing things they think it's important. This is because they are chasing after the wrong things. The way you get meaning into life is to devote yourself into loving others, devote yourself into your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." To Morrie, the most important thing in his life, is to give out love and to let it come in because like 'a wise man Levine had said, Love is the only rational act.'

So, Love each other or perish.

This book is a great read, and the film version is great as well. This is the book that really help me to take sometime off and think through where and how I wanna live my life. And at this juncture it helps to relieve a lot of pressure that i'm putting on myself. The things that are important to me are clearer to me now.

Hey... im just taking a little breather here. Oh well exams is almost midway right now. The next paper that I'm going to sit for might be the hardest paper as I have no clue as to what's going on with this module. i understand the stuff but trying to apply it is another thing. However i apply it, it just seems wrong. I hope this 2 days i can shed some light into what went wrong.

Just watched So you think You can Dance 2. It was nice!!! i love the show now. Previously i always watch chinese shows in prime time. Now it's different. I seem to be catching with lots of english shows. Just watched house the other time, it was pretty interesting. Currently me and nata are following Amazing Race Asia. It is thrilling to see the Asians race it out. Initially they were all niec to one another. Now, things have turned different, obviously. The last 2 episodes slug it out in Indo. Once in Jakarta, where me and nata laughed our head off when we watchd the people praying for their dear lives when their taxi driver drove at the road shoulder. That's indo drivers, everywhere are the same. And then yesterday, they explored Bali, seeing them going to the places you've been too sure feel different. And in fact, I am also thrilled seeing them race. So much so that me and nata sometime feel like we are in the race and we start saying who should do this and that at road blocks! So fun. And then there was the indo brothers, they are so cute! I hope they will last for quite some time. It's fun seeing the 2 boys get physically challenged.

Okay that's all for now. Now back to my studying for Mechanics. Please pray for me people. Hope that I can make it for this paper.

Currently my fave pics! I like the MnM one.... and it does remind me of me and mei... me the clumsy one while Mei is the pretty one! Don't u think so??

Christmas Tree Hunt Round 1

Hana is leaving today so last night, we met up. They are going to move somewhere far from us next year. So sad. :(

So last night, we took lots and lots of pics around the christmas tree.

Well it was a good break after first paper. But now it's time to chiong for my second paper. 0.O!

An excerpt from mei's blog.

Poor Marlin. Sorry!! I didn't mean it. [I've told her before, she always gets scolding from either me or Stef; and back home, Nata. Only Sheena is civil towards her]

Haiz. Just something that MnM noticed about my sorry plight. =p I dont understand how I get to be this scold-able.

At least because of these people, my patience grows each day too! And there's just a lot of spice added into my life. But I truly thank God for Sheena!!! At least she's humane!!!!

Sheena's Birthday Celebration

We, MnM celebrated Sheena's birthday last Saturday. Had a lot of fun together and it was a really nice place to have dinner. The ambience was great, the weather was great and the company couldnt have been better. The birthday girl was beaming throughout the night and She was so gorgeous in her white dress!

For more details of how the night went, check Mei and Sheena's blog.

Shee, I hope we made your night and that you had a memorable 21st yeah!

hmmm i just realised how distracting my com can get me. Basically as long as it's on, I cant really concentrate on doing my work! So I have decided not to go online. I will only switch on the com twice a day! Once in the afternoon and once in the night, for email and work purposes. And well to upload pics. Other than that, the com will be switched off. I have to print all the tutorials solutions to prevent myself giving excuses to switch on the com.

Okay! JIA YOU EVERYONE!

NATA!!! CONCENTRATE!!! COME ON YOU CAN DO IT!

Stef, Jia You with the thesis. 1 more week of being an undergrad before it's over.

NUS people! It's reading week, 1 more week before all the papers start pouring questions on us! So JIA YOU!

Christmas in November!

Finally decorated the trees and the house to welcome the festive Xmas season! I know it's very early, but it's a very good mean to boost my morale for studying! =) We had fun decorating it and U see there we had socks hung on the wall!! SO christmas-y! We took lots of crazy pics. As usual we are photo-addicts!

Sheena's Bday party

(It is still incomplete but I will upload the rest tomorrow for sure!)

It's WAR!!! look at the huge snow balls the boys made!
Happy and Sunny at St Fransisco
What are these dogs owner thinking???
Strong and Mighty!!!

These are some pics that I think are yet to be posted. And it's all so cute! Was just going through the USA folder. I miss the white xmas.. All that snow especially! And i cant imagine 1 year has literally passed just like that!!! Haiz... i wanna spend another white xmas year! Soon!!!

yes yes finally an update.

well i have no idea what to blog on these past few days after the saga. I had been really tired out of all project works. I was just plain exhausted. All i wanted was to concentrate on my studies right now. So that was what i have been doing for the past few days. Been doing past year papers and doing some catching up with the tutorials.

My uncle came for a transit on friday! But he left the next day! We went to Clementi to have breakfast at the market there. We had porridge and roasted pork which really were a weird combination! But we were hungry so whatever. After breakfast i had to send him off at Batam, actually he can go over anytime since his flight back to my place was late evening, but I had to celebrate my auntie's birthday. Already promised them that I will come for the lunch gathering.

After that lunch, I went to go and get a new phone (on impulse! although i've thought abt changing for long but pricewise it was definitely on impulse). I got myself a Samsung D900! Very sleek and slim! Love this phone a lot. I was VERY late on meeting mei! I cant be completely blamed for this. I was under the impression that Sheena was joining us and I thought that the 2 of them can meet first! So i can take my own sweet time and not worry abt mei being there all alone waiting for me. neither did i know that mei was really MAD at me (u see, she's always screaming or scolding me, so the msgs didnt really show much diff between mad and not mad). It was only much much later that i know she was all alone! I felt so bad!!!! She was damn pissed! Her face was almost as black as charcoal! but thank goodness she's so forgiving and not that ruthless! So merciful :)

Well we went to Chinatown to find something for Shee's bday party this coming friday! The theme is Shanghai Night! So mei wanted to dress up as yang wa wa while i am supposed to be some mafia but I think the outfit that i bought makes me look more like a wealthy merchant than mafia. We both found our outfits, well pictures will be posted at the end of the week so look out for it. It was a wet saturday and both of us were really really tired out since we got so little time to sleep the previous night (me because i hv to study, mei had a late night on fri).

Okay im really tired and my mind is not so much in blogging mode. Cant seem to be able to describe things properly! But the general idea is there lah k! =p I'm this tired. I cant think properly! But i still need to study! Argh.. ok study time... More coffee!!!!!

well today finally comes the day of the presentation of our HR. It went pretty well, the teacher liked our presentation. It was short though it takes 1.5 hour but hey we took the shortest time to present. Didnt like long long presentations.

well after the saga last night, the bangladesh girl, had a different attitude and no longer putting on air or something. she could even act as if we had all been on very close terms. It was nothing like before. me and Raina were both baffled by the sudden change of attitude. She was even talking to me on things OUTSIDE the project, like more abt daily stuff! She was even leeching around me so much that I couldnt even talk to Raina without her interrupting. Oh well, maybe she just didnt want to mess around or something.

the interesting one, the guy. Oh he didnt come for the meeting and he didnt even tell the group. He called the bangla girl (the only one that wasnt mad at him) this morning abt the change. And when i messaged at 4, he didnt reply till 5! Silly right. Crazy fool. Oh and he only came when the class start. I didnt want to be childish and not talk to him. So i had to make clear with him about his changes to his part, which he didnt even amended and sent it to me. After that end of talk and he sat by himself at 1 corner, while the rest of the girls were talking by ourselves. So much for him wanting to wear formal wear, he himself wore shorts and t-shirts! (see mei, me and raina were the only one who were smart-casually dressed). I think he wanted to make up something for the fault that he did without apologizing so he went to do the past year question that we were supposed to present at the end of the day. None of us did it. But raina made it very clear to me that a simple apology would just be able to turn everything back to normal.

Oh well, i left after the presentation as my parents were here for 1 night transit. Met them for dinner. So sweet the 2 of them insisted on eating at crystal jade at Taka upstairs cos they said I would only be able to eat there when the 2 of them are around (ex plus it's chinese ala carte). Ended up trying this steamed hairy crab that used to be so expensive! But cos now it's not that rare to find hairy crab, the price has decreased. It was really nice! The 2 of them has lost weight since they went on the trip. It turns out that besides going to Chiang Mai, they had also gone to Cambodia and Vietnam! And the 2 didnt like the food there and couldnt eat much! It's really the first time! did a bit of last min shopping for gifts for some people back home.

Okay i want to go bathe and just chill for a while. If im sleepy, then will probably sleep...

GUYS ARE REALLY DENSE, PROUD AND ARROGANT!!! IF IT's THEIR MISTAKE IN THE FIRST PLACE, THEY REALLY HAVE NO INTENTION TO APOLOGIZE MAN!!! IDIOT!!!!

yes things turned pretty sour for my HR Group as the saga continued today. Let me give a background account first for what had happened. After the last meeting last tues, we sort of said we'll meet sometime this week. And it was never confirmed when. It was left hanging at the thot of tues 4pm. Actually in the last meeting, everyone was supposed to come prepared with their slides and ready to go for a dry run, which did not happen! In fact they all came unprepared and in the end me and Raina had to waste our time waiting for them to finish up their slides and collating them! SO no choice we had to meet once more and weekend was out since Raina was out on the ocean (she went for weekend cruise with bf family).

And so today, I didnt have a confirmation of the meeting at alL! I ended up having to message the leader and the rest to find out! And well everyone except the leader msged that they are not sure. Another girl proposed to change the meeting to tomorrow, which I have no objections and I did tell her that I am only agreeable if the rest agreed to the change. She then tell me that meeting will be tomorrow instead! So fine and that was 2.30 mind you. Of course I prefer staying at my cosy house to study! Then at 4, came a REALLY LATE reply to my prev question on the existence of the meeting from the leader." 4pm. NOW!" Obviously i msged the girl who proposed the change how come this leader didnt know. She said that there was no reply from him either and since it was so undecided so of course we would rather not go down to school since there is a half2 chance that there may not be meeting at all! If we go and there's no meeting, we are wasting time. At least if we dont turn up, the leader is staying in hall, there's nothing to lose from him.

So I thought it had all been resolved till I received a sarcastic email directed at me, blaming me for not turning up and making him waste his time. I was like what the hell!! He only read his msg at 4pm and yet he's being so sarcastic. It's of no big deal that a meeting is cancelled. He has nothing to lose yet he is so childish. Of course I didnt take it lying down! I hate to be wronged. He claimed that I bombarded his dying (low batt) phone with msges when all I sent was just 1 message. I replied that it's his phone problem and that had we known the phone were low batt we wouldnt even waste our money messagin him. Stupid idiot. He then went on correcting my grammar instead of even realising his mistake. Raina and KY (the girl who proposed the change) went to my defense. Raina was really pissed and blamed him for not confirming the meeting in the first place. He claimed he had wasted half hour waiting for us and he has mid term the next day. Raina rebutted him that if we are talking abt sacrifices, me and her sacrificed much more priorities for this project. Spent 3 days writing the damn report out! And she went on blaming him for not coming prepared last tues when we could have finished everything by then.

KY accused him for being exaggerating. here's the email,

u exaggerated. i received marlin's msg saying that u do not know we had a change of plan at 4.06pm (SGT). and if u had lesson till 4pm u would have only waited for at most 6 min. and if shabnam were punctual, u wouldn't have to wait at all cos she knew that we wun be meeting today.

u were late for more than ten min during our last meet-up, cos u were eating? at the canteen and nobody sends u an email because of that.

His reply,

I cannot overemphasize my preference for not getting into small talk.Btw, you were not even part of that meeting, so I'm not even talking toyou on this matter

Raina,

What the hell do you mean by small talk. This is with regards to defending ourselves. If you didnt want any small talk, keep your opinions to yourself.
And what do u mean i was not part of the meeting. For me to not have said anything does not mean i was not going to show up for the meeting. Before you make anymore accusations, do check your facts right.

Mine is a really long reply.

I dont understand. So the meeting does not involve everyone and just a few groups of people? And may i know who are you referring to in this particular email with so much anger that you are not even talking to this particular person about this matter.

It's just that you've been quite an inefficient and incompetent leader. Like Raina had said, the meeting was not even confirmed. Whether it was the timing nor the venue. Even if we did talk about the timing, not everyone replied. Neither did you try to confirm with everyone about the meeting. As such I had to mass message everyone as to clarify whether there was such a meeting. Imagine a member who is in doubt and only received a message from the leader at 4! Had I come and the meeting was actually not held, wouldnt it be a wasted trip for me to make my way there. I am not like you who is living in campus.

It is sad that things have to come this way because of your childishness over handling a matter like this. I apologize if you had to waste your time waiting. But shouldn't you be held partly responsible for it. Had you confirmed everything yesterday or even replied to the message earlier, this thing would not have even occurred in the first place. There are always handphones, I dont see why are we relying so much on email to communicate with one another with regards to meeting up.

And it is not like I am the only who is confused over the plan of the meeting. Raina and Kwee Yong too! So why are you so biased that you are speaking as if I am the person who f***ed up the meeting plan and did not know over the confirmation of the meeting. And as a result you think I am the person that wasted your half hour of precious time waiting for someone to turn up! Shabnam did turn up didnt she? I'm sure during the half hour you could well be reading up for your mid term anyway, so it's a matter of time management.

Just because I am not as fierce or firm as Raina, doesnt mean that I am easy to trifle with! I am a reasonable person. And I have my limit of tolerance! And if you think that you can easily blame me for your mistake, you are damn f***ing wrong man!

1 min later his reply,

I do not partake in any conversations that include four letter words. I come from a very well-educated background.

Raina then got offended. Okay maybe Raina also too worked up. I think he's referring to mine and yet cos Raina's email included hell (the 4 letter word).

you have cross[ed] a boundary and personally attacked my backgrd. This shall not be taken lightly.

His reply,

Raina, please let me make clear that I have not talked about anyone except my own self. If your perceptions lead you somewhere else, let me assure you that my motive is just to have a great presentation and let’s make it friendly.

Anyway, can’t we stay in harmony? I sincerely request you all to leave the past behind and look forward to the presentation.

Please look forward to the presentation and let’s end it in a friendly manner.

By the time i have sent my email, i was more or less cooled down. And cant be bothered le. And it's so stupid that he doesnt even apologize or even realise that he is partly to blame for the things that have happened. He doesnt even apologize to Raina. I even had no qualms apologising to him that he had to wait half hour which I'm sure i didnt have to actually! He doesnt even apologize to all. All that harmony!! He was the one who broke the harmony what! And i just replied with another long email. But basically just to end the enmity too! I was nicer in this email. My point was that he owed the group an apology. And he should apologize if he wants a harmonious end to it. It's like he's making things worse and just expect us to drop everything and look fwd.

This is definitely the most memorable project group that i ever have throughout my education life. Simply the worst out of all projects.

Some random pics that I think are really cute and adorable!

She chose some of the stuff to be added in
Our pics turns out to have lots of stuff in it
The bunny girl! Very sweet right!
She wants the nose!!!! and unknowingly it really fits
Shopping Queens and Princess!

Well we had an early bday celebration for Claudia this year. Partly i may be too busy to spend time with her this year's birthday! Especially for the school party! She's going to have a princess-themed party! (kids nowadays!!!!)

The princess decreed that she wanted to watch movie on the day we(me and mei) are going to celebrate her birthday. However due to the inavailability of the movie, I changed the activity to going to an arcade! Sadly the arcade doesnt really have children friendly games! We ended up playing car racing, and then there's this cute mario cart racing (super cute and funny game! can throw stuff at each other!) then off to try our luck with those machines that let you try to grab the stuff toys.

Then after that princess decided to have a japanese feast for her night! We spent time eating there and looking at her gobbling her food, while entertaining us with some of her funny talks! After dinner we took her to take neoprints! She even thought of the poses to do for neoprint taking during dinner! Then off to eat our birthday cake at Secret Recipe.

Her royal Highness chose Rocky Mountain as her cake while the Royal Consorts (me n meiyi) chose Strawberry Cheesecake (i think!). BEfore that her highness had wanted to buy THE WHOLE CAKE since it's a birthday cake! Thank God we didnt have any problem changing her mind to just get a slice of cake. We sang the birthday song and took lots of pics, while enjoying the cake! She then get to open her present (she said she wanna open it in our presence but pai seh to dirty the floor with the wrapping paper!, had to convince her that we will throw it for her before she agreed!) We got her a ballet mat to practise her ballet.

When The King and Queen came to fetch her, King hadnt had dinner so we all went to Glutton Bay at Esplanade to "nibble" and ended up having coffee talk! It has been a long time since I last went there. It's changed quite a fair bit! But it's still as nice as before, windy and then there's free music from the pub next door!

It was a good night of laugh and smiles. The Princess was happy throughout the night and was very tired when the day ends. But she was good, didnt make too much noise and complaint of tiredness when we had our coffee talk!

Celebrating Claudia birthday early!

Oh i forgot....

after reading hana and nata's blog (following their opening styles... after reading ___'s blog), i know my crazy stint with the storms are so much better than theirs. But mine is largely caused by the lightnings and the thunders and I am really amazed! Cos it's whereever i go when there's storm, there's lightning and thunders. SO unfair. It's raining heavily at meiyi's side but there's no lightnings!!!

Like at home (i was in school), it was raining like hell and yet, there's no thunder and lightning!!!!! But i was in school and yet all the thunder and lightning were present!!!! gosh!!! so stressed to be followed around by thunder and lightning EVERYDAY! it's more stressful than the exam!!!

Stupid lightning lah! So Scary, they seem to be striking the hill nearby my place!! and it's very very very loud!!! THe impact can make my window grill vibrate!!! How not to be scared!

So breathless with so many reports and presentations coming week after weeks. just when i finished one report, there comes another one (robot one). And it's no joke since my whole total grade for this module depends on this report. (i need my A to pull up my CAP).

The HR module group, the one with irritating members, is still as irritating! They cant even do a simple presentation slides by themselves. Waste my time!!!! It's like they need us to watch over them before they will do their parts!!! So wasted my time yesterday going down to school! We were supposed to collate everything together and have a dry run! and yet all of them didnt have their slides ready! ANd then we have to waste the day doing slides! So irritating right!

Sickening thing is that the weather is very stormy these few weeks!!! Im being chased by all the thunders and lightnings everywhere i go. Yesterday before going to school, it stormed! Today when i go to school, it stormed! and when i just reached CCK, it downpoured like nobody's business!! Crazy weather! And it's no good cause i have a feeling im falling sick! I have been having running nose eversince the weather changed drastically! haiz.. Really cant afford to fall sick now with exams coming and I need to prepare for it. ARGH okay enough blogged, it's time to study now.

Halloween Night @ The Butter Factory.

Yesterday went for halloween night at the Butter Factory. It was quite okay, Hip hop and all. THe songs was nice at the beginning and the end... in the middle it got a bit boring too.. But the whole atmosphere was nice.. Most people were in costumes (free entry for those in full costume!). Some of them headless and some were adorned with weird scary stuff. One even had a tv box stuck on his head. Then there were those that come in weird costumes meant for cosplaying (sailormoon, pirates, school girl (CHIJ uniform) and geisha.

Went there with Meiyi, Jamie, Audrey, Raina, Wan Rou and Dionne. It's mainly friends of friends that kind of relations. However by the time it was 2, only Meiyi, Jamie and I were still there. Raina and her friends went home early as she was feeling a bit tipsy. It was fun lah yesterday. Had a good time. But yeah im suffering from the after-effect of the liquors now. I am having all the rashes all over my body.. haiz.. everytime because of vodka... But Dad told me that he was also like that back then, so i suppose it's in the gene.

Next year will probably try out wearing some costumes if we are ever going for halloween again. Free Entry! just put on some hats and smear some "blood" on the clothes. =)

Meiyi.... Sorry!!!!!!!! Gomenasai!!!! Maaf (indo)!!!! tue bu zi!!! sorrieee.......i feel bad the whole night.. anyway not that i do it all the time... this time cos this friend seldom can come over (to sg) and she's only ard and free this weekend... sorry ok!!!!

Well yeah i pang sei meiyi just now... feel so bad the whole night and she wasnt in a good mood too when i cancelled on her... argh... sorry ok!!! [definitely tonight i wont pang sei you ok!!! I will make it up to u de.... ]

my beloved R2T2.. Im so lucky to have someone so capable in designing in my group!!!!

Finally he's come to realise his dream!!!

And the Chan clan has added another member to its big family!

Welcome to the Family, Rebecca.

This one "boy2" HK cousin(direct) of mine is finally tying the knot! I love their wedding pics, it's so much nicer than those in sg... Finally i get to attend a direct cousin's wedding! I dont have that many direct cousins actuallY! In my dad's family side, i only have 4 cousins or 6! heheh 2 goes missing you see. that 2 actually let the family down.. but yeah shall not deal with family politics. Out of the 4 cousins that i have left, Im closest to this cousin of mine. And we grew close only after i spent 1 month in HK during my long vacation 2 years ago. Those in China, i dont really know them. The one in Macau is more mature than I, so there's the gap there. But this one is only 5-6 years older than me. He's always been so boyish since young and he can really eat A LOTTT!!! His stomach is really literally a bottomless pit.

Well I'm happy for him that he is finally settling down and i hope he wont be so boy2 looking after this.

The latest album.. A day of fun, smiles and laughters.

Whose Line Is It Anyways - Richard Simmons

This one is one hell of a funny episode from whose line is it anyways!!!

NTU Student survey - FUnny comments

This is really funny!!!!! A must watch people... I laughed like mad last night.

I forgot to mention that I went to sleep smiling last night because of the little personal attack!
Raina also said that she slept with a smile too! We are not evil nor do we want to do this kind of retaliation but her defiance is just costing us our grades. And in fact, I need to do well in this course to help bring up my total grade. The fact that she's in year 4 and still does plagiarism, it's just a dangerous thing to listen to her.

Her full-of-self attitude also make her does not want to listen to other's opinion, which is irritating. She is very narrow minded while claiming to others that she is open minded. I do hope she learns something valuable out of this course.

The saga continues.

Last night after blogging, the irritating one sent us her "revised" version of her work. Well she did make a little changes trying to simplify her technical terms as she claimed. With that revised work, she attached our "report" (the crap one!! ) with it and said tht she had some comments made on it. I was thinking what is the use since it will be scrapped and everything would be different.

You'll never guess it. The first few pages were fine with a little bit of comments here and there. When it was my page and Raina's, it was FULL (mine has comments on every line) of comments!!! Raina and I was so shocked and was very amused at it and kept laughing. It was one hell of a personal attack! Serious! But it was so hilarious the way she does it. Raina wanted to retaliate but of course I told her to just be sarcastic, it's not nice to be mean. We roped in another member to our conversation (the quiet one), it turns out that she, too , was not in good terms with that irritating one. Apparently, she was told off when she wanted to leave early (since there was nothing to talk about), she was pissed about it. And yesterday the irritating one kept wanting to go home.

The personal attack on mine was on simple proof-reading which I myself did not proof read before sending the report out to them. I know that it's going to be me collating it anyway, I will be rewriting a lot anyway. It doesnt matter not to change them. And I did make myself clear that I will be rewriting my part, and she still proof read that crap thing that I wrote!! Unbelivable.

Well Raina just had to reply something yesterday,

Thank you XXX for taking particular notice at marlin's and mine part for grammatical errors. There would be no worries for the final draft as both of us will take extra care in proof reading, after which, everyone can do a final proof reading.
I sincerely appreciate the fast reply on your amendments on your part of the report. It will immensely assists in the compilation. Could you also send a copy of the article so as to facilliate our understanding of POS. Thank you.

The next email came speechless, just a blank email with the article. The part that she wrote was really too technical, that's why we needed the article to help us understand. And to my "surprise" (kind of expected it), it was like 90% plagiarism from the article. It was scary and thank god that I insisted on getting that article. Basically she hasn't done any work, by looking at her work. She was practically lifting it from the article. She didnt even bother to rephrase!

Okay so far it's been stopped at this.. I will give a quick update once there's a development with our saga with the Bangle...

My latest online purchase and so far it has kept me happy throughout the day!!

Plus now the robot that we are building is gonna look like R2T2 the robot in Star Wars

Well the day ended with a headache with the group members. Raina and I were arguing with them as they didnt see the point of where the current report is wrong and far from standard. And it was really frustrating that the irritating one keeps thinking of going home all the time when home is 5 mins away for her (staying in hostel), then keeps going against us... arghh irritating basically!

But thankfully, they just decided to leave everything to us.. so we managed to direct and have a pretty nice flow for the report now.. Amen....

NOw it's time for dinner...

Im in such deep s**t... After all that rushing through writing reports last night, the group leader collate all the reports by just practically putting them together without trying to make it flow!

As what Raina and I have expected and foreseen, we have been appointed to be the one to make it flow! AND THE F**King s**t is that, they are writing out of points!!!!! Agreeing to make it flow is fine but this looks like we have to basically write the report by ourselves.

One write definitions in dictionary style... One write case study out of the blue without introducing what she's writing on... one gets so technical i have no idea or watsoever abt her school of thoughts.. all are not linked to our scope of report! Submitting this kind of crap, will probably get me a F for BUSINESS MODULE!!! (the first ever probably!)

ARGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kids' fans club special!

Samuel, my cute little nephew

Make a guess!! Who's this?

Chloe, refusing to pose beautifully.. she wants to make ugly faces

baby Natalie's 1st ever published picture!

The sisters's love for each other.

Mei really can pose loh! I'm not that good at posing! See all same pose!!!

There's an exceptionally funny silly pic of us though taken in her phone! She kept laughing looking at that pic!!

Just came back from watching Scoop, starring Hugh Jackman (shuai!!! so charming and im still smitten by him), Woody Allen (funny guy!!!) and Scarlet Johnson. It is a simple plot, light hearted show and it's so funny (!!!), credit to Woody! His role is crucial in making the show humourous!

Hugh Jackman needless to say he's as suave as ever! Charming! Ohhh i was really melting inside! Just like the chocolate fudge that we (me and Meiyi) was sharing. The show is a must watch!

Next coming up is another Hugh Jackman's show. I think it's called the prestige or something. He is acting in one of the noble english role again!!!! Even more shuai!

Oh another show (no Hugh Jackman), is the Guardian. My sis said it's a very very nice show and a must watch. We watched the trailer just now, and then and there, we both agreed that we will watch that show too!

We've not watched movies for the longest time, i think about a month! Due to financial restrictions plus my lack of time to go catch a movie. In the end, we missed quite a few shows now. Hmm actually now i'm quite looking forward to try out the new GV cinema at Vivo City, the latest mall in Singapore (finally a new one!!). It is right now the biggest cinema, with 15 cinema halls. I hope the seats are as comfy as those in Cathay! We have been watching at cathay all the time for a while now. Eversince trying out Cathay, we've stopped going to Lido! There's a big gap between the 2. Furthermore, with our UOB card, it's even cheaper watching a movie in Cathay than any other places. So there's the plus point!

Vivo City is very big! And the best thing is that it bears a lot of the Australian brands. Meiyi finally found a place suitable for shopping! We've so far browsed quite a few and surprisingly there's this one shop that looks exquisite and yet it's financially reasonable (rare case in sg!). And oh they have Gap (first store in Sg!). I hope Gap is not expensive and i do hope they have big sized clothing there, if not it would be quite disappointing.

Well overall, i had a good weekend this week! Checking out new things and well spending time with meiyi and the rest of my housemates.

On saturday, we had a nice dinner for fei since it was her last day in Palm Gardens. She has moved to Joo Chiat now, gone to the food haven of the east!! A new housemate, Jenny, has come to take over her room! I thank god that we managed to find someone to occupy the room without much difficulty! And she's also a christian, so it's even better! Evrything is God's plan!

The haze is really bad outside. After i woke up from a call, i could literally smell the smoke. I just had to close my window! I can barely see the civil defense! This always happen at this time of the year. I just hope it doesnt get any worse.

I have been spending my day in bed today since im down with a very bad migraine. I hate it when it happens, it will just slowly sap the day out of me. I took 2 panadols, it didnt work. I slept the day off, occassionally just woke up due to the bad headache or sometimes calls.

The migraine had started since yesterday during my meeting, i knew i couldnt last the day already! Today had wanted to go for a tutorial in the morning, i changed my mind. Until i practically had a day off just to rest. Right now, it is still pretty much there but it's better than just now.

Right now, i just want to get started with my work. I have a lot of things to do.

Mid Autumn @ Palm Gardens 06

Just like little girls playing dress up!

Pictures have been uploaded into http://public.fotki.com/cmanling/natsu-matsuri
My msn pic album is finally reaching its maximum real soon. Fotki is unlimited, and furthermore for those who want the original size, it is possible too!

The Geisha!

The process!!!!

Well Nata organised a little gathering yesterday! Well it was fun! With all that dressing up as japanese things! Seems like the gathering are getting more interesting as time goes by. But too bad there werent many who graced the occassion. It cant be blamed actually! The weather was perfect for staying home but we are also thankful to those who made it despite the stormy weather.

It was so cute when Hany became the geisha! She wore the kimono and had actually agreed [ she's so obliging!] to being made up like a geisha! Obviously the amateurs make up artist did their best but due to the lack of the equipments and materials, we had to made do. I will post more pictures on that.

The rest of the girls (except me and hana) got excited and started making each other's hair so that they look more japanese. Some of them clip up their hair, some wore hairbands. Some plaited their hair. The guys sure didnt want to lose out. Tony who came in just shorts and t-shirts, changed into this "kimono" of nata's and came out looking like those japanese who own some bathing house! Hody came as Capt. Tsubasa but obviously his shorts werent the correct and he was wearing Brazil jersey.

I was supposed to be this character in the comic that all of us [except the NTU people and nata] are reading currently. Mine was easy as I just had to wear a shirt, long pants and tie. The kind Hana actually made mask for the both of us. So I had my mask to wear! See very easy! Thanks Han!

What did we do?

Well we were supposed to have this sushi-making competition initially [hmm talking abt that makes me hungry now] but since many came late, so we just made the sushi together. It was fun trying to make long rolls, but they were so hard to make so we started making rice balls instead.

I made some udon with miso soup and mushroom [first attempt!!] and while we were eating the foodstuff, of course there were some catching to be done since the 1 week break was ending.

There was some new people who came to join us and we got to know them a little. There was Anna, Nata's "cousin". Why " "? because they are not exactly related. But rather they become cousins due to the union of their uncle and aunty in marriage recently. So they became cousins. Then there was Lisa, who is my parents' supplier's daughter. To cut short, she's my friend now. She's the girl who is staying with my uncle currently.

There was a lot of photo-taking as usual! We had wanted to play a japanese commonfolk game. However, due to time constraint and that some of the people had to go off, we had to cancel it.

When night came, Palm Garden was having its annual Mid-Autumn Celebration. And this year, Nata and I went to get tickets for the refreshments. We had some of the people joining us for it. Both of us had actually signed up for the pomelo eating competition, but because it wasnt a team event like the last time, so we backed out! Literally! Last minute!! They were already calling us. "Maureen Sutedja" obviously they read my name wrongly! So made use of the excuse. Thank God no one [except us] recognise my surname. Then came nata's turn " Natalia LaWN". It was also pronounced wrongly since her surname is Lauw. BUT the maids and our neighbour recognised her! [hahaha.. evil laugh... sorry nat!]

We got bored and then started our photo-taking [again!] with the lit lanterns and our whistling spraklers at the koi pond! It was so fun! I kept taking with the SLR and digital one. A lot of nice poses and great pictures in the SLR! The digital one also had but not as many as the one in SLR. In between we were attentive when it was time for lucky draw! Too bad we didnt win anything. But we got crazy and started this cheering [like those as if we are the winner] thing each time a number is mentioned. After the activity had ended, we took more pictures! I was so happy to be taking the pictures with the SLR. However, I got so sad, when I realised that the stupid me didnt put any negatives in the SLR!!! All that picture taking and all the great pictures that I took had all gone up in smoke! It was the anti-climax! I was really very disappointed. It's like I was so happy at one moment, and the next I just felt so sad!

It was really stupid. But we had fun! And the memory will always linger in my mind.

My term break is coming to an end! And this is bad! The whole week hasnt really studied. Up to date i've only managed to finish 1 tutorial! Im hoping to clear 2 more by tomorrow. Hopefully it can be done.

This time round, i really do try to revise and try to catch up with work, although i felt it was little studying. But i do hope that i can do better this sem! Talking about it, exams will be in 2 months time! I have another 7 weeks of studying before the exams start! Argh the nightmare.

And as usual, I'm still in a christmas-y mode!! =) Just feeling so high that it's gonna be Christmas sooN! And i want a white christmas again!!!

just came back from elaine's!

well the initial intention was to go over for dinner and to take some stuff from her. While i was waiting for nata [wanted to go back together from town] we played mahjong with her mum in law. It was a friendly game.. but her luck is too darn good! I lost very very very badly!! argh and the thing is i couldnt recoup anything! throughout 2 rounds of game, i won twice only that's all!!! can u imagine. Ended up nata went home first while i tried to recoup some losses! But yeah even elaine ended up losing too!

Well the good thing is that at least her mum in law is very happY! once in a while get her to be happy lah. Thank god i wasnt playing against elaine's parents.. I think i will probably be working as a maid there!

Finally the Idol saga has ended... and yeah Hady has emerged as the new Sg Idol winner [as expected]. Jonathan played it cool and let loose and had a lot of fun today! And in fact, when he lets himself loose and just had fun, he sounded so much better than Hady. But too bad!

But that wasnt really the climax of the Idol. It was more of nata getting high over idol. U see turns out that her shuai ge was involved since he was in NUS SSO and they were performing that night. For that split second, we were shocked! And at the same time, we just went " isnt that.....!!!!!!" so our eyes werent playing tricks!! Nata instantly transformed into a grasshopper, hopping and hopping ard the house! After that hopping, she went back to the telly and glued her eyes there hoping to catch another glimpse but then there wasnt another split second.

After the idol has ended she got really high and was in a damn good mood! well that's love... love does make people go crazy right! =)... But my friend remember...... reality yah! =)

guess which is me?? obvious right...













who's this?? i dont even recognise who's that nerd!!!




how time flies.... looking back it's quite scary how nerd i look! arghh...

Who's Your Anime Boyfriend?


Hosted by theOtaku.com: Anime. Done right.

the biggest joke of the year..

me and nata went down for lunch today. then after lunch, since i always accompanied her to her busstops, this time i asked her to accompany me and it turns out that she couldnt since she didnt bring key. Which means i have to walk her home and open the door for her. Until i realised, that i, too didnt bring my keys! So stupid i tell u! Nata still thought that i was kidding! Which i did not! we called our house owner but he wasnt at home so he couldnt open the door for us till late at night! Fei is at work. Nata was in a appropriate attire this time but then her slippers were those to go to the markets kind! So going down to Shenton Way was a bit inappropriate.

THank god we met one of the maids that used to get locked out too! SO she asked us to go to management office to do it. And yeah we parted with 10 bucks to get the door opened. It was really silly i tell u!!!

Both of us got locked out!!!! man.....

Now we need to put spare keys at hidden corners i tell u!

rainbow connection

Why are there so many songs about rainbows

And what's on the other side?

Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,

And rainbows have nothing to hide.

So we've been told and some choose to believe it

I know they're wrong, wait and see.

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered

When wished on the morning star?

Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,

And look what it's done so far.

What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing

And what do we think we might see?

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

All of us under its spell,

We know that it's probably magic...

... Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices?

I've heard them calling my name....

Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?

The voice might be one and the same

I've heard it too many times to ignore it

It's something that I'm s'posed to be...

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

Laa, da daa dee da daa daa,

La laa la la laa dee daa doo...

-----------------

I've always love hearing this song. it nevers bore me once.

My term break is coming and I'm going to have to take this time to study and revise my work. Term break pretty much means that the exams are coming sooN! I have to put in extra hard work to make a grade this time. It also means i have to start on my reports quickly.

a valuable lesson for life..

some weeks ago, i come to know [not sure whether from cell group, my disciple group or sermon] of a certain fact that we all have to be still responsible for our actions or wrong-doings even if the Lord has forgiven us. This is the one thing that the Lord would not overcome for us. We still have to face the consequences of our actions but in time He will give us blessings. It's something that I was amazed at since He has the power to do anything yet we still have to face the consequences no matter how repentant we are. This is what i call responsibility!

then of all things, this thing actually happened to me. In one of the business deal, i made a mistake [the other party is also of guilt, but blamed it all on me] and ended up having to fork out money from my own pocket to pay for it. It was sad at first but i thought, this is the consequence of my own actions and im sure that the Lord has something in plan for me already. I just left it all to Him to deal and solve my problem. It was solved and I didnt really feel a burden at all since I shared it with Him. He also blessed me after the ordeal.

One guy called me the other day and asked my help for a gift of a certain event. He represented one of the hall in uni and i tot it was my friend who recommended me. But it turns out to be from his friend from another uni. And i was quite amazed as to how the words spread. He didnt mention who of his friend that has recommended me but I take it that God was the one that brought him to me.

THat's why i learn that setbacks are nothing but a time to access our weakness. It is a way how God teach us. In every setbacks, there will always be a door opened for you. And i believe that in every problem, I cannot rely just on my own strength to solve it. My best solution is always in seeking the wisdom of the Lord to help me tide through it.

This video montage was made last year. It was one of those that really made me feel so blessed! Every year, i will always look towards christmas whenever it's getting closer to October. But seeing this video reminds me how Christmas is the season of the heart. Christmas is about having people around you to share, give and pass on the joy of it. It's the company that matters.

This video never fails to touch me, even to others. And im really looking forward to Christmas again at this moment.

=]

Had my test today, it went okay (at least initially that's what i thought!) until i realise how i've used the wrong formula!!! But i think there should be working mark awarded. It was 20% of final and i just hope that the lecturer were lenient.

The Campus Crusade had a sports day held today. Just the engineering section and the science fac. When i heard of this i had wanted to go but then today, I felt quite tired since i didnt get that much sleep the previous night despite my long day! But im pretty glad that I went, cos it was really fun! I got to meet new people from the other faculty and it was a nice refreshing breather from the usual study stuff, especially after my test. We played Captain's Ball! And yeah my team won. The team comprises of guys and girls from both faculty, it was fun to see all of us not knowing one another being in one team and played together. During the break we get to know one another a little better.

And the highlight is...... I got to know this guy! Initially when we were playing in the court, I thought he was very aggressive just like the usual guys. I was a bit turn off lah cos we are all girls, he need not play till that aggressive. But then after the break, I became the "net" and he was guarding me. During that time, we talked and i actually find him to be quite a nice guy. [not bad looking but also not shuai, for those who is curious!] He's from science faculty, year 1 student. Despite he's aggressiveness, he's actually quite gentle and very nice to talk to. He left me quite a good impression. Then when the game was over, some of us felt like the game time were too short. My friend wanted me to accompany her to play basketball with the guys and he was also playing. Well during the games he sort of caused a bit of injuries here and there, but as you guys have always known me, I am also very clumsy whenever i play games. He kept apologizing (so cute!) and apologizing. After the game, we talked a bit and then i was supposed to go for dinner with all of them but the usual anti-social me, i went home. I still have a lot to do since i got tutorial tomorrow. Furthermore they are going to somewhere not so convenient for me to go home. So yeah that's the end of the story! I just thought that he was pretty interesting but too bad he's in Science. Science and Engineering faculties are both at the extreme ends of NUS. So the chances of meeting is very slim. =)

just physically so drained out and emotionally down too! aided with the PMS.. my mind just goes haywired... i shd just concentrate for the test tomorrow.

=[ hate the feeling... just writing it down but yeah i cant seem to jot it down in words. Oh well, i shall assume im thinking too much into things. Just hate the feeling.. argh...

bleah... dont ask...


haiz all my project groups sucks.. just realised that the HR module group is much much worse than my design module.. i just know me and raina is in such deep shit... f***...

Yay... just one more step to getting my license! Now i just need to find a driving instructor and get my practical date. Finally the long awaited day has arrived! I do regret of not having done this earlier. =p Oh well what matters is im gonna get that license very soon!

My chilli crab was successful!!! At first try somemore... Hmmm it was really satisfying!! and yeah the killing of the crab was a bit .... but yeah i had fun! the process made nata and qkho, who was around, to evacuate to the pool side... the chilli was giving out a bit too much oil which made us all sneezing like mad.. But yeah it was fantastic! =) was really happy when it turns out well!

today is defintely a nice day to just laze at home! Just look at the fine weather. A windy afternoon! Just the perfect weather to stay home and just read up, chit chat, hang around. And that's what we [mei is here for a stayover] did.

talked to stef for a while and yeah all we talked abt was online shopping. very bad!!! the 2 of them can go on and on on shopping! while me i just sit at another corner, reading up and doing questions and revising my work. But yeah the company for the afternoon is really good! and nothing beats a lazy afternoon spending the time with my 2 best friends. it's good with skype! at least it just feel that stef is nearby.

actually im pretty tired now.. haha feel like taking nap [yeah then stef will nag at me again for napping] but cant blame right. The weather is just too perfect. =)

"Lips Of An Angel"

Honey why are you calling me so late

It's kinda hard to talk right now

Honey why are you crying is everything okay

I gotta whisper cause I can't be too loud

Well, my girl's in the next room

Sometimes I wish she was you

I guess we never really moved on

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name

It sounds so sweet

Coming from the lips of an angel

Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye

But girl you make it hard to be faithful

With the lips of an angel

It's funny that you're calling me tonight

And yes I've dreamt of you too

And does he know you're talking to me

Will it start a fight

No I don't think she has a clue

Well my girl's in the next room

Sometimes I wish she was you

I guess we never really moved on

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name

It sounds so sweet

Coming from the lips of an angel

Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye

But girl you make it hard to be faithful

With the lips of an angel

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name

It sounds so sweet

Coming from the lips of an angel

Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye

But girl you make it hard to be faithful

With the lips of an angel

(And I never wanna say goodbye)

But girl you make it hard to be faithful

With the lips of an angel

Honey why are you calling me so late
