Last Day of 2007

So Alex and I went jogging! After so long we met! This time, finally, not for FOOD! Haha.. Time to move our butts to the tracks!
This girl refused to let me take pictures of her face unless I know photoshop. -_-
So.. she says.. "take pic of our feet to prove tt we went jogging" ... haha


Guess who's whose feet.


And i managed to steal a backview of her...

At the end of the run..by tt time,the place was rather empty liao... we walked 2 rounds round the tracks and were singing like 2 crazy girls! Or rather she was singing, cos I dun know how to sing the songs playing from my ipod.. BUT this girl knows instead.

And so we sat down n chatted until the stadium bells rang ( like those recess bells in pri n sec school) and until the lights went off.

Such a breezy night (:


Skinny face Alex and Fat Face Me. Not v glam photo..cos after run ma.. Hair all messy.
And of course this wasnt Photoshopped. Otherwise I wont look this fat.

Aha, I found one new yr resolution.. Fit into the smallest piece of clothes in the wardrobe! HAHA.

JUST IN TIME... 2 more minutes to Yr 2008 as i finish this post.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Was never a procrastinator. Now a BIG one.

Last Saturday. Oh I must start on my UROP report tomorrow.
Sunday. Oh tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Its the festive season, I shant do it.
Monday. Its Christmas Eve! I should be pacing up and down Orchard Road, not typing n reading reports.
Tuesday. Christmas Christmas! No party also must relax n chill. Report? No-no. Wednesday. Maybe I should start my report. No I din. I ended up watching movies, dramas, documentaries. All but UROP.
Thursday. Of course I m not doing any work today! Its the day journey to the west to the Science Center and followed by my highly anitcipated I am Legend! Friday lah.. friday I should be able to do serious work.
Friday came. Never to expect I ll be out of the house frm 10am all da way to 12midnight. Salon. Driving. 2a. talk. laugh. relax. laugh. ( i told myself, its time to stay at home tomorrow. Do my report and occasionally entertain myself with the not-so-entertaining show repeats on Channel 8)

So today (Saturday) came again. Itchy hand itchy leg me couldnt stay at home for nuts! Went jalan jalan with yx..
So.. Oh I must start on my UROP report tomorrow. (erm this sounds very familiar.)

BOO!

JOYCIE miracle straw



Plain Milk + Joycie's Miracle Straw = Strawberry Milk! 10Q!
A pity it was gone in sixty seconds.. Or maybe even faster!

Slurps,Yum yum.

Its time like this when I'm done for the day, I think of what happened today. What happened yesterday, and yesterday's yesterday(s). What will happen tomorrow, and tomorrow's tomorrow(s).

CLICK and listen.
And close your eyes. What do you see?

Ok, maybe nothing. Then its not meant to be.
How amazing music conjures up different images in different individuals.

如果说 :) 是充满心机........

I guess you call this a "im feeling a little lost, a little confused, and alot of dunno what and how to do".



Just came back from the play starring ChongQing adapted from Cai Zhi Heng's novel ＜＜第一次亲密接触＞＞．Did alittle research before I headed over to Sistic counter to book my tickets and parted with my $$. Versions of the novel were available online but I refrained myself from reading them! Wanted to be introduced to the plot first-hand from ChongQing's protrayal as 痞子蔡 in ＜＜第一次亲密接触＞＞.

＜＜第一次亲密接触＞＞ is a 独角戏，meaning ChongQing will be the only actor on stage. He did a good job engaging the audience, amazing and entertaining the audience for approx 2hours. Imagine the hard work he has to put in just to memorise all the lines and assume roles of different characters. And we say talking to people is hard, I think talking to thin air as though theres someone there is even harder.

The plot was a simple one. Alittle too simple and stereotypical.
Boy meets girl online, grow to like to each other, boy n girl goes on a date, share some romantic moments, girl leaves boy due to terminal dieases, boy chases after girl, girl dies, boy sad.
Just finished reading the actual online novel. Realised that ChongQing, or either the playwright, did a good job in adding elements of humour ( ok that includes dirty jokes and daily singlish like "giam siap" and "tiao gang"), hence better engaging the audience. The original novel was somewhat boring, perhaps cos it was written more than 10 years ago by a Taiwanese author. Places like 阳明山 was replaced by Serene Center MacDonalds' etc.

Lastly, what drew me to this play was this: (taken from Peifen's Blog)

如果你曾经因为爱一个人而

1）失眠
2）傻笑
3）掉眼泪
4）打扮
5）等待

那你一定会被这出舞台剧感动。

I dislike that kind of feeling am feeling right now.
After watching this play is like after watching Grey's Anatomy. Its not like what happened to the story have exactly happened to u in real life. But it just....
Leaves u pondering, sometimes disturbed, uneasy. Its like bringing up threads of thoughts that otherwise haven been buried, (almost) forgotten.

But Im glad I have watched it.
"emo lar..."

A little GingerBread Man for ya Xmas!

YuenLing is back again !!!



“好大 好美 好冷！”

I'm missing the nice weather and scenaries over at Cameron Highlands!

Thesedays.. I get entertained easily.
I get disappointed easier.

有时候 看着有些人守了大半生 承诺 原则
在后头 却失去了原有的 意志 坚持

觉得很可惜 很失望
就好像...
你看着冰 慢慢融化 然后？真的融化了 没了


变质。

Hot & Spicy

The highlight of the visit to Changi Airport Terminal 3 Openhouse was the super spicy Tom Yam Kway Teow Chicken Soup from Lerk Thai. Look at how many pieces of chili padi I fished out from the soup! On the right is an untouched plate/crucible/bowl? of chili padi and look at how much I have added on the right.
Sense of satisfaction after finishing. The 快感 i get from eating super hot stuff (: Shiok!







On the whole, wasnt very impressed by the design of the new terminal..But perhaps its due to the lack of vibrance, cos its still pretty empty. (Shops are mostly not open). Alot of trees planted everywhere, but u see dried leaves on the floor.. -_-

Not many places suitable for the "kodak moment".. So we played with this:


Aha! too short.

IM BACK: HOW DID I SPEND THE BORING MUGGING PERIOD
(warning: not very exciting)

I dont have blog entries secretly stashed away during the mugging period. (erhm, coughs*) So when I open shop, I dont have alot of entries to bomb.. Some photos to share.. dated 1 month ago??


Slides for my Engine Prof presentation seen on ZJ's Mac. Super good program with a timer and while the presenter is presenting, he is able to read off notes from the laptop screen while what is shown to the audience is only the slide! HAHA. ( erm. ok i tink i did a bad job to explain the features n didnt do justice to it. Go mr nzj blog for more details! haha) To think i was very impressed why his group din refer to any cue cards for the presentation at all! Thanks for sharing eh.


No prize for guessing who. I just found this pose very amazing. Erm, okay anything is entertaining during boring mugging period.


So bored. 6 days between my first paper and the next. Nvr stepped out of house for that few days! Cannot believe it. So i decorated by posts-it. Nice not..all my notes written for this semesters exam are of this color theme. Free thrill.


Stress-induced eating! Keep eating cornettos lar! Luckily its mini.. imagine if its the big sized, den i ll really up size. And then within this month that I din blog, I bought munchy donuts twice! The last time was after BioMaterials paper on Monday! But realised it was too sinful, and I have decided to make it my last donut purchase till Jan. (:


My sis friend came back from China and gave her this 欢欢 迎迎 北北 晶晶 thing for the 2008 Olympics. This amazing pen has 10 colours all in one! Reminds me of my design group..For a few weeks we have been drawing ideas from the mechanics of retractable pens, staplers, clorets box for our product. An amazing module in an amazing sem, with amazing group mates with amazing experience.

So after a destructive Biothermodynamics paper on Wednesday, we went to have a lunch cum dinner at orchard! No more ENGINE CANTEEN for next month! There was a toy fair at TAKA, lingered for quite some time there, exploring toys, re-experiencing childhood. Watched abit of the Sesame Show too, some photos i took. Quite badly, either I was too short or I was too far away.







可爱的ernie. Clumsy, fell down.


The main point of this photo is to show the porcupine amongst the dogs.


This was how i looked like after Biomechanics Paper. Maybe not blue. Green perhaps. Fweaked Out! Haha.. Btw, can anybody tell if its cookie monster or twitterbug??

Goodnite! Itchy hand me booked a driving lesson at 10am tomorrow.

Pursuit of Happyness, Revisited

In the pursuit of happiness, part 2: Appreciating lil' things that inject JOY
TAKE 1: <<望梅止渴>>

I came online feeling SIAN with an overworked brain. Just as I was about to open the Google Document for the Engine Prof report, yix pm-ed me with this:

http://www.waraku.com.sg/pastamenu-grandmenu.html

Feeling very happy simply by just looking at the menu. They look cheerful, ya i mean the food. Dont you agree? (The strawberries in the dessert section looked like they r waving and smiling at me...)
One sentence: I'll go there SOMEDAY.( I seemed to have planned alot of SOMEDAYS thesedays..)

TAKE 2: <<无名>>

Won't be doing the artist/sender/drawer justice if I din post this up..
Here's the famous bunny saying: RISE AND SHINE!



Pple, heres a constant reminder to SHINE always. Be cheerful (: (p.s occasional whinings are okay haha)

David Copperfield Singapore Performance [Cancelled]

This might have come abit slow..



Haha.. disappearing act. Apparently some issues with FBI. Hmmz. Haven got time to read more on that though.
There I was saying that I should catch this particular show cos I'm not sure when is he doing a disappearing act from the world for real and for ever. (which means: to die). And there he is... cancelling this show... and allowing me to save enough money, and find at least one kaki to join me for his performance.

I posted the question to some of my friends around me.. Interesting answers I've got,but Yx's was most reassuring.Thanks girl, at least now I know what I dint used to know..
The path of discovery isnt that bad after all huh.

Been actively writing lately.. For both Engine Professionalism and for neverending lab reports. Jiayous everyone, and to myself.

Tata.

???

Above (or maybe below) Engine Professionalism, the Columbia accident, rotator cuff repair, patent search, I have now one more question for myself: What is my dream???

See,I cant even dream properly.
I feel deflated. defeated maybe, by the practicalities of life.
Thx to whatever who brought it up. At least, I dint wait till my deathbed to realise this. I still have time.

The search goes on... (now, this sounds familar..)
