(narh, im just doing a simple-simon-says... )

2006 was a year spent half in hall and half back at home. Living at home certainly brings an increment to the number of hours of work i can devot truly to work as compared to hall. I did zero ironing, zero laundry, zero sweeping, zero mopping in the later part of the year. Thanks Mum! But i also spent a significant amount of hours each day in front of the pandora's box.
Had a few weeks of term time adjusting to the lack-of-room-to-run-to-during-free-time. But all's well growing towards the end of the term. Have to thanks xl,zj and huimin!
Results wise? Haha.

Had a trip to Hongkong fully sponsored by myself. Thanks to the number of jobs i held on to, i was like a busy bee throughout the holidays. But each working experience is still an experience.. maybe not so adequate in terms of actualy work-knowledge kind of experience, but its nevertheless qt an experience to improve interpersonal relationship.

2006 found me with more courage to approach strangers and talk to them. Huimin and I were studying at Engin Macs one day for our signal tests and we walked over to J&J as a self-rescue attempt and to power up our question bank.
Huimin was also a stranger whom I met on the train one day.

It was also a year I found myself with emerging emotional stresses and strains each day and there were several counts of me refusing to go home after school and went for a walk alone. And hence my wish for next year is to catch more happy bugs! Retail therapy sometimes worked and hence I came up with a notebook with most of the spending receipts taped to it. It started the time i came back from my hongkong trip..
A work on the calculator amounted to SGD1877.3
excluding normal meals and transport..
Meaning it includes clothes, accessories, bag and lame stuff i bought to entertain myself,
the hongkong trip, textbooks, presents to foods, meals spent at restaurants, entertainment excluding movies, but inclusive of kbox sessions, mind cafe etc.
Even though this amount is only for the later part of FY, the bulk is from the hk trip and TEXTBOOKS!

End of closing

I woke up feeling sad today all because of a dream.
I dreamt that I was back in NUS, riding in the NUS ISB, moving from science to arts. The bus passed by the 1st stop of YIH and we saw smoke coming out from the overhead bridge that brings us from YIH to MPSH. Apparently, construction was going on over there and a small fire broke out. I saw a security officer rushing over there and apparently the NUS president rushed over there too. I saw people struggling to put out the fire using an extinguisher. But I ve seen none of the people in real life before.
I was sms-ing to joyce to tell her about what I saw when she told me she was in the ISB behind.
As the bus was between the 2nd YIH and Central Lib stop, I turned my head and witnessed a big explosion. Was a vivid clear image in the dream.
Somehow I got to know that both joyce and I managed to escape from death as our buses were already safely far behind at the site of explosion. In my dream, i still came up with a reason for the explosion. Apparently, the fire had elevated the temperature of some gas pipes running along the bridge and ignited the explosion. Woah.
I felt very sad for the people who died from the accident just because they just happened to be there when it occured and the people trying to salvage the fire. If the shuttle bus was any slower, I wouldnt have escaped at all.
I woke up feeling v sad even though it was jus a dream. Perhaps because thanks to pete who kept reminding me to treasure life through his nick, amplified by the real-life story in 1 litre of tears.
It was 7am when i woke and was lying on my bed thinking about the dream when suddenly the fan came to a stop. The filter motor in the fish tank stopped functioning. Yes, thats how drama. The lightbulb at the altar has fused and tripped the electricity of the entire house. So my mum phoned my dad who was at work and i did something to the safety-dunno-wad-device and power was back again.
I fell back to sleep.

pandora's box.

Just finished watching Rumour Has It starring Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Costner.
Nono, its not from peekvid or youtube or... u name it.
My sis borrowed the dvd from her friend.

does not matter where u r but who u're with.
I like the episode of triumph in the skies today and I know i ll like the one on Monday better :)

Next up: Keeping It Mum

random.

life's nothing more than a great joke.
u lament and cry and then laugh at what a great joke it has been.

okays.. so its been like 3 days after the release of results n im finally prepared to blog about it.
I thought the C+ from my SS will be the first and last i ll see in my transcript. Apparently no, ive no idea wad did i write during my fluid mechanics paper that had such detrimental effects.. owells, maybe its the mid-term then. From the other point of view.. it might have been slightly encouraging to see the no. of As growing each semester.

----

Just finished reading Marker. Quite a nice read and im glad i got on my hands on it after reading lsm1401 and py1105. Otherwise I wldnt have understood, like clement said, whats "pulmonary edema" and "microarrays" and more more more. Its a thriller but the suspense wasnt what I would have expected. I was rather more amazed by how the forensics did their pathology on the dead and the detailed description of the std procedures and how different people have died in ways that looked homicidal at first but examined to be accidental. Ya.. like how we say.. u cannot be definitive abt anything until concrete evidence proves it.
Wild guesses jus doesnt work.
If I were to forget everything from physio, hyper/hypokalemia is going to be the one thing I 'd remember and brillantly.. this was the basis of the manner of homicide.

----
i hope i'll catch a happy bug tmr.
----

so here comes the resolution for 2007 and its the first time im actually doing a resolution.
not in any specific order... in 2007.. i wan to:

- i said jus now, up the number of As nxt semester and no more of C+
- make it a habit to LISTEN
- be less irritatable
- be nicer to my parents and sibling
- to remember to switch off the lights of any room im leaving.
- be more persistent abt my jogging plans
- catch more happy bugs in 2007
- equip myself with a new skill, like.. i dunno what at the moment but will think of one as the yr progresses.

I'll wish everyone an early happy new year here.

Haha... Rmbr i said I ll post the pic of "the toy" up. I din 300 jumps with this.. （ u hook the circle with one ankle and spin the ball in horizontal circular motion and the other leg does the skipping whenever the string passes by.. )

my left knee was feeling all weird today cos of the wet and rainy weather i guess ( old liao... ) so i decided to let it do some stretching and exercise.

so i took my toy out and after tt my knee felt worse... so now i have 2 big tiger balm plaster over it.

完蛋

my usual left-eye double eyelid and right-eye single eyelid has evolved to right eye left eye both double eyelid. thanks to the more than adequate sleep i clock each day. when school term starts.. its gonna be the single eye double eyelid again. haha.

Been living on an unhealthy diet for the past few days, which means I ll need to eat more leafy
greens and less carbo for the next few days..

Caution: Dont read on if you are feeling hungry now.

It all started from the bbq from 1703 gathering and bbq at camp. Then the day after I came back from camp, I ate Ramly Burger from the interchange pasar malam cos my sis said was very nice + Crab Nuggets from Old Chang Kee for lunch. I think I had fried rice for dinner after that. No vege!
Then somehow the day we celebrated ct's birthday.. Had baked rice at V8 + plus some xxxx and then at night at Billy Bombers with Alex. Filled to the brim.
Then.. the next day after Joyce's concert I asked mum for supper cos I only had yam cake for dinner and my stomach was growling... I had fish burger. Gahs. Guilty.
And today after Clement's church event.. i had a late dinner at Macs.. I ate Fillet.. shucks. And I helped my mum made fried wonton for lunch and I kapok-ed some of it.

I think i must detoxify my gut for a few days by having real plain food before I balloon...
And then I ll go and eat ban mian. Cos I haven ate ban mian for very long! Haha.

Merrrrrrie Xmas to Alllll....

peekvid mania

When A Stranger Calls, Happy Feet and The Holiday is out on peekvid.
:)

晕倒

Surprise No. 1: I came home from camp that day and checked my nusmail acct and was shocked to find a SEP offer to me to NZ but i missed the acceptance deadline. While feeling all dui and undecided whether to persist and send an email for case-by-case consideration.. I decided to reject that offer. So tts it, im not gg

Surprise No. 2: The phone that I m eyeing dropped its price from 428 to 249! But before i could take any action, the price shot back again. 0_0

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

Anws.. went to Bugis V8 cafe to celebrate ct's birthday today and shopped arnd for a while before meeting Alex. Saw this B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L bracelet at Dashing Diva, i like it very much.. Yes..Its 一见钟情.. But I decided not to buy.. Save $.. cos' its 13bucks for a bracelet..I think I can make do better wif that 13 bucks I saved. But yes.. its green.. I m still not over with that colour.

Bought a very special calculator for alex's xmas pressie...and we went Borders.. cos theres a 40% discount for 4 books purchased. So the 13 bucks i saved on the bracelet.. I spent on a book.. hahas.. tell me its a more worthwhile spend. So i got a novel .. and she got all History, classics, Lit Book... So intellectual huh... Haha.. I said im gg to blog abt this: She actually highlights while she read her Hitler Book...Im qt amazed.. So serious for leisure reading..

Orchard crowd was bad. But theres sth qt innovative abt it. When a silly man blows a whistle.. the light shines.. the traffic comes to a halt and all pedestrian can hog the roads and dance n do whatever on the roads for 1 min..at the junction end of Taka. Qt interesting, i felt..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thats all for today.. I waiting for photos frm 1703 gathering n camp n today to come in.. So i can blog with pictures.. haha

its bout SHARING......

ask me what i got as my 1st xmas pressie this yr.
60 candy stics! Haha.. but I dont dare to eat leh.. Not for obvious health reasons.. but cos I really don dare to eat cos its cherry-flavoured. So i guess this crosses out ct, joyce, lj too..

I ll spread the joy. Who wants to eat? I m glad to share :)
Sis helped by sharing 10 with her other friends.. Now, do I have 50 other friends to help me out with it? Or one single soul wana sweep it all? Lols. Dun let it go to a waste ma..

oh ya, im back.
yuenz -> bee: wads with the animal names??? haha but i like mine. i say ure CAT!

1st attempt @ windsurfing

Day 1

Managed to derive some laughter out of those slipping/falling off the board albeit the tired arms after countless attempts to climb back up the board again and hoist the sail again. Not easy. Weather was good today, wind was fine today but the sea was rather choppy. Pls, no rain for tomorrow again! :) Hope I ll surf better tomorrow and move further out away from the shore..

Samuel told me he was there all along in the sea sports centre but was in the shop all along hence din managed to see him.. otherwise he could have given me some pointers cus the instructor was too busy with others liao...

Haha.. No pictures of me surfing or rather.. falling into the sea.. but i tell u, im very 红 now.. I forgot to apply sunscreen on the back of the palms and they were burnt! Weird... I have burnt palms and normal arms. And... I was rather happy when I look into the mirror over at the toilets at the centre cos my face still looks alright. But.. I went home and was amazed to see it getting redder and redder by the hour... Reaction time was rather slow.-_- But ok la.. I look very radiant now. Lols.

Day 2

Shall update when I come back from camp on wed. Really hope I can say I managed to surf far far!

Till then, see ya!

I dont like rainy days.

It kept me trapped in my house, cos I dun wanna BRAVE the rain.

Reason No.1:
Went Ikea that day and thunder started roaring when I reached the bus-stop. I could have taken 27 for 3 stops and I would have reached Ikea. But to avoid the rain and play it safe, I took a bus to the interchange and took their shuttle bus so that it ll bring me right to the entrace of Ikea. In the end while I was waiting for the shuttle bus under that pathetic shelter that served no use during heavy rain, I got wet as well. 多此一举 is so apt.

Reason No.2:
I spent the whole day at home again. Wallet empty, big rain = no mood to step out of the hse.
(But I found a new entertainment: This thing, I used to play with it when I was back at my old house, where there is more room for this activity. Something like horizontal skipping and its fun. Shall take a picture nxt time and I bet alot of u all haven seen it before! Anws.. i did 200 jumps with it.. yays)

Reason No.3:
How to surf on rain days arh? And then they'll make the class listen to all the theories and not being able to hands-on at all? No-no! I dont want ...... Not cheap eh....

Reason No.4:
Camps on rainy days = outdoor activities cancelled and let's play ice-breakers and indoor games. Narh, I wan to have fun...

Now, be good and dont rain anymore.
if u must, rain at night and i ll sleep tight

wahs very the preeeeeeti lehs.

its just a plain ring at first sight.
but no.... its love at first sight .

To Grow With Love (肥田喜事) Themevideo

Episode 14 and running... :) Nice theme song.. and I wonder y Mediacorp drama theme songs no longer leave a deep impression in me anymore. Im quite amazed by the 20kg she put on for this show..

angles.

enuff said bout him.

guess i shld stop all my head-over-heels over 琛哥. lols.

anws.. was having qt a diff time planning timetable for my next sem.. cos i 'd be rather busy over nxt few wks.. ( joyce... realised that our chalet falls on Round 2A.. how ah? DE got wireless?.. n bring laptop to chalet = everybody "live" msn in the room lehs.)
this time, it isnt about planning round a tight lecture/tutorial timetable.. cos no more labs and 2 modules have no tutorial.. so im pretty much free for a yr2 student still holding on to 2 lvlone modules.
this time, its about planning round a tight exam timetable.. haha can i tolerate 4days of consecutive papers? considering I was alr so "cui-ed" by the end of 3rd paper this sem. + + I dont think i ll like having 2 papers in 1 day.
Da Jias.. i alr dont know what 2 more breadths/UE/gem to take liaos... so jio me if you all need friends to take together...or rather put it this way, i need friends to take modules together with me.
But sometimes it isnt too bad taking a module alone also.. like my soci.. get to know more friends..jus tt exam nobody to discuss with you the timing only and theres a risk of remembering the wrong time slot. sheesh.

向左走， 向右走

went vivo once again and walk walk. once again i din complete every corner of the "city". once again i forgot to bring camera. 琛哥was there lor! 715 was there lor! Nakata also there lor! @St James for the Star Awards..

anw.. these few days.. a long-lost pri sch fren of mine started a task of finding all my classmates in jyps 6/10 for an honorable task of organising a class outing.. hmm wonder how it ll be like.. anws.. thats not the main point.. I saw his friendster photo and he seems to be in the air force! Wa. 琛哥！ Haha.

发霉

Seems like Mega-this Hyper-that Integrated-this is the "in" thing now.
Carrefour strike years ago and is apparently successful till now, then came Giant.
KMart failed terribly in Tampines Century Sq.
Then, came Vivo and the word "Big" just flashes in my mind even before I went there.
Then, the very big NTUC in Amk.
Now, there is Ikea Tampines.. Big BIg BIG.
So a week later theres Courts Warehouse in tampines and a couple of weeks later, a Giant HyperMart.

Honestly, I feel quite sad for the small neighbourhood shops.
The MINImart at the block beside mine is going to face some tough competition from the Giant HYPERmart.. (lol. look at the CAPS) which is supposedly to be 1 or 2 bus stop distance away from my house and then the new NTUC which is going to replace Cold Storage at the CC. Wahs. Ke Lian.

Somehow.. it is no longer lucrative to open a shop selling stationery, furniture in heartlands. Try opening Sweettalk PaoPaoCha, Budget Lelong Shop, HairSalon, Bakeries... at least i think they're not so kelian as compared to stationery and furniture shop..... (Imagine an old grandpa holding onto an old stationery shop.. business aint good cos every student is rushing to Popular to get their stationery.. Arghs so kelian but yet i wont buy any pens from the shop cos they ll be too old and the ink would have probably dried up. Sad hor. Sigh)

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

Today i broke my cycle of having an activity each day. The first day after my exam I went jogging, followed by cycling.. and then jogging every evening. But today I felt so lazy..Lazy Saturday and thus "nua" my evening away..
Haha.. guess its hard to persist this an-activity-a-day cycle.
I lack discipline. Argh.

I din feel as happy as I thought I might be after the exams.
Maybe it was because of my new hair.. or maybe its just some thinking crisis which might be over soon.

I find it hard to make things beautiful. And whenever this thought comes, I ll try reminding myself to magnify the happiness tt occurs each day. Sometimes I succeed, other times i fail. Today, belonged to "the other times".

Money, is indeed the root of all evil. But yet, we cant do without it.

Mixed feeling of guilty+任性+angry+无奈。

of ambitions.

[I would have jumped jumped jumped everyday and drank milk diligently everyday if I had watch Triumph In the Skies earlier.. Like probably K2? LoL. I would have eat carrots and maintain daily required dosage of Vitamin A. So that I will be taller now and will not have to wear specs! Nonono, i dont wan to be an air-stewardess. I wan to be a pilot! Cool man. Haha... this called 异想天开。 ]

And I wouldnt be frowning now.... 20 years of age... I dont think I know what I want to be, or its either I had decided what I want to be, wasnt too sure and then gave up in the end.. We develop hobbies and interests.. do we develop an ambition?

How does someone decide on his/her ambition? What causes the ambition to sprout?

I am envious. Of those working and fighting towards their ambition.

Meanwhile, let me just enjoy the view en route to search. I'll just try to make it as beautiful as it can be.

琛哥.... wahaha

I failed to resist the temptations of 冲上云霄 every night and I end up in front of the TV smiling to myself whenever 亦琛 appears on the screen. :) lol...he's not handsome... his hairdo cannot make it...
but he's smart in his captain uniform! and he is very rational, has a good temper, and he takes care of people very well... He has this u-try-hard-and-u-ll-still-find-hard-to-understand-him kind of mysterious air around him...
Ah... SET! I wan him as my prince! Haha.

Monday last paper..
A-cha Fighting!

Somehow i got very tired from taking exams right from the start of first paper.
LSM1401 on 25/11/2006 : Somehow i refused to write notes for this open-book exam and so.. throughout the 2 hours i was busily and messily flipping the textbookSSS and notes. I had to put 1 text under my shading OAS, lecture notes at the right hand corner of the text and some on the floor?! and the Oxford Dictionary of Biochemistry behind my butt on the chair since i was like occupying only 1/3 of the seat cos table no space liao -_-||
SC1101E on 27/11/2006 : CLASSIC! First time in my life I was so close to missing an exam. Hardworking me decided to wake early for my 1pm paper but tired me snoozed the alarm from 7.30am to 8.15am. So while i was brushing the teeth.. I felt something amissed and decided to take alook at my timetable. When i saw 9am beside SC1101E i JUMPED! I ran to my mum who was still sleeping and exclaimed and she shouted. In 5 mins time, I did the taxi booking, did the changing, and managed to gulp down 1 cup of honey drink and by 9am I super luckily managed to reach NUS ON TIME! Really must thank the Taxi Auntie who together gan chionged with me and tried her best to do alot of overtaking on the road. HENG ah!
But soci is an expensive module I spent 17 bucks tt day to rush for the soci tutorial and now 27 bucks! ( cos of booking, erp, jam, peak)
CM1501 on 28/11/2006: Wasnt with much hiccup but I was super "sieh" cos of inadequate sleep!
PY1005 on 29/11/2006: Regretted slacking too much in the day and piah-ed only last minute :( So I din have time to throughly yan jiu the mechanism of Renal and the questions of Renal was hard..:( Dont know if its jus plain hard or cus i din study enough... Surprisingly.. the other topics were easy! :)

Yay.. 2 more to go only.. Funny I cleared all of my modules except my Engin modules... Finally to give my brain a break from all the memorising..

I must continue to do more good deeds and pls bo bi bo bi!!! The day when i almost din make it to the exam hall but made in the nick of the time, i trust that lady luck is shining on me ... Continue to shine on me, at least till nxt monday !

好朋友

One of the 2 songs tt kept playing in my mind. Is a remake of a korean drama song which I loved.

I dont like the way they looked at me today.
But before that, Happy Birthday to Clement! Haven had good food in a long time :)

After our last Signals tutorial today, the tutor, whom I still haven get to know his name, asked the class if we are from Bioengineering or EE. The class today, comprising of only 5 students and out of 3 were BIE students. He looked at Huimin and I and we said we are from BIE. Then, u know what he did!?! He shaked his head, looking disappointed and continued packing this stuff.
SHAKE HEAD!? Despite being a little disadvantaged learning EE modules and competing with the EE students, I still very angry at him looking down on us! I get an A let u see! Okay lar. A-..

After celebrating Clement's Bday, I took the packed 72 back and I ended up standing.. Upon approaching my stop, I moved nearer towards the door and a lady die die also wan squeeze past me and get to the first position next to the door. But since I am also alighting, I just moved a little closer to the door and sort of indicate to her that I am alighting.. But she persisted and tried harder to squeeze past. When she finally succeeded, she looked back at me and "diao" at me twice.. and I looked hard into her eyes. I was actually quite puzzled while a little pissed, whats the difference between the first to alight and the second to alight? HUH? And need she be so angry with me?

Did I develop such strong feelings because I m getting a little bad tempered thesedays?

I was hoping I'd lose interest. I did not.. how can.
Im so addicted to it + 冲上云霄 + TV...

From someone not dutifully glued to the TV at 7pm for Goong.. I became someone who sits blankly infront of the TV at 7pm with my notes in my hands and watches Goong.. which I still dont think its nice..despite efforts to try understanding pple's addiction to it.
And at 8pm.. I begin to lay more stuff on the living room table ( pencil box opened.. txtbook opened.. notes flying).. and with the Channel U/8 variety shows as the background entertainment... Oh but yesterdays Say I Do was quite sad.. I thought I teared for the girl. Owells, its not meant to be lor.
Then 9pm.. i started packing my stuff to adjourn to the study room for some serious reading...
At 10pm, I shifted to the living room again for 冲上云霄...

Cannot like that already la.
Me to myself: I think tomorrow's episode not nice la. Not worthwhile to watch. Shit, who am i kidding. Myself.

真不好过。
早上起来虽然还说得出话， 但是浑身热热的。想找个温度计， 可是偏偏找不到。
就这样昏昏沉沉地躺在床上到11点钟，终于找到了温度计，38。2度。 好不舒服, 决定去看医生, 哪知道她今天休假, 只好随便找另一间.
现在终于觉得好一点了,想打印明天的讲译,却发现昨天还好好的打印机却不知为何突然坏了! 好气人!
这样,没有讲译, 我更不想去明天早上7.30的课了.

trust NinJiom. trust strepsils. trust robitussin. trust woods. trust vicks. trust my own immunity system.

I was still talking happily with joyce at Macs just now.
Now my throat hurts even when I try to talk.
Gahz. Really shouldnt have eaten the fries.
And somehow I think the NinJiom Candy thingy doesnt work at all.. why does zj eats it like a 仙丹then. Or maybe I should really switch flavor from Lemon-Tangerine to Orginal-which smells real bad.
Hope I ll be able to speak w/o uncomfort tmr morning when I wake up. ( its always in the morning when the throat hurts worst when someone is having sore throat.. its like.. the virus has "worked" all night) I still wanna talk to my friends on monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday..everyday.. Hengs presentation already over.

I guess I really need the tutor to look at me with condescending eyes for the whole tutorial and give me a hard time before I begin to do magically well for the rest of the module when my anger and disappointment subside.

Somehow.. I think a fairy sprinkled some powder on my Assignment 3 or its either a pixie accidentally spilled potion onto it ... Cus MAGICALLY.. I got A- for it! The tutor's comment in bold stated: IMPROVEMENT and he drew a smiley face next to it too! :) Wahs really happy when I got my assignment back.. it made my $16.80 cab fare to school worth it.

And next surprise came as my Soci presentation which somehow got A+ for it! Woohoo.. That was really qt tyco I think..But for a 5% project.. I think my group put in quite alot of effort for meeting up 2 times in person and 2 msn meetings.

Last surprise from Soci.. my term paper got A- ! Yay... cus I think i really put a lot of effort into it... despite I had s/ued it but cos i wanted to yi(4) xue(3) qian(2) chi(3)!

Yayness.
I showed Huimin a little of my lame-ness today.. When the tutor asked: clear, not clear? ( he was referring to the concepts btw)
I said: translucent.
Yeps. Im abit high after Soci tutorial...

Anw...my proj group just guessed correctly at first try that I was frm TJ and AHS.
Cus he said: U got the intelligent and innocent and guai look.
-_-

The train must be a good breeding ground for the flu virus. I dont like it when I ve no dustbins on the train to dispose my used tissue paper. Its so unglam to be sneezing and yet no place to dispose off the tissue paper.. Haha... Esp when I've an issue with undisposed tissue papers lying around. ( Arrows to my sis who shares a study table with me... )
Why dont they install small trashbins on trains?

Its a cold, windy, rainy day today. To get the true feel of a cold, windy and rainy day, try sitting along Dilly's corners table. U ll get the wind.... the splashing of the droplets of rain when they hit the ground... and the COLD.

Grasshopper visited me again today. Its his 2nd time. First time at Arts Forum and scared the whole hell out of me... The first moment I could hear the buzzing cos by the flapping of wings and the next moment it landed on my table and Mr grasshopper measures a whole of 8cm! + Alive and Kicking! Ready to flutter it -issit-wings?- and land on my head. Before it can choot stunt, I tried to look as composed as I could.. ( cos the girls at the table beside me had all their eyes on Mr Grasshopper too), packed my things quietly in order not to disturb him and !zhoom! to the other table.
Today, apparently, he likes to accompany me study.. and flew near me again... though abit further away.. Landed on the window there and stayed there.. Heng ah.

I said I wasnt afraid of lizards..din mean that Im not afraid of grasshoppers... Basically.. I think I am freaked out by all FLYING insects. Grasshopper.... 你别对我。。 对你爱爱爱不完。。。 对你思思念念到永远。。

chicken feed vs happy feet

i came across this picture, or rather i took great lengths to type www.gv.com.sg on the adress bar of IE and clicked on "Coming Soon" and scrolled and clicked on "Website" beside this little penguin from Happy Feet.

I know Im not the type who would watch Magadascar ( now, did i get the spelling right. ), or Finding Nemo or Lilo and Stitch or Chicken Little and blah blah blah faithfully off the big theatre screen; my 29" TV;my laptop screen. But..that penguin caught my eye that day while I was travelling on the escalator that leads me from Orchard Mrt underground to CK Tang. While I am still not interested in catching the film or knowing the story, I am just quite happy having Mumble as my desktop and Msn display pic. Cos' I think he is cute.

Now, i get a little sad seeing the following ( referred to as "this picture" in the first sentence of this entry) Why arh.

See u guys till 04122006!

To celebrate the end of all official assignments today as i submitted my last lab report of the sem and to welcome exams that is coming in 3 weeks time, me n xiaoli went to have our claypot rice. :)

Oops, i forgot about the signals test this wed and soci presentation this fri.

And to welcome exams, yours truly shall make more appearances along benches in engine and less appearances on msn.

haha.. another guy whos like yongxin... who makes so funny comments until i can laugh off my chair.

i dun understand why u wan me to go to work even this dec holiday.
i ve been working every single holiday after since A levels and even to the very last week before school starts.
its not like i haven been giving tuition.
ive just been through a week with 4 times tuition and im so stressed over school stuff.
a dec spent working doesnt sound convincing at all for me to endure all these.
i know $ is important but can u give ur girl a break.

i thank the someone who listens. thanks.

huh....

I think Im abit cuckoo over signals till i started having weird hallucinations about it while half-asleep-half-awake on the train on my way home from school at 9pm.
I was thinking about convolving 2 signals and somehow you need to marry a signal in order to convolve it. Marry!?!
And then on 72 back home i was thinking about something real deeply till i forgot about pressing the bell and the bus just chiong-ed past my stop. Great, good exercise and i remembered to take the stairs today.
Now, why do i seem to be in a daze thesedays.
--------

Yesterday night. I was too bored with signals and I wrote something down in my notebook. It goes like this:

I felt that he was talking crap the moment he opened his mouth after he walked into the tutorial room.
The first question he asked,"So do u guys consider urself as an engineer or biologists?"
"Engineers work well in teams and biologists ( in this case he means doctors) are people so clever that they work well enough individually and hates to work in team."

To the 1st question, only a few raised their hands to either options. Yah, i was among the majority. I din raise my hands my i was thinking: C'mon, the eqns and symbols has conditioned me into someone not very comfortable with writing lengthy essays.

He gave an example on how the 2 will behave differently if there is an assignment due nxt day. Engineers will be uncomfortable not knowing the exact hour the assignment is due while biologists will be fine with the grey area. Instantly, i thought: stereoptypical, isnt he?

Today, Im actually amazed to realise that his example actually worked on me! IRO SEP online application, i knew, was due on 1st Nov but I remember lamenting about how displeased i was when IRO did not state what hour it is due on. So issit 0001 or 2359 of 1 Nov, or even office hours?!

He also said: Tell an engineer to head a proj. He will get it going very fast but for biologists, its difficult to even start the ball rolling....
Give me your 2cents worth on this.

Yes, he started the tutorial 15mins late, gave alot of inapplicable analogies on the 1st qn and took the nxt hour and the remaining 15mins to go through the nxt 3. No lah, he took 1/2 hour extra out of the stipulated and wow.. such a long physio tutorial.
-----------

Did i say? Like how i got used to it. I learnt to get used to living without it. Perhaps then, my vicious wkly cycle will stop.

each day passes so quickly till i fear.

monday tuesday wednesday passes without me feeling much about them many a day.
thursday comes as my saddest day of the week, its always the way.
fri morning lits up on alt weeks. fri night brings me joy, sometimes i say.
weekend passes just because its welcoming a new monday.

n so i cant believe last fri was so far away.

*shakes head and sigh*

yours truly is craving for 鱼片米粉！ when tj's seem fairly inaccessible because its now school holidays.. im thinking the biz stall may suffice :)
I din know oyster omelette can be served oysterless. But at least thats what i read frm minhui's blog cus jianxiang ordered it. Maybe I shall try it someday. *shakes head and sigh* (im being reminded of huimin here... lol)

I have alot of things to do on the "someday" which may or may not come.

And no! I haven chop my hair off yet..no time no time *shakes head and sigh*

okies backs to my signals and i *shake head and sigh*

who m i kiddin?

who am i kidding when i say im taking a break from blogging because i wan to refrain it from becoming an addiction -> so that i ll have more time for my books.

在大头芬的世界， 因为思绪太多，如果不把它们都写下来，头脑会爆炸。
I think im like 大头芬 too.

Im stubborn. I dint wan to go against what ive said in my previous entry. And so i came up with a word document entitled: what happened. This is to prevent my brain from exploding. Each day... By filtering the sad thoughts, I feel that Im made a happier person. By sharing my joy, I feel that Im made a blessed person.

26/10/2006

I wish of things to happen. At the same time, how I wish certain things dint happen.
People lose things and regret having taken it for granted. This time, I dint take it for granted yet I lost it somehow.

27/10/2006

YuenLing is a happy girl today. I love today.

29/10/2006

Like I always do after watching “Say I do”, I felt so sweetened after hearing the groom’s love declaration for the bride. It just feels so xing fu to march in on the red carpet with your loved one with well wishes from everyone albeit the 4 inch heels and heavy gown and tight schedule to keep to. Omg.. and the speech the groom made during the dinner in front of everybody.. So sweeeeet!
Whats meant to be really is meant to be.

..About it, I have decided to look at it from a broader angle.
I ve been trying to let it affect me in the least magnitude as possible.
Told u im trying.

slap me if this is no longer the latest post before 30/10/2006

I have no idea why Im blogging so excessively lately.

I have decided to welcome the next post with a new haircut; I can stand long hair no longer.
I have decided to get my butt off my bed/sofa/chair/whatever and get a jog later.
I have decided not to use the haze as an excuse.
I have decided to take the stairs more frequently and really did remember when I returned from tuiton just now.


so, have i or have i not decided then.

For reasons i shall not bare.

"Let us not love in words or tongue but in deed and truth."

Anyone who has peered into my JC's notebook would have known I have got quotes written all-over, some self-invented, some from renowned philosophers and they reflect the very feeling i was having when i wrote them.
I took a look at them jus now when i was packing my drawer and chanced upon the notebook.
Some i recall the very emotions when i wrote them down and some I had totally forgotten what triggered me to pen them down.

:: if freedom has no restraints and embrace everything then it risks being tyranny, since logically it must include tyranny among the things it embraces ::

some words before starting sc1101 webcast.

On a day without lessons, i resolve to do all my tutorials for the coming week and catch up with what Ive been lagging.. like.. SIGNALS! Its signalling to me that I ve been leaving it behind too much... But i end up doing pretty nothing much in the day.. Very guilty.

I haven even been watching Goong on youtube that I refuse to do work. (yuxin..... )
I haven even been shopping for how many skirts how many 3/4 pants aka retail therapy (lijuan..)
I haven even been sick until gooong gooong (bee....tc)
I haven even been...... ( what r u busy with lately ah, joyce? ur blog seems to be providing me with no clues.. except Deathnote with a capital F.. and u nvr ask me along! hmph!)

What have i been doing? Shrugs.
I ve been at my physio textbook for hours and studying how does one regulate urine concentration and volume.. then I begin to feel very hungry.. A search in the kitchen found me Anlene Strawberry Yoghurt Drink.. and i remembered i had Strawberry Pockey in my bag! *strawberrified* :)

Speaking of Anlene and its advertising hype about osteoporeosis prevention.. I saw a program on CNA that day while channel surfing and one program got me quite interested.. High intake of vitamin A actually increases the chances of fracturing and osteoporeosis.. That is no matter how much phosphate, Calcium, Vitamin D you take to prevent osteoporeosis, high intake of Vit A just cancels all the benefits of those.
Nvr thought that a vitamin can actually be harmful right?

三件事

bee.. i finally added u in my "links" section. Finally hor? haha..
--------

I should be rejoicing that this is a very long wkend for me when I ve no lessons on Monday and Tuesday is a PH.. but I think I ll jus end up spending this whole wkend with my schwork.
Part of me wants to go gaigai on Monday but part of me says: u need to study!
xl: we can go walkwalk cum study!
[yuenling]: walkwalk cum study is impossible to achieve! when walk i tink of study when study i ll think of walk.
but we reached a decision in the end! We r going to gaigai!

--------

I think its time to make use of this long wkend to do some research on SEP and the Nus SEP awards before proceeding to my parents with some logical reasoning since the initial reply was a "no".
So far in my 20yrs of life.. such "reasoning session" has worked if I wan it badly enough.
Do i wan it badly enough or will I just make do with a "no" ?
But I ve got enough savings for this SEP trip. Again, do i wan it badly enough?
Do i wan it badly enough to reach a consensus btwn my dad and i that we will each bear half of the cost? or even bearing it myself?
I m tearing my thinking apart.. and i ve got until 1 Nov, only, to mend it up.

my reward

my tuition kid said this to me just now : a smile is always better than a frown.
She said I'd been frowning for the past few times i ve been with her so she did all kinds of stunt to make me laugh together with her.
And when i say stunt. Really stunt.
She ll jump on her bed and sing me my favourite song from the Disney's High School Musical soundtrack.
She ll use her hp and record what i said without me knowing and then suddenly play it and left me in laughs and shock.
She drew me lots of drawing which i kept in my tuition file.
Despite all the testing of my patience and mischief during lessons, shes just a sweet lil girl.

n so i say a smile is always better than a frown.
jus remind me again when u see me frowning..
y do little kids just show what they want what they feel so blatantly? i mean, its good.

i say i ll be rewarded if i survived this wk right. I think i ve just been rewarded by the kid. :)

Whats happening?
1) Surviving :)
2) Surviving :(
3) Survived :)
4) Dead :(

2..
People jus tend to wallow in self-pity sometimes.

collecting inspirations as i write

Will October just pass me by without me realising it? I dont know. Children's day seem so near yet so far and exams seem to be round the corner in approximately 1 month.

Sociology terms have been bugging for me for past 2 days ever since that 圣旨 was realised at 6pm. Nothing much was done on Saturday and in fact nothing much = introduction. Or rather i was collecting inspirations. Do you believe me when i say i dreamt about how the social attainment model and the functionalist theory of stratification finally make sense to me while i was napping yesterday ( yes again on my bed without pillow, with my specs on and notes beside me.. this has been my sleeping position for many days alr) and i actually woke up to take that down on some piece of paper beside me and continued back to sleep. And now.. I am stuck with figuring how i should use Symbolic Interactionist theory to critically evaluate the functionalists' point of view. But all is great because I am left with only 3/4 of a page to finishing.

I shall be greatly rewarded if i survive all these.

Abracadabra! AlaAliBaba!

So rare that my mum returned home from grocery shopping with junk food.

This is so cute that I couldnt resist taking time off my soci essay and took a picture of it, with it.

The conventional Maggie Mee shrunk for about 3 times before reaching the Mamee Mee stage and now it has shrunken for about 30 times at least before reaching this size. Same size as thumb lor.. and u guys know, my thumb isnt big at all lor. Haha

check out the date.

Just when I was wondering why everything just doesnt seem to be right today, i saw my friend's msn nick. So, its Friday the 13th today.

Woke up late for school today. I have no idea i snoozed my alarm clock frm 7.30am all the way to 8.15am! Heng I wasnt late for more than 15 mins for my Soci tutorial.. Otherwise the tutor wont will be accepting my assignment.

Sigh. I got a wrong definition of "Social Imagination" in my last assignment and all the 300 words i wrote turned to crap. C+ leh. From B+ drop to C+ abit drastic but I've S/Ued it anyway. Still, was feeling abit disappointed to see a big C+. So the tutor had this "this-dear-girl-did-quite-badly-for-her-assignment-i-must-'takecare'-of-her-look" when he returned my paper. So throughout the tutorial, he was really taking care of me making sure i wasnt drifting off by asking for my opinions and answers throughout. Stressed.

Fluid mechanics wasnt too well either. But i sort of expected it already. So wasnt too big a blow.

I THOUGHT the day would end well cos I went down specially from engg to sci to take a look at my physio result and it turned out to be quite well done.

But i went home to see a locked door and nobody was home! Having forgotten to bring to keys, I ve to drag my tired body to find my dad who was jogging and get the keys from him. And he just told me that I din press the "start" button of the rice cooker even though I already switched on the main power. So I have to rush off to tuition with an empty stomach now. Ah, this all not good.

Oh and if in any case that anyone is a lover of Sociology and is itchy to write a 1200words essay which is given 2.5 days to complete starting from today 6pm. I shall attempt to seek help
here:

How does the status attainment model of social mobility fit into the functionalist theory of stratification? Critically evaluate the status attainment model and the functionalist theory of stratification from the perspective of conflict, feminist and symbolic interactionist theories.

好事成双， 坏事成堆

n i feel like it now. thou abit lag.

Its so rare-rare-rare to be home on a Wednesday afternoon. No. I din skip school. I just had an absolutely short day in school.

08102006
Yea. Celebrated my birthday with my yx,lj,joyce,bee,ct as usual... at Tampines. Lol.. Realised we celebrated everyone's birthday at our home grnd, perhaps except for Joyce but Changi Airport isnt too far either. So i suggested nxt stop shall be at the Expo.. I mean they claim to have a wide variety of restaurants there right?? Went to this Jap restaurant at Tampines Swimming Complex. Details see Joyce's or Yuxin's blog.. Lol.. zzz.Lazy.zzz.
But thats out of da point cus the point is to thank em for spending 1 lazy afternoon together despite all of us hav to rush for lab rpt or some sort of assignment.

09102006
Mountain tortoise Yuenling visits ChompChomp for the first time.. yea :)
Thx xl,yix,pete,zj for bringing me there..
And as usual I m too lazy for the details.. well well maybe except for the cakes from moon.
Yix said tt the birthday gal alwaes need to do silly stunts on her birthday which i refused.. And i suddenly recalled... So what did i "performed" for them last yr? Ah. Yah. Bursting of a total of 19 balloons in hall..

-----
Had my birthday cake as a present frm mum. She says this is the last yr she is getting me a birthday cake cus nxt yr is 21 yrs old and she wanna change style to ang pow. Lidat also can.. I am so used to having a cake on my birthday for the past 20 years.

Thanks for all the sms-es and alot of people who wouldnt have known it was my birthday until they saw friendster. Oh and an expensive sms from Canada from Rebecca! Was quite shock when i saw her sms man. She used be to a reader of this blog but I wonder if she continued... hope she sees this : Thank you Rebecca!
-----

And I think i shall pre-thank alex.. cus i alr know the present is waiting for me.. whee ~Haha. I wonder when I ll be free to meet up. And I shall get u your 21st bday present on that day k? I need u to tell me what u wan!! Otherwise I ll have no idea.

I dont like to do a soci reflection on articles tt are interesting to read but difficult to reflect and write while linking sociological concepts.

Sighs. Seemingly interesting stuff just gets boring when its linked with mandatory readings and write-ups.

They always say: "just crap la."

Somehow, I cant crap tonight.

But what did i just did?

Owells. Somehow i feel that i owe this blog or rather myself,an entry regarding my birthday. Till i feel like it bah.

This was nice. Its like: think about it and u ll start salivating. Lol.

i think im blogging abit too much but i get very bored from doin a lab report for 6hours. But now its completed :)

Anyway, i got a shock again.

The condominiums in Pasir Ris that used to be visible from my kitchen window has vanished into thin air!

(and i realise i din adjust the date settings for my camera)

...

i have no idea why my parents insisted on going joggin in this kind of weather. my sis hav no idea too..

when u r too bored frm work and tired and hv been deprived of sleep for v long... sleep really isnt an option! u just HAVE to sleep. *tsk.

I looked out of my window and got a shock.

I din give a damn about the haze haunting Singapore a couple of years back when I was in p5. All I knew was that it gave us an excuse to stay away from lessons.
I look around us these few days and the haze made me sad. I feel sad for the no longer fresh air. I feel sad for our respiratory tract and the animals' too. I feel sad for the plants and everything else that is being affected by it. Engine used to have nice scenaries at particular spots around the faculty and now as I travel from one tutorial/lecture to another, I dont even get to see that afar to appreciate the beauty of those sceneries. Big Sigh.
Its making alot of people fall sick and makes it a NoNo to have outdoor activities -i think. Cos I see no point in compromising our health.

About the shock I got when I looked out from my window just now: The haze condition got worse tonight! The kids, alot of them, were gathering at the playground beside my flat and are playing with sparklers, candles... and haha burning leaves burning whatever they can find with their candle fire.. Lol cus i used to do that. I can understand the fun from playing with those. I am not telling them: Hey kids, the haze condition is getting so bad, can you dont play with those?
I am only thinking: Sigh the haze makes me sad.

When I see the clear sun again. I shall sing: Its a sunny yellow banana day!
Hmm, we have taken the nice fresh air in Singapore for granted, havent we?

Its Mid-Autumn Festival today. I was reminded of some things long long time ago.
Remember sunplaza park with bee,zhiqin,joyce,clement.. Met up for consecutive 3yrs on this day at our fav sunplaza park for some candle-playing, sparkles-lighting... I ve also forgotten how did all these stopped. Getting all grownup and busy with all the committments and especially exams that ALWAYS tend to fall on the eve or either on the day of an exam.

I was reminded of us making mooncakes for the teachers and 1703.

I was reminded of my dad's winning lantern masterpiece when I took part in some RC Mid-Autumn Festival celebration.

Its sometimes just so nice to go through the archives at the back of your mind once in a while and remind yourself that those nice stuff actually took place.

Just had an intellectual msn chat with a grp of BIE people whom I dont usually interact with in real life.
And i found a pro-ster.
Power of online MCQ assignments: Brings people clickin u on msn who usually doesnt. (here comes one more pop-up window... haha..)

Ah.. really leh 1 more pop-up window frm kelvin.

OMG! i m beginning to get the leave-things-behind syndrome. textbooks, library books and now... LAPTOP!~
Left my laptop in science canteen and went to my physio forgetting all about it!
Until the very last minute of the test then i realised it and heng its still at the place where i left it.

I MUST NOT BE SO FORGETFUL AND CARELESS NXT TIME.

duet fever

i came online specially to find these songs cus i keep hearin them play in my head since i first heard them...

对你有感觉 - 江美琪 ，光良
天天夜夜 - FIR
I Still Believe - Vivian, 曹格

：）nice


adds: eeks. i just vomited papaya that i ate after dinner. gross. but im not feeling sick or anyting. shrugs, but i sense another comin. GROSS.

*sniff *sniff

doesnt feel too good.
to see it in a better way, at least i din catch it durin the hols which might hav meant i cldnt go cycling shopping bla bla bla.


- the girls who went for the cycling :)

- haha this is to haolian my cycling cum photo-taking skills. i took this single handedly while cycling still k... n she was cycling too.. - fidgety effect explained.

it feels like 5pm but look at the time now.

My room overlooks this multi-storey carpark.
Seemingly normal in the day but pretty scary at night. I mean in the wee hours of the day like 2am, 3am.. and i can cook up a story pretty well with some imagination.
I always have an habit of peering out of that window whenever I finished brushing my teeth before going off to bed.
Till now, I have witnessed some scenes on the uppermost storey of the carpark..
....A man cleaning up the interior of the car, airing the carpets out.. like at night!?! ( Like he has just finished a murder.. finished transporting the amputated parts of the body to dump in that thick dense vegetation opposite my flat and hence decided to do a clean up)

.... A group of friends drinking under the starlight starbright.. ( What if they got all high from drinking and starts dancing and everything and falls off the oh-tt-not-very-safe wall? And i wake up in the morning to see all the gory!?!)

.... Yah and couples.. who thought they had all the privacy in the world at the uppermost storey of a carpark.

.... Just 2 nights before.. at 2am SHARP, i saw 2 cars parked side by side each other, headlights on and 2 groups of people facing each other. Of cos i couldnt hear what they were saying but it looks like a negotiation in those HK dramas! Like !wow, gangfight!?! And of course that didnt happened, I woke in the morning and peered over that window again to see nothing exciting leftover... Like bloodstains, broken beer bottles? Nope.

And of course, in the day if i manage to get some time off and stand by the window to daydream.. I ve seen...

children blading, cycling and people washing their cars ( but with a less mysterious touch), and some people taking some shots...

:: un-tamed imagination ::

p.s sigh

boo.a page just came out from my physiology textbook.

No, i haven been studying so hard until i ripped it apart. In fact i ve been napping my afternoon away.. i must ve been so tired that i slept on the bed with no pillow, no bolster, specs on, pencil and notebook neatly placed beside me. Amazing, they were still neatly placed beside me when i woke 3.5 hrs later. Plus, so dumb. I din even switch on the fan.

Anw, i wasnt feelin much satisfied or shiok after the sleep. Abit too long for a nap i say..

Heard a nice song on 933 today. A duet btwn Guang Liang and Jiang MeiQi.

Owells, i pray for nice weather tmr.

- when the clock strikes 12, i shall say goodbye

busy inside steal slack..

life's nvr too bad if u smile.
find ur smile amongst that workpile.
relax ur shoulders, give yourself a pat.

a lil' reminder for yours truly and everyone else.
i tink i just shuddered when i wrote the deadlines down in my schedule for the oncoming weeks.
i tink i just got a lil' strain in a neck. bad.

my latest fetish

oh tts green oh tts blue oh tts aquamarine!
out of 2 bags i bought in hk, 2 are green.
out of 5 tops i bought in hk, 2 are green.
out of 2 watches latest aquired, 1 is blue and 1 is green.
out of many many earrings latest acquired, all but 1 one is green/aquamarine/blue.


you go ga-ga all over sth.
the more intense, the more short-lived (c.f. 细水长流）
think about it

I feel the bliss, of havin frens willing to entertain me wherever i ve the "feel" to do anything. :)
Hrd yixin mentioning abt gg ECP to cycle and it got me tempted. A short sms to joyce,ct,lj,bs,yx settles everything and im off to ECP on thurs. Did i say, you guys are great? You din know how happy i was.

so its a cis. so wads a cis.
not along those lines of sterochemistry, know cis-trans isomers? nono.
but wads exactly a cis, and i m not even sure if ive got the spelling right. It just sounded like "cis".
owell, just hope it ll stop botheirn me soon.

my wrist is hurting whenever i write.
doesnt help that i need to write whenever i read/study, otherwise i ll not absorb anything.

adds: hurting when i type too. doesnt help with all the assignments plus addiction from msn> .<
can i engage a writer/typer or might as well, kick the addiction.

bugis tcc up up la..
i cant blief im still at it.

adds: i feel like an essay churner this wkend.. lsm soci physio. pengs.

《在你眼里》 还是 ..

nice.
没有风，云以为自己可以慢慢移动。
没有你，我以为世界照常转动。
直到光，照不进我那半隐居的窗口。
直到爱，照醒我隐藏起来的脆弱
其实我爱着你，只是我骗自己。
转了弯，而以为就能找到那面大海。
走的远，我以为只有这双脚会酸。
直到雨，告诉我一个人撑伞的孤单。
直到爱，摧倒了我面前的勇敢。
其实我爱着你，只是我骗自己。
我要的世界，倒映在你眼里。
其实我抗拒你，却找到更多的证明。
那干了的泪，原来在你眼里。
爱着你，我懂得不再骗自己。
那明天的我，正在等你，相遇……

fret no more.

joyed by little things.
i m joyed that i found a new friend today.
i m joyed that despite my previous post abt having no plans to go anywhere in mind, i finally found somewhere i wanna go. not nlb, of cus. :p
oh and 1703 gathering was quite nice despite some disturbance frm blud, had a nice lame-game.
and dec: 醒来板, i hope.

here comes a period of time when...

1. i hav no cravings for any food
2. i decided to abandon the desires for things that i said i wanted or i said was nice
3. i hav nothing ( clothes, bags, shoes) that i wan to buy ( btw joyce i gave tt shirt to my sis.. n mum volunteered to buy me a bag that i said was nice last wkend.. but i remembered xl saying: " yuenling, 你很像很多bag hor")
4. i have no movies on my list despite my frequent visits to the trailer website to spot for interesting ones.
5. i have no place that i wan to go. ( like occasionally, u know.. i ll feel like gg to same place just for no reason) not anymore.. when night safari n jbp has been covered few wks ago.. hk a mth ago.. macritchie a sem ago... where else did i say i wanna go? Ya, pulau ubin. But not now.
6. i have nothing i really feel like doin. nothing seem to be able to stir my interest. this is bad.

theres this place that i m not cravin to go, but i tink i shld go.
Haha. this sun, joyce, nlb onz? or anybody else.

前因后果

how a movie inspires.

《忘不了》

记忆好的人，往往是痛苦的人。过去的遗憾，忘不了，为何让它在你的心中折腾着你。

追逐向往的东西固然重要， 人生一定要有目标。
但是在过程中，一定千万要记住， 现在手上握着的， 拥有的， 更加需要去珍惜，不能失去。

PIMPLES ATTACK!

arghs. i need to have a good good sleep, not today but tmr night. YES, TGIF.
I should eat more fruits..

I'm glad nxt week is a free-er week and it will be a better week :)

What does visao perfeita means?
[edits] googled and found out that it means: perfect vision.
Heehee, wasnt too far from my preliminary guess: visual perfection.
Now, what has perfect vision got to do with the series of Nike products? I like that red Visao Perfeita bag lor, it just seemed so purrrrfect for the eye.

so messed up. so disturbed.
but its really not within my control.

xxxxphobia.

During the jog, i remembered I had lots to say. After reading that Soci article, I dont seem to remember all of them. Nevermind, they shall come as i type.

I quite miss running with Andrea to West Coast Park or the Ginza Plaza every tuesday ( or was it thursday), and then visiting the West Coast Park's Macs when I always had a hard time to keep refraining from buying any food! Haha... So i stuckwith not bring much cash with me along. Then there were times when a ko-song prata at Fong Seng seemed so tempting that I just decided to feast out. Kays, not really a feast.. But compare that with hall food..

n not forgetting my neighbours! Running around campus. Guess there'll nvr be a chance if i nvr return to hall again.. Running at 10 sth at night, something my mum will never allow now that I am back at home again..

Took a different route today cos I dint want to pass by a particular place. A place that the news reported that 2 persons jumped down from the multi-storey carpark just on Thursday. I just fear this sort of things since young and I've no idea why. News of people jumping off a building never failed to leave me feeling very "uncomfortable" inside and this took place so near my house somemore..

So i took a big detour avoiding that place and even when I was slightly nearer, I did not dare look in that direction also.. 怕怕... Sidenote: My tuition kid house is nearer to that "place" than my house was.. When i ended tuition yesterday night at arnd 10.. Wahs... i keep letting my imagination run wild and the 3mins walk frm my block to my block seemed longer than usual. Still 怕怕..

Guess I shall not return home late thesedays.. till i get that thing out of my mind. What kind of phobia is this?

my wkend is free!?!

I have been struggling for the past 1 hr to watch the fluid webcast but only 20mins of it has been watched.
Not struggling with the attention span or that anything is distracting me. Or if theres anything distracting me, it would be the poor streaming! Omg.. Its like buffering for every 1 min.. why why... gets me so irritated..
Shall not skip fluids lecture next time liao lah.. even thou webcast is more useful in making me listen n understand.. the poor streaming doesnt help!

I think this weekend is the only one weekend, for a long-long time, that I ve nothing scheduled for me.. Weekends since the June holidays until last week have been burnt at Escape. Okays, perhaps "burnt" seemed too lousy a word, cos at least the work is quite enjoyable. Then came alot of gathering with friends and outings... How do I feel about this weekend that is going to be devoted all to schoolwork + slacking at home? I guess its all inevitable, with an organic chem test, 1 soci reflection, 1 lab report, 2 labs and full-blown tutorials next week. I made tutorials sound like a wave of disease or something.. haha "full-blown". Sorry to 2a people for not joining you guys at Sentosa.. and I haven replied zr's message to go for 1703 dinner, cos I havent made up my mind yet.. See how bah.. I ll love to see em' thou.. its been ages.. Engagements and assignments/test all like to congregate themselves dont they?

Did i mention? This weekend is free from tuition too :)

gosh, all is random and..time to get a jog tmr.

aftermath of cn2122 tutorial

im goin to condemn my fluids tutor who is also, unfortunately and sadly, the lecturer. For the incoherent english that he uses... like mass = mars, surface= service, fact=fat and a couple of others which i properly couldnt catch and took it as the wrong word.. with the lecture notes filled up with symbols and equations with less than approx 10 english words per page ( excluding the headers, titles and such), it looks extremely foreign to me even after the lectures. Attempts to seek the textbook for help has been made difficult for there are things that appear in the notes not found in the text. Now, where on earth did those eqns come from.. grr.

Thought the tutorial might help somehow.. shouldnt have pinned too high hopes in the first place. Was extremely stunned when he called for my name to volunteer for a question that suay-suay I didnt know how to do. I told him about my doubts about the question, kindly he said: " nevermind. just go to the whiteboard and try, I ll help u".. Cheated me of my feelings when I was stucked at it and asked him for help, simply he said: " try lor.. "
What the hell.. cant u see i ve already attempted the tutorial from the foolscap paper that is full of my workings and soln? Dont know how to do means dunno how to do mah. Like standing infront of the whiteboard and think differs anyhow from sitting at my study table at home to think. Ya, and i tried to think in front of that MAGICAL whiteboard and failed. So i just wrote whatever i could and stopped. Stoned.. or rather panicked. Finally he said: "nvm, go back and sit" and i saw him shakin his head in disappointment. HELLO, u dont want to be disappointed, jolly well find someone who has already the full solns to present lar... i told u i dont know how to do and u insisted. Well well.

There is an independent study module right? I think this module jolly well fits this title. U go to lecture, gets nothing out of it and struggle to find similar chapters in the textbook.. U do tutorial, dont know how to do..go to tutorial lessons find ur team mates and seek peer help.. I think the lecturer, like xl says, really need to retire. Good luck to pple takin this nxt sem, just pray he retires.

Ya like while i m trying to do the nxt tutorial for this module, i finally cldnt tahan anymore and thus came up with the above post.. Pekchek.

i guess its all magical.

shut ur gab. hold ur breathe in awe.
what does it feel like to be .. ....?

<<太美丽>>
每一滴眼泪
每一次心碎
什么爱能无疚无悔
不灰心等待
痛苦也忍耐
你坚持爱了就不后退
我知道我不是一个轻易就会说爱的人
没有想到这样的你却改变我

太美丽 太美丽
你的爱是多么的甜蜜
太美丽爱让我也美丽
现在我不再怀疑不怀疑
有多爱你

每一个脚印
每一朵乌云
说着我的飘忽不定
伤你伤好深 别人早就要放弃
为何你还是会给我宽容
我知道我不是一个轻易就会说爱的人
可是你坚强的付出却改变我

太美丽 太美丽
你的爱是多么的甜蜜
太美丽爱让我也美丽
现在你也不必再去怀疑
当你在风雨的未知里走过
当我在迷失的自我的漩涡
交汇在黑暗中你我发出了新的光芒
现在我已全明白
什么是爱的真义

太美丽太美丽
你的爱让生命太甜蜜
太美丽只有对你感激
越过表面我看见你
美丽的心 你最美丽 你太美丽

so love this song .. if love is as beautiful as the lyrics says.

thou weird it may sound, i say im gg to visit the birdies tmr.
all da best to rebecca in canada, enjoy urself gurl.

oh ya, taozhe and FIR have some pretty nice songs in their new albums.

i thought i ll just show some pictures taken with e MacBook Pro.

mug-on

suddenly feeling very lost amidst all the faculty-hopping and lecture-dazing, alrite.. n note-taking. wads with the lethargic mind. wads with finding an empty bench arnd engine and starting to read through lecture notes cos u just hav no one for company and reading notes just seem to be the nxt better choice. wads with skipping lunches cos u just hate seeing crowds in the canteen vs u being alone. wads with school. wads with me.

the bittersweetness of school. i ve yet to taste the sweetness laid for me this sem. Bitter? i guess i ve had enough, but i know theres more rollin in.

I must say this. My printer has been miraculously revived by my magical fingers.. I am so pleased. Kays, off for studying... :)

Brownian Motion

Smoke particles are observed to be moving around haphazardly due t0 random collisions btwn surrounding air molecules.

I thought I was right about visiting the pool on a hot Friday afternoon. Never did i recall today is PSLE Oral Exam and all children from P1-P5 are having their school holidays. Brownian Motion in the pool man. And first I missed the 72 that takes me to the pool, and the nxt 72 took freakin' long to come. Grr. So I decided to walk home after the swim instead of waiting for a bus to come. Guess how was i feeling when I was crossing the junction further ahead, I turned my head and I saw 72 at the bus stop. So near, yet so far. Wahs... #%%$$$#$@

My printer failed on me...Apparently the dunno-wad-belt of the printer just went out of it gear, or sth along those lines. And I remember me taking great lengths to get my printer ink cartridge being replaced after a wrong delivery of the cartridges to my house. To sim Lim, and then to NUS Bazaar, took me a total of 3mths of waiting to get my cartridges exchanged for the right one. And suddenly school starts, printer snapped. Great. ^&$$%#$#@

I am speechless. Wad a day.

:: just, keep me from the cold ::

A glimpse back to NDP...for yuxin and joyce.

Sea of red, everything was great...

Side track... and last yr's ndp: NDP 2005

Not too bad, I have 2 great friends to accompany me for the occasion on 2 separate years. :)

Decided to upload the random pictures that I have taken using my hp.. lets see which shall be the first one... ----> my mum got home from the market one day and asked me to guess what is that thing below that she has bought. In a rocket shape, its actually a super glue. Haha.. Unscrew the the blue part, u'll find a real sharp needle, unscrew the orange part, use the needle to poke the opening and the glue goes flowing... overflowing to be exact.

----> using dunno-what technology.. u can now print pictures and words on flower petals. Up leh... thou i think its nicer and more natural without the printing.. Its like... if the flowers uses their petals to breathe, which luckily they dont ( i think?), they'll suffocate with all the printings!

---> even the cacti werent spared..

---> yah, i like the red one.

I have been acting like the whole world's against me, irritated by the slightest-ever things i have seen, or i have heard. I decided to make peace today.

Whee~ How i love having Cailing and Weijie as IC, had good colleagues at work today.. Made the 9.30am - 7.30pm shift seemed shorter than its supposed to be. Had free Mac's nuggets and BK's cheesesticks today, courtesy of Weijie & Kenneth.

its not everyday tt im so im-chim

I swear I would have taken a picture if my phone's camera is silent, or even better, at a better resolution. 7 obasans dressed in bright colours, sitting opposite me, fanning 7 flowery-colourful fans away synonymously(great, how do i spell this.), in 1 direction, chatting away( and conversation btwn the 1st obasan and the 7th obasan when they are sitted in a row!?)... I thought it was a rather hilarious sight.

Got me quite irritated when I was trying to concentrate on Blink, even the music from my earphones couldnt cover their voices. Grr.. Imagine 7 colourful things in continous simple harmonic motion at the corner of your eyes while you are trying very hard to understand like what Blink is trying to say about Paul Van Riper and his war strategies?

I think I am in a grumpy mood today. Woke up first thing in the morning is to complain about the lack of creativity in daily's breakfast. Showered, made my way outta home to nus, to board on a train ride made worse not only by 7 obasans but also da da da da da da.....
Shall spare those da da da da da da..
Guess everything that happened on the train ride would just slip through the corner of my eye or find them less irritating if I had woke with a good mood.

I cant believe it, tell me im crazy.
I am in a : great! since you say so, I ve got nth to say - kind of mood.

'nuff said.

"there is no such thing as an inner child. Its all outer" - Helena Bonham Carter

We all go wow-ing/wah-ing/ah-ing at the fireworks in the night sky. Little girls and boys held their breath in amazement, dont we too?
We talked and laughed about spongebob squarepants cartoons and go all silly taking photos with handphone cameras under poorly illuminated conditions.

How long have u not let the child out of you?

*grinning from ear to ear*
Ah, hanabi ga totemo kirei desu!

Happy Birthday eleen!

[edits] did i mention im going Jurong Birdpark with my hall neighbours? thank you xiaoli for organising... Whee~

his kate, her alex

Caught Lakehouse last night @ The Cathay with joyce, yuxin and mr. sudoku, as yuxin puts it, or Mr. anonymous. Haha.
Anyways, I am a little too excited on my last day of work and is currently suffering from abit of verbal diarrhoea so bear with it.

Lakehouse was pretty much a quiet film. Be sure you are feeling very awake the time when u decide to watch it because its pretty quiet, pretty slow, i guess its suppose to conduct a very romantic atmosphere. Generally, the twist which is also the climax towards the end of the show came rather unexpected. Thou yuxin and I correctly predicted that the guy in the accident was Alex, I dint really expect that he ll live through it. I thought it will be sad show where the guy just dies in the accident, the girls goes on with her life alone.

This extrapolates to a song that I recently noticed that has been playing in the ipod. Or rather it just suddenly dawn upon me to check on the lyrics, that good ol' familar song, Tell Laura I Love Her. I swear I dint know it is a sad song. Tommy and Laura were lovers.
Tommy din survive the car accident, unlike Alex.

Tell Laura I Love Her
( Ray Peterson )
Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents,
But most of all, a wedding ring

He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollar prize it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother, Tommy said

Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I've something to do, that cannot wait

He drove his car to the racing grounds
He was the youngest driver there
The crowed roared as they started the race
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace
No one knows what happened that day
Or how his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath, they heard him say

Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die

Now in the chapel where Laura prays
For her poor Tommy, who passed away
It was just for Laura he lived and died
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry

Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die

Is Daniel Powter's Bad Day suppose to be a sad song or angry song or what? I know it always leaves me feeling very happy after hearing it. I must be waiting for today to come for ages, during the outing yesterday, I keep thinking that it was Friday already. Haha, until Joyce say I must be thinking of last day of work think until crazy liao.

just recieved a call from Laoban helping him advertise. Anybody in the pharmaceutical industry wans to take up a sales position in Lighthouse? Got lobang.

Saw xinijia's pictre at friendster which was taken at the zoo! I wan to go! This time not to the zoo, haha last yr went liao. This time i wan to go Jurong Birdpark. Saw from the news that they did some renovations and looks different now. Anybody wans accompany me go Birdpark? Last time i went was when my sis in K1 leh... had to join some drawing contest. Haha.. is Jurong Birdpark in Jurong?

Hiccups Causes
-Many conditions are associated with hiccups, but none has been shown to be the cause of hiccups.
-If you eat too fast, you can swallow air along with your food and end up with a case of the hiccups.
-Any other practices that might irritate the diaphragm such as eating too much (especially fatty foods) or drinking too much (drunk people hiccup) can make you prone to having hiccups.
In these instances, your stomach, which sits on top of the diaphragm, is distended or stretched. Because they occur in relation to eating and drinking, hiccups are sometimes thought to be a reflex to protect you from choking.

Maybe because i was eating too fast, maybe I almost choked on the green chilli, maybe fried rice is too fatty.

Justin Timberlake's Seniorita makes u moooooove.Guys, good night. Ladies, good morning.

I say, I miss being sandwiched between xj/ms room and the guys room.

Notice 20060803

20060804 will mark the last day of work for me at Lighthouse! Today is my 2nd last day! I am so glad that I will not be bugged by the handphone alarm every morning at 7am and be stationed at work from 8am to 5pm having pretty much nothing to do! Woohoo, do you sense the euphoria?

Side-track a lil, I have a few places to visit nxt week.
i) Visit the dentist. Haven had my 6 monthly dental checkup yet, supposed to be due in March! Confess! Who haven had their check-ups done since school doesnt provide any more of those services? Wahaha
ii) Visit the hairdresser. My fringe irritates me.
iii) Visit the optometrist...I need a new nice pair of specs.

Sorted out the company's mail this morning and opened a letter from HSBC that states the following:

Dear Sir/Mdm,
Thank you for choosing HSBC and using our FX Spot transaction service. As a token of our appreciation, please find a pair of movie tickets from us enclosed.

"Hey, boss can u let me have the tickets?"
"No problem, just take it"
*yay* I am glad i just thick-skinned and asked about it instead of slotting all the mails into his pigeon hole. An estimation of the amount of things he has in his in-tray, I guess it will take eons for him to realise there are 2 complimentary movie tickets sitting in his tray.
*yay* self-claimed farewell present, I am lil teeny-weeny happy, but I haven decided to utilise them on which movie yet and with who. I ll see whoever comes along. :)

I must be in a pretty good mood lately. Had my 2 previous posts all ending with :).

A burning question to ask.
I have seen alot loving chocolates and cheese. So to make a choice, which will it be?
If you were to choose to have only 1 among the 2, will it be the cheesy cheese or chocolately chocolates?

I dont know how to start a poll so reply via tagboard bah.
1 vote up for cheese thou :)

Picked up the novel at 10am this morning and I finished it just in time for me to knock off from work after ending this entry.
ZXX nvr disappoints me! Haha.. Like the novel that I ve just finished. Her books never fail to leave me feeling v immersed in the plot. The unrealistic amongst the reality. Lang man.. Awww.. so sweet. Haha.. thou abit impossible in real-life, its good to immerse in fantasy once in a while. :)

To post this entry was not in my to-do list after the HK trip since majority of the readers of this blog are also readers of lijuan's & yuxin's blog (++ yuxin's got picture while I may or may not upload them when I reach home and have the pics at my disposal.. Lol I am very lazy..) But then.. I guess it ll be different to read my own entry like mths/yrs later..

So here it goes:

Day1 (Sin - HK)
Met up at 4 plus in the morning and headed towards the Changi Aiport. Took off at 6.40am and reached HKIA at 10.20pm. Bought our Airport Express tickets to Kowloon station before taking a cab down to YauMaTei where our hotel YMCA Intl House was situated. An interesting note, the taxi's meter jumps at irregular intervals and one jump is $1.40. So weird hor, why dont jump like 50cents since Sg's taxi meter jumps at 10cents interval and the exchange rate is like 1:5 approximately. Check in time for hotel was 2pm but we requested for the 2 rooms to be on same level and hence need to wait till 3plus. Meanwhile, we had our luggage deposited in the hotel while we started our eat-buy-eat-buy journey.
Had our first lunch in HK in a small eatery near our Hotel. Or maybe 90% of HK's are small. But they are like what we say: Ma Que Sui Xiao, Wu Zhang Ju Quan. I had chicken wings and minced pork rice ( I think the amount of pork I ve eaten in HK surpasses the amount I ve eaten from Jan 2006-20Jul2006 lol. Abit kua zhang... But u know what i am getting across). Was quite salty but quite nice also. Had a bad ice lemon tea, despite our efforts to make it taste better by squeezing lemon tea and puting sugar, it still tasted bad.
Went walk walk see see at Trendy Zone before heading back to hotel.
Checked-in to our room and I was quite pleased with it. Better scenary than what I had in West Hotel 2 yrs ago. Abit more spacious also.
Continued with eat-buy-eat-buy at the Tsim Sha Tsui area. Boarded the mtr and went to the Espirit outlet. Bought 3 tops. Moved on to Avenue of Stars and we were in time for the Symphony of Lights. Was basically a laser show coordinated with music and lights from tall buildings between the HK Island and Kowloon. Was pretty.
Went for dinner and had Ping Pong Wanton Mee. Liked it and is the 2nd time i eating it liao. Followed by roasted "er" and charsiew. Fatty oily and sinful. But i tink its supposed to be its plus point but i took it as the minus point.
So much for the first day and we ended by shopping at Ladies Street. Bought a bracelet, lol was an imitation from Tiffany & Co. Slept at close to 3. Oh forgot to say we had nice desserts and Xu Liu Shan.

Day 2:
Woke at 7 plus to have Dim Sum. Walked all the way from Yaumatei to Jordan to Tsim Sha Tsui's Granville Road. Was supposed to be a shopping district flooded with fashion shops and shoes and accessories blah blah blah.. But we bought nothing.. Oh yah, but before reaching Granville, I bought a Coca-cola teeshirt. Veh nice I like it. Had some kind of tze char kind of food at Ashley Road. Not too nice cos very oily. Imagine Mee Hoon soaked in oil, with some salty fish taste and very very fresh chicken bits. Haha.
Was too late when we finished lunch. So had a change of plans to visit Causeway Bay @ HK island instead of going Disneyland.
Causeway Bay was a lil different from Kowloon, guess its a little brighter, with more people, more "up" more tall buildings and busier. Went Sogo but bought nothing. Just see see since its supposed to be landmark of Causeway Bay.
Went to sit "Dian Che" (those buses hooked with wires on top). Had a good view of HK's messy+busy+interesting streets. Quite an experience lah cos Sg's no longer had dian che.
Proceed to Central to get our Peak tram tickets up the peak. Had quite some difficulty locating it but we found it finally. The peak tram was quite an eye-opener too but I tink the journey is too short liao. But Sg's bukit timah hill or mt faber dont have trams that go up mah. Haha.
Up the peak was a feast for our eyes. Pretty scenary but the air is lil polluted. Snap snap snap, took alot of pictures.
Took a taxi down the peak... turn ah turn ah turn ah, had a lil motion sickness after that.
Had our dinner at Da Kwai Huo, HK's mini version of Sg's typical foodcourt.Shared Pork Baked Rice with yx and thats the first complete phrase of canto i spoke in HK! Pork Baked Rice = Gok Ju Pa Fan. Was quite proud when i said that. :)
Rushed to watch Aqua Fantasia pyrotechnic display beside the Clock Tower. Was very nice.. Coordination with pyrotechnic lights, music, water fountains, and fireworks.
Went to Temple Street Miu Gai. Saw a street full of fortune tellers... So qi guai a sight. Dint buy anything from there, is really a Men's street, all the stuff dont interest me.
Shagged when i laid down on bed at 3 plus again.

Day 3:
Woke at 9 to have a late breakfast. Had HK's Po Luo Bao + Not nice coffee.
Headed straight to Disneyland. The mtr to Disneyland was decorated with nice disney bronze statues had we had fun snapping our cameras away. Oh the mtr tickets and disney admission tickets had nice pictures on them and we get to keep them. :) Was zhun zhun in time for their disney parade. Feels abit like Chingay replaced with all the disney characters. Had nice pictures taken. Then we queued up 1 hr for a go-kart like ride but turns out to be very kiddy. Just step on the acccelerator and it will go, no need to turn stirring wheel. No need to change gear/step brakes and it will follow the tracks and move by itself. Its called autopia.
Took a Fastpass for the Indoor Roller Coaster Space Travel, meaning we can come back like 3 hrs later and use the fastpass to jump queue so no need queue so long. Meanwhile had our pictures taken with Pooh, Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy. Space Travel was thrilling, forgot to mention. Then we queued for another 45 minutes for some Pooh Storyteller ride. Did a video on it.
Went to Tarzan's adventureland just 1/2 hour before the fireworks closing and heng heng theres nothing much to see. Bought a few disney souvenirs in disneyland.. Haha wasnt too tempted by the disney chracters to buy their merchandise. Even thou they were cute, but not my type.
Disney closing fireworks was abit disappointing. Just plain shooting with disney backgrnd music and with the castle view.
We were all amazed that we didnt eat anything since breakfast. Oh and disneyland's sun got me burnt and was all full from gulping alot of water to replace water loss through perspiration.. Sun was very strong.
Had Claypot Rice in a shop that was recommended by travel guides. Was at close to 1am and we were the last customer. Had sotong that was very crispy and fresh and the claypot rice could have been better if they were not packin and closing the shop while we are still eating. Felt abit the stress.
Back to hotel.
I had the most amount of money left amongst the 4 of us till then.. cus i spent the least in disneyland.

Day 4:
Had Hk's chang fen and hum chim peng and you tiao and porridge for breakfast. I tink is the best breakfast in 4 days. I tink dim sum was not as good as this. Haha. Chop chop check out of our room and walked to Mongkok area. Did the most shopping today: Perfume at Sasa, 2 Disney Polo Tee at Giordano, 2 bags, You Zhi Liang Pin Chestnuts and some snacks, Pastries and the remaining souvenirs for freinds. Had some Dao Xiao Mian for lunch was quite tasty i think and started raining when we stepped out of the restaureant. Imagine one hand carrying6 shopping bags and an umbrella in one hand walking through narrow streets in Hk. Haha train bicep leh. They are heavy and heavy.
Dumped everything into an extra bag that i bought at the hotel lobby and So i ended up with 1 sling bag,1 super big tote bag and 1 cabin size luggage. Took all these on the train to Tsing Yi to get the airport express train. While we were refunding the value remaining in our octopus card, sg's ez link card, we saw the express train approaching and decided to chiong for it. The customer service was very nice and helped us with our luggage into the train. The doors when beep beep beep indicating door closing when i realised my super big tote bag with my sling bag was MISSING!
Chiong out of the train once more and realised it dropped out of the trolley whle we were rushing. So malu.But heng i realised it early, if not all my passport and flight check in materails will be lost with it too. Maluated.so careless.
Board our flight at 8.15pm and landed in sg at 11.50pm. Was about 12 midnight when we passed custom. Haha, the Gui Men Guan opens at this time too on 1st day of lunar seventh month. Then was home sweet home then back to work.

On hindsight, I was rather happy that for 2 trips to Hk, i had visted quite different places and parts of hk.

Happy birthday to daddy and zj...
