hmm oh ya, today is teacher's day.. how can i ever forget my teachers. the ones that put up with all my nonsense. the ones that always had the passion and patience in teaching students like me. okay, if u were wondering.. i was a good student alrite. hahas! anyone dares to beg to differ.. lol.. anyway i think i said it last yr too lah, but i dun think there is such a day in nz. haha mayb the pple here appreciate their teachers every single day.. to cut the long and whinning story short, happy teacher's day to all the teachers out there! ;) a good time to rest and get pampered by ur students. i vividly recall what my primary 3 and 4 form teacher telling us that whatever u become in future, dun ever become a teacher. and that have basically got stuck in me for the rest of my years till this day. i guess the main reason is cos students always 'suck the teacher's blood', not handing in homework, misbehaving in class, talking when teacher is talking etc. hahas! and this was said by my fav teacher in primary school. at that time she was known as Miss Gaw Cheng Eng. I dunno about now though, might have gotton married or something. anyway she left fairfield pri a long time ago and from then onwards, i must admit that i have stopped visiting fairfield primary. hmm and also lost contact with those that went off to different secondary schools.. anyway we shld treasure our teachers.. they have really put in a great deal of effort in nurturing us and ensuring we know our syllabus and to be prepared for the exams. HAPPY TCHR'S DAY!!!

guess what? singapore is building the luge at sentosa. that's super copy-cat or copy-dog manz.. the skyline and luge is queenstown's only attraction beside the bungy and ski fields. how copy can that be? and mayb the next thing u'll know is that there would be a new disneyland or movie/sea/dream world. i mean, its alright that the country is looking at progress and bring in revenue. but then, this is not the right way to do it. one should always be original rite. yup yup, plagarism! the worst thing is tht its called sentosa luge. well, at least change the name or something. seriously, i can forsee queenstown's popularity going down. who wouldnt wanna go to the nearer place to play the luge rather den come all the way down south. oh, unless its for the fantastic scenery kiwi-land have to offer. hahas! pardon me, this hasnt really settled in yet. give me some time and i'll deal with it. ;)

cranky me, i dunno what i'm doing too. hahas! ;)

i miss all u pple.. hope we can meet up soon.. =)

today's post will be a series of unrelated events all strung up into one post. bear with me ya.

apparently, i think there are many more pple out there reading my blog. so this cant really be too personal. i mean, u never know whether or not ur family pple are secretly reading ur blog aye.. anywho.. its been a rather busy day at school. yes we are having our one week break but then there are heaps of stuff to get done. bioc and more bioc..

yesh, and today's sesame street is brought to you by the number 3. this is a very significant number, cos why.. its ermm a prime number.. hahas.. of course not only that, its my favourite number. duh..

its been a rather krappy day today. too many things have happened or i should say is happening. krapp. anyway, tomorrow will be better aye. let's just wait and see what happens.

btw in a totally unrelated event, it was until one of my cousins (yes michellina, its u lar.. my fav couz!) tagged my board that i realised that almost all of their names begins with M or C, except me, my bro and another cousin. hahas.. wierd aye.. i wonder if everyone planned it together or something.

oh yes before i forget.. its funny how kiwis are so proud of their rugby teams. well i'm proud too lar.. but then its really their pride. u can hear and see it for urselves. i was in the bus on my way back home and a bunch of pple just gathered and talked abt the game on saturday. of how wonderful the team played and who scored a try and so on. hahas.. anyway i'm proud of them too. its a pity Daniel Carter broke his fibula and wont be recovering that fast. its a fracture u know.. but yeah heres wishing him a speedy recovery. haha they beat south africa 31-27.. yippeee.. go All blacks! u rock..

alritey.. enuff for the day..

Goodness gracious me. i just found out some shocking news. okay, its not just as in just.. but the night before. some girl from fairfield passed away in school. apparently she suddenly fainted and her heart stopped beating. and it just crossed my mind what are the red cross pple doing manz.. never commence cpr.. it just goes to show how fragile life can be and u never know when ur time is gonna be up. hence, one should treasure those that u have by ur side and not to take them for granted.

I'm at campus now after a long morning doing bioc. haha and there is something wrong with this key board over at burns. the space-bar is not springy enuff.. heh. oh yes and did i mentioned, saw that someone look-alike again today. i was like aye.. but nothing come out of my mouth.. hahas.. too slow i suppose, rite bel. lol.. anyway, after this is back to more bioc again.

OKays, let's get down to business.. i shall start blogging about the past week. havent been blogging much lately becos i have been busy. DUH?! hahas, that's not the point. Point is, i have been going to unipol from mon to thurs and fri i didnt.. cos was just too exhausted. peng! lectures and all were just normal. nothing much to say about them, we shall just talk about the interesting events that happen.. oh yes, before i forget.. nad, bel and i supposedly had our study group and what did we ended up doing? yes! we ended up laughing out butts off the chairs and talking. which was quite cool, considering it as our first session of being accountable to each other. but it was great! we started to come up with surnames starting from A to Z, afterwhich it was names from Z to A. and then we came to a particular topic aye.. abt guys.. hahas! that was funny.. oh wells, hope to have more girlie-talk soon.. its nice sitting together once in a while and talking about everything under the sun. really appreciate u guys, thanks for listening to me rant and krap. for tolerating all my nonsense and laughing at my not-so-lame jokes. other than that, the mid week was kinda bad. just wanna let u know that it affects me too.. but i'm glad that u are coping with it well. if u need anything just let me know.

on friday, we had movie night -- showing the movie: I do, I do. some singaporean jack neo show. i think it was raintree productions, not sure abt that. it was really ultra funny. Kudos to the producer and script-writer. who else can ever think of such a wonderful storyline. yeah and before that, we had like dinner at sampan or was it supposed to be at friendly. anyway the food was superb! at first it did felt a lil wierd cos i didnt know anyone there except for nad and also cos my physics lab demonstrator was there too. but as pple started coming in, it all warmed up and it was alrite i guess. oh yes, did i mentioned a someone look-alike too. yar, and it was raining cats and donkeys too. that was something out of the ordinary. never does it rained like there was no tomorrow in dunedin before. or should i say for as long as i've been here.

then came saturday. went for homegroup in the evening. i must say its more of socialising over dinner and supper. had singspiration and games in addition to the food glorious food. again, that someone look-alike was there. i shant say who for the whole world will know abt it, but if u know just shhhh.. had heaps of fun there, just enjoying the fabulous company, laughing away.. oh yes, thank you josh koh for giving me a ride back though its kinda out of the way ya. dont think u will be reading this though, but ya i really appreciate it lots. yup yup, cos i was kinda tired and martin wasnt going back so early, but he was so sweet in asking me if i wanna go back already. (if u are wondering, its on the way back to his place) thanks anyway. more importantly, i've made more friends and got to know pple more. =)

yippeee.. on another note, its the start of the one week hols. though short, but at least there is time to study for bioc terms. Thank God for the break. seriously, if not i would have been overwhelmed by the four booklets of notes. it seems little here i know, but its thirty-two lectures for ur information. and just a short space of dunno how many weeks of school. anywho, its a well-deserved break. i shall continue another time yar.. =)

The Untouched World.. =)
i've decided to put some magnificent scenery pics of moo-moo/baa-baa land. enjoy!

Got this off friendster, courtesy of nad. opps, i made a lil changes.

LOVE IS WHEN
you wake up, he is already on your mind.
LOVE IS WHEN
you miss he all the time.
LOVE IS WHEN
you want to call him & see if he's alright.
LOVE IS WHEN
you're lost and he is all that you can find.
LOVE IS WHEN
you worry about him everywhere he goes.
LOVE IS WHEN
you want to protect him from harms way.
LOVE IS WHEN
you look at him and say .. "I love u"
LOVE IS WHEN
you tell the world that you love him.
LOVE IS WHEN
you have told the world but "HE" does not know.
LOVE IS WHEN
your eyes light up when you see him there.
LOVE IS WHEN
your heart-breaks when he's mad at you.
LOVE IS WHEN
you crumbled inside when he has doubts abt you.
LOVE IS WHEN
you learn to smile even when u're crying inside.
LOVE IS WHEN
you melt with a kiss from him.
LOVE IS WHEN
you hug him and everything will be fine.
LOVE IS WHEN
his happiness is what matters most to you.
LOVE IS WHEN
you are willing to do anything to make him happy.

LOVE IS WHEN
you will still love him and still he will neverknow...

yet...love is a funny thing...

LOVE IS WHEN
you smile when you hear its "him and him" no more...
LOVE IS WHEN
you try to "BUMP" into him again...

LOVE IS SUDDENLY TRUE LOVE
when he says he loves you too.
LOVE IS SUDDENLY TRUE LOVE
when his life revolves around you.
LOVE IS SUDDENLY TRUE LOVE
when he says, he has always loved you but he didn't dare to..
LOVE IS SUDDENLY TRUE LOVE
when he says, he always loved you but thought you didn't care..
LOVE IS SUDDENLY TRUE LOVE
when now it's all coming true.
LOVE IS SUDDENLY TRUE LOVE
when you love him and he loves you...!
LOVE IS SUDDENLY TRUE LOVE
when now your life is nearly complete.
LOVE IS SUDDENLY TRUE LOVE
when everyday its him you meet.
LOVE IS SUDDENLY TRUE LOVE
when your family and friends accept him too.
LOVE IS SUDDENLY TRUE LOVE
when you can have time for them and him and you.

LOVE is a combination of many splendor things...
and a really complex feeling.
so be brave in loving that special someone and
show them that you really care. If you have
problems in your relationships, try and fix them.
Dont pretend its okay and ignore it.Dont push your
girl/guy away, if they are everything to you, maybe the
best thing for you is to Listen to them, and treat them
like they deserve, go out of your way once in a
while for them, to make them feel special. take
care of them when they are sad, and never let go.
Cause you never know u might be letting go of the
only ONE guy of your life.

PS: i made some minor adjustments. like changing all the she to he and the her to him. lol..

went for this speech thingy at ELIM yesterday. Just listening to Ian McCormack's amazing testimony was just amazing. Hilarious in a way, but on a serious note, it was really an eye-opener. Never did i realise that there were still many of these near death experience that many pple out there have experienced. But this is different, he actually died for 15 minutes or so and woke up in the morgue. reminds me of the show: Tru Calling. In one way or the other, it does. Anyway, he was stung by a highly poisonous jellyfish while going night-diving one day. A bite from one of this jellyfish is enough to kill a person within 10-15 minutes. And he was actually bitten by five of these! can u imagine that. He speaks of his experiences from the time he got stung to how he finally got to the hospital, how this audible voice keep prompting him and keeping him alive, how he prayed the Lord's prayer from his heart in the ambulance and accepted christ, what he experienced in heaven and hell and the new earth, and the peace, joy and radiance he felt in heaven. His testimony sort of shook me awake and kept me pondering of what my purpose here on earth is. I believe our sole purpose here on earth is not just to enjoy life, but to spread the word of God to more pple and be a blessing to others. It's a scary thought to think how the other religions are getting so widespread in just a matter of a few years. This is not a good sign manz. It means we'll just have to work harder as there are many more non-believers out there waiting for us to out-reach to them. Scary thought aint it. And at the end of my existance here on earth, i do want God to say: well done, my good and faithful servant.
anyway its homegroup meeting later. Yay, i'm loving it more each time i go for it.

I've come to realise something: the reasons why i come online so often!
Firstly, becos of all the uni stuff. i have to check my uni-mail frequently and also log into blackboard to do online assignments. This is highly neccessary! Work my dear.
Secondly, I come online to check my personal email. this is also forgivable cos that's one of the forms of internet speed communication.
Thirdly, I use the net to chat online with friends on msn. Due to time difference and unforseen circumstances, its rather difficult to keep tract of who is coming online at what time. As such, i try my best to keep in touch with my friends to the best of my ability. As hard as i try, i do not seem to be able to meet with some.
Fourthly, I keep going into friendster. Why? I have finally come to a conclusion on this matter. cos its the only way i get to see my friends' lastest picture, lastest updates etc.
And last but not least, to do this! BLOG. *toodles*

Alienated. Why cant things go back to the way it seemed? Somehow or rather, this seems right is some sense, yet in another way, it just doesnt. Change. A simple word with a simple meaning and its something that everyone longs for. But is this the change that i want? There are many things on my mind which i wish i can blab out in one post. Unfortunately, i seriously have no idea who might be reading it. (no offence) But ya, i guess that's just the way it seems. Someone once asked me a very thought-provoking question, which until this day i have yet to find an answer. I guessed i have finally found one. My conclusion, treasure whatever u have now. Cos u never know when its gonna slip pass u. Memories. This is something that u should forever hold dearly to ur heart. Once gone, they can never be urs again. Right, so i'm feeling nostalgic. Yes, by that i meant the other meaning. (that's if u get what i'm trying to mean here)hahas lol..this is just so krappy manz.
had a very long day today. started off with biochem lab. wasnt too bad, what's more i've got a very very good lab partner. its a girl if u are wondering. the other daniel carter look-a-like guy isnt in my lab anymore i think. havent seen him for the past two labs. so it goes, the seat opposite me is empty. hahas! after that had an hr of bio lecture and i finally get my one hr break. if i hadnt gone for physics the day before, it would mean that i dont have any break at all. anyway i had an hr of break, and it was off for physics lab. one things for sure, i totally detest physics lab. everyone there is so umm.. i dunno how to say. totally undescribable. who cares, i'm just there to do my work and off i go. one more physics lab to go. Unfortunately or Fortunately, its gonna clash with bioc lab again. krap! this is not the first time this is happening manz. aint this so terrible aye. time's flying by very quickly and i really am looking forward to my three and a half months visit back to the lil red dot. seriously i cant wait. its fast zooming by aye. and i've got to think of something productive to do within the few months other than chill. make some new resolutions and try to stick by it. be right back in most probably a few days time. heh.

its time to blog again before i head off for classes. this is gonna be a busy week, having all my labs this week. krapp. and to make this worse i'm having u know. okie, maybe its not a good place to type this. but yar.. a women's worst nightmare. hahas!
last sat, nad invited me and belinda for homegrp. and i'm so glad that i went. it was really very very good. hmm but then, i had always wanted to be part of a cell group. its so much fun mixing around and getting to know new people. expanding my circle of friends in dunedin. i cant wait for the next homegroup meeting. honestly, i've never felt so in place and at home before.

rachel's equation:
cool people + nice company = heaps of fun!

yippeee! oh yes and yani told me that she'll be on the same flight as me, bel and my mum and dad. sweet. but then, the sad thing abt this is that we're coming back on valentine's day. sigh aye.. not many pple will be sending us off, cos its v'day. hahas, den again who knows, there might be a romantic ambience on board the plane & there'll be heaps of chocs. who knows.. alrite, rache has enuff of krapping.

hi all. hahas! actually i dun really know what to blog about. its friday, which means that the weekends are here. *and rachel grins widely* cos the weekends mean that its catch-up time. that is on msn i mean. u know what i'm talking about! ok, enough abt that.
had a short day at school today. went for the early lectures and then headed to unipol for a short workout session. really need to train up my stamina and i guess that would be one step at a time. i believe nz is a gd place to train the stamina, the air is good and fresh. hahas! ran a little, cycled a little and rowed a little. more visits to the gym in the weeks and months to come. and yes, nad i owe u one! =)

picture courtesy of the ndp webbie. but why is it red berets?
its over, ndp is over and i didnt even get to see the parade live. krapp. it was so so laggy, seriously. i'll tell u the extent of it k. for eg when the contingents were getting ready for march pass, the com began to buffer. by the time, it buffered finish, the march-pass was over. rahhh! yup yup and the parade inspection. by the time the webby buffer finish, inspection was over and ready for march-pass. just when i thot i could get another glimpse, it started to buffer again when the navy or airforce were marching out. this seriously is krapp.
hahas and heard from my friends that they saw me on tv. lol, that was what we were hoping for aye. so cool.. nope, i'm not.. so now i suppose i'm known at the mrt gal. so 'paiseh'. i'm wondering what did they actually show? oh manz.. i suppose they didnt cut out any parts of it aye. tell me, tell me.
even though i'm not physically over there, but i can still take part in ndp. so unofficially this is my 3rd time at ndp. the first was the preview in p5, den marching in sec 3 or 2 (cant rmbr) and now this.. awesome!
hmm i should have stayed overnight in some cal, maybe i can still catch a glimpse. anyway any of u taped the show? do let me know ya..

guess what? i've brought forward my day of arrival. yay! went to change the airticket yesterday with belinda and also book the bus to chc. sch was alrite ytd just that we missed the 11am bioc and had to go for the 4pm one. which was alright, its my original timing anyway. yup yup, den had our mini study group.. hahas. and at the same time was planning our arrival plans in the days to come. it was hilarious i tell u. seriously, nad and belinda were just ultimate funny. and so we shall have our outings and heaps of fun.
anyway today is ndp. and i'm heading home to watch it live on the net. just hoping that the screen wouldnt be as small as the previous yr. yes! couldnt even make up the individual faces. well, this year i have a very important mission at ndp. lol
that is to: ...
yup yup. its a secret. on another note, exams are coming. semester two is zooming by faster than i can comphrehend. or maybe semester two is just shorter than semester one. i dunno and i cant be bothered to go and count. hahas! i just know its coming! cant wait to get back. cant wait to get back. and to reinforce again, i cant wait to get back! =)

happy 40th birthday singapore! a place where i can truely call home.

the supposed ndp celebrations were held today at evision lounge at clubs and socs. wasnt too bad actually.. love the food to bits.. there were heaps of glorious food, not only food, but mainly local food. well done pple! =) the funny thing is pple keep asking me, which food did i cook? but the problem is, i cannot answer.. cos i didnt cook them. i only sort of helped stir the desert to prevent it frm turning burnt. that's all.. nothing else.. sigh.. hmm, actually i feel kinda bad.. cos i didnt really socialise much, except with my few bunch of friends. well, we were busy watching the movie:'talking cock'.. my bro has been looking for this movie for a long time, and he asked me to borrow it from the person who brought it. the point is, i dun even know the person who brought it, so it'll be hard for me to borrow it. and from then, he looked kinda dissappointed. that's besides the point. our usual bunch of pple sat in front of the tv and ate, laughed and talked at the same time. haha my bro missed the movie sitting at the back of the room.
the food was great, the company was great, what more can i ask for.
as usual, u cannot help but hear all the singlish and local slang that comes out from all the conversations. and yes, we were debating on the way of saying 'paiseh'. krappish rite. i knew it, there are so many ways of saying it and i just love saying it with a dash of an englishy tone. sounds better than the hokkienish way.
yup, after that went back home and didnt do much thereafter. watched the first disc of chicken rice war only to find that the second disc wasnt there. hahas, its better to watch one disc den not watching it at all. okays! i'm consoling myself. i shall stop. den slacked for a wee while and started reading a book. whoa, i finished the book 'joy in the moment' and continued reading 'i kissed dating goodbye'. so its productive in this sense. alrites, will get back to my book soon.

this krap webbie here is pissing me off. i should say the html stuff, ok i admit i'm a html idiot. but still.. and the dumb tag-board aint working. what more can a blog be without its tag-board! i wanna tagg..
