I can't believe my cousin who used to jump onto me every time she sees me this this tall and big now..

Why is she so chio?

And why is Singapore so chio??

This view is from the golf club at kallang there.. There were so many unrecognizable buildings like the new botanic gardens which look like something that belonged to science fiction movies..

Even day time is so pretty at my aunt house there!!

Hee my cousin's cousin who is not my cousin..

The super awesome sunset view..

I got 3 exams consecutively and i'm like not studying at all these days cuz I know how close I am to end of academic life and I am buffering to get used to next phrase of my life where studying (for exams) is no longer needed XDDD

Anyway I was trying very hard to catch some sleep in the morning cuz I will be having exam afterwards and was very grumpy when my dad came in and threw something on my bed which woke me up when I was so near to falling asleep.. I just ignored the "thing" that landed on my blanket and went to sleep, thinking it could be food that he brought back from his US trip..

When I finally woke up the "thing" was already on the floor due to me tossing unconsciously.. I picked it up and i was like OMG IT WAS A COACH BAG..

(oh my gosh the bag just blend into my shirt and made my shelf the centre of the photo =.=''')

My dad mentioned to me about getting a good bag but I didn't want cuz I dun need it as a student and plus I rather buy one myself using my own money when I work next time, but he bought it for me from US!! Its like the first branded bag I actually got and I so excited just by looking at it!!!

:D

(And no I dun have branded stuff unless someone insist that H&M or forever 21 is considered as BRANDED, the most expensive bag I got is the river island bag i got from UK last year, other than that, my bags all ranges from 10-70 sing dollars.
Anyway this post is not to show off but to appreciate how my dad love me despite our relationship being bad..)

The purpose of having a conversation with a person is because I want to say something or because I feel bored, whatever the reason is, the purpose was never to get myself pissed off.. But this person consistently piss me off and I had being tolerating like forever.. I don't care if that person is reading this blog or not, I need to vent my anger and let my readers know how pathetic this person is.. 

Let this person be Ms P a.k.a Ms Pathetic..

Ms P is so persistant on little details that I find her more annoying than a 3 year old kid (at least the kid could be cute)..

kw is me and P is her in all the "conversations" that follows..

(All the conversation below are not the original text as they have being edited to provide an example)

kw: Haha sian.. (sian=bored)

P: sian?

kw: haha nth just feel like saying that..

P: hahas sian?

kw: oh i mean im bored

P: ohhhh hahas.. sian?

kw: sian means bored 

P: ohhhh hahas.. but why u say sian?

kw: ohh nth lah.. when u going to singapore? (trying to change topic)

P: 18th may.. y? (SHE LOVE ASKING WHY)

kw: just asking, sry i keep forgetting..

P: hahas.. so why sian?

-END-

Im just gonna end here cuz this can go on and on..

There was once whereby a retarded conversation went on for 2 days.. I got sick of replying already but she was so persistant!!

The background information was that I was supposed to meet 2 groups of friends, from 10-2pm then from 4-6pm.. P knows about my morning appointment but not the afternoon one..

In the morning P messaged me and I told her I was too lazy to go out and meet my friends..

P: u skipped the meeting?

kw: ya i cant wake up

P: lols u arh.. whole day nothing to do u still dun go meet up..

(after that I went for my afternoon appointment before replying)

kw: i reply u later im with my friends

P: I thought your gathering with ur friends end at 2pm?

(I didnt reply her until at night after my dinner with my family outside, and I cant be bothered to explain to her I meeting 2 different groups of people, like as if i have to tell her about all the events in my life)

kw: i finally back, went to have dinner with my family

P: I thought u meeting your friend?

kw: Yup after i meet my friends

P: Thought u no longer meeting your friends?

kw: haha some people always see one can afford to miss the gathering some people cannot ma..

P: But you told me they end at 2pm.. right? 

WHAT THE HELL DO I NEED TO REPORT EVERY SINGLE DETAIL OF MY DAILY ITINERARY? Even if I do its not her that I must report to! The conversation could have well stopped at the dinner part.. 

There were just so much conversations that shows how ignorant and self-absorbed she is.. Next time I should just ask her to talk to the hand, or maybe a finger..

Time flies when I am in Singapore...

There are so much pent up feelings inside that I needed a place to rant!! But I don't know where to start and how to say.. 

 I just hoped that those uncertainties in life can settle down..
He can settle down and be determined in doing what he promised to do..
She can settle down instead of looking out for adventures..
He can settle down and give a definite answer..
I can settle down instead of not knowing what to do everyday..

Be very jealous :D

Thankyou

I'm shedding skin like a snake and I can't resist peeling it!!!!

Okay i think the philippines trip succeeded in achieving its purpose to a certain extent, can't be asking for more.. But then don't let me know about all those feelings of yours okay..

I'm de-skinned, and itchy all over, but it hurts when i tried to scratch my sunburn, what should I do?

But it has gotten better, few days ago I could hadly move, but i was better than karl who is as red as lobster and better than edward who ended up in hospital being bandaged up..

Anyway just saw quan's blog post "I SHALL NOT WATCH NEW DRAMA FOR THE NEXT 14 WEEKS ( till end of my exams)." seriously 睁眼说瞎话..

Off to philippines during reading week!!

Actually before I even went i made a super huge mistake which cost me 1.8k HKD!! I went to the wrong counter when I get my boarding pass and the staff told me I dont have a booking with them.. So I panicked cuz if I dont catch this flight I would miss my transiting flight, so I got tickets with them, in another words I double booked my plane to manila, one with Cebu pacific and another one with philippines airline (crap I didnt realise this till the last day of my trip).. And the new ticket costed me 1.8k, I could have went back to sg!!!

Anyway by the time we reached Tagbilaran its already the afternoon, we went for a quick swim..
Although we were welcomed with rain just 1 minute after walking out of tagbilaran airport, it was the only time it rained during the whole trip.. At night I had Lapu-Lapu fish by the beach..

The next day, Karl, Edward and I continued to go to the beach to chill out while zona, bill and felix went diving..
Time for some sun tanning!Karl kept insisted that the green coconuts are mutants of the "real" coconuts which is supposed to be brown LOL..
Karl was red like a lobster by the end of the second day! (He was worse after the snorkeling trip on thursday)Then afterwards Felix and the rest came back from their diving and joined us..Even the sunset is so pretty at the alona beach..That night, cuz it was our last night in tagbilaran, we decided to go for a drink at the beach..

We got like more than 10 litres of beer and some cocktails and played some drinking game with poker cards, crap I forgot the name of the game..

Halfway through the game, I had to go to the toilet so I went to the one at a local bar.. The toilet was at the end of a corridor which was totally dark, when I wanted to leave the toilet, a local came and helped me switch off the light of the toilet, then he started to be touchy.. Luckily I wasnt drunk so I escaped..

Anyway Zona was super drunk after that and Felix had to carry her back to the hostel.. Karl drank the most and was quite drunk as well while the rest of us were still okay..

The third day we traveled from Tagbilaran to Daumagaute..

Then very quickly it was the last day where we went to an island called Apo island for diving/snorkeling..

Apo island..Inside the boat, the rest of the people getting ready for their dives, Edward, Karl and I just stayed for snorkeling cuz I didnt have diving cert..

I saw like sea cucumber, sea urchin, starfishes, nemo and many other more fishes which I had no idea wats their names..

下了决定的决心居然是那么不堪一击..

I think mianmian know it better than anyone, I am not rational at all and I can go on ranting about something for really long but will not have any constructive conclusion in the end.. I love to think excessively and 钻牛脚尖, push myself to the limit then realize there is no way out..

It has being so exhausting to keep thinking and thinking and thinking.. Usually at night its the hardest, but I goes to bed really early to avoid, so morning became toughest for me since I know I got another day to survive with all the thoughts weighing down on me..

Then I decided I should spare a thought for myself, and do something that I should have done more than a month ago.. Haven't I gotten enough hints that this is the right thing to do?! Shouldn't I find back the pride that I misplaced when I lost control?!

Thank you for making the already so fantastic experience there even better..

Thank you for letting me know how to 拿得起，放得下..

Anyway something really exciting to blog about!!! Despite me having 5 midterms and 1 super difficult assignment due right after my reading week, I am going to philippines during the 1 week sem break!!!!

I am going to Bohol island then Cebu for diving and snorkeling! But I think I wun have enough time to pick up diving course so i will substitute it with swimming =)

Bohol Beach I am coming!!!!

What can I do when I am having terrible mood swings =(

I had never ever wanted a semester to pass to fast before, although I know like this is my last semester in school and i should be treasuring it, but some how i want time to quickly pass!!!!!

Then I realized few days ago, after tahan-ing this sem, I can go back to singapore!!! No more for 2 weeks each time! But like for as long as I want (provided that I find my job)..

A slave is under the dominance of a free man..

There are some things that I know very well shouldn't be said, somethings shouldn't be so hair splitting, but Im so not disciplined..

Feeling sooooo lazy, I know I shouldn't bring my lazy habits from bergen to hk.. Better start doing something constructive soon..

Went for management accounting tutorial today, and the grade of the course has 10% made up of class participation, which equates to "hand raising competition".. Students spend all the effort and attention on trying to be the first to raise their hand immediately after the tutor read finish the question.. Its like some kind of TV games, can't i just attend the tutorial in peace?

Well but if this forced enthusiasm make them happier..

Chinese New Year Week

Its the CNY week.. On cny eve the whole family went out for dinner with our only relative in the family, i.e. my grandmother's sister's granddaughter's family who had just migrated to HK to send their child for education..
My grandparents!

During dinner the relatives kept asking me about my life during exchange, and then i had to recall everything that i don't dare to think about.. Got a little out of my mind afterwards but then felt much better after skyping with FOEs =)

Our once a year skype gathering, playing viwawa and isketch.. Serene Nally Quan MianMian Kenneth were all there!

Happy Chinese New Year!!

My dog Sparky had grown much bigger but still as cute! He is not toilet trained though, always does his business as he like in my room =(

First 2 days of CNY is just gathering with relatives, the same relative over and over again though..

BBQ at their house..

On third day of Chinese new year, Yvonne Ivy and Jason came to my house for our first gathering ever since we come back from bergen! (Although this is the 3rd time i meet yvonne already haha)

I do hope the song about icecream will leave stop haunting me soon.. XD

I am not courageous enough to dance in the rain, so I am waiting for the storm to be over..

Lastly, Eejia is here in HK with me XD

Exactly one week since i left Bergen..

Jetlag so much that i wake up at weird hours, 2am, 3am, 6am or 4pm..

I subconsciously speak cantonese to eejia and other singaporeans without realizing..

CNY is so boring that i went to jetstar website just to get surprised by the airtickets to sg during this period of time..

Want to spend more time doing things and spend less time thinking but i don't even have the energy and motivation in the first place..

Lastly, its time to repay the debt which I accumulated..

So exhausted yet so alert..

29/12/11

Left for the airport in the early morning, my boarding pass says that the gate closes at 6.20am so I estimate myself to arrive at the airport at 5.30am. But when I reached the platform to take the train which get me to Gatwick airport, the damn 4.59am train was being cancelled and the next train that comes will be at 5.22am, which means I will not be able to reach the airport until at least 5.45am! That leave me with a freaking 35mins to do my luggage check in, passport and security check in and the long walk to the boarding gate as usual for all the budget planes.

Okay I told myself not to panic cuz the gate closing time is actually the unofficial time to start allowing passengers to board the plane.

When I reached the counter to check in my luggage, I was like wtf when I saw the damn queue. Like the snake game I once played on those classic nokia phones, there were layers and layers of people! Luckily I get to cut queue after queuing for a while cuz I left a freaking 30mins before my boarding gate closes, chi ma gum.

Okay anyway, I thought everything will be fine after skipping the queue to check in, but the lady at the counter told me I had to be charged 25 pounds for my check in luggage! But my impression was that I had asked kar to help me pay for the luggage so why isn’t there any record?! I had no time to reconfirm anyway so I passed her my Norway visa card to pay for it since she said she accept visa. But later she told me it doesn't work and I didn't had 25 pounds of cash with me obviously because im not returning to UK in the next I dunno how many years!

I had to rush to the nearest cash machine to withdraw money and rush back to the counter, only to be told by her that I had to go to another counter for the payment.. By then my face was like damn black already..

Okay so I went to queue at the other counter and there were this (I guess its Spanish) couple in front of me asking and discussing what kind of air tickets to buy! I stepped forward because I wanted to ask the counter lady if she could process my payment first then this another random guy beside was telling me that she had to serve the other customer first. I’m like walau can't you freaking see the anxiety on my face! I got 10 mins before my boarding gate closes and I can’t even try to make a reasonable request?! I wasn’t like insisting the people in front to get out of the way or what, I didn't even open my mouth and you accuse me of being uncivilized?! WALAU SCREW YOU.

Okay so anyway after waiting for about 2 minutes which seemed like ages to me, I asked the counter lady if she could process my payment first while the couple make up their decision, she told me its not possible. My goodness can’t they be a bit more flexible?! If not be more efficient please!!!!

Finally its my turn (with 5 mins left to the time my boarding gate close) and every part of my body itches to see her move at her own sweet time and doing everything at a slow pace! I was like im gonna file a complaint if I miss my flight cuz of this. Like how she slowly processed the previous couple’s payment, she had no sense of urgency!! KNS 5 MINS LEFT TO RUSH TO MY BOARDING GATE SO STOP WASTING MY TIME!!!

After that I hardly had time to look at my watch, I rushed back to the counter where I check in my luggage, then rush to the security check, then rush to my boarding gate which is super far away, probably half an airport away. And for the first time I was glad they weren’t punctual in the boarding gate time.

Early in the morning suffered a chain of unfortunate event giving me almost a heart attack. Really gosh =.=
